<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin "A New Beginning" part 7>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::on the bridge at science one, monitoring the planet's surface and internal sensors::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::In Main Engineering, under the supervision of a pair of Urel's guards. He glances over at the Master Situation Display - he begins assigning repair teams, and coordinating repair efforts::

Host CO_Correz says:
::on the bridge pacing waiting to hear from the CEO::

ACTION: On ME, Urel's people watch the CEO like hawks...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: So, what is our next move?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::stands at Science 2, running over scans of the planets inhabited areas::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He feels like he's under a microscope, and the Bolian Chief Engineer does his best to figure out a way to sabotage Urel's control over the vessel. He smiles to himself as an idea comes to mind:: Urel: Urel...I need to speak with you - now...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::glances at what the CMO is doing:: CMO: You know, I still think that compound has nothing to do with the natives

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Commander is there anything in the data bases about urel planet and the federation’s diplomatic visit?

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO: Any idea who is down on that planet

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and the CO and taps a few buttons::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: There is one reference, on the logs of the USS Halinda ...

Host Urel says:
::turns, and approaches the CEO:: CEO : What do you want?

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; Can you tell me the basic of it and why the federation left if Possible

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CSO: Really? Was it the torpedo turrets that made it so obvious? ::he gives a little smile before looking over to the Captain:: CO: Only the planets natural inhabitants and whoever is manning that outpost, or facility

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks over the report quickly::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The planet was in the middle of a fierce civil war between two factions

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO: Understood is the technology they are using with that devise likely to be there own?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: While there, they witness the conflicts escalating leading to an all out war

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan picks up a PADD off of a nearby control console, and brings up a damage report. Oitan skims the list quickly and picks out the most unimportant error detected by the ship's internal sensors:: Urel: When you and your...associates...transferred control of the Artemis to the bridge, you rerouted certain control subroutines.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Urel: When we were attacked, the computer core took minimal damage through an overload in the EPS taps. When the shields went offline, the computer detected an error in the feed to the core. ::He taps the PADD and hands it to Urel:: I'm going to have to reboot the core to prevent extensive computer damage...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: One of the Halinda's officers was caught when surveying the capital of one of the factions, she was caught

Host CO_Correz says:
::listens to commander Gomes::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Was she killed or released

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: It seems the ones that caught her accused the Federation of espionage. Despite the proofs that a similar representative had been sent to the other side

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks at Urel, dead serious. If this works, he may be able to shut-down the core and reboot the main systems, restoring command control to the bridge::

Host Urel says:
::grabs the padd from the CEO's and, and hands it over to another pirate:: Pirate : Is he telling the truth?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Unable to tell, Captain. It could be that the people who man the facility built it, or they could have just found it...

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; Sounds to me as if a few didn't want an end to the war

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO; thank you doctor

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Neither Captain, she was rescued by the Halinda, making the ones that caught her more infuriated. That made spirits even angrier towards the other side, since they thought the Federation was helping them

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Oitan Hixxan doesn't take his eyes off of Urel and waits for the pirate's analysis of his data::

Host CO_Correz says:
*CEO* Correz to Hixxan

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: hmm well it seems the war is still raging and Urel may want to end it

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I suppose the Halinda in avertedly breached the Prime Directive and deepened the hate and war between these people

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: How does he propose to do that? By piracy?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Never letting his eyes drift from Urel, Hixxan taps his comm badge once:: *CO*: Hixxan here, how can I help you Captain?

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; were they not invited to help in peace talks then

Host CO_Correz says:
*CEO* Status on shields please commander

Host Urel says:
<Pirate> Urel : He's trying to trick you sir... All he needs to do is shut down power on the affected conduits and repair them... No need to reboot the core...

Host Urel says:
::frowns:: CEO : Just fix the damage... And if you try any other stunt... We'll fix it ourselves.. Got it?? ::slams the padd back into Hixxan's hands::

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO: Commander can you slave tac for me and check those torpedo launchers

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
*CO*: Repair teams are on it...::He continues to watch Urel:: Urel: I could do that, yes...however the damage has already been done...I would rather halt any further degradation...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Got it, Captain ::dragging Tactical over to his console he brings up the torpedo launcher status::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Actually they weren't. They were surveying the area and found the colony at war so they tried to mediate the peace talks

Host Urel says:
CEO : Well, that all depends on how fast you get us what we want.. After we're done, you can do whatever you like with the core.

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: well it didn't look like a good move knowing what we know now, either way i cannot let them have that devise, unfortunately Urel is not up for the peaceful terms side of it either

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Urel: You actually intend on leaving this vessel once your dirty little task is complete? ::Hixxan's eyes narrow and a threatening tone enters his voice:: ...or will we have to drive you and your pets away?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I see, so he wants to end war with absolute victory for his side? not very logical, that kind of peace never lasts

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: The launchers are dead, Captain, no-one’s tried to repair them

Host Urel says:
CEO: You won't know until you do what we want... But all we wish is to right something you Federation people wronged.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: But he does have a point if he accuses us, before the Halinda went there, the war they had was one of words and strength, a sort of cold war that only escalated with our interference

Host CO_Correz says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO: No one? scan the what you can and see if they have any surprises for us.. I want to know what they are up to if at all possible

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Urel: We Federation people did? What in the hell did we do that you need our help to correct? What is so bad that it has required threats, and sabotage...and that?! ::He uses the PADD and points to the explosives strapped to the core::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Understood Commander

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods and looks back at his tactical display, bringing up sensor feeds and directing them at the planet for any possible backup launcher or repair teams::

Host Urel says:
CEO : 7 years of war.. That's what... MILLIONS DEAD! ::Urel raised his voice::

Host Urel says:
CEO : Now... Do your thing.. You have.. ::looks at a chronometer..:: 30 minutes here. After that, you’ll have to leave this place.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Did he happen to say who those people down there on the planet were? The ones he wants to steal from?

Host Urel says:
::moves off to the CEO's office::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Urel: You blame us for a war? What did we do...huh? I'm not leaving until I get an answer...::He grabs Urel by the shoulder and spins him back around to face him::

Host Urel says:
::Urel quickly spins and slams his open hand onto the CEO's face, full force, knocking him back a few steps::

ACTION: Two pirates turn their side arms towards the CEO

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; well maybe I should try and talk to him again .. no nothing I managed to get some information about the civil war but then we had the torpedoes hit us and I was back here.. there’s nothing right in any of this and its not playing well on my conscious

Host Urel says:
CEO: Never touch me!

Host CO_Correz says:
*Urel* Correz to urel

Host Urel says:
::turns and leaves this time::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::  CO: I was just wondering if we couldn't get more information or even help from whoever is down there

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::His face turns to the right as the slap hits him full force, with a moan he swings back, glaring at Urel:: Urel: Then leave my ship alone...get what you want and leave, or I'll do more then just touch you, Vorta scum!

Host Urel says:
*CO* : WHAT do you want... ::keeps moving towards the office::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: I will leave that in your care commander see what you can do

Host Urel says:
::ignores Hixxan::

Host CO_Correz says:
::is a little Startled:: *Urel* having a bad day ?

Host Urel says:
*CO*: Your chief engineer is a loose cannon, Captain... Keep a tight leash on him, or i will not be responsible for what happens next.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan gives an angered yell and throws the PADD across Engineering, watching as it slams into a nearby bulkhead. He marches back to the master situation display and gets to work::

Host Urel says:
::sits down on Hixxan's desk::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Do I have permission to try to contact them Captain?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::The normally happy and chipper Oitan Hixxan begins to mumble under his breath and set to work coordinating repairs on the shield generators, and structural integrity::

Host CO_Correz says:
*Urel* Well you have taken over Main Engineering and it is his .. anyway urel I would like to talk to you further if possible since we are not going anywhere at the moment ... maybe I can invite you and one of your body guards if need be for coffee in my ready room ::Stops as she hears her self say that in disbelief ::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: what are your thoughts on the matter?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the data with a sigh, before lifting her head to the captain::

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO: Doctor Find anything

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::hears the Captain and Urel talking before tapping his comm badge:: *CEO*: Kymar to Hixxan, are you alright down there? I can be down with a med kit in five minutes

Host Urel says:
::shakes his head:: *CO* : You seem more interested in talking than in doing what i ask of you... Why?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Nothing so far, Captain. Tactical sensors show two destroyed turrets, no attempts to repair them or life-signs within their vicinity

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
*CMO*: We may have some injured down here, Doctor. I'm sure Urel's people were not kind to my Engineering staff when they took over. You may need that pirate's permission though...::He sighs and glances at a control display again::

Host CO_Correz says:
*Urel* A few reason really, we are not going any where till repairs are made, secondly I was interested in what was happening to your planet,

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO; Acknowledged is Hixxan Okay down there

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The technology used on the base is an assortment of several known types of technology

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Could they have scavangered them

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I do not know who they are but they are not afraid to fire on a Starfleet vessel

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks over to the CO, politely clearing his throat before speaking:: CO: Captain, there may be some wounded down there. Can you ask our "guest" for permission to take a med kit down?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He rubs his cheek with one hand and sighs:: *CMO*: Personally, I'm no worse for wear...

Host Urel says:
*CO*: You destroyed the only planetary defence that base had...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Quite possibly, either that or bought it or even stole it

Host Urel says:
*CO*: You can send your team in now..

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CEO*: A relief to hear, Commander. Hopefully Urel will permit me coming down there to check on your team

Host CO_Correz says:
*Urel* As a captain of this Ship we are not going anywhere till I am satisfied we have some defence against anything they throw at us .. I’m sure you are used to Tactical analysis ..... and they away team will go down .. meanwhile is there any harm in talking

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
*CMO*: Many thanks, Doctor. Tell Captain Correz that I will report when I know more on the repairs and the damage to the computer core...Hixxan out.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The torpedo launchers are actually old models used by the Federation. The torpedoes on the other hand were Klingon, Ferengi and others

Host CO_Correz says:
::Looks around the bridge and shakes her head::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: If only we could try to contact them without Urel noticing

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; What?  You know this gets more intriguing as we learn more.. there’s got to be a way see if you can find one

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nodding to himself as the comm closes he looks over to the Captain again:: CO: Lieutenant Commander Hixxan will update you as soon as he's more informed of the repairs, Captain. Could I also get permission to speak with Urel and negotiate allowing me access to ME so I can heal the possible wounded on the Engineering Team?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::thinks she should have seen this comming:: CO: Aye aye Captain, I'll keep you informed of my progress

Host Urel says:
*CO*: I don't need to talk.. you and yours have talked enough. Now is time for action. ::cuts the comm::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan glances at the repair reports and nods to himself once - the large hole in the front section will require work at a Federation starbase, the shield generators can be repaired within 4 hours...the torpedo launchers may take a few hours more...::

Host CO_Correz says:
::Sighs:: CMO; you can try and I do hope the chief gets a move on I think urel might be a little impatient

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; Why your are at it see if you can get a signal to SFC and let them know what’s going on

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nodding he opens a communication channel to engineering:: *Urel*: Mr. Urel, this is Commander Kymar Dremel, Chief Medic. I've had reports of possible injuries down there, and would like permission to tend to any wounded engineers

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: That I am certain we won't be able to do till we have main engineering back, we don't have access to long range communications anymore

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; Understood .. what about Audio for the planet

Host Urel says:
*CMO*: Don’t you people know when to stop bothering me??? All your Engineering officers were transported off ME as soon as we took it over. None remain.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: We can't use any of the ships systems without Urel noticing, but.... ::stops, thinking::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Your telling me we are on a ship with all this technology and there’s nothing we can do .. radio signals ect

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*Urel*: And Commander Hixxan? He was suffering from some effects during a minor skin decolouration before the away team, and your...attack...may have aggravated his injuries which in turn led him to become violent. I don't wish to jeopardise this ship's crew by having an officer try to go gung-ho on you down there

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan taps his comm badge and hands a PADD over to one of the pirates:: *Bridge*: Hixxan to bridge, I have an estimated repair time on the shield generators - it'll take at least four hours - depending on how many EPS conduits I have to reroute...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I'll adapt a commbadge to send long range communications should be easy

Host Urel says:
*CMO* : Too late.. I'm sure your Chief Engineer will not do anything more to aggravate us... You can treat him when he is done here.. Urel out.

Host CO_Correz says:
*CEO* Chief that’s not good enough

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; we can but try

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::takes her badge and changes the frequency and amplitude of the carrier wave so they can reach the base on the planet::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
:;sighs softly and shakes his head:: Self: Damned pirates....

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::takes a deep breathe closing the badge::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Want to try it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
*CO*: Unless you want something like main power going offline...it might be necessary. I don't want a shipwide power overload when we try to bring the shields online...::He hopes the Captain gets his meaning::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: I’m not sure if this is going to make thing worse or not .. but I think its best if we hold our identity secret for a while

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::  CO: If we are to contact them we would need a large dose of diplomacy and tact... along with a darn good poker face

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: so to speak

Host CO_Correz says:
::Smiles as she hears that:;  *CEO*  Chief as I said that Estimated time for repairs is not good enough you have 30 minutes to get these shields online so we can send this away team down .. is that clearly understood Commander ?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
*CO*: I have repair teams working on the shield generators...I should be able to coordinate the rest of the repairs from the bridge. ::He glances at the pirates:: I can leave anytime now. Understood, Captain...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::smiles as he listens to the conversation, admiring the plan as it fits together::

Host CO_Correz says:
::Hopes he got her meaning::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; Diplomacy is one thing I am short of right now ... keep a hold of that devise we may need it latter

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan closes down his display, and moves over to a pirate, waiting to be escorted from Main Engineering::

Host Urel says:
<Pirate> ::grins, and escorts the CEO to the main ME bulkhead, nods to someone::

ACTION: The bulkhead opens to allow the CEO to pass

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the Captain::  CO: I'll continue monitoring the movements near the base, the few I can with that shield in place

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan rushes into a turbolift, heading directly to the bridge. He hopes his plan will succeed...and after a few minutes, he enters the bridge:: CO: I've got a plan...

ACTION: Immediately after the CEO exits, the bulkhead door closes again::

Host CO_Correz says:
::Sits down in her chair tapping her fingers:: All; lets get this straight we have various amount of mixed technology, we cannot get a reading on that devise that urel is willing to die for and what ever happens I have to let an away tram down where we cannot ::Stops as she sees Hixxan Enter:: CEO: Fire away

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: I can...ahem, complete repairs within the 30 minute window...after an away team is beamed down, we can raise the shields...and bam, power goes down. I can get the item...and we can regain control of the Artemis...

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Assemble the away team in the ready room please Commander

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks surprised at Correz::  CO: Tactical team? And I would like to take medic as well

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Captain, am I right in thinking that we have access to the Shuttlebay, and Urel's ship?

Host CO_Correz says:
::shakes head:: CEO: that’s a frightening plan Commander and risk the away teams life but worth a try .. talk the CMO through it please

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: TAC And CEO Commander I will need your assistance on the bridge now commander

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Understood...::He moves over towards the Medical Officer and nods to him once::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods back to Hixxan:: CEO: How're you feeling, Chief? A nice plan you seem to have come up with...

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; I will need you to monitor the away team for as long as possible and then hopefully help me get this ship systems up and running

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Aye, I have sent three tactical officers and a medical officer to the readyroom, that should be enough

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CMO: Doing well...we're going to need a strong team to take over Main Engineering...do you think you can coordinate with tactical?

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; Thank you

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CEO: We've got two teams on standby outside ME, they're a discreet distance away but ready to go in on the Captain's order

Host CO_Correz says:
CEO: Commander I need to see you now with the away team in the RR

Host CO_Correz says:
::walks into the RR and looks at the Away team already assembled::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CMO: Excellent. ::He smiles and moves towards the Ready Room with Captain Correz and the team::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan looks around at the assembled away team and nods to himself as his plan begins to come together:: CO: Ready, Captain...we should be good to go in thirty minutes.

Host CO_Correz says:
All: there are a few thing that I want to make you aware of from all accounts the technology being used is a jumble of mixed species, Learn what you can of the devise and the people down there, I do not want Urel to get hold of that devise so back to your plan on that one Chief.. Just try and get as much info as you can about anything
