 <<<<Resume Mission - "Armistice Part 15">>>>

XO_Mash`ev:
 CMO: How bad is it?

CMO_P`Trell:
 XO: You'll be fine. ::smiles at him:: You can get up now... I need to attend to him ::motions with her head to Pusa::

CO_Mordane:
 XO: Suck it up Chief, it's probably just a flesh wound.

CTO_Marshall:
 ::stands in the middle of the room surveying the general area, standing guard::

XO_Mash`ev:
 CO/CMO: Aye.  :: Tries to stand and not show how wobbley he is. ::

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::helps the XO stand up::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::looks over the com gear::

CNS_Selin:
 ::sticks to the CO's side::

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Continues to lend strength to Pusa::

CO_Mordane:
 Pusa: Ok, now it's your turn... what frequency are the Romulans opperating on?

CMO_P`Trell:
 XO: Will you be alright on your own? I need to give Pusa something for his pain if we are to pull this off, I think...

XO_Mash`ev:
 CMO: I'll be fine. ::leans against the wall a little bit::

Brett:
 <Pusa> CO: ::Gives the frequency, gasping with pain::

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::pats him on the shoulder gently as if to say, "there's my strong Bolian", gives him an affectionate look then turns sharply hearing Pusa gasp in pain::

CO_Mordane:
 CEO: Let's make a call to the Romulans, Commander.

CNS_Selin:
 CTO: you okay Marshall?

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CO: Yes sir but it'll be a bit to rig; this is a Romulan radio. :: pulls out a tricorder to translate the writing::  I want to make sure we do not do anything stupid.

CTO_Marshall:
 ::Snaps out of heavy thought:: CNS: Just fine, lost my train of thought for a moment.

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::goes to Pusa, her fingers flying on the controls of the hypospray reconfiguring the material inside for pain control:: Pusa: This should help a little bit... with the pain... ::shows him the hypospray displaying her intent to inject him::

XO_Mash`ev:
 CEO: I'll give you a hand, Commander. :: goes over to assist ::

CNS_Selin:
 ::nods:: CTO: I'm here for you if you need it once we get out of here

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Watches the CMO's hypo-device carefully::

Brett:
 <Pusa> ::Slumps into a chair::  CMO: Do what you must... but remember your promise... ::Looks lovingly at Ruissi and then winces again::

CTO_Marshall:
 CEO: Won't the Romulans pick up our use of the universal translator and know its a fraud?

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::reads the tricoder display and then looks at the radio:: CO: You know Romulan, sir?  We are looking for the correct subspace frequency.

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CTO: I am not planning on talking.

CO_Mordane:
 ::points at Pusa::  CEO: He does.

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::nods:: Pusa: I am a P'Trell I will do for you all that's Andorianly possible. ::injects him::

CTO_Marshall:
 CEO/CO: Of course ::coughs and turns away::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::figures out the last of the settings::  CO: We should be set, sir.

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::realizes what she just said is probably not all that comforting to a Romulan and shrugs::

CNS_Selin:
 ::thinks to self, "I better get the CTO in my office as soon as we get back"::

CO_Mordane:
 Pusa: Consider this your redemtion...whenever you're ready.

Brett:
 <Pusa> :: Engages the transmitter and sits upright, trying to appear normal.  The twitching in his back tells of the effort it is taking.::

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::steps back to go to the XO, approaches him hesitantly:: XO: (quietly) You doing alright? ::gives him a gentle smile and a light touch on his arm::

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Out of sight of the screen, gently squeezes Pusa's hand::

XO_Mash`ev:
 CMO: ::whispers:: I'll be fine. A little woozey but that's to be expected. ::smiles back::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::crouchs low and out of sight, glad he so small::

Brett:
 Action: After keying in several commands, the screen disoolves into the bridge of a ship.  A stern faced Romulan officer glares at the screen.

Brett:
 <Officer> (Speaking Romulan but your translators decipher it) Pusa: What is this?  You were not to contact us again.

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::antennae turn towards Pusa, remaining quiet as she watches him from an angle, hears the XO, nods at him, smiles back::

CO_Mordane:
 ::waits and silently hopes that things go smoothly::

Brett:
 <Tovik> Officer: There has been a change of plans, the operation is cancelled.

CNS_Selin:
 ::whispers:: CO: I'm sensing much confusion from the Romulan officer.

CO_Mordane:
 ::nods to the CNS, not surprised, but worried nonetheless::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::stays low with claws at the ready in the event some needs to be "Silenced"::

Brett:
 <officer> Tovik: What?!  I was not informed.  We are already across the Neutral Zone... we'll be there shortly.  The operation proceeds as planned.

CNS_Selin:
 <::whispers:: CO: The Romulan officer seams very confused>

XO_Mash`ev:
 :: listens attentively, ready to signal if he hears anything suspicious. ::

CO_Mordane:
 ::gives Pusa an urgent look::

Brett:
 <Tovik> Officer: ::Looking angry now::  No, it does not!  I am in command.  This is MY operation and I say when it does and does not proceed.  Code: Proteus.  You are to turn around and return to our own space... unless you wish my... associates... to investigate your family's holdings on Ralfa 2?

Brett:
 <Officer> ::pales::  Tovik: Of, of course not... I was... confused.  It shall be done at once.  ::Bows and the screen goes dark::

CNS_Selin:
 ::observes the proceedings very closely::

Brett:
 <Pusa> ::Collapses and falls to the floor::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::Is not conviced they out of the frying pan::

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::tenses up as she hears the Romulans have crossed the NZ but relaxes when the screen goes dark, then rushes to Pusa's side when he collapses::

XO_Mash`ev:
 CMO: Check on Pusa.

CO_Mordane:
 ::lets out a sigh of relief::  CEO: Pull up the Federation frequency.

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::whips out the tricorder:: XO: already on it.

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Drops to the floor beside Pusa, taking his face in her hands::

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::scans Pusa again::

Brett:
 Action: OPS suddenly turns and reports two Romulan and two Psellan life-signs are approaching.  They have reached the top of the stairs, thirty feet away down the corridor.

CNS_Selin:
 ::rushes to the CMO's side to assist::

Brett:
 Action: It appears they are not alarmed.

CTO_Marshall:
 ::Moves closer to the entrance to the room, sidearm raised::

XO_Mash`ev:
 :: Steps up to assist OPS, even though the sting of the last attack is still with him. ::

CO_Mordane:
 ::curses::  CTO: How secure is that door?

CTO_Marshall:
 CO: It won't hold under much punishment sir.

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CO: Aye sir ::holds up tricoder and sets the radio for federation frequencey:: How ever sir will it be wise to transmitt on a federation frequency at this time?

CO_Mordane:
 CEO: How much longer will the Romulans be in range of the communication?

Brett:
 <Taigu> ::Sighs::  I wanted thicker doors...but some lobby whined about the endangered Bagalin tree.  Well, I hope they're happy now!

CMO_P`Trell:
 Outloud: No... no... Pusa's dying... the cellular structure is breaking down even faster now... he maybe has only an hour to live if we are lucky... ::sounds dismayed::

CO_Mordane:
 CMO: We may not even have that long, Doctor...

CMO_P`Trell:
 Ruissi: We have got to get Pusa to a hospital, the best one we can in an hour... ::looks up at the CO:: CO: Sir?

CO_Mordane:
 ::looks at West::  CTO: Why don't we throw him out into the cooridor as bait?

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::those a few calcutions in his head to get the information for the captain::

CO_Mordane:
 CMO: Well we're not going anywhere with those guards out in the hall...

CNS_Selin:
 ALL: could there be a secret door somewhere in this room?

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::looks at Russi:: Ruissi: Think those guards will trust you? Long enough to give them a distraction?

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CO: Provided the Romulans have turned around, it may be several days before we can send a tranimission undetected with this unit. We might be able to send a tight beam transmission but for that to work we will have to know the exact location of the reciveing transmitter and there is still a chance the Romulan will detect the signal... and with a tight beam, they could figure out where it was going.

CO_Mordane:
 ::looks from the CNS to the Taigu::  Self: I knew there was a reason we brought the smart one along...

Brett:
 <Taigu> All: Oh!  I wish.  I will have one installed in every room in my palace if we get out of this!

CNS_Selin:
 ::begins looking around the room almost franticaly::

CO_Mordane:
 ::mutters::  Self: Figures.

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 CMO: There is no guarantee they even recognize me, but it might be worth a try.

Brett:
 Action: The Romulans pass the library and continue closer.

CO_Mordane:
 CEO: Ok, then how long until they're back over the Neutral Zone... something tells me they won't violate Federation space twice.

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::nods:: Ruissi: As a Psellan you have a better chance than I. ::smiles:: Thank you.

CTO_Marshall:
 CO: Im all for that sir. ::Smiles::

Brett:
 Action: Suddenly...

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 CMO: Whatever your commander deems best, Doctor.

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Ducks... just in case::

XO_Mash`ev:
 :: Prepares for the worst as the guard approaches. ::

Brett:
 Action: There is the distinct whine of a transporter from the hallway.  OPS reports that the Romulans have been beamed away.

Brett:
 Action: The Psellans stand, bewildered in the hall.

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Stands straight again, but still tensed, poised for any possible emergency::

XO_Mash`ev:
 CO: That could be good news, sir. ::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::attempts to figure out the Romulans ETA to the Neutral Zone.::

CMO_P`Trell:
 West: What is the closest, best hospital near by?

Brett:
 COM: CO: Captain Mordane, are you there, sir?

Brett:
 <West> CMO: The main one, about five or six blocks... but with the riots...

CO_Mordane:
 COM: Unknown Target: This is Mordane.

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::hears a comunication on the captain's badge, thinking if that's a starship... then that's their best bet::

XO_Mash`ev:
 Ruissi: Is there a transporter facility in this building?

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::an expression of hope crosses her face::

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 XO: I don't know. My role as Legion leader has not brought me through the palace much.

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CO: a few hours i would image, to be safe

Brett:
 <CO Fanon> COM:CO: Ah, thank goodness.  We were very concerned when we detected the detroyed runabout and your big friend breaking orbit.  This is Captain Elito Fanon of the USS Himori.  We are here to... assist.

Brett:
 Action: The two Psellans, hearing something, begin walking up to the comm room door.

CMO_P`Trell:
 Russi: That's the Himori... they will have an excellent facility aboard... ::looks to Mordane:: CO: Sir can you ask the Himori if we can use their facilties?

CNS_Selin:
 ::braces for the attack::

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Drops down again by Pusa's side, and holds his hand, speaking softly to him::

CO_Mordane:
 COM: Fanon: It's good to finally hear a friendly voice.  I don't suppose you could take care of the two Psellian guards approaching our location?

CO_Mordane:
 ::nods to the Doctor, but keeps the priorities straight::

Brett:
 <CO Fanon> COM: CO: Give me a second...

Brett:
 Action: The door knob turns and the two guards open the door... standing shocked at the sight of the group of officers.

Brett:
 Action: And then they are bathed in transporter light and vanish.

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::Realizes contacting the Federation would be pointless now and wonders if the Himori got the distress call::

XO_Mash`ev:
 :: Holds his disruptor towars the Pselliad guards just as they vanish. ::

CO_Mordane:
 ::waves to the vanishing guards, with a grin on his face::

CMO_P`Trell:
 ::feels somewhat relieved::

CNS_Selin:
 ::wipes sweat from her brow::

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 CMO: Are we going to get to those medical facilities in time?  ::Carefully restrains the anxiety in her voice::

CO_Mordane:
 COM: Fanon: Captain, we also have two wounded here, if you could beam them to sickbay and see they are attended to.  My CMO will relay the coordinates.

XO_Mash`ev:
 ::waves off going to the Himori::

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 CO: May I go with him?

CMO_P`Trell:
 Russi: I think the sickbay aboard the Himori will do what I need.... ::hears the CO, presses her badge::

CO_Mordane:
 Ruissi: It's the doctor's discression

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Looks to P'Trell...::

CMO_P`Trell:
 COM: Himori: I have myself, and two to beam up... can you center on my communications badge? ::looks at Russi:: Russi: Stick close to me.

CNS_Selin:
 ::moves back to the CO's side::

Brett:
 <CO Fanon> COM: CO: We received a very odd distress call from the planet... as the nearest ship we rushed over.  I don't know what is happening down there Captain, but maybe we had better have a chat?

Brett:
 Action: The CMO, Pusa and Ruissi are beamed aboard the Himori.

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::Watchs as the CMO dispears::

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 ::Holds tightly to Pusa's hand as they dematerialize::

CO_Mordane:
 COM: Fanon: I can guarantee it will be long... and interesting.  We've got a few items to take care of down here, then I'll meet you on board.

Brett:
 <CO Fanon> COM: CO: Shall I send down a security detail, things look kind of rough down there.

CO_Mordane:
 COM: CO: That would be appreciated.  I'm not sure how much of the rebellion is still in full force.

CMO_P`Trell:
 @::materializes with Pusa and Ruissi on the Himori::

Brett:
 <CO Fanon> COM: CO: Rebellion?  How many men do you need?

CNS_Selin:
 CO: sir, we don't want a large party to come down here.

CNS_Selin:
 CO: it could be taken as a hostile act by those on our side.

CMO_P`Trell:
 @::gets the help of the Himori medical staff to help her in taking care of Pusa::

CO_Mordane:
 COM: Fanon: Four or five in addition to my crew will be fine.  They can stay behind and provide security for the Taigu while he cleans things up.

Ruissi_Bwevoss:
 @::Stays near by Pusa as the medical staff begin to work::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CO: May i suggest the beam down weapons for us, and ::looks at his uniform::: change of clothes?

CO_Mordane:
 ::turns to the Taigu::  Taigu: You've got quite a task ahead of you... getting the word out, and pushing down the insurgents.  

CNS_Selin:
 ::laughs at the change of clothes statement::

CO_Mordane:
 CEO: We'll be heading up there soon enough, Commander, you can get a replacement then.

CO_Mordane:
 ::turns to West:: West: And you, Ambassador... were darn lucky we were around.  Pray we don't meet again.

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CO: Very well sir, though we might be wrapping up some stuff here

Brett:
 <Taigu> CO: Well, I was hoping Ruissi Bwevoss would assist me in calming her band down... but I see she has left us.

Brett:
 <West> ::Sitting against the wall, wondering where he went wrong.::

CO_Mordane:
 Taigu: I'll see what I can do about returning her.  If Pusa's recovery won't take long, then we'll have the Himori stay in orbit until he's recovered and you can have both of them back.

XO_Mash`ev:
 :: Looks over at West, almost feeling sorry for him. Almost. ::

CO_Mordane:
 XO: Chief... anything we're forgetting?

CNS_Selin:
 ::pulls hair back::

Brett:
 <Taigu> All: If it means anything, this has, more than ever, convinced me that Psellus must become members of the Federation... I have a document here... somewhere... I don't suppose you could sign it?

CNS_Selin:
 Taigu: what kind of document?

Brett:
 <Taigu> CNS: Our membership application of course!  ::Smiles brightly::

XO_Mash`ev:
 CO: Just getting order reestablished... which shouldn't be too hard if all the Romulans disappeared.

CNS_Selin:
 ::smiles and nods::

Brett:
 Action: Six securty men materialize in and around the area.

CO_Mordane:
 ::smiles:: Taigu: It would be my pleasure.  ::adds his signature to the bottom of the form::  I'll see this gets to the Federation Council.

CNS_Selin:
 ::moves closer to review the document::

CNS_Selin:
 ::smiles widely at the CO::

Brett:
 <West> ::Starts to protest, but falls silent and slumps, dejected::

XO_Mash`ev:
 CO: ::whispers:: What do we do with him? ::pointing to West::

CO_Mordane:
 Security: Gentlemen, this ::points:: is the Taigu.  He'll be requiring your assistance for the next few days.

CO_Mordane:
 XO: I was just going to leave him here...

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::almost feels sorry for west::

CO_Mordane:
 XO: I'm sure the Taigu knows how to handle him.  And the Federation Council will be sending someone along to investigate anyhow.

XO_Mash`ev:
 CO: As much as I hate to say this, he needs something to do.

CO_Mordane:
 XO: Well, this will be a member planet soon enough, he'll have a lot on his plate...if he doesn't lose his job over this.

CNS_Selin:
 XO: those cells we were in looked kind of dirty ::giggles::

CO_Mordane:
 All: I believe our work is complete here, ladies and gentlemen.  The Captain of the Himori is waiting on us.

CNS_Selin:
 ::nods to the CO::

CO_Mordane:
 COM: Fanon: Captain, we are ready to go.

XO_Mash`ev:
 CNS: That's something I wouldn't wish on a Romulan!

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 CO: I just hope i will not have to wear a dress uniform again for a long while ::looks at his shredder no longer white uniform::

CNS_Selin:
 ::laughs::

CNS_Selin:
 ::smiles at the CEO::

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 ::aside to the XO:: XO: If they leave West here, what is to stop them from rethinking joining the Federation? He is enough to make me want to quit.

XO_Mash`ev:
 CEO: Good point.. but do you want him with us?

CEO_Jakuharrr:
 XO: No, but what about the Romulans?

CO_Mordane:
 COM: Fanon: Energize.

Brett:
 Action: The crew is transported off of Psellus III, leaving West and Taigu Sissal to sort out their civil matters.  The crew knows that, quite soon, they will return to the hard life of space exploration and perhaps they are greatful for this routine diplomatic diversion.

Brett:
