Man or Monkey, pt 3
Host warp9 says:
Last week on the USS Pendragon:

Host warp9 says:
::cue video of the Pendragon closing on a Cardassian Freighter, phaser banks blazing and deflector dish glowing dangerously::

Host warp9 says:
Captain Rofax ordered an attack on a lightly armed freighter.  ::fade in still photo of Sigmund Freud raising an eyebrow::

Host warp9 says:
Commanders Thraxis and Toms put their lives in the hands David White.  ::video of shuttle entering orbit of Divi VI::

Host warp9 says:
Will Captain Rofax ignite an interstellar “incident”?

Host warp9 says:
Will the away team fulfill their quest?

Host warp9 says:
::cue dramatic music and roll opening credits::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Captain's Log - SD 10504.23

The Cardasssians have proven to be their usual, trustworthy selves and I feel our efforts may have come too late to turn the tide. The simian population on Divi V has been decimated and all the signs of forced labor are present. The Cardassian are clearly playing ignorant in a situation where it has no place.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
My patience has dissolved and they will pay for their crimes.... This ends today.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::at her station::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::At his engineering station, waiting to see if operations is able to get a transporter lock. Pensive::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: begins donning the cold-weather gear ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::trying to get a lock on the simians on the Cardie ship ... ::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::grumbling something about faulty transporters... or faulty transporter operators.::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO, FCO: Suit up, gentlemen.

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  The freighter drops shields

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::frowning, as he has grown accustomed to::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::starts to put on kit:: Self: This aught to be fun

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::Half in and half out of the cold weather gear::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
OPS: Any luck yet? I'm not sure how long I can - wait a sec, they've dropped shields....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::notes the shields are down:: CEO:  I see it.  Locking on ... ::locks on transporters::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: checks settings on phaser ::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: Mr. Toms, bearing and distance to the nearest mining encampment?

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::shunts auxiliary power to the transporter::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::pulls on the heavy jacket than walks to the shuttle's small weapon's locker. ::XO: What weapons should we take sir? Hand phases, rifles, pointy sticks?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::checks position:: XO: Nearest one is southeast, about 1km.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::watches as the transport is successful:: CO:  Captain, I've managed to transport the Simians aboard ... Unfortunately we also have two cardies onboard as well ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: Prepare for evasive maneuvers and place some distance between us and the Cardassians.  Now.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ FCO: Phaser IIs for everyone. Mr. White, you take a phaser compression rifle as well.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  I would suggest getting your security to the cargo bay.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black> ::turns the Pendragon back to Divi V::CO: Aye sir.

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  20 Simians huddle whimpering in cargo bay 1

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Have security escort the Cardassians to the brig.  They are to be held until further notice.  Have the medical staff begin examining the Divi V inhabitants.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
OPS: Yes, ma'am. ::orders up some redshirts to the cargo bay to baby-sit the simians::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
CTO: Let me know what if any environmental adjustments that are needed

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::Fully kitted up, takes a phaser, handling it gingerly.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  You heard the Captain ... take the Cardies to the brig.

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  The Away Team sees some cliffs up ahead

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: checks out the cliffs through binoculars ::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::pulls out a hand phaser and clips it to his belt than carefully lifts the rifle out of its storage compartment.  He checks the charge and nods to the XO::XO: Good to go, sir.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: All right. OPS: Yes, ma'am. ::tries to separate the million voices he hears at once::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: This should be fun

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ All: Move out.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
*TO_Whodunnit*: Please report to the bridge and cover TAC 1.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: Any nearby life signs, Mr. Toms?

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Sir, sensors show an approaching ship.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
<approaching>

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::comms medical to go to the Cargo Bay and check on the simians she beamed aboard::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: Continue for Divi V and prepare to take up a defensive position between the planet and the freighters.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CTO: Identify please.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Working on it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Should I try to hail them?

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Sir, it's a Federation ship. It's on an intercept course.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: I’m getting 4 Cardassians in the camp. Still nothing from underground. 

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::inputs the commands and puts the Pendragon in high orbit of Divi V between said planet and Divi VI:: CO:Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Not yet... I have a hunch the Commander isn't coming to play nicely.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
<Security Team> ::arrives at the cargo bay. Some security officers escort the Cardassians to the brig while the others stay behind to watch the Simians::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: Where is the mine entrance?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CTO: Maintain Red Alert and get me weapons, of any sort, quickly.....

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Yes, sir. It's the Pontifex, Defiant Class, and moving at warp 5.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Middle of the camp

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
::begins triggering weapons::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::pulls down the mask to cover his face and snaps the goggles over his eyes.  He pulls the hood up than puts on the gloves and follows the team quickly::

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  The away team trudges across the tundra.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: Let's hope you pilot as well as your counterpart.  This old bird will not outrun the Pontifex.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@:: scowls :: CSO: Great.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  We're going to fire on  Federation vessel?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::Looks alarmed:: CO: Sir?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Isn’t it just

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CEO* Mr. Damien, please tell me you made significant modifications to the Pontifex before leaving?  Such as memorizing her shield frequency?

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  The hominids go berserk in the cargo bay

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
::hears the CO:: CO: Maybe her command codes, sir?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: I sincerely hope not, Cmdr.  I sincerely hope not.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I'm getting reports that the hominids are not coping well in the cargo bay ... in short they've gone bonkers ...

Host CO_Kyrron says:
ACTION:  The Pontifex hails the Pendragon

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CTO: I have mine, but I trust they have been altered.  ::tosses him a padd::  Try these.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
CO: I don't need to memorize it. It's contained in the command codes for piloting the ship when it's disabled/in enemy hands. You would need to access them, but I can take it form there

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: signals a stop just before they reach the edge of the mining camp; the trio crouches behind a nearby boulder ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  The Pontifex is hailing ...

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
<Security Team> ::begins making efforts to calm the Simians down::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: On screen.  ::frowning all the more, if it is even possible::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
ACTION:  The away team sees piles of hominid bodies outside the mining camp.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::puts the comm onscreen:: OPS:  On screen.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: That is, tasteful.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::keeps moving with the team not commenting on how difficult it will be or how cold it is just moving...until the XO signals stop.::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
#COM: CO:  You are hereby ordered to cease and desist.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::looks up in disgust:

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: looking at the bodies :: All: That can't be good.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::smiles as she sees Tria on the screen::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
::looks up at the screen::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::lifts his hands off the helm console and folds them in his lap.::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::whispers::  OPS: Have the doctors move the hominids to the Holodeck and replicate their habitat if necessary.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: Scan those corpses. What did they die of?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sends the order to move the hominids to the holodeck and replicate their habitat there::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
ACTION:  The hominids continue to go berserk.  Heart rates are rapid.  One has died of shock.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::grins::  COMM: Pontifex: Sorry love.  Not yet.  Not until I have some answers.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  CO:  Well... hummm.   We seem to be having some engine trouble.  Behave yourself until we get there.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Aye sir. Also, there appears to be a force field around the camp

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Pontifex: I'm sorry... your signal is breaking up....

Host CO_Kyrron says:
#COM:  CO:  Right O...  I'll send Peers your best regards.  Kyrron out.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::grins and motions for the channel to be closed::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::crouches in the snow watching for patrolling cardassians.::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: What's its source?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::replaces his hands on the helm console doing important looking things.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Appears most dies of starvation, although a few died of blunt force trauma.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Status in the cargo bay?  Are the doctors having any luck?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Doesn't look like it.  The hominids are still panicking.  One has died.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Sir, the Pontifex has stopped. It's just outside the system.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Transport all but one back to Divi V.  Have the med staff sedate that one and take it to sickbay.... I need to know what they are capable of.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Seeing as how they said they were having engine problems, I think they may be having ship problems.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
@ACTION:  A Cardassian appears dragging a dead hominid

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::nods and locks onto all but one of the hominids and beams them back to Divi V.  Orders the doctors to sedate the one remaining and get it to sickbay::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Internal source. I might be able to do something to it, give me a minute.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::glances at the XO and CSO standing than simply shoots the Cardassian not bothering to check the setting on the rifle::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
ACTION:  Transport fails.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CTO: I would offer assistance, but our comm systems are not working quite right at the moment.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, I cannot transport the hominids.  We are not in range.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::looks over his consol, noticing the failed transport, frowns::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::starts to tinker with the tricorder trying to overload the field through some sort of resonance thingy::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: Get us within low orbit of Divi V.  We need to get the hominids back in their surroundings.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: angrily grabs the rifle from White's hands :: FCO: Consider yourself on report, mister. Go back to the shuttle and wait for us there.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
ACTION:  The Pendragon is now in transporter range.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::locks onto the hominids again and beams them down to the planet::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
@ACTION:  The Cardassian runs back inside as the security fence shimmers.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::looks at the XO his masked face showing anger:: XO: Sir. ::He stands, turns and walks at a leisurely pace back to the shuttle.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
#ACTION:  An alarm sounds around the mining camp

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: So much for the element of surprise. Shut down your tricorder before the Cardies lock in on it.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::drops to a low orbit of the planet Divi V::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
ACTION:  The hominids scatter into the bush of their native planet.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Please tell me we have one I can speak to...

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  The hominids are back on Divi V.  And yes we still have one hominid onboard.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::Returns to the shuttle, locks the door and strips out of the cold weather gear thinking about moving the shuttle.::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
::wonders what it would be like to be on the away team right now::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Good work Cmdr.  Beam our security team back up from Divi V and have them begin debriefing.  Get us back to Divi VI and get me a status report on the away team.  You have the bridge.  I will be in Sickbay  ::turns and exits::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::nods, orders the security teams on Divi V to beam back to the Pen::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
Self: Beam? Don't they have a shuttle?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO_Black:  Set course for Divi VI.

Host Guron says:
#ACTION:  A group of four Cardassians emerge from the camp and approach the perimeter

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::puts his feet up on the console examining the local area::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COM: XO:  Pendragon to away team.  Status report, Commander.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
OPS: I'll either be in engineering or torpedo bay one, depending on the status of repairs. I'll keep the bridge informed.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Thank you, Lt.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
Self: Never mind. ::sighs::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::plots a course for Divi VI waiting for orders::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::exits::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO_Black:  Take us back to Divi VI.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: Cardy freighter approaching the system.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ *CO*: We're just outside the Cardassian mining camp, sir. Lt. White took an unauthorized potshot at a Cardassian. I am considering aborting the mission, as they no doubt know we are here now.

Host Guron says:
@ACTION:  They Cardassians are heavily armed

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Hail them.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::enters Sickbay and heads for the hominid, with palms raised outward::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::engages the course planning on putting the Pendragon in orbit above the away team:: OPS: Yes ma'am

Host Guron says:
<Hominid>  ::backs away fearfully::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COM: XO:  Acknowledged.  We have a little situation up here ...

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::bursts into main engineering:: Ensign Rappaort: Status of the torpedo bay?

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: Pontifex is intercepting them.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::makes a cup of coffee and sits drinking it thinking about how much damage the shuttle can do.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Keep an eye on the situation, Lt.

Host Guron says:
@ACTION:  The Cardassians take up position around the perimeter.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: Yes, ma'am. Still want me to hail them?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  No ...

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: Understood. ::watches the movements of the Pontifex and the freighter::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::stops::  Hominid: Do you understand me?  ~~~::tries to sense if the hominid can comprehend what he is saying::~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: Your thoughts, Mr. Toms? I don't think these boys are going to let us stroll in and look around.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: They're holding position now. More than likely comming each other.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Understood.

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  Rofax senses only raw terror

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
<Ens Rappaort> CEO: Repairs are underway, we should have the torpedo bay back on line within 12 hours.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Over there sir. Isn’t that a cave entrance?? ::points to the cliffs::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
Ens: Make is six. Or less. We may end up needing them. I'll work on alternatives until it's back up and running.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::begins drafting a report about what happened pointing out that the Cardassian could not possibly miss the other two officers standing at the perimeter of the base.::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: checks the indicated cliff face with the binoculars ::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
::listens in:: OPS: Ma'am, the Pontifex is 'inspecting' the freighter.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Prepare to offer the Pontifex assistance should they need it.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ ::tries to convey thoughts of peace and images of Divi V::  ~~~

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: Yes, ma'am. ::begins setting up tactical reinforcements for the Pontifex::

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The hominid relaxes noticeably.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::sits slowly on the floor on Sickbay::  Hominid: We wish to help.

Host Guron says:
<Hominid> ::looks at the CO blankly::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::Whistles a tune as he sits in the warm shuttle with his hot coffee::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::smiles softly and removes a ration from his pocket to offer it to the hominid::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: I can't tell. All I can make out is a dark smudge... could be a cave opening, could just be a shadow.

Host Guron says:
<hominid>  ::looks at the item in the COs outstretched hand::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: I’ve got nothing else without the tricorder sir.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ ::sees images from the hominids memories and begins probing deeper and very carefully:: ~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: Understood. All right... we're doing no good sitting here. We crawl away, on our bellies, just like in basic training. Try to keep the boulders and vegetation between you and those sentries.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Joy. As you say sir.

Host Guron says:
@ACTION:  The Cardassians back up toward the camp.  They really hate the cold.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::does as told::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: flops on his belly and begins crawling slowly away ::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: looks behind him :: CSO: They're going back inside. Stay down! It could be a ploy.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::does so::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ ::closes his eyes and allows the memories to come full force:: ~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::waits to see what happens next::

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  A minute passes

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::looks at the clock watching a full minute pass quite quickly::

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  Yet another minute passes, very much like the first one.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::opens his eyes to see the hominid almost in a trance and injects it with a heavy sedative to render it unconscious::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::continues watching the crono::

Host Guron says:
<hominid>::collapses::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
::notices 2 minutes pass by::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:

Host Guron says:
@ACTION:  The Cardassians hold position near the building... where it’s warmer

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Yes, Sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
FCO_Black:  Are we in orbit?  CTO:  Hail the Cardassians, Lt.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::checks:: OPS: Yes, Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*OPS* Also, contact Captain Kyrron, the Cardassians have fired upon us when informed of the charges against them.  We are in need of assistance.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Captain?

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: has almost reached what he hopes is a cave entrance ::

Host Guron says:
@ACTION:  It's getting really toasty inside the shuttle

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*OPS* Your sensor logs say otherwise Commander?

Host Guron says:
@ACTION:  The XO and CSO come across a cave entrance.  Another few hominid bodies are scattered around

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head:: COM: Kyrron:  USS Pontifex this is the USS Pendragon.  Come in please.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::relaxes in the heat without a worry in the world just enjoying his coffee and looking at the cold outside::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::heads for the computer core, padd in hand::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: Hailing. ::hails the Cardassian freighter::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
#COM:  OPS:  Yes, Jordan?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::enters the control room and makes sure the computer sensor logs indicate the Cardassian freighters firing upon them as he remembers so vividly::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: Check these... did they die of the same causes as the ones at the camp?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@Self: You shoot someone and you get sent back to the nice warm shuttle you stand around looking obvious and you get to stay out in the cold...Next time I'll shoot someone right off.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
#COM:  OPS:  And you.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::checks the hominids bodies for cause of death:: XO: It appears so.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COM: Kyrron:  Apparently the hominids have asked the CO for asylum ... and I have been asked to inform you that the Cardassians fired upon us when we challenged them.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: No response from the freighter. Hailing the mining camp. ::hails the camp::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
#COM: OPS:  I'll relay the news to DS14.  I hope Pindari knows what he's doing.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COM: Kyrron:  One thing though ... the Cardassians did not fire on us ... but don't tell DS14 that yet ...

Host CO_Kyrron says:
ACTION:  The mining camp opens a channel

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::arrives at torpedo bay one and looks over the repairs being made::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
#COM:  OPS:  Don't tell them what?  ::grins::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
OPS: We got a open channel with the camp, ma'am.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

#::opens a dialogue with Peers at DS14::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Captain, we have the Cardassians ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*OPS* Thank you.  Patch it through to me.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Patch the comm through to the Captain, Lt.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Mine:  Your "stock" has asked for asylum.  It is time to talk.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ *OPS*: Jordan... we've found multiple simian bodies here, most of which died of starvation. Some appear to have been beaten to death.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
