Prologue:

Time passes quickly when you're having fun, doesn't it? The Triton away team has been having a great time playing in the woods, making a new friend and trying not to be lunch for the K`rang. Talk about an exciting day!

Sera, the Trill, has taken the team to a building which the team is about to find out is a transporter pad. So why is it so isolated and why are there no guards?

Back on the Triton, sensors have picked up a B`Rel scout ship closing on the planet and on the Triton. But wait, weren't there two scout ships on the first sensor contact?

The Triton has moved behind one of H`atoria's two moons to escape detection, but how long will that last?

So what has happened to the Captain? He's been out of contact for some time now, and with their mission in danger, will the Triton crew be able to find him and save Sera and the rest of the Galaxy Star's passengers?

Time for getting down to business I think. Play time is over....

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in "H`atoria".....Chapter Nine..."The Nitty Gritty".......Stardate 10610.12

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::On the bridge pacing.::  CTO:  Status report of that vessel approaching, Commander?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Running along a path in the woods while trying to catch up with the rest of the Away Team.:: Self: Now, I just need to wear a red hood and meet the big bad wolf.!

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Bringing up the rear of the Away Team.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Carefully picking her way down the hill but quickly as well.::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Slows down and lets the CMO pass him.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
All:  Be careful of loose rocks and pebbles.  It is dangerous.

Host Sera says:
::Waits at the door.::  All:  Hurry please, they will return soon.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Finishing up a quick review of scanner history.::  XO:  Sir,    ::pause:: first scan of the vessel showed there was 2 but only showing on one, and it's running with all weapons for the planet about 1 hour out.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Sees the building and the AT and keeps on moving ignoring the pain of the many of blisters on his bare feet.::  Self: There are the seven dwarves.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Passes OPS and reaches the shelter.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Maybe it cloaked.  Any signs of tachyon emissions?  I doubt it altered course.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  Nothing, Sir, but keeping my eye open.

FCO LtCmdr. Mark Meadows says:
::Follows the Away Team on the path.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Waves at the Chief Engineering Officer, showing he is about to join them.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Waits outside the shelter for the rest of the team.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Signals all tactical personnel to be fully ready for battle.::

Host Sera says:
::Steps inside the building.::  All:  I do not remember the sequence for this device, but perhaps one of you does?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Sees through the trees the people getting inside the building.::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Reaches the shelter with the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Steps into the shelter.::

ACTION:  Inside the building is a control panel with Klingon inscriptions all over it.  It appears to be some sort of transporter console.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Gets closer to the building and gets ready to enter.::  All: Knock, Knock, these are Hansel and Gretel!

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Steps inside the shelter and sees the panel.::  Self:  Wish I read Klingon.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
Sera:  How have you kept this hidden?

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Walks over to science and attempts to pick up the away team on scanners.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::Moves next to the shelter.::  ALL:  Lets just get inside so we can get our people out.

Host Sera says:
CMO: This place is where they bring the slaves through.  I only remember seeing it once but others have spoken about it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Sees the XO at the science station.::  XO:  Don't worry Commander, as soon as I pick up the Captain, you'll know.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
CSO:  Come on in, Hansel.  Looks like Sera just answered our prayers.  ::Gestures to the console.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  It's not like him to be out of touch for this long.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CMO: Great, maybe we can leave the planet?  Did J’Loni check if it is working yet?

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Stands outside the building watching for any movement.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
CSO:  What have you found?

@ACTION:  Sensors on the Triton show that the Klingon ship has changed directions and is heading towards one of H`atoria's moons now.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
All:  Anyone read Klingon?

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Console beeps.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
OPS:  I imagine the Chief Engineering Officer does.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CEO:  A Klingon transporter pad, we should check if it works, and I think you can do it blindfolded and with one arm tied behind your back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
OPS: You would think I would be able to read Klingon?

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Reviews the sensors.::  CTO:  We could have a problem, Commander.  Sensors are showing that Klingon ship is headed our way.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  The Klingon vessel has changed course for the moon, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CEO:  I didn't want to assume anything Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
OPS: Tanon, I am part Klingon and I can read the language as well.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  Recommend we go to red alert.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CEO: Then you can help me figure out what this panel is for.  ::He winks at her.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Agreed.  Take us to red alert.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Places the ship at red alert, bringing all weapons online and shields to full power.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
OPS:  While she's doing that I'd like to check your wound, please.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  Shields 100%, weapons powered and ready.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CMO:  It can wait, Doc.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Moves over to the panel and gives it a glance.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Thinking to himself, where is the other ship?::

@ACTION:  As the Triton goes to red alert, the B`Rel scout ship begins hailing warning the Triton to leave the area or face destruction.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
OPS:  I'm very sorry, Ensign, if I didn't make myself clear.  She can do the job.  You are hurt, and I will check your wound now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
OPS:  That is a standard Klingon transporter pad control system, quite simple in fact.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Moves aside letting the Chief Engineering Officer room to move.::  CEO:  If you need any help, I am here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
CSO:  I just might need it too.

Duty OPS says: 
@XO:  They are hailing us, Ma'am.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
CEO:  Can you get us inside with it?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Glares at the Chief Medical Officer, but doesn't argue.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CEO:  I remember enough about transporters from my stint as Operations Manager, but I am not very familiar with this old Klingon one.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Scanning the vessel.::

Duty OPS says: 
@::Places the hail on audio only.::

Host Sera says:
::Smiles at the CEO.::  CEO:  Can you read it?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CMO:  Doc, I'm covered in crap, anything you do isn't going to prevent whatever I already have.

Duty OPS says: 
@XO:  It's automated.  Shall I send a response?

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Smiles at Sera.::  Sera: Yes, I can.  It is quite easy for a Klingon to read.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Turns around a moment to look at the Chief Medical Officer dealing with an enraged blue man, then focuses again on the transporter.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@Duty OPS:  Send no response.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Steps over to him and checks under the bandage.::  OPS:  Well luckily, nothing has gotten into the wound.  It's fine and luckily no signs of infection. You're welcome.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  I may be able to throw them off guard if I speak to them.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Rolls his eyes and returns to the panel.::  CEO:  Any idea where this will take us?

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  I was thinking the same thing.  If we can convince them that you are the Captain's assistant, and that you have acquired this new technology, and that our Captain is meeting with people on the planet's surface, we may be able to stall for some time.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Inhales and counts to ten.::

Host Sera says:
CEO:  Please hurry.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  I can get the point across.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CEO:  Any luck with it so far?

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Do it.  I'll stay out of the video comm.
@OPS:  Open a hailing channel to the approaching vessel.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
Sera:  Hun, I am working as fast as I dare.  One misread, and well one part of you could end up in one place and the rest of you in another.

Duty OPS says: 
@XO:  Aye, Ma'am.  ::Opens the channel.::
@CTO:  You're on, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
CSO:  Actually I have it already figured out.  It is simple Klingon, only older.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@COM: Bird of Prey:  toQDuj, Haqwl'   ( bird of prey respond)

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CEO:  Can you figure out if it is linked to some coordinate in particular or if it can bring us back to the Triton?

@ACTION: The Klingon ship does not respond.

Duty OPS says: 
@CTO:  No response, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Is it possible it's being remotely controlled?  Perhaps by the other vessel we can not see?

Host Sera says:
::Tugs at Rico's arm.::  CSO:  Please, we must go soon.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
CSO:  I could probably do both.  Either the Triton or somewhere else outside of the prison compound?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Takes up a post beside the door.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CEO:  I think we better get back on the ship.  Here as we are, we are powerless; if we just knew where the captain was.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
Sera:  So while they're getting that working, can you tell me what kind of condition your crew was in when you left them?  I need to know what to expect.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Switches to all channels known to Toir the Klingons used at the time.::  COM: Bird Of Prey:  Bird of prey, respond now ::in a stern voice.::  NOW you coward.  I wish to speak to your captain.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
Sera:  We will go.  Do not worry.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  If they are, they will still here this.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
CSO:  In all reality I can send you all back to the ship, except me.  And I will continue to look for the captain.

Host Sera says:
::Shrugs.::  CMO:  Forgive me, but I only remember a little of what has happened.  We were fine until.....the storm hit, but after that my memory fails me.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CEO: You will be needed on the Triton.  From there we can locate him and beam him aboard.  
FCO: Mark, what do you think?

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Strange that they would challenge a ship our size, no?

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  Yes, sir.  They would.

@ACTION: The Klingon ship still does not respond.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Didn't notice the Flight Control Officer standing there.::

Duty OPS says: 
@CTO:  Still no response.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  A test, maybe .. to see how we respond.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
FCO:  I was just telling the Chief Science Officer that I could beam everyone up to the Triton, and I would stay behind and continue the search for the captain.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Listens to the others talk.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CEO:  That is up to you.  I would start beaming up Ensign Salan and Sera.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CSO:  An excellent suggestion.

Host Sera says:
::Tugs at Rico again.::  CSO:  We must find the others.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  Maybe.
@COM: Bird of prey:  I know you are hiding behind a false mask.  Show yourselves or you will be the one destroyed and without honor.  NOW, show yourselves so we may speak ::spoken all in Klingon.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
CEO:  I don't think that you should stay alone.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
Sera:  We will.  We won't leave them behind.  But first we need to regroup on our ship.  Then we will pick them all up.

Duty OPS says: 
@CTO:  Doesn't look like you're going to get a response from them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
FCO:  First off, they need an experienced Flight Control Officer on the Triton cause of their predicament with a B'rel class ship currently.  My staff in engineering know their jobs to well.

Host Sera says:
::Frowns.::  CSO:  But I can not leave.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Looks puzzled at the woman.::  Sera:  Why not?

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
CEO: Then I will stay with you, Ma'am.  Who knows what shape the Captain will be in. You may need me.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
CEO:  Let Polo stay with you.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Steps up on the pad.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@Duty OPS:  Looks that way.

Host Sera says:
CSO:  I must find the others from the ship.  My Captain, the others... ::voice trails off:: if they are dead or...

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
FCO: They need him on the ship trying to get us home.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
Sera:  We will find them, but it is easier from space than in any other way. Here as we are, we can not do much.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Reveals a Viridian patch.::  FCO:  I have the patch.  When you locate it and I give the signal, get me and the Captain out of there, stat.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
CMO:  Doctor, who do you think should stay.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
FCO:  Me. The Captain may need medical assistance.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  Sir, we are getting signals for the away team now

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
FCO:  There are doctors on the ship to cover me.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*AT*:  This is Commander Sommers.  What is your status?  Report, please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  I am going to have them beamed up.  I don't like this.  You have a good solid signal on them?

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#::Sits waiting for T'argl to make his next move.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*XO*:  We are all right.  Debating who to send up to the Triton.  We have located an ancient Klingon transporter device here.  I want to beam up the entire team and have the Flight Control Officer lock onto my Viridian patch as soon as I find the captain and get us out of here.

T’argl says: 
#::Pours K`Vas another stein of blood wine.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
CEO:  Consider this my official request to stay and help.  I am the one who has the most backup on the Triton.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*CEO*:  You will all be returning.  We have a bird of prey on approach.  We need you back at your stations.  We are at battle stations.  Be prepared to beam up.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
CMO/CEO:  Fine, it’s settled.  The doctor will stay.  Beam the rest of us up.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Get a lock on them and beam them all back.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Waits a little impatiently on the pad.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
All:  I guess the Executive Officer decided for us all.  ::Steps on the transporter pad.::  Sera:  Come, and we will retrieve your crewmates together.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO:  Working on it, Sir.  Got a lock, beaming now.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#::Takes the stein offered him.::  T'argl:  What resources do you have?  Perhaps we might be able to benefit you and the council both.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Steps up beside the Chief Science Officer.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Winks at Latta.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*XO*:  I will not leave the Captain behind.
Self:  Oh hell no, not again.

@ACTION: The away team is beamed back to the Triton but just as they materialize, the signal begins to degrade

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@Out load in Klingon:  Darn! ::Works to try to get the signal stronger.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  What's happening?  Looks like you're losing their signal.  Get them back.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO: I'm losing them.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Moves this, realigns that.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Thinks about the recent transporter accident she had, and says to herself, this is NOT happening again!.::

Host T`argl says: 
#::Laughs and downs his drink.::  CO:  Captain, all in good time.

@ACTION:  Repeated attempts finally secures the team safely.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::XO: I have them, Sir, here safely.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::Steps off the pad.::  ALL: All right everyone, get to your stations.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Looks around to see if Sera is with them.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::Exits the transporter room and heads to the bridge.::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Takes a moment to kiss the nearest wall in the room.::  Self: So good to be back.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
Self: Darn!  

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Materializes on the pad and is viciously mad.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
*XO*:  We left someone down there. We need to go down and get her.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#::Laughs and takes another drink.::  T’argl:  I never disagree with a gracious host, unless it is to the death of course.  ::Roars a loud belly laugh.::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Heads to the TurboLift to go to the bridge.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Sighs with relief to be home.::  OPS:  Come to Sickbay before going to your station.  You can change, and I can heal that.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
ALL:  Sera is not with us!

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Orders the TurboLift to the bridge.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::Steps onto the bridge.::  XO:  Sir, what the situation.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
CSO:  What!

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CMO:  She was not beamed with us, we friggin' left her on the planet.  We need to save her.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*CSO*:  I know, Rico. I won't leave without the Captain.  We're at battle stations now.  We have a bird of prey approaching.  We're still trying to get a lock on him.

Host T`argl says:
#CO: You seem to be a man of means.  You have a ship and a fine crew.  We have little here to offer except for a few weak slaves.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::Trying to locate the other vessel that may be cloaked while still waiting for the one they can see.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Storms out of the transporter room and into the TurboLift and orders it up to the bridge.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
*XO*: Is not the Captain I am worried of.  Is the woman who helped us escape.  We need to get her as she knows where the others are.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Steps off the TurboLift onto the bridge and moves to his station quickly and sits down, then kisses the terminal.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*CSO*: Then get back to your station and try to get a lock on her.  But I am not beaming anyone else back down to the planet.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::Watches the Operations Manager and shakes his head.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#T`argl:  Ahh, but with my ship, I am able to go many places, places where such slaves could be used as currency.  It could be beneficial to both of us; you don’t have to be responsible for or feed the slaves and I gain property to barter with.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Steps off the TurboLift and walks over to Sam.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
XO:  May I have a word with you, please, alone if possible.

ACTION: The Klingon ship is moving in now, ten minutes to weapons range.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
*XO*:  Good point.  ::Runs to the bridge leaving bloody footprints on the ship's deck.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  We are at red alert, Commander.  B'Rel Class bird of prey approaching.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO:  10 minutes to weapons range, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  Commander, we are at red alert.  If there is something you need to say that is more important than red alert, then by all means say it now.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::Takes his seat and checks his systems.::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Accesses his terminal with a smile on his blood covered face.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
XO:  Flight is ready for your orders, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  If they fire on us, I want you to disable their weapons only.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
*CSO*:  I'm going back to Sickbay. You will report there as soon as you can along with OPS.

Host T`argl says:
#::Rubs his chin.::  CO:  Perhaps.  I find these new slaves tiresome.  They do not serve us well.  You will begin repairs to the shields now?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Waits for the TurboLift to arrive.::  Self: Darn, darn, darn.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::Gets targeting computer ready to target weapons only.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Goes to the TurboLift.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Walks over to the Operations Manager.::  OPS:  Welcome back.  ::Smiles at him.::  I trust you survived your ordeal down on the planet?

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#T`argl:  Of course, my engineer with make the necessary modifications to the technology and make the repairs.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::Enters the TurboLift.::  Computer:  Bridge, as fast as you can.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
XO:  Thank you, Sa...Commander.  I survived, not sure if I'll survive the Chief Medical Officer now.

Host T`argl says:
#::Slams his stein down.::  CO:  So let it be!  We have a bargain then.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Reaches the Sickbay.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#::Slams his stein down.::  T’argl: That we do.  You get your systems repaired and upgraded, and I get my cargo.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::As soon as the TurboLift door opens, runs into the bridge and at his station.::  XO:  I am here.  ::Immediately start a sensors scan in looking for Sera.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO:  5 minutes to weapons range.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CSO:  Welcome back, Rico.  Work with tactical.  Bird of Prey 5 minutes to weapons range.

Host T`argl says:
#::Stands and then presses a button on the side of the table.::  CO:  You may now talk to your ship and make the arrangements.  I will have the cargo brought here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
OPS:  Any communications coming from that vessel?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Taps at his console.::  XO: Checking.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  There should be another vessel cloaked.  Try to locate it.  I’m having trouble.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Decides to open her station and go to work and texts the XO.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CSO:  Perform some tachyon sweeps to see if you detect any other vessels that may be cloaked.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
CTO:  It should not be a problem.  The cloaking devices of this time are pretty crude. ::Starts looking in the sensor envelope to detect if anything reflects his tachyon sweeps.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Texts.::  XO:  You know how I feel about leaving anyone behind, especially the Captain.  That is why I wanted to stay down there.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, we are at red alert, and I would prefer you on the bridge.

ACTION: A foul odor fills the bridge as the crew prepares for battle.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::Sniffs.::  All:  It wasn't me.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Looks at the CEO.::  CEO:  I never leave a man down, Commander.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#*CEO*:  Commander, I have made preparations with T’argl.  We are to receive the slaves in exchange for upgrades to their systems using the technology from the captured ship.  You are aware of the procedure.  Begin...and Commander Q'apla.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
XO:  Nothing from that ship, Ma'am.

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Looks around and sees her Sickbay fully ready for casualties.:: Nurses:  Good job people, keep it in one piece until I get back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*Engineering*:  Get some one on the transporters again this time I mean it!!!

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::Sniffs and curls his Klingon nose.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::Nearly jumps out of her skin.::

CMO_LtJG_Latta says:
::Runs to the nearest TurboLift and heads to the Bridge.::  *XO*: On my way, Ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
XO:  I just got orders from the Captain, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  I heard, Commander.  Take care of it.  And let the Captain know there is a bird of prey approaching and we are at red alert.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
