The Rest Is Silence, Part 7

With the Doctor being taken hostage by the Vendori, the crew of the Kraken try to find ways to get him back while the USS Scimitar's transmission probe is blown to smithereens by the Vendory warbird who re-cloaks before either ship can respond.

The crew of both ships attempt to use their deflectors, along with the planetary defence satellites to triangulate the warbird, and successfully disable it...but the whole Vendori crew manage to beam down to Jevorim.

The disabled warbird was tractored by the Scimitar, who is now examining it for clues....but a startling discovery was made by the Scimitar crew, as they discover that this is the same warbird they faced a few days earlier, and destroyed the Devourer, their guide into Romulan space..

<<<<<<<<<<Resume>>>>>>>>>>

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::tries to figure out how to scan a planet full of Romulans for a specific group of Romulans that could be anywhere::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::is on the bridge at the TAC station as she thought she would be different this shift::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::works the console, setting up a new roster:: Self: Damn job's gonna give me an ulcer...

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::In sickbay keeping himself busy::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looking at the sensor data:: SO: Like finding a needle in a haystack ... if only we had a magnet.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CSO: Do we have any environmental scans of the Vendori vessel?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::sits in the big seat, hiding her discomfort at being in charge::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::is checking her configuration she put  in order that she has a some kind of hope of missing her own ships when firing::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
XO: Ma'am, that last round shorted out our main torpedo launcher's firing sequencer, but the other's are working fine. I have my people on it.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
SO: From the moment her shields went down we should have that data. Are you thinking of using environmental properties?

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CSO: Potentially. I'm not sure how much good it will do with the calibre of our sensors. Maybe if we had a dozen ships working in unison, or something.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CEO: Understood. ::clears her throat::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
SO: We don't have a dozen, but we have three. Do you think you can slave the warbird sensors to your console?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::listens to the Science team chatting back and forth before tapping her comm badge:: *CMO*: Suder to Doctor DuPont.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::turns around:: CSO: Actually...I have an idea..

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::sighs softly and rubs his face, suddenly feeling really tired:: CSO: I'd need an hour or so to put some kind of translation matrix to- ::stops and listens to the CEO::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*XO* DuPont here

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks at Adalberto:: CEO: We are listening.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
*CMO*: As soon as you have been cleared, I expect you up here. Can you give me an ETA? ::sips her coffee, trying to stave away the tiredness she's feeling::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::listens to the conversation of the bridge::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*XO* I'm on my way Commander

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CSO/SO: The Scimitar have taken the warbird and are examining her systems, if we can get an uplink into their transporter systems, we might get the information from their transporter buffers and feed that into our scanners...given they didn't purge the system, but they were in a hurry.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::nods with satisfaction::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::smiles:: CEO/SO: They were in a hurry so it is unlikely they had time to delete the records. Let's try it.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::slouches a little in her seat, secretly grateful to have the CEO around. Despite his occasionally disagreeable nature, he's at least good at his job::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Grabs a few medicinal necessities and heads for the bridge::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: I like the way you think.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::turns to her console:: SO/CEO: So, the Scimitar has probably already established a connection. I will contact their OPS department.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CSO: Good. ::turns away, not wanting to talk to that blue blooded smurf on the Scimitar::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::picks up a nearby PADD and looks over his upgrade proposal again while the CSO and CEO try their thing::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::nods to the SO::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
SO: I don't think we should abandon your plan of using the environmental parameters to look for the Romulans.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::catches a vague feeling of discomfort as she watches the CEO work and wonders at it before tuning back in:: TO: Koraz, Can you prepare teams to beam to the surface. I want us ready in case we need to get down there.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::suddenly remembers she was to prepare the AT teams so starts looking at roster::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::grabs his hydro-spanner and removes the plating covering his console's internal workings:: Self: Damn ship being held together by hope and spit...

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::after a short talk with Ensign Vettel:: SO/CEO: We can access their records, relayed through the Scimitar. Let's see how far i can go. ::tries to access the warbird's transporter records.::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CSO: Alright. ::sets the PADD down:: I'll get to work on that matrix. ::gets to work on that matrix::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::sees the CMO enter the Bridge:: CMO: Hi Doc

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
XO: Commander, you rang?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::waves the CMO to sit in the XO's seat:: CMO: Doctor. ::sips her coffee::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::takes a seat and waves at the TO::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::chuckles slightly as she sees the CMO wave and gets back to sorting out the AT::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::crosses her legs in the CMO's direction and leans in:: CMO: Firstly, welcome back on board.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CSO: Go ahead....I'm trying to keep the uplink going, but the damn comm system took a beating..

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::pulls a few wires out and starts rewiring::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::scratches her head at the amount of apparent gibberish she finds on the Romulan computer:: CEO: I guess neither system was designed to talk to each other.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Nods at the XO listening::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CSO: I guess the Romulan computers take after their masters then..

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CMO: I want to know what happened, who you saw, and your impressions of your captors. Anything may be useful from here on in. ::cups her coffee in her hands, warming them up as she examines the CMO::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::inserts the wiring again and taps the console:: Self: Aha!

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO/CSO: Yeah, it's not like their software is based off a completely different language and syntax, or anything...

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::his console goes black:: Self: WHAT?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::nods::CEO/SO: I think I have it ... yes this is it. But it is encrypted. I can have the computer run through it but it will take a while.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
XO: Not much to say Commander, Romulan desperadoes who kidnapped me to try and save their commanding officer while threatening me and then throwing me in their brig, before I was rescued.....Come to think of that how did you find me assuming the Warbird was cloaked?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::starts the decrypting algorithm and then glances at Adalberto::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::moves over to the CEO while the matrix compiles:: CEO: Need a hand?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::sighs and looks up:: SO: Dozen if you have them, the whole subsystem is down...it's been one beating after another this week..

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Finishes the roster and starts checking the TAC systems to see what the CEO has fixed or hasn't fixed::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::scratches his chin, looking thoughtfully at the console before giving it a firm kick::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::waves her hand around the bridge:: CMO: Magic. Did you get any impression of the people. Any hint of their mood?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::as the computer finishes the decryption much earlier than expected she frowns and looks at the result::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::sees the XO waving her hand around and thinks its very odd but goes back to tapping on the TAC controls:: ::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::shrugs as the console fails to fix itself:: CEO: Worked on the Pharaoh.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::glares at the SO::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
SO: Don't kick my baby.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
SO: Only I get to kick her

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: I assure you, it was a kick of love!

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::grins::

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The CEO's console goes back online.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
SO/CEO: I am afraid the Romulan records are a dead end. The data is corrupted. I don't know if it was due to the link or if they are like that on the warbird storage system. Perhaps if we sent someone over we would get a better idea.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CSO: We can try and ask the Scimitar's personnel to access the systems directly?

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
XO: Well other than the extreme measures they took to save their commanding officer, I'd say that he must be someone of importance. Other than the hygienic state of their brig, I'd say their acting like any other Romulan, overbearing, obnoxious, an inborn sense of superiority. They were normal!

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CEO: I think they would have to physically go  there.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::grins as the console comes to life:: CEO: Ta-daaa!

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
SO: Sometimes Mr.  Sumner I feel your true calling is not science. It is perhaps something more .... violent.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::tests the console, then looks back at Sumner:: SO: Not bad. You want to join Gamma shift tonight? We could use a hand.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::bites her lip and thinks:: CMO: Thank you, doctor. Unless you can think of anything else, you are dismissed. We don't know what lies ahead, so prepare Sickbay as you see fit. ::finished her coffee and hands the cup the the CMO:: Recycle that on your way out, will you?

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::regards the Ensign thoughtful for a moment:: CSO: What could be more violent than science? CEO: Sure, sleep is boring.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CEO: Chief when will all the TAC systems be up and running ?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks at the SO and blinks but doesn't respond::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
SO: Good man.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::goes back to his station and checks the status on the translation matrix::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
SO/CSO: So we are back to scanning the surface. Unless we convince someone to beam into the warbird.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::receives a report and hits his commbadge:: *Engineering*: Engineering, what the hell is going on with the secondary recycling system?? Get that under control!

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CSO: Well, I can go, if someone else wants to watch the translation matrix. I'll need a tricorder and a hydro-spanner.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::glances down at her armrest console, totally ignoring the CMO now she's done with him::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Takes the cup and walks into the CO's ready room where he places it back in the recycler::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::hums to herself quietly while waiting for the CEO to answer her::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::not looking up from her reading:: CSO: Update, Ensign?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
SO: I can take care of the Matrix. Maybe you should take someone from engineering. I'll ask Commander Suder.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::signs and turns to face Koraz:: TO: Everything except main torpedo launchers are working....more or less.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Leaves the CO's ready room and the bridge and heads back to sickbay::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::nods at the CSO:: CEO: Can you spare any techs? An extra pair of eyes and hands would be helpful.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks up as her name is mentioned:: XO: Ah, Commander. I am afraid we made little progress. There is nothing really do distinguish the Vendori from other Romulans on the planet. We are trying to use their ship's environmental data to find them but it will take some time. There may be however an alternative.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::looks at the SO and then the XO:: SO: I wouldn't mind taking a look myself to be honest..

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::wishes A'an was on the bridge, but knows even Captains with the biggest egos need a nap sometimes.::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: Well, if the ship can spare you...

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::stands up:: SO: Not really, but who cares.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CSO: And that is? ::glances at the CEO, too, assuming he's got a hand in this plan::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
XO: We tried to access the Warbird's transporter records but the data was corrupted. We might get better luck accessing it directly. Lt Sumner has volunteered to go if you approve.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CEO: More or less is going to help when if we have any surprises... ::realises what she said:: I know your team are doign there best

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
TO: Damn right they are.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::starts thinking about heading to the Security office::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::can think of a few people who'd care, but doesn't mention any; waits for the XO's go-ahead::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
:;Arrives back in sickbay:; Self: Hmm I still dont know how they beamed me back onboard?

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
XO: OH Ma'am away teams are ready for when ever you want then to go down

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::looks over at the SO, takes a moment to think:: TO: Scan that ship for possible booby-traps. Then, join Sumner. I'm not sending someone over there alone.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
XO: What about me?

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::raises her eye brow:: Aye Ma'am ::Scans the ship::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::takes that as a yes:: SO/CEO: I'll keep a lock on you at all times. There might be booby-traps.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO: The CEO was gonna join me. I have TAC experience, and can bring a rifle. I'm sure the TO would be best off manning the guns.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
SO: excuse me!!!!!!

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
XO: I have...some tactical experience ma'am...We'll be fine, and the Scimitar has teams onboard already.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::eyes the CEO up:: CEO: Very well. You go over. ::leans back in her seat:: TO: Koraz, stay here.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::smiles:: XO: Yes ma'am!

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
XO: Scimi teams have already trying to deactivate booby traps ::slightly annoyed now::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::thinks a few hours without Tony on the bridge will be a benefit to everyone anyway::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::looks to Koraz:: TO: We're in hostile territory, Ensign. You're the senior tac officer here, and if the ship gets in a fight, both the Kraken and Scimitar will depend on you. Don't worry, we can handle this. ::looks to the CEO:: CEO: I'll meet you at the transporter room.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COMM: Scimitar: Suder to Idrani.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::nods at the SO and heads for the Turbolift::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
SO: Since when did I become a senior officer.. I'm an ensign  thank you ...please don't insult me

Host Andrew says:
<S-ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM:XO: Yes Commander?

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::decides since she's the senior officer she had best scan the area::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COM: A-CO: I'm sending a few of my crew over to the ship. They have transporter logs to root out on site. I hope that won't be a problem.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::shakes his head at the TO and grabs his tricorder before heading to another TL:: TL: Armoury.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks up at the view-screen and listens to the conversation::

Host Andrew says:
<S-ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: XO: Not a problem. We believe we'd disabled the booby traps, but your officers should still tread carefully. I'll tell my away team to expect visitors.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::looks at Idrani on the view-screen before stepping inside the Turbolift::

Host Andrew says:
<S-ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> ::looks visibly relieved when the CEO disappears from the bridge::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COM: A-CO: Thank you, Captain. Looks like it's turning into quite the party over there. I'll have my Away Team co-ordinate with yours. ::smiles briefly, her nerves showing through for a split second::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::grabs a rifle and heads for the transporter room::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::notices there nothing around and sighs::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Checks sickbay to make sure its at optimal readiness::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::leans against the railing inside the car as it travels downwards, his thoughts taking him back to that day...::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::continues scanning the surface and compiling Sumner's matrix::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::lies down on a biobed to have a nap::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Waits in the transporter room, fiddling with the settings on the rifle::

Host Andrew says:
<S-ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> ::gives the XO a smile of confidence, a reminder of their earlier discussion and signs off::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::taps her comm badge after the screen darkens:: *CEO/SO*: When you make it over, make contact with the Scimitar's Away Team. They'll be expecting you.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::steps into the Transporter room:: *XO*: Aye ma'am.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::not looking forward to seeing his old tactical team::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
*XO*: Understood. ::steps onto the pad::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
*CEO/SO*: Good luck gentlemen. Keep me informed.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::grabs a phaser from the SO and nods::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
TC: Ready.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::prepares to establish a transporter lock once the transporter room beams the CEO and SO::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::takes a deep breath, thinking: everything will be fine as long as this chair doesn't break...::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::glances over to the CEO:: CEO: Is it true you got your leg cut off?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::just looks at the SO and doesn't answer::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: I bet it hurt.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::bites down before he says something...or does something he would regret::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: I had a piece of shrapnel lodged in my neck once from a console explosion. They got me into stasis pretty quick, though.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::starts to say something, but stops::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::takes a deep breath:: SO: I don't know you, Mr. Sumner. But please, just shut up.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::lightly taps his finger against the side of the rifle, looking around quietly at the transporter room as they just stand there::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
TC: I said we're ready!

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The away team are beamed away...
