USS Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10606.01

Mission #256

Oh how the tables have turned. The valiant crew of the USS Sharikahr had been boarded by three Cardassian Keldon Class Warships, who were apparently sent by the Cardassian High Command to escort them to Cardassia. However, the Cardassians felt it necessary to take command of the Sharikahr and keep the crew prisoner.

Unfortunately, this meant that the crew would be placed in many difficult situations. For one, the entire crew was spread out across their Cargo Bays, protected by several Cardassian Troupes. With command functions locked out, the Cardassians did not have access to any of the ships vital systems.

This seemed to annoy the lead Cardassian, who took it upon herself to meet the Captain. During all of this, one of the Cardassians ordered Millicent Rodos to give up her young child. Fortunately, the Cardassian Gul heard this order and put a stop to it.

Meanwhile in Cargo Bay Two, another Cardassian Soldier decided to taunt Executive Officer Rodos due to his Bajoran heritage. This later turned into a huge conflict between the Starfleet Officers and Cardassians. However, the Cardassian Gul had ordered the oxygen to be taken out of the Cargo Bay, causing everyone inside to fall unconscious.

With the escape of Lieutenant Commander Cartwright and Lieutenant So'tosh, the Cardassians began to search. However, before any real action could be taken, the Sharikahr was fired upon. Several seconds later, the Senior Staff found themselves not on the Sharikahr, but in a Conference Room on Cardassia Prime.

Lieutenant Murphy and another Cardassian Gul, who identified herself to be working for the Obsidian Order, entered the Conference Room and attempted to explain the situation. Expectantly, the crew did not wish to hear about this. They had just been placed in harms way, threatened, and some harmed themselves

Because of this, the Sharikahr's Senior Staff was granted two hours to “regain” their composure before returning to the Conference Room back on Cardassia where they would speak to the female Gul.

Will the crew be able to regain their composure? Is Lieutenant Elizabeth Murphy truly on their side?

*CO*: Sir, if you need me in the conference room, an MO is able to watch Victory for now.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::looks up from his PADD, then gets up from his station and walks over:: XO: Everything's just waiting for the word go, Lieutenant. ::offers him the PADD:: Modified security roster for your viewing pleasure.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::puts down his PADD and takes the one from the CTO, looking over it::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: No, I mean the invisible man behind you. ::She rolls her eyes:: Computer: Resume to the Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::smacks com badge:: *CNS* Very well... If it's not too much of a burden on the medical staff, you can report for your regular shift.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CPU: Bridge

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: Excellent work. I'm sure your staff will be put to good use soon. ::hands back the PADD::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*CO*: See you on the Bridge. Rodos out.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: You know, I did just say that.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: Sorry... My mind is elsewhere at the moment... ::steps off as the door opens::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::smirks a little, and walks back to his station:: XO: Is that a threat or a promise?

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She does not comment as she steps onto the Bridge behind the Captain::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Self: Hmmm... XO: Sir, I have some information on the asteroid, though I find all aspects... confusing.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: That's up for debate... whichever way you'd like to interpret it. ::smirks::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::kisses Victory quickly and tells the MO on duty to let her know if anything happens, before leaving for the Bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks down to the center seat:: XO: Report Mr. Rodos....

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters a TL:: TL: Bridge

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She moves over to one of the vacant consoles and takes a seat:: All: Gul Rema should be contacting us soon.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::thinks to himself:: What I'd like to do involves a bottle of good scotch, a pretty woman, and 3 months' shore leave. But I'll settle for the scotch and pretty woman.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::walks around Engineering, checking systems and taking notes on his PADD::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::sitting at ops and has slaved the helm to her console::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::stands up and nods to the CO:: CO: Tactical is ready, shift rotations have been modified. Waiting for all other stations to report.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks from the first officer to the captain.::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::nods to the XO:: MS: You got that communicator for me Murphy?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::walks over to the CSO:: CSO: What was that, Lieutenant?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
Computer: what is the status of the Warp systems?

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: You are aware, Captain, that the Gul wishes to address your entire Senior Staff? I just found out... three minutes ago.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::exits the TL at the Bridge and goes over to her chair::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::adjusts the sensors just a little, maximizing the scanning width::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods to the data::  XO: There are ships going in and out of the asteroid.  I have also picked up a strange phase shift... it lasted only a few seconds.

ACTION: The Sharikahr is hailed from Cardassia Prime. Reports show it is from the office of Gul Rema.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: Kinda hard for me to know if you just found out yourself eh?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Changes the data screen:: XO: The ships are of all variety with mixed technology.  There are Romulan, Vulcan, Cardassian, Andorian, Federation, and Klingon just to name the major ones.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: Incoming hail from Cardassia.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: True, however, I thought she mentioned it before. ::She looks toward the CSO curiously:: CSO: Have you detected the same signature that was found from the device previously attached to the Sharikahr?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::gets the reading back from the computer:: Self: Looks like she still needs some work.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks up as the MS speaks to the CSO::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::stands and tugs on uniform and looks around to the crew to cut the chatter::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Shifts the screens again::  XO: This is an inference only, from the time with the Saber Tooth, but there is evidence for all the various alliances.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::takes note on the PADD and preparing to give the CO a full systems status when he gets the chance::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: On screen....

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over toward Murphy, saying nothing for a moment.::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::takes the cue from the CO as he silences the crew, and pipes through the transmission::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::takes a small box and goes under one of the consoles and begins working::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::senses mixed emotions through out the crew::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Murphy: I believe I stated that.

Host Glinn_Bralek says:
@COM: Sharikahr: This is Glinn Bralek of the office of Gul Rema. The Gul is prepared to beam aboard the Sharikahr. Are you ready to receive her?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns toward the main view screen.::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::senses nothing but the mixed emotions that are normal for such a situation::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks at the viewscreen, pondering the CSO's report::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
Engineer_Carl: make sure those systems are checked every minute.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She moves over to the CSO and whispers as she passes:: CSO: You didn't state that, Lieutenant. Remember, I do have ears myself. ::She moves away toward the command ring, that was news to her::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::does a double take:: COM: Bralek: I wasn't aware that she was planning on coming here... I apologize... May I have 5 minutes to advise my crew and prepare appropriate venue?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::makes ready to get up from his station, just in case someone has to meet this guest he'd rather stay far, far away::

Host Glinn_Bralek says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: That is acceptable, Captain. Please send us the proper coordinates once you are ready. Cardassia Prime out. ::He cuts the comm::

Engineer_Carl says:
CEO: Yes, sir. Would you like me to check on the warp core systems as well?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow, as she actually did, just not in those precise words, then proceeds to push Murphy from her thoughts.::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::closes the channel on his end::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
COM: Bralek: Acknowledged. Sharikahr Out.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
Engineer_Carl: Yes that would be nice please and thank you.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks around:: All: Okay folks... Time to improvise.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Well, that was news to me. ::She rolls her eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Inspection stations....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: Probably the first of many surprises....

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Seeing that I don't know what she knows, I wouldn't doubt it.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Recommend she have a security escort while she's aboard, sir. For her own safety, of course.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Agreed. Have one member of your team meet us in Transporter Room 1.

ACTION: Chief Harris notices a small tribble run across Main Engineering.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: Good work Lieutenant. In the mean time, try to extrapolate why this base might be here, and why all of these ships are docking and un-docking from a hidden base.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CO: I could rig sever security cameras in the areas of the ship sir.  OH and maybe something more to your liking.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, and sends word to ensign Bates to meet them in the transporter room::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She moves beside the Counselor:: CNS: How're you feeling, Counselor?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
Self: What the? ::gets up and looks at the small furball::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CIV: That won't be necessary... Just have the internal operations team rig the conference room for diplomatic envoy...

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and turns back to her station, to again preview the data.::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
MS: I'm fine, Lieutenant, thanks for asking

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She smiles ever-so-slightly:: CNS: That's good to hear.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CO*: Sir, sorry to bother you, but i just saw a small furball run across Engineering.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::wonders just what part of 'mission specialist' means nosy as hell::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::starts to head for the turbolift:: CNS/XO/MS: Murphy and Rodos'... If you would accompany me to the transporter room....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CSO: So'tsoh... You have the conn....

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Aye sir. ::follows the CO into the TL::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She turns toward the Captain:: CO: Yes, of course.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Yes sir ::follows the rest into the TL::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and watches the group leave.::

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::waits just outside the transporter room for the others::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She enters the Turbo Lift:: All: I would suggest being kind to the Gul, she is very much in the old Cardassian ways.

ACTION: The Sharikahr is hailed again by Cardassia Prime.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
MS: I wouldn't have it any other way, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::riding the TL to the transporter room:: *CEO*: Deal with it Chief... I need your department inspection ready....

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::looks up from his console:: CSO: Cardassia is hailing us again, lieutenant.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
MS: I believe we can be very accommodating.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She looks over the XO:: XO: Of course not...Lieutenant.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Please put it on the screen.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, and pipes it through::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::enters the transporter room::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
Eningeer_Carl: Grab that small thing and get rid off it get it out of Main Engineering.

Host Cardassian_Officer says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Federation vessel. State your business here.

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::follows the gathering into the transporter room, her hand straying to her phaser::

Engineer_Carl says:
CEO: yes sir.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow::  COMM: This is Lieutenant So'tsoh.  We were brought here.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::as my Engineering Carl gets that small critter out of here i must gets this place clean::

Host Cardassian_Officer says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Under whose authority? ::He asks in a growl::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::starts to move fast to make this place spotless clean::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::follows the CO into the transporter room, awaiting their guest::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the transporter Chief:: TR_Chief: Signal Cardassia Prime with our coordinates and our readiness to bring Gul Rema on board.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::stands next to the XO::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She steps in behind the others, looking toward the Transporter Pad::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Cardassian Officer: I understand it to be Gul Rema.  Is there a problem that should be addressed?

Host TR_Chief says:
CO: Aye sir. ::sends the proper coordinates to Cardassia Prime::

Host Cardassian_Officer says:
@COM: Sharikahr: You're in our space! That's a problem! Cardassia out! ::He cuts the comm::

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::takes up a position relatively near the transporter pad, just in case::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
:: looks rather surprised at the comm::

ACTION: Gul Rema materializes in the Transporter Room.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Please inform the captain of our recent 'welcome' from a Cardassian Officer.

Host Gul_Rema says:
::She looks around at the officers present to greet her:: MS: Lieutenant Murphy, shall we begin? ::She overlooks the Captain and the others::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::looks over to Sin, mouths "Poor communication skills?", winks, then taps his badge:: *CO*: Bridge to Captain Irvin...

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::steps up to the transporter pad, about to give the standard greetings, but pauses::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::runs a scan whilst he waits for the CO's response::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps com badge:: *CTO*: This is the Captain... Go ahead....

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CSO: That was really rude of him.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::keeps her face passive in the face of Rema's rebuff::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She looks from the Captain to the Gul:: Rema: Yes, we shall, Gul. I believe you have met Captain Irvin, this is Counselor Rodos, and Executive Officer Rodos. ::She motions to the officers::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Leans back contemplating:: CTO/CIV: It would appear that not everyone is on the same page.  I wonder whose agenda we are currently following.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods pleasantly at the Gul::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods politely to Gul Rema::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::extends hand for a handshake:: Gul: It is a pleasure to meet you, though I wish it were under better circumstances....

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
*CO*: Sir, we've received another transmission asking us why we're here... ::he looks over to the CSO as he continues:: Originally, it looked like it came from Cardassia. I have information that says differently now.

Host Gul_Rema says:
XO/CNS: Brother and sister? ::She ignores the hand::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles:: Gul: Husband and wife, actually.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow curiously, waiting to hear the new information.::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
Rema: Husband and wife, ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::takes a deep breath and retracts his hand - moves over to the transporter console and speaks softly:: *CTO* Identify the source and go to Yellow Alert, inaudible.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::waits for the readings to come in as finalized, then nods, going on:: CSO/*CO*: The transmission's point of origin isn't exact, but it appears to have been sent from somewhere in the vicinity of our asteroid.

Host Gul_Rema says:
XO/CNS: Serving on the same ship? ::She does not comment and moves toward the MS's side:: MS: Shall we go to some place more comfortable?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods at his orders anyway, and goes to yellow alert::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CSO*: i have some good news for you.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She looks toward the CO for conformation::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::simply smiles politely at Gul Rema::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Then they are more then aware that we are somehow involved.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*CSO* Full sensor sweep... Let me know if there is any unusual movement...

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
*CEO*: Yes?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: A moment please?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CSO*: Would you like some cute Tribbles? Well come on down to Main Engineering if you want one.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: And not liking it in the least, I'd bet.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::motions for the MS to come closer to him::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
*CO*: Sensors are on continuous sweep of the area, including your 'other' request.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Of course, Captain.  ::She moves closer to him::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CSO: I can't believe this we were invited and given the proper codes and yet we are invading their space?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Sits up:: *CEO*: That is good information as in how?

Host Gul_Rema says:
XO/CNS: How long have you two been united?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: We've just been hailed by someone that isn't pleased about us being here...

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
Rema: A few months

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CIV: It did not originate from the planet.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: They tried to mask the transmission to make us think it came from Cardassia Prime, but did a crap job of it....

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods at the CNS' reply and smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: It's coming from the asteroid.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CSO*: well i don't know how they got in here but i need help to get them out.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CSO: OK that is understandable then but then where it is coming from then.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She nods:: CO: It figures as much...

Host Gul_Rema says:
XO/CNS: And your Federation allows you to serve on the same vessel?

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CSO: OK from th asteroid but which one?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: I've ordered inaudible yellow alert and a full sensor sweep to monitor for odd movements. I wanted to tell you first so you could relay it to the Gul if you see fit.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
*CEO*: It is imperative you get them out of there as soon as possible.  I will have someone work on how they came aboard.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Understood, Captain. Thanks.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CSO*: got it.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::continues full tactical scans, borrowing information from other sensors::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS I'll need to send Mr. Rodos to the bridge....

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::begins on working on getting these Tribbles out of my place::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CIV: The one we are observing.  I need you to discover the source of the tribbles and nip the situation in the bud before we find a minor disaster on our hands.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
Gul: It does allow us to do so, yes.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Go ahead, I doubt she will mind. ::She moves toward the others again::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CSO: Where do you want me to put the ship at this point.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CSO: Did you say tribbles?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks back over to the others:: All: Pardon me for interrupting your conversation.....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Mr. Rodos... You're needed on the bridge

Host Gul_Rema says:
XO: A foolish allowance. ::She turns toward the Captain and then to the MS:: MS: Shall we go, Elizabeth?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Aye sir. ::turns to the Gul, ignoring her comment:: Gul: If you'll excuse me, ma'am.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CIV: Status quo.

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::takes up a position relatively near their guest in preparation to leave::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
Rema: Yes, we should. ::Waits for the Captain to move forward:: CO: After you, sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Check the cargo bays to see if we have any grain on the ship.  Cause if you have a tribble in engineering then we have grain aboard.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::exits the transporter room and finds the nearest TL:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::keeps a smile in place, she couldn't care less about the Gul's statement::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::moves to the front:: Gul/MS/CNS: We've arranged for accommodations in our Briefing Room on deck 1.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::brings up the cargo manifest of the cargo on the ship::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Doesn't follow Rochelle's deductive reasoning, but refrains from saying anything.::

Host Gul_Rema says:
CO: Then take us there so we may get started.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::beings walking towards the turbolift:: Gul: I've also arranged for a security officer to accompany in observance of your protection while on board.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::steps on to the bridge and walks toward the command seat:: CSO: Report, Lieutenant.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: And what ever you do don't feed them.  They breed like crazy when they get fed.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods to the CO as she follows the group::

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::being that security officer, she steps in line next to their guest::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::enters the turbolift::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CIV*: i have not fed them any thing i was working and saw one running across.

Host Gul_Rema says:
CO: I doubt your security will be needed or effective. ::She enters the Turbo Lift, followed by Murphy::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to the first officer.::  XO: We are currently at silent yellow alert due to an outside communication trying to determine our presence.  We also have a tribble situation in engineering.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Have you attempted to capture it?

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the TL last::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gets an idea, and focuses the sensors in the general area of the communication, progressively narrowing the scanning field::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CIV*: I have one my Engineering officers getting the thing out off here as i have an inspection coming here soon.

ACTION: A small tribble enters the Bridge and runs across the CIV's feet before making a mad dash around the Bridge, squeaking.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Gul: Nevertheless, we have our procedures here as well. I would be remiss in ignoring any potential threat or need...

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods:: CSO: Tribbles, huh? Thank you.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CIV*: what was that.

Host Gul_Rema says:
CO: As you wish, Commander.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CIV: Perform an internal sensor sweep of the ship, lock on to all tribbles, and beam them into containment.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
XO: Do not thank me... I have Rochelle working on assisting the CEO as well as finding out how it got aboard and if we have a potentially very annoying problem... Not that the current one is not annoying.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: I believe that the chef has some fresh grain in the galley and you might want to head for there and check his grain supply.  I bet you will find them in his grain.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Refrains from saying that she would prefer the tribbles to Murphy.::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::ignores the incorrect rank address::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks into the briefing room::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::decreases the sensor range in an attempt to determine exact distances::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood but I think I have found the root of the problem.  It seems that we have in the galley a large amount of fresh grain that was brought aboard.  Tribbles and grain go together.  So I would assume that they are coming from the galley and the grain.

Host Gul_Rema says:
::Enters the Briefing Room and takes a seat at the head of the table:: All: Shall we get this over with? I am rather busy...

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CIV*: on my way.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Returns to her sensors and telemetry::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods:: CIV: Good work. See if you can beam the whole grain supply into containment as well... get rid of the damn things for the time being.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the Conference Room and sits::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::heads for the kitchen::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::rolls eyes at the Cardassian having taken the head of the table chair, takes a seat next to the Gul::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She takes a seat:: Rema: I assure you, everyone here is on the edge.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: Anything on short range sensors? Incoming Cardassian ships of any kind?

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
XO: I will however lock on to all the tribbles and the grain as you have requested and arranged to put them into a containment field.

Host Gul_Rema says:
All: I will be brief... I've spoken to your Starfleet Intelligence and we believe we've located one of the bases for the Red Allegiance and Cardassian alliance. Would you like to surmise where that may be?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Gul: Let me guess... An asteroid about 4 parsecs distance from here?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::claps his hands together once:: Self: Got you... almost.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::locks onto the ten by the cargo hold and beams them into a containment chamber and erects a level 5 forcefield around it::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
XO: Lieutenant, I may have found the source of our Cardassia Prime communication that wasn't.

Host Gul_Rema says:
CO: A very good guess, Commander. We've decided that the Sharikahr must infiltrate the asteroid... and gather as much of their internal information as possible.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
*CEO* Have you located the others yet?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Gul: That's Captain....

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She raises an eyebrow at this news:: Rema: Get inside the asteroid?

Host Gul_Rema says:
MS: That is correct, Elizabeth.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CIV*: ya there are some in the Chefs grain.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: OK prepare for lock on to beam to the containment field already set up by me.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::locks onto the others and the grain and transports them into the containment chamber and raises the forcefield again::

Host Gul_Rema says:
CO: There is a weak point in their asteroid, an area narrow enough for a small vessel to enter from. We have one of their vessels, and would like for your senior staff to take it in and do what you must.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::stands up and walks over to the tactical station:: CTO: Where did it come from?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over at Arinoch::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::heads back to Main Engineering to get it clean and ready for inspection and grabs the padd and puts all the repairs he did and a full report::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::brings up a region of space about 2 light years from their current position on his console:: XO: Sorry I couldn't find you an incoming ship...

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Gul: Do you have any suggestions on how we can mask our sensor output? We haven't been successful in doing much undetected from here.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She looks toward the CO and then the Gul:: All: I would assume a stolen vessel from them would have been reported...

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir I have all tribbles in containment chamber.  Would you like me to dispose of them humanely?

Host Gul_Rema says:
CO: I am uncertain, Commander. My only advice would be to act like them. Intelligence from both sides know nothing more.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::trying not to get impatient:: Gul: That's Captain

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CIV: Proceed.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: If necessary, I'm sure the Doctor could alter our appearances and mask our biosigns so that they appear Cardassian

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: Keep a lock on that position... we'll see what the Captain has to say when he's finished with the Gul.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Scans the area of space mentioned.::

Host Gul_Rema says:
CO: Do what you must, Commander. ::She stands from the table:: MS: Lieutenant Murphy, I also have this for you from Starfleet. ::She hands her a Starfleet PADD::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::goes in his office and cleans up and gets Main Engineering ready for the Inspection::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::hands begin to pump a combination of  two chemicals one which puts them to sleep and then the toxic gas for death in less than two seconds::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::thinks to self:: Self: Now she's just being a pain...

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, focusing his sensors in that area and brings weapons to hot standby, the serious kind::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
XO/CTO: In that general area is a smaller system with colonies.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She takes the PADD and begins to look over the information, her expression saddens a bit:: Rema: Thank you, Gul. I suppose we should be going.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
XO/CSO: Not a bad place to hide a ship, you think?

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::does a full bio scan of the containment chamber an all the tribbles are dead::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::walks back to the command chair and sits down:: CSO: Any interesting information about that system?

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir, All the tribbles are deceased.  I can send the chamber out into open space if you would like.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
MS: We should be going? Are you leaving us Lt. Murphy?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Realizing what Rochelle is doing, she stills for a moment, ignoring the first officers request.::

Host Gul_Rema says:
MS: Yes, Lieutenant. ::She stands:: CO: Good luck, Commander. ::She exits::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::watches as the Gul leaves, accompanied by the security guard::

ACTION: Gul Rema transports off of the Sharikahr several minutes later.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: What is it Lieutenant?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, forcing her hands to relax.::  XO: No sir.  Nothing of note.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gets the report from Ensign Bates, and nods:: XO: Our guest has beamed back to the surface, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: Is there a problem, Lieutenant?

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Oh, nothing. ::She looks down at the PADD as the information erases off of it:: CO: Just more mumbo-jumbo. ::She smiles slightly and exits the Briefing Room::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Considers how to answer::  XO: To me, yes.  To the situation, no.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: Thank you, Mr. Arinoch.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Captain, why do I have the feeling that PADD said we were expendable?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: Hold on... You don't get off that easy... If that PADD had anything that either directly or indirectly effects this crew, I'd like to be briefed on it....

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::rechecks his sensors for any change in readings whatsoever in the region he's been watching::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She enters the Bridge and moves over to one of the vacant stations, pretending to not have heard the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: Because so far as she is concerned... we are. ::moves onto the bridge::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::stands up and walks over to the science station:: CSO: What's the matter?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: My ready room please Ms. Murphy...

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Captain, it is nothing that concerns this mission. I assure you... it concerns my next assignment.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Captain, I sense a feeling of annoyance from her, but nothing else.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the CNS as if to say "Truth?"::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She rolls her eyes:: CNS: Thanks for reading my thoughts, Counselor.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Tilts her head back:: XO: A clash of logic and culture.  To remove the tribbles was necessary.  To kill them, is against my belief.  However, the situation is now done with.  :: switches topics.:: Sensors show nothing currently out of the ordinary.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: She' telling the truth.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
MS: She's just doing her job....

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::feels a pang of regret in giving the order to dispose of the tribbles, but follows the CSO's cue in changing the topic:: CSO: Keep an eye on it, and notify me of any changes. If there's any ships coming from that system, I want to know.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Reading my thoughts? I don't think so, Captain... ::She stands and exits the Bridge::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
Murphy: Do you have a problem with the fact that I read them or the fact that I'm not Betazoid?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: Someone needs to explain to her the difference between reading thoughts and sensing emotions....

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Definitely

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: Suggestion, sirs. The possibility of a cloaked ship in that system.
