Last time on the Scimitar: The crew of the Scimitar manage to get their hands on a Romulan warbird, once belonging to the Vendori, a group of raiders bent on destabilizing what is left of the empire. Using what they have learned so far, the senior crew, in cahoots with Captain Rome, believe that a S31 operative may have infiltraded the Praetor's inner circle...to what end?

	Begin mission: "In wolf’s clothing" - Part 1	

ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::steps onto the transporter pad::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::in the transporter pad, she takes a deep breath and prepares herself for the teleport::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::carries two duffel bag of power converters:: ACO: You can never be too careful. ::smiles::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
EO: Good thinking. ::nods:: Chief: Energise.
 
<TC_Ulte>
 ACO: Aye Captain. Godspeed. ::energizes::
 
ACTION: The whole senior crew, along with a select few, materialize on the warbird's bridge.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::as the universe settles around her (or she settles in the universe), Laeena steps towards the equivalent of the operations console::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
All: Take your stations. I want to depart as soon as possible.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::drops his luggage by the door and goes about to find the Engineering station::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::checks the warbird status, particular for power, life support and engine stability::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks at a green blinking light and hesitates for a moment, then taps it, looking at the screen:: Self: Oh, communications.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO: Incoming transmission from Captain Rome, encrypted.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::watches the crew get stuck in:: OPS: In my... ::pauses:: office? ::gestures to an adjacent room then heads towards it::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods:: ACO: Connecting it through. ::taps the console and hopes for the best::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::enters his new ready room and notices the smell before activating his screen:: COM: Rome: Captain.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome:
COM: ACO: Captain. I trust the operative has made contact?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::as she sees some more green and orange lights, indicating the singularity is fully connected to the engine, she begins the start-up procedures::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
COM: Rome: I have the coordinates, yes. ::nods::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::she begins activating the main systems. Not quite sure which is the most efficient order, she follows Starfleet's procedures::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome:
COM: ACO: Good. I don't know what you should expect, so be careful. ::looks away:: Okay, someone is trying to trace my illegal channel....I will be in touch again when…
 
ACTION: The line cuts.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::doesn't try to re-establish a connection, and smiles remembering how Suder had managed to get the coordinates to him::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::takes a deep breath as he tries to study the singularity power levels:: OPS: I am.....baffled by this.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::turns to Spencer:: EO: Baffled. I believe that can either mean you are impressed with the technology or that you don't understand it. I hope it is the former.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
OPS: Afraid not....not like we had much time to prepare. What scans we've seen of a warbird never compare to the real thing.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::scrathes the back of his neck:: OPS: But from what I gather...we have full impulse and warp. However thrusters....I don't know where the controls are.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
EO: Indeed nothing compares to firsthand experience. The laws of physics are the ones we learned and if the Romulans can do it, so can we.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::smiles at her:: OPS: Well put.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::walks back onto the bridge::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
EO: We will need them if we need to dock. ::looks at her console thoughtful::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
All: Captain on the Bridge.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::glances at Spencer's eagerness, and then at Idrani::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
EO: Relax, Spence.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::smiles:: ACO: Sorry sir, not often I get to leave engineering.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO: The ship is almost powered up.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
EO: We'll try and stop somewhere for a postcard. OPS: Good. How much longer?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO: I believe we are ready to depart, though we don't have thrusters. ::glances at Spencer::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
OPS/EO: Why not?
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
ACO: I've a...::clears his throat:: misplaced the controls, sir.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
EO: I was looking at the power connections but I am not sure where they lead to. It would be logical to have all the engine controls close to each other. Or perhaps close to the mooring controls?
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::holds back from giving the EO a DiNozzo slap:: EO: Well, find it! My orders were to inform me when we were ready to depart, yet here I am waiting.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
ACO: Yes sir! We have impulse and warp. Weapons systems and shields standing by. Also we've managed to get the cloak operational, thanks to the Kraken's Chief engineer.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::considers telling Idrani that they don't really need thrusters to depart ... but suspects it would not turn out very well for her::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
ACO: We are ready to depart sir. ::gulps::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
EO: Very well. OPS: Cloak the ship. ::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Lay in a course for the Azure nebula, maximum warp.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods:: ACO: Yes sir. ::carefully brings up the cloaking controls and activates it::
 
<FCO_Naychev>
ACO: Yes sir. Azure nebula....anywhere specific, it is rather large? Sir.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::a little disappointed that being cloaked doesn't change much on the inside:: FCO: Yes, 127 mark 11.
 
<FCO_Naychev>
::inputs the coordinates:: ACO: Course laid in.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
:;satisfied he left everything in order on the Scimitar:: FCO: Engage.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO: The cloak is operational and stable.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
OPS: Thank you. Please keep a close eye on it. First sign of trouble, we need to address it.
 
<FCO_Naychev>
::engages the singularity drive and says a silent prayer::
 
ACTION: The warbird jumps to warp, and Thalev remembers he left the pot on on the Scimitar.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::monitors the cloaking device and the engines:: EO: We seem to be working within normal parameters, at least for Starfleet standards.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::facepalms::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::turns his chair around:: OPS: My readouts show the same. All systems are operating....as they are, as I have no idea what the norm is.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
EO: I would say we work to keep them stable, as close as possible to where they are now. If we don't get into any fights it should not be difficult.
 
ACTION: The warbird warps into subspace, leaving the Scimitar in orbit over Jevorim. The course, one supplied by their operative, marks the Azure nebula as the spot.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
OPS: You just had to, didn't you?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::raises an eyebrow:: EO: Being superstitious is bad luck.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
EO: This bridge is cramped enough without superstition, Spence.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
ACO/OPS: Don't come crawling to me when we get attacked.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
EO: Definitely won't be crawling.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::raises an eyebrow at the Vulcan:: OPS: Was that a joke?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
EO: I don't crawl. ::turns to her console::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::chuckles and turns to face his console::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
FCO: ETA?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
EO: Perhaps.
 
<FCO_Naychev>
ACO: Seven hours sir.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
FCO: A long time. ::nods:: At least it'll give us more time to get used to the controls.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO: I also suggest we take turns in taking a few hours sleep. We may not get another chance in a while.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::turns his chair to face the bridge:: All: All good and well, but if I might ask....what is our plan here?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::remains quiet, not sure what Idrani shared with the rest of the crew::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
OPS: Good idea. I'll rest first. OPS/EO: To reach those coordinates without detection. There, we'll be getting a brand new military transponder.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::nods::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO: That will be quite useful.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
All: That must have cost you.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
OPS: The task will be quite difficult even so, but you are correct. EO: Whatever the cost, it was worth it if we avoid a galaxy-wide conflict.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods and turns again to her console::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
ACO: Yes sir. And I have no problem with that, you know I signed up for this mission...but, what do we do when we find our man? How can you be sure that the Empire won't declare war on the Federation?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
EO: It is a gamble, but I think the odds are on our side. The Romulans have nothing to gain with war, they would lose.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
EO: We can't be sure what will happen, but the decision has been made and there's no point going over it again.
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::nods:: All: Alright then.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::watches something new on her screen and taps ip, being flooded by Romulan characters. She taps it again and they get translated::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO: we are detecting a Romulan scout ship on our course. Directly ahead.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
FCO: Adjust course to avoid it.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
ACO/EO: I suppose this is our first big test. We will intercept her in 3 minutes.
 
<FCO_Naychev>
ACO: Yes sir. Changing course to avoid collision. ::inputs the coordinates::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
OPS: Cloak is holding.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::watches eagerly::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
::holds his breath as the ship grows larger::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods to Spencer and waits, keeping an eye on the scout ship::
 
ACTION: The ship zooms past as they change course slightly....no sign they were noticed.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::exhales a breath::
 
EO LtCmdr Spencer:
All: Well that wasn't exciting at all!
