Summary:
	Aboard the ship: The captain asked Rose to beam up the group who had left the caves and entered the village.  The best she could do was beam aboard all none Trigon.  And so the captain and CMO have an interesting interview with more then they expected.
	On the Planet: The FCO and CSO have hooked up with the XO after he had an interesting time getting off the ship he had managed to beam aboard, with a security team, and the counselor.  However, the counselor appears to be missing.  At least one security officer is dead.  Their next step?

From the Xindi Data base: 

Planet: Trigon II
•	A hedonistic world; often used as an R&R world for many cultures.  
o	Physical appearance: Average height: range between 1.5 and 1.85 meters.  Skin coloring: a light golden brown. Hair coloring: ranges between a golden to a dark black.  Eye coloring: A light gold to dark brown. 
o	General appearance: Their women are knock-down gorgeous for most species of males.  The males seem average in general.  However it is noted that females enjoy this world for R&R as well.
o	Major economy: In the larger provinces, recreation and relaxation.  The smaller provinces are mostly farming communities but will also cater on a much smaller scale to visitors.
o	Technology: nominal technology for a world that has space flight however, most areas remain pre-industrial.  
o	Flight: There is one main terminal in the Dansen province that is maintained by a wealthy family, the Cortasts.  All flights are coordinated through them.  They also maintain the planets only military defense, including a few fighters for general purposes.  The planet has refused any more due wanting to remain a ‘haven’ Anthropological note:  There are rumors that this world is also in some way under the protection of Trigon III world.  This has not been substantiated nor has a reason or means been detected or understood.
o	Climate: Is temperate.  Average day is 27.15 Earth hours.
o	Astronomical: This world has no moons, though there is some indication there once had been two of them.  Planet is 12,150,547 meters
o	Government: The people are peaceful.  Each area has a local magistrate that sees to the handling of governmental issues.  For planetary issues, sans protection, this duty is rotated.  There is only one main law of this world, you cannot murder; punishment is to the extreme.  This is an aligned world and under Xindi protection.  A Xindi ship remains on call no more then one day away.

Time Lapse:  On the planet: A few minutes.  On the ship: half an hour

Announcements: 
•	No mission next week due to Easter break.
•	Welcome back Dylan!
•	Chris is due back after the break… anyone remember where we put him?

Captain's Log Stardate 10703.31: I have send two away teams to the surface in hopes to find out if there is some information that we can gather.  I have not heard from Commander Jackson's team, I hope they are alright.  But from what I have gathered Varesh might be captured by them.  I hope to find out, and if necessary rescue him.
 
<<<<<<<<<< Integration: Red Herring V >>>>>>>>>>

CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::looks around on the planet, wishing she were there for holidays and not kid-hunting::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@::scans the area with his tricorder::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::on his way to meet the CO::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: On the bridge, keeping a general eye on things, but mostly worried about the counselor.::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: Still no sign of the counselor. I don't like to think it but what if he is in the one place on the caves where we can't scan? Or no longer...well, but the first officer seems to still be aboard the alien ship
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Sits in his chair:: SO: Any luck?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Turns left at the nearest intersection and ducks behind a wall, taking a moment to re-orient himself::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  Then our first objective should be to try and retrieve Commander Jackson.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::steps out of the lift and onto the bridge:: CO: You called Captain? ::smiles to Brianna::
 
$ACTION: The first officer and his group can hear the sound of running feet.  A head he sees the glimmer of another trap.

CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::nods at the FCO::FCO: We are clear from sight here, but how do we get aboard?
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CMO: Yes, you will help me interrogate the prisoners once I have them beamed up.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Oh good, it's been a while since I interrogated anyone.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  I'm assuming that ship still has her shields up?
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CMO: Well, I will be using as usual my talented self to interrogate the prisoners.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Hears the footsteps and looks further down the corridor and starts heading out again, running as quietly as he can, hoping he will be around the corner before the pursuing group turns the previous corner::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: Not anymore. However, its protected by the shield at the entrance to the cave. We'd have to pass it in order to go in
SO Lt Rose says:
:: After a moment realizes the captain is speaking to her and turns around:: CO: I am sorry sir... nothing and I am getting very worried.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Then I'll just follow your lead... although I must say, it'd be handy to be invisible again, only without the acceleration in time.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  Perhaps if we check for a way in around the cave.....there could be some sort of access around that shield.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
SO: Keep looking.  Are you ready to beam the occupants of the vehicle up?
 
$ACTION: Weapons fire shoots out and the cry of one of the tactical officers can be heard before being silenced.

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: I guess...
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::looks at her tricorder:: FCO: Wait, no need. I overestimated their shield. Our transporters can penetrate it, we can beam in. But I suggest we take transporter enhancers for the journey back
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: That group that exited earlier has made it to the village.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Runs down the new corridor, looking around for a moment as he hears a cry, and stopping for a moment, pondering his next move. He can't be found.. But he can't quite leave his crewmember behind either.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  Hang on, I'll have security over at the Chameleon transport us inside.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Gets up and taps Bri's shoulder:: SO: He'll be ok.  Can we still transport them up?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::nods:: FCO: Sounds like a plan. You want to beam right outside the ship or to the XO's location?
 Tong says:
$ XO: You can give up now... or not at all.  :: Fires another warning shot.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  Jackson might have a better chance if we were beamed to his location.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Starts running again and turns a corridor, spotting a small hatch to his right:: Self: I've been in alien hands often enough... Not again...
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Runs to the hatch and crouches, trying to open it::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::nods grabbing her phaser as well as her tricorder:: FCO: I'm ready
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  Or, we can just have the Commander beamed out of there if the shields aren't a problem.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@*Security*:  If you can get a lock on the XO and his team, beam them out to our coordinates.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::hangs around waiting patiently::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: Yes that is possible as well, though he might loose any information he is gathering at the moment
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: But I suppose with the counselor's disappearance we are well beyond that
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Takes off the cover and ushers his team inside, following a moment later, pulling the cover on behind him::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  True.  But we can always go back to the drawing board once we have the Commander and his team out of there.

$ACTION: The XO and his team find themselves in a cargo hole filled with all sorts of odds and ends.
 
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Walks back to his chair:: CMO: Hmm.. if they are in the village... we might be able to send the away team there
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  I just wonder if they are keeping the CNS in the area that our sensors can not penetrate.
Security says:
@FCO: We just lost our lock on him.  There is some kind of interference.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@*Security*:  Any chance you can compensate for the interference?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::frowns:: FCO: I fear as much as well ... and I guess we will have to retrieve them ourselves anyway
 Security says:
@ FCO: Checking on it... but uncertain at this time.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Starts crawling away from the hatch::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
CO: It might help, but can't we just beam them straight up from the village?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: I have the first officer on sensors, but while I have a lock on the others, not him or his team.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  I'm up for suggestions Christina.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: We go in with transporter enhancers...and phasers. We have to get them out
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Nods:: SO: Do you still have a lock on the vehicle occupants that went into the village?
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  Can you determine where the XO is at and how many people are with him?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: Sort of.  They have scattered about.
CO Capt Monroe says:
SO: Have the coordinates transferred to the transporter  Prepare to beam them to the brig.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Gets out into the cargo area and looks around for a moment, spotting another door::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CMO: We might get the chance.
 Tong says:
$ :: Bangs on the hatch.  Finding it locked, motions the others back and begins to fire.::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::nods at the FCO and looks down at her tricorder::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Steps up to the other door and looks at it for a moment, then takes out a tricorder and scans the door and whatever is beyond it::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: I have a lock on them... I have locked onto only the ones that are not from this world.  I hope we do not get any visitors.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::taps it, chasing the XO's life signals::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Steps to the side of the door and tries to work the controls to open the door::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
SO: Good, beam them up whenever you are ready.  ::Stands and heads the TL:: CMO: It is time for some fun ::Smiles::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
SO: You have the bridge.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Lead on sir. ::follows to the lift::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods as she activates the transporter and begins beaming, after warning security.::
 
$ACTION: The large cargo bay doors open into the very large cavern.
 
$Scenery: There is the original ship they had been chasing and two small transport vessels.  The room shows all the signs of having been occupied for awhile.  Throughout the place are itmes covered with tarps.
 
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Watches the TL doors close, listen to the humm of the TL running::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: the away team seems to be trapped in a storage or docking area of some sort, the readings aren't clear, probably due to the same interference that prevents beaming. I'd say he's in trouble
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  It appears they are being pursued by 13 members of this vessel.
 
ACTION: Within the brig, 9 strangers appear.  One looking very scared, the others very annoyed and one... well, stay out of his reach.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
$::Looks at the doors as they open, then looks outside. He is most interested in seeing how much of a jump it is to get to the ground::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Gets off the TL, and walks towards the brig::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::follows the CO to the brig::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::nods in agreement:: FCO: We are no match for them...we need some sort of trick to get them out of the shield area
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Walks into the brig and looks at the holding cell holding 9 people::
Security says:
@ *FCO*: I have a lock on the commander and his team now.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@*Security*:  Beam them out now!
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: Here is our touch of luck!
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  What is it they say......ask and you shall receive?  ::grins::

@ ACTION: The first officer and his team, sans the counselor and one other tactical officer, suddenly find themselves aboard the Chameleon.

CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::chuckles:: FCO: Not logical but often true. Lets go meet the team ::reenters in the hidden Chameleon::
 Dossen says:
CO: Please... why am I here?  If my wife catches me...
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::walks into the brig and eyes the prisoners::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@::follows the CSO::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Dossen: You are here because you have some information I need.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Suddenly finds himself materializing in the chameleon, and looks around at the team:: All: Where are the others?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::sees the away team and resists the urge to run to Gary. Just smiles widely:: XO: Its good to see you safe again
 Dossen says:
CO: Information?  I don't have any information.  I just came here for... well, some time away from everything.  You know... a vacation.  ::looks very worriedly at those around him.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@XO:  Any chance you saw where they were keeping the Counselor?
 
ACTION: The others listening to the man say nothing, but smirk.

CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::stares at the angry prisoners::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::gets a medical tricorder out of a cabin and starts scanning the team for injuries::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Shakes head:: FCO: No.. We got split up while we were on the run... I don't know what happened.. We must have taken some very quick turns, and we went our separate ways.. You have no sign of him? ::Looks around at his team to make sure those present are alright::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@XO:  Negative Commander.  His lifesigns do not register and I can't sense him either.
Tolk says:
:: Stares at the man staring at him.  He gives the blue shirt a nasty grin.::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::after assessing the minor injuries she takes out the dermal regenerator from the kit and remembers why she never wanted to be a doctor. Starts patching them the best she can::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Dossen: I need to find someone that was on your ship.  ::Looks at the rest of the people and spots a man staring at him:: Tolk: And what are you looking at?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Frowns:: FCO: Nothing at all? ::Sighs deeply:: What about petty officer Johnson?
FCO Lt Knight says:
@XO:  Was he with your team?  ::looks over at Security::
 Dossen says:
:: Puts his hands to his head in abject misery:: CO: I don't have a ship.  I came on the tour ship like everyone else.  I just thought this little village would be nice... kind of out of the way while the wife shops.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::gestures for one of the angry prisoners to approach the force field::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Nods:: Dossen: Have a seat and after I have talked to the rest of the people here then you will be released back to the planet.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Nods:: FCO: He's the only one missing... ::Steps forward again, giving the CSO a bit more room to do her work::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::looks over to the FCO and XO as she trying to stabilize a nasty burn on a security's arm:: FCO/XO: Maybe he went with the counselor...
 Dossen says:
:: Nods and stumbles to the seat, very very worried... about what his wife is going to do to him.::
Tolk says:
:: Makes his way to the forcefield, his smile widening:: CMO: You want something blue shirt?
FCO Lt Knight says:
@::comes back from talking to Security::  XO:  Commander, I'm afraid to inform you that Johnson was killed.
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Gestures to a security officer for a phaser::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::gulps but quietly continues her work::
 
ACTION: The security officer hands the captain a phaser.

CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: But the counselor...there's no sign that he....::her voice trails off::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: Well... yes actually, I was hoping you could shed some light on something for me.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Walks up beside the doctor::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Shakes head:: CSO: No.. I heard him being shot.. A scream, then...... ::Looks back at his team again, noticing the concern in their faces as well::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  We just have to assume that the Counselor is still alive and being kept hidden from us.
 Tolk says:
CMO: Come in and join me and I am sure I could make you see 'light'.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::nods briefly at the FCO then moves to her last "patient"::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CMO: I think he doesn't want to be cooperative.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: Trust me, I've seen more light in the last 2 and a half years than I'd wish on my worst enemy. But for you I might make an exception.
 Tolk says:
:: Looks at the other man and shrugs, then back at the doctor, his smile vanishing.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Sighs as he looks at the FCO:: FCO: I was.. I was afraid of that... ::Takes a seat and, his elbows on his knees and his head on his hands, he just stares at the floor::
Mrig says:
CO: Why are we here?  You have no right to simply pluck us from the planet!
FCO Lt Knight says:
@XO:  Commander, I'm sure there was nothing you could do to avoid what happened.  I suggest we try to find a way to get Varesh back.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::finishes and gets up:: FCO/XO: These guys will need to be looked at by the Doc but they are all patched up. We can either stay or return to the ship ...
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: I've dealt with people like you before; don't think I'll go easy on you because you feel hard-done-by.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Takes a moment before lifting his head again:: FCO: You're right... We have to move on.. Make sure his death was not in vain...
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Mrig: Quiet, and you will be released back to the planet.  And if you are talking about rights?  When you attack a defenseless ship, your rights are forfeited.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@XO:  Agreed.  How shall we proceed?
 Tolk says:
CMO: Starfleet huh?  You are on the wrong side of the galaxy... and out of your jurisdiction.
Mrig says:
CO: Defenseless?  I shot no one...
CO Capt Monroe says:
Mrig: The ship you were on did.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: That just means I'm not bound by the rules of conduct any more.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Thinks for a moment:: FCO: Let's start with getting a short update on the situation.. We know the counselor is missing.. So that's one objective, I'd make it a primary objective actually... But then we need to find information for that first...
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::listens to the plotting:: FCO/XO: I dare say there is really only one place he might be ....
Tolk says:
CMO: Then neither am I.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO/XO: Since we can't find his readings anywhere, he must be in the only place where we can't get any readings from ....
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Glances at the CMO, and wonders if he read the Monroe Book on Interrogation::
 Mrig says:
CO: Whatever gave you that idea?  I have been planet bound for over a month.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: You want to step out here and take your chances? I will put you on the deck in a second, now you're going to tell us what we need to know or you're going to hurt.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Mrig: Then once your colleagues have answered my questions I will release you all back to the planet.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO:  I agree.  I think we should start there.
 Tolk says:
:. Laughs at the little mans comment.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Nods slowly:: CSO: Show me..
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: Something funny?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@XO: There is nothing to see really. You know the cave system near where we are? Where the alien ship landed. Its quite extensive and busy with activity, many groups of life readings inside. We can beam in and scan everywhere except for one spot in the center
 Tolk says:
CMO: You are a very funny, little man.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@XO: It looks like a headquarters of some sort and they must be hiding something obviously
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Nods as Christina explains:: CSO: Alright... And where exactly is that on the map? And how close to my ship, and others?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: You know, you're not really in a position to do anything about it right now so why don't you just save your attempts at insulting for someone it's likely to annoy.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@XO: I can pinpoint it to you yes, its quite deep inside the caves as I said, We can't beam there but we can beam to a nearby corridor. But we must be cautions, scans in those areas are more difficult and we might bump into someone
 Tolk says:
CMO: You have no right to bring us here federation.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@::waits to see what their next plan of action will be::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Wonders when it is a good time to step in::
 
Scenery: All eyes are on the hulking man talking with the man in blue.

CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: you should have thought about that before you ran from us.
 Tolk says:
CMO: What we do is none of your concern.  You have no rights in Xindi territory Federation.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Nods slowly:: CSO/FCO: Let's get ready to beam to that location, or as close to it as possible.. CSO: If you can find a more remote corridor close to the blind spot, scan it and keep scanning it for any lifesigns..
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: We could argue that fact indefinitely but the fact is we are here and you ran from us... why?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@::nods:: XO: I'll work on it
FCO Lt Knight says:
@::makes sure his phaser is at the ready::  XO:  Ready to transport whenever you are Commander.
 Tolk says:
CMO: You ask the same question and you get the same answer.  What we do here is none of your concern.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Taps the Doc's shoulder:: CMO: As much as I want this to continue.  ::Looks at the rest of the group:: All: You will all remain here unless I get some answers preferably from, ::Points at Tolk:: him.  So if you all want to leave, I would talk some sense into him.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk, well you aren't getting out of here until you answer my questions, think about that.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CMO: Let's give them all some time to think about it.  Let's say 15 minutes.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Looks over at the team:: Tactical Team: Alright guys.. we're going back into ile territory.. Let's re-supply.. Be ready in a minute.. ::Looks at the FCO:: FCO: One minute... Gives Chris some time to get those readings..
 
ACTION: First one of the prisoners chuckles, and then the others join in, all but the one on the bench worried about what his wife is going to do to him.

CMO LtJG Trigger says:
Tolk: Take a seat wee man, and think about what I've said. ::walks out of the brig::
 Tolk says:
:: Turns to look at the others and joins in with their laughter.::
