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

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Watching the sensors, keeping a tab on things ::

Obolos says:
::warbird lurking off to the side::

AXO_Danforth says:
::at his station on in operations::

CNS_Cook says:
@::waits to see if the idol is going to respond to his statement::

CTO_Mrlr says:
#::approaching Arcadia Station and wondering why there is a large statue and several ships surrounding it::

CSec_Powers says:
::Working down in the docking bays.  Has a team watching the Klingon ship, and other teams spread out amongst the other bays, preparing for the evacuating civilians::

Host Trennar says:
::Enters the briefing room with several of his followers and sees Ferengi already there.::

CSec_Powers says:
::Takes a position inside the Briefing room, his phaser held non-menacingly, but definitely in sight to let the Klingons know he's in charge::

CNS_Cook says:
@::looks around the room, and tries sending his message again.  Hoping  that the idol will give him some kind of response::

Host Trennar says:
::Bows to the Starfleet officer and then semi-glares at the Ferengi::  CIV: Greetings.  We were told to wait here for your Commanding officer.

Daimon_Akon says:
::sees the Klingon enter and wonders how much of a cut he would want of the profits::

CSec_Powers says:
Trennar: That would be most helpful.

CSec_Powers says:
::Silently adds that anything else he does will be most unwise::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::Waited long enough:: *CNS*: Any response?

Host Trennar says:
CIV: What would be most helpful?

CNS_Cook says:
@::takes a deep breath:: *ACO* Not yet, maybe it is thinking

CSec_Powers says:
Trennar: Waiting peacefully here for the Commanding Officer.

CTO_Mrlr says:
#COM: Arcadia Station: This is the shuttle USS Gitalong.  Request permission to dock.

AXO_Danforth says:
::passively getting a lock on all the other ships nearby, but concentrating on the Romulan ship.::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: A shuttle???

AXO_Danforth says:
::careful to stop at the first sign of trouble::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Sees the shuttle on sensors:: ACO: Yes Sir.

Host Trennar says:
CSec: Ah, of course.  We shall do so.  Of course, I do hope that we are not kept overly long.  There seems to be some contention for our Artifact and I am quite sure that it would not go well if it were stolen out from under us while we waited here.  Peacefully.

AXO_Danforth says:
COMM: Gitalong: Shuttle Gitalong, please proceed to docking bay 2.  You have permission to dock.

Obolos says:
::locks weapons on approaching shuttle::

CTO_Mrlr says:
#COM: Arcadia Station:  Thank you very much.  I'll just slip around these ships and this very large statue and be there in a few.

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::wonders what a shuttle could be doing coming in while the Romulans are like this:: Anyone: Open a channel to the Romulans, tell them to hold their fire

AXO_Danforth says:
COMM: Gitalong: Either myself or another officer will meet you at the docking bay.

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir the Romulans are locking onto the shuttle

AXO_Danforth says:
COMM: Romulans: Romulan starship, please hold your fire.

CNS_Cook says:
@::tries one more time to let the idol know what is going on and that there is a time limit::  *ACO* Sir, I think I have done all I can here.  All we can do now is wait and see what happens

AXO_Danforth says:
COMM: Romulans: A Federation ship carrying a crew member is approaching the station.  Thank you.

Daimon_Akon says:
::hears the Klingon claim the idol and starts to look worried.::

Obolos says:
::does not respond, but does not fire, keeps tracking::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: Alright, you better get back over here while you still can

CNS_Cook says:
@*ACO*  I am ready to return, just have someone either transport me or come and get me

CTO_Mrlr says:
#::glides the shuttle towards the docking bay  wishing that the Romulans would get their big after burners out of the way and slides into the bay::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
COMM: Obolos: Neither one of us want to start a war over a little shuttle just coming in to dock--- let it pass.

AXO_Danforth says:
ACO: Sir, should I greet the new ensign or should we send one of the junior officers?

Host ACO_Claymore says:
AXO: How do you know it's an ensign? Never mind... have a crew member bring the pilot here.

CNS_Cook says:
@*CSO* Could you transport me back to the station

CTO_Mrlr says:
::shuts down the shuttle and opens the hatch and walks out carrying her gear.  Stops and looks around.::

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: The CNS is requesting return to the station, Sir. Should I grab him?

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Try transporters first.

AXO_Danforth says:
ACO: Aye, sir.  ::doesn't make a comment about having read the crew compliment of the ship as it approached the station::

Host Trennar says:
::Paces around the small room, waiting impatiently::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps his lock on the EO and CNS :: ACO: Understood. *CNS* Ready your self, beaming up.

AXO_Danforth says:
::sends Ensign Twinkie to go and get the new CTO::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Flies his fingers across the panel ::

CNS_Cook says:
@::prepares him self to be beamed back::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::decides that she's not going to wait any longer walks out of the bay towards Operations.::

AXO_Danforth says:
<Ensign Twinkie> ::Sees the CTO::  CTO: Sir?  I'm Ensign Twinkie.  I'm here to escort you to Operations.

Daimon_Akon says:
::taps his fingers on the table in a distinctly annoying pattern::

Host Trennar says:
::Grows distinctly annoyed::

CTO_Mrlr says:
Twinkie: ::smiles showing her canines:: Aren't you sweet.  Lead on, please.

Daimon_Akon says:
::taps the fingers of his other hand in a counter pattern that is distinctly irritating::

AXO_Danforth says:
<Twinkie>: CTO: Thank you, sir.  Please follow me.  ::thinks that he finds the CTO rather charming::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Begins transport of the CNS and EO ::

Host Trennar says:
::Stops pacing and glares down at the Ferengi.::

CSec_Powers says:
*ACO*: Sir, I respectfully submit that you or Commander Danforth come to the meeting room.

Host ACO_Claymore says:
*CSec*: which Briefing Room, the one with the Ferengi or the one with the Klingons?

CSec_Powers says:
*ACO*: They are one and the same, sir.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::follows the ensign until they reach Operations and then looks around for the CO::

AXO_Danforth says:
<Twinkie>: CTO: How was your trip in sir?

Host Trennar says:
::Decides not to kill the little pest as the Starfleet guard has called for the commander to come::

Daimon_Akon says:
::feels something burning in the back of his head and turns to see the Klingon glaring at him.  Gives a small ‘yipe’::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::eyes grow big:: *CSec*: It probably wasn't the smartest idea to put them both in the same briefing room. ::pauses a moment and looks at Danforth:: AXO: Get down there and calm the nerves, I can't be taken away at the moment.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::looks over at Twinkie and smiles:: Twinkie: Yes it was...although I must say the Romulan and Klingon ship were a bit annoyingly in the way.  Now...where is the CO of this place?

Action: The CNS and EO are beamed off the idol and arrive safely.

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir, the return of the CNS and EO is a success

CNS_Cook says:
::steps off the transporter PADD and starts to make his way back to Operations::

AXO_Danforth says:
<Twinkie>: CTO: Right in Operations, sir.  You'll see him.  He's usually near the command station.

Daimon_Akon says:
<Denaro> ::rushes over to his Daimon and cowers besides him:: Akon: Please don't let them eat me for breakfast, Daimon.

AXO_Danforth says:
ACO: Yes, sir.  ::marches off dutifully, but not anxious to get into it with both the Klingon and the Ferengi::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Is the CNS aboard?

CNS_Cook says:
::enters the TL and starts the climb to Operations::

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO : Yes Sir.

AXO_Danforth says:
::enters the briefing room, looking around and noticing the slightly tense situation::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Any change to the idol?

CNS_Cook says:
::arrives in operations and walks to his chair::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::sees the CO and reaches up and gives Twinkie a pat on the head:: Thank you, Ensign. ::walks towards the CO noting everything along the way::

CSec_Powers says:
::Nods to the Commander::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::looks at the person that just entered Operations:: CTO: Report? ::in a very questioning intonation::

CNS_Cook says:
::sees the new officer and smiles::

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Everything is still reading normal Sir.

Daimon_Akon says:
::sees the AXO and stands up pointing at the Klingon:: AXO: He is dangerous...how can you let him on the station.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: as normal as a giant eight armed statue is ::

AXO_Danforth says:
::faces Trennar:: Honorable emissary.  Would you please accompany me to the other briefing room?  I believe we can talk in peace in there.

Host Trennar says:
::Ignores the Ferengi toad and approaches the AXO, smiling.::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::hands him her orders:: CO: Ensign Mrlr reporting for duty, sir.

Daimon_Akon says:
::in a louder voice:: AXO: He tried to eat my assistant!

CNS_Cook says:
CSO: I am assuming Commander Danforth is meeting with our guest?

CSec_Powers says:
::Keeps from laughing at that one::

CSO_Washudoin says:
CNS: Yes, he's down there right now.

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::reads the orders:: CTO: I thought I had a CTO, Commander Danforth.

Host Trennar says:
AXO: Certainly Commander.  It would be my pleasure.  This room has...a vermin problem.

Daimon_Akon says:
<Denaro> ::hears the word vermin and looks wildly around:: All: Vermin?  Where?  I hate vermin.  ::stands on a chair::

CSec_Powers says:
::Discretely has a trusted security squad chief go to the other meeting room::

AXO_Danforth says:
::shows Trennar the way out and turns to the CSec::  CSec: Please keep our Ferengi friends occupied while I attend to the matter with our Klingon friends.

CNS_Cook says:
CSO: You think he needs any help?

CTO_Mrlr says:
CO: No sir, Commander Danforth has been transferred.  I am to take his place.  I believe that these are his orders. ::keeps a straight face but has a twinkle in her eye::

CSec_Powers says:
AXO: Of course, sir.

CSec_Powers says:
::Turns to the Ferengi:: Akon: Daimon, how would you like to be entertained?

CTO_Mrlr says:
::hands the CO another PADD::

CSO_Washudoin says:
CNS: I think we all need some help, it might help, verify with the ACO on that one.

AXO_Danforth says:
*CNS*: Mr. Cook, if you would join me?  I believe your presence would be appreciated.

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::Reads aloud:: Self: Is hereby promoted to the position of Executive Officer. ::pauses then looks up for a moment at the CTO, then looks at the next PADD::

Host Trennar says:
::Follows the AXO, his followers also....following.::

CTO_Mrlr says:
CO: And you sir have also received ...ah...transfer orders. ::this time lets a little grin loose::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::reads to self:: Self: Is hereby promoted to the position of Captain... ::trails off then smiles... gets back into the situation:: CTO: Very well, thank you. Take your station Mr. "Mirlir"

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Chuckles a bit and returns to his internal sensors and external ::

CNS_Cook says:
ACO: I believe I will go help Commander Danforth ::notes that Claymore seems to be busy, so he makes his way to the meeting room where Danforth is located::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::nods to the CNS::

AXO_Danforth says:
::waits for his guests to sit down in the briefing room before taking a seat::

CNS_Cook says:
::after a few moments he enters into the room::

Host Trennar says:
::Enters the room, sits at one end of the table, his four followers standing behind him::

CTO_Mrlr says:
CO: I have one more set of orders here sir.  ::hands him another PADD then leans in and says quietly:: CO: Sir...it's Mrlr and believe me...it is NOT Mr....not in the slightest ::grins and walks towards tactical swishing her tail just a little::

CNS_Cook says:
::approaches Danforth, and says softly:: AXO: Thought you could use a hand

Host Trennar says:
AXO: Now Commander, about our idol...

AXO_Danforth says:
Trennar: Please tell me, honorable emissary, how we can assist you today?  You know the Federation is always eager to help our friends.

AXO_Danforth says:
::thinks "Thank you"::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CTO: How about giving me an update on the condition of the Romulan ship.

CNS_Cook says:
::takes a seat next to the Commander::

CTO_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye sir.

Daimon_Akon says:
::looks at the CSec:: CSec: Entertained?  ::narrows his eyes suspiciously:: What?

Host Trennar says:
AXO: In our sacred texts, it is written that a sign will appear in the heavens near this spot.  A sign from Kahless!  This signals the beginning of the end for the Empire and the entire galaxy.

CSec_Powers says:
::Takes a seat across the table from him:: Akon: Entertained.  Do you play cards?

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Do a full scan of the idol... as detailed as you can possible get. Are there any changes yet?

CTO_Mrlr says:
::goes to the tactical station and reads over the reports to get updated as quickly as she can.::

AXO_Danforth says:
Trennar: And you believe the idol is the sign you are looking for?

CNS_Cook says:
AXO/Trennar: If I may for a moment?

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Checking Sir. :: Runs basic scans to full scans, from microscopic to particle scans and even stares at the Idol for a bit on his screen ::

AXO_Danforth says:
::curious what the CNS is about to do, he allows him the floor for a moment in the middle of these tense negotiations::

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir, I still don't see any change in this cursed thing. I continue to keep my eyes peeled.

Daimon_Akon says:
CSec: Cards?  ::looks at his assistant who is still standing on a chair looking worridly down at the floor and then looks back:: What are those?

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Growls a bit at the idol and the situation surrounding it ::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::thought: I'm tempted to see if firing all our weapons would get it to float away!::

CSec_Powers says:
Akon: Playing cards, Daimon?  There are many games that can be played with cards, and some for profit.

CNS_Cook says:
Trennar: ::thanks a moment, and decides to use Danforth words:: Emissary, I just returned form the Idol, and I had a vision while I was there. Maybe you could help me figure it out?

CTO_Mrlr says:
CO: The Romulan ship still has a weapons lock on that large...idol...and have their shields up.

Host Trennar says:
::Looks at his followers, all of them highly interested now::  CNS: A Vision?  You?  Yes, tell us!  What did Kahless say?

Daimon_Akon says:
::both Akon and Denaro snap their attention to him:: CSec: profit?

AXO_Danforth says:
::thinks about this interesting turn of events and hopes the CNS sidesteps the landmines that might occur here::

CSec_Powers says:
::Knew that would get their attention::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::thinks a moment:: CSO: was there a change in the local spatial distortions when the idol appeared?

CNS_Cook says:
Trennar: Well it didn't say anything, it showed me pictures and played music. I saw an eight armed statue, land on a planet with some humanoid life forms on it, they all bowed down to the statue.

Action: Trennar's followers begin to whisper among themselves and he silences them with an angry wave of his hand.

Daimon_Akon says:
<Denaro> ::leans in and whispers to Akon::

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Checking Sir

CNS_Cook says:
Trennar: The statue then returned to the sky, and then I saw buildings first primitive huts, then skyscrapers, then I saw the humanoid life forms building there own 8 armed statue which flew off into the sky

Daimon_Akon says:
CSec: My assistant has to use your facilities. ::Denaro nods::

CSec_Powers says:
Akon: Indeed.  And what facilities would those be?

Host Trennar says:
::Listens intently, waiting for the words of Kahless::

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Yes, Sir, it did cause a miniature worm hole, big enough for it to come through.

AXO_Danforth says:
::amazed at the CNS' vision::

CNS_Cook says:
Trennar:  Then everything went quite and that was the end. I really don't understand what it was trying to tell me, I was hoping that you would be able to help me figure this out since you are followers of the idol?

Host Trennar says:
::Looks thoughtful::

Daimon_Akon says:
::doesn't say anything...just points to Denaro who is doing a small version of the potty dance::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: That doesn't help us... if there was something a sign or something that would tell us what it wants... ::thinks again::

Host Trennar says:
CNS: This is puzzling.  We will consult the book of Termination.  ::Motions his followers to him, one produces a large, leather-bound book and they spread it open on the table::

CNS_Cook says:
::sets back hoping that Trennar will be able to explain what this means, while also scanning Trennar and his assistants emotions::

AXO_Danforth says:
::doesn't like the sound of the book of Termination::

CSec_Powers says:
::Looks over at the assistant and sees that he is indeed doing the dance:: Akon: As you wish.  *Green*: Security Officer Green, could you come in here?  ::Green enters the room from standing guard outside, and Powers points at Denaro:: Green: This person would like someone to hold his hand as he uses the... "facilities."

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Maybe it's looking for protection, or an amnesty of sorts, just a thought, Sir.

CSec_Powers says:
::Green smiles and points the way::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::doesn't say anything...just tends to her station, listening with her ears swiveling from one person to another as they speak::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: Counselor are you in a position where you can speak freely?

CNS_Cook says:
*ACO* I am with Commander Danforth in a meeting at the moment.  Do you wish to see me?

Action: The five Klingons mumble among themselves and turn pages back and forth, searching the book.

Daimon_Akon says:
<Denaro> ::hurries towards where Green is pointing and enters the room he indicated::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: Could you tell me what you saw again.

CSec_Powers says:
::Green stands outside the stall, his tricorder actively scanning for transmissions or transporter locks::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues to monitor the sensors ::

CNS_Cook says:
*ACO* Yes, I saw an 8 armed statue land on a planet and the humanoid life forms there bowed down to it, then it left. Then I saw buildings first huts, then skyscrapers, then they humanoids built there own 8 armed statue which flew off into space

CSec_Powers says:
Akon: Daimon, as I said, are you familiar with cards?

Daimon_Akon says:
CSec: Ahh...no....is it something I can learn quickly?

Host ACO_Claymore says:
*CNS*: Could the idol be waiting for the same sign before it leaves? A group bowing down before it.

CSec_Powers says:
::Smiles:: Akon: There are some games.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues to try and discover anything on or form the idol, watching sensors ::

CNS_Cook says:
*ACO* That is what I was just talking to Trennar about, I believe it is here for a purpose of some kind and that it is waiting, our Klingon guest are looking in there book now
