<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..

XO_Claymore says:
::sitting in the CO's chair::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::in the cargo hold shielding her eyes from the bright light::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Sitting at his station waiting ::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::starts following Samuel out of the cargo hold::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::watches as the pirates approach::

CMO_Cook says:
@:standing next to Heather, covering his eyes as the light shines though::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::is a touch nervous, hates undercover missions::

CIV_Charn says:
@::deciding if to look extremely proud or suitably scared, cannot make up her mind yet::

CMO_Cook says:
@::tries to see if he can sense anything from the dark figure::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::contains an urge to wipe the smug grin off one of the men, trying to look properly dejected as befits a slave::

XO_Claymore says:
CSO: any idea how large the betting pool is on when this mission ends?

Host Samuel says:
@Morgan: Do not worry, I will endeavor to keep you together and sold as a group.  there is one buyer I know that would take all of you.

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: I would say quite large Sir.

CIV_Charn says:
@::throws a sideways glance towards the captain::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::wonders if this guy Sam can read minds or if that was an educated guess::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::tries to put a proper amount of sarcasm into his voice:: Samuel:  You are far to kind, Sir.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Bellows a deep laugh, and returns to his duties::

Host Samuel says:
@::turns suddenly and gets right in Morgan's face:: Morgan: Watch your tone, slave, or you shall have your tongue cut out!

XO_Claymore says:
::knows a pool is going on, but is too preoccupied to work on it. Wishes the counselor were available to take care of it::

CIV_Charn says:
@::guess the sarcasm amount was not considered proper::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::decidedly concerned::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::after making eye contact, bows his head and looks suitably cowed::  Samuel:  Yes, sir...forgive me.  I forgot my Station in life.

Host Samuel says:
@::turns back as if Morgan has said nothing and resumes leading them out of the cargo hold and through the small ship.::

CIV_Charn says:
@::wishes she was taping this::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::follows::

CMO_Cook says:
@::follows the group::

XO_Claymore says:
CSO: anything new to report on sensors?

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: follows the group keeping eyes open::

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Things are as clear as ever Sir.

XO_Claymore says:
CSO: are you able to receive passive information on the station's structure?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After a short walk through the ship, the group comes to an airlock and the one named Samuel cycles the opening.

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: I can tell that there is work being done to the station. But other then that not much.

CIV_Charn says:
@::stops walking and waits for the airlock to open::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::watches impassively as the airlock is opened, making sure to remember the security sequence to open it::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After the airlock cycles, the group moves through and into a large, dimly lit, damp and very smelly chamber...presumably part of the station.  There is a tall Romulan standing in front of the group.

CIV_Charn says:
@::spots her several times removed cousin... uh oh::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::waits, sees Romulan... gets more worried::

XO_Claymore says:
CSO: keep trying your best, if one of the other positions we can go to would help just say the word. I don't want to stick around long when we have to go in there

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::rather surprised by the presence of the Romulan.  Wondering what other things might be in store::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Samuel moves off to speak to the Romulan in private.

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Understood. I'll let you know.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The conversation ends and Samuel returns to the front of the group.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: moves into room and wonders about the Romulan::

Host Samuel says:
@Rommie: This is the group I told you about, sire.

XO_Claymore says:
::decides to run over ship status reports on his arm console::

Tolen says:
@::raises an eyebrow, and looks over the group, slowly::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::keeps quiet, looks down::

Tolen says:
@::walks to one end of the group, then begins pacing along, looking at each of them::

Tolen says:
@::stops abruptly at the SO, and looks her over::

Host Samuel says:
@::moves out of the Romulan's way as he catches the thugs moving about in the shadows::

CMO_Cook says:
@::This reminds Donnie of the academy day's standing in line and having someone pace up and down looking them over::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::holds still::

CMO_Cook says:
@::Looks up when Tolen stops in front of Heather::

CIV_Charn says:
@::stays quiet, trying to not look directly towards Heather::

Tolen says:
@SO: What are you called? ::grumbles::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::watches the Romulan while seeming impassive::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@Tolen: ::softly:: Heather.

Tolen says:
@::looks over at the CIV as well, and grins::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::senses Donnie's concern, but does her level best not to react::

Tolen says:
@::glances at Samuel:: Samuel: Are these two extra?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::decides that if things get nasty, the Romulan goes down first::

CIV_Charn says:
@::raises an eyebrow at the comment, making sure she does not look at the Romulan no matter what::

Host Samuel says:
@Rom: They are a part of the package price we discussed earlier.

CIV_Charn says:
@::wonders how much they could be worth... then decides she would rather not know::

Host Samuel says:
@Rom: They are only females after all.  They have limited uses.

Tolen says:
@::very suddenly, claps hands together, grinning:: Samuel: Excellent!

CIV_Charn says:
@::breathes in... out... counts to 1,000 and decides she will kill Samuel when it's all over::

Tolen says:
@Samuel: True, true.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues to do what forms of scans he can do while under grey ::

CIV_Charn says:
@::glances towards Heather, wondering how she's faring::

CNS_Savar says:
::Continues walking the halls of the ship, stopping in the rec. room and mess hall to talk to crew::

Tolen says:
@::walks over to the CO, looks him over, then deals him a fairly powerful blow to the arm::

XO_Claymore says:
::let's impatience take over:: *CNS*: Bridge to Counselor...

CNS_Savar says:
*XO*: Savar here, Commander.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The CO is knocked off balance, but does not fall.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Opens up his studies on the flight patterns of intergalactic fire breathing pigeons ::

CIV_Charn says:
@::inwardly flinches as she sees the blow against John::

XO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: Are you currently alone?

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::watches room trying to spot any one out there::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::rubs the arm, and holds back the impulse to return the favor, while he straightens...yep the Romulan definitely is disposable.::

CNS_Savar says:
::Glances around the hallway:: *XO*: Yes.

Tolen says:
@::grins widely:: Self: Oh, very nice.  Resilient, strong.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::purposefully does not react...Thinks: slaves get beaten all the time::

XO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: good, I wanted to see if you knew where the betting pool was currently being held. Most of these missions have one going on, it's usually my duty to take care of them but I am unable to.

CNS_Savar says:
*XO*: Actually, sir, I am unaware of any betting pools.

Tolen says:
@::continues along to the CEO:: CEO: What was your previous job?

CNS_Savar says:
*XO*: They may be keeping that information away from me.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@Tolen: freighter engineer sir

XO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: As they usually do from me. If you find out anything, I trust you know how to handle it

Tolen says:
@::sarcastically:: CEO: A Freighter engineer?

CNS_Savar says:
*XO*: Aye, sir.  Anything else?  Do you need me on the Bridge?

Tolen says:
@Samuel: You didn't give me a stupid one, did you?!?

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::hears tone in Tolens voice, thinks: Uh-oh::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@Tolen: yes sir I worked as an engineer on a freighter

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::inwardly winces::

CIV_Charn says:
@::glances worriedly at McDuggle::

Host Samuel says:
@Tolen: ::looks fearful:: No!  Sir!  Never!

Tolen says:
@CEO: Shut up! ::turns back to Samuel::

XO_Claymore says:
::looks around the bridge:: *CNS*: Actually I'm short when it comes to the command staff. If you'll join us and take Conn. again, it would balance things.

CNS_Savar says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.  On my way.

Tolen says:
@Samuel: Hmm...good.  They are acceptable.  Let's move them.

Host Samuel says:
@::cowers a bit under the Romulan's glare::

CIV_Charn says:
@::oh great, they were finally sold::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::wondering where the Romulan fits into the scheme of things in the Orion organization...or if he even does::

Host Samuel says:
@Tolen:  Yes sir.  ::moves to him and hands him a PADD:: Just sign here and the latinum will be transferred.

CNS_Savar says:
::Enters a Turbolift, and heads towards the bridge::

Tolen says:
@::takes the PADD with a grin, and finalizes the transfer::

XO_Claymore says:
CSO: By the time the counselor gets up here it should be time to move to the next position, have you gathered all you can from this vantage or do you think you could gain more by staying?

Host Samuel says:
@Tolen: They are all yours, Sire.  ::melts into the shadows::

MO_Calahan says:
::takes a moment to relax  with a cappuccino in hand::

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO:  I quite sure we're done here Sir. Lets move.

Tolen says:
@::looks into the darkness at seemingly nothing, but at that moment, several big tough Romulans emerge and surround the group::

CIV_Charn says:
@::counts the thugs again, wondering what comes next::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: Have you picked up any targets?

CNS_Savar says:
::The TL doors open onto the bridge::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: ten large Romulans, in civilian dress and carrying rifles surround the slaves.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::wonders where they are going to take all of them... wants to reach out to Donnie, but firmly holds herself back both physically and mentally::

CNS_Savar says:
::Walks out:: XO: Reporting back.

CMO_Cook says:
@::glances at the Romulans, but quickly lowers head::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::pleased to see that he estimated the number of thugs skulking in the shadows correctly, though wishes he might have erred a bit on the long side.

XO_Claymore says:
::turns back to see the CNS:: CNS: Take your station, Mr. Savar. Get yourself set up and then move us to the next position.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: As Tolen leads, the guards push the group down a corridor and towards another airlock.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::willingly goes where the group leads::

CIV_Charn says:
@::as one of the guards push her, she grabs Heather's arms to prevent falling::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::helps support Jadis::

CIV_Charn says:
@SO: Sorry for that ::whispers as she lets go of her arm::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: heads down corridor not liking being pushed::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Aye.  ::Moves to the Conn., and takes the seat as the replacement moves out.  After resetting the terminal to personal, efficient preferences, sets course to the next point and engages::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods at her::

MO_Calahan says:
::sips cappuccino and closes her eyes, sighing::

CIV_Charn says:
@::smiles gratefully at Heather for a fraction of a second::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Heading 135 mark 75, one quarter impulse.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::keeps himself impassive as Jadis is pushed, better not to show any trace of concern so that it can't be used against them later::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The group is lead, single file through the airlock and into a modern, runabout sized, Romulan vessel.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::gets extremely worried now::

Tolen says:
@::passes through the airlock boards the small ship.  He whispers something to an additional guard waiting there, and he moves off to take the helm::

CIV_Charn says:
@::looks around... this does not sound like their original plan::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::still wondering about the Romulan tie, but takes the opportunity to look over the vessel without being noticed::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The guards manacle the slaves to the bulkheads and turn to stare at them.  A few even leer at the females.

CIV_Charn says:
@::definitely hating this::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::suppresses the feeling of resentment::

MO_Calahan says:
::drinks her cappuccino and picks up a patient report to look over::

CIV_Charn says:
@::realizes also that a couple of deep breaths could be problematic due to her outfit::

Tolen says:
@::takes a seat safely at the front, next to the pilot, and looks back at the group, and grins:: Shuttle Pilot: You know where to go.  Let's get out of here.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::wonders where they are headed to now  and not liking the shackles::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Thomas is now picking up the away team's implant signatures

XO_Claymore says:
::thinks a moment:: CSO: have we closely examined the ion trails in this area

XO_Claymore says:
::hears a beeping sound:: CNS: Counselor?

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Picking up implant signatures... it's the away team.

CIV_Charn says:
@::bites her lower lip, looking around at the others. None dare speak... but none can be liking this relocation too much::

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Yes Sir

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::beginning to think that this mission may be getting away from them.  Chalks it up to usual good SFI planning::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: Is it the emergency signal?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The AT feels the ship move for about 20 minutes.  The Romulans say nothing the whole time.  USS Thomas detects the launch of a freighter from the station.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::doesn't feel the tell tale inertial blip that goes with translating to Warp, so still must be in the system...for the moment.  Question is where they are headed for...::

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Sir we're picking up a launch from the station, It's a freighter.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: No, it was not.  It's simply the normal frequency of the transponder

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::tries not to be so concerned about what she thinks she may be sensing from the Romulans, but is none too happy::

CMO_Cook says:
@::tries to scan the Romulans, but not so much that they may sense someone in there head or who it is coming from::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: good, is the signal coming from the station or that freighter

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::tries to see what he can on the consoles::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: The freighter.

CIV_Charn says:
@::her shackles make some clinking noises as she unsuccessfully tries to ease the numb feeling::

XO_Claymore says:
::rubs the bridge of his nose:: Self: that wasn't supposed to happen

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After 20 minutes of travel, the freighter docks inside a nearby asteroid.  he Thomas is able to track it the entire way.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: Plot their course so we know where they go

CIV_Charn says:
@::wonders if there's an actual reason why Dr. Cook looks like he was somewhere else, or if it is all part of his slave facade::

MO_Calahan says:
::finishes reading over a few reports, and turns to a new set of PADDs to update records of the most recent patients they've had::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::deciding that being shackled is an unpleasant experience, rather hoping it doesn't go on for long::

Tolen says:
@::rises from his chair and looks at the group::

CNS_Savar says:
::Begins following the ion trail of the ship, using tactical scans::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::sees Tolan approaching::

CIV_Charn says:
@::wonders if it shows she's never been shackled in her life::

Tolen says:
@::while the slaves are still shackled, he walks past them to the entrance of the ship:: Guards: Bring them.  I think he will be pleased with our findings.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The guards unshackle the slaves and begin herding them out the airlock.

CMO_Cook says:
@::looks up at Tolan, making eye contact for a brief second but quickly lowers head::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: The ship has entered an asteroid.  I've got the position of the asteroid, and science should be able to plot the course of the asteroid.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::keeps looking docile and meek and follows::

CIV_Charn says:
@::glances towards Morgan... "He" will be pleased...?::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::follows the group::

Tolen says:
@::walks proudly down a corridor, the guards and slaves behind him::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: are we still receiving their implant signals?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::stands and works the kinks out of his arms as he follows the guards, happy they seem to be in the same system, perhaps the mission isn't a wash yet.::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The slaves are herded down the corridor after Tolen and into a very large chamber that looks like it has been carved out of an asteroid by phaser fire.

CMO_Cook says:
@::glances around as they walk::

CIV_Charn says:
@::looks around the cavern-like room, before resuming the supposedly correct attention towards where she steps::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::wonders at the amount of effort taken to carve out inside of the asteroid, and how it was done basically right under their noses::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: looks around room quite impressed::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: The signal is coming in faintly, probably due to the metallic content of the asteroid.  Science could further expand on which metals.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::walks near Donnie for the most part, hoping to keep calm by just being near him::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Along the far wall is a large bulk of an Orion male sitting on a lavish throne with several slave girls hanging all over him.

XO_Claymore says:
CSO: Make sure we can transport through that asteroid. CNS: Can we move in closer ::---said oddly:: to the asteroid

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Acknowledged

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::sees the large harem.. Thinks: Oh my...::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Runs tests on the metals detected from the Asteroid ::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::wonders if this is the Orion they've been sent to bring in::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: It would be physically possible to move closer to the asteroid, yes.  Tactical could tell you if we could move in undetected.

Host AlaBin says:
@::Sees the Romulan enter with his purchase::

CIV_Charn says:
@::looks at Heather, they are probably going to have to use the feather fans on that guy::

XO_Claymore says:
::looks back at Tactical:: LTO: Well... can we move in undetected?

Tolen says:
@::walks up to the Orion with a grin:: AlaBin: Mr. AlaBin, I've looked forward to seeing you.  I have what you asked for. ::sneaky looking grin::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::doesn’t like the grin he sees on the Romulan::

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Sir we can transport into the asteroid but it will be an extended process, and at a higher risk of accident.

XO_Claymore says:
<LTO>XO: Unknown, only passive sensors are active.

Host AlaBin says:
@Tolen: ::in a deep, booming voice::  Everything seems to be in order, Mr. Tolen.   All except for one small thing....

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::hears the name.... Thinks: This is our guy?::

CIV_Charn says:
@::swallows... that phrase's ending does not bode well::

Tolen says:
@::his grin does not go away, but it is not as big:: AlaBin: Mmm yes?

XO_Claymore says:
::shakes his head:: CNS, CSO: What do you think, should we chance it and use a short burst of active sensors?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::thinks...here it comes::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::waits for it::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Before the Romulan can react, Ala'Bin thrusts a large Klingon knife into his chest.

MO_Calahan says:
::takes another sip of cappuccino::

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: I think it's worth a try.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The guards, at seeing this, bow to Ala'Bin.

CIV_Charn says:
@::instinctively steps back as the knife flies towards Tolen::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::well...he figured the Romulan would go first...::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::thinks this can't be good::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::Thinks: guess he did not want to pay::

Tolen says:
@::falls to his knees, coughing, holding his chest, then speaks in a muffled whisper:: AlaBin: Good....doing business....with...you... ::falls to the ground with a slight wheeze, and then goes silent::

Host AlaBin says:
@::moves to retrieve his knife and motions for the guards to dispose of the body.  Then mumbles something about paying the guards well.

Host AlaBin says:
@::walks towards the group of new slaves, glancing at the females.::

Host AlaBin says:
@::walks around the group, taking the measure of each of them::

CIV_Charn says:
@::makes sure she misses no detail on the rockish floor::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: and you, do you think we should attempt an active sensor scan?

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::Thinks: ok here goes the inspection again.... , looks at the floor::

Host AlaBin says:
@::finally stops his tour of the slaves right in front of Morgan::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::keeps a close eve on AlaBin while not seeming to::

Tolen says:
@::dead, dragged out of the room by a guard::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: We must weight the safety of the AT against the fact that they are considered expendable on this mission.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::wondering if this is the part he's been worried about...::

Host AlaBin says:
@::stares at Morgan for several long seconds::

Host AlaBin says:
@Morgan: So.....::takes a deep breath::....

CIV_Charn says:
@::holds her breath::

XO_Claymore says:
::sighs, then goes back to another line:: CSO: That Romulan ship we saw earlier, was it's ion trial in those previous scans?

Host AlaBin says:
@Morgan: ....We finally meet, Commander Morgan.

CIV_Charn says:
@::closes her eyes tightly for a moment::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::shocked by what he just heard::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::figure what the heck::  AlaBin:...That's Captain.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::Thinks: Oh !!!!::

CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: No Sir the ion trail wasn't on the scans
