USS Sharikahr Mission #349
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.
Not much has changed in the 20 minutes past from last mission, but the Sharikahr's communications array have been able to pick communications between the Bush Ranger and the Opportunity II, Mc Kay's ship. After five minutes this exchange was interrupted and now Mc Kay is hailing again.
The general feeling is that crucial events may happen very soon. Will Savar and his crew let the crooked ex spook get away or will they find a way to stop them?
Do not change channel and you will discover it.

:: Standing next to the CTO waiting for their final orders.::
Teyol says:
:: At the science station, waiting...::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::finishing with securing his gear, then glances sideways at Sin::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Standing in the center of the Bridge ::
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Gets out her copy of the Dies Irae worm her friend Captain Polo gave her and uploads it into the COM system ready to send it on its way::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::standing next to the CO:: CO: May I use your ready room. I need to concentrate in order to establish a correct contact.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: nods ::  XO: That would be acceptable.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::checks his sleeves, the knives he'd placed there are perfectly secure, just gives a nod to himself::
Host Enrico says:
<Varn>: CO: Mc Kay is on line one cap'n.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
OPS: On screen, Lieutenant.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Makes the attempt to contact the Bushranger covertly and upload the worm to do its job::

ACTION: Mc Kay concerned features once again appear on screen.

Teyol says:
CTO: Might I suggest a diversion?  By the time we are in range, they will have picked us up before we could do anything.  Their thoughts would probably be the more obvious.
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: COM: CO: Captain I have been able to contact Thras. But I had no luck. I suggested them we would give them the Bush Ranger and send with them whoever wants to come back if they agreed to an exchange with the hostages. But he rejected the offer. He said that he could not trust Starfleet not to try to infiltrate his ship, and that he has no resources to make thorough checks of the people who would like to come aboard. He claims he will release the hostages once he is back in Federation space. But there is something terribly fishy here.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
Teyol: I'm open to ideas.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over toward her cousin::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::goes to the ready room, calls up an image of the Bushranger on the screen and concentrates on sending her mind toward it::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: McKay: Do you have suspicions, or merely an indicate of something out of place?
Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: COM: CO: When I suggested they get at least some of the vaccine for the plague aboard he told me they do not need it. And they can't expect Starfleet will leave them alone once they are back in the Federation anyway. There must be something else. Although I cannot prove it.
Teyol says:
CTO:  They know the Minerva is there... use them in some fashion to draw their attention in some way.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Speaks quietly to the CO so only he can hear:: CO: It would help us a great deal if I could get Mr. McKay to talk to them again, I need the COM access to the Bushranger Captain.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: McKay: Is Thras still willing to speak to you or us?
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::puts a finger to his lips as one of his security teams reports in, he acknowledges it, then nods to Teyol, indicating his understanding:: CSO/ACEO/Teyol: New priority, ladies and gentleman. Bushranger's new commanding officer has been connected to mister Bundy's death aboard Santa Fe.
Host Enrico says:
COM: CO: Yes, but we need to come up with something. Delay them.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CTO: All the more reason to take him down.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
ACEO: That's the plan, commander.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::feels the success of getting to the Bushranger and begins to telepathically scan it for telepathic minds::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: New priority in what way?
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CTO: If you don't mind I'd like to go with your teams Lt., in case there are any surprises over there. I'd be best qualified to disarm anything nasty.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: McKay: Perhaps I can pick up on something when we speak to him.
Host Enrico says:
<McKay> COM: CO: I will try to contact him again
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Connects the Shari into McKay’s Com on piggyback and prepares to send the worm once contact is established::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
ACEO: I'm gonna need someone at tactical when I get in. If this guy's connected with Bundy's death, there's a damn good chance he's connected with the fleet's other convenient problems.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CTO: I'll be happy to help wherever I might be needed.

ACTION: For the moment it looks as if the hijackers are not communicating with anyone. Then after a few tense seconds their computer opens up communication protocols.

ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Attempts to slip the Dies Irae in as soon as the channel opens::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Assumes a relaxed posture, with his right hand grabbing his left wrist behind his back ::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::just nods, turning back to Sin:: CSO: No change in plans, Sin. Just priorities. We're not dealing with a band of fed up colonists here. This is the real thing.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Thras: Mister Thras?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Alright... we are ready when you need us.   Do you want me to come with you?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::feels out what should be the Starfleet hostage and attempts to contact one of the Vulcans:: ~~~Vulcan Starfleet  Hostage: Can you hear me~~~
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Sets the worm to infiltration and reconnaissance mode probing the defenses and looking for a way to neutralize them::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: She catches the faint shake of her cousins head::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::considers for perhaps a moment, then shakes his head:: CSO: How are you at tactical? I think I may have another idea.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: I am as good as needed.
Host Enrico says:
<Te'rol>~~~XO: Yes commander I can hear you perfectly~~~.
Teyol says:
:: Turns away back to the sensors::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: As the seconds tick by without response, he raises an eyebrow, but figures he should keep talking ::  COM: Thras: Mister Thras, this is Captain Savar of the USS Sharikahr.  I was hoping we could talk, Starfleet officers.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: Good. You should be close enough still to remote pilot it from here. Call me paranoid, but I like to have backup.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Te'rol: You are one of Thras's Starfleet hostages, correct.~~~
Teyol says:
CO: No change in the situation.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Whispers:: CTO: I'm in... and I'm trying to neutralize the cyber defenses before I proceed. We'll only get one shot at this. If it works, it will be like us getting the prefix code, but it won't be able to be changed. We'll have the whole computer under our control.'
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hearing the aCEO, moves toward the auxiliary station and hooks up the PADD she has set up.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<as Starfleet officers>
Host Enrico says:
<Te'rol>~~~XO: That is correct Commander, LtJG Te'rol, engineer~~~
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
ACEO: Good. Let me know when that's done. ::turns back to the CSO:: CSO: When she's in and you have control, bring her to a dead stop. Let Sharikahr get within weapons range, then have Bushranger match her speed.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CTO: I should be able to drop the shields and do anything else you need if it works. If things go as they are now I may have core access in about 10 minutes.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Te'rol: I need to know what the situation is in regards to your confinement~~~
Host Enrico says:
<Thras>: COM: CO: Captain Savar, what a pleasure.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lowers her voice for his ears alone:: CTO: Clarification.  Once we are in range, you want the Bushranger to return to warp, at our speed heading back to the colony ships?
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: No, away. If we do lose control, he's not taking down any more of the colony ships than the one.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: nods slowly ::  COM: Thras: Master Thras.  A surprise to speak to you... our records indicated you had died.  It seems that our records are incorrect.
Host Enrico says:
<Te'rol>:~~~XO: the others and I are confined in a service room close to the recreation facility. We are split in two groups. Zarate is with me but he is hurt. They took our badges.~~~
Host Enrico says:
<Thras>: COM: CO: Records are unreliable Captain. Although I do not mind being considered a ghost.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Te'rol: Do you know where the other group is confined?~~~
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Thras: You had quite a career with Starfleet, I understand, Lieutenant Commander.  An impressive list of accomplishments and positions.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: Which leads me to my next point. If at any point we lose control of the ship,  there are cells set up with level 10 force fields, heavily guarded. Lock onto anything and everything on the bridge, and beam them there. We'll sort it out later.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: quietly:: CTO: Nor will the captain allow him that one.  He has already said he will let it go before seeing any of those people harmed.
Host Enrico says:
<Te'rol>~~~XO: No Commander, they split us up. There are two armed guards out of the door. That much I know.~~~
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
<place CSO before>
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
<switch my last with karri's last>
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Understood.
Host Enrico says:
<Thras>: COM: CO: Yes it was interesting until it lasted. Very good training and I actually did not mind the Dominion War.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Continues working to get past the defenses and assume control of the Bushranger computer::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Te'rol: Are there any booby traps around you?~~~
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: awaits Hembrook’s confirmation she is in.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Thras: And yet you left?  Why?
Host Enrico says:
<Te'rol>~~~XO: Not that I know, but I would find logical if there were some. These people seem extremely well trained.~~~
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
ACEO: Let me know when you're in, and then meet me in the shuttle bay.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
~~~~ Teyol:  I give you the charge of beaming those on the bridge into the cells.  Once I am in, I am going to work on a signal to disrupt any they send for detonation. ~~~~
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CTO: Will do.
Teyol says:
:: nods his head::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::walks off the bridge, and requests the bay in question, ordering as he goes a type II phaser be outfitted with gear for the engineer::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Te'rol: Thank you for the information. Were any of your Vulcan colleagues with the other group?~~~
Host Enrico says:
<Thras>: COM: CO: Got tired of the useless killing Captain. What other reason there is? Money? Power? ::grins:: you pick one.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look at Hembrook, her fingers hovering over the buttons.::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gets off the lift, and enters the shuttle bay, collecting his phaser rifle as he goes::
Host Enrico says:
<Te'rol>: ~~~XO: There were other two Vulcans in the other team.~~~
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CSO: I'm having to take the slow way, we only get one chance at this, and there are 5,000 people waiting on us. Patience. ::whispered quietly to keep it off the COM::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Thras: I have to admit I find that position an interesting one, especially considering the positions you were in.  Is there such things as useful killings?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Te'Rol: Can I have a name please it will make contact easier~~~

ACTION: Suddenly the CEO's monitor reports that is under scrutiny by an EC application of the core computer.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: simply watches, waiting::
Host Enrico says:
<Thras>: COM: CO: Any killing that keeps you alive is useful. And avoids wasting time talking. What do you want Savar?
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Tells the worm to do an end run and take the EC out from a different direction::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::yells orders at his team as they grab their gear and head for the assigned shuttles:: Team: Hembrook's commanding strike team 2. ::lifts a gloved hand to forestall objections about an engineer leading an assault team:: That's how it goes. You don't like it? Talk to me after we're done blowing things up.

ACTION: The worm reports having avoided scans and starts penetrating the core computer defenses.

ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Continues monitoring things and letting the worm do its work::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::has one of his team go ahead and start preflight, notes the other shuttles are doing the same::
Host Enrico says:
<Te'rol>~~~XO: Sa'lar, commander, Tactical Officer.~~~
Teyol says:
:: pin points each of those on the bridge on a tactical screen he has pulled up on the console.::

ACTION: The worm reports it is inside the other ship's command center and it is replicating itself to take control.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Te'rol: Thank you~~~~ ::break the contact with Te'rol::~~~Sa'lar: Can you hear me?~~~
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CSO: Stand by... we're in the core and replicating to take over the systems. ::said quietly::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: barely nods her head::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Thras: I think that is a question you already know the answer to.  I seek a resolution to both our issues, preserving as much as possible for both of us.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Stand by Lt. ... the games afoot. Be aware we will only have about a 30 minute operational window once we start, so time is of the essence.
Host Enrico says:
<Thras>: COM: CO: Then the more you leave me alone the better for the both of us. The people of this ship will be free to go once I reach my destination.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Sa'lar: Sa'lar, I need to speak with you~~~
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods  unseen to the engineer:: *ACEO*: 30 minutes will work. Just say the word then bolt it down here.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Walks over to the CO to whisper in his ear:: CO: I have control, ready when you are Captain.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Thras: You were a Starfleet officer.  You understand the distress of being held hostage against their will.  You swore an oath to not use sentient people for your own purposes.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: holds up a finger to the engineer, waiting to see what Thras says in reply ::
Host Enrico says:
<Thras> COM: CO: Another boring moral pep talk and I may kill one of them just for the fun of it...Captain you bore me.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Walks over to the CSO and changes the setup of her console and connects to the worm:: CSO: It's all yours.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Heads for the TL at a trot and orders the TL to the shuttle bay::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: taps in the commands::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Thras: This is not a pep talk, Lieutenant Commander.  This is an offer.  Maybe sometimes things don't go your way, but that doesn't give you the right to determine everyone else's fates.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::walks over to a wall panel as the ACEO arrives, and sends a text message to the CO:: Assault teams are at standby for your order, sir.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At the connection, takes control of their sensors and swiftly switches it to the back up sensor readings she had recorded earlier.::
Host Enrico says:
<Thras> COM: CO: You really bored me now. Don't you think I am a little beyond that kind of scruples? Come on? OK time to cut this conversation. These are my requests..both your ship and the  Minerva go out of transporter range or I will kill your officers.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Checks her gear and boards the shuttle, gets her weapons prepared::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Once that is secure, works to get control of flight and simply waits then for the captain's orders to proceed or not.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looks at So'tsoh and gives a silent nod ::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Taking a deep breath, turns back around and brings the Bushranger down to warp one.::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::moves into his shuttle, and battens down the hatches:: *shuttles*: We have launch time 30 seconds from go. Acknowledge.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Shuttle 2 acknowledged.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: sends an electronic signal to Donavin the Bushranger is down to warp one.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::breaks the contact and sends a text message to the CTO and ACEO aboard their shuttles to let them know everything that Te'rol told her::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, and remotely opens the bay doors:: *shuttles*: All units, form up on me. It's go time!
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::initiates the launch sequence as soon as the doors start opening::
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Follows the CTO's shuttle::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::sends signal back along the same electronic frequency to the CSO:: *CSO*: See if you can get those shields down.

ACTION: Five shuttles leave the Sharikahr’s shuttle bays and streak toward the Bush Ranger

ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Sets a course to dock with the docking hatch nearest Engineering on the Bushranger::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods as the message comes in.::
Host Enrico says:
<Thras>: COM: CO: While you think it through, I have other things to worry about. Thras out.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@*Shuttles*: All units, find us a place to latch onto and let's train these boys.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: As soon as the communications channel is closed ::  CSO: Commander, they have activated a transporter inhibitor at least on the Bridge.  I heard it.
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Solid Copy... I'm heading for the boiler room.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hearing the captain, nods and works on getting a lock on those.::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::redirects his shuttle for the bridge,  and moves to dock::
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
@::Moves to dock near Engineering::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Activates the command to bring them down and then finishes locking onto their shield commands.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Deactivates primary shields, leaving up the navigational deflector::
Teyol says:
:: Watching his console for the shields to come down.::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::watches his other teams find docking ports of their own to secure themselves to::

ACTION:  With the shields disabled the CTO's and CEO shuttle dock in their respective airlocks.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::his team readies their weapons, and Donavin scans the area outside the shuttle::
ACEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Gets up and leads her team into the Bushranger, all weapons set to Heavy Stun, stun grenades ready and tricorders scanning for surprises::
Teyol says:
:: Notes the shields are down::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::stumbles out of the Ready Room, her head is pounding:: CO: I got what information I could. I contacted a Starfleet EO. The hostages were separated. Te'rol's group is confined in a service room close to the recreation facility.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: checks back on the transport inhibitors.::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::sees the coast clear, his team forms up and they move quickly towards the bridge::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: Our team is away...
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: I sent a message to the CTO and ACEO telling them that.
Teyol says:
:: Works on getting a lock on all the bridge personnel::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain, I cannot get a lock on the inhibitors.  They are separate from the system.
