Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Farewell to a Friend" 10207.07

CNS Jordain says:
::still going thru the ship hunting the pirates::

CSO Z`heta says:
::at the bridge configuring the ship's sensors::

CTO Senek says:
::Sends security officers to take the Gorn guards to the brig::

CTO Senek says:
::Glares at the Gorn ambassador::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::glares back at the CTO::

Host CO Sketek says:
::In the readyroom sending the letter to Adam Morecroft::

CTO Senek says:
Gorn_Ambassador: I await an explanation. And it had better be a good one.

FCO Durron says:
::is helping in the clean up effort in cargo bay one::

CSO Z`heta says:
*CO* Captain, the ship's sensors didn't recover totally from the hacking/piracy they took.  I'm uploading the info regarding the chameloid's DNA to a central database.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: I will have you hung for this!

FCO Durron says:
::picks up a scorched device and chucks it in a bin full of stuff that doesn't work::

Host CO Sketek says:
*CSO* Acknowledged.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The Klingon Ambassador and his guards are recovering in Sickbay

CSO Z`heta says:
::instructs the bridge staff on how to detect chameloids and decides to go to ME::

CNS Jordain says:
*MO* Ensign, How are the Klingons doing?

Host CO Sketek says:
*CTO* What is the situation there?

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: I'm afraid you aren't in the position to make threats. It was you who started the shooting. And it was you who disobeyed the orders of the ship's security officer. And do I need to remind you that we were on red alert and that we had intruders aboard?

CSO Z`heta says:
::leaves the Bridge and enters TL::  
Loud: to Main Engineering

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::bangs against the forcefield in a rage::

CNS Jordain says:
<MO> *CNS* They are recovering Sir, I'll let you know when I have more information

CTO Senek says:
*CO* The Gorns have been taken care of. The wounded are safely recovering in the sickbay.

CEO Rogers says:
::in ME rounding up the EO's and starting to get things straightened out::

CSO Z`heta says:
::leaves TL, enters ME and feel a bit awkward to be on ME again...::

CSO Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am... er...  good morning.  ::stands at attention on the presence of his former chief::

Host CO Sketek says:
*CTO* It seems that the incident with Gorns is based on completely incorrect conclusions. They are not the intruders. Did any of the Gorns get killed during the fight?

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The Andromeda is approaching the planet of the conference to drop off the Ambassadors there are several ships around the planet

CTO Senek says:
*CO* Mutual suspicion and the typical Gorn aggressiveness were the reasons for the incident. Luckily, no one died, but there are some severely wounded.

CEO Rogers says:
::looks up from a console at the former EO:: CSO: well, hello there, nice to see you

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Sir, we have found no more intruders at this point, do you want me to go on with my search?

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: I demand to SSesssspeak to your Commanding Officer!!!!! ::bangs his claws against the forcefield::

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* I don't think that's necessary anymore.

Host CO Sketek says:
*CTO* Understood. You must realize that this might turn into a major diplomatic incident. It might also get you to court martial should the Gorns continue with the matter further. Your next assignment is the most sincere apology and releasing them from the brig.

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* The situation should be clear now.

CEO Rogers says:
CSO: can I be of any help to you today?

CSO Z`heta says:
CEO: thank you ma'am. ::takes a tricorder and scans the commander::

CTO Senek says:
*CO* Sir.. I have done nothing wrong. They attacked my team, and we had to defend ourselves.

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Very well sir, then what are your orders?

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::continues to bangs his claws against the security forcefield::

CSO Z`heta says:
::verifies that it really is his Chief::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Aloud: ROOOOOOOOOOOOAR

FCO Durron says:
<Lureng> CSO: Sir we are approaching the conference planet

Host CO Sketek says:
*CTO* No, the Gorns have a different opinion and that is what matters. It is for greater good to keep the relations between the Federation and Gorn as friendly. You will apologize and release them now.

CEO Rogers says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: what are you doing?

CSO Z`heta says:
CEO: ma'am, has you know there are chameloids running loose on our vessel... I was just checking you DNA to confirm your id.  I apologize.

CTO Senek says:
*CNS* I don't have any orders for you anymore. Other teams found the Chameloids and the ship is back in our full control.

CSO Z`heta says:
Junior_SO: *CO* Sensors show that we're approaching the planet.  ::Puts the image on screen::

CTO Senek says:
*CO* And I sincerely doubt that it is safe to release all the Gorns... but I will let the ambassador our, at least.

CTO Senek says:
::Lowers the forcefield of the ambassador's brig::

Host CO Sketek says:
*Junior SO* Understood. On my way to the bridge.

FCO Durron says:
<Lureng>::looks around than at the SO than shrugs and prepares to put the andromeda in a parking orbit::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: I demand to Sssssspeak to your CO

CNS Jordain says:
*CTO* Aye sir, I will report to the bridge then

Host CO Sketek says:
::Exits the ready room and enters the bridge::

FCO Durron says:
<Lureng>*FCO*Sir we are approaching the plant

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: That can be arranged.

FCO Durron says:
*Lureng* acknowledge...thanks.  I'll be right up.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The main viewer reveals a planet ringed with ships from a variety of species

CEO Rogers says:
CSO: oh...well, ::smiles:: that’s fine....although if I blew up at the Gorn Ambassador like that...and nearly taken by one of the Cameloids...I can doubt the idea of me being one....and besides...I think I would be a bit surprised...

Host CO Sketek says:
::Looks at the planet from the big screen::

CSO Z`heta says:
CEO: Yes, ma'am.  But one can't be too careful.

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: And as for me.. I understand that our mutual suspicion got matters too heated, and I apologize for my part in that.

CNS Jordain says:
::walks into a TL:: TL: Deck One

FCO Durron says:
::throws down the thing he was trying to figure out than nods to a senior security officer and heads for the TL::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
<Klingon_Ambassador>::heads to the bridge with his guards::

CSO Z`heta says:
Chief, if you have the time, I'd ask you to upload info regarding the chameloid's DNA to your tricorder and run a check on the ME personnel...

CTO Senek says:
*CO* The ambassador naturally wishes to speak with you.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: CSO: I'll do that as soon as I have the chance...

Host CO Sketek says:
*CTO* Arrange security officers to escort him to my ready room.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: Releassse my Bodyguards fleshcreature!

FCO Durron says:
::Enters the TL near the Cargo bay and exits it on the bridge::

CTO Senek says:
::Calls for a security team of four to escort the Gorn ambassador to the CO's ready room, and releases two of the Gorn's bodyguards to accompany him::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::pokes the CTO with a single claw::

CNS Jordain says:
::arrives on the bridge and exits the TL and nods at the CO.  He walks to his seat and sits down::

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: We will escort you to our captain now.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: Release the lassst oneeee

CSO Z`heta says:
CEO: Yes, chief. ::hesitates for a bit::  Ma'am, I just like to say that it was a privilege to be on ME with a fine officer like yourself.  I've learned a great lot.  thank you, Sir

CTO Senek says:
::Hesitates a bit, but then releases the last one as well:: Gorn: Now let's go.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The Klingon Ambassador and his bodyguards arrive on the bridge

FCO Durron says:
::walks up and places a hand on Lureng's shoulder:: Lureng:I will see you later.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: After you.....

CTO Senek says:
::Waits for the Gorns to go first::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::trips the CTO with his tail:: CTO: clumsy

CNS Jordain says:
::sees the Klingons arrive and gets out of his chair and nods::

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: Let's not start it all again.

CEO Rogers says:
::looks up a bit surprised:: CSO: oh...umm...well...it was really very nice having a fine officer such as yourself work in ME for a while, I doubt I'll get another EO quite as pleasing to work with again in the future

CTO Senek says:
::Heads for the bridge and signals the others to follow::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
<Klingon_Ambassador>CO: Greetings ::all smiles::

FCO Durron says:
::sits down and looks at the Klingon ambassador's guards than glances around the room.  Than back at his console::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::enters Turbolift::

CTO Senek says:
::Orders the TL to the bridge::

Host CO Sketek says:
Klingon ambassador: Greetings.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::glares at an Ens who is in the TL and shows his teeth:: <Ens> ::turns pale::

CSO Z`heta says:
::blushes as much as a half-klingon can do:: 
CEO: thank you. You'll always be my Chief.  We'll, I better get back to the bridge.
::leaves ME::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
<Klingon_Ambassador>CO: A great and honorable fight with the Gorns, much entertainment :::all the Klingons laugh::

CSO Z`heta says:
::enters TL:: Loud: Deck one.

Host CO Sketek says:
Klingon ambassador: We have a special holodeck program reserved for you. Unfortunately we've been unable to show it to you yet, but perhaps you would like to see it now?

FCO Durron says:
::glances at the CO than shrugs and goes back to work::

CEO Rogers says:
::gets back to work on straightening out ME::

CTO Senek says:
::Arrives at the bridge with the Gorns::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The Gorns and the CTO arrive on the Bridge .....the Klingons go for their knives

Host CO Sketek says:
::Was afraid of this::

CTO Senek says:
::Steps between the Gorns and the Klingons::

CNS Jordain says:
::goes over reports on the crew and sees the gorn arrive. Jumps up when he sees the Klingons go for there knives::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Goes to the greet the Gorns and shows a calm and peaceful look at the Klingons::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
<Klingon Ambassador>CTO: Out of the WAY, let me finish what I started!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Host CO Sketek says:
Klingons: It is not the time for battle.

CTO Senek says:
Klingon: Calm down.. we don't want any more blood today on our ship.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::Hisssssssssssssssssssssss::

CSO Z`heta says:
::enters the bridge and sees Klingons with knifes, Gorns...   draws his phaser out of precaution and sets it to stun::

FCO Durron says:
::puts the ship into a parking orbit careful to avoid the other vessels::

CSO Z`heta says:
::puts the phaser behind his back and takes out the tricorder to scan the DNA of those on the bridge::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The Klingons and the Gorns attempt to finish their melee but Security separates them.....barely about 20 Security officers are now between each group

Host CO Sketek says:
::shouts:: Order!

FCO Durron says:
::locks the console in::
CO: Sir we have arrived

Host CO Sketek says:
::Turns to the FCO:: FCO: Put the ship to orbit.

CNS Jordain says:
::walks up to the CSO::
CSO: And? Does your tricorder get anything?

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The Klingons being Federation Allies, stop but the Gorns keep struggling

FCO Durron says:
CO: already done sir.

CEO Rogers says:
::finnishes up the last of her small bit of work amongst the mass of other things to be done, and picks up her tricorder::

CSO Z`heta says:
::scans the CNS::
CNS: Oh, it's really you.  Hello Tal, I'm checking...   No, everyone here is who they appear to be

CTO Senek says:
Gorns: As we have already noticed, fighting each other will lead us nowhere. Now please calm down.

CNS Jordain says:
CSO: Ok Rie, but please put that phaser away then.
::smiles::

FCO Durron says:
::stands up and looks at the gorn with distaste than nods to the CSO and CNS casually::

CSO Z`heta says:
::smiles back to the CNS and nods::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: It takes 10 Security officers for each Gorn to finally subdue them, the whole security department is basically on the bridge now

CNS Jordain says:
::nods back at the FCO::

CEO Rogers says:
::puts the tricorder back down with an idea in mind. She starts setting up the computer's internal sensors so they will scan every being on the ship to see if they are Chameloid or not::

FCO Durron says:
::suddenly doesn't like the number of people on the bridge and sits back down and looks at all of the vessels within a set range::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The CEO has returned Main Engineering to working order from the Choatic mess it was

CSO Z`heta says:
CNS: I think our Security staff is handling the the Gorns.  I wouldn't mind giving a taste of my Bath'leh to Captain Kalla's murderers, but I must remember I'm a StarFleet officer...

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::enters the CO ready room::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Walks to the ready room, goes behind the desk, and sits down::

CNS Jordain says:
CSO: If this is all over, would you be in for a drink in the lounge?

CSO Z`heta says:
CNS: In a while, Lt.  I must check something on the internal sensors first.

Host CO Sketek says:
Gorn ambassador: You wanted to see me.

CTO Senek says:
::Looks after the Gorn bodyguards::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CO: Your CTO pulled a weapon on me and began thissssssssssss whole MESSSSSS ::begins to rant and rave::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
Action: The bridge can hear the Gorn yelling from outside the ready room

CEO Rogers says:
::finnished setting up the computers internal sensors and begins a deck by deck scan::

Host CO Sketek says:
Gorn ambassador: We will conduct full investigations and treat all the wounds your guards got during the battle.

CNS Jordain says:
CSO: No problem at all, just tell me when you are ready
::nods and goes the the FCO::
FCO: And how are you feeling?

CSO Z`heta says:
::puts the phaser away , heads to the Science console::
Junior_SO: Thank very much; you're relieved, but please don't leave the bridge.  We may need you in a while.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: We attacked when he wouldn’t lower his weapon!!!!!!!!!!! HA! I demand to be beamed down immediately and get off this foul SSSSShip!!!

FCO Durron says:
CNS: worried...we don't need this many people on the bridge

CSO Z`heta says:
<Junior_SO> CSO: Yes, Sir.  I'll be on that console working if you need me.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
<Klingon_Ambassador>::sits at an open station and puts his feet up::

Host CO Sketek says:
Gorn ambassador: You can leave whenever you wish. Please keep in mind that the incident was a terrible mistake.

CSO Z`heta says:
::sees on the Science console that LtComm Rogers is performing a scan of the ship::

CNS Jordain says:
FCO: Relax, it will all be over soon. You can also join me and Mr Z'heta for a drink in the lounge.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CO: THERE WILL BE NO PEACE BETWEEN US AND YOUR FEDERATION!!!! ::shakes his mighty fists in a fury at the CO, twitching his reptillian tail with ire and rage...stomps off and leaves the RR in a huff::

FCO Durron says:
CNS: that would be nice. However, I have other plans.  perhaps another time.

CSO Z`heta says:
*CEO* Thank you for doing the scan.  I'm glad you managed to do it and still fixing ME.  Did your scans revealed anything?

Host CO Sketek says:
Self: As you wish. ::Watching the ambassador leaving the room in rage::

CEO Rogers says:
*CSO*: the scans simply tell me what everyone already knows...that all the Chameliods that are on the ship, are all in the brig

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: We are leaving now fleshcreature!

CTO Senek says:
::Watches the Gorn storm out of the RR::

CNS Jordain says:
FCO: Sure, no problem. I'll leave you to it now
::goes back to his chair and sits down looking at the reports again::

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: Fine. I'll escort you to a transporter room.
::Signals all the Gorns and several security officers to follow::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
CTO: you want a piece of me? ::pokes the CTO with a single hideous claw::

CTO Senek says:
::Goes to a TL, waits for all the others and then orders it to a TR::

CSO Z`heta says:
*CEO* that's nice to hear.  I'll inform the captain.  Did you use the ship's sensors without any trouble?  Because we had some pirate software operating and I was unable to use them.

CTO Senek says:
Gorn: I don't feel any hostility for you or your race. The incident was a mistake.

Host CO Sketek says:
::Walks back to the bridge::

CSO Z`heta says:
*CO* / CTO / FCO/ CNS : Sir, Commander Rogers confirmed that all chameloid beings are already on the brig.

CNS Jordain says:
ALL: Captain on the bridge
::smiles at the CO and nods::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Nods back at the CNS::

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::disappointed that he cant get a reaction from the CTO and leaves::

CSO Z`heta says:
::stands at attention::

CEO Rogers says:
*CSO* I did not encounter any problems with the sensors

CTO Senek says:
::Arrives at the TR and prepares to beam the Gorns down::

Host CO Sketek says:
*CSO* Excellent.

Host Gorn Ambassador says:
::steps into the transporter room with his guards::

CSO Z`heta says:
::nods at the CO::

CTO Senek says:
*CO* I'm beaming down the Gorns now.

CTO Senek says:
::Beams down the Gorns::

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
CO: Well that was fun, you should be commended

CTO Senek says:
::Heads back to the bridge::
Self: "Warriors"...

CSO Z`heta says:
*CEO* That means that the pirate software was eradicated.  Good! Me and the Captain were unable to do it while they were still using the computer...  Sometime I'll like to talk to you and the CTO regarding security protocols on the use of the Computer...

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
CSO: I see you have Klingon blood

Host CO Sketek says:
Klingon ambassador: I'm afraid many won't agree. Neverthless, would you be interested in visiting the holodeck program while you are still onboard? Naturally I understand if you wish to leave for the diplomatic conference.

CSO Z`heta says:
Klingon_Ambassador:  Yes, Sir.  It's an honour to be in your presence.  Qapla'!

CEO Rogers says:
*CSO* I will make a note of that, perhaps after this whole mess is cleaned up in ME...

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
CO: Anyone who doesn’t agree is a fool!
::Klingon Belly Laugh::
This was great fun but we must leave now, I have left some Blood Wine in my Quarters for you and your crew

CSO Z`heta says:
*CEO* Thank you, Chief.  Bridge out  ::taps his commbadge::

CTO Senek says:
::Arrives at the bridge::

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
CSO: Does your Blood Burn Klingon?

CEO Rogers says:
::goes around to the EO's, and check's on how the clean up of the chaos is coming along::

Host CO Sketek says:
Klingon ambassador: Very well. I wish you and your people a glorious future. We have been honored by your visit.

FCO Durron says:
::saves two copies of a list of the names of the vessels in orbit...just in case::

CSO Z`heta says:
Klingon_Ambassador: It does. Although I'm only half Klingon I completed the rite of Ascension  

CNS Jordain says:
::puts away the reports::

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
::opens a dagger::
CSO: Then take the blade part of the dagger and demonstrate your honour

CNS Jordain says:
::hears the Klingon Amb and the CSO and watches...::

FCO Durron says:
::begins looking at an anomaly on his console::

FCO Durron says:
::picks up a hair and looks at it than shakes his head and drops the hair on the ground::

CSO Z`heta says:
Klingon_Ambassador: One thing I learned as a Klingon is to respect my Superiors.  I won't do any rite while I'm on duty.  I know that my Captain would not approve.

CNS Jordain says:
::takes a med kit just in case::

CSO Z`heta says:
Klingon_Ambassador: Nevertheless, it's here. 
::shows his dagger to the Ambassador as well as his Bath’leh'::

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
CO: Will you allow your CSO to grasp the blade and spill a drop of blood?

CNS Jordain says:
::gets up and walks towards the CO::

FCO Durron says:
::quietly nods approval at the CSO's decision but doesn't turn around::

Host CO Sketek says:
Klingon ambassador: I will let him decide that himself. If that is his wish, I won't object.

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
::offers the dagger blade::

CNS Jordain says:
::stands next to the CO and looks at him::

FCO Durron says:
::looks down and suddenly realises that he is in his dress uniform and wonders how long ago it was that he was going to that dinner::

CSO Z`heta says:
CO: thank you Sir.
::looks at the Ambassador at his eyes, slowly takes the blade and runs it thru his bare arm and hand::  

CSO Z`heta says:
::shows the Ambassador that the colour of his blood is pink, like any Klingon::

FCO Durron says:
::sighs and looks at something on his console::

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
::looks pleased::
CSO: Receive now the approval of a fellow warrior and the esteem of your honour , keep the dagger it runs with honourable blood

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
CO: I am ready to beam down now

CNS Jordain says:
::looks at the CSO and lets his eyes glide to the medkit that he has in his hand::

Host CO Sketek says:
::Nods to the Klingons and initiates a direct beamdown::

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
::scowls at the CNS::

CSO Z`heta says:
Klingon_Ambassador: Thank you Sir.  You see, honour is well known to Starfleet.
::points to the CO::
CO: Thank you, Captain.

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
Action: The Klingons beam down

Host CO Sketek says:
CSO: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. Don't forget that.

FCO Durron says:
::glances at the CNS than at the CO and sighs than goes back to his console::
over sholder: CO: one question what are we going to do with our friends down in the brig?

CSO Z`heta says:
::walks to the Science console, looks at the medikit without saying a word::
CO: Sir, sensors confirm the beamdown was made successfully.

Host CO Sketek says:
FCO: We will let the Federation security take care of them.

CNS Jordain says:
ALL: Who needs a drink?

Host Klingon Ambassador says:
