Host Brett says:
Summary: As the Delphyne escorts the Klingons on their pilgrimage, a Ferengi vessel in their path makes it plain they wish to have a word with Trenar's band.  The Klingon leader doesn't seem overly adverse to the idea, though his innate dislike for the Ferengi is plain.

Host Brett says:
<<<<Resume Mission "The Terminists - Part 4">>>>

TO_Ander says:
::running scans, and keeping watch on the Ferengi vessel::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::In CEO's office looking over the daily's and reading up on the Terminists a little::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::on the bridge looking at sensors::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::setting on the bridge in the command chair, figures the captain got stuck down in sickbay, or another part of the ship::

TO_Ander says:
Self: Looking good, so far.

TO_Ander says:
CNS: ::in a detached voice:: Ferengi, Marauder Class, shields and weapons are down. ::runs scans over the rest of the area::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Gets an uneasy feeling... looks up information on our destination::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::really does not like Ferengi, and a small part of his wishes they would do something so he could blow them out of the sky, but lets that idea pass:: CSO/TO:  Good to know

Host Brett says:
Action: As the Ferengi ship comes into view, it begins turning to match course and speed with the Delphyne and Trenar's transport.  A signal is received on the Del bridge...the Ferengi wishes to talk to you.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CNS: Incoming message, Sir. Shall I put it on screen?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CSO: Yes ::stands as the viewer comes on::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::puts communication on screen::

TO_Ander says:
::looks up at the screen::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
COM: Ferengi ship:  I am Commander Llewellyn of the Federation starship Delphyne

Host Brett says:
<Akon> COM: Delphyne:CNS: ::Smiling widely, showing pointed teeth::  Ahhhh, friends.  Good to see you all.  I am Daimon Akon.  I wish to have a word with Trenar...Is he there?

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Tries to shift his attention from the Terminists back to the ship and gets up and enters into main engineering::

TO_Ander says:
::groans, and looks away from the screen::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
COM: Ferengi Ship: Akon: He is not here at the moment, however I am willing to pass any message you may have to him.

Host Brett says:
<Akon> COM: Delphyne: CNS: That will not be necessary, I will contact him on his ship.

Host Brett says:
Action: At that moment, Trenar hails the Delphyne as well.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
COM: Ferengi Ship: Akon: Very well, however I wish to warn you that he and his ship are currently under the protection of the Federation

TO_Ander says:
CNS: Sir, Trenar is hailing us.

TO_Ander says:
::still watching his console, and avoiding looking up at the ugly Ferengi::

Host Brett says:
<Akon> COM: Delphyne:CNS: Oh pish tush, we are traders not warriors.  You Hooomons are always so paranoid.  No wonder no one likes you.

TO_Ander says:
::hovers his finger over a command that would charge weapons and fire; decides not to::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::smiles:: COM: Ferengi Ship: Akon: If that is all I must be going ::nods to the TO to switch to Trenar::

TO_Ander says:
::switches over::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> COM:Del:CNS: Captain...oh, who are you?  ::Looks annoyed::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
COM: Klingon ship: Trenar: Greetings I am Commander Llewellyn, I meet you in the transporter room.  Is there something I could help you with

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::looks up at the screen again::

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Exits the Turbo Lift onto the Bridge, sees Trenar on the main viewscreen. ::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> COM:Del:CNS: Well, this Akon claims to have religious artifacts relating to the End of Days.  I distrust his kind, but I cannot risk that he might be telling the truth.  I wish to use your vessel as a meeting place.  We will beam over in ten minutes.  Instruct the Ferengi to do so as well and provide us suitable accommodations.

TO_Ander says:
::stands at attention, as the Captain steps on to the deck::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
COM: Bartok: Trenar:  I will get your message to the Captain ::turns and see the CO enter the bridge:: here he is now

CO_Mash`ev says:
::motions "as you were" to the TO. ::

TO_Ander says:
::nods, and again continues his work at the console::

CO_Mash`ev says:
CNS: Thank you, counselor.

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> COM:Del:CO: Captain, you heard?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::almost smirks at the eager cadet::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::steps back letting the Captain step forward to speak to Trenar::

CO_Mash`ev says:
COM: Bartok: Trenar: I apologize, Trenar, I was called away at the most inopportune moment. It won't happen again.

CO_Mash`ev says:
COM: Bartok: Trenar: I did catch the tail end of your request and we will arrange it.

TO_Ander says:
::wonders where they will meet at::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> COM:Del:CO: Good.  We will arrive shortly.  ::The communication ends::

Host Brett says:
Action: Almost immediately the Ferengi are again hailing you.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CO: Its the Ferengi again... shall I put it on screen?

TO_Ander says:
::his eye twitches for a moment, before returning to normal::

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: Yes, onscreen.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::returns to his seat, allowing the captain the honor of speaking to the Ferengi::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::puts it onscreen::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Takes a minute to admire the warp core and enjoy it humming song::

Host Brett says:
<Akon> COM:Del:CO: ::Frowning::  Captain, I must protest!  You are very rude people.  Now, Trenar has instructed me to speak to you about our meeting arrangements.  I shall need a large table, some chairs.  Refreshments of course...do you have grub worms?  No?  Thought not...then Vienna sausages will do.  Oh!  On Little sticks!

TO_Ander says:
::hovers his finger over the command; 'It's right there!'::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::looks up at the main view screen, and almost laughs.  if he were captain the Ferengi would be lucking if he let them use the head::

CO_Mash`ev says:
COM: Ferengi: Akon: Daimon, we will have a meeting room set up here so you and the Klingons can discuss your business arrangements. We will do everything we can to make sure you're comfortable while you're here.

TO_Ander says:
::'Comfortable.. in a brig cell? That's a laugh. Oh, right.'; bounces out another scan of the area::

Host Brett says:
<Akon> COM:Del:CO: Excellent Captain, you are most accommodating.  I shall make certain your superiors know of your generosity and assistance in matters of commerce.  We will transport shortly.  ::Smiles once more then ends the communication::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Heads on into the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Turns to address the bridge crew, after the communication ends. ::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CO: so it seems that Akon thinks he has something of value and wishes to sell it to our Klingon friends.

Host Brett says:
Action: The odd trio of ships glides through space.  En route to, so it is believed, the end of the universe.

CO_Mash`ev says:
CNS: I can't imagine what it could be?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CO: They said religious items..

CO_Mash`ev says:
CNS: Yes, but what could they possibly have that the Klingons wouldn't know about?

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::The TL door open and I step out on to the bridge::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CO: Who knows maybe a clay pot with a Klingon on it or something?

CO_Mash`ev says:
TO: Security needs to be tight. Never turn your back on a Ferengi.  I have no idea what they're planning on bringing with them, if anything? Scan it, scan them, check everything out.

TO_Ander says:
CO: Already on it, sir.

CO_Mash`ev says:
CNS: Meet the Klingons when they beam over and escort them to Conference Room One.

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Logs into the engineering station... thinking Ferengi, here?::

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: Meet the Ferengi and escort them to Conference Room One.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::stands, is very glad he didn't say Ferengi:: CO: Yes, sir

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Sir. Would you like me to do what I can to authenticate the Ferengi's claims... what ever they may be?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::heads towards the TL:: CEO: Yep they are hear, and just when you thought it was going to be a good day ::holds the door for the CSO::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<hear to here>

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::begins walking across the bridge to the lift as she awaits the captain's answer::

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: Yes, as soon as we know what it is they're claiming.. right now, we don't have much to go on?

TO_Ander says:
::orders some officers, 8 at the least, to Conference Room One; glad that some Senior Officers are around::

CO_Mash`ev says:
CEO: Join us in the meeting and assist the TO with his scans.

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO: Aye.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::enters the lift when it arrives, nods politely to Donnie:: CNS: Commander.

TO_Ander says:
::wishes he could stay away from the room, Religious Klingons AND Ferengis.. 'Fun.'::

TO_Ander says:
::wonders if he should step into the crowded lift::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::lets the door close:: CSO: Don't you just love Ferengi?

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
TO: Well let's do some scanning. I'll divert some extra power over to the transporter pattern scanners.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CNS: No. I do not love the Ferengi... but I do not dislike them either.

Host Brett says:
Action: The ten minutes passes quickly and right on time both parties begin beaming over.  Trenar and a huge Klingon male and Akon with his diminutive 2nd officer, lugging a steamer trunk sized crate.

TO_Ander says:
CEO: Right. ::begins scanning as they come over::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Diverts the power::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::standing in the Transporter room:: Trenar: Welcome aboard

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::leans over and quietly asks the transporter tech what is in the trunk::

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Waiting in the Conference Room for the parties to arrive. ::

TO_Ander says:
*CO*: Sounds like the Doctor was right when he suggested a clay pot. Sort of, anyways. Nothing dangerous detected by scans, sir.

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
TO: We should head to that meeting then?

CO_Mash`ev says:
*TO*: Very good, Mr Ander. Come to the Conference Room as soon as you can.

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CNS: Thank you.  Now, let's get this over with.  I feel I should kill those Ferengi for profaning the prophesy by even suggesting they have items I would be interested in, but...I cannot risk it.  Take me to the meeting place.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
Akon: Welcome to the Delphyne, I am Lieutenant Rhykmal, Chief Science Officer.

TO_Ander says:
*CO*: Yes, sir. ::looks to Quinn, as he moves to the lift:: CEO: We should.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::nods to Trenar::  Trenar: This way ::leads them down the hall::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::follows Ander into the TL::

TO_Ander says:
TL: Conference Room One.

Host Brett says:
<Akon> ::Steps forward, bowing and groveling as only a Ferengi can::  CSO: Ahh, a Vulcan.  A species we can deal with in honesty and fairness, as we Ferengi always wish to do.  It is refreshing to see you.  Perhaps, after the proceedings are over, you would come back to my ship and we could discuss philosophy?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Trenar: You said that you can not risk the Ferengi might be telling the truth.  Could anything they are saying be true, what could they have that could be so important?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::enters the TL with the two Klingons::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::raises an eyebrow, wishing like heck her telepathy worked more like a Vulcan's than a Betazoid's so she could know his intent:: Akon: Only if my duties on the Delphyne allow it...  ::doesn't plan for her duties to allow it::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> ::Walks with the Counselor quickly, obviously agitated and appearing more Klingon than he has so far::  CNS: I have no idea!  But, there are many signs along the Path, and if we should miss one...we might fail.  I have seen many false artifacts in my day, and I expect no less now.

TO_Ander says:
::steps out of the TL as it arrives, and quickly moves to the Conference Room, nods to the CO when he enters:: CO: Sir.

Host Brett says:
<Akon> CSO: I will speak to your captain.  He seems reasonable, most Bolians are.  Now, let us not keep Mr. Trenar waiting.  ::Indicates the door::

CO_Mash`ev says:
::nods to the TO, trying to get a look of annoyance at having to host this meeting off his face before anyone else shows up. ::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
:: Enters the conference room a few steps after the TO::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO: Sir.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::nods:: Akon: Please come with me.... I will take you to the conference room.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::nods to Trenar:: ::steps out of the TL and heads to the conference room::

CO_Mash`ev says:
CEO/TO: They should be here any moment.

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Picks a seat and stands behind it, waiting for our guests::

TO_Ander says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::moves to the side of the room, where he hopes he blends in; hears a snicker from one of the other tactical officers, but barely::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::enters the conference room with Klingons in tow::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::leads the Ferengi out of the transporter room and to the lift to take him to the conference room::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::gets the Ferengi delegation into the lift and enters last:: Turbolift: Conference room.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::arrives in the conference room with Ferengi in tow::

Host Brett says:
<Akon> ::Sets the large trunk on the table with a resounding "thunk".  Smiles at the Klingons who glower in return::

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Stands as the Klingons enter.:: Trenar: Welcome aboard.

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Still standing. ::  Akon: Welcome aboard.

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CO: Thank you.  Now, let us see what this...Merchant, has brought.

TO_Ander says:
::tries not to get sick at the sight of the Ferengi::

CO_Mash`ev says:
Akon: I am most curious what you might have with you.

Host Brett says:
<Akon> ::Opens the trunk, and peers inside.  Then, suddenly looks around the room::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::turns to the TO hoping that he can control his emotions towards the Ferengi, at least while they are here::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::is ready with her tricorder::

TO_Ander says:
::notes the CNS looking at him, and quickly averts his eyes to the floor::

Host Brett says:
<Akon> All: What, no sausages?

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Sees the CSO with her tricorder and thinks 'damn, I should have brought mine'::

Host Brett says:
