<<<<Resume Mission "Idol Threats">>>>

CSec_Powers says:
::In the turbolift, on the way to Operations::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
Ops: Someone give me a full sensor readout. What is it made of? Any machinary inside?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues to try and get more info from the scans ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
Ops: How about that energy burst, any danger to the station or personnel?
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, at the moment the idol doesn't appear to be harming anyone or anything
EO_Baggins says:
:: on the bridge at Tac ::
EO_Baggins says:
:: heres the ACO and runs a scan ::
CSec_Powers says:
::Arrives in Operations, taking the scene in, seeing the... thing.. on the viewscreen::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: Correct, not at the moment, what about in the future. I need information.
CSec_Powers says:
::Looks around for the CTO, wondering where the Commander is::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Not being a Tactical officer, but just by assuming alone.  I am sure it could be a threat if wanted to.  There has to be some reason others have fired on it
EO_Baggins says:
ACO : no damage to the station
CNS_Cook says:
::wonders where Baggins has been, didn't he just say that::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::thinks a moment:: CNS: General hail, whatever friendly message you deem appropriate.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir it appears to be made of a coral like substance, It also appears to not have been carved but grown one cellular-like piece at a time. It may be millennia old, maybe 15000 years.
CNS_Cook says:
::brings up the communications console and beings hailing the object with different languages and on different frequencies::
CSec_Powers says:
::Scratches his chin... coral like substance.  Wonder why none of the weapons ever affected it before... moves to the tactical station and tries to scan the pockmarks all over the idol::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, I am getting no response
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: Worth the try. CSO: Any data on internal structure?
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: So far Sir all I know is it's hollow, I'm having a bit of trouble penetrating it with our sensors.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Any automated drones in the area that we can send in for a closer look?
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Checking Sir
EO_Baggins says:
ACO : I have also tried to penetrate the idol and had no luck
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, even though I didn't get a response when hailed, I do sense that is aware to some extent. I cant really put my finger on it, but there is defiantly something over there
CSec_Powers says:
ACO: Sir, I'm getting readings from the weapon marks... there are almost every kind of residue imaginable... the massive damage shows no weapons residue, so they would have to be stellar phenomena.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir I've dispatched one of our drones to try and get us a better look. 

ACTION: As the probe approaches the idol, it sends out several bluish beams which play over the probe's surface for a few moments, then cease.

CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Well it seems interested in the probes
CSec_Powers says:
ACO: Although, I'm not reading any matter/antimatter reactions.  Exposing anything to antimatter would leave larger pockmarks.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: You sense something... what, I need a little more.

ACTION: Incoming Transmission.

CNS_Cook says:
::looks down:: ACO: I have an incoming transmission
EO_Baggins says:
ACO : I believe that i may be able to update the sensors from engineering and get us some answers
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir, the probes providing no new information.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: Put that transmission through first, everyone else hold on.
EO_Baggins says:
:: looks at the view screen ::
CNS_Cook says:
::puts the message on the main viewer::

ACTION: A grinning Ferengi appears on the screen.

Host DaimonAkon says:
COMM: Arcadia: ACO: Ahhh, Captain.  So good to speak with you.  I am Daimon Akon of the Paragon of Industry.  Our sensors show that a large object has appeared near your station.  We have an interest in this and will be there shortly.
CSec_Powers says:
::Almost goes for his phaser rifle... darn Ferengi::
EO_Baggins says:
:: looks at a ferengi ::
CNS_Cook says:
::thinks great this is just what we needed - Ferengi intervention::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
COMM: PoI: We have no need for your assistance, unless you've encountered this vessel before.
Host DaimonAkon says:
COMM: Arcadia: ACO: Well you see, by preview of the Ferengi Salvage code, I have ownership of this statue.  It is mine.  I am coming to claim it.  ::Grins::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::rubs forehead:: COMM: PoI: You have no jurisdiction within this area of space... I suggest you go home, Daimon.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: End transmission.
Host DaimonAkon says:
COMM: Arcadia: ACO: The code explicitly states that I, as Daimon, have the right to take ownership of any abandoned property I find.  Much like that statue.  And, furthermore, you are obligated by the Starfleet-Ferengi ....

ACTION: The Daimon is cut off

CNS_Cook says:
::cuts the transmission::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: What is that drone showing?
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Just a better close up view, but not any new information.
EO_Baggins says:
ACO : Sir, can I head to engineering to do some scans
CSec_Powers says:
::Wonders why the Commander didn't listen to the Ferengi... they might have removed it for us::
CSec_Powers says:
ACO: Commander, can I speak to you for a moment?
CNS_Cook says:
CSO: You said that the object was hollow, could we beam the drone inside the idol
Host ACO_Claymore says:
EO: Begin your scans.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CNS: I wouldn't see why not, It is worth a try.
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, the Ferengi keep hailing us, should I send them a message?
EO_Baggins says:
ACO : thank you sir
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSec: What is it?
EO_Baggins says:
:: turns and heads to engineering ::
CSec_Powers says:
::Motions the ACO over, not knowing how he might take a suggestion in complete open public::
EO_Baggins says:
:: heads to engineering ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::walks over to the CSec:: CSec: Yes?
EO_Baggins says:
:: arrives in engineering ::
CNS_Cook says:
::decides to send the Ferengi a text message saying "until further investigation can be completed, no one will be allowed to claim owner ship of this object, and all ships should keep a safe distance from it and the station.::
CSec_Powers says:
::Whispering:: ACO: Sir, I respectfully suggest we take the Ferengi up on the matter.  We have no data on this... thing... and it could be potentially harmful.  If it proves to be hostile, and the Ferengi have taken it away... I'm not suggesting we let the Ferengi blindly take it just to have it off our hands, just maybe let them help investigate.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Tries to beam a drone inside the statue but to no avail. :: CNS: It was a good try but it failed.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSec: Beyond man power, the Ferengi have no way to help us, in fact it is more likely that they'll get in the way.
EO_Baggins says:
:: stands at a station and patches into the main sensor array ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSec: My decision on the Ferengi stands.
CNS_Cook says:
::shrugs:: CNS: Oh well
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::walks away::
CSec_Powers says:
ACO: Understood.  ::Knew he wouldn't understand the hidden message::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Any luck with that transporter?
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Negative Sir, for some reason the drone was not allowed to pass through the idol.
CNS_Cook says:
CSO: Was the drone destroyed or just not allowed to pass though?
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Well let's try the old fashion way, did we happen to find a door or opening, even a small crack into the center-- we have micro-probes after all.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CNS: Just not allowed to pass.
CSec_Powers says:
::Begins scans to determine if the thing has shields::
EO_Baggins says:
:: turns to another station and recalibrates the sensors to determine the idols hull structure ::
CNS_Cook says:
::focuses his mind on the awareness he was sensing and seeing if he can communicate with it that away::
CSec_Powers says:
ACO: Sir, I must point out that anything we sent to the statue may be interpreted as hostile.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir my scans didn't produce any holes in the idol at all.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSec: We sent the drone over, and even tried to transport it in--- both are potentially hostile actions.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::shakes head in disbelief:: CNS: I need a way to communicate, if you can give me anything at all?
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: So far I haven't found even the slightest way in Sir.
CSec_Powers says:
::Thinks to himself that Claymore would make a bad tactical officer::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, I have even tried connecting with it telepathically, and still nothing.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: Anything you require that might help increase your telepathic range... get closer?
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Well getting closer might help ::wonders and worries how that might be done::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Or another possibility is that the surface is also blocking my abilities like it is the sensors
EO_Baggins says:
:: looks at the scans and finds that the coral like substance ::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: If I could ::pauses for a moment:: get inside of it, I might be able to communicate
CNS_Cook says:
::cant believe he just said that, because that would mean going over there., but it is to late to take that back::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
ALL: Ok, here we go. CNS, CSec, and EO take a shuttle over to the statue.--- CNS I know you are the senior officer, but I'm placing the CSec in command because you'll be in contact with an unknown entity, I trust you understand.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices something coming on the sensors :: ACO: Sir, I'm receiving a large amount of tachyons forming at a point 25000 meters from the station and 20000 meters from the statue.

ACTION: Suddenly, a D'Deredix class warbird decloaks at the point of the emissions.  Almost immediately it hails the station.

CSec_Powers says:
::Begins scanning the area the CSO indicated, and sees the Romulan warbird... what could they want?::
EO_Baggins says:
:: heads to the shuttle bay ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::wonders how the Romulans got in on this little party:: Anyone: Main Viewer.
Host Obolos says:
COMM: Arcadia: ACO: Arcadia station, I am commander Obolos of the Imperial ship Ka'Ja.  We are here to destroy this enemy alien vessel.  Do not interfere.
CSec_Powers says:
::Gives the tactical console back to the TO that was there, and heads towards the shuttle bay.  He holds the turbolift for the CNS::
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Main view screen.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
COMM: Obolos: HOLD IT? What gives you the right to come into Federation space and start destroying our unknown objects! ::feels stupid for saying that::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: ::enters the TL::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Wonders who invited the Ferengi and Romulans to our little party we have here ::
CSec_Powers says:
::Lets the doors close after the CNS gets in::
EO_Baggins says:
*ACO*: sir i believe I can penetrate the idol using a subspace band ::
CNS_Cook says:
CSec: Great now the Rolumans have joined the party, what could happen next
Host Obolos says:
COMM: Arcadia: ACO: ::Smirks slightly the becomes serious::  This craft engaged in espionage activities against my vessel at our last...stop.  We tracked it here.  Now we shall destroy it.  Perhaps it is a Federation spying device?
CSec_Powers says:
CNS: Sir, even though Commander Claymore placed me in command, I will follow your lead and orders.
CNS_Cook says:
CSec:  Well he has good reason to play you in command, there is no telling what will happen if I connect with the object
Host ACO_Claymore says:
COMM: Obolos: I'm trying to figure out what it is still, I wish I could claim it looks kinda of... interesting. If the Romulan Star Empire would like to help us analyze it?
Host ACO_Claymore says:
*Away Team*: Please hold off on disembarking for a moment.
CSec_Powers says:
*ACO*: Aye, sir.
EO_Baggins says:
:: arrive at the shuttle :: *CSec*: I believe when we get there I can penetrate the idol using a subspace band
Host Obolos says:
COMM: Arcadia: ACO: Analyze it?  We do not care what you wish.  I am here to destroy it.  It is what we do to spies in the empire.
CNS_Cook says:
::exits the TL and heads to the shuttle bay::
CSec_Powers says:
*EO*: That's a good idea.  Begin working on modifying the shuttle's sensors now until we get there and are given the word to take off.
CSec_Powers says:
::Follows the CNS to the shuttle bay::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
COMM: Obolos: If you fire upon that object while it is within Federation Space I may have to take that as a sign that the Empire wishes to start a war with the Federation.
CNS_Cook says:
::enters the shuttle bay::
Host Obolos says:
COMM: Arcadia: ACO: ::Sits back and pauses, obviously thinking it over::  Very well Commander.  You have 24 hours to reconsider.  Then, we will see to it that the secrets it stole are never revealed.  Be warned, any attempt to transmit a message to your headquarters will make me believe you are in league with the statue and I will react accordingly.  You will not be allowed to pass on what it has learned to your superiors.  24 hours Commander.  ::Ends the transmission::
CSec_Powers says:
::Enters the shuttle bay and walks to the shuttle:: EO: How are the modifications going?
EO_Baggins says:
:: gets into the shuttle and starts to modify sensors ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
Self: Life is lovely.
CNS_Cook says:
::wonders what is keeping Claymore so long.:: *ACO* Sir, we are about ready down here, have you dealt with the Romulans yet?
EO_Baggins says:
:: starts by patching into the shuttles sensor array :: CSec : sir I am almost complete
Host ACO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: You have a go for your mission, but I have to modify the original orders. Don't leave the envelope of the station's shields.
EO_Baggins says:
Csec : Romulans?  What?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps a lock on the idol and now on the Romulans. ::
CSec_Powers says:
EO: We have a Romulan warbird knocking on our doorstep.
EO_Baggins says:
:: thinks this is getting better and better ::
