Host Cat says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::on the bridge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::strolling down the hall, happy to have escaped the H'fltz, and to have shoved off the duty of fulfilling their whims and keeping them happy to the XO::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: on the bridge not doing much::

CNS_Luchena says:
::following Kerina::  CO:  Now what Captain?  Visit the Macoo?

Host Cat says:
Action: The H'fltz are demanding their quarters be improved immediately.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the latest request from the H'fltz delegation and sighs::

XO_Rofax says:
::feels suddenly and unexpectedly sick to his stomach::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: CNS: Then we can decide how to handle the first meeting.

Host Cat says:
<Regala> *OPS*: I demand that your superior officer come to my quarters immediately!

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods and picks up the pace to keep up with Kerina's long stride::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: What of their requests seem reasonable to fulfill?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, the H'fltz are demanding their quarters be upgraded immediately.  They're also demanding that my superior officer go to their quarters ... right now ...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  The temperature is no problem ... ::shakes her head:: XO:  Sir, I think that no matter what we do it isn't going to be good enough ...

CMO_Shiar says:
:: scans the 2 sets of guests on the quiet as ordered::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Upgrading a VIP suite?   That will be interesting.... notify them I am on my way.  I will see what can be done.  You have the bridge.  ::exits to the TL::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::arrives at the Macoo's door and presses the chime::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander ... I'm getting reports of a possible bombing raid on the H'fltz ... ship responsible unknown.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stops and waits by the CO::

Host Tailea says:
Action: A throaty voice bids them to enter.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I'll check sensor logs and see if we detected anything ...

CNS_Luchena says:
::recalls the woman he saw on the screen::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::enters::

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath and follows the CO in::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::meets every stare inside::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks the sensor logs of activity in the system::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Explain to them, we will need to delay the upgrades.  Confirm what you can about that suspected vessel.

Host Tailea says:
Action: The room has been transformed into a hedonistic silk covered lair.......

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks around the room in admiration::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.   Should I inform the Captain?

Host Tailea says:
Action: On every couch lies a beautiful feline covered with silky fur and jeweled clothing.

XO_Rofax says:
::nods to OPS::  OPS: If we can confirm an attack, set an intercept course.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::approaches the most ornately decorated Macoo::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Bridge to Captain.  Sir, are you free to speak?

Host Tailea says:
Action: Tailea stretches with a purr.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Tailea::

Host Tailea says:
Action: She and the other Macoo are eyeing the two officers as if they were prey.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*OPS*: I'm with our guests at the moment.

CNS_Luchena says:
:: eyes the cats right back, each in turn::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::returns a healthy, predatory stare back at the others::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Sir, we've been receiving some disturbing reports.  I think you need to hear this.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: *OPS*: What is it?

Host Tailea says:
Action: Regala, unhappy with being ignored, leaves his quarters and sets out to find the bridge.

CNS_Luchena says:
::suddenly realizes how similar these creatures are to Kerina::

XO_Rofax says:
*CTO* Cmdr, we need your assistance on the bridge.

Host Tailea says:
CO: Captain....how nice of you to join us......how are our feather friends doing?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  There are reports of a bombing attack on the H'fltz ... We're trying to determine who was responsible.

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: On my way XO

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: A pleasure to meet you in person. They're doing about as one would expect.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*OPS*: Understood.

Host Tailea says:
Action: Regala is now somewhere in the bowels of the ship....who knows where?

CTO_Hull says:
<TO Smythe> Get those phasers charged and make sure all tricorders and away mission items are ready

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I'd better go and find out exactly what the H'fltz want for the "improvements" they asked for ...

CMO_Shiar says:
:: reads the latest report from sickbay::

Host Tailea says:
::grins:: CO: Complaining as usual, huh? And who is this tasty morsel? ::eyes Mikal::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Tailea's golden eyes::

CTO_Hull says:
::Hull turns without waiting for a nod and heads for the nearest TL::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Agreed.  Please do what you can within reason.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: This is my counselor and advisor, Commander Luchena.

CTO_Hull says:
::Enters the TL and heads for the bridge::

Host Tailea says:
Action: Regala's guards, not having been told his limitations follow at a distance.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::turns over OPS to a subordinate and leaves the bridge ....... heading for the H'fltz quarters::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at Tailea without breaking eye contact::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: Is there anything we can do to make your accommodations more comfortable?

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels like a deer caught in headlights::

CTO_Hull says:
::The doors open and Hull enters the Bridge:: XO: Commander, what is that you need?

Host Tailea says:
Action: One of the male Macoos comes over and rubs against Kerina.

XO_Rofax says:
::tries to confirm whatever he can about this mystery ship::

Host Tailea says:
CO: Do you have any hunt available?

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: do you need any help?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::manages to smile at the Macoo...but not TOO warmly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::reaches the VIP quarters of the H'fltz and rings the chime::

Host Tailea says:
Action: The male Macoos tail twitches in delight.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::muses:: Tailea: Not at the moment, but we could arrange something for you on the holodeck if you like.

CNS_Luchena says:
::slowly breaks off eye contact and looks at Kerina::

XO_Rofax says:
CTO: There have been reports of an unconfirmed attack on the H'fltz.  Get whatever you can on it.

CTO_Hull says:
XO: Aye!

Host Tailea says:
Action: The security team is a little too far back and Regala turns a corner and fades from sight, for just a brief second.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the male Macoo and smiles slightly::

CTO_Hull says:
::heads for his tactical console, logs in and begins going over the sensor logs::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::puzzled that she gets no answer rings the chime again::

Host Tailea says:
Action: The temperature is rising in the room.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::is also puzzled that the security detail is nowhere in sight::

Host Tailea says:
Action: The door to the H'fltz room opens.

XO_Rofax says:
CMO: Doctor, have we been able to determine a medical reason why the sudden rise in birth mortality rates?  It is something genetic, or is this a result of the ongoing conflict.  I need something solid.  A piece to bargain with, so-to-speak.

Host Tailea says:
Action: Inside the H'fltz room is death and destruction....there are blood and feathers everywhere.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: If you'll give the specifications to my XO, we should be able to arrange an acceptable "hunt" for you.

Host Tailea says:
::smiles:: CO: Live fowl would be nice.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::enters and looks startled ... Self:  Oh no ...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CTO*:  Pettigrove to Hull.  I need you in the H'fltz quarters immediately.  We have a problem ...

Host Tailea says:
Action: Another male Macoo rubs against Kerina a bit too friendly.

CNS_Luchena says:
::recalls his sister's hunting holo programs and wonders if they are still on board::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CTO*:  And get medical down here on the double!

CTO_Hull says:
*OPS*: I'm on my way

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::pushes the second male slightly away with a scowl::

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: I’ll look into it

CTO_Hull says:
*CMO*: Medical Emergency in the H'fitz quarters

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Pettigrove to Rofax.  Sir, we have a problem in the H'fltz quarters ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: I'm afraid we don't have "real" fowl, but we can simulate them well enough that you won't be able to tell the difference.

Host Tailea says:
Action: The fur on Tailea's neck rises slightly.

CTO_Hull says:
*<Security>* Report immediately to the H'fitz quarters

Host Tailea says:
CO: You insult my mates?

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: or not...    :: gets up and enters the tl::  TL: H'fitz room

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices a slight rise in tension from Tailea::

Host Tailea says:
Action: Regala is gone.

CTO_Hull says:
::Logs out of the console and heads for the TL::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::the hair on the back of her neck raises slightly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::waits for the security detail to arrive::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: Not by any means. But I am spoken for.

XO_Rofax says:
*OPS* What is it?  ::dispatches an extra security team to the quarters::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets off the tl and goes to the room::

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: what's the problem?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  The H'fltz delegation .... some sort of attack.  They're dead, Sir.  And there's no sign of Regala or the security team assigned to their quarters.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Kerina briefly then stares at the male Macoo::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::turns:: CMO:  Look for yourself.  ::motions inside::

Host Tailea says:
::glances at Mikal:: CO: This....male....is your mate?

XO_Rofax says:
*OPS* Understood.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: He is not. My...mate...is not on board.

CNS_Luchena says:
::just barely manages to suppress a laugh::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: goes inside and has a look::   OPS: I’ll try to do something but it doesn't look good

XO_Rofax says:
CPU: Computer, lock down all transporter pads and run a continual Level 1 personnel sweep.

CTO_Hull says:
::Hull arrives at the H'fitz quarters, nods at OPS and takes an assessment of what has occurred, he begins a tricorder sweep of the room::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: takes out tricorder and scans the bodies::

Host Tailea says:
::calms slightly as she eyes Kerina::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CMO:  I doubt there's anything anyone could do for them now.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::gets a distant look in her eyes for a moment...but only a moment after seeming to "shake it off" and looking mildly confused::

Host Tailea says:
CO: Then this one is free to mate?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods back to the CTO:: CTO:  I can only see two bodies here .... where's the third?

CNS_Luchena says:
::swallows::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: I do not speak for him on that...only he can.

CTO_Hull says:
*CO/XO*: Captain, and XO, there is a transporter trace left here in the room...I believe there was an unauthorized transport

Host Tailea says:
::eyes Mikal hungrily::

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: there's nothing I can do here

XO_Rofax says:
::Barks various orders around the bridge to the staff remaining and locking down every access point to the VIP deck::

CNS_Luchena says:
::is entranced::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  We may need to autopsy ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::wonders why she keeps getting comms at this particular time:: *CTO/XO*: Track it down.

XO_Rofax says:
*CTO* Where to?  ::taps into the ship’s sensor grid and begins scanning frantically::

Host Tailea says:
::glances at Kerina:: CO: So you refuse to share my gifts?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: I can't refuse that of which I am not aware.

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  We also have the problem that one of the H'fltz delegation appears to be missing.  I would suggest an internal sensor sweep.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: it seems like the obvious action to be taken

Host Tailea says:
Action: The security team assigned to Regala is found dead in the same corridor from which he disappeared. They seem to have been.....eaten.

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: Off the ship, coordinates are unknown. We have one of the H'fitz delegation unaccounted for, suggest you conduct an internal and external sensor sweep

XO_Rofax says:
*CTO* A level one sweep is in progress.  Who are we missing?

Host Tailea says:
CO: I offered you my mates.

CTO_Hull says:
OPS: Mr. Pettigrove, You know which of the delegates it is?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CTO:  Their leader, Regala.

Host Tailea says:
CO: As I wish to share yours....... ::smiles at Mikal::

CNS_Luchena says:
Tailea:  This is not our custom.

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: It is the delegation leader

XO_Rofax says:
*CTO* Odd, I've got something.  The transport was to the Macoo surface.  I think we have a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::raises and eyebrow and matches Tailea's stare::

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: Fits the bill Commander

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::gets the report of the dead security officers::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: The intent behind the gesture is appreciated...but our custom is very different.

Host Tailea says:
CNS: It is OUR custom.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  We also need to find out what happened to the assigned security.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: someone should inform the CO about this, don't you think?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  I'll do that.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: And for the sake of peace, sometimes custom must be flexible. ::raises and eyebrow and stands a little taller, a little straighter::

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: Apparently, the security detachment have been murdered as well Commander, we are hip deep in intrigue and murder

CNS_Luchena says:
Tailea:  Please try to understand our thinking.  We believe in free choice... thus we cannot accept a sentient being's services as a gift

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: ok, I’ll go back to sickbay and prepare the autopsies

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::turns away from the scene in front of her and makes for the door::

XO_Rofax says:
*OPS / CTO* Have a team gather what they can from the scene and lock access to the quarters until further notice.  We have a situation.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: This is a VERY small adjustment to make compared to what will be necessary to reach an agreement with the H'fltz.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods as Kerina speaks::

Host Tailea says:
::smiles and licks her lips:: CO: Perhaps you would rather share together?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: heads to a tl:: tl: sickbay

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Sir, I'm on my way to fill in the Captain now.

XO_Rofax says:
OPS_On_Duty:  Yellow Alert.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean.

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: Aye Commander, full crime scene security...understood!

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks its getting entirely too hot in here::

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: could I please have the dead beamed to sickbay for autopsies

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks up at the sound of the alert::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::heads for the Macoo quarters::

XO_Rofax says:
*CMO* Once the investigative team records what they need, they are all yours Doctor.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::arrives just as the yellow alert sounds::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Tailea: I'm afraid we'll have to finish this later. Make yourselves comfortable, but you'll understand if you must remain here....for your own safety.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I could stay with them Captain.

Host Tailea says:
::grins:: CNS: I am tired. ::waves a lazy hand:: Come back later.

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: thank you sir, I’ll be in sickbay if needed

CTO_Hull says:
<TO Jones>: Get visual and sample evidence, I want a full scan of the quarters, fingerprints, DNA ...the works, place the delegates and our comrades into stasis, full autopsy by medical

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps off the tl and heads to sickbay::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at Tailea then winks::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CO with a look that says "you are not going to like this::

XO_Rofax says:
COMM: H'fltz: This is Cmdr Rofax.  What can I do for you?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::bids the Macoo a nice, diplomatic farewell and leaves::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain?  We have a problem.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Now what?

Host Tailea says:
Action: Peck'r appears on screen.

CNS_Luchena says:
::attends to Jordan::

Host Tailea says:
<Peck’r>COMM: Pendragon: I demand to speak to the delegation immediately!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  It seems the Macoo managed to get an operative into the H'fltz delegation.  We found the delegation dead, along with the security assigned to them.  An unauthorized beam out was recorded ... the attacker materialized on the Macoo  home world.

XO_Rofax says:
::suppresses a shudder::  COMM: I'm afraid that is not possible.  And quite frankly, I believe we are due an explanation.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks confused::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: How in the nine levels of Hell did a Macoo pass off as a H'fltz??

Host Tailea says:
<Peck'r> ::gets very ruffled:: COM:Pen: I DEMAND they be put on immediately. HOW DARE YOU REFUSE?

CTO_Hull says:
<Security Jones>: Secure this quarters and post two security officers, no one gets in

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head:: CO:  Unknown, Sir.  But we have launched an investigation into the incident.  Dr Shiar will perform autopsies once the room has been secured and the bodies released from the scene.  But it looks as though they were eaten ... or hunted.

XO_Rofax says:
::remains calm::  COMM: Peck: What do you know about Regala?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Assign a different medical detail. If Shiar's scans couldn't tell a Macoo from a H'fltz when they came on board, I'm not sure I'd trust his autopsy.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: And were OUR transporters used, or another ship's?

Host Tailea says:
<Peck'r> COM: Pen: What have you done to them? This is an ACT OF WAR!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  That we won't know until the investigation has concluded.

XO_Rofax says:
COMM: Peck: Regala appears to have attacked the remainder of your delegates and has disappeared.  I believe you have been duped.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CMO*:  Pettigrove to Shiar.  I'm on my way down.  Hold on the autopsies until I get there.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Keep me informed. Let the CMO know I'll want an explanation of how he managed such a grievous error, and the same goes for Mr. Hull.

Host Tailea says:
Action: Immediately, seven H'fltz fighters life off from the planet and head towards the Pendragon.

CMO_Shiar says:
*OPS*: aye sir

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks she's glad she's not the CMO or the CTO right now::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: CNS/OPS: I think we'd better get to the bridge.

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: prepare for an autopsy

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, I'm on my way to Sickbay.  I'll return to the bridge after calling in there.

Host Peck says:
::appears enraged:: COMM: Pendragon: You have allowed our delegates to be injured?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Right Captain.  ::arranges for a security team to guard the Macoos quarters::

XO_Rofax says:
*CTO* Please escort the Macoo to the brig for their safety.  We read an unstable wave of energy coming in and it's the safest place.

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: Aye

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::heads for Sickbay to notify Shiar::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: waits for Jordan::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: While you're at it, make their orders very clear. I don't want the Macoo leaving their quarters. Period. ::enters the lift::

Host Peck says:
Action: The H'fltz fighters form an attack pattern and are swooping in on the Pendragon.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::enters Sickbay:: CMO: Doctor?

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods and waits outside the Macoos quarters::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::exits the lift:: XO: Report!

XO_Rofax says:
COMM: Peck: Your delegates were all in the same room.  A security detail was placed OUTSIDE at your request.  We did not enter the quarters, respecting you customs.  Whatever happened was at the hands of Regala.

CTO_Hull says:
Macoo's: Sirs, if you would follow me to the security area, it is the safest part of the ship

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: hi, you wanted me to wait?

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  Safest part of the ship?  What's going on?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Yes.  I'm sorry but the Captain wants another medical team to handle the autopsies.   She also wants to know why you didn't detect that one of the H'fltz delegation was actually a Macoo.

CTO_Hull says:
CNS: Perhaps our peace treaty efforts are failing, I sense the H'fitz will be attacking

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: what?

Host Peck says:
::spits:: COM: Pen: You lie! You have joined the Macoos and will pay for this treachery!

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  You sense?  You’d better have a better reason.  The Macoo are not going to like the brig.

XO_Rofax says:
::mutes the COMM: CO: Captain.  We have two dead security guards and a Transport to the Macoo surface.  Another attack has occurred against the H'fltz home world.  Transporter logs clearly identify the transportee as H'fltz, Regala.  Now, seven attack fighters are moving in.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  I'm sorry, Kaleh, but they were her orders.

Host Tailea says:
::eyes the CTO hungrily::

Host Tailea says:
Action: The COM channel crashes closed.

CTO_Hull says:
::Hull and the Macoo arrive in the security area, better known to the crew as the Brig:: Macoo: Sirs if you would kindly enter the security area, we will be secure here

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: aye sir

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::rolls eyes:: XO: Red alert.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  I'm needed on the bridge.  Please let me know the minute the autopsies are finished.

Host Tailea says:
::Stops dead:: CTO: You are caging us, human?

XO_Rofax says:
COMM: Peck: The room has been sealed.  You will be allowed to investigate, if and only if, you stand down.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: looks extremely unhappy::  Dr. Nick: it's all yours

XO_Rofax says:
::motions to the OPS on Duty to go to Red Alert::

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  You'd best explain completely.  Otherwise you're in danger.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::leaves Sickbay and heads to the TL::

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: I will

CTO_Hull says:
Tailea: This whole area is secure, the inner rooms have the highest security

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Tailea::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: enters office and slams fist into desk::

Host Tailea says:
Action: Seven more H'fltz fighters lift off from the surface.::

CTO_Hull says:
Tailea: I am responsible for your safety, this is the best place that I can protect you

Host Tailea says:
Action: Tailea is outraged.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::arrives on the bridge and takes her console::

CNS_Luchena says:
Tailea:  Please  ::reaches out and lightly strokes her fur::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Put everything into shields, and get a channel open. Offer to let them send an investigative team of their own.

Host Tailea says:
CTO: You have insulted us irreparably, human. ::turns and hisses at Mikal::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick>:: starts autopsy::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  ::diverts power to the shields::

CNS_Luchena says:
::pulls his arm away::  Tailea:  I'm sorry for his rudeness.  He is thinking only of your protection.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COM: H'FLTZ:  H'fltz ships, this is the Pendragon.  Please stand down and we will allow you to send an investigative team onboard to conduct your own investigation.

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  Could you please confirm your orders.

CTO_Hull says:
Tailea: There is no time for diplomacy, I need to protect you, and I will if you cooperate

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Regala beamed to the Macoo surface.  However, all scans indicate H'fltz genetic code.  I think Regala was working both sides of the fence.

Host Tailea says:
::stiffens:: CNS: OUR protection? We are being caged to protect us from featherbrains?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Hmmm....

CTO_Hull says:
*XO*: Commander, the Macoos have taken insult to being placed into the "Security area" will you confirm

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::waits for a response but doesn't think she'll get one::

CNS_Luchena says:
Tailea:  I did not say he was right, only what he was thinking.  ::smiles::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Pass that tidbit on to the H'fltz.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*CMO*: Doctor, I stand corrected based on new information. Please proceed with the autopsy.

Host Tailea says:
Action: There are now fourteen fighters surrounding the Pendragon.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sends the H'fltz the information about Regala beaming to the Macoo home world and the confinement of the Macoo::

Host Tailea says:
Action: The Pendragon has her shields up.

XO_Rofax says:
*CTO* Very well.  Ask them to remain in quarters for the time being then.  We are going to be running into a great deal of interference.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: exits office and helps with autopsies::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Information sent, Sir.  I don't know how they're going to respond ...

CNS_Luchena says:
Tailea:  You can stay in your quarters.  May I keep you company?

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: hmm, according to this the H'fltz were suffering from a poison

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Ask them...? I ordered security to keep them in the VIP quarters.

CMO_Shiar says:
<Nick>: I’d have to agree with you on that

Host Tailea says:
::licks her lips and eyes Mikal hungrily::

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: the H'fltz were poisoned sir

Host Tailea says:
Action: The H'fltz are ignoring you.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::mumbles a Vulcan curse under her breath::
