XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: sitting in a chair, tied up ::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::sitting at the Flight console watching the new power readings::
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::monitoring the new warp core in Engineering making adjustments::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
*CEO*: Are we all set down there?
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: is at his station ::
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
*FCO*: We have not blown up Commander, therefore it is functioning correctly.
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@::Enters the room with the prisoner:  Making a sweeping bow he addresses the XO::  XO:  Tsk Tsk...it would seem that my crew has not been nice to you...  ::Wipes a bit a blood from her face::  What shall I do with them?
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: So Captain, what can I do to help?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: do we still have even a mild idea which direction the XO was taken?
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Well, we know which way they set off in, as long as OPS can follow the trail we should be able to find them again.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: looks up through a half swollen eyes ::  Prince:  Well, I could tell you what you can do with them, but I don't think you'd like it.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Let's hope they're dumb enough to not mask the trail
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
AOPS: Do you have a lock and direction on the trail?
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: You never know... I'm ready to get underway whenever you are.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::waits for the COs response::
OPS_H’lo says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CEO*: Are we up and running yet, or do I need to get the FCO to get out and push
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@::Laughs.:: XO:  You could always try me.  ::He flashy purple outfit shimmers in the light.::  You know, you could become a fine member of my crew and I would promise I would treat you well.  It would seem that the patsy's I have right now are not very effective.  ::Winks at her::  I think you would be.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::gets frustrated at being ignored and heads back off the bridge, taking the silent reply as his answer::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Prince:  That just doesn't work for me.  I don't work well with idiots.
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
*CO*:Everything is functioning correctly Sir. You may initiate at your leisure.
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@::Leans down and whispers::  XO:  Neither do I.  Now I am a patient man but I do have a limit.  I think you a smart person, now just give me what I want and I will not have to stick you with this? ::Pulls out a large needle..Truth serum is wonderous::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: Commander I need you to go to astrometrics and pull the data on the vessel that's taken the XO, run it through the Starfleet database and see if you can gain any insights
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Get the co-ordinates from OPS and initiate a pursuit course
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Prince:  Let me save you the trouble.  Anytime a Starfleet Command officer is captured, all their command codes are inoperative.  You're out of luck.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
All hands: Yellow alert...we're going to get the Executive Officer back
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::nods to the CO then turns to OPS:: OPS: When you're ready.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: But Captain, that ship was cloaked... we don't know what ship it was!
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  True...::Gets the needle ready::: But they don't reposition the fleets and I'm more interested in that.  ::Inserts the needle into her neck and pours the liquid into her veins::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
CO: Yellow alert, aye. :: pushes a few buttons on the console ::
OPS_H’lo says:
CO:  Aye Sir, co-ordinates going to flight now.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: Gleam what you can from the sensors, see if there's a matching pattern to anything on file
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::notes the Yellow Alert signal:: EO_Mackenzie: Make certain we are battle ready.  
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::receives the co-ordinates and engages at maximum warp::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: Very well Sir, I shall go to Astrometrics to.. gleam.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: winces :: Prince:  You're wasting your time there too.  :: laughs ::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::changes destination of the turbolift::
EO_Mackenzie says:
::gulps::  CEO: Aye Sir. I'll go write up my will Eh.
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@::Settles down in the chair next to hers.::  XO:  Now my dear...tell me does you boyfriend keep you happy?  How did you make executive officer?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::drums fingers on the arm of the chair::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: grins stupidly ::  Prince:  My boyfriend TRIES to keep me happy, but he is only human you know, so, sometimes he actually pisses me off, but, he doesn't mean to and he is really a nice guy.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
AOPS: do we still have a lock on the trail?
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  Tries is not satisfying my dear...I guess you need to find someone new.  What is his name?
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: lowers her voice conspiratorially :: Prince:  And he's really really cute.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks into Astrometrics and activates the big shiny planetarium type thing::
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  His name dear.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Prince: Huny buns
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@::Laughs:: XO:  Cute dear cute.  ::Increases the dosage::  Now there is no huny buns on the crew manifest of the Tal War.  So lets try again... his name?  Remember I already know who he is.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@Prince: Will.  :: laughs ::  Can you imagine when the Captain says 'fire at Will'
OPS_H’lo says:
CO:  Aye Sir, we do.
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  And do you get the urge to 'fire at Will'?
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@Prince:  No, why would I do that?
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  Because he is not the man you had hoped for......
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::monitors the course carefully:: OPS: Are we even going the right way?
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Prince:  Why would you think that?  You can't put people on pedestals....so no one can be perfect...so, I don't have any expectations other than he be who he is.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CEO*: how are the engines holding up?
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::looks over what the ship could be and tries matching it up::
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  Fair enough, but you do have a thing for the Captain don't  you?  My spies say you even showed up on the bridge naked.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: laughs ::  Prince:  You're joking, right?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Make sure weapons are ready. and that we have several boarding teams ready with emergency extraction transponders
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: I want to be on one of those teams.
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
*CO*: I believe the correct vernacular is they are smooth as a baby's bottom Sir.  I am monitoring in case I need to change diapers.
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  Not in the slightest.  The Capt must be bored with his wife and his eyes are starting to wander.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Prince:  I respect the Captain, but, I no more have a thing for him than I have for you.
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
CO: Already making preparations, sir. :: signals boarding parties to be on standby and charges weapons ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CEO*: ...ok....
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Prince:  Besides, his wife would kick my....well, she wouldn't be very happy.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Are you going to be able to help or hinder?  If I send you over I don't want your personal feeling to interfere with the mission
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@XO:  What is your secret fantasy?
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::turns to face the CO and lowers his voice slightly:: CO: Did I try and stop you when we went to get Lorehani? Come on Thomas, you know what she means to me.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Commander Foster will be leading one of the extraction teams
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Prince:  Well, I'd have to say that my secret fantasy is to be Queen on my own planet.  You know, being able to sleep as long as I want, getting waited on hand and foot....paradise.  :: sighs ::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
CO: Very well.. :: checks on his console :: FCO: I have added you to team Alpha, they are at Transporter Room 4.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: Anything on the identity of Commander Telgar's hosts?
Prince_Albert_Endicotte says:
@::Looks disappointed::  XO:  Now that is boring....  ::Stands up and motions to the Klingon::  You are just not cooperating.  My friend here will loosen you up a bit... I'll be back in a couple hours.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::keeps looking for data::
Klingon says:
@ ::Cracks his knuckles and smiles::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: I suggest that you take your team and secure the bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Klingon:  Give it your best shot.  I mean that's really warrior like, beating up a girl who is tied up.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: Not yet Sir. I'll let you know as soon as the Computer tells me something useful.
Klingon says:
@ ::Shrugs::  XO:  Who says I was a warrior.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: Keep on it, anything to give us a tactical edge would be helpful
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Klingon:  All Klingons are warriors.  Apparently, you aren't Klingon.
Klingon says:
@ ::Strikes the XO knocking her out.::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
FCO: Will do, sir.
OPS_H’lo says:
:: keeping an eye on the ion trail ::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
Aloud: Eureka! *CO*: Idrani to Quchant. I think I found something. The ship matches one in our database. The 'Lucky', it is a known Orion Pirate ship, also known to have a cloaking device. I think we can track it by its ion trail... it's heading back for its home world.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: Good work.  Send everything you have on the ship to tactical and get back up to the bridge
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Increase speed
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Exactly how much can we increase speed from maximum warp?
OPS_H’lo says:
CO:  We still have an ion trail, although it's faint.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Contact engineering and ask them to push the engines?
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: Aye Sir. ::sends data to the tactical station on the bridge::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
*CEO*: Can we get any more out of the warp core?
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: receives the transmission and quickly reviews the target ships weak spots ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: If it helps Commander Telgar will probably be so grateful she'll even cook
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
*FCO*: I shall attempt to do Sir... they are of course only recommendations to keep us alive. 
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::tries to squeeze a little more speed out of the engines::
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::adjust the warp core matrix::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::takes a look at some other interesting things in Astometrics::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::leans forward in the chair as if  to make the ship go faster::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::looks round and sees the CO leaning forward:: CO: I could always arrange for one of the flight crew to paint "go faster" stripes on the hull.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: If you think it will work
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::grunts and shuts off the system before leaving::

ACTION:  The Tal War speeds off towards the Orion home world.  They are 3 hrs behind the pirate ship.  ETA 17 hours.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Either that or take a poll of...some of the crew...and ask them what color they think would make it go faster
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: How about Sky blue pink with yellow dots on? ::grins sarcastically::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge as the FCO finishes his sentence:: FCO: I didn't need to know what colour underwear you have on thanks.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Are we gaining on them?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
AOPS Notify Starfleet Command of our status and current situation
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: It looks like it... I just hope we catch them before they get home.
OPS_H’lo says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::takes a spare seat::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Are there any other Starfleet Vessels in the area?
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::looks around and catches the CIV taking a seat:: CIV: Where are you going with that?
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: checks his console :: CO: No, sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Oh excuse me, I don't always get your human humour, so next time would you please give me a cue when I need to laugh. A ha----ha---- har!
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Oh well....I guess we're doing this on our own then
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: As soon as we get in weapons range of the enemy vessel disable the engines
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
CO: Yes, sir.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Assuming we can figure out where it is while it's cloaked
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
CO: I'll do my best to find it, sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO/CO: Maybe we can scan for Telgars life signs and use her as a beacon.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: See if you can refine the sensors to pinpoint the trail more accurately.  We'll need a rough idea of which direction to shoot when we catch up
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Aye Sir,
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::moves to a console and starts work, noticing the time as he does so::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: starts to formulate an attack plan based on the information he has ::
