“Here We Go Again, Pt 3)

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
SD - 10501.22

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
The Pendragon has caught up with a suspicious Ferengi freighter in hopes of tracking down their CO.  The Ferengis plead ignorance while Away Teams search for clues.  The CO has left some clues for them to track, but it will require a great deal more before he is found.

::on the bridge at her station::

FCO_White says:
@::On the Ferengi ship's bridge::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::In main engineering, running routine system reports::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::keeps a lock on the AT ready to beam them back at a minute's notice::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::shakes off the blurred visions of Tarr's stolen memories and tries to locate the secondary exit::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::sitting in the center chair, watching time go by::

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:   Time waits for no man

FCO_White says:
@*OPS*Transmitting the location of this ships last three stops. Now ::transmits the information from his tricorder::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::jumps as her console beeps ... checks it and finds the information:: *FCO*:  Got it.  Let me know when you are ready to beam back.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::opens the files and begins to read the information::

FCO_White says:
@*OPS*Ready now.  Beam the entire team back.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO:  Acknowledge.  Prepare for transport.

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: at Engineering One on the bridge, monitoring ship's systems ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Commander, the away team reports they are ready to beam back.

FCO_White says:
@Ferengi: I think we've seen enough.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::glances over his shoulder at Tarr's limp body and stumbles along the wall, looking for the secondary exit::  Self: It's here.... somewhere.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::beams the away team back to the Pendragon::

Host warp9 says:
@<Spork>  COMM: Pen:  Are you done with us yet?  ::grumbles about his cargo::

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  The AT is beamed directly to the bridge.

FCO_White says:
::arrives on the Pendragon bridge and heads for the helm station::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: Spork:  We will be done with you when we say we are done with you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: Spork:  And for the moment, we are not done with you.

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  The CTO reports finding traces of Rofax's DNA on a set of shackles in the cargo bay.

Host Spork says:
@::sighs::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Do you see any reason to detain the Ferengi any longer?

FCO_White says:
Ops: I think we have enough evidence to hold the entire crew.  We could easily take over the Ferengi ship and use it to infiltrate the last system they were in.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  What were their last stops?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::finds what appears to be a depression in the wall, a seam perhaps, and runs his fingers along it tracing the edge::

FCO_White says:
Ops: Of the last three the most likely is the eighth planet of the Omicromian Persei system.

Host Spork says:
ACTION:  The lights flicker briefly

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Ok.  Let's start there and work back.  Set course for the Omicromian Persei system.  I'll contact Starfleet and have them detain the vessel.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks up:: *CEO*:  Bridge to Engineering.

FCO_White says:
OPS: As you command. ::sets course:: Course laid in standing by.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::looks up as the lights flicker:: Not now.....

Host Spork says:
#ACTION:  A door pops open.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::jumps back somewhat startled and allows the door to swing open under its own momentum::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
*OPS*: Damien here. I'm on it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Are you guys doing anything to make the lights flicker around here ...

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::gets up and begins investigating the problem::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: turns :: OPS: Not that I'm aware of. Trying to track the cause now...   :: furious running systems checks ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Thanks.  ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::peers inside the door to see a lavish office in meticulous order::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Engage course to Omicromian Persei, maximum warp.

FCO_White says:
::engages the course at warp nine::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::Signals the Ferengi they can leave .. but also sends a message to Starfleet re the CO's disappearance::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
*CEO*: Commander, I've isolated the problem. It's the new anti-matter injectors. They just need a little adjustment

Host Spork says:
ACTION:  The lights flicker again as the warp drive engages.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Do we need to drop from warp?

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
*CEO*: I'm working on it now

FCO_White says:
OPS: Holding course at warp nine.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Thank you, Mr. White.  What's our ETA?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::moves to the desk and begins looking over what is there before moving onto the cabinets against the far wall::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: No. I'll bring one of our emergency fusion reactors online, and use it to handle some low-priority systems while Lt. Damien realigns the containment fields.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::checks the antimatter injector alignment, finds a small discrepancy and corrects it:: *CEO*: It should clear up momentarily.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Ok, Thanks Albaron.

FCO_White says:
OPS: We will be entering the system in nine minutes thirty seconds.

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: smiles over his shoulder at Jordan ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*EO*: Thank you, Jose.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::opens the first cabinet and see standard medical equipment, tricorders, hypos, and the like... moves onto the second to find it locked::

FCO_White says:
::continues plotting the course making small adjustments::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  What else did we find out from that Ferengi ship?

FCO_White says:
OPS: The team that searched the cargo bay reported that they were shipping venderite...they also said that they found traces of the captain's DNA.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::locates a laser scalpel in the first cabinet and makes short work of the lock on the second::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  We can confirm he was there ... but where did they take him ... and why?

FCO_White says:
Ops: Why dose a Ferengi do anything? Money.

FCO_White says:
All: Estimated Time of arrival is five minutes...

Host Spork says:
ACTION:  ETA is one minute.  How time flies, and waits for no man.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  When we reach the system drop us out of warp and put us in orbit of the 8th planet ...

Host Spork says:
#ACTION: The cabinet doors come open to reveal a cache of heavy psychotics, sedatives, and some unknown and unlabeled drugs.

FCO_White says:
::blinks and looks at the console:: All ETA is one minutes.  Dropping to impulse.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::reaches out:: ~~~ CO:  Captain? Can you hear me? ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::curses silently out of pure shock and then grabs a dose of Morpazine::

FCO_White says:
::Eases the ship into orbit of the system's eighth planet::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ~~~ ::waves unconsciously at his head, like something is buzzing around him::~~~

FCO_White says:
::tries to access the LCARS information on the 'Federation' facility::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain, it's Jordan .. ~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::opens her eyes ... begins full sensor scans of the planet::

FCO_White says:
Ops: There is a federation facility for the mentally ill on the planet.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
#  ::stumbles his way back into the Blue Room and slaps the does into the hypo he grabbed before plunging it into Tarr's neck::  Self: Enjoy your nap you filthy bugger....   ::notes the time and guesses he has three hours::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Albaron ... I can't get the sensors working properly ...

Host Dr_Tarr says:
#::eyelids flutter::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: moves over to the Panel Jordan is working at ::  OPS: What's the problem?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I don't know ... I'm trying to scan the planet ... ::attempts to scan again::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::wearily moves to the main entry and checks once again to be sure it is was locked::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I'm trying to scan for Ullian life signs ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Let's simplify. Try scanning just for humanoid life signs.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head and runs a diagnostic on the scanners::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::heads back into the office and shuts the secret door behind him::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Trying now.  ::scans for humanoid life signs::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: moves to a nearby LCARS panel and calls up a profile on the planet ::

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#COMM:  Pendragon:  Identify yourself please.

FCO_White says:
::accesses the federation archives for the facility’s construction information especially looking for location::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::sits down at the desk and collapses into the chair::   ~~~ ::weakly:: ALL: ...help...~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: Ratchet:  This is the Federation Starship Pendragon.  I am LtCmdr Jordan Pettigrove, temporarily in command.

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Give it up, Jordan. The planet's atmosphere is choking in actinides. Ship's sensors will be useless.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::senses something familiar:: ~~~ CO:  Captain? ~~~

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#COMM:  OPS:  The purpose of your visit?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  What about transporters?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ~~~ OPS: Jordan? ~~~  ::thinks the drugs are still messing with him::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: Ratchet:  We are searching for someone.  We found traces of him on a Ferengi vessel that stopped here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain, It's me, Jordan.  We are in orbit.  ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: shakes head :: OPS: Out of the question. We won't be able to get a pattern lock.

FCO_White says:
Ops: You can’t transport where you can’t see...but I may be able to get around that.  ::continues looking for a floor plan of the building::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::hurriedly mutes the channel:: CEO:   The Captain is down there ... I can sense him ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Can you tell where he is?

FCO_White says:
Ops: Probably be a one way trip unless we took enhancers::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
#  ::eyes blink away some of the fog and sits upright::  Self: No!  Do not fall asleep again....  ~~~::tries to ignore the voices in his head::~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Work on the enhancers ... I'll find out the Captain's location.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain, we need to know where you are ... We are going to attempt to use enhancers on the transporters to beam you up ~~~

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#COMM: OPS:  For whom are you searching?

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*EO*: Jose... please ready four pattern enhancers for deployment to the planet's surface.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::unmutes the channel::  COMM: Ratchet:  I am not at liberty to divulge that information at this time.  Is it possible for us to come down for a visit ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::places his hands on the keyboard to the desk console and the screen pops to life::  Self: That was too easy.....

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#COMM:  OPS:  We do not accept unauthorized visitors.  Have a nice day.  ::closes the channel::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
*CEO*: I'll have them ready

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ~~~ ::still hearing voices::  ALL: Go away. ~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain ... stay with me ... ~~~

FCO_White says:
::quickly scans through the information:: Ops: We should be able to beam down...unless they made modifications.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  But to where?

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::procures four patterns enhancers:: *CEO*: I'm bringing them to the transporter room now

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*EO*: Belay that, Jose. I don't think we're beaming down.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::shakes his head and spies something that catches his attention... an EVA suit in the corner::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::stops:: *CEO*: Aye. I'll have them standing by should you need them.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I agree.  We need another way.  Can we shuttle down to a point outside the facility and get in another way?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::looks at the wall of windows and notes that the windows have no means of opening::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Unless the Captain can bring down whatever shielding they use ... then we could beam down ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Shuttling down should be no problem. I'll check the security systems at the facility.

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#::tries to contact Dr. Tarr about the annoying ship, but can't reach him for some reason::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: goes back to Engineering One and checks the facility's construction records ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain ... We are coming to get you ... but first we need you to disable the facility's shielding ... ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::moves to the drug cabinet for a stimulant, but as he is unsure what he was given, smashes the cabinet door shut::  Self: Can't risk it....

FCO_White says:
::sends a message to the shuttlebay to prepare one of the shuttlecraft for use::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
#  ~~~ ::hears it again and tries to shake it off:: OPS: Stop it.  Whoever you are.~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain, it's Jordan ... remember ... ~~~  ::tries to probe deeper::

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#::contacts security to find Dr. Tarr::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ~~~ OPS: Jordan?  How did you find me? ~~~  ::moves to the computer and tries to access the system files::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO/FCO:  I don't think the Captain is going to be able to help us.  Study the facilities plans and try to find a way inside the facility that doesn't involve us getting caught.

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Jordan... the facility's force field only prevents beaming. We can fly right through it and land at the facility.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  We followed your "breadcrumbs" Sir.  We worked it out from there ... ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ~~~ OPS: Who  told you? ~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  In a way, you did, Sir. ~~~

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#ACTION:  The orderlies enter the blue room and find Dr. Tarr unconscious::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Starfleet found your shuttle and informed us.  We took it from there ~~~

FCO_White says:
Ops: I'll get a shuttle ready for a low observability mission. I'll be in the shuttlebay.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Thank you, Mr. White.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::finds a file system that contains the layout of the facility:: ~~~ OPS: Anyone could have found it.  Someone helped you.  What was her name? ~~~

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#::initiates a code fuchsia::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
#  ::locates a file containing transporter codes and looks for a comm system::

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#ACTION:  The facility is quickly locked down.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  I don't understand, Captain.  No one told us where you were ... We found the Ferengi vessel that brought you here and boarded it.  From information we obtained from that ship we are checking where they've been. ~~~

FCO_White says:
::accesses the transporter controls and site-to-site transports to the shuttlebay.::

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
ACTION:  White arrives in the shuttlebay

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO/*FCO*:  Recommendations for the away team?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ~~~ OPS: The password.  Her name.~~~  ::dangles his finger over the transmit button and waits to be sure::

FCO_White says:
::looks around:: All: Lets get to work, I need a shuttle ready and nice to go

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Do you mean Tria, Sir? ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: I volunteer to pilot the mission.

FCO_White says:
*OPS*:Your gonna need a pilot and tactical officers.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO*:  And I'm assuming you're going to volunteer to be our pilot ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::presses the transmit button and sends the transporter codes to the Pendragon before collapsing on the desk::  ~~~ OPS: ...yes...~~~

FCO_White says:
::finds the flight deck chief:: FDC_CPO_Skern’e: I want one of the type nines ready for a low observability mission.

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
ACTION:  The codes to the facility's transporters appear on OPS console

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::hears her console beep and checks:: Self:  Good boy ... CEO:  Looks like we're in business.  We've just received transporter codes ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::hits one final key and dumps everything he can from the facility database to transmit to the Pen before passing out::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Could we transport down using these?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain ... hold on, Sir ... we're coming ... ~~~

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#ACTION:  Facility security busts down the door into Dr. Tarr's office

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Hmmm... if we can get control of their transporter unit, I don't see why not.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  See what you can do.  We'll use the shuttle if you can't ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::would normally jump up armed with hypos and sharpened pencils, but doesn't as he is rather spent and sleepy::

Host Nurse_Ratchet says:
#ACTION:  The security guys can't quite believe their eyes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: works to get control of the planetside transporters ::

Host Security_Guy1 says:
#CO:  Hey!  What are you doing in here?!

FCO_White says:
::climbs into the shuttle and sets to work shutting down the systems::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::watches as more information appears on her system:: CEO:  This might help.  The Captain has managed to send through more information from the facility ... ::forwards the information to the CEO's station::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::half-consciously makes an obscene gesture towards the guard.... the kind you could only find at a hockey game::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO*:  Bridge to Shuttlebay.

FCO_White says:
<FDC_CPO_Skern’e>::cuts off power to the shuttle's replicator and external lights::

FCO_White says:
*OPS* Shuttlebay, What's up?

Host Security_Guy1 says:
#ACTION:  The other security guy notes that the patient is nearly passed out.  Both walk over and begin picking Rofax up.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO*:  We may have another way into the facility.  Prep the shuttle and keep it on standby.  It looks like we may be able to beam down but I want the shuttle ready as plan b if beaming fails.

FCO_White says:
*OPS* Aye aye, plan 'b' will be standing by when you give us the order.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO*:  Thank you, Lt.  Bridge out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Stand by... stand by... ha! I've got control of their transporter system!

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Can we beam down from here?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::is as cooperative as a wet sack of beans::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: We won't need to. Scanning for Ullian life signs now...

Host Security_Guy1 says:
#CO:  On your feet.  You'll be getting moved to the bad boy ward.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Beam him up as soon as you get a lock ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
# ::doesn't really object as he is drug along::

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: Locking on... and... energizing.

FCO_White says:
<FDC_CPO_Skern’e>::cuts off all the shuttle's active sensors::

Host Security_Guy1 says:
#ACTION:  One of the security guys accidentally let's go.  Rofax hits the floor with a thud.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Beam him to sickbay.  I'm heading down there now.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::runs for the TL::

Host Security_Guy1 says:
#ACTION:  Rofax dematerializes to the shock of the security guys

Host Security_Guy1 says:
ACTION:  Rofax materializes in sickbay

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CO:  Captain? ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
