XO LtCmdr Rome
::before stepping into the Ready Room he turns to the bridge:: FCO: Ryushi, keep us safe. You have the Bridge.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::continues her ministrations over the Jem'Hadar prisoner after standing straight and wiping some sweat from her brow, her upper hair/fur slightly dampened with the intensity of working on the patient::

TO Ens Thalataar
::Is in the Computer Core room on Deck Two waiting for further orders from the command staff.::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::steps into the Ready room, but doesn't see anyone in there::

CTO Ens Murphy
XO: Commander... I have an intruder alert in the Ready Room! Non-crew lifeform... and I can't tell you how it got here, shields are still up.

FCO Lt Ryushi
::glances up from his work and nods briefly:: XO: Aye, sir.

XO LtCmdr Rome
::hears the CTO but knows Sinjin isn't here to hurt them...not yet at least::

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Turns to the ACMO.:: ACMO: He looks stable now, Commander. Maybe you should take a break, you've been working non-stop.

ACTION: Seconds after the ready room door closes, Captain Bodine vanishes in a quick swirl of blue-green light.

EO Lt Spanner
:: in engineering, working on the problem of where the orders to Leyla came from ::

CTO Ens Murphy
ALL: We just lost the CO! ::starts scanning using internal sensors::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::taps his badge:: *CTO*: Raise shields, maximum range!

FCO Lt Ryushi
CTO: Report

XO LtCmdr Rome
::prepares to open the door and step back out::

Sinjin Gadyn
~~~XO: That will not be necessary, commander.~~~

FCO Lt Ryushi
CTO: What do you mean, we just lost the CO?  Get him back, now, ensign.

EO Lt Spanner
:: shakes her head and heads for the computer core to get a look at what's going on, grabs her tool kit and engineering PADD along the way ::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::blinks:: Self: What? ::stops in his steps::

CTO Ens Murphy
*XO*: Aye Sir... but be advised... shields are at 30% and falling fast... if we keep getting hammered with these gravitons like this they will fail in about 10 more minutes.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::shakes her head as she glances at the stats::  CNS: He's better, but it's a tenuous hold.   I think I need to observe.

CTO Ens Murphy
FCO: I don't know where he went, Leftenant. I'm scanning for him now.

TO Ens Thalataar
::Paces a bit, slightly anxious about the current situation and wondering whether or not he'll be called upon to destroy the device.  He looks over to a case which contains some special charges to destroy the device if necessary.::

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Nods:: ACMO: Of course. Is there anything else I can do? ::Holds up the dermal regenerator in his hand, as if to say, 'I don't think I can get any more use out of this.'::

ACTION: The XO is surrounded by a similar blue-green shimmer of light, and is no longer on Cygnus...but "standing" in a star field, surrounded in all directions by fantastic images of comets, distant worlds, and nebulae.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::tries to grab something for balance as he suddenly feels nothing around him and has a momentary panic before settling himself::

EO Lt Spanner
:: enters the computer core and nods at the TO ::

FCO Lt Ryushi
::watches the same strange transporter activity again on the internal sensors as the XO disappears:: CTO: Are the shields up, ensign?

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::smiles appreciatively::  CNS: I think we've both done all we can.  You're pretty good with that thing.  ::looks at a padd and reads the prognosis for the other patients::  Hmmm, looks like the other injured have been cared for.  You're free.

<Jem'Hadar> ::his right hand darts up, and roughly grabs the ACMO's closest arm to him::

CTO Ens Murphy
FCO: Aye Leftenant, for the moment, until those gravitons beat them down in about another 9 minutes or so.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Self: Okay..............

TO Ens Thalataar
::Looks over to the Lieutenant.::  EO:  Any progress yet?

CTO Ens Murphy
ALL: We just lost the XO too...

EO Lt Spanner
:: shakes her head :: TO:  No, but I did find that an outside transmission was received by the Leyla unit.  I don't know where it came from though.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::taps his badge::*Bridge*: Rome to the Cygnus. Come in!

Sinjin Gadyn
@::taps his large, wooden cane onto the invisible "floor" several times, trying to get the XO's attention::

TO Ens Thalataar
EO:  When did it get this transmission.  ::Raises his eyebrow slightly.::

EO Lt Spanner
:: taks her tricorder and PADD out and heads for the unit to scan it ::

<Duty_Sec> ::Moves up next to the ACMO, phaser rifle raised at the Jem'Hadar movement:: Jem: Let her go, NOW!

FCO Lt Ryushi
ALL: Start figuring this out.  How were they transported off the ship as we raised shields?

ACTION: Leyla's forcefield surrounding her data core lowers.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::jumps as she reacts quickly to the clench on her arm, hissing in surprise and then becomes very embarrassed::  Jem'Hadar:  So...you're awake are you?  Can you speak?

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::looks to his left and sees someone there, and starts walking slowly but steadily in his direction:: *Bridge*: Rome to Cygnus, please respond. *CO*: Rome to Captain Bodine, do you read me? ::walks closer::

EO Lt Spanner
:: lifts her eyebrow and continues to scan the unit :: Self:  I don't know what's happening, but......

TO Ens Thalataar
::Approaches the Lieutenant.::  EO:  What is it?

OPS LtCmdr Burton
::Standing on the bridge::

Sinjin Gadyn
@::pulls down the hood of his ragged cloak to reveal his reptilian, almost dinosaur looking head and face, no taller than 1.7 meters, and is standing in a weak, hunched state, leaning on his cane heavily like an old man with terrible back problems:: XO: Your captain is safe, for now, commander...

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::waves off security and shows the claws of her other hand::  Duty Sec:  Don't worry, I can protect myself.  He's too bad off to do much anyway.  ::looks at the Counselor, a little worried then back down to her patient, waiting for him to speak::

EO Lt Spanner
:: hold her hand up :: TO:  Don't come any closer....I think I may be getting somewhere here.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Sinjin: Sorry if I can't take your word for it....Mr. Gadyn I presume? Where is he?

TO Ens Thalataar
::Raises his eyebrow and is somewhat baffled but stays where he is.::

<Jem'Hadar> ::his eyes open briefly, then roll up, and close again, then his arm goes limp, and his blood pressure falls dramatically::

<Duty_Sec> ::nods, but stays where he can keep the Jem'Hadar in view with a clear field of fire, watching alertly::

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Seems only mildly surprised by the Jem'Hadar's sudden movement. He takes a single step back from the Biobed.:: ACMO: Are you all right? ::Looks down at the patient.:: Self:...and what about you, my friend? ::Looks contemplative.::

EO Lt Spanner
:: almost whispers because she doesn't want to lose the ground that is being gained :: Leyla:  Are you there?

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Eyes widen:: Self: Aww, damn! ::Calls out:: Nurse!

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: What's our weapon status?

TO Ens Thalataar
::Listens to what Lieutenant Spanner is doing::

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Phasers, Pulse Cannons and Torpedo launchers stand ready Sir. Shields are at 20% and fading, those bleeding gravitons are beating them something fierce here.

FCO Lt Ryushi
::glances up to see the OPS seemingly appear out of nowhere:: OPS: The bridge is yours, sir.  I apologize; I did not realize you were present.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
FCO: Engine status and current heading?

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::walks closer to the reptilian:: Sinjin: Where is Captain Bodine, and what is the meaning of this....::motions for the space around them::

Sinjin Gadyn
@XO: In stasis, on the bridge of the Circadian, which is on a planet not far from here...from this ssship. ::coughs several times, rather sickly::

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Sinjin: And where is my ship?

FCO Lt Ryushi
::quickly working the console:: OPS: Standby.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
MO_Canary: I need you, now!  The White, he's missing it.  We've got to replace the fluids to get his pressure up.  ::reels out three fluids::  I think those would maybe give some of the enzymes he needs.  I never would have thought to have a supply of White.  ::is adjusting the measurements on the clamshell as Dr Canary rushes to replicate::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
FCO: I understand, we are all a bit busy now Lieutenant.

Sinjin Gadyn
@::chuckles, and coughs again:: XO: About 120 meters from where you stand. You are on my ship now.

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Request permission to initiate a recharge and reset of the shields Sir... it will take about 40 seconds.

EO Lt Spanner
:: looks at the readings again and shakes her head ::  Self:  This can't be good.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::looks around:: Sinjin: Holodeck? Not impressed.

EO Lt Spanner
:: taps her com badge:: *XO*: Sir, I think we may have a problem here.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Is lost in Jargon.:: ACMO: Of course... why... didn't I think of that? ::Bites his lower lip.::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
CNS: He'll never make it long without the real thing.  There's not much else I can do...  ::feels incredibly frustrated even if the man is an enemy::

TO Ens Thalataar
::Grumbles a bit at the Lieutenant's muttering.::  EO:  What is it?

EO Lt Spanner
:: notices the silence ::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: Will the reset allow any radiation in?

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Makes the "hmph" sound.::

EO Lt Spanner
TO:  It seems to be a pulse, like a homing signal emanating from the unit.

EO Lt Spanner
TO:  I wonder why the XO isn't responding?

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::her ears flick back as the news from the bridge registers over the open channel::  CNS:  Wait...did I just hear we lost our commanders?!

ACTION: The Cygnus is no longer in the grip of the graviton field, and finds itself free to navigate.

EO Lt Spanner
:: taps her badge again :: *OPS*: Spanner to bridge, respond please.

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: The radiation threat is gone Commander, we left that area. The gravitons are going to beat the shields down in 5 minutes in any case Sir. I'd like to try and reset them on our terms, if we can.

TO Ens Thalataar
EO:  Where is the pulse being sent to?

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Correction... the gravitons have just disappeared... but I'd still like to get the shields back to full Sir.

FCO Lt Ryushi
::regains control of the helm and brings the ship to a stop:: OPS: I have regained control of the helm.  Reading all stop now, sir.

EO Lt Spanner
TO:  I don't know yet.  That's why I'm getting in touch with the bridge.

TO Ens Thalataar
EO:  Shouldn't we have been notified sooner of this?

EO Lt Spanner
TO:  It only just began Ensign.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
*EO*: Go ahead.

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: Jorn, keep your eyes open down there... the CO and XO vanished, in some sort of transport... and the shields were still up. Stay frosty.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Shakes his head.:: ACMO: No, I didn't hear... I should probably head back up there, Doctor. We might come in contact with the Metrons again, and I should be present for that. ::Nods, and exits.::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: Continue with the reset.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::hears the tactical officer over the channel and sighs::  CNS: At least radiation is no threat anymore, but I wish someone would inform their doctor.  ::nods her head:: I think they will need you very much up there.

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*:  Sir, can you check some readings for me?  I am receiving a pulse from the AI unit and it seems to be a type of homing beacon signal.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
FCO: Perhaps you should move us away from the area a bit, just to be safe.

Sinjin Gadyn
@XO: This is more a stellar cartography lab than a holodeck... ::plods slowly up to Rome:: ...I see you are about as miserable as I am, though perhaps not nearly as much.

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Aye Sir. ::Initiates the rapid recharge cycle on the shield generators and then re-energizes the defense grid and raises the shields again once charged::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
*EO*: We will check it out.

FCO Lt Ryushi
OPS: Our course has us fast approaching a planet, Commander... perhaps it is where the Captain and the XO were taken?

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: Check that signal for me please.

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*:  Sir, this unit could be calling someone or something to come and get it.

TO Ens Thalataar
*CTO*:  Acknowledged.  The alien computer has some kind of homing beacon activated within it.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::raises an eyebrow:: Sinjin: Miserable? No. A bit annoyed at this game, jumping through hoops...my patience is wearing thin Mr. Gadyn. I want to know why we are here and what we are doing.

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: What can you tell about the signal?

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*: Or us.

CTO Ens Murphy
::checks the signal on Internal Sensors::

<MO Canary> ::rushes back over with the three fluids ready and mixed::  ACMO: Doctor...  ::starts hooking up the bag::

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Ship de-cloaking above us Sir!

OPS LtCmdr Burton
FCO: Then take us into a standard orbit.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Arrives on the Bridge, and takes up his customary spot to one side of the room.::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: What kind of vessel?

TO Ens Thalataar
*CTO*:  Only that it just began.  Lieutenant Spanner may have more information.  It is highly unlikely that the device will be able to contact anything from outside this region of space.

EO Lt Spanner
:: hears what's going on through the com badge :; Self:  Then again, it or they could already be here.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::merely nods to Canary and tries to determine the best settings as she adjusts for flow into the Jem'Hadar then steps back::  MO Canary:  Just to gain a few hours.  I feel sorry for him, he didn't ask for any of this...

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: Stay on top of it... let me know if you folks find anything out, the Bridge is interested.

FCO Lt Ryushi
::begins to head for the planet, sees the de-cloaking ship on sensors, and engages in evasive maneuvers instead::

EO Lt Spanner
TO:  No, it appears to be a localized signal, like a homing beacon.

TO Ens Thalataar
EO:  The Delta Triangle is well known for its sensor interference.  Any signal transmitted from the device would have a difficult time reaching its destination.

Sinjin Gadyn
@XO: What if I were to tell you that your Admiral Crenshaw deliberately failed to tell you the whole scope of your mission?

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Verillian cruiser Sir, no weapons, its hull composition is blocking transporter locks, but I'm reading two lifesigns, and one has a Commbadge signal.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Sinjin: I've been lied to by Admirals before...but I'd need proof.

Sinjin Gadyn
@::closes his eyes:: Self: Ah, and speaking of the Admiral, I see he has brought me a gift...

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: What kind of shields do they have?

EO Lt Spanner
TO:  All I'm saying is, if there is anything near, it knows we are too.

ACTION: The Leyla data core vanishes in a haze of light.

EO Lt Spanner
:: blinks :; Self:  What the..........!!!!!!!!!!!

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: It's more what the hull is made of, Commander... the material is blocking the lock-ons.

TO Ens Thalataar
::Notices the device vanish.::  Aloud:  What happened!!

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*: Sir, the Leyla AI unit has disappeared!

FCO Lt Ryushi
::brings the ship about and holds position behind and above the newly de-cloaked vessel::

EO Lt Spanner
TO:  I have no clue!

FCO Lt Ryushi
CTO: Ablative hull armor?

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Sinjin: Gadyn! Don't make me have to ask three times.

CTO Ens Murphy
FCO: Negative Leftenant... more a semi-organic skin-like stuff. No shield generators on the vessel.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Eyebrow raises, whispers to self,:: Self: Leyla...

EO Lt Spanner
:: shakes her head and begins to scan the area to make sure the device didn't damage anything ::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
*EO*: That's good news.

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS* I won't know how good it is until I've run some diagnostics Sir.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: I was thinking of send you over with a shuttle to retrieve our comm badge and what ever it's attached to.

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: I can have a boarding party ready in 5 minutes Commander...

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*: Sir, I'll be running a level 4 to check.

Sinjin Gadyn
@XO: I am acting on behalf of the Metron Consortium as a...catalyst for helping the Federation save itself from a danger it does not yet understand, not even by the 29th century. I have asked your Admiral to send a ship to find one of your starships that has crashed on the planet nearby... ::waves his scaly, clawed hand in front of him::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
*EO*: Keep me advised.

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*: Aye Sir.

<MO Canary> ACMO:  What these Jem’Hadar are put through.  They don't have a chance at life anyway, the poor sods.  Just use 'em and abuse 'em.  ::takes a look at the fluid levels::

TO Ens Thalataar
::Gruffles his beard a little bit.::  EO:  Any indication of where it vanished to?

EO Lt Spanner
:: has a level 4 diagnostic run on the computer core ::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
CTO: Go ahead and prepare a team and await my orders.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Sinjin: Go on.

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Aye Sir.

EO Lt Spanner
:: looks at her readings :: TO:  It's been beamed to the ship that's out there.

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: Jorn... Get yourself to the shuttlebay and take Alpha Team with ye. Draw equipment and stores for a Boarding Party.

FCO Lt Ryushi
OPS: We are in a tactical position over that ship, sir... I recommend we go to Yellow Alert...

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
MO Canary: I know.  What would it be like to be engineered?  Oh, Sinjin.  I almost forgot.  He sounded ill in that message.  I don't know if he was asking for help for himself or not.  ::huffs a little::  I don't know if we'd even be capable of helping.

TO Ens Thalataar
*CTO*:  Right away.  EO:  I must leave you now Lieutenant.  It seems as I may be heading over to the other ship.

Sinjin Gadyn
@::reveals the image of the planet near to Sinjin's ship, and Cygnus, then the images quickly zooms down to the surface, past a dense ion storm in the atmosphere, and shows a strange ship unlike any Rome has seen before:: XO: Behold, the meddling vessel your descendants will call U.S.S. Circadian. It is a timeship from the 29th century.

CTO Ens Murphy
OPS: Team is assembling in the shuttlebay now Commander.

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Sinjin: Well I'll be....

OPS LtCmdr Burton
FCO: They have no weapons and our shields are already up. No need to provoke them if we don't need to.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Rushes to the CTO.:: Sir, allow me to go on that away team. They may run into the Metron Gadyn, and it would be best if, well... it would be best if that Tellarite's loud mouth didn't foul things up!

XO LtCmdr Rome
@Sinjin: And you want us to go get it?

TO Ens Thalataar
::Heads out of the Computer Core Room and begins his trek for the shuttlebay.::

CTO Ens Murphy
CNS: Relax, Leftenant... I'm sure things will be fine. If Commander Burton wants the team to go, I may have to lead it and have Jorn man Tactical here.

Sinjin Gadyn
@XO: Get it...destroy it...::coughs and hisses slightly:: ...you are free to approach the situation as you wish. Crenshaw is only aware of the situation, and has agreed to stay quiet, and allow you to proceed however you wish. I do not know what lies on that vessel, except that it is where I have placed your captain.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Shakes his head, but backs off.:: CTO: Still... ::Turns to the viewscreen.::

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::grinds his teeth:: Sinjin: Then I can't very well destroy it can I? And going over there violates every rule on temporal law....

TO Ens Thalataar
::Enters the turbolift and instructs it to go down one deck.::

CTO Ens Murphy
CNS: I'd be happy to take ye along in an advisory capacity if the Commander thinks it's wise, and ye promise to stay out of our way.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
FCO: Try to hail that vessel.

FCO Lt Ryushi
::sends out the hail on all frequencies::

Sinjin Gadyn
@XO: Does it? How can you be so sssure? In any case, may we go to your ship? I do not wish to alarm your crew any more than they already have.

EO Lt Spanner
:: shakes her head and calls for a team to come a clean up the mess left ::

TO Ens Thalataar
::When the turbolift comes to a halt, he rushes out of it towards the shuttlebay.  He enters the bay and finds his team already waiting.::

XO LtCmdr Rome
@::waves his arm:: Sinjin: Fine, fine...let me worry about that....but I'd be glad to get back to my ship and sort this out from there, yes.

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*:  Sir, I can find no damage from the AI being taken.  I'll get right to work on making sure we are ship shape and Bristol fashion.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Nods:: CTO: But of course. I don't intend on getting killed, when it's perfectly logical for me to let one of you do that for me. ::Is totally deadpan.::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
*OPS*: Sir?  I have a report on our Jem'Hadar patient when you have time.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
FCO: Any luck with that hail?

CTO Ens Murphy
::winks at the CNS:: CNS: That's the spirit Leftenant... let the Fleet do the flyin' and Tactical do the dyin'...

ACTION: St. John and Commander Rome are beamed directly onto the Cygnus bridge, standing in front of the viewscreen.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
*ACMO*: Please report to the bridge and I will hear your report.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
*EO*: Good work.

EO Lt Spanner
:: head back to engineering ::

CTO Ens Murphy
::Draws her phaser as the intruder appears::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::orients himself again::

EO Lt Spanner
*OPS*:  Thank you Sir, just doing my job.

XO LtCmdr Rome
All: Report!

FCO Lt Ryushi
XO: You left, sir.

CTO Ens Murphy
XO: Intruder on the bridge Sir!

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
*OPS*:  Yessir.  ::looks at Canary very seriously as she heads towards the door::  MO Canary: Notify me immediately if his condition worsens or he awakens.  ::with a swish of tail she's down the hall and into the turbolift::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::not in a really funny mood:: FCO/CTO: Report on something I don't know.

TO Ens Thalataar
*CTO*:  Thalataar to Murphy.  Security personnel standing by.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
XO: Sir, we are stable, shields full and the AI Leyla is not longer in the system.

Sinjin Gadyn
::coughs:: Self: Damn my genes... ::scans his dull, silver slitted eyes around the bridge, not minding the CTO's reaction:: XO: Shall I be your prisoner? I will not resist.

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: Stand by, the XO just showed back up, you lads might not have to go after all.

XO LtCmdr Rome
::turns to OPS: OPS: Get the doctor up here, now. I want him checked out. ::points to Sinjin::

TO Ens Thalataar
::Grumbles softly.::  *CTO*:  We stand ready nevertheless.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
XO: The doctor is on the way now sir.

EO Lt Spanner
:: wonders again why Jonathan didn't answer her earlier ::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::motions for Sinjin to sit down, then takes the center chair himself:: Sinjin: Are you going to force me to detain you? I'd rather not.

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: I knew you would be... the CO is still MIA, so hang loose.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::enters the bridge and halts as she sees the XO unexpectedly, then walks up to him::  XO:  Sir, should I give you the....  ::hears Sinjin::  He needs help.  ::walks over to Sinjin and scans him with her tricorder::  Prisoner?

CTO Ens Murphy
::Keeps the intruder covered::

XO LtCmdr Rome
ACMO: Check him out from here, doctor. ::turns his attention back to Sinjin::

FCO Lt Ryushi
OPS: There is, by the way, no response to our hail, commander.

EO Lt Spanner
:: enters engineering :: Computer: Computer, locate Lt Commander Jonathan Rome.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Makes sure to observe Sinjin closely.::

Sinjin Gadyn
XO: I came here, submitting myself to you and your crew. A gesture of trust, if you will... ::gazes curiously at the ACMO::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
Sinjin: I read something of your condition.  Can you tell me more.  ::glances at her readings and becomes worried, but keeps her face kind::

<Computer> EO:  Commander Rome is on the bridge.

XO LtCmdr Rome
Sinjin: Then I won't break that trust...but I have to know why you are keeping the Captain on that ship....some kind of leverage?

CTO Ens Murphy
::Moves to keep a clear field of fire around the ACMO to her possible target::

EO Lt Spanner
:: seems puzzled :: Computer:  Computer, how long has Commander Rome been on the bridge?

<Computer> EO:  Commander Rome has been on the bridge for the past 3 minutes and 22 seconds.

XO LtCmdr Rome
::sees the CTO crawling around to his left:: CTO: Mr. Murphy...will you please stop that and stay by your console. Thank you. And look for a Federation signature inside an ion storm down there.

Sinjin Gadyn
ACMO: You...look familiar. XO: 'Tisss not my idea. I do only as the Consortium has commanded of me. All I can do now is...observe...

EO Lt Spanner
Computer:  And where was he before that?

CTO Ens Murphy
XO: As you wish, Commander. ::returns to her station, holsters her phaser, and starts scanning into he ion storm for anything that might be there::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::waves back the CTO, reminded of the TO’s actions before::  CTO:  He is not much of a threat if you can't tell.  ::turns back to the reptilian::  Sinjin: I don't know how much I can help you, but I need more information.  XO: Sir, would it possible to bring our guest down to sickbay.  ::growls a little::  And with security escorting us.

<Computer> EO:  Commander Rome was not on board.

XO LtCmdr Rome
Sinjin: Alright Mr. Gadyn...for now you are our guest, and the doctor here. ::motions to the doctor:: is going to run a few scans down in sickbay and see if she can do something for you. Is that alright?

EO Lt Spanner
:: blinks :: Computer:  What?!?!?!

<Computer> EO:  Commander Rome was not on board.

Sinjin Gadyn
::hobbles on his cane up to the FCO:: FCO: You did well seeking 'salvation'. ::looks over to the OPS:: OPS: And you hold the key...

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::blinks::  Sinjin:  Familiar?  I...I don't see how that's possible since...  ::is embarrassed to say anything about her appearance as it would be almost impossible for her to be mistaken for anyone else::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::stands up::

EO Lt Spanner
:: waves her hands at the console :: Computer: I heard what you said.  :: rolls her eyes ::

EO Lt Spanner
Computer:  Where was Commander Rome?

XO LtCmdr Rome
FCO: Standard orbit.

<Computer> EO:  Location unknown.

CTO Ens Murphy
::Continues to scan the ion storms for any signatures, Federation or otherwise::

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Says perhaps a bit louder than he intended, while observing Sinjin,:: Self: Mysterious, isn't he...

XO LtCmdr Rome
Sinjin: What do you mean, the key? ::looks curiously at Mr. Burton::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::follows the lame reptilian and lays a hand on his arm lightly::  Sinjin:  Sir...when you could come with me to sickbay?  ::is very curious why he is saying these things::

FCO Lt Ryushi
Gadyn: Salvation?
XO: Standard orbit, aye.  ::brings the ship closer to the planet::

EO Lt Spanner
:: take a deep breath :; Self:  Jonathan has some heavy 'splainin to do later.  :: stalks off towards the CEO's office, crewmen moving out of her way as she goes ::

Sinjin Gadyn
::turns to the CNS, and nods at him:: CNS: You may still yet be able to save him... ::said almost prophetically:: XO: Commander, what will you do now?

OPS LtCmdr Burton
Sinjin: Key?

CTO Ens Murphy
XO: Sorry Commander, I'm not getting anything between the Ion storms and the Triangle interference, even with these snazzy sensors. There could be a whole Dominion fleet down there and I can't see it.

TO Ens Thalataar
::Waits alongside his fellow security officers for the go ahead to rescue the captain.::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::takes a deep breath, taking in all the comments:: Sinjin: My job.....go with the doctor, then you will be escorted back up here when she's finished. Anything else I should know before I continue, like..this key?

EO Lt Spanner
:: picks up her PADD and heads to the bridge to make a report to the XO personally ::

XO LtCmdr Rome
CTO: Try a probe.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::her tail tip flicking up and down shows her anxiousness to make sure Sinjin is taken care of, but she tries to have patience::

EO Lt Spanner
Self:  I'll make him think Commander Rome was not on board at an unknown location.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Smirks at Sinjin.:: Sinjin: Quiet, old man. Stay out of my life.

CTO Ens Murphy
XO: Aye Sir, launching a class-5 planetary landing probe. ::launches the probe, programmed to orbit several times in lower and lower orbits until it lands::

Sinjin Gadyn
::turns to the ACMO:: ACMO: Your eyes...look so much like her. Remarkable. I will go with you, now. XO: Only that Leyla is my prize now. An exchange of information from your Federation, that they would know about the Circadian, and send you out here. ::allows Trillian to lead the way::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::nods to the doctor::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
Sinjin: Wait, how do I hold the key?

XO LtCmdr Rome
CTO: Send your deputy with them, but tell him to stay back. He's there to help Mr. Gadyn around, nothing else.

Sinjin Gadyn
~~~CNS: Old? I am only 23 Earth years, counselor.~~~

XO LtCmdr Rome
CNS: Counselor...go with them, debrief him.

EO Lt Spanner
:: exits the lift and almost runs over Sinjin stares for a moment :; Sinjin:  Excuse me.

Sinjin Gadyn
::ignores the OPS, and enters the turbolift with Trillian and the CNS::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::blinks again and takes an involuntary step back, instinctively knowing who 'she' is, forgetting for a second she is even on the bridge, then comes back to herself::  Sinjin:  Just...uhhh...follow me, if you would.  ::stays next to him, worried for his frail state as they move toward the turbolift::

XO LtCmdr Rome
::sits back down in the chair, wondering why some days can go on and on::

CTO Ens Murphy
XO: Aye Sir. *TO*: Jorn, have Alpha team stand down... I need you back in sickbay to escort a guest and help the ACMO as required. Keep them safe.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Almost growls, making a scene. He yells as he moves toward the turbolift.:: Sinjin: And stay the hell out of my head!

TO Ens Thalataar
::Raises his eyebrow slight and grumbles again.::  Aloud:  For once I'd love to stay stationary.  ::Taps his commbadge.::  *CTO*:  It shall be done.

OPS LtCmdr Burton
XO: The key? What key? What am I to do now sir?

EO Lt Spanner
:; approaches the XO :: XO:  Sir, I have the reports on the Leyla AI that I was able to get before it disappeared.

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Enters TL, which closes.::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
CNS:  Counselor!  I will ask you to cease hostility or I will be forced to put you through a thorough physical.

XO LtCmdr Rome
::stands back up:: All: Okay people....the Captain is safe, there is a ship down there, Federation, it won't match our database, but just take my word for it. We need to get that ship back up.

Sinjin Gadyn
::chuckles and coughs, shaking his dino-like, almost brontosaurus head::

CNS LtJG HeiRan
::Shakes his head at the ACMO, suddenly finding her a bit annoying.:: ACMO: Yessir.

XO LtCmdr Rome
OPS: Get with Mr. Murphy, try and work out a search pattern.

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: Trust me, friend, I don't enjoy sending you for runs all over the ship either... it's been one of those days. Look on the bright side, we can skip PT today. ::chuckles::

XO LtCmdr Rome
FCO: You keep us ready to break orbit.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::her tail swishes aggravatingly with her mood::  Sinjin: Your cough...I am most worried about that. ::fights the urge to speak to Sinjin on a more personal level::

FCO Lt Ryushi
XO: Aye.  ::brings orbital thrusters to hot standby::

XO LtCmdr Rome
EO: Come with me. ::walks to the RR:: OPS: You have the Bridge.

EO Lt Spanner
:: nods :: XO:  Aye Sir.

<Sickbay> *Bridge/ACMO*: This is sickbay, we have a problem down here. ::sounds of things being broken in the background:: The Jem'Hadar...he's---! ::comm is cut::

EO Lt Spanner
:: follows Rome to the ready room ::

OPS LtCmdr Burton
::Stands for a moment in a bit of disarray::

TO Ens Thalataar
::Grumbles irritatingly.::  *CTO*:  I just hate not knowing what is going on...

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian
::growls::  *MO Canary*:  Talk to me!  Canary?!

CTO Ens Murphy
*TO*: Trouble in sickbay Jorn... double time it!
