COM: SB 412: McDowell: 20 minutes.  We will file a full report upon our arrival.  Triton out.

CEO_Mallory says:
::Starts work on the core, adjusting settings, rearranging circuits, replacing chips, etc.::

Host RearAdmiral_McDowell says:
@ ::nods...cuts Comm...sits back in chair, looking around at his desk, the ship models...the pictures...Melissa...::

CMO_Marie says:
::Security teams arrives in sickbay::

CTO_Young says:
XO: Should I help them?

Captain_Valor says:
::Stands there, waiting for the XO to have medical staff help his crew::

OPS_Witz says:
: Walks away from bridge::

CMO_Marie says:
SecTeam: Finally... I need you to record anything this man says.

TO-Thomas says:
*CMO* There you go... ::smiles::

CSO_Avaj says:
:: Furious at Ens. Witz lack of self control.::

DCEOVargas says:
::Suddenly begins to feel the pain of his plasma burn...grimaces a little::

CMO_Marie says:
*TO* Thank you .. what is going on up there?

Captain_Valor says:
XO: And in order to... explain my actions, Commander. I am an officer committed to Star Fleet, and its beliefs. I am no Marquis, nor Storm traitor, if that is what you think. I was under orders to provide transportation and equipment for Lt. Malch.

TO-Thomas says:
*CMO* Nothing much now, ma'am.

CEO_Mallory says:
::Checks his progress on the core repairs::

CTO_Young says:
::Starts taking out medical supplies:: DCEO

XO_McLir says:
Valor: and those orders included firing on another SF vessel?

Captain_Valor says:
XO: Malch's orders were to "deal with" an officer onboard your vessel, who had been discovered as leaking information to the Dominion during the War.

XO_McLir says:
CTO: Yes assist the medical teams.

CTO_Young says:
::Starts taking out medical supplies:: DCEO: Here I got some medical stuff. ::Starts helping DCEO::

CEO_Mallory says:
*CSO* You're up to warp 5.. maybe 6.  I'm still working on it..

CSO_Avaj says:
*XO* We have received communication from Admiral McDowell.

DCEOVargas says:
CTO: Thanks. ::Offers up a noncommittal look::

XO_McLir says:
Valor: He was dealt with, he was murdered!

CTO_Young says:
*CMO* We need medical help here on cargo 2.

CSO_Avaj says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.

Captain_Valor says:
XO: Unfortunately, the entire plan went out of hand, and we were attempting to get away without revealing anything to your crew. Unfortunately, you... and your crew, would not let us get away, as Starfleet officer's should, and we were forced to fire... or correction, I was forced to give the order to fire.

CMO_Marie says:
<SecTeam>::Stands out of the doctors way but close enough to hear::

CEO_Mallory says:
::Rips another panel off the way and gets out the tool that shines a little red light on the circuitry::

Captain_Valor says:
XO: He was a murderer himself. He was passing information that cost the lives of thousands of Starfleet Officers, in exchange for his life if the Dominion won the war!

CMO_Marie says:
*XO* Do you want me to stay with Cronie or proceed to cargo 2 to treat casualties there?

TO-Thomas says:
::Finishes the inventory and sends it to the CTO's quarters::

XO_McLir says:
Valor: Let you get away like we should?! That won't fly.

XO_McLir says:
*CSO* Can you handle it?

DCEOVargas says:
::Watches as CTO uses dermal regenerator over his wound::

CEO_Mallory says:
::Puts away that tool, then gets out the one that shines blue lights::

CSO_Avaj says:
*XO* Of course, sir.

Captain_Valor says:
XO: You misinterpreted my words. I meant, that your crew wouldn't LET my crew go, as you were trained properly to do.

CTO_Young says:
::Keeps helping with DCEO::

Cronie says:
CMO: Doc... tor...

CMO_Marie says:
*XO* Well?

Host Scott-AGM says:
ACTION: Cronie's life signs go critical again

XO_McLir says:
Valor: Of course not, they murdered a Starfleet crewmember.

Cronie says:
::Flat lines....::

OPS_Witz says:
*CTO* Could you please see to it that the OPS console is not left unmanned?

Captain_Valor says:
XO: As I have stated, MY CREW did not murder your officer, Lt. Malch did.

XO_McLir says:
Valor: We are not trained to release murderers.

CMO_Marie says:
::Leans over biobed to hear Cronie::

CSO_Avaj says:
:: Returns to the Captain's chair.::

CTO_Young says:
*OPS* Why, are you leaving? ::Continues on the DCEO::

Captain_Valor says:
XO: And are you trained to include murderers among your crew?!? ::Snaps back::

CEO_Mallory says:
::Moves on to the next area::

XO_McLir says:
Valor: Captain, Starfleet Headquarters assigned him knowing full well of his past.

CMO_Marie says:
::Sees Cronie flatline and begins treatment... ::

TO-Thomas says:
::Slaves the OPS console to his::

CMO_Marie says:
*XO* We are losing him!

CSO_Avaj says:
*OPS* You may return to your post.

DCEOVargas says:
::Becomes enraged at XO's pious position::

OPS_Witz says:
*CTO* I am away from the bridge at the moment.

CTO_Young says:
*CMO* Can you send a medical team?

XO_McLir says:
Valor: and you people decided to punish him yourselves.

CTO_Young says:
*OPS* Understood, I will send a replacement.

Captain_Valor says:
XO: We were under orders from Starfleet Command.

CMO_Marie says:
::Activates cortical stimulators::

OPS_Witz says:
*CSO* Aye aye sir. Should I come back or perhaps lend a hand to the CMO?

XO_McLir says:
Valor: You can bloody well try that excuse with the court-martial.

CMO_Marie says:
::Watches vital signs remain the same::

CSO_Avaj says:
*OPS* We require you on the bridge.

CEO_Mallory says:
::Never noticed that there before...  unplugs it::

CTO_Young says:
::Sends another ensign to the OPS station::

TO-Thomas says:
CSO: I'm handling OPS sir...::smiles::

Captain_Valor says:
XO: That is if there will be a court-martial.

CMO_Marie says:
::Increases level .. activates again::

CMO_Marie says:
::Watches vital sign begin to rise::

TO-Thomas says:
::Monitors power levels::

OPS_Witz says:
*CSO* Aye aye Sir. On my way. 

Captain_Valor says:
XO: You are not listening, Captain. Starfleet Intelligence only learned about his actions after his assignment here, that's why we were ordered to deal with him, BEFORE he decided to leak any information to the Romulans... or some other troublesome group.

CTO_Young says:
*Witz* Are you available because if you are I need help down here in cargo 2.

CSO_Avaj says:
TO: Thank you.  However, I need you to scan for any other possible anomalies.

CMO_Marie says:
CTO: A medical team is on the way...

OPS_Witz says:
:: Re-enters the bridge :: 

Captain_Valor says:
XO: The officer was responsible for thousands of deaths in Starfleet, due to his leakage of information on our fleet status.

CTO_Young says:
::Finishes with DCEO and helps others::

OPS_Witz says:
TO: Thank you. I will handle OPS again. 

DCEOVargas says:
::Flexes his arm...it feels better::

TO-Thomas says:
::Sees the OPS officer enter the bridge and transfers it back::

CMO_Marie says:
::Monitors Cronie continuously::

Host Scott-AGM says:
ACTION: Triton arrives at 412.

CSO_Avaj says:
TO: We do not want to encounter any other SFI ships.

XO_McLir says:
::Stares at Valor and his crew, then smiles:: Valor: Even without a court-martial, the public will be informed.

DCEOVargas says:
::Stands up and walks over to his CO::

CEO_Mallory says:
::Takes that part out, since it's fried, then puts in a newer one::

TO-Thomas says:
CSO: We have arrived at SB 412, sir.

Captain_Valor says:
XO: Perhaps...

CSO_Avaj says:
TO: Engage docking procedures.

Captain_Valor says:
XO: But we are merely the ones who delivered the murderer.

CTO_Young says:
Valor: Do you want me to help you with your wounds?

TO-Thomas says:
CSO: Aye sir...::taps on console::

CSO_Avaj says:
OPS: Inform Commander McLir we have arrived at SB.

XO_McLir says:
Valor: Same difference to me.

Captain_Valor says:
CTO: No... thanks. Help the rest of my crew.

OPS_Witz says:
CSO: Aye Sir.

CEO_Mallory says:
::Fixes that section::

CTO_Young says:
Valor: Ok.. ::helps with others::

Captain_Valor says:
XO: Do you associate all those related to Starfleet Intelligence agencies to be murderers, now?

CEO_Mallory says:
::Checks on the progress of the diagnostic...  "22% complete"::

CMO_Marie says:
::Cronie barely hangs on to life::

OPS_Witz says:
*XO* Sir, Triton has arrived at SB 412. 

XO_McLir says:
Valor: Only those who blindly follow orders.

CMO_Marie says:
::Administers hypospray::

CMO_Marie says:
*XO* Cronie is fading fast if you want to speak with him you better get down here fast!

XO_McLir says:
*OPS/CSO* Dock us, and get station security down here.  I want these people off my ship!

CSO_Avaj says:
*XO* Aye, sir.

XO_McLir says:
* CMO* Coming Doc.

TO-Thomas says:
::Docks the ship::

CSO_Avaj says:
OPS: Contact station security, inform them of our situation.

Captain_Valor says:
XO: You may think us murderers, Commander. Yet, in your own way... you're murderers yourselves...

CTO_Young says:
XO: Want me to come?

CSO_Avaj says:
<FCO>:: Docks the Triton in at it's home port.::

DCEOVargas says:
::has had enough:: XO: ...and you can tell that to Jim Parker's family.

XO_McLir says:
::Turns to ship security:: Sec: Watch them until the station security takes them. CTO: Yes, come with me.

OPS_Witz says:
COM: SB 412: This is the USS Triton. Security Escort requested at CB2. 

Captain_Valor says:
::Gestures to the tattered remains of his crew:: XO: There were 40 officers with us before this mission started... 40 officers who were killed in your vessel's attack on us.

XO_McLir says:
::Turns to Vargas:: Vargas: You brought it on yourselves.

CTO_Young says:
::Comes with XO::

Captain_Valor says:
XO: Would you have rather a murderer be let free?

CEO_Mallory says:
::Sits down in his office, staring at the diagnosing screen::

DCEOVargas says:
XO: No...you brought it on us... ::frowns:: sir.

XO_McLir says:
::Leaves the cargo bay, and takes turbolift to deck 12, sickbay::

CSO_Avaj says:
*XO* Station security is on its way, sir.

DCEOVargas says:
::shouts:: XO: Did you hear that? YOU BROUGHT THIS ON US!

XO_McLir says:
*CSO* Thank you Lt.

CTO_Young says:
::Is with XO::

CTO_Young says:
::In TL::

XO_McLir says:
::Exits TL and enters sickbay:: CMO: Report.

Captain_Valor says:
::Puts a hand on Vargas' shoulder:: DCEO: Let it go... they can never understand... they haven't gone through what others have.

CMO_Marie says:
::Sees XO arrive in sickbay:: XO: Do you want me to revive him now?
