"The Ambassador, Part V": The ruse worked and the pirates attacked the runabout.  The USS Quirinus was able to outgun the pirates and rescue the team members on the decoy ship.  The Starfleet crew was also able to capture the crew of one of the pirate vessels - including a dead ringer for Ambassador Ingleson.  Having dropped the captives off at Arcadia Station, the Quirinus is on its way to the Tea'pek homeworld to deliver the Ambassador back.

CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: In the security office of Arcadia Station, Azhure choosing to remain in command as senior ranking officer for the time being, Bill watches the various screens showing his Brig. The most interesting one, he has enlarged on a central viewer ::

INFO: ETA to the Tea'pek home world 30 minutes

Pirate_Ingleson says:
@::pacing in his cell::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
FCO: ETA to Tea'Pek?
FO_Flyer says:
CO: Thirty minutes at current speed and course.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Points to the screen :: Rast: I think he's paced enough. Have him cuffed and brought to the interrogation room.
EO_McShane says:
CEO: think we'll have time to do an overhaul check of the ship systems when we get back? ::He asks the CEO::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
EO_McShane: Doubt it but we'll put in for it, you know how the brass hates to take things offline. They think someone watches for it so that can pounce....
Amb_Ingleson says:
::pacing on the back of the bridge::
EO_McShane says:
CEO: They're not?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::continues checking system power management reports generated from the last battle::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
EO_McShane: Oh be quiet and check the sensor output....
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@CSec: Yes, Commander. :: Grabs a set of cuffs and sets off to do as ordered ::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Shakes her head and continues to review to make sure repairs are proceeding well.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ingleson: Ambassador, I can arrange for a chair, if you like or perhaps you would be more comfortable in our meeting room.
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@:: Enters the Brig, flanked by two armed guards. He stops in front of the person who looks like Ingleson and has the cell force field dropped :: Person: Your hands, please.
Amb_Ingleson says:
CO: I'm sorry if I am annoying you Captain, just nervous for some reason
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Ingleson: Sir, is something wrong?
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@::spits in Rast's face and tries to make a break for the door::
Sec_PO2_Ove says:
@:: The phaser on light stun, he fires almost immediately ::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*:Engineering to Ops, repairs proceeding anything unusual on your end?
Amb_Ingleson says:
OPS: It's just that I never thought anyone would go through the trouble of impersonating me, seeing that guy who looked exactly like me was very disconcerting.
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@::falls down unconscious::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ingleson: You are not annoying me but constant motion can be a distraction. As to your nervousness, given recent circumstances it is quite understandable.
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@::since the stun was light, already starts to stir:: Ow!
Sec_PO1_Sid says:
@:: Already has the cuffs on, he looks at Rast, who nods curtly. As they 'help' the person up, they make sure to smash his face into the floor once ::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: Still reviewing reports, it does not help that Ingleson is pacing up here, but no nothing yet chief. What about on your end?
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@::stumbling as he is roughly forced up, defiantly spits again::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: Maybe sit him down with some repairs or something? Anyway we're down to minor reports, the power transfer process is a little slow but negligible and we're working on it...
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@Person: As if I would stand in front of you again. Move. :: The two guards give more than a slight shove as they walk the prisoner to the interrogation room ::
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@::resisting moving forward, but is being coerced
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO* ::laughs:: Wish I could, but I would not presume to tell a Federation Ambassador what he can and cannot do. As per the transfer rate check the ODN couplers nearest the point the transfer rate slows. It could be damaged.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: I've got personnel on that should be cleared up soon. And true but maybe gently suggest? ::feels a bit bad for those on the bridge having to deal with an antsy Ambassador::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Already in the room as the guards and Rast bring in their prisoner, he turns, almost disinterested, and standing off to the side of the room ::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::double check the transfer rates:: *CEO*: Start your search on deck 6 section J21 Alpha.
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@:: Has the prisoner's legs secured to a chair, and the arms behind :: CSec: A spitter, sir. :: Wipes again at his face ::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: On it, we've repaired 3 ODN conduits. This should be the last one. I'll take care of it.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Grabs a repair kit and heads for Deck 6::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: Thank your teams for me Chief.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: I will, they'll be happy to hear those outside the dungeon know their work. ::She joked. The Dungeon being the engineers term for their area::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: After the prisoner is secure, Bill looks at him :: Person: I don't suppose you'll just be willing to tell me what I want to know.
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@::defiantly glares at the CSec::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::takes TL to deck six and heads for the junction at J21A::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: Of course let me know if you need a hand with anything. ::while they are talking he reroutes power away from the last conduit so it can be safely replaced::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@Person: No? Didn't think so. How about a name? Something to call you by? Or should I just call you S-face? Because you look like an S-face.
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@CSec: My name is Ambassador Peter Ingleson, Federation Ambassador to the Tea'pek people ::said with a sarcastic sneer::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: shrugs :: S-Face: And I'm sure your people miss you, S-face.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::pulls out the burned out section and begins to replace it with a new one::
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@CSec: Don't worry, I'm sure MY people will come for me real soon
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::puts down one tool and picks up another to continue repairs::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Humming to herself::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::begins reviewing some old ships logs, from a long long time ago::

ACTION: Six pirate vessels approach the station at high warp and begin firing on Arcadia

CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Checks connections to ensure it is properly installed.::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: Takor to OPS repair complete please test the flow. ::Pulls back and pulls out a tricorder to scan operation.::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: One moment
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::reactivates the deactivated ODN relays and runs some stress tests::
Pirate_Ingleson says:
@CSec: There, you see

ACTION: The Quirinus approaches the system containing the Tea'pek homeworld

OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: I am detecting good flow control Chief. Nice work.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Have you ever wondered about our uniforms? We're all dressed alike. You'd think there would be greater variance. Like this. ::Pulls up an image from long ago of a yeoman dressed in a mini-skirt:: See what I mean? ::shows the picture to Sulek::

ACTION: Station shields were raised the moment the detection grid detected the pirates; the pirates do no damage to the shields of the station

CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Monitors the junction::*OPS*: Thanks Lt. That takes care of the last of the combat damage. Thanks for your help. Engineering Out.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: Yeah piece of cake right? Now what do you think the chances Powers will keep Arcadia in one piece during our absence?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Sir we are almost at our destination.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::replaces the cover and cleans up the area. Then heads back to engineering to deal with the mountain of paperwork on her desk::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Orbital pattern.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*:Not sure Sir. I wouldn't want to calculate the odds.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Chambers: Let them know we are here and the Ambassador will be with them shortly.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::small smile as she takes TL back to engineering::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ambassador: If you would like to head to the Transporter room, your new home awaits.
Amb_Ingleson says:
CO: Thank you Captain, it will be good to be back ::heads into the turbo lift:: Computer: Transporter Room 1
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Sir, of course sir, are you sure you would rather not contact the planet leadership yourself? I can put you in touch sir otherwise I will proceed as ordered.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Chambers; Although not necessary, probably a wise decision. On screen when you have them.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Arrives in engineering and replacing the repair case, notes the items used and heads for her office.::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::looks up the procedure to contact the Tea'pek:: And routes the channel to the main screen:: CO: On screen.

ACTION: The planet responds

@ACTION: The pirate ships buzz around firing at the station but doing no damage

$COM: Arcadia: We demand you return our people at once!
Ranaira says:
::appears on the view screen:: #COM: Quirinus: What is the meaning of entering our system with a warship?
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Sits down at her desk and pulls one of the many PADDs on it toward her and begins to read.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ranaira: We apologize for having to bring our vessel here, but the Ambassador was attacked on his way here and was in need of an escorts.
Ranaira says:
#COM: CO: Very well, we await Ingleson's arrival

ACTION: The Ambassador is beamed down to the planet

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
