[17:02] <XO_Durron> Last week on the Europa...The Executive officer remained lost.  The CSO and CTO investigated the place that the XO was beamed to.  The CNS discovered a PADD in Commander Durron's Room, and the FCO took his station on the Danny Crane.

[17:03] <XO_Durron> Will they find the lost commander before it is to late?

[17:03] <XO_Durron> =/\= Begin Mission "Survivor" Pt IV =/\=

[17:05] <FCO_Kami> ::Sitting at the helm, maintaining position along the S.S. Stan Fields.::

[17:06] <CO_Farrel> ::Sighs and puts down a couple PADDs, one containing Durron's file, the other his logs.  She thinks for a moment, and paces the bridge to the science stations.:: DCO: Captain Griffith, I meant to ask you, do you have any ideas why commander Traux's access codes were used to beam Durron off the Crane?

[17:06] <CNS_Chitwa> ::sits on the floor next to the FCO::

[17:07] <FCO_Kami> ::Checks his sensors.:: CO: Ma'am, the U.S.S. Monongahela is moving away.

[17:07] <XO_Durron> <DCO_Griffith>::Looks shocked:: CO: What? Martin would never have anything to do with something like that.

 [17:10] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Understood...  DCO: Well his access codes were used.  ::Reaches for the intercom.:: *DCXO* Commander Traux, report to the bridge immediately.

[17:11] <FCO_Kami> CO: Also, the Engine Room reports that the maximum warp has been brought up to Warp 5

[17:11] <CSO_Halsey> @::still on the Fields:: CO Kiwi: I think I got all that I need. We'll be beaming back to our ship. However, there will be an investigation concerning this ship and its relation to the kidnapping. Please, don't leave this system without getting clearance by Starfleet.

[17:11] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Lovely...

[17:11] <XO_Durron> <DCXO_Truax>::sits up in his quarters and looks at the picture of his wife on the wall::Self: I won't lie. *CO* on the way.

[17:12] <CO_Farrel> *CSO* How is it coming commander?  Any clues as to Durron's whereabouts?

[17:13] <CNS_Chitwa> ::stands up and looks at the CO, shaking her head:: CO: Something's not rrright. Poorrr Mrrr Durrron's in trrrouble.

 [17:14] <XO_Durron> @<SFCO_Kiwi>CSO: You cant make me stay here! I'm a legitimate businessman! If you Starfleet fools make me stay here I'll hold the Federation accountable for every credit I lose!  I'll take it out of your hide little man!

[17:14] <CSO_Halsey> @*CO*: We got a federation transporter signature on the same room Durron's uniform was found. I am beaming back to the Crane.

[17:15] <XO_Durron> <DCXO_Truax> ::walks quietly onto the bridge:: CO: You wanted to see me?

[17:16] <CSO_Halsey> @::grabs the Ferengi by his jacket:: Kiwi: As far as we are concerned, you are accessory to kidnapping an Starfleet officer, and maybe accessory to his death too. I'd be less worried about my business and more about my neck.

[17:17] <CSO_Halsey> @*Crane*: Two to beam back.

[17:18] <FCO_Kami> ::Looks over at the CNS.:: CNS: What do you mean, Chitwa?

[17:18] <CO_Farrel> CNS: Yes...  what were your thoughts on the contents of the PADD?

[17:18] <CNS_Chitwa> FCO/CO: Well it's all rrrumorrrs, nothing definite. I think they don't rrreally know what's going on.

[17:19] <XO_Durron> @<SFCO_Kiwi>::Looks shocked and tries to get away from the CSO::CSO: You can't do that! That’s assault!  I cooperated with you! Let me go!  I've got a passengers aboard 
and just enough food for them to make it back to their home.  I can't afford to stay here!'

[17:19] <CO_Farrel> *CSO* Acknowledged, analyze that signature, see if you can trace it to a specific ship.

[17:20] <CO_Farrel> DCXO: Yes I did.  ::Looks at Traux carefully.::  Why were your access codes used to beam Durron off the ship?

[17:20] <XO_Durron> <DCXO_Truax>::Stands quietly by the Europa's captain sitting in Nat's seat::CO: Ma'am, that is likely because I gave them out.

[17:21] <FCO_Kami> Self: Hm....

[17:21] <CO_Farrel> DCXO: Why?

[17:22] <CSO_Halsey> @*Crane's TR*: Delay that order. Kiwi: Bare with me a little longer and you'll be able to leave the system. Let me see your sensor logs. ::walks to the Engineering station on the bridge::

[17:22] <XO_Durron> <DCXO_Truax>::folds his hands behind his back::CO: Because I was approached on Andor by a person carrying a live feed of my wife, and our two children...the people who had them were masked and armed.

[17:23] <CNS_Chitwa> Truax: The dirrrty dogs!

[17:24] <XO_Durron> @<SFCO_Kiwi>::looks a bit flustered but opens out the sensor logs for the Federation officer::CSO: I'll do anything, just let me go.

 [17:24] <CO_Farrel> ::Sighs and frowns.::  DCXO: I see.  That was why you were upset on the planet...  Any idea who these people are, or why they are doing this?

[17:25] <XO_Durron> <DCXO_Truax>CO: No, except that they are well equipped, If I didn't know better I'd say the bulkhead behind my wife looked like it was from a Federation ship but I couldn't be sure.

[17:26] <CSO_Halsey> @::checks the sensors just to find nothing useful to trace the beaming:: Kiwi: Could we talk in private? ::motions what it seems to be the Captain's RR::

[17:26] <CNS_Chitwa> Truax: And why would they want Mrrr. Durrron? ::hands on hips, tail twitching::

[17:26] <CO_Farrel> DCXO: So they still have your family?  Where were they kidnapped from?  And, are the authorities there investigating the crime scene?

[17:27] <FCO_Kami> CO: Ma'am, the Monongahela has exited the nebula and entered warp.

[17:27] <XO_Durron> <SFCO_Kiwi> @::precedes the CSO into his officer and looks around, than sits in the only chair::CSO: What?

 [17:28] <CO_Farrel> FCO: As much as I hate to go on wild goose chases... we don't have any other leads, lay in a pursuit course for that ship at max warp, and engage on my mark Lt.

[17:29] <CO_Farrel> *CSO* Mr. Halsey, we have to go rather urgently... are you almost finished getting what you need there?

[17:29] <XO_Durron> <DCXO_Truax>CO: She told me that if I tried to get in touch with them it would end in blood...All I know is that she never contacted me at the time we agreed on but...

[17:30] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye. ::Sets in the course for the Monongahela.:: Pursuit course ready on your mark, ma'am.

[17:30] <CO_Farrel> DCXO: And your sure, you have no idea who or why they are doing this?  ::Scans him telepathically as he answers.::

[17:30] <CSO_Halsey> @Kiwi: You seem like an intelligent business man. I can see you have the lobes for business. You wouldn't let anyone beam aboard your ship without your permission. I bet there's more that passengers aboard, more valuable goods, and you wouldn't let anyone steal from you. So, whoever beamed here had your permission. I'll ask just once: who beamed to that room? Who paid you to look the other way?

[17:33] <XO_Durron> <SFCO_Kiwi>@::looks around fearful::CSO: I can't tell!  It was an empty room, You got what you wanted.  Time is money!  I've got to go, your captain wants you to go to.  People will die if I don't go.

 [17:33] <CO_Farrel> *CSO* Cmdr., I'm afraid our time is up...

[17:34] <CO_Farrel> FCO: How fast is that ship going Lt.?

 [17:34] <FCO_Kami> CO: Maximum of Warp 5, ma'am

 [17:35] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Access navigational sensors, could the Robert Carson intercept her?

[17:35] <CSO_Halsey> @*CO*: On my way. Kiwi: If we don’t get anything with the other ship, I'll be back. ::touches this badge and is beamed back to the Crane where he heads to the bridge::

 [17:36] <XO_Durron> @<SFCO_Kiwi> ::sighs relieved than orders his crew to get them moving again.::

[17:36] <CO_Farrel> <Transporter Chief> *CO* Commander Halsey's team is aboard sir.  

[17:36] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Helm, warp 5, engage!  ::Moves to her seat and plunks down.::

[17:37] <FCO_Kami> CO: The Robert Carson could intercept, but it would put them behind schedule, ma'am.

[17:37] <CSO_Halsey> ::takes the TL:: Computer: Bridge.

[17:37] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye, warp 5. ::Engages at warp 5.::

[17:38] <XO_Durron> Action: The Stan Fields turns and shoots smoothly to warp seven screaming out of the system.  The Danny Crane however shudders and squeals than stammers to a shaky warp five.

[17:39] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Can we go any faster?

[17:39] <FCO_Kami> CO: No ma'am.

[17:40] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Reroute auxiliary power to the warp engines, get us faster, somehow Lt.... ::Desperation in her voice.::

[17:41] <CSO_Halsey> ::as he opens the door of the TL he finds a toilet:: Self: This thing has no TL, what was I thinking?

[17:42] <FCO_Kami> CO: Ma'am, we are closing in on the Monongahela.

[17:42] <FCO_Kami> CO: ...slowly.

[17:42] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Intercept her... what's our ETA?  And what class is she?

[17:44] <CSO_Halsey> ::enters the bridge and checks the data he got from the Fields with the Monongahela's signature:: CO: Capt, according to the Fields logs, that ship was the only in transporter range at the time of the beamings.

[17:44] <CO_Farrel> ::Nods and looks relieved.:: CSO: Good, at least we now know we're chasing the right ship...

[17:45] <FCO_Kami> CO: She's a Danube Class Runabout. ETA: Three days two, hours, fifteen minutes. Going any faster than we are isn't advised.

[17:47] <CSO_Halsey> CO: I bet that Ferengi captain knew more that he admitted.

[17:47] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Three days?  ::Almost pouts.:: By then who knows what they could have done to our Mr. Durron...  Hmmm... ask the Robert Carson if they could intercept that runabout.

[17:48] <CO_Farrel> ::Turns in her chair, facing the rear science stations.:: CSO: Oh? ::Stops herself short from saying that's to be expected from the Ferengi.::  Seemed tense did he?

 [17:50] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye. COM:Robert Carson: CO: Is there any possibility of you assisting us in chasing down the Monongahela?

[17:50] <CSO_Halsey> CSO: He gave me the legitimate businessman speech, that's almost a confession for me.

[17:51] <CO_Farrel> CSO: I'm sorry I couldn't have given you more time...

[17:52] <XO_Durron> <CO_Dulami>COM: Danny Crane: FCO: Negative, We are quite busy at this time.  I've got your location locked into the helm and we will be in rout as soon as possible but I've got my hands full right now.

[17:53] <CSO_Halsey> CO: He would have pointed to this runabout anyway. I don’t think he asked too many questions before taking the money. Probably he never met whoever hired him.

[17:53] <XO_Durron> ACTION: The ship shutters and shrieks, coffee spills on the rug.

[17:54] <FCO_Kami> COM: Robert Carson: CO: Thank you, ma'am. I understand. I'll inform my CO. CO: The Robert Carson is too busy to help. Sorry ma'am.

[17:55] <CO_Farrel> ::Nods to the CSO.  She never trusted a species she couldn't scan, and the Ferengi four-lobed brain was impossible for Betazoids to read.  As the ship shakes Hali breaks her thoughts.::  All: What was that?

[17:55] <CO_Farrel> FCO: It was worth a try.  Thank you Lt.

[17:55] <CSO_Halsey> ::checks his console::

[17:55] <FCO_Kami> ::Nods and turns back to his console.::

[17:56] <FCO_Kami> ::Examines his console and the sensors for the reason behind the shutters and shrieks.::

[17:57] <XO_Durron> ACTION: A hair raising Three days and two hours pass, The Danny Crane is about to drop out of warp after the Monongahela.  The destination is still mostly unknown.

[17:57] <CNS_Chitwa> ::sits on the floor next to the FCO, wishing the shaking would stop::

[17:57] <FCO_Kami> ::Is getting annoyed at the chase.::

[17:58] <FCO_Kami> ::Looks over at the CNS.:: CNS: The shaking is getting annoying, isn't it?

[17:58] <XO_Durron> ACTION: The Monongahela fades from sensors.

[17:59] <FCO_Kami> ::Notices a beep on his console and turns back to it with widened eyes.:: CO: The Monongahela has disappeared, ma'am!

[17:59] <CNS_Chitwa> ::nods:: FCO: I can't feel my butt anymorrre.

[18:00] <CSO_Halsey> CO: We have the Mon on SR sensors...three lifeforms aboard.....::looks at his console surprised:: CO: We HAD the ship in the sensors.

[18:00] <FCO_Kami> CNS: Aw. Maybe you should go walk around a bit,... if you still can....

[18:00] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Oh no...  ::Swivels the squeaky command chair to face Halsey.:: CSO: Full scan Cmdr., what happened to her?

[18:00] <FCO_Kami> ::Slows the ship to impulse.::

[18:01] <CNS_Chitwa> FCO: I think I'd play in the holodeck when we get home.

[18:01] <CO_Farrel> ::Notices the ship drop to impulse.:: FCO: We in range?

[18:01] <FCO_Kami> ::Smiles at the CNS.:: Still up for playing that game with me?

[18:02] <CNS_Chitwa> ::nods:: FCO: Of courrrse.

[18:03] <CSO_Halsey> ::makes a full sensor sweep:: CO: We have a verteron particle surge directly behind of us.

[18:03] <FCO_Kami> CO: Yes ma'am. We have arrived at the Briar Patch.

[18:03] <FCO_Kami> CNS: I'm glad to hear that.

[18:04] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Full stop.

 [18:04] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye, ma'am. Full stop. ::Brings the ship to a halt.::

[18:05] <CNS_Chitwa> ::falls over onto her face as the ship stops::

[18:05] <CSO_Halsey> CO: Bird of Prey decloaking sir!

[18:05] <FCO_Kami> CNS:: I'm sorry Chitwa. Are you alright?

[18:05] <CNS_Chitwa> ::pushes her tail off of her face and sits up:: FCO: Yeah I'm okay

[18:06] <CO_Farrel> CSO: Verterons... ::thinks back to a class on wormholes then is broken from her reverie.:: FCO: Shields up...  hail them.

[18:06] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye. ::Raises shields and hails the ship.::

[18:07] <XO_Durron> ACTION: The battered Bird of Prey streaks across the Danny Crane firing disruptors at the federation ship.  The blasts spark off the shields but power surges around the Crane, systems, and lights, flicker.  Darkness falls on the bridge...
