Prologue:
Arriving at the new coordinates, the Triton is in orbit of a small privately owned planet called Serenity, with a small population and only one city called Paradise. It is a resort like place, with pink sand beaches and a temperate climate.

It seems they were waiting for Vice Admiral Sheridan, and when she decided to beam down alone, there was some concern for her safety. Captain K'Vas was in the transporter room at the controls, but suddenly he too was transported away.

Who did the dirty deed? Yes indeed, that is the question. Where are Captain K`Vas and Vice Admiral Sheridan? Now who do we blame for the disappearance?

Let's see how our intrepid crew deals with this one.

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in...."A Piece Of Who's Action?".....Chapter eight...." This Is Paradise?"......Stardate 10512.15

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: sits in a chair watching K`Vas :: CO: This is getting on my nerves.

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
XO: I looked for information about the planet's owner, things like name, background and so on, and nothing appeared. Not one single thing on record. This guy is very very secretive and suspicious someway.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: in the room clutching his leg in pain :: VADM: Agreed admiral

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
::opens a channel to the Planet:: COM: Serenity: This is the USS Triton please answer.

Serenity Operations says:
COM: Triton: This is Serenity Operations. How can we be of assistance Triton?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: gets up growling at the pain and begins to walk around the room yet again looking for an escape point ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Commander, maybe you want to get someone to check on Franko?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  I'll take it from here, Rico.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CO: Your leg giving you trouble Captain?

Franko_Berdisio says:
::idly shifts his weight from one foot to the other, still appearing a touch bored::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: I am having the TO check on him as we speak

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: tries to hide his weak leg :: VADM: Nothing that will hinder my abilities sir.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
COM: Serenity OPS:  This is Commander Sommers of the USS Triton.  With your permission, we would like to dock in your shipyard for repairs.

Serenity Operations says:
COM: Triton: By all means Commander. Our facilities are at your disposal.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the CTO.::  CTO:  How is he doing, Ian, um I mean Lt. Cerdan that is.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Passes the security check point.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
COM: Serenity:  Understood, we will bring her in for repairs.  Thank you, Serenity.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: stands and walks over to K`Vas :: CO: I wish I knew who this person is that is supposed to join us for dinner.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Walks into view of the holding cell::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Lt. Meadows, please take us into the docking port.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*XO*: How soon to dock?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Alright by my standards

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  We are preparing to dock now, Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Aye ma'am

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
XO: Ma'am I have some suspects about the people on this planet, I am not so confident that delivering them the Triton is such a good idea. Just my opinion of course.

Franko_Berdisio says:
::sweeps his eyes out over what of the brig he can see, smirking as the TO comes into his field of vision:: TO: They send you to laugh at me a little, boy?

Serenity Operations says:
COM: Triton: We look forward to serving you. Operations out.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Sir the sooner the better.  I might be able to get that nacelle repaired with a little bit of luck and a miracle.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: straightens himself on his leg :: VADM: I hope our captor comes soon, I look forward to confronting him

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
Franko: I was ordered to check on you. If I had my choice you would have never made it aboard.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::starts to move the ship in for docking at quarter impulse

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  You may close the comm channel, Rico.  And we need to dock at a shipyard if we want to get our warp drive back online.  We need repairs.

Franko_Berdisio says:
TO: We all make our choices kid. You ain't heard of half of mine yet. ::decides not quite to tip his hand... yet::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: looks around :: CO: This hardly looks like a prison Captain, in fact it's rather nice.

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
XO: Can't we wait? What if the people of Serenity kidnapped the Captain, lowering the shields would just make their job much easier Ma'am?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Looks him up and down:: Franko: I'm sure you made this choice.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Lower shields, but keep weapons on standby.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: aye ma’am

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@VADM: A prison is a prison no matter who decorates it

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::sees another light go from green to red::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
ALL: Damn it.

Franko_Berdisio says:
TO: You're right. And I'm going to make another. ::expression grows slightly cooler as he watches the TO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: lowers shields::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: 3 minutes before we are docked ma'am

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::sitting down, trying to stay relaxed::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  No, Rico.  We are going in for repairs.  With any luck we'll be able to get our weapons back online.

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
::sighs and prepares docking procedures:: XO: Aye aye ma'am.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Reaches for his communicator.:: *CTO*: Cmdr. Our guest is secure. Was there something else You needed from him?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Have you finished the results of the scans from the planet, Lieutenant?  Did you locate the Captain or Admiral down on the planet?

Franko_Berdisio says:
::waits for the TO to focus his attention on his conversation, and then just nods, once::

ACTION: As the shields are lowered, there is a sudden power surge on the Triton and it's directed at the brig

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::taps on his console informing engineering that they while be docking in a few minutes

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*TO*: None for the moment Lt.; report to the bridge

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*XO*: I hate to bother you but would you mind telling me just what the hell happened up there.

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
:;redirect power trying to reduce the damage as fast as he can::

Franko_Berdisio says:
TO: It's been fun, lieutenant... ::winks very, very faintly::

ACTION: Franko is beamed away

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the power surge.:: *CEO*:  Lt., we are experiencing a power surges here on the bridge.  Are you doing anything that would cause this?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
ALL: What the hell............*XO*: I got a transporter beam out.

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
XO: Ma'am another beam, this time in the brig.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  Who was beamed out?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hands fly over the boards to try to bring it back::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  Who was beamed out?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Sorry Commander there was no sign of them on the planet

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Who ever was in the Brig

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*TO*: What’s going on?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  Try to get the signal back .. or trace it!

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Already on it.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Watches Franko fade out.:: *CTO*: Security breach main brig.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hands continue to fly tracing the beam out point::

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
XO: Berdisio I suspect, the beam was in his cell. And Ma'am I know where the CO was transported.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Can you determine the origin of the beam out?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Come on J'Loni come on where did it come from ?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hands still flying trying to trace the triangulation::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: We are working on it

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: walks to the window and looks out :: CO: This could be a wonderful place to spend some time K`Vas.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Still working on it sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*TO*: Get to safety

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::rotates the ships angle and starts to decrease speed::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Stop docking procedure, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ltjg_Polo says:
XO: Ma'am the captain was transported on the surface, into the resort

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
ALL: Don't just stand there find out where the beam came from!!!!!

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CTO*:  Understood, Recommend going to condition red.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  Can you get a lock on him?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@VADM: Agreed if we were free to come and go as we please.  I never complained about the company I was keeping or the planet, just way we are being confined

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*CEO*: get a lockdown on that hull breach!

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Sir there was a huge surge just before the beam out.

@ACTION: Franko appears on the planet, directly in front of the Admiral

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: No my technicians only pinpointed a large area in the resort. 

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::fires impulse at full reverse and starts to move the ship away from the docking port:: XO: Aye canceling docking

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: sees a form appear :: CO: K`Vas!

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hands flying across the boards once again like they were guided::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: spins around and tries to grab the form materializing to restrain it ::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: But I have a very strong gut feeling about the guy that owns the planet. I suspect it was him. 

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
:: Assigns teams to all security areas and make his way toward bridge.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Destination ma'am?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Commander, I want shields back up for now, until we can figure out what happened.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::brings the ship to a full stop::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Take us back into standard orbit.

Franko_Berdisio says:
@::leans to the right and away from the CO's hand:: CO: Relax, captain. If I wanted you dead, you would be.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: Shields up? 

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: backs up and let's the Captain do his thing ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  Yes, and get someone to check on that dampening field generator to make sure it's still there.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::engages impulse again and moves toward the planet::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: growls and takes a fighting stance :: Franko : You would find me harder to kill than you think p'tahk

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: They are up and ready

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
:: dispatches a team on the cargo bay where the dampening field generator is held::

Franko_Berdisio says:
@CO: Probably. Fortunately for both of us I don't make a habit of killing my ride. ::smirks, and glances briefly toward the admiral:: Adm: Long time no see, you know?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::rotates the ships pitch and angle and starts to ease the ship back into orbit::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Steps on to the bridge.:: CTO: Where you need me chief, I have all access points covered .

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: looks puzzled :: Franko: I'm sorry, but I don't know you.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
TO: Take your position for the moment

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Standard orbit in 1 min sir

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Damn it and I just was going to get the ship fixed.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Yes sir. ::Moves to secondary console.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@Franko: Your ride?? If you wanted transit you should have stayed in your cell aboard the Triton.  Or is this your final destination? :: emphasis put on final destination ::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Do we have a location of that beam out?

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: Ma'am I think we need a plan. 

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ CO: K`Vas, do you know this man?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
TO: The planet

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Looks over and sees new pips on the XO::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Ens Johnson: You have engineering I am going to the bridge.

Franko_Berdisio says:
@CO: Just my final one with you and your crew, captain. Now, do sit down. Adm: You'd be surprised just what it is you know, miss Sheridan.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@VADM: No sir, I have run across many degenerates during my time in tactical...he was not one of the rats

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: We should beam in a team immediately.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::enters the TL:: Computer: Bridge Express!!!

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Have the TO take an Away Team to the planet's surface to recover our guest.  I will need you at tactical with me.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
CTO: The location of both transporter beams is in a luxury area on the surface planet. I think the owner of the planet has something to do with it.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::stops the ships decrease and parks it in orbit:: XO: We are in orbit again Commander

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ Franko: Well you seem to know my name, so may I know yours?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::adjusts her sash and dusts off her uniform and waits angrier than an injured targ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Yes ma’am

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: Ma'am what if it is a trap?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
TO: You heard the lady

Franko_Berdisio says:
@::produces a small, palm-sized device and thumbs it off:: Adm: As I said... you'd be surprised what you already know.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :; moves around to stand beside the Captain ::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Eyes widen as Sam speaks.:: CTO: I'm on my way

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: Continues to stand in front of Franko ::  Franko : It will be a cold day in Gre'thor before I take orders from you

@ACTION: As Franko presses the device, his appearance changes, and Sheridan recognizes the face immediately

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  Arm yourselves .. heavily.  You're on the Away Team, Rico.  Take the FCO with you.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Franko: It can't be...Lewis?

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: Aye, please put on record my objection. 

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::stands up and moves toward the XO::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::exits the TL and opens up her station::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@::looking back and forth between the admiral and  Franko :: VADM: Is there something I should know sir?

Lewis says:
@::gives a single nod:: Sheridan: In the flesh... more or less. As I said... long time no see.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: grabs K`Vas' arm :: CO: That's him! That's the man that killed my father!

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sir You are going where?????

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CNS:  Try to get a status report from the doctor on Mrlr, please.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Nods to Polo and Meadows.:: OPS: Save your objections, we have a job to do.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  I'll try.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  I'm not going anywhere, Lieutenant.  I will be staying with the ship.  Commander Ray is needed at tactical as well.  I need all his expertise right here in case we need to engage weapons.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::stands there::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO: You really love charge head first without a clue on what you are doing, don't you?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sorry sir but where is the Captain and the Admiral?????

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CO: It was years ago. He lured my family to a desolate planet and killed my father in an attempt to convince me to join...section 31.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: rushes Franko to try and push him off balance and get control of him :: Franko : From criminal to murderer you move fast

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  Unknown at this time, Lt, but .. if my suspicions are correct .. they are with Franko on the planet's surface.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CO: K`Vas, wait!

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Ma'am are we using transporter or a shuttle?

Lewis says:
@::has expected a reaction like it, and steps to one side aiming to slam his palm into the CO's nose::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::facial expression changes into that of instant rage::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Moves to the lift:: OPS: If your afraid  you can stay here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: I will be ready at your side

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Negative, you will be beaming in and out.  I don't want our technology falling into their hands, in case it's a trap.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
::flips the TO::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO:  They what??  ::growls loud::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the CTO.::  CTO:  Thank you, Commander.  I'm going to need all the help I can get trying to figure this out.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CO: I need to know why he is here and what he wants.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*Sickbay*:   What is the condition of Mrlr?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Well ma'am it looks like they could change a transporter beam location I has just wonder how safe it was?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sir Nothing better happen to them or who ever they are will answer to me. Daughter of the house of L'Keth.  ::turns and assumes her station::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
TO:  Ian, I suspect the Captain and Admiral are somewhere on the planet.  Take scanners with you to see if you can locate them once you are on the planet.  Check in with me every 30 minutes.  I want you all to wear a beam-out patch .. just in case.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: grabs at Franko :: VADM: When I am through with him he will gladly tell you what you want to know

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  You will have to wait in line, J'Loni.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: Ma'am are we to beam or to use a shuttle?

Sickbay says:
CNS:  This is Doctor Parker.  What can I do for you?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :; grabs K`Vas' arm again :: CO: A dead man won't tell me anything.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  You are beaming, Rico.  I don't want our shuttle docked in their ports.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
FCO/ OPS: Lets go fellas save the cuss words for when we get back.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: I want all available power to be shunt into all the shields and I want the repairs to the weapons tripled.  I want this ship ready for battle.  I also want the transporter pattern buffers taken apart and put together and I don't want any excuses this time.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Motions them toward the lift.::

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*Parker*:   What is the condition of Mrlr, please?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sir You will have weapons if I have to get out there myself and fire the torpedoes and phasers.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  I can't take the risk, Mark.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Lewis: I suggest you talk and fast before the Captain here silences you permanently.

Lewis says:
@::doesn't even bother to struggle against the CO:: CO: Go ahead, captain. Kill me. Say goodbye to your career if you do, however.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: stops so not to drag the VADM across the room with him :: VADM: Have no worries I won't kill him...not immediately

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::nods and enters the lift::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::angrily her hands fly across the engineering console cursing as she works::

Dr. Parker says:
CNS:  Commander Mrlr just came from surgery, ma'am.  She is stable and recovering .. but not yet ready to return to duty.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*Parker*:   Thanks, I'll pass on the information.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
:: leaves the bridge and heads for the transporter room:: *Quiroga*: Chief, have scanners and beam up patches waiting for us in the Transporter Room please.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@Lewis: So now you claim to have control over my career in Starfleet :: laughs :: , in the KDF as well I suppose

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: monitors the Away team  and weapons::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  Keep a lock on them, Lieutenant.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*TO*:  Good luck, Ian.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  She just got out of surgery, it will still be some time before she can return to her normal activities.

Lewis says:
@CO: If you want to find out just how much section 31 can do, then don't listen to her. ::tilts his head vaguely toward Sheridan::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sir that is an understatement.  If I hadn't renounced my Betazoid powers I would have a mental lock on all of them including the captain and the Admiral as well.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: None the less I do have a transporter lock on all the Away team members.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: watches Lewis closely :: CO: Don't trust him Captain. He's not picky about who or how he kills.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
TO: So do you recommend phasers?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CNS:  Did you sense any apprehension from the planet when I was communicating with them, Counselor?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering *: Where are my weapons people????

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
FCO: You bet, we may beam into a hostile situation.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@Lewis: You are not my first experience with section 31, but I could be your last experience in this life...now speak p'tahk

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
::arrives in the transporter room and checks the equipment as it is carried there:: *TO*: Everything seems fine Sir.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
TO: Do you want rifles as well?

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
<put TO between **>

Lewis says:
@Adm: Oh come now, miss Sheridan... I'm very picky. Your father knew it, too.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Commander, do you think this was a set-up?  Our coming here that is.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  No Commander.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::enters the transporter room with the TO::

ACTION: The clouds that had been forming around the planet now thicken

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Possibly.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the clouds on the view screen and walks over to science beginning to run scans of the cloud formations.::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: Outstanding, Gear up, and lets get moving. ::Motions for FCO to pick up a rifle.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: I am beginning to lose the transporter lock.  That cloud is getting thicker sir.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: It is interfering with the lock.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::grabs a phaser and places it on his hip::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO: Coordinates?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::puts a tricorder on his hip then grabs the rifle and double checks it::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::steps onto the pad and waits::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: Were following Franko, and hopefully he will lead us to the Admiral and the Captain.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Lewis: You killed him for no reason! :: her eyes flash with hatred ::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@::squeezes his grip to emphasis his point :: Lewis: Speak and tell the admiral what she wants

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: I must admit it may all be some ruse by the Admiral, or maybe even Franko

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sir I don't suggest you let them go.  If you do I will lose them.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*TO*:  Ian, the cloud formation is thickening around the planet again.  It is interfering with our sensors.  We may be out of communications reach for a bit.  Take extra precaution.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO: We have just a wide area, but I will try to put us as close as we can. ::enters the coordinates and then steps on the pad taking tricorder and rifle:: 

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  It's the only clue right now we have.  We have nothing else.  It's our only shot.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Steps on to the pad. *XO*: Understood, standby for beam out.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:

Lewis says:
@Adm: ::still doesn't bother to resist the CO's hold as yet:: I can tell you nothing if I'm dead, you know  that. Now, do call off your captain... and we'll discuss this... relatively calmly.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
Self: Straight in the lion den. 

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::nods at the information::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sir I strongly advise against it.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:

::leaves her console and walks over tot he XO and the CNS::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  Do your best to keep a lock on them.

ACTION: The away team is transported to the planet

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: releases Lewis shoving him hard back into one of the chairs :: VADM: Yes sir as you order

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  These two incidents have to be linked somehow.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@::places the butt on the rifle to his shoulder and looks around at his new surroundings::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
@:: crouches and takes the tricorder off starting to look for the captain vital signs::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO/FCO: Nice place...

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Pushes his rifle down:: FCO: Easy fellows, This will be harder than I thought.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Lewis: Alright, he's backed off now talk. Did you bring us here?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO/CNS: Sirs, I have made a solemn vow and renounced my telepathic and empathic abilities but in order for me to keep a mental lock on our away team I would have to break that vow.  Now since you are the ranking bridge officer sir you are the only one I will break that vow for.  But I want the CNS here to also to agree with you so I have some peace of mind sir.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: Anything?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: stands ready to break a few of Lewis' favorite body parts , and maybe take some extra for Mrlr ::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO/CNS: Maintaining a hard transporter lock with the cloud is going to get harder.  A mental lock is better.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Maybe..  this may be just a chance for Franko to get away

Lewis says:
@::nearly goes backwards, chair and all, but remains upright:: Adm: I did. Well, I'd intended for it to just be you... tall, dark and brutal was an unexpected addition.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO: Nothing, we could not pick them with the triton sensors after all.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CEO:  Considering that I have no abilities in that nature, I won't tell anyone.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@::lowers the rifle a bit and looks around:: OPS: Looks could be deceiving

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: Keep trying, We have to find them.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  That is an issue that you are going to need to deal with J'Loni.  Whatever you need to do to get a lock on the AT, find a way.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CNS: I understand your reluctance. And I agree.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO: They may be underground, in some caves under the surface. If I kidnapped someone I would put him in a place where he cannot be found.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CEO:  What reluctance, I am just speaking the truth about my abilities.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Lewis: Well, I'm waiting. Why are we here?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: How close are we to the coordinates that Franko used?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@OPS: Is there any where our scans are been blocked?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sam that is not what I expected but I will maintain my vow until there is no other choice.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*TO*: Report

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  I don't think so.  I think they're related.. somehow.  What I am confused about though is what do the Tholians have to do with any of this.  CNS:  Anything in the background, Commander, that may be useful to us?

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO: We did not have precise coordinates, just a wide area, we are as close as we may be.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CNS: Please forgive me counselor.  I used the wrong word and I am sorry.  I would like to have a talk with you at some point in time after this mess.  I need some help with something.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@*CTO*: We have arrived, But there is no sign of Franko, Can you help us pinpoint the source of the transport?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: What was our margin of error?

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CEO:  All right.

Lewis says:
@::pauses for a moment, then decides with a slightly indifferent shrug:: Adm: It's simple, really. Things... didn't go as they were supposed to back then. I think it's time to make things... slightly more even between us.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
@TO/FCO: The area is around 1 km squared and we are in the middle of it.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::snaps to and salutes the cross chest salute to both officers::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO/CSN: Understood sirs and thank you.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@::looks up at the roof of the buildings and wonders where his man had gone to::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::turns and heads back to her station::

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  I'm sorry, Commander, what background information you need?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Lewis: Even? You are talking in riddles. Just tell me what you want?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: Where the hell are my weapons????

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CEO: Send the transporter coordinates to the AT

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Nods to Lt. Polo.:: OPS: OK we have a Kilometer to cover. Lets start a search pattern with the tricorder.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hands fly across the boards and hears the CTO and does as ordered::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
TO: They can have a scrambler field, something to keep them hiding, maybe we can search for unusual energy readings?

Lewis says:
@Adm: I own this planet. Or, at least... I did. It now belongs to you... if you choose to accept it.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@:TO: Should we split up to cover more ground

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CTO: Coordinates are sent to the AT sir.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: If I ever get my hands on the person or persons that stole my heart and my sector commander I will kill them.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@FCO: I think we should stay together.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: looks surprised :: Lewis: You own this planet? But how?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CNS:  Try to find out if the Tholians have a link to all of this.  There seems to be a little triangle here.  Franko's planet, this planet, and the Tholians.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CEO:  Hope that helps

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: Good Idea, Lets try it.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CTO: So do I sir so do I.

Lewis says:
@Adm: You don't think the resources you were after were just for public sale, do you? ::smirks ever so faintly::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
@:;turns his tricorder from life signs reading to energy readings, trying to pinpoint any energy spike::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::feels the blood in her ears pumping as her heart does::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Lewis: You were on Sigma Iotia II?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*TO* That should broaden that search

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@:: stands stone faced as he listens ::

Lewis says:
@Adm: Correction, admiral. I *own* Sigma Iotia II.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  I'll check on that and get back to you.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@Lewis: You can't own it. The Iotians own it and they are....:; stops ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the CNS.::  CNS:  Thank you.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
@TO: It's vast area but if we use a circular pattern we may cover it in a few hours.

Lewis says:
@Adm: As I said... ::smirks only faintly toward the CO:: Thanks for the lift.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Sits down in the Captain's chair and starts to prepare a message to SF outlining their current situation.::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@*CTO*: Received.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@VADM: It would seem the answer to how the Lotians were getting technology

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::begins her research::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: If I knew what this cloud was composed of I could get a handle on it from here.  Would make my life easier to get a clearer signal through.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: We have new coordinated from Triton. Lets start there it may save us some time.

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
@TO: Great, may I take the point?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: looks at K`Vas :: CO: He......Lewis was.....:: sits down completely flabergasted ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  Pull up the sensor data and if you have to, send in a probe to get the information.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@::grabs the rifle and gets ready to move::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: One step ahead of you sir.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: Sure LT. ::Gesture politely::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
@Lewis: Now what...stalemate?

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
::moves in front of the away team, tricorder held high, ready to get any reading from it:: TO: Thank you sir.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::finishes the class 5 probe and readies a class 6 to boost the signal::

ACTION: Polo's tricorder picks up a new reading...

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Launching two probes. One a class 5 and the other a class 6 for signal boosting.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
:: continues with her research::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@::hears the OPS tricorder beeping and wonder what it picking up::

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
@TO: Sir I got them.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@FCO: Try not to look like an attack force but keep your spacing.

Lewis says:
@::stands, eyes on both individuals in the room:: CO: Not quite. ::speaks into thin air:: Unknown: Deactivate the field.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: Which Way?

OPS_LTJG_Polo says:
@::shows the way with a sign::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
@TO: Okay Ian ::lowers his weapon but keeps an eye open::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS/FCO: Lets do it guys.::Unshoulders his weapon.::

Lewis says:
@CO/Adm: It's been fun, miss Sheridan. Captain...

@ACTION: Lewis smiles evilly and disappears in a shimmer
