:: Continues his duties and studying his findings ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::riding Turbolift towards Operations::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::monitoring the com traffic::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Miss Mrlr.  Please be sure that no other messages pertaining to the condition of the child goes out without my permission.
CMO_D`han says:
::in sickbay walking from the baby's room to Laeessa's room to check on her::
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.
CTO_Powers says:
::Finishing up his reports in Security Operations, then heads towards Sickbay::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::walks out of Turbolift:: XO: Report
CMO_D`han says:
::sees she is asleep and goes back to the baby's room::
XO_Danforth says:
::gives the CO a summary of events::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: Are any of the vessels showing signs that they are about to self destruct
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO: Not yet, sir.
CTO_Powers says:
::Comes to Sickbay, and talks with Security Officer Green for a moment before entering himself and looking around for the Captain::

Action: Sensors show a new vessel separate from the cloud of orbiting ships.  It heads toward the station.  It appears to be a Starfleet Runabout

Host CO_Claymore says:
XO: Get me an update on the Thomas, they need to be out there soon.
XO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse> CTO: May I help you?
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Get me the Thomas, Miss Mrlr.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO/XO: Sirs...we have a new ship approaching.. it appears to be a Starfleet runabout.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: What is the condition of the Merrimack, were they damaged in the last explosion, what about the other ships?
CTO_Powers says:
Nurse: The Captain asked that I meet him here.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Registry?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Checking Sir.
XO_Danforth says:
::sees the status of the Thomas on his board::
XO_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the Thomas is ready to launch.
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse> CTO: The Captain left a while ago and has not returned. Do you wish to speak with D'han?
Host CO_Claymore says:
XO: Give them clearance, get them out there.
XO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::gives the Thomas clearance::
CTO_Powers says:
::Nods:: Nurse: Yes, if she is available, I would like to ask her a couple questions 'bout those bodies we brought in not long ago.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: The Merrimac is fine along with the other ships, they were a ways away from the others when they blew.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans the incoming Runabout ::

Action: The Thomas leaves the docking bay and makes its way out the doors and into open space.

CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir, it shows the ship to be the USS Styx :: pauses and then looks again:: Starfleet Intelligence...
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse>::nods:: CTO: Right this way. ::leads him to the baby's room, where the CMO is::

Action: The Styx hails the Station.

XO_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the Thomas is out the door and heading to open space.
Host CO_Claymore says:
XO: Prepare docking operations for the Runabout, I get the feeling we're going to have guests soon.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO/XO: They are hailing us...shall I open a channel?
Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: Standard communications.
CTO_Powers says:
::Follows the Nurse::
XO_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, sir.
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: Mr. Washudoin, please see to the arrangements of the shuttlebay for the shuttle.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::opens a channel:: COM: Styx: This is Arcadia station....stand by for the Captain.
CMO_D`han says:
::sees her nurse enter along with the CTO:: CTO: Lieutenant. ::smiles:: What can I do for you?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans the four humans on the runabout :: XO: Understood.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO: Channel open sir.

INFO: The screen shows the inside of a runabout.  The man speaking is dressed as a Starfleet Commander and had short blonde hair and a ready smile.

CTO_Powers says:
::Smiles to the CMO:: CMO: You can call me Ensign for now, but I appreciate your flattery.  Did we gain any knowledge from those bodies?
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: Styx: This is Captain Claymore of Arcadia station, to whom am I speaking?
Host CMDR_Jones says:
COM: Arcadia: CO: Ah, Captain Claymore.  I am Commander Jones, Starfleet Intelligence.  I request permission to dock as soon as possible and then to speak with you.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Contacts shuttlebay two to prepare for the shuttle, moves his hands across his panel setting things up ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Dock ready?
CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Sir, shuttlebay two is ready for them to dock at anytime.
CMO_D`han says:
::does a double take on his pips and sees there is indeed only one:: Self: Must have been up too long.....    CTO: Yes. Doctor P'trell brought them into the morgue. Would you like to view them while discussing them or is here fine?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::listens to the increase in com traffic:: CO: Sir, the other ships are getting agitated.  They seem to think that the runabout is getting preferential treatment.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: Styx: We're ready in shuttlebay two, meet me in our Infirmary.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: Styx: Arcadia out.
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: I saw them when we first discovered them, but if you feel you need a visual aid, lead on
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Have you been investigating the cult?
Host CMDR_Jones says:
COM: Arcadia: CO: Excellent Captain, see you shortly.  Jones out.  ::Closes Comm.::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Yes Sir, I've found some interesting information as well.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: You're with me. XO: You have Operations.
XO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Acknowledged :: Calls for a station filler ensign::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Follows the captain ::

Action: The Thomas assumes its station on patrol around Arcaida as the Styx enters the docking bay and proceeds to its designated spot.

CMO_D`han says:
CTO: No need. It seems they killed each other. No additional DNA on the scene, only theirs on the weapons used.... not much more to really tell. P'trell asked Trennar some questions and discovered that locked them in their quarters together. There was no one else there. He also said that these two took the child as a sign of the end times.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::enters the TL and waits for CSO:: CSO: Give me the general information, hold off on details for a little while.
CMO_D`han says:
CTO: Doctor P'trell suggested that they did it to guarantee themselves a spot in Sto'vo'kor. ::shrugs::
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: That's what we could gather, as well.  What about the one from the Promenade?

Action: The child stops breathing and alarms sound throughout Sickbay.

CMO_D`han says:
::runs to the child's biobed, wonders what has gone wrong::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::stands up and stretches:: XO: Sir, I think I am going to get a cup of coffee, would you like anything?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Basically Sir, there are trying to bring chaos and destruction to their planets by creating an "Old One" named Naryalethetep.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Riding the TL::
CTO_Powers says:
::Follows the doctor, but staying out the way::
CMO_D`han says:
::removes the biobed collar, and begins manual resuscitations with face mask::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Grape soda, please.

Action: Several other nurses rush into the room, jostling the CTO as they pass.

CTO_Powers says:
::Guess he wasn't as far out of the way as he thought::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Lovely
CIV_Mrlr says:
::walks over to the replicator and orders a cup of coffee and a grape soda.  Her nose twitches at the tangy scent of the soda.  Walks over and hands the soda to the XO:: XO: Here you go, sir.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Thank you, Ensign.  Have you ever had a grape soda?
CMO_D`han says:
::injects her with tri-ox to re-oxygenate the blood::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: My thoughts exactly.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head and then takes a sip of coffee:: XO: No sir, I don't believe I have.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: I don't think the CTO is going to like that information.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Walks with his staff through the station toward the infirmary.::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: You should really try it.  I think you'll like it.

Action: The child responds to the treatment and begins breathing again.

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: I'll leave it to you to explain it.
CMO_D`han says:
::backs off when she sees the child is breathing again:: All: Whew!
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Arrives outside the Infirmary and informs the guard there he is to meet Captain Claymore.::
CMO_D`han says:
::looks through the medical logs to try to figure out what went wrong::
XO_Danforth says:
::offers the CIV a sip::  CIV: Here you go.  Try a bit.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Yeah.... ::trails off::   ::feels the TL stop, strangely doesn't even remember starting it... walks toward the Infirmary::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Follows close behind ::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::takes a sip and wrinkles up her nose at the bubbles:: XO: It is very carbonated.
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec_Green> Jones: Commander, I haven't seen the Captain arrive yet.  But he should be here any moment
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Turns smoothly and sees the CO and CSo approaching.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
Jones: Cmdr Jones I presume?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::hands it back to the XO and grins:: XO: But it is very good, thank you.
XO_Danforth says:
::watches the CIV's reaction and smiles:: CIV: Yes, it is.  But I enjoy the lift it brings me.
CMO_D`han says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Where were we?
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: If you ever want to share a grape soda, come see me.  I know the best one around.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: Captain.  ::Smiles and shakes hands::  This is my assistant, Commander Smith.  This is Doctor Chang and Doctor Gonzales.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::cocks her head and her ear twitches:: XO: Thank you, I will.  But for now I think I will get some now from the replicator. ::grins and walks back, tossing her coffeee into the recycler and ordering a grape soda::
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: The body from the Promenade?
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: May we speak inside?  ::Indicates the Infirmary.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods and shakes hands like a good CO:: Jones: You're not here for introductions, and I get the feeling you are somehow connected with all that is going on here. Could you give me a clue? ::slowly moves in to the Infirmary, towards where he think the CMO and CTO would be::
CMO_D`han says:
::programs the biobed to monitor her oxygen levels and inject her with tri-ox when it dips below the level she sets:: CTO: Yes. It appears to indeed be a simple suicide. ::wonders if the computer got her results on the symbol search she did::
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Follows the CO into the infirmary, looks around and notes the activity. ::
CTO_Powers says:
::Nods:: CMO: Confirming what we believed...
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse> CO: The doctor is in with the baby.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: You should try some real grape soda some day.  I know of a place on Earth that makes it and it is SO good, it will make you want to forego other beverages.  It's near Starfleet Headquarters.  When I was at the Academy, one of my classmates showed me the place.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Enters the infirmary behind the group ::
CMO_D`han says:
CTO: I have a full report if you want it.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods to the nurse:: Jones: would you prefer in private, or could we meet with the officers I have working on this current situation?
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: I will come right to the point Captain.  I and my team are here to take custody of the child and its mother.
CMO_D`han says:
::turns to a console to check on if the computer has finished her search for the symbol on the pommel::
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: If you have a full report, I will look it over and probably add it to my own records.  ::Looks at the child:: Interesting creature...
Host CO_Claymore says:
Jones: Why I am surprised and not at all at the same time? Right now you can't have either one, they aren't medically fit to travel. But if you can tell me what is going on here, you should do so now... Commander.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::leans against the OPS console and sips her soda:: XO: Maybe I have been there.  What is the name?
CMO_D`han says:
CTO: I have one thing to add.... the symbol on the pommel of the dagger is a symbol that represents chaos. ::downloads her report into a PADD::
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: There has certainly been a lot of that lately.
CMO_D`han says:
CTO: Certainly it applies.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV:  Really?  Well, it was on the corner of Baker and Cochrane.  It had this old fashioned, Ancient Earth look to it, and it was simply called, Joe's Eatery.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: They had GREAT chili dogs, too.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: ::Smiles::  Yes, we have been informed of the child's condition.  That is why Chang and Gonzales have accompanied me.  Dr. Chang is a pediatric specialist and a trauma surgeon.  Dr. Gonzales is an expert in genetics and is also a fully trained doctor.  My ship is equipped with a stasis pod for the child.  She will be fine.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods:: Jones: That's all well and good. Stop evading my question. I want an answer or I'll have you escorted back to your Runabout, I don't have time to deal with bureaucrats
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Strokes his goatee while listen intently to what Jones has to say ::
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: I see.  Shall we step over here then?  ::Indicates a small unoccupied room nearby.::  Perhaps we should speak in private.  ::Smiles::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::laughs:: XO: I remember the first time I went to Earth and saw the item hot dog on the menu.  My roommates always got a kick out of watching a cat eat a hot dog.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::motions for Jones to lead the way::
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Walks away from the group and into the open room.  Turns and smiles pleasantly at the CO as he enters.::
CMO_D`han says:
CTO: Would you also like the dagger?
XO_Danforth says:
::can't help but laugh as well::  CIV: So you DO eat hot dogs?  I wasn't sure if it was tasty to your palette.  A lot of humans I know don't like it, but I find it rich.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: Now Captain, I have no need to explain myself to you, but in the sake of inter service cooperation, I shall do so.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::follows Jones:: Jones: I hate to sound hateful, but I've got 42, correction 41 ships out there. I don't need cooperation, I need answers.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Stares at the two talking in the other room, trying to read their lips ::
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: It is a very unusual taste.  I know that many of my species prefer to not eat meat but I found that I missed it too much. ::her smile shows her canines a bit::
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: As you know, there have been a number of, shall we say, strange happenings across the Federation in recent days.  This child's birth is but the latest.  Star Fleet intelligence believes this may be a plot to overthrow or perhaps destabilize the Federation.  As for the ships outside, I think I can help you.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Well, then next time we're on Earth, you'll have to go with me to Joe's and share a dog and soda with me.
Host CO_Claymore says:
Jones: I've heard of them. Are they connected?
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: The incidents?  Most certainly.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: They are all here for the child.  Once she leaves, they will follow her.  The danger to your station will be gone.  ::Smiles::  I am familiar with your record Captain.  You have done an admirable job of protecting this station despite tremendous odds.  Surely you wish to see this new threat ended as well?  ::Smiles::
CMO_D`han says:
::shrugs as she figures the CTO must not want the dagger as he did not answer her question::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::smiles and wonders what is going on in the rest of the station.  Walks over to the tactical station to see and looks through the monitors:: XO: That would be wonderful. ::watches the screen intently:: Everything seems to be quieting down a bit.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Takes this moment to go and get a look at this baby while the captains talk, nods to the other three guests :: Guests: I will return shortly.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::hates it when people try to sweet talk him... especially when they are in Starfleet already:: Jones: at the moment I can't transfer custody, I don't have any papers on it for the first part. For the second, whatever the reason, the danger to my station sticks whether the child leaves or not, some... thing is coming here for it.
CTO_Powers says:
::Shakes his attention away from the child::  CMO: Sorry.  Yes, the dagger will have to be taken to Security.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: I don't know...it seems strange for this shuttle to just suddenly appear out of nowhere.  Do a complete recent history of the runabout's logs if you have access to them and also of it's last flight.
CMO_D`han says:
::nods:: CTO: Very good. I'll have the morgue send it up. I left it in there to compare the wound to its shape.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: ::Smiles again.::  Whatever is"coming" for the child, will follow it as well.  As for the first part...::Hands Claymore a PADD::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Turns to where the baby is :: CTO/CMO: Good day. :: Takes a peak at the baby, wonders over it's abnormality, runs a tricorder over it pushes some button and turns to head back to the group ::
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: Doctor, there hasn't been any trouble down there, has there?
Host CO_Claymore says:
::reads the PADD:: Jones: Convenient... ::sticks the PADD on a computer terminal and attempts to verify the orders::
CMO_D`han says:
CSO: Hello. ::smiles and teases a little:: My readings not good enough for you?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::looks up at him and grins:: XO: Aye sir.  I'll just see what I can find here. ::tries to use the tactical station to access the logs and the flight path:: Hmmmm...it seems they have it locked out.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Waits patiently, humming a jaunty tune.::
CMO_D`han says:
CTO: No trouble fortunately.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Thank you, Miss Mrlr.  ::ponders and acts::  ::taps his com badge for the CO::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: Oh no, just had to see it my own eyes. :: Walks off looking at the tricorder::
CMO_D`han says:
CSO: Yes. Not at all the same impression from the raw data,
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: Good... ::Stares at the child again::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::smiles, picks up the PADD and methodically taps it on his hand:: Jones: Verified... as long as my CMO approves transport, she can still override these orders you know, unless you have something from Starfleet Medical as well?
CMO_D`han says:
CSO: So... is the Captain on his way?
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: You know sir, you can just call me Mrlr.  It is appropriate and not such a tongue twister.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir?  Do you have a moment alone?
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: If it is required.  ::Smiles::
XO_Danforth says:
::motions for the CIV to encrypt this communication and waits for her hand signal.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
Jones: Then I suggest you talk with the Doctor. *XO*: What is it Commander?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: He is here, he's just talking to some Star Fleet visitors we have. I'm sure he'll be here shortly.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::walks over to the OPS console and does so.  Nods to the XO to go ahead::
CMO_D`han says:
CSO: Oh good. Starfleet visitors? Who are they?
Host CO_Claymore says:
::walks over into a corner away from Jones::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, I just wanted to let you know that the Styx will not allow us to access either the logs or the flight plans on board the ship.  It's a bit concerning for me.  We did it as a routine matter since the runabout seemed to suddenly appear, and now we only have more questions.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: A couple of doctors, a pediatrician and some genius in genetics, some intelligence people. :: Pushes some buttons on the panel on the wall and pulls up some of his science data ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Thank you, keep working on it... I'll ask about it. Claymore out.
CTO_Powers says:
::Growls low at the mention of "Intelligence Personnel"::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Can you please keep working on trying to crack that encryption and see where our friends came from, Miss....I mean Mrlr?
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Walks out into the infirmary and waits::
CMO_D`han says:
CSO: What?! How could someone from SFI be here so quickly for the child?
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse> Jones: How can I help you?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO/CTO: Look here, :: Points to the information :: This is some of the information I've found concerning the baby. :: Shows them about the "Old Ones"::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::walks back over to Jones:: Jones: Seems like there is a small problem, we can't access your ships logs.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::grins:: XO: Aye sir. ::walks back over to the tactical console:: I may be able to by using it's command codes remotely.  But that is not standard practice.
CTO_Powers says:
::Skims the report... then begins reading closer, not really liking the implications::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: That's what I wonder, but we can handle anything that happens, even if we use force.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Mutters something to Chang and Gonzales and they produce PADDs from their small belt pouches.::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: As long as it's not illegal, I'm game for anything.
XO_Danforth says:
::smiles::
CMO_D`han says:
::looks aghast at the information on the screen::
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: Raises an eyebrow::  I don't see that as a problem, you are not authorized to view the logs of an Intelligence vessel.  So, where is the child?  In there?  ::Indicates the cordoned off bio-bed.::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::smiles back and winks:: XO: It's only illegal if you get caught.  ::inputs her own security codes in to gain access to the tactical database and the command codes for the Starfleet ships::
XO_Danforth says:
::thinks to himself, sometimes I just don't want to know::
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse> ::hesitates as she sees the Captain is dealing with Jones, backs off::
CMO_D`han says:
CSO: Are you sure?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::double checks the database and then looks up:: XO: Sir, there is no Styx in the ships registry for Starfleet.
Host CO_Claymore says:
Jones: Uh... do you mind restating that? I am not just a Captain of a station, but a commanding officer within this sector. I am authorized to know the movements of all ships within this area, even the classified ones, by the direct authority of my position.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: I am confident, I survived worse than this. :: Thinks of his past ::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Are you sure?  Check it again.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head:: XO: I've double checked....there is no ship of that registry in the database.
CMO_D`han says:
::pushes a few more buttons and gets a reference to HP Lovecraft, a 20th century author, reads more::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Prepare shields and weapons.  I'll inform the Captain.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir?
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Go ahead. ::very angered, but not at the XO::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Lock on to our visitors and prepare to beam them to operations.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: No...you aren't.  Now then, Captain, you have your orders.  I have mine.  You have verified them, I have here the written authorization from Starfleet Medical to release the child to the care of these good doctors.  I applaud your defense of this.. unfortunate, child.  However, it is no longer your concern.
CMO_D`han says:
::reads more descriptions of these old ones:: CSO: Well I am a bit worried....
XO_Danforth says:
Ensign Twinkie: Get a security team up here immediately.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::gets a lock onto the four humans and stands by:: XO: Aye sir.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, there IS no ship named USS Styx registered anywhere in Starfleet.  I just had Ensign Mrlr do an investigation.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Face loses its pleasant smile::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: As I thought, get security down here. ::yelling:: CTO: Powers, detain these men ::points at Jones and company::
XO_Danforth says:
<Ensign Twinkie>: XO: Aye, sir.  ::hits a console and grabs a weapon::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: Have no fear, Powers is here. :: Points at him and smiles a bit ::
CTO_Powers says:
::Grins:: CSO/CMO: Indeed.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::puts her phaser on the console and waits::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.  Already have Ensign Twinkie getting a security team together and shields and weapons are primed.
CTO_Powers says:
::Hears the Captain and draws his rifle from his back and points it at the four:: CO: Aye, sir, but under what charges?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Hears the captain and walks out behind the CTO ::
CMO_D`han says:
::hears the CO yelling from the main room, watches the CSO and CTO leave::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: Give me a minute.
CTO_Powers says:
<SecurityOperations> ::Gathers two teams, one for Sickbay and one for Operations::
Host CMDR_Jones says:
::Looks around as the CTO appears::  CO: Captain, you have made a powerful enemy today.  I only hope you survive long enough for me to impress that upon you.  ::Stands calmly::
Host CO_Claymore says:
Jones: Care to respond to the reason why your ship isn't even in the Starfleet database? Which is an obvious violation of regs.
CMO_D`han says:
::gets really concerned, grabs a laser scalpel to defend herself with if necessary::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Moves slightly behind the three, a few feet from the CTO::
CTO_Powers says:
::Wonders what's going on here, and wonders more so when a team appears to back him up::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Be ready for anything, Ensign.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Lock down the shuttlebay.  I want that ship detained.
CTO_Powers says:
<SecTeamLeader_Gerda> ::Enters Operations with his team:: XO: Sir, reporting as ordered... what's the alarm?
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Put a forcefield around it in case it's a weapon.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::locks down the shuttlebay and sends a security team to stand by it:: XO:  Aye sir, already done.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
CO: No Captain, I don't believe I shall.  Please escort us to your detention facility.
CMO_D`han says:
*MO*: P'trell... prepare for trouble.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::is disappointed:: CMO: Your medical tricorder, scan these men.
XO_Danforth says:
Gerda: I have a lock on four intruders.  If they pose any threat to the Captain or the baby, I will beam them here and you will detain them.  Understood?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::puts force field around the shuttle::
CTO_Powers says:
<Gerda> XO: Of course, but they are currently being detained by the CTO himself and another team.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir I have a lock on them.
CMO_D`han says:
::brings out the medical tricorder, and comes out of the baby's room:: CO: Aye. ::stuffs the scalpel in her pocket and starts scanning them::
CTO_Powers says:
::Watches as his team grabs an "offender" each, and he follows behind::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Good job, Ensign.
XO_Danforth says:
Gerda: I've learned in my experience that you can never be too careful in situations like this.
CTO_Powers says:
<Gerda> XO: Of course, sir.
CMO_D`han says:
CO: What do you want me to scan for? These men are all human and nothing unusual about them.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: You're looking for poison packets... the last time we had a situation like this our prisoner committed suicide in the brig.
CMO_D`han says:
::nods:: CO: Aye. ::rushes after the prisoners::
CMO_D`han says:
::when she catches up with them, scans them for poison packets::

Action: Two small ships, a privat yacht and a small transport, suddenly break away from the orbiting group and head toward the station.

CTO_Powers says:
::Still not sure what the heck's going on here::
Host CMDR_Jones says:
<OPS> *CTO*: Sir, two vessels are inbound.  The Thomas is turning in pursuit.  Orders?
CTO_Powers says:
*OPS*: Are they armed?
CMO_D`han says:
CO: No poison packets detected.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
<OPS> ::Pause::  *CTO*: I am not showing any weapons armed sir, but their shields are up.
CTO_Powers says:
*OPS*: Order them off, same as the others.  If they continue to disregard that, fire a warning shot across their bows.
Host CMDR_Jones says:
Action: The Thomas begins firing on the transport.  After several shots the transport's shields fail and its engines are destroyed.  It continues coasting toward the Station.  The yacht tries to evade as it approaches.
CTO_Powers says:
::Leads the Intel officers into the Brig:: Security: Constant monitoring of these.  If something happens, contact me, then the Captain.
CMO_D`han says:
CO: Permission to return to the infirmary?
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Thomas: Can you get a tractor beam on that transport?
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: Yes.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir.  Incoming ships have broken through the perimeter and are heading toward the station.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: The Thomas has disabled one of them, but it is still floating toward the station.  I'm trying to divert it as we speak.
CMO_D`han says:
::returns to the infirmary and returns to the baby::
Host Brett says:
<Thomas> COM: Arcadia: XO: Affirmative.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::gets a lock on them:: XO: Sir, I have a lock on the ships power systems.
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Try tractor beams...
Host CO_Claymore says:
::wonders if Jones knows anything about this and looks at him::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Disable only and then get them in tractor beams.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::tries to get the tractor beam locked on:: XO: Sir, I can use the tractor beam...::hears the CO::

Action: The Thomas grabs the transport with a tractor beam, but the yacht is able to evade its fire and comes within 10000 meters of the station at nearly full impulse.

Host Brett says:
<Jones> ::Remains impassive, sits calmly in his cell.::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::locks onto the yachts propulsion system and fires::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Take us to RED ALERT.  Give me an estimated time to impact.  And try to use the station's tractor beams to repel the transport.
CTO_Powers says:
::Stares at Jones... and growls again::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: Get a full guard detail down here, 24-hour watch, they should be armed. Then get to Operations.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, the transport is still approaching the station.  Impact is imminent unless we can divert it.  Ensign Mrlr is trying now to lock on with tractor beams and repel it.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::takes the station to red alert:: XO: Sir, the Thomas has the transport in their tractor beam...I am trying to disable the yacht.
CTO_Powers says:
CO: Already taken care of, sir
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Protect the station, lethal force is authorized within 30 seconds of impact.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Mrlr, they may also be attempting a rescue.  Make sure that wherever the prisoners are that there is a distortion field in the area.

Action: The station's phasers strike the yacht and chew through its shields.  It's engine explodes causing the yacht to tumble.  It strikes the station's shields and explodes.

CSO_Washudoin says:
::Lumbering behind where the Captain goes ::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, the station is safe, but I will maintain red alert until we can accurately assess the situation.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::creates a distortion field so no transporters can operate over the prisoners:: XO: Sir, direct hit on the propulsion system, unfortunately the yacht has exploded.

Action: The station doesn't even shudder as the small ship disintegrates.  Shields are down to 90% in that section.

Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Good work.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: That's alright, Ensign.  You did what was necessary to save the station.
CMO_D`han says:
::sees the baby's life signs go up by 10%:: *Operations*: Something happen up there?
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Shields are down to 90 percent.  Rerouting power.
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: Yes, doctor.  Another ship has exploded.  Apparently it tried a suicide mission and was successful.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: As I feared. The child's life signs had another dramatic improvement.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::thinks for a moment:: Jones: So how do you connect to all of this?
XO_Danforth says:
::thinks to himself that the CIV and he make a good team....Mrlr is definitely an asset to the crew::
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: I think we're thinking the same thing, Doctor.

Action: The Thomas drags the disabled transport away from the station and initiates boarding procedures.

CMO_D`han says:
::furrows her brows:: *XO*: What do we do now?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::sees the OPS station light up with com traffic and routes them to the tactical station:: XO: Sir, the other ships are becoming adamant in seeing the child.  ::growls a bit:: And are calling us murderers...::bares her teeth at the last bit::
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Thomas: Captain, please make sure your boarding party takes notes about the mental state of the transport occupants.  I believe they are all on the verge of committing suicide.
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: Maintain your care of the baby for the moment, Doctor.  We'll get through this.  Trust me.  ::hopes he sounds confident::
Host Brett says:
<Clay> COM: Arcadia: Acknowledged.  ::Sounds grim::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Calm yourself, Miss Mrlr.  They are merely scared.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: Of course... ::feels and sounds conflicted::
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: ::her tail lashing:: Aye sir, I know.

INFO: Over the next several hours, the orbiting ships grow more and more restless.  A few hours after the yacht is destroyed a communique, priority one for the CO's eyes only, arrives.  It is an Admiral Zed with Starfleet Intelligence who reads the CO the riot act once he finds out that his men are being detained.  He puts Admiral Smiley on the line who really gets ticked that Claymore doesn't consider his orders worth following. With no choice in the matter, Claymore orders the child and her mother turned over to Jones and his men.  They take both, quietly to avoid notice of the other Guardians on board, back to the runabout and depart.  The Styx heads out into space and, shortly thereafter, word spreads among the ships that the Child is aboard.  The fleet turns and follows the Styx away from the station and all go to warp.  Once the Guardians find out, they set out in their shuttle to follow as well.  Quiet returns to Arcadia over the next two days.  Until... Admiral Smiley calls to get an update on the child....  In the end, Smiley is royally ticked that someone else is forging his name etc.  There is no Zed in SFI that you guys can tell.  And there comes a report of a "traffic accident" in space in the shipping lanes headed back toward Earth.  Seems a group of rag tag ships somehow collided with one another and all were destroyed.
