CTO_Ryan says:
@::Asleep in an unknown house within an unknown Village::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene remains outside of the Romulan border, awaiting orders from Command.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::sitting at the Flight Controls Console monitoring the ship's status::

Tsalea says:
#::At the helm, flying::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::in the room where the CTO is sleeping, standing near a window, studying the surroundings outside::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Sitting in the big chair::

Host CO_Madred says:
#::aboard the runabout Yak Quin and opens a channel to the Paula Greene:: COM: PG: This is the Runabout Yak Quin requesting landing clearance...

CEO_Hull says:
::At Eng 1 console on the bridge::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: Incoming Transmission

CMO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Put it on.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Awakens slowly from a feeling someone is in the room with her.  Opens her eyes slightly and sees someone standing at the window in her room::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::throws some switches::

Tsalea says:
#::Slows shuttle to approach vector::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: On Screen

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Vulcan's village is still as beautiful and amazing as the CNS last saw it.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::turns, and sees the CTO waking, and moves to her side::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::stood at Science 1, monitoring the shuttle::

CMO_Biishe says:
COMM Yak Quin:  The is Lt. Biishe.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Opens her eyes wider allowing them to focus and recognizes the CNS::  CNS: What are you doing here, Counselor?  ::Sits up slowly::

Host CO_Madred says:
#::offers his most endearing of smiles as Biishe appears on screen:: COM: PG: Doctor Biishe I presume ... I am Captain Madred, requesting clearance to land.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
:::locates the appropriate controls to open the Shuttlebay doors::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods her head::  COM: CO:  Captain, I have heard a lot about you.  It is my pleasure to finally meet you.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Welcome to the world of the waking... how are you feeling?

CMO_Biishe says:
COMM:  Madred:  You have permission to land in shuttle bay one.

Host CO_Madred says:
#::bows his head ever so slightly:: COM: PG: Nothing good, I hope ... I'll join you on the bridge as soon as we land.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: A bit groggy, but I'm okay.  How did you get here?  I hope not the same way I did, however that was...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::opens the shuttlebay doors ::

Host CO_Madred says:
#::closes the channel and smiles at his wife:: Tsalea: Shuttlebay one, pudding pop.

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: How much do you remember? Of how you got here?

CEO_Hull says:
::monitors the incoming shuttle, on approach:: 

CMO_Biishe says:
COMM: CO:  I look forward to it.  Biishe out.  ::Smiles::

Tsalea says:
#::Raises an eyebrow at her husband::  CO:  You appear in a good mood.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::monitors the shuttle bay view, ready to close the doors::

CMO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Send an escort down to shuttle bay one please.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey continues on its course for Romulus. Inside it are the three Mark V Prototypes ... Alpha, Omega & Prime.

Host CO_Madred says:
#::chuckles:: Tsalea: Just glad to be back out in space again...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Alpha> % Both: Status.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: Aye, Doctor

Host FM_Selan says:
<Omega> % Alpha: We are on course. We should be at Romulus within seven hours.

Tsalea says:
#CO:  So I see.  We are approaching now... ::Brings the shuttle through the doors and down for a gentle landing.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Rubs her eyes and runs her fingers through her hair pushing it away from her face:: CNS: Well, I remember struggling with Skyler in the corridor and all of a sudden I somehow kicked him back against a bulkhead...the next thing I knew I was here, or rather outside somewhere here.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Prime> % Alpha: No Romulan vessels have detected us as of yet ... as far as I can determine.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::sends a signal to security to send down a group of Side boys to welcome the new CO aboard::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::closes the doors::

Host CO_Madred says:
::stands and picks up his duffel:: Tsalea: I better get to the bridge ... dinner ... later? ::musses Larte's hair as he walks by, looking over his shoulder::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Turns to the FCO::  This should be interesting.  I hope it works out well.

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: It was the same way, I think... we both used the powers from the Vulcan... and ended up here. Apparently, by using, we've "signed on" to whatever he has in mind

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO:  I hope it is ok that your husband is  in his sleep cycle

Tsalea says:
::Nods::  CO:  Yes.  I will get Larte settled along with our belongings.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods and blows her a kiss before heading out through the hatch in a hurry::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks at the Counselor a bit shocked:: CNS: Powers?  I didn't have any powers that I knew of, but I thought it was a bit odd that I was able to escape Skyler's grip on me.  He was very powerful.

CMO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Tealk and Madred are old friends... just bad luck.

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: They planted a transponder in me, hoping to be able to track us, and recover you... but I haven't seen any indication that this was successful, so far

Host FM_Selan says:
<Alpha> % Omega & Prime: Good. I want Phase Two to go according to plan. This is our best chance to learn.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::nods:: CTO: Well, it looks like you subconsciously used em... that's how you ended up here.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: Ahhh...good thinking.  Now we just wait and see if it works.  Have you talked with the Vulcan or Skyler yet?

Host CO_Madred says:
::sees the sideboys come hurrying in and chuckles, taking fast long strides out of the shuttlebay and towards the nearest turbolift::

Tsalea says:
::Shakes her head and looks at her daughter::  Larte:  Don't forget to put Ya'li's on a leash.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Omega & Prime> % ::Nod in agreement::

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: I've talked to the Vulcan. He indicates that he knows that I'm here to get you, but thinks I'll come to accept my place here. And Skyler... yes, I've seen him. He seems ... subservient to the Vulcan.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CMO: I'm detecting a large tachyon surge to port.

Host CO_Madred says:
<Yeoman Stuart> Tsalea: Oh, I will take care of that Commander.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: As the CSO states this, a Romulan Warbird decloaks off the PG's side ... easily dwarfing the Galaxy Class Ship.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: Have you any idea how we might get out of this place and back to the ship on our own?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: Red Alert?

CMO_Biishe says:
CSO:  Can you identify?

Host CO_Madred says:
::steps into the turbolift, his escort hurrying to keep up:: TL: Bridge...

CMO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Yes

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::hits the Red alert klaxon::

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: The Vulcan has instructed him to leave me alone. Skyler obeyed, at least for the present. As to getting back on our own, I have no idea... and we aren't the only ones here, either. I have seen groups of children.

Tsalea says:
::Turns to the yeoman::  Stuart:  Thank you.  But I think Larte had best handle Ya'li... if you could help us with the rest of the stuff and direct us to our quarters please.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
# COM: Paula Greene: U.S.S. Paula Greene, this is the Warbird Taylayock. We will be your escort into Romulan space. Do you copy?

Host CO_Madred says:
::hears the red alert klaxon and his smile slips into a frown::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::brings up the shields and weapons to full power::

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: Have you had a chance to look around? I don't think we're prisoners here. We can wander about, I think

CMO_Biishe says:
::Sighs::  FCO:  Reply to the Warbird.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
# ::They refrain from bringing their  shields & weapons to full power::

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: Children?  What species of children?

Host CO_Madred says:
<Yeoman Stuart> Tsalea: Of course, sir. ::goes to pick up some of the bags and belongings::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::considers:: CTO: Various. Some species I'm familiar with; others, I have no knowledge of

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: We copy,  Sorry, you had startled us

Host CO_Madred says:
::steps out onto the bridge and takes it all in a single glance:: COM: Warbird: Thank you Taylayock ... we'll be happy to have you as an escort.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: No, I've not had the chance to look around.  We could try leaving here though.  ::Stands from the bed and tugs on her uniform::

Tsalea says:
::Watches her daughter leash the very large Bajoran iguana.::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the door to the CTO's room opens, and an alien female enters.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at Madred and smiles::  CO:  Quick.

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks down towards the command area:: CMO: You're relieved doctor... FCO: Helm, lay in a course to follow the warbird.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: Go to yellow ?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks to the door and instinctively takes a defensive stance::

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: Do you feel up to wandering.... ::stops in mid sentence, and looks at the woman::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Steps out of the chair and to its side::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, Sir

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: Green, Mister O'Rourke ... and turn off those damn sirens.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Rag> @ CTO & CNS: Ms. Ryan & Ms. Richardson?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::lays in  to follow the warbird::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stands, and faces her:, nodding:: Rag: Yes. You are....?

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at the tactical officer to lower shields and put weapons on standby:: All: Just one big happy Galaxy...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::turns off the klaxons::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks suspiciously at the woman:: Alien Woman: Who wants to know?

CMO_Biishe says:
CO:  You are aware of the situation?

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Rag> @ CTO & CNS: I am Rag. Our master wishes to speak with you both.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
ACTION: The PG stands down from red alert.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::tilts her head, considering:: Rag: Your master?

CTO_Ryan says:
@Rag: OUR "Master"?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: We are just getting hard copy from Starfleet that we have permission to enter Romulan Space with an escort

Host CO_Madred says:
::turns back towards the CMO, leaving O'Rourke to the helm, tosses his duffel under the CO's chair:: CMO: I was briefed en route, Doctor. I think you will find that Lieutenant Stuart is a very capable Yeoman.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Rag> @ CTO & CNS: Follow me, please. ::Turns and exits::

Tsalea says:
::Ignores the looks the group of them get with the large iguana dragging Larte along::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Well, I'm curious...

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks at the CNS and shrugs then turns to follow Rag out of the room::

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: The Vulcan, I presume... ::follows after::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods at the FCO's comment and waves a hand for the CMO to have a seat ... goes to take the Captain's chair::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
# ::The Warbird comes about, and jumps into warp ... uncloaked, waiting for the PG to follow::

CMO_Biishe says:
::nods::  CO:  Have you also been informed of the current situation with our CTO and counselor?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::goes to warp behind the warbird::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Takes the XO's seat for now.::

CEO_Hull says:
::monitors the warp core and deuterium levels::

Host CO_Madred says:
::takes a seat and again waves his hand for the CMO to sit:: CMO: Yes Doctor, I have ... unless you have something to add.

Host CO_Madred says:
::gets comfortable in the center chair, moving his rear around a bit to find the right spot::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
# COM: PG: We have several vessels searching for the Klingon starship responsible for this violation of our territory. Those warriors will pay dearly if something serious happens as a result of this.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::starts adding to his maps::

CMO_Biishe says:
CO:  As I understand it, we have been unable to track the counselor after she was taken.  Other then that, no.

Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Warbird: Understood Warbird ... but keep in mind that we have crewmembers and a mystery to solve here. We'd appreciate first crack at them.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::makes her way through the village, following Rag::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Incoming message , sir

Host CO_Madred says:
::closes the channel, already tired of Romulans::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
# ::They note the scanning:: COM: PG: And please refrain from scanning in this area. ::Having opened the channel again::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::goes to passive scans::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Allows her eyes to adjust to the light outside the house and follows Rag through the village::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Rag> @ ::Leads the CTO & CNS to a larger house::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CMO: Probably a range factor ... most transmitters can only transmit so far. My understanding of the abilities of this Vulcan are that she could be almost anywhere.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Shinar> ::Comes around a corner and walks straight into T'salea & co. Spits out the drink he is sipping upon recognition::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::nudges Ryan, and nods, as they pass a group of children, whispering:: CTO: See?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Approaches a larger house following behind Rag.  Looks at the house::

CMO_Biishe says:
CO:  Unfortunately that is true.  But since we can't reach her by telepathy either which can go further then most scan devices, we have to agree... and again, it is possible our ruse did not work and the Vulcan is blocking us somehow.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks at the children:: CNS: Yes, Counselor.  Curious....

CNS_Richardson says:
@::follows to the house, her attention returned to Rag::

Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Warbird: We'll be willing to discontinue our scans once we have left the Neutral Zone, Warbird. Until then I hope you will understand that we are well within our rights ... since we're not in your space yet.

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances around for an Engineer:: CEO: Mister Hull is it...?

Tsalea says:
::Stops and raises an eyebrow::  Shinar:  Selan?

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Rag> @ ::Walks up the stairs to the front door of the house::

CEO_Hull says:
::snaps to attention:: CO:  Yes Sir!

CNS_Richardson says:
@::follows::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Follows up the stairs leading to the front door of the house::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Shinar> ::Quite nervous ... this he was NOT expecting:: T'salea: Er ... uhm ... ::Gets right hand up in an attempt to make the V sign:: heya.

Tsalea says:
::Steps forward, glad to see an old friend, only to pause in confusion.::

Host CO_Madred says:
::grins:: CEO: At ease ... before you sprain something, Mister Hull. Find a way to use passive scans to hunt for the Counselor's signal. I'm not about to rely on Romulan scans alone to find her.

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: Current warp factor, Lieutenant?

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
# ::Considers requesting that High Command ignore Starfleet's request for entry::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Rag> @ ::Opens the front door, and motions for the two to follow::

CEO_Hull says:
CO:  ::grins::  Aye Sir, right away!

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: They are leading us through at Warp 4.7

Tsalea says:
::Lifts her hand in greeting::  Shinar:  Peace.  I was not aware you were assigned to this vessel.  Is everything alright?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Enters through the doorway of the house::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::catches Ryan's eye, and shrugs slightly, then enters::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Shinar> T'salea: I had a ... uh, transfer. Everything is fine, how have you been? ::Hopes she doesn't say anything about his outfit::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stops just inside, and looks around::

Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns and reopens the channel, punching a button on his armrest:: COM: Warbird: This is a matter of some urgency, Warbird. Any chance we could proceed at an increased pace?

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
ACTION: The interior of the Vulcan's house is quite elegant, with paintings, statues, etc. from various races here and there.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks around as she enters the foyer::

Host CO_Madred says:
::leans over the arm of his chair and gives the CMO a kiss on the cheek:: CMO: Incidentally, sorry I missed the wedding.

CEO_Hull says:
::Begins looking at his display console, looking at the ship's comm, sensor and deflector systems::

Tsalea says:
::Raises an eyebrow as various aspects of him take precedent over her pleasure in seeing an old fried::  Shinar:  Something is not... right.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Shinar> ::Gulps, thinking - "Things could be goin' awry ..."::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Notices the paintings and the statues and wonders who was the interior decorator::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Blushes, then grins::  CO:  I wish you could have been there.  Unfortunately, we were on the other side of the galaxy.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::looks around, frowning at the luxury around her::

Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles:: CMO: Any wife of Tealk’s is ... at least a really really good acquaintance of mine.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Rag> @ CTO & CNS: Wait right here for a moment, please. ::Enters into a nearby room::

Host CO_Madred says:
::rolls his eyes:: CMO: So I heard...

CMO_Biishe says:
::Smiles:: CO:  Hmmm... I don't remember mention of you being such a flatter.  I am glad to finally be able to meet you.  Did Tsalea and Larte come as well?

Host CO_Madred says:
CMO: ...that Tealk, always finds a new and interesting way to get married. Next thing you know he'll be renting out a Quadrant for your anniversary.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches as Rag exits the foyer into a room off to the side then approaches a statue sitting on a small table and inspects it::

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
# COM: PG: We will increase speed until we reach our space, at which point we will drop down to a slower speed.

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  Selan?  Is all well?

CEO_Hull says:
::Crosses the lateral sensor array with the navigational array::  Himself:  Perhaps crossing the two, sort of like an old style sonar...Yes, this might work!

CNS_Richardson says:
@::wanders around, examining some paintings on the wall::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Chuckles::  CO:  I doubt it...

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Shinar> T'salea: Couldn't be better ... and how is, uhm,  everyone else doing?

Host CO_Madred says:
::mutters under his breath at the FCO:: FCO: Hopefully not any slower than warp 4.7... COM: Warbird: Understood ... it's a shame, those Klingons are probably tearing through your space at warp 9. Sure would be nice to catch up with them.

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: It looks like the Vulcan has developed quite a taste for the finer things in life

Tsalea says:
::Steps up closely to look at him::  Shinar:  Selan, something is not correct here.

Host Cmdr_Jaxtrick says:
<Shinar> ::Stares back into her eyes::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Picks up the statue looking at the bottom of the base to see where it was made.  "Made in Hong Kong"  Thinks: Hmmm........::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances around the bridge for a Science Officer:: All: Do we have a blue shirt around?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Thrusts open the doors that Rag went through, now wearing classic Vulcan robing:: CNS & CTO: Ah, Tari & Sarina!

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::glances at the Captain:: CO: Apparently I'm occasionally considered to be one, Captain.

Tsalea says:
::Lifts a hand to him to pause, then steps back::  Shinar:  Shinar... why do you wear the form of Selan.  Where is Selan?  ::Her body senses::

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: If the quality of this statue is any indication, I do not agree.  ::Sets the statue back down on the table::

Host CO_Madred says:
::gets up from his chair and heads over towards the science console, leaning against it:: CSO: I don't suppose you know how to make Bolian Coffee Milk, do you?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Thinks - "Aw, crud":: T'salea: I'm not "wearing" anyone's body ...

CMO_Biishe says:
::Smiles at the CSO::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Turns quickly to see the Vulcan enter the foyer::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::eyebrow raises at the first name basis, but nods at the Vulcan:: Vulcan: You wished to see us?

Tsalea says:
::Very still::  Shinar:  Where is Selan?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: I'm a scientist, not a teas maid, sir.  ::goes back to her sensors::

Host CO_Madred says:
::flashes her a wicked smile:: CSO: Just teasing... ::looks down, and upside down, at the console in front of him:: CSO: What's the word on this transmitter?

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Well, we're here, now what do you want from us?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Smiles and gives the CNS a wink:: CNS: I can't think of anything better that I would do ...

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Rolls eyes:: T'salea: Probably off polishing his ears.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::rolls her eyes:: Vulcan: Cut the crap.

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  Then he is well?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Shrug:: T'salea: As far as I know ...

CEO_Hull says:
CSO:  I have tied in the lateral sensor array with the navigational array, perhaps crossing the two systems will create a good passive sensor scan for the Counselor's ship

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CNS: My, my, dear Ms. Richardson ... you are becoming quite vicious. Not enjoying yourself?

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  I will have it verified.  Why are you aboard this ship and why in the form of Selan?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> T'salea: I'm on this ship because I saved the lives of its senior crew, and they're ... repaying me.

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: Not particularly.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Filters through various reports coming through::

Host CO_Madred says:
CMO: Oh, Doc ... to answer your question ... Tsalea and Larte are getting quarters setup below decks. ::glances at the viewscreen:: CMO: I bet we have awhile before I'll need you up here. Why don't you go down and say hello? ::turns back to the CSO not waiting for a response::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: "Transmitter", sir.  Just teasing.  ::forces a sarcastic smile and returns to her work::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Shakes her head:: Vulcan, well, what do you want from us now?  And don't you know how to treat your guests?  Where do we get something to eat around here?

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: Why don't you just tell us what is going on here?

Tsalea says:
::Raises both eyebrows till they are no longer seen::  Shinar:  How... noble of you.  And are they aware of your past?  And what do you do aboard this vessel?

Host CO_Madred says:
::chuckles ... likes this van den Broek already:: CSO: Seriously ... I'd like to find our Counselor. Gotta get her back here so she can work on that superiority complex of yours.

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: I'll have something prepared for you immediately ... I actually called upon you to see if you were both interested in joining me for dinner.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Then ask the Engineering department.  They're the ones working on it.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::adjusts speeds  to match what the Warbird is doing::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Thinks - "That's enough":: T'salea:  Past, what past?

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Well, now you're talking.  I'm starved!  I can't think when I'm hungry.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Passes a report onto the captain::  CO:  Thank you.  I need to give them and you the mandatory physical.  I will take care of them first.

CEO_Hull says:
::stands at his console with his hands on his hips, listening to the conversation between the CSO and the CO::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Gestures for them to follow:: CTO & CNS: Then come along, dear ladies ... ::Begins walking around, intentionally trying to show off his humble abode::

Tsalea says:
::Stands still, looking deeply into Shinar's eyes waiting for the correct answer.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Who do all those children belong to that we saw outside?

Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns:: CSO: I would, but I am asking you ... Ensign.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::raises her eyebrow:, and stays where she is, watching the Vulcan strut around::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Matches the look, recalls when she was his slave & had a different look ... er, wrong reality, Shinar, wrong reality::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Follows the Vulcan around while he tries to show off his "elegant" furnishings.  Rolls her eyes at the CNS::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::tuts, sighs, and markedly leans to her right to look past Madred at Hull::  CEO: Sir, our new Captain wants me to relay a message from you as to the status of the transmitter.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the CSO and says nothing, turning to the TL.::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: Their parents, whom are as well residing here. CNS: Coming along, Tari, or do you wish to be left alone with Skyler? ::Gestures to Skyler who had been silently lurking in the shadows::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Steps out of the shadows, staring daggers at the CTO::

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  I require answers, not evasion.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::eyes Skyler:: Vulcan: Actually, I'd prefer neither.

Host CO_Madred says:
::grits his teeth and shakes his head:: CSO: Maybe we'll try for Cadet next time...

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Turns to see Skyler lurking::  Skyler: Turned into a peeping Tom too?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Heads for medical::

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: What I would prefer is an explanation of what this place is, and why we are here.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Smiles, pats her on the shoulder:: T'salea: Nice to see you haven't changed, T ... be seein' ya. ::Begins to walk off::

Host CO_Madred says:
::taps his hands on the edge of the CSO's console:: CSO: These are sensor arrays, yes? We scan with these, yes? Let's use them to find our missing crew, shall we?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Maybe you'll ask the right person for relevant information next time.  Captain.

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  Stop.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Grins psychotically:: CTO: Of course ... I'll peep at your inside soon enou --

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ Skyler: Skyler, that's quite enough.

Tsalea says:
*CO*:  Jafo, are you aware of Shinar being aboard this vessel?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Turns and takes a defensive stance facing Skyler:: Skyler: Anytime, anywhere.  Right here, right now?

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;puts a calming hand on Ryan’s arm:: CTO: Pay no attention to the Vulcan's little dog there...

Host CO_Madred says:
::turns away from the CSO, now that his pleasure at being back out in space has been quashed:: *Tsalea*: He is? How soon can I space him?

CEO_Hull says:
CSO:  Well, if you would tie into the lateral sensor array we might be able to pick something up

Tsalea says:
::Points to the yeomen to take Shinar in hand.::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Rolls eyes again:: T'salea: Listen, T, you're not my superior. I'm not some bumbling SF Ensign whom you can order around ...

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::smiles politely at Madred:: CSO: Already way ahead of you.  Looks like you weren't briefed as well as you'd hoped.  ::turns back to her work::  I've got the entire department heads on it.  Nothing yet, sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::shakes his head as he overhears::

Tsalea says:
*CO*: I am uncertain of the parameters for his being he and he is not being very cooperative.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Chuckles, and takes an offensive stance ... moving toward Ryan when suddenly he is telekinetically flung by the Vulcan against a wall::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CEO: Right.  ::ties into the lateral sensor array::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Skyler: You were never a good tactical officer.  Who did you pay to graduate you from the Academy?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Is taken by a Yeoman:: T'salea: What are you going to do? Throw me in the brig ... like they do every other day?

Host CO_Madred says:
::feels himself about to lose his famous patience streak:: CMO: Got a minute, Doctor?

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  As long as you are aboard this Starfleet vessel, you are under the same rules as an other individual.  So yes, I am.

CEO_Hull says:
CSO:  Increasing gain to the navigational array

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches as Skyler is flung against the wall, knowing she didn't do it she turns to the Vulcan::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Stops the TL doors from closing and walks back to the captain::  CO: Sir?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO & CNS: Skyler will not harm you. However, I would not antagonize him ... his ... mind isn't altogether there.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::watches, considering, from Skyler to the Vulcan, and back again::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: uhm, might want to look under file zero delta nine Charlie, I think it has the file on his being placed aboard the ship, sir

Host CO_Madred says:
::points at his ready room door:: CMO: Got a minute?

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  No, I require answers.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods and heads for the RR::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> T'salea: Answers which I don't have. ::Smile::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CEO: Compensating.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Entering Romulan Space

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: Oh, it seems you have him well in hand. Now, you were about to explain what's going on here?

Host CO_Madred says:
::follows the Doctor into the Ready Room:: FCO: Steady as she goes, Lieutenant. You have the bridge...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye , Sir

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: He's nothing!  I've taken on bigger customers in my time.  ::Glares at Skyler::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: Reduce speed, Paula Greene. Cease all passive scans or you will be returned to Federation space.

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  Explain.  ::nods to the yeomen to continue to their quarters.::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: Aye

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: I'll keep that in mind the next time he's about to kill you ... ::Begins walking to the dining room::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Stands aside and looks curiously at the captain.::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: May we keep the passive scans needed for navigation ? Such as to locate you?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> T'salea: There is nothin' to explain ... I'm here as per SF's request ... deal with it.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Yeah, right.  ::Follows the Vulcan into the dining room::

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  I am, by asking you, not another, why you are here and in what capacity.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick>  # COM: PG: That is permitted. I was referring to any scans which you may attempt to gather additional data on our space.

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances around the interior of the Ready Room, curious about all the Vulcan artifacts left by the former occupant:: CMO: So tell me about Miss van den Broek, she certainly seems to have a burr up her arse.

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;decides it might be better to follow along, though she takes her time about following the Vulcan into the dining room, stopping to "admire" items of decor as she makes her way::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Remains behind, catching his breath::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: Aye, we shall comply

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Mocking T'salea:: T'salea: And I am, by answering you, not another, saying nothing in regard to why I am here and in what capacity.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Is your "pet" going to join us or is he eating out of a dish on the floor of the kitchen?  ::Nods back towards Skyler::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::thinks the Romulan a bit of a fool as the navi data includes many things::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CEO: Still nothing.  Is there anything else you can think of?

CEO_Hull says:
FCO:  With the navigational array being our main source, we should get by with this

CMO_Biishe says:
::Sighs::  CO:  Our CSO has not been happy since she took the role of Chief.  But I think her attitude goes back to our previous captain.  She has not been forth coming with information.  Before the... changes, she was a really nice and responsive individual... now...  ::Shrugs:: The counselor and I have tried to work with her.  Tari still is.

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: Ms. Ryan, please. ::As they enter the even more elegant dining hall where a long table with various alien foods has been placed::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CEO: I know

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;finally joins the Vulcan and Ryan::

Host CO_Madred says:
::picks up a model of a small Vulcan space ship and blows out a breath, brushing some dust off it:: CMO: I understand she previously served as a Medical Officer? Perhaps she'd be happier back in sickbay?

Tsalea says:
::Enters her quarters and motions to the couch::  Shinar:  You have told me little.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CEO: That is why you all had selected those frequencies, was it not?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Remains standing:: T'salea: Be glad with what you've got.

CMO_Biishe says:
CO:  I believe she would... but you would have to ask her that.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks at the lavish spread set before her on the dining table::

CEO_Hull says:
CSO:  We are dealing with subspace here, perhaps shunting the ODN line through the main computer core, the entire ODN and computer is operating within subspace.......What do you think?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Takes a seat at the head of the table:: CTO & CNS: Take a seat, we can discuss things over dinner.

Tsalea says:
Shinar:  I have nothing beyond the fact you are wearing the appearance of Selan and you are on this ship because you saved the command crew.  That tells me nothing.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CEO: It's worth a try.  Whatever you say. You're the expert, sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
::shakes his head:: CMO: I don't want her bad attitude cluttering up my bridge ... I've got enough things to worry about out there.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CEO: What of radiometric interference?

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: The Warbird comes to a halt, waiting for the PG to do so as well.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::comes to a halt::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::glances at the food, and takes a seat, turning her attention to the Vulcan::

Host CO_Madred says:
::waves his hands at the CMO:: CMO: Forget it, Doc... ::sighs:: CMO: Get back out there and send her in here.

CEO_Hull says:
FCO:  The Navigational array filters that out, otherwise we could fly right through a star at warp

CMO_Biishe says:
CO:  Her attitude...  Would you like me to ask her?...  ::Stops and nods::  aye sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Grabs the back of a chair and pulls it out, sitting down then scooting it back in towards the table.  Takes the napkin and places it on her lap::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> T'salea: No doubt our goody-two shoes crew wrote something 'bout it ... look it up T-baby, I'm off. ::Waves and turns to leave::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Heads back out to the bridge and over to the CSO, quietly::  CSO:  The captain would like to speak with you in his RR.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: All right, we're here, now what is it you want from us?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: Paula Greene, based on your earlier data, where do you believe that the Klingon vessel in question may have been heading?

Host CO_Madred says:
::waits in his ready room and examines a few other artifacts around the ready room ... finds a Vulcan book and starts reading::

Tsalea says:
::Looks at the Yeomen who is standing in front of the door::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Takes a bite out of an Andorian fruit:: CTO: I want you to live, you have a problem with this?

CEO_Hull says:
::reroutes the lateral sensor array directly through the ship's ODN and right into the ship's computer core::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: We have extrapolated it to be a point some Light years past your sectors of space

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CMO: But I thought he wanted me busy with the sensors.  You were here when he oh-so-politely condescended me into going back to what I was already doing.

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;sits back, listening, studying the Vulcan as he talks::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Comes face to face with the yeoman:: T'salea: You can't legally hold me here. You're violating regulations, I'm not a SF officer, I'm a civilian ... I have rights. As I have not committed any crimes, you can't do anything to me ...

CMO_Biishe says:
CSO:  Please... this is a new captain.  Try to see him in that light.  From what my husband has told me, he is very different from our previous captain.  You might like him.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # ::Surprised:: COM: PG: Outside  Romulan space?

Host CO_Madred says:
::wanders over towards the replicator and orders a drink for himself::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: Aye, sir, but we had to transit your space to get there

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::glances at Biishe::  CMO:  Yes, sir.  ::pushes herself into walking to the Ready Room::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM:  PG: Our Command was informed by your command that it was felt that the Klingon vessel was going to make a possible strike in OUR space ...

Tsalea says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  Shinar:  You have much to learn.  However, if you wish me to learn of things second hand, so be it.  ::Nods to the yeomen to step aside.::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Shinar> ::Nods:: T'salea: Uh huh. Later. ::Exits, and vanishes d own the corridor::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::rings the chime::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: We believe that as well, but their ultimate goal is past your sectors, I will send you a data file if you are willing to receive?

Host CO_Madred says:
::from behind the book:: Chime: Come!

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: FCO: Yes, please send.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks to a platter with something moving on it and grimaces::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::enters and stands in front of the desk, awaiting her punishment::  CO: Captain?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: On it way ::keys transmit ::

Tsalea says:
Stuart:  I require all the information you can attain about Shinar.  I wish the records pulled from this ship as well as Starfleet command.

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO & CNS: Certainly you have more questions ... such as why Skyler? How this all came to be? How you fit in?

Host CO_Madred says:
::reads from the book:: CSO: The Vulcan teacher, Surak, was the first to support a belief in infinite diversity in infinite combinations. Kinda an interesting philosophy ... a lot like 'seeking new life and new civilizations' ... if you think about it. Have a seat Ensign.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Stands behind the captains chair and looks out the view screen::  FCO:  Not the greatest of starts.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Well, that's what we've been asking you since we got here isn't it?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::sits down:: CO: I don't quite follow  ::still very guarded::

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: I'm sure you'll cover that when you tell us what's going on here; we've asked; we're waiting ::smiles nicely::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::ignores the food on the table, still watching the Vulcan::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at his cup of Bolian Coffee Milk:: CSO: Nothing to follow. Just a train of thought. ::blows on his hot coffee milk:: I just made myself a drink, could I get you anything?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CSO: No.  ::folds her arms:: Bolian Coffee Milk, I take it?

Tsalea says:
<Larte> Tsalea:  He would make a good snack for Ya'li.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods and closes the book, setting it down on a table:: CSO: Actually, yes ... it's an acquired taste. My wife got me started on it. ::sits behind his desk:: CSO: I'm not much for Vulcans and there philosophies, myself ... I guess they got their revenge though, I married one.

Tsalea says:
::Lifts an eyebrow::  Larte:  It would be wise not to make such a suggestion out or you will have people upset with Ya'li.  We will need to set a room up just for him.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: You and me both, then.  ::looks around the room, this is her first time in the ready Room::

Host CO_Madred says:
::takes a sip of his coffee milk before setting it on the table:: CSO: Do you prefer Miss or Mrs. ... or the generic Mister?

Tsalea says:
::Checks out the place with Larte pointing things out.::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::looks back at Madred:: CSO: Actually it's Mrs.  Mrs. Audrina Roodenburg, last time I checked.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: No , It is not, but it is hard coming aboard this way

Host CO_Madred says:
::puts his feet up on the edge of the desk and looks across its top to the Ensign:: CSO: I understand 'Doctor' is also in there somewhere?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Smiles:: Both: Well, to start ... I chose Skyler because I felt it was a waste to let him die. Following my newly found freedom, I had been trailing your ship ... seeing what you would get up to, and as well if you would use your abilities.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Apparently.

CMO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Is there ever an easy way?  Unless it is a new ship.  ::A worried look in her eye::  I keep thinking I should have gone, though I could not argue the fact that I am not a good liar.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Why is it my "abilities" just surfaced now?  Why was I not aware of them before this?

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CSO: But you prefer Mrs...?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::listens:: Vulcan: And I've used mine before this.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: I overheard him talking of our "guest" I think that was a shock

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Until the divorce comes through, yes.  While the noose is round my neck, I might as well jump off the horse.

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: It takes time getting used to, adjusting to use them ... I felt that by stressing you to the point of extreme desperation may bring them out, and so it did.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: And how do I get rid of them?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Brings her mind back from Tari::  FCO:  Yea, that was interesting.  Seems they know him.  I wonder what story is behind all of that.

Host CO_Madred says:
::chuckles:: CSO: I see ... 'fraid that noose is tied tightly around mine. Wouldn't trade my wife for all the latinum on Ferenginar.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: I have no idea, I tried to tell of the file that held the orders placing him aboard though ::sighs::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Lucky you.  ::the look on her face goes from one of stony defiance to slight wistfulness::

Host CO_Madred says:
::off-handedly:: CSO: ...she has a pet alligator, you know? Ya'li ... or some darn name like that.

CMO_Biishe says:
CMO:  Perhaps we might find out more later.

CEO_Hull says:
::makes continuous adjustments to his makeshift subspace comm system::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Is there a point to this, Captain?  ::cocks her head::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ Both: That is why I saved Skyler from the brink of death. He never actually vaporized in the explosion of the shuttle, I got him out in time. ::Prideful look:: Messing around with his mind to make him think that you were responsible for his "death" was easy ... finding the genetic engineering to make him a super human was hard.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: I am sure in time he will learn all that has happened and will have more time to deal with things... this ship is a bit , uhm , unconventional

Host CO_Madred says:
::gives her the "I'm getting there" look and holds up his hands showing it to her:: CSO: Darn thing has taken a few chunks out of the hand that feeds it from time to time too.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: We have reviewed the data at hand. If this "Alpha" wishes to learn from the universe via war ... then perhaps he may be planning an assault on Romulus by using Klingon weapons, don't you think?

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: So he's been reduced to a Zombie and now you want us to join the Zombie patrol?  Great....

CNS_Richardson says:
@::frowns slightly, as she considers the words::

Tsalea says:
Larte:  This will be your room.  For now Ya'li will have the other one... unless your father is willing to give the master bedroom to the two of you.

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: So, what's in this for you?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: I'm sure Doctor Biishe would be able to do some regenerative surgery on that for you.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Chuckles::  FCO:  Unconventional?  Naaa... we are merely Starfleet.  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Madred says:
CSO: But, as a Doctor, you know that a dermal regenerator over the wound a few times will do wonders for even the worst bites. ::takes another sip of his coffee:: CSO: Too bad they don't make a dermal regenerator for attitudes ... cause you seem like yours could use one.

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: I mean, why do this?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CNS: I care very much for the universe, Counselor ...

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CNS: ... and especially for the Federation. This is why I do th is.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Taylayock: Captain, I am sure that anything is possible, and we of the Federation would not like to see it come to that. I am sure you would like our co-operation in our mutual best interests , if it came to that, unofficially , of course

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::raises her eyebrows::  CO: Oh?
