SC_Capt_Marek says:
::observes the surgical alterations that have been made to his face in a mirror:: ::raises an eyebrow:: Self: Interesting...
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::sitting on the biobed across from Marek::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: I think the doctors made a good job... It is no easy to fix my face... ::smiles::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in the command chair on the USS Scorpius ::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: I never thought I'd be looking like a Romulan
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Well, as I never got tired to say, always expect the unexpected when you are assigned to a Deep Space Station...
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: to himself: not that this isn't the weirdest thing that's happened to me before ::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::walks into the surgical area to check in on the Captain and Cadet::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::looks over at the XO walking in:: XO: Jolan'tru Commander Mitchell.
TO_Ens_Norana says:
:: at ops station tapping console::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: ::nods to the XO:: Well, what do you think? Are we Romulans or not? ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Well said Cadet Ferrone.... How does it all feel?
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
XO: I feel like I could be a member of the Tal' Shiar.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Good, let's hope they feel the same...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: And Captain, you're looking mighty Romulan today?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: I never wanted to look like my cousins, but there are worst things, I guess. Commander, any progress with the false leads?
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::walks into sickbay:: XO: Commander, I need your opinion on something... ::sees SC and FCO, and then reaches for his type I phaser:: Sir, I hope those two are our station commander and the cadet.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: A few subspace messages have leaked out... Hopefully, not too much, as we don't want to rouse suspicions
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Easy, Mr. Masters, I am still the old eccentric Vulcan Captain
TO_Ens_Norana says:
*CEO*: I was thinking maybe we can leak some security reports also to Romulans out of date ones.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::stands down:: SC: Good thing you spoke up, sir, or else I would be facing charges for murder.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Sure, can you wait a bit till we've got these two ready to go?
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Yes sir. *TO*: Hold on that until I consult with the exec.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Very well, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::turns back to the Captain:: Sir, while you two are off gallivanting around the quadrant, do you have any final orders for me?..... Well, not final orders, but...... ::grins::
TO_Ens_Norana says:
::looks over security report  one of  them Ferengi trying to con a person saying product would grow hair and person was left with no more hair::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: looks at SC::  SC: Sir, have the implanted the micro-cellular transponder?  
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: I agree with you, Commander. You won't get rid of me so easily... Now, seriously, please coordinate with Captain Yo'Ghi and TO Norana the further internal investigation of every lead indicating a possible Tal’ Shiar informant aboard the Station. If so, see to purging that contact.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Err... I assume they implanted when we were under surgery.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: And, of course, you will be ASC during my absence, Commander. I guess that will give you the opportunity to completely familiarize with the Station and this ship.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: Aye, sir. Permission to leave Sickbay, Sir? I want to check out our gear again before we leave.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Proceed. I will meet you in the Roundabout.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::silently snickers... the XO doesn't get to go along with the party ::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::nods to the XO::  XO: Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Get to the Bridge and make the final arrangements with Captain Yo'Ghi.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Sir, the runabout is fueled up and ready to go.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
AFCO: ETA ensign?
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: leaves Sickbay and heads over to shuttlebay ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Perfect, Commander. The FCO is just going there to make the final check.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::arrives at the runabout ::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: checks their tricorders and weapons over ::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
<AFCO>CO: ETA is twelve minutes captain
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*FCO*: Cadet? Did you have any questions?
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CO: Reading law enforcement reports always brings me some joy captain.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: tests out the tricorders to make sure they are picking up the transponders in Marek and himself ::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
*XO*: Aye, sir?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*FCO*: Cadet, I thought you had a question for me before you left for the shuttlebay.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: tries to think of a question really quick and not really getting anything... ::  *XO*: Yeah.. uhhh...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Captain,  Marek here. We are ready to depart. The FCO has proceeded to the Shuttlebay, and I on my may there right now.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
*XO*: Actually, not a question, sir. Just a request. If I don't make it back, please see to it my grandparents are contacted on Earth.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: Stand by, we will drop out of warp in a few minutes, good luck captain
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: reflects back on his memories growing up on Earth so long ago and leaving when he was so young ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Thanks, Captain. Live long and prosper. Marek out.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*FCO*: I'll see you when you get back Cadet..... You’ll be able to contact them yourself
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Commander Masters, you had something?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: I think you should get back to the Bridge. I am leaving my Station to you, and I want to find it in one piece when I get back, understood? ::smiles::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: doesn't respond to the XO...  but has a sinking feeling this mission is not going to end up well::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: See you soon, Commander. ::hurries to the Shuttle Bay::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Yes, Sir. Ens. Norana is wondering when and what security reports we should "leak."
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Yes Sir...
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Good luck, Captain.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Qa'pla!
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: sees the tricorder picking up the transponders as expected ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::nods to both officers and exits the Room:: *FCO*: I am on my way, Cadet.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
AFCO: Drop out of warp and signal the shuttle they are cleared for departure
TO_Ens_Norana says:
::taps on console a bit faster::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Some of the communiqués have already been leaked. ::hands over a PADD:: If you'll take a look at these and share them with Norana, you'll find a schedule of releases and a rough draft as to what they should be
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: sets up an automatic transport program to be executed via the tricorder...  if the tricorder program is executed, the targeted transponder will be transported to the runabout...  that is if the tricorder can make a connection to the runabout's computer core ::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
TO: I'm sorry Ensign, I think you spoke to me earlier and I was thinking about something and did not respond. What was it about?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives at the Shuttle Bay and boards the Shuttle:: FCO: Well, in a couple of minutes the Scorpius will drop out of warp and we will get clearance for departure. ::enters the coordinates into the flying console::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Aye, sir.
*TO*: Ensign, we have a new schedule. I'm on my way back up to the bridge with it.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: Aye, sir...  one more thing I need to check...
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CO: You should spend some time reading security reports on station some of stuff Ferengi pull are just plain funny.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::grabs a phaser rifle with a telescoping lens...  checks out the site and focusing ::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::in her office going over the reports that she's missed while on the station::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Well, that some rifle you got there...
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: I'm your backup, remember, Sir?
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Scorpius arrives at the drop-off point...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Yep, and I glad of it, indeed.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods and sighs off on them before sending them to the CO::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::hands the SC one of the tricorders::  Sir... I've set up a program so that if you target one of our transponders, you will have the option of transporting that person back to the Runabout. As long as the tricorder can make a connection the runabout the program will work.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::rides TL to bridge::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
TO: Ferengis should be watched full-time by a security team.....
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: hops into the pilot's seat and engages all seals on the runabout ::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
<AFCO>: CO: We have dropped out of warp
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CO: You know we could use nanobots to spy on all Ferengi at all time. With some legalese with jag officer might be possible.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
<AFCO> *SC*: You are cleared for departure sir
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: performs flight readiness system checks ::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: hears the CO::  SC: system checks will be completed in a minute, sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::grabs the tricorder and checks it:: FCO: Perfect. I think that may become very useful...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
TO: Please keep an eye on long range sensors for as long as we can detect the shuttle
TO_Ens_Norana says:
::scans long range::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::gets another cup of tea before beginning reading the personnel files that was left for her::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Understood. ::helps the FCO with the final flight routines::
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CO: All clear Captain.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
TO: On the other hand it keeps the security details on the edge..... Never knowing what they are planning...
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::enters bridge:: TO: Ensign, Cmdr. Mitchell drew up this schedule of leaks and the drafts of the releases we're to leak.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: sees flight systems coming back green ::  *CO*: We're ready to depart, sir.
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CEO: Which plans you want me to send Sir?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::after seeing the Captain and Cadet off, makes his way back to the Bridge::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@:: engages RCS and takes the runabout out of the Scorpius...  moves it to a safe distance ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
TO: I think we should send out a partial, to tease our friends out there.
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CEO: Just give me the signal to send and i will, sir
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@ SC: We've cleared the Scorpius. Switching to impulse engines, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
TO: Do it.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The shuttle departs the Scorpius Shuttle Bay
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::slowly reads through the files::
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CEO: Aye, aye sir. ::Sends small portions of the information::
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@SC: If you'll be so kind as to input the destination coordinates, sir, I'll fire this up to warp speed.
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CEO: Some of the info is sent out sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::inputs the final security codes to the secret coordinates in order to start the travel:: FCO: There you go. Warp 4, Cadet
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@ SC: Aye, Sir.  :: engages the warp drive :: 
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives to the Bridge and approaches the Captain:: CO: Sir, the Captain and Cadet are away
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@ SC: Reading warp 4, sir.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@:: wonders where Marek obtained the coordinates from ::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Aye Commander, nice seeing you finally
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Yes Sir, it's been a long time coming
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::shakes her head as she reads some of the entries::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: I've got the CEO and TO working on the false messages
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: So how does it feel to be XO of DS-102 and the USS Scorpius?
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@ :: checking navigational sensors :: SC: 14 minutes to the neutral zone, Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@FCO: Ok. Once again, we are not dealing with amateurs, Mr. Ferrone. We should watch our back with every step we make. If everything goes well, this is going to be one story to tell to our grandchildren... Well, at least the part that is not classified.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Well Sir, sometimes a bit confusing, but overall, I'll figure it out
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@FCO: Acknowledged.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@ SC: You don't have to tell me twice, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
TO: Wait about an hour, and then release another megaquad of data.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Will we be hanging around or going back to the Station Sir?
TO_Ens_Norana says:
CEO: Yes sir.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I know what you mean, I was XO before too
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::finds herself getting distracted by her own thoughts and pushes back from her desk:: Self:  Time for a walk around the deck.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: For now we keep on high alert and we patrol the border area, casually, scanning for dust and asteroids and other things
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@FCO: Cadet, once we reach our destination we should immediately beam down to the surface. Hopefully, the false leads will reach the Tal’ Shiar field agents there, and we will be able to make contact. Also, we should reduce our contact to the minimum possible.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::leaves her office and walks down the corridor toward and then past sickbay::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Right Sir, I will send a secure coded message back to the station with instructions and updates. They can be included, at least partially, in the false communiqués being sent.
FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: Aye, sir. If you look in the far aft storage container, I've set aside a couple of hooded cloaks...  just as an added precaution at being recognized.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Don't worry commander, they know how to manage without us, they have done it before
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
TO: Here are some additional messages ::hands Norana another PADD::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::moves and reaches the container:: FCO: I see. You can never be too much precautious.
TO_Ens_Norana says:
::takes the padd starts adding messages to data::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Messages away, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Good work
