CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
<Deave>CTO: Maybe? Any idea what else it could be?

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>CTO: We can increase to maximum sir and hold at 9.6 sir, but we can't tow Pez' ship at such speed.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Do they say why and what kind of equipment?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
Rien: Yes I know, what is the maximum speed we can tow Pez’ ship?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Not big on spicy foods I see...

Host Pez says:
CO: I see. ::takes a bread roll and stuffs it in his mouth::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Tries to smother a smile::

Host Pez says:
CO: Was surprised... that's all.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::holds up the whiskey glass to him:: Pez: Here, sir....this will make it better...try this.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::whispers back:: XO: You're right. I can think of a lot of other ways to spend an evening, right? ::giggles::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Offers him her wine:: Pez: Did you need more to drink ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Did you like them?  I do sometimes...

Host Pez says:
CO: Enough of this mousing around... what is it you want to know? ::Takes the glass from Clooney and grins widely at her::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::smiles::  FCO:  Right! ::kisses her hand::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Feels the second increase in speed and begins to worry about the tractor beam shear::

Host Pez says:
::Gestures at Clooney:: CO: This one I like.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Notices that the XO and FCO are making the most of this dinner;:

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
Self:  Poor Mia...

Host Pez says:
::Looks Clooney over carefully:: CO: Yes.. will do nicely.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::smiles back a bit weakly and then goes over and puts the decanter back telling the stewards to see if anyone wants seconds::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::drinks down the rest of his whiskey::  Pez: Alright...I have learn you have weapons on your ship going to the Cormanii...why?

Host Pez says:
CO: Because I've heard they will buy them.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::thinks finally the chat become interesting::

Host Pez says:
CO: To be honest... I'd like your company.

Host Pez says:
CO: From a distance that is.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the Ferengi's last comment::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Why do they need weapons?

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>CTO: Maintaining warp 6 sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
Rein: Very well

Host Pez says:
CO: Why does anyone want weapons?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
Moondoggie: How is the tractor beam holding up?

Host Pez says:
CO: I have a proposal.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Alright...I am willing to hear it out.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::edges over to the other side of the Captain and fills his glass, keeping the Captain between her and Pez before going over and sitting down again::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>::looks at the readings on Pez' ship and shakes her head::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Thinks they might have a chance to get near the Cormanii::

Host Pez says:
CO: Rest assured that all my trading items were honestly obtained.

Host Pez says:
CO: I would like to be the first to deal with the Cormaii and live.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::listens to Pez with interest::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Honestly...I would like that too.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
Self:  That doesn't sound like good odds.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> CTO: Holding on like a gum to the bottom of a shoe, sir.  She's not going anywhere.

Host Pez says:
CO: I suggest you let me continue on to the meeting place... with you and your ship staying back about 12 light years in reserve.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
Moondoggie: What about if we increase to warp 7?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  What do you have in mind?

Host Pez says:
XO: To get rich.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: Please sit down and eat, you've been fluttering around like a bird all evening.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>::giggles at Moondoggie's remark::

Host Pez says:
::ears begin to twitch::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  I meant what suggestion, but go ahead.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: I will allow this if I can counter propose something...

Host Pez says:
CO: Which is?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::gets a wicked idea:

Host Pez says:
CO: Why have we increased speed?

Host Pez says:
::looks at XO:: XO: What is the status of my ship?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> CTO: Well sir, like that would be stretching the gum pretty thin....might end up with only half of his ship left.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Looks at the captain.  Wonders what is next::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::nods::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
Rein: and I take it our shadows are still following us?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*CTO*:  Commander, what is our current speed and what's Pez’ ship status?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: I will allow this IF I can have 2 of my crew undercover go with you...along with 1 case of my finest.  You will meet with them, do your business and return back here.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>CTO: Yes Commander they are still with us.

Host Pez says:
::Leans back in chair and looks over the officers::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at him and smiles:: EO: Sorry Ian....just making sure that everything is done right.  ::picks up her roll and nibbles at it again:: See...I'm eating. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: They will gather much needed information of the Cormanii first hand.  You will also help protect them if anything goes wrong.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Looks back at Pez.  Wonders if he'll go for it.  Wonders which two crew::

Host Pez says:
::looks carefully at the females::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: No females this time...stick to business.

Host Pez says:
::Points at the EO:: CO: Him...

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Alright...and my first officer.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*XO*: Warp 6, and to quote Moondoggie "Holding on like gum to the bottom of a shoe"::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::looks over at Ian and smiles::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Almost spits his drink out:: CO: Me Sir!?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::turns wide-eyed at Ian::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::grins:: *CTO*:  Understood.

Host Pez says:
::hears Krag's comm:: XO: Warp 6?  Trying to destroy my ship?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez: It's holding just fine, don't worry.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Smiles at the Captain at that remark::

Host Pez says:
::Points at the XO:: CO: And him.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::sets her fork down, hoping to keep room for dessert::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO/Pez:  I'd be delighted to go.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::grabs Mackie's arm:: XO: Noooooo, not again!

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Takes another bite, wishing they could have found out more about the Cormanni::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Easy, sweetie.... everything will be fine.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Takes a deep breath and looks from the Captain to Pez and back::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*CO. XO*: We are currently begin followed, I have increase speed to a maximum while towing Pez ship, we need to either let his ship go, or beam over a team to pilot his vessel to avoid our shadows.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: I want you word you will not reveal their true identity.

Host Pez says:
CO: I'm sly not stupid.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::reaches under the table and grabs onto the EO's hand and holds it tightly as she looks at the CO and Pez and then back to the EO::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Wishes she could go::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*CTO*: Can you identify who is following?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*CTO*:  Who's following us?

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Doesn't know if that's a good idea.  Pez seems like he would squeal on a dime::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
XO: But Mackie, I can't stand to be away from you again. ::hangs on to him tightly::

Host Pez says:
::Looks up at the new comm:: CO: That isn't good.

Host Pez says:
::stands:: CO: We need to go now!

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Do you know who is following us?

Host Pez says:
CO: No... We’d best hope it is not the Cormanii.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO/EO: Get ready to go with Pez.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*CO, XO*: Unknown, vessel on aft port and aft starboard, Intel reports no Klingon or Romulan vessels in the are; possibly whoever destroyed Captain P'Sant’s vessel

Host Pez says:
CO: You should be able to scan their ships if it is.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Looks at Mia and returns the squeeze not knowing what to say::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Aye sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::looks at the Captain and then at the XO::

Host Pez says:
CO: I haven't heard they had gotten cloaking technology... yet.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*CTO*: Have Pez' ship ready to depart with Commander MacLeod and Lieutenant Cerdan on board.  Have them tagged with a special frequency we can track them.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO: Then we should leave as soon as possible.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::smiles tightly at the EO and whispers:: EO: Be careful....and do what Pez says...he's a survivor and knows how to stay alive.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO/EO: Good luck gentlemen.

Host Pez says:
XO/EO: Change clothes... civilian.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*CO*: Aye sir should I have a security team join them?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*CTO*: No... just them.  Get them what they need ASAP

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Tries to reassure her:: OPS: Don't worry I'll be fine.

Host Pez says:

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*CTO*:  Time to interception?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*XO*: Six days.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Watches Mia and Cassie, glad it's not the Captain going::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Stands:: Pez: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
FCO:  I love you too, dear...  take care of everything until I'm back, will ya?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: Truly as a person who has known you for awhile now...take care of my crew and good luck.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
CO:  Do you think they will be alright?

Host Pez says:
CO: I will Captain.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: I will hold you to that.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*CO*: Aye sir, shall I equip them with Klingon gear, as I take it they going under cover?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*CTO*: Give them what they need as not to be recognized as any doings with Starfleet.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
XO: Of course I will, but you be careful. I don't want to be a widow before the honeymoon is over.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::stands::  FCO:  You won't be.  ::kisses her::  Gotta change now and get some supplies.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*CO*: Acknowledged .::sends Laws to get them what they need::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::gives him a bright smile:: EO: I know you will....you still owe me a walk on the beach.  ::gives his hand one more squeeze and lets go, standing up and pushing her chair back from the table::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: I'll be waiting for that. ::Smiles::

Host Pez says:
CO: Stay on this heading... but behind me.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*CTO*: Have Pez' ship ready to launch within the hour.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*CO*: Aye Sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::stands as well:: XO: Come back soon my love. ::smiles::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
CO: Does Pez have good medical personnel on his ship?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CMO: Not sure, but not risking anymore than them.

Host Pez says:
CO: My max warp is 7... Should get to rendezvous in 16.48 days.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
Rein: Find a nice quiet spot to drop out warp, in about an hour.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>CTO: Aye sir.

Host Pez says:
CO: It's simple Captain... either we all get out or we all die together.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: I have seen a lot of death recently...not anymore.  We get out.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Sir...I'll get the case of your finest for our guest.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
OPS: Make it 2 as a good gesture.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::nods to the CO and then turns to Pez:: Pez: Sir, will you be needing any other supplies?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  I'd rather the first option.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Steps closer to the XO:: XO: A word if you don't mind.

Host Pez says:
CO: Thank you O'Mallory.
OPS: No... I have all I need.

Host Pez says:
::looks her up and down again:: OPS: Then again.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
EO:  Go ahead.

Host Pez says:
CO: I'll be waiting on my ship.

Host Pez says:
::moves toward the door::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: My friends call me Doc. ::smiles a bit::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Whispers:: XO: Sir, should I pack any let’s say any extras as it were sir?

Host Pez says:
::turns and looks up at Captain:: CO: Ah yes...Doc.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
EO:  Extras?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::blushes again at Pez' look:: CO: If you will excuse me sir, I'll get things ready for the away team.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO/EO: See Commander Krag for what you need before getting on Pez' ship.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Looks down at Pez, hoping he can be trusted::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>::locates a small gas anomaly:: CTO: Commander there's a small gas anomaly close by  our course. I could drop from warp there.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Aye sir.  We're on our way.

Host Pez says:
CO: I suppose I should wait in my quarters until everyone is ready?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
Rien: Good.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: You know sir, in case we need a plan B sir.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
Pez: You will be ready within the hour.

Host Pez says:
::over hears the EO:: EO: Plan B is to run like hell.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::Prepares a decoy probe:: FCO: Execute a change in course on my mark.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
EO:  I see.  Do it, and hope we don't need it.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
<Rien>CTO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::sees that the decoy is ready:: Rien: Mark. ::fires decoy::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::looks longingly at her husband::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> CTO: Sir...I wouldn't make too abrupt a change....might lose the ship we're towing...we're going pretty fast right now.
