XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Standing in place, envisioning pictures of the brig and depressing thoughts::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Sitting next to Keely, her eyes flashing the anger she is having no difficult maintaining.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::in the communication center trying to keep her feelings of being trapped in mind, but not to the point of having another attack::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Looks at the OPS officer and feels rage toward the Romulans.::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: standing at her console keeping an eye one the Romulan ship ::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::walks into to the auxiliary bridge and heads for the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::squeezes his eyes even tighter shut as wave after wave of telepathic probing sweeps over the ship::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
ACTION: The sensation of "Being watched" is being felt by everyone.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Directs thoughts toward the Romulans, COWARDS!::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: brings images of the brig to the front of her mind and feelings of hatred ::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She increases these feelings as she stands there, planting her feet heavier on the floor::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::her mind flashes to a memory when she had fallen::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::ambles aimlessly around the room, trying to get a fix on the mind probing them::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Reaches back and massages her neck.  Between her anger and the anger in the room, she hoped someone was getting a headache for she was.::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::keeps on working on the OPS console::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Quietly::  FCO:  How much longer?

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She tries to aid the others on the ship who need help channeling these angry thoughts::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
Self: Man what happened here every thing is fried.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
ACTION: The telepathic probe falls away.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::wonders how much longer she can handle this balancing act::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Drops to her knees breathing heavily as the probe disappears.::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Her eyes open slowly as she looks around at the crew:: All: Is everyone ok?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CMO: Ma'am?

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
FCO:  Can you tell how much longer before we are there?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CMO: Standby.  ::Stands up slowly shaking her head trying to get the sensation to return to normal.::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Taps on her console.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes a deep breath:: All: He's gone.

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: nods ::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Looks toward Jyg.::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Yes, but for how long is the question. ::She watches the rest of the crew::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::grasps a bit as she pulls herself out of it::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
Self: OUCH that hurts.  ::crosses the wrong wires::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
All: 5 minutes to range.  ::Prepares passive sensors.::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
Self: Nope guess those wires don’t go there.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Great work Lieutenant.

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::nods and turns to the counselor.::  CNS:  Keely?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
XO: Thank me when we're out of here Cmdr.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::shakes head, trying to shrug off the headache:: XO: Assuming he found nothing this time, no reason for him to check again. He's strong, but unfocused.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods to the FCO:: FCO: That I will do.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
CMO: ::a bit breathless::  It's over with, ::softer:: thank you

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Smiles and gently lays a hand on her arm before heading over to her husband, a hypo hidden in her hand.::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Yes I noticed that as well. Although, other crewmembers were unfocused as well. Hopefully he did not gather anything from them.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::keeps on working trying to fix the console::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Moving next to him she lightly touches his arm with her right hand while reaching up to his neck with her left.::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Turns to the CEO.:: CEO: What's the status of that console Chief, we're going to need something soon.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: XO: Let's hope. ::his telepathy still on edge, feels his wife approaching before she touches him, leans down a bit for the injection::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
FCO: Soon all most there.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::whispers:: CMO: Thanks.

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::The faint sound of they hypo's hiss.::  CO:  Your welcome.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::hovers over to the replicator and orders a tea to help calm her::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: How is everything on your end Lieutenant? ::Looks over at the CTO::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::stands up and turns on power to the console::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CTO: Lt, I'm tying in my sensors directly to your side.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes another breath as the broken glass dislodges from his brain::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
FCO: There you go.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CEO: Just in time Chief Thanks.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
FCO: Any time.

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Takes her seat.::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Reactivates the OPS console.::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
CNS:  I wouldn't mind one of those.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
XO: We've got communications back ma'am.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
ACTION: Sensors begin to detect the planet Chaltok IV.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::nods and orders one for the doctor::  All: Anyone else?

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She notices the CEO has completed the console repairs:: CEO: Great work Lieutenant. Please assist Lieutenant Haynes in monitoring sensors.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
XO: Yes sir.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
ACTION: In orbit around Chaltok IV sensors detect.... nothing.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
All: We’re here.  ::Pulls up the ALT Viewscreen.::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::takes the second helm console::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::hovers over and hands the doctor her cup before sipping her own::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks up at the FCO:: FCO: So what do we have Lieutenant? ::Moves to her side::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
All:  This can't be........

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stands behind Patterson, looking down over her shoulder::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
All: Nothing, Nothing.

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: furrows her eyebrows at the information NOT on her screen ::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Taking the cup with a thanks, moves to check on OPS's sleeping form.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::listens to the FCO::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CEO: Can we recalibrate these sensors?  ::Whispers.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sighs, wondering where Woody is when you need him:: CTO: Cloaking?

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
FCO: Sure. ::Whispers::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Nothing is not a good thing. ::Looks behind at the CO for a moment and then back at the sensors over the FCO's shoulder::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Perhaps Sir.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
*CO*: S'Tarleya to Captain Ahkileez.... do you detect the Research Station? I am uncertain with your sensors.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::tries to give the sensors more power::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CEO: See if you can extrapolate stray ions.  9 times out of 10 that means something cloaked.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::gets one of her "feelings" that something isn't right but doesn't throw the panic alarm yet::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::scans for ions trails::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Frowns at having to reveal a Starfleet lack of capability:: *RCO*: We did not. Can you help us here?

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
FCO: You should have more power now.

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Pulling the blanket around him, she stands and moves back to her seat.::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Turns to the wall console behind her and bumps into the XO.:: XO: Pardon me Cmdr.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Takes a step back:: FCO: Of course Lieutenant.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks over at the CNS:: CNS: Are you getting anything Counselor?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Taps on the wall console, looking for the stray ions of cloaking technology.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::looks at the XO curiously:: XO: Getting something Commander?

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::wrings her hands:: *CO*: I would be giving.... ::pounds her fist on the arm of the Captain's chair and breaks the left arm:: I will be branded a traitor by giving this information, but I have no choice in the matter ::transmits scanning frequencies to the tactical console:: This may help in finding the station.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CNS: Any strange feelings of the sort?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Looks over the CTO.:: CTO: Lt, anything?

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::looks down at her left fist and feels the broken bones::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::frowns a bit::  XO: Nothing that I can put a finger on.  It just doesn't seem right... Why have it cloaked?

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
::  looks down at the display :: CO: I have the frequencies.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO: What are we getting at those locations?

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
CNS:  Perhaps because they don’t want their own people finding the area?

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CNS: My thoughts exactly. There are many reasons why.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::attempts to scan for a any cloaked ships::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
CMO: Perhaps...

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Scanning now Sir.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Brings up her escape routes course plots, just in case.::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
Self: Darn no ship anywhere.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::holds his tongue while the crew does their jobs, anxious for this to all be over with::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::yawns::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
Self:  There you are!!!  CO:  Sir, It's cloaked, in polar orbit.   I also detect various Vulcan freighters docked and powered down.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks over at the CTO as she speaks::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: How long until we reach the Chaltok system Lieutenant?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frown deepens:: CTO: Very good, Lieutenant. Continue scans.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
XO: We'll enter in a few minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*RCO*: Commander, we have the target. What's the procedure from here?

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::winces and sees the sensor reading:: *CO*: I shall be contacting them Captain and requesting docking instructions. My escort... may or may not leave... I am uncertain.

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: nod :: CO:  Aye Sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods to Lieutenant Haynes as she listens to the Romulan Commander::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::feels the bones fall back in place on her hand and lets out a small gasp::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Looks toward Jyg, not happy with what she is hearing or the tone of uncertainty.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*RCO* That can't be helped. I need to get aboard where they're doing the 'experiments'. My team and I will go with you.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Cringes at the thought of an Away Team.::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::nods as if he can see her:: *CO*: It will be done.... ::smiles:: Is Centurion an adequate rank for you?

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::drinks more of her tea::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Does the calculation quickly in his head:: *RCO*: It'll do. Let us know when you're ready.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Doesn't like the idea of the Captain going there, but she knows he is the best choice because he is Vulcan::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
:: More like Mud will be his name if he does not come back in one piece.::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::looks down at the broken chair and debates telling him about the broken arm of the chair::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
*CO*: Acknowledged... Out.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::closes down the channel and turns back to his crew:: All: Your attention for a moment.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Looks at the CO.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::looks up at the CO::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Keeps her eyes on the CO::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Her eyes never having left his face, she feels her body tense.::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::turns around::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: looks up at the CO ::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::nods to the ROPS and straightens her uniform by yanking his towards the bottom::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes a deep breath:: All: It won't be long now before we're in a position to investigate this atrocity factory the Empire is running here. If all goes as planned, we'll retrieve the kidnapped Vulcans and destroy this facility. I know many of you are unsure about this. We're deep in enemy territory and the stakes are not good.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
All: But this is a righteous act. We cannot allow this to continue for many moral reasons, but also practical reasons as well. We cannot allow Romulans to generate telepathy wielding assassins, and we cannot allow them to kidnap Federation citizens with abandon. Both will lead to chaos years or even weeks from now.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
All: I can't convince you that this is worth the risk. You have to decide that for yourself, in yourself. I can only tell you that *I* believe it is. I believe it enough to walk in to the lion's den. If I have any hope of walking out again, I need you all behind me. Keeping me alive.

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: nods ::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
COM: Station: Chaltok Station this is S'Tarleya... I have completed the mission.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She stares at the CO and nods after all of his remarks. The crew needed to be strong, for the Captain, and for the innocent Vulcans::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles at all of them:: All: We're going to get out of this. Just do your jobs and everything will be fine.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
<Base Commander>@COM: Sharikahr: RCO: Well done..... prepare for docking maneuvers.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::remembers her mother had tried to warn her there would be a day like this ahead of her if she left Gem::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
ACTION: Chaltok Station decloaks.... coming to life on the viewscreen in polar orbit.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances at the Romulan monstrosity for a long few moments, before turning his attention back to his crew:: All: I'll probably be unable to use the comm systems once I'm in for awhile. It's too easily traced. If necessary, I can communicate with Kelandra.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks at the base on the small screen and sighs::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Raises an eyebrow at his use of her first name.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
All: I have to go now to join Commander S'Tarleya. Commander Patterson, you have the Conn. Keep my ship in one piece. ::smiles:: The crew too.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Kela, a moment outside please? ::gestures as he heads for the door::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::nods and follows him out the door.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::tries to give the CO an encouraging look as he leaves::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: Everything will remain in one piece Captain. I promise.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
<RCO_V'ldr> $COM: Sharikahr: RCO_S'Tarleya: We shall be leaving... you have gotten a good prize there S'tarleya.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods to all of them and slips out the door with Kela:: CMO: I never knew what to tell Jahrel every time I left to walk in to Hell. The easy part was she didn't care. ::smiles wryly at his ex-wife's disposition:: But I don't know what to tell you.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks around at the crew, she knows how they all are feeling at the moment::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
CO:  That you will be back soon or I will come haunt you.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO/CEO: I want a lock on the Captain for as long as possible. ::She takes a seat at a small station::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::touches her cheek lightly and feels her thoughts that she won't say:: CMO: I'll be back. I'm too damned stubborn to die. ::leans down and kisses her softly::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Returns the kiss savoring, and refusing to consider it could be their last.::  CO:  Stubborn is a very good adjective for you.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
COM: V`ldr: I do indeed fair journeys...  Out.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
XO: Understood.  Let's just hope dampening fields don't get in our way Cmdr.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Let us hope. If they do, we need a plan to work around them.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
RFCO: Drop out of warp and bring us into tractor range.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: CMO: I love you. Never forget that. ::takes his hand away from her face and breaks contact with her blue eyes::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
CO:  I love you... ::Steps back, allowing him to leave.::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CEO: Well Chief look like you and me are gonna be side by side on this.  ::Looks over at the sleeping OPS.::  Poor guy, but then again, I might rather be dead to the universe right now.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::creates one solid memory of his wife before turning and heading up the corridor towards Destiny::

CMO_LtCmd_Akhileez says:
::Stands still for a moment, watching him go, the glitter of tears held in check.::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks around the crew for a moment and says in a low tone:: All: Lets make sure our Captain comes home.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
ACTION: The Romulan station locks a tractor beam on the Sharikahr and the docking maneuvers begin.
