Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya has been tasked with attending the welcoming ceremony of a new Federation signatory. The Panthians are a reptilian species living on the outermost edge of the Federation, little else is known about them.
Host Buzzard says:
Captain Lira-Bolitho was to meet the Federation first contact envoy who was to brief the Seleya on the Panthians, however the Seleya on route to the Panthian system received a distress call, the Seleya responded to the distress call but arrived to late to help anyone. The Federation vessel carrying Lars Blethe the First contact specialist had been
Host Buzzard says:
destroyed by persons unknown.
Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya received further orders from StarFleet to continue onto to the Panthian system.
Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya halted on the edge of Panthian system, LRS were detecting a large number of ships, but that was prior to 3 ships taking a sudden interest in the Seleya and targeting her with their weapons. Additionally the Seleya's long range scans of the system were blocked and the Seleya could no longer view what was happening in system
Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya was finally hailed and the 'Panthians' demanded to know what they were doing here, Captain Bolitho advised them that they were here for the signatory ceremony where the Panthians would join the Federation, the Seleya was told to stand by and were informed mere minutes later that an Ambassador would be boarding the Seleya shortly

FCO-Starlight-Rose says:
XO:: Aye Sirr
CEO_Kn`Tar says:
XO: Forward shields, Aye sir
FCO-Starlight-Rose says:
::Gets everything ready and waits for the orders::
CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Swivels to OPS and reinforces the forward shields from emergency power::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
Sauron: We have had one ship destroyed with all hands en route to your system .. as I said I am just being on the side of caution
XO_More says:
::Looks out to the viewscreen at the ships in front:: It's their move now.
CTO_Tkorrick says:
XO: Sir I'm reading a ship, it's 5 times our size sir
CIV_Kavek says:
::Glad he pulled his neural disruptor from his shuttle, it might get ugly::
CSO_Hazzem says:
CTO: Tactical analysis
SO_Revell-Francis says:
XO: Sir, that's the source of the signal.!
CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Begins a tactical scan of the ship::
CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Hears the precautions and feeds more power to the shield grid::
Host Sauron says:
::Scratches his head:: CO: I see no reassson to do this Captain, but if it makes you feel sssafer then ssso be it Captain I'm sssurprisssed I do not see Larsss Blethe here. Where is Larssss Blethe
Host CO_Bolitho says:
Sauron: Unfortunately It was Lars blethes ship that was destroyed
CIV_Kavek says:
::Has been standing all of this time, sits down in a convenient, warm chair and watches the two::
CTO_Tkorrick says:
XO: 12 torpedo launchers and too many disruptors to count sir
Host Sauron says:
CO: That is terrible newsss Captain and I thought Federation ssspace wasss ssssupposed to be sssafe?
CSO_Hazzem says:
XO: We better get out of her, Commander.
CIV_Kavek says:
::Refrains from a smirk; Romulan space is always safe... for Romulans::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
XO: Commander, I've got data on the transmission.
Host CO_Bolitho says:
Sauron: As a general rule it is, but as I’m sure you can imagine, with all the species that are members of the federation sometimes there are some that wish to destroy, for reasons of there own .... the federation does its up most to keep things on a even keel and generally it does,
SO_Revell-Francis says:
XO: It's going directly to the Panthian ambassador, on a higher-band frequency.  I can't decrypt it, though.
Host Sauron says:
CIV: Apparently the Federation is not asss wonderful as we were first told
Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Listens with interest at Sauron::
CEO_Kn`Tar says:
Self: ::Aloud:: What is this treachery..
CIV_Kavek says:
Sauron: Federation has had troubles, but we have surpassed them all. If you need an ally that can beat the best, you're looking at them.
OPS_Jameson says:
::Is still trying with all her ability to break all sauron's mental barriers::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Looks at Anya to see if shes picked anything up from Sauron::
CTO_Tkorrick says:
CEO: Looks to me like they came for a fight
FCO-Starlight-Rose says:
::Watches everything going on ::
CIV_Kavek says:
Sauron: But, if you're not interested in joining the Federation... you could always join the Romulan Empire. We're in real need of allies right now. ::refrains from smiling at the captain::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
CTO/CEO:  Looks to me like they're likely to win.
CEO_Kn`Tar says:
CTO: Then a glorious one we will give them!
CSO_Hazzem says:
CTO: We can't handle such force, we'll have to manoeuvre them
FCO-Starlight-Rose says:
::Growlsssssssss loudly::
OPS_Jameson says:
::Self: chicken farms?::
CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Rolls up his sleeves::
Host Sauron says:
CO: Maybe I sssshould be talking to the Romulansss Captain and not the Federation?
CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Smirks at the CEO:: CSO: If we're fast we could win, but i wouldn't sit still while that ship is locked onto us ::smirks::
CIV_Kavek says:
::Can't help but to find it even more funny that he actually believed that::
Host Sauron says:
ACTION: The Panthian battleship comes to halt a mere kilometer from the Seleya
OPS_Jameson says:
::Rolls her eyes at Tam::
CEO_Kn`Tar says:
Self: Too close! I say fire!!
SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Tries to isolate the transmission ::
Host Sauron says:
***Pause "I don't want to join your 'stinkin' Federation"***
