XO_Grant:
::On the bridge, sitting in XO chair::

FCO_Wall:
::in corridor heading to TL::

CTO_Psion:
::At tactical::

CO_Kemet:
:: in the RR staring out the window in a meditative state ::

OPS_Lynam:
::At station reviewing the supply inventory::

CMORevvik:
::behind Wall::

XO_Grant:
MR.Psion: is that distant ship following us?

FCO_Wall:
::notices Revvik, waits up for him::

CTO_Psion:
XO:  Aye sir.  I am attempting an identification scan.

CMORevvik:
Wall: greetings..

FCO_Wall:
Revvik: hey

XO_Grant:
CTO: acknowledged

CTO_Psion:
::Scans ship::

XO_Grant:
FCO: eta to Tangus IV?

OPS_Lynam:
:;Contacts engineering to prepare cargo for transport to the planet.::

FCO_Wall:
<FCODavies> XO: eta 7 min

CMORevvik:
::enters TL...turns to bernie::  Wall: bridge?

FCO_Wall:
Revvik: yes

CO_Kemet:
*XO*:  Grant what's our status?

CMORevvik:
TL: Bridge

XO_Grant:
*CO*: 7 minutes till we arrive at Tangus IV, and a sensor ghost that maybe is following us

OPS_Lynam:
XO: You don't suppose it's those pirates again do you?

CO_Kemet:
:: exits the RR to the bridge :: XO:  Sensor ghost?

FCO_Wall:
Revvik: you going on the away team?

XO_Grant:
OPS: I don't know

CTO_Psion:
::Scans sensor ghost::

FCO_Wall:
::TL comes to a stop::

XO_Grant:
CO: we have a faint sensor image that might be a ship following us at too great a range to identify

OPS_Lynam:
XO: How about if we increase speed and see if it follows us.

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Drop a sensor probe in our wake.  See if we can get an ID on the ghost.

XO_Grant:
OPS: we don't want to upset your cargo

FCO_Wall:
::enters bridge with Revvik in tow::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Aye.  ::Prepares sensor probe::  CO:  Probe has been launched.

XO_Grant:
CTO:pull up the file on the pirates from a few monthes ago

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Very well.  Let me know when you get a reading.

LtJg_Cray:
::Enters bridge and moves to science station 1::

FCO_Wall:
::quickly moves to his station, nods to Davies to relieve him::

CTO_Psion:
XO:  Aye sir.  ::Pull up files::

CTO_Psion:
*Computer*  Cross reference data gathered by probe with the data of previous encounters with pirates, stardates: 9911.01 to 9912.31

XO_Grant:
FCO: have we reached the Tangus system yet?

OPS_Lynam:
XO: Engineering reports cargo ready for transport.

CMORevvik:
::sits in the slightly smaller chair next to the 'big chair'::

FCO_Wall:
XO: aye approaching now

XO_Grant:
OPS: acknowledged

LtJg_Cray:
::Scans ship on similar course...still not close enough for identification::

XO_Grant:
FCO: drop to impulse

XO_Grant:
FCO: standard orbit

CTO_Psion:
CO/XO:  Sensor echo still following sirs.

XO_Grant:
CTO: acknowledged

FCO_Wall:
XO: aye ::drops to impulse::

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Anything usable from the probe?

OPS_Lynam:
CTO: Well if they are coming here we should get plenty of information on them on the way in.

FCO_Wall:
::begins standard orbit procedures::

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Are we ready for the transfer?

XO_Grant:
CO: As soon as Mr.Lynham is ready

CMORevvik:
::checks the medical suppies on a PADD::

XO_Grant:
OPS: take your team and security to cargo bay 3

CTO_Psion:
CO:  It is definitely not a cloaked ship.  That would rule out any Dominion, Romulan, or Klingons.

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Let's get this done as fast as possible, hopefully that ship that is following is nothing.

OPS_Lynam:
CO: The cargo is ready sir, I'm heading to the TR now.  With your permission I'll take Dr. Revvik with me to oversee the medical supplies.

XO_Grant:
COMM:tangusIV: this is USS Delphyne to drop off your supplies

CO_Kemet:
OPS:  Be on your way.

OPS_Lynam:
::Motions to Revvikk and heads for the Turbo lift.::

XO_Grant:
CO: I have no objection to dr.Revvik joining AT

CMORevvik:
::follows::

LtJg_Cray:
CO/XO:  The incoming ship seems to be Ferengi.

CO_Kemet:
CMO:  You guys be careful.

XO_Grant:
::Hopes that OPS takes weapons ::

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Ferengi?  That's all we need.

CMORevvik:
::nods to CO as the doors shut::

CO_Kemet:
Cray:  Hail the ship.

XO_Grant:
CTO: acknowledged, they might be planning a heist for profit

OPS_Lynam:
:;Thinks "Ferengi, oh great."

LtJg_Cray:
CO:  Yes sir!  ::Opens hailing frequencies::  Done sir.

FCO_Wall:
::thinks I take Ferengi over Jem"hadar anytime::

XO_Grant:
<TRchiefCargobay3>: hello MR.lynham , ready to go?

CO_Kemet:
COMM:  Ferengi Vessel:  This is the USS Delphyne.  Please identify yourself.

OPS_Lynam:
:;Arrives at cargo bay 3 and accepts a phaser from security::

CTO_Psion:
::Thinks why a science officer is opening hailing frequencies::

FCO_Wall:
::tracks ferengi vessol on his nav sensors::

Nicke_AGM:
<Ferengi> COMM: USS Delphyne , this is The Ferengi Trader Culpus....... what can we do for you?

OPS_Lynam:
TRChief: Let's do it chief, whenever you're ready.

XO_Grant:
<TRchief>::reads ok from planet:: engages controls dematerializing AT and Cargo

CO_Kemet:
COMM:  Ferengi Vessel:  Just checking in, you seemed to be on the same course as our vessel.  May I inquire into what business you may have here.

FCO_Wall:
::plots a emergency escape course and puts on standby::

CO_Kemet:
:: thinks about how much he despises Ferengi ::

CTO_Psion:
::Scans away team::

OPS_Lynam:
::Glad Jafo isn't there to report him for using the cargo transporter::

CTO_Psion:
::Notes that all members have transported safely::

CMORevvik:
@::rematerializes on the planet::

LtJg_Cray:
::Turns sensors to the sensor ghost following::

Nicke_AGM:
<Ferengi Vessel>COMM: so it seems captain. Are you saying we cannot be on the same course? If you must know we have business on Tangus lV

OPS_Lynam:
@:;Appears on planet and looks for a welcoming comittee::

XO_Grant:
:: thinks that is very convenient::

Nicke_AGM:
<Ferengi Vessesl>::continues on course::

CTO_Psion:
::Scans for hostiles::

CMORevvik:
@::looks around::

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: teh AT is met by a welcoming committee and techs

CO_Kemet:
COMM:  Ferengi Vessel:  I see.  If you need any assistance with anything please feel free to call on us.  Delphyne out.

FCO_Wall:
CO/XO: but it seems odds at the very same time as us?

CTO_Psion:
::No hostiles scanned::

CO_Kemet:
XO:  I want a good scan on that ship when it gets in range.  Call me suspicious, but I want to know what their cargo is.

OPS_Lynam:
@Locals: Hello.  We're from the U.S.S. Delphyne.  Somebody here order a pizza?

Nicke_AGM:
<Tangus Officials> Greetings.... 

CMORevvik:
@::looks at lynam::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Captian you have a message.  Shall I close hailing frequencies for the time being?

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Yes.  Is the message marked private?

OPS_Lynam:
@Officials:  Greetings sir. :;Holds out hand:: I'm Lt. Lynam.

Nicke_AGM:
@<officials>::extends hand... i've been told to show you to the warehouses where the cargo should be transported........

OPS_Lynam:
@Officials: This is Chief Medical officer Revvik.

CMORevvik:
@Officials: and I am Dr. Revvik

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Actually sir, I was attempting to close the frequency to offer the possibility that the Ferengi are rendezvouing with the inhabitants of the planet.  Perhaps they know something of our cargo.

OPS_Lynam:
@Officials: Lead on Mr....?

XO_Grant:
CTO: that is a possibility

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  I want to make sure that we know what the Ferengi are up to.

Nicke_AGM:
@Lynam: Sills

FCO_Wall:
ALL: my opion its no coincedent

OPS_Lynam:
@Sills: Sills.  By the way, are you expecting compnay other than us?

XO_Grant:
COMM:AT:MR.Lynham report your status

CTO_Psion:
CO:  They are traders.  We could attempt an onboard "negotiation".

Nicke_AGM:
@Lyanam: well there were some traders taht contacted the merchants about some trade.........think they were Fereengi

LtJg_Cray:
::Scans the echo...still approaching::

CMORevvik:
@::fereengi? hmmm::

CO_Kemet:
XO:  What do you think?

CTO_Psion:
CO:  The sensor echo seem to be slowing.

CO_Kemet:
XO:  We could board their vessel for an official inspection.

OPS_Lynam:
COMM:XO: All secure here sir.  We are moving the cargo to the warehouses now.  Mr. Sills, here, reports they are expecting a Ferengi traiding group.

XO_Grant:
CO: I wonder if the Ferengi are here to take this cargo, I hope Mr.lynham gets a valid receipt . That way we know whom to arrest

OPS_Lynam:
@Revvik: Will you make sure the medical supplies are properly handled?

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Make sure he knows.

CTO_Psion:
CO:  They would protest at that notion.  Ferengi are extremely suspicious and would not react well to our seeming invasion of their property.

XO_Grant:
COMM:At:Mr.Lynham acknowledged

FCO_Wall:
::maintains orbit, with minor adjustments::

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Perhaps you are right.  Do we have a sensor reading on their cargo yet?

CO_Kemet:
:: could really careless about how a Ferengi would react ::

OPS_Lynam:
@Sills: I believe the Ferengi have arrived in orbit.  They were close behind us on the way in.

XO_Grant:
CTO: do they have cargo?

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Their cargo is not registering on our scans.  It seem they are shielding themselves.

FCO_Wall:
CO: what about a safety inspection?

CO_Kemet:
Self: It figures.

Nicke_AGM:
<Sills> :nods::  well its no concern of mine..but i'll let the foreman know if he doeesn't already

LtJg_Cray:
CO:  Sir.  That sensor echo is maneuvering in what seems to be an orbit around the planet.

CO_Kemet:
ALL:  It appears that Tangus is expecting them.  There is no need for suspicion I guess.

OPS_Lynam:
@Security: You guys keep an eye out.  Where there are Ferengi there is a potential problem.

XO_Grant:
CO:very well sir

FCO_Wall:
CO: aye

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Just in case.  Keep sensors going.  Whatever they transport will have to go unshielded.  Or if they transport from our supplies I want to know.

XO_Grant:
CO: we could rig something to render the supplies inert if stolen

CTO_Psion:
CO/XO:  It almost seems as though we have arrived upon a rather anticipated situation.

FCO_Wall:
::runs simulation diagnostic on thrusters::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::Keeps lateral sensors locked on the Ferengi vessel::

CO_Kemet:
:: feeling bound by the rules and regulations of SF ::

OPS_Lynam:
@::Arrives at large warhouse::

CMORevvik:
@::arrives at the warehouse::

FCO_Wall:
::diagnostic comes up clear::

XO_Grant:
COMM: AT: MR.Lynham let us know when your cargo is safely tucked away

LtJg_Cray:
CO:  Sir...if I send a message to our probe...I could mask a self-destruct as a malfunction and the resulting burst should release enough energy for us to identify the echo.

FCO_Wall:
::runs simulation diagnostic on Impulse engines::

XO_Grant:
CO: I recommend we stick around after delivery to keep an eye on the Ferengi for a few minutes

CO_Kemet:
Cray:  Too overt, but a good idea.

OPS_Lynam:
COMM:XO: Aye sir.

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Make it so.

OPS_Lynam:
COMM:XO: say sir, would you beam down one of our special badges please.  I have a plan.

OPS_Lynam:
@:;Watches cargo going into warehouse::

XO_Grant:
CO: The engineers have those badges on hand.

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Make it so... :: feeling a little sneaky and smiles ::

FCO_Wall:
::diagnostic results come up clear::

XO_Grant:
ENG: beam down a modified comm badge see the Lynham/Leffler design

CMORevvik:
@::acounts for every piece::

XO_Grant:
*ENG*: down to Mr.Lynham 's location

XO_Grant:
<TRchiefcargo3> *bridge*: I have one ready

XO_Grant:
<TRchiefcargo3>::puts badge on transporter pad:;

XO_Grant:
<Trchiefcargo3>::engages transporter, dematerializes the badge::

OPS_Lynam:
@CMO: Put all the medical supplies together will you please?

CTO_Psion:
::Scans Ferengi vessels' power output of weapons and transporters::

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: Ferengin Trader orbits the planet

OPS_Lynam:
@:;Picks up badge and opens the back.  Fiddles with it for a minute::

FCO_Wall:
::sees that ferengi vessol enters orbit behind us at a 15,000km::

CMORevvik:
@::nods... looks up... hmm most of them are already together... spots a stray piece::

CTO_Psion:
::Scans for weapons signature from the anomaly::

OPS_Lynam:
@::Opens a medical crate and puts the badge inside.  Closes the crate::

CMORevvik:
@:::motions for someone to move it over where it belongs::

OPS_Lynam:
@:;Checks off supplies from PADD::

XO_Grant:
CO: if the badge should accidently raise the temperature of those supplies, well I understand Ferengi have sensitive noses

XO_Grant:
CO: noses for lost profit

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Let's institute a plan of action.  The Federation is not supplying this planet for reasons of trade.  If the Ferengi do get it, we will let starfleet know and sour the milk a bit.  Their noses won't like that at all.

OPS_Lynam:
@:;Watches the last of the supplies being stored::

CTO_Psion:
::Scans the badge::

XO_Grant:
CO: the lost profit should dissuade them from anymore stupidness

XO_Grant:
CO: and when Lynham arrests the warehouse workers they wouldn

LtJg_Cray:
::Maintains a weary eye on the echo::

CO_Kemet:
XO:  I would also like to know what they are trading for.

XO_Grant:
't want to do this again

OPS_Lynam:
@:;Compares the manifest with Mr. Sills' manifest::

FCO_Wall:
CO: with the ferengi it could be anything

XO_Grant:
COMM:AT: Mr.Lynham are you done ?

CO_Kemet:
FCO:  Yes, but if it is weapons or something, SF needs to know that.

CMORevvik:
@:::looks at lynam:: Lynam: all done over here...

OPS_Lynam:
COMM:XO: Nearly sir.  :;Nods to Revvik::

XO_Grant:
COMM:AT: Inform us when you are ready to beam up to the ship

FCO_Wall:
CO: aye

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Be sure you keep a lock on those comm badges.

OPS_Lynam:
@Sills: If you will just acknowlege receipt of your supplies sir, we will be on our way.  ::Holds PADD out to Sills::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Aye sir.

Nicke_AGM:
@<Sills> :;takes PADD and confirms receipt::

LtJg_Cray:
CO:  The sensor echo just seem to be content in orbit.  Maybe it's watching us.

XO_Grant:
CO: we could continue with testing of impulse and thrusters on other side of planet but within sensor range

OPS_Lynam:
@::Takes PADD from Sills and shakes hands::

Nicke_AGM:
@<Sills> ::returns the shake and thanks him::

OPS_Lynam:
@ALL: O.k. troops, lets go.  :;Heads outside::

CMORevvik:
@::rounds up the stragglers and heads out side::

OPS_Lynam:
@Revvik: (Quietly) Can you do a quick scan of these folks and make sure nothing funny is going on?

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Receiving telemetry from the badge.  It has yet to be beamed aboard the Ferengi vessel.

CMORevvik:
@Lynam: what should I scan for?

XO_Grant:
::reviews XO panel::

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Would we have grounds to detain the Ferengi if they are taking the supplies?

OPS_Lynam:
@Revvik: Just want to make sure they're what they appear to be.

CO_Kemet:
:: thinking of all the legal ramifications ::

CMORevvik:
@::pulls out tricorder and scans everyone... saves data in tricorder for later viewing::

FCO_Wall:
::maintains and monitors orbit::

CMORevvik:
@::nods to lynam::

XO_Grant:
CO: we would if Tangus IV authorities couldnot prove Federation had approved using Tangus IV as transfer point

OPS_Lynam:
COMM:XO: Away team ready for transport sir.  Mission accomplished

XO_Grant:
COMM:AT:Prepare to beam up

XO_Grant:
*TRchiefTr1*: beam up AT

XO_Grant:
<trchiefTR1>:*Bridge*: Acknowledged

CO_Kemet:
Cray:  Check Federation contract records with Tangus IV.  See if they are authorized as a transfer point for Fed relief materials.

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Away team is now onboard sir.

XO_Grant:
<trchiefTR1>::engages the controls to beam up AT::

CO_Kemet:
CTO:  Good.

OPS_Lynam:
;Appears in Tr1::

CMORevvik:
::materializes on the ship::

LtJg_Cray:
CO:  Yes sir.  ::Runs a reference check on Tangus IV::

CO_Kemet:
FCO:  Hold position then very slowly take us out of orbit.

CMORevvik:
::heads for the bridge::

FCO_Wall:
CO: aye

OPS_Lynam:
CMO: Check those readings will you doc, let me know if you find anything interesting.

CO_Kemet:
XO:  Please join me in the ready room.

CMORevvik:
Lynam: I am already on it

CO_Kemet:
:: stands and exits the bridge to the RR. :: CTO:  You've got the bridge.

XO_Grant:
CO: If we attack the Ferengi ship, note they are small but tough we would have to disable their engines in the first volley

OPS_Lynam:
:;Smiles and follows Revvik to the bridge::

XO_Grant:
CO: yes sir

LtJg_Cray:
CO:  Captain you will be happy to note that Tangus IV is not--repeat not--authorized as a transfer point.

XO_Grant:
:: gets up and follows Co into RR::

CMORevvik:
::enters TL::  TL bridge

FCO_Wall:
::waits a minute or two then engages thrusters::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Acknowledged sir.

OPS_Lynam:
::Arrives on bridge::

CO_Kemet:
XO:  :: shows communique from starfleet about Kem'et leaving :: I'm leaving the Del and returning to the Klingon empire.

CMORevvik:
::arrives on bidge::

CTO_Psion:
::Steps away from tactical and sits in Captain's chair::

CTO_Psion:
Cray:  Mr. Cray you have tactical.
