Summary:  The Delphyne returned to SB310 after their briefing rendezvous, and for two days enjoyed a short shore leave.  But the vacation is over
  
Each member of the senior staff was greeted by an armed security guard and escorted to a conference room in the station.  In the front of the room is a single chair, a Klingon style gavel sits on the desk in front.
 
Chairs have been arranged for the senior staff to sit in and the security men are standing behind the chairs.
 
On both sides of the chair with the gavel their are 3 chairs which seem to be put there for a audience, or guests, or jury perhaps.
 
What does this mean for the crew of the Delphyne, maybe the Cardassians are suing for the price of the two ships...maybe.
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Three-  “Changes”  The  deception begins.  Star date 10804.16

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sits in his chair wondering what is going on::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::standing in front of her chair, waiting for whatever is to happen...happen::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::enters the conference room, and stands near the captain::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits in his SF cam duty uniform scowling at the security guards::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sits in a her apparent chair looking very perturbed::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::sits in his chair wondering what going on now.::
 
Action: A mixture of races from the surrounding systems fill the chairs, Cardassian, Breen, Ferengi, and Bajoran.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks over at Twelk:: OPS: Wonder what we did this time?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::stands next to her Captain, following her lead.  Glances around carefully, notices that her 'guard' seems a bit nervous and wonders if she should lean closer to him and say 'Boo!'::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks around and sees that all the officers are sitting except herself, the XO and the CMO:: CMO: Take your seat, Commander.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO; Probably in trouble for taking out the garbage.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Some people are just so damn ungrateful

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::nods towards the seat for Sika:: XO: You also, Commander.  might as well make yourself comfortable.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::nods the CO, a sense of Foreboding niggling at the back of his mind::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::takes his seat::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: How true.
 
Action: The admiral enters the room with a padd in his hand.  He grimaces at the Delphyne crew before taking a seat at the chair with the gavel.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::glances to her husband, who is sitting next to her now::
 
XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::glances at the seat and the guards:: CO: Captain, I think if I move too much that he'll ::indicates the guard behind her:: might do something he'll regret

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
<edit, take out might>

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: XO: Just go ahead and sit down, please.  He'll have something to tell his grandchildren.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::feels the bulge in his thigh pocket::

RADM_K`Vas says:
:: picking up the gavel he smashes in down onto the stone plate beneath it:: All : Order, I have ordered this tribunal so that the crew of the USS Delphyne can answer to the dishonorable acts reported to me by the sector commander of their previous base

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye Captain ::spares a glance at the guard and wiggles her antennae at him just to see what he does::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::slowly slips out the cylinder and slips it up his sleeve::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::stands in front of her chair with her arms crossed, waiting and looking towards K'Vas with no expression::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::sits, but is ready to move if needed::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::crosses her arms::  CMO:  ::loud enough to be heard by most but still meant to be hushed:: This ought to be good

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Figures we work our butts off for Starfleet and now they call us dishonorable.

RADM_K`Vas says:
CO: So captain what do you have to say for your actions and the actions of your crew

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::leans across and deposits it in the CMO`s hand::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: go figure

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits back up in his chair::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CSO:: Indeed. ::reaches his hand out to pat her leg, only to have the CTO, drop a hypo spray on his lap::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::looks down at it, then turns to glance at the CTO::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
ADM: I have nothing to say about my actions.  I stand behind each and every one of them.  And my crew acted under my orders.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks at the CMO with that I’m sorry look in his eyes::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::scowls at the CTO, knowing what was in the hypo, and seeing its not empty::

RADM_K`Vas says:
:: growls :: CO: I see, so much has changed since I served on that once proud vessel.  Now it is commanded a fool and staffed with cowards

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::feels shame at having betrayed his friends trust::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
<edit not empty to now empty>

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CMO: ::same hushed tone::And to think I once admired this guy.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::rolls her eyes::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::growls when he hears K`Vas calls them cowards::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
ADM: Funny how you only dare call me and the crew these names after you can hide behind admiral bars.  We did nothing wrong.  In fact we saved several hostages and destroyed a menace that had been praying on ships for over a decade.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::leans forward slightly and her antennae are all the way forward at the 'cowards' insult::
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::stands and looks the Admiral in the eye:: ADM: Cowards!! you honorless dog, I will not allow you to attack my captains honor like a Ferengi p’tahk. Pick up a weapon and face me like a warrior you dog

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CSO:: also as hushed:: and too think He stood with us at our wedding
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns:: CTO: Sit down...that is an order Lt! ::stares at him until he complies::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks at the Captain and obeys::
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: You wasting you time these are Starfleet lackeys they won't fight honestly.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: cowards the lot of them
 
RADM_K`Vas says:
:: smashes the gavel so hard the plate under it shatters ::  CO: You p'tahk, if I were not a Starfleet officer I would spill your blood here and now. Assuring your DNA could not pollute the universe any further.  You dishonor you fathers name
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits clenching his fists::

RADM_K`Vas says:
:: Throws the padd on the floor in front of the Del crew :: All: I see that you all survived the last mission, that is more than can be said for the hostages or your former admiral

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CTO/OPS: Damn desk jockeys, they sit behind a desk all day and think they have the right to pick apart our actions.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::stands:: RADM::  I will not sit here, while you slander your friends, To think You stood with me at my wedding...and now this....::stands and walks out::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::doesn't even look at the padd, keeps her attention on the Admiral, but a sneer is showing on her face::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CEO: Didn’t we bleed enough for these fools?

RADM_K`Vas says:
:: orders the security to forcibly bring the CMO back ::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::shakes her head and stares at him in disgust.  Spits on the floor:: ADM: This whole charade is nothing less than a self serving promotional tool to get more accolades and shiny buttons for your uniform.  ::points at him:: You weren't there...you were sitting behind a desk safe and sound.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CEO: How true  if any of them had the guts to come on a starship maybe they wouldn't so damn critical.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CTO:  You'd think so.  How many of our crew died, doing their bidding?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::seems concerned suddenly as her husband is man handled by the security men::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::continues on:: ADM: This is the best damn crew in the fleet and if we could not save them...then there was no way they could be saved.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::Takes a swing at one of the security guards::
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: Commander...sit down now!

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: Captain I can not be silent any longer.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: We will not stoop to the level of idiocy that this proceeding is at.  Is that understood?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: I will Not! I have stood by long enough....How many more innocents will have to die while Starfleet grows fat and happy on the spoils of war!

RADM_K`Vas says:
:: snarls :: CO: You are correct, I was not there.  For if I was star base 23 would not be morning the loss of its admiral and so many personnel

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I believe the Doc has the right Ideal we should all just get up and leave this farce.

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
ALL: This is not what I joined Starfleet for.  I will not stand here and be spoken to like an animal.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
All:: I didn't join Starfleet to be a bloody Fireman...I'm a Doctor, not a lapdog!

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::lowers his eyes and looks at his boots::

RADM_K`Vas says:
CMO: Commander, and I use that term temporarily, you would do well to sit.  You are already under suspicions part of this crew, no need to have you investigated further for possible ties to the Romulan Empire

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::snorts:: CO: Captain, do we have to sit here and listen to this ::gestures at the Admiral:: sorry excuse try to lay blame on us

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
ADM: You can have your shiny pips but mine are gone as of now.  I will not be here any longer to listen to the stupidity of what is going on.   I will not let my honor be disrespected by an Admiral that thinks only of his position rather than his crew.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
RADM:: How DARE you!

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::removes her pips and tosses them on the Admiral's Desk::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::stands and comes to stand beside his friend:: CMO: Doc sit down

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::face red with rage, something no one here has ever seen of there Doctor::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::turns and walks back to her seat and growls as she is boiling inside::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns and looks at her crew and then turns back to K'Vas. Shakes her head in disgust:: ADM: We're done with this.  Go find some other whipping boy for your own career goals.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns to the crew:: Crew: Report back to the ship...now.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::opens his pocket and takes out a shiny medal his eyes focus on it. Slowly he turns and places it before the admiral, his rank pips and ship patch with it. Silently he returns to his seat::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: rises and starts to leave the room::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: Already gone.  ::goes hurriedly out for the ship::

RADM_K`Vas says:
FCO: A wise decision, a lo'be'Vos like you does not deserve to wear that rank

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::stands quickly, knocking the chair back and into the guard:: CO: With pleasure, Captain

RADM_K`Vas says:
CO: I warn you captain you are overstepping your authority.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::removes his pips and tosses his pips onto the ADM deck and walks out.::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::stops::  Admiral: I am not the lo'be'Vos you think I am you p’tahk.  ::keeps her back to him and walks off::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands and looks one last time at the ADM and simply shakes her head with shame.  Then turns and leaves with her crew.
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::a tear runs down his cheek as he stands and obeys his Captain without question::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::stalks out of the Conference room::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Reaches up and takes her pips off then tosses them to the Admiral and his desk:: Admiral: You can have those....::long pause:: Sir ::very sarcastically::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::follows the others out of the room::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::catches up with the captain:: CO: Your orders ma'am?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
:;waits until her crew has left and turns back to K'Vas:: ADM: I have given my life to Starfleet...I have more scars and suffered more than you will ever know to uphold the truths and values that Starfleet once had.  But this...::gestures around the room::...is not the Starfleet I am willing to serve.  No more....

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: walks down the hall towards the ships airlock and taps his Com badge:: Computer: Lock onto the Del’s crew and transport them back aboard.
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::pulls her pips off and tosses them onto the pile with her crew's:: ADM: And I would watch your step from now on K'Vas...you have gone too far. ::limps away after her crew::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::follows in Twelk’s shadow as he heads for the ship::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: With that being done what is next?

RADM_K`Vas says:
CO: You and your crew are confined to your ship.  And your medal and commendations are herby revoked.  You have failed me greatly

RADM_K`Vas says:
:: motions for security to see that the del crew makes in back to and stays on their ship::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::hears K’Vas from the hallway but doesn't react:: FCO: Plot a course out of here, Lt.  I'll send you the bearings when we get on board.

RADM_K`Vas says:
All: This tribunal is adjourned :: smashes the gavel down and walks out of the room knocking some of the guests off their feet as he passes ::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: Yljaj my captain.
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO: I owe you an apology Owyn

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::calls ahead:: XO: Commander...have the senior staff meet me immediately in my ready room. ::limps through the airlock and onto the ship::
 
CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO: You're bloody well right you do!

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::follows the captain::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods at K'Beth::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: looks to see if the CEO is close and move to him:: CEO: Chief when we get back aboard i need you to place some exploslives on the docking clamps.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: I couldn’t stop the dreams Owyn

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Del Crew: You heard the Captain.  Ready room ASAP

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: follows the CO aboard the ship::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves quickly onto the ship and immediately goes to the ready room::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
OPS:  I'll see to it in case it is needed.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::heads for the ready room.::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::heads for the ready room::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: nods to the CEO and heads for the Ready room::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:: ::glowers as he heads for the ready room:: You're lucky I don't put you on report right now!

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::walks to her station on the bridge and enters the navigational directions for the navigational computer to do it  and calls for her relief to take her station::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::makes her way to the bridge and her ready room, realizing that Dog had followed her the whole time.:: Dog: Well...I'd say that was a fairly good performance. ::chuckles and gets herself a scotch::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: I`ll report to the XO

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: Place myself on report

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::checks and makes sure the crew are aboard and the air locks are secured:: Crewman BaIts: No one, I repeat, no one is allowed through any airlocks.  Anyone wants in, contact me ::at his quick nod she moves off and heads to the CO's ready room::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::when her relief arrives she heads for the captains ready room and takes a seat in silence::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:: Don't....

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: I`m sorry Owyn ::places his hand on his friend shoulder and lowers his heads as tears come unbidden::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sits down behind her desk, sipping a scotch and relaxing a bit...waiting for the crew to arrive::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves into the ready room::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::enters the ready room and takes a seat::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::watches the crew as they enter::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: stands off to one side as the rest of the crew enters::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::takes a deep breath and sighs:: CTO:: You should have come to me
 
Info: The Del crew is on board and rumors are already flying

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::wipes his face with his sleeve:: CMO: I miss her so bad Owyn

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::on the bridge, she moves over to Security and then OPS to tell them no COMs in or out until further notice::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:: Come on, we're going to be late, we can talk about this later

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: Aye sir

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
:;walks with the CTO to the ready room::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::composes himself and follows::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::At their nods she then heads to the ready room and enters:: CO: Captain.  Airlocks are secure and communications are down for the time

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::takes  his seat::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks over at OPS, FCO and CSO:: All: make yourself comfortable. ::sips her scotch as she watches the rest come in::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::Enters the ready room::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::watches with interest the CTO and the CMO as they are the last to enter::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::takes a seat on the couch under the picture she had given the CO to cover up the "bunny"::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Thank you, Commander.  ::sees that everyone is there...pushes a little button under her desk to secure the room::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::takes a seat next to his wife::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::stands by the door::
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: stands at the far end of the room::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: Well folks, that was fairly interesting.  Well done. ::raises her glass in salute to them::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::grins and nods at K'Beth::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks over to Owyn::  CMO: And if you ever scare me like that again I will kick your butt.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CSO:: I thought it was rather convincing ::grins::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
All: It might have been to convincing though.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles and looks around at them:: All: Too bad I can't give out medals for acting...they used to have some sort of award on old Earth...it was called the Oscar Meyer's or something like that.

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: Ma'am?  I don't understand.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CMO: And if we pull a good one leaving the station that should put the final touches on it.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::wonders who Oscar Meyer was then dismisses the thought::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: We'll have to replicate a few to give out after this mission is over with. ::grins::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Although I don't think we'll take up that line of work, Ma'am.  It was kind of ::pauses:: fun to do

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits listening::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
XO: Even though it was a ruse it was not an honorable thing to do.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::taps patiently at the PADD in front of him::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
FCO:: Lieutenant, don't think of it as dishonor thing of it as misdirection

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sits up, drains her drink and then leans forward on her desk...getting serious::All: Okay...now that the fun is over...we do still have a job to do.  From now on...we stick tot he story that we established at the tribunal.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
FCO: No, I agree. But it was a good way to release some anger.  ::inhales deeply:: I feel recharged

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO/XO: Security measures have been made

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Good.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: And the airlocks are secured.  All Communications are closed for now

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::nods at the XO::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Nothing goes out or comes in

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CTO: Have you established that the ship is clear of listening devices?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: I have asked the CEO to place some explosives on the docking clamps as well.
 
Info: An armed detail takes up position at the Del's airlock.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::gives the FCO a look:: FCO: Do I look like an amateur to you?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Right.  Not until we want it to

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CTO: No I do not but I wouldn't put it past Starfleet to do so.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: The ship is swept twice a day randomly

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: And remember...it is important that we only let the real truth out to those that it is vital that they know.  Make certain everyone you need to let in on it is cleared first through the XO and myself.  Understood?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
FCO; some of those could be used to our advantage.

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CTO: You are an excellent Security officer and for that I honor you.  ::nods::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks at the XO with a raised eyebrow::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Good thinking Lt.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::and simply shakes his head::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
All: We have had infiltrators before though so be careful.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CEO: We'll blow them as soon as we are done with this briefing

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Captain I believe we should lose our standard issue SF uniforms as well

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: So this mission is basically on a need to know basis.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  I'll make sure everything is ready.

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CTO: I couldn't agree more with that statement.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: Captain...what about the crew, those that don't know and are still "loyal" to starfleet?

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CMO: Maybe a hypo?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: I really don't think any one around here wants to see my hairy body that much. :: Grins::

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
::looks at the CEO::  CEO : This ship could run on a skeleton crew yes?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: Are you serious? force medicating people against there will?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: No...we'll keep our uniforms on for now...but with a few alterations.  To completely change over so quickly is not realistic...don't forget...many people on this ship...including myself have served for over 20 years...that is not an easy thing to discard.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Notices the raised eyebrow and looks at McQueen::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
FCO:  If we have to yes.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Understood skipper

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
FCO:: Umm, bad idea

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CMO: It was a suggestion not a fact.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
FCO::: Despite being Rebel, I will not forsake my Hypocratic oath

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: A bloody stupid one

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: Okay settle people...one question at a time.  I doubt, once it is known that all commendations and medals will be stripped from everyone in the crew...that there will be too many 'loyal' officers left.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: Especially if we make certain that they know we are standing up for them and protecting them as their senior officers.

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CTO: It may be a stupid one but a valid one when you look at the long term effects it will have on this mission.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Lt...hush

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: Yes captain.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: What about the newest crew, Ma'am? Do we leave them here or keep them on board?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::lowers his voice to a whisper:: OPS: What an idiot

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: just shake his head in agreement::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: We'll transport them onto the station when we pull away

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Understood

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands::  CO/XO: The station will try to stop us from pulling away.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: Go over your departments and anyone who you think would be trouble and would be loyal to Starfleet no matter what...give their names to the XO.  Sika...those will be transported off the ship.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO: That is why I had the CEO place explosives on the docking arms.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Thus the reason for the explosives that Lt Twelk cleverly thought of on the docking clamps.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: We should move everyone further in to minimize crew injuries when the station tries to stop us leaving

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
XO: I have the list here of those that are loyal to SF.  It is almost all of my department except for two people.  ::sadly hands Sika the PADD::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Nods at K' Beth and starts thinking of those who will need to be 'put ashore'::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: I will have my list to you shortly.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::gives the XO a look::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
FCO: Thank you, Lt.  ::takes the padd::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  I will get it to the XO shortly.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: I suppose you`d like to send them to a concentration camp while you’re at it?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: now there is one thing that will be distasteful...I need at least 10 people that will be ardently loyal to Starfleet to stay on this ship...we are going to use them as an 'example' for the rebels.  So each of you choose at least one person from the lower decks whom you can trust explicitly.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
XO:: I guess I have more pull in Sickbay than I thought...the only one that will give us trouble will be House

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: That leaves me and two other junior flight officers.  I guess I will have......::turns to the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods at Twelk, catches McQueen looking at her:: Self: do I have something stuck in my teeth?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: We will need House...I'll speak to him.

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CTO: I will not tolerate human insults.  I am doing what is asked of me and your taste in words is not honorable.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am with respect....any loss in sickbay will cripple my department by a considerable margin should things get dicey

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: Don’t try me Klingon, I will kill you three times before you hit the floor

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: medical personnel are more loyal to their crew than to Starfleet...

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves in between the CTO and FCO:: CTO/FCO: Enough you two

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: My point exactly

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CO: As I was saying I have two junior officers and myself so I believe I will be doing my own flight maintenance on the shuttles.  I also have one ....::ignores the CTO for the moment::  that I trust with my life that we can use for your example.  He is a fellow Klingon.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO/FCO: And both of you settle down now...or would either of you like to take me on? ::looks at them both sternly::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Yes commander ::takes his seat disgustedly::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO/FCO: Save it for what ever is out there

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
XO: You have my loyalty and my trust.

FCO_Lt_E`lor says:
CTO: We will settle this later now we have a job to do.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: Okay folks...we have a lot of work to do in the next hour. Each of you have individual details that needs to be ironed out.  The XO and I will be in here to help those out.  Remember....this is the ONLY place to safely discuss the truth of our mission.  Do NOT discuss it even among yourselves anywhere else.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: that's all...dismissed.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands and moves over to the CO::  CO Still need to talk to me?
 
Info: The Del sits docked to the station with a guard detail preventing anyone from entering or leaving the ship.  The crew makes ready to continue their ruse while the others on the station pass the rumors of a ship of cowards.  In a porthole above the shadow of a Klingon can be seen watching the ship.
