Summary:  When last we left the crew of the Tal-War, the XO was trying to find the assassins who have run amok with the crew.  The CO, CSO and other crew are trying to purchase a ship and making a bit of headway.

The CMO has passed out in the bar and the CTO has gone to find him.

<Lora>  :: glares at the CO ::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::Tobius is still sat at one of the vessels consoles with Lora on his lap and starts to fiddle with a few buttons::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Smiles cattily at Lora::  Lora: Is everything okay?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::arrives at the bar, looking around he searches through the masses of people::

Trader_Joe says:
All: So, do we have a deal?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Joe:  I think we defiantly do, what do you think ::looks at the CO::

<Lora>  CO:  Oh, everything is just fine.  :: snuggles closer to Wuer and nibbles his ear. ::  CSO:  Isn't that right?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::as he walks around he fights his urge to throw back a few drinks, forces himself to look around for the CMO::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Lora:  Everything’s just fine from were I'm sitting ::smiles::

<BarTender>   CTO:  What'll it be buddy?  :: sounding very stern ::

ACTION:  The CMO is slumped over a table in the corner.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks over at Tobius a little amused, but acting sullen::  CSO: I don't know Toby, darling.  I'm not quite sure about the extra, ehem, strings we are having to handle with this deal  ::shoots a killing look at Lora, trying not to double over with laughter in her head::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::looks at the bartender and chuckles:: Bartender: I'm not your buddy first off, but I will be if you don't give me what he had. ::he points to the CMO and laughs::

<BarTender>  :: chuckles :: CTO:  As long as you don't start nothing like he did, I'd say we have a deal.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Oh now, come on love... Toby has enough love for everyone.....  ::places his hand on Lora's leg and caresses it::

<Lora> :: looks at the CO and smirks and wiggles on the CSO's lap ::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::sits down at the bar, and tosses some latinum onto the counter:: Bartender: Give me something good. ::tries to hide his general distaste for the whole place::

<BarTender>  :: picks up the latinum, examines it then pockets it. :: CTO:  Coming right up.

Trader_Joe says:
Lora: Hon, trying to seal a deal here... CO: One focus at a time.  It's time to pay up, or get off my ship.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
All: Anyway enough of this, lets to business....  ::slaps Lora on the bum and moves to get up:: Lora: More later, I’m sure... but I need to work

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks disgustedly at Wuer::  CSO: Toby, I don't think we'd be able to handle having such latinum draining expenditures on board, if we accept this deal

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::as the bartender walks off he looks over at the CMO, trying to determine his condition, he shakes his head and chuckles to himself::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::shrugs::  CSO: Or at least accept this current offer.....

<BarTender>  :: brings back a bottle and glass and sits it in front of the CTO ::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Just give the guy the Latinum already Anny...

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
Bartender: Thanks, should I trust your judgement? ::hopes the bartender isn't too strong-minded as he tries to determine what the drink is in front of him::

<BarTender>  :: shrugs :: CTO:  Trust it or don't it's all the same to me.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Turns her back on Wuer, and flicks her long hair in his face:: CSO: You gave up pet names when you adopted a new puss...pet ::takes hold of her purse, and counts out the latinum::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::tired of the crap he stands up and heaves the CMO over his shoulder, and turns for the door:: Self: The gym couldn't prepare me for this one.

<Lora> :: purrs ::  CO:  That's right, just pay my brother and we can get on with this.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Now I'm sorry you feel that way Anny, but you'll always be a number one puss in my eyes....

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Wonders what Lora would do if she suddenly had her hair yanked out, as she passes Joe the money::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is suddenly very serious::  CSO: Then lets leave the trash behind, and go on as we were...holiday flings aren't worth dwelling on, and I’ll forgive you...

<Lora> :: smiles and wiggles some more on the CSO's lap ::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
:: pushes the door open with his foot and arrives outside the bar, he tosses the CMO on the ground ::

<Lora> :: shoots the CO a glare ::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
:: notes the CO's tone:: CO: Well yes, like I said we have business to attend to, I thought maybe they ::indicates Joe and Lora:: would be helpful to our cause

Trader_Joe says:
:: Puts his hands on his hips::  CO: Look, I'm going to have to insist on being paid.  I don't work on charity, hon

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Joe: Sweetie, you don't think that's rocks I just put in front of you? ::Looks patronisingly at him::  Lora: Not the brightest penny is he? Looks like it runs in the family...

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: But then we do have pretty serious business to attend too.... ::moves Lora off his lap and gets up::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: I'm not quite sure that we'll be taken seriously if we turn up with some bit off fluff attached to our ship, do you?

Trader_Joe says:
CO: Very well.  Enjoy your ship... and your company... :: moves to activate his transporter ::

<Lora>  CSO:  Your loss creep!  :: stalks over to Joe , tossing her hair in the CO's face as she goes ::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: I hate to see sore losers, don't you?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Lora: Sorry love it could get dangerous and I'd hate you to damage that beautiful face and body of yours

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
*CO/CSO*: I’ve located Mr. Barabas and we’re on our way to your location, wherever you are.  
:: Fiddles with his clothes and chuckles again at the CMO ::

ACTION: Some sort of interference prevents the CTO from reaching the CO or CSO

Trader_Joe says:
Lora: Seems they don't want you around.  Let's go, sis.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Well then Anny, better get prepped for launch ::slaps the CO on the arse, using his last bit of luck up before the others leave::

<Lora>  Joe:  Looks that way Joe.  Let's go!

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Self: Looks like she got the hint....

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Lora: Hopefully, I'll pop back and take up a good time with you hon.... I’ll miss you

Trader_Joe says:
:: Grabs Lora by the arm and slaps his transporter recall signal, mumbling that he hopes these people get what's coming to them ::

<Lora>  :: just as the transporter is taking effect :: CSO:  In your dreams!

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::As the transport takes effect on the other two, she turns round to Wuer::  CSO: Now, we aren't Starfleet, but sure the hell aren't lovers.  The slapping can stop now. ::smiles at him quickly to show she isn't angry, as long as it stops here::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Sorry, I was just getting into the part a bit too much ::smiles back:: it stops now sure

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::heads over to the flight control console::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
:: He shoots a look at  the passed out CMO ::

ACTION: The CTO puts the passed out CMO over his shoulder and goes looking for the CO.
 
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: You want to take the helm? We need to get to this auction.  You've had your allocation of fun for this away mission.  Just don't tell too many stories to the rest of the crew, they'll all except their aways to have the perks yours did..

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Hey after what we've been through recently we deserve a few perks  ::sits down and brings up navigational control:: okay inputting the co-ordinates

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: I think you were the only one getting some perks earlier, unless you count Lora of course

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: I don't know, if you'd played your cards right ::stops himself before he gets in to deep::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Oooooh! ::Laughs at the end of the sound::  Just get us to the auction Toby, before the auction finishes or you get slapped!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO:  Aye aye.  I'll just keep my ayes on the view screen :: Brings up the view ahead on the rather small screen::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::starts the impulse engines and moves the ship for launch::

ACTION:  The Ship the CO and CSO are on is launched.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::as the ship takes off and rises up into orbit, he makes preps for warp::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Thanks to you...influence, we got this vessel at a pinch of what its worth. Gives us plenty of leeway on the auction price

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Do you think Starfleet will want me to give Seminars on my unique bargaining technique?  ::turns to the CO and laughs::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: I'm sure you are more than qualified to be the personal tutor!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: I'd certainly try my best.... Do you have access to Tactical systems back there?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks around her:: CSO: I appear to. Want me to check something>?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: It occurred to me we have a missing CMO and CTO, wondered if you could find them on scanners?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Oh and also I was concerned that the shield systems are working

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Shields are fine.  I'll start looking for our vagrant wanderers

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Sets off a scan for the other two::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The CO picks up three com badge signals....the CTO, CMO and CO's com badges are all active on the planet.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Were in orbit now. I'll leave of on jumping to warp until the status of our other crew are found

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Self: I'm down there?  :: Pats herself where her badge should be, and remembers the boy::  Self: That sneaks thief!!

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
:: Starts to initialise a Morse code to the CTO/CMO through their comm. badges, to inform them that they are to be transported to the vessel, and sets it to run 6 times::

Host Jules says:
ACTION: At about the same time the CO discovers her com badge missing, the XO arrives at the planet where the assassins are.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Any ideas how to retrieve a comm. badge from a boy thief with a slimy squid?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: If we lock onto all three comm. badges we could just beam them all up, but I can't promise what will turn up along with yours....

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: But the prime directive....
