Last time on the Scimitar...

The Scimitar crew reported to Vice Admiral Chandra to receive their next set of mission orders. The crew has been ordered to find and apprehend Commander Thalev Idrani, former XO of the ship and now wanted Andorian by Starfleet for treason and theft of Starfleet property.

Meanwhile back on the ship, the bridge staff had to deal, tactfully, with a group of school children and their teacher - who proceeded to wreck havoc on the Captain's chair. The ship has now departed DS9 and is en route to Andor to begin their investigation.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::on the Bridge, ignoring the purple colours on the Captain's chair::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: sitting at her station ready to take off at a moment’s notice :: 

CEO Ens. Peake says:
:: Enters the bridge and notices the Captain’s Chair and wonders what happened::

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::glances at the doorway, recognizing the CEO and then returning to his gaze of the viewscreen::

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
FCO: Ensign, what is our ETA?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::sits by his desk, going through some reports filed by Commander Idrani while serving on the Tal-War::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: ETA is about 3 hours to Andor..

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Walks toward the RR door and knocks::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Outloud: Come in !

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Enters the room and salutes:: CO: Ensign Peake reporting, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Did you get lost, ensign?

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
 COM: Scimitar: USS Scimitar, this is Ensign Amuz

CO Capt. Rome says:
::stands up:: CEO: I expected you over an hour ago.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
:::sits up:: FCO: Can you get that transmission on screen, Ensign?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: I'll try :: taps a few buttons and tries to clear up the transmission to put on screen :: 

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Sorry, sir. I had a few "problems" on DS9.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::rises from his chair:: COM: Amuz: This is Commander Ren Ro'kar, Executive Officer

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: We left the station a while ago, ensign. You are an hour late.

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@::appears on the screen, looking at the others:: COM: Ro'kar: Commander Ro'kar... yes, you are the one I need to speak to

CO Capt. Rome says:
::sits down:: CEO: Take a seat.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::Sits down::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: looks on in interest :: 

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
COM: Amuz: And you are?

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@ COM: Ensign Khethiwe Amuz, former CTO of the Tal-war and Scimitar. I need to speak to you

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: I picked you for this assignment out of a long list of names, that's unusual for me to pick an Ensign for this position.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Engineering is a big responsibility, ensign. I will count on you to be there when I call and do the job to the best of your abilities. No matter what.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
COM: Amuz: Well I am here, what is it? ::nods to the TO to do the necessary background checks::

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@ COM: XO: Thale- Commander Idrani is not here. His parents went missing a few weeks back and he has gone to look for them. He was given an ancient Andorian artifact which seemed to have a message from his parents.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Wishes he wasn't late:: CO: Sir, you will be able to count on me, and I think that you made the right choice in picking me.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Coffee?

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@ COM: XO: Admiral Shinra denied his request to investigate and ordered him to return the artifact for Starfleet Science to investigate. ::a scowl crossing her face::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: No thank you, sir. The less jittry I am the better in this job.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
COM: Amuz: Why are you telling me this and not wanting to speak to Captain Rome?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles:: CEO: You will soon learn the benefits of coffee, ensign.

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@COM: XO: No. Thalev said that I must talk to you specifically. Not Rome, or MacAllister or anyone else, but you.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::pours himself another cup::

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::raises his eyebrow:: COM: Amuz: Ok, anything more, Ms. Amuz?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: I was given the same assignment as you when I was just an Ensign, did you know that ?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: No I didn't....

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@COM: XO: Yes, Thalev is not a criminal. The artifact was his property and any 'Federation' property he 'stole' was his to begin with. The shuttle he took was from a Talarian that owed him a favour

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: The U.S.S Cherokee, and old ship...always falling apart. ::smiles as the memories bring him back::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Then I was transferred to this ship, and I was the Chief Engineer here for many years.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
COM: Amuz: I see... ::glances back at the TO who nods to say she is who she claims to be:: And why do you know Commander Idrani so well?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: I have a question, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Go ahead.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: What happened to the previous CEO? I read his report and it said that he died, but not how...

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@COM: XO: He is my partner, Commander. And I would like permission to transfer to your vessel, temporarily, to aid you in his rescue. I... I know him better than all of you, he might need a familiar face to come back to the ship

CO Capt. Rome says:
::sighs::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Lieutenant Commander Strauss, my successor.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::frowns, glancing back at the Tactical station:: COMM: Amuz: How good are you with a phaser?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Missing in action, thought to have died during an orbital assault......he was a good friend of mine, and I could always count on him to take care of my ship. So when I say I picked you, don't take it lightly.

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@COMM: XO: With all due respect, I am half-Ligonian, Commander, don't insult me

CO Capt. Rome says:
::Stands up abruptly::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Have you familiarized yourself with Engineering yet?

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::smiles:: COMM: Amuz: Then welcome to the Scimitar, send your coordinates to my FCO and we will beam you aboard.

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
@COMM: XO: Thank you sir. ::sends her coordinates as well as the registration of her shuttle to the FCO so she can tractor it in::

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
*CO*: Commander Ro'kar to Captain Rome.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Stands aswell:: CO: Yes, sir. This was the main reason I was late, I wanted to personnally take a look at the ship.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: gets all that information :: ends the transmission :: XO: I have a bad feeling on this one.. just an FYI..

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Ready to beam her aboard

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Good, then for now you familiarize yourself with your Bridge station. Follow me and get to work.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::glances at the FCO:: FCO: Go ahead and explain why you have a bad feeling, Ensign

CO Capt. Rome says:
::steps onto the Bridge:: XO: Yes, Commander?

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::glances back at the CO:: CO: Captain, we have a new addition to the Scimitar. Ensign Khethiwe Amuz, Commander Idrani's partner and former CTO of this vessel

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Just the way she was talking I'm not sure if she's telling the WHOLE truth.. I'd prefer to run a background on her before she comes aboard. 

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::Exits the RR::

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
FCO: By all means, Ensign. I would not want it any other way

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Excuse me? When did this happen?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: or bring her aboard and we can do the checks quietly.. 

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: While you were briefing the CEO, sir. ::looks him in the eye:: She informs me that Idrani has taken a shuttle that was given to him by a Talarian that owed him a favour. He has gone to find his parents based on an ancient Andorian artifact he received

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: I have the entire transmission on record if you wish to review it, sir

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::looks up from his console to pay attention to what is being said::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: When I asked you to update me and get me all the information on Idrani.....it just slipped your mind to involve me in this ?

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
FCO: Beam her aboard, keep her in the transporter room until we can confirm her identity

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes his seat:: XO: Have her brought here afterwards, under guard. Those two are very close, we can't know if she has an ulterior motive.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood.. :: transports the new addition to the crew aboard and keeps her in the Transporter Room :: 

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::replies quieter:: CO: Captain, with all due respect, I was the ranking officer on the Bridge. I have no desire to undermine your authority, but I need you to trust my judgement

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO/XO: Transporter Records match, Its' definately Amuz.. 

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles:: XO: Of course Commander. Sorry, this whole mission has my mind racing.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: I am involving you, now, after making a decision to take Amuz on board and use her as a first hand source of information about the Commander

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Let's have her debrief us then when she comes.

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Have you gone through the information I asked you for ?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::raises an eyebrow at the tone of the conversation going on between the CO and XO::

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Yes sir ::hands him the PADD on his arm rest:: That's all I have right now

CO Capt. Rome says:
::steals a peek at the CEO, making sure he's not too lost::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Thank you. ::starts reading the PADD::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Do we have the coordinates where he acquired this Talarian freighter?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Sir, what would you like me to start with?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Work with Science, he has the schematics for the vessel Commander Idrani took off in, find his trail. ::looks over at Powers and nods::

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: No, Captain but perhaps Ensign Amuz has the information

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir, sorry to interrupt but I don't suppose you have been given the warp signature for the shuttle have you? It would make tracking it much easier.

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: It's safe to assume Andor is a possible system, we will start there. Until Amuz tells us otherwise.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::brings up his armrest computer screen and accesses Amuz's personnel file, not having seen her in a while.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Never mind... here it is. ::finds the required data in the schematics::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Steps over to the  CSO:: CSO: Could I have a look at the schematics, Lieutenant?

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
 ::enters the Bridge, glancing around at her former home::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::stands up:: Amuz: Ensign, welcome back.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CEO: Knock yourself out. I'm sure you'll probably think of something I have overlooked.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::follows Amuz’s movements and smiles softly as a semi-greeting::

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
CO: Thank you, sir. You must be Captain Rome? ::offers her hand in the terran greeting::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes her hand:: Amuz: We met briefly back when I was here only as a specialist for Captain MacAllister.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CSO: Great...

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: Sir, I have a Talarian vessel at the edge of long range sensors. It's travelling at warp 7.

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
 CO: I see. Forgive me, my mind has been.... distracted recently

CO Capt. Rome says:
::turns his attention to Powers:: CSO: Visual ?

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
FCO: Start plotting an intercept course, Ensign Uax

CO Capt. Rome says:
Amuz: Ensign, all information you think matters or might matter in our search, please divulge now.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: It's right on the edge of sensor range so it's still too far out for a visual, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
Amuz: I have no desire to bring Idrani before a court martial, but to help him.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CSO: Can you compare it to our records ?

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Increase to warp 9. ETA ?

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
 CO: Thalev is a smart Andorian, warrior to his core, you will not get him to surrender. ::smiles softly:: He is stubborn and headstrong, but will listen to reason. He is not a criminal

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Keep an eye on the engines, Ensign.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: I'll give it a go but it might not be in range much longer. It's travelling away from us.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Understood Increasing to warp 9 on an intercept course. 

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: ETA 1 hour.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::mutters:: All: We do crazy things for our family

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::attempts to compare the ship with the records::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CSO: We might catch a better look now, Lieutenant.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Yes, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
Amuz: No need to tell me, I served with the bastard for years.

CO Capt. Rome says:
Amuz: Excuse my Klingon.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::walks over to the Science station::

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
CO: Then you know you cannot just bully him into surrendering ::fixes him with a steel gaze::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Amuz: Not my intention. Take a seat. ::motions for the third seat::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Give me maximum warp, Ensign.

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Try and hail the vessel, Stephanie.

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
 ::glances at the seat in trepidation before sitting down::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Yes Sir, :: taps a few buttons:: hailing frequencies open sir.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: Sir, it is definitely the same ship. The warp signatures match.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: On it, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
COMM: Talarian vessel: Blue man group. Pick up the phone.

Thalev Idrani says:
COM: Scimitar: This isn't a good time. You're a bit late... ::noises in the background of systems blowing out::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: ETA at maximum warp ?

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
::sits bolt upright at the sound of Idrani, her hands gripping the arm rest::

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Idrani: Smurf, slow down. Let me take you onboard. I heard you have a mission. The Scimitar is at your disposal.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Recommend putting Amuz on Tactical sir

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Denied. Take tactical yourself if needed.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::doesn't fully trust Amuz::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: 40 minutes, more or less.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Do it.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Understood, sir ::moves to Tactical::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: WE could push the engines harder to get there faster but would risk burning out a few relays in the process.. 

Ens. Khethiwe Amuz says:
::thinks:: Self: If you think I am gonna just sit here, you are sadly mistaken...sir...

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Work with the CEO if I give the word.

Thalev Idrani says:
COM: CO: My disposal? Who sent you? Was it Shinra?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Understood.. 

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CEO: Let's see about boosting the warp drive a bit.. 

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Idrani: Of course she sent me you bluthering idiot. You are wanted for treason. But let me help you. I promise I won't arrest you. Let me help.

XO Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::watches the screen curiously, his stomach turning slightly::

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Idrani: Remember when I was lost? You and Ethan found me. I owe you.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
FCO: Right ::Mutters unders his breath about the engines being his job::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::leans against the railing on the Bridge, staring at the stars on the viewscreen::

Thalev Idrani says:
 COM: CO: Okay I accept but you may be too late. It's about to happen again.

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Idrani: What is? I'm coming, thirty minutes tops.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Boost power to the engines!

ACTION: With a large surging noise coming through the comm, Idrani's vessel crackles and intensifies. With a large flash, it disappears as it begins to careen off course. All that is left behind is a loose hull plate.
