CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> ::watches as the ship gracefully arcs to the left::
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
SC: The message was coded so it would not be intercepted, but I can tell you about it
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::ears perk up::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::nods::
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
SC: We are to take a new passenger, who wants to speak with our guests

@<TSOPS> COM: Scorpius: Titan Station here. Welcome to Sol System. How can we help, Scorpius?
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
COM: TSOPS: We are requesting immediate docking.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::heads to Bridge::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> ::waits for docking clearance::
Host Gerry says:
@<TSOPS> COM: Scorpius:  You are cleared for approach on vector three-five-niner and for docking at port two, Scorpius. Follow the inbound beacon at 56 GHz...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::enters nearest turbolift:: Computer: Bridge
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
COM: TSOPS: Confirmed and thank you.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::sends the into to AFCO::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> ::acknowledges with a nod:: CO: Approaching the station.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
CTO: Ask them if our new passenger is ready to embark
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Scorpius docks at port 2 of an upper pylon
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: Aye.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
COM: TSOPS: Is our passenger ready to embark?
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::sends two escorts to the docking bay::
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
SC: I suggest you get to the airlock to greet him and walk him to our guests
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives on Bridge::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::putters, putters, and putters some more::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: On my way.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::nods to the XO::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Acknowledged
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Ensign, I see we're docked. How's the situation?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sees the XO exiting the TL::  XO: Commander. ::nods and enters the TL::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
XO: We have docked and are waiting on a passenger to join us.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
CO: I have acknowledgement from TSOPS that our passenger is waiting at the airlock for the SC to meet with him.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Thanks. This should get interesting when our newcomer meets our guests
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
XO: I almost forgot, you need to get to Mars
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::wonders who the newcomer is::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Not a problem Sir, everything in its own time, eh?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::exits the TL and rushes to the Airlock::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The airlock door rolls away and reveals a familiar face to the SC...
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::escorts stand at attention::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sees a familiar face:: :
Host ADM_Taylor says:
::raised eyebrow::  SC: Permission to come aboard, Captain.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
XO: Set the flight path from here to Mars and then Earth, I'm sure our new passenger will welcome the extra time to talk
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::salutes the Admiral:: Admiral: Permission granted. Sir! Live long and prosper. Glad to have you aboard.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
SC: Indeed, Peace, and long life. ::Vulcan salute::  I'm your contact here. We must get back to your station quickly. ::walks onto the Scorpius::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Admiral: This way, Admiral. ::escorts the Admiral to the TL::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Sir, and thank you Sir..... Consider it done
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<Security Escorts> ::follow the SC and Admiral to the TL::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks over the FCO's shoulder, reviews the flight status, enters in some flight parameters so the FCO can plot the course::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> ::tries not to squirm and the XO leans over her shoulder::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the TL after the Admiral:: TL: Bridge!
Host ADM_Taylor says:
::follows the SC, looking around, seeing what has changed, what has remained the same::
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
XO: Unless we have orders to do otherwise I suggest we make it a casual cruise, about half impulse?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Sir, half impulse.....
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AFCO: Flight Control.... Prepare to undock and set course to Mars first, then on to Earth....
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO>: XO, aye, half impulse, after undocking.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the turbolift arriving to the Bridge:: Admiral: After you, Sir. All: Admiral on Deck!
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::stands::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::snaps to attention:: 
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
:: surprised an Admiral is on his bridge ::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> ::stands::
Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  As you were.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  I have some bad news for you all. We must return as quickly as possible to Deep Space 102.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
ADM: Admiral? What a surprise, I was expecting an Intelligence operatives of lower rank
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::receives a personal message from Rochester:: *CO*: Masters to bridge...
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
::looks at the Admiral::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Admiral: Admiral, back to the Station, sir?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AFCO: Flight - belay departure and impulse engagement..... Apparently, plans are changing
Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Indeed, Captain. Unfortunately, our intelligence operatives are... stretched thin at the moment. I was available. And I don't like sitting around while the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> XO: Aye, plotting a course back to DS102.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
ADM: Shouldn't we disembark the Romulans on Jupiter Station?
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*Bridge*: Engineering to Bridge...
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
*Engineering*: This is the Bridge.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CTO*: Stone, is the Captain busy? I need to ask him something urgent.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
SC: Yes, Captain. We have reason to believe that there are operatives on Deep Space-102 planning... mischief. That's all we know. Whatever is going to happen will happen in the next month, and I would like my senior crew there to handle it.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO: No, Captain. I will debrief them myself.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
*CEO*: Aye, he's speaking with Admiral Taylor, will the XO do?
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CTO*: Yes...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Admiral: I see. ::raises an eyebrow and nods::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
*CEO*: Hold one.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
XO: the CEO is on the comm for you.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CEO*: Yes Chief... What's up.....? ?
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*XO*: Commander, I need an emergency leave of absence. My mother sent me a message from Rochester. My father is gravely ill.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO/SC:  Time is of the essence, and we have a long way to go. All we know is that a large-scale Romulan action is covertly in the works, and that DS-102 is one of the focal points of that action.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> ::calculates::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Admiral: Sir, have you any extra information on those operatives? If you have identified them, we can order Station security to put them under surveillance right now.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CEO*: I'm sorry to hear that Chief..... Make the necessary arrangements, and we'll drop you off along the way.... or you can catch a shuttle from Titan Station.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
ADM: Admiral, more than a month has gone since we were in Romulan space and another will go before we get to DS-102, will we be in time to get anything useful done at DS-102?
Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO/SC:  It is possible that your "guests" will have information and names that we need to roll up that plan, or that they themselves are red herrings in an attempt at misinformation. Either way, I need to speak with them.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*XO*: I'll get off here.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CEO*: And Chief, make sure your assistant can handle things till you get back
Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO: That is our hope. One thing we know is that they are waiting for something... and that something isn't going to occur for 4 to 6 weeks.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO_Johnson: You're in charge of engineering while I'm gone. Make sure the ship and station are both in one piece. *XO*: Taken care of sir. ::exits engineering and heads for a gangway::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged Chief. Hope things improve....
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*XO*: Aye sir. I'll catch up with you guys once my father either gets better or...
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::crosses gangway onto Titan Station::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> CO I estimate we will arrive at DS-102 in 40 days at warp six, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::turns his attention to the events going on around him::
Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  I'd advise Warp 8.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> ::sets course to DS-102 at Warp 8 and waits for orders to undock and engage engines::
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
ADM: Admiral, our normal cruising speed is warp 7, we can get warp 8 only for a few days
Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  It's your ship, Captain. But every inch forward we get is better than none at all.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: notes course plot and speed needed to be set::
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO> :: waits::
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
AFCO: Get us undocked and set course for DS-102 with a stop to refuel midway and engage at warp 8.
CTO_Ens_Stone says:
<AFCO>: CO: Aye sir, preparing to undock and engage engines as soon as we’re clear.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
XO: Tell engineering to get all the staff to double duty to get the warp drive in the best shape, with continuous diagnostics
Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The Scorpius clears DOCK moorings, moves away from the station, and engages at Warp 8 for DS-102 and the unknown...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Skipper..... I'll head down there myself to relay the message
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
ADM: Meanwhile do you want to see your quarters, the Romulans or come to my ready room to discuss of our actions for the next few days?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::leaves the Bridge for Main Engineering:: Computer: Main Engineering
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Adm: If you allow me, I would like to join you in debriefing the defectors, sir.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
SC:  That would be welcome, Mister Marek. And the sooner the better...
