Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Captains Log Star Date 10304.18 We are currently on our way to Hanthros Prime when the Artemis encountered a Hanthrosian shuttle, but before we could hail the vessel, it blew-up. I had the wreckage beamed aboard so that my Engineering team goes over it as to find out what caused the breech in its core.

Host Langley says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin "Puzzled" part 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Peters says:
::At TAC 1 keeping a close eye on the scans.::

TO_Sky says:
::at TAC 2 looking over reports::

CSO_KTor says:
::At Science 1, finishing reading the info on Hanthros::

OPS_Mades says:
::ever present at his station::

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Have you gone to sickbay yet?

FCO_Teasley says:
::at the helm on course for Hanthros Prime::

XO_Farrel says:
::walks into sickbay approaching the biobed with the patient on it.::

TO_Sky says:
::shakes her head:: CTO: No need ma'am it feels just fine. Anyway I am sure they have their hands full down there.

Host Langley says:
ACTION : The nurses are still working on Langley... His injuries where extensive...

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Right after shift Bri...  I'm serious...  ::tries her best glare.::

TO_Sky says:
::looks over her shoulder at Zoe:: CTO: Just as soon as you do. ::grins:: Anyway I have a date right after shift.

XO_Farrel says:
::looks for La'i but doesn't see her, approaches one of the nurses.:: Nurse: Is he going to make it?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::at the CON:: CTO: keep an eye out for any hostile, I don't want to be surprised

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> ::looks towards the biobed:: XO : Probably.. But it will be some time before he can be woken...

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  eh,  just a little burn nothing that a dermal regenerator can't heal and I've got one of those in my med. kit.

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: So do I, Bri

XO_Farrel says:
Nurse: Anything on his identity on him?

OPS_Mades says:
All:  What is it, date night?

TO_Sky says:
::grins:: OPS: Jealous Lt.?

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I have scans on maximum... I've set the sensors to screech if anything comes in at 5000 kilometers.

OPS_Mades says:
TO: No, not really.  ::smirks::

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> ::shakes head:: XO : None, ma'am... Except this strange tattoo on his wrist... ::goes over to a panel, and shows her an image of the tattoo::

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  Sounds like you need another dancing lesson.

TO_Sky says:
OPS: Yeah right Lt. ::giggles:: I am sure Zoe could find something for you to do.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Good...OPS: What Class of shuttle was it that we encountered?

CTO_Peters says:
:Discretely kicks Bri::

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Don't feel too bad.  My failure with women is pretty legendary

TO_Sky says:
CTO: OUCH! What was that for? ::glares at Zoe::

OPS_Mades says:
::shakes his head at the women over at TAC as he checks the scans of the shuttle::  CO: One moment sir, I'll run it through the database.

CTO_Peters says:
::Smiles sweetly:: TO:  Just seeing if your awake.

OPS_Mades says:
FCO: It's good to be accomplished at something.  ::stifles a chuckle::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: I want to know everything about it, its armaments, its range, etc, etc...

TO_Sky says:
::sticks her tongue out at Zoe:: CTO: You know I am awake. ::giggles::

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles::

XO_Farrel says:
::Feels short of breath, staring at the symbol the nurse showed her.  her hand jumps to her commbadge.:: *CTO* Ms. Peters, extra security to sickbay...

TO_Sky says:
::looks around at Zoe with a questioning look at the message...turns back and pulls up the roster for security::

CTO_Peters says:
::Hears the XO.::  *XO*:  I'll be right down Ma'am....  ::Looks at Bri::  You have TAC...  OPS:  Christian, can you lock onto the XO if I deem her in danger I'll let you know.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: I was reading this 20th century book written by a person named Mick Foley, and he talks about his failures with women.  If he were to walk onto the bridge right now, I'd dare him to put his failures put against mine

TO_Sky says:
::nods:: CTO: Got it Zoe. ::moves over to TAC 1::

CTO_Peters says:
::Steps away and heads for the TL and pushes the button.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Have you finished with your Hanthros Prime reports?

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Sir, the shuttle was a Hanthrosian Prowler class.  Maximum speed is warp 3.  Can travel for up to 4 weeks at a time without need to refuel.  Light armament, nothing that would even challenge our shields.

CTO_Peters says:
::The TL doors open and she steps in.::  Computer:  Sickbay.

XO_Farrel says:
Nurse: Have the patient checked for any items...look for a small cylinder.  ::opens her tricorder and starts scanning the patient, in the background of the other nurses working on him.::

TO_Sky says:
::calls Trent and tells him to get his team down to sickbay to meet up with the CTO::

OPS_Mades says:
::heard the CTO and makes the appropriate preparations::

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Zoe, Ensign Lawson and his team will meet you at sickbay.

CTO_Peters says:
::Pulls out her phaser and adjusts it to maximum stun.::  *TO*:  Understood.

TO_Sky says:
::pulls up the area in and around sickbay to see if anything is happening::

OPS_Mades says:
FCO:  Maybe you should write a book.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Are there any indications that it was attacked or sabotaged?

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> XO : Can I ask why, ma'am?

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: I don't know, who'd want to read it?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Course is steady sir

XO_Farrel says:
Nurse: I have reason to believe it may be a weapon, and I want it removed ASAP.

OPS_Mades says:
CO: I haven't received any reports from the engineering team yet.

TO_Sky says:
::keeps an eye on the sensors as well making sure nothing gets close to them::

CTO_Peters says:
::Feels the TL stops and exits.:: *XO*:  Ma'am, I'm about 2  seconds away from Sickbay.

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> ::nods:: XO : Right away ma'am… But the transporter should have removed any noticeable weapons when he was beamed here.

TO_Sky says:
<Lawson> ::runs down the corridor his team behind him and skids to a stop near sickbay:: CTO: Ma'am?

XO_Farrel says:
Nurse: Thank- you 

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: What is our ETA now that we slowed a bit?

CTO_Peters says:
::Reaches sickbay where Lawson’s team is waiting.  She nods at them and taking point enters the sickbay.::  XO:  Ma'am....  ::Hurriedly goes over to where she is...  Dunson and Mayer flanking her.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Checking

Host Langley says:
::wakes up for a moment, and manages to get his hand out to grab the XO:: XO : It.. Is here....

Host Langley says:
XO : You must.... ::his eyes roll, and he goes under again, releasing the XO::

OPS_Mades says:
::listening for any word from the CTO of the XO, his finger poised above the button::

TO_Sky says:
<Lawson> ::spreads the team out in the corridor and motions Jason to follow him in::

XO_Farrel says:
::jumps, gasping at the grip::

CTO_Peters says:
::Pulls the XO back.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: 6 hours sir

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Ma'am ?  ::Looks at the nurse::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Steady as she goes then Mr. Teasley

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir. Sir, if I wrote a book, do you think anyone would be interested in reading it?

TO_Sky says:
::taps and few commands and continues the scanning::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: I want your team to watch this man closely...  ::Feels strange talking about a bed-ridden patient this way, but knows he is trained to kill.::

OPS_Mades says:
::this time he can't hold back his chuckle::

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Of course Ma'am, what are we looking for?

OPS_Mades says:
::looks back at Bri to see if she got any word from Zoe yet::

TO_Sky says:
::sees Christian and shakes her head::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: I had the nurses check him already for any weapons, he's clean.  I want you to check the transporter logs, see if anything was screened out in transport.  In the meantime keep your team here, just as a precaution.  

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Book..  what?

OPS_Mades says:
::grimaces and turns back around::

TO_Sky says:
::types in a message to Christian...if it's any consolation there hasn't been any weapons fire down there...hits the send button::

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods at Lawson to check the logs.::  XO:  Aye Ma'am, but something has you worried or we wouldn't be down here, I need more information... if you think this is serious I have precautions in mind and you won't like them, but I need a reason to implement them.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, I'll have that report ready within two hours.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: I was telling Christian about this book I read, and he suggest that I write one

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Is this patient a threat Sir?

OPS_Mades says:
::reads the message and sends back a simple "Thanks"::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Have we found out anything about our "guest"?

TO_Sky says:
::reads the message and smiles at Christian::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: You’re right, sorry for being so vague. ::holds her hand up and gestures to the vacant doctor's office.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: More power to you Cmdr. I always stress taking up a hobby by my crew

CSO_KTor says:
::Starts compiling the report::

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods and motions to Dunson and Mayer to keep a close eye on the patient and follows the XO into the doctors office.  Tapping her commbadge.::  TO/OPS:  Give me a few more minutes.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: I want to know what Engineering finds out about the wreckage ASAP

OPS_Mades says:
FCO: And seeing as you have already done the research...  ::smiles then snaps back to serious mode as the comm from Zoe comes through::

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Is everything okay down there?

XO_Farrel says:
*CO* I'll have a full report for you in a moment sir, just collecting information...

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  One moment Bri.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Let me know ASAP, Cmdr.

OPS_Mades says:
::without turning around, focusing on the CTO and XO again::  CO: I can open a channel to the bay for you, sir.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Well the book I read was Mick Foley's autobiography and the failure with women occupied only a fourth of a chapter

XO_Farrel says:
::Sits behind the desk:: CTO: The patient, belongs to an order of knights, who are trained unlike anything I’ve seen...trained to kill 

CTO_Peters says:
::Jaw tightens and nods her head.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Better yet, I'm on my way down there...FCO: You have the CON, Mr. Teasley

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: They are from Betazed...the knighthood formed millennia ago, to protect the secrets of a sacred book known as the Zodion.  

FCO_Teasley says:
::motions for the beta FCO and takes the captain's chair::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::gets up from the CON and heads to the turbolift::

CTO_Peters says:
::Swallows::  XO:  Would that be the book that was stolen from your quarters Sir?

XO_Farrel says:
::pausing:: CTO: yes...and I believe I was attacked for having read it, perhaps in an attempt to silence me...

CTO_Peters says:
::Speaking quietly::  XO:  With your permission I'm going to set up some security measures that are not going to be liked...  these people already have attacked you.  Some one attacked him and by the sounds of it, they may come after you again.  Am I wrong in this assumption?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::the doors open, Ewan enters:: TL: Deck 9

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: No, your not wrong...But I would like what I told you to be kept secret...I have reason to believe that by telling you this information I could be placing you and anyone else who knows in danger too...hence why I didn't come to you earlier.  But I figure at this point, you had to know...

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods::  XO: Ok then...  I'll implement to security then.  In the meantime, I don't want you near the patient without me present.  Ok Ma'am?

CTO_Peters says:
::Steps out the door and motions for the nurse to come in.::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Hmm... I suppose I can live with that.

CTO_Peters says:
::Grins:: XO:  One of the few times you don't have a choice.  Part of my job is to keep you and the Capt. out of danger.

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> ::enters the office:: CTO : Yes?

OPS_Mades says:
::wonders what the heck is going on down in SB::

FCO_Teasley says:
::checks the course heading::

CTO_Peters says:
Nurse:  Please place the patient in isolation.  Nobody is to go near him without my knowing.  Your staff is to have one of my security officers with them at all times.

TO_Sky says:
::starts getting anxious waiting to hear from Zoe::

TO_Sky says:
::checks the sensors again:: FCO: Picking up a couple of ships on long range sir. They seem to be following a patrol pattern.

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> ::frowns:: CTO : Excuse me? That man is still in life danger.. I will not stop treatment just because you tell me to!

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: What kind of ships?

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> CTO : He needs constant care..

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Something else I should tell you... ::sighs, only continuing after the nurse walks off::  ...this book the Zodion, well Russel, the doctor, and I we found another copy.  I had it placed under a security field in a brig cell, and I erased the records of the cell being occupied...

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> CTO : The next few hours are still critical..

TO_Sky says:
FCO: They look to be Hanthrosian 

CTO_Peters says:
Nurse:  Then you could very well end up dead...  I'm not saying stop treatment..  I need to implement some precautions that is all.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Can you hail them?

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at the XO::  XO:  Oh no...  Ok, if it’s ok, I get it in a more secure location...

OPS_Mades says:
FCO: Sure thing.  ::opens a channel to the closest patrol vessel::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: what did you have in mind?

OPS_Mades says:
::nods at the FCO that the channel is open::

Host Langley says:
ACTION : Alerted by the incoming hail, the Ships turn towards the Artemis. But they answer the hail.

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  I know a little spot down in waste management.  The book won't get damaged, but nobody will go in there either. ::Grins::

TO_Sky says:
FCO: They are coming this way sir.

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: Go to yellow alert.

OPS_Mades says:
FCO: They are responding.

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> CTO : You can put him behind a Security field..

TO_Sky says:
FCO: Aye sir. ::activates yellow alert::

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Put them through

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> CTO : But we will remain inside it till we feel the patient is out of danger..

OPS_Mades says:
FCO: Its open.

CTO_Peters says:
Nurse: In a isolated room please...and security and staff can remain in there..

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Hmm, I’m just worried without a forcefield it could mysteriously disappear again.  I mean, I thought I had the book well hidden and whoever stole it knew right where to look for it.  Nothing else in my quarters was moved, except for the one hiding place.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::walks out of the turbolift after it stopped on Deck 9 and he heads to the Shuttle Bay::

Host Langley says:
@<Hanthrosian> COMM : This is Hanthrosian vessel Kilara 3... Identify yourselves!

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  I'll make sure a forcefield is erected....  I may have another idea... holo-projection... but I'll think on that one.

FCO_Teasley says:
Hanthrosian vessel COMM: Hanthrosian, this is the USS Artemis of the United Federation of Planets

Host Langley says:
<Nurse> CTO : Very well... ::makes the necessary preparations to have the patient moved... But only after he's stable enough::

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Zoe we have ships incoming. Can you let the XO and CO know since they are down there with you?

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Okay, I leave the matter in your hands.  But whatever you do, don't read it...

Host Langley says:
@<Hanthrosian> COMM Artemis : You have entered Hanthrosian space. Please state your business here...

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  In the meantime Ma'am...  Dunson and Mayer will be your constant bodyguards.   Please don't slip away from them.  Lawson will take care of security here.  I'll leave him some orders and I know he will follow without question.

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  I won't read the book Sir.  I'll just protect it for you.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan reaches the Shuttle Bay and enters after the doors open. He walks over to the team of Engineers going over the wreckage:: Engineers: Who is in charge here?

XO_Farrel says:
::nods:: CTO: Thank-you.  Sounds like the bridge needs us.

CTO_Peters says:
::Taps her commbadge.:: *TO*:  Acknowledge Bri.  I'll let the XO know.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM Hanthrosian ship: We've ordered to your space to meet with your government

Host Langley says:
ACTION : The Hanthrosian vessels increase speed.. ETA for interception, 10 minutes.

TO_Sky says:
FCO: ETA to contact is 10 minutes sir.

XO_Farrel says:
::Departs sickbay and walk down the corridor::

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  We got some incoming ships and by the sounds of it you’re needed on the Bridge...  I'll talk to Lawson and let me get Dunson and Mayer to go with you.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
<Lt. JG. Bridges:> CO: That would be me Sir

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: Any hostile intent?

CTO_Peters says:
::Runs after the XO.::  XO:  Ma'am Wait!!!   ::Motions for Dunson and Mayer to catch up with the XO.::

Host Langley says:
@<Hanthrosian> COMM Artemis : Please shut down your engines, and remain where you are. We will verify your statement with our superiors...

XO_Farrel says:
::shouts back:: CTO: have them meet me on the way! ::already walking off::

TO_Sky says:
FCO: Outside of the increase in speed nothing yet sir. I am keeping an eye on them though.

CTO_Peters says:
<Dunson/Mayer>  ::Run to catch up with the XO.::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM Hanthrosian: Understood

FCO_Teasley says:
beta FCO: Take us out of warp

FCO_Teasley says:
<beta FCO> FCO: Aye sir

XO_Farrel says:
::enters the lift, holds it for a moment for Dunson and Mayer to get in.:: deck one.

CTO_Peters says:
::Quickly goes back into sickbay and talks to Lawson.. Orders, nobody near the patient except medical, when he wakes up, she is to be notified right away and he is to be isolated as soon as he can be moved.::

FCO_Teasley says:
<beta FCO> ::Takes the ship out of warp and brings it to a stop::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::walks over to Bridges:: Bridges: Have you found out any evidence of either an accidental core breech or intentional?

CTO_Peters says:
<Lawson>  ::Nods and doesn't questions the orders since she would have her reasons.::

OPS_Mades says:
::making sure the channel is closed:: FCO: Friendly, aren't they?

XO_Farrel says:
*CO* Captain, the Hanthrosians are on intercept with us, ETA 8 minutes.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: We'll find out soon enough

TO_Sky says:
::mutters aloud and tries the sensors again::

CTO_Peters says:
::Quickly exiting the sickbay she heads for the nearest TL and enters.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: On my way Cmdr.    Bridges: It'll have to wait for now ::turns to head out of the Shuttle Bay::

TO_Sky says:
::tries to fine-tune the sensors::

CTO_Peters says:
::tapping her foot she waits for the TL to stop.::

XO_Farrel says:
::arrives on bridge.:: FCO: Report.

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: There are several Hanthrosian ship on an intercept course with us

TO_Sky says:
FCO: Nothing! I can't get through whatever their shielding is. They could have every weapon on board the ship trained on us and I couldn't tell you.

XO_Farrel says:
FCO: Have we hailed them yet?

OPS_Mades says:
TO:  Hmm, guess its trust test time huh?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::enters the nearest turbolift and enters:: TL: Bridge

TO_Sky says:
OPS: Looks like it sir. ::shakes head:: And I don't know that they trust us...

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Yes ma'am, I told what we are doing here and they said they'd contact their superiors

Host Langley says:
ACTION : The Hanthrosian ships reach the Artemis... They take positions one to each side of the Artemis.

CTO_Peters says:
::Feels the TL stop, she practically runs onto the bridge.  Spotting Dunson and Mayer she walks right to them pulling their heads together.::  Dunson/Mayer:  Your phasers are to be on maximum stun all the time until further notice.  Anyone and I mean anyone makes a threatening move towards Cmdr. Farrel you are to shot first then we will ask questions, understood?

TO_Sky says:
XO/FCO: Looks like they are keeping a close eye on us. We have one on each side of us.

CTO_Peters says:
<Dunson/Mayer> ::Look at Zoe for a moment then slowly nods.::

XO_Farrel says:
::Raises eyebrow as she sees the Hanthrosians surround the Artemis on the viewer.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::in the mean time Bridges sends Ewan his teams first findings to the armrest PADD on the CON.......... first analysis shows that the transporter beam interfered with a power coupling, and that power-coupling failure led to a cascade failure of the entire power grid, which caused the warp core detonation.::

TO_Sky says:
::mutters:: XO: We are being scanned! My board is lighting up like a Christmas tree!

OPS_Mades says:
::surprised::  All:  Whoa!  Getting a light show over here.  ::taps at his console::  We are being very thoroughly scanned.

CTO_Peters says:
::makes her way to TAC 1::  TO:  Bri, phaser on Max Stun until further notice...

TO_Sky says:
::taps at the console to try and block scans::

CTO_Peters says:
::fingers fly over her console trying to block the scans::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: I'll say this for the Hanthrosians, they don't waste a lot of time

OPS_Mades says:
::sees what the TO is doing on his console::  TO: Um, I don't think we want to look like we are hiding anything.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Aye ma'am. ::mutters:: We can't stop it.

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Hmm, what could they be looking for? ::gives her a knowing look::

CTO_Peters says:
::Mutters::  TO:  There has to be a way...

TO_Sky says:
OPS: Not that it did any good. ::mutters:: I just hope they can't get into the sensitive data.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: I have tried everything I know to do Zoe...

OPS_Mades says:
XO: They may be just trying to see if we are trustworthy.

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at the XO knowingly:: XO:  I think I need to get down to the brig area...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::the lift stops on the Bridge and Ewan then exits onto the Bridge:: XO: Report Hali

XO_Farrel says:
::nods to the CTO::

Host Langley says:
@<Hanthrosian> COMM Artemis : Attention Artemis... You have been allowed passage to our homeworld. But only if you surrender the fugitive you are harboring in your Medical Facilities..

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Bri you have TAC...  ::taps her commbadge.:: Topper:  Meet me in the brig ASAP.

TO_Sky says:
::nods at Zoe::

FCO_Teasley says:
::relieves the beta FCO and takes the helm::

OPS_Mades says:
::puzzled look crosses his face as he mouths the word "fugitive?"::

XO_Farrel says:
CO: The Hanthrosians have surrounded us and are running a detailed scan.  We've hailed them, but they are checking with their superiors regarding our mission here.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> *CTO*:  I'll be right there Ma'am.  

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::as he walks over to the XO, Ewan overhears the COMM:: XO: Fugitive, we have a fugitive onboard?

TO_Sky says:
Self: Fugitive?

CTO_Peters says:
::hears the COM as she enters the TL  Pulling out her PADD types a quick message to the XO.::  XO:  Ma'am we can't let that man go, he is our only connection....

CTO_Peters says:
Computer:  Brig....

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Hanthrosian shuttle: This is Capt. Ewan McPherson-Quest of the USS Artemis. A fugitive is on my ship?

XO_Farrel says:
::mind racing, she doesn't know what to suggest.  Would it be bad to hand over the man down in sickbay...:: CO: Captain...all I can say is I believe that man in sickbay wanted to tell me something, extremely important...but what I do not know.

TO_Sky says:
::wishes someone would fill her in but Zoe came and went on the bridge so fast she didn't have time to ask...and what is so important in the brig::

OPS_Mades says:
::looks up for a second, a strange feeling passing through him, looking around his eyes land on the XO and he just stares for a moment, shakes his head, and goes back to work::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: The last thing I want is a fugitive onboard my ship that will seriously affect this mission

CTO_Peters says:
::Feels the TL stop and she runs out and runs down to tactical.  entering the offices she yells for Topper.::

Host Langley says:
@<Hanthrosian> COMM : Artemis : Yes... Do you deny it? We can see him on our scanners..  DNA scans identify him has Langley Wright, who is wanted in our system for charges of rebellion.

XO_Farrel says:
::sighs at the PADD, wondering if it is possible to hold him.::  CO: And I believe he may be linked to the group that attacked me a month ago...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Hanthrosian shuttle: I deny nothing and indeed there is a wounded man on my ship that we saved from a shuttle before it exploded

CTO_Peters says:
Topper:  There is a book hidden here in the bridge, probably under a forcefield and holo-projection.  We need to find it.  We are going to re-hide in our hidey-hole down in waste management where you and I hide the good stuff.

Host Hanthrosian says:
@COMM : Artemis :  We are giving you the benefit of the doubt.. If you are who you say you are, you will hand him over to us. If not, we can take him from you...

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> ::looks at Zoe strangely...:: CTO:  Aye Ma'am… if you say so.  Must be an important book.

OPS_Mades says:
::offhandedly::  CO: That they probably can...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: What is the capabilities of this vessel?

FCO_Teasley says:
::looks to see if there is a way through the Hanthrosian ships if it comes to that::

Host Hanthrosian says:
@COMM : Artemis : That doesn't concern us.  Only that he is wanted for multiple crimes.

OPS_Mades says:
CO: We can't tell sir.

CTO_Peters says:
::nods:: Topper:  It is, but I can't tell you more then that.  I've said too much.  We need to hide it... put transport inhibitors around it and some shielding.  I don't want that book found.  Understood?

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Sir, if he is linked to the group that attacked me, he is wanted under Federation law as well...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Hanthrosian shuttle: What exactly did this so-called rebel do that you want him so badly?

TO_Sky says:
::continues trying to get the sensors to get through the shielding on the other vessels::

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> CTO:  Understood Ma'am ::Although curiosity is getting the better of him, he doesn't ask any questions as the two of them begin tearing apart the brig looking for the book.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Then we have no other alternative but to hand him over to the Hanthrosian's

Host Hanthrosian says:
COMM : Artemis : You are in Hanthrosian space. Will you surrender this man to us or not? Cause if you don't, we'll have no choice but to open fire on your vessel for harboring a know felon, and retrieve him by any means necessary...

XO_Farrel says:
CO: But if he is wanted under Federation law as well, can we not release him until he has faced Federation charges?

TO_Sky says:
::fingers hover near the firing buttons not sure if they are going to get into a fight or not::

CTO_Peters says:
::Entering the last brig cell she finds something is not right.  Cutting the power the book appears.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Hanthrosian shuttle: This man is also wanted by the Federation and he will stand trial for his crimes against the Federation

CTO_Peters says:
::Grabbing it, she hides it under her tunic and motions for Topper to follow her having him grab some transport inhibitors.::

XO_Farrel says:
::quickly looking through information on her PADD, making it up as she goes in some sense.:: CO: maybe we could suggest a joint- trial?  such measures have been used before under extraordinary circumstances.

CTO_Peters says:
::With Topper in Tow she runs out of the tactical area.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::thinks he's found a way past the Hanthrosians should we need to get out::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: That could work, but in the meantime this vessel is going to attack if we don't hand him over now. I'll see what can be done

XO_Farrel says:
::nods::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Hanthrosian shuttle: I would like to see your leaders and maybe we can work something out before I hand him over

Host Hanthrosian says:
@COMM : Artemis : That is up to our superiors, not us. Last chance Artemis. We have been patient.. Will you surrender him or not?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Hanthrosian shuttle: As I stated, I would like to see your leaders and then we can work something out before I hand him over

Host Hanthrosian says:
@COMM Artemis : Artemis. They where the ones that sent the orders to apprehend him by any means necessary. You have 40 seconds to comply.
