Pendragon Mission
10202.09

An Ancient Broken Way pt 5

Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis:  The captain believes she has had a visit from the spirit of the Pendragon; a visit that brought questions, not answers.  At Gilthanas suggestion, the ships JAG officer is now the CMO.  But the path for the XO now lies through uncertain waters... as does the path of the ship.

In sickbay, the CSO lay in some kind of dream stage while her body completed its healing.  The captain ordered Trget down to keep an eye on her until she could be debriefed.  The ensign insisted on being right next to the CSO.  The captain gave him her permission.  The last she would ever give him.

In concern for the weakened state of the science officer, the doctor on duty placed Trget in the decom room.  An error occurred in the system and the science officer's beloved Trget has died.

Host CO_Zax says:
*CSO*: Yes, Commander O'Dunn?

Host CO_Zax says:
::is on the bridge where she usually is::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: Do you have a moment for a couple of questions?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::already walking toward the lifts::

XO_Kyrron says:
::checks the time, and has a while yet.  Wonders why all the bother anyways::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
@::receives a proximately alert and gets up to check the sensors::

Host CO_Zax says:
::as unlike the XO she has already donned her whites.....:: *CSO*: Of course.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the lift:: TL: Bridge.

XO_Kyrron says:
::Looks in the mirror and thinks that this white uniform makes her look fat::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, this is odd ...

XO_Kyrron says:
::sighs and leaves her quarters::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the young OPS officer:: OPS: Odd, Pettigrove?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Traffic outside of Orion space is normal  ::shows her the readout:: ...

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks down at the readout curiously::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain.... we are continuing to drift toward the moon we detected the signal from earlier.  All attempts to alter course have only increased speed and continued pulling us in that direction.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  But look at the readout for inside Orion space ... ::shows the CO the readout that shows hardly any traffic::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: swears loudly and closes his tricorder and heads for the bridge ::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
@::notes the Excelsior class vessel on sensors and opens hailing frequencies::

XO_Kyrron says:

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns:: FC: Compensate. ::said impatiently::

XO_Kyrron says:
::fusses with her uniform::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  CIV's ship enters Orion space.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Very strange indeed.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Comm traffic is the same ... normal outside of Orion space but very quiet inside ...

FCO_Rofax says:
::continues making attempts to alter course, altering speed and pitch as they go::

XO_Kyrron says:
::arrives on bridge::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Has it been like this for awhile?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the XO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Yes ma'am it has.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: slams his hand on the turbolift wall after the door has closed :: TL: Bridge !

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::exits the lift and enters the bridge, pausing momentarily as she sees some of the crew in dress uniform::

XO_Kyrron says:
::nods at O'Dunn happy to see her up and about::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Continue monitoring. Try a cross frequency relay switch. See what you pick up.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
@::wonders how the Federation won the Dominion war when they don't even notice when they are being hailed::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::nods back, walking up to the CO:: CO: Captain.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, ma'am.

Host CO_Zax says:
::notices the XO looks...chubby in her dress whites::

XO_Kyrron says:
::is glad she is not telepathic... for some strange reason::

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  I have a job for you.

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles at O'Dunn:: CSO: I'm glad to see you are up and about.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries the cross frequency relay switch ... waits for a response from the system::

TO_McCloud says:
CO/XO: Two Orion ships on sensors!

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Thanks. ::eyes the RR doors::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain.... incoming hail from a Cardassian transport...

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Never mind.  What's their heading?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at O'Dunn and stands::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
@::continues to fly closer and closer to the Pendragon::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Tria, you have the bridge.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: exits the turbolift and steps on to the bridge ::

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Right boss.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::follows Zax into the RR::

Host CO_Zax says:
::walks to her RR::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: sees the Captain and CSO head toward the Ready Room ::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The CIV's shuttle finds itself settling at the same pace as the Pendragon.  No faster, no slower.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I'm also picking up a hail from a Cardassian ship.

Host CO_Zax says:
::takes her seat and motions for the CSO to sit as well::

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Any progress on the investigation?

TO_McCloud says:
CO/XO: I also have a shuttle

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr.... incoming hail.... care to take that?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
@::briefly contemplates firing a shot across its bow::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  It's keeping pace with us, Sir.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::sits, and gathers her words to best form her question::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Put the Cardassian on screen.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye ::puts the hail on-screen::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Captain, something about the...incident....has been bothering me.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: blinks and turns to Kyrron :: XO: I have found nothing Commander :: shakes head :: I am at a loss.

XO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CEO then looks up at the screen::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: You wanted to ask me something, Commander?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
@COM: Pendragon: ::smiles::  Nice to finally speak with you.

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Track those Orion ships.  If they are coming this way I want to know about it.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Why was a guard posted to me in sickbay?

XO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Marat:  Hi there.  What can we do for you?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION: A young Cardassian female appears on the screen.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: moves to the Engineering console and reviews once more the tricorder data ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the Cardassian on the screen curiously ... she's never seen one before::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
COMM: Pendragon: I'm here with orders from Starfleet Command. Permission to come aboard.

FCO_Rofax says:
::is half-tempted to spit at the screen and override phaser control::

XO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Civ:  Permission granted.

TO_McCloud says:
CO/XO: Their heading towards the moon area.. Wait!

Host CO_Zax says:
::tilts her head slightly:: CSO: Strange things were going on, here and on the planet. It was in your best interest to keep an eye on you until you could report in.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Close the channel.

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Wait?

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  The same moon we seem to be drifting toward?

TO_McCloud says:
CO/XO: Their pausing

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
@::seeing the shuttlebay doors open... she brings the shuttle in::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::closes the channel and arranges quarters for the cardassian::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns, slightly unsatisfied with the answer:: CO: And why inside sickbay? That certainly wasn't standard.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Against regulations, most of the time.

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr..... all attempts to alter course have failed.... speed has increased gradually over the past 12 hours....

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: blinks and looks at the tricorder data :: XO: Commander... do you have a moment ???

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::having landed and noticed the lack of a welcoming party... proceeds into the outer corridor::

TO_McCloud says:
CO/XO: They're coming for us!

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a slight brow:: CSO: After the Dr. Uhoh fiasco, I had no choice.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The shuttle lands a bit sluggishly.

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Just a sec.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I....see. ::frowns a little more, looking very concerned::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Hail the Orions.

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Raise shields.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::stops a crewman and asks directions for the bridge::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: re-checks the tricorder data once more and frowns at the information ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Hailing.  ::hails the Orion vessel::

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  What is it?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Captain, did anything...odd...happen while I was unconscious. Besides what happened to Tr'get, I mean.

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
COMM: Pendragon:  You were asked to leave our space.

TO_McCloud says:
::raises the shields::

XO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Hand:  We seem to be having technical problems.  Bear with us.

Host CO_Zax says:
::hesitates:: CSO: Odd?

FCO_Rofax says:
::notices the pull toward the moon has stopped::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
XO: Commander... the decontamination chamber has not malfunctioned... however... I found an unusual energy reading .... emanating from the CSO ... just before the incident. :: frowns ::

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr.... may I have a word with you?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::having received directions to the nearest turbo lift... enters and heads for the bridge wondering why Federation Security is so lax::

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Unusual in what way?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::looking a little more sure of herself:: CO: Yes, odd. By your standards.

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Yes?

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
COMM:  Pendragon:  That excuse worked once.  Not again.  Leave our space now!

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: In sickbay? Not that I'm aware of.

XO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Hand:  I assure you we want out of here as much as you want us out.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
XO: Unknown... just that they emanated from ... HER !  :: frowns ::just after T'rget died

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ XO: When the Orion ship appeared, the drift toward the planet ceased....  suggest we depart the area? ~~~

XO_Kyrron says:
::looks sharply at Rofax then nods::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Not just sickbay. The shuttle, transporter room...anywhere I've been in the last 36 hours.

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
COMM:  Pendragon:  Then leave.  ::Cuts hailing frequency and begins closing.::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Slave a science console to yours and see if you can figure out what was drawing us toward that moon.

FCO_Rofax says:
::alters heading toward Fed Space and powers up warp engines::   XO: Cmdr....  engage?

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  At your leisure.

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head:: CSO: outside of a strange dream or two, nothing that I'm aware of. May I ask why?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::slaves Science and begins scanning the area::

FCO_Rofax says:
::banks the Pen out of the area and goes to warp::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Strange dream...? ::shakes her own head:: Nothing, I don't think. Just....

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Well, if it was after he died then it doesn't matter, right?

Host CO_Zax says:
::feeling the ship go to warp, she looks surprised::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::stepping out onto the bridge in full Cardassian Military gear... boots clanging on the deck plates, she looks about the bridge::

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Get us out of Orion space as fast as you can.

Host CO_Zax says:
*XO*: Problem, Number One?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I woke up feeling...guilty. Before I even knew about what had happened.

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  Do you have orders?

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
::Watches the Pendragon leave with a sigh of relief.::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: frowns :: XO: If you say so Commander... have you know the CSO to emanate energy readings before ?

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks sharply at O'Dunn:: CSO: Guilty?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees a very faint energy signature ... makes a closer study of that region::

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr.... and gladly at that....

XO_Kyrron says:
*CO*:  The pull towards the moon has let up and we are leaving Orion space.  A couple of their ships are on us.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Guilty...and I can't even imagine why. But my gut tells me that something unusual has happened to me.

TO_McCloud says:
XO/CO: Weapons are charged

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  No.  Have you?

Host CO_Zax says:
::brings up the CSO's service record::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: You are not telepathic?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::picks up the remnants of an energy beam coming from the moon::

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Well done.  Hold off and let's see if the Orions follow us.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Have you ever known a human telepath?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::notes the XO and smiles widely::  XO: Yes I do.  And may I say how proud I am of standing on the bridge of the ship that single handedly saved Cardassia from a plague?

Host CO_Zax says:
*XO*: Evasive maneuvers, maximum warp. I'm sure you are handling the situation.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander.  I'm picking up a faint trace of an energy beam.  It's possibly from the moon but it's too faint to be sure.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::hands the XO a PADD with orders from Admiral Regert::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
XO: I have not known the CSO long enough to make any assumptions... I would not be aware of.... any types of energy she might or might not have

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
ACTION:  The Orion ship follows at a distance, towards the border.

XO_Kyrron says:
::looks at the CIV in surprise::  CIV:  Good to have you aboard.  Now, about those orders?  ::holds out her hand::

FCO_Rofax says:
::increases warp and maintains heading toward Fed Space::

Host CO_Zax says:
:smiles slowly:: CSO: As a matter of fact...no, but that doesn't mean there are none.

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Sure.  ::grins::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::smiles widely at the XO and glances down at the PADD in her outstretched arm::

XO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Her neural scans indicated some unusual activity as well.  However, that means nothing.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::shakes head:: CO: Sorry, but I have trouble with the concept. Scientifically, it just isn't feasible. The closest thing I have is chi....

XO_Kyrron says:
::takes the PADD from the CIV and studies it::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: notices the arrival of the Cardassian woman on the bridge and nods politely ::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Chi....?

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  You have been assigned to us?

FCO_Rofax says:
::unconsciously places his hand on his blade, uneasy with the thought of a Cardassian on the bridge::

XO_Kyrron says:
::sees Road’s movement and looks toward him::  Thinks to self:  Humm... this could be trouble.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::nods back at the CEO then turns back to the XO::  XO: Now what seems to be the problem here today? ::looking at the busy bridge staff::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::glances at Rofax and begins to feel a little nervous::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: frowns at Kyrron :: XO: Her neural.... perhaps if I compared the 2 ... I am no doctor... but this may prove interesting... :: moves back to the engineering console ::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Some humans believe that a person's spiritual energy can be tapped...it's called "chi". I believe in it as a focusing mechanism.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: I have, by orders of Admiral Regert of Starbase 78.  I have been assigned with mutual agreements of our two governments as a civilian observer

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: And do you believe this...Chi...could have contributed to T'rget's death?

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  We have a minor situation.  I suggest you check with OPS for your quarters assignment then get settled in.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: But "chi" doesn't make me telepathic...not by a long shot.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::wonders why the XO hasn't responded ... shrugs and goes back to her console::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  I'm sorry.  Did you say something?

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
ACTION:  The Pendragon has exited Orion space.  Arranged along the borders are the two Orion ships with two more on the way.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: brings up the CSO's medical scans and compares them with his tricorder readings ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I was saying I've picked up the faint trace of an energy beam.  However it's too faint to tell where it originated.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::nods politely at the XO then moves toward the Ops console::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: No. It's more of a mental state...it's not an external influence.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Is that moon a possibility?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I'm just trying to figure this out.

FCO_Rofax says:
::takes note of the other vessels and makes appropriate evasives to maintain a safe distance::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Very possible, Sir.  It was coming from that general direction.  I can't be more specific, though.

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Are the Orions staying in their space or following us still?

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Nice work

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::standing by the Ops console, politely waiting for the conversation between OPS and the XO to end::

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles slightly:: CSO: I understand, more than you know.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::glances up at the Cardassian::  CIV:  Ma'am.

XO_Kyrron says:
*CO*:  We have left Orion space

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Continue to look for that Terrillian ship, I suppose.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::grins at the XO:: XO:  I guess so.

FCO_Rofax says:
::notices the new crewmember standing precariously close to him and feels his skin is jumping off his body::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: May I make a suggestion? Stop being so hard on yourself. Should a part of your unconscious mind have contributed to T'rget's death, it was an accident.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::smiling back down at the OPS Officer::  OPS: No need to call me ma'am.  In the eyes of Starfleet I am merely a civilian.  ::pausing::  I was wondering what my room assignments were.

XO_Kyrron says:
::moves closer to the FCO and whispers::  FCO:  Pindari.  Relax.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CIV:  Quarters have been assigned to you on Deck 3.  If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I wish it were that simple. I feel like I'm responsible somehow, but know I can't possibly be. If I knew one way or the other....

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::nods quaintly then proceeds back to the turbolift with her gear::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~~ XO: You must be kidding me.... did you catch that name...... Marat..... ~~~~

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Run a search pattern outside of Orion space.  Let's give OPS a chance to find that ship.

XO_Kyrron says:
::briefly puts her hand on the FCO's shoulder::

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Understood Cmdr....  ::goes back to minding his console::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::continues searching for the freighter::

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Location of the Orion ships?

FCO_Rofax says:
::lays in search pattern and coordinates with OPS readouts::

Host CO_Zax says:
::thinks for a moment:: CSO: Speak with the FCO, he is a powerful telepath. Also...confer with the CEO. There may be another answer.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::while stepping into the rear turbolift... she steals a steely glance at the FCO before the door shuts::

XO_Kyrron says:
::watches the CIV depart wondering what that look was all about::

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Uhh... it is following

FCO_Rofax says:
::turns his head, just as the lift door close.... glaring with spite... ::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::opens mouth, then closes it:: CO: With your permission, I'd rather keep this between us, at least for now.

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Is it outside of Orion space?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: CSO: I understand. If I can do anything?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::enters her quarters on deck three... rather surprised they decided to treat her with diplomatic status::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::is still unable to find the freighter ... beginning to get frustrated::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: You've been patient enough with me as it is. Thank you. ::rises, waiting for dismissal::

FCO_Rofax says:
::alters course slightly... attempting to clarifying OPS scans::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
Computer: Lights.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Cancel yellow alert.

TO_McCloud says:
XO: no

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye ::cancels yellow alert::

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Keep an eye on them.  Let me know if they move.

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles gently:: CSO: My door is always open. Another idea: the ship's counselor may be able to help you work this out.

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Aye, ma'am

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Can we hail the Orion ship from here?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks:: XO:  Yes, Sir.  They are still in range.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: CO: Thank you. ::exits the RR::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::throws her gear on the nearby couch briefly thinking about accessing the terminal before realizing she likely hasn't received any clearance yet::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: sees the CSO exit the Ready Room and looks into her eyes then back down to the console then back to her :: CSO: Commander... do you have a moment ?

XO_Kyrron says:
::waits for the CO to come out of the RR::

Host CO_Zax says:
::stands and walks out of the room::

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  We have a civilian assigned to us.  ::hands her the PADD::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::is almost surprised to hear the CEO actually speaking to her:: CEO: What can I do for you, Lieutenant?

FCO_Rofax says:
::snaps to::  ALL: Captain on the Deck!

Host CO_Zax says:
::takes the PADD::

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  We have left Orion space.  OPS managed to find an energy beam possibly emanating from the moon.

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CSO: I wished you opinion on these energy readings... I.... detected them in sickbay.... from... :: looks to her :: you !

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Please confer on the readings.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO: And we have resumed our search for the freighter.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  We are still in range of the Orion vessels.  Do you still wish to hail them, Sir?

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Sure, why not.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Position of the Orions?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::manages not to go pale as she approaches the display, looking intently::

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  They broke off pursuit and are holding on their border.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::remembering a standard Federation procedure she read about before coming aboard... decides to head for sickbay for her checkup::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Opening channel.  ::hails the Orions::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Have the CIV report  to me when she has settled in.

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
COMM:  Pendragon:  Yes?

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CSO: I detected them from you... right after T'rget's death... :; frowns ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Did you want to have a word with the Orions?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CIV*:  OPS to Marat.  The Captain would like you to report to her when you've settled in.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: But what is it.... ::looks and points:: ...and look at this. You've got a parallax error here.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  OPS has the channel open.

Host CO_Zax says:
COM:Orions: I am Captain Zax of the Federation starship, Pendragon.

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
::Stands rigidly straight::  CO:  Yes Captain?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::just entering the turbolift to sickbay pauses at the COMM::  *OPS*: On my way.  ::steps into the turbolift and orders it to the bridge::

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles slightly::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: frowns :: CSO: I most certainly do not have an error !

XO_Kyrron says:
::collapses in her chair exhausted and worried about how Rofax will react to this Marat person::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::corrects the error, which shows that the energy readings actually originated slightly above her body:: CEO: That's got it...but it doesn't make things much clearer.

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
::Waits::

Host CO_Zax says:
COMM:Bloody: I am searching for a freighter we were escorting home. I apologize for any inconvenience we have caused.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: frowns :: CSO: Above ???

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::enters the bridge... boots once again clanging on the deck plates::

FCO_Rofax says:
::hears that awful scrape of Cardassian boots and remember he is due to sharpen his machete when he gets off shift::

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
COMM:  CO:  We have no freighter captain.  And if it is in our space, it is no longer your concern.  Go through the correct procedure.

Host CO_Zax says:
::cringes at the sound of the boots::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::looks confused:: CEO: Yeah...I've got to look at that moon for the captain. Be right back.

XO_Kyrron says:
::notices the CO is a bit busy at the moment::  CIV:  Are you familiar with systems of a Starfleet vessel?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hears the boots and glances back::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::noticing the awkward FCO and lightly fingers the Cardassian Disruptor strapped to her side::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: cannot help but admire the CSO's physique ::

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  The Orions still holding steady at the border?

Host CO_Zax says:
COMM: Bloody: I would ask your permission to investigate this area for signs of the ship. ::hesitates:: I understand other ships have disappeared as well. Perhaps we can be of mutual help?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: As familiar as I can be... however... I doubt I have been given even clearance level one as yet.

FCO_Rofax says:
Self: Correct procedure?  How 'bout a volley of photon torpedoes to explain correct procedure...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::chuckles softly to herself at Rofax's comment::

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Yes

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  That will be at the Captain's discretion.  Could we talk you into trying Starfleet issue footwear?

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
COMM:  CO:  We are capable of handling our own problems.  They are none of Starfleet’s.  If you are missing a vessel, go through proper procedures.

Host CO_Zax says:
::overhearing the XO smiles slightly::

XO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the TO and is glad they have a competent man on tactical::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: I'm afraid that would be a rupture of both Starfleet and Cardassian procedures.  I am not Starfleet after all Commander

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head slightly:: COMM:Bloody: When the Orion fleet has all disappeared, Captain, it will be too late.

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  Your boots make a bit of a clatter on our deck plating.  ::smiles ingratiatingly::

FCO_Rofax says:
::pauses slightly at the CIV's remark and goes back to his work::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::smiles:: XO: Well Commander.  I'm sure my boots will wear out before your deck plates do.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: I can't see anything. Where did you locate that energy burst?

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
CO:  Then I would advise you to get onto the proper channels... and remain out of our space.  ::Closes channel::

Host CO_Zax says:
::motions for the OPS to cut the signal::

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  And the Captain may have concerns about your weapon on the bridge.  ::is getting annoyed::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::closes the channel::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Contact SFC. Get us permission to enter their space.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  I found the trace near the moon that was pulling us in.

Host CO_Zax says:
::turns and smiles at the new CIV::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::smiles::  XO: Then from this point forward, I will leave my weapon in my quarters.  Will that suffice?

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  That would be fine.  Thank you.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: frowns as he hears the XO mention the weapons on the bridge and wonders if he should mention to the XO his 5 hidden weapons on his uniform and decides not to::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns:: OPS: Nothing. Send the logs to me, please. ::heads back to the engineering station::

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: Welcome aboard the Pendragon.....::glances at the PADD in her hand::......Ginn Marat.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::seeing the CO::  CO: Ah Captain... may I say how proud I am of being on the bridge of the Pendragon.  Surely a ship of honour among my people

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sends a message to SFC requesting permission to enter Orion space::

FCO_Rofax says:
::nearly shudders at the mention of the name::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Forwarding scans to you now.  ::sends scans to science::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: Anything yet?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, I'm getting reply orders.  We are to return to Starbase 78.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::smiles at the CO's error:: CO: Actually Captain that is Emsil Marat.  My Cardassian rank is that of Glinn yes.

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles again:: CIV: You honor us, I'm sure.

FCO_Rofax says:
::begins plotting return course to SB 78::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: blinks and turns to O'Dunn :: CSO: Even the medical scans have shown nothing... I am... confused to say the least.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Shall I acknowledge the orders, Sir.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: Me too. ::looks at the panel, puzzled::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CO: Captain, I know how difficult my presence may be on your ship with the recent war and all but be assured, I intend to make my time beneficial to both our people.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Acknowledge the orders.

XO_Kyrron says:
::thinks this is the chattiest Cardassian she has ever seen::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sends SFC acknowledgement of the orders::

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: My apologies for the error. I am sure you will fit in wonderfully. You have been assigned your quarters?

FCO_Rofax says:
::finishes plotting the course correction::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::lost in thought, doesn't realize that their eyes locked almost a minute ago::

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns and turns to the XO:: XO: SB78 again?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CO: Aye Captain.  I am rather pleased with the Guest quarters on deck three.  Thank you.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Apparently so.  Should we be on our way, then?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods with a sigh::

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Course plotted to the starbase?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: I should go. I'm not supposed to be working for another day or so. ::still looking at him::

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: looks to her :: CSO: Yet here you are....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Acknowledgement of orders sent.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::thinks she could have waited at Starbase 78 in the first place instead of coming all the way out here only to return again::

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Off we go then.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: Sometimes my instincts get the better of me. ::turns and heads for the lift::

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr.   ::takes the Pen out, headed for SB 78::

Host Capt_Blood_Hand says:
ACTION:  The Pendragon quickly leaves the area.

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles again:: CIV: When you are settled in, I'm sure Lt. Rofax will be delighted to give you a tour of the ship.

XO_Kyrron says:
::eyes go wide::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: moves quickly next to her before she leaves CSO: I have not been correct with you these last few days.. .I wish to correct that

XO_Kyrron says:
::looks toward Rofax::

FCO_Rofax says:
::thinks  sure.... straight to the morgue...::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CO: I would appreciate that Captain.  ::smiling down at the FCO's console::

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Something on LRS. Too far to tell.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::stops:: CEO: I see. And what exactly would you do to correct it?

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Will our course bring us nearer?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::quickly checks subspace channels in case it’s the freighter::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Please announce that the memorial service will commence in 15 minutes.

XO_Kyrron says:
::had almost forgotten about that::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye

XO_Kyrron says:
::sighs::

FCO_Rofax says:
::nearly forgot about it::

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Yes

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::opens ship-wide comm::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::looks sadly confused::  CO: Captain?  Funeral?

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Get what you can as we get closer.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: matches his gaze and exhales :: CSO: I am a private man... I do not do well with feelings of a personal nature.... if we could talk in private after I complete my duty shift I would appreciate it

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods sadly:: CIV: We had an unexpected death, I’m afraid.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*ALL*:  Attention all hands.  The Memorial service will commence in the Atrium in 15 minutes.

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Yes, ma'am.

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Don't call me ma'am.

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Sorry

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Please escort our guest to sickbay for her physical.

TO_McCloud says:
CO: Yes, ma... sir. CIV: Please follow me. ::walks into the TL::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::at the CO's words she looks to the TO::

FCO_Rofax says:
::is half-tempted to give the CIV a reason to be in sickbay::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::follows the TO::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::turns the gaze into a glare:: CEO: Talk? That's not what I want from you right now. I just spent a while in sickbay, close to death at times. If you give me what I want, I'll be back in there soon. ::smiles mischievously and enters the lift::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: continues to match the CSO's gaze ::

XO_Kyrron says:
::gets up and moves to the FCO.  Whispers:: FCO:  You coming to the service... please?

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles at the CIV:: CIV: I'll talk to you again. This is Lt. McCloud. He'll show you the way to sickbay.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: blinks and stares at the closing turbolift doors ::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks suddenly at the FCO and sees his expression::

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: I wouldn't think otherwise...   ::stands and walks out with Tria::

TO_McCloud says:
TL: SickBay
