XOMcMer says:
CTO: Keep a good eye on those freighters, just in case.
SO_Katie says:
*FCO* Hopefully not. I'm investigating an irregularity on the plasma flow
Host CO_Ross says:
Then advise Outpost 1197 of the additional refugees

XOMcMer says:
ACSO: Great, just what we need, comic relief.
ACMO_Atraides says:
::Deactivates the Computer console on his desk, having found that no Information on the Doman and their biology has been inserted into the SF Database yet::

@<F_FCO> :: drops to impulse as it approaches the Artemis ::
OPS_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Ferengi Raider: Stay where you are
XOMcMer says:
CO: Sir, all departments report in at red alert.
SO_Katie says:
*CSO* Very strange, it seams we have a life form living in our plasma conduits. which is very strange considering all organic material is supposed to be destroyed by plasma
FCO_Teasley says:
Computer: Prepare EM 13beta
CTO_Somak says:
XO: I believe we can match the Ferengi vessel.
OPS_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I have them on the COMM
Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Mr. Somak, give them a .10 phaser burst off their bow
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: Artemis: What's with the red alert?  Don't you trust us?   Let me speak with the captain.
XOMcMer says:
CO: Perhaps if you 'negotiate' with them long enough, we'll be at the outpost before they do anything significant..??
ACSO_Bryn says:
*SO*:  Any idea how it got there?
SO_Katie says:
::looks at the readings:: EO: Are you sure this isn't just someone playing a prank on us?
CTO_Somak says:
::charges the phaser, and fires::
Host CO_Ross says:
XO: We don’t have time for this
SO_Katie says:
*CSO* My best guess is that it either grew there or someone put it there
CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  The packages are ready.  Should I wait to beam them?
EO_Daimon says:
SO: How could this be a "Prank"?
OPS_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Ferengi Raider: Sorry, but we don't trust your intentions  CO: Their Capt. wants to speak to you
FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Are they targeting us or the freighters?
ACSO_Bryn says:
*SO*:  Is it something we need to worry about right now?
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@ COMM: Artemis: Hey.. listen up dudes.  We’re here on business.... Read my lips... BUZZZZZ-EEEEE-NESSSSS.....
Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*: Yes, delay until this incident is behind us
XOMcMer says:
CO: The Ferengi are a nuisance, but maybe they have something worthwhile?
CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Aye.
ACSO_Bryn says:
::Looks at the FCO::  FCO:  Targeting?

::Thinking, Ferengi always know what’s in the neighbourhood...::
Host CO_Ross says:
COMM: Bar'Tok: This is Captain Ross, I have very little time, what is it that you want?
SO_Katie says:
*CSO* The problem seams to be restricted to this conduit so it does not seam like a present danger
CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Though we can't trust their motives...having one of their raiders join the convey would help boost defence if we're attacked by the Elleb...
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: Artemis: Our intentions are pure... honestly!   Look...  lower your weapons.. other wise I'll file a formal protest with the SFC for firing... no.. threatening upon peaceful Federation :: stretches that word as long as he could :: citizens.
FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Are they interested in us or the freighters?
SO_Katie says:
EO: A prank, as in someone putting organic material on a plasma conduit
EO_Daimon says:
SO: You of course probably have your duties.....I'll just dispose of this sponge...::Pulls out his phaser and sets it to kill::
ACSO_Bryn says:
FCO:  I doubt there is much interest in us.  I would guess they are up to something concerning the freighters.
SO_Katie says:
EO: Don't kill it!
XOMcMer says:
CNS: Actually I think the Ferengi might try to pick something off and run away with it instead of helping us in a combat...
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: CO: Ah.. captain... captain...  What I want.. is what you want...   I hear that you have slaves to trade?  I'll get them off your hands for 200 pieces of latinum...
SO_Katie says:
EO: What are you, a TO? Gather all of them
EO_Daimon says:
SO: More likely....why not...its just a ball of organic material....
SO_Katie says:
EO: So are we. Besides, we can learn something from it. Either what is it or who put it there
OPS_MacPherson-Quest says:
::doesn't trust the Ferengi, never has, never will::
Host CO_Ross says:
COMM: Bar'Tok: You are ordered to clear this area, give me wide berth ..........immediately!
ACSO_Bryn says:

CNS_Farrel says:
::Mouth drops open as the Ferengi asks for slaves:: XO: Seems your were right...
EO_Daimon says:
SO: No....there is lots of it....and killing this part of it...won't kill all of it....I just wanted to make sure it wasn't somebody’s hand or something....
Host Doman_Freighter says:
ACTION: The lights all over the Artemis flicker for an instant.
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: CO: I can't do that.. you see... I'm here on business... like I said.  210 bars of latinum...   for the slaves.

F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: CO: Or would you prefer dilithiums?  We have quite a supply you know... to trade...?
SO_Katie says:
SO: So why kill it? And I have no reason to believe these things are connected
ACSO_Bryn says:
XO:  Your guess is as good as mine.  The SO is looking into it.
Host CO_Ross says:

SO: That’s why I called you...to make sure it wasn't a hand....or an actually animal that got stuck in the plasma.
OPS_MacPherson-Quest says:
::checks for damage on the Artemis::
CTO_Somak says:
::continues shooting phasers, then another round of torpedoes, set to explode when they are near the ship::

ACSO: In the midst of this, make sure the 'real' bad guys, the Ellebs, don't sneak in...
Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Fire at will, I want that ship disabled
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@<F_FCO> :: manoeuvres the raider around and dodges the Artemis' attempts ::
EO_Daimon says:

ACSO_Bryn says:
::nods::
SO_Katie says:
EO: Tell me, how could an animal enter these conduits?
Host Doman_Freighter says:

OPS_MacPherson-Quest says:
::checks the diagnostic to see where the power fluctuations are coming from::
ACMO_Atraides says:
::Watches the Lights Flicker again:: *CEO*: Is there a Problem with the Electrical systems?
Host Doman_Freighter says:
ACTION: Due to the CTO's skilled aim, five drones are destroyed.
EO_Daimon says:
SO: You don't want to know....I mean if we had a "Infestation" the animals would first appear in places like this.
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:

ACSO_Bryn says:
XO:  The area appears to be clear except for our... unwelcome guest.
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@F_CTO: And then.. after that...  their propulsion system.
XOMcMer says:
*CEO*: The lights keep flickering on the bridge, is something going on the ship we should know about?
FCO_Teasley says:
::comes up from their aft::
Host Doman_Freighter says:
ACTION: The last drone hits the Artemis hard, dropping shields to 72%. The Ferengi's shields are down to 54%.
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@<F_CTO> F_CO: Shields at 54% and holding......
FCO_Teasley says:

XOMcMer says:
ACSO: Noted.
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: CO: Talk to me!
Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*: Put the impulse engines on line to supplement the shield generators
ACSO_Bryn says:
::Looks at the XO::  *SO*:  Double check your new friends.  Are they still neutral at the moment?
CTO_Somak says:
::focuses weapons on one section of the shield, and fires all weapons::
Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Full spread, photon torpedoes
CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Aye, sir.
XOMcMer says:
CO: I believe its about time for a second round of negotiations....
Host Doman_Freighter says:
ACTION: The lights flicker again...and a short volley of Ferengi phasers choose that moment to reach the Artemis.
SO_Katie says:
*CSO* They don't seam to have any activity ma'am
ACSO_Bryn says:

ACMO_Atraides says:
::Watches the lights go out again and sighs::
CEO_Russel says:
::puts the impulse engines on line to supplement the shield generators.::
ACSO_Bryn says:
*SO*:  Just making sure our power loss has nothing to do with them.
Host Doman_Freighter says:
ACTION: The disconcerting rumbling of a hull breach is felt throughout the ship. Several consoles erupt in sparks.
CTO_Somak says:
::overloads the photons, and waits for the order::
XOMcMer says:
::Looking at sparking consoles, for once not sitting at one when it happens....::
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:

Host Doman_Freighter says:
ACTION: An short in one of the systems rears its ugly head in the CTO's console. It explodes.
XOMcMer says:
CO; I suggest that you offer to negotiate about information on ships in the area instead of goods.... Change the subject on them, while telling them we've taken it easy on them also.
ACSO_Bryn says:
*SO*:  As you are down in engineering, give them a hand as needed.  We seem to have a hull breech.
CTO_Somak says:
::covers face from sparks::
XOMcMer says:
::Looking over to CTO to see if he's alright... stepping over to an auxiliary Tactical console...::

F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: Artemis: Can we talk now?  Alright...  Dilithium Crystals.. AND the bars of latinum.... for the slaves... That's my final, final, final offer.
Host CO_Ross says:
COMM: Bar’Tok: lower your shields, and I'll consider it
ACSO_Bryn says:
::Glances over at the CTO::  CTO:  Somak, you all right?
EO_Daimon says:
SO: Well...it seems were in trouble...do what you wish with your life forms I have to fix a hull breach
SO_Katie says:
EO: Handle this. Gather all that you can and send to the lab, I'll analyse later
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: Artemis: I will lower my shields.. when you lower yours.   :: thinks: Do you think I'm stupid?  do I look stupid to you? ::
Host Doman_Freighter says:
ACTION: Repair teams seal the breach and the ship stabilises.
SO_Katie says:
EO: Just beam them to the lab

XOMcMer says:
*ACMO*: We have casualties on the bridge.  Send someone...uh... stat
EO_Daimon says:
*CEO*: Just a small mass or organic material....I had the SO run a scan on it...its nothing out of the usual.....
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: Artemis: So.. do we have a deal?
XOMcMer says:
::Hoping he had the right 'medical' term::
ACMO_Atraides says:
*XO*: Aye, sir!
EO_Daimon says:
::Drops down into ME, and starts tapping on a console::

OPS_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Sir, I have Tac re-routed to OPS
CTO_Somak says:
XO: Fire... the torpedoes...
ACSO_Bryn says:
::makes the CTO comfortable while waiting for the med team.  Glances at her station::
CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  I found the source of the flickering.  It appears to be more of what the EO found, lots more.
XOMcMer says:
CO: We have some hot torps in the tubes, should I put them to standby or fire them?
ACMO_Atraides says:
::The Turbo lift bounces slightly as it makes its way up to the bridge::
EO_Daimon says:
::Notices the lack of pressure around the hull breach.....quickly runs to the area::
F_CO-Bar`Tok says:
@COMM: Artemis: Then may I reciprocate that question, Captain?  Are YOU ready?  I have already sent in a protest against your actions.. how you were hostile against US.. business... friendly.. peaceful... Federation citizens...
Host CO_Ross says:
XO: Fire!
FCO_Teasley says:
