Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Captains Log Stardate 10204.05 We are investigating the remnants of a battle that took place here a few minutes ago. As has been the case since we arrived, the 2's blame the 4's and the 4's the 2's. However, I have reason to believe that it was committed by someone else,a member of the Horias race. The question here is, but why? We are here to find that answer

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*FCO* Mr. Teasley, make sure the 2's and 4's do not have a clear shot at each other. I don't want any bloodshed

Saldon says:
::suddenly remembers the Artemis' warning and stands down ... keeping a careful eye on the 2's though::

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Aye sir

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters TL.::  TL:  Deck 15.

EO_Tural says:
::steps onto bridge from TL::

CTO_TRel says:
FCO: No, sir. The ships have shields powered, weapons on standby and scanners active @ 125%.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: I do not know the answer to that Hali, we'll know soon enough when the medical team examines him

XO_Somak says:
::watches a few blue shirts scurry in, scan and pick up the CSO, and scurry off, having faith they'll return him to health::

EO_Tural says:
CTO: Sir, could you tell me where the CO is?

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Lock a separate phaser on each of their weapons systems, if they start attacking each other, fire

CNS_Farrel says:
::Watches the XO attend to Sozor, waiting to hear what the captain has to say::

CNS_Farrel says:
::nods::
Host Honoria says:
<OPS> FCO : Sir, it will take some time..

Host Honoria says:
This encryption algorithm is different than the last one..

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: I have the report here that Mr. Sozor had prepared and I must say, it's hard to believe that these two peoples were once civilized towards each other

XO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, a lot of things can turn two friends against each other.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Get started then, the sooner the better

CNS_Farrel says:
CO:  What else did it reveal sir?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: It seems that they may have depleted their natural resources and that is why they are at each other, fighting over what’s left.

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Is anything revealed about the possible third party in this conflict?

Host Honoria says:
ACTION : The Horias 4 ships turns to leave, heading for their homeworld...

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: Also he reports that, something else in their past caused them to split into what is now know known as the Horias 2 and Horias 4

CEO_Russel says:
::After checking all the major systems, heads into his office.::

CTO_TRel says:
FCO: The Horias 4 ship has headed for their homeworld.

XO_Somak says:
CO: Were they split between two planets before this resource depletion ran out?

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Hail them

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Captain, the Horias 4 vessel is heading for their homeworld

CTO_TRel says:
::types at console to open a channel::

CTO_TRel says:
FCO: Channel open.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: Well Hali, he reports that there is no conclusive evidence supporting a cloaked ship of some kind

Host Honoria says:
@COMM Artemis : Yes?

FCO_Teasley says:
*H4*COMM: This is Commander Teasley of the Artemis, why are you returning to your homeworld?

EO_Tural says:
::steps over to turbolift door and::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: excuse me *FCO*: Hail them and ask them why

EO_Tural says:
::takes TL to ME::

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Hmmm...and this great divide that separated them....could some alien have caused that?

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Aye sir

Host Honoria says:
@::stays silent for a moment, then starts speaking:: COMM Artemis : We must relay our findings to our superiors...

EO_Tural says:
::walks into main engineering::

EO_Tural says:
CEO: Sir, ensign Tural reporting for duty.

FCO_Teasley says:
*H4*COMM: Must you leave to do that?

FCO_Teasley says:
::has a bad feeling on what's going to happen::

CEO_Russel says:
<EO_Smith>  EO:  Wha...?  Oh, I'm not the Chief, he's in his office.  ::points to a nearby door.::

EO_Tural says:
EO_Smith: Sorry.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: He goes on to say that they seem to be supplied with arms, but exactly whom, he could not say for sure, but he seems to think that it may be the Breen, but can not confirm nor deny it

EO_Tural says:
::walks to CEO's office, beeps door::

Host Honoria says:
@COMM : FCO : Yes.. We do not trust the 2s.. And communications can be tapped.. This information must be delivered in hand.. ::in a mute voice:: yeah that's it..

CEO_Russel says:
::hears the bell.::  Come in.

XO_Somak says:
CO/CNS: We need to conduct an investigation, it seems?

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: The Breen...there's a name we've heard a lot of recently...

EO_Tural says:
::walks into CEO's office::

EO_Tural says:
CEO: Sir, ensign Tural reporting for duty.

FCO_Teasley says:
*H4*COMM: We haven't confirmed anything yet

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CTO*: Mr. T'Rel, please calculate exactly how far the Horias home worlds are from Breen Space.

Host Honoria says:
@COMM FCO : I never said you had...

CNS_Farrel says:
::Wonder what course of action the Captain has in mind::

CEO_Russel says:
::looks up from his PADD.::  EO:  Oh, well have a seat, ensign.

FCO_Teasley says:
*H4*COMM: Besides, we been keeping an eye on the 2's, they're not doing anything threatening at this moment

EO_Tural says:
::sits::

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: First the subspace weapons...now they may be arming the minor governments in the region...we could be looking at a New Breen threat in this sector...

CEO_Russel says:
::puts his PADD back onto his desk and looks through the pile on his desk for the EO's assignment orders.::  EO:  Have you... ::grabs a PADD.::  reported to the captain?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: My sentiments exactly Mr. Somak, so what I need for you to do is, with the assistance of the CTO, is to begin an investigation into the Breen on this matter

Host Honoria says:
@COMM FCO : If they had, they would have found us there to receive them.. But now, more urgent matters arise..

EO_Tural says:
CEO: Not yet, sir, he was quite busy.

FCO_Teasley says:
*H4*COMM: Such as?

CEO_Russel says:
EO:  Ah, yes, the Horian situation...  ::looks at his PADD.:: so, this is your first assignment?

XO_Somak says:
CO: Specifically the Breen? Are we sure it is them?

EO_Tural says:
CEO: Yes sir.

Host Honoria says:
@COMM FCO : Ah.. Err.. Well.. Report that the Twos have caused more deaths...

CTO_TRel says:
*CO* Aye, sir.

FCO_Teasley says:
*H4*COMM: Are you sure it's the 2's?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: I can't say for sure, but they are the most active lately

Host Honoria says:
@COMM FCO : Positive... Their weapons signatures matched the residue left on our ship's debris, plus we recovered a visual record of the Horias 2 Ship firing on ours..

Host Honoria says:
ACTION : The Horias 2 Ship also leaves..

CTO_TRel says:
*CO* They are 3000000 light years away. A considerable distance.

CTO_TRel says:
*CO* Why the Breen specifically?

Host Honoria says:
<OPS> FCO : Sir.. Now it's the Horias 2 ship that is communicating with their homeworld..

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: We best start collecting this evidence quickly.  With it in hand we may be able to prevent a war.

CEO_Russel says:
EO:  Alright, well, you can have a look around ME, if you'd like, there's not much to do, the ship's in top shape.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM H4: The 2's say the same thing, but they say it's the 4's, don't you think something strange is going on

EO_Tural says:
CEO: Yes sir.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Find out what they're saying

EO_Tural says:
::stands and leaves CEO's office::

Host Honoria says:
@COMM FCO : You are very Naive... The twos excel at lying..

Host Honoria says:
@COMM FCO : Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back home.. ::the channel is cut::

XO_Somak says:
::nods:: CO: I'll keep an eye out, too.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: I concur, you and Mr. Russel will conduct that investigation while the CTO and Mr. Somak investigate on who is exactly behind this

CEO_Russel says:
::watches the door snap shut behind the EO.  Sighs.::  EO:  ...dismissed.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Hail the Horias 2 ship

EO_Tural says:
::wanders around main engineering, making self acquainted with the room::

CEO_Russel says:
::goes back to his paperwork.::

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: So Russel and I are to search for the evidence?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CTO*: Thank you Mr. T'Rel

Host Saldon says:
@COMM Artemis : What do you want?

Host Saldon says:
<OPS> FCO : Sir... When you have some time.. ::looks at the screen:: ... I need to tell you about something..

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM H2: This is Commander Teasley, I couldn't help but notice something going to your homeworld, may I ask what it was?

CTO_TRel says:
::types at console and hails the ship::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: I want for you two to investigate on the weapons and Mr. Somak and Mr. T'Rel eliminate possible races that may have no interest in these two worlds

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Go ahead

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Somak says:
CO: Aye, sir.

Host Saldon says:
@COMM FCO : We are bringing back wreckage on our ship to be analyzed back home.. We don't have the proper tools here.. That way, we can prove it was the Fours who attacked and destroyed our ship..

CNS_Farrel says:
::Waits for the D-word::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM H2: The 4's said that as well, only they detected your weapons in the debris, if you ask me, something is not right here

CTO_TRel says:
::is puzzled about the CO's calculation question and lack of an answer to her question::

Host Saldon says:
@COMM FCO : You would be wise not to believe Fours... Besides, after our findings are complete, I am sure our government will have to act..

Host Saldon says:
<OPS> ::tries to get the FCO's attention again, but looking at the screen::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO/CNS: Let's get moving, time is against us on this...dismissed

XO_Somak says:
::nods, and exits::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM H2: Everything has a scientific explanation, so why don't we all get along until we have one

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Mute

CNS_Farrel says:
::Stands and walks out onto the bridge:: *CEO* Matt, do you have access to sensors down there?  ::Enters the turbo::

CEO_Russel says:
*CNS*:  In ME?  Yes.

CTO_TRel says:
::mutes the conversation::

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: What is it?

Host Saldon says:
@COMM FCO : We have our explanation.. I'm just sorry you don't seem to be able to see it.. ::the channel is cut::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: Send the new EO to my Ready Room

Host Saldon says:
<OPS> FCO : Sir.. That transmission you asked about? It's .. Interesting to say the least..

XO_Somak says:
::finds tactical:: CTO: Lt., I require your assistance in an investigation..

CNS_Farrel says:
*CEO* The captain wants us to collect evidence from the wreckage...hopefully a trace of who is behind this battle.  Start a scan I'll be down in a moment.  ::States her deck::

Host Saldon says:
@::moves closer to the screen, listening to the OPS officer's words::

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Aye, sir.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Don't keep to yourself, what is it

CEO_Russel says:
::stands and exits his office.::

CTO_TRel says:
XO: Very well sir. What is the investigation?

Host Saldon says:
<OPS> FCO : But sir... ::eyes go to the screen and back::

CEO_Russel says:
*CNS*:  Aye.

Host Saldon says:
<OPS> FCO : Oh..

CEO_Russel says:
EO:  Ensign, the captain wants to see you in his Ready Room.

EO_Tural says:
CEO: Yes sir.

Host Saldon says:
<OPS>  FCO : They're gone.. Sorry sir.. It concerns the Fours communication to their homeworld..

CNS_Farrel says:
::Arrives on engineering deck and strides down the corridor::

XO_Somak says:
CTO: We're taking a look at the CSO's theories and find out who would have interest in these planets. Hopefully find some evidence of any sort of sabotage between the two planets.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Understood

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Resume

EO_Tural says:
::walks quickly to the turbolift::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::sits in his Ready Room going over the CSO's report some more while waiting for the EO::

EO_Tural says:
TL: Bridge.

CTO_TRel says:
::turns and brings the sound back online::

Host OPS_Guy says:
FCO : Well, sir.. I can put it on Audio...

CEO_Russel says:
::walks to a console, accesses the sensors and begins a scan of the debris.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Enters ME sees Matt over a console and walks over:: CEO: Any luck?

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Mute again

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::turns his attention for a moment:; *FCO*: Have they an answer as to why they are leaving for their Homeworld?

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Do it

CTO_TRel says:
::enters the necessary commands::

EO_Tural says:
::Walks out of turbolift, across bridge, and stops outside door to RR.  beeps door::

CEO_Russel says:
CNS:  I just started, commander.

CTO_TRel says:
::turns back to the XO::

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: They say they're reporting their findings to their superiors, I tried to stall them but they left sir

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*EO*:  enter Ensign

CNS_Farrel says:
::Half-smiles, waits patiently::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*FCO*: The others?

EO_Tural says:
::walks through door, stands at attention in front of desk:: CO: Sir, ensign Tural reporting as requested.

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Almost the same thing, OPS managed to get what the 4's were sending to their planet

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
EO: At ease and have a seat Mr. Tural

Host OPS_Guy says:
ACTION : The speakers roar to life "... they were very interested in our weapons' supplier... ::other voice:: Did you tell them anything? ::Honoria:: No.. I wouldn't do that.. Besides, if Jurisek found out, he'd destroy our remaining ships for sure..."

CEO_Russel says:
CNS:  Perhaps we should beam the debris to the Cargo bay.  I could have my engineers take a closer look at them.

XO_Somak says:
::finds a spare section of console and brings up a list of different races, and begins knocking off those that would not have any part in this system::

EO_Tural says:
::sits in chair in RR::

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Send that to the captain

XO_Somak says:
::turns very quickly at the sound of the COMM::

CTO_TRel says:
::listens to the communication with interest attempting to differentiate between the origins of voices:::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*FCO*: Interesting, have the CNS and CEO take a look at it

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Belay that

CNS_Farrel says:
CEO: Alright...our external sensors detecting any residual weapons traces?

Host OPS_Guy says:
::looks at the FCO::

XO_Somak says:
CTO: Scan the area for any warp trails, or any residue left over by alien ships.

FCO_Teasley says:
*CEO*: Mr. Russell, could you come to the bridge?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
EO: Sorry for that, but we're in a deadly race against time.

CEO_Russel says:
CNS:  Yeah, it matches the weapons signatures of the Horian ships.

CTO_TRel says:
::begins long & short-range sensor scans;:

CNS_Farrel says:
CEO:  Hmm...ok  ::flips open a tricorder upside down:: I guess we'll have to look at the wreckage manually....

CEO_Russel says:
*FCO*:  I'm busy at the moment, is it urgent, sir?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
EO: Anyway, I'd like to take this time and welcome you to the Artemis. I hope that you'll enjoy your time here, the crew is a good crew.

FCO_Teasley says:
*CEO*: I would say so, and bring Ms. Farrell with you

CEO_Russel says:
*FCO*:  On our way.

CTO_TRel says:
XO: Nothing appears unusual is out there.

XO_Somak says:
::returns to his list and continues removing names from the list, hoping to then find something interesting within the remaining groups::

Host OPS_Guy says:
<OPS> FCO : Sir.. They went about communicating with this Jurisek Character once he reached their homeworld..

EO_Tural says:
CO: Thank you sir. I hope to be of use to the ship.

CEO_Russel says:
CNS:  Well that’ll have to wait.

CNS_Farrel says:
::Closes her upside down tricorder:: CEO: Guess so...and I was looking forward to going gung-ho....

CEO_Russel says:
::motions for the door.::  CNS:  gung-ho?

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Anything from that conversation

CNS_Farrel says:
CEO: Something I heard on Earth....I think it means something on the lines of down-and-dirty?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
EO: My door is always open if you have a suggestion

Host OPS_Guy says:
FCO : No sir.. Not from the ship.. But we're too far from Horias 4 to be able to pick up any outbound communication..
