Host Shann says:
<<<Beginning mission summary>>>

Host Shann says:
Currently the Andromeda is at a draw with ship of Lord Windsor. He is the father of the young boy the Andy has rescued and husband to a young woman named Allana.  At the moment Baron Campbell is negotiating the retrieval of the child to his father.

Host Shann says:
Meanwhile the Andromeda's new XO and EO are en route to joint them.

Host Shann says:
Mysteriously the ship is being plagued with a rash of zappings and other minor electrical nuisances.  The engineering staff has not been able to identify a cause

Host Shann says:

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Wanders around Sickbay absently fingering her bat'leth, in protection mode for the mother and her child::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Punching some blinky lights on his console, thinking about listening in on the conversation in the ready room::

XO_Miller says:
@EO: Well Martin, we have the Andromeda on sensors.  We'll be there shortly.

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: If you don't tell us what happened and who did this to you then how are we supposed to help you? You will have to cooperate a little bit if you want our help.

CTO_Senek says:
::Stands behind Baron Campbell in CO's ready room::

CO_Kalla says:
::Sitting in RR with Baron Campbell.::

CEO_Martin says:
::Standing by OPS' console running some scans on it to try and figure out what the heck is causing all those zaps and shocks::

FCO_Durron says:
::Waiting for the CEO to look over his chair::

CSO_Sketek says:
::At science station::

CO_Kalla says:
CTO: I do not believe there is any risk in here at present. You had better go out and make sure all systems are ready for any eventualities.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Pulls up the power flow charts to see if there's anything unusual::

EO_Briaire says:
@ ::Nods to the XO::  XO: Understood...we should be there in a few minutes...

CTO_Senek says:
CO: As you wish.

FCO_Durron says:
CEO: You may want to scan my chair.  It just zapped me.

CTO_Senek says:
::Leaves the RR and takes the tactical console::

Host Baron says:
ACTION: The shuttle nova suddenly appears almost on top of the Andy and lord Windsor's ship

CO_Kalla says:
Baron: I know you say the child will receive the best possible upbringing, but why cannot the mother participate in that?

XO_Miller says:
@COM: Andromeda:  Andromeda, this is Cmdr. Miller from the shuttlecraft Nova, requesting permission to dock.

CEO_Martin says:
FCO: Yes I know Mr. Durron, I'll be there in a second, I just have to finish scanning this console...

CTO_Senek says:
::Scans the shuttle::

FCO_Durron says:
CEO: Ok sir.

OPS_Rogers says:
COMM: XO: This is the Andromeda. Please hold for authorization.

XO_Miller says:
@EO:  Looks like we're interrupting their company.

EO_Briaire says:
@ ::Frowns at the navigational readings::   Self: Ack...first mistake..

XO_Miller says:
@COM: Andromeda:  Understood.

OPS_Rogers says:
*CO* Captain, the new XO and EO are requesting permission to dock.

Host Baron says:
ACTION:  The lords ship is threatened by the shuttle and possible more ships jumps with shields up and weapons charged.

CO_Kalla says:
*OPS* Please give it to them, and ask them to report to the bridge.

XO_Miller says:
@::Notices all the shields go up::  EO:  I don't think they were expecting us.

OPS_Rogers says:
*CO* Aye captain.

Host Baron says:
ACTION:  The Lord hails the Andy

OPS_Rogers says:
COMM: XO: Permission granted. When you arrive, please report to the bridge.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> CNS: Just keep my baby safe:

EO_Briaire says:
@XO: Apparently, Sir......not the welcome I'd expected...  ::Tries to smile a bit::

OPS_Rogers says:
COMM: Lord: This is the Andromeda. How may we be of assistance?

XO_Miller says:
@COM:  Andromeda:  Understood.

CEO_Martin says:
::Finishes her scans of the OPS console and goes over to the FCO's chair::

CO_Kalla says:
Baron: I know you say the child will receive the best possible upbringing, but why cannot the mother participate in that?

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: We will do that. You don't have to worry. Nobody is going to take him away. ::smiles reassuringly:: Now, I gather Lord Windsor is the father of the baby?

Host Baron says:
<Lord> COMM:  Andy:  What are you trying to do!  You said you were going to stay neutral!

XO_Miller says:
@EO:  I guess this is what they call making an entrance!

OPS_Rogers says:
COMM: Lord: I'm sorry if the shuttle surprised you. That is just a couple of new crewmembers.

Host Baron says:
CO:  it isn't' her place. The boy has people who can care for him better than she can.

EO_Briaire says:
@::Grins::  XO: I guess it is....

Host Baron says:
OPS: So you say.. I want my son back NOW!

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> CNS: The Baron is his father, and he wants to keep him and get rid of me:

XO_Miller says:
@::Brings the shuttle into the docking bay::

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: Does he have any legal means to do so?

EO_Briaire says:
@::Checks their current flight path, just curious::

OPS_Rogers says:
COMM: Lord: The captain and the representative are discussing that at the moment. Please stay calm.

CTO_Senek says:
*CO* Windsor's ship is charging its weapons.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana>CNS: On my world no, on his world yes:

Host Baron says:
ACTION:  On sensors come 3 more ships equal to power to the Andy it is now 4 to 1 against Andy.

CTO_Senek says:
::Confirms that the shields are raised::

CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Three more ships on SRS.

CO_Kalla says:
::Looks at her monitors.:: Baron: Well it seems that we are in contact with your ship at present. Let us go and see. ::Gets up.:: *CTO* On my way.

Host Baron says:
::Stands::

CO_Kalla says:
::Opens door to bridge.:: CTO: Red alert!

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: Did you know about these differences on your 2 planets?

CTO_Senek says:
::Raises red alert::

Host Baron says:
ACTION: The ship goes to red alert

CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Are we in contact with the lord's ship?

CEO_Martin says:
::Finishes her scan of the FCO's chair:: FCO: I think you can sit down again, I haven't found anything unusual though...OPS/FCO: tell me if either of you get any more shocks

XO_Miller says:
::Powers down the shuttle and hears the klaxons from the Red Alert::  EO:  Well, looks like we should get to the bridge...and fast.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana>CNS: NO NO NO, I was told we would raise him together

OPS_Rogers says:
CEO: Ok. Thanks.

FCO_Durron says:
CEO: Thank you

Host Baron says:
ACTION: All 4 ships weapons are trained on the Andy.

CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Are we in contact with the lord's ship?

EO_Briaire says:
::Listens to the red claxon::  XO: I fully agree with you on that, Sir...  ::Follows the XO out of the shuttle bay::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: They are targeting us. We are no match to them.

FCO_Durron says:
::Sits down and prepares for evasive action::

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: Just to make this clear: no one ever talked to you about this?

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Yes, captain. The Lord is agitated. I believe that the arrival of the shuttle set this off.

CEO_Martin says:
::Heads to the TL:: OPS: I'll be in engineering ::steps on the TL, and requests it o go to engineering::

CO_Kalla says:
::Stands in front of the view screen.:: OPS: On screen, please.

XO_Miller says:
::Heads to the TL with the EO and requests the bridge::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Hears the red alert and begins to monitor the bridge::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Aye. ::Puts the signal on screen::

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: What is the meaning of this?

EO_Briaire says:
::A bit impatiently standing in the TL with the XO, waiting for it to open it's doors and show the bridge of the Andromeda for the first time::

XO_Miller says:
EO:  I didn't think our arrival would start an inter-planetary incident!

OPS_Rogers says:
::Keeps an eye on the CO::

CEO_Martin says:
::Gets out of the TL at engineering and goes to input the latest data on the shockings into the computer::

CO_Kalla says:
::Turns to CTO.:: CTO: Our chances in a battle scenario?

EO_Briaire says:
XO: Same here and we may even get fireworks on our arrival...although I don't hope this will come that far..

Host Windsor says:
COMM Kalla:  You brought in another ship and you have yet to return my son. Do as you wish with the women send him back with the Baron

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Our chances of defeating them are very small, as they outnumber us by 4.

XO_Miller says:
EO:  Let's hope it doesn't.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: As I see it, we have two advantages: Windsor's son and Baron Campbell.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: These worlds are not members of UFP but we are near enough Federation to make a quick escape. That's my opinion.

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: The extra vessel that arrived contained two people, as I am sure your scanners could see, and no significant weaponry.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana>CNS: NO NO they never told me any such thing I would never have agreed.

XO_Miller says:
::The TL doors open and the XO and EO step out onto the bridge::

CO_Kalla says:
*CNS* Could Allana take a confrontation with the Lord?

EO_Briaire says:
::Follows the XO onto the bridge, looking at the view screen and wondering what he got himself into::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: I believe that we should have a security team protect Windsor's son in case we are boarded.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Checks the ship classes to see if the Andy can outrun the other ships::

XO_Miller says:
::Stays in the background, listening to what is going on::

CEO_Martin says:
::Sits at her console in her little office in engineering going over the various reports of the zappings all over the ship trying to piece this whole puzzle together::

CO_Kalla says:
CTO: I believe CMO has taken due security precautions, but please coordinate with her.

CNS_Shania says:
*CO* She calmed down. I guess we can try that. But let me ask her first.

Host Windsor says:
COMM Kalla:  You have a choice. Either you return the baron, and my son voluntarily or I will  disable the ship and have them taken. Your choice captain. What is your choice the lives of your crew or the life of one small child?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Calls in a second team to handle medical, and remains on alert for protection of Allana and the baby::

EO_Briaire says:
::Takes position next to the XO, completely in the dark what to do next::

XO_Miller says:
::Walks over to the CSO and whispers::  CSO:  What is going on?

Host Windsor says:
ACTION:  The console near the XO and EO zap them both in the backside.

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: Do you think you could face Lord Windsor? Of course other people would be around if you want them to be.

CTO_Senek says:
*CMO* I will send a security team to protect the mother and her child. Do you have any objections?

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: I am not going to bargain on these terms. But let me remind you that the one life is your son.

XO_Miller says:
::Jumps from the shock while grabbing his back::

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: We are facing four hostile vessels.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CTO*: No, I welcome them:

CO_Kalla says:
*CNS* Did Allana know she would not be able to raise her son?

EO_Briaire says:
::Feels a nasty shock going down his spine::  Self: I think these consoles need some work...  ::Rubs his back::

XO_Miller says:
EO:  How about taking a look at this.  ::Motions him over to the console::

CTO_Senek says:
::Sends a security team to the sickbay to guard the mother and the baby::

CNS_Shania says:
*CO* No Ma'am she did not. Looks like she was tricked into this.

XO_Miller says:
CSO:  What is it they want?

CTO_Senek says:
*CMO* They're on their way.

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: The Baron wants his son.

EO_Briaire says:
::Turns around, facing the "guilty" console::  XO: Let's see...

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: Why was Allana not informed that she would be separated from her child after birth?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CTO*: Aye, Thank you, Ravenprowler out.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CO*: Permission to relinquish the patient into the care of the Security teams.

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: It seems to me that part of the reason for the marriage between you and Allana must have been for the two planets to approach one another.

XO_Miller says:
CSO:  Are you going to fill me in the rest of the way, or shall we play a game of 20 questions?

Host Windsor says:
COMM:  Andy:  Captain my son will be cared for but you have my son. Your final decision your crews lives, or just give me my son back.

CO_Kalla says:
*CMO* If you feel it is medically sound, do so.

EO_Briaire says:
::Taps a few buttons to bring up the console power outage logs::  XO: May have been a local discharge of some kind....

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: I'm rather busy now.

FCO_Durron says:
::Begins studying the available data to attempt to figure out the least expectable evasive maneuvers::

XO_Miller says:
EO:  Can you isolate and fix it?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CO* Aye, My Captain, Ravenprowler out.

Host Windsor says:
ACTION:  On the console screen young female girls wink at them and then disappear.

EO_Briaire says:
XO: I think so...

CEO_Martin says:
::Takes a read out of the power flows and energy readings from the computer of the bridge::

CNS_Shania says:
<Allana> CNS: I guess so but I don't want to be alone with him! You need to be there at least.

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: reconsider your opinion on this matter. If you want your two worlds to get a better relationship, this is not the way.

EO_Briaire says:
::Blinks at the young female:: XO: Umm...well....that shouldn't be there...

CNS_Shania says:
*CO* Allana says she could handle a meeting but she doesn't want to be alone with the Lord.

XO_Miller says:
::Gets agitated by the CSO's tone::  CSO:  Lt., I asked you a question, and I expect and answer.

Host Windsor says:
COMM: Andy: The boy is the answer not the mother.

CO_Kalla says:
*CNS* Then bring her up here, please. It is only for a conference via view screen.

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: Of course, no problem ::Smiles::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Watches the screen and the captain::

CEO_Martin says:
::Thinks about the shockings...and remembers vaguely at incident of the holo-girl that Tigs created to play a joke on Vaughn::

CO_Kalla says:
*CNS* and bring the boy too.

CO_Kalla says:
::Thinks.::

CNS_Shania says:
*CO* Aye Captain, on my way.

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: The lord baron here has a son that is now with his mother on this ship. The father and mother can't agree on the terms of custody.

EO_Briaire says:
::Notices the lack of response of the XO and bans the image from his mind as an illusion::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CNS: the baby should stay here, he is safe here.

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: We will be right back. ::Turns to OPS, leads hand across throat.::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Mutes the signal::

CTO_Senek says:
::Analyzes Windsor's ship's shields, power distribution systems and weapons to find some minor design flaws::

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: Well, then now is the time. We need to go to the bridge however. It is only going to be via view screen.

XO_Miller says:
::Turns to the EO::  EO:  My apologies....say that again.

CNS_Shania says:
CMO: The Captain wants the boy to be there. And I don't think Allana gives him away right now.

CO_Kalla says:
::Turns to XO and EO:: XO, EO: Gentlemen, welcome on board. I apologize for having ignored you.

Host Windsor says:
ACTION:  The ships are equal to the Andy in all respects.

XO_Miller says:
CSO:  Thank you Lt.

EO_Briaire says:
::Hears the Captain's voice towards them and turns to face her::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CNS: I believe it unwise to take him to the bridge.:

XO_Miller says:
CO:  No apologies necessary Captain.  You seem to have your hands full.

CNS_Shania says:
CMO: It's not my decision Doc. ::Leaves SB with Allana and the boy and goes to the bridge::

EO_Briaire says:
CO: I guess we caught you at a bad time, Captain.  ::Smiles faintly::

CO_Kalla says:
XO: Yes there is a bit to do.

Host Windsor says:
ACTION: soon and the mute is hit the Windsor led ship lets loose with a shot near the Andy's bow, shaking the ship

CEO_Martin says:
::Scans the ship for any trace of a whacked hologram::

CO_Kalla says:
EO: I am sure our CEO can find work for you.

Host Windsor says:
COMM: Andy:  That was a warning shot....

OPS_Rogers says:
::Rumbles in his chair::

XO_Miller says:
::Grabs hold of a console::  CO:  Looks like they mean business.

CO_Kalla says:
XO: I would appreciate if you would start work by.... ::Feels the shake.:: coordinating with OPS and CTO.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Stands firm as the ship rocks ::

EO_Briaire says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.... then with your permission I will report to the CEO in...  ::thinks or a moment:: where ever she is... in main engineering I guess...

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Heads for her office and hangs her bat'leth on the wall ::

CO_Kalla says:
EO: Yes in Main Engineering.

CNS_Shania says:
::Arrives on the bridge with Allana:: CO: Here she is. ::Leads Allana towards the CO::

CO_Kalla says:
XO: Yes, so do I.

XO_Miller says:
CO:  Understood Captain.

CO_Kalla says:
CNS: Excellent. Allana. Welcome here.

CEO_Martin says:
::Is sitting in her office still trying to find traces of the holo-girl known as Marie::

CO_Kalla says:
Allana: This may not be pleasant, but I believe it could work to get a satisfactory solution.

CO_Kalla says:
OPS: On screen again.

CNS_Shania says:
::Stands next to Allana::

CTO_Senek says:
*CEO* Have damage control teams stand by in case we have no other option but to fight.

EO_Briaire says:
::Takes the Captain's lack of response as a "yes" as heads into the TL::  TL: Main Engineering

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Aye captain. ::Puts the signal on screen::

XO_Miller says:
::Walks over toward the CTO::  CTO:  What are we up against?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> ::Nods weakly at the CO and holds her baby close::

Host Windsor says:
ACTION: Due to no response the Windsor fires on the Andy's engines

CEO_Martin says:
*CTO* Okay, I'll get them ready right away...

Host Windsor says:
ACTION:  Marie again shows her face trying to get attention

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: Well. So far you have failed to impress me with your fire. So how about talking for a bit.

CTO_Senek says:
XO: Four ships, which match the Andromeda in speed and firepower.

EO_Briaire says:
::Mumbles a Betazed song as the TL heads down to main engineering::

XO_Miller says:
CTO:  I take it their not to enthusiastic about negotiating?

Host Windsor says:
ACTION:  The shields are holding barely

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: The way I see it. I can sit here and take your fire or I can fly this ship to Federation space.

CTO_Senek says:
XO: That is correct. They sent Baron Campbell to negotiate, but their Lord seems impatient.

CO_Kalla says:
FCO: How far to nearest UFP border?

CTO_Senek says:
All: Our shields are holding.

Host Windsor says:
COMM: Then give me my son and I will leave you alone.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Starts to think that it would be best to just give them what they want::

XO_Miller says:
CTO:  I would have to say that I can't blame him.  If someone had my child, I'd be a little impatient as well.  What are our options?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> ::Hides behind the Captain::

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: ::Points to Allana and the baby.:: The way I see it. The child feels best with her mother. Don't you want the best for your child?

CTO_Senek says:
XO: Our options seem to be limited to defeat or escape.

CNS_Shania says:
Allana: It is ok. He can't harm you.

EO_Briaire says:
::As the TL doors open he stops him mumbling and walks into main engineering, staring around, looking for the CEO::

XO_Miller says:
CTO:  Defeat is not a term in my vocabulary.  Let's see if there are any other possible options.  Oh, and just why are we holding onto his child?

Host Windsor says:
COM: ANDY:  What is best for my child is with me.  Give my son to me and this conflict will be over He will get all the love and care he will need give him to me

CEO_Martin says:
::Is in her little office, which isn't very noticeable, once again going over the problem of the zaps and shocks::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Exits her office and sets for incoming injuries and or casualties ::

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: Because I believe Allana here wants the best for your son. You can have no one better to look after him if you are not always there. I am sure you are a busy man, my lord.

CTO_Senek says:
XO: The child would be raised up by the father alone, and the mother would be left to survive on her own.

CTO_Senek says:
XO: The mother had been pursued for some time when we took them aboard.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: We are 10 Light Years from the nearest UFP border.

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: I do not doubt that you will give him all the love you have. So will Allana, what is wrong with two person's love?

Host Windsor says:
COMM: ANDY:  The women can go home or where ever I don't' care. My son has myself, his nanny and everyone he doesn't' need her now send her back or I will fire again

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: Surely a nanny cannot replace a mother?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana>::Whimpers and hides::

XO_Miller says:
CTO:  Excuse all my questioning...but why is the Andromeda involved with this?

OPS_Rogers says:
::Thinking::

EO_Briaire says:
Self: Where could she be..??  ::In a stroke of genius he heads for the CEO's office::  Self: Where else can she be...

CNS_Shania says:
::Tries to calm Allana down::

Host Windsor says:
COMM: Andy:   If you ask the woman all of us her included was raised by a nanny

CTO_Senek says:
XO: We took the mother aboard, as we had no knowledge about her being pursued. She was in very bad condition and her shuttle's life support systems were barely functioning.

CEO_Martin says:
::Reading over a padd, and still hasn't gotten an answer to the Marie problem yet...::

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: So because all of you were raised that way you would not dare try something new - and better - for your son. Be the great man who renews a tradition?

Host Windsor says:
COMM: ANDY: Give me my SON!! ::Speaks slowly and  distinctly::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> Captain please I beg you, I implore you for the sake of my son, I request asylum.

CTO_Senek says:
XO: And as you can see, the negotiations are getting nowhere.

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: Well, frankly, Lord Windsor. I will give you your son with his mother or not at all. We will grant them asylum and fly to UFP space unless things start happening here.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Captain, may I make a suggestion?

CO_Kalla says:
::Turns around:: FCO: Lay in a course for Federation territory.::

XO_Miller says:
CTO:  Yes, I see.  And that's unfortunate.

CO_Kalla says:
Allana: I will fly you to Federation territory if you really believe that is the best for your child.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye sir! ::Lays in a course and awaits further orders::

CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Go ahead, Mr. Rogers.

CEO_Martin says:
::Looks up to see the new EO:: EO: Ah hello there, you must be the new engineering officer, nice to meet you...

Host Windsor says:
COMM: Andy:  What would it take from me to get my son back?  What will I have to do? Take that woman back?

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: Take her back as the mother of your child.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Turns off the microphone on the communications so the Windsor guy can't hear them:: Perhaps we can tell them that we're going to give the child back and when they lower their shields we can disable the engines with our weapons and warp out of here.

CNS_Shania says:
CO: Umm, Captain? The man had her beat up. I don't think she wants to go back to him.

EO_Briaire says:
::Smiles at the CEO::  CEO: Nice to meet you too, Ma'am..  ::Extends his hand::

CO_Kalla says:
OPS: It is a plan - at least a last resort.

CSO_Sketek says:
OPS: I have to remind you that we could do that just to one ship. They are four ships.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Turns the microphone back on::

Host Windsor says:
COMM: Andy:  I will gladly  take the women back.  Lower your shields and we will transport her over.

EO_Briaire says:
CEO: Ensign Alec Briaire at your service...

CEO_Martin says:
::Looks at the hand, and smiles slightly, and shakes it:: EO: Alec Briaire is it? Well, welcome aboard

XO_Miller says:
::Whispers::  CO:  It doesn't look like he is giving you much choice.

CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Mute.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Types a message to the CSO to send to his console to keep it from being heard:: <message> CSO: If we do it quickly enough, we can get out of her before they know what's going on.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Mutes the signal::

CO_Kalla says:
Allana: Do you think there is any chance that he will treat you with respect?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> ::Cowers on the floor, cradling her baby, weeping in fear::

CO_Kalla says:
CTO, XO: Recommendations.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana>: NO NO NO Captain, if I am sent back he will kill me:

EO_Briaire says:
CEO: I think the XO and I arrived at a worst possible timing here.... with those four ships out there....firing on us from time to time as it appears...

CNS_Shania says:
::Kneels down next to Allana:: Allana: It's ok.

CO_Kalla says:
::At this point it really dawns on Kalla, who has not seen Allana before, how scared she really is.::

XO_Miller says:
::Whispers again::  CO:  Might I remind you of the Prime Directive.  It is not our place to be making this decision for the child.

CEO_Martin says:
::Hums :: EO: yes, not exactly the greatest welcoming committee is it?

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: We have already discussed of the prime directive. I don't think it's applying in this case.

CNS_Shania says:
::looks up at the XO:: XO: She requested asylum.

CO_Kalla says:
CO: No but surely, the mother can make that decision. Look at her. It would hardly be logical to force her back.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Pacing restlessly around Sickbay wanting to KILL the baron for his cruelty to Allana::

XO_Miller says:
::turns to the CSO::  CSO:  Oh you have?  And why is that?

XO_Miller says:
CO:  The mother is one thing, but the child.... well that is another story.  After all, it is his child as well.

CO_Kalla says:
::Bends down.:: Allana: Is there any possibility that your son would be better off with the father?

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: The purpose of the prime directive is to prevent Federation from intervening with things that aren't its concern. Because the Federation is already involved, there's no way back.

EO_Briaire says:
CEO: I guess, but what do I know...this is my first assignment.. ::Smiles again::  And I hoped that it wouldn't be celebrated with fireworks...

CO_Kalla says:
CTO: What are our chances?

XO_Miller says:
CSO:  And you don't consider this intervening?

OPS_Rogers says:
::Pulls the laws of the planets up to see if there's any way to bend their meanings to serve the purposes of this::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> Captain, I cannot say, I just want my baby ::Whimpers::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: If you mean our chances in combat, they are very small. We might be able to escape them though.

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: After the intervention has happened, Federation can't ignore the facts. Of course in the first place Federation shouldn't have intervened but now when the intervention has already happened and the mother is asking for asylum, we have to take the responsibility of the situation.

CEO_Martin says:
::Laughs softly:: EO: hmm...well, fireworks or not, your now a member of this crew, so if you'd be so kind as so help me out here....::stands and tells the EO about the shockings and zappings going on aboard the Andromeda::

XO_Miller says:
CSO:  Then wouldn't you think that the most minimal damage be done?  Why would you want to make the matter worse?  You're Vulcan, tell me where your logic is coming from?

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: There is no need for unnecessary display of emotion here. I believe that we are doing a lot of damage no matter how we proceed. I think that the most logical alternative is to escape and try to settle the matter later.

CO_Kalla says:
::Makes up her mind.:: OPS: On screen.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: As you wish. ::Puts the signal back on screen::

Host Windsor says:
ACTION:  The Lord's ship fired as well as the other again damaging the shields this time shields are down to 30 %

CTO_Senek says:
All: Shields down to 30%.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Rumbles in his chair and puts more power into the shield array::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: I recommend we warp out now. They have no peaceful intentions.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> ::Screams and runs ::

XO_Miller says:
CSO:  I will make the determination as to my emotions.  Is that understood?

CNS_Shania says:
::Follows Allana::

CSO_Sketek says:
XO: Of course. You are my superior officer. I will follow your orders, sir.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Growls audibly wants to go and take care of the Baron personally ::

EO_Briaire says:
::Walks slowly through main engineering with the CEO explaining him the recent events and nodding in understanding::

XO_Miller says:
CSO:  Just see that you don't forget that.  ::Abruptly walks over to the CO::

Host Windsor says:
ACTION: Baron follows Allana closely

CO_Kalla says:
COMM: Windsor: The logic in this situation totally evades me. I do not feel I can defend handing over your son to you, seeing the way you have treated his mother. What guarantees have I that you would not attack this ship the moment our shields were lowered?

Host Windsor says:
ACTION: Again the ships fire taking out shields

CTO_Senek says:
<Sec Team> ::Follows Allana and Baron closely::

CTO_Senek says:
All: Our shields are out.

CNS_Shania says:
::Catches up with Allana and stops her:: Allana: Calm now. The Captain is making the right decision, don't worry.

Host Windsor says:
ACTION: Just as the shields go down the baron yells now! Grabs the child from Allana and is beamed away from the ship

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> ::Dives behind a console::

CNS_Shania says:
::Tries to stop the Baron::

CEO_Martin says:
::Pulls out a padd with the most recent data on Marie and the zaps:: EO: now all we have to do, is figure out a plan to capture Marie and/or get rid of her completely

Host Windsor says:
ACTION:  The Baron is now on another of the lords ships with the child

CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Warp out of here, now!

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye ::Goes to warp::

OPS_Rogers says:
Self: Not good...

Host Windsor says:
COMM: ANDY:  I have what I need have a nice day. ::Grinning like Cheshire cat closes connection and leaves the Andy::

CTO_Senek says:
::Gives a little speech to the security team::

Host Windsor says:
ACTION: The Andy goes to warp.

CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Take us to the nearest star base. ::Sits in the CO seat.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: They've closed the signal, captain.

EO_Briaire says:
CEO: Understood...maybe there is a pattern where Marie appears...or maybe she has certain area's where she appears more often....

CNS_Shania says:
::Shakes head:: Self: Bas.........!

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: The ships aren't following us.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye sir ::Modifies the course for the nearest star base::

CO_Kalla says:
::Shakes her head. Gets up.:: XO: Again welcome on board. Not the best start I am sure.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<Allana> ::Faints ::

CO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Start damage repairs.

CEO_Martin says:
EO: I'm not sure, but Marie was originally created by our doctor to play a joke on our previous captain, but now that he is gone, she is shocking everyone else - except it seems the counselor.

CEO_Martin says:
*CO* Understood captain, I'll have damage repair teams get right on it

CNS_Shania says:
::Catches Allana before she hits the floor::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Thinks about what just happened and remembers Trial:: *CEO* Is everything ok down there?

XO_Miller says:
CO:  Unfortunately not.

EO_Briaire says:
::Nods::  CEO: Interesting....

CO_Kalla says:
CNS: How is Allana doing?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The EO gets zapped in the pants again

CEO_Martin says:
*OPS* Everything is fine down here Will...what about up there?

CNS_Shania says:
*CMO* We have a medical emergency on the bridge.

CNS_Shania says:
CO: She fainted....for a good reason.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CNS*: Please beam directly to sickbay, Ravenprowler out::

CEO_Martin says:
::Turns to the EO just in time to see him get zapped, and goes to the console where the zap came from to try and figure out what it was::

Host Shann says:
