Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 10802.15

"The Game"
"Endgame"

Previously on DS102:

Captain Marek had returned from a secret mission to gather proof that Romulans were involved in a plot to destabilize Federation worlds. The Flight Officer, Cadet Ferrone, was killed on that mission, and remains in Sickbay in Stasis. The Scorpius is en route to get the intelligence they have gathered to Federation authorities... but they have been followed by a Romulan scout ship that has just been detected...

CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::at Red Alert::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (REDALERT.wav)
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::raises an eyebrow:: Why this does not surprise me?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::on the Bridge watching the fast approaching Romulan scout ship on the Main Viewer::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sounds really ironic::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I was expecting this, but not so soon
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Tactical - assessment Ensign
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: It's a Romulan Scout, not much of a threat to us, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Tactical - prepare to fire on the Captain’s command
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
XO: Aye, sir. I have the ship targeted. One the Captain’s order
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Have they fired on us yet?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: No Captain, but any time you want to fire, tactical is ready
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Scout holds position just outside weapons range...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Not until they fire first, open hailing frequencies
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: The scout is holding position just outside weapons range, sir
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Open up a channel Ensign
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
XO: Aye ::opens Channel::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
XO: Channel open sir.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: This is Captain Yo'Ghi of the USS Scorpius to the Romulan scout ship. You are violating the Federation space and treaties between our people, Stand down and prepare to be boarded
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: CO: Do not attempt to board us, Captain. It will be met with a self destruct sequence. However, I think we may assist each other.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::under her breath:: Sure you can......... uh huh.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::keeping a close eye on the scout ship for anything suspicious::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::considers that the CO is taking a long shot by threatening to board the Romulan scout ship, but what the heck, the one who never risks, never wins::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: As per the treaty establishing the Federation-Romulan neutral zone you are to be taken into custody until you are delivered back to your people with the proper sanctions
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: Your presence here in itself could be considered an act of war
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: Scorpius: CO:  Captain, I advise you to hear me out before you act. I have information that would likely benefit both of us. :smirks::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::would like to wipe that smirk off her face::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::with a torpedo::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: I will give you a few minutes to explain this, if there can be a justifiable cause, you better be really convincing
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: Sir, I would recommend a secure line.
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: Scorpius: CO:  Well, let me start by saying that things are not at all well in the Empire.  There is a rogue faction that has been trying to destabilize your federation worlds.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::Self, mumbles:: Well, certainly not very fresh news... ::raises an eyebrow, and stands next to the center of the Bridge::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: Captain, Sir. I recommend a secure line for this conversation, sir.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: No need ensign
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: ::nods and continues to watch the ship::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: looks at Captain Marek and wonders if this was the same guy he met with on the away mission ::
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: Scorpius: CO:  What you may not know is that this is Romulan faction is not the prevailing view in the Empire. They are opportunists.  Their base was just compromised by an unknown force. I assume that was you.
CNS_Rand says:
::listens to the conversation, watching both Captains::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::glances back at the XO:: XO: ::mumbles:: Never fully trust in a Romulan, I say.
CNS_Rand says:
::leans over to Yo'Ghi and whispers:: CO: Captain, I'm sensing that he is being honest with you.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::Scans the scout, finds 5 life forms and updates the tactical board::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: You really have nothing very much interesting for me. We always suspected your people were meddling with Federation internal affairs; we just need the real hard evidence to decide us to act
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: ::quietly so only the Station Commander hears:: Interesting thought, considering the relationship of Romulans to Vulcans?
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: Scorpius: CO: And you have it. What you don't have is who is backing them. I can give you that. But I want something in return.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::watches her board and continues to scan, but cocks her head to listen::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: That's something that Vulcans always wanted to erase from the past. As humans say, it is a touchy matter.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: ::hears the last Romulan Cmdr. sentence:: See what I mean, Mr. Mitchell?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: What would you want if we had that kind of evidence?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: I suppose, but there've always been those who thought of reunification between your two species..... and yes, I do, but, isn't that true about anyone who wants to trade information or Intel?
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: Scorpius: CO:  ::very serious look::  Asylum.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::raises eyebrows but doesn't lift her head from her console::
CNS_Rand says:
::nods, thinking that if he shares this evidence he'll need asylum for survival::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::instantly turns head back to the Viewscreen::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: ::raises an eyebrow agreeing with the XO remark::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Everything was its advantages and disadvantages. Reunification hasn't been made yet because it implies a vast number of logical analysis... and an equal amount of... illogical decisions also. And as for your second statement, spy games are a nasty thing.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: For yourself only or with your crew?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::whispers:: We must be very sure of his identity before even offer him asylum.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::does look up after signaling a security team to stand by::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Whomever he his Starfleet Intelligence will be glad to have him to "debrief" him
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: Scorpius: CO:  For myself, and these four crewmen with me, my most loyal men. I present this Scout vessel as a gift also, although I suspect you already know much of its construction and capability.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Surely he realizes he'd never be a trusted person, in either his old reality or his new one
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::whispers:: Yes, but we must be sure he is not "selling us colorful mirrors" instead of true information.
CNS_Rand says:
XO/SC/CO:  Perhaps so, but he is being truthful with you now.  
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: It is not to us to judge the information, he requested asylum, we will provide it
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/XO/CNS: ::thinks:: Very well, I that case, I supposed we should proceed that way. ::nods::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scout: You will power down all shields and weapons, allow for a thorough scan of your ship then you will enter the shuttle bay were my people will inspect the ship and escort you to your quarters, is that agreed?
CNS_Rand says:
::watches the Romulan Commander's reaction to the Captain's decision::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::orders two security teams to the shuttlebay to stand by for further orders::
Host Gerry says:
@<RomCDR> COM: Scorpius: CO:  As you wish, Captain.  ::motions to his control officers::  Jolan Tru.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Please, double check all scanning of the Romulan vessel.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
SC: Yes, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::starts setting up some security protocols for Security to implement::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/XO: Prepare to inspect the ship and look for explosive devices, have them escorted by guards to secured quarters and no access to the computer or any part of the ship
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::notices the XO's protocols on her board and implements them immediately::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Not to burden you Ensign, but I'm sending some outlines for protocols we'll need to have implemented if this is going to happen
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CTO: I have them sir, and have implemented them
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/XO: I understand the risk of having them here, but we also have the duty to protect those whishing to defect. Just keep your eyes opened and be careful
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Gladly, sir.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan Scout vessel come to and awaits clearance to enter the shuttle bay
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Have they powered down shields and weapons?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Arrange that a secure team meet us in Shuttle Bay.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: Security teams are standing by in the shuttle bay and I have notified engineering also
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Sir, I’m on it.... :: heads towards Bridge exit to Turbolift::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::tracts the scout and scans::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::walks into the TL with the XO::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO Yes, and I am scanning the ship now
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: When your scans are conclusive they are disarmed signal them to proceed
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: they are disarmed and I'm running a conclusive scan now
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::brings all data to her board::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: I find nothing harmful about this ship sir, she is disarmed, and her shields are down.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: You will also have the scout ship guarded around the clock, and keep it under constant scan, so if it sends a signal out I want to know
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
TL: Computer - Shuttle Bay
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: Aye sir
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: This should prove interesting
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::notifies the special forces to the shuttle bay::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Well, I certainly hope this whole mess could lead us to something fruitful. We owe that to Cadet Ferrone.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
*XO*: Sir, when you arrive in the shuttle bay, you'll find three teams of security personnel and one from engineering.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: Sir, shall I bring the scout on board?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CTO*: Copy that Ensign
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Yes, proceed
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
*SC/XO*: proceeding to open bay doors now.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Scout vessel enters the shuttle slowly, and the shuttle bay doors close... just.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: The scout is onboard, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives at the Shuttle Bay level turbolift access point and proceeds to the Shuttle Bay::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::coordinates with OPS to set up secure quarters for our "quests" and security personnel to man them around the clock::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
FCO: Resume course, engage
CNS_Rand says:
::hopes that the Romulan crew is treated with respect and diplomacy, considering the risk that they're taking::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::walks into the Shuttle Bay, and signal the Sec / Eng Team to deploy around the Romulan roundabout::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CNS: Have you ever met Romulans before?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::notes that all teams are suitably armed and prepared::
CNS_Rand says:
CO: A few, but I've served with several mixed Romulan heritage.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The gangway extends to the floor and 5 Romulans exit, led by the Romulan commander...
