Reflections Mission 3:
Host SMDrew says:
Summary - The Claymore drifts quietly in the empty sub-sector of space a mere 5 light years from the Cardassian Border.  They sit and wait for a sign from their contact.  The information they wish to procure could help them in taking the Cardassian Sub-Space Relay Station…
Host SMDrew says:
********** Begin Mission *************
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sitting in the ready room, staring out the small window, appearing to ignore most things around her.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sitting in the chair beside the Captain's, on the bridge, slouched back a little and picking out a bit of non-existent dust from beneath her fingernail::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps off the turbolift and onto the Bridge looking around before heading toward the ready room.::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::walks out behind the CO, following her to the ready room, like the faithful Hound he is::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Standing in the ready room, uncharacteristically wearing his disruptor and knife on his left hip::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::As T'Shara has passed, stands up and follows silently into the Ready Room::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::arrives on the Bridge in the next cart, casting a similar look around the Bridge as he enters and makes his way for the Ready Room::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches as Raeyld passes in front of him, though he says and thinks nothing about her really::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Passes through into the Ready Room and steps aside just within the doorway, allowing the others to enter before she chooses a seat::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns to look at the group entering... reminding her of a Bajoran bird with her offspring tagging behind.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::arrives, but remains towards the back of the small room towards the hatch::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Enters the Ready Room along with Raeyld, nodding to everyone taking note as to who is there.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Stands at attention just as the doors open, knowing whoever's entering will require it::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: Let's get this underway shall we.  ::taking a seat.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::remains standing, hands on hips::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::remains standing behind and off to the side of the Captains chair, ready to meet out punishment or defend his Captain::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Folds his hands behind his back, still at attention, but just slightly more relaxed::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns in her chair to look at the Captain.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Once everyone has had at least a full second to choose a seat, slips over and drops into one of the few open chairs off to the side of the room, leaning back in her usual straight-slouch fashion, legs crossed languidly. Studies the carpet a moment...They ought to have it replaced. It's getting motley and stained::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: Ok I asked you all here to start making preparations for our attack on the Cardassian Subspace Relay Station CAR-558.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, almost without noticing it; he's tired of sitting around::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: This is a strategy session.  Hopefully we will be meeting up with a contact to get information on the current status of the Subspace Relay.  But, none the less we need to make plans for our attack.  It has to be fast and precise and under no circumstances can we let the Cardassians relay that they are under attack.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks around at the others sensing that some are tired of being idle and ready for the battle.::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: Data on the Sub-Space Relay Station displays on the Viewscreen.  Crew 25 persons +/- 10.  1-2 Support ships.  Limited to no weapon systems on the Station.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Observes the viewer, hoping the station’s as vulnerable as it appears to be::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::squints eyes a little, but is able to read the provided information easily nonetheless; maybe he squints out of habit::  Self: What is the value in attacking this?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: to no one::  I doubt very much it has no weapons.  They are not that stupid.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: Our goal is to take over the Relay Station and send false data to the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.  Hopefully, this pulls vessels from the Sol System and allows the Rebel fleet easier access.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues to study the carpet, thinking perhaps just a good cleaning would help remove some of the red, green, and other colors from the rugs....Picks the Relay status information from various minds, then finally looks up, first to the Captain, then to Lieutenant Senn::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches Raeyld, wondering if there is a brain inside her head given the fact that she's spent so much time studying the floor::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: So how are we going to handle this?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: It depends if there really are no weapons there or not... then again, it doesn't really matter if we are able to simply block their signal.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: A small team might have better success than the entire ship. Who knows if this area is rigged or not to detect our presence and alert someone more important right away.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: I agree with blocking the signal.  We need to confine whatever kind of transmissions they try and send.  Either send them back or just intercept them all together.  I will trust you and your team in setting that up.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  I agree with Davis.  The smaller the team, the stealthier the operation.  We don't want to tip our hand and risk being detected.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Keep in mind as well, if there is any blocks, no matter how long, that might draw suspicion.  Communication probably should not be disrupted at all.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: It might be possible if we are able to obtain a small freighter we could actually disguise ourselves to look like we are delivering supplies.  That would give us time to send over a boarding party to take over the ship before anyone knows what has happened.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CO: What about outfitting a shuttle with some sort of cloaking device?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: So are you suggesting we just intercept the transmissions so they believe they are going out instead?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: I would suggest staying behind on the ship, intercepting signals and sending altered ones to keep any suspicions at bay.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::stands walking around a bit listening.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks from Senn to Davis::
Host TO_Smithars says:
::Rushes into the Briefing Room.::  CO:  Captain sorry to bother you, but we have picked up a D'Kora Class Vessel on long range sensors.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::grabs Smithars by the throat and slams him into the bulkhead::  TO: Maybe you should try the door chime, genius.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  CSO: Sounds like a good plan Lieutenant work with your team and see what you can do to setup such a relay back and forth.  We can't afford to have any mishaps or miscommunications if that is how we are going to proceed.
Host TO_Smithars says:
::Surprised and in shock.::  XO:  Sir..  ::Chokes trying to catch his breath.::  XO:  Yes... Sir...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: sighs at the XO's response; otherwise she ignores him.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::let's go::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Understood.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Observes Smithars, half-sarcastically and in a low voice::  TO:  If you have any trouble with that later, let me know...
Host TO_Smithars says:
::Drops to the floor trying to catch his breath.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns to Smithars.::  TO: What is our eta to rendezvous?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::grins a little at Welland's remark::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Diverts her gaze from Davis momentarily to Welland::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::drops his hand to the whip:: XO/CO: Shall I deal with him?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
SEC: I think he may have learned this time...
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Puts her hand up.::  SEC: He is fine I'm sure it won't happen again.  ::reaches down to Smithars.::
Host TO_Smithars says:
CO:  They are on an intercept course and will be here in 10 minutes at their current speed.  ::Still trying to catch his breath.::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::tries not to let his disappointment show:: CO/XO: As you wish.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO: Understood.  Keep me posted
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances at Marcus and nominally shakes her head in disgust with their actions.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::in a low tone::  SEC: Don't worry there will be plenty of action soon enough.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Smithars, noting that the tactical officer needs an extra regimen of physical fitness training; he didn't even choke him that hard::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Refolds his hands behind his back, catching Senn's reaction out of the corner of his eye, lowering his head a bit::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::grins ferally, and lets out a low growl. then whispers:: CO: thank you Ma'am.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO, CSO: If we alter our own comm signals, couldn't we convince the relay station that we are a Cardassian vessel?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to Karlsson::
Host TO_Smithars says:
::Stands.::  CO:  Of course Captain.  ::Turns and leaves the briefing room.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Her attention caught for a bit by his growl, looks over to Karlsson::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: considers::  CO: Perhaps... I would need to study their signals a bit.  For one thing, we do not know what they might have piggybacking their comms as a warning.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Uncrosses her legs and crosses them the other way::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::thinking::  CSO: We could signal in with comm problems, in that case.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CSO: Give them just enough to know we are Cardassian, but not enough to know that we aren't.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: Still need to do a bit of studying.  I would rather do this right the first time.
Host TO_Smithars says:
*CO*:  Captain we are receiving a hail from the approaching vessel.  Shall I patch it to the briefing room?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Quietly::  XO/CSO:  If we get the comm signal right, it should work.  Cardassian stations aren't exactly well-known for their good long range sensor capability.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CSO: This isn't a frickin chemistry exam. We need to execute, not study.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Placing her hands on the desk::  XO,CSO: Agreed Senn.  We can't afford to make any mistakes.  Working with the idea that we are a Cardassian ship and in trouble might help disguise the comm warning problem.  See what you can do Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Ignores Davis, he is a fool at times, though he does have a few points in his favor... sometimes.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*TO*: Aye patch it through.  ::straightens up from the table::
Host TO_Smithars says:
::Patches the comm into the briefing room.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Resumes studying the carpet::
Host TO_Smithars says:
ACTION:  The screen changes from the Cardassian relay information to a well dressed figure.
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
COM: Claymore: Captain it is good to see you again.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns and looks at the screen.::  *Tarr-Ress_Renor*: It has been a while Renor.  You are looking well.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Lifts a brow at the familiar Ferengi::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Renor, thinking that he reminds him of a Ferengi he killed two months ago::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Blinks a few times at the viewer, wondering...::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Wonders if this is the Captain's contact she'd mentioned.  Remains unchanged as she senses Senn and Welland's reactions::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Gives a side glance with a lifted brow at Marcus.::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
::Looks around at the crew over the viewscreen.::  *CO*:  As are you T'Shara.  My ship is at your service.  I was told you needed some information on the Cardassian relay station CAR-558.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Turns slightly to Senn, wordlessly conveying his surprise::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Hmm...::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Barely shrugs as it is of little importance, all debts were paid in full.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Shrugs also, turning back to the viewer with interest::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*Renor*: Aye, I am looking for whatever information you might have to aid me.  Would you care to beam aboard and have a drink with an old friend to discuss this matter?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Turns her hand over to study her own palm, tracing the creases with her fingernail::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
*CO*:  As you wish T'Shara.  We are here to do whatever we can for your cause.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances up finally to the Ferengi::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands with her hand on a skull next to her, watching the viewer.::  *Renor*: Beam directly to my location then and we will get on with it.
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
::Nods.::  *CO*:  I will see you shortly.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::nods, as the viewscreen returns to normal blackness.::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
ACTION:  The view screen goes blank and within minutes a uniformed Ferengi materializes in the briefing room.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Studies the Ferengi quietly from her seat::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: crossing her arms, watches him.::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
::Takes a deep breath after materializing and looks around the room.::  All:  Greetings.  ::Turns and nods to Welland and Senn.::  All:  It has been a long time, but there are some familiar faces here.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::walks over to where Renor stands::  Renor: I would do the introductions but as I can tell by many faces most know you from past experiences.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Just nods, not really thinking this is his time or place for speaking::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Lifts a brow in response.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::just nods, really wanting to tear the spine out of this Ferengi pig and beat him with it::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
::Nods.::  All:  Then here is what I have T'Shara.  ::Hands her a padd.::  All:  We had a freighter deliver to that area three days ago.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances again to Davis::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: curious to the price.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::raises an eyebrow interest peeked,  takes the padd and begins scanning it.::  Renor: A freighter by chance would we be able to make use of a freighter as part of a way to get into the Relay station and take control?
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
All:  Our ship encountered little Cardassian traffic, but there is a Cardassian war ship that patrols the area.
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
::Turns to T'Shara.::  CO:  If that is what you need then you shall have it.  I will contact my ship and have one here for you.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Why don't we just use his?
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
XO:  Mine would not work for your needs Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Renor: Why might that be?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Renor: Thank you.  I have to ask though what will all of this help cost me?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Finally stands from her chair, shifting quietly, casually along the perimeter of the room, ever so slowly::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
XO:  Simple my ship is not in the business to deliver trinkets to the Cardassians.   I have much more important tasks to deal with.  However I can have a freighter here that the Cardassian's have grown a custom too.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::eyes the Ferengi, wanting nothing more than to bury his axe between its ears::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Noting the counselor’s movement, only.::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods head sarcastically::  Renor: Oh, right, more important things...
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::makes a note to terminate this scum when the opportunity avails itself:
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches as Raeyld makes her way around the room.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: curious of the answer Renor will make to the Captain::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
CO:  T'Shara I think we can work something out.  Since I have word of other Terran movement and our long standing history I would be willing to cut you a break.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks to Renor, then the Captain, knowing that if she could apparently work out an agreement with the Breen, then negotiating with Renor should be a snap::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
::Turns to look at Lt. Senn and smiles.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: blinks::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues along, moving past behind Senn and Welland....pausing as the Ferengi looks their way::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::takes down his axe from the carrier at his back, resting his hands comfortably on its but, blade against the ground::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: after a moment, returns the look with a lifted brow.::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
All:  I will take my leave.  Please look over the data and I will send for a freighter.  We will remain in the area until it arrives.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow and watches as he looks at Senn wondering what the two have between them.::  Renor: Again my thanks Renor.  I'm sure you will let me know what kind of arrangement or deal we can make for your help in this matter.
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
::Turns back to T'Shara.:: CO:  Of course T'Shara.   ::Pulls out a communicator and contacts his ship.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues around the room::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Ignores the Captain's curiosity, her own thoughts drifting to possibilities.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pauses again, a couple meters from Davis::
Host Tarr-Ress_Renor says:
ACTION:  The Ferengi beams off the Claymore and back onto his own ship.  Data transfer of additional information streams in from the Marauder.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Raeyld, hoping to convey the expression "Get the hell away from me" without saying a word::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches as Raeyld stops near Davis and wonders what she is sensing from her XO.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns lazily to look at the Captain.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::From her paused place, leans back against the wall, her attention seemingly fully upon whatever the Captain may next say, suddenly extremely attentive-looking...for her, at least::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Decides to break the silence::  CO:  Your orders, Supreme Commander?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Notes the additional data coming in from the Marauder and puts it up on the viewer.::  All: Well he didn't waste any time here is the additional data from Renor's ship.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::tenses up as Raeyld nears the XO, wondering if he'll need to give the XO a Warriors death::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: tempted to roll her eyes at Marcus, but refrains from acknowledging his odd humor.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: We'll set course for CAR-558 in 8 hours.  Make sure you submit to me all tactical options prior to our departure.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Leans forward to read the data.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: Does anyone have anything else to add before you get back to work?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Do you have a time frame in mind?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Shakes his head, back to his usual reticent self::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Speaks for the first time in an hour:: CO/All: I've scheduled Commander Davis and Lieutenant Karlsson for counseling sessions to take place in succession immediately following the briefing.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CNS: Schedule it some other time. I have things to do.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances at the two for a moment of compassion and then turns back to the Captain for her answer.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: CAR-558 is 36 hours from here.  Once we are ready to go we will immediately attack the Relay Station.  So I suggest you have everything ready before then.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CNS: I cannot protect the Captain with your hooks in my mind, Find another pawn Counselor. My Loyalty is unquestioned.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Considers a moment::  CO: Possible. I will get on it right away.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Wonders if he should have an engineer take a look at the booth::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues to look T'Shara's way, as if she'd not heard, let alone sensed before he's spoken it, Davis' rebellion::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CNS: Acknowledged Counselor.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: See that you do.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::growls low:: CNS/CO: As you Wish Captain... ::swings his axe back up into its carrier::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shakes head, knowing he has no intention of going to some babbling session with the ships de jure political officer::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::walks over to the XO:: XO: Commander I'm sure you can take time out of your busy schedule to meet with the Counselor for a few minutes before we get under way.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Taking the Captains orders for dismissal, stands and heads out the door, her mind turning to the problem::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All: If there is nothing else you are dismissed.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: I'm sure you have better things to do than check up on the two of us.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Placing her hand on Karlsson's shoulder:: SEC: I'm sure I will be fine and knowing Raeyld she will not keep you long since I need you at my side.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Nods and walks out past the loitering crew, making for the turbolift::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Walks away from the XO and CO as if there were no conflict whatsoever::
Host SMDrew says:
