Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Rigel Agenda"

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The USS Andromeda has just liberated the USS Dauntless from the grips of the evil and treacherous pirates

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::on the bridge, taking a short breather::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::On TR1, receiving the oncoming civilians::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::In Sickbay attending to the wounded::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Incoming Transmission from Starbase 50

CTO Commander Senek says:
::At tactical::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
::In engineering::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Put it on screen, or speakers, if it's only voice.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: After some significant effort and tossing aside burnt parts the CEO succeeds in restoring phasers, the CTO's panel beeps as phaser power rises to full and shows "active"

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. ::patches the transmission onto the viewscreen::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::in her EVA suit, at transporter room2. She nods to the transporter chief:: TC: Energize

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::tries to comfort the children while walking to the junior officer's quarters::  Civ_children: Hello!  Do you like this enormous ship? Quite a beauty! Don't cry, don't cry, your mommies are coming soon.

Host Admiral_Winter says:
Comm: USS Andromeda: <message coded> Our Sensor bouys have monitored your engagements with the Bird of Prey and the USS Dauntless, well done, the Klingon High Command has also reported to us regarding the presence of the IKS Bloodwing in this sector, you are ordered to escort the Dauntless to SB 50
In addition, you and your command staff are ordered to report to the briefing room at SB 50 with myself and Commander Chess from SF Intelligence to discuss findings and strategy.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::after transport she arrives at the freighter's bridge. Looks around::

Host Admiral_Winter says:

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*XO* Rie, how are the children holding up?

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::begins plotting a course back to Starbase 50::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COMM: Starbase 50: We have received the transmission and will comply as quickly as our situation permits. We have issues with broken systems and wounded crew but we try to manage.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@*CO*Saprin to Sketek

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS* Not so well, Tal, not so well.  I do  think they need some counselling.  But perhaps it's wiser for you to continue the research on the virus... I'm not sure...  Clear your actions with the Captain, if you wish.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CSO* Sketek here. What have you found?

Host Admiral_Winter says:
Comm: USS Andromeda: Acknowledged

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
*CO*The crew is alive and the freighter's main systems are operational. They only don't have a com system. I suggest we beam some spare parts from the Andromeda

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CEO* Your mission is now to ensure that Andromeda and Dauntless are both warp capable. The faster they can get the better.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*XO* Indeed Rie, but I'm also helping wounded at the same moment, I need help on this one. But I will try to manage and see the kids later on.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
*CO* Aye sir.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CSO* Understood. You may return to Andromeda.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@*CO*Yes Captain

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@*TC*One to beam back to the Andromeda

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CEO* Additionally beam spare parts to the freighter. I will send in a list. ::Sends a list::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS* In that case, there are some adults here too, so they can keep an eye on our guests while I meet you.  See ya

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::makes a call waking up a few extra personnel for sickbay so work on the virus can continue::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::arrives again at TR2. Quickly takes off her helmet and gets off the pad::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::takes off the rest of the suit and heads for the nearest TL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*XO* Got it Rie, see you later

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
*CO* Ok, got that list, gimme 10 mins to organise everything

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::plays a bit with the children, sensing that they don't feel at ease and leaves them with junior officers::  ::Enter the TL and orders t to SickBay::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Right now it would be catastrophical if we got a yet another attack through our shields so work with engineering to bring ours and Dauntless' shields and weapons back to shape.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
::Assembles the spare parts and beams them over to the freighter::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::sees extra crew arrives in sickbay and briefs them. Walks to his station again trying to find a cure for the Virus::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::arrives at the bridge and takes science1 again::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Our phasers are already back up, the rest of our and defensive systems are being worked on.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Good. Check the status of Dauntless too.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
*CO* Permission to beam aboard to the Dauntless to repair the warp core

Host Admiral_Winter says:
Action: The Galaxy Class starship the USS Avenger and two Federation frigates drop out of warp to provide protection while the Andromeda and the Dauntless make repairs

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Plot a course back to Starbase. We might not get to engage right away but make a plan so that we can when the time comes.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Nods at the CO and checks the current condition of the Dauntless::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: The USS Avenger and 2 frigates have just dropped out of warp

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::checks his console:: CO: One step ahead of you, Captain. Just give me a speed and the word.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The Avenger and her escorts are probably more than enough to protect us from raiders, so I don't think the repairs of tactical systems should be a priority right now.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COMM: Avenger: Greetings. Our ship is already in good shape but the Dauntless needs lots of assistance.

Host Admiral_Winter says:
Action: The Avenger and the frigates establish a tachyon perimeter with beams and probes around local space

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Captain, I placed the civilians on the junior officer's quarters.  Since the fight is over, perhaps thay could return to the Dauntless.  They children are restless, not knowing this ship and all...

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
::Assembles equipment and heads down to the TL::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
TL: Transporter room 1

Host Admiral_Winter says:
<Avenger> COMM: USS Andromeda: We will establish a safe zone while you make repairs

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* You may begin beaming back the civilians.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: They built us a tachyon sphere. We should be well protected by it

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COMM: Avenger: We are grateful for that.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::the console beeps and green light appear::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
self: This can't be....
*XO* Rie can you please come to sickbay ASAP

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Very well. Z'heta out. 
Computer: belay that; return to the previous deck.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::taps at his console and, since they're protected, instructs his flight crew to direct their efforts towards Andromeda's repairs::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
Transporter_Chief: Beam me over to the Dauntless please

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS* It'll take sometime, the civilians are about to return to the Dauntless.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Captain, since the virus was artificially created, shouldn't we interrogate the pirates to discover who did it?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*XO* I found the cure Rie, I'm going to need you here before I try it on our first victim as a security crew

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: What's the status of pirates? How many have we captured, from what ships and how many of them are conscious and capable of speaking?

Host Admiral_Winter says:
Scene: The main viewer shows the Galaxy class Avenger glistering against the backdrop of space, her thousands of portholes as little rays of lights, illuminated by the deep bleu glow of her majestic warp engines, and on the side, the Navigation lights display "USS Avenger United Federation of Planets"

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves the TL::  
Civilians: I have some good news: the Dauntless has been cleared for your return.  Without further delay, you'll star to be beamed from this location! 
::looks at the happy faces and smiles::  
*Transporter_Chief*: lock on my location and beam the people here to the Dauntless.  I'm not included of course...

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::watches that very scene through her sensors and not the viewscreen::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* The civilians are ready to return to their vessel, Sir.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::On the Dauntless heading for ME::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The Orions from the Dauntless are currently in our brigs, and most of them are physically in a good condition.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* You can start the transfer any time you want.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Aye aye, Captain. 
*Transporter_chief*: Energize!

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Begins repairs on the Dauntless's warp core::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Go to talk to them and try to get information from them.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS* I'm on my way!  ::returns to the TL and heads for SickBay::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The pirates rescued from the Bird of Prey are still in stasis, so we should check on the progress of the cure if we want to talk to them.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CTO: Remember to ask about the virus ....sir

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::curious about it::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Of course, that is our prime interest. However, there may not be a relation between the cases of Dauntless and the Bird of Prey.

Host Admiral_Winter says:
Action: Andromeda and Dauntless CEO's combined with parts and damage control teams from the Andromeda, the Avenger and the Dauntless rig, the Dauntless to a maximum warp speed of warp 3

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CTO: Yes sir, that is logical

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Go work with the analysis of the virus and report me of any progress or breakthroughs.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Leaves TL, entres the SickBay:: CNS: Hi Tal! Tell me the good news!

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Yes Captain. CTO/CO:If you need a telepath for the interogations, perhaps I can be of service

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: I have the cure, lets wake them up shall we

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::accesses the data for the virus from her console at the bidge::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: If the pirates prove to be unwilling to share their information, I will contact you. ::Leaves the bridge and heads for the brig section::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
*CO* Sir, the Dauntless is now capable of warp 3, I will be beaming back to the Andromeda shortly

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Go ahead! Have you told the Captain or the CSO?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: not yet I was just about to do that

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods to the CTO as he leaves::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::as the CTO leaves the bridge, slaves Tactical to his own console::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: I don't think we need telepathic assistance at the moment. They might be deceitful but that we know already.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Go ahead., tell the Captain.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Captain, I have good news. I have a cure for the virus and I'm going to wake up a pirate now to see how fast it works and what we can learn from him. All this with your permission off course.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Beams back to the Andromeda and heads back to the bridge::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* Permission granted.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Yes Captain

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CTO* Commander, the CNS has found a cure and we’re are testing it on a pirate.  Can you dispatch a small security team, just to play it safe, please?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::looks over information about the virus, searching for clues as to why it was created::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
::Steps onto the bridge and sits at engineering 1::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Aye sir, we will keep you updated XO: Then lets do this ::presses some buttons and one pirate starts to come out of stasis::

CTO Commander Senek says:
*XO* I will come myself. If your cure works, I'd like to interrogate those pirates.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::walks to the pirate and looks at the XO for a conformation to proceed::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CTO* To be honest, I was expecting just that!  Thanks and come quick, though.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Switches his destination to the sickbay::

CTO Commander Senek says:
*XO* I'll be right there.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CSO* Ensign, I thought you might like to know, the CNS has found a cure for the virus.  Your research was of great help.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::touches a few buttons on her console as she looks for another way to study the virus origin and purpose::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Arrives at the sickbay::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Welcome!  Come closer.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
*XO*Yes Sir, thank you. I have accessed all the data from the virus. The Captain wants a full analysis. Congratulations for you and the CNS on finding the cure

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO/CTO: Ready?

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
::folds arms and looks at CNS::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Go ahead, inoculate him.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Takes out his phaser, just to be on the safe side:: CNS: Yes.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: The pirate is cured but snarls at the CNS

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::grabs the pirate by the arm and starts twisting::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Pirate: I'm Commander Z'heta, XO of USS Andromeda.  You are arrested for piracy.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: The Burly Orion male pushes the CNS off

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::looses balance and hits his head on the bio bed where the pirate was in stasis::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Pirate: Easy there!!  ::Points to the CTO::  Pirate: We have a phaser locked on you.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Points his phaser at the pirate:: Pirate: Resistance is useless.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
XO: Go fly a kite

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Pirate:: Grrr....  ::makes bad klingon face::

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
CNS: I will defend myself against torture and physical duress

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Pirate: you won't be submitted to neither.  We just want some answers.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
Pirate: Realy! 
::gets up and moves to the pirate ready to defend himself::

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
XO: The CNS here is trying to twist my arm, I do know my rights

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: The repairs should be going well. Let's engage with the plotted course at warp 3.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
Pirate: This was to see if you feel pain, if it was not for me you would be dead

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir, warp 3. ::engages the engines::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: From what I can gather, the resources needed to create these virus and on the scale of a planetary corporation or government. And there is no doubt it was indeed created artificially

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Pirate: You caught a deadly virus on the BoP you took.  He's trying to save your life.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
CNS: Go take a long walk off a short pier

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
XO: I want a lawyer

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Are there any technological fingerprints that would assist in identifying the guilty party?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
Pirate: If you did not feel pain it would indicate that the cure was not strong enough and I had to add more. ::tries to calm the pirate down::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::runs the data against the database for known technologies::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Do your scans confirm that the pirate is in deed cured?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::takes his tricorder and starts scanning:: 
XO: He would be fine, in normal circumstances he will be fully cured within an hour or 2.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: From comparative tests, it is safe to conclude the technology used to create the virus was Rigellian, probably from Rigel IV

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: I see.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: The Andromeda and its fleet approach SB 50's outer navigation marker and drop to impulse

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CNS::  CTO: The prisoner is all your, Commander.  If you wish we can start interrogating him here.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Nods at the XO::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CO: We're coming up on Starbase 50, sir. Dropping to impulse.

CTO Commander Senek says:
Pirate: Now that the good status of your health has been confirmed, it's time we got some answers from you.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: The Pirate feels the warp engines disengage, thinks to himself and everyone hears a *crack* inside his mouth

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::walks away from the pirate and checks upon the status of other patients::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::compiles all data to send them as a report to Starfleet:

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Jumps a bit back from the pirate, takes out his tricorder and scans the pirate's mouth and teeth::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: prepare the cure to be administrated onto the other pirates too.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Prepare for docking.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: The Pirate slumps over dead, inside his false tooth was a highly toxic poison

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. ::prepares the docking sequence and requests permission to dock from the starbase::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::turns around fast:: CTO/XO :NO ::jumps to the pirate and starts scanning:: CTO/XO: He is dead, false tooth, and a very toxic poison

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::disconnects non essencial LRS::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks puzzled::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*Shipwide* While our ship was repaired so that all critical systems became operational, it is still in need of some big repairs. Therefore, we shall soon leave Andromeda in the hands of Starbase repair crew and go a meeting with an admiral.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods to the Captain::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS/CTO: Dang...  I'll have to report this to the Captain.  CNS: Tal, have this corpse placed on stasis and remove the false tooth on the other pirates before anything else.  CTO: Be ready to question another one..

CTO Commander Senek says:
XO: Yes.. I will be..

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Aye sir ::orders two crewmen to dispose of the body and others to start removing false teeth::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Is a bit shaken::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*Shipwide* The docking will take some time but that can go under automatical control. Everyone prepare themselves to be beamed in one minute. It will be a site-to-site transfer.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Get a lock on all senior officers.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Captain... all pirates, except those in statiss are now dead

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Captain. I acknowledge your message. Err.....  Sir, there's something I have to report... The pirate that the CNS cured, ... just died, Sir.  He committed suicide to avoid the questioning.  He had poison hidden in a false tooth, and it escaped our scans.  We're about to wake another pirate.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: USS Andromeda docks at SB 50, the Dauntless is taken into drydock as is the freighter , mobile space cranes move into position

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. ::pulls up transporter control and locks on all senior officers:: Transporter lock acquired.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Make sure that they can't attack but leave them there for now.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Energize.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Should we abort the cure and interrogation?

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::switches over to station power and stands beside his console.:: CO: Aye sir. ::presses against his console::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::starts operating on the pirates to remove the teeth showing how it is done to a MO so he can do the others::

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: The Andromeda switches over to shore power, all engines shut down as work crews begin to board the Andromeda and go about restocking, repairing and providing new data to her

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::sets all systems on docking mode::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Yes.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::sees that the MO knows all he needs to know and walks to a replicator to order some tea::

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
Action: The CNS successfully extracts all suicide teeth from the pirates

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Watches the CNS work::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::looks at his console and smacks it lightly, then activates the transporter sequence again::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO/CNS: You heard the Captain, for the time being we stand by on the cure and interrogation.

Host Pirate_WilliamTeech says:
