Reflections - Mission 2
Host SMDrew says:
Summary - The crew of the ISS Claymore secure supplies and make preparations before their meeting with the Breen.  An unusual calm falls over the station as several Breen Warships dock and Breen Troopers fill the corridors.
Host SMDrew says:
********** Begin - Reflections - Mission 2 *************
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sitting cross-legged upon the floor of the Observation Deck, back within a corner, her mind wandering the station::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Slipping through the corridors of the station, she makes her way silently back to the ship.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Sitting in a seat in front of the Observation Deck window, hunched over slightly, his hands folded on his knees::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As she makes her way to the central lift, she sees the doctor.  She also notices the warships through the dirty glass.  Silently she steps over to him.  Quietly::  CMO: When did they get in?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::arrives on the Observation Deck silently::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Staring at his hands::  CSO:  Just a few minutes ago...I...wasn't really watching.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Arrives on the Observation Deck her guard in tow as she looks around.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Upon sensing the Captain's arrival, stands to her feet in one smooth motion::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her voice firm, though quiet.:: CMO: You know that is dangerous.  You are to observe everything around you at all times.  Especially here.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Notices Raeyld in a corner and walks over to her.::  CNS: So how are we doing?  Any problems thus far?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::scans the area carefully, knowing that carelessness is often the first step towards an untimely death::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION - Breen Troopers storm into the Observation deck from all entrances.  The few persons on the deck rush out at a frantic pace leaving only the crew of the ISS Claymore.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Tilts his head to observe Senn briefly, then stands quickly at the commotion created by the arrival of the Breen on the Observation Deck::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Thinking she would probably prefer to be one of those leaving, she holds her ground next to the doctor and waits to see what happens; keeping her hands visible.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::exhales slowly, controlling his heart rate and trying to remain calm as possible::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::About to reply to the Captain, pauses, letting her hands dangle down beside her disruptor and dagger, otherwise standing steadily, mind trained on what the Captain might order::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: After a moment, leans back against the window and waits.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns quickly at the commotion behind her, her hands drop down to her disruptor and dagger.  She waits to see what they do next before giving any word or thought to Raeyld.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::heads slowly towards the Captain, though not wanting to get too close just in case the Breen decide to blow her away::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION - The Breen Troopers block all the entrances.  On the North side of the room two of the Troopers open the doors as several Breen Officials enter followed by elite guards.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Remains close by to Senn, impassive but slightly fidgety::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her eyes narrow, but the blankness remains on her face.  She notes each aspect of what is occurring.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raising her hand slightly to the guard behind her telling him to hold back for now, as she watches the official enter.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Keeping her thoughts trained on the Captain, glances about at her crewmates, mentally frowning as she notes the Doctor is once again lacking in weapons::
Host Thot_Belv says:
All:  Let’s make this quick Captain.  ::Looks around the room at the Claymore's crew then turns and takes a seat at a small table.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Glances to Senn again, wondering if that's their cue to take up some position around the Captain::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Catching the doctors look, barely shakes her head, not moving.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods as she walks over and takes a seat across from Belv.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Reads Senn's signal loud and clear, staying put, somewhat more relaxed::
Host Thot_Belv says:
CO: So Captain why did you call me here?  Should I assume you are once again requesting more money for your services?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Waits, as always, for the Captain's decision before making a move...following the Captain to the table but sitting somewhat distant from her at the table, out of the way and seemingly unimportant::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Pulls out a small plastic box and slides it across the table to Belv.::  Thot_Belv: A gift.
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Looks at the box, then at Captain T'Shara.::  CO: A gift Captain?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at the box curiously, wondering if the Captain was able to buy tact here on the station prior to this meeting::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Shifts casually, just enough to enable her to see what is being laid down.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Thot_Belv: Yes, a gift.  ::gestures for him to open the box.::
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Nods then opens the box to reveal a Cardassian heart.::  CO: And this is?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Thot_Belv: On our last visit here you had questioned whether or not Cardassians had a heart.  Gul Tunal obviously had one at least before I cut it out.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Wonders whether the Captain had been keeping her gift in stasis in sickbay without his knowledge -- not that it's any of his business in the least::
Host Thot_Belv says:
CO:  Then your mission was a success.  ::Covers the box and hands it to one of his guards.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits back just enough to be barely slouching, yet straight enough to be yet respectful. Watches the happenings with a barely-interested air, not bothering to adjust enough to see the contents of the box::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Thot_Belv: Yes, I would also appreciate you getting the remainder of the Cardassian crew out of my holding cells.  The stench down there is getting unbearable.
Host Thot_Belv says:
CO: Agreed.  ::Turns and mumbles to his guards.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks over at the doctor with a curiously lifted brow.::
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Turns back to T'Shara.::  CO:  Anything else Captain?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::remains in the periphery, expecting this get-together to end in a shoot-out for some reason - maybe, he's hoping::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sits forward in her chair.::  Thot_Belv: Yes, now for the real reason I called you here.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Feels Senn's eyes on him and glances to her again, blinking a few times questioningly::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances casually toward Commander Davis::
Host Thot_Belv says:
CO: And that would be?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: A slight nod of her head toward the now put away gift she then barely shrugs her shoulder, indicating she would ask him later.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Thot_Belv: We are planning an attack.  The time has come to retake and reestablish the Terran Empire and to fulfill our original mission here in the Breen space.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::catches Raeyld's glance, not sure why someone hasn't killed her already::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Thot_Belv: We've come here today to formally ask for a Breen-Terran alliance.  With your help we can over throw the Klingon-Cardassian alliance and begin a new.
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Shifts in his seat.::  CO:  You ask a great deal Captain.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Returns the brief shrug, refocusing on the negotiations for the time being::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sits back with confidence in her seat.::  Thot_Belv: Indeed, but our alliance would only strengthen the Breen's territory.
Host Thot_Belv says:
CO: If we should help and dedicate ships and troops to that effort we would leave Breen space unprotected.  The Cardassians have long been looking for a way to expand into our space.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Thot_Belv: The continued growth of the Klingon’s and Cardassians is a greater threat. Strike now, and we have a chance to stake our claim in the galaxy once again.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::circles around::  Thot_Belv: But if you're happy being the medium sized fish in a piss filled pond, then by all means..
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Turns to Commander Davis.::  XO: You do make a point Commander, but we have expanded our territory while others fought over the same small piece of space.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Curls her toes within her boots, glancing away from the XO, toward Thot Belv and his entourage::
Host Thot_Belv says:
XO:  Why bother with a few sectors when you can have the rest of the galaxy?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Thot_Belv: My point exactly.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  Thot_Belv: Your expansion would be limitless without the Klingon and Cardassian scum. Why turn away a chance to rid yourself of a mortal enemy, AND a chance to expand as you see fit.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Thot_Belv: You let them dictate your own growth.. seems silly.
Host Thot_Belv says:
CO/XO:  And how would I know that the New Terran Empire would not turn around and cause just as many problems?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quietly::  Belv: Because it would take at least a century to get their act back together.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::doesn't hesitate:: Thot_Belv: Given the fact that we are fighting for our lives to reclaim this area, it's doubtful we'd be in a position.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pokes about gently, passively, within the Breen's thoughts and emotions, trying to get a reading on the Thot or his group::
Host Thot_Belv says:
CSO:  Even more of a concern.  That would mean the Breen would need to dedicate their resources to protect the New Terran Empire.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Thot_Belv: We're not asking for anything in the future. We're worried about the here and now. Beyond that, we're not immediately concerned.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: shrugs::  Belv: Not really... it would mean the others will be busy trying to keep them from attaining their desire, leaving the field clear for you... well ::shrugs::  less full.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raising an eyebrow, she nods as Commander Davis has a valid point.::  Thot_Belv: What we are offering is simple help the Claymore take over the Terran Empire and establish Breen colonies on Neptune and Pluto.  Anyone who opposes us as the new government the Breen can take care of.  Once the New Terran Empire is secure then as a new alliance together we will wipe our mutual enemies from existence.
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Looks around at the crew.::  All:  I will bring the Claymore's request to the Imperial government.  There is much to be gained by helping the Claymore.  With the past ten years as proof of what can be accomplished by a Breen-Terran Alliance.  ::Stands.::  All:  I will contact you in a few days.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Wonders how long this meeting will take, patience not one of her given virtues.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Stands a bit straighter, not sure if he expected such a diplomatic and cordial outcome::
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Moves from the table and walks to the doors as his guards follow.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: remains in a relaxed position.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands and nods.::  Thot_Belv: Very well we will wait for your response.  But, we will be moving out within the hour.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: considers what she could do in an hour and if she wanted to.::
Host Thot_Belv says:
::Stops.::  CO: Very well Captain my guards will be over to collect the rest of the Cardassians shortly.  ::Continues his walk to the door.::
Host Thot_Belv says:
ACTION - The Troopers file out of the Observation Deck in short order leaving the crew of the Claymore alone in the large room.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Once the last of the Breen has passed out through the exit, swings her chair around and kicks her feet up onto an empty chair between herself and the Captain, keeping a relaxed eye on her and her guard::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO: Interesting...
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches as the troopers and Belv leave the room.  Turns to her crew.::  XO: Get everyone to the ship, make preparations to leave in one hour.  ::hands him a padd::  These will be the coordinates we will be heading to.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::takes the padd and eyes the coordinates::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::closes out of the coordinates and nods to T'Shara::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CSO:  You could say that.  ::Shifts his weight from one foot to the other, hoping he doesn't look overly eager to return to the Claymore::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: reading the doctors body language sighs::  CMO: Let's go.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: I want the security details to start running drills around the clock.  I want all details operating at 98% before the end of the week.  Any details falling under that will spend time with Doctor Welland in the agony booth.  Is that clear?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CSO:  With you.  ::Starts off toward the docking area::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Waits in her seat, casually watching the CO and XO::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Doesn't look back at the others.::  CMO: I was successful... I hope it is what you wanted.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Raises an eyebrow while walking along, not paying very much attention::  CSO:  Hm...?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
ALL: Let's go, you heard the Captain...get your asses back to the Claymore, double-time.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Shakes her head::  CMO: When we get back.  For now, what has your attention?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::As he passes by::  XO:  Don't have to tell me twice.  ::Shifts into his speed walking gear::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CSO:  Nothing.  Just want to get back aboard.  ::Shakes his head::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Leaves the Observation Deck and heads for the docking platform.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Self: The second time I tell you I'll be talking to your head after it's been removed from your neck.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Not stopping, glances at him and barely shrugs.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Departs with the Captain, following at a short distance behind her and her guard::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::heads back to the Claymore as well::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stops and grabs a hold of the CNS arm.::  CNS: We will be making a stop to meet a contact of mine to acquire some additional intelligence.  I may need you to beam aboard their ship to get us free information if needed.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As they arrive at the docking ramp, she checks the pair of them in.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reacts in no way to the Captain's handling, merely bows her head once:: CO: Any way I can serve, Captain.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: With what species will we meet, so I can best prepare?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::notes T'Shara and Raeyld ahead of him, whispering as always::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CNS: I have no idea what the crew makeup is and I don't know if my contact will be showing up himself.  So at this point it is best to prepare for anything.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: Understood. Anything else?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Follows wordlessly onto the ramp, a bit out of breath::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CNS: Yes, keep an eye on the security details.  I'm going to be pushing them hard to bring up their efficiency ratings.  If any of them are showing signs of breaking let me know or take care of things as you see fit.  ::lets go of the CNS arm and begins walking across the docking ramp.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods once more, then drops back and slips into the shadows of another corridor::
Host SMDrew says:
