OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: still working on getting a piece of he runabout off for a shield::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: pokes his nose around the crate::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::looking down the tunnel:: OPS: When you get that shield ready, start moving down the tunnel towards that aux tunnel.

Action: A shot bounces off the crate in front of the CTO, destroying his ever present Cuban cigar

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Keep two of your men here with the XO.  I want them to fire a low power shot every so often down the tunnel to make them think we are still here.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: I have just gotten one loose::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Aye captain :: motions for two Marines to stay with the XO::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
Self: D`oh

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: moves out with the shield in front of him:: CO: Moving out now Captain.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::motions for the CTO to move out after Twelk along with his men:: CTO: Move out McQueen.  I'll be right behind.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: moves out ahead of the Captain::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::speaks quietly to the XO and then follows behind McQueen and his men::All:: ::in a quiet voice:: Let's do this as quietly as we can.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
::moves down the tunnel as quietly as possible::

Klingon guards says:
::In Klingon but broken due to the UV still refining itself:: Outloud: Bring the heavy.....to the front..........charge time for the weapon will.....

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: slowly inches his way forward, eyes looking down the shot guns barrel::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::hears that and motions them to hurry::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: doesn't like the sound of what he is hearing and moves a little quicker hoping that everyone can keep up::
 
Action: A large disruptor pulse comes down the tunnel striking the shield and knocking everyone back a few steps.  The round bounce back up towards its launch point.  In a brief flast Klingons in Samurai looking armor can be seen

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
All: So much for quiet lets move it.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
:;staggers a bit but keeps to her feet, checks that everyone is all right and moves forward again behind the others::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: has a second look:: CO: Interesting dress sense

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::keeps moving forward::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Very quaint.  how much further to this side tunnel?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: They get a second shot with that weapon and the last thing you will need to worry about is how they are dressed.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Couple of more meters Captain

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::keeps going forward::
 
Action: Another round can be heard bouncing down the tunnel

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: let's push as fast as we can for it, now!

Marine says:
:: pops up from beside the XO and fires a round down the tunnel::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: makes  a couple of quick steps to the tunnel and move to t he other side:: CO: Captain get everyone in now I will try and shield us as long as I can

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: follows Twelk::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: get them in now, McQueen and sweep this tunnel. ::hurries up next to Twelk::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: braces himself against the shield as everyone get in the cross tunnel::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::helping to hold the shield:: OPS: As soon as the last one gets in, we dive for that tunnel.  Got it?
 
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Just make sure you are moving as quickly as I am Captain.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::chuckles:: OPS: I'll be so close I'll be wearing you like a fur coat.
 
Action: Just as the CO gets in the side tunnel the disruptor round passes them, strikes the runabout and ricocheted back up the tunnel.  A second or two later there is a huge explosion at the far end of the tunnel.  The shockwave knocks the away team flat.  But then once the ringing in the away teams ears subsides, there is only silence in the main tunnel where the shots were coming from

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::falls flat and then looks up and shakes her head to clear the ringing in her ears:: All: Hold here a moment. ::pokes her head out of the side tunnel to look, ready to jump back::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: gets back up checking to make sure everything is intact and listens down the tunnel:: CO: Captain I think those idiots have succeeded in shooting themselves.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::picks himself up & dusts himself off::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: I think you are right.  Do you have a tri-corder?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::checks his men::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: hands her his tri-corder::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::takes the tri-corder and pokes it down the tunnel towards where the Klingons were::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::holds his hand to his side and mumbles under his breath::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Ty anything down that way :: point down the tunnel that they are in::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS/CTO: It looks like they are all dead.  Come one...follow me. ::heads cautiously down the tunnel towards the dead Klingons::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: follows the Captain::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::moves towards the Klingon position weapon up and ready::
 
Action: The smoke makes it harder to breath but there are the remains of 5 (estimating by bits- o- Klingon count laying on the floor) dead Klingons around a destroyed photon cannon

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::comes across one body and checks for life signs, shakes her head and moves on, coughing in the smoke::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: nudges a body bit with his boot::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: takes in the scene:: CO: Well Captain I don't believe that they were exactly the ripest apples  on the tree

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: let's hope the rest are just as stupid.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
All: Check the area.  I want any weapons they have and find us a route out of here.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: begins the process of policing the bodies for Intel and weapons::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: hears the comm. panel:: CO: Looks like we have some more around somewhere and they evidently have no idea how bad it is here.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::checks the blast doors:: CO: One of the doors is damaged captain

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::looks over the damaged door::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: watches the Klingon on the COM panel:: CO: Want to respond to him Captain?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::goes up to the comm. panel:: OPS; looks like they have no visual down here.  ::chuckles:: I doubt any of us could imitate one of these guys.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: be prepared for someone to come along and investigate down that corridor.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Either way they will be on their way shortly.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: See if you can patch into their computer system from here.  Let's figure out what is going on.
 
Info: Each Klingon had a side arm.  Very old design Klingon disruptor, 3 of them seem to be functional

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: nods and motions for two men to take up forward positions::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain I need my tri-corder back please.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: picks up a disruptor and examines it:: ALL: Antiques, these should be in a museum

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::hands him the tri-corder:: OPS; Sorry about that

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Thanks Captain. :: starts patching into  the Computer system::
 
Info: It is taking time to hack the computer, not because of security but because the system is so old the tri-corder is have trouble

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Welcome to pre-history

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: I am in Captain however this will take a little time as this system is so old the tri-corder is having trouble reading it.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS; Do your best.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Any sign of activity?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: holds a tri-corder up and scans the area::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Something in the shadows now and then but other than that nothing skipper

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: watches the Data as it is being downloaded::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: This is interesting. There has been no outside computer traffic here for over 20 year until 6 days ago.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Let me guess, our friendly kidnapping Klingon paid them a visit?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Looks like it.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
ALL: So that begs the question where do these antiques fit in

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Can you tell what he did?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: And guess what the clown did Captain? He dressed up in Hur`q armor and then praised them told them that there was one more task that they had to do to regain their honor. and bet you can't guess what that task was?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: looks over the equipment:: ALL: looks like someone took a picture of time and froze it

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Is there any way that you patch into their communication systems, using his image?  I think they could use a different set of orders. ::grins::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: To protect the base from us and if we managed to take the sacred item that they would never regain their honor.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: looks up at the Captain:: CO: Your truly evil Captain

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: I can try Captain. Also here is a picture of the sacred item. I have no ideal what it is and there is no record of it either

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Who me?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Don’t play coy with me yes you are

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the reading again:: CO: Problem Captain. While I can create the image I can’t recreate the voice with the tri-corder.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::looks at the picture:: OPS: That's the pedestal that used to hold Kahless's sword.  It's worth a lot to some Klingon sects.  this must be one of them.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Then I guess that is what we will need to get to move to the next part of this little fiasco.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::looks down at the face on the ground:: CO: Skipper check this blokes face out
 
CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::kneels beside the body and moves the head:: Self: I`ll be buggered

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: What is it? ::looks down at the CTO::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Captain he look familiar?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: looks to see what the CTO is referring to ::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::shakes her head:: CTO: No...should I know him?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: look closer cant you see the family resemblance?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: ::looks closer:: Looks a little like K'Vas, I guess.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::squints at the body and tries to picture K’Vas lying on the ground like the corpse:: CTO: yeah...there's a resemblance.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: A little, this bloke looks like similar to the Admirals father Malok, maybe a few generations back but the semblance is there

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: What are you thinking a long lost relative?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: I would be the farm on it, but it wouldn’t surprise me

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Hmmmm...I'm not sure we should mention the fact that the Admiral's third or fourth cousin twice removed was stupid enough to blow himself up.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I believe this guy is getting a  little upset. Any suggestion?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::smiles:: CO: maybe intelligence skipped a generation

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Not if we want to stay on his good side that is.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: have the image tell them that the situation has changed.  They are to give up the item for it's safe return to the homeland and await for a Klingon ship to take them to where their honor will be restored.  We'll contact the Klingon high Council when we get back onto the Del.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Also it could be that they have a limited breeding pool down here.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Maybe we should keep this little tid bit to ourselves for when he locks us up for drunken and disorderly next time were on shore leave

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain I will try but am not sure it will work.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Can you alter my voice to sound similar to theirs?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: I can muddle my way through with the universal translator.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: I will do the best I can maybe with a little static in it we can pull it off.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Well, we have no choice.  Tell me when you are ready.
 
Action: The Klingon on the display is obviously upset about being ignored.  OPS will have to work quickly to pacify him before the guards standing behind him are dispatched to the area
