*XO*  Shuttle  powered up , starting preflight diagnosis

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : Very well.. Hold for authorization for launch..

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::leans into the CNS, and whispers:: CNS : Are you all set?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
XO: I have the freighter on Long Range Sensors, sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO: Aye, sir, most of the members of the AT are aboard

CNS_Richardson says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Of course I'm all set. ::voice sounds a little edgy::

OPS_Meelor says:
XO: 20 particles of space dust per million, a gravimetric radiation spike, and a class two comet... ::smiles at the TO:: ...and a freighter in a pear tree.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::makes sure the transponder signal is checked ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : Very well.. I'll have our eager TO join you when it's time to go...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::shakes head:: OPS : Hail the freighter...

OPS_Meelor says:
::bows his head slightly to the XO and opens a channel:: XO: Channel open, Commander...

TO_Eldad says:
::Glances at the sound of his name, he looks back to his console nervously::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM Klingon Freighter  : Klingon Freighter, this is Captain Amendoeira of the USS Paula Greene. Respond...

OPS_Meelor says:
::wipes a hand across his meaty whiskers and continues to work at his console, ensuring the communiqué goes out properly::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: No response as the Paula Greene closes in.

TO_Eldad says:
XO: I'm picking up weapon signatures ::Scans again:: Klingon weapons signatures to be honest, Sir.

OPS_Meelor says:
TO: Where do you suppose that cloaked Bird of Prey has gotten off to?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
XO: Sir, the freighter appears to be in some distress.  I'm also picking up some remains.  Possibly a Bird of Prey.

OPS_Meelor says:
::begins scanning the weapon signatures trying to determine if they belong to the Bird of Prey::

CEO_Hull says:
::Turns over ME to his Duty Engineer, and heads for the Main Bridge::

OPS_Meelor says:
XO: Commander, should we have an away team readied?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: OPS : What do SRS say? Any life signs aboard? What's their status?

CNS_Richardson says:
:;stands up, walking around the bridge, stopping behind various officers in turn, watching them::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: OPS : Yes.. You and the Chief go over there.. Looks like they could use the Chief's expertise...

TO_Eldad says:
OPS: Mmm, I'll run a Tachyon scan ::Glances at his console:: Yep, that should do the trick

OPS_Meelor says:
XO: Commander, scans of local ion trails suggest that at least two separate bird of prey were present in the area.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Where do the trails head off to?

TO_Eldad says:
::Glances back at the OPS comment:: Self: Or maybe not.. ::Frowns::

OPS_Meelor says:
::nods at Amendoeira, takes a big whiff of his rebreather, and heads for the turbolift:: *CEO*: Chief, you are needed in transporter room two...

CNS_Richardson says:
::stops behind the Ops officer, looking at his console, over his shoulder::

CEO_Hull says:
::In the turbolift:: *OPS*: Aye, on my way!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Where do the warp trails head off to?

CNS_Richardson says:
::frowns at the Ops console, and reaches out, making a slight adjustment to one of its controls::

OPS_Meelor says:
:;steps into a turbolift:: *Sickbay*: A medical team is needed in transporter room two.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. at OPS> ::Moving down to take the seat, gives the CNS a peculiar look::

CEO_Hull says:
::Exits the TL and heads for Transporter room 2::

CNS_Richardson says:
::raises an eyebrow at the replacement ops, and moves on::

Host FM_Selan says:
<MO Angel> *OPS* On my way, sir.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Junior FCO drops the Paula Greene out of warp right on top of the battered freighter.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
<FCO_ Goode> XO: Coming out of warp

CEO_Hull says:
::Arrives in TR2::

TO_Eldad says:
::Turns to look at the bridge::

OPS_Meelor says:
::gets out of a different turbolift and meets the CEO in the corridor outside transporter room two:: CEO: Chief...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: TO : Ensign?

CEO_Hull says:
OPS:  Away Mission?

CNS_Richardson says:
::moves over to the Science Station, and stands close behind Audrina, watching over her shoulder::

OPS_Meelor says:
CEO: No, the pattern buffers are full. Please empty them...

TO_Eldad says:
::Looks up startled:: XO: Y-Yes Sir?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : I asked where the last known ion trail leaving the region was headed off to.. What was their heading?

CNS_Richardson says:
::reaches over the CSO's shoulder, and makes an adjustment to her console controls::

CEO_Hull says:
OPS:  They are full?  ::walks over to the Transporter control console, engages the pattern recombiners, and energizes::

OPS_Meelor says:
::grins and slugs the CEO in the shoulder:: OPS: Of course it's an away team... ::goes and gets the a tricorder, palm beacon, and medical kit::

TO_Eldad says:
::Nods:: XO: S-orry, sir.. ::Turns to his console, and begins scanning::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
XO: There's no life signs on the freighter, sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets up, and moves to the Tactical console, and pats the TO on the shoulder:: TO : It's alright Ensign... ::Pauses as he hears the report:: TO : None? Any bodies?

CNS_Richardson says:
CSO: Here, you should adjust the frequency so... maybe you'll pick up something... ::makes another tweak::

CEO_Hull says:
::looks over at OPS REB, then looks down at the console::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CNS: Then do it yourself  ::storms out of the bridge::

TO_Eldad says:
::Picks up a PADD and reads it, trying to find something. He finds it and turns around:: XO: Sir, the remaining ion trail leads to the Romulan space

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: CNS : Counselor? What are ya doing?

CNS_Richardson says:
::grins, and sits at the CSO station::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::winks at the Counselor..::

CNS_Richardson says:
XO: I'm manning this station, what's it look like?

OPS_Meelor says:
::goes over to the transporter pad and straightens his uniform:: CEO: Ready when you are, Chief.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises an eyebrow:: *CEO, OPS* : When you're ready.. You have a go for beam out...

CNS_Richardson says:
::studies the controls, and reaches out to a blinky light::

TO_Eldad says:
::Turns around and resumes scanning::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS : I didn't know you had Science training, Counselor..

CNS_Richardson says:
::looks up:: XO: I don't.

CNS_Richardson says:
::goes back to the buttons::

TO_Eldad says:
XO: I'm detecting bodies on the freighter, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS : Then what are you doing there?

CEO_Hull says:
OPS:  Pattern buffer is clear, I wonder why that happened?  ::shrugs::  Target scanners locked, energizing ::runs to the platform::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : How many?

CNS_Richardson says:
XO: I mean, how hard can it be? ::punches a button::

OPS_Meelor says:
::thinks he confused the CEO and decides to go easy on the sarcasm::

TO_Eldad says:
XO: Hold on please

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Compare it to the crew manifest...

OPS_Meelor says:
::shakes his head quietly as the CEO joins him on the pad, stifles a chuckle::

 Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Both the CEO & OPS  are transported over, and rematerialize in the slightly shattered bridge of the Freighter. Klingon warriors lay here and there ... all of them dead.

TO_Eldad says:
::Nods at the XO::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: CNS : Counselor... Please leave it alone.. I'm sure you can let the people that can handle it, handle it..

OPS_Meelor says:
@::materializes on the bridge and puts a hand to his face:: CEO: It's ripe in here!

TO_Eldad says:
::Gasps:: XO: All dead ::Pauses:: Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: You know.... ::pauses, and goes back to fiddling the controls::

Host FM_Selan says:
<MO Angel> @ ::Materializes with two other Med. Officers. All three of them gasp::

CEO_Hull says:
@OPS:  Wow!  ::Voice raised an octave or two, trying not to breathe while speaking::  that is.....very very ripe!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: COM: AT : People.. We are scanning all the crew compliment on the freighter killed.. Find out who did it, and see if the cargo is missing..

OPS_Meelor says:
@::scans his palm beacon around finding bodies lying all over the bridge:: CEO: Since when do Klingon warriors man freighters?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS : Counselor... Don't make me order you...

OPS_Meelor says:
@::sighs:: Self: Guess I won't be needing this medical kit...

CEO_Hull says:
@OPS:  They dont in the book I read.....::begins scanning with his tricorder::

OPS_Meelor says:
@::heads over towards what looks like a power display and taps away at the Klingon script buttons::

TO_Eldad says:
XO: Should I inform Starfleet of this, Sir?

CNS_Richardson says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO: Excuse me? You.... order me? ::pauses another few seconds, then mumbles under her breath:: Order me indeed.... I've had just about enough...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods at the TO without taking his eyes of the Counselor..::

CNS_Richardson says:
::sits back in the chair, and glares in the XO's direction::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS : Counselor.. I am your superior officer.. What do you think you're doing? ::signals for a couple of security officers on the bridge to approach the Counselor..::

TO_Eldad says:
Self: O-kay.. ::Shakes his head and contacts Starfleet::

CEO_Hull says:
@ COM: PG:  Transport complete, we have a freighter here manned by Klingon warriors, all dead as far was we can tell, Hull out

Host FM_Selan says:
<Two Sec. Personnel> ::Approach the CNS::

OPS_Meelor says:
@CEO: Can we get some power to the environmental controls? Get a little fresh air in here?

CNS_Richardson says:
::looks at the approaching security officers, and concentrates in their direction, picturing them in her mind, running into a brick wall::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the two sec. personnel stop in their tracks.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sec. Officer One> Eh?!

CEO_Hull says:
@OPS:  My tricorder is showing these Klingons here and here, and there ::pointing to the bodies::  were killed by violence, this one had his neck snapped, this one had his neck cut

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns, and grabs the Counselor’s arm:: CNS : Tari.. What are you doing??

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sec. Officer Two> ::Tries to move  forward ... pulls out his phaser::

CNS_Richardson says:
::looks at the XO's hand on her arm, and raises her gaze to him very deliberately:: XO: I suggest you move that hand. Now.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Ensign.. Call more security..

TO_Eldad says:
::Looks back, watching the security officers he then look at the XO:: XO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Meelor says:
@::nods:: CEO: We better see if the weapons are still in the cargo hold. ::begins to head towards a hatch that his tricorder tells him will lead deeper into the ship::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS : Tari.. You don't need to do this.. You know you shouldn't be here...

CNS_Richardson says:
::concentrates on the TO's console, picturing it exploding, in her mind::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS : You're not qualified for this job..

CEO_Hull says:
@OPS:  The CO here had his skull caved in.  The LCARs database shows phaser fire, energy source used by that of the robotic Triona

CNS_Richardson says:
XO: You know, I've had about enough of you telling me what to do

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Part of the TO's console opens up unexpectedly, but it does not blow up.

TO_Eldad says:
*Security* Please report a team to the bridge, we have a.. ::Looks shocked at his console:: situation here?

CNS_Richardson says:
::looks at the XO's hand on her arm, and stares::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The XO is flung away telekinetically.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: And then, suddenly, an orange surge of energy grabs the CNS up ... and she vanishes.

TO_Eldad says:
::Moves away from his console, staring at the CNS and then at his console::

CEO_Hull says:
@OPS:  Scanning further, cargo holds are on deck 4 according to the ship schematics

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::flies over the railing, and lands head first onto the Big Chair::

CNS_Richardson says:
::poofs::

OPS_Meelor says:
@ ::stops at a panel outside the nearby cargo bay and conducts an inventory of the bay::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::poofs::

TO_Eldad says:
::Moves quickly to the XO:: XO: Are you okay, Sir?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTIONS: Moments later, she finds herself in the beautiful valley that the CTO found herself hours earlier.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::watches as the last light turns green ::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::materializes, and looks around::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::In a new silky get up, walks over to the CNS:: CNS: Counselor! What a surprise!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets up from the chair, straightens his tunic, and smiles:: TO : I'm fine, Ensign... Please join the FCO on Shuttlebay one for AT duty..

CEO_Hull says:
@::Covers his nose and mouth with his arm across them to mask some of the stank::

TO_Eldad says:
XO: Maybe you should go to sickbay, Sir.. ?

CNS_Richardson says:
#::looks at the Vulcan:: Vulcan: You. I should have known. ::sounds very irritable::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : O'Rourke.. She's gone.. Start your tracking... But don't leave until the TO reaches you.. He’s going to lead your Security detail..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Aye, Sir, ::nods at SO :: Tracking for her now

TO_Eldad says:
::Sighs:: XO: Very well, Sir.

OPS_Meelor says:
@::frowns at the inventory records:: CEO: Well, looks like they’re all gone … pretty much just torpedoes & bombs though …

TO_Eldad says:
::Turns to leave to the TL::

OPS_Meelor says:
@COM: XO: Commander, we have a problem...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM OPS : Don't tell me.. The weapons are missing?

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Smiles:: CNS: You did know, that's why you're here. To track me down?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Sir, we seem to have a problem

CEO_Hull says:
@OPS:  Tricorder study shows decomposition is about 12 hours old, this happened not too long ago

CNS_Richardson says:
#::studies the Vulcan:: Vulcan: Listen, don't mess with me. I'm tired of them telling me what to do, but I have no intention of taking orders from you, got it? ::pokes him in the shoulder, for emphasis::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Looks at her hand:: CNS: Fair enough, hungry?

TO_Eldad says:
::Enters the TL, he turns around:: TL: Shuttlebay one, please

OPS_Meelor says:
@COM: XO: Yes sir. But whoever did this helped themselves to a handful of bombs and torpedoes.

CNS_Richardson says:
#::studies him:: Vulcan: Hungry? Not really. ::looks around:: What is this place?

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: A haven.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises an eyebrow:: COM: OPS : Starship torpedoes? What kind of bombs?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* We seem to have a problem, sir

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : Yes?

TO_Eldad says:
::Parts the TL, he begins making his way to the shuttlebay::

OPS_Meelor says:
@::adds on as the CEO talks:: COM: XO: According to the Chief, it could not have been more than twelve hours ago that the crew was killed. According to the inventory, these bombs were planet-killers, sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Sir, the SO says he doesn't even get the whisper of a trace

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Begins walking toward a path gesturing for the CNS to follow::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::laughs, a skeptical note in her laugh:: Vulcan: A haven? Hardly... it is very pretty, but I doubt its a haven. ::tilts her head, thinking:: A haven from what, exactly? ::her eyes are scanning the landscape, as she speaks::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COM: OPS: I was kind of expecting that... Return to the PG.. We'll have a freighter come along and pick up the freighter..

CNS_Richardson says:
#::doesn't follow::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: You can stand here and wait for whatever native creatures to come and ... "poke" you, or you could come with me. Your choice. ::Smiles and walks off::

OPS_Meelor says:
@::chuckles slightly at the words of the XO and nods to the CEO:: CEO: Let's get back to the Paula Greene...

CEO_Hull says:
@ COM: XO:  Sir, my tricorder is picking up energy signatures of that of the Triona!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : What do you mean? Tap into the Starfleet sensor arrays.. Track her down!

TO_Eldad says:
::Looks around in the big shuttlebay:: Self: My..

CNS_Richardson says:
#::considers a moment, then shrugs, and follows::

TO_Eldad says:
::Walks slowly to the shuttle::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Aye, sir, :::tells that to the SO aboard::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Tries to keep his silky pants from getting dirty in the ... dirt::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CEO : We'll discuss it when you get back, Chief..

OPS_Meelor says:
@::heads back to the bridge with the CEO and signals they are ready for transport back::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::stifles a giggle, at the sight of the Vulcan trying to keep his pants from dragging::

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: The CEO & OPS are beamed back to the ship along with the med team.

TO_Eldad says:
FCO: Sir?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : We need to find her, O'Rourke.. Pronto...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Sir, He says he is getting negative reply from even that

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: As the Vulcan & CNS cross through the quite alien, yet exquisite, forest ... Richardson begins to hear the sound of children playing in the distance.

CEO_Hull says:
::Takes a deep breathe of fresh air::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns, and puts his hand to his forehead:: *FCO* : Does he have any ideas on what we can do to find her?

OPS_Meelor says:
::arrives back on the Paula Greene:: CEO: You okay, Chief?

CNS_Richardson says:
#::somewhat surprised by the sound of children, but tries to hide that surprise as she continues after the Vulcan::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: Ah, here we are ... ::Begins to exit the forest::

CEO_Hull says:
OPS:  Yes, just taking a gulp of fresh air, hadn’t seen anything like that since the Klingon War

TO_Eldad says:
::Looks back for a second, he then looks back at the FCO:: FCO: Hrm.. ::Nervously:: Sir?

CNS_Richardson says:
#Vulcan: Ryan... wait... is she here?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Sir,  he says maybe if we wait a bit the signal may cross the distance .... She may have gone too far away

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: Both exit the forest to reveal a beautiful village which is occupied by dozens of people from various races, some of which the CNS has never seen before.

OPS_Meelor says:
::nods and pats the CEO on the back before heading out of the transporter room for the nearest turbolift::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: Your sociopathic Tactical Officer? Yes, she is.

CEO_Hull says:
::follows Meelor to the TL ::

CNS_Richardson says:
# ::is intrigued by the people around them::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Sir, and to top it off some other races are not co-operating  by giving us access to their sensors

CNS_Richardson says:
#:;stops a moment:: Vulcan: May I speak with her?

TO_Eldad says:
::Sighs and waits, he leans on the shuttle::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: She's sleeping. ::Walks down the path, and smiles at some children who are playing by telekinetically tossing a ball between them::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : Ok.. But if that's the case, you can forget using the shuttle.. We'll pursue her on the Paula Greene.

OPS_Meelor says:
::steps into a turbolift:: TL: Bridge...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO* Aye, sir , securing shuttle

CNS_Richardson says:
#::pauses another moment, and then continues on::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO,TO* : Return to the bridge..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::starts shutdown sequence of shuttlecraft::

CEO_Hull says:
::Takes a couple of whiffs to see if he can still smell the stank of their uniforms::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::stops again by a group of children, her own mind fascinated by the abilities they are showing::

TO_Eldad says:
::Open his mouth to say something to the FCO, but soon forgets about it. He just sighs and begins making his way back to the TL::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::throws final switch :: *XO* Aye, sir

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the CNS detects swift movement out of the corner of her eye ... and before she knows it, she is in the strong grasp of Skyler. One of his hands is covering her mouth, the other holding her shoulder, preparing to deliver a swift, violent twist ...

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Turns to see Skyler trying to kill the CNS:: Skyler: Rick ... let her be!

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> # ::Stops::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::starts to struggle, and then stops::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> # ::Then slowly lets go, stepping back and staring daggers into the CNS::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::leaves shuttle and heads for TL ::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::returns the dagger gaze::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Grits his teeth:: Skyler: Go. Now.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> # Vulcan: But master ... she --

Host The_Vulcan says:
# Skyler: GO!

CNS_Richardson says:
#::steps up to Skyler:: Skyler: Touch me again, and you will pay...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::shakes his head::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::enters TL ::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> # ::Returns the cold hard gaze:: CNS: When the time comes, your abilities won't save you ... not even your starship can. ::Turns and exits::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
TL: Bridge

TO_Eldad says:
::Stops, he lets the FCO ride the TL alone::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::glares after Skyler:: Vulcan: You choose poor company. I thought you had better taste.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns to the SO on duty:: SO : Can you please tell me the last heading of the trails exiting the area?

OPS_Meelor says:
::smiles at the CEO:: CEO: I guess this is one instance where my lack of olfactory senses comes in handy. ::waves at his small nose and rebreather::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Steps up beside the CNS:: CNS: He served his purpose. ::Smile:: After all, I now have you and dear Sarina in my company.

CNS_Richardson says:
#::shrugs:: Vulcan: I suppose, though, when we turned you down, you had to settle for what you could get. ::her voice angry::

CEO_Hull says:
OPS:  Yes, lucky you, all in a days work they say <G>

TO_Eldad says:
::Sighs:: Self: Great, now the FCO hates me ::Grabs his other hand to stop the shaking::

OPS_Meelor says:
::steps out onto the bridge and moves towards the XO:: XO: Commander...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::exits TL  onto the bridge::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: And I am grateful that you have chosen to see the light. To come into the future.

TO_Eldad says:
::Notices the TL coming his way, he sighs::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::hmfphs::

CEO_Hull says:
::Follows Meelor to the XO::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: OPS : Lt... ::turns to the chief:: CEO : Triona?

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: Well, at least you will once you give up on this insane plan to capture me and rescue your CTO ... ::Begins to walk away::

TO_Eldad says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Bridge, please

CEO_Hull says:
XO:  Aye Sir, ran it through three times to be sure

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Sorry  Sir ::frowns showing his disappointment::

CNS_Richardson says:
#Vulcan: You talk fine... all blowhard and no substance. ::her voice challenging::

CEO_Hull says:
XO: And Sir, it was Klingon transporter signature that beamed those weapons off

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : It's ok. Mr. O'Rourke.. We had to try anyways..

OPS_Meelor says:
::waves a hand for the XO to come over to him and whispers conspiratorially to the Commander:: XO: You might want to have the Chief talk to the Counselor. It was pretty rough over there for him.

CNS_Richardson says:
#::doesn't follow the Vulcan, but turns her attention back to the children, studying them::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : I would if i could.. She's gone, and we can't seem to be able to locate her..

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: Stop trying to goad me. You will accomplish nothing of it. You are without your ship, and your crew. There is no possible way of getting back home. So try to make the best of it.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: It should have worked, but if they went out too far.. even as fast as subspace is , it may take a while

CNS_Richardson says:
#Vulcan: I'm well rid of that ship and crew. ::grins at him, though the smile doesn't reach her eyes::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CEO : Are you saying that someone on the inside beamed the ships out? Or did the pirates just kill everyone and then take over the freighter's transporters?

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: We've already establish why you are here, Counselor. Don't try to lie to me. You haven't had enough practice with your newfound abilities to shield your thoughts ... yet.

CNS_Richardson says:
#Vulcan: They've held me back long enough. But, mind you, I have no intention of exchanging one master for another.

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: However, I can teach you that ... and so much more.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Very well.. in the meantime, we have to find out what happened to the weapons that freighter held... Please see if you can follow both the trails leading out of the are..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::relieves the  relief FCO and takes his seat back ::

TO_Eldad says:
::Parts the TL, he begins making his way back to TAC one::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: Hmmm, despite the fact that you are still lying ... I do sense a feeling of being "held" back deep in your heart. Fascinating.

CEO_Hull says:
XO:  Hard to tell Sir, I would need two separate readings for comparison, with just one ::shrugs::  What else is strange, is that there were only Klingon casualties, no Trionas

CNS_Richardson says:
#:;grins again:: Vulcan: Indeed. ::her voice doubting, she makes a low mocking bow:: Then, "master", I am ready to learn.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*TO* Eldad, did you find anything of trails from the Freighter? What band?

Host The_Vulcan says:
# CNS: No, not yet.

CNS_Richardson says:
#::raises an eyebrow::

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::Turns and begins walking away:: CNS: When you've accepted your fate, you'll learn.

TO_Eldad says:
::Glances at the FCO:: FCO: I'm right here, sir.

OPS_Meelor says:
::raises an eyebrow at the XO and heads back to his console:: Self: That could be a problem...

CNS_Richardson says:
#:;watches him walk away, and then turns back to the children, refusing to follow::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
:TO: ooops, Didn't see you , what data have you on the ship or ships?

Host The_Vulcan says:
# ::As he disappears around a corner:: ~~~~ CNS: Your friend is in the building on the right. ~~~~

TO_Eldad says:
FCO: Well, one trail was heading to the Romulan space. The other is well, here ::Points at the viewscreen::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::as she watches the children, looks at the buildings, then picks up that message from the Vulcan, but refuses to acknowledge it::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Gets up and  walks over so he can look at his screen ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Drop a marker in the area, stating that this freighter is under Starfleet protection, and shouldn't be pillaged..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::walks back and sets up  a course to track the one headed to Romulan Space::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::keeps studying the children, but trying to get a feel for what's around her, and how safe it might be to walk over to that building on the right::

OPS_Meelor says:
XO: Aye sir... ::sees to it that a marker buoy is dropped and magnetically held in orbit of the freighter::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Ready Sir

CEO_Hull says:
::turns and heads for the Eng1 console, then downlinks his tricorder data into the main computer core::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Engage...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
TO: Eldad, , thank you

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::engages:: XO: Engaged

OPS_Meelor says:
Aloud: Woo Hoo! We're off now! ::enthusiastically::

CEO_Hull says:
::Activates the Eng1 console and takes control of Engineering from the bridge::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Take us as close as you can to the Romulan border, and stop there..

TO_Eldad says:
::Nods and looks away nervously::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION:  The Paula Greene leaps into warp for Romulan space.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Aye , Sir

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: ETA, to all stop  2 hours

OPS_Meelor says:
::glances around at everyone looking at him:: All: Oh, umm ... sorry.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Contact Starfleet.. Have them talk with the Romulan government.. We need permission to enter their space, should the need arise..

CNS_Richardson says:
#::starts walking slowly, moving from group to group of children, ostensibly watching them, but heading toward the building indicated by the Vulcan::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Lt.. Take us to yellow alert, and keep sharp.. I don't want any Romulan Warbirds to sneak up on us..

OPS_Meelor says:
::nods and works on opening a channel to Starfleet Command:: XO: Did you want to speak to them personally, sir?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::shakes his head:: OPS : No.. Just explain the situation.. Tell them that if they want us to find out the stolen weapons, they'll need to get us permission to enter Romulan Space.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::tracks the course of the ship  we are following ::

CEO_Hull says:
::Begins a computer search of Triona encounters by Starfleet personnel and Federation Starships::

OPS_Meelor says:
::nods:: XO: Of course sir ... we can probably get the Klingons to lean on them a bit too, since it was there freighter. ::begins composing the message::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CEO : Chief.. Try to locate any recent Triona sightings.. And make me a report on the incidents..

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Good idea, Lt..

CNS_Richardson says:
#::reaches the outside of the building, and stops, looking around to make sure the area is clear::

CEO_Hull says:
XO:  Conducting a search now Sir!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::sits back down on the chair::

OPS_Meelor says:
::wonders why a Klingon Bird of Prey would attack a Klingon freighter and then escape by heading into Romulan space::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Any ships in the area?

CNS_Richardson says:
#::doesn't enter the building, but edges to one side, looking for a window::

TO_Eldad says:
XO: One moment, Sir. ::Begins scanning::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::reaches a window, and peeks in, trying to see::

CEO_Hull says:
XO:  ::intrigued::  Sir, the computer search findings are in, our own CSO was the only one who had any type of encounter with the Triona on Earth. And, to date, there have been 74 deaths involving sixty-nine different races attributed to dissections similar to those committed by the Triona on Earth. 

TO_Eldad says:
XO: Just a few ships, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::taps his fingers on the armrest::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::once her eyes adjust to the room interior, she spots the CTO sleeping inside::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::scans the rest of the room, as much as she can see, but doesn't see any other occupants::

CNS_Richardson says:
#::looks around her, outside of the building, to make sure she's still alone::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: CEO : Then i guess it's a fair assumption that the Triona are the ones doing this.. But why? Pinpoint all the killings and dates, and try to see any pattern... If they are going to strike anywhere next, i want to know about it..

CNS_Richardson says:
#::doesn't see anyone, so starts back toward the doorway, slipping inside::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CNS is alone in the room with the CTO who is sleeping peacefully.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CEO : Also.. Contact the Dkorai.. And have them transmit the Triona's programming.. I want you to study it to help with your investigation..

OPS_Meelor says:
XO: Commander, I've sent the message to Starfleet Command with a copy to the Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire.

CNS_Richardson says:
#::moves over to the CTO, and makes a few quick checks of her condition, to make sure she's physically ok::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Very well, Lt.. Let's see if they can reply before we reach the Romulan border..

CEO_Hull says:
XO:  Aye Sir:  the data here shows that most are concentrated in the Beta Quadrant along the Klingon/Romulan/Federation border,  another interesting piece of information Sir, these killings all appear to of started after the Paula Greene's engagement with the Gamleasians last year, they attempted to steal 90 Triona then.

CNS_Richardson says:
#::considers for a moment, then gently shakes the CTO, to awaken her::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CTO is fast asleep, and doesn't wake up.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CEO : And we failed to return 3 of them... ::smiles:: Get the data on the Triona that where on that shipment... Specifically, try to get the signatures of the three Triona missing..

CNS_Richardson says:
#::frowns slightly, and then steps away, looking around the room::

CEO_Hull says:
XO:  ::reads additional displays::  Sir! 87 of the stolen Triona were recovered, all Mark IV's, however, three Mark V's were never recovered, we have no data on the Mark V's, obviously the next generation of Androids

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::makes a minor course correction ::

CEO_Hull says:
::Sends a subspace message to the Dkorai requesting schematics and data on their Mark V models::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: CEO : Darn it... I was hoping we'd be able to spot them.. Who had info on the Mark Vs?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CEO : Try to find as much info on the Mark V's as possible..

CEO_Hull says:
XO:  Only the Dkorai Sir, they have it classified at the moment

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CEO  :Well, get it unclassified... We need that data..

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene continues on their journey toward Romulan space, trying to piece together this mystery ... meanwhile, far ahead of them, a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey enters into Romulan space, it's sole three inhabitants working on the bridge.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Omega> % ::The Vulcan Triona Android:: ALL: We've entered Romulan space.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Prime> % ::The Bolian Triona Android looks at sensors:: ALL: We have not been detected as of yet.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Alpha> % ::And the Human Asian Triona Android whom Captain Cromwell encountered at the beginning of this year leans forward:: ALL: Excellent, now Phase Two can begin.
