Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Once again we find the valiant crew of the USS Triton embarking on a highly sensitive and, oh heck, more than likely dangerous mission

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
as Captain Knight faces major disciplinary action for doing the right thing, no matter what Starfleet Command thinks.  He's also trying extremely hard not to let his failure to find Admiral Sheridan get in the way!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Maybe the Triton should stop at the nearest galactic branch of “Lonely Captain's Anonymous?”

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
There's also the matter of some sort of wedding ceremony coming up in the near future (gee I wonder whose?)!  Sure hope E'Laina and Vince can concentrate on their duties and not each other!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Now sit back, gentle sentients, and enjoy, as ACTD is proud to present the USS Triton and her valiant crew in…Heartstrings…Chapter 1…A mystery wrapped in an enigma

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Vince, check the computer core...see if it's been compromised.... can you hear me?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
FCO:  What was our position just before that happened?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::looks up at the XO::  XO:  Sir, as a matter of fact, a second before the power failure, sensors indicated something...  however I wasn't able to analyze it.

XO:  I'll try to power up the database control enough to retrieve the information.  ::looks at the OPS::  OPS:  Commander, would you assist me here, please?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Action: Just as suddenly the power and everything else comes back on.  The speakers of the comm system are filled with a sinister laughter

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Turns to E'Laina::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
Self:  Not again...

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
FCO:  What's our position?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ XO: It is two Q ~~~   :: Sounds confused ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Birds of Prey incoming!

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
Bridge:  Red Alert!

Capt_Mordicana says:
@COM:  Triton:  How dare you trespass in my territory.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She turns on the bioscanner and moves it around the Bridge. Maybe it could pick something up::

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
XO: Commander, we are about an hour away from Ursa Omicron. Shall I re engage engines?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
Self:  Oh... Wonderful

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
FCO:  Not yet

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Her fingers fly over her console as she tries to get a location of the the voice ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::is successful::  XO:  Commander, I got to retrieve the information from the database...  it was a glitch in the computer core.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Anything Ashley?  ::having seen her:: XO: Now what?

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
::looks at E’Laina:: OPS: Any idea who that is? She sounds scary.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CTO:  Bird of Prey?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
COM:  Mordicana:  This is the Federation Starship Triton.  Identify yourself

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Ensures power is available for tactical and navigation ::   FCO: No...no idea

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Hears LtCmdr Ray and raises an eyebrow.:: CO: All of this happening at one time is to "good" to be true.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::sits down and let's his XO handle this::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: I know....

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Feels the tension of the crew go into over drive ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
XO:  Sir, permission to go to the computer core room and attempt to fix the problem.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: odd, old d-7 class

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She takes a seat at the Counselor's chair::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CSO:  Go ahead

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::overhears Kalek:: CSO: A moment first Lt

Capt_Mordicana says:
@COM:  XO:  My name is not important.  What is that you are invading my territory.  You have 10 minutes to vacate or you'll live to regret it.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::nods::  XO:  Aye sir.  ::walks and stops::  CO:  Captain?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
XO: Commander I have something on the bioscanner but I am unsure what it is. I am going to run a more intense scan if possible from here.

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
::sits there really wanting to hit the "go" button now::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CMO:  Coming from where?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
COM:  Mordicana:  What claim do you have on this territory?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Before you go, what you're looking for will have a very definite signature.  Check it with the file on this PADD

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: ::whispers:: Maybe we've found our first link to who we're looking for

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::picks up the PADD and reads the information::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
XO: Trying to figure all of that out now. ::She uploads the information onto the console and begins an intensive scan::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::thinks a moment::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ CMO: In all your time on board the Triton, do you recall ever encountering two Q? ~~~

Capt_Mordicana says:
@COM: XO:  That is not important.  It just is and that's all you need to know.  ::she pushes her hair behind her ears to reveal multiple scars on her right cheek going to the tip of her ear::

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
CSO: Kalek, any chance to get the navigational sensors back soon?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Senses the presence and knows this is not one of the Q she sensed laughing earlier ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
COM:  Mordicana:  No, it is important.  This is Federation space

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::looks up at the Captain::  CO:  Aye sir, is there anything else?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ CMO: Never mind, Ashley.  This voice is not a Q ~~~

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
FCO:  As soon as I check the computer core.  Wait for my report.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks over the scans:: ~~~OPS: Two Q? No I do not believe we ever have... Then whom is it?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Just get it done as quickly as possible I have a feeling we're not done with these yet

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
COM:  Mordicana:  Now, if I'm in error, than perhaps you should transmit your charts so I can update mine

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Very well, sir.  Excuse me.  ::nods and leave, but not before glancing at the CMO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ CMO: I'm not sure, yet...trying to understand what I'm sensing ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Mr. Ray target those ships

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: It could be anything... if I am right or close to being correct... someone or thing is playing with us.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CTO:  Tactical analysis.  Are they any threat to us?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::enters turbolift::  TL:  Deck 5.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Her eyes go wide a moment as she senses....  She turns to the XO and whispers ::   XO: Sir!  This person is a pirate captain who is trying to find the bilitrium...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: already have, but only on manual control.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ACTION: When Kalek enters the turbolift, the computer giggles and locks it between floors::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ CMO: I'd have to agree with you, Ashley ~~~

Capt_Mordicana says:
COM:  XO:  I do not recognize that classification in any way.  ::pauses::  XO:  You know what, you are really pushing my patience to the limit.  You had your chance to leave this space.  ::cuts the COM and motion for her gunner to fire on the Triton::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CTO:  Shields up.  

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  Prepare tractor beam

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
XO: Evasive maneuvers ready.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She looks at E'Laina and then Vince and Thorne:: Self: Someone is playing with us... ::She closes her eyes and tries to see if she can sense who she thinks it is...::

Capt_Mordicana says:
::motions for her pilot to take evasive maneuvers::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
FCO:  As you see fit

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CTO:  Target engines

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::tries again::  TL: Deck 5.

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
XO: Speed sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: shields up, but only at 90%,

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  If they're our pirates, then I want to take them alive

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I agree.  Let's hope we can

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
FCO:  Full impulse.  We're not leaving

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
::taps the helm controls and takes the Triton to full impulse::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: We target to disable agreed?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Action: The pirate ship’s fire impacts the shields and is absorbed 

Capt_Mordicana says:
@COM:  Triton:  Now that I have your attention, I have one more thing to say , you will never gets your hands on my bilitrium.  ::tells her gunner to fire once more::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  Aye Sir

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::notices the TL didn't move an inch, tries to get access through the wall console::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CSO*: Kalek report please

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Did she say bilitrium?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Senses the CSO and sees the turbolift is caught between floors. Attempts to re-route power to that lift ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  I'll consider that a confession

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  In fact...

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*OPS*:  Commander Anari, this is Lieutenant Kalek.  I am stuck in between decks 3 and 4.  I am currently trying to get access to the console but it is not responding.  Can you do anything to bring the turbolift back online?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
COM:  Mordicana:  I'll take that as a confession.  You're under arrest.  Stand down and prepare to be boarded!

Capt_Mordicana says:
@::she smiles as her gunner goes what he does best, fires with the greatest perfection on the target::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CO*:  I am stuck in between decks 3 and 4 Captain.  And the oddest thing is that the lift giggled before stopping.  I realize it is not logical, but I assure you that happened.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: We don't have any choice....take out her engines

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
*CSO*: I am trying to re-route power to your lift as we speak.  Unfortunately, the computer isn't responding...all it says is that it isn't letting him go...   :: Sounds bewildered ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO/XO: They are firing weapons...

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
FCO:  Evasive

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CTO:  Fire at will, target to disable

Capt_Mordicana says:
@COM:  XO:  I do not know where you get your information that cargo is mine fair and square.  As in that old phrase "loser weepers finders keepers” or something like that.   And to show you I mean business,  I have one more surprise for you.  ::she motions for her gunner to do his thing and he fires on the Triton::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
XO: Commander I sense great joy from something... something is really enjoying what is happening to us.

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
XO: Evasive Delta One sir. ::turns the Triton hard over to port::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Continues to try and re-route power to get the turbolift moving.  She is getting overwhelmed with all that she senses around her... ::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:

ACTION: With the shields down the pirate's fire scores the side of the ship

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Raises an eyebrow as she looks around in the dark, she can see nothing::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Hears Thorne:: CO: Is your assumption the same as mine Thorne?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Probably

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant...I'm not sure how quickly I can get power to your turbolift...thought you might want to know

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ACTION: The laughter is back again, joined by a second, deeper male's laugh

Host FCO_Ens_Flight says:
XO: Engineering reports damage to the hull.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Hears the laugh and closes her eyes trying to sense something from them, anything besides their joy::

Capt_Mordicana says:

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ACTION: A newer, much more well-maintained Bird of Prey appears

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::listens to the laughter but ignores it, is well focused on his job::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ACTION: As it does, all power, weapons and sensors are back online

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  I hate being stuck on a bridge in a ship with no power.  I'd almost rather jump into the vacuum of space to personally punch at their hulls

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:

#COM: Mordicana: Yes they are! Now back off and go find another ship to bother, and take your friend with you.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: yes but it may take time, and with the power going crazy...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She raises an eyebrow as she sees the Bird of Prey:: CO: It can't be...

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CTO:  Understood.  We'll worry about that when we have time to

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I believe you might want to meet this Ferengi

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame: Rame is that you?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Taps her combadge ::   *EO*: Engineering!  What the devil is going on down there?

Capt_Mordicana says:
@COM: Damon_Rame:  You know something, you have a knack of coming in when I am having the most fun, and you know how annoying that is.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Is not sensing anything from Engineering and is worried ::   *EO*: Engineering...report!

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::keeps searching for the "glitch"::

Host Damon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Ah, Captain, long time no hear. Care to turn your screen on?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Go ahead E'Laina

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Activates the viewscreen ::   CO: Viewscreen on, sir

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame: Here we are.  What are you doing here?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks up at the screen at Rame::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::Staring, remembering what Rame did, trying to control himself::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
<EO Morose> OPS: It's crazy down here, ma'am!  I'll get back to you when I have an answer!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame: I'm waiting...I know it's not cause you've missed us!

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
*EO Morose*: You'll get back to me NOW or I'll have you on report!   :: Her voice raises involuntarily ::

Host Damon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Why Captain, I've missed you old friend. I see you have not changed. ::rubs his lobe and smiles, his sharpened teeth glistening::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::finds some defective isolinear chips, now runs a cross reference between the readings obtained no these chips to the ones on the PADD::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Takes a deep breath as she knows the tension from around the ship is beginning to get to her ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::studies Rame's face::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
<EO Morose> OPS: We're just a bit TOO busy Ma’am!  Morose out!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame: I see you haven't either old "friend".   I know there must be a profitable reason for you to be here

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::raises an eyebrow as he realizes that the readings matches exactly, as the Captain predicted::

Capt_Mordicana says:
@::begins fuming because her fun is over, she thinks  "can't a girl have fun?"::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant, if you get a chance when you are done in the computer core, can you see what is happening in Engineering, please?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::quickly replaces the defective chips and runs another sweep::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: ::whispering:: E'Laina, see if you can pick up any subspace chatter about a bilitrium buy

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She watches Rame as he speaks and looks at the Captain and then back at the screen::

Host Damon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Now Captain, you know me all too well. Profit is my existence and I'm sure you can offer me much, can you not? ::sneers at the screen::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame:  Daimon, I don't believe you've ever met the person you set up

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*OPS*:  Aye Commander, I will visit Main Engineering.

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::quietly:: CO:  How profitable would his death be?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame: I'm sure we can come to some sort of "understanding"

Host Damon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: I am crushed Captain. Do you need proof of my good intentions?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: ::whispering:: To you and I, priceless

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO: Aye sir...    :: Isn't picking up anything on subspace communications about bilitrium...yet ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
*CSO*: Thank you, Kalek

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame; I'd sure like to see that yes.  I know I can "trust" you ::smiles::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::before getting too annoyed at his face, turns to the CTO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CTO:  Did the other two bug out?

Host Damon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Very well...behold.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::turns and leaves the computer core's room::  *CO*:  Sir, you were right.  I have detected some defective isolinear chips, and their power readings matches exactly to the readings on the PADD.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ACTION: Rame's Bird of Prey fires on the pirate ships, destroying them both

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:

Self: That cold-blooded…

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Jumps a bit:: Self: Oh my.. ::Looks at the viewscreen::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame; We'll see you there!

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks at Vince:: XO: Calm down Commander. ::Trying her best to stay calm through the situation::

Host Damon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Captain, I heard another voice....is that one of your underlings?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame:  Would you like to meet him?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::motions for Vince to step forward::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Takes a deep breath and shivers again from all the emotions she feels around her ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Excellent E'Laina

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
Self:  The pot calling the kettle black....

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::if looks could kill, Rame would already be dead::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame:  Maybe we'll see you there old friend

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Now!

Host Damon_Rame says:

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame: We shall see!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Close the channel E'Laina

Host Damon_Rame says:
<FCO_Flight>CO: Aye sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
