Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Farewell to a Friend" 10206.23

CNS Jordain says:
::on the way to his office where a team of 8 is waiting for him::

CSO Z`heta says:
::working on the bridge, reading medical info on the chameloid species::

CNS Jordain says:
*CO* Captain, I'm on my way to meat up with my team now, where do you want us to start?

Host CO Sketek says:
*CNS* Please coordinate with the CTO for the exact search pattern.

CTO Senek says:
::Stands at tactical, creating a search pattern to cover the whole ship::

CNS Jordain says:
*CO*Aye Sir
*CTO* Where do you want me to start?

FCO Durron says:
 ::taps the chime on the Klingon Ambassador's doorway::

Host CO Sketek says:
::On the bridge reading the information coming from the internal sensors::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The forces of evil plot their next move

CTO Senek says:
::Makes the plan so that the teams cover the essential parts of the ship first and then proceed to other areas::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Klingon_Ambassador> Aloud: Come

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* Your team will start from the lower decks. Inspect main engineering and other essential parts of the engineering section first.

CTO Senek says:
::Calls guards to the bridge and heads to meet his team on deck 2::

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: Sir, before I coordinate with the CTO, there's some info I would like to share with you.  Chameloids are very sensitive to environmental changes.  If we were to raise the temperature only by 3 degrees Kelvin, I bet the ship's sensors could pick up their different pigmentation.  Or at least a tricorder would do so.

FCO Durron says:
 ::enters and glances around the room than lowers the phaser rifle::
K Ambasador: Sir. I need to talk to you...in private
::looks at the bodyguard::

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Got that, I'll will report in every 5 minutes. If I don't ...well...then you know what that means..

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: Oh! Captain, the pirate vessels continue to pursue us at warp 5.

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* Ok.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Klingon_Ambassador> FCO: Something seems amiss on this ship, I will require my bodyguard to be in attendance

FCO Durron says:
 ::leans his rifle up against the inside of the door way::
K Ambasador: Sir. That is your decision. Just one question. Have you been in visual contact with him since you boarded?

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: That should not be a security issue since we are already going warp 6.

CTO Senek says:
::Meets his team on deck two and starts to systematically check the most essential parts of the ship::

CNS Jordain says:
::arrives at his office where he sees the team standing by fully armed::
CNS Team: Listen up, we are going hunting starting in ME set phasers on stun.  Everybody got that?
::looks at the team::

CTO Senek says:
::Keeps in touch with bridge officers who monitor the internal sensors::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Klingon_Ambassador> FCO: Of course why?

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  And regarding the chameloids, should I increase the deck's temperature?

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: The idea regarding changing temperature sounds good.

CNS Jordain says:
<CNS Team> CNS: Yes Sir

FCO Durron says:
 K Ambasador: we may have Shapechanging Chameloids aboard sir.

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: Three Kelvins shouldn't do much difference for the real crew while it you could be a significant advantage so you can proceed and implement your suggestion.

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: aye aye, sir!

CNS Jordain says:
::moves with his team towards ME::

FCO Durron says:
 K Ambasador: They have killed the Federation Ambassador and Captain Kalla.

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: I'm on it, Sir
::increases the temperature by 3 degrees and humidity by 10%::

CNS Jordain says:
::walks thru the corridors of the Andromeda looking for the evil that is onboard::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Environmental Controls do not respond

FCO Durron says:
 ::looks at the Klingon Ambasador::

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* CNS Team here, now entering ME
::enters ME::

FCO Durron says:
 K_Ambasador:I recommend that you arm yourself. and until this situation is resolved remain in your quarters.

CTO Senek says:
::After checking the officers' quarters on deck 2, moves with his team to deck 4::

CNS Jordain says:
::the team enters ME and takes strategic positions::

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* Acknowledged. If you find any chameloids, don't take unnecessary risks.

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: Captain, the environmental controls do not respond; I'm trying to override but without success

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Aye sir

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Klingon_Ambassador> FCO: I am always armed

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: Check the computer system for any security alerts. They might have taken over parts of our computer system.

CTO Senek says:
::Inspects VIP quarters with his team and at the end of the procedure arrives to the Klingon Ambassador's quarters::

CNS Jordain says:
::at first everything seems ok in ME::
CNS Team: Look around

FCO Durron says:
 K_Ambasador: that is good.  than be on alert.  If anyone enters knock them out.  Try not to kill them.

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: logically I'll assume that these controls were deliberately jammed. I'll do as you said.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Gorn Ambassador leaves his quarters and stomps around

FCO Durron says:
 K_Ambasador: I have things to tend to.  I thought you should be told.

CSO Z`heta says:
::checks the computer logs for security alerts::

CTO Senek says:
::Notices the Gorn Ambassador leaving his room::

FCO Durron says:
 ::nods and picks up his phaser rifle by the stock and heads out of the Klingon ambassadors Quarters.::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Klingon_Ambassador>FCO: I demand to know what is going on

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: Captain, intruders are definitely linked into the main computer, and they're blocking me out.  That's  why I'm unable to change the temperature

Host CO Sketek says:
*CTO* There are possible security problems in our computer system. We are unable to adjust the environmental system due to unknown cause.

CTO Senek says:
*CO* I understand. I will move to inspect the main computer core next.

CNS Jordain says:
::ME seems clear and he moves on to other engineering levels::

FCO Durron says:
 K_Ambassador: Sir you know everything that I know as of right now. We stopped earlier to proceed with the investigation. We came under attack and returned to warp.  We are fairly safe right now. Save for the Cameloids.

CTO Senek says:
Gorn Ambassador: I recommend you go back to your quarters and stay there.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: A red warning light begins to flash on the Captain's console, someone is trying to remotely access the warp drive controls

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Klingon_Ambassador> FCO: You have Spies aboard? !!!

Host CO Sketek says:
::Notices the red light and immediately goes to the nearest console::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Tries to disable the unauthorized access::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Gorn_Ambassador> ::looks down at the CTO from his considerable height and makes an ugly growl::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The intruders are attempting to reroute around the CO's panel

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: We don't have time for any of this. There are intruders aboard.

CNS Jordain says:
::looks around on the other levels that connect to ME in any way::

FCO Durron says:
 K_Ambasador: Sir. they are not spies...they are assassins. we are working to eliminate that threat. Your safety is one of my concerns. I recommend that you do not allow anyone into your quarter until we dock at the starbase.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Gorn_Ambassador> ::stomps off unconcerned with the CTO::

CSO Z`heta says:
::taps the computer console an types instructions to try to restore full access to the ship's systems::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Intruders have succeeded in reducing the ship to warp 6.5

Host CO Sketek says:
::Keeps fighting against the cracking attempt::

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Find out anything? ME seems clear

CTO Senek says:
::Waves his phaser at the Gorn:: Gorn: This is for your own safety, but yet I don't allow you to compromise it. Go back into your quarters.

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: Looks like they've managed to compromise our engine systems as well. We have to get the computer into our hands no matter what the costs are.

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* The VIP quarters seem to be clear as well.

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Ok moving upwards deck by deck now

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* Carry on.

FCO Durron says:
 K_Ambasador: I am going to attempt to fix the problem now sir.  I can not do that when I am here.

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: Yes, Captain. I also suspect they're trying to raise the comm protocol we established.

CNS Jordain says:
::moves upwards to the next deck::

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* Before you move to the upper decks, check the environmental controls. It was the first system to stop working.

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Will do, going back now

FCO Durron says:
 ::nods again to the K_ambasador and exits his quarters without further discussion::

CTO Senek says:
::Escorts the Gorn back into his quarters::

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: the computer shows the possibility that chameloids only alter they exterior aspect; they can not change they're genetic code, or DNA.

CNS Jordain says:
::stops and goes back to check up on the ENV controls::

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: With this hacking on the ship's systems it will be hard to put the internal sensors to detect the DNA code of the crew, but a tricorder can do it.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Gorn Ambassador's Bodyguards Pull their disruptors on the CTO immediately as he pulls his phaser

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: Yes, correct. The main priority is now to get the computer back into our control.

CTO Senek says:
Gorns: We have shapeshifting assassins on board the vessel! The safest place for you all, especially the ambassador, is in your own quarters.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Gorn_Ambassador> CTO: Put down your weapon or we will burn you down

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Sir, did you get my last message?

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* I did.

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: I agree Sir. but the teams may like to be aware of this info.

CNS Jordain says:
::his team is working on the ENV::

CTO Senek says:
Gorns: The last thing I want is to spend my time quarrelling with you.

FCO Durron says:
 *CNS*:where were you imprisoned?

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: That is correct too.

CNS Jordain says:
*FCO* In Cargo Bay, why if I may ask?

CTO Senek says:
Gorns: If you want to help in locating the assassins, some of you may join our search teams. But I want the ambassador to be safe.

Host CO Sketek says:
*CTO, CNS, FCO* It is possible that the computer systems have partially or completely fallen into the hands of the intruders so please take that into consideration when communicating or otherwise using the computer.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Since the CTO hasn’t put away his weapon, the Gorn bodyguards wound him and rush the Security officers with him

FCO Durron says:
 *CNS*: I have an Idea. I will get back to you

FCO Durron says:
 *CO*Understood sir

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: I've been able to pinpoint the source location of the hacking to the cargo bay one. I will leave there to resolve the matter. You have the bridge.

CNS Jordain says:
*FCO* Very well, we are now looking into the ENV controls, just so you know

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Comm channels are flooded with the sounds of a scuffle and melee

CNS Jordain says:
self: what the... *FCO* What was that sound?

CTO Senek says:
::Falls down and tries to get around a corner::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Leaves for the cargo bay running through corridors armed with a hand phaser::

CSO Z`heta says:
CSO: Aye aye, sir!

FCO Durron says:
 ::meets up with his security team::
*CNS* I do not know… sounds like a fight

CTO Senek says:
Team: Take safe positions. Don't return fire yet!

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Gorn Body Guards pick up the Security officers near the CTO and throw them around like rag dolls

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Open Comm> *AIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE*

FCO Durron says:
 ::replicates three smoke grenades tells his team to follow him::

CTO Senek says:
*Bridge* The Gorns have attacked us.

CTO Senek says:
*Bridge* Is it possible to get a transporter lock on them and beam them to the brig?

CSO Z`heta says:
::takes the "big chair" and does his best to prevent the computer hacking::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Still running to get to the cargo bay::

FCO Durron says:
 ::Heads for the cargo bay::

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Sir, are you all right. I'm hearing strange sounds over the Comm?

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* I am not all right. The Gorns assaulted us.

CSO Z`heta says:
*CTO* Z'heta to CTO: Acknowledge Sir. I'll send backups.

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* What ..., we are on our way

CTO Senek says:
*CNS,FCO* The Gorns may be the assassins we are looking for. Assistance is required on deck 4.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Ship has dropped to warp 5.5 the pirates are closing in

FCO Durron says:
 *CNS*go to deck 4 I will join you shortly

CSO Z`heta says:
::orders some junior officers to assemble a security task and converge on the CTO's location::

FCO Durron says:
 *CTO* I doubt that I will make it to your possisition in time but I will try

Host CO Sketek says:
::Arrives at the cargo bay one and cautiously tries to open the doors and proceed in::

CTO Senek says:
::Fires at the Gorns, and the other team members follow the example::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CO opens the door an small distance and sees aliens operating computers

CNS Jordain says:
*FCO* On my way, ::looks at his team:: Team: Lest go men  Computer: emergency beamout to deck 4

FCO Durron says:
 ::arrives at the cargo bay right after the CO:: CO: sir..looks like someone else had my idea

CSO Z`heta says:
*ME* Bridge to Engineering: What's going on the warp core? Why are we dropping speed? Do your best to reroute power!

CTO Senek says:
*CSO* The transporters?

FCO Durron says:
 ::has his team lined up aginst the wall:: Team: Set for stun

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Gorns return fire and wound 3 security officers, the Klingon Bodyguards come out weapons drawn

CTO Senek says:
::Phasers are set to stun::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Nods to the FCO and dives into to the cargo bay::

CSO Z`heta says:
*CTO* I'm sorry, the internal transporters are disabled

CTO Senek says:
Klingons: The Gorns attacked us! They must be the assassins we are looking for!

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Klingons fire on the Gorn!!

FCO Durron says:
 ::Sets his rifle to stun chucks one of the smoke grenades in than dives in on the other side of the doorway from CO:: 
TEAM: stun everyone. no prisoners

CTO Senek says:
::Keeps fighting the Gorns with his team and the Klingons::

FCO Durron says:
 ::fires at any movement excluding the COs::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The aliens see the CO and FCO and toss grenades!!

CNS Jordain says:
::the beamout to deck 4 fails::
Team: Lets hurry on foot then
::starts running heading to deck 4::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Takes cover::

CTO Senek says:
*CSO* Acknowledged. The situation should soon be under control, though, as the Klingon ambassadors' bodyguards joined us.

FCO Durron says:
 CO/Team:Grenade!.  ::grabs one or two and chucks them back than dive behind one of those blue barrels::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Tries to determine where the aliens are and shoots in that general direction::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Klingons and Gorn engage in a fierce battle preventing Security from getting a clear shot, blood is everywhere

CSO Z`heta says:
*CTO* glad to hear that, sir!

CNS Jordain says:
*FCO* What is your status sir?

CTO Senek says:
*CSO* Medical teams are required, though.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The FCO's grenade bounces close to the Chameloid's computers and renders their hacking systems into junk

CTO Senek says:
::Gathers his team::

CSO Z`heta says:
*Sick bay*: Put EMH on line; assist the wounded at once!

CTO Senek says:
::Takes good firing positions and tries to help the Klingons::

CNS Jordain says:
::arrives on deck 4 and sees the fight::
All:  Enough ::shouts and holding his phaser in front of him::

FCO Durron says:
 *CNS* busy

CNS Jordain says:
*FCO* Same here

CTO Senek says:
CNS: Yelling won't calm down Gorns and Klingons.

FCO Durron says:
 ::stands up and begins laying down covering fire::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CO and FCO subdue the aliens

CTO Senek says:
::Fires at the Gorns with phasers set to stun::

FCO Durron says:
 FCO's team::enter and secure the area::

CSO Z`heta says:
::Has a tough decision to make: pirates are closing in, but raising red alert could cause panic and a also a diplomatic issue::

CSO Z`heta says:
Self: well, the ambassador's are already aware of the skirmish and security comes first... 

CSO Z`heta says:
Computer: Red alert!
*CO* pirates are closing by, Sir

FCO Durron says:
 CO: they are likely having problems on deck 4

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Gorn and Klingons fall over stunned, having critically injured each other

CNS Jordain says:
CTO: Very well, then maybe another approach
::fires a phaser shot trying to hit no one::

FCO Durron says:
 CO: the security team can handle this situation. I am going to head to the bridge.

CSO Z`heta says:
::see's all systems returning to normal::

CTO Senek says:
::Rushes to the Gorns and Klingons::

Host CO Sketek says:
*CSO* Since the computer systems should be back in our control, why don't you increase speed?

CTO Senek says:
All: Help the wounded. We don't want to explain dead Klingons to anyone, and we want the assassins alive.

CSO Z`heta says:
Junior navigator: Take us out of here, warp 6 as before!

CSO Z`heta says:
::ceases Red Alert::

CSO Z`heta says:
*CO* Already on it, Sir!  Good to know your ok!

CTO Senek says:
*CSO* The fight has ceased. Medical teams are required to help the wounded Klingons and to keep the Gorns/Chameloids alive for questioning.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda increases to Warp 6 and outruns the pirates

CNS Jordain says:
*FCO* What is your status at the moment, do you need assistance?

CNS Jordain says:
::5 of his team give medical care to the wounded::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Preliminary Scans indicate that neither the Gorns or Klingons are Chamedloids

FCO Durron says:
 Team: take the Chameloids to the brig.  Take the crewmembers to the sickbay...have them assure that they are actually who they look like

FCO Durron says:
 *CNS*The situation is in hand here

CTO Senek says:
Self: What is this? Well, these Gorns belong to the brig anyway...

Host CO Sketek says:
*CSO* The crisis is over for now.

CSO Z`heta says:
*CO* I'm glad to hear that Sir!

FCO Durron says:
 CO: sir it is not. it is likely that there are more Chameloids aboard. sir

CNS Jordain says:
*FCO* Very well   CTO: I'm going to go tru the ship in search for some other evil if that is ok with you?

CTO Senek says:
::Sends security officers to bring the Gorns to the brig and others to help the Klingons to sickbay::

CTO Senek says:
CNS: It appears we'll have to keep on searching. Let's carry on.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Pause USS Andromeda "Farewell to Friend" 10206.23
