=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10706.10-"Mixed identities, part II"=/\=

The USS Elara is orbiting the Mururoa colony near the Cardassian border. They are surrounded by Klingon transport ships, ho are dangerously close as if trying to make a statement.

In the meantime, Lieutenant Tar is in whereabouts unknown, getting ready to meet Lady Serena

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::at his console looking for a way out between the Klingon ships::

Loree says: 
@::knocks on Tar's door::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::stops looking out of the window:: Door: Enter.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::in ME, checks the latest report::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Have you been able to identify the ship which brought Tar here?

ACTION: The Klingons make it harder and harder for the Federation ship to move. In fact if she goes much further she will hit one because they are stopped in space at strategic positions. Orbital control oddly doesn't say a thing

Dr Greene says: 
::In sickbay, running through inventories::

Loree says: 
@::smiles:: OPS: I see that you are ready. Mom is waiting. Come ::turns to go through the corridor::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::watching the Klingons via one of the tactical consoles::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Loree: Yes. I'm glad I got rid of those Klingon clothes. ::follows Loree::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
CO: I've managed to narrow it down to one of these two. ::points to the display:: the chances are it was this one going by the increased emissions round their shuttle bay doors.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Ok

Loree says: 
@OPS: And this is much better than your uniform too ::walks into a sort of lift, also very well decorated. Then she waits for the OPS to be safely in::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::after he enters the lift:: Loree: I must say this all is very confusing to me. First I'm abducted, now I'm here...

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: Get a transporter lock on the bridge crew of the ship identified by Mr Sollo and beam them directly to our brig

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: Aye, aye sir.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Sir?  Is that wise, the Klingons may become provoked...

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: I can try, until I am a fish, but I cannot get through. They are shielded

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: They should be

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: we are being hailed.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::stares at his CO for a second before going back to his console::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: On screen

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::wonders what will await him::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Putting things on screen:: CO: You have it on the mainscreen.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::twitches as he moves his chair in a circle reading the padd in his hands::

Loree says: 
@::pushes a button and the lift starts moving::OPS: It was lucky Ktor got you. My mother was looking forward to meeting you

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::gets ready to move the ship in a hurry::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Watches the interaction between the XO and the CO with evident curiosity, pleased he's not part of the problem this time around:: XO: Frustrating, isn't it, Commander?

ACTION: A Klingon appears on screen, the CO never met him before "I think you had something to do with the theft of a shuttle"

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CIV: We are well past frustration Mr Maor.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Klingon: I think you had something to do with the theft of one of my officers, lower your shields and surrender yourself

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods his head in acknowledgment of the XO's reply:: XO: Perhaps something good would come out of this yet.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::remains silent as he still tries to get things straight::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::makes a few changes on the padd, changes chair direction again::

Klingon says: 
::barks a laugh::COM: USS Elara: Then we both know something and have no proof. Hypothetically I could have an idea where your officer went if not to your ship. Hypothetically how could we cooperate?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::rolls his eyes at the back of the bridge and turns his attention to the viewscreen::

@ACTION: Tar and Loree enter a huge ball room with many women going about in colourful dresses. They belong to a dozen species, some federation, some not. At the end, a human female sits in a thrown-like chair

Loree says: 
@OPS: There she is, go to her. I will remain

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::looks furiously for a way out::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::eyes wide:: Loree: You mean it's her at that chair? ::is overwhelmed::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Sinks in his chair. Getting a bit afraid by such an expression of the face from that Klingon::

ACTION: Proximity alert sounds on the bridge as more vessels close in

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Klingon: My idea of you co-operate involves you sitting in a cell in my bridge awaiting trial.. unless of course you have a better idea?

Klingon says: 
COM: USS Elara: Be careful Captain, we do not want a navigation accident

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: More ships are closing in on us.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Klingon: Don't try my patience; I have no qualms with turning your obstruction into a pile of space debris

Klingon says: 
COM: USS Elara: Oh plenty. Your officer is of no worth to me. But she has information I need. That is all. Call me again when you feel like chatting

ACTION: Com is cut

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Clears his throat:: All: She?

Loree says: 
@::nods::OPS: Yes, address her as Lady Serena

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::nods and then walks slowly to the woman in the chair on the other side of the room and wonders why he's the only man in this room::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Closing down the comms connection.

Dr Greene says: 
::Finishes taking inventory in the main sickbay ward and heads to his office to check the ship's general status::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CIV: It's possible he means one of the previous hosts of the Tar symbiot.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: practically growls ::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
TO/FCO: Gentlemen, does our tractor beam have enough push to clear us a path through these Klingons?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::moves out of his office into ME::

@ACTION: The women giggle as Tar passes

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::feels not too comfortable now::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
XO: Ah. ::Nods his head in understanding, he turns his attention to the viewscreen:: Interesting.

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: Tar. Welcome to my ship. I have been looking forward to meet you and I must say you look much better than your old pictures

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Looking at screens::CO: I will have to check that, sir

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::hits his console::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
All: Anybody who has a good reason why I shouldn't tear down his shields should say so now

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: I take that as a compliment, Lady Serena, but have we met before?

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: No but my group was inspired by your previous host. Thanks to you, we exist. I want to offer you a place in my organization

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: If we manoeuvre efficiently, we can use the tractor beam to push them enough to pass

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::moves over to his CO:: CO: Because if those Klingons panic we could find ourselves in the middle of a very large anti-matter explosion.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
XO: Are we clear on our budget for a new ship, Commander? Last I heard they were focusing on the other ships on the fleet. I doubt our shields can handle a direct impact, especially if we're hoping to pursuit the other shuttle we've seen before.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::hits the PTT button:: *FCO*: Flight Control, Engineering 72, you should be getting the latest report on the engines momentarily. ::sends the report::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::frowns:: Lady Serena: Perhaps you can explain what organisation it is... I'm very confused about all this.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CIV: Who said we were planning to ram anything?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: We don't know yet that tar was on that shuttle

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
*CEO*: Sooner rather than later JoBrel.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*FCO*: JoBrel out

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
TO: Polarise the shield grid, let's give them a nudge.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: I think we do, it's obvious that he no longer has the Lieutenant.  Trying to pin the theft of a shuttle on us could only be because Tar stole it.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
TO: Belay that order.

Lady Serena says: 
@::gets up from her chair and paces around Tar, inspecting him:: OPS: We are the Invisible sisters. You helped steal the design for our ship when you worked for the trill secret services. We got our hands on it and here we are. We do ... commerce mostly

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO: Mr Sollo last time I checked you were not the Captain of this vessel.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Tweaking around some buttons and the computer, trying to polarize::XO: Yes sir, will stop working on the polarisation.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
XO: You're assuming we'll be able to push them all away, Commander? I believe we're quite outnumbered here, not to mention surrounded. ::Looks down towards his console:: Did anyone check if we can out run them? ::Checks something on his console:: Perhaps we could contact their leader and.. ::Looks up from his console:: ask for some details regarding the shuttle. Perhaps the two incidents are related.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: Or it could be a decoy to get us out of the way. What about the other Trill signatures we detected?

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: I never said I was commander but right now we're sitting ducks.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO: We are well aware of the tactical situation as well thank you Lieutenant.  Just sit tight and hold your nerve.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::wonders what crawled up the XO's backside this morning::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: I don't think this Klingon is intelligent enough to be that deceptive.  But I have to agree with Lt Sollo, we need to get out of this death trap now, before there is an accident.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
Self: If we don't handle fast, we get a new situation, ow boy.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: One of my previous hosts indeed was in the Trill secret services.

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: So you will be one of us?

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: I promise many ... ::runs her finger over his neck and solder:: OPS: Many delights

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: mutters slightly :: TO: Hail the Klingons

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CIV: We just need to push a couple out the way so we can squeeze through the gap ::scratches his stubble::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
XO:Yes sir::Working on the communications::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: Well, you actually didn't give any information besides commerce.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: Comms are open.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
XO: Can we please just question the Klingons some more instead of risking a diplomatic incident here, Commander? I rather talk my way though this for now.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::wonders if he can...... nope.... he can't::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::all is peaceful in Engineering:: Alia: Ensign, get me Ensign Ghanima.

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: We trade in decoration, furniture, exotic foods...many things, all of them amount to small pleasures. We will protect you from Ktor and in return you stay with us

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CIV: Just giving options Mr Maor, after all the Klingons are flying dangerously close, in direct violation of Starfleet navigational regulations.

Klingon says: 
::reappears on the viewscreen::COM: USS Elara: Fell like chatting huh Captain?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Klingon: In order to avoid excessive Klingon casualties - I am prepared to discuss how we move forward with you

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: And what do I have to do then? Your offer to protect me from Ktor is very appealing, but... ::sighs a little::

Alia says: 
CEO: Aye ::moves to Ghanima and passes the message::

Ghanima says: 
CEO: Sir?

Klingon says: 
COM: USS Elara: Very well. We go ahead, you follow us. We tell you to fire. You fire. We board our enemy and get your officer. After a few hours we return her

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: You have to ...enjoy your time here. And never return to Starfleet

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Ghanima: Ensign, take this down to to power distribution for me. Thanks.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Klingon: It's not much of a plan, but ok

Ghanima says: 
CEO: Aye Sir. I'll take it to Lieutenant Stilgar right away.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::his face goes pale as he hears Lady Serena saying not to return to Starfleet ever::

Klingon says: 
::barks another laugh and the com is cut::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Turns his attention to the Captain's direction, watching the Captain with shock:: CO: Captain, I suggest we question them more. Not help them destroy someone in what might be an internal power struggle.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: were not destroying anything, but they will lead us to Tar

ACTION: All the Klingon ships get into formation ahead of the Elara and power up

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::blinks at the Klingon::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Follow those Klingons

Lady Serena says: 
@::circles Tar again and kisses him on the back of his neck, then smiling returns to her thrown awaiting the answer::

EO OgaChaka says: 
::Watches the other EO's flock the CEO with evident sadness, he never gets to have any fun anymore with that new boss::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::nods and plots a course to follow the Klingons::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::makes a note to fire that useless EO OgaChaka who is bringing down the Engineering stats all by himself::

ACTION: The Klingons jump to warp

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::stutters:: Lady Serena: N...n...never return to Starfleet again...? But why do you ask that from me?

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: I want you with us and safe from Ktor

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO: How many Klingons total the crews of these vessels?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CEO* Report to the bridge

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: A lot, let me check.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CO*: On my way, yes sir-ree bob. ::heads out of ME::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Self: Who is Bob?

EO OgaChaka says: 
::Waves goodbye to the direction of the retreating CEO::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: Approximately 500, Commander.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Glances up from his console:: CO: Did you say something, Captain?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: You know what you're asking me to do? I can't answer your question with these conditions. ::feels very uncomfortable::

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: Then what conditions shall I arrange for you?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::turns back:: EO: Oh, I forgot, you're on waste extraction today. ::walks out::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: No, nothing

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Sir, I think we should be prepared to disable as many of these Klingon ships as possible and also prepare security to help protect whoever they are fighting against, if needed.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: My thoughts exactly.... clearly you have been hanging around me too long

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: The offer to protect me from Ktor is very tempting, but asking me never to return to Starfleet is too much to ask of me.

EO OgaChaka says: 
::Throws a random PADD at the direction of the CEO, only for it to crash against the ME doors as they close after him::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::arrives on the bridge:: CO: Sir?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
TO: Mr Boktor, while on route plot firing solutions into the tactical computer, make sure we have preselected targets of engines and weapons systems on all those vessels.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
All: When the time comes we are taking Mr Tar AND our Klingon friend home with us

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: JoBrel, see those Klingon ships?

ACTION: The Elara warps chasing the Klingons. Their path leads through a nebula

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
XO: I'm assuming we're not informing Starfleet about our progress for now, Commander?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Aye

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS. Then the answer is no?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CIV: I think Starfleet might like to know our position and situation.  Make sure they get the information.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: Pretty soon were going to need you to knock them out, shields, propulsion, the lot - preferably without firing weapons

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: It's all been quite confusing, but why don't you want me to return to Starfleet ever? Is there a special reason for that?

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: Once you are in my palace you cannot return to tell about it

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::watches the sensors as the ship enters the nebula:: TO: Check our shields

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Pretty big order, Sir ::moves to his console and starts devising an idea::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: nods in acknowledgement ::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::scans the Klingon ships to see if their shields are up or down::

ACTION: The Elara enters a pink nebula. the pinkest of pink

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::diverts his eyes from the viewscreen, afraid his retina are going to burn out::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: Shields are useless now.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
CO: The Klingons shields are also down but we still have full sensors

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
XO: How much exactly do you want me to tell them, Commander?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: An ideal place for an ambush...

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: Post security throughout the ship

ACTION: Quickly the Elara's buzzard collectors turn pink pink pink, but are still able to use the particles for energy and raw material

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: An ideal opportunity for me to get my hands on that Klingon

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Checking all security points in the ship::CO: Yes sir.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CIV: Use your initiative Mr Maor.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Calling several security officers and placing them on strategic spots::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Sir...the sensors show the Klingons shields are already down

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
CO: I agree with the XO, let's ambush them while their shields are down.

ACTION: Maor and JoBrel are beamed off the ship

#ACTION: Their badges fall to the floor

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Lady Serena: Then I have to say the answer is no. I'm sorry, but I can't and I won't leave Starfleet.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: That makes your job a lit......

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: Deploy transport inhibitors!

#ACTION: The CIV and CEO materialize in a small room with Ktor laughing at them

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::watches the CEO vanish:: Self: Aw dear god not again!

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#Self: A lit...a lit...a literary..no...a liter...no... ::energises::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CO: Yes sir.

Ktor says: 
#CIV/CEO: Now I have bargaining chips

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: You will change your mind ::waves her hand::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#Ktor: Do I look like a chip?! Salty or not, you'd better let us go!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Get a transporter lock on the Klingon and put him in our bridge

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO: Find out which ship they were beamed to

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Calling some reserve security officers, in order to place transport inhibitors::

@ACTION: Three big women take Tar away back to the lift. Loree looks sadly as they pass

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::catches a glimpse of Loree's sad face:: Loree: Sorry, she asks something I can't comply to.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
CO: Aye Cap'n. ::tries to get a lock:: I can't find them, they must be in that heavily armoured area of the ship.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
Co: Transport inhibitors are being placed now. I will update you on progress.

Loree says: 
@OPS: I never had a proper father. I wish ... ::looks down then joins her "mother" Serena::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
#::Looks around him curiosity, studying their surroundings:: Ktor: I'm trying to figure out what you're trying to gain here, uh.. What did you say your name was?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
:#:was on the brink of an amazing promotionary idea if only he hadn't been beamed out::

@ACTION: OPS is secured by the strong women who stay very very close to him while the lift goes down

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::feels the battle inside him between being and staying a Starfleet officer and being a father to Loree::

Ktor says: 
#CIV/CEO: I am Ktor. And I don’t care for you at the moment, except that if I don’t get Tar you are almost just as good. In a few minutes we can leave

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
CO: Captain, they'll be leaving the nebula in a couple of minutes if we don't disable them first.

@ACTION: Eventually Tar is left is his comfortable quarters and the door is locked

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#Ktor: Somewhere exciting, I hope. ::speaks with anger in his voice::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: I would love to believe me, but we don’t know where they are leading us yet

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Getting a message that all transport inhibitors are in place:: CO: Transport inhibitors are in place.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: Ok

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::walks over to the bed and sits down with his head resting on his hands, slowly tears begin to emerge from his eyes::

@ACTION; A plate of food and a glass of wine are on a table in the room with a note saying "not all your suppers have to be lonely ones", signed by Serena. Obviously he was expecting this

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
FCO: Well all I'm saying is that once they leave the nebula we will probably lose any guaranteed ability to disable those ships.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: hail the lead vessel

Ktor says: 
#::smiles at the CEO::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::opens a channel:: CO: Hailing now Captain.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::remains silent but watchful::

ACTION: FCO gets no response and the Klingons emerge from the pink nebula,. shields in place

ACTION: Soon after the Elara emerges as well

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#::turns to the CIV for guidance::

Ktor says: 
#CEO/CIV: Ah it is time. Entertain yourselves. I must go ::leaves and locks a door behind him::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::reads the note through his watery eyes::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#CIV: I guess now's not the best time for I Spy? ::growls:: Aloud: Dammit!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
#::Frowns as he feels another set of eyes on him, turning slowly, he gives the CEO a quick reassuring look before turning his attention back to the doors:: CEO: Find me anything that's not bolted in this room, JoBrel.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
CO: Now we're connected, now that they're out of the nebula.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::sniffs his nose and wipes his eyes:: Self: What does she mean with this?

ACTION: A single com is sent to the Elara, a recorded message by Ktor "now we can do business"

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Self: What do I have to do? Leave Starfleet and be a father, or not?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#CIV: Nothing here but the B.O. of the previous inhabitant

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::thinks:: Self: Bloody Klingons.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
#CEO: Right. Then I suggest you conserve your energy for now, Lieutenant. Plenty of time to be a hero later, I suppose. ::Walks around the room with no apparent goal::
