U.S.S. Tal-War mission, I See Trees of Green.  Stardate 10402.28.
Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS:  The Tal-War has returned to Deep Space Twenty-One while the investigation into the Finotan Cruiser and its involvement with the populace of the Sixth Planet in the GBW-710 Star System continues.
Host Chris_N says:
The Federation's station of diplomacy in the far reaches of space has begun to falter.   The Finotan Ambassador has left the station for Finota as well as several of their smaller allegiances.
Host Chris_N says:
DS-21's commander, Jeffrey Krakalovich, has requested the presence of the Tal-War's Command staff in his office while the rest of the Tal-War crew are, at least for now, permitted to enjoy the station's hospitality mingling with the various other races and station personnel.

@Krakalovich:  Apparently so Sir.

Shania: You always want a mocca with vanilla, of course normal you order the tube size
Host Chris_N says:
@<Krakalovich> XO: And you were apparently in contact with the Finotan Cruiser stating you were protecting them as ordered?

@::Follows the smell as it leads him to a restaurant on the promenade of the station::
XO_Jameson says:
@Krak: I was in contact with the vessel Sir
FCO_Shania says:
Kert: It's coffee!

@<Krakalovich> XO: So you did not tell them you were under orders to protect the planet.

@Krak: I informed them that we had been requested by a 'higher power' to protect the inhabitents of the planet Sir

@<Krakalovich> XO: Hmmm....  ::taps console scrolling through screens::  I see.  And this higher power would be?
XO_Jameson says:
@Krak: Dr Creason

@::walks up to the counter and asks what it is he's smelling::
FCO_Shania says:
Kert: So which way? ::looks left and right::
Host Chris_N says:
@<Krakalovich> XO: I see.  CO/XO So you are saying...  ::looks up from his console and directly into the eyes of the XO and CO::  ...that Doctor Creason "requested" ::pausing for suggestion::  the Tal-War's assistance in the matter.  Correct?
OPS_Hunter says:

Host CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Did you sense anything... unusual... from him?
TO_MacAllister says:
::savours the food then decides to check out the gaming establishments::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::stops and looks around the promenade::
XO_Jameson says:
CO: If i had to look at it totally clinically and precisely to the rules, both of us would be scrubbing the hull.  Maybe he's had a change of heart? or a personality transfusion? ::looks hopeful::
TO_MacAllister says:
Laquonan: Depends what the stakes are.
Host Chris_N says:
<Waitress> ::making notes on an electronic pad:: FCO: You sure can ma'am.  Will there be anything else?

Waitress: I get an extra large piece of that then.
TO_MacAllister says:
Laquonan: Except that I rarely have enough latinum to line my pockets, let alone gamble it.
Host CO_Kyrron says:

Host Chris_N says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< PAUSE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Chris_N says:
SCENERY:  The FCO finds herself still on Deep Space Twenty-One, however the station appears very different than before.  Instead of a clean brightly lit station as one would expect of the United Federation of Planets, it appears very dark and dirty complete with faltering light and fallen bulkheads.
Host Chris_N says:
The station is not abandoned but is now manned by some form of civilian force using the station as a cargo transfer location for their leaders.
Host Chris_N says:
DS-21 still holds the computer systems and symbols of Starfleet, however much of it is no longer operating at peek efficiency.
Host Chris_N says:
Instead of being commanded by Jeffrey Krakalovich, the new civilian commander is Eli Irvin, a man doing whatever is necessary to satisfy his insidious dark leaders.  His second in command is Stephanie Uax, an equally vile individual who has been known to order the medical officer Anya Jameson to dismember prisoners for the thrill.
Host Chris_N says:
Station Security is handled by the cold brutality of John Shack whose name has sent chills up the spines of millions over the last few years.
Host Chris_N says:
The oppressors have an enemy, the Resistance force led by a once gentle soul whose heart has grown black with hatred and remorse.  This woman has slaughtered countless people in service of the dark force that has taken over the Alpha quadrant.  This woman's name… Tria Kyrron.
Host Chris_N says:
Her most trusted and Number One Soldier is Ethan MacAllister, a man known to balance out the darkness of his effective commander with his merciful opinions.
Host Chris_N says:
The Resistance Force's handyman has successfully saved their hides in more situations than any one man or woman could count.  His effective skills in mechanics are succeeded by his enormous piloting techniques.  The Resistance would not be here today, if it were not for Kert Hunter's abilities.
Host Chris_N says:
Which leads to the final member of the senior officers in the battle for freedom, Alexei Bost'k.  Alexei is a peaceful man who has never lifted a finger to help destroy or injure other life forms.  He helps the Resistance only in the interest of freedom, and his service is one of healing the sick.
Host Chris_N says:
These freedom fighters are currently planning to infiltrate the old DS-21 to acquire or destroy a device that will help the dark oppressors with the acquisition of more territory and ability to enslave more innocent lives.  They are currently en-route via a decrepit old freighter pretending to transport more supplies for Irvin's bosses.
