Summary:
The senior staff of the Nighthawk gathered in the conference room to get briefed or debriefed, depending on which perspective, of the happenings to date. The CNS informed everybody of the intel that he received during his captivity. Questions and answers were exchanged, and they got a gift from an ally with information to further their quest.

Time Lapse:
6 Days
Announcements:
The usual... logs ;) Mail and post on the message boards, please.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Captain's Log Stardate 10705.19: I have recalled everyone to the conference room to discuss what has gone on in the last couple days.  It will help me formulate a plan to find all the children and return back to Federation Space, as this has taken a toll on the crew

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::puts the PADD on his desk, stands and leaves his office::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Walks into the conference room, carrying the stuffed toy and the message that was inside, goes over to his usual seat near the Captain's::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::makes sure the computer continues standard scans of the area surrounding the Nighthawk and gets up from her chair::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Walks out of the Ready Room, with PADD in hand, and hobbles to the conference room::

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
::checks a few things on his console before standing up and nodding to Aidan to relieve him::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Crosses the corridor behind the bridge and enters the conference room::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::arrives at the observation lounge and takes a sit in the middle of the table, nodding to those present::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: In the conference room, smiles as Varesh sit next to her.::  CNS: You are looking better.

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::heads to the conference room::

CEO_Ens_AlThor says:
::heads out of engineering toward the conference room::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Walks into the conference room, reading a PADD and carrying a cup of coffee::

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
::pats Aidan on the shoulder and then heads to the conference room::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
SO: I feel better thank you.

CEO_Ens_AlThor says:
::walks into the conference room and takes a seat::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Walks in with a slight limp and heads to the front of the table::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::absently plays with the toy::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Enters right after the CO and follows him to the front of the table, taking a side just to the side, across from Varesh::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods at the new arrivals and waits, looking at the PADD she brought with some summaries, though she knows them in her head by now::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods at all in presence as he walks to his position::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
CNS: You bring me back a present?

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks around and sits down:: All: Good everyone is here.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks:: SO: When we're done with this. I found it near my cell.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods needlessly at the CO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks up and puts his PADD down, noticing the CO::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::takes a seat in the conference room::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles across at Aaron:: ~~~FCO: Good morning in the gym?~~~

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
::takes a seat and waits for the debriefing to begin::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks at the CO as he opens the meeting::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
All: Let's start by quickly going through what has gone on, to my knowledge.  Then I will ask you all to fill in the gaps

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: Looks the toy over without touching it.::  CNS: I did not think it was your style... kind of in an odd place.

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Yes, you should meet me there sometime.~~~

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::looks at Monroe curiously::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: Quietly turns to listen to the captain.::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::looks at the captain wondering where his cane is::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Count on it. My hip is completely healed now.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks down the table for a moment, his eyes lingering on the CSO for a brief moment, then turns back to the captain::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
All: Starfleet has sent us here to help retrieve the Xindi Children, our first planet gave us little clues as to the whereabouts.  But gave us a clue in one of the performers which Counselor Varesh opened communications with.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::takes a note about performers being important information couriers then continues listening::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
All: We followed the transport vessel that had this performer and it was attacked.  We found that the attacker had taken this performer that had the information and took them prisoner, we then engaged this vessel and once again Counselor Varesh got captured.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles sheepishly::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::decides to assume the information, whatever it was, is real. Though there is no proof of that::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: Glances over at the doctor, noting his hairy self.  She was getting kind of used to him that way.::

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Sheesh, show me a time when you're not being captured or hurt!~~~  ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
All: That is all I know.  Anyone want to fill in the specific details?

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises his hand::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: I'll start

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::doesn't have any answers to add, only questions::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks around the table, the briefing he read before coming on board had quite a few holes in it::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: The performers were a cover for the children's abductors. The one we followed helped them to use the cosmetics the actors use to change their appearances.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns his attention to the counsellor as he starts talking::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: When Brianna and I were talking to them, the one called Brit was very angry over something. He was only in on the whole caper for the money.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: The others were in it because they don't like the mixing of races... or so it came across. They were Purists.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::has a question for the counselor but waits for him to finish::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: These Purists have the children now. ::sighs and prods the toy:: I think this was one of the kids’ toys.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods slowly, recognizing the various elements of motivation in the different persons::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::prods away at a PADD::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: While I was in captivity, I had a meeting with the Head of Operations for the planet. The Cortast. It was his ship we were on when I was taken.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Glances at the toy, his eyes remaining on it for a few seconds, hatred building inside::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: wonders what the doc is up to, then glances over at the CEO; she had not seen him in awhile.::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: He's a pirate, plain and simple. But he married into the ruling family, and his contacts made their operation more efficient, so they put up with it.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: He told me that heads were going to roll, because one of his ships was used... he doesn't like that.

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::frowns at the pad and prods a few more times::

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
::glances at Aleister for a moment and then looks back at Varesh::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: After the meeting I was supposed to be released, but someone drugged me and threw me in the cells instead.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks back at the counsellor:: CNS: This Cortast person is in league with the abductors?

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: No, he wasn't.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Glances across at Aaron, and then back at Varesh::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at Gary and Christina:: XO/CSO: The angry one outside the cell when you rescued me.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::frowns::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Frowns as well:: CNS: That was the Cortast?

CEO_Ens_AlThor says:
::glances at the SO and grins then returns his attention to Varesh::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: So all these pirates wanted was their transport ship?

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: smiles and turns back to the others.::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: No, sorry. The angry one threw me in the cells. The Cortast has nothing to do with that.

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::looks around at those who are speaking and can't make sense out of what they're trying to say then returns to prodding at his PADD::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: CNS: And the angry one.. He was in on the whole abduction thing? I mean the children's abduction...

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: As far as I can tell yes.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods and ponders::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: I'm guessing so... I don't have any pertinent information on that.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: Inside the toy, I found a note, written in blood, and some other things. The note reads "Purist" and some numbers. I haven't made sense of that yet.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods slowly, taking a note on the PADD::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: Nudges the doc at her side.::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: That is what I know. ::leans back in his chair::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: I'd like to determine which species that blood comes from if you don't mind

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
:: looks to Brianna and smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Makes a quick note:: CNS: Thank you counselor.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJG_MacIntosh>  ::Notices a hale::  COM: Haling person: This is the Nighthawk, Acknowledging your hail.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods and hands the note to the CSO::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CO: I'd like to summarize what I gathered on the first planet when possible

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CSO: Go ahead Lieutenant.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::accepts the note and looks at it, then puts it nicely on the table for further analysis::

Varesh (~actdscrip@odn-343AB055.telkomadsl.co.za) has joined the conversation.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CO: We went to the first planet because a certain type of mineral was found at the abduction site. We later found this mineral to be used in make-up

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJg_MacIntosh> COM: Cortast:  Thank you, I will relay the message.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
All: It now seems the origin of this make-up are these entertainers who have been helping the purists for ideological of monetary reasons. In any event I dare say the Entertainers are our best lead right now

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CO: That is all

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::taps a bit more at his PADD::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CSO: Thank you Lieutenant.

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: Leans over and whispers::  CMO: What has you so involved?

Varesh is now known as CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CO: If I may?

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods slowly, looking around the table::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJg_MacIntosh> *CO*: Captain, sorry to disturb you, but I have a message from the Cortast.  He says he has a gift for you.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh (~actdscrip@odn-343AB055.telkomadsl.co.za) has left the conversation.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks around the room:: FCO: Have you... ::Stops:: CNS: Of course.

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::smiles again and whispers:: SO: Building a better razor. I broke mine this morning.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
All: As far as I could determine at the time, the only one that had anything to do with the Purists was Brit. And he's dead. The rest of the troupe was on hiatus.

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
::looks at the CO as he hears his name::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::remembers the Llubgod wanted to take them to their leader but wonders if that is relevant information. In any event, the XO knows it as well::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: Oh I see, I suppose I was being optimistic

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CSO: Good idea though. Sorry I didn't make it more clear earlier.

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: whispers::  CMO: So that is what looks slightly odd.  Ye know... I kind of liked cousin It.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks up at the COM:: *MacIntosh*: Thank you Lieutenant.  Did he say about where it was?

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods smiling at the CNS::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJG_MacIntosh> *CO*: No he didn't.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Glances back at the captain as he enters into communications with the bridge::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::whispers:: SO: Well, you know I would have kept it like that but it kept getting in the way and I have nothing to tie it up with. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*MacIntosh*: Very well I will contact him shortly.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJG_MacIntosh> COM: Cortast: May I ask where this gift is?  The Captain will contact you shortly.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::idly unpacks his pockets while the Captain talks, the other toys that was inside the stuffed toy with the note. A marble, some shells, a few other objects::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*CO*: Apparently, the gift is ready to be beamed aboard.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::glances at the note from the counselor on the table, not wanting to wait to examine it. notices how the words are smeared, as if written with a person's own blood::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: keeping her voice low::  CMO: I promise I will look further into helping you out... maybe slow it down if nothing else.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*MacIntosh*: Oh alright I will exam the gift later.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
Self: This must have been left specifically for Varesh...by someone who couldn't even get to a pen.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJg_MacIntosh> *CO* He has relayed the co-ordinates to me, and says there is no need to call  back.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*MacIntosh*: Very well.

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::smiles and whispers:: SO: I'd like that very much. but there's no rush, I'd like to se how long I can get away with having it this long.

CEO_Ens_AlThor says:
::wonders when the last time the transporters were calibrated::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: Anything else to add?

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Notices the CSO a bit lost in thoughts::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CO: Just that these objects inside the toy looks like it was something from each of the children. This marble, the shells...this looks like a claw. ::smiles:: It’s theirs.

SO_Lt_Rose says:
CMO: Until you stumble over it or it becomes dread locks?  The captain is not going to let you off ship like that.  ::smiles::  I don't think he is into giant tribbles either.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CNS: Any idea where this could have come from?

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::looks for a pattern in the numbers which are easy to translate but can't seem to find one. Perhaps the computer will::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
SO: Maybe you could help me keep it out of the way until I get this new razor up and running. ::smiles::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CO: Only thing I can think of... the children were held in those cells at some point, but have been moved since.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Glances over at the FCO again::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: So whoever has the children was there. And who do you think those toys were intended to?

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
::looks down at the table and grins::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: They were just forgotten there? One of each? A big coincidence

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CSO: I think they were left as a clue by the kids, in case someone was looking for them.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods:: CNS: Makes sense, makes a lot of sense, along with this note ...

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::glances around the table, then looks at the toy again::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
All: We have someone with the children wanting to help us it seems

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: It seems you are quite connected to that toy.  ::Looks at the toy and wonders what it resembles::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Frowns slightly, surprised at that conclusion:: CSO: Or the abductors are just sloppy with security..

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CO: It’s a symbol of hope. ::looks over at Gary:: XO: It could be a nurse.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
CNS: A nurse?

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJG_MacIntosh>  ::Beams the Captain's reset aboard, placing it in a Level 3 force field, just in case::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
XO: I'd say both. We have an informant, maybe one of the children, maybe someone else. And the kidnapper’s security allows clues to pass

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::taps at his PADD, pausing to scratch at the white streak in his hair::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
XO: Conjecture only. A nurse with the children to look after them?

Host NightWind says:
Action: A box, 50x50 cm is beamed aboard.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: Could be. When this is over I'll look if the Xindi database has a match with the DNA from this blood

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::shrugs:: CNS/CSO: That is a possibility... Let's hope that's the case...

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
XO: I'm guessing an informant. The toy was in a box, within reach of my cell, along with the transmitter and micro wire.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJG_MacIntsoh>  ::Sets the scanners is transporter room 2 to scan the box::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::searches her PADD looking for something::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods slowly, putting the pieces together at last::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Glances at Aaron again::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CO: In any event Captain,. we are in the middle of what could potentially be a civil war between these purists and Xindi government

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::frowns to himself, looking around the table again::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::smiles at the PADD and taps it again::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
CMO: Something good?

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns to the captain:: CO: How far does our mandate on this mission stretch?

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CSO: It does seem that way?

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
::looks up from the table with a grin::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Well I hope we can just find the children and get this over with.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::smiles as she looks at the PADD:: All: 3 people disappeared at the same time and place as the children, one governess, one guard and one technician. they might have all been purists in disguise or they were taken because the safety of the children was important for some reason

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
All: In any event, our informant might be one of them

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
SO: Starting to look that way... I think I’ve finally found a compound to make the blades from which won't overheat under intense usage.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<LtJG_MacIntosh>  ::Notices the scanners reporting organic matter in the box, and stops the scanning, waiting for the CMO to be available to continue the investigation::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods at the Captain realizing he spoke:: CO: So we will never know who is friend, who is foe, who knows what we are here for and who doesn't

SO_Lt_Rose says:
CMO: Well, I can always braid your hair later and you can focus on... well, whatever part you want shaved.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods slowly, not liking that prospect but at the same time knowing it's their day to day job::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::smiles:: SO: I might take you up on that offer. maybe if I grow it long enough I can use it as a weapon.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CO: Maybe Contrast left you yet another clue

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CSO: I have a feeling he did.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
<Cortast>

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*SO and CMO*: Sorry to disturb you Sirs, but the captain's gift has been beamed aboard.  No weapons, but some kind of organic matter, in a box.  You may want investigate this soon...  I think it might be important.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Glances at the captain:: CO: I think we're about done here.. Want to break up and find out what we received?

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<add LtJG_MacIntosh>

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks to his left:: CNS: You might want to take a look at that gift.

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::nods:: OPS: that would probably be a good idea.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: Take Lt Tulpen with you.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CO/CNS: And I'll take the opportunity to run a DNA scan on this blood as well ::gets up::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::looks surprised:: CO: Oh, you mean now? ::starts getting out of his seat::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
SO: You up for running a few scans? ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks at Varesh:: CNS: Yes now....

SO_Lt_Rose says:
CMO: Looks like it.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::nods:: CSO: Shall we? ::indicates the doors, and for her to precede him::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: Transporter room 2 it is ::heads for the door::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::motions toward the door:: SO: Shall we? ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks at Aaron:: FCO: Now about your guest you brought back.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::taps her badge::*CPO K'pok*: bring me a portable organic analyser to TR2 immediately

SO_Lt_Rose says:
CMO: Seems a bit much to have all of us go.

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
CO:  Yes Captain?

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods to the CNS and walks out the room and into the TL::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: Follows along, curious.::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
FCO: Fill me in on where you found him and who he is

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::Walks with Christina:: CSO: I'm pretty sure you will find a match for that blood sample.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
<K'Pok>::acknowledges the CSO::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::heads for the transporter room::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: I think so too, and I don't think a small child would be able to write with their own blood. I am curious about these numbers though

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::once the 2 are in the TL:: Computer: transporter room 2

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CSO: They have to mean something... what will be the puzzle indeed.

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
CO:  I'm not exactly sure who he is.  All I know is that he had an appetite for our XO!

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Stands up and heads back to the bridge::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::blinks as the CSO didn't hold the lift for them::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
FCO: Appetite as in eating him?

CEO_Ens_AlThor says:
::Gets up from the table and heads back to main engineering::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: Steps in the lift with the doctor.::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
SO: Maybe we should have walked faster.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods at the FCO:: CO: And it wasn't very pleasant either... Though for some reason, I think he said something about needing to bring us to his leader... But we had other priorities there...

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
CO:  Yes sir!  But we managed to keep him occupied with other means.

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: shrugs::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::gets out of the TL as it stops and walks towards TR2:: CSO: This gift puzzles me though. What will the Cortast want to send?

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
CO:  Perhaps you might want to speak with him.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: You said yourself he didn't seem to be one of the purists. So maybe he has interests in telling us something as well ::exits the lift::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
FCO: Yes I would... Can you escort him to the ready room?

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::waits quietly for the next lift::

CEO_Ens_AlThor says:
::Enters main engineering and starts to check the readings::

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::nods looking at K'Pok, an old Klingon, carrying a heavy piece of machinery::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CSO: Sounds the most plausible answer. But he doesn't really know we're looking for the children. I hinted at it, and he is quite smart.

FCO_Lt_Knight says:
CO:  Of course Captain.  ::gets up::  If you'll excuse me.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: And who knows, maybe the pirates have spies in the government. They could know who we are and what our mission is all along

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off.::

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CSO: Now that I can believe.

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
::kneels by the box and scans it with a tricorder for explosives and such::

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Commander Keep us in orbit and maintain current speed and course.

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::steps out with Rose:: SO: I don't suppose we have any idea what to expect?

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods, standing from his chair:: CO: Anything else?

CSO_LtJG_Tulpen says:
CNS: All I am reading is harmless organic matter and some sort of device. No explosives, all safe. Want to do the honors of opening it?

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Keep me apprised on the situation of my gift.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Sits down at his console on the bridge and starts making notes on the briefing::

CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::steps into the TR::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
CO: Yes sir... Excuse me.. ::Turns towards the exit and leaves the conference room::

SO_Lt_Rose says:
:. shakes her head::  CMO: Your guess is as good as mine.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::shrugs:: CSO: Sure. ::reaches for the box, looking up as Brianna and Caelen enters the TR:: SO/CMO: Just in time. ::opens the box::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION: Inside the box is the head of the counselors 'angry one', its face a forever locked in a grimace of pain.  Next to it is a data PADD.

Host NightWind says:
