CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::stands up from his desk after receiving his latest orders and heads for his office doors::

Host The_Storyteller says:
ACTION: The Elara remains in orbit of the Paior homeworld, while the crew gets closer to solving both mysteries: how to save the Paior, and who's behind the break in.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::scanning for Romulan vessel::

Dr_Salina says:
::in the holodeck, alone looking at the holographic Paior and pondering::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::enters the TL::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
TL: Brig.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Pacing on the bridge, with security personnel watching. Wondering why his and the CO's transport to talk to Glupiec was cancelled. Something happened::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: is on the bridge ::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Finally gets fed up:: CO: Captain ...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Crying into her hands, while seated in the brig::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: Turns to Klamca ::Klamca: yes?

Dr_Salina says:
::watches as Greene returns to the holodeck:: Greene: What do you say we go to the Captain with what we have?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
::on the bridge, tacticilizing the tactically tactical console::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::hums a childhood tune as he rides the TL::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::looks at the scanning results and finds something disturbing:: CO: Sir, sensors detected some energy disturbances. The signatures indicates multiple cloaked Romulan vessels. I can't get an exact fix on those ships.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Expression looks worried at the mention of Romulans::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::on the Elara, near deflector control, thinking::

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods:: Salina: Yeah, at least we have something to work from... ::Smiles at Salina::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::taps his commbadge::*CTO*: Counselor Porter to Lt. Starbuck.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: keep tracking them as best you can

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
*CNS*: Yes counselor?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Aye Sir.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
*CTO*: I am on my way to the Brig, should I wait for you there?

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: I don't know how you go about making an appointment with him. Doesn't he have a secretary of some sort ... that Lt Tar?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
*CNS*: Please do.. i have something to finish here.. I’ll be there shortly

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
*CTO*: Yes sir, Porter out.

Dr_Greene says:
::Chuckles:: Salina: No, it's much easier than that... Watch this.... ::Taps his commbadge:: *CO*: Greene to captain Timrok..

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Slows down as he notices with XO, with a brief cough to get the Commander attention he stops and stands beside him:: XO: Commander. ::Nods briefly before glancing to where the Commander is. Something on your mind?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::informs all teams using the sensor arrays for scientific studies access to the sensors will be suspended until further notice::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: We were going to be departing to the surface. But that has been stopped ... what has happened? Why?

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::leaves the TL as it stops and starts walking to the Brig::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*Greene*: Tar here, Doctor, the captain is currently indisposed. Can I be of assistance?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::notes some of the "improvements" the engineers have made to the shield systems, chances are that they would be able to deflect any more "attacks" from the weapon.  Impressive work:: CIV: Always something Commander. Do you ever ask yourself whether these people deserve helping?

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: Ah so I was right, he is a secretary

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*Greene* Go ahead doctor

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: No longer necessary?!

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: What has happened?

Dr_Greene says:
::Takes a quick look at Salina, unable to suppress a smile:: *OPS*: I have some results I would like to discuss with the captain...

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
::notices that no one needs him on the bridge so he waddles of in the turbolift:: Turbolift: Brig

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods slowly, he pauses to gather his thoughts:: XO: Perhaps.. Perhaps a better question is to ask if we can even judge them. If I recall the terrans had the same faults in the past and has evolved past it. Perhaps we're giving them far too less credit then they deserve?

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::enters the Brig and nods to the Security Officer in charge:: Sec: Counselor Porter, reporting for interrogation of the prisoner. ::hands him the PADD to verify:: Lt. Starbuck will join me shortly.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*Greene*: I'll ask him to get to Sickbay to talk to you as soon as he is ready up here. You can agree on that?

Dr_Greene says:
*OPS*: Actually, can you send him by the holodeck... That way, we have an easier way of giving the information..

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::looks over at the force field and sees a woman in there, crying::

Dr_Salina says:
<Sec Scrity>::looks at the counselor as if inspecting every pore in him::CNS: Very well, you may wait outside her cell. Will you need any accessories for the interrogation?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*Greene*: That's where I left you I suppose. ::chuckles::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::looks at the officer angrily:: Sec: Accessories? What do you think this is, the dark ages??

Dr_Greene says:
*OPS*: Indeed... Thank you, Greene out... ::Looks over at Salina again:: Salina: I guess you were right...He actually is his secretary...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Looks up with tear stained eyes ad the shouting::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: looks at Klamca and thinks for a second :: Klamca: one of my officers was following one of your staff -Ewelin, we believe that individual is responsible for hacking into the Gorowac device, we were following her on the surface but now we have her here

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::puts his hands behind his back and shakes his head slowly:: CIV: No, I wont judge these people on the actions of a few, but I wonder if the Romulans would do the same.  If they have been crossed their retribution will likely be swift and bloody.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Looks shocked::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: Ewelin ...

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::taps a few buttons to limit sensor access from bridge stations and main engineering only::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Starts to look angry:: Self: Why that insipid, self-serving ... ::Speaking an assortment of Paior curses that the Universal translator cannot handle::

Dr_Salina says:
<Sec Scritny>CNS: I meant some extra chairs or a computer terminal ::looks sideways at the CNS:: CNS: Are you sure you are a certified counselor?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
::arrives on the deck of the brig and hastily moves to it while humming a tune::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::smiles:: Sec: I am, I apologize.

Dr_Salina says:
::smiles at Greene:: Greene: I know we haven't got rid of the side effects but apart from that I keep thinking on your CMO's comments of whether or not we should interfere

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: our investigation isn't finished however so it would be wring to make to many conclusions as yet

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
XO: Perhaps, Commander. Only time will tell, I'm afraid. ::Glances silently forward, allowing a moment of peace as he rubs a bruise he got from the fight earlier:: Do you have any idea how much time we have until we can leave the system?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Nods:: CO: I'm certain Glupiec has something to do with this. ::Pause:: You said the Romulans were here too now?

Dr_Salina says:
<Sec Scritny>::nods and goes back to his post leaving the CNS alone with Ewelin (who is of course behind a force field)::

Dr_Greene says:
Salina: As I said before, that is for the captain to decide.. Whatever his orders, I will follow them..

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::walks closer to the force field and eyes the woman:: Ewelin: Hello.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Gulps back some sobs:: CNS: Who ... w-who are you?

Dr_Salina says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Greene: Whatever his orders? See that is why I could never serve in Starfleet

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::listens half to the conversation between Klamca and the captain while increasing sensor resolution to scan for the Romulan vessels::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::turns and marches off down the corridor:: CIV: We will be here for as long as it takes for us to sort out this mess.  The Captain has said he will do something for these people, and you know what he is like.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: My name is Jeremiah Porter, this ships Counselor. It's nice to meet you.

Dr_Greene says:
Salina: That is of course providing they are within the scope of my oath..

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
::arrives in front of the brig and notices the CNS near Ewelin's cell.. he stays hidden giving the counselor a chance to talk with her first since she already saw the CTO and knows his... "occupation"::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Starts to get some of her resolve back, stands up:: CNS: Why am I here? What is the meaning of this?!

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: Nods to Klamca :: Klamca: As i understand it, they seem a little upset

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Crosses arms:: CO: More than likely ... ::Grumbles something about Glupiec::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: Ewelin....may I call you that? Well Ewelin, you are here because your people in collaboration with our people need you ask you a few questions....please, do not be alarmed. I am a Doctor, I have an oath not to harm or do ill. ::smiles::

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: But still, I am not sure I am capable of such loyalty to give my life for a crew

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> CNS: Do NO HARM!? I was knocked unconscious, kidnapped, and brought here! Where AM I?!

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Furious, moving closer to the force field::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: Please relax, you are on the Starfleet vessel U.S.S Elara.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: T-that ... man, is going to be the death of our world.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods absently, he walks beside the Commander:: XO: I suspect you had other ideas? ::Chuckles silently:: Perhaps you should head to the bridge and brief the Captain regarding what happened down there. Could save us some time. God knows that sooner or later someone is going to snap.

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: Couldn't we just talk to OPS then he can talk to the Captain?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: His quest to bring "the word of Kent" beyond our world ... ::Shakes his head in frustration:: The Romulans thought it was ridiculous, and in return, he must have stolen technology from them.

Dr_Greene says:
::Shrugs:: Salina: It mostly comes down to the moment.... ::Looks around the holodeck::

Dr_Greene says:
Salina: No, if we'd do that, the information may get distorted, and we don't want to give the CO wrong information..

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: that is one possibility yes

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::boosted sensor resolution with 144%::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods to Maor and reaches a TL:: CIV: Then we need to get this solved before they do.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Takes some deep breaths:: CNS: What is this about? What investigation? The break in? I had nothing to do with that!

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: Very well ::sighs and sits back::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Sighs, and turns away, speaking to himself:: Self: I should have known ... Glupiec had her sent there as a spy ...

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: That is what I am here to talk about.. if we just cooperate, we can get to the bottom of this. ::smiles genuinely::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Allows a thin smile to appear on his face, he joins the Commander on the TL:: XO: Bridge? ::Asks with a raise of an eyebrow::

Dr_Greene says:
::Takes another look over the data, trying to see a solution to the side-effects::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
::moves closer to the CNS:: CNS/Ewelin: Am i interrupting?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods to Maor::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Freezes at the sight of the CTO, remembering he was on the surface::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CTO: Sir, not at all. I am just getting to know our guest.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::notices the reaction to the CTO's presence::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Computer: Bridge. ::Grows silent as the TL slowly moves up, at least as slowly as TL goes::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: Well i think you know who i am and what is my position... Let's just get to the point... you have information, we need information, you will provide us with that information. Clear?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Fearful:: CTO: I don't know what you're talking about!

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::looks back at the CTO and motions for him to walks with him away from the cell::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: If i may ask, just what ARE Glupiec's motives?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: Let's take it one step at a time.. ::notices the motion:: .. think a little better about your... situation.. before I get back ::moves away for the cell with the CNS::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::walks away, so the woman can not hear them::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::rocks gently on his heels as the TL doors finally open and he steps out onto the bridge, surveying the scene quickly::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::nods to XO::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: I ... I have no real idea. ::Tries to think:: He pulled funding for most of our original scientific projects to find a cure for our ... problem.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
CNS: So..?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: Then he came up with this ... idea to contact the dead. To contact Kent. But I don't think he ever really expected it to succeed. But I've gotten the device to the point where it is possible. And that has surprised him.

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks up from the data:: Salina: I wish I could find more about these side-effects, what exactly is causing them...

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::sends message to the CO's chair to go to the Holosuite on deck 21 where Dr. Greene wants to talk to him about the results he got::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CTO: Sir...I understand it is your job to be all John Wayne… but this woman is fragile, we need to take this slowly. Threats are of no use.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::On a roll now, walking around the bridge:: CO: The project was to make him look good. But now if it succeeds ... it would make me, a mutant, look good. Maybe ... maybe he just could not handle that. Or maybe he was afraid it's success would draw the attention of the Romulans.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: notes the OPS incoming message ::

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: Genomes, especially humanoid genomes are a very complicated thing. Even to our computers its very difficult to find a modification that has no side effects

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: It certainly did that, :: waves the XO over ::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
CNS: If my method doesn’t work... your free to try your hand... she will be more easily persuaded to talk after seeing a darker side of Starfleet anyways... ::gets back in front of the cell::

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods:: Salina: Too bad really... I wish I'd have the computer power of a starbase, we might have more luck that way...

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::notes the CO's odd gesture and walks over to his side:: CO: Sir.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Self: Damn cowboys...::walks back to the cell::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::his communications console starts blinking::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Pacing around the cell, rubbing her arms::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: what news do you have on the Romulans?

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: these things take time, maybe if we just give them what we have they will continue the work. It seems a lot more rational than trying to bring back the dead

Dr_Greene says:
::Chuckles:: Salina: Agreed...

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
CO: They are out there sir, and they are not happy about having their technology "stolen".  Anything other than that, its all pure speculation

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::taps a few buttons and then turns to Klamca:: Klamca: Mister Klamca, there is an incoming message for you from Project Avalon.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: So... you used that genius mind of yours to remember some useful facts?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Looks up and over at OPS:: OPS: Oh? Where should I view it?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca/XO: what was stolen specifically?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Curses in Paior at the CTO:: CTO: I will tell you nothing! This is illegal!

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::crosses his arms and watches as the CTO starts the interrogation.....not approving of the method::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
Klamca: If the captain grants you permission you can take the message from his ready room. ::turns to CO and waits for acknowledgement::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: nods to OPS in agreement ::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: The technology provided to me was a series of generators ... subspace energy conductors ... subspace arrays ... things that could breach our normal means of comm. I didn't ask where they came from, although I had an idea. And assumed they were acquired legally.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: On who's world? You are on a Starfleet vessel... our space... our brig... our rules.. got it? Now.. who did you make that secondary profile for? We know you made it..

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: can you get an idea of how many Romulan ships are out there  -there size?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Starts crying again:: CTO: I don't know what you're talking about!!!

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::steps closer:: Ewelin: Please Ewelin, we know what you did...who ever you are protecting, is it worth your own freedom?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::presses a few buttons to redirect the communication to the ready room and steps from his console and guides Klamca to the captain's ready room:: Klamca: If you would follow me?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: Well then maybe you know about what where you doing at the Glupiec's place when we picked you up?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::There is silence, but a look of shock on her face, the tears streaming::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Nods and follows OPS::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: i want you to take over here for a while,i have to go see Dr Greene

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::steps closer:: Ewelin: Please Ewelin, I'm here to help. You can talk to me. ::stresses the word 'me'::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::enters the ready room:: Klamca: There's the console, just tap this button and the channel will be opened. I'll be on the bridge if you need me.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Sobs into her hands:: CTO / CNS: I-I don't know what your'e talking about ...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Nods and does so. Chief of Security Abian appears on the console::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: Yes sir.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: Tell me about the profile.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Screams:: CNS: WHAT PROFILE?!

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: ::softens up a bit:: Look... i don't enjoy this and neither do you... We can close to any answers at the moment... where you having an affair with Glupiec or something? Did you made that profile for a friend and didn’t know... this device can cause a lot of problem in this galaxy if used in evil means...

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
: exits the bridge for the turbolift and sets it on its way toward the Holodeck ::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Gasps and stares at the CTO:: CTO: I-I ... I ...

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: We need to know about the profile.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Sobs into her hands:: ALL: He was ... just so ... just ...

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: exits the Turbolift lift and walks off to the Holosuite ::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::looks over at the Sec. guard:: Sec: Lower the force field. :::not caring about the CTO's methods anymore::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::leaves Klamca in the room and heads back to the bridge where he accesses the sensor results:: ::notices the captain not to be on the bridge and turns to the XO:: XO: Sir, sensors have noticed an increasing amout of energy readings which could be more Romulan vessels. As far as I can tell from deduction there are at least three cloaked vessels out there somewhere.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::sits down in his chair::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Parts the TL as he begins making his way towards the shuttle bay, he remains silent until he reaches the shuttle bay doors. With a sigh, he waits for the doors to open before him before glancing up towards the control room, noticing the officer in duty up there. With a quick nod of his head he makes his way towards one of the type nine shuttles::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*Greene*: Tar to Greene, the captain is on his way.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Abruptly exits the ready room, looking frightened:: XO: Commander ...

Dr_Greene says:
::Still staring at the console::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: stops at the Holosuite entrance to check the situation inside before entering ::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
OPS: I need you to try and pinpoint their locations.  Work with Commander Maor, try to find out what class they are by checking the datab---

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: Who Ewelin? ::in a soft voice::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::stands and looks at Klamca:: Klamca: What is it?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Abruptly cries out:: CTO: Glupiec! The Primeverate! I didn't mean to sin! I know he is the leader of the Fellowship! But he was just so kind ... so ... so strong. I just ...

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::takes a deep breath as it hits him:: Self: Of course...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Almost pale in appearance:: XO: We have a problem. My Chief of Security just reported the Primeverate has arrived with a personal detail of armed forces at the Gorowac device.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> XO: He must know that we are onto him.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Looks at his world on the screen:: XO: We must get down there!

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Begins loading random equipments onboard the shuttle, he glances from time to time on the control room with caution, With a grunt he picks up a larger case and unloads it on the shuttle cargo space::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
Klamca: What does he intend to do?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: ::sighs:: Ok...ok.. just.. relax.. can we bring you anything?

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::looks back at the Sec. officer::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> XO: I don't know! Cover his tracks?

Dr_Salina says:
::whispers to Greene:: Greene: I guess that’s the big boss?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: almost reading Salina’s lips :: Salina: you could say that yes,   Greene: report!

Dr_Salina says:
::looks frightened at the austere looking man::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Shakes her head:: CTO: I just ... I just want to go home ...

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Pazoski to Timrok.

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks around at the CO:: Salina: Indeed... ::Speaks up:: CO: Captain, I have some data I'd like you to take a look at.... ::Presses a button on the console to display an overview of the data::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::starts wondering if he his invincible::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
Klamca: I take it your security forces will not be able to stop him.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: Were you...did you have a romantic relationship with the Primeverate.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: looks at the screen whilst answering the COMM :: *XO* What is it?

Dr_Salina says:
::interrupts:: CO: Essentially we have a way to solve the Paior genetic problems but it has some nasty side effects. Furthermore, we have doubts on whether or not we should interfere with their natural evolution

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> XO: The Chief would not dare order his men to open fire on them. His whole family, all their families, would be terminated.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: Once we figure out all of this i guarantee you.. you will be allowed to go home... i'm gonna make you a deal...we just need to find out about that profile and then i'll talk with the Captain to see if i can get you out... i wont promise anything...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Stares at the CNS:: CNS: Yes.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Salina: your doubts aside -what are the side effects?

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: What did you do for him....exactly...the profile i mean

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Enters the shuttle, he takes his seat and begins powering up the shuttle. With a quick glance at the open shuttle doors he hits a random switch and watches them close behind him. With a quick glance towards the shuttle screen he raises the blast screen and watches the interior of the shuttle bay from the view screen. With a glance up he open the internal communication modules:: *Bridge*: Commander Maor here, I need clearan

Dr_Salina says:
CO: Depending on the therapy chosen could be susceptibility to disease, other types of malformation. Its not clear if the cure is better or not than their condition. which essentially is that they are loosing reproductive abilities

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
*CO*: Sir we have a situation on the surface. apparently Glupiec has arrived at the device with an armed escort. Klamca wants us to intercept him to prevent him from doing... whatever it is he is doing

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> CNS: I don't know what you're talking about ... what ... what profile?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Sir, Commander Maor is requesting clearance for launch.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
OPS: What?  Where is he going?

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: You helped him....concerning the device, what did you do?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: Maybe someone used your access to make another profile without you knowing? Did you leave your terminal unattended with your profile logged on or something? We arent pointing fingers at you.. we just want to know

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CIV*: Bridge here, where are you intending to go?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: holds his hand up to Salina as if to shut her up :; *XO* We are hardly in a position to do that, it's not our place

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
*OPS*: Heading to the surface, Lieutenant.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Hears the CO:: XO: No! If he succeeds, then it's over! He will have gotten away with it!

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
XO: He's going to the surface Sir. I got him on the comm.

Dr_Salina says:
::frowns at the CO and glances at Greene::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::motions to Klamca to be quiet:: *CO*: I understand that sir, however we cannot guarantee that he will not fire the weapon again.

Dr_Greene says:
::Shrugs, not entirely sure what the worry is about::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*XO* If the ship is threatened then take whatever action is required, otherwise we can't interfere in an internal matter

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CIV*: I'm awaiting approval from the XO in this matter. Stand by.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
OPS: Find out why he wants to go there

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Tries to think:: CTO: No ... no ... I don't think so ...

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
*CO*: Understood sir. Pazoski out.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
XO: Aye Sir. *CIV*: What are you going to do down there, Sir?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
Klamca: I am sorry. There is nothing I can do.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: Tell me...the Primeverate...the time you two were together, did you tell him something you were not supposed to....or do something with the device? We need to know...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Looks hopeless::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Salina: you believe the "cure" as you put it is worse than extinction then?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> CNS: What ... what are you trying to insinuate? That the Primeverate is behind all of this? You're just as bad as Klamca!

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: Or should someone use higher profile to make another profile making it seem like you did? Just anything to incriminate you?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
*OPS*: I have a theory about the involvement of the Romulans, I carry a of an heavy equipment. Not something I could carry alone. But I would appreciate speeding things up, Lieutenant.

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks up at the CO again::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ewelin: Ewelin! We are here to help you...now it is up to YOU to decide if you want help or not....either way I need answers.

Dr_Salina says:
CO: I don't think anyone can predict that. Extinction by lack of reproduction or extinction by disease? ::shrugs:: CO: In any event, there is still the concern of whether or not we should interfere

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::Turns to the XO:: XO: Sir, he says he's got a theory about the involvement of the Romulans. I suggest you take care of this.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
CNS: I think i heard the Captain saying he needs you on the bridge... ::gives him a nasty look::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::motions to the OPS:: OPS: Give him clearance then, I'm sure he knows what he is doing.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CTO: Good ears...or hearing voices. ::gives him a look back::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CO: The Paior don't seem concerned Dr, so what are the concerns?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Salina: And I made myself a Doctor. Good, huh?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CIV*: Tar to Commander Maor, you have clearance for departure. ::instructs computer to commence launch procedures for the shuttle::

Dr_Salina says:
::shrugs not sure what to say:: CO: I ... thought you had a prime directive of some sort? Well, these are our findings, you should decide what to do with them

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> XO: I'm going to return to the surface ... maybe ... perhaps ... I can do something.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@ ::maneuvers the shuttle away from the shuttle bay, with a quick glance at the controls he powers the shuttle the 3/4 thrusters::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> ::Watches the CTO & CNS go back and forth::

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods in agreement with Salina::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::initiates a transporter lock on CIV Maor::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::shakes his head:: Klamca: I don't think that is a good idea, you are likely to get arrested, or worse.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Salina: To protect pre warp Civilizations yes, and i don't want your findings. Salina/Greene: I wan't your recommendation   Salina: If you can give them objectively

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> XO: If he succeeds in whatever he's trying, then I will get arrested anyway!

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::presses a few buttons to close the shuttlebay bay doors::

Dr_Salina says:
::shrugs:: CO: I think we should give them this information and let them decide what to do with it

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
Klamca: We don't know that he is trying anything.  What makes you so sure that he is?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Ewelin: So.. is there any way someone should frame you for this? Like changing your profile making it look like you did it?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> XO: Why else would he show up with an armed escort? He's NEVER taken random tours of the facility. My Chief of Security is concerned ... and I am going now! If you will not help, then I will not stay!
