::smiles at the readouts and makes a note on her padd...heads back for her station grabbing a cup of coffee on the way::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CEO*: Looks just fine Chief.

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::steps off the TL as it reaches the bridge, glancing around at the crew already there::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Check with the database and try to identify the ships

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Sees someone new step onto the bridge.. she smiles at Merrill.::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Manages to refine the data and put it on screen:: XO: Onscreen now, sir.

Scenery:  On a grid along the screen, along the Romulan border, are a variety of vessels patrolling.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Turns and looks at the screen.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO: Standby Lieutenant let's not give them any reason for alarm

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye sir. ::turns keying in the commands pulls up the information on the Romulan Ships::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*EO*: Good, let's keep it that way until we head back to Starbase.

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::nods politely at the doctor, and moves off to one side, to observe::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::chuckles:: *CEO*: Understood sir.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
CO: Aye sir, it's one standby.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: How many Romulan ships are we looking at here?

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::a little late he straightens his uniform as the turbolift heads towards the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sir one of the ships is the Taldev.... still working on the second one.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO: Both are Romulan ships sir.  Identity is confirmed as the Taldev.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::as the turbolift arrives on the bridge the doors open and he quickly steps onto the bridge and moves towards tactical 2, nodding at the CTO before logging in and activating the necessary operational links with the tactical computer interface::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::hums softly as she finishes going over several reports before taking the stack and putting it on the CEO's desk::

::Nods at the TO, as he walks by::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::walks over to one of the few consoles free, and sighs as he sees nothing to sit on:: CO: Reporting in, Captain. Thought I'd come see what the bridge is like.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Permission to head down and see to preparations to the Chameleon.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sir the Taldev is a Warbird.... I don't think we want to tangle with them if at all possible.

XO: D'Deridex Class or D'Dejin?

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Heads for the Shuttlebay::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CEO:  Aye.  ::calls the beta_FCO to the bridge, then stands and follows the CEO.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: D'Deridex Class sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Personally I don't like my officers looking at the walls...but I didn't design her.  Please have a seat

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sire we would be out gunned and out armoured against them.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::glances at the diverse tactical readouts that appear on his console and begins ordering them in a logical manner so he can make heads or tails of the entire picture::

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
XO: There are about 20 ships, all of various sizes.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Understood...  Self:  We avoid her at all costs

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Watches the door close after the FCO enters::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
CO: I happen to agree with your assessment, sir. ::looks around:: Uhm, where do I sit, sir? Unless I take the Engineering console.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Glances around the bridge, noticing everyone working at their consoles::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
Beta FCO: Keep us away from the Romulan ships.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: The Engineering console will be fine

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::sitting on the bridge of the Taldev, watching the Federation ship's movements:: Self: This has gone on long enough. ::turns to his communications officer:: Hail them.

Beta FCO says:
  XO:  Aye, sir...  the Lieutenant left a patrol course safely away from the neutral zone, shall I engage it?

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::nods at the CO, happy to be sitting at the back of the bridge, behind the Captain.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
Beta FCO: Engage.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CEO:  So, what kind of preparations do we need?

Beta FCO says:
  XO: Aye, sir.  ::engages the patrol course.::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO: I am receiving a communication Sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Lieutenant download all the relevant information concerning the Orb that we found into the Chameleon's computer core

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::does so::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::ears perk up at the news from the OPS console and accesses information on the Romulans::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Own screen. ::looks at the captain::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::piles the padds on the CEO's desk then turns and requests a cup of Irish Blend Coffee with sweet cream from the replicator::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::transfers the communication to the screen::

Taldev Ops says:
@ ::hails the Nighthawk::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
FCO: Let's make sure that the Warp core is stable and that the outer hull is intact.

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::taps more controls::

Beta FCO says:
  ::As the patrol course is engaged, the 'hawk drops from warp and slows to one-half impulse, slowly going along, not far from the edge of the neutral zone.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands up and looks at the view screen::  COM: Taldev: This is Captain Anderson of the Nighthawk...

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Looks at the screen.:: Self: Heh, not the best-looking Romulan she has ever seen... he has squintier eyes then most of them.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
CO: Initiating Yellow Alert ::Presses a few commands::

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::Looks over at the view screen::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::hits the final control and smiles as the confirmation comes through::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CEO:  Aye.  Want me to get her started?

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::turns to look at the view screen::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Picks up her coffee and takes a sip.::

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::laughs:: COM Nighthawk: Nighthawk? What an auspicious name for such a puny ship.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::sees his console upgrade and looks at the short reports coming in from below decks and nods at the CTO::  CTO: Sir, all decks report yellow alert readiness...

Action: The Romulan commander hears a message from the captain on of the Nighthawk, but on a special pad, he reads another message, also coming from the Nighthawk.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
FCO: Sure.  ::Steps just outside the yellow line::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::takes the coffee from the replicator pad and takes a whiff then a sip:: Self: Almost but not quite...still need to tweak the settings just a bit.

CEO_Cmdr_T`Shara says:
@::in engineering::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::sneers slightly at the Romulan's words::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::walks to the Chameleon and enters.::

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::While still looking at the view screen, he quietly brings up the sensor data on the Romulan ship::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::moves to the XO, whispers:: XO: There is something strange about that outgoing message

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::walks to the helm and powers up the Chameleon.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::turns and whispers back:: OPS: How so?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
TO: Acknowledged. Keep a close look on the surrounding area. The sensors should be adapted to use tachyon particles to detect cloaking devices.

Cmdr_Vayne says:
::glances down at the padd and reads the rapidly scrolling Rihansuu:: COM Nighthawk: You are operating illegally, Starfleet. Leave our space and be quick about it.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::looks at his rank:: COM: Taldev: I can assure you Commander we can hold our own

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Listens to the Hum of the engines, then walks over to the console and brings up the warp diagnostic tool::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::whispers:: XO: It contains too much data to just be one conversation.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::nods::  CTO: Aye and confirmed, all sensors show clear except for the obvious then of course...  ::double checks what he just mentioned::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::studies the crew on the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::hears the captain and forces self to remain quite::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
COM: Taldev: Illegally...I suggest you double check your star charts commander we are well beyond the Neutral zone in Federation space

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
@*Cmdr. Vayne*: Sir all weapons are ready and shields are at 110%.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::whispers:: OPS: Investigate.... If there is someone else sending messages from this ship I want a location.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::Signals for the XO to come over to his station::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::scans the Chameleon's outer hull with its sensors, making sure it is intact.::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Checks his sensors, making sure they are not malfunctioning:: CO: Sir, I picked up this shadow again, just a for a brief moment.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks to the CSO:: CSO: What is it ensign?

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks back out to ME stopping to check on some of the readouts making sure the power is flowing as it should::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
:: whispers:: XO: Aye Sir.  ::moves back to his console to try and trace the other transmission::

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ *TCEO* Standby weapons, Sub Commander. Though we may find 110% far too much for this prey.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Taps her console and sends a message to Dr Tran.  "All Staff Ready we are in contact with the Romulans.::

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ COM Nighthawk: You suggest lines on a map, Starfleet. Mere lines on a map. Borders are made, and enforced by power. I find you sorely lacking. ::sneers::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO: Activate the Parametric subspace field stress sensors they should be able to find our shadow

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::Whispers:: XO: The Romulan ship is powered down, but it is battle ready. Their weapons are very powerful in comparison to the Nighthawk's, I'd be very careful about how we deal with them. They're expecting conflict.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Starts scanning on the new sensor band::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Tilts his head right, then to the left:: *EO*: Shannon, report to Shuttlebay 1 and bring a container of Coffee with you.

Tran says:
 ::Replies that they are ready.::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, is there a problem? ::already making arrangements::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::starts reading some personnel files, the bridge not interesting anymore::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
FCO: She sounds good.  You can power her down.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::moves to XO and whispers:: XO: Sir...  the other message is originating from the bridge.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
COM: Taldev: Those lines were made by the cooperative agreement by our two governments...

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
@*Cmds. Vayne*:  Don't underestimate the Federation ship sir.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CEO:  The hull seems fine.  Aye.  ::powers the Chameleon down.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::whispers:: CSO: There are no plans to get into a firefight with something that has us out classed.

ACTION: on the federation side, Vayne receives an encoded message.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*EO*:  No nothing wrong.  I just need a power boost, and I heard your recipe for Irish coffee is perfected.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::whispers:: OPS: Could you tell which console?

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ COM Nighthawk: And enforced by my battle group! State your business and leave!

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks into the CEO's office and gets a container of coffee...decides to use the Irish Blend...takes the container and a couple of cups:: *CEO*: Not sure about perfected but pretty close. On my way sir.

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::glances down again and then opens another communication channel:: *TCEO*: T'Shara, report to the command centre.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Feels trouble coming::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::exits ME and heads for Shuttlebay 1 with the coffee::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Drums her fingers on her console.::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::gets up:: CO: Captain, I have a counselling session. I have to return to my office. ::walks to the TL:: Permission to leave the bridge?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
:: runs a station trace, finger flying frantically::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::remains calm looks at the view screen almost wanting to hit the Romulan commander

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: I suggest we keep everyone here in the meantime Sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
COM: Taldev: Our business is also to enforce those lines commander...it was nice to meet you but I'm afraid I have other business to attend to.  Jolan Tru..

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::enters the Shuttlebay:: CEO: You wanted coffee Chief? ::chuckles::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::motions to OPS to cut the signal::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::cuts the signal::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: Yes.  ::Goes over to his assistant:: FCO: Want some coffee?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Why don't you stay for a minute counsellor I'd like you to meet some of the crew

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
Computer: Lock the bridge.

Cmdr_Vayne says:
::scowls as the screen blinks off and curses loudly in his native language: Self: $*!@^$(@!!

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::steps out of the Chameleon and sees the EO walking over.  Grins.::  CEO:  Yeah, sure.

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::steps into the TL:: CO: Unfortunately I can't sir. ::closes the doors::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::holds out the cups and the container of coffee:: CEO: Just be warned it's different from any coffee you have ever drank.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Ok what is going on?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Finds the Counsellor's actions interesting.::

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
TL: Deck 4.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::locks the TL in place::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sir the entire time you were talking with the Romulan commander another transmission was also leaving the ship Lt Lessing traced it back to the bridge.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: I am warned.  ::Grins::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: What console?  ::thinks they may have finally found their spy::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::chuckles and holds a cup out to the FCO:: FCO: I hope you like Irish Blend coffee.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::Is fascinated by the whole situation::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Looks at the TL doors as he the XO talks.::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO: Sir. The other signal originated from he Engineering console.  I have locked the Turbolift in place.  with the CNS inside it.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::takes the cup.::  EO:  My favourite.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
XO: A Romulan spy?

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::sighs as the TL doesn't move and opens the top hatch:: Self: Meddlesome creatures!

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CEO: While I am here...I made minor adjustments to the plasma conduits and things seem to be flowing better.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Takes a cup, and a sip, and another, and another, and another:: EO: I am speechless.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Pulls out her med kit from beneath her console and retrieves one of her hyposprays.  Makes sure it is filled with anthesazine.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::hears the OPS and turns to the CTO:: CTO: Take a security team and take Lieutenant Merril into custody for questioning

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CTO: Have you teams meet the turbo lift near security.... the Lieutenant is to be escorted to the brig.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::follows the building discussion on the bridge with interest::

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::orders his battle group to fan out and slip into a defensive formation along the border::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CSO, XO: A spy. Romulan?  I don't know.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO, CTO: He should still be in the turbolift Sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Can you find out what she sent to the Taldev?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::begins to sip his coffee.::  CEO/EO:  Boy, this brings back a lot of memories from the academy...  ::chuckles, then continues to sip his coffee.::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CEO: I told you there is nothing better. ::grins:: I like mine with sweet cream it really enhances the flavour.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
XO:  I should go along.   I'd like to get a look at him physically.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Probably, but it would take me some time.  It was very tightly encrypted.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Hears the CNS is Captured in the TL:: *Security Team 1*: Security Team 1, report to the TL on Security Deck. Meet me there.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Do it

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Agreed.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::Starts Work::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Enters another TL:: TL: Security Department. Computer: Computer, what TL cabin is the CNS in?

Computer says:
 CTO: The CNS is in TL cabin 3 Gamma.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::sees the CTO leave his console and moves to tac 1 as a crewman takes tac 2 for the moment::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Takes another sip:: EO: And you said you have to tweak it.  I think you have it perfect!

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
::hears the order and heads for the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sir I would like to discuss this with the Lieutenant sir.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CEO: Well I was raised on the real thing so to me it's just a touch off but close enough to perfect.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Stands up.::  XO:  On my way.  ::Heads for the other TL.::  *CTO*:  Lt, I'll meet you in the brig.. I'd like to examine the counsellor before you start questioning.  Lets get the question of whether he is Romulan or not out of the way.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::TL Doors open and she steps in with med kit in hand.::  Computer:  Brig.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO, XO: Sirs, we have to bear in mind that we must have more than one spy still on board.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Please ohh and commander find out where our CNS's location was during our previous sabotage attempts, I think it might be an interesting read

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
Computer: Computer, reroute TL 3 Gamma to the security deck. *CMO*: Acknowledged.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
OPS: How do you come to that conclusion?

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::beckons for the sub commander as she arrives on the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye sir. ::walks to the TL:: Computer: Unlock the bridge authorization O'Guinn Sigma Omega 3.

ACTION:  The TL stops at security and the doors open.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Finishes his cup:: EO: This is a nice boost.. FCO: Let's lock her up.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CSO: With our last few months experiences, I think it is the most.... logical conclusion.  No single person, and probably no pair of people could have pulled an operation of this size off.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CTO/CMO: Shall we? ::enters the TL::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::takes the cup from the CEO:: CEO: I'll be sure to keep a pot of this brewed then. ::grins::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CEO*: Chief how are the preparations coming?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CEO:  The EO?

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
FCO: Is there a problem?

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Laughs:: FCO: I Think the XO, will object to it.  I mean the Chameleon.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Enters the TL, phaser drawn, only to find it empty:: *CO*: Sir, the CNS escaped.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
OPS: Well if the spies are Romulan, the sensors could be calibrated to detect them, but it they're not, that's a problem.

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
@::heads towards the Cmndr::  Cmds:  Sir.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
XO:  Ready when you are Sir.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::grins at the EO.::  EO:  None at all.  ::heads back into the Chameleon.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CO*:  All ready for launch.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CSO: Agreed.  Scan for Romulans on board.  ::Pauses:: And Half Romulans as well.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CEO: Things are running fairly smooth in ME. I left some reports on your desk for you to have a look at when you get a chance.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::stops turning:: Computer: Locate Lieutenant Merrill

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Walks out again, ignoring the CMO for the moment:: *TO*: Ensign Merfolk, lock down all decks, post security on all entrance and exit points. And lock down all transporter rooms for the time being.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CEO*: Excellent we've had a situation up here and may be a little longer leaving than we thought standby

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::keeps his voice down so it won't travel:: TCEO: Their appearance here is worse than I thought. They've been to the field.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
OPS:  Be mindful, any Romulans could be genetically altered..  We may have to look at genetic markings.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::Turns around and starts recalibrating the sensors to detect Romulan life forms::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CO*: Situation?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::walks to the helm and locks down the Chameleon.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Looks like we hold for a minute! ::mutters under breath::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Turns to the CMO:: CMO: No examination, I'm afraid, doctor. He disappeared. ::Walks back in to examine the cabin for any traces of escape::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Mumbles at paperwork:: EO: Sounds good.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CMO: Yes.  Makes it more difficult, but not impossible.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::yaps his commbadge::  *CTO*: Understood...  locking down..  ::begins a deck by deck lock down and uses the security protocols to cut power to all turbo lifts for now::

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
CMO: Could you help me with this then, lieutenant?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Turns:: CTO:  Probably in the JTs....  with shields up, the Romulans couldn't beam him off.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO: Sir, shall I prevent all transports to and from the Nighthawk?

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::nods:: CEO: Well I have gone through most of them they just need your approval. If you don't need me for anything else I am heading back to ME.

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
@Cmdr:  Sir they may be worse than they look but it also could be a deception.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  Of course.. ::Moves to the next science station.::

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::quickly moves his hands over the console and begins locking the transporter rooms as well::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Do it Lieutenant! ::steps back of the TL:: ALL: I want Lieutenant Merrill found 5 minutes ago!

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::shakes his head:: TCEO: I have independent verification. They've been there, emperor burn their bones. They probably know too much. ::turns to look at the screen::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CTO*: Take us to red alert Lieutenant deck-by-deck search I want the CNS found

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Fingers fly over the console.::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Walks back out of the Chameleon.::  CEO:  All done.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: Alright.  I'll see you in a bit.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
*CTO*: Lock down almost completed, Sir...  scanning for the counsellor's signature with internal sensors now..  ::initiates a full deck-by-deck sweep for the CNS's signature or commbadge::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Locks the Nighthawk down.  Transporter-wise, the ship is now tighter than a drum::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::nods and heads back for ME::

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
CMO: Did you receive a medical profile of the CNS before he came aboard?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  Let me double check...  ::Begins pulling up med files.::

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
Cmdr: Sir shall I reset the sensors to pick up Romulan life signs?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: Coordinate with Tactical scan the ship for the CNS

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO: Sir, the message is partially decrypted.  The words "Klingon", "Asteroids", "Lagron" and "Chameleon" are mentioned several times.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Doesn't find something, then starts thinking how he could have disappeared:: Self: Either we're at the wrong cabin, or he must have been transported off. *OPS*: Mr. Lessing, check your transporter logs for the past hour please. Are there any signs of recent transports? If not, try to find something out about external transport, like from one of the Romulan vessel patrolling the border

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
CO: Already underway, sir.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Initiating Red Alert....

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  Ahhh here we are...

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ TCEO: We wait, for now. Starfleet captains always make mistakes. That academy of theirs makes them feel invincible. They wander around the galaxy as if they own it. ::sneers again, revealing his teeth:: A clever Romulan knows when to wait and when to take advantage.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CTO: Aye Mr. Jackson.  ::Checks the logs::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Hears Red Alert:: FCO: Oh boy here we go.  *CO*: Captain, What's going on?

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::lets out a string of curses:: CSO: Filter out all Starfleet bio signs I want the Counsellor found!

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Quickly scans the record.....:: ALL:  Lt Merrill is human....we have some other factors in play here...such as treason...or maybe the Romulans have something on him.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
XO:  Filter out all but Human Sir...  Merrill is human.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::hears the red alert and dashes back for ME entering quickly and getting the teams scrambled and ready for anything::

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
CMO: Are you sure the record isn't falsified?

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
Cmdr: Yes sir, but still I don't trust them.  They have been know to fool even the best of us.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CEO*: We think we found our spy Chief, but thus far she has eluded us.  Keep an eye out for the CNS if you see her report it to security

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  I'm positive.  I know the doctor who did his last physical.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Any way we look at is now treason. CSO: Do as Lieutenant Santiago said!

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
*CO*: Aye sir, searches are on the way already. Nothing so far.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
CSO / XO: Sirs, I'm current comparing the general scan of humanoid life forms on the Nighthawk with the scan of all commbadges and eliminating in that way....

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
CMO: Great, we've got him, then! ::Starts running a search for his genetic makeup::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::looks at the CEO as he hears the Captain's comm.::  CEO:  I'll get us some phasers...

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
TO: Acknowledged ensign.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::A result comes up:: All: I've found him!

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks out the Shuttlebay door:: *CO*: Aye, Captain.  FCO: Good idea, he might be heading here.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CSO: Where?

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::initiating a comparison analysis of the general internal sensor sweep with the commbadge sweep of the same time index and too display the irregularities::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: Send it to the TO's console

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
XO: He's in his room.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::nods at the CSO as he hears the CO's comment::

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ ::gives her a withering look:: TCEO: Are you suggesting that garbage scow driver out there can outsmart me?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Walks back into the chameleon.  Opens the weapons locker, takes two hand phasers and holsters and steps back out.  Puts one on and hands the other to the CEO.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: Good job...keep a lock on the CNS until he is in custody

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::grins:: Computer: Lock Lieutenant Merrills Quarters authorization O'Guinn Sigma Omega 3.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Grabs the phaser and holsters it:: *EO*: Report, Shannon.

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
Cmdr:  It is just a suggestion.  I do know of a few Starfleet captains who have outsmarted us in the past.  Don't take this one for granted.

Computer says:
 Acknowledged.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::taps his commbadge as he receives the information from the CSO::  *CTO*: Merfolk to Jackson, Sir... we've located the CNS in her quarters....

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CEO*: ME is secure and the team is ready for whatever happens.

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CEO:  I suggest you tell them to arm themselves.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CEO:  If they haven't done it already.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
*CTO*: So far the XO has initiated a command lock on those quarters... he'll release it once you've arrived at the scene...

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::takes the weapons that are handed her and puts the holster on::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
*TO*: Acknowledge, on our way. ::Signals the team to follow him, and walks into the TL:: Computer: Release TL 3 Gamma, then reroute it to officers quarters.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Level 10 Force Field around the counsellors quarters please.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO: Aye Sir.  ::erects the force field::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*EO*: Go to Intruder Alert Status.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CEO*: Initiating now Chief.

Cmdr_Vayne says:
@ TCEO: He is a minor problem. A pest, sniffing around. When the time is right, I will exterminate him and his ship. ::glances back at her:: Deploy the forward phalanx. They're up to something. I want those wretches watched.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CTO*: Mr. Jackson let me know when you arrive outside of Lt Merrill’s quarters.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
Eng Team: You heard the Chief let's get moving. ::watches as they move out taking care of business::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
*XO*: Aye sir, just a minute. ::Steps out of the TL and heads towards the CNS' quarters::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Watches the Romulan activity:: Self: Watching them watching us....

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Arrives:: *XO*: Sir, we're there, please release the lockdown. ::Grabs his phaser and sets it to stun:: Sec-Team: Standby, on my mark.

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::glances at the XO::  XO: Commander, once you unlock the quarters I will release the force field and initiated a security perimeter with force fields on that section of the deck to allow a secured arrest...

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::sits down leaning against the Chameleon.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
Computer: Open Lt Merrill’s quarters authorization O'Guinn Sigma Omega 3.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::takes a seat in his Chair, as his staff searches for the Counsellor, he looks intently at the view screen at the Romulan Warbirds::

ACTION: As the counsellor’s doors open into a simple room, no one is seen.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks around the room::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Sees the door open:: Sec-Team: Now! ::Runs inside, phaser drawn::

TO_Ens_Merfolk says:
::activates the adjacent security force fields in the section::

CSO-Ens_Spencer says:
::Waits anxiously, looking at the sensors the whole time::

Cmdr_Vayne says:
::eases back in his command chair and glares at the little Federation ship on the view screen while fingering the chipped and worn Tri-D chess piece he's always kept with him:: Self: Your move, Starfleet.... make it a stupid one.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
Sec-Team: Search it. ::Motions one security officer to follow him:: SecOff: Follow me. ::Heads to the bathroom::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Enters the bathroom, finding the CNS:: CNS: Put your hands on your head, and step out of there! ::Motions with his phaser::

CEO_SubCmdr_T`Shara says:
::watches the controls and screen to see if she sees the slightest movement or her weapons become active::

Scenery:  In the bathroom, the unconscious body of the counsellor is found lying in the shower stall.

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::smiles as he walks along the corridor, heading for one of the science labs:: Self: Idiots!

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::looks at the Romulan ships and settles back into his chair he feels like he could almost talk to the Romulan Commander::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Walks over as nothing happens:: CNS: Merrill! Do you hear me? ::Feels his neck:: *CMO*: Doctor, report to the counsellors quarters immediately.

CNS_Lt_Merrill says:
::smiles as he walks along the corridor, heading for one of the science labs:: Self: Idiots!

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
*CTO*:  On my way, what is the problem.
