10303.22

Guest Starring:
Gilles as Jarnok.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10303.22. We are enroute to the Eronus Zeta sector, where several ship have been the victim of unprovoked attacks. Given the proximity to the Orions' known hunting grounds, piracy is suspected. We are approaching with caution...

Host She-Devil says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>

CNS_Luchena says:
*CIV*:  Please report to my office for your psychological evaluation.  Deck seven.

CIV_Brock says:
::Is in his quarters looking at a PADD with a list of holodeck programs on it.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::at her station::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes all the workstations::

CIV_Brock says:
*CNS*: I'm busy at the moment.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CIV*:  No you are not.  Get here on the double.  That's an order.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: is in sickbay clearing things up ::

XO_Rofax says:
::reads over the Mission Orders while sitting in his new "heavy-duty-could-hold-M'Tor's-big-butt" chair::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::has Flight Control slaved to her station::

CIV_Brock says:
::Throws the PADD aside, and heads for the Counselor's office.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes the XO's chair, waiting for it to break::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: ETA?

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The XO's new chair pinches his buttocks.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  ETA 15 minutes.

CIV_Brock says:
::Enters the Counselor's "Office".:: CNS: Yes, sir?

XO_Rofax says:
::shifts his weight and wonders if he should invest in a bridge hammock instead::

CNS_Luchena says:
::is in a bad mood::  CIV:  Have a seat.  ::gestures toward a chair::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: the chair makes a really rude noise.

CIV_Brock says:
::Sits.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::smirks::

XO_Rofax says:
::silently::  Self: Blasted burritos....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hears the noise and chuckles::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  So..  ::smiles insincerely::  How are you adjusting to the Pendragon?

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Fine, and I see right through that smile.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Have you heard of any new attacks in the Corridor?

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Really.  Are you telepathic?  ::looks up Brock's personnel file on his monitor::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks comms:: CO:  Captain, I'm picking up an automated distress signal, very faint.  It seems to be coming from the Eronus Zeta Sector.

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: I'm 3/4 betazoid...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Right on cue....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::gets ready to increase speed on the CO's order::

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Nothing beyond what the Admiral communicated to us.  It has been fairly quiet otherwise though.  ::taps up TAC scans on his armrest::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Lay in an intercept and try to hail them.

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Oh.  ::drops the phony smile::  If the truth be known I hate working in my office.  I'm required to do a psych. evaluation on you.  Being a civilian and all you don't come preassessed.  So tell me, are you crazy in any way?

XO_Rofax says:
::stands and crosses to the TAC console::  CO: If I may, I want to take a look, Captain.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Intercept course laid in.  ::lays in the course and engages, then opens hailing frequencies::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to Rofax::

CIV_Brock says:
::Cocks an eyebrow.:: CNS: No, of course not.

XO_Rofax says:
::logs on to the Primary station and pulls up the most recent data::

CNS_Luchena says:
::leans forward and looks him straight in the eye::  CIV:  Are you absolutely certain of that?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COMM: SHIP:  Ship is distress, this is the USS Pendragon, please respond.

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Yes.

XO_Rofax says:
::sighs::  CO: Captain, there have been 2 more reported attacks. No fatalities.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::continues hailing on all frequencies::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Really?  ::eyes him doubtfully::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Any detectable pattern to the attacks?

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Is this necessary?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  No response, Sir.  I'll keep trying.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: ETA to intercept?

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Yes.  If you’re insane we can't have you on the bridge.  ::grins::

Jarnok says:
@ ::hears voices far off in the distance::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks her instruments:: CO: 2 minutes.  Shall I begin scans, Sir?

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Running analysis now Captain.  ::tapping away::

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: You seem to be the one needing counseling...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Yes...and take us to yellow.

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  What makes you think so?  ::leans back in his chair waiting for the inevitable::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Yellow Alert, Aye Sir.  ::initiates yellow alert and begins scanning the surrounding space::

CMO_Shiar says:
DR. Nick: I’m going to the bridge to deal with the adjustments to sensors. shouldn't be too long.

Jarnok says:
@ ::decides to ignore the voices and stay where he is::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> CMO: ok

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Well, constantly asking me if I'm insane kinda tipped me off...

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices the yellow alert::  *XO*:  Do you need the CIV for anything because I'm assessing him and its not going well.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::picks up what appears to be a ship:: CO:  Captain, I have something.  A Klingon shuttle, K'Toch class.  I'm reading one passenger aboard.

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Tipped you off to what?

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, the attacks appear to be random.  No discernable pattern detected in the computer or from my own knowledge.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: leaves sickbay and enters a TL::  TL: bridge

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: See if THEY answer a hail.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods absently at the XO's conclusion::

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Stop trying to screw with my mind.

XO_Rofax says:
*CNS* Not just yet Counselor.  If all else fails, let Simmons have a crack at him.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  More information now, Sir.  The ship is old, very old.  It is badly damaged.  I am reading one life sign, one Klingon.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts to hum::

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes widen slightly::  CIV:  I'm not trying to screw with you.  You're not even my type.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hails:: CO:  No response to hails.  Sir, the ship's life support is failing, I'm also reading an imminent core overload.  Permission to beam the passenger on-board.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Directly to sickbay...and have security there too.

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Well, you're no prize pig yourself.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: walks onto the bridge::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Acknowledged.  *CMO*:  Doctor, prepare for an incoming patient.  ::beams the Klingon directly to sickbay::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  I really can have you relieved of duty you know.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: If that core is about to blow, keep us clear.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: oh ok, back in a few

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Okay, fine, back to the analysis.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: turns and goes back into the TL::  TL: sickbay

Jarnok says:
@ ::hopes the end will come soon::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  That's better.  Now tell me about your childhood.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::once confirmed that the Klingon is on-board moves the ship away from the Klingon shuttle::

XO_Rofax says:
::taps a few buttons and dispatches the Security Teams as ordered::

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: That's all in my file.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, readings suggest that both the Klingon and his ship are very old.  I'm still trying to determine exactly how old.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Record what data you can on that shuttle.

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Obviously I never read your file.  What is it you do on this ship anyway?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps out of the TL and into sickbay:: Dr. Nick: what do we have here then?

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The Klingon appears in sickbay, near death.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Can the shuttle be saved?

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.  It seems quite odd for a Klingon shuttle so poorly equipped to be floating around out here.  ::continues recording::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> CMO: that was quick. he's a Klingon, 205 years old and in critical condition.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I don't know, Sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods in agreement:: XO: Exactly why we want all the scans we can get.

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The Klingon is very old, even by Klingon standards.

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Well, I'm not exactly sure yet myself. I am qualified for Stellar Cartography, but I've basically been used to scan things since I've been here.

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: ok, lets see what we can do for him

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The shuttle blows up unexpectedly.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I might be able to stabilize the core from here ... ::her point is now moot as she watches the shuttle explode::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::actually WAS expecting that::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The ship rocks from the impact.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::asks for damage reports::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  We've been a little short-handed with the Chief Science Officer on leave.  So tell me, are you this surly with everyone?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::holds on to her armrest for the tremors::

XO_Rofax says:
::holds onto the console, unphased::

CNS_Luchena says:
::grips his desk as the ship rocks::

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: can't they keep this thing still for 1 minute?

Jarnok says:
::moans and coughs up some purple blood::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CIV falls out of his chair.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands up and looks over his desk::  CIV:  Are you okay?

Jarnok says:
::coughs vigorously for 2 minutes::

CIV_Brock says:
::Gets up.:: CNS: Fine.

XO_Rofax says:
::silently::  Self: This is becoming far too common.... where are the paranoid Romulans who think this is going to be all our fault?

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: I suppose so.

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: hmmmm. makes medical scans of the Klingons internal organs::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Report to your station.  One final warning though... watch the attitude, especially on the bridge.  Kerina.. err.. the Captain won't stand for it.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Any signs that the shuttle was fired upon?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Stand down yellow alert.

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: Yes, sir...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I got a glimpse of something on the edge of scanner range but it's gone now.

CIV_Brock says:
::Leaves for the bridge.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::is  not used to being called "Sir"::

CNS_Luchena says:
::waits a few minutes because he doesn't want to get into the same lift::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: "Something?"

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Something's going on around here between the Captain and the Counselor methinks...::

XO_Rofax says:
CO: A great deal actually Captain.  Some recent damage as well as some rather old damage.  Attempting to isolate and date the energy signatures now.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  It wasn't there long enough to identify.

CIV_Brock says:
::Gets to a TL and he summons it.::

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: I think we have to go in, sedate him

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks LRS::

CNS_Luchena says:
::decides to stop in at Sickbay for a visit with Shiar on his way to the bridge::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: the lights in the ship flicker momentarily and the turbo lift stops in between floors.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns:: OPS: Maintain non-alert status, but keep your finger on the alert button.

CIV_Brock says:
::Enters the TL.:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_Luchena says:
::leaves his office as the lights flicker.  Briefly looks up then continues down the corridor::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::stands down yellow alert as ordered but is ready to initiate it again::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks up at the lights:: *ENGINEERING*: What's going on down there NOW?

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> CMO: you always think we have to go in. sometime I think you enjoy messing with people's insides  :: sedates the Klingon::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The lift is not moving.

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: that's because I do  :: gets to work with medical tools and sub zero gloves::

CNS_Luchena says:
::walks into sickbay and sees Shiar and his assistant hovered over a biobed::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Dammit! ::Pounds the wall.::

Jarnok says:
::grunts and attempts to open eyes:: Self: This is Stovokor?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, one of the TLs is stuck between decks.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tentatively approaches to see what's going on::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The wall remains unmoved.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: suddenly turns waiving a laser scalpel:: CNS: ah!

Host She-Devil says:
Action: the Klingon goes into cardiac arrest.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, there are multiple residual patterns on the shuttle, possibly Orion, but far too much recent damage to positively identify.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Get a repair detail to it...and find out why engineering isn't answering comms. ::mutters something under her breath about the ship falling apart::

CNS_Luchena says:
::jumps back as the scalpel waves in front of his face::

CIV_Brock says:
::Opens the Tl's Control panel and starts fiddling around.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I'm reading one person in the lift ... it's the CIV.  ::sends a request to Engineering to get the lift fixed::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: turns again:: SELF: AHH   :: grabs electric paddles::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  What's going on?  ::looks down at the figure on the biobed::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The ship is NOT falling apart, but she is moody.

CIV_Brock says:
Self: I won't get stuck in one of these...

Jarnok says:
::eyes roll back in head::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*ENG*:  Bridge to Engineering.

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CIV gets a slight electrical zap.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: he's going into cardiac arrest so I’m going to shock him

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Ouch!

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps back::

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  What's going on?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: rubs the paddles together:: ALL: clear!   :: charges the Klingon::

CIV_Brock says:
::Closes the panel and starts pacing.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the Klingon a little more closely::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The Klingon's heart restarts.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: there we go

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head and wonders what is going on in Engineering::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  He looks peaceful and happy.  Isn't that odd under the circumstances?

XO_Rofax says:
*CNS*  We've lost the Klingon's shuttle in an explosion.  Hard to tell who inflicted the most damage to it, but there has been a great deal of recent weapons fire.  How is our patient?

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Should I message the bridge? Nah, they're probably on it.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain!  The blip is back ... ::watches:: CO:  Now it's gone again.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: That's damned peculiar....

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: normally but you know what Klingons are like...   :: keeps working::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Sensor glitch?

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  He was in arrest but Shiar brought him back.  He looks peaceful.  He feels peaceful....  ::voice drifts off::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to get an identity on the blip but it's too brief for an identification::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: so, what can I do for you?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: OPS: Yellow alert.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::initiates yellow alert again::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I was just in a session when the alert went off.   I was wondering what was going on.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Still no identity, Sir.  It's not there long enough for sensors to identify it.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: I don't believe so Captain.  It's almost as if there is too much information to separate it all.  ::continues scanning, hoping to recover some flight data or sensor stuff::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: saves the Klingon's life and closes up using a dermal regenerator:: CNS: not much, just this Klingon

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Was the blip in the same place as last time?

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  He came from a shuttle?

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: yes, it was badly damaged

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The Klingon begins to regain consciousness.

Jarnok says:
::blinks::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Damaged?  He had been attacked?  ::notices the Klingon stirring::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  They're back.  Three of them this time.  Darn, gone again! ::watches her screen::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Screw it. ::Taps combadge:: *Bridge*: Um, yeah, I'm stuck in a turbolift...

Jarnok says:
::grunts::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I don't know

CNS_Luchena says:
Jarnok:  Can you speak?  What attacked you?

XO_Rofax says:
CO: I'm afraid the majority of our answers lie with our patient.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: turns and grunts back::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CIV*:  Ens, this is Lt Pettigrove.  We are aware you are there.  Just hold tight.  Engineering is on the way.

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  I think he's coming around.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Are they in the same location each time?

Jarnok says:
::launches his hand forward and grabs the CMO by the throat::

Jarnok says:
::squeezes hard::

Jarnok says:
CMO: No !!!!!!!!!!!! I am supposed to be dead !

CNS_Luchena says:
::rushes forward to remove the Klingon's hand from the CMO's throat::

CIV_Brock says:
::Sighs.::

XO_Rofax says:
*CNS* Wonderful.  How is his... ::pauses for the right word::  disposition?

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> :: grabs the Klingon's arm::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks all previous scans:: CO:  No, Sir.  Last contact was 2 meters closer than the other two.

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CMO turns blue.

CNS_Luchena says:
*Security*:  Team to Sickbay.  Now!

CMO_Shiar says:
Jarnok: let go and I can help you with that

XO_Rofax says:
<SEC  Team>  ::rushes forward to help out as they were already there::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Only two meters? Do a focus scan on that location, radius 1 km.

Jarnok says:
::growls and throws the CMO to the other side of sickbay::

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  He's trying to kill the CMO!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods and runs the scan::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CIV's TL seems to slip down slightly.

CNS_Luchena says:
Jarnok:  What happened?  Who tried to kill you?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::perks up hearing that:: XO: What's security doing, eating popcorn?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: crashes into a biobed::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Focus Scan initiated.

XO_Rofax says:
<SEC  Team>  Klingon:  Stand Down!!  ::charges their phasers to Heavy Stun::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: What was THAT? This thing isn't falling is it...

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands well back from the Klingon::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CMO has a broken jaw.

Jarnok says:
All: You ignorant Topas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNS_Luchena says:
::doesn't know what that means but figures its rude::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> Jarnock: are you crazy!? we just saved your life and you attack us!

XO_Rofax says:
CO: If they aren't already there, they'll be on the first transport back to Space Dock....

CNS_Luchena says:
Jarnok:  What was supposed to happen?

Jarnok says:
::screams a piercing scream louder than anything they have heard before::

Jarnok says:
CNS: I was supposed to die you ignorant p'taq !

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The security team doesn't know what to do.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks to see what her scans tell her::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: when I get up I’m going to punch that Klingon right in that ugly face of hi... damn that hurts::

XO_Rofax says:
<SEC  Team>  ::nervously point many charged phasers at the Klingon wondering what to do::

CNS_Luchena says:
*OPS*:  Jordan... please help by transporting this Klingon in sickbay to the brig.  ::sounds a bit frantic::

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Permission to head down Captain?

Jarnok says:
::sits up on the biobed and looks around::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::grumbles:: XO: Denied. You have the bridge.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::locks onto the Klingon:: CNS:  Ready to transport.  ::transports the Klingon to the brig::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::heads to the nearest working TL and heads for sickbay::

Jarnok says:
All: I was supposed to die. YOU will help me accomplish that.. NOW !

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  The Klingon has been moved to the brig.

CNS_Luchena says:
::runs out the door and heads for a TL::

XO_Rofax says:
::strides to the Center of the bridge and DOES NOT sit the sure to be beeping chair::

CIV_Brock says:
::Senses extreme anger from Sickbay.:: Self: I guess they have their own problems..

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The Klingon arrives in the brig.

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: he broke my jaw!

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters TL::

Jarnok says:
::arrives in the brig and begins to scream and bellow like a banshee::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> :: grabs a bone healer thing and fixes Shiar's jaw::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: the CMO's jaw clicks out of place.....he cannot speak anymore.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Focus Scan inconclusive Sir.  It told me nothing we didn't already know.

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Captain.. our guest is now located in the Brig.

CNS_Luchena says:
::just about slams into Kerina as he rushes in::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Oops sorry.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Oh?..oof!

Host She-Devil says:
Action: the turbolift slips down two feet, knocking the CIV to the floor.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets up and sits on a biobed as Nick deals with things::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: I'm dead.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::gives the CNS "a look", then exits for the brig::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Were we able to gather any information from the Klingon's shuttle?

XO_Rofax says:
*CO*  Captain?  ::waits to find out the remainder of her sentence::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Not before it blew, Sir.  All I can tell you was that the shuttle was very old ... as was its passenger.

CNS_Luchena says:
::follows the CO::  CO:  The Klingon implied he wanted to die and we screwed it up.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Errr...carry on, commander.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: CNS: Oh, great.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  Please dispatch a medic to the brig.

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: I imagine it was a ritualistic form of self-sacrifice.  I have a hunch, this Klingon may have been our 'pirate.'

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  He was really really angry... even for a Klingon.

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> CMO: this looks out of place, I’m going to have to go in :: grins::

Jarnok says:
::sighs and lays down on the bunk::

CNS_Luchena says:
::runs a bit to keep up with her::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  One other thing Commander.  It was badly damaged.  It looked like it might have been fired upon.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  What about the other three contacts I have?

CMO_Shiar says:
*CNS*: mmmnph rgjysghf

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles:: CNS: Well, this should be fun then. ::enters the brig, wincing at the noise::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: I wonder if this thing has slipped down enough so that I can open the door...

CNS_Luchena says:
::follows her in::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs as he stops screaming, and steps up to the field::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: I noticed.  I think this Klingon is responsible for the majority of them.  Try to hail them once again, all frequencies....

CMO_Shiar says:
<DR. Nick> :: works on Shiar::

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps up beside her.  Hasn't been this close to Kerina in some time::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks skeptical but tries to hail on all frequencies anyway::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at the Klingon for a moment:: Jarnok: I don't suppose you can explain your age, can you?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I have them again!  Attempting to get identification now.  ::runs scans through the computer::

CNS_Luchena says:
Thinks to self:  Explain his age?  ::looks more closely at the Klingon::

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  I'll take that as a yes.

Jarnok says:
::covers his eyes with his arm:: CO: I am an old Klingon who cannot die with honor. What do you wish for an explanation?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No response to hails so far, Sir.

XO_Rofax says:
::more to himself than anyone else::  OPS: Klingons are very particular about death.... "must be honorable".... I didn't realize unprovoked attacks had become honorable....  ::pauses and changes thoughts::  Distance to contact?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir I have an identification.  The ships are Orion ...

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Fabulous....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I've just never heard of a Klingon living so long. 205 is an incredible age.

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Captain, Orion ships confirmed in the area.

CNS_Luchena says:
::is basking in the essence::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Agreed.  They are on the very edge of sensor range ... distance ::does the calculation::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Understood. Red alert at your discretion.

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Aye Captain.

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> :: finishes fixing Shiar's jaw and brings him round::  CMO: don't talk yet.

Jarnok says:
::shakes head and keeps his eyes covered:: CO: Because you ignorant human most Klingons get to die honorably before getting my age.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: points out of door and heads out::

CNS_Luchena says:
::is indignant at the insult::  Jarnok:  Watch your mouth.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::raises a halting hand at Mikal:: Jarnok. Who fired at you?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: enters TL: brig SELF: god that hurts

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath and tries to calm himself::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Three Orion ships you say?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, the CIV is still stuck in the TL ... permission to beam him out?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: XO:  Confirmed.  Three ships on the very edge of sensor range.

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Please do.

Jarnok says:
CO: No one FIRED at me that I did not provoke first...   I simply wished to rid this quadrant of some Orion P'taq.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::locks onto the CIV and beams him onto the bridge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Jarnok: You do realize that not everyone in this area is Orion?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: walks out of a TL and into the brig::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, the ships are 30,000km distant.  They are heavily armoured.

CIV_Brock says:
::Materializes onto the bridge and takes his station.::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Contact the Orions and ask if they need any assistance.  Tell them we have reason to believe they were attacked without reason.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::hails the Orions::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Check the attack records we've been sent...does it look like they were all fired upon by that Klingon shuttle?

Jarnok says:
::sighs:: CO: I only shoot at targets that can fire back. Now send me to my ship and let my go rid this quadrant of the Orions and die with honor.

CMO_Shiar says:
Jarnok: if this forcefield wasn't in the way...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles:: Jarnok: I'd love to, except you don't have a ship.

Jarnok says:
CO: I am a many time decorated hero. I have lived so long because of my skills as a warrior. I shall succeed in taking many Orions with me

CNS_Luchena says:
::Hadn't noticed Shiar walk in::  CMO:  Are you all right?

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* We are working on that scenario now Captain.  ::taps on the armrest some more::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns at the CMO:: CMO: You're a bit far from sickbay, aren't you?

Host She-Devil says:
.Action: The Orions do not respond.

CIV_Brock says:
XO: Anything I can do, sir?

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: he broke my jaw. CO: I was asked to come down here

Jarnok says:
::removes his arm over his eyes:: CO: My ship.. of course... Very well you shall give me one to accomplish my mission then. ::stands::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I requested a medic in case the Klingon wasn't totally recovered.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CMO: Why? Is he ::gestures at the Klingon:: still injured?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No response to hails.  They either cannot respond or they do not wish to respond.

XO_Rofax says:
*CO*  / OPS :  It would appear that all of the attacked ships were, in fact, two Orion trade ships and a pleasure craft.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Ahh....

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Why don't we disarm his ship and let him go to it?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Because his ship exploded.

XO_Rofax says:
CIV: Man the Tactical Console for the time being.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Oh.

CMO_Shiar says:
CO: no, but lower the forcefield for a second and I could change that... sir

CNS_Luchena says:
::really would like to let the old duffer die with honour::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CMO: That's out of line, doctor. Maybe you should return to sickbay.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: calms down a bit:: CO: sorry sir

CIV_Brock says:
::Takes Tactical, but he has little idea what he is doing.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I'm not getting any registration on these ships ...

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Bring us to a halt.  Tell them we have captured the party responsible for the attacks on their vessels.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: turns and goes back into the TL::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  You're still pumped up from the fight.  ::grins at Shiar as he walks away::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::brings the ship to all stop and sends the message to the Orions::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CMO's jaw is slipping slightly...perhaps Dr. Nick isn't a very good doctor after all?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: Counselor, could you excuse us for a moment?

Jarnok says:
::laughs:: CMO: Puny human heeler... I have killed many for less.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks stricken::  CO:  Certainly.  ::turns and sadly walks away::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::turns:: XO:  Sir, why would trade ships be so heavily armoured?  unless they're carrying something they're not supposed to be carrying ... ::lets the thought taper off::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::waits until only herself and the Klingon are in the brig::

CNS_Luchena says:
::leaves the brig and waits in the corridor::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Let's see: weapons, shields, internal security net...

CMO_Shiar says:
:: waits in TL silently::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Jarnok: What are you more interested in...dying, or fighting?

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: They're Orion.  It comes with the territory, but the fact they are unresponsive and this heavily armed concerns me.

CIV_Brock says:
::Starts tapping the console...trying not to blow up anything.::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CIV accidentally launches a torpedo.

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks about Kerina and how she still has it... possibly she even has more of it now::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Oops...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  And the fact they have no registration ... this smells of pirates, Sir.

XO_Rofax says:
CIV: What did you do?!?!?

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if she's taken a lover recently::

Jarnok says:
CO: You know nothing of Klingon culture or you would not be asking that.

XO_Rofax says:
ALL:  Red Alert!!

CNS_Luchena says:
::envies whoever it is if she did::

CIV_Brock says:
XO: I think I launched a torpedo...

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The torpedo is heading straight for the Orion ships.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::initiates Red Alert ... sirens and all::

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices the red alert::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Detonate that torpedo!

CIV_Brock says:
::Spies the viewscreen:: Self: That can't be good...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles:: Jarnok: Or I know just enough TO ask. ::frowns at the alert:: *XO*: What's going on up there?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir.  Our torpedo is heading directly for the Orions!  ::sends the detonation code::

XO_Rofax says:
CIV: You are relieved of duty.  ::points to the Turbolift::

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Captain, we may have a problem.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if he should report to his station, then wonders what his station is::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Elaborate.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::arms phasers and fires them at the torpedo::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: the Orions see the torpedo and raise shields.......they also form an attack pattern.

CIV_Brock says:
XO: What!? I'm not a tactical officer! Why did you put me here?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Self:  Uh oh ... ::watches the screen::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The torpedo detonates.

CNS_Luchena says:
::decides to wait for Kerina::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries willing the TL back to sickbay::

CIV_Brock says:
::Starts leaving the bridge, but waits for an answer.::

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Ensign Brock accidentally launched a torpedo.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Torpedo destroyed.  But the Orions ...

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Get us out of here.  Warp 6.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: *XO*: And the results...?

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The CMO arrives in sickbay.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye Sir!  ::gets us out of there at warp 6::

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* It has been destroyed, but three Orion vessels are closing....

Jarnok says:
::decides to finally look at his "captors" CO: Captain...give me a ship... a shuttle... a barge.. I do not care... let me go out there and die honorably ::points::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: is impressed and walks into sickbay::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  They're arming weapons.

CIV_Brock says:
::Leaves the bridge.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes the Klingon warrior and shakes her head before heading to the console::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Shall I lock weapons?

XO_Rofax says:
::looks to the CIV and glares::  CIV: You are a Starfleet Officer, not a Pleasure Ship guide.  Get off my bridge.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::presses a few controls, then lowers the force field::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Jarnok: You understand that "stealing" a Federation shuttle is a serious offense?

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Not yet.  Re-route all available power to aft shields.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: goes and lies down::

CNS_Luchena says:
::decides to head to the bridge.  Enters nearby TL::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::re-routes all emergency power to aft shields::

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The Orion ships are closing in.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Emergency power diverted.  Shields now at 120%.

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Open a channel.

Jarnok says:
::looks at the Captain and folds his arms over his chest:: CO: No punishment can compare to living

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Did you notify the Orions that it was an accident?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::opens hailing frequencies:: XO:  Channel open.

CNS_Luchena says:
::emerges onto the bridge::

Host She-Devil says:
Action: The Orion ships break their pattern and are coming in from three different directions.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Jarnok: I thought you'd feel that way.

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels the tension instantly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, they're coming in on us from three different directions ...

Jarnok says:
::stares at the Captain::

XO_Rofax says:
COMM: Orions: This is Commander Pindari Rofax of the Federation Starship Pendragon.  Stand down.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::transports Jarnok into a live shuttle and opens the bay doors.

Host She-Devil says:
