=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10711.11- "Do Starship computers dream of electric sheep?" Part VI =/\=

The USS Elara still waits outside the White Sheep Nebula with the Sagres and the Paris. Engineers and medics were beamed aboard to aid in repairs but Starfleet is still reluctant to accept the vessel back at the Starbase. The Admiral is on his way.

Meanwhile, a message came in from the nebula informing the Elara that Captain Timrok will be killed if they do not re-enter alone. Little more than 10 minutes remain on the tachyon countdown. As this continues, the suspects seem unwilling to talk.

=/\= =/\= =/\= Resume Mission =/\= =/\= =/\=

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Bronson: Nice of you to come over and assist. It's been one of those days all week.

ACTION: Along with the Enginners and medics from the Sagres, Captain Wall is also returned to the Elara until it is clear who let the ship leave dock without permission

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::in the interrogation room thinking as the XO questions the vulcans::

Lt Cmdr Bronson says:
CEO: To be honest it is still not clear whether or not you are at fault here .... I am here only to restore your warp drive

Capt Wall says:
::on bridge of the Elara::

Dr Sulvok says:
::In the brig, waiting::

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Bronson: Me? On a personal level you mean?

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Hovering over the Elara's emitter with her companion, chatting among themselves::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Messes with the emitter with her trusty spanner::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::suddenly realises the XO isn’t here anymore and thinks fast:: Self: Where is Newberry?

OPS Lt Tar says:
::on the bridge, rerouting power to where needed::

Lt Michael Newberry says:
:: walks into the brig looking for the CTO ::

Dr Sarmok says:
::remains in the questioning room with is companion waiting::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::walks into the brig and steps over to the cell containing Dr Sulvok:: Sulvok: What do you want?

Lt Cmdr Bronson says:
CEO: Oh no by any means, I do not know you. But your whole crew is a suspect

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: let me ask you something, it's nothing to do with why you're here, I'm just curious... what are your views on time travel?

Lt Michael Newberry says:
*CTO* Where about are you?

Dr Sulvok says:
XO: Ah.. You again... I would like to know why we are held in these rather inadequate quarters... Someone failed to tell us when we were taken in.. By force...

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: My views are published

ACTION: The OPS console keeps beeping with the binary countdown, now down to 500

CTO Lt Sollo says:
*Newberry*: Room 1 Mike. ::raises his eyebrow in a far more vulcan way than humans are meant to:: Sarmok: Published? I don't think I've read it.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Bronson: Well actually the Vulcans are the main suspects.

OPS Lt Tar says:
*XO*: 500 seconds remaining.

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: A flaw you should correct

Lt Michael Newberry says:
:: walks into the interrogation room :: CTO: Good to see you again Mr. Sollo

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
Sulvok: You are being held because we have evidence that you planted a virus into our computer system, which led us into this nebula where some of our crew was kidnapped and the ship attacked.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::looks at the viewscreen where the countdown timer is displayed::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: maybe I will, but if you could sum it up for me I'd be grateful.

Dr Sulvok says:
XO: We... What?

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: I am afraid you don't have the time

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
*OPS*: When the countdown reaches 100 take us into the Nebula, tell the Paris they are not to follow unless we specifically ask them to.

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Looks around a the bridge for a while.  Staring into nothing, then starting to scan the surroundings again.::

Capt Wall says:
::glances around the bridge of the Elara and thinks yeah the Paris is nice but he misses this ship, despite its challenges::

ACTION: The viewscreen shows the silent countdown which seems to be exactly how many seconds Captain Timrok and 46 other Elara crewmembers have unless the ship returns to the nebula alone

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: How do you know how much time I have?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::rubs his forehead:: Sulvok: Doctor I really don't have time for games, in about 300 seconds we are going to return to the nebula, I need to know who we are up against.  I need to know now.

Lt Cmdr Bronson says:
CEO: I wasn’t informed of a hearing yet. In any event, I am only here to help with basic repairs as I told you. Where my team is most needed? I hear your warp drive is not working

OPS Lt Tar says:
*XO*: Aye sir. Tar out. ::taps his console and sends the message to the Paris::

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: Not enough. Look, your friend is there

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Bronson: Well we're nearly done with that - Yellow informed me the engines were repaired. I'm sure your help there though could speed that up.

Capt Wall says:
::glances at the viewscreen, wonders who the hell is behind this sick game::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Newberry: Ah Michael, mister Sarmok here was about to explain why I have time to read an article that he has published but I don't have time for him to sum it up.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: I think you have some explaining to do.

Lt Cmdr Bronson says:
::nods to the CEO and moves with the team from the Sagres to the engines area::

OPS Lt Tar says:
::remembers how much Jo'Brel wants to be informed and taps his badge:: *CEO*: Tar to Jo'Brel, we're going back into the nebula in about 5 minutes.

Lt Michael Newberry says:
CTO: Well I would think if you have time to read it, he should definitely have time to sum it up. Now Why don't you get started Mr. Sormok.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
::slumps back in his chair with the repair details::

Dr Sulvok says:
XO: I know nothing of this! Honestly, I was sent here to look into your computer systems, specifically the efficiency with the procedures you have in place... I know nothing of this... Virus...

Dr Sarmok says:
Michael Newberry: I've nothing to add without a legal representative

OPS Lt Tar says:
::receives acknowledgement from the USS Paris::

Lt Michael Newberry says:
Dr. Sarmok. That is why I am here. I am now your legal representation.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::grins from ear to ear::

OPS Lt Tar says:
::including the notification the message will be sent through to the Sagres::

Dr Sarmok says:
Newberry: You are a Starfleet officer ::thinks that is self-explanatory::

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
::walks out of his office:: Engineering Staff: RIGHT! The post is up, place your bets on how long our repairs last this time!

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::lowers the brig force field and throws a padd at Sulvok:: Sulvok: Then how do you explain this evidence that we have? Doctor if you want out of here I will need to know what you know immediately, otherwise you and Sarmok will spend the rest of your lives in a federation penal colony.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Newberry: He's stalling for time, whatever he's done must be time sensitive.

Lt Michael Newberry says:
CTO: I would agree.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Newberry: Have you ever known a Vulcan to be suicidal?

OPS Lt Tar says:
::receives a incoming hail from the USS Sagres and opens the comm::

Lt Michael Newberry says:
CTO: The question being what is going to happen when the time runs out. I have sworn to represent this man, and so I shall. No, I have not but I'm sure its not unheard of.

Captain Anderson says:
COM: USS Elara: You are to stay where you are until Admiral Swan arrives. If you move we will stop you

Dr Sulvok says:
::Catches the padd and takes a look at the contents:: XO: What!? Those treacherous..... ::Looks up at Pazoski:: I am sorry commander, I honestly know nothing about what my... Colleagues.... Have done here... ::Holds out the arm with the padd:: I would help you if I could, after all, that was my mission on the Elara... To help you improve your efficiency..

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: Then you must be trying to hand this ship over to someone... who is it? The orions?

OPS Lt Tar says:
COM:USS Sagres: Captain, I know that those are your orders, but we have a responsibility to rescuing our crew. We're about to go into the nebula and we need to go alone to save our captain and other crewmembers.

TO Ens Boktor says:
All: Countdown is at 200!

OPS Lt Tar says:
::nods to the TO:: TO: Inform all departments we're about to go in.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Glances up from his PADD, giving her surroundings a quick inspection:: 0101: Are we done?

CIV Dr 0101 says:
1010: Indeed, Doctor. ::Secures the last bolt on the emitter:: Should we show it to the Chief?

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
*CIV*: How's that inspection going?

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: I will await evidence be presented before I speak

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Nods:: *CEO*: We-- ::Frowns:: Hm. We're done, Chief. Wanna come have a look?

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: Shipwide?

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
*CIV*: No, I'd like you to come and show me when you return it to Engineering please.

Captain Anderson says:
COM: USS Elara: Admiral Swan will arrive in 15 minutes. You can certainly wait till then

OPS Lt Tar says:
TO: It's going to be a rough ride. Better they'd be informed.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: The evidence? Oh yes, I have a few copies of the computer logs. ::hands over one PADD to Sarmok and one to Newberry::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::sighs and takes the padd from Sulvok:: Sulvok: For what it's worth I believe you Doctor, however given the severity of these charges I am going to have to leave you here ::re-energises the forcefield:: I trust you understand.

Lt Michael Newberry says:
:: looks over the evidence ::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
*CEO*: Um, Chief? ::Looks around in confusion:: We're already in your engineering.. ::Turns to 0101's location:: 0101: Aren't we?

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Smiles with satisfaction at the emitter's direction:: 1010, Self: Not a bad job if I say so myself.  ::Nods at 1010's direction::

TO Ens Boktor says:
*All*: We are entering the Nebula again. Pay attention, it can be a rough ride.

OPS Lt Tar says:
COM:USS Sagres: With all due respect sir, we cannot. In less than a minute we will be going in. Sure you can explain that to Admiral Swan. Otherwise I'll take responsibility. FCO: Lay in a course into the nebula at one-quarter impulse. Wait for my mark.

Dr Sulvok says:
::Nods:: XO: Yes commander.. Had you, or others on your crew, told us that at an earlier time, a lot of trouble could have been avoided... ::Turns to take a seat::

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: Message given out.

Captain Anderson says:
COM: USS Elara: You most certainly will Lt ... Tar! ::cuts the transmission::

FCO Lost says:
::nods at OPS;;

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::gives Sulvok a grim smile and heads for the nearest TL::

OPS Lt Tar says:
FCO: Take us in.

ACTION: The Elara moves again into the white sheep nebula. She is quickly engulfed by the milky clouds and proceeds at impulse

FCO Lost says:
OPS: Any particular heading?

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Holding to the console. Meanwhile trying to catch as much data as is possible.::

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: So, tell me what you found.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: Now as you've already stated, time is of the essence so I want you to tell me what you have done to this ship and why.

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: A small fighter is on an approach course!

OPS Lt Tar says:
FCO: Get us to the origin of the tachyon beam. I guess there we'll find some answers.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Nods at the CEO's direction:: CEO: Welcome. ::Nods at 0101's direction::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Nods and activates the Elara, patiently waiting for it to appear::

OPS Lt Tar says:
TO: Tactical analysis, mister Boktor.

Dr Sarmok says:
::looks up from inspecting the PADD:: CTO: A small mistake. The algorithm we downloaded was meant to increase efficiency in our examinations of your computer

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIVs: So did you find anything that you wanted?

OPS Lt Tar says:
::looks at captain Wall to see how he responds to what's going on::

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: Already scanning.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: Did you have the chief engineer's permission to change anything in the computer?

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: We have. ::Points at the emitter's direction:: We've identified the security risk the current emitter configuration caused, and we eliminated that risk.

ACTION: Amidst the milky clouds a lone fighter. It starts moving; it seems to want the Elara to follow

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: You what now? How did you do that?

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: It was just an interface program. I did not think it necessary to ask permission

Capt Wall says:
::waits calmly as things progress, knows Admiral Swan will not be happy, I would have gone in myself if I was still in command::

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: It is not attacking us.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::notices the flight path of the fighter:: TO: Is that fighter a match for us?

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: it was a program that you added to the existing programming of the ships computer... and you didn't think to ask if it was ok?

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: I used my judgement

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: Hard to tell, but we are a lot bigger. To be blunt, no match.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: Simple, Chief. We've encrypted her, all of her. It will take.. ::Turns to 0101's direction::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
CEO: Approximately 3353242.34 of your Earth years to decrypt her now. ::Smiles broadly:: Impressive, isn't it?

OPS Lt Tar says:
::nods:: FCO: Follow that fighter, one quarter impulse. I don't want to break the engines once more.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: You encrypted her? I didn't authorise that.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: Now you confuse me... you were sent to analyse our computer?

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: While I appreciate your work, you informed me that you were going to merely inspect her, not modify her. I do not like being lied to.

OPS Lt Tar says:
TO: I think they want us to follow it, otherwise, they wouldn't send such a fighter.

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: You should do your homework Lt. My team was here to inspect if your engineering and tactical could be improved

OPS Lt Tar says:
TO: But still, keep alert.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: You didn't have to, Chief. We worked on the XO's orders.. ::Offers a wide smile::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
XO: Sadly, he wasn't very specific in his orders.. But we did what we thought was the best.. ::Sighs:: Plus, you have an extra set of keys anyway.

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: I think you could be right. I will keep sharp.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: You told me your orders were to inspect it.

FCO Lost says:
OPS: Should I follow it then?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::walks onto the bridge having taken the long way round again, takes a look at the viewscreen:: OPS: Report Lieutenant

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: Inspect it for any insecurity, which we did, and dealt with.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: Fine. Good work, I guess is the only good thing to come of this. Now get the hell out of my engineering.

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Nods vigorously::

OPS Lt Tar says:
FCO: That's just what we do, change course to match.

Lt Michael Newberry says:
:: confused look comes across his face ::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: Wait, there's more.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: More? You haven't done enough?

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sarmok: ok, let me stop you there... you are supposed to see if the engineering and tactical systems could be improved... and instead of examining those systems in their normal operating state you add your own software to make the process of examining those systems go faster?

CIV Dr 0101 says:
Computer: Activate the Elara's avatar, please.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIVs: You didn't change her personality subroutines did you?

Elara says:
::appears from the emitter:: CEO: Hello Jo'Brel, 1010, 0101

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: Nope, we weren't authorized to do that.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::stands up from the chair as the XO enters:: XO: Sir, we've gone into the nebula, but not to the pleasure of Captain Anderson. I disobeyed his orders to enter the nebula. Now we're following that... ::points to the screen:: XO: Fighter.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: Damned right you weren't. So what am I supposed to be seeing here?

CIV Dr 0101 says:
Elara: Hello. ::Takes a step backward, giving her companion a guarded look::

ACTION: The fighter comes to a stop next to what appears to be...a bottle

TO Ens Boktor says:
OPS: We are still at Red alert, which is appropriate, but shall I lower the sound?

Elara says:
CEO: It is ok Jo'Brel. I am now more ... like you. I have a choice

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Elara: Meaning what?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
OPS: You were following my orders Lieutenant, you are covered.  ::notes the fighter again:: Good, let’s see what it is they want to show us. ::takes a seat in his chair and notes Captain Wall::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
Wall: Didn't you return to the Paris Captain?

Lt Michael Newberry says:
:: looks at the Dr:: Sarmok, so you're saying you were sent by someone to see what our systems could do? On who's authority?

OPS Lt Tar says:
::nods:: TO: Good idea. ::smiles::

Dr Sarmok says:
CTO: My own software as you call it was an interface, a shell if you like. To smooth our assessment

Dr Sarmok says:
Newberry: We were guests from Starfleet

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: Observe. ::Turns to the Elara's direction:: Elara: Activate Sad Elara program, authorization ::Chirps in a random fashion::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Chirps as well::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Nods to OPS. Lowers volume of red-alert to 10%.::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
Elara: 20 seconds count down, commence.

Capt Wall says:
::watching the viewscreen:: XO: yes I did I have returned, I have ordered my ship to be at the Elara's discretion until this matter is solved

OPS Lt Tar says:
::notices the fighter stopped:: FCO: All stop.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
::watches, confused and bewildered::

Elara says:
CIV: Acknowledged CEO: Do not worry, it is just a demonstration and the CIVs will stop it. If they didn't I would be destroyed in 20 seconds

ACTION: The Elara comes to a halt in front of the small fighter

OPS Lt Tar says:
XO: Sir, the fighter stopped. As did we.

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Turns around and looks towards the big screen.::

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: That part better be encrypted! And lets track back a bit.. she's more like us now? How?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
OPS: Very good.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: A fail safe mechanism. ::Gloats in pride::

OPS Lt Tar says:
::scans for the origin of the tachyon beam::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Waits patiently::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
All: Full scans of the surrounding space, find out whats out there.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::nods::

Elara says:
CEO: I can die

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Newberry: See if you can get any sense out of them I'll be outside. ::steps out of the room and then out of the brig making sure all the doors close behind him:: *XO*: Sollo to Pazoski, checking in, what is our status?

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Starting up the scan programs.:: XO: Scans are running sir.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
Elara: Abort self destruct, authorization ::Chirps again::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Chirps again::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
Wall: I appreciate that Captain; we might need her by the end of the day

Capt Wall says:
XO: could all this have any connection with the Elara past or present?

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: Well you certainly have a lot of control over her now.. I can't chirp like that

Capt Wall says:
XO: Why the Elara? I wonder?

CSO Ens Lyta says:
XO: I'm picking up the fighter but not life signs, also some kind of bottle filled with nebula gases, sir.

Lt Michael Newberry says:
:: smiles sweetly at Sarmok :: Dr Sarmok: It’s just us now you can tell me what is going on.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: Before you go, I need to ask you something

Elara says:
All: Self-Destruct aborted

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
*CTO*: We are waiting to see what our "friends" have to show us.  Any news from our guest?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
Wall: It could be, we tend to make a lot of enemies in this profession, although nothing I have seen points to anyone I can remember specifically.

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Sigh!::

Dr Sarmok says:
Newberry: I installed a program on the Elara computer. That is all. Since then my team was shot at and put in jail

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: During your inspection did you find anything in her programming or indeed out of it that may suggest she has evolved past her original programming?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CSO: What kind of bottle?

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: You can't? ::Frowns, giving her companion a odd look::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
CEO: We can fix that. ::Turns to the Elara:: Elara: Insert a new user, full control. Start code recording in five seconds. ::Turns to the CEO:: CEO: Say something meaningful.

Lt Michael Newberry says:
Dr Sarmok: If you would have enlightened the crew and the command staff they may not have taken it as a threat and done what they did. They're just trying to protect their ship. How do we get rid of your program and get the Elara back to her normal self.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
::says an authorisation code::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
*XO*: It's like getting blood from a stone, they insist that they added a subroutine to the computer to help their examination of our computer go smoothly... do you have any information that there was anything more sinister involved?

CSO Ens Lyta says:
XO: A whiskey bottle sir! I'm also picking up a carbon signature inside of it...seems to be a diamond.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::frowns:: CSO: Say again? A whiskey bottle?

Capt Wall says:
Self: a whiskey bottle? Heh?

Harry the Tribble says:
::Wakes up at the sound of his favourite word::

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Tickles Harry:: OPS: It's shaped like a whiskey bottle...

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
*CTO*: A subroutine to help their examination? Find out who else knows about the existence of this subroutine, it's possible that we have all been played

Dr Sarmok says:
Newberry: From what I gathered, they already did that. Yet, we are still being held

OPS Lt Tar says:
::tries to get a lock on the bottle-like thing::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Pauses to consider the CEO's question:: CEO: Define different.

Lt Michael Newberry says:
Dr Sarmok: A precautionary measure I'm sure.

Elara says:
CEO: acknowledged, new authorization code inserted. Though yours is easier to break

CTO Lt Sollo says:
*XO*: Pretty much what I was thinking. I'll let you know if I find anything. ::walks back into the brig::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CSO: A whisky bottle with a diamond in it?  If there are no signs on explosives or biological agents then beam it to one of the science labs

Capt Wall says:
XO: and I thought I had seen it all, but a whiskey bottle

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Elara: Well I do a great targ impression but that could backfire one day. CIV: I mean... self awareness, acting on her own initiative... that sort of thing

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Mutters:: Self: Humans.

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Nods::

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Runs another scan to confirm her results and beams it to  science lab one:: 

ACTION: Lt Hakinen receives the bottle in a containment field, scans it, depressurizes it and eventually opens it

CIV Dr 0101 says:
CEO: I'm afraid we aren't aware of her current limits, due to her advance programming. Can you please be more specific?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::almost mutters:: Wall: Joe likes his whisky...

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: Never mind. Thank you.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::walks up to the cell:: Sulvok: Might I have a word please?

Lt Hakinen says:
*CSO*: I only just started to scan the bottle but I think you should see this

CIV Dr 1010 says:
CEO: If it helps, it seems she wasn't constructed from with any Starfleet equipment we've ever seen.

Capt Wall says:
XO: yeah we need to find out who is "Joe"

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
CIV: Thanks but I knew that part.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
*Hakinen*: On my way. ::Picks up Harry's cage and walks into the nearest lift:: TL: Science labs.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Nods:: CEO: Ta ta. ::Moves to leave::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Follows 1010::

Lt Hakinen says:
*CSO*: I was going to send you an image, but that works

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
::'hmph's in the CIVs direction and turns to Elara:: Elara: How do you feel?

OPS Lt Tar says:
::still scans the area::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::taps his foot::

Harry the Tribble says:
::Chirps madly as his cage keeps moving about::

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Jogs down the corridor:: Harry: Calm down, there's booze in this for you! ::Enters the lab::

Harry the Tribble says:
::Attempts the bite the CSO's finger through the bars::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Looking in to the direction of XO:: XO Nothing here to discover yet.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Sulvok: Doctor Sulvok... I happen to know that vulcans have excellent hearing.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Moves her hand and sets the cage down heavily on the nearest table::

ACTION: The CSO is soon shown the scan image of the diamond inside the bottle. It's shaped like a small note, it reads in plain English "Beam Sarmok and T’Lok to the fighter and you will have your Captain back”

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
TO: No, it would appear that they are waiting for something.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
Self: Oh my. *XO*: Commander! You have to see this!

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Forwards the image to the bridge::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Nods towards the XO.::

OPS Lt Tar says:
::receives the image and puts it on the screen:: XO: On screen now, Sir.

Harry the Tribble says:
::Collides against the cage doors, back and forth in an attempt to send the cage flying::

Elara says:
CEO: I feel ... free. I received your message. No one ever sent me a letter before

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Elara; What did you think of what I said?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::reads the message on the screen:: *CSO*: Good work Ensign, see if there is anything else you can find out from the bottle and diamond, Pazoski out.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Puts a hand on the cage to steady it:: Harry: I told you to behave!

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::walks back out of the brig:: *XO*: Those vulcans sure can hold a grudge... they're blanking me... how are things going up there?

OPS Lt Tar says:
XO: Sir, why would you think they would like to have them?

Harry the Tribble says:
::Chirps madly, colliding even harder now::

Elara says:
CEO: Some of your words were logical, others not yet. I feel you deserve a considerate answer, and considerate answers take longer to compute than a path through a field of singularities

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
TO: Find me two tracking devices, something that someone who is looking for one isn't going to find but that has a very large range, find it fast, we need to put it on our two doctors

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Elara: Ah right...

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Elara: Well I look forward to it

TO Ens Boktor says:
XO: Yes sir.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
OPS: They are computer experts, I would assume they want them for their skills

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Reads over an analysis of the gases in the bottle:: Harry: FIne. ::Gets a a bottle of brandy out of a safe in the lab and fills a dish for the tribble:: 

Elara says:
CEO: I think we are rescuing the Captain, but to do that we have to give in to blackmail. I thought Starfleet did not agree to that

OPS Lt Tar says:
XO: But you know how stubborn Vulcans can be. It's good to track them, but I haven't been able to find out where the Captain and the others are.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Opens Harry's cage and gives him the bowl:: Harry: Now I have work to do.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::starts to wonder if anyone can hear him and grabs a passing crewman:: Crewman: Do you know, that in two days, tomorrow will be yesterday?

::Eagerly slurps the Brandy::

TO Ens Boktor says:
Self: Huhm, where are these? One is over here, the second one is near the closest transporters.: XO: Sir, I have one here, but I have to pick up the second one, at the nearest transporter. Please take this one, I am off.

Crewman Smithy says:
::looks terrified and nods at the CTO::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::waves the crewman away:: *XO*: Figures, I knew they were hiding something.

CEO LtJG Jo`Brel says:
Elara: Well, I'm not in charge so... I don't like it either.

Harry the Tribble says:
::Burps::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Hands the tracking device over to the XO and runs off to the TL.::
