OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sitting at station her tail swaying lazily behind her ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*Centurion Trall*: Centurion this is LtCmdr Theron, if you are able, please come to the Captains ready room . . . , located deck one.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::scanning for hostile ships in the area::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sitting in his ready room looking over a PADD::
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: finishes up with the report on the situation and then taps comm badge ::
*CO*: I have done the best I can down here in sick bay there is a gentlemen in recovery that seems to be of high rank, I feel he might be the one you are looking for he should be recovered within the half hour. I will go see to the team, now.
 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CNS*: Understood.  Captain Out.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::approaches the ready room and hits the chime::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: scans the debris for hazardous substances ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::hears the chime::  FCO:  Come.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Heads out sick bay and heads towards the Romulan springball teams quarters  ::
Self: This should be interesting.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::enters the ready room and approaches the desk with a PADD:: CO: Well, Love and I assisted with triage, almost all of the rescued survived.  The highest ranking official is one, ::looks at PADD:: Centurion Trall, but he is still in recovery at the moment.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CO*: Sir-r, the debr-ris checks out as clear-r, per-rmission to beam it to the car-rgo bay?
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Stopping front of the door of the Springball team he rings the chime on it  ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*OPS*  Permission granted.  Start cataloguing it as it starts to arrive.  Contact me if you find anything unusual.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CO*: Aye Captain, Chaser-r out.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: erects a level 10 containment field, bio filters, and environmental filters, and begins beaming debris aboard, cataloging as she goes ::
Syol says:
::answers the door chime by opening the door and standing in the doorway blocking the CNS' view inside::
Syol says:
CNS: Yes?
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
Syol: I've been asked to bring you to the COs ready room he would much like to speak with you on some matters
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Understood.  Anything you can tell me so far?
Syol says:
CNS: Why would he want to speak with me?
Syol says:
::looks around:: CNS: And where's your security escort?
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::sighs:: CO: Nothing other than the injuries were pretty bad and there were some close calls . . . I would hate to think it was self-inflicted.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
Syol : That’s not for me to say , but surely it would be important to invite you to the ready room for a discussion.,  Security and why would I need that ?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  As would I.  Hopefully as we investigate, we will come to a conclusion.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::nods:: CO: Have you contacted the Romulans yet?
Syol says:
CNS: Discussion?  You Federation people have too many discussions.  I decline to participate.  Besides, I cannot speak for the group.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  I have contacted Starfleet and apprised them of the situation.  I asked them to contact the Romulans.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::nods:: CO: Your orders for me in the mean time sir?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::deploys Security Teams Alpha and Epsilon to escort the Romulans::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Take command of the bridge.  I will be there shortly.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::comes to attention:: CO: Aye sir.  ::exits onto the bridge and approaches the command chair and sits:: OPS/CTO: Report?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: watches the cargo bay containment field like a hawk as it begins to fill with debris ::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
FCO:I have deployed two Security teams to escort the Romulans.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: the Dizion symbiont with in himself getting a little agitated sighs within Jondio , but on the outside. Jondio takes control a little more and smiles kindly::
Syol: I suppose if you don’t want to come that is up to you. After all your are a quest upon the Claymore, but perhaps some of your teammates might think it well to speak with the Captain, perhaps I could seek their thoughts on this.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CTO: Very good . . . anything on long range?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
FCO: No , Sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::sits and thinks, hates this waiting, awaits the OPS report::
Syol says:
CNS: Only Regail can speak for the group and he's not here at the moment.  Please come back later.
Syol says:
::moves out of the way of the door sensors and watches them close on the CNS::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: I cannot get clear-r r-readings of the debr-ris until we get in ther-re with tr-ricorder-rs, Sir-r.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Are you going to do that yourself Lieutenant?
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: :: looks at the door as it closes and clenching his fist keeping back the symbiont’s anger within him,  decides best to go speak with the Captain directly on this, and thinks for a moment on the were abouts of Regail ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: No, Sir-r, I will catalogue and wait for science.  :: nods to the FCO ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Acknowledged.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
*Bridge*: I need a location On Regail, the Captain of our friendly springball team .
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sets up a manifest for the SO and hands it to a waiting crewman, he heads off to the cargo bay ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CNS*: Couldn't you ask the computer that question Ensign?
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
::sitting in sickbay talking with a few of the Romulans...as he walks by, hands shoot out to grab in need of aid...dodging or moving away he continues to move forward through the bodies::
SO Boots says:
::  Exits the lift  and pulls on a biohazard suit before entering the cargo bay decontamination ::
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Heads towards the Captain’s RR :: Computer: Where abouts Of Regail ?
Computer says:
 CNS:  Regail is in assigned quarters.
SO Boots says:
:: enters the cargo bay and begins scanning with his tricorder getting base metal and surface scans ::
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
    Computer: Location of all Romulan VIP guests. 
Computer says:
      CNS: All the members of the team are in the quarters as well .
SO Boots says:
 :: Switches to microscopic and particle scans ::
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Arrives on the bridge and steps up to the CO’s RR and rings the chime ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Hears the chime:: *CNS*: Come.
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
::moving to the back of sickbay...he notices a few huddled Romulans talking...he moves closer...hoping to over hear the conversation and introduce himself...hoping to find out what really happened::
SO Boots says:
:: gently pushes the debris, visually looking at the surface of the different pieces, is careful not to puncture his gloves ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant you have a minute?
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::still in engineering running diagnostics::
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Yes I have a minute or two shoot.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CEO*: We are in a holding pattern pending the investigation, I would like you to initiate the tachyon scan of the area like we talked about since we have the time . . . if it wouldn’t be a problem?
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Enters and stands front of the desk  ::  CO: it appears our guest have gotten a little shy, and refuse to let me speak to their Captain and lied saying he is not in the room but weird the computer says he is.   I also sensed a bit of secrecy going on in Syol as he spoke with me .
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CEO*: Things just don’t seem right too me.
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: That sir is an understatement.  I have had the feeling that things are not what they seem.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CEO*: Glad we are in agreement J'Loni, as fast as you can please and keep me posted. . . . thank you.
SO Boots says:
:: turns his nose toward  some curious readings, of some exotic explosive and begins a complete analysis ::
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Understood sir and I should have it ready in a minute or two.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CNS:  That is interesting.  ::thinks back to when he met the Springball Team::  What else can you tell  me?
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Glances at the Chair quick wishing he could sit down for it seemed he hadn’t the chance sense we first hailed the Romulan Vessel  ::
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::continues to reconfigure the deflector dish to emit the tachyon field::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::making sure nothing hostile is in the area::
SO Boots says:
:: raises an eyebrow and realizes that this is a bad thing taps his combadge:: *CO*  I think I have............
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
CO: Honestly, I sensed a bit of mystery in that team ever since we had met them in the transporter room. They had seemed more intent on settling and being left alone then a  normal sports team would.

ACTION:  As the SO begins to realize what his readings mean, he is hit by a beam weapon and vaporized.

FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::paces past the tactical console and cracks a smile at the CTO, sharing his boredom::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
FCO: Sir I am reading weapon discharge in the Cargo Bay.
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Your tachyon field is ready for firing.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: still creating new files for data relating to the implosion ::
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
::moving in close he hears the Romulan with the broken nose::  ROM: Yeah...I was at my post...haywire...   ::looks to the Romulan with the long hair and scar through his eye::  ROM: Haywire...Mine went haywire too.  It is unacceptable....sabotage...at least that’s what a few of the Engineers have said.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CNS: Hold on a second.  *SO*  Go ahead.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CTO: Go to yellow alert and send a team there.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CO*: Captain could you come to the bridge please?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
FCO: Sir, I will go with a Security detail, if it is a Romulan I would like to be the one to bring him in.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: gets a bad feeling ::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::initiates yellow Alert
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CTO: That’s fine, Lieutenant, just get someone down there now please.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::walks over:: OPS: Who was in the cargo bay?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
FCO: Aye.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*  On my way.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::leaves Acting CTO on duty::
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hears the yellow alert::  ALL: Condition Yellow Alert 1  ::stands back and watches her staff do their jobs::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: gulps and looks up at the FCO remembering the fresh young face she handed the PADD to :: FCO: Sir-r, SO Boots.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CEO*: Initiate the tachyons and keep me apprised.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
*Security Team Iota*: Gentlemen meet me just outside Cargo Bay 1.
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
ALL: Hurry people remember where we are and whom we have onboard here.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*Medical*: Medical team to Cargo Bay 1.
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Tachyon field initiated.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::walks over to meet the CO at the ready room door::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::gets in Turbolift::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  What is it?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
Computer: Cargo Bay 1.
Dr. T’ail says:
FCO: Aye, Sir-r we ar-re on the way!, Sickbay, out.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Follows the CO out of ready room on to the bridge  ::  CO: I’m going to do some digging on the team in past records, see what I can come up with well you tend to things with your permission.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks up at the FCO trying hard not to cry, feeling pretty miserable ::
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Ens. Thompson: Watch the field generators.  I don't want any tachyons backing up into our systems.  Keep an eye on the plasma flow regulators.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::walks with CO:: CO:  A moment ago we got a weapons discharge in the cargo bay, we have a security team and med staff on there way.. I also had Lt Randolph initiate a tachyon scan of the area to try and detect any cloaked vessels . . . we're waiting now.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::arrives and rendezvous with the Security Team::
Dr. T’ail says:
:: rushes out of the lift and into a biohazard suit and into decontamination ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CNS:  Take the CTO with you.
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
::moving closer he can over hear a Romulan in a dark green suit raise his voice::  ROM: Sabotage...I dare say it could be the Federation...did you see how many are dead...and wounded... the Federation...pathetic.   ::moving closer he breaks up the conversation with a remark::  ROM in Dark Green: We did more than you did for the Stevenson...
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO/CNS: CTO is on his way to the cargo bay, sir.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::goes to the Security Locker and gets four biohazard suits:: Team: Here put these on.
Dr. T’ail says:
:: searches around for anyone injured ::
Iota team says:
 CTO: Aye.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Understood.  Go with the CNS.  He will fill you in on the way.  I am headed down to the Cargo Bay to find out what is going on.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::stands for a moment wondering why he is going with the CNS then nods:: CO: Aye . . . Aye sir.  ::approaches the TL with the CNS::
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
<ROMinDG>XO:  Ha, ha...the Stevenson...another pathetic Federation ship...
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Looks at the CO a bit confused but works with his mistake and decides to start with the team here in stead of the computer  ::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::Shoulders his tri-beam phaser and begins to creep toward the Cargo Bay entrance::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Lt. Cmdr. Taylor to the bridge.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::enters the TL with the new CNS:: CNS: What exactly are we doing Ensign?
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
ROMinDG: Well it seems this pathetic Federation ship...just saved your lives.  ::looks at them in disgust...eyeing them as they lower their heads::
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
FCO : Got a phaser  I believe we will have to demand entry to their suite .
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::Goes through Decontamination into Cargo Bay::
CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Sir, the tachyon sweep is not turning up anything.  Either they are not here or their cloaks are perfect.
Dr. T’ail says:
:: Pulls out his medical tricorder and begins scanning, finding only DNA where the SO was vaporized ::
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CO*: Aye sir.   ::looks once more over to the Romulans...bows his head and leaves them...heading for the TL...he enters and heads to the bridge::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CEO*: Very well it was a shot, shut it down and stand by, we are having a security situation, the CO will keep you apprised.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CNS: No, and that’s not very diplomatic.  But I'll get one on the way just in case.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: Arriving at the VIP suite he rings the chime knowing he probably wont get a answer ::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::passing through Decontamination creeps into the Cargo Bay::
Dr. Tail says:
:: sadly taps his combadge:: *CO*: Sir-r, the SO has been vapor-rized.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::gets a phaser out of an emergency locker and holsters it and awaits at the door:: CNS: You still haven’t told me what we are doing?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::scans for lifesigns but turns up negative and only finds debris::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*TAIL*  I am on my way Dr.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
FCO: I honestly don’t believe this is the real Springball team, think about it if you wanted to gain access to a ship what’s the best way? Diplomatic reasons!
CTO_LT_Blade says:
*FCO*: Sir, it is very grim it looks like the SO's DNA has been vaporized.

ACTION:  The CNS, as expected, receives no answer.

XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
::exits the TL...and walks to the CO::  CO: Sir...the Romulans I've talked to seem to think it might be sabotage...They were unable to send out a distress call and their lifeboat's transmitters won't be picked up for weeks.  They also had said that the consoles and controls had gone haywire.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
FCO: as I figured !
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::huffs for a moment:: CNS/Self: This is pointless there is an intruder and 200 other Romulans aboard and we are here asking questions.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  I was thinking the same thing.  A member of the Springball team spoke ill of the Aculan.  I have suspicion it might be him.  I am on my way to the cargo bay to find out what happened.  You are in command here.
XO_LtCmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Yes sir...  ::moves forward and resumes command of the bridge for the CO.::
Dr. T’ail says:
 :: makes his way back out of the cargo bay, taking a final scan of the DNA smear on the deck, enters decontamination ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
Computer: Security override on this door, authorization Theron-Alpha-9-9-0.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::steps in to the TL and orders his destination::
