@::sits back in his command chair and motions:: Jerah: Ahead 1/4 Impulse .......

TO_Blair says:
@::looks at Commander Rojas and points to a seat at the far end of the Retaliation:: Rojas: There will do ..Sir.. ::spoken in an almost whisper::

MO_Jerah says:
@XO: Aye sir

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::looks at Blair:: Blair: I think you might need some Tactical help Blair ....... ::turns to Madred:: XO: With your permission sir .......

TO_Blair says:
@::looks at Rojas and waits for the XO to ok it::

^CEO_Joey says:
#::in command of the Courageous::

OPS_Marti says:
#:: At OPS -  USS Courageous ::

XO_Madred says:
@::nods at Rojas:: Rojas: Take back up Tactical .... Blair: Lieutenant, take primary.

^OPS_Marti says:
#CEO: All systems nominal

^EO_Modane says:
#Helm: Take us out 1/2 impulse.

TO_Blair says:
@::stands with her hands clasped behind her back::   XO: yes sir.. ::moves to the station not looking at Rojas::

Host F`agin says:
$::Approaching co-ordinates that he had been given ::

OPS_Gridle says:
@::calibrates the sensors for area sweeps::

XO_Madred says:
@Gridle: Verify the Courageous is departing as well?

Host F`agin says:
$O’D: We are nearing those set co-ordinates

Host Ian says:
$::waiting for the Geneva to show at expected coordinates::

CSO_Taurik says:
@::walking towards the bridge::

OPS_Gridle says:
@::nods, and checks his screen::

Host F`agin says:
$O'D: Think they will bring the credits?

OPS_Marti says:
#:: initiating long range sensor sweeps ::

Host F`agin says:
$::chuckles evilly ::

TO_Blair says:
@:;checks out the ships weapons systems and nods to Rojas that all is well ::

O^Donna says:
F'agin: My contacts are usually reliable.  If not, they don't stay around for long.

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::nods back not entirely comfortable so close to her with so much unresolved between them::

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: You have the bridge, Sir.

Host F`agin says:
$::slows ships to a near stop at set point ::

OPS_Gridle says:
@XO: Sir, They are right behind us..

^CO_Joey says:
#::Takes command::

Host F`agin says:
$O’D: They had best be

Host Ian says:
$::watches as the Geneva comes to a stop::

TO_Blair says:
@::a more confused woman than she has ever felt before wonders what the day has in store for them.. Hopefully, not as bad as hers has been::

O^Donna says:
$::nods::  F'agin:  yes, they had better be. ::frowns::

CO_Madred says:
@::nods at Gridle:: Gridle: Advise Courageous to set course for there destination ..... Ulera Nebula.

^XO_Modane says:
#COM: Retaliation: Jafo: We are breaking formation and beginning the search. Good hunting Commander.

TO_Blair says:
@::stands at her station:: CO: Sir all is fine with the ships systems.. does not appear to different.. ::looks at Rojas..:: I am sure the Commander here can fill us in on the different aspects of the Retaliation if need be

Host F`agin says:
$::sends a pulse train out, Three longs and a short ::

Host Ian says:
$::enjoys watching from a cloaked ship::

CO_Madred says:
@:;waves at Gridle to skip it and opens a com on his panel:: COM: Courageous: Very well, Courageous.  Take it easy.

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: Set course for the convoy.....

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Man the science station Mr. Modane.

Host Ian says:
$::returns the answering pings::

Host F`agin says:
$::smiles::

CSO_Taurik says:
@::enters the bridge of the Retaliation::

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: Aye sir.

OPS_Gridle says:
@::turns back to his station:

CO_Madred says:
@::nods at Taurik:: Taurik: Welcome aboard, Doc.

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Attempting to access Geneva Command codes - transmitting command code jamming signal on all frequencies ::

^CO_Joey says:
#Helm: Plot a course for the convoy

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Acting CSO Taurik reporting for duty sir.

Host Ian says:
$COM: Fagin: So how did it go?  Any pursuit?

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: Should I man helm too?

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Thank you... Captain.

TO_Blair says:
@:;looks over her systems as she tries to pay no attention to Rojas who is only inches away::

CO_Madred says:
@::nods at Taurik:: Taurik: Take your station Lieutenant.

Host F`agin says:
$Com: Ian: Ian, I have company. But smoothly

OPS_Gridle says:
@::finishes recalibrating sensors:

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Accessing stellar cartography - Locating possible hideaway ::

CSO_Taurik says:
@::takes the science station::

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::crosses over to an open science panel and runs a quick scan::

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Take the helm and bring us to the nebula. Not overworking you I hope?

^XO_Modane says:
#::sets course for the nebula at full impulse ::

O^Donna says:
$::watches F'agin, listening::

Host Ian says:
$COM: Fagin: I expected nothing less. Who is your guest?

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: Sensors are calibrated for the sensor sweep sir..

OPS_Marti says:
#CEO: The Geneva is not showing up in any of my scans 

CSO_Taurik says:
@::looks at readings on the console. All is normal.::

CO_Madred says:
@::stands and stretches:: Blair: take us to Yellow Alert.

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: I recommend Yellow alert sir.

CO_Madred says:
@::moves a step towards the FCO position:: Jerah: Advise when we are nearing the convoy ....

Host F`agin says:
$COM: Ian : A creature named O'Donna

TO_Blair says:
@:;watches her viewer in preparation for the sweep::   CO: Yes sir    ALL: Yellow alert.. ::activates the system::

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: Acknowledged. We'll encounter interference in the Nebula. Can you compensate sensors for that?

^CO_Joey says:
#ALL: Yellow Alert.

Host Ian says:
$COM: O’Donna: So, what is your part in this escapade?

^XO_Modane says:
#::Increases speed to warp 1 ::

MO_Jerah says:
@CO: Okay, will do

OPS_Marti says:
#CEO: Aye, aye sir, but we will have only a limited range if none

TO_Blair says:
@::turns the volume down on the alert::

CO_Madred says:
@::heads for the replicator on the bridge:: Gridle: Verify telemetry from USS Forrestal.

O^Donna says:
$::frowns at the description of her::

^XO_Modane says:
#::activates yellow alert ::

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: Do your best.

O^Donna says:
$Ian:  let's just say I am playing middleman right now.

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Trying to compensate ::

CSO_Taurik says:
@::performing normal science duties::

CO_Madred says:
@::glances at Gridle wondering if he heard him::

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: Approaching the nebula in 3 minutes.

CSO_Taurik says:
@::whatever they may be... :)::

Host Ian says:
$COM: O’Donna:  As much as you love money, why am I not surprised you are here?

TO_Blair says:
@::brushing her hand across the panel, she watches the systems and prepares for the different things that may happen on this new ship::

OPS_Gridle says:
@::taps some keys:: CO : Telemetry coming in loud and clear sir..

Host F`agin says:
$::arches eyebrow and smiles::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: I'm still scanning on all frequencies

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::heads back to the Secondary TAC position and verifies power to shield systems::

Host F`agin says:
$::leans against console ::

CO_Madred says:
@::nods at Gridle and sits back in the Command Chair::

O^Donna says:
$Ian: Money has it place and purpose in life ::glares at F'agin::

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: If they find anything, we will see it as well..

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Statistics on the nebula.

TO_Blair says:
@CO: All systems are operating normal sir.. I see no hitches

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Nothing is showing up yet

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: We are dropping to impulse and entering the nebula on your mark.

O^Donna says:
$Ian:  what brings you this way might I ask?

MO_Jerah says:
CO: We are approaching the convoy now.

CO_Madred says:
@Blair: Understood..... ::sips his Raktajino::

Host Ian says:
$COM: Fagin: This close to the nebula, we should be undetected.  You have taken all precautions?

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: Slow to impulse ....... Blair: Shields .......

TO_Blair says:
@:;listens to Jerah as she speaks and verifies the position::

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Very well. Drop to impulse and begin nebula approach.

CO_Madred says:
@Gridle: Open a channel to the lead ship.... on screen.

Host F`agin says:
$Com: Ian: Don't I always? I "washed " the ships signature by going through the nebula

OPS_Gridle says:
@::opens the channel and patches it through to the screen:: CO : Ready sir..

^XO_Modane says:
#::drops to impulse::

Host Ian says:
$COM: O’Donna: Ever heard the expression "curiosity killed the cat:?

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::hears the shield command and gets out of Blair's way::

TO_Blair says:
@CO: Yes sir.. ::activates the shields as she glances over to mark Rojas::

MO_Jerah says:
@::slows to impulse::

Host Ian says:
$COM: Fagin: Any causalities?

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: We should search the outside of the nebula first

O^Donna says:
$COM: Ian: Meowww.....

OPS_Gridle says:
@::starts scanning for the Geneva::

CSO_Taurik says:
@::eyes the bridge staff::

CO_Madred says:
@::stands:: COM: Convoy Lead: This is Commander Madred of the Federation Border Escort USS Retaliation.  We are conducting a search of the area.  Please respond.

Host F`agin says:
$Com: Ian: You should know me better than that ::grins ::

TO_Blair says:
@::notices how smooth the whole system works on this ship::

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Agreed. Begin scanning. Coordinate with OPS for compensation.

CSO_Taurik says:
@::begins scans at the science station::

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Sending Geneva command codes - trying to access remotely the Geneva comm systems ::

CO_Madred says:
@Taurik: Any idea how to penetrate the cloak that was being used on the Geneva?

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: We should also raise shields as a precaution.

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: Good, the section would not be please if anyone had been injured.

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: We are in Yellow Alert.

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: The dominion has penetrated cloaking devices using proton scans. I suggest we modify scanners to do the same.

Host F`agin says:
$ Com: Ian: I had all of them gassed and then transported aboard the SB Lower levels

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Sir, what if we tried to blow the Geneva up remotely?

^XO_Modane says:
#:: double checks the shields ::

Host Convoy_CO says:
&Com: Geneva: Can we be of assistance?

TO_Blair says:
@::takes a deep breath and clears her mind of all outside interference:: CSO: What frequency?

O^Donna says:
$::quietly listens while checking her wrist band::

^XO_Modane says:
#::engages full impulse ::

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: ::chuckles:: I should have known you would have been creative.

CO_Madred says:
@COM: Convoy: Captain, we would like permission to scan the hulls of the ships in your convoy.

^XO_Modane says:
#::scanning for all unusual energy trails ::

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::moves to prepare to scan the ships weapons::

Host F`agin says:
$ Com: Ian: the hard part was letting me get my hands aboard this prototype from R & D

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: We don't know the status of the Geneva. Even so, I don’t want to lose that ship just yet.

Host Convoy_CO says:
&Com: Geneva: Sure, go ahead, we've got absolutely nothing to hide from you.  Is there something in particular you are looking for?

TO_Blair says:
@:;moves over a tad to let Rojas more access::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Aye, aye sir

^XO_Modane says:
#::remodulates the deflector to produce an energy wave(like a sonar) and scan for the Geneva.

CO_Madred says:
@Taurik: Do it .......

Host Ian says:
$COM: O'Donna: What is the price you were asking for this adventure?

TO_Blair says:
@:;listens in at the COM watching for what the scans may show on her viewer::

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Aye, Captain.

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Any luck yet?

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Still Scanning ::

O^Donna says:
$COM: Ian: that is for me to know, and for you to find out.

CO_Madred says:
@::steps closer to the View Screen as the Convoy CO thinks it over::

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: No sir.

CSO_Taurik says:
@::reconfigures the scanners into a proton scanner.::

O^Donna says:
$COM:  Ian: on second thought, you need not know.

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Monitoring Defiant power grid ::

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Aye.

Host Ian says:
$COM: O’Donna: I suggest you curb that tongue, if you want payment.

Host F`agin says:
$ Com: Ian: what is the plan now? Bring it to a neutral SB where they can "find it "? ::chuckles::

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Recalibrating power grid to Seek and destroy configurations ::

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Captain, reconfiguration of the scanners is complete.

OPS_Gridle says:
@::starts going over each ship separately, looking for any Federation signatures::

^XO_Modane says:
#::tries to send out a command code remotely that might vent all plasma from the Geneva ::

CO_Madred says:
@COM: Convoy CO: I am afraid I am unable to release that information.  Captain, have you been in contact with any other Federation ships today?

O^Donna says:
$COM:  Ian: And I would advise you to play your role if you want this to pan out.

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: I think a nice asteroid would do as well, they need this exercise in humility.

CO_Madred says:
@All: Okay, lets start scanning these freighters.  Ember we are looking for any federation technology that we can link back to the Geneva.

^XO_Modane says:
#:: attempts another energy pulse ::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Still nothing coming from the Geneva. I have nothing on my scans

TO_Blair says:
@::nods at the CO and gets to work.. ::

Host Convoy_CO says:
&Com: Geneva: No contact, but it sure would make it easier if we knew what you were looking for.

OPS_Gridle says:
@::nods::

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Yes, Captain.

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::heads across the bridge and brings the lateral sensor array online::

Host F`agin says:
$::Chuckles:: Com : Ian ::looks over astro-navigation charts :: we have that one 3 L/Y away

Host Ian says:
$COM: O’Donna: Have you stripped the Geneva of all that is saleable?

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@Madred: Lateral Sensors online, Captain.

O^Donna says:
$COM: Ian: how far do we take this?  Not yet....

CSO_Taurik says:
@::starts scanning the freighters and surrounding space with the proton scanners and the normal scanners::

OPS_Gridle says:
@::locks sensors on one ship at a time::

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: Take us right down in front of them ......

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: Looks good to me, lets stay in the nebula to mask our trail.

Host F`agin says:
$::starts plotting course ::

Host Convoy_CO says:
THE SIGNALS SENT OUT BY THE SEARCH VESSELS DETECT SOMETHING INDETERMINATE, BUT NEVERTHELESS SOMETHING

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: I’ve got something at 125 mark 210. Its an echo of my energy pulse

Host F`agin says:
$ COM: Ian: Follow my lead

Host Ian says:
$COM: O’Donna: Be prepared to beam the remaining saleables to my ship.

MO_Jerah says:
@CO: Yes sir

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Can you identify it?

TO_Blair says:
@:;begins scanning the outer region bringing in the scans in a circle around their current position::

CO_Madred says:
@::turns to his command console and begins going over the specific information coming in::

O^Donna says:
$Comm: Ian: Very well

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Captain, I am detecting an unidentifiable anomaly.

Host F`agin says:
$::initiates the drive ::

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: No sir, setting course to intercept.

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: Send the coordinates and will shadow your course.

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Look sharp.

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: May I suggest bringing weapons on line

O^Donna says:
$F'agin: you have some explaining to do.  Right now I need to go finish up on the ship.

OPS_Gridle says:
@::briefly looks at the telemetry from the Courageous::

TO_Blair says:
@::gathers the information and runs it through the ships computer:: CO: Nothing as of yet Sir

CO_Madred says:
@::glances at Taurik:: Taurik: Then identify it ......

Host F`agin says:
$ O’d: Go finish what you will, there is time for talk later

CO_Madred says:
@::nods at Blair:: Jerah: Pace us with them, Ensign.

Host F`agin says:
$::sends course and ranges ::

TO_Blair says:
@:;glances up at Taurik.. he has something her scans missed::

O^Donna says:
$::shakes her head::  F'agin:  I doubt it.  Either way I will make it quick.

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Sir, the anomaly is unregistered in our computers.

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Not yet, be ready.

Host Ian says:
$<CEO>: Prepare the cargo bay for the rest of the Geneva equipment.

OPS_Marti says:
#:: trying to acknowledge the source of the signal::

Host Convoy_CO says:
THE TWO THIEVES BEGIN TO DETECT THAT THEY ARE PAWNS IN A BIGGER SCHEME

O^Donna says:
$::heads back into the Geneva taking care of things::

OPS_Gridle says:
@Taurik: That is coming from the Courageous telemetry..

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: approaching the co ordinates.

Host F`agin says:
$::starts slowing as they approach the asteroid field ::

TO_Blair says:
@:;punches at her panel trying to get the same information as she frowns::

CO_Madred says:
::frowns:: Taurik: Any thoughts?  Tie in the Dorsal sensor pallet ... see if you can get a stronger signal.

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Communicating signal position to All Federation Ships in the sector ::

Host F`agin says:
$::starts the unclamping maneuvers ::

^XO_Modane says:
#::slows down and starts emitting very sharp energy waves ::

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Anything?

^XO_Modane says:
#^CO: still scanning

Host Ian says:
$COM: Section 31: Sir, we have the Geneva and are transporting the rest of the equipment.  She will be bare as a babies behind when we finish.

OPS_Marti says:
#:: transferring power to XO console ::

CO_Madred says:
@::looks from Gridle to Taurik and back again:: Both: So?

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: I cannot get a stronger signal. The proton scans are detecting the anomaly alone. Not the conventional scanners.

Host F`agin says:
$ Com: Ian: Shall we lade the things aboard this craft?

OPS_Gridle says:
@::shakes his head:: CO : Sir.. Here, have a look.. The Courageous has found an echo in their sensor sweep.. Pretty good idea I should say..

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: I cannot yet confirm the identity of the signal sir

TO_Blair says:
@CO: I have nothing on my scans.. I am at a loss as to what they are showing.. ::does not wait for a reply but continues to scan::

CO_Madred says:
@::sighs and looks at his command console:: Gridle: Any conclusions?

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: I'm still scanning

CSO_Taurik says:
@::raises an eyebrow::

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::moves over next to Gridle to see what he is talking about::

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: Look for anything. The smallest click could give it away.

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: Yes, after all, minor things can cause major discomforts ::chuckles evilly::

O^Donna says:
$::stands around the bridge with a screw driver in hand, admiring her work::

^XO_Modane says:
#::scans for an Ion trail ::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Aye, aye sir, I have an echo but no id

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: Not yet, Sir.. But it seems like an echo form a big ship.. The size of a freighter sir.. Can't be more specific..

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: How long would it take to get to this signal?

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Scanning in active mode - all frequencies ::

TO_Blair says:
@::hands glide over the console as the lights on it flicker and dance.. she finally gets the same readouts as OPS::

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: Do you mean audio?

CO_Madred says:
@Gridle: Open a channel to the Courageous ......

Host F`agin says:
$ Com: Ian: I will see about changing their database for their replicators as well ::chuckles:: be odd they ask for a chocolate and get Ga'gh

OPS_Gridle says:
@::nods, and opens a channel::

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: May I suggest firing a weak phaser burst and see if it will bounce off the thing ahead of us

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Trying to determine the ID of the form ::

CSO_Taurik says:
@::analyzing the scan results::

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: How deliciously malicious!

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: No sir more like a background ping

CO_Madred says:
@COM: Courageous: This is Madred, we are monitoring a vessel in your sensor echo, Courageous.  Can you investigate?

Host Sect_31 says:
$Com: Ian: Okay, petty theft is NOT to be conducted, as you were told earlier

MO_Jerah says:
@CO: Signal is coming in now sir

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: That might be too harsh.

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Picking a Comm from Mister Madred

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: A weak burst will not do much damage

O^Donna says:
$::heads back into the shuttle::

Host F`agin says:
$::Transports all Torpedoes and phasers off the Geneva ::

Host Ian says:
$COM: Sec 31: If we don't take something, there might be reason to look at us Sir.  Only minor equipment is being removed or reprogrammed.

^CO_Joey says:
#COM: Retaliation: Sir. Detecting the echo ourselves. Attempting to identify.

O^Donna says:
$COM: Ian: all is set and ready.

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: this might be the only way to uncover and it will not hurt whatever is there

TO_Blair says:
@::monitors the situation on her panel::

Host F`agin says:
$ COM: O’D: Then come back aboard, we are out of here

Host Sect_31 says:
&Com: Ian: You well allow the vapor trail to be detected by the search team....  and you will return those weapons, or suffer the consequences..... as you know, we are watching you, very closely

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: Sir?

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: I suggest we used the deflector dish to emit more proton particles to get more conclusive results.

CO_Madred says:
@COM: Courageous: Understood, Lieutenant.  Let us know if you need assistance.

Host Ian says:
$COM: O’Donna: Beam back the weapons to the Geneva.  I told you only minor equipment.

Host Ian says:
$COM: Sec 31: Very well sir.

O^Donna says:
$::walks up behind F'agin a determined look on her face::

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: And what if it’s not the Geneva? Can we risk getting blown to bits by an unknown vessel?

Host F`agin says:
$COM: Ian: We have all the petty stuff and the weapons you wanted as well, ready to depart

CO_Madred says:
@Taurik: We will leave this one up to the Courageous.... Lets concentrate on these freighters.  All: Anything yet?  How far along are we?

OPS_Gridle says:
@::shakes his head, then turns to the screen, trying to squeeze any more information on that echo::

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: you can hail it first.

Host Sect_31 says:
THE SECTION 31 SHIP DECLOAKS NEAR THE GENEVA AND INDICATES ITS INTENT, ITS SERIOUS INTENT, NOT TO ALLOW ANYTHING TO BE STOLEN

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Yes, captain.

O^Donna says:
$F'agin: you heard him, beam the weapons back to the Geneva.

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::nods at Madred’s decision and redirects the sensor arrays to scanning the convoy fleet::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: I have it... It's the Geneva

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Anticipate my orders. I would've thought u did that already.

Host F`agin says:
$::sighs and beams back the weaponry ::

CSO_Taurik says:
@::starts scanning the "visible" freighters::

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: Intercepting

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: Report?

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: Nothing yet sir.. Coming up blank on every freighter so far.. Not many left..

^XO_Modane says:
#::engages full impulse ::

Host F`agin says:
$Com: Ian: Weapons beamed back

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Taking CTO Command codes - Charging weapons ::

CO_Madred says:
@Gridle: Okay, advise when scans are complete ........ ::sighs leaning back in his chair::

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: we have a decloaked ship ahead.

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: Beam yourself and O’Donna aboard, and leave the Geneva at station keeping.

TO_Blair says:
@:;agrees with OPS and continues her scans::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: All systems nominal, ready for red alert sir at your command

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: On screen.

Host F`agin says:
$ COM: Ian: And what of this vessel?

OPS_Gridle says:
@::continues his scans, but keep a very close eye on the telemetry from the Courageous::

^XO_Modane says:
#::activates screen ::

Host Ian says:
$::recloaks the ship and waits for the two conspirators to beam aboard::

O^Donna says:
$::mumbles:: great  F'agin:  and then a few answers here...

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: What was it?

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Locking phasers on the target ::

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: The nebula is interfering.

Host Ian says:
$COM: F`agin: I suggest you beam now, as the Geneva has been detected.  Do you wish to stay behind and answer their questions?

Host F`agin says:
$ O' D: you heard her beam aboard her ship

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Trying to reach the Geneva main computer remotely ::

TO_Blair says:
@:;thinks how they could be out here forever investigating every twitch on the sensors.. and wonders if there may be a better way::

CO_Madred says:
@::finishes his cup of Raktajino and sets it down in frustration::

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: Entering the nebula.

^XO_Modane says:
#::slows down ::

O^Donna says:
$COM: Ian: not likely

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Can you punch a hole through the interference?

CSO_Taurik says:
@::still scanning the freighters for anything "unusual"::

O^Donna says:
$::initiates transport beam::

^XO_Modane says:
#::fires a series of sensor probes to act as  a sensor grid::

Host Sect_31 says:

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: Okay ...... take us to the next set of coordinates ... warp four.

O^Donna says:
$Ian:  I guess I should say thank you.  However, I wouldn't mind a few extra answers here....?

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Suggestion noted. Red Alert.

CO_Madred says:
@Gridle: Like what? ::heads for the Command Chair::

TO_Blair says:

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::looks at Blair strangely::

Host Ian says:
$O’Donna:  Here is a padd with the credits, and I might say, more that you asked for ::hands her the padd::

OPS_Gridle says:

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: Yes sir.. Incoming transmission from the Courageous sir..

Host Ian says:
$O’Donna:  I suggest that you do NOT want to know anything else.  Just be content with your money and leave it at that.

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: We can't hit what we can’t see.

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: They are communicating they have found a ship in the nebula..

CO_Madred says:
@Gridle: Advise Forrestal to close on the Courageous's location.

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: I think.. They want us to join them sir..

^CO_Joey says:

TO_Blair says:

$O’Donna: Now lets discuss our next venture.  I understand that a shipment of gold latinum is being diverted to the SB.  It will be left for 24 hours.

^XO_Modane says:

CO_Madred says:
@::nods and leans forward as he feels the engines surge underneath his feet::

O^Donna says:
$Ian:  yes, but considering the theft of the Geneva, security will be extra tight.

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: We have found the Geneva

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: ETA to the area of conflict?

Host Sect_31 says:
WHILE THE THIEVES DISCUSS THEIR NEXT VENTURE.... THEY VACATE THE GENEVA, LEAVING IT EMPTY AND ALONE, IN DEEP, DARK SPACE.... WHERE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM

CO_Madred says:
@OPS: How far out is the Forrestal?

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: They are escaping... I'm standing by for orders

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: They’re gone. Disarm phasers.

MO_Jerah says:
@CO: Approaching in 5 minutes.

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: faster.... fly her apart if you have to?

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: ETA 5 minutes sir..

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: We can run after them

^CO_Joey says:
#OPS: Our priority is the Geneva right now.

CO_Madred says:
@Blair: Ready on weapons.....

MO_Jerah says:
CO: Alright sir

OPS_Marti says:
#:: Dropping from red alert ::

CO_Madred says:
@Taurik: Any idea what is going on there?

TO_Blair says:
@CO: Yes sir.. all at ready..

^XO_Modane says:

Host Sect_31 says:
THE SECTION 31 SHIP BRIEFLY DECLOAKS AGAIN, AND QUICKLY FIRES A VOLLEY, A DEADLY VOLLEY, AT THE THIEVES TRANSPORT VESSEL

Host Sect_31 (Torpedos.wav)

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: There is insufficient data to support any hypothesis.

^XO_Modane says:
#:: grabs Geneva with a tractor beam ::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Aye, aye sir

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Sir should we regain control of the Geneva

Host Ian says:
$O’Donna:  My dear, where did you get the combination to the vault? ::his esteem rises of his companion::

Host Sect_31 says:
THE THIEVES SHIP IS HIT..... AND WHAT IS LEFT ISN'T WORTH SCANNING FOR

CO_Madred says:
@Taurik: Then guess.... ::practically spits the words at him::

@CO: I got it as well sir..

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: The ship fired upon has been destroyed.

TO_Blair says:
@:;her heart sinks hoping it is not the rest of their crew::

CO_Madred says:
@::nods:: Jerah: Drop us to full impulse ...

MO_Jerah says:
@CO: We are approaching now captain.

CO_Madred says:
@Blair: Lock on your targets and prepare to fire .......

Host Ian says:
$::hopes that O’Donna didn't see the freighter explode::

CO_Madred says:
@COM: Courageous: This is Madred, we are on station.....

TO_Blair says:

@:;is more than ready is eager::

Host Sect_31 says:
THE LAST THOUGHTS OF THE THIEVES ECHO THROUGH THE ETERNITY OF SPACE

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: If I were to "guess", logically we can assume the Geneva was stolen for military purposes.

CO_Madred says:
@Taurik: Scan the internal volume of the Geneva.  Life Signs?

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: The Geneva appears intact

CO_Madred says:
@Jerah: Take us in close to the Geneva....

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Negative, captain. The Geneva is deserted.

TO_Blair says:
@:;watches the viewer ::

MO_Jerah says:
@CO: Moving us in, sir.

CO_Madred says:
@::nods at Taurik:: Rojas/Blair: Board her ......

Host Ian says:
$O’Donna:  So, how long will it take us to remove the latinum?

TO_Blair says:
@CO: Yes sir..

O^Donna says:
$::changes her tune::  Ian:  Ian love... how about after this acquisition, you and I find a nice place to retire?

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: The retaliation has just dropped from warp 

CO_Madred says:
@COM: Courageous: Barbato, we are sending a team over to board the Geneva.

OPS_Gridle says:
@CO: Sir, I could try transmitting the Command codes.. We might be able to take control of her..

O^Donna says:
$Ian:  A couple of hours...

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: I would advise against that

TO_Blair says:
@:;grabs a phaser rifle:; ROJAS: ready?

^CO_Joey says:
#COM: Retaliation: Stand by.

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: There could be traps on board.

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Captain, sensors detect no weapons aboard the Geneva. Torpedo bays are empty, phaser banks removed...

Host Ian says:
$O’Donna: Well, with this haul, we can retire for life  ::grins at the beautiful and treacherous woman::

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::takes his own:: Blair: You better believe it .......

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Sir the Retaliation is sending an AT on the Geneva

^CO_Joey says:
#XO: Report XO

TO_Blair says:
@OPS: Prepare to beam us..  ::nods at Mark:: OPS: Lets go

CO_Madred says:
@::glares at Taurik:: Taurik: Scan the system ....

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: It appears my "guess" was fairly accurate.

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Sir, It looks like too easy...

^XO_Modane says:
#CO: We are towing the Geneva out from the nebula.

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Aye, sir.

Cmdr_Rojas says:
@::returns the nod::

OPS_Gridle says:
@::accesses the transporters and locks on to the assault team's vitals.. Starts transport::

TO_Blair says:
@:;waits for the beam::

CO_Madred says:
@Gridle: Advise the Courageous the Geneva has been stripped.  And Beam them over .....

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: There is only debris in the system.

TO_Blair says:
@:;appears on the Geneva::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: Sir Madred is going anyway

OPS_Gridle says:
@::nods, sends data to Courageous::

TO_Blair says:
@:;Looks at Rojas:: I know you out rank.. but this is my ship.. follow me

OPS_Marti says:
#:; receiving data from the retaliation ::

Cmdr_Rojas says:
::materializes on  Geneva and follows Blair deferring to her::

OPS_Marti says:
#CO: They are away

TO_Blair says:
Computer: Locate life signs aboard the Geneva..

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Captain, it appears the ship that was destroyed was carrying all the weapons from the Geneva.

CO_Madred says:
@CMO: Courageous: We are sending a team over anyway, Barbato.   What about the missing weapons?

CO_Madred says:
@::nods at Taurik:: Taurik: can we analyze the remains .... who destroyed it?

^XO_Modane says:
#:: signals the other ship to lock on tractor beam and help with the towing ::

Cmdr_Rojas says:
::waits for the Computers response::

TO_Blair says:
<computer> LtJG Blair and an unidentified life sign in the same vicinity

Cmdr_Rojas says:
::smiles at Blair:: Blair: That's me .......

TO_Blair says:
::looks at Mark..:: ROJAS: you think that is possible?

Host Sect_31 says:
WITH THE GENEVA FOUND.... AND WITHOUT EXPLANATION AS TO HOW, OR WHY, IT WAS FOUND....  THE CREWS OF THE SEARCH VESSELS AND THE GENEVA RETURN TO STARBASE 173

CSO_Taurik says:
@CO: Results are inconclusive. With the Geneva's weapons aboard the ship, it appears that the Geneva destroyed the ship. Although we know that not to be the case.

TO_Blair says:
::smiles:: Mark: Well yes.. I figured that one out.. possible for no one else to be here?

^CO_Joey says:
#COM: Geneva: All weapons accounted for sir.

^XO_Modane says:
#COM :SB: We are on approach, prepare docking stations.

TO_Blair says:
COM: CO Madred.. we have no life signs sir..  I am heading up to the bridge

OPS_Marti says:

^XO_Modane says:

^CO_Joey says:
