Host CO_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge signing another PADD::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: in engineering monitoring the warp drive ::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::standing in front of the mirror in his quarters making sure there's nothing to gig him on re: his uniform.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hands the PADD back to the Yeoman and looks around the bridge:: FCO: Status report, Commander.

FCO_Harm says:
::Sitting at the flight control console, making minor necessary but routine course adjustments to keep them on there patrol route::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::rides the turbolift up to corner...approach...the FCO about his counseling session.  Puts on her best smile as she steps onto the bridge::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Satisfied, he turns, exits his quarters, and take the TL to the bridge::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::in Engineering, looking over the phase emitter tech::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::walks over to the captain and stands waiting to have a word with her, clasping her hands behind her back::

FCO_Harm says:
CO: All systems report green, no problems indicated, normal commercial traffic

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks over at the waiting CNS:: CNS: Yes Counsellor?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::exits the TL, and glances around the bridge. His heart still jumps a beat to think he's on a real-live-starship bridge...not some simulation::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  Ma'am.  I believe I was given instructions to conduct a friendly chat with the new arrivals.  Would the FCO be needed at the moment on the bridge?

TO_Re`Volos says:
::sighs in frustration, tossing the PADD down on the table::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Notices the CNS speaking with the CO. Decides to wait at the back of the bridge trying to stay out of everyone's way.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::shakes her head:: CNS: No, Lt.  He can be relieved for an hour.

FCO_Harm says:
CO: Captain we are picking up a distress call ::pauses:: its just inside the neutral zone

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Observes the well oiled workings of a professional starship bridge crew, and makes mental notes::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CNS: Sorry Counsellor...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: On screen.

FCO_Harm says:
::Plots course in anticipation of the CO's orders::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO* : Captain I regret to inform you that I have been unable to modify the ships systems to make detecting changelings more expedient, none that do not harm other life forms on the ship.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::frustrated:: CEO: How do you keep all this straight in your head? Chips and circuits and particles, it makes my brain hurt. Give me a bat'leth and a flesh and blood opponent any time, just keep the science away from me.

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  Not a problem.  ::turns to look at the view screen also::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Understood Lt.  Thank you.

FCO_Harm says:
::Pulls up the image of two ships in combat::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Steps up to the rail, and rest his hands on it observing.::

FCO_Harm says:
CO: They are heading for Federation Space

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*TO*: Lt...report to the bridge.

CEO_K`Vas says:
TO: You lack focus chadiche.  Focus is necessary whether a warrior does battle with technology or with a D'Tagh

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CO*: Aye, aye Captain.

FCO_Harm says:
CO: We are being hailed Captain

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: On screen, Cmdr.

FCO_Harm says:
::pulls up the hailing ships signal on the screen::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Eyes go wide, and he skitters to one side. ::Self: Somehow I doubt it would look real good for the Captain of one of those ships to see a Cadet on the bridge::

Host Sy says:
Action: On the screen appears to be a middle-aged humanoid male that is so engrossed with what seems to be flying the ship that he doesn't even have time to look up at the screen.

Host Sy says:
COM: Del: Help us!  We are under attacked by pirates.  ::sounds and looks desperate::  Please, oh please, I have a ship full of children onboard.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::glances at the cadet, then back at the view screen surprised to see what is taking place::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns to the CIV quietly:: CIV: Get on the long range sensors and find out all you can about the two ships.

TO_Re`Volos says:
CEO: Understood. I'd prefer throwing the technology at the head of my opponent, but I respect that others are well suited for the task. ::snaps a quick salute and heads to the bridge::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Aye Captain ::Stage whispered::

FCO_Harm says:
CO: Intercept course is plotted and awaiting your orders Ma'am

CEO_K`Vas says:
::salutes :: TO: Q'apla

CNS_Jakiel says:
Self:  oh, no....not children.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::arrives on the bridge and takes his place at the Tac Station:

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Looks around and sees that SCI is on the other side of the bridge. Scoots around in front of the flight console hunkered over trying not to show up on the visual communications.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
COM: Unknown Man: This is the USS Delphyne. ::nods to the FCO to engage towards the ship:: We are on the way.  Identify yourself.

Host Sy says:
Action: The distressed ship is hit hard by one of the pirate's weapons and it knocks communications out as it crosses over into Federation space.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Sits down at SCI and runs a sensor sweep of the two vessels.::

Host Sy says:
Action: The attacking vessel, which is no match for the Delphyne, races off back into the NZ having never entered Federation space.

FCO_Harm says:
::Engages the new course correction:: CO: They are entering Federation Space now

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::curses:: FCO: Cut the channel.  ETA to the ship?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Captain, scans show the pirate ship has an unorthodox variety of weapons. Ranging anywhere from phasers to disruptors.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::watches anxiously as the view is taken away after the hit and 'reaches' hoping the ship's occupants are alright::

FCO_Harm says:
::Cuts communication:: CO: 2 minutes to intercept

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CNS: Counsellor, I'll need you to get down to sickbay and have them prepare for casualties.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::runs a scan of the other ship for life signs, systems status and hull integrity::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CIV: Status of the ship?

TO_Re`Volos says:
::runs a scan of the ship in distress:: CO: Their ship is badly damaged Captain. It's barely able to fly.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Scanning.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Lt...prepare an away team.  You may be needed for repairs to a damaged ship.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Thank you, Lt.  How is life support on the ship?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: Aye captain

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Captain. 30 life signs. One adult and 29 children ranging from 6 to 15. All with minor to moderate injuries.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::grits her teeth with the TO's report as the doors of the turbolift close::  TL:  Sickbay, please.

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: Captain I'm reading massive power fluctuations. They’re losing most of their core systems to overload. Warp drive, shields, weapons, life support, it's all failing.

FCO_Harm says:
::Wonders to himself, what would pirates want with children::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Can we transport them off of the ship?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: turns to his engineers :: Reed/Dawson/Caveda: Prepare for an away team, prepare your equipment.

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: Affirmative Captain

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Bring us as close as you can but be prepared to warp out if their core explodes.

CEO_K`Vas says:
<EO Reed> CEO: Sir any special equipment required?

CNS_Jakiel says:
*Dr Tristan*:  Please prepare for incoming casualties.  Humans I believe and children.  Recall two of the nurses and Dr Inez.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: As soon as we are in range transport all of the occupants to sickbay.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
All: Life form scans are inconclusive. All I can say is that they're 'humanoid'.

FCO_Harm says:
CO: Understood, ::Comes along side, but keeps the engines hot in case they have to jump to warp::

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Reed: Unknown.  Bring standard tool compliments.  Have EO Turner transport over anything additional you require

TO_Re`Volos says:
::locks on to the life signs on the damaged vessel and prepares for transport::

CNS_Jakiel says:
<Tristan> *CNS*:  Yes, ma'am.  Do you know how many are onboard?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Scan the damaged ship and see if it is salvageable.

CEO_K`Vas says:
<EO Reed> CEO: Aye sir :: walks to the equipment lockers, motions for Dawson and Caveda to come with him::

CNS_Jakiel says:
*Tristan*:  Good question.  *OPS*:  Could you tell me the number of those onboard the vessel under attack and their species?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CNS*: The children are being transported to sickbay.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: Yes Captain.  :: begins scanning ship systems and hull integrity of damaged ship ::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CNS: ::overhears:: There are 30 humanoid life signs aboard. One adult, the rest children. All injured.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Begin transport.

FCO_Harm says:
::While he has a moment, checks the vector the pirates left in to see if he can determine where they might be going::

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CO*:  Affirmative, captain.  Sickbay is being prepared.  ::strides down the hallway, picking up her step::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Sends a copy of the limited scan data to Medical::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: finishes his scans:: *CO*: Captain my analysis of the ship is that it badly damaged.  Repairs can be made.  I estimate 2 days time to make the ship worthy of the voyage to a repair facility.  All systems are effected and hull integrity has failed in many places

FCO_Harm says:
::Mutters to himself something about cursed cloaking devices::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::begins scans for an ion trail or space particle distortion::

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: Aye, aye Captain.  ::transports the passengers of the ship directly to Sickbay::

Host Sy says:
Action: Transport occurs with no incident

CNS_Jakiel says:
::enters sickbay amid the kriss kross of the staff as they tend to the influx of wounded children, sobs can be heard, but she immediately notices strangely how 'quiet' it is around them::

CNS_Jakiel says:
Tristan:  Report?  ::takes the dermal regenerator from one of the nurses and starts work on a scrape, the child clutches her other arm, obviously frightened.  She smiles and looks down at the child::  Child:  This won't hurt a bit.

FCO_Harm says:
CO: I was unable to get any useful trajectory readings from the pirates, they cloaked shortly after they broke off pursuit

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stands up:: TO: Scan for any other vessels within the area...and take us to yellow alert.

Host Sy says:
Action: Once in sickbay the children begin to talk shyly but openly with the medical staff about what is ailing them.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::activates Yellow Alert and scans the surrounding area:: CO: Nothing on the sensors Captain.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Lt.  Can the vessel be towed with a tractor beam?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Scans the ship looking for any indication of registry or origin? Transponders, hull marking, etc.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: That seems to be their style.  Plot a course to the nearest Federation facility and inform Starbase 39 of the situation.  Hold here until the status of the ship is verified.

CNS_Jakiel says:
<Tristan> CNS:  Seems to be minor ailments...mostly cuts and bruises.  ::Ariel nods in affirmation, then pats the child and gently tries to pull her hand off, but the girl only reaches to cling her neck with both arms.  She picks her up and moves to the next one, glancing at the vitals board::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CIV: Find out what you can about that ship.  I want to know who it belongs to and what it is doing out here with a ship full of children.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: Yes captain it can be towed.  But with the reduced SIF our speed would be greatly reduced.  I would recommend evacuation the vessel before towing.  Also towing it would put the ship at a tactical disadvantage

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Captain. Unfortunately, she's so badly damaged that I can't find any kind of markers or identification on her.

FCO_Harm says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am ::pauses:: Ma'am pirates going after children, doesn't seem to be there style  maybe there is more over there then meets the eye.

Host MicLike says:
CNS:  Thank you all for coming to our aid

CNS_Jakiel says:
::one of the older girls moves next to the counselor and taps her on the arm, motioning to take the child, explaining a little of what was going on.  Ariel leans towards her and shifts the clutching child to the older girl::  Girl:  I see.  And you are alright?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Understood Lt.  See what you need to keep the SIF on the ship together as we tow it.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO/FCO: Or...one of the children had some value to them?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CIV: Understood cadet.   Just do what you can.

Host MicLike says:
::has moved to stand beside the counselor::

FCO_Harm says:
::Plots a course in for the nearest federation outpost, and sends a message back to SB-39S::

Host MicLike says:
::also has scrapes and bruises but keeps motioning for the nurses to look after the children first::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::heads to the TL:: FCO: Commander...place a tractor beam on the ship...but keep an eye on the warp core.  If anything goes wrong drop the ship and warp out of here maximum warp. I'll be in sickbay...you have the conn.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Narrows his scan looking for anything of interest or out of the ordinary on the ship.::

CNS_Jakiel says:
MicLike:  It was a very good thing we were in this part of space. Why were they attacking you like that?

FCO_Harm says:
CIV: Possible ::Thinks of his own apparent value to a select group of pirates even as a child, and still he wonders why::

Host MicLike says:
CNS: The children are orphans of a civil war on their home planet and I was charged by a priest on their planet to relocate them to a refugee camp that had been set up on a nearby planet. 

FCO_Harm says:
CO: Aye, Aye, Ma'am

CNS_Jakiel says:
::feels just the smallest bit uneasy that she has no 'sense' of these humanoids::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::enters the TL and rides it down to sickbay::

Host MicLike says:
During the relocation effort, those pirates began to attack us.  They thought that I was a weapons dealer that was just using the kids as a disguise.  I was forced to move into the NZ to play hide and go seek in a nearby star system

FCO_Harm says:
::Activates the tractor beam, and begins the process of towing the ship::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: Captain I estimate that within 3 hours engineering can bypass enough power for the SFI generator and weld in supports to allow greater speed

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::steps off the TL and walks to sickbay.  Enters and looks around:: *CEO*: Is the SIF secure and life support secure enough for an away team?

FCO_Harm says:
CIV: Scan that vessel for anything that might have been the target of the attack, other then the children

CNS_Jakiel says:
::starts to heal a bruise on a little boy that is stoically trying to pull away, telling her he's just fine.  Ariel, however, keeps her hold on the tough little guy::  MicLike:  Didn't their scanners work?  I'm sorry to hear that.  They sound as if they've been through enough.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
FCO: Aye sir. Already on it. ::continues his narrow scan, moving it about the ship looking for any cargo, interesting equipment, unusual elements, etc.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::watches the children being tended to before slowly making her way towards the CNS and the one adult that was rescued::

FCO_Harm says:
::Has the feeling deep in the pit of his stomach that something is not right, something just doesn't add up.  Doesn't even realize the ease at which he assumed the conn, and how much he really misses it::

Host MicLike says:
::nods:: CNS: Yes they have.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: The SFI seems to be holding for the moment, but my engineers and I will have to wear EVA suits.  Life-support is completely off line.  We can be ready to transport in 5 minutes

CNS_Jakiel says:
::finishes with little boy and winks at him:: Boy:  There you go, big shot.  You're as good as new.  ::the little boy crosses his arms and sighs::  <Boy> CNS:  I was just fine before.

CNS_Jakiel says:
MicLike:  And how did they end up in a refugee camp to begin with?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Make it so.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
FCO: ::sighs, and pushes himself away from his console. Half turns:: Sir...nothing unusual showing up on scans. I'm no Science officer...but I was pretty thorough.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: Aye captain

CNS_Jakiel says:
MicLike:  Sorry, I mean what was the civil war about?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CIV*:  Cadet...the CEO and an away team will be transporting to the damaged ship.  Keep a constant lock on them and be ready to pull them out at a moment's notice.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
*CO*  Aye Captain. Will do.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Reed/ Dawson/ Caveda : You heard our captain get your EVA suits on, your equipment, and transport enhancers.  I want you on the transport pad in under 4 minutes.  Now disappear.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Widens his scan to encompass the entire ship, and patches the feed into the transporter pattern system.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks up and stops by the CNS and MicLike:: MicLike: Welcome aboard.  I'm Captain K'Beth T'Kar. Can you tell me what happened?

FCO_Harm says:
CIV: Your doing just fine Cadet.  ::wishes he could offer something more, but realizes that the Cadet will have to find confidence within himself as well as from outside of himself::

Host MicLike says:
::looks at the CO as he just realized that she was behind him::  CNS: I am not exactly sure.  I was just delivering some supplies to a colony there when the priest approached me about the children.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::ruffles the boy's hair, who just humphs even more, but almost smiles back.  Moves on to the next patient and then notices the captain::

CEO_K`Vas says:
<Reed/Dawson/Caveda> CEO: Yes sir  :: all double time it to get ready.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
FCO: ::Smiles:: Thank you sir.

CEO_K`Vas says:
::puts on his EVA suits and takes his equipment to transporter room ::

Host MicLike says:
CO: Captain, thank you.  I was relocating these children to a refugee camp when these pirates started to attack us.  I had to play hide and go seek in the NZ for a while and then when I thought it was as safe as we could get I made a mad dash towards the Federation... but they caught up with us.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
MicLike: And you have no idea why they attacked you?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::glances over at Tristan's current patient and up to the vitals board, noticing that this teen has a broken arm::   CO:  Captain. MicLike:  I see.

Host MicLike says:
CO: Yes they hailed us and demanded that I hand over the weapons that I was carrying.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
MicLike: And were you carrying any weapons? ::looks at the children then back at him::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  Since when do pirates not scan their victims?  MicLike: They surely knew who you were carrying.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CNS: How are the children doing?

Host MicLike says:
::shakes his head:: CO: No captain.  I was just on the planet to deliver food and supplies to a colony there that was in a civil war.  A priest approached me and offer to pay me to take some orphans to a refugee camp on a nearby planet.

Host MicLike says:
CNS: ::turns to her:: Yes they knew but they didn't seem to care.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::grabs the back of the collar of one of the little boys as he dashes past giggling, then looks down with an appropriately stern expression, silently giving him that 'look' to cool it.  The boy nods meekly and moves more sedately past them::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: enters transporter room and assembles his men on the pad :: *CO*: Captain the away team in on the transporter pad awaiting transport

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  Just a few cuts and bruises...and one broken bone that I saw.  Emotionally, I can't sense them.  They're unreadable.

Host MicLike says:
Action: One of the children injured refuses to speak to one of the nurses and occasionally looks with fear towards the Adult.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks directly at him:: MicLike: Pirates are in this for profit...as the counsellor said...they would have scanned your ship.  Unless they know from previous encounters that you have an undetectable hidey-hole?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CNS: What species are they?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Continues to stare at his scanning readouts. Occasionally thrums his fingers on the console edge::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: On your way, Lt.   Check in at fifteen minute intervals.

Host MicLike says:
CO: I'm telling you all that I know. ::sounds honest::

Host MicLike says:
CO: Captain they are Tasalain

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  A humanoid species I have not seen before.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: Aye captain.  Transporter officer: Beam us into engineering...energize

CNS_Jakiel says:
<move mine up one>

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods at him in acceptance of what he said...at least for now:: MicLike: We are towing your ship to the nearest Starbase.  they will be able to conduct the repairs there.  In the meantime, quarters will be set up for all of you to stay here on the Delphyne.

Host MicLike says:
Action: CEO and team are beamed over to the other ship.

Host MicLike says:
::smiles and goes to rough the hair up on the boy that didn't talk to the nurse::  Nurse: His name is Telas, according to the priest, :: sadness  visible:: he has not talked since he witnessed his parents' murders.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::steps back out of the way and hits her comm badge.  Quietly:: *TO*: Lt...the passengers will be staying as our guests.  Set up security around the ship and a detail to escort them.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::watches in concern as one of the children is acting tense around the nurse and refusing to allow her near::  CO/MicLike:  Excuse me a second.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks over to MicLike and the child:: MicLike: Where is your home world?  And the planet you were taking these children to?

CEO_K`Vas says:
@:: pulls his tricorder off his belt and begins scanning the system. Orders his engineers to begin work.  He begins bypassing the power for the SFI::

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CO*: Aye, aye Captain

Host MicLike says:
<Jamen> ::steps up to the group around the boy and grows sad:: CNS: And tomorrow is his birthday.  We were going to have a party for him in the mess.  ::smiles but is still sad::  We had it decorated and all…. ::looks downcast:: but it was all destroyed in the attack.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Straightens as the Away Teams' life signs show up on his screen.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::dispatches a security detail to escort their new passengers to their quarters, then arranges for a heightened security presence around the ship::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
FCO: Sir, the AT Is aboard. I have their signals locked into the transporter.

Host MicLike says:
Action:  Several of the smaller children will begin to cry in sadness.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::lowers herself to be at the boys height without touching him, her green eyes softening.  She speaks consolingly::  Telas:  It's alright, sweetheart.  We're helping everybody....just watch the big people as they work. See how the kids are smiling now.

FCO_Harm says:
CIV: good, keep a close eye on them, if anything happens we will only have a matter of seconds to get them onboard and get out of range

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the crying children and walks over:: CNS: Counsellor...why are they suddenly crying?  Are they ill?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
FCO: Aye sir.

Host MicLike says:
<Telas> ::looks at the crying kids and then at MicLike and buries his head in her chest::

Host MicLike says:
<Jamen> CO: No ma'am. they are just sad cause we all had worked so hard on the decoration for the party

CNS_Jakiel says:
Jamen:  I'm sorry to hear that.  ::turns to look back at Telas, then hears the others start to cry and regrets her words to Telas::  CO:  I don't know...I can't sense a thing...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the boy:: Jamen: You are the oldest here?

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  Their vitals are fine.  Maybe it's a group reaction.  ::shrugs, wishing she weren't so 'blind'::

Host MicLike says:
<Jamen> ::nods::  CO/CNS: We had all so much wanted to have that party for him.... ::looks sadly at Telas:: he has been through so much.  Now that isn't possible.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::puts a hand on Telas's back:: Telas:  Maybe we can have your birthday party here.  Would you like that?

Host MicLike says:
<Telas>::looks up and smiles broadly and nods excitedly::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::continues to scan the area for incoming pirate vessels::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: continues repairs ::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::returns his smile and winks at him, moving a little closer as if in confidence:: Telas:  And maybe some cake and all the ice cream you can stuff inside yourself?

Host MicLike says:
::smiles and roughs the boy's hair up again::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::never did understand how children worked.  Gruffly:: CNS: Counsellor...I'll want a full report on all of them.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::stands back up, barely covering a smile at the captain's discomfort:: CO:  Yes, ma'am.  Will have that immediately.  And would the captain have time to attend this little party?

Host MicLike says:
