Deep Space 102 - 10908.07

Federation Lampoon's Galactic Vacation

"Undercover Operations"

Host Gerry says:
Previously on DS102:

The crew of Deep Space 102 were assembling an undercover team that was about to depart Wonderspace to take the place of a slave trader and see what they could discover about the Obsidian Order's involvement. They had managed to borrow the Griswald's repaired shuttle for the mission. They are about to depart... 

Let's see what happens next.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::enters the Main Shuttle Bay and looks for both the Griswald's shuttle and the crew that's about to use it for their plan::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::In the main Shuttlebay, finishing up the final modifications to the shuttle hull::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::putting on his "smuggler" outfit::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::sees the CTO:: CTO: Commander Ryan, how are those modifications coming and please remain to brief the crew on them.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::in the Shuttlebay tying a sash around her hair::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up:: XO: Almost there, Commander.... just a few... ::Bashes the hull with some heavy, odd looking tool::...
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::finishes updating L'va and Taray so that they'll understand what is going on::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::struggling with a belt that won't fit around his waist:: Self:: Well, I think I must pay a visit to the Gym ... ::raises an eyebrow::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Were you able to outfit us with some micro-weapons?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Captain Marek took care of the weapons, Sir, leaving me free to do.... this! ::Steps back and motions to the hull with her free hand:: Voila!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Vundebar Commander..... Looks pretty authentic to me, considering my limited knowledge on piracy....
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::returns to Shuttle Bay::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: In shuttle bay, standing deep into his thoughts ::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wonders if he should have grabbed that eye patch and the fake parrot::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Turns to face the XO:: XO: Thank you, Sir. ::Drops the heavy tool onto the cart and grabs a rag to wipe her hands::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::glances over at her brother:: FCO: You ready?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Glances of at his sister.:: CSO: Hmm?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/CTO: Admiring the CTO piece of art? She did a great job with that hull.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: How are we fixed up for weaponry and defenses, Sir?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::waves her paw in front of his face:: FCO: Who is she?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: CSO: Who's who?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::motions for the two officers to come with her and moves to join the others::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::giggles:: FCO: You're daydreaming again. She must be pretty.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CSO: Well, of course. ::Smirks.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Well, everything was checked and double-checked. Several systems were upgraded as far as it was possible, but I would say it is a rival for a Cardassian ship. Anyway, it was refitted with some weaponry from an actual shuttle, concealed as propulsion engines. If we need to run, they will cover our back. Let me show us. ::hands the XO a PADD with the modifications::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Motions the engineering team over to her position as they exit the shuttle::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
ALL: So everyone ready to board?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Nevertheless, I wouldn't start a fight if it is not absolutely necessary. Remember we flying a piece of history... a very damaged one.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::looks up at the CO: Ye sir?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Engineers> ::Head over to the CTO's position:: CTO: All modifications have been completed, Commander. She's ready to roll... err... fly, Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: takes a look at the PADD and nods :: SC: Okay, that's probably all we're going to be able to do, though your confidence in being a rival to a Cardassian warship seems a bit optimistic... I don't think we'll try to test that premise today.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
Engineers: Very good. Thank you. You and your team head back to main engineering. I believe we're going to need all the power we can get so be ready. ::Nods::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Well, Commander, is like to go to a gun fight with a knife, something you really need luck to be on your side... ::raises an eyebrow:: But we need to be confident, otherwise this mission will fail before start.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AT: Okay everyone, on the floor. I want Commander Ryan to give us all a rundown on what she's done, and then we'll have Captain Marek tell us his part
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::still feeling the belt real tight::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks at the XO and waits for the away team to gather around::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Engineers> ::Exits the shuttle bay::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::trots over to the CTO::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Follows his sister.::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks at the away team dressed in their smuggler outfits and smiles:: All: You all look like you're ready to go trick or treating.... Okay, here's the rundown... as you can see the hull has been modified considerably. I tried to make it look as though it has seen a lot of small skirmishes. Thanks to our engineering team the engines won't be identifiable as a Federation shuttle. Everything Starfleet that was inside the shuttle has been removed and replaced with ordinary, run of the mill supplies.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::listens to the CTO::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CTO: Wait...  so no candy then? CSO: You promised! ::Elbow nudge.::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
All: As for the weapons... I gave Captain Marek a list of modifications and he's completed them... ::turns to the Captain:: SC: Sir...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: ::nods::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very well, as you may already know, this equipment was very old, so it was done the best effort to upgrade the navigational and weaponry system to our actual standards.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: Shuush.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: The regular shuttle armament was adapted to fit in this... err...  vessel, concealed as a part of the propulsion systems. You are familiarized with its operation, so that won't be a problem.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Anyway, this will be only enough to present a decent defense if it is necessary, remember we need to avoid starting a direct fight with a Cardassian ship. That will be certainly not a logical a wise decision.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Steps in:: All: I will remain on the Scorpius to monitor the situation and assist when necessary. Please keep an open comm on secure channel 16 Beta.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods slightly, trying to keep her mind clear and what she, L'va and Taray need to do::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Any questions?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::shakes her head:: SC: No Sir ::tugs slightly on her wrap::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
All: Oh and one last thing... don't eat any candy that isn't wrapped and sealed. ::Looks at the XO:: XO: Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: As Commander Mitchell is commanding this mission, it will be up to him to assign any special task.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Commander?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AT: Okay people, let's pack it in, and get underway...
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods and moves toward the shuttle::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Moves to the driver's seat and prepares the shuttle.::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AT: Anyone have any questions on their assignments for this mission? Ask now or read your PADD's...
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::hops into the shuttle and finds a seat::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Watches as the Away Team enters the shuttle then turns and exits the shuttle bay, headed for the Bridge::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::takes a seat and gets ready for departure::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: heads towards the co-pilot's seat aboard the shuttle, after the FCO enters::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks to the XO.:: XO: Ready for a wild ride? ::Winks.::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: As soon as we're buttoned up, let's head out.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge! ::Dusts off her uniform with her hands::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Aye.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Finishes last minute checks and warms up the engines.::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Bridge: Bridge, Shuttle ready for departure. Are we clear for leaving the Bay?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Bridge> *XO*: Sir, you are clear for departure. Good luck.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks back.:: All: Everyone buckled up? Pukey bags ready?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::feels something in his pocket once seated and reaches for it::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::settles into the cargo section of the shuttle::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the bridge and moves to tactical::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in a seat in the shuttle, thinking ::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Bridge: Roger that, Shuttle out. FCO: Take her out Ensign
Host Gerry says:
ACTION: the shuttle departs the Scorpius Shuttlebay
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
@::looks out the window::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
@::Turns back around.:: XO: Quiet bunch... Aye, sir. ::Begins departure procedures and steers the shuttle out of the shuttle bay.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::still feeling a little uncomfortable in this smuggler attire... too many years using Starfleet uniforms, perhaps::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Sets up secure comm channel 16 Beta and adjusts the sensors::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Tests the comm channel:: *Shuttle*: Commander Ryan testing this channel, please respond.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CTO*: Testing comm channel 16 Beta.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*SC*: Coming in loud and clear, Captain. Good luck.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CTO*: Roger that, CTO. Thanks. Marek out.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
@::pulls out he object in his pocket and realizes, he didn't leave the patch behind and chuckles to himself::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
@XO: 20 minutes, sir.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Wonders why everyone is so quiet....::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::talks with L'va and Taray about the mission, reminding them that once contact is made they are to only communicate telepathically and then too, only in images::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
@CSO: Hey, sis. Did you bring my undercover, I’m-not-here music?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
@FCO: Huh?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
@::reaches over to the side compartment to see if his little decoration was still aboard, finds them and pulls them out of the compartment::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
@CSO: Never mind... I was kidding...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
@::hangs the two purple fuzzy dice up on the clip between the pilot and co-pilot's chair::  FCO: There, what do you think of that? ::turns toward the FCO after quickly pulling the eye patch on::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
@::Looks at the XO and blinks a few times.:: XO: Very... thematic, sir. Arrr!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up from the console:: Relief FCO: Plot a course to intercept the shuttle and the Cardassian warships then stand by to break orbit at a moments notice.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
@::chuckles:: FCO: Okay, make a slight course correction here. We don't want the Cardassians thinking we're Federation or Starfleet pilots here.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
@XO: Are you saying I'm too good? ::Winks, then makes the course correction.::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Relief FCO> CTO: Aye, Commander. ::Taps the helm console and plots an intercept course:: Course plotted and laid in, standing by.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
@::nods and turns to the rest of the crew:: AT: Sensors?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::sits in the back with the other telepaths and talks softly with them::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*Main Engineering*: Ryan to engineering.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Main Engineering> *CTO*: Go ahead, Commander.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@XO: Cardassian ships are still on their previous position. Nothing out of the ordinary on sensors, XO.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
@XO: Hmm? Nothing so far.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*Main Engineering*: I want you to be ready to divert all available power to defensive and offensive systems when I give the order.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Main Engineering> *CTO*: We'll be ready, Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
@SC: Okay, keep an eye or two on them and call out if something changes.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.
