TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::sat at tac1 prodding at the console::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::sits with his legs propped up on the console ::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::checks they are still on target for ETA and that warp is holding::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is sitting on the floor, with her back against a bulkhead, and the bag under her feet, reading some materials about the auction::

Chase says:
::looks at CTO Rowe and walks closer to him with a grin on his face::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::glances at Chase somewhat without notice and closes his eyes trying to relax::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::sitting at OPS adjusting power::

ACTION:  The proximity alarms go off at the Ops station.

Chase says:
::leans up and tries to press a few buttons on TAC console::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::blinks and looks over to OPS::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: Captain, we are receiving a proximity alert.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Anny, looks like we're about an hour from our destination now....

ACTION:  Outside is a large warship not unlike what the Orions use.

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::with his eyes still closed he grabs Chase's hand:: Chase: Never will you touch that again.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: Thati, keep an eye out for other vessels that are also heading for our destination.  It'll be good to know in advance who our competition may be

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::runs a few tactical scans on the warship::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Proceeds to ignore OPS, as they called her Captain, and she isn't on this UNDERCOVER mission::

Chase says:
::pulls his hands away and speaks mockingly:: CTO: Never will you touch that again....::speaks normally:: but I'm bored

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CTO: Hey, Thati... you seen this? That ship's wanted by the federation... I wonder what they did.

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
:: leans up and actually does work he starts tapping away at the console:: CO: Anya, there is something you would be interested in seeing.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Pretends to suddenly notice the ship:: OPS: Who does that belong to? ::gestures at the vessel::

ACTION:  The system is full of ships, small, large and some in between.  You have Ferengi, Klingon, Orion.. Cardassian, every known race under the sun.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Chase: Hey Chase, want to help drive again ::smiles at Thati, who is not so good with kids::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: It looks much like an Orion vessel.  Hold on.  ::runs the hull design through the computer::

Chase says:
CSO: Drive the ship? But you fire the weapons from here right?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::looks at the TO:: TO: I'm sure something against the Federation, perhaps?

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CTO: I have no idea but they're running with weapons hot.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: I'm also picking up vessels of varied designs from varied races, Klingon, Cardassian even the Orions

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: Keep an eye on the Orion Thati,  they could be trouble.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::misaligns some power output and the TO's console sparks::  TO: Sorry

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Chase: No this is the helm, you no you helped me drive before

Chase says:
CSO: But I want to stay with him ::grabs the CTO's leg::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
OPS: Any markings on the Klingon ship? Do we know which family, or any details?

Host Orion says:
@COM: Tal War:  The is the Excell and you are impinging on our space.  Leave now.  ::Comes on screen and he is green as the grass outside.::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::jumps back as the console spits sparks at him:: OPS: HEY! Gonnae no dae tha!!

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
TO: I want to you make sure that if we need to defend ourselves we can.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: Checking  ::compares scans of the Klingon vessel with known family markings::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: You have a really important job Toby...can you get me a coffee?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::brings up some TAC scans on the Orion ship, searching for anything:: CO: Anya, with all due respect, I don't think we stand much of a chance. ::tries to shake Chase off of his leg::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Well Anny, you want me to stick this thing on autopilot!

Chase says:
::pretty much ignores what’s going on around him and holds tighter to the CTO's leg::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CO: Against that thing? unless we've got something a damn sight bigger than these pea shooters stashed aboard somewhere I think our best bet is to turn and run if they pick a fight.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::turns to the CO and shakes his head::  CO: No markings at all on the Klingon ship to identify her.  She may be hiding something.  ::turns back to his console his hand brushing some unknown key by accident::

ACTION:  Since nobody replied, the Orions fire a warning shot across the bow of the ship.  A little close.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::grips the console instinctively as the warning shot rumbles by::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Well, you slapped my arse. you owe me....but if it means we crash, don't bother

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::performs evasive manoeuvres::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::squeals:: All: YIPE!

ACTION:  Suddenly the ship comes to a dead stop after the Gopher disengages the power to the ship.  All the lights go off.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: By the way, we are being hailed

Chase says:
:;finally releases the CTO's leg:: CTO: Let me do something

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
OPS: Maybe we should contact the Orion.  Looks like we upset them#

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::looks around::  All: What happened?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Self: Damm

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Doesn't seem we can get the staff these days....

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::begins frantically hitting random keys on the console trying to return power to the ship::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::when the lights go out he stops then slowly speaks:: Chase: If you don't leave me alone you will never do anything EVER again.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  OPS: Thanks for the warning.  Open a channel

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::peeks out from the console:: OPS: Ok, what did you do to the lights?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: I would but someone seems to have accidentally shut off all power

ACTION:  Power suddenly comes back on as Gopher hits the correct button.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::looks at the TO shrugging::

Chase says:
::looks up at the CTO with wet eyes and a puppy look::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
OPS: Bravo! now don't touch that one again.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::opens a channel to the Orion vessel::  CO: Channel open

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
OPS: Well, we have power now, and I don't want to be destroyed by upsetting people by not picking up the phone

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::begins looking at the console wondering which one it was::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: Phone?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
COMM: Orion vessel: Orion vessel, we are a peaceful Karemman trader vessel.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Mutters::  OPS: You should read ancient literature more...

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::keeps the ship on course to the planet, keeping them far enough away from other ships without appearing to be too far away::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::tapping at his console he looks down at Chase:: Chase: Have you ever been told you are annoying?

Host Orion says:
@COM:CO: Don't particularly care, just leave.  There is nothing at this auction for you.  ::Smiles::  But then again, I think you may make me some money.  Have you considered the entertainment business?

Chase says:
CTO: Did anyone ever tell you that you're a meany

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::considers replicating a telephone from the 20th::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CO: Why???  It’s so.... ancient.  ::begins trying to look busy hitting controls on the console and accidentally beams the CTO to the opposite side of the bridge rematerializing upside down::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::smacks his head on the deck and looks around rubbing his head::

Chase says:
::sees the CTO beam away and takes the opportunity to look better at the TAC console::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::moves to the TAC console and brushes Chase out of the way::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::looking over at the CTO::  CTO: How did you get there?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Stands, and raises an eyebrow slightly::  COMM: Orion: Why, what are you suggesting?  I don't think me any my meagre crew have the skills you desire.  Surely we can't be a threat.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CTO: Want me to beam you to Sickbay?

Chase says:
::presses the "Fire" button on the TAC console::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
OPS: Sickbay, you’ll be lucky.....

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::looks up at OPS very very closely and his eyes widen with anger:: OPS: YOU!

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::swats Chase's hand hard and cancels the fire request::

ACTION:  A photon torpedo is dispatched hitting the Orion starboard nacelle.  It beings to list...and the Orion suddenly disappears off the screen.

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
Self: Crap!

Chase says:
TO: Cool!

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::smiles recognizing the CTO::  CTO: Thati!!!  How have you been??

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::stands utterly emotionless in front of the OPS::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Raises a hand to her forehead, and gives a sigh::  CSO: Get us towards the auction, faster!

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
Chase: you WANT to die?!?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
CTO: I think you hit your head a little too hard.  Let me beam you to Sickbay.  ::begins reaching for the console::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
OPS: Where did you come from I hoped....thought you were dead?!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::checks course and heading:: CO: Anny maybe you should make some sort of announcement over the comm....

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
TO: Have you painted the torpedo release button red, and written fire on it or something?

Chase says:
::chuckles::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::smiles at the CTO::  CTO: Oh my Auntie Rachel thought the crew could use my expertise so she had me assigned here.

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CO: Not me Anya, try Thati.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Such as what Toby? Sorry, my crew is so incompetent that they 'accidentally' fired a photon?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: It seems to me we didn't want to destroy the Orion vessel, but we may as well take full advantage

Chase says:
TO/CO: They fired first! I was helping

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
Chase: Just go stand over there!

ACTION:  After slow going and interfering Orions.  The beleaguered crew have reached the planet.  An automated message comes throw with the time of the Auction and the coordinate where it's taking place.  Also there is an invitation to watch some sports and participate if so desired.  The Amazons want to show off their prowess.  All females invited to attend.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Something along the lines... "We are hear for peaceful negotiation, but we shall not be harassed

Chase says:
TO: I can't help from over there! ::walks over to the CTO again and stands in-between him and OPS::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Smiles a little at Chase::  Chase: I know you are, why don't you stay near me, and away from the buttons at the moment.  But when I talk to the people on the other ships, you have to be quiet, okay?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::fights the urge to choke the OPS, he walks to TAC and literally tosses Chase aside::

Chase says:
::falls down and sits on the floor getting ready to cry really loud::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::puts the ship into Orbit::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::spots Chase::  Chase: Aren't you a little cutie.  ::sees what the CTO did he reaches for the console in response::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Nods at Toby::  OPS: Can you send that out?

Chase says:
::starts crying deafeningly loud::

ACTION:  Gopher hits the transport button again and Thati finds him self three decks down.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Will do.  ::begins sending the information hoping he got the translation correct::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Seems we've arrived Anny....

Chase says:
::face is going red from crying, still sat on the floor::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
OPS: put a gag on him will ya!

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::looks around slowly he pulls his phaser, sighs and tucks it back in his clothes. He begins the walk back up.....cursing..... a lot::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
TO: Stop being so harsh H'rrd.  He's only a child!

Chase says:
::crying, gets up and goes to the TO and kicks his leg::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
TO: I didn't throw him around like  a rag doll.  Chase: It's ok  ::whispers::  You know what will make you feel better?  Going back there and kicking the CTO in the leg.

ACTION:  Suddenly Gopher transports the whole crew to the surface.  The materialize within a field.  The games are going on.  Sword fighting.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Kneels down again next to Chase::  Chase: We'll ignore him for the moment.  Do you want to talk about your squid again?

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CO: Then technically he shouldn't be on the bridge... hey there's an idea... ::taps a few buttons on his console::

Chase says:
::hears the TO and screams louder and kicks him again:: CO: Please no! let me stay

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::finds himself on the surface::  CO: Who did that?

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::rubs his leg::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::looks around him, sees the sword-play and gets excited::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Sternly:: TO: Now stop it.  You are acting like a child as well.  You know the circumstances why he's here.  Now drop it.#

Chase says:
::calms down a bit:: CO: My squid...yes... ::stops crying, his face red, pulls at the CO's clothes and wipes his eyes on them::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CO: What can I say... he brings it out of me. ::looks around:: now what?

ACTION:  Suddenly the crew are surrounded by large women with swords.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::feels naked without his console then briefly wonders at that thought looking down at himself to check::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Smiles a little at her hem being used as a tissue, and as she gently strokes his hair, her other hand checks her comm. badge is still hidden::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::walks along next to the CO:: Women: Well, hello lovely ladies.......

ACTION:  Gopher is naked and he dematerialized his clothes.

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::spots all the women:: Self: Ooooooo

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the swords, and them smiles genially::

Chase says:
::looks up at the large women and wonders if one of them could be his mommy::

Orion is now known as Tona.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::seeing a large woman's feet at his own feet he looks up::  Amazon: Howdy?  Plans for tonight?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::steps in front of the CO and stands aggressively::

Host Tona says:
CSO:  And what are you?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::noticing her sword he covers up those areas quickly::

Host Tona says:
<Woman> ::Smacks gopher over the head with her sword.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Taps Thati on the shoulder, and gestures that he should stand next to her::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::points at Gopher and laughs::

Host Tona says:
CTO:  Step aside... I will speak with her.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::falls to the ground dizzy::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::moves next to her keeping his eyes locked with Tona's::

Chase says:
::moves closer to the CO a bit scared:: Out Loud: They're HUGE!

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Woman: Please, I know he's annoying, but don't hurt any of my men

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Tona: We are here at your gracious invitation of the auction.... we are most grateful to be here on your planet

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Pulls Chase in next to her:: Chase: They are called Amazons.  But you should be quiet, you don't want to upset them

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::from the ground raises his hand::  All: Anyone have any clothes?  A towel?  A pillow case?  A Face cloth?

Martijn (~-@odn-9BB660F6.ndwrt1.lb.home.nl) has joined the conversation.

Host Tona says:
CO: If you are able, you can win yourself a crew of able women and get rid of these week men.  You will be the envy of all crews.

ACTION:  The women giggle at Gopher.  Men are not suppose to be clothed.

Chase says:
::lets himself be pulled in close to the CO and wipes the rest of his tears on her trousers::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
OPS: Seems you forgot to beam them down with us.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Smiles, a little amused::  Tona: But men have their uses.  Although I can't deny more women wouldn't be a bad thing....

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Tona: I meant no disrespect if I spoke out of tone ::lowers his head::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::elbows the CO and pulls Chase behind him, putting his hand on his shoulder in an effort to comfort him::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Gestures for all the men, including Gopher, to stand behind her, except chase at her side::

Host Tona says:
CSO:  At least you have been taught manners.  Maybe we have some use for you.  Sella is looking for a new secretary.  Would you be interested?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
TO: Really?  That's odd.  ::standing still a little dizzy while trying to cover himself::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: I'm afraid he's not able to accept that.  These men are mine

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::shuffles behind the CO::

Chase says:
::looks up and sees the CTO and is torn between staying with the nice CO or the mean CTO::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::stands behind the CO probably a little too close with his bare bottom::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Tona: It is a most gracious offer, but I am the assistant of my master ::indicates the CO::

Host Tona says:
::Smiles sweetly::  CO: Then I'll fight you for them.  15 minutes.  You will have choice of weapons.

Host Tona says:
CSO:  We shall see.  ::Laughs::

Chase says:
::snickers when he sees OPS's bottom::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes a subtle step forward, before anyone else notices Gopher's impropriority, and hits him for it::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::steps behind the CO:: ~~~CO: I can't let you do that.~~~

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::rubs his head::  CO: Hey that hurt.  Aunty Rachel is going to hear about this.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Shakes her head::  Tona: I'm not here to fight, you or anyone.  These men wish to stay with me.

Host Tona says:
CO:  Men don't have a say in the matter.  The laws of this land state I can fight for anyone I wish.  You Dispute that?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::hearing Tona he gets a little worried... Darned if they do and darned if they don't::

Host Tona says:
::Looks up and down at Gopher::  CO: He may have something to offer.  Several women have decided it is their time to procreate.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Tona: I believe my Master in interested in bidding at the auction, and our wealth is great with which we come to bargain

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: But does it state that you chose the manner of fighting? or the reward for the winner?  Or that I may choose a champion?  ::raises an eyebrow at the powerful woman::  I do not mean to disrespect you, but neither do I mean to fight you, when you have this unfair advantage

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::leans over admiring the shininess of Tona's sword closely::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::raises his head at the sound of the word procreation::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::whispers:: OPS: I wouldn't.

Chase says:
::quietly tugging on the CO's trousers:: CO: We can't let them take him, he said I could kick the CTO

Host Tona says:
::Smiles::  CO:  Then you may choose the method of fighting and weapons used.  No champions.  Does little ole me intimidate you?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::leans over to the TO::  TO: Why?  Look at them will you?  Aren't they magnificent?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::chuckles softly and looks at Gopher he winks at him and sends a mental picture of the Amazon.....well... procreating with him::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: Considering you are about 2 foot taller than me, and your muscle tone is fantastic, then blatantly yes!

Host Tona says:
<Woman> ::Gets a clear picture and reaches and grabs Gopher dragging him off.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks down and smiles at chase::  Chase: I'll do my best, as you asked me

Chase says:
::wonders why the male officers eyes are popping out::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::at the mental image produced by Thati he raises a...............  eyebrow::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
OPS: Yeah but I've read about these amazons from earth mythology... they don't like it when people take an interest in those. ::points::

Host Tona says:
::Laughs out loud and slaps her on the back.::  CO:  I like you!  Let's go and have a drink.  There are some cages over yonder where you can put your men.

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::laughs out loud and has to take a step back farther::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: Your women are stealing my crew.  Return him now.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::feeling himself dragged off::  Tona:  Heeeyyyyyy..........

Host Tona says:
CO:  Stealing, he must have indicated he wanted to switch masters.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: But that drink also sounds good.  May I keep this little one with me? ::gestures at Chase::

Chase says:
:: tries to leave from the CO to help OPS although clearly he wouldn't have a chance::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Tona: If I may.....  ::nods in respect::

Host Tona says:
CO: Yes you may keep your child.  ::Sees that Sella has Gopher well i9n hand.::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::shouts:: OPS: I warned you!

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: Will he be returned to me later, if he decides to stay with me when asked??

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
TO: Well then do somethinggggg........  ::calling out to him::

Host Tona says:
CO: I tell you what.  ::Looks at her hard.:: If you win the auction you can have him back.

ACTION:  Gopher is dragged to a group of tents.

Chase says:
::looks up at Tona and musters up some courage:: Tona: Please! Let him come back

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: And he won't be harmed in any way that he doesn't wish to be?

Host Tona says:
CO:  No harm will come to him that he doesn't want.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Tona: As the Masters assistant, I would graciously ask that I remain to serve her, as she requires?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::says out loud:: All: I don't think he will mind being "harmed" .... I know I wouldn't.

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::shrugs at OPS::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Chase: He will be coming back to us, he's just going away to help that lady for a little while

Host Tona says:
Chase:  Don't worry little man...if your mamma wins you can have your playmate back.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::looking around the tent a little nervously::  Woman: Hey what... wait....  You don't understand.... things tend to happen to people around me.... wait.... what are you doing?

Host Tona says:
::Sighs:: CSO:  As you wish.

Host Tona says:
CO:  Are all your men this needy?
Chase says:
CO: eeuhh...that’s gross... Tona: My mamma? ::looks up at the CO as if in need for an answer::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Tona: Thank you... ::bows his head::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Whispers::  Chase: If you want to stay safe, you will stay with me Chase

Host Tona says:
<Woman> ::Pushes him into the tent were several other men are housed.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: Aren't all men?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::looking around at the men::  Men: What is this place for?

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::stands there and watches his feet::

Chase says:
CO: Okay ::looks for the CTO:: What about him?

Host Tona says:
::Laughs out loud again.:: CO:  To true. to true.  Let's go and have some Meade.  ::Leads the Capt to a long table of food and drink.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: These men are under my control, but that aren't my prisoners, or slaves. Is there anywhere safe where they may stay, which isn't caged?

Host Tona says:
<Men> OPS:  This is where we are housed before being taken away.  We are now the property of Sella.  Didn't anyone explain anything to you?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Gestures for Toby to follow her, as her 'assistant', as she continues to talk to Tona::

Host Tona says:
CO:  Very well, they can stay at the edge of the field.  They may not enter without a female 
present.

Chase says:
::sees all the food and eyes light up::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::shaking his head at the explanation::  Man: No.  Property???  No, no... that can't be right.

Host Tona says:
<Men> ::Shrug at Gopher::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::follows behind the CO as Tona leads the way::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Tell the men that, then return to me

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
Man: My Aunty Rachel will come and get me out of this.  ::mumbles::  She always does....

Host Tona says:
<Man> OPS:  Who is Aunty Rachel?

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
Man: Rachel Xavier.  Admiral.  ::suddenly realizes that name means nothing here::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes a plate, and fills it with varied food before handing it to chase::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: As ordered ::walks over to the rest of the crew::

Chase says:
::takes the plate:: CO: Thank you. Is there going to be dessert too?

Host Tona says:
::Grabs a couple of tankards and hands one to the CO.::  CO:  So what is your name?  I'm Tona, I'm the Queen of the Amazons.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::leans on the side of the tent not realizing his weight is beginning to have an effect on the tent::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes the tankard::  Tona: I am Anya.  I have no title, besides she who holds power over that small group of men

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CTO/ TO: Luckily they have allowed you to remain un-caged.....

ACTION:  The Tent suddenly collapses and a lot of cursing and swearing can be heard.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Chase: Maybe later Chase, maybe later

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::climbing out from under the tent he looks a little bewildered::

Host Tona says:
CO:  You sure you don’t want a different crew.. there will be an auction after the main one.  We have several good specimens including Cardassians, Andorians and some humans.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CTO/ TO: It seems that you are to remain out here at the edge of the field....

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
CSO: Un-caged? ::sighs:

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CSO: And what did you do to them Toby?

Chase says:
::sulks when he sees the weird foods that he doesn't like::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::begins gathering up the tent to use as a toga::

ACTION:  Chase sees something that looks like Chocolate.

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::points to the collapsed tent:: TO/OPS: Gopher must be having fun.

Chase says:
::jumps up suddenly and moves quickly around the table in-between the people::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: I have accustomed myself to this group, and we usually work well.  No point in changing anything at this point.  But if I see anything that looks particularly good, I might place a bid

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
TO: As an Assistant I am permitted to enter, maybe you should perform a little reconnaissance without drawing any attention

ACTION:  The tent catches on fire.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
:;Is talking to Tona, but keeping an eye on Chase as he runs off::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::as he finishes putting the tent on he smells smoke::  Men In Tent:  Is something burning?

Chase says:
::gets to what he thinks is chocolate and grabs it::

Host Tona says:
CO:  Good Good...I'm looking at a particularly buff Klingon. I understand they are quite the handful.

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CSO: You know Toby... in our current situation, a personal cloaking device would be just great.

ACTION:  While grabbing for the chocolate, several plates fall off the table to the ground with a loud clang.

ACTION:  Gopher sees the tent catch in flames.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::suddenly feels the warmth and begins screaming like a baby::  All: Get it off!!! Get it off!!!  ::trying to rip the burning tent from his body::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Grins at Tona::   Tona: I believe you would appreciate a Klingon.  They fight well, and have extraordinary stamina!  ::hears the clang::

Chase says:
::stands still, with dirty hands and looks up with a really guilty face:: All: oops?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CTO/TO: Anyway see what you can find out about the auction...... if you need too return to the ship, but de discrete, I shall return our "Master" ::sighs and smiles::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks around for Chase, and sees him my the dropped food::  Chase: Chase, can you come back here please sweetie, you don't want to upset any of these amazons, do you?

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CSO/CTO: You guys remember where we picked him up from? ::points at Gopher::

ACTION:  Screaming can be heard... suddenly someone lets the water tower loose and water falls all over the tents soaking them. including the tent on fire.

Chase says:
CO: Sorry I just wanted chocolate ::looks ready to cry again::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::sighs in relief as the cool water drenches him::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::heads towards tent that the CO and Tona are in and enters::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
CSO/TO: Yeah I know where we got him from, I'll be back. ::walks to the tents and throws Gopher over his shoulder:: OPS: Shut up and hold on.

Host Tona says:
<Sella> ::She sees a man trying to steal her property and lets out a yell.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Chase: It's okay chase, just next time, be more careful.  Do you mind staying near me for a little while, and watching people?  If you want any more food, tell me what you want, and we 
can get it together.  Is that okay? ::Smiles down at him::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::being carried off he looks down the back of the CTO::  CTO: You know... you'd better get more time in the holodeck, your butt is beginning to look big

Chase says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: okay...I have chocolate now so its okay

ACTION:  Several Amazons begin chasing Thati and Gopher with spears.

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::wanders off and looks around::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Smiles widely, and pleased at him::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::walks over towards the CO:: CO: The men have been informed, they shall keep themselves out of trouble ::faces away from the others and winks at the CO, hoping she can read his thoughts::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
OPS: I said shut up. ::looks back and sighs::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::spots the Amazons and taps the CTO on the shoulder::  CTO: You'd better look behind you

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
~~~CSO: You mean trouble is brewing already, right?~~~

Host Tona says:
CO:  Hmmm Anya it would seem that your "Men" are causing a ruckus.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Shrugs::  Tona: Would you expect anything less from men?  At least they are giving you and your women entertainment?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
OPS: Can you run? Or fight? Actually can you do anything productive? ::keeps running trying to figure out a plan::

Host Tona says:
::Laughing so hard that her sides hurt.::  CO:  Yeah that they are.  I bet 20 bars of latinum that my women will get your men.

Chase says:
::sits quietly eating the closest thing to chocolate he could find::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::thinking::  CTO: Umm... I can do this weird thing with my ear... watch....

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
OPS: Stop it! ::stops running and drops the OPS, he prepares to jab the spear of one Amazon into the dirt and swing around for a swift blow to the back of the others neck::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::wanders out from behind a tent in front of the CTO::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::stands just behind the CO and thinks on the surface of his mind so she can easily read him thinking about whether they have yet discussed the lot of interest at the auction::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Laughs as well:: Tona: I'm not taking you up on that, because I agree with you! Just don't damage any of them.

ACTION:  The nearest Amazon goes flying.

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::falls on the ground in front of the other Amazon::

ACTION:  Several Amazons run over Gopher.

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
::ducks as an Amazon flies over his head::

OPS_Lt_Gopher says:
::muffled::  Self: Oooph...  umph... ooph...

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: Are you entertaining any other crews at present? ::Looks around for any other female non-amazons::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
TO: Help? ::grabs the spear and prepares to defend himself, he is crouched low::

Host Tona says:
CO:  Not at the moment.  It would seem that other races sent their men to intimidate us.  ::Laughs::  They know nothing.

Chase says:
::drops some chocolate and picks it back up from the floor and sticks it in his mouth::

TO_Lt_Tar`get says:
CTO: Against them? You know I never hit women.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Tona: Can you tell me anything about them?  Surely you want a woman to beat the men at auction?

Host Tona says:
CO: You bet I do.  Let's meet.  I'll give you the inside information.  ::Smiles and leads the CO off.::
