Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Federation Vice" 10707.01
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We rejoin our heroes and heroine back at the base
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Linda Locke is unconscious and has reverted to an energy being
 
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We resume our mission at the forest after the capture of Linda Locke and the Orion
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: I think we should get back to the Andromeda right away.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: I think we've come to the stage where we use our evidence
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Yes.
Host CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: In the shuttle, keeping her 'guests' guarded.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Let's get in the shuttle.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Gets into the shuttle::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Take the driver's seat and get us quickly back to Andromeda.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks up.::  CTO: This was not quite what I expected.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: I have a second Linda Locke here sir.... We should leave something for them to find
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Both hovercars are smoldering from the phaser fire
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: In the back.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Excellent thinking.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the CIV:: CIV: I share that thought.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO/CIV: Take the body to the scene, put it like it reminds of some authentic situation.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Lifts the fake body out and places it in Linda Locke's car::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: How do we make this look like a failed kidnapping?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are extensive phaser marks in trees where the team and the Orion exchanged fire
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: Ummm... good question.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: We have a problem here, anyone who does a detailed scan will detect the phaser signature was federation.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Perhaps this will never work out well anyway. We should just buy us more time.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: I think now that we have concrete proof that the councilmember was not actually Linda Locke, we should contact the relevant authorities and inform them of the situation.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: But given the situation, maybe it already does?  Do you want to burn the body some?  Or have it just 'tossed' aside?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Perhaps. Let's return to Andromeda first.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Let's not touch the scene anymore. Hit the pedal and take us back to Andromeda, fast.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: Accidently shot in the neck and slumped forward on the steering wheel?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: It won't hold for long once they do some serious looking into it.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Puts the body sitting normally in the seat and plants a explosive under the seat:: CIV: Lets get out of here before anyone notices
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: You realize, the signature being federation does not mean a whole lot, except maybe someone trying to place the blame on us.  After all, Federation weapons get stollen as well.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Heads back onto the shuttle.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Hops back into the shuttle and powers up the engines::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Impulse Engines on the unmarked shuttle ignite and flare
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Fire in the hole ::Presses the detonate button while flying back to the Andromeda::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Goes back and takes a look at their prisoners.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The explosive detonates as the shuttle streaks towards space crossing into outer space
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: That should distract them for a day or two at least
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Andromeda is in geosynchronous orbit
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Begins docking procedure::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene:  The energy Marshall is in the back of the shuttle taking notes
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks over at the energy cop then the captain.::  CO: They are both unconscious, but unharmed for the most part.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: Good.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The hanger bay doors open and the shuttle comes into a soft landing
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CIV: Take care of our prisoners. Put them in the brig. If they need any medical attention, use our medical facilities.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: We need to get to the bridge.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CO and opens the shuttle doors::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: I think the usual force fields in our brigs are good enough for this as well?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: Perhaps we should just beam them there?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Certainly, if they aren't in need of medical attention.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: No.  Nothing serious.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Instructs a trusted team of engineers to clean up the shuttle and repaint it with its original markings::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Fine. ::Orders the prisoners to be beamed into separate brigs::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The prisoners are beamed into different cells
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: Do you need anything from me?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Takes a turbo lift to the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Follows the CO with a slight limp::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Not right now, I think.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Engineering crew begins to repaint the shuttle
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: I will be in medical if you need me.  I want to prepare a few tests for our guests.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Linda Locke begins to stir
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Good. Keep yourself updated on their status.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Orion begins to stir
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Nods and quickly leaves, heading for one of the medical labs.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Gets to the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Arrives at the bridge, wondering why the turbo lift took so long::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: <News Report> Local Police have arrived on the scene in the forest and are beginning to explore
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Looks at other officers with a serious face::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
OPS: Open an encrypted communication channel to Admiral Law.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Quicker then expected, lets hope the evidence stands up.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Pauses and considers what she wanted.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
<OPS> CO: Opening the channel...
 
Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: How can I help you ?
Host Admiral_Law says:
::spins around in his swivel chair::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Entering the lab, nods to one of the staff and proceeds to gather a few items.  Stay simple...::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: This is Captain Sketek reporting our status.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::wishes he had a swivel chair::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: We have some very serious and important issues we need to discuss.
Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: Please continue ::strokes his beard::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Heads back out for the brig.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: We have gathered evidence that the Councilwoman Linda Locke has been dead for an extended period of time.
Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: Oh?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: We also have evidence that there is an alien creature who has been presenting herself as Linda Locke for quite some time.
Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: Please continue
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: We have, on our own authority, taken the Federation Councilwoman Linda Locke as our prisoner.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Entering the brig:: TO: I would like some medical samples from your guests.
Host Admiral_Law says:
Action: The Doctor doesnt see Linda Locke in her cell
Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: What do you propose to do ?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Turns toward the two cells and frowns.::  TO: Were not to prisoners beamed here?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: We also have a reason to believe that Linda Locke, or to put it properly, the creature presenting as Linda Locke, has been involved with the dealing of Omega particle to third-party agents.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CTO*: Sir... I need you in the brig.
Host Admiral_Law says:
<TO>: Dr: Yes I have the Orion here and um ::looks confused::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Considers:: *CTO*: And maybe the energy cop.
Host Admiral_Law says:
CO: How do you wish to proceed?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
*CIV*: I'll be there right away. What's the problem?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Leaves for the brig::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: We propose that Federation will conduct a serious investigation in this matter and help us resolve the situation where we have likely exceeded our authority to act.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CTO*: Hopefully one of our guests only playing hide and seek in their cell.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
*CIV*: Sounds like the worst case scenario is considerably more unpleasant than that.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Energy being: You know... it really would be rather easy to just flood your cell with phaser fire.  I gather unconscious you cannot maintain your form.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Waits for the turbolift to arrive at its destination::
Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: Since you have an alien in custody and a spy, I believe you are operating within Intelligence authority, I will brief my superiors, gain as much information as you can and report back
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Energy being: I always found being hit by a phaser the pits.
Host Admiral_Law says:
Action: The CTO arrives at the brig level
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Walks into the brig section:: CIV: Well?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: Excellent. I look forward to hearing from you. Sketek out.
Host Admiral_Law says:
Action: The Orion begins banging against the forcefield in his cell
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Shakes her head:: CTO: I think they are still here, but using their ability to be something else.  I am not familiar with your brig, so I cannot tell you what does not belong.
Host Admiral_Law says:
<Orion> All: Let me out!!!!!!!!
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks at the orion for only a moment.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Notives that the energy being doesn't appear to be there::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: If the last situation is the same, I would suggest flooding the cell with phaser fire.  It should revert.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Let's see..
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Orion: Shut up, you. ::Gets to a console and does a complete scan of the brigs::
Host Admiral_Law says:
Action: The sensors are having problems scanning Linda Lockes cell
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*EnergyCop*: If you are available, I believe your assistance would be of help.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Sits down on the Captain's chair, thinking of all the possible consequences::
Host Admiral_Law says:
<Orion> All: This is kidnapping! Let me out!  Criminals!
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Orion: Pot calling the kettle black?
Host Admiral_Law says:
<EnergyCop> *Dr* On my way
Host Admiral_Law says:
<Orion> ::frowns at the Dr::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: smiles::
Host Admiral_Law says:
<Orion> Dr: Not so tough behind a forcefield
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::So concentrated on the conversation with the Admiral, suddenly he notices all the other senior officers have left the bridge::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Orion: This is true... you are behind the forcefield and not so tough.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Sensors aren't working properly... but let's wait for the specialist before trying to flush it out.
 
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: That is probably a clue right there.
Host EnergyCop says:
::arrives at the brig in his energy form and another ham sandwich in hand::
Host EnergyCop says:
All: Gosh your food here is great
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: seeing the sandwich, wonders how much food these beings needed.::
Host EnergyCop says:
All: Ok lets get to business ::wolfs down his snack::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
*CTO* Why did you leave the bridge?
Host EnergyCop says:
::looks at the brig::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Points the cop to the empty cell.::
Host EnergyCop says:
CTO: Shes not in there
 
Host EnergyCop says:
All: Lets run down how you captured me
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
::frowns.::  EnergyCop: How can that be?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
*CO* It very much appears like the impersonator has escaped somehow..
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the captain on hearing this::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
*CTO* Escaped? Use all the resources you can to find her.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Has no idea how it was captured, only the condition they brought him to her.::
Host EnergyCop says:
All: You surrounded me in an energy field
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Assist the CTO in finding our spy. Use all scans and whatever we have.
Host EnergyCop says:
All; This brig has a containment field on one side and solid wall on three
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
EnergyCop: It can go through solid objects?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Brings up ship internal sensors and beings scanning the ship and checking computer access logs::
Host EnergyCop says:
All : As you know we can shapeshift and are made totally of energy
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Shakes her head in frustration.::
Host EnergyCop says:
All: The good news is that she is on the ship and probably very weak
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
EnergyCop: Right. Well, now we just have to find her again.
Host EnergyCop says:
All: She likely expended a great deal of energy and is looking for a fuel source
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
EnergyCop: And how do we find her?  She passed tests to prove she was Linda to begin with.
Host EnergyCop says:
All : I will adjust your sensors to detect hydrogen fusion at the subatomic level
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
EnergyCop: Ummm... regular food?
Host EnergyCop says:
Dr: I believe she will be trying to go for your hydrogen supply in your impulse engine storage
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CEO*: I would suggest you shut down all replicators.  And be prepared for a possible guest near the impulse engines.
Host EnergyCop says:
::moves to a panel and begins to adjust sensors::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks at Senek::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Gets annoyed and begins shutting down all replicators and erects forcefields around warp core and hyrdogen storage::
Host EnergyCop says:
Action: Sensors begin to reboot
Host EnergyCop says:
Action: Two long minutes pass and then sensors begin to detect two sources of micro hydrogen fusion
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Watches the sensors::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Looking at sensor output::
Host EnergyCop says:
Action: One is in the brig area and one is on deck 15
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks around Seneks shoulder in confusion.::
Host EnergyCop says:
All: I will now eliminate my signature
Host EnergyCop says:
::punches some buttons::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: to herself::  Ahhh...
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Its on deck 15, we should erect forcefields around it
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Do so.
Host EnergyCop says:
Action;: ok there she is
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Erects forcefields all around the signature on deck 15::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
*CEO* Can you beam it directly back to the brig?
Host EnergyCop says:
Action: Forcefields go up on deck 15
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
*CTO* I'll try
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Modifies the transporter scanners to detect the hydrogen fusion and tries beam it back to the brig::
Host EnergyCop says:
Action: Linda Locke materializes in the brig quite frustrated
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
*CTO* You might want to put up some better containment in the brig
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Activates force fields in the brig so that the creature is completely contained::
Host EnergyCop says:
<LindaLocke> All: How did you...notices the energy cop:: ...I see
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
*CEO* Yes, I learned my lesson.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: watches curiously::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Hearing the communication:: CEO: I trust you got her.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Locke: Your escape wouldn't have been very successful anyway. There's no escaping this ship, and we would have found you sooner or later.
Host EnergyCop says:
LindaLocke: Under the authority of the Nexian Government I place you under arrest for intergalactic terrorism, misuse of an Omega Particle, espionage and assassinate of a Federation Councilman and Linda Locke
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Indeed, that could of been a situation if we hadn't managed to recapture it
Host EnergyCop says:
CTO: I now make formal request to take my prisoner into custody
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Yes. Good work.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
EnergyCop: Granted.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looked at the CTO... that seemed... to easy::
 Host EnergyCop says:
