Host Cootles says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Cootles says:
The U.S.S. Pendragon continued its unauthorized investigation into a Klingon vessel buried in an expected place... deep beneath the surface of a deserted Romulan outpost. The Pendragon's ruse of launching a probe distracted the Romulans long enough to peak the curiosity of one vessel.

Host Cootles says:
After tractoring the probe aboard, the prove self-destructed and took half of the Romulan vessel with it. Needless to say, the Romulan commander was less than pleased and had re-doubled their efforts to intercept the Pendragon and uncover why they are so close to the Neutral Zone.

Host Cootles says:
< < < < Begin Mission: Finders, Keepers, Part V > > > > 

ACTION: The Romulan vessels have turned their attention back to the Pendragon and are still a few hours away.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::Ashley twists and turns a bit on the floor of Sickbay. Her eyes remain closed::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::standing in front of his chair watching the view screen::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::watching as the Romulans approach ... becomes even more apprehensive ... doesn't want to fall into their hands ever again::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::pointing the phaser at the creature::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She has her phaser pointed to the creature before her:: Creature: I said stand down.

CIV_Luchena says:
::in sickbay sliding down a wall::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::On the bridge at his station, thinking about the debris he is to examine::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She makes her way over to Mrs. Luchena and begins to perform scans of her:: Barnes: Help me transfer her to Biobed Three.

CIV_Luchena says:
::lands on the floor with a plop and opens his eyes::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She nods to Servek and makes her way to the other side of Ashley to assist:: Servek: Ready when you are, Doctor.

CIV_Luchena says:
::watches them moving Ashley::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> ::blinks several times and switches its gaze back and forth at its visitors::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Position of the Romulan vessel?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Mulder and Scully point their phasers at the creature::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Lt. Servek> Barnes: Proceed. ::They both pick up Yates and place her on Biobed Three. She does not present any form of struggle::

CIV_Luchena says:
::scrambles to his feet::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Checking, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Creature: Can you understand what I'm saying? ::She looks at Heins:: MO: Have Mulder and Scully report here on the double.

CIV_Luchena says:
::calls out::  Yates:  Ashley?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Mr. Damien, are we receiving any data from the Away Team concerning the Klingon vessel?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: 90 minutes before interception, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Not yet. Do you want me to hail them?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>::sees them already behind them::  XO: Sure thing ma'am.  ::looking back over her shoulder at the two::

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  Love, are you there?~~~

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She looks over at the Captain but decides to ignore his outburst at the moment:: CIV: She cannot hear you, Mister Luchena. Please remain back for a few moments so I can be certain she is pieced together correctly.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Negative.  I don't want the Romulans to know they are down there.  They might intercept the transmission.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye.

CIV_Luchena says:
Servek:  Pieced together?  ::turns pale::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> ::looks at the XO and continues to blink:: XO: Doesn't..... ::mutters something more unintelligible::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::feels tense waiting to see what the XO's next actions will be::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She notes the arrived:: Mulder/Scully: Fast runners. ::She smiles a bit:: Creature: I am Alicia. Who are you? ::She points to herself first, and then the creature::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> MO: Can you make out what it's saying?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::shakes her head at Mulder looking a little wide eyed::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She glares at Servek:: CIV: She wants to ensure her molecules have been fused together properly. Not to worry, Mikal. Everything is looking very good. ::She smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> Mulder: Something about "Doesn't".  Doesn't what I don't know....

CIV_Luchena says:
Barnes: I think I'm going to be sick.  ::dashes into the CMO's office::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> MO: What does your Tricorder indicate?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::She stirs a bit on the Biobed and begins to say something, but it is incoherent::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> XO: I... am... broken.... ::sounds confused::

CIV_Luchena says:
::vomits on Servek's desk::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
::checks weapons in case they are needed::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::looks odd at Mulder::  Mulder: Broken?  He's an android that needs repair?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She watches the creature carefully:: Creature: How are you broken? We ::She points to the team:: Can help ::she points to the creature:: You.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Ms Thraxis.  Any communications coming to or from the Romulan vessel?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She notes that the procedure seemed to be fairly successful:: Barnes: Acceptable results. Keep monitoring her results. ::She makes her way toward her office::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks::

CIV_Luchena says:
::staggers from the CMO's office and into a nearby water closet::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> ::tries to mimic the XO's arm motions, but instead makes it look like really bad disco:: XO: I am to broken this. Do not let away. ::continues the wretched disco dance::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> Creature: What do you want us to do?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She watches Mikal and walks over to him. She places a hand on his shoulder:: CIV: Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::raises an eyebrow at the movements::  XO: I think we need an Engineer ma'am.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, I have a preliminary report on the debris we beamed aboard. They were attacked, but not by Romulan or Klingon weapons. The origin of the attackers is unknown.

CIV_Luchena says:
Barnes:  I'm fine.  How's Ashley?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Smirks:: CO:  It seems they're rather angry with us for breaking their ship.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: Someone we don't have on our team. ::She looks over at Scully and then back at the creature:: Creature: We can help. Show us what is broken.

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> ::hands his metal tool to the XO:: XO: You broken too.  ::picks up a new tool and begins smashing it against the console in front of it::

CIV_Luchena says:
::rinses out his mouth::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CEO: So whomever attacked them has superior weaponry?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
ACTO: Definitely.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns looking at Damien::  CEO: Then who else was out here?  Access the logs of the battle earlier see if you can determine if any of the vessels were using non-standard weapons signatures.  Like those of some alien race.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She moves in front of the creature:: Creature: Wait. No breaking. We fix?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CEO: Superior to ours, too?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at Jordan::  Jordan: Hail them.  Tell them we are prepared to offer assistance should they need it.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> CIV: It is looking up for her. Don't worry. Perhaps if you stand by her she will be able to sense your presence... it may help. After all... she... well... went insane to get to you.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
ACTO: Impossible to determine. But we are roughly equivalent to Klingons and Romulans. CO: I'll see what I can dig up.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::continues to keep her phaser pointed at the creature::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods:: COM: Romulan Vessel: Romulan Vessel, this is the Federation ship Pendragon.  We are standing by to offer assistance. Please respond.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The comms continue to be exchanged by the Romulan fleet and they sound less happier than they did 10 minutes ago. The lead vessel is requesting several additional vessel provide backup.

CIV_Luchena says:
::cringes::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@ AT: Do your scans show anything wrong in this area? Anything out of the ordinary?

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> ::stops what it is doing and looks to the XO::  XO: ....Broke....  ::slumps the floor::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Heins: Scan it.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  They're definitely not happy.  They are requesting more ships for backup.

CIV_Luchena says:
::washes off his face::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::pulls out her medical Tricorder and scan the area with it's limited medical abilities::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She kneels down next to the creature:: AT: Do you think he may have been one of the experiments held on this vessel? Like the... rats?

CIV_Luchena says:
::feels drained; absolutely, completely and utterly::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::She screams out in pain::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::grits his teeth hearing Jordan::  Jordan: What is the closest Federation vessel?

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: As the creature slumps away from the console, the configuration and language displayed change. At first, most was unrecognizable, but now distinctly resembles Klingon text and configuration standards.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She hears the scream, turns, and runs to the Biobed::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::cross references the energy signature of the debris with any known race::

CIV_Luchena says:
::looks over at the biobed::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>::raises a hand::  XO: Ma'am, I took Klingon at the Academy

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Not close enough.  They won't arrive until 20 minutes after the Romulans ...

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: Check the console that the Creature was just looking at. ::She pauses:: MO: Like a Klingon culture class or their language? I know the language... if that is what you're referring to.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::She stops screaming, her eyes open up, and she darts up quickly in the sitting position::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: OK.  ::goes to it::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Then we'll give the Away Team another ten minutes before we risk hailing them to return.

CIV_Luchena says:
::approaches the biobed slowly::  Yates:  Ashley?  Are you all right?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sir?  What about your hologram idea?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: I want your top priority to see what is wrong with our friend here. ::She places a hand on it:: Creature: Is this your ship?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::walks over to where the CEO appears to be working on the weapons problem::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Yes?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Were you able to complete the adjustments?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  The holoemitters are ready.  The crews are making the final adjustments now.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::She turns her attention to the voice of her husband. Ashley watches him for a moment, blinks a few times, and just stares::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: So far I've identified around 20 other species’ signatures on the wreckage.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She examines Yates' medical scans::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Were you able to determine if the vessels in the battle were using weapons of their own race?

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: As Mulder steps to the console, everything is displayed in English and takes a rather "X-like" configuration.

CIV_Luchena says:
::stops some distance from the biobed::  Yates:  You are Doctor Ashley Yates.  I'm your husband, Mikal Luchena.  Do you remember?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She looks down at her portable chronometer:: AT: We have ten minutes...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Initial findings say no.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CEO: Oh...  there were wreckages from other ships?  Not just weapons signatures of unknown origin?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: This is weird.  It's in English.  In an approximate X shape.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> CIV: Mikal? What are you doing here? Why... what's going on?

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The screen saver scrawling across Mulder's displays states "The truth is in here."

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Not necessarily. Just their energy signatures so far.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: What does it read? ::Curiosity fills her voice::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Good, have the holo-emitters produce a warp flash and then the image of a Galaxy class.  The name should read Ajax as per my earlier comms with the Romulans.

CIV_Luchena says:
Yates:  You had a medical crisis, Love.  How do you feel now?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: "The truth is in here." Any ideas?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Understood.  ::begins programming the holoemitters::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Could there be some sort of convergence in space to other realities...  Just like we encountered at Alpha Sigma Star Twins?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> CIV: I had a crisis? ::She pauses for a moment, feeling a bit dazed. Sickbay starts to spin around so she immediately lays down:: CIV: Dizzy... confused... I could easily diagnose my own symptoms...

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> Mulder: Does someone want us to look into the computer?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Golly. I sure hope not, but I'll look into it. ::weak smile::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Scully: That is what I'm thinking, Ms. Scully. If you would assist Mister Mulder.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> Scully: Apparently so.  But, why?  Because an answer lies there or because a trap lies there?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::still trying to figure out what is wrong with the creature::

CIV_Luchena says:
::steps up to the biobed and takes Yates hand::  Yates:  You just need some rest.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: There is only one way to find out. Open it. We don't have much time. We cannot keep the Pen waiting much longer.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::finishes the programming::  CO:  I'm ready.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Mulder and Scully try to figure out how to open the computer::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves back to his chair::  Jordan: Initiate.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> CIV: How... how long have I been out of commission? And... what happened? ::She closes her eyes in order to regain her sense of direction::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I don't know how long this will fool them though ... it might buy us enough time for reinforcements to get here ... ::activates the holoemitters initiates the program::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: How long can we produce this facade?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> Scully: How about this?  ::points::

CIV_Luchena says:
Yates:  I'm not sure.  It had something to do with Quinn, I think.  ::lets go of her hand and steps back::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The Creature gives into the Doctor's efforts and allows the scans to continue. It is primarily suffering from dehydration.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> Mulder: Let's see if it springs open.  ::tests it::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: Speak with the creature. See what you can find out from it. ::She moves to Mulder and Scully's side::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I can hold the image for ... around 10 minutes, maybe.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks for evidence of a spatial convergence::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>::produces some water from her medkit and rips an opening in one side of the bag holding it over the creature's mouth::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: It is powering up.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::She looks at Mikal sincerely:: CIV: What about Quinn dear? Did we have an argument? ::She sighs:: CIV: I always seem to be the one causing problems...

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The console powers up at Mulder's touch and immediately displays Tactical information.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs::  Jordan: That's not much time.  OK, call the Away Team back.  It's not worth the risk.  Have them use the debris as cover.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: Very good Mister Mulder. ::She smiles:: Mulder/Scully: You two are a fantastic team.

CIV_Luchena says:
::speaks without expression::  Yates:  He's gone.  He's dead.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods and opens a channel:: *XO*:  Pendragon to away team.  Cmdr Kirchof please respond.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> @: Mulder captures the tactical info on his scanner::  XO: May I transmit this to the ship, Ma'am?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::Her eyes immediately widen. She shoots straight up in the sitting position:: CIV: WHAT? How? I... ::She can feel some tears begin to form::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> XO: Thank you, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: Negative. Download all of the information onto your Tricorder. We can't risk sending information to the ship from here.

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The console cycles through massive amounts of information and begin plotting out the incoming Romulan fleet as well as the Pendragon and shuttle's locations.

CIV_Luchena says:
Yates:  When the warp 10 field collapsed, he went with it.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: Download complete.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She hears the comm come through and is a bit startled. Quite a surprise:: *Jordan*: Kirchof here, Mrs. Thraxis. I take it there is some emergency?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  You guessed right.  Return to the ship immediately.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She motions for Mulder and Scully to step away from the console. She whispers:: MO: Will the creature be ok if we leave it here?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves toward OPS::  Jordan: Is it possible to make the image of the "Ajax" mimic the shuttle's movements?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@*Thraxis*: We may have a visitor accompanying us. Be advised we may need Medical and Security.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  Understood.  Medical and security will be standing by.  Thraxis out.

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The console switches to a communications display and shows the various frequencies it is masking its signature on. The console confirms the Romulans can hear what the Pendragon is saying, but cannot detect anything being said by the Away Team.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::She reaches her hands out toward him:: CIV: But... I don't understand. How? The last I remember, we were looking for Captain Vn'dor...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Yes ma'am... until it needs to eat or drink again....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
ACTO:  Lt Tribble, have a security detail meet the shuttle upon it's landing.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  Bridge to Lt Servek.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Creature: Do you live here?

CIV_Luchena says:
::steps back::  Yates:  I'll explain it all when you've rested.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She nearly finishes cleaning up the mess in her office:: *Thraxis*: Servek here.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
Jordan: Aye.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> CIV: I... ::She just stares at him:: ~~~CIV: I don't want to lose you...~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  Please have a medical team report to the shuttle bay to greet the incoming shuttle.

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> XO: It is yours. Do not let the broke go to them...  ::points at the console::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: Do we have all of the data from the console?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> Creature: Who is them?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@XO: Yes. Download is complete.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Perhaps he means that we should not give the ship to the Romulans?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She nods to the Creature:: Creature: I understand.

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  You're not going to lose me.  It's just, for the moment, I have nothing to give you.~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I can try to make the image do that ... however we may lose the integrity of the image ...

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She points her phaser at the console:: AT: Step back.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Mulder and Scully step back::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> ::stands and moves to the console, bringing up the Tactical display again::  XO: Them!  ::points to the blips representing the Romulans::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs::  Jordan: Well it's an option we may not need to use.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::moves behind something for cover::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: I don't understand what is going on, Mikal. I... there is much more that has gone wrong, isn't there? I can sense it...~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods:: CO:  I'll keep in on standby anyway, just in case.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Creature: Yes. We will make sure it doesn't ever get to them. Please step back as well. ::She motions for it to follow Heins::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> :Creature: Do you know why?

CIV_Luchena says:
Yates:  I'm upsetting you.  I'm going to go.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: We don't have time for questions. We need to go. Head back to the shuttle and have it powered up. All of you. I'll be there in a second.

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The Creature begins tapping many consoles in sequence, operating as though it has several appendages. Weapons and engines power-up.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Ma'am??  What is it DOING?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> Creature: What are you doing?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She raises an eyebrow:: Creature: Wait! I promise they won't get the vessel. Please… let us take care of it.

Host Cootles says:
@ <Creature> XO: Cannot allow.... they broke many before you. They broke you too.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::follows Kirchof's last order and heads back to the shuttle in a sprint::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She looks back at the AT:: Creature: Please, I don't want to have to hurt you. This is your final warning. ::She turns the phaser to the creature::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Medical scans reveal the Creature's pulse and breathing are increasing and vitals are becoming dangerously high.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: No... I'm upsetting myself as always.~~~ ::She pauses:: ~~~CIV: Just stay here with me. That's all I ask.~~~

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@XO: Wait! How do we know it isn't right?

CIV_Luchena says:
::wearily pulls up a stool and sits near Yates bed::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: Wait! How do we know it isn't right?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::notes her Tricorder beeping as she jogs away and stops::  XO: Ma'am!  Leave it!  It's vitals are becoming VERY unstable!

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder/Scully: We can't let the Romulans nor Klingons know we have been here. ::She pauses:: AT: Report to the shuttle now! That is an order! ::She steps several steps back::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The Creature collapses in a heap and is sweating profusely.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::grimaces and follows her orders::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: No, Ma'am.   Just leave it and go.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She finishes cleaning up Mikal's vomit and then sends the medical team::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Romulan fleet has launched a massive number of probes in the general direction of the Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: I'm going too. Now report back to the shuttle Mister Mulder.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, we've got visitors on the way - in the form of probes.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She waits for the two Security Officers to pass behind her:: Mulder/Scully: Just get a few steps in front of me. That's all I ask. Now do it.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sees something fill sensors:: CO: Confirmed!  They're Romulan probes!

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ::She lays back down on the Biobed and just closes her eyes:: ~~~CIV: I've missed you.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to look at Damien::  aCTO: Lieutenant... if any cross into Federation space...  destroy them.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Mulder and Scully reluctantly follow orders, wondering if they should::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye. ::looks grim::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks pensively back at the captain::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She fires her phaser at the computer core room when she is outside of its doors. She holds it for at least 15 seconds:: Mulder/Scully: The shuttle! Now! ::She begins to run that way as well:: *MO*: Have the shuttle ready to depart when we arrive!

CIV_Luchena says:
::sitting quietly, feeling nothing::  ~~~Yates:  I know.  We have no secrets from each other.~~~

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The vessel's weapons fire and engines kick in. The Creature has apparently programmed the computer to tunnel its way out.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Bring us to Red Alert.  ::sits in his chair visualizing the many possible futures::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::loses balance from the rumbling as she sprints back to the shuttle::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Red alert, Aye.  ::enacts Red Alert protocols::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::programs in evasives::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: I... I don't want to be apart again. Ever. Promise me.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::gets ups and heads into the shuttle preparing pre-flight::

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  I'll stay with you as long as I can, Love.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She continues to runs toward the shuttle. She jumps in a few seconds after Heins with the Security Officers:: MO: Get us out of here!

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Ensigns Smith and Wesson await the AT::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The activity of the buried vessel gets the attention of the Romulan fleet and half breaks off in that direction. The remainder are headed directly for the Pendragon.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>::launches the ship in a hurry skimming through the narrow passages of the tunnels::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: They are coming, Sir!  ::targets Romulan vessels::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: I'll go with you to the Triton. I think... I think I've finally made the right decision for once.~~~ ::Once that is said, she falls asleep::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sees half the fleet veer off:: Self:  What the?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::oh great::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing Tribble::  Jordan: Have the Ajax intercept but stay in Federation space.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Scully: Take weapons control. We may need it if there are any Romulans around.

CIV_Luchena says:
::feels Ashley fall into sleep::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Shields are at maximum. Rerouting power to weapons.

CIV_Luchena says:
::quietly get up and puts the stool away::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Good.  Keep them our priority.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Doesn't think this will work but does as the CO orders ... programs the hologram ship to intercept::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Scully takes the weapons and views scans for signs of hostiles::

CIV_Luchena says:
::leaves sickbay::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::suddenly sees the black of space as the ship "launches" out of the caverns of the planetoid::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She monitors the sensors as they finally leave the planetoid::

CIV_Luchena says:
::enters a turbolift::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Ajax moves off in the appropriate direction.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Scully: We won't fire unless absolutely necessary. We're in their space after all, and we don't want to intensify this conflict any more than it already is.

CIV_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> XO: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: Full speed ahead, Doctor. As fast as we can take her.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::darts off in the direction of a particularly large chunk of a ship's hull::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The Romulan fleet headed for the planet is within firing range. The entire fleet opens fire on the planet. They have yet to discern the shuttle from the debris.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@*Pendragon*: Away Team to Pendragon. We are heading back to the ship. Please be advised medical and security are not needed. I repeat, medical and security are not needed.

CIV_Luchena says:
::emerges onto the bridge.  Nods at the CO, then makes his way to a secondary station::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CIV: Glad to have you back Mr. Luchena.  How is Commander Yates?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Something tells me the Romulans don't want anyone investigating that wreckage

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  Doing well, Captain.  She's lost her memories of the past few months, but otherwise is intact.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  Understood.  ACTO: Lt, please stand down the security and medical teams. 

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> ::thinks Medical and security aren't needed.....yet.::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Fine by me Commander.  Whatever was so important down there certainly is nt worth interstellar war.

Host Cootles says:
$<Yertoast> COM: Pendragon: CO: You thief! I know why you are here and I shall destroy it before it falls into your hands!

CIV_Luchena says:
::logs onto the console and reviews the tactical situation::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: What exactly is on your Tricorder. The information you downloaded? What is so important?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
Jordan: Uh.... are you sure?  Considering the last comm we just received?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: YerToast: That is correct Commander....  we have located our damaged shuttle and are retrieving it as we speak.  If you should fire on it, the Federation will consider that an act of war.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Cut the comm.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::cuts the comm::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: ETA to Federation Space?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@XO: <Mulder> XO: Analyzing it now, Ma'am.

CIV_Luchena says:
::looks at Vn'dor::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Right about...........  Now.  ::grins::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Romulan vessels giving chase open fire in the general direction of the shuttle. Debris begins exploding all over the area.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She returns the grin:: MO: Perfect timing Ms. Heins.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Thank you ma'am...  ::feeling proud of herself having finally found her confidence::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: Evasive pattern Epsilon 3. That should evade any stray debris.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::angles the ship for the Pendragon::

CIV_Luchena says:
::looks back at the sensor readouts::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Romulan fleet comes within a "stone's throw" of Federation space. They are hailing the Pendragon.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: Do you hear that noise? ::points to baffle plate coming lose::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  They're hailing us ... but they haven't entered Federation space ... yet ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stands::  Jordan: Put them on.  ::puts on a grimaced poker face::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::puts the comm on-screen::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: Yertoast: Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: We're in the clear Mister Mulder. It should hold... but let’s be on the safe side. Place a containment field around the location. We may only need it for a few seconds.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks at the screen::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::angles the ship toward the rear near the Shuttlebay::

Host Cootles says:
$ <Yertoast>  ::standing and glaring at the screen:: COM: CO: You...... ::is visibly shaking with rage:: ....have been warned..... ::cuts the comm::

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Mulder puts a containment field around it and then keeps an eye on it::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: Any luck on the data?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Bridge: I think we may see that one again.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Gee. He seemed angry ::warm smile::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CEO:  You think?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Romulan vessel is charging weapons.

CIV_Luchena says:
::looks at the others, confused::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She watches as the shuttle makes its way to the Cargo Bay:: MO: Bring us in, Ms. Heins.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  They're charging weapons!

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The Romulans are charging weapons.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CEO::  CEO: I thought it was more of the warm admiration smile if you ask me.  ::smiles at the CEO::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Stand your ground.  We are in Federation space.  He won't risk war.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::chuckles:: CO: They're powering weapons.

CIV_Luchena says:
::has never felt so alien before::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: All power to shields.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Our shuttle in yet?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'm on it.

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Mulder> XO: You're going to like this.  We now have the shield frequencies for the entire Romulan fleet. ::smiles widely::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::brings the shuttle down with a slight bump::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Romulan vessel fires upon one of the smaller Romulan scout ships, vaporizing it instantly. The remainder of the fleet then backs off.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Mulder: Wonderful. Transmit them to the Bridge from the shuttle. ::She taps her badge:: *CO*: Captain, we have a present for you. Tell Lieutenant Tribble to look for some very good data.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  They're in!

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> *aCTO* We have the shield frequencies for the Romulans.  Transmitting them to you now.

CIV_Luchena says:
::doesn't understand the behaviour of the Romulans any better than the behaviour of his comrades::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: That looks like a set-up.  ::points at the exploding Romulan scout ship::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
::She stands up and looks around at the Away Team:: AT: You three did a fantastic job. Believe me, you will be rewarded. ::She smiles::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Or the punishment for failure ...

CIV_Luchena says:
::has an odd feeling that he's not supposed to be here::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
AT: Of course, we aren't in the clear yet. Report to your duty stations. Mister Mulder, may I have your Tricorder?

ACTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> XO:  ::smiles:: Treat it very carefully, Ma'am.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::Looks over at the CIV:: CIV: Lunch...commander. It's good to have you back. I kept your piano tuned ::goofy grin::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
Mulder: I wouldn't treat it any other way. ::She returns the smile::
