USS Sharikahr Mission #225. 10802.07

Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
Last mission a fugitive asked for help to the CSO and the CMO, while planetary law enforcement is knocking at their door. In the meanwhile the CTO and his young friend Sha' are gone missing. 
On the other side of the planet OPS has found what looks like a crime scene in a remote island's tropical forest.
Back in Alamo City Captain Savar and Commander Rodos are experiencing the first opening of what will probably become a long negotiation, and on the ship the CEO is busy refitting his engines.
Are all these events linked someway? If so how? Let's hope that the players are good enough to discover it.

#::Sitting on the beach watching the waves roll in.::
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$::walking around Main Engineering checking on how the installing is going on::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Finds a place to sit and wait, gets out a canteen and drinks some water and looks over the scene before her::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::standing next to Savar, listening to McKay::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::Looks through his scope down the trail he has just come down::
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::exchanges pleasantries with a passenger, shares a smile and then moves on to the next::
Host Enrico says:
#: <Sheriff's Office>COM:OPS: We have dispatched a CSI unit. They will arrive to the island in 15 minutes following your beacon. Could you please go meet them and show them to the crime scene?

%ACTION: The last of the colonists' family passes through the custom check point and moves toward their temporary housing. A light on the CIV's tricorder indicates all personal records match.

Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: CO/XO: So, in your professional opinion, do you think the Sharikahr can do her mission by herself or do you think you will need other ships to back you up? The admiral here ::smiles:: would like to send me with a whole fleet.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#COM: Sheriff: The beacon is my shuttle from my ship. I'll meet them there.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Starts back for the beach::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Motions Highsmith to head out the window.::
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::enters a command into the unit, giving the appearance of simply taking notes, and compiles their profiles to be sent to his quarters for later review::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
XO: McKay: I think we'll work just fine by ourselves
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
McKay: The Sharikahr excels in many aspects, but it lacks in others.  We are a diplomatic vessel... if we were to meet hostilities; we would be outmatched... unless you doubt there are dangers in space.
Host Enrico says:
#<Sheriff's>COM: OPS: Aye and thanks for your cooperation.

@ACTION: The knocks at the cabin's main door become louder.

CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::stands up and begins to hoof it back to the cabin::
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$::access the console checking for any signs of sabotage or flaws::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#COM: Sheriff: Least I can do for fellow guardians of law and order.
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::folds the tricorder shut and tucks it away, exchanges a nod with one of the customs officers and starts on his way out::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Motions for the CMO to follow him and head for the shuttle.::

@ACTION: While walking back to the cabin the CTO feels there is an object inside the pocket of his hunting vest, an round metallic cylinder he did not put there.

CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::pats his pocket and feels the strange cylinder::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Hopes to get the conversation back to McKay ::  McKay: You've certainly put a lot of thought into this expedition.  Your timetable is... impressively optimistic.
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$Computer: scan the engines for any signs of flaws.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::slowly withdraws the cylinder and looks it over::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Grabs his surfboard and starts heading back to the resort to go to the other side of the island where the waves should be picking up.::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@Self: what the hell?
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: CO: How so Captain?
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Walks back out to the shuttle and waits in the shade, sipping water::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::Slips it back into his pocket and pulls his hood back up and cradling his rifle heads towards the cabin::
Host Enrico says:
@<Sgt_Norris>: CSO/CMO: Tejas Rangers! Please open the door we know you are here. We have some questions we would like you to answer.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
McKay: If I understand your intentions correctly, it would appear that you expect to be settled and civilized quicker than what others would assume is possible.

$ACTION: The computer starts a diagnostic of the ship's engines..time to completion 5 minutes.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: grabs both people before they head out the window as she notes one of the rangers coming around.::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::sets a nice steady pace through the scrub::
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::makes his way down the nearest corridor, and towards a bank of lifts::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Quietly she comms the ship::  Sharikahr: Two people to beam up.  :: motions the doctor and Highsmith to prepare.::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
McKay: In our experience colonization doesn't tend to go this smoothly
Host Enrico says:
<McKay> CO: No captain, I expect a lot of tribulation, and suffering, and adventure, and the triumph of the pioneer spirit stifled by Federation's bureaucracy.
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Emerges from the resort on the other side of the island carrying a surfboard.::
Host Enrico says:
@<Admiralty_OPS>: COM: CSO: Admiralty he…, please state the nature of the emerg…. ::the sounds comes out of very low quality::
Host Enrico says:
$<Lt_Cmdr_Delgado>*CEO*: Lieutenant, if you have some spare time, could you please meet me in my office? I would like an update on your progress and also inform you of some modifications to the project's specs.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::in a low voice:: *CSO*: Sin
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Begins walking up the beach looking for a more secluded area to catch waves.::
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$*Delgado*: understood sir on my way.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Looks at the doctor with a raised eyebrow and shakes her head.  Something was not right here.::  *CTO*: Adam?
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>XO: As I said, I do not expect it to go smoothly. Everyone joined the expedition knowing it would be hard. Darn we will spend 6 months in deep space, plenty of danger there ::seems very eager about it::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@*CSO*: I`m not far off there`s been an accident
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::finds himself a lift, and request the transport level::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::groans inwardly and hopes this guy doesn't drag them into unnecessary danger::
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$::grabs the pad and heads for Delgado’s office::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Notes OPS standing in the shade and nods with a smile.::
Host Enrico says:
@<Sgt_Norris>::screaming through the door:: CSO/CMO: We are looking for a fugitive, a certain John Rolle, he is wanted for drug dealing and we tracked him down in this area, we would like to know if you have seen him around. Please open the door, or we will obtain a warrant.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::voice thick with emotion:: *CSO*: Is Sha` with you?
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Waves to the FCO::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@*CTO*: Explain accident.  And while you are at it, we have a problem here. :: turns from the other two::  I have one individual who has asked for sanctuary and to rangers outside, knocking on our door, whom the man is afraid of.

#ACTION: A shuttle appears flying in from the mainland, its landing struts come out and it lands on the beach raising a small cloud of dust.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Motions the doctor and man into hiding and then quietly closes the door.::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Looks at the waves and then at OPS as if trying to make a decision, and decides to go talk to OPS.:: OPS: Hello.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@*CSO*: I’ve been injured Sin. Stay put I’m a few minutes off I’ll sort them out
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$::walks up to the commander’s door and pushes the button which alerts Delgado::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::picks up the pace his head pounding::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: Hi.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
McKay: Have you ever spent a long time in deep space?
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::as the lift comes to a stop, he remotely sends the coordinates of his beaming point to the transporter room via his tricorder, then tucks it away again and heads in that direction::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Shields his eyes from the dust.:: OPS: What's going on with the police?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Pauses as Adam's question, registers::  *CTO*: What do you mean, is Shá with me?
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::reaches the tree line near the cabin and drops into cover and raises his scope to his eye and scan the cabin::
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: XO/CO: So what danger would you expect?
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: There's a crime scene in the jungle back there, so I called them.
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Seriously? What happened?
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::lowers his voice to a whisper:: *CSO*: I see them stay inside. I was knocked out and when I woke Sha` was gone
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: Seriously. I found a dead body. If I were you, I'd get scarce before you get goat-roped into this.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Begins to feel very worried.  Pushes the one issue aside and moves to the door still not moving it:: Rangers: I regret, you will need to obtain a warrant.  This abode is not mine and as such, it is not mine to freely allow strangers to enter.
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$::shakes head::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::stands and pushes his hood back:: Self: Dammn woman
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::steps into the transporter room, and nods once:: Chief: I assume you have no problem with locking in the coordinates requested? ::as if not really concerned at the moment with the answer, steps up onto the pad::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Now why would I leave you here to get stuck with interrogations all alone?
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
#Cmdr_delgado: hello sir I have my report here hand him the pad.

#ACTION: An airlock opens on the side of the shuttle and five people in Rangers' uniform come out, one of them, a tall brunette, with the name “Sidle” tagged on her uniform, starts moving toward OPS.

CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::raises his voice:: Rangers: How can i help you two gents
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: On account of you are probably smart, and so far, not involved?
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::slowly moves forward::
Host Enrico says:
$<Delgado>CEO: Great, I like an efficient young officer. Please sit.
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
#Delgado: Thank you sir. :: takes a seat.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Hearing Adam's voice, she slowly opens the door, phaser in her hand, resting unobserved by her side.  Not liking any of this.::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Just because I'm an All in Wonder officer, doesn't make me smart. ::Laughs.::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
McKay: Well let’s see there's pirates who would look on an a colonial convoy as easy pickings. There's also hostile aliens and who knows what waiting in the area you are settling in.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::spots Sin and knows a lecture is going to be forthcoming::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::moves slowly towards Sin::
Host Enrico says:
@<Sgt_Norris>:: turns around when he hears the CTO's voice:: CTO: We are looking for a fugitive, a convicted felon named Rolle. But someone inside won't let us in. Are you a friend?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Remains by the door, watching, prepared.::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Sidle: Nice to see you folks are prompt. Grab your gear and get ready for a bushwhack, it's about 10 minutes into the tree line.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@Sgt. Norris: Well sergeant that there`s my wife. And she don’t take kindly to strangers banging on our door
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: XO: Well we have you as escort, and two Klingon ships and we are no exactly easy pickings I believe. But in substance you agree we need more ships?
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
%::sees the rather confused look on the petty officer's face, but he complies anyway, and keys up the transport to a few meters shy of the front gate to the admiral's house::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@Sgt Norris: Now I don’t rightly know this chap you’re looking for
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@::blinks but says nothing to that comment, though a touch of humor flashes briefly in her eyes.::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::winks at Sin::
Host Enrico says:
@<Norris>: CTO: Well sir, we will scan the house once we obtain the warrant, and if we find traces of him, well you know aiding and abetting. ::seems deadly serious::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
McKay: In substance yes, but since we are all you'll except, we'll have to be good enough. And we will be.
Host Enrico says:
#<Sidle>: OPS: Commander I hope we did not make you wait too much. Can you describe me what you found while we head to the crime scene?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ ::Says nothing, not wanting to break the illusion Adam is weaving.::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Just stands there listening.::
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: CO: Your officer seems to have a temper. I like that.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@Norris: Well son you can do that. But before you do why don’t you show me the arrest warrant
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::moves closer to Sin::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Sidle: I'm on shore leave anyway. When I arrived here I scanned the are for any dangerous wildlife. My tricorder detected human remains in the treeline, so I went to investigate. I had to hack my way in. I found a decomposed body with no signs of the cause of death, and a sealed box I can't scan inside of. I didn't touch anything, and called you.

%ACTION: Lt Arinoch is beamed on the Admiralty's premises, the party is going on on the villa's back yard.

XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
McKay: I don't have a temper; I just don't enjoy anyone assuming my ship is useless.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Looks closely at the shuttle and two men, picking up nuances.::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Starts leading the team back to the crime scene::
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
::looks around for some sign of a possible escort, guesses he's just supposed to go it alone, and does just that::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: holds his tongue, and refrains from attempting humor, lest he say something inappropriate ::
Host Enrico says:
#<Sidle>:OPS: Did you by any chance find out how this person arrived to the crime scene? In any case, ready to go whenever you want. ::seems friendly::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::starts to undo his Ghilli suit revealing the SF camouflage uniform underneath::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS/Sidle: May I tag along. I am a doctor, and may be of some help.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Continues leading on:: Sidle: I'm uncertain. The whole area is thickly overgrown, as you can see, and the fella looks like he's been here a while. Offhand I'd say he walked, I didn't see a vehicle.
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: XO: Whoa ::smiles:: I am sure we will find plenty of use, after all you will lead the convoy for us space newbies.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: These are a Crime Scene Investigation team.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::slowly works his way to Sin`s side::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::smiles back at him::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: I'll take that as a no then.
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
::comes upon the party itself, and exchanges brief conversation with a few of those who'd recognize him::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Notes the men look hard and probably are... and are very angry.  But says nothing as she waits for Adam to join her.::
Host Enrico says:
@<Norris>CTO: If you think Starfleet intimidates me you are wrong Sir. Here we are the law, and if we find you are breaking it, well, you will change in striped suit soon enough.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: Keep an eye on the shuttle and wax the boards up, I'll be back as soon as I show them the way.
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Spots her surfboard and grins.:: OPS: Sounds like a plan then.
Host Enrico says:
%<Delgado> CEO: I was thinking we should reinforce the EPS conduits above the specs given us by Starfleet. I ran similar project on the Dublin. They should be able to hand more energy transfer. What do you think?
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Leads the CSI team to the crime scene::

#ACTION: As soon as the CSI team arrives to the scene they start scanning and measuring the area. They seem surprised by the briefcase, then they bag it and put it in one corner.

FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Watches them leave, then begins waxing surfboards.::
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
::whips out the ever present tricorder, and takes a few cursory scans of his surroundings as he moves, just in case... call it paranoia, but a meeting of this many forward thinkers is just a tragedy waiting to happen::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::Comes to Sin`s side and slips his arm around her. Partly to hold himself up:: Norris: Son let’s not turn this into a jurisdictional contest. If I go inside and find this bloke I’ll contact my security people and have them pick him up and then my 2ic can liaises with your boss. Now son get of my property before I part your eyebrows
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::looks over the party smiles and waves Donavin over when she sees him::
Host Enrico says:
@<Norris> ::smiles:: CTO: Too bad then. ::moves toward the shuttle::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Keeps the frown from her face as she slips a supporting arm around Adam.::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Sidle: This is just how I found it. I didn't even go in as far as you are now. I'm an old Tactical officer, I know the drill. Anything else?
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::whispers to Sin:: CSO: get me inside before I fall down
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$<Delgado>: well commander I think that’s a great idea, but sir I am waiting for the scan results.
Host Enrico says:
#<Sidle>OPS/FCO: This person seems to have beamed here, no tracks whatsoever, if so I may know what killed our John Doe.
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
::exchanges a few words with a lovely young lady, nods a few times, then catches Millicent's wave out of the corner of his eye and makes his way over, slipping the tricorder back from wenst it came::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Nods and carefully moves him inside, shutting and locking the door behind her.::  CTO:  I have many questions, but first let us get you taken care of.  :: Leads him to the kitchen table.::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Sidle: Oh really? Curious...
Host Enrico says:
$<Delgado>CEO: Sure, no problem.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::leans comfortingly against her. His feelings barely under control::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@CMO: Doctor, we require your assistance.

@ACTION: The officers enter the shuttle and disappear there.

CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::sits heavily in the chair. His rifle resting against the table::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: for his ears alone::  CTO: I do not like the way that ranger phrased his parting.  :: Carefully helps him sit down.::
Host Enrico says:
#<Sidle>OPS: Ever heard of remat detonators?
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: Neither do I. Sin I’m sorry
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Steps a bit away as the doctor comes in to take care of him.::

ACTION: the CO and the XO can see a young officer come out of the house and whisper something in Admiral Landry's ear. Admiral Landry nods and walks toward them.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ CTO: I do not understand any of this.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
CIV: Hey
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Sidle: Nasty bugger those, but they are usually used in Spec Ops and Covert stuff. Who was this guy and if they zapped him, why didn't they nab his briefcase?
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
::approaches the group, offers a smile and nod to both Millicent and McKay:: XO: Hey. ::clears his throat, and directs his attention to Savar:: CO: Captain. Lieutenant Arinoch, at your service.
Host Enrico says:
#<Sidle>: I do not know, yet, but this is not the first case of remat detonators use we found so far. We had a few murders in the past weeks. Looks like someone is on a rampage.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: Last night during the storm I was struck by a branch and I was knocked out for a couple of hours
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ CTO: From the beginning please... :: Moves back over to the table and gets her tricorder to scan that shuttle.::
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$<Delgado>: sir let’s do it. The upgrade looks in the clear.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::winces as the Doc does her patch up job::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Finishes waxing OPS' surfboard and starts on his own.::
Host Enrico says:
<Landry>::whispers:: CO/XO: It seems we have a situation. Some of your officers are in trouble with the law. I just received a message from The rangers HQ. Please follow me,
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Sidle: Let's hope you get lucky with that briefcase then. By the way, I'm trained in Explosive Ordnance Disposal. I could help you open that, if you like, since we can't seem to scan it. Might have some gnarly surprises in it.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ CTO: And...?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Raises an eyebrow and whispers ::  Landry: Which ones?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::looks surprised::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: While I was out Sha` disappeared. I looked for him but it was too late
Host Enrico says:
#::finishes packing the corpse and collecting evidence:: OPS: Thank you for your cooperation, but we will take it from here. Would you mind coming with us, for your testimony?
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::witht he Doc finished his emotions begin to well up::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ CTO: That is not like Shá.
Host Enrico says:
<Landry> CO: Your CSO, CMO and CTO, the rangers just got a warrant.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::sighs:: Sidle: I guess the sooner we get it finished the sooner I get back to shore leave.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::can't help it as her mouth falls open in shock::
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow as the admiral approaches, and turns instead to McKay:: McKay: Sorry I couldn't exactly make the proper introductions in person. Seems the more people get involved, the more I have to make sure customs doesn't harass 'em all, you know?
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Finishes his board and decides to sit back against a tree and wait for OPS to get back.::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: I know. And something was following me back here. I never got the chance to see it. Sin I don’t know what to say ::tears begin to flow::
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>CIV: Well Lieutenant, this is why they pay you the big bucks I guess. But I do not envy you. ::chuckles::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ CTO: We are being actively scanned. :: turns around::  I am not picking up much, other then they are inside their shuttle.

#ACTION: The whole party arrives at the shuttles.

Host Enrico says:
#<Sidle>OPS/FCO: please follow our shuttle.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::stands and moves to a wall console, tapping in a few commands:: CSO: This will send a feedback loop through their scanners
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Looks up from the tree.:: Sidle: Huh?
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Sidle: Will do. FCO: I need to go give my testimony. Pack the gear, we can come back after with fresh supplies.
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
McKay: ::smirks:: Just remember I've still got that bottle of scotch on ice. 2349... no replication. And... *very* hard to come by. ::winks::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: waits for Landry to lead the way ::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Hands him a Kleenex.::  CTO: They may be on the right side.  As I said, we do have someone here.  He asked for sanctuary, telling us a rather outlandish story.  We were uncertain how to take it.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::another set of commands activates force fields around the doors and windows::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::Wipes his eyes::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Sounds good. ::Starts grabbing the gear and packing it into the shuttle.::
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: CIV: A man after my own heart. ::grins::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: They may be. But manners doesn’t cost anything
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: Now tell me about this stray you picked up?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ ::tongue in cheek::  CTO: They did knock.

@ACTION: The Rangers’ shuttle takes off and starts making slow circles above the whole clearing.

OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Packs her gear quickly, not worrying about how tidy it is, and gets behind the controls of the shuttle::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::looks apologetically at Donavin and then looks back to the CO to see where they're going::
Host Enrico says:
<Landry>: CO: Apparently your officers got in the middle of a man hunt or something. Now they rangers asked a warrant to search their house. I hope they know what they are doing.

#ACTION: Sidle gets in her shuttle and takes off.

FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#::Slides into the other seat.:: OPS: This is different, I'm not used to having someone else do the flying.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Landry: Typically, they do.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::laughs at Sin::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
CO: Sin would never disobey the law unless she had a darn good reason and the same goes for Adam and Kate too.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: You'll find I'm pretty much a do-it-yourselfer. You are one of the new crew, right? I think I saw you as we docked.
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
McKay: Just trying to keep up traditions, and all that. ::clears his throat and speaks lowly, overhearing pieces of the conversation between the other 3:: Sounds like trouble on the home front. You know how to reach me if something shows up to surprise us. If I can't get to you, there's people a lot closer with a lot more clout who can.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: Then there`s this. I found it in my pocket when i woke up ::hands Sin the cylinder::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: New? ::Smiles.:: Can't really say that, I'm old crew coming home.
Host Enrico says:
<Landry>: CO: I hope so, I would hate if you lost two officers before this mission. I guess we will have to go to the Rangers and settle the situation there.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: motions him to sit down::  As the storm struck, a man calling himself Highsmith began knocking on our door, asking for sanctuary.  He said he saw monsters that attached themselves to two men... those Rangers.  If he was doing drugs though... that would make sense to what he thought he saw.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Takes the cylinder and looks it over.::  CTO: What is it?
Host Enrico says:
<McKay> CIV: You mean that spirited woman you told me about. Looks like you like them with a temper. ::smiles::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: I don’t know, I was hoping you may know.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Lifts the shuttle off slowly and carefully:: FCO: Good, then I won't have to show you where your quarters is then. I'm Gina Hembrook, by the way, but everyone calls me Commander when I have my Operations Manager hat on. ::winks::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Scans it with her tricorder.::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: Sin can I ask you something?

#ACTION: the shuttles takes off and follows the CSI team's one.

CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
McKay: You have no idea. ::smirks, and steps away just enough so that he's got a better earshot at the conversation, though he still maintains conversational distance with McKay::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: reading the information:: CTO: Hmmm?
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Doctor Logan Cartwright, Lieutenant if you must when on duty.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: I was wondering something
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: Are you joining the Medical staff then?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ CTO: There appears to be some kind of a data chip in it.  :: Opens the cylinder and pours the item out onto her hand.::

@ACTION: The cylinder opens in half and inside the CSO finds a Starfleet standard data chip.

FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: No, I'm the new Flight Control Officer.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: I trained as a Registered Nurse before I joined the Fleet.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: If we were on the ship we could run an analysis on it.
Host Enrico says:
$<Delgado>CEO: It seems you are doing a great job. Congratulations. Now what do you think of these modifications?:: Passes him a PADD::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Well I guess that's two things we have in common, other than we'll need to get used to sitting beside each other.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Keeping her worry for her son in hand, walks over to the terminal and inserts the chip in an empty petition.::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: Well, between the two of us we should be able to patch up the Bridge crew when you crash the ship, and you know you will eventually. ::snickers::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::bites his lip as he works the courage up::
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$::takes the PADD and looks::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ CTO: Unfortunately, the ship is shut down to us.  And the contact I made was so garbled, it made no sense.
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Did I mention I'm also a certified Engineer?

@ACTION: When the data chip is inserted in the PADD, the face of a muscular man appears on the device's screen. The man's face is covered by a balaclava. Sha` is behind him, tied and held in place by two other people.

Host Enrico says:
@<Hooded_Man>: ALL: As you can see the young boy is with us. If you want to see him again we want to meet with your leader, in secret, in a location that will be communicated to you. Do not warn the authorities, we would know it and do not try to find us.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: I was CEO on the Dublin for half a year... before I went back to my real job as CTO.
Host Enrico says:
@<Hooded Man> ALL: We would know it as well. You have 24 hours to respond, in 24 hours we will contact you again for an answer. :: the video ends::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: gasps::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::stands and throws his rifle across the room swearing::
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Well I guess you got me there. I don't have much tactical training.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@*CO*: Captain I have a situation, can you go to a secure channel
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Slowly, feeling torn, turns to look at Adam, a glimmer of tears in her eyes.::  CTO: I do not understand.  What have we walked into?
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$<Delgado>:great idea sir I was all thinking for maybe make some more room to allow more power to flow.
CIV_Lt_jg_Arinoch says:
::shifts his attention evenly between Mckay and the growing tension::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@CSO: I swear Sin I’ll get him back
Host Enrico says:
$<Delgado>: CEO: Then why don't you design me a blueprint and we'll go from there.
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#FCO: I spent most of my career in Tactical or Special Operations, but I dabbled as CEO, and now OPS, and got an Axanar medal along the way for fixing a rampaging virus. My old boss Rico Polo called me the "Starfleet Swiss Army knife" ::laughs::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::begins swearing and cursing::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Steps away from the others, and lowers the volume on his commbadge to a level he would only be able to hear ::  *CTO*: This is as secure as I can get right now...
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@*OPS*: Commander can you go secure?
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@*CO*: Our son has been kidnapped
CEO_Ltjg_Harris says:
$<Delgado>: Yes sir I will get right on them.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ ::Her voice cold:: CTO: Take me back to where you last saw him.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::looks concerned as she hears Adam's voice::
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::switches channel to encrypted:: *CTO*: Go secure, channel two, gamma seven.
FCO_Lt_Cartwright says:
#OPS: Well I've been referred to as the All in Wonder Officer. ::Laughs.::
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::goes secure:: *OPS*: My sons been kidnapped commander
OPS_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*CTO*: I'm on my way to give some testimony to the Rangers on a case I found but I'll be there as soon as I'm finished. Give me your coordinates.
CTO_Lt_Wall says:
@::sends the co-ordinates::
