<<< Begin Europa Mission, Stardate 10110.07, 20:06 Eastern >>>

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The Europa is nearing Ferengi space.

Host CO_Senn says:
::on the bridge, enjoying the comforts of the Big Chair [tm]::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::on the bridge at one of the auxiliary consoles, going over data from downstairs::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::in ME bringin the core up to maximum efficiency::

CNS_Azhure says:
::In her office, going over reports on the Ferengi, and adding her two cents of experience to it.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::spins around in his chair at eh flight control console:: CO: Captain, we're approaching Ferengi space. Preparing to drop to impulse for standard orbit.

TO_KTracht says:
::standing at Tac one, since the CTO has taken ill::

XO_Rya says:
::On the bridge, getting used to her new chair, Alara reads over reports.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::At the OPS Console Humming away and dreaming of another Home cooked Dinner::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Go ahead, lieutenant.

TO_KTracht says:
::looks over the data from SRS::

FCO_B`lee says:
::reduces speed to impulse and prepares to enter orbit around Ferenginar::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Contact the planet and get us permission to assume orbit.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye, Captain

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks up as she feels the ship drop from warp.  With a nod, stands and heads for the bridge.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Hails the Planet::

TO_KTracht says:
CO : Captain.. There's a below normal traffic in the area... Probably due to the incident we're here to investigate...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::turns away from the console he was working at and activates the short range sensors to scan the immediate area::

Host CO_Senn says:
TO: I suppose that could be a reason... but I can't say I know all that much that can happen with a stock market loss.

XO_Rya says:
::Stands up and goes over to SFI at science.::

TO_KTracht says:
::shrugs:: CO : I can't say i can either... Just. An educated guess...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks up at Alara:: XO: Howdy, stranger. Long time no seen you here in the slums. ::grins::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Exits the TL onto the bridge, heading over to the command area to take her seat::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::heads for the bridge::

Host CO_Senn says:
::eyes K'Tracht and bites her lower lip, something in his comment struck her as fun. She nods and returns her attention to the main viewscreen::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::exits the TL and heads to Engineering station on the bridge::

XO_Rya says:
::smiles:: SFI: The slums eh? ::shakes her head:: Did the background searches turn up any leads?

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  You are looking rather happy.  ::Smiles::

Host TC_Rog says:
#COM: Europa: Federation starship Europa, this is Rog. Standard parking rates are 20 slips per standard solar day. We do not offer valet parking, nor any type of security. How long do you expect your visit to last?

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: Thank you Azhure. ::smiles back::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::nods and gets back to work, calling up a list:: XO: I have a list of... around 47 suspects ranked in probability. Some stand out glaringly, opponents to the new revolutionary government of Grand Nagus Rom. The others are from various other groups, and some opposed to Ferengi in general.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Chuckles at the comm, not unexpected::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Mutes the Channel:: CO: Captain?

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances back at the CO:: CO: Friendly, aren't they...

TO_KTracht says:
All : Figures.. Typical Ferengi..

Host CO_Senn says:
::ends up chuckling this time::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: A few days, undetermined so far.

XO_Rya says:
::Nods.:: SFI: Well, at least we have some place to start.  Can I have a copy of that list and the pertinent details?

FCO_B`lee says:
::achieves standard orbit:: CO: Captain, we're in standard orbit now ... better pay them, I don't want to have to find another parking spot.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles:: XO: Of course, Commander. ::takes a spare datapadd and places it on the console as he transfers the list of names and an abbreviated list of details:: Here you go. If you need anything else, I can fill you in.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye.  ::Um-Mutes:: COMM: TC: A Few Days, Undetermined at this time.

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: If we park, how will they stop us?  Besides, we can just stay in orbit.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: I am sure they might even lower the price in a couple of days to attract more ships to park here.

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods at the CEO with his goofie unisex bowl haircut:: CEO: Uh huh...

Host TC_Rog says:
#COM: Europa: Very well Europa. You have been assigned spatial sector 45C. Rog out.

XO_Rya says:
SFI: Thank you Commander West. I'm sure I'll be asking you for more help later on.  ::Returns to her seat and smiles and greets Azhure.:: CNS: Good morning Commander.

TO_KTracht says:
::grumphs:: CO : We're here to help and they charge us? I'd leave in a second if it were up to me..

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO/FCO: We are prepared to go to idle docked power at command.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::turns back to the displays he's working on, patching into the planetary security net to see how many of the suspects are in custody::

Host CO_Senn says:
::stands up, waiting for Taylor to finish the lack of negotiations with the Ferengi traffic control::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Closes the Channel and feeds the coordinates to the FCO::

FCO_B`lee says:
::chuckles and mutters:: FCO: Good thing, my piggy bank is getting empty.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles::  XO:  Morning.  You ready?

Host CO_Senn says:
TO: Don't worry, it's not *us* paying anyway ::smiles::

FCO_B`lee says:
::sees the coordinates on his display and turns back to OPS giving him a nod:: CO: Parking orbit achieved...

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes head:: Self : Money layed to waste...

CNS_Azhure says:
TO:  The Ferengi respect those who barter, but I doubt Rog could care less in this case.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Well done, lieutenant. ::smiles at his words... "parking"::

XO_Rya says:
::Grins and whispers:: CNS: When Ferengi are concerned I don't think you can ever be ready enough.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Please notify Blunt at the FCA that we have arrived and are ready to meet with him.

TO_KTracht says:
::shrugs::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::Hails the FCA::

CNS_Azhure says:
::whispers back::  XO: One of these days, remind me to tell you about my first experience with the Ferengii ::shakes her head with a grin::  Over a late night drink

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
:;sits down on the stool and revises the list he has, comparing geographic data to the projected map of economic delay::

XO_Rya says:
::Chuckles:: CNS: I'd love to hear that story. ::in a normal voice, she adds...:: CNS: Did you discover any unusual customs that we need to be aware of?

FCO_B`lee says:
::looks back at the CNS and snickers:: CNS: I bet you give great lobe!

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  Nothing that is not known about them.  ::Hands her a padd::

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM:FCA:Blunt: This is the USS Europa, we are in Orbit, and are ready to meet with you.

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns to Azhure:: CNS: Please make sure I am invited, I'd like to hear that story ::smiles::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Eyes the FCO::  FCO:  One never knows.  ::Winks and looks back at the XO::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks up from his displays to read the face of this Blunt::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Captain, you are on.  After this mission, ladies night out.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@COM: Europa: Blunt... FCA.. About time you got here. Well are you coming down or are you waiting for an invitation?

TO_KTracht says:
::raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS, XO: It's a deal.

FCO_B`lee says:
::now that his job is largely done, he stands from his console and crosses to the engineering station:: CEO: And how is our virgin CEO doing?

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Senn and Azhure::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::begins to nod off from lack of activity::

FCO_B`lee says:
::slaps the back of the CEO's head to wake him up:: CEO: Don't let the CO see you nod off...

XO_Rya says:
::Thanks the counselor for the padd and quickly scans it.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::wakes with a start:: 

TO_KTracht says:
::as the system goes into stanby mode, he steps away from the console::

CEO_Tyreen says:
Aside to FCO: Well, it's not like anyone would notice.

Host CO_Senn says:
:;mutters to self, in answer to Blunt's words:: We were waiting for the invitation all right, we don't want to pay.

FCO_B`lee says:
::mutters and looks up at the ceiling:: CEO: You never know when the Prophet mikey ... errr ... might be ... watching.

TO_KTracht says:
::approaches the CEO:: CEO : Are you bored, friend?

XO_Rya says:
::Whispers:: CO: Do you think we have enough latinum to conduct this investigation?

Host CO_Senn says:
::whispers back:: XO: I can only hope.

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: FCA: Blunt: One thing first, our Parking Rate.  We might want that waved since we are helping you.

FCO_B`lee says:
::sees TO_Catharact approach:: TO: Hey big head...

XO_Rya says:
::still whispering:: CO: Want me to have Lt. Taylor send the Grand Nagus the bill when we're done?

CNS_Azhure says:
CO/XO:  In case you have forgotten, the ferengii don't usually deal with women and when the do, they are without clothes.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: A bit.  I've done everything in Me except polish the reactor buffers.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::::gets up from his station and waits next to the captain::

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : Well, Maybe you shoudl.. ::pats the FCO on the back::

Host CO_Senn says:
::shakes her head:: XO: He's married to a Bajoran and wears a Bajoran earring. I have a soft spot for him...

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns to West:: SFI: Commander?

FCO_B`lee says:
CEO: Well heck, you better get to that buffing then man! Never look bored in front of your CO. She'll have you tightening the bolts on her chair from now till the end of time.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::transmits beam-down coordinates, glancing up once in a while to admire the Captain and someone who appears to be the first officer::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks down at her:: CO: I may or may not require pre-permission to leave the ship to go down to the planet independently. Intelligence has... resources planetside and I couldn't very well contact them backed up by a full security detail.

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : I know of a crewman who was sent to scrub the inside of the Nacelles with a toothbrush just because he dozed on at the Flight Console..

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Senn:: CO/CNS: The Grand Nagus doesn't seem so bad. I've heard they discovered the profit that could be made from clothing their females and have changed some laws...not that that changes their attitudes towards females in general.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::gets an idea::

CNS_Azhure says:
XO/CNS:  Some have... but you are correct on the grand Nagus.

Host CO_Senn says:
SFI: Well then, you're on your own. If you leave, you will follow standard practices and report yourself every 20 minutes. Anything I need to know, make sure you contact me.

TO_KTracht says:
::grins at the FCO::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::begins fiddling with his console::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::.smiles again:: CO: Thirty minutes would be more... comfortable.

Host CO_Senn says:
XO/CNS: You come with me.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: You like to hear you native tongue?

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO/TO: See if you can find anything interesting. Also, K'Tracht, be ready to join us on the surface if I call for you.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: I have the coordinates.

CNS_Azhure says:
::nods and stands::  XO/CNS:  This should definatly be interesting.

FCO_B`lee says:
::moves to the Command Deck railing:: CO: Aye sir... ::moves down to the Command Deck ready to take the big chair::

XO_Rya says:
CO: Aye sir. I recommend we bring wet weather gear with us.

TO_KTracht says:
::looks over to the CEO's console, then raises his head as his name is called out:: CO : Yes Ma'am.. There's a security detail in standby.. Just in case.. ::smiles::

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@COMM: Europa: You received an 80% discount rate. I wouldn't complain about the price. You haven't helped us yet, and it remains to be seen if you will at all.

Host CO_Senn says:
CEO: My chair seems to be rocking... make sure somebody fixes it ::grins::

XO_Rya says:
::Nods at Commander Azhure's comment.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: Consider it done, ma'am.

TO_KTracht says:
::turns back to the CEO:: CEO : What do you mean, my native tongue?

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: You have the conn. ::starts walking towards the turbolift::

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns before entering the TL:: SFI: I said twenty minutes, commander...

CNS_Azhure says:
::Sighs:: XO:  I hate wet weather gear, but I concur, unless we are going to be beamed from building to building... or having our clothes plastered to our bodies... might as well go in the nude then.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: How would you like a Klingon computer?

TO_KTracht says:
::chuckles, looking at the FCO ackwardly backing up from the Center Chair::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::nods:: CO: Yes ma'am. ::smiles again and heads for the other lift:: TL:  Annex, stat.

FCO_B`lee says:
::takes a seat in the center chair as the Captain heads for the turbolift::

XO_Rya says:
::Chuckles:: CNS: It might help our investigation, but I would rather not go nude.

Host CO_Senn says:
::eyes Azhure:: CNS: What an alluring idea.

TO_KTracht says:
::chuckles:: CEO : KI doubt the Captain would enjoy that idea... Although it could improe a few things around here.. ::smiles::

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: FCA: Blunt: Alright. A Party will be beaming down shortly.  CO: Aye.  ::Closes Channel::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::rides down the decks alone::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Shrugs as she steps into the TL::  CO/XO: As I said...  ::Smiles::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: How about a good old fashioned Klingon menu in the replicators?

XO_Rya says:
::Alara's grin broadens:: CNS: Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

TO_KTracht says:
::grins:: CEO :  THat would be to my liking...

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  Then wet weather gear it is.

Host CO_Senn says:
TL: Transporter room one.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::steps out of the lift and walks th ecouple of corners toward the Annex and heads inside and downstairs::

Host CO_Senn says:
::exits the lift as it stops and its doors part open, and enters the transporter room::

Host CO_Senn says:
TR Chief: You have the coordinates?

XO_Rya says:
CO: Wait.

CNS_Azhure says:
::heads for the locker and grabs three wet weather gear::

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns around:: XO: Yes?

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : Well.. I have to get back to my station.. The Captain wanted a permanent lock on the AT.. And i guess that's my job.. ::smiles::

XO_Rya says:
::Rushes off the platform and grabs the bags of latinum and gives one to both the counselor and Captain and keeps one for herself.:: CO: Sorry sir. I'm ready now.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Sure...later.

OPS_Taylor says:
<TR Chief>: CO: Yes Sir.

TO_KTracht says:
::As he leaves:: CEO : But i liked that idea on the replicators.. ::grins::

Host CO_Senn says:
::had almost forgotten them:: XO: Thank you.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Hands each their gear::  XO:  Thanks ::hefts her bag and tucks it down her shirt::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at the TR Chief and steps on the pad, waiting for the XO and the Counselor do the same::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::leaves Shard to monitor communications on the planet and gets into 'uniform' with Mary Jane::

XO_Rya says:
CNS: Thanks. ::Puts on the gear, hides her latinum in an inner pocket and gets on the transporter padd.::

OPS_Taylor says:
<TR Chief>: CO: Energizing. ::Activates the Transporters::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::appears in one of the glitziest areas of the capital with MJ:: Thunder: Here we are. Let's go. ::heads down the fancy allyways, ducking his head in the rain.::

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Sighs as she reappears::

TO_KTracht says:
::waits for the AT to be beamed down, then focus the transporter's targeting sensors on each member::

Host Blunt_FCA says:
ACTION: Senn and company beamed to Blunt's office in the Tower of Commerce

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Do you got the AT on sensors?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::materializes inside what looks like a lavishly decorated office::

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Yes, sir.. Locked and ready for beam out in any emergency.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Looks around for their host::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::slips down a dimly lit corridor and walks on soggy carpet toward a heavy looking door::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::through the window she can see that... surprise, it is raining::

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Also check for any other ships in the vicinity.

XO_Rya says:
@::Looks around and shakes her head...Ferengi.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Door> SFI: Identification.

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : There are plenty sir, trading vessels.. Not the usual high number, but still, lots..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::sighs:: Self: Always the same games. Door: West, James V. Thunder, Mary J.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Smiles at the XO::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: Bet you double bridge duty that the Cap'n gets hit on first.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Door> Identity confirmed. Proceed. ::slides to the side::

FCO_B`lee says:
::looks up as OPS approaches the center seat:: OPS: I was just warming it up for you.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::looks at Mary and steps into the private lift as it descends::

XO_Rya says:
@::Catches Azhure's eye and tilts her head in the direction of a rather obscene looking statue.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::heads back towards the after deck:: CEO: No bet... TO: You know, I've been thinking that whomever is behind this has probably been coming and going a lot. Maybe we should compare the dockmasters logs.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the FCO:: FCO: Why thank you Lt.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::walks forward:: All: I am Liquidator Blunt... FCA.

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : I would ask the Dockmaster for that, but he'll probably charge me... Let's see if we can.. Uhm.... Find out where they keep the list.. ::grins::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> SFI: The last time you were here, Commander, Tel tried to kill you.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Looks at the statue::  XO:  Trust me, there are worse.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: I am Captain Senn, UFP. These are Commanders Rya and Azhure.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::watches the floors tick off:: Thunder: Standard procedure. ::smiles::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: Scratch that, make it the CNS that gets hit on.

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods and acesses one of the secondary bridge consoles linking it with the Ferengi Dockmasters office::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> SFI: Standard procedure. You mean he'll try to do it again?

XO_Rya says:
@::Stands slightly behind Captain Senn and scans the room.  Nods to the counselor.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::smiles wider:: Thunder: Probably. Keep your head down.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::steps out of the lift and walks down another corridor::

FCO_B`lee says:
::begins scanning through a listing of recent dockings over the last few weeks::

CNS_Azhure says:
@::On the other side of the captain, nods her greeting::

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::being short, Blunt's eyes happen to level upon... well, you can guess:: All: Where would you like to begin your investigation?

XO_Rya says:
@::Sizes FCA Blunt up and then nods her head in greeting.::

TO_KTracht says:
::raises an eyebrow at the FCO's work:: FCO : You didn't learn that in Starfleet academy, did you?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::wonders how much Blunt is wishing for males to be in charge of the investigation::

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles:: TO: A learned a little here ... a little there... ::glances at the Klingon:: TO: I did have a life before the Academy, after all.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sits in the center chair but then gets up::

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: Here. I'd like to know your views and ideas on the subject.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Looks at the captain and thinks Blunt might be happy to have the three of them::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::pushes Mary-Jane out of the way as a reddish phaser blast singes past chest level and takes her hand as he runs straight forward and jumps up again as darts fly over the floor.::

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: FCO :  I am impressed... But i could have done it faster, if i wanted.. ::grins::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> ::not even breathing hard:: SFI: Predictable.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::nods:: MJ: Yep. Which means it hasn't stopped yet.

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods:: TO: Naturally... ::continues scrolling through the long list of ship names and registries::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks around:: TO: Where's Commander West?

TO_KTracht says:
::grunts:: OPS : No idea sir..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ducks again and jumps, grabbing one fo the railings, joined by her as he climbs over the floor swiftly filling with gas:: MJ: Disable the controls. ::nods to the controls blinking at chest level on the far wall::

TO_KTracht says:
::studies the list together with the FCO:: FCO : I would geuss this person would notuse the same name always.. Maybe we should be watching at recordings of the arrivals on ships?

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Did he go down with the Away team?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::swings off the rafters and lands on the barrel extending from one of the columns and singes his shoes as it heats up, falling hard on his back::

FCO_B`lee says:
TO: Well, visual recordings would be a lot tougher to get a hold off. A ship's name can be changed, but her registry and prefix codes are a lot harder to alter.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> ::working at the controls:: SFI: Heh, getting old, Commander?

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Let me check, sir... ::scrounges the transporter logs, and finds the COmmander's signature in one of them:: OPS :Found him sir.. He beamed down to another location.. not with the CO..

XO_Rya says:
@::Shifts slightly to balance herself better while watching Blunt.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::shakes head:: Thunder: You wish. ::flips back up on his feet and ducks again as the second pole extends and heats up before sputtering:: ::glares at her:: I would have handled that.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> SFI: Sure you would... let's go. ::opens the doors::

FCO_B`lee says:
::thinks:: TO: Then again, our culprit could have just been a passenger booking transit on any ship that was coming this way. ::begins to compare passenger lists::

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : Mr. BLee... ::shows him his console, where the crossreferencing of the three times in the last two weeks where the Stockmarket dropped large percentages::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::stamps out the fire on his boots and follows, hearing the laughing inside::

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Track his movements, and keep a transporter lock on him.

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : We got 4 possibles, right here.. ::points at the four ships that where present at each of those times::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Don't they keep security scanner records.  We could look for specific people, not ships.

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Aye sir.. I'll try.. ::activates scanners looking for the Commander's signature::

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods at the TO::TO: I'll compare their passenger lists ... maybe you should run a long range scan and see if you can pick any of them up on sensors.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Daimon Tel> SFI: Ahhh, Agent West. So good to see you again. I trust you werent' punctured... maybe fatally?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ Tel: Good to see you too, Tel. And sorry, no fatal wounds this time. Maybe next time, though.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods at the FCO:: FCO : On it... ::activates Long range scanners looking for any of those four ships::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Tel> SFI: One can always hope... so, why have you come to see me? Perhaps you've grown hungry for beetlesnuff?

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@All: It is definitely sabotage.. someone is gaining access to our systems and causing this.. We've changed our access passwords multiple times, activated numerous firewalls, but still they break in.

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes his head as the Scanners return it's result on the COmmander's search:: OPS : Sir, i can't poinpoint the Commander's location precisely enough to get a lock..  know the city where he was beamed to, but that's it..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> ::steps forward to take some of the bettlesnuff out of courtesy::

CNS_Azhure says:
@Blunt:  Have you tried changing different systems and limiting access?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::ignores her as she keeps the guards' eyes busy:: Tel: I need some information. I figured you'd want to give me some.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@CNS Azhure: We had just upgraded all of our systems, a week before the crashes first occurred.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::heads down to ME::

XO_Rya says:
@ Blunt: Who did the upgrade work?

CNS_Azhure says:
@Blunt:  Not upgrade, change over.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods:: Blunt: All right then... I'd like to get access to your stockmarket's computer records. ::looks at Alara and Azhure waiting to see if they have other suggestions:: And by the way... who provides for your systems?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::gasps at the word:: SFI: GIVE??!? I heard you'd been reassigned to a ship. Has the cushy life sent you mad, James?

CEO_Tyreen says:
::walks over to the main warp regulator console and activates a game of PONG against the computer::

XO_Rya says:
@::Sees the look, but patiently is waiting for Blunt to answer her question first.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::brushes off a low chair and sits:: Tel: Yes, give. The last time I was here, I remember you owed me big. Even gave me a case full of vouchers I'm sure you've long since voided.

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Alright, Lt.

TO_KTracht says:
::frowns, looking up information on the four vessels:: FCO : From the four vessels, Three are Federation in Origin, one is of Bajoran design.. none are present in LRS range at the moment..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::smiles, showing his crooked fangs:: <Tel> SFI: Youd' be right, James. I'm sure we can negotiate a proper price, later. What is it you need? I can perhaps tell you a rumor I've heard.

TO_KTracht says:
::Accesses specific information on the federation vessels::

FCO_B`lee says:
::thinks:: Self: Hmm... TO: How often do they visit the docks?

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::looks at Rya, then Azhure, then Senn::
All: We contracted with a Bynar group to upgrade our systems. They brought all equipment in, and they were heavily supervised during the changeover. Only 4 people have total access to the system.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::looses and wanders the corridor on the Engineering deck for a while::

XO_Rya says:
@Blunt: May we see those records?

CNS_Azhure says:
@Blunt:  We would like the name of the group and the four individuals with access.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: Which must mean that besides external interference, they are the only ones who could provoke this situation, right?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::smiles:: Tel: I thought you might. One moment please. MJ: Mary-Jane, please contact the Captain and assure her we're not dead.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> SFI: Sure thing, sir. ::steps away, taking the communicator from her pocket::

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : Let me check those records again.. ::searches through the Dockmaster's records::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> *CO*: Thunder to Senn.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::taps her badge:: *Thunder* Senn here.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> *CO*: Captain, Commander West asked me to contact you and confirm that we are, quote, 'not dead'. Uh... Ma'am.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Whispers::  XO:  If you can check out the system, I'll work on the four individuals... or let West.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: *Thunder* That is nice to know. ::shakes her head:: But he should be reporting to the Europa, not me... oh well, I'll leave you be. Just keep in touch at regular intervals.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::covering his ears:: All: You females talk too much..
The only people with total access are the Grand Nagus, myself, and the two senior officers on the Ferengi Stock Exchange.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ <Thunder> ::nods unnecessarily:: *CO*: Understood, Captain. Thunder out.

XO_Rya says:
@:: Considers Azhure's suggestion.:: CNS: Sounds good. I'd also like to know who made the most profit from these crashes.

XO_Rya says:
@::was whispering::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::turns away from Mary-Jane and looks again at Tel:: Tel: Now about this rumor of yours.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::smiles at Blunt:: Blunt: Just one more thing before we go see those records.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Nods, whispering::  XO:  I will start with the two senior officers.  I hope it is not the Grand Nagus and doubt it.

TO_KTracht says:
::frowns:: FCO : Looks like two of the Federation ships resemble Starfleet ships.. Small.. Peregrine class, maybe.. I can't be sure..

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks up to the TO:: TO: Find anything so far?

XO_Rya says:
@::whispering still:: CNS: Agreed. We also need to learn more about the Bynars.

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances at the readings:: TO: Yeah, those look like fighters all right. What would they be doing here?

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: Do you have any suspicions about who could be interested in this stock market crash?

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Well.. 4 ships were present during the major stockexchange crashes on three seperate occasions.. Two resembled Starfleet PEregrine class ships, one if Federation in orgin, and one if of a Bajoran Design.. FCO : Have you had any luck on the occupants of those ships?

Host Blunt_FCA says:
All: The Bynar group we used was highly recommended from other companies and planets. They even brought in an outsider to examine the situation and negotiate a fair price. Fair for us, obviously.. ::grinning::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::returns to the bridge::

CNS_Azhure says:
@:whispering::  XO:  They are not the easiest to get information on.  That might be a better job for West.

XO_Rya says:
@ Blunt: An outsider?

FCO_B`lee says:
::shakes his head:: TO: I've got some passenger lists. But I can't find anything on those Peregrine's.

TO_KTracht says:
::watches as the CEO comes into the bridge:: CEO : Chief.. Could you come over here, please?

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Perks up::  Blunt:  An outsider?

XO_Rya says:
@ ::Nods in agreement at Azhure::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::really bites her tongue to not repeat what Alara and Azhure have already said::

TO_KTracht says:
::frowns::FCO : Funny, you'd think the Ferengi would ask that of all the ships coming and going... I think we might need to contact the Dockmaster after all..

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@Senn: There are a few people who sold many millions in stock shortly before the first crash.

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods:: TO: Yeah...

CNS_Azhure says:
@Blunt:  We will need that list as well.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: We'd like their names, and what companies the stock they sold belong to. And about this outsider who negotiatied the price of the system change with you...

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : You want to do the honours?

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Peregines, have you cross refenenced the Fleet Database on Registries?

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@All: Yes.. he was a hu-mon.. he appeared very well versed in Ferengi systems. I believe we have a picture of him somewhere on our security tapes.

FCO_B`lee says:
::waves his hands:: TO: Diplomacy is not my bag... OPS: We think you should contact the Dockmaster about these two Peregrins.

XO_Rya says:
@::Just watches Blunt since the Captain and Counselor are asking him all the questions she has.::

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes head::OPS : We can't make out their registry numbers on the visual records, sir..

XO_Rya says:
@:: Can't help asking now though...:: Blunt: You don't know his name?

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: Could we see it now? ::she is getting a creepy feeling all of a sudden::

TO_KTracht says:
::motions to the console, when the CEO approaches his position:: CEO : Cna you somehow enhance these images, so we can get more info from them?

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: Get me the TC. And the Visuals of the ships

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Looks at the captain and then back to Blunt::

XO_Rya says:
@::Raises an eyebrow at the emotions she's sensing from Nayla.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::presses a few buttons on the console and brings up the visual records on the main viewscreen:: OPS: Aye sir...

CEO_Tyreen says:
::approaches the TAC station::

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@Rya: I don't care what his name is.
Senn: Fine. ::wobbles over to his panel::
All: It will just take a moment for the system to find his image.

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : We're especially interested in having the Registry number of these Peregrine Class ships

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods at the Ferengi, her eyes fixed on the screen. All she hopes for is a face she does not recognize::

XO_Rya says:
@ ::incredulous:: Blunt: You allowed an outsider to come in and observe this and you don't even know his name?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks down to the center area::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Consider it done.  ::heads for the ENG console::

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Looks at the screen, wondering whose face will show up.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::tries to com the TC but is getting no response:: OPS: The TC doesn't seem to be responding, sir.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
ACTION: As sort of a slap to Senn's hopes... the image of Rassin appears on the screen.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Self: I knew it.

XO_Rya says:
@::Looks at the face and it triggers vauge memories from her first mission with the Europa.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::pulls up a registry list of Peregrin class ships...::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Are we sure the ship is still active?

CNS_Azhure says:
@XO/CO:  I take it you know this individual and we need look no further?

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : Not really chief...

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: I suggest you change the whole system again. In the meantime...

TO_KTracht says:
::having the CEo take care of the two Peregrine fighters, turns his attention to the Bajoran design ship::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::gets up from the conversation with Tel and heads back out of the doubtless transport-shielded building::

XO_Rya says:
@ CNS: I suspect not, but he may have had help from the inside.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: We have had dealings with him in the past, I'm afraid. He for sure has connections here as well. This is going to be complicated.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: I just thought that it would be very easy to blur the registry numbers on an older docked ship and fill it with a bogus crew.

CNS_Azhure says:
@XO/CO:  I will look into the data base on him.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: CEO : We need a clearer image on the ships to fnd that out.. These imges just aren't clear enough..

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: Work with the TO and CEO on the other ships.

CNS_Azhure says:
@Blunt:  Who recommended the update of the system?

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: If I could get specific power signatures from these ships, I'll bet one would match a decom.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ steps back into the alleyway with Mary Jane as he activates the communicator on his wrist:: *Europa*: West to the Europa.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@Azhure: The Grand Nagus did.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: If you would be so kind, we would appreciate a copy of the files pertaining to the system upgrade, the names involved, and pictures -this one included- to be sent to the Europa.

TO_KTracht says:
::checks the dockmaster's records:: CEO : No warp sensor readings, sorry..

CNS_Azhure says:
@CO:  I think we should ask the question of the Grand Nagus then.  It might lead us to the insider.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Hits the COMMlink on the Panel:: COMM:West: Europa Here. Commander go ahead

XO_Rya says:
@ CO/CNS: I agree.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: What about transporter signatures from beam-ins.  The security records should contain those.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@Azhure: The Grand Nagus is not seeing visitors at this time. He is afraid of attempts on his life.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::whispers:: CNS: It might end up being just that somebody took the chance as it was presented.

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes head:: CEO : NEgative.. They don't have that tight a security around here.. GEtting those images was lucky as it is...

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: We understand the Nagus' reasons.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ *OPS*: I'm beaming up to the ship. Contact the Captain. Tell her I have unconfirmed knowledge that Rassin might be involved in this.

XO_Rya says:
@ Blunt: Can he tell you the name and have you pass it along to us?

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : You could try digitally enhancing the images to get a clearer picture..

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::hits a button on the panel:: Senn: I've uploaded the information we have to the Europa as you requested.

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: West: Aye Commander.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Whispers::  CO:  Could be, but your 'friend' seemed to ready.  It wouldn't hurt to find out.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: Does that include all the stock market files? We'll need to be thorough and it would be best using our systems on the ship.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::taps the other button on his wrist and signals the Annex's transporters to beam him back::

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: CO: Europa, here Captain. Commander West has returned to the ship.

XO_Rya says:
@::thinks of something and whispers to the Captain.:: CO: We should not open any files from the computer systems here until we can confirm they are free from viruses.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Slaps her forehead and whispers::  CO/XO:  I might know someone who can get us in to see the Negus... no promises and we had best have plenty of Lantinum.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::Steps off the small pad:: Thunder: Contact headquarters, and start tunning g-loc traces on Rassin and his associates. He's top priority now. This seems like his style. I'm heading to the bridge. ::reaches for his other uniform::

Host CO_Senn says:
@XO: I was thinking the same. We can keep them completely isolated from the main computer, but it will be best if we can analyze them onboard.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::looks a little worried:: Senn: I've been ordered by the Grand Nagus to assist you in any way, but some of our system files are very sensitive..

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: CO: He has unconfirmed information Rassin is behind this crash.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: I could, but I can't promise those numbers will come out any clearer. ::begins image enhacment::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods understandingly:: Blunt: We have the Nagus best interests in mind, Liquidator Blunt. We have the best system and people on the Europa... that would also maintain this inquiry as discreet as the Nagus wishes.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::unzips the black jumpsuit and peels it off::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
<Shard> Thunder: I wish he wouldn't do that in front of us every time... ::whines::

XO_Rya says:
@ CO: Aye sir. ::nods her agreement and makes a mental note to check in with the science department about some security algorithms they'd been developing.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
<Thunder> ::smirks at Shard:: Shard: Why? Jealous?

Host CO_Senn says:
@COM: OPS: Thank you for the update, Lieutenant.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
<Shard> ::scoffs and turns back to his computers::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
 ::steps into his standard trousers and pulls on the light grey Intel tunic::

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: We'll see about that in a moment... we might have to see him.

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Update on the ships.

XO_Rya says:
@CNS: We have latinum.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Got it, I was right, the numbers are still unreadable.  Were no scans conducted on the ships?

XO_Rya says:
@::Doesn't want to get into how much in case the room is bugged and given that notorius Ferengi hearing...::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
MJ: You're in charge down here, Mary. I need an update in... thirty minutes. ::heads upstairs::

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Nods, going back through her memories of where best to find her 'friend'::

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : Negative.. No records of scans, if any where made..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::rides slowly up in the lift, remembering their last run-in with this man::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: What is wrong with these people?

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : Thei're Ferengi, THey worry more about the cost of maintaining recods of scans than the potential hazard of not having them

Host Blunt_FCA says:
@::considers:: Senn: Very well. The information will be uploaded to your ship momentarily. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get to work on hiring a new company to replace our systems... again.

CNS_Azhure says:
@Blunt:  Replace, not update.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::steps out of the lift and walks back out on to the bridge::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Hold on...Latinuum is still transferred by thumbprint PADD ID, right?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks up to Tactical::

Host CO_Senn says:
@Blunt: Thank you. We will return to the Europa and keep you updated. Thank you very much, I will be sure to mention your enthusiasm to catch the culprits to the Nagus.

XO_Rya says:
@:: Smiles slightly at the counselor's comment.::

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: CEO : Correct... Unless it is traded in bars, hand to hand...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::walks back over to the aux console he was using, listening tot he conversation behind him::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::looks at the two officers:: XO, CNS: Shall we?

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Can we get access to those thunbprints?

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Nods and steps towards the center of the room, to await beamout::

XO_Rya says:
@ ::nods:: CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@COM: Europa: Three to beam up.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::brings up the file on Rassin, looking at the man:: Self: Nemesis rears his ugly head...

OPS_Taylor says:
<TR Chief>: COMM: CO: Aye ::Activates the transporters::

XO_Rya says:
@ CNS: I guess we didn't need to worry about the foul weather gear.

Host Blunt_FCA says:
ACTION: They beam up.... bzzzzzz and all that glittery stuff.

Host CO_Senn says:
::materializes on the Europa:: *All Department Heads & Asst. Dept. Heads* Report to the conference room.

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  Thankfully, no.  ::Steps off the padd::  Now for research.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::wipes his fingers over damp hair and leans back, reading the file to reacquaint::

XO_Rya says:
CNS: Indeed.

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS/XO: This calls for a meeting, I'm afraid. Please come with me.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Hands the gear to the TC and follows the captain::
