<<<<Resume Mission - "Calling All Angels - Part 2">>>>

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::in the Briefing Room waiting to start::

CSO_Syrna says:
::gets up from her station and starts walking into the briefing room with PADD in hand:: OPS: You coming?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: in engineering putting the final modifications on the drive system ::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks at the chronometer and sees everyone has 30 seconds::

OPS_D`von says:
::nods to Syrna and heads for the briefing room::

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::sits in the back far corner waiting for the meeting to start...hopes the auto-pilot isn't malfunctioning::

CTO_Vendal says:
::moves from the Bridge to BR1::

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods and walks in front of OPS::

AXO_Hunter says:
::enters the Briefing room::

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: Have you read the PADD the CTO gave you?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Takes a PADD into the briefing room::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::in engineering helping the CEO::

CTO_Vendal says:
::enters the BR1::

OPS_D`von says:
::takes a seat, and places his PADD on the table::

AXO_Hunter says:
::takes a seat near the ACO::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: I just glanced at it long enough to know it could wait.

CSO_Syrna says:
::sits down next to D'von::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::nods his apologies to the CEO:: CEO: We'll have to trick out the Grant another time

TO_Re`Volos says:
::heads to the BR::

AXO_Hunter says:
::Nods the ACO::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::knows time is an issue::  All: I will go ahead and start.  I believe we all know what has happened now I need from you are my options.  Let's start off with what you all know and then I will ask for opinions.

CEO_K`Vas says:
TO: Agreed this overdrive modification takes priority.  Q'pla ensign

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::nervous about being in the conference room with all the top brass of the ship::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: What have you found out?

TO_Re`Volos says:
::enters BR1::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Puts her attention on Hunter to see what he knows::

CSO_Syrna says:
::listens patiently and waits to ask the question she has::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: Is it possible for a sentient society form in an asteroid belt?

CTO_Vendal says:
::Hears a silence and speaks up:: ACO: I contacted the scientists on Det 3 and their only contribution was to ask for as much data on the rogue planet and to say they would listen for any further comms from the belt

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CTO::

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: Possible, yes, but it would require a breathable atmosphere either natural or "man-made"

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: For some reason I keep thinking about an old earth legend about Faerie peoples, Im thinking that it could be a race of rather diminutive people living deep inside the asteroid

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: And did SF comb the belt with a fine tooth comb after our discovery of a Romulan listening post?

CSO_Syrna says:
::gets a bit impatient:: ~~~OPS: What type of a transmission did you intercept? Radio? Light spectrum... etc?~~~

AXO_Hunter says:
ALL:: I know that sounds far fetched but its still a not impossible just improbable, another theory is that this could be a left over message from the last time the planet passed through the system

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: Not to my knowledge, no Starfleet has not done any scanning at all, with the personnel shortage they haven't had the resources

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: The planet is rogue... why would it have past through at an earlier time?

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: I hadn't had an opportunity too see if it was truly rogue or merely on a set path through the galaxy, like some comets.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods and turns to the CSO:: CSO: What have you found out?

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: The planet has been tracked by Federation Science. It is not posing a threat to any known civilizations. Warnings have gone out at the appropriate times and so forth to prevent accidents. It is traveling about a 1/2 light year.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: How long have they been tracking it?

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: It has been tracked over the course of the last 6 years and will take another 70 to pass out of the federation.

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: I had a question about the transmission... what type was it? ::looks at OPS::

OPS_D`von says:
::types a message to Syrna on a PADD and pushes it in front of her, that reads a crude subspace radio much like the federation had about 100 years ago::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns to D'von:: OPS:  OPS?

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow as she reads the PADD and lets him answer::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: The radio signal was a crude subspace radio much like the Federation had about 200 years ago, the signal isn't an echo that is just catching up with us, it was being funneled by conditions in space, kind of like atmospheric conditions on a planet would.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Where you able to determine if it was possible for that distress call to have been transmitted to us from some place closer than the Detweiller system?

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods at OPS as that answered her follow up question::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: that is why the signal was strongest on a set path, it was being channeled towards us,

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: So you are saying that it is 100% from the asteroid belt?

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrow:: Self: Fascinating....

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: I would say I am  pretty sure, not sure if I am  right, but I am still trying to figure out what could have channeled the signal like that,  much like the beam of a laser

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns to the TO:: TO: Have you scanned the area for chronometric particles?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: notices the warp core and manifold temperatures are rising:: EO Turner : Adjust the intermix ratio the manifolds are heating up

CEO_K`Vas says:
<EO Turner> CEO: Aye sir :: makes the adjustment ::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: Captain the warp core and manifolds are heating up, I suggest that if the modification is to be used it be done soon

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: How much time do you predict I have?

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: I proceeded directly here from Engineering and did not have time to scan. I can do so now, if you wish.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: Without activating the modification, we are on the standard protocol for operating above warp 9.6.  Twelve hours before severe damage

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods:: TO: Have one of your duty TO's to do so.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: What have you found out?

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am can I ask a question?

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Aye ma'am. ::comms one of the tactical powder monkeys on the brige and orders a scan for chronometric particles::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
ACO:  Not being a lawyer, it looks as if moving the rogue planet or destroying it would be legal since we know very little about it... even if we knew more we still wouldn't be "interfering with the healthy development of the culture"

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: Thank you.

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
ACO:  Not very healthy for the planet to destroy their culture.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::receives a comm from the bridge::  ACO: The tactical scan reports no chronometric particles in the Detweiller system ma'am.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::thinks that is at least a bit of good news... starts forming her opinions on what to do as she waits for the question from D'von::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: I wanted to know what exactly is keeping us from going over there?  Is it you don't want to break any SF regs, or you are worried you might destroy the ship by trying to get us there on time?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the TO::

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
ACO: The culture just can't see that we did anything.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: We are going there.  I just needed to be informed with all the information before making a judgment call.  All: Now are there any further questions or comments?

CTO_Vendal says:
::shakes his head::

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: So far scans on the point of the transmission has revealed nothing.... I am thinking that as we get closer, we will be able to tell what exactly is sending to us.

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: well I was wondering how are we going to keep those people from seeing us, they live on a asteroid, if they can see the rogue planet they will probably see us

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: A planet the size of earth is much larger than us.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to both::

TO_Re`Volos says:
All: We could hide in the sensor shadow behind the planet

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Well I know that, but what if we have to get closer to the asteroid, they will start to notice us is we get to close

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
OPS:  And that would break the prime directive

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: We will deal with that as we go.  *CEO*: You have a go in 3 minutes.

OPS_D`von says:
::shoots the CNS a look:: CNS: yes I know that, that is why I was asking how we were going to keep from doing that.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands::  All: Stations everyone.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: I Captain

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS/CNS: We do not even know if we can... ::stops as she hears Tarrez-Hunter and stands up::

CEO_K`Vas says:
All EOs: Attention!  The captain has ordered me to modify this vessel to make speeds beyond its normal specifications.  There is the danger that the ship may not withstand the stress and that some of you may be injured or killed. 

CEO_K`Vas says:
All EOs:  I have given my oath to the captain and crew of this vessel.  I realize that some of you do not understand this.  So any of you who feels that you cannot give everything, speak up now and I will relieve you of duty.  For no mistakes can be afforded if we are to succeed.  :: looks to see if anyone wants to be relieved, no one does::

Host Brett says:
Action: A signal comes in from Starbase 39-S.

CEO_K`Vas says:
All EOs: You are men of honor.  Gentlemen here are your assignments.

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks out of the briefing room, before OPS::

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::wanders out to the bridge and sits at  the flight console::

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Turner :Check intermix ratio and monitor the temperature in the intermix manifolds.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: Was there something else?  ::Exits behind her::

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Caveda: Monitor the power transfer conduits.  Make sure that the heat and pressure stay within tolerances of the conduit.  Make sure that the cooling system for the conduits is operating at optimum efficiency.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Reed: Monitor the temperature of the warp field coils.  With the increase in the warp field and the increase in plasma injection, the warp field coils may begin to heat up.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Torres: Make sure that the SIF generators have sufficient power and are operating at full ability.  If we lose the SIF or it drops in level, the Del is going to tear herself apart like the prototype of the USS Defiant did in her shakedown cruise.  So do not take your eyes off of that system

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: No... the answers to my questions will be revealed as we get closer.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Brisco: The deflector grid and the inertial dampening fields have both been increased.  You are responsible for monitoring theses systems

CEO_K`Vas says:
ALL EOs: Lastly you are to use the slave consoles away from the warp core containment area.  The only person to be in that area will be myself.  After I activate the modifications if they are stable you may return to ME.  If this fails the containment doors will close automatically and I will eject the core. 

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Send a message to  SF informing them of our course of action.

CEO_K`Vas says:
ALL EOs: You have your duties, take your stations.  Dismissed!

CEO_K`Vas says:
<All EOs> CEO: Aye sir.  :: salute and take their positions for  the acceleration ::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: walks over to the console in his office, looks through the window at the warp core :: *ACO*: Captain I am ready to engage the system, awaiting your command.

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives at her station::

OPS_D`von says:
::stands:: ACO: Aye, ma'am. If it means anything, I think we are doing the right thing, by trying to help these people

CTO_Vendal says:
::Moves out to the Tac Station on bridge:: TO: Go to Eng and coordinate any necessary actions we may need to take with them, I don’t want to chance messing up any of the modifications

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: Wait for my word.

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
::Walks onto the bridge and feels the tension rise among the crew after hearing the CEO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at her screen, hoping to see anything at the point of transmission::

TO_Re`Volos says:
CTO: Aye sir.  ::heads to Engineering::

OPS_D`von says:
<Duty OPS> ::sees the incoming message and listens to it::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: Aye will execute on your mark ma'am

CTO_Vendal says:
::Hand rests on the console, nervously tapping::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
All Department: Report when ready.

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::stands ready at the flight console:: XO: Flight is good to go, ma'am.

OPS_D`von says:
::walks over to his station, and relieves the duty ops, after being told what the message was about::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::enters Engineering and awaits orders from the Lt-jg.::

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: Weapons and shields at the ready, all security teams are equipped with general emergency gear::

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up at the FCO, and says out loud, but not so loud for anyone else to hear or at least he thinks:: With you flying I wouldn’t exactly say we are ready

AXO_Hunter says:
:;sits down at the XO’s seat::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Very good

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am I have just received word from Admiral Kiel, she has reviewed our plan and says the prime directive will not be broken as long as we make no contact what so ever with the civilization

CSO_Syrna says:
::shoots a look at D'von:: ~~~OPS: That was not very nice.~~~

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods at OPS and waits until everyone reports ready then contacts the CEO::  CEO: Now K'Vas

OPS_D`von says:
::types a message back to Syrna, who ever said I was nice. Smiles at her after he sent it::

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::doesn't hear OPS...is concentrating on the flight path::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Everything is go on my end

CSO_Syrna says:
::hears the beep and reads the message, almost sighs::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: Aye.  :: engages the overdrive ::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sends her love to Owyn in case this doesn't work like she hopes::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: monitors the drive system as the power increases ::

AXO_Hunter says:
::Looks over to Sy and smiles::

OPS_D`von says:
::keeps an eye on the power distribution, making sure the holodeck doesn’t shut down::

Host Brett says:
Action: The power output increases and the Delphyne's speed begins to slowly creep above the "redline".  The Warp core, already pulsing a high speed, begins to operate ever faster...105%...110%...115%.

Host Brett says:
Action: A low vibration begins in the deck plates.  Loose items all over the ship begin to rattle and vibrate off their shelves.

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::looks at the speed and feels the Del gather power:: All: Speed increasing....Warp Core output up to 115%...

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
::Decides standing isn't such a hot idea and takes the counselor's seat::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne's speed increases to Warp 9.7

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::grips the arms of her chair until her knuckles are white::

CSO_Syrna says:
::concentrates on the sensors which are almost down to nothing as the scope narrows as they increase speed::

AXO_Hunter says:
::looks over as the counselor takes what used to be his seat and frowns briefly::

FCO_Radioflyer says:
All: Speed is now Warp 9.7...

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Torres : Keep that SIF system on line, understood?

CEO_K`Vas says:
<EO Torres >CEO: I will do my best sir

CSO_Syrna says:
::notices her tea falling off her console before she can catch it, suppresses a groan of annoyance as her uniform is spilt on::

OPS_D`von says:
::sends a message to the ships crew letting them know what is going on, so he doesn’t get a million and one reports later on about how rough the ride is::

OPS_D`von says:
::almost laughs at Syrna when he sees her face as the tea hit her uniform::

Host Brett says:
Action: The core is now just a pulsing bright bluish light, illuminating all of Engineering.  The pulsing becomes a steady howl.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO/CEO: I am getting warning lights across the board about the SI and hull tolerances, we may be close to loosing SI:

Host Brett says:
Action: Warp 9.75

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: What is your thoughts... will SI hold?

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::watches the numbers creep up on the speedometer:: All: warp 9.75

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
::Rubs her temple as the emotional intensity rises along with the ship's speed::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne achieves Warp 9.8

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: The hull plating is exceeded tolerances

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: I need more power to divert to the systems captain

OPS_D`von says:
::starts breathing a bit harder, as he starts to get a little nervous.  Wants to do something about the harshness of the ride, but doesn’t even think about touching anything that might mess up and cause the ship to come into::

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::his voice rising a bit:: All: Warp 9.8....

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am we have an incoming message from Admiral Kiel, priority one

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Evacuate crew to designated shelters and divert life support to the SI.

CSO_Syrna says:
::hears the FCO, looks at D'von:: ~~~OPS: Ashau nash-veh tu.~~~

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Put it through

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
::Tries hard to shield the high psionic emotions::

OPS_D`von says:
::puts the message up on the main viewer::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*/FCO: Level us off there.

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to the viewer::

Host Brett says:
Action: The vibration is very noticeable now.  Any loose fittings on doors, consoles or decking rattles.  The noise inside the ship increases from it's almost perfect quiet to a loud rumble.

FCO_Radioflyer says:
XO: Aye ma'am. ::levels off the thrust to maintain this speed::

CTO_Vendal says:
::begins to be glad he does not have any breakables in his quarters::

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
::Suddenly thinks of Ziggy and visualizes him under the bed shaking::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: diverts additional power to the SIF and the cooling for  EPS conduit and intermix manifolds:: *ACO*: Aye leveling off at 9.8

Host Brett says:
Action: The main viewer reveals Admiral Kiel, sitting at her desk, looking a bit rattled.

FCO_Radioflyer says:
::sits back with a sigh of relief tat they made it this far::

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up at the main viewer, and wonders what the admiral wants now::

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> COMM: Del: ACO: Commander, have you heard from Captain T'Kar within the last twelve hours?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::heart drops::  COMM: Admiral: No ma'am.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: How is SI with the added power?

CNS_Jakiel_ says:
::Listens to the admiral and gets a bad feeling::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COMM: Admiral: What has happened?

OPS_D`von says:
::turns to Syrna, still not used to her popping into his head. He just smiles softly at her::

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> ::Looks at the bridge on her viewscreen::  COMM: Del: ACO: Is everything alright there?

CTO_Vendal says:
::rechecks the SI field::

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees him smile at her, as all attention is on the viewscreen, she softly smiles back::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::Continues to stand in Engineering, in case K'Vas needs any help, but mostly tries not to get in his way or touch any buttons or panels::

CEO_K`Vas says:
All EOs:  We made it to this point gentlemen, now all we have to do is keep this ship together for another 12 hours

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COMM: Admiral: If you would check with HQ you will know what is going on here... we have our hands a bit full at the moment.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: Levels are holding

OPS_D`von says:
::looks at the Captain and can't believe she just said that, the admiral already replied to the message he sent to HQ and he told the commander she said it was okay as long as no contact was made::

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: I would not suggest keeping us here too long, but we are not getting any worse

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: Captain the ship is holding at this point, but how long it does is up to the ship.  :: monitors systems ::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::breaths a breath of relief::  COMM: Admiral:  Looks like everything is okay for the time.  Now what were you talking about?

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> COMM: Del: ACO: I know your situation commander.  I'm afraid I have some bad news.  Bear in mind, this does not effect your current mission, you are to continue.  Is that understood?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COMM: Admiral:  Aye ma'am.

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> COMM: Del: ACO: I'm afraid Captain T'Kar is missing.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host Brett says:
<<<<Resume>>>>

Host Brett says:
INFO: K'Beth awakens, lying on a cot or pallet.  She is in a small room with an odd, but familiar design.  It appears to be a type of living quarters.  A door is visible nearby and an open doorway is also seen in one wall of the room.

Host Brett says:
INFO: The floor is carpeted, there are several potted plants around the room as well as two plain chairs.  It resembles an ensign's room on a Starship.

Host K`Beth says:
::swings her legs around and sits groggily up on the side of the cot shaking her head to clear it.  Looks around trying to remember how she got there. Hits at her comm badge but finds that it is missing.  Goes to stand but her head swirls and sits back down with a grunt before trying again and succeeding this time::

Host K`Beth says:
::looks around the floor by the cot for her comm badge and through the blankets and then curses quietly as it can't be found::

Host Brett says:
Action: The door slides open with a hiss and two figures walk in.  One is Modex, the other is Tellus, the Romulan Intelligence officer from the meeting.

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: ::Smiles::  Good, you are awake.  First, allow me to apologize.

Host K`Beth says:
::turns around and straightens up pulling her uniform jacket straight:: Modex: For drugging and kidnapping me?  It's going to take a lot more than an apology, Captain.  What is this about?

Host Modex says:
I understand.  Please sit and I will try to explain.  Water?

Host K`Beth says:
::nods but remains standing::

Host Modex says:
::Motions to Tellus who walks through the open doorway and returns moments later with a glass of water which he hands to her.::

Host K`Beth says:
::takes it with a barest of a nod of thanks and drinks it slowly...letting it moisten her parched mouth.  Turns to Modex with an expression of waiting::

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: Again, I apologize for your method of transport, but it was the only way to remove you from the Starbase without the knowledge of Starfleet.  Ironically, I realize, that would be considered kidnapping.

Host Modex says:
K’Beth: However, it was done for your own safety.  It seems that Starfleet intelligence is on to you.

Host K`Beth says:
::looks at him like he's crazy:: Modex: On to me for what?

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: Well, as you are aware, your many encounters with our people have made you suspect in the eyes of certain...zealots, in their intelligence community.  When you mentioned my name specifically for this mission of yours, that was all the proof they needed that you and I had a...'relationship'.

Host K`Beth says:
::blinks:: Modex: You lost me...a 'relationship'?  Modex, you and I both know that they know every word of all of our conversations. ::looks over at Tellus before turning back to Modex:: I thank you for your concern...but you had better take me back now.  No one would have missed me yet so no one need ever know this happened.

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: Hmm, I see I have not made things clear.  You see, we did smuggle you off of the Starbase, but we did not, in fact, drug you.  Commander Doleo did that, in prelude to your interrogation.  We intercepted you and brought you here instead.

Host K`Beth says:
Modex: Doleo drugged me? ::looks straight at him keenly trying to fathom if he is telling the truth or not::

Host Modex says:
::Returns her look with a sincere smile::  K'Beth: It should hardly surprise you my dear, after all, you have done nothing since your arrival in the sector but make him look the fool.  You have found Romulan spies and agents at every turn, right under his nose.  Is it any wonder he thinks you are involved somehow?  

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: As I said, you have done well in your role here, but you will prove of no further use in your present capacity.  We will take you to safety and ready you for your next assignment. ::Again smiles reassuringly.::

Host K`Beth says:
::sits down...her mind racing as her thoughts whirled. Thinks to herself:: Self: He thinks I'm a Romulan spy? ::glances quickly over to Tellus:: But Tellus would know I'm not....what the hell is going on here? 

Host K`Beth says:
::trying to stall for time she holds out her glass:: Tellus: Could I get another drink please?  I'm still thirsty from whatever Doleo used on me.

Host Modex says:
Action: Tellus, looking annoyed, takes the glass and walks off to the other room.

Host K`Beth says:
::looks up at Modex:: Modex: So how did you find out about me?

Host Modex says:
::Blinks and then stands, walking around the small room::  I was told about you when this "rescue" mission was brought to my attention.  This was the reason Tellus was so against your going, he felt it would cast too much light on your activities.  And, rightly so as it turns out.

Host Modex says:
Action: Tellus returns from the other room and hands her the glass, looking sullen::

Host K`Beth says:
Modex: Ah...Tellus told you about all of this. ::takes the glass from him:: Tellus: It's lucky you had found out what Doleo was doing.  I'm curious though...how did you find that out?  Starfleet Intelligence is usually pretty quiet in the presence of Romulans.

Host Modex says:
<Tellus> ::Clears his throat::  Well, as to that, we were hoping you could tell us which of our agents have been compromised.  Obviously your activates made you suspect, no one could have so many successes against the Romulans without some "help", but Doleo must have been tipped off somehow.

Host K`Beth says:
::shrugs:: Tellus: No...sorry.  I don't have the foggiest idea which one or even if one of them had been compromised. ::her mind racing trying to figure out what is really going on::

Host K`Beth says:
::drinks half of the water and sits there idly toying with the half-empty glass::

Host Modex says:
Action: The two Romulans look at each other, then at K'Beth expectantly.

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: Relax, take your time.  If you'd like I can have food brought o you, I am sure it will return to your memory soon.

Host K`Beth says:
::nods:: Modex: That must be it...the drugs. ::finishes her water and places the glass on the small table by her and returns their looks with a half grin all the while trying to figure out how to get back home.  Looks around the room:: Where are we?

Host Modex says:
Action: Tellus sighs and paces.

Host K`Beth says:
::watches Tellus go back and forth and then looks over at Modex keeping a pleasant but expectant expression on her face::

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: Aboard Tellus' ship.  As you may guess, we haven't a lot of time.  I will arrange to have food and drink brought to you but you must tell us all you can about our agents, and any parts of your assignment left undone.

Host K`Beth says:
::rubs her temple and winces:: Modex: I must be having some sort of reaction to the drug...I'm still pretty fuzzy.  But I don't think I was supposed to leave the Delphyne just yet...maybe I better get back before the entire operation is blown.  What can Doleo do?  He has no proof and Starfleet won't allow him to torture one of their captains or even continue an interrogation without concrete evidence.

Host Modex says:
<Tellus> Modex: ::Sounding irritated::  I told you she would not cooperate, she is stalling!

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: ::Glances at Tellus with a stern look then looks back at K'Beth with compassion::  No, no, I am sure she is right.  The drugs have addled her mind.  She will tell us what we need to know, so that others may be saved before they are discovered.

Host K`Beth says:
::looks up at Tellus:: Tellus: Modex is correct...I'd tell you if I knew but I can't remember anything right now.

Host Modex says:
<Tellus> ::Makes a sound of irritation and stalks off across the room::

Host Modex says:
K'Beth:  It is alright.  Rest for a bit, eat and drink, then we'll talk again.  ::Smiles and stands, motioning Tellus to follow him to the door.::

Host K`Beth says:
Modex: Have we already left the Starbase?

Host Modex says:
::Pauses at the door, allows Tellus to exit::  K'Beth: No.  Any rapid departure would be very conspicuous.  Rest now.  ::Exits the room and the door slides shut.::

Host K`Beth says:
::her eyes light with hope at that news and she stands up and carefully looks around the room taking in all of the furnishings and furniture seemingly casually searching for anything that looked like a recording device.:: 

Host K`Beth says:
::walks into the other room assuming it's the bathroom rubbing her temple and stands at the threshold looking around and then turns and looks back at the room from that angle::

Host K`Beth says:
::leans against the door jamb still rubbing her head and glances up sideways at the tiny cameras located in each upper corner of the main room and then turns back to the replicator to see it only provides snacks and drinks. Curses silently:: Self: Not even a damn window. ::starts to check the replicator for the access panel::

Host Modex says:
Action: The door opens and a Romulan pushes a small cart into the room.  Outside, a narrow corridor is seen as well as at least two other Romulans.  The "Steward" leaves the cart in the center of the room and backs toward the door.

Host K`Beth says:
::turns to the Steward:: Steward: Wait a minute..!

Host Modex says:
Action: The man exits the room and the door slides shut in K'Beth's face.::

Host K`Beth says:
::follows him and then bangs her fist on the door as it shuts:: Damn!  ::turns around and looks directly up at the cameras:: I need to talk to Modex.   There's something in my quarters that I need.  Tell Modex I need to see him.

Host Modex says:
Action: A few minutes later, the door opens again and Modex enters followed by Tellus.

Host Modex says:
K'Beth: ::Smiling::  Ah, the food arrived, excellent.  I apologize for the monitoring devices, we were concerned for your safety, in case you had a reaction to the drugs.  What did you wish to tell me?

Host K`Beth says:
::turns from the cart where she was just about to lift up the cover on the dishes and gives a grin:: Modex: Good...I just remembered that I had an encoded PADD that I brought from the Delphyne with me.  The answers you need are in there.

Host Modex says:
<Tellus> ::Looks at Modex, growing excited::  K'Beth: Where is it?  Your quarters on the Starbase?

Host K`Beth says:
::looks disgusted at him:: Tellus: And let Starfleet security find it while I was in negotiations?  What kind of idiot do you take me for?

Host Modex says:
<Tellus> K'Beth: So where...is...it?

Host Modex says:
::Samples a bite of the food and waits::

Host K`Beth says:
Tellus: A safety deposit box...the access key is in my quarters on the Starbase.

Host Modex says:
::Smiles at K'Beth::  Tellus: There, you see?  K'Beth: Very good, please eat while we make arrangements to recover this code and your PADD.

Host Modex says:
<Tellus> ::Narrows his eyes with suspicion::

Host K`Beth says:
::picks up a cracker looking thing and takes a bite, nodding:: Modex:: I'll need to get that comm badge back...otherwise it will look suspicious if I walk around without it.

Host Modex says:
::Sighs and looks at the floor::

Host Modex says:
<Tellus>  ::Nods and scowls::  Modex: I told you.

Host Modex says:
<Tellus> ::Removes a small device from his pocket and aims it at K'Beth::  All: Now we'll do this my way.  ::Shoots K'Beth in the chest.::

Host Modex says:
Action: K'Beth feels pain, and her body falls to the deck, spilling the contents of the food cart.  As darkness closes over her again, she sees a very satisfied look on Tellus' face.

Host Modex says:
