Vesuvius Mission Stardate 10105.01

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Last time on the Vesuvius:

Host Mirion Naylor says:
The Vesuvius is en route to deliver medical supplies to a medical research station near the Neutral Zone.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
The crew came across a damaged vessel drifting in space and leaking substances of a suspicious variety into space.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
The vessel has been stabilized, and the captain of the ship is waiting in the Vesuvius sickbay. She claims that her vessel was attacked by the Orion Syndicate, but Captain Royce has her suspicions.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
The Elora, the merchant vessel, is carrying medical supplies, but those supplies could be used to make biological weapons. Is Captain Naylor a lady after Nightingale, or is she going to prove to be a mockingbird?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Slowly pacing the bridge behind OPS and HELM stations ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Walks out of CMO's office into sickbay ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Leaves his office, several PADD's in hand. He walks up to one of the doctors and hands a PADD over, releasing an officer from sickbay. He then goes over to a display and looks at Mirion Naylor's status ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: At OPS running a redundant inventory of supplies ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: On the bridge of the Elora working on her systems ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Watches the CTO pacing nervously behind her ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: Captain, have you sent an away team aboard the Elora to check for any biological contaminants?

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Good to have you back, doc.  There is an away team over there now effecting repairs to her ship.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Well, what's the verdict?

CSO Trelan says:
@*Greve* Trelan to Engineering. Report.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to CMO ::   CMO: Her status, doc?

CMO Delar says:
CO: Understood sir…  :: Looks over the display ::  CO: Any specific orders?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Still rather amiable in spite of the potential problems ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Turns around to face the CTO::  CTO: Something on your mind?

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  I have crewmen over there now, looking at your supplies and making repairs to your ship.

CSO Trelan says:
@<Greve> *CSO* All systems up and running. Engines back on line. But don't push her to hard. We need to get her back to spacedock to complete repairs.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Yes.  I believe we may be being set up for an ambush.  Plot an escape course Ensign, and have it ready to go at a moments notice.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Good. I'd also suggest that your tactical officer be on alert. I don't know how many ships will come back to make certain that the Elora is dead in the water.

CSO Trelan says:
@*Greve* Acknowledged. Trelan out.

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  Maintain a lock on the away team and be ready to beam them back at any time.

CMO Delar says:
::Glances at the display several times:: CO/Naylor: Miss Naylor is clear, no contaminants have been detected. I'm currently running a comparative analysis to check for any possible long-term effects of her...medical supplies.

CEO McGregor says:
:: In main engineering going over the ship discharge data ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CTO: Already have ‘em locked.

FCO Lane says:
:: Smiles ::  CTO: Aye sir, plotting escape vector.

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  I'm sure he's already made the appropriate arrangements

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Turns toward the back of the bridge ::  Frost: Report.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CTO:  We should keep our weapons and shields ready for action, also.  If this ship did get attacked, then we're not exactly in friendly space.

FCO Lane says:
:: Taps her panel and lays in new co-ordinates for an escape route just in case it's needed ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO/OPS:  Excellent.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Looks back at his tactical officer and nods ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The away team has not found anything out of the ordinary on the Elora...except the chemical missing the Vesuvius cargo bay.

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Lon, is she clear?

CMO Delar says:
::Looks over the displays:: Naylor: Captain, when you have time, I would like to discuss with you the contents of your medical supplies and...::trails off, not wanting to put Naylor on the spot::

CSO Trelan says:
@<Frost> CSO: Shields are online. Weapons at standby, holding at 60 percent.

CMO Delar says:
CO: Aye sir, she is.  ::Smiles::

CTO Wakefield says:
<TO>:: Powers up phaser and loads torpedo bays, sets shields on standby, nods back at CTO ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Delar: And?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks at CMO with raised left eyebrow ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Checks the helm's LRS for any signs of ship traffic in the area ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Checks and raises power levels to main engines and weapons ::

CMO Delar says:
Naylor: Never mind, I'm sure we'll have time to discuss your cargo shortly...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Punches at controls at the OPS station :: Seems everything is in order. Nothing missing but the calmeorphin.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:; Arches an eyebrow, which serves all the more to make her look like Captain Alar::

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Would you like to accompany me to the bridge?

CMO Delar says:
:: Gives an apologetic look to the Captain and continues on with his work ::

CSO Trelan says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: Elora to Vesuvius.

OPS Brehgorn says:
COMM: Elora: Come in, Trelan.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Sits down in Captain's chair and accesses sensors, scans area for any tactical advantages ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: I'd be delighted.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits sickbay with Naylor ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
COMM: Elora: Trelan...are you there?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Why do I get the feeling there's something you're not telling me.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift with Naylor ::   <Computer> :  Bridge

CSO Trelan says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: Yes, I'm here.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Notices a rogue brown dwarf star bearing 312 mark 05, 1.5 light years out ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
COMM: Elora: Anything to report?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Naylor ::   Naylor:  I apologize if I've given you that impression.  I was just wondering the same about you.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Miss Lane, recompute escape course, bearing 312 mark zero five.

CMO Delar says:
*Bridge*: Sickbay to bridge.

CSO Trelan says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: All systems are ready and waiting. Ready to return to the nearest Starbase.

CTO Wakefield says:
*Sickbay*:  Bridge here Doctor.

CMO Delar says:
*CTO*: Please be advised that Captain Royce is currently en route to the bridge with Captain Naylor.

CTO Wakefield says:
*CMO*:  Understood.  Wakefield out.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Gives the impression of leaning back on her heels, taking Royce's measure :: Royce: I'm just wanting my ship back in working condition, and I'd like to avoid anymore run-ins with the Syndicate. If you hadn't come along, I would have been dead.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: I see it sir, changing course bearing 312 mark zero five.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Trelan has reported that the Elora’s systems are online, and she's ready to take to a Starbase.

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  Very well.  Please inform him I'd like the away team back aboard as soon as possible.

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  I'm wondering why the Syndicate would attack you...what do you have that they want?  Where were you going with your cargo?

FCO Lane says:
:: Slowly brings the Vesuvius to the new course ::

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Who hired you?

OPS Brehgorn says:
COMM: CSO:  Is your team ready to beam back aboard?

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Realizes something else, scans Vesuvius' hull for calmeorphin residue::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: Five ships appear on sensors. One is the Ferengi vessel from the earlier encounter, and the others are a mix. Two Klingon Birds of Prey, one Breen, one Vulcan ship that has been fitted with a considerable armament.

OPS Brehgorn says:
COMM: CSO: Standby for transport immediately.

CSO Trelan says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: Ready and waiting, Brehgorn.

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Red alert!  Shields up!

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Transports the AT to the Vesuvius ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Five incoming ships.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits turbolift ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Goes over and scans an officer who was complaining about a fever and gives him a standard injection and releases him to his quarters ::

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  Are they aboard?

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  We have company.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Checks readings ::  CTO: Affirmative.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Status on our people?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Hears the red alert klaxons as he materializes on the transporter pad ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  They're back aboard.  :: Heads back to tactical ::  CO:  Shields are up, and weapons are ready.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  We have an escape course plotted towards a brown dwarf 1.5 light years away.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Reroutes extra power to shields and weapons systems ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::  CTO:  Thank you, Dathan.

CSO Trelan says:
Greve/Frost: You two get to engineering. They may need you.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: The Syndicate wants to have their hands in everything. That means that no one is safe...even those of us who run an honest business. If you don't pay up on the protection money, they eliminate you. And as for who hired me...I was hired by someone claiming to be from the Daystrom Institute.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Reading a Ferengi, two BOPs, a Vulcan and a Breen ship.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Takes tactical ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: At least that's where the credits were being routed from.

CSO Trelan says:
Transporter chief: Inform the Captain I'm on my way.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO: I see them.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Naylor ::  Naylor:  I see

CMO Delar says:
::Hears the red alert:: Staff: Alright people, prepare for all possible injuries. Theta team begin setting up a triage center in shuttlebay 1. Beta team, set up in here.

CMO Delar says:
*Bridge*: Ensign Delar to bridge, status?

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Captain, we are outnumbered and outgunned.  Suggest we call for reinforcements and head for that brown dwarf immediately.

CSO Trelan says:
<Transporter Chief/Greve/Frost> CSO: Aye sir.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Shall I hail the vessels?

FCO Lane says:
:: Lays in evasive pattern delta and stands by to engage ::

CNS Becca says:
:: Standing on the bridge just looking around ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to CNS ::   CNS: Becca, what do you sense?

CSO Trelan says:
<Transporter Chief> *Transporter room 1 to the Bridge*: Lt. Trelan asked me to inform you he is enroute.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Does that answer your questions?

FCO Lane says:
:: Looks over at the Captain and waits ::

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Yes, some...there are still many more questions here...

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Locks phasers on the heavily armed Vulcan ship ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Takes a seat in the empty XO's chair ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Enters the nearest turbolift :: Computer: Bridge.

CMO Delar says:
:: Taps his comm badge as the medical teams begin to prep themselves:: *Bridge*: Ensign Delar to the bridge, please respond. What is our current status?

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain, shall I hail the lead vessel?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Monitors her sensors closely now ::

CNS Becca says:
CO: All I sense is a lot of people who is unhappy with Naylor

OPS Brehgorn says:
COMM: Lead Vessel:  Vesuvius to starship, do you copy?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to OPS::   CNS:  Anything from the ships?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits the turbolift and goes directly to SCI I ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Those ships are still incoming, bearing 086 mark 2, half a light year out.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: A surly Klingon shows up on the viewscreen ::  COMM: Vesuvius: This is the K'rawk. What do you want?

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Move us out, Hope, slowly.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain, a comm channel is established.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO:  And they don't sound happy.

FCO Lane says:
:: Sighs ::  CO: Aye Captain, engaging at 3/4 impulse.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Hugs on his ho'quj ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: K'rawk:  This is Captain Royce of the Vesuvius.  Is there something we can do for you?

CSO Trelan says:
*Delar* We seem to be in a little bit of a fix right now, Doctor. Stand by.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Keep those engines running steady, Mac.

CMO Delar says:
:: Grabs a med kit and gets ready for any possible injuries. He moves over to a nearby console to check on all the medical status. ::  *CSO*: Understood, my staff is now preparing for possible injuries.

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Will do.

CSO Trelan says:
*Delar* Acknowledged. Good thinking.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq the Klingon> Vesuvius: Yes. You can hand over the Elora and her captain. :: Suddenly very accommodating :: I understand that they are carrying some contraband materials...and we wouldn't want that to get out, would we?

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Silently admires the know-how needed to stack a Vulcan ship like this ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Gets ready to reroute power from un-needed systems when needed ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Whispers ::  CO: Captain, their weapons and shields are not powered right now, and could disable virtually all of them with the phasers if I fire now.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain, all those ships have the same crude cloaking device as the previous modified vessel.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Stand fast, Mr. Wakefield...we do not need to escalate the situation here.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Targets weapons arrays of the Vulcan and Breen ships ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Stays silent in her seat...this isn't her ship, although it is her fight ::

CNS Becca says:
:: Just walks around the bridge thinking, and  watching everything ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: I believe it may be prudent to advise StarFleet of our situation.

CMO Delar says:
:: Hands off two med kits to members of Theta team heading for the shuttlebay ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel: What kind of contraband are you referring to?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Tries to sound innocent without being condescending ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Notices that the Vulcan ship has taken the lead and is continuing to close on the Vesuvius ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Whispers ::  CO:  The Saratoga is only two light years away, shall I request their assistance?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to OPS ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq> COMM: Vesuvius: Why, those biological agents on her ship, of course.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The ships are slowly surrounding the Vesuvius.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Sends an encoded transmission to SF and all near SF vessels informing them of our situation ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Whispers::  CO:  They're surrounding us, setting us up for an attack.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Ma'am, sensors show the other vessels forming a pattern around us.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Evasive procedures, Hope.

CNS Becca says:
:: Watches everything, and starts thinking more…and listening to everything that is going on as well:

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Accesses COMM systems, sends priority one message to U.S.S. Saratoga, to make best speed to Vesuvius's present location ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel:  We've detected no such substance, just medical supplies.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Monitors situation on the bridge ,and reroutes power from the science labs to the shields and weapon systems ::

FCO Lane says:
CO: Captain, sorry to interrupt but the ships are taking up a perimeter line around us.

CMO Delar says:
:: Checks his PADD and is informed that the temporary triage center is ready for use ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Maj>:: In Science Lab 3, notices the power decrease in the lab ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Shall I call for backup...they're actions are becoming provocative.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Evasive maneuvers, make it quick

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* I gave you a little boost for the shields and weapons. Please inform Tactical

FCO Lane says:
CO: Starting evasive maneuvers, pattern delta.

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  I already have.

FCO Lane says:
:: Hits her panel ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CTO:  OK...Mac has given us more power to shields and weapons, if need.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq> COMM: Vesuvius: The calmeorphin on her ship says otherwise. I must insist that you remand Captain Naylor and her vessel into our custody.

FCO Lane says:
:: Brings the ship 20% to port ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM:  Klingon vessel: You have no jurisdiction here.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The other vessels now have the Vesuvius surrounded, and they're starting to power up weapons...baring their teeth, as it were.

FCO Lane says:
:: Increases to full impulse ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  they're powering up weapons.

CMO Delar says:
<Computer>CMO: Analysis complete.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain, they are powering weapons.

FCO Lane says:
:: Banks the ship to starboard 10% in a slow turn ::

CNS Becca says:
:: Watches, and listens, and just wants to help out anywhere I can ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Checks a nearby console about the calmeorphin and the possible weapons it could create::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Whispers:: CO: Captain, I humbly recommend we warp out of here and try and regroup with some more muscle.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel:  I'm sure we can diffuse this situation peacefully.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq>COMM: Vesuvius: Ah, but my five vessels to your one says differently. Hand her over.

FCO Lane says:
:: Plots pattern Gamma and initiates the maneuver ::

CMO Delar says:
*CSO*: Ensign Delar to bridge, I have an analysis on the calmeorphin, sir.

CSO Trelan says:
*Delar* Trelan, here. Go ahead, Doctor.

FCO Lane says:
:: Moves away from the Vulcan lead ship slightly ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel:  Perhaps, but I do not believe you want to start an Interstellar war.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The USS Saratoga is less than a light year away now.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Works on his little project ::

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Long range sensors are detecting the Saratoga. Less than a light year away.

CMO Delar says:
*CSO*: The calmeorphin on The Elora is a possible compound in a bio-toxin. If introduced into a population it could have devastating results...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods at CSO ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
Self, relieved: Here comes the cavalry.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  Yes I know.  :: Smiles back at CSO ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq>:: Grins, baring his teeth ::  COMM: Vesuvius: So much fuss over one little ship. Why do you insist on being so stubborn?

CEO McGregor says:
*CO* Captain, I have been monitoring the bridge ...I have an idea.

FCO Lane says:
:: Whispers to the CO:: CO: Captain I have the Saratoga on my screen now.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Whispers to CTO and CSO ::   CTO/CSO:  Can we divert their attention somehow gentlemen with holographic images?  Make them believe there are reinforcements coming?

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Captain, there are reinforcements coming.

CSO Trelan says:
*Delar* Give me some of those results, if you will.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel:  Why do you insist on my handing her over?

CMO Delar says:
*CSO*: Understood, transmitting now.  :: Sends a copy of his findings to the Sci I console on the bridge ::

CNS Becca says:
:: Just watches what going on and listens ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Pulls up data ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel:  There is more to this situation then I believe you're telling me.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Hails the Saratoga and appraises her of our situation ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* Send the holographic signals through the forward subspace emitters using a very narrow beam, the Klingon’s won't see it

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq> COMM: Vesuvius: This is a...private matter. She's none of your concern.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  Dru could you do that for me please?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Hears the CTO and CEO's exchange and modifies the forward emitters, shakes his head at Dathan ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* I have taken the liberty of setting it up.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Sends an encoded message to the Saratoga to call for more backup ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Checks sickbay's status as he continues to review any data on calmeorphin::

FCO Lane says:
:; Wonders if the Vesuvius could outrun any of these ships ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* When the Captains ready

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel:  Perhaps not, but she is on a Federation ship, and currently under my protection.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  We're ready with a diversion.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel:  So do not be a Targ about it.  Out with the real reason you want her so badly!

FCO Lane says:
:: Overhears the Captain getting tough ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*CEO*:  Coordinate with CSO on this Mac.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Hey Mac...I think you should maximize as much power to shields, weapons, and engines as you can.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Says with force ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Patience is growing thin ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* Aye

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Perhaps I could speak with them?

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Aye ready for you, I hope we won't need it.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Roger that.

FCO Lane says:
:: Completes Gamma maneuver and inputs Beta pattern ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CSO* I'm ready down here, just keep that beam no larger than .107 Hz

CNS Becca says:
:: Stands behind the Captain, and just watches over everything ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq>COMM: Vesuvius: Enough talking. Prepare yourselves.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  I am not afraid to deal with this...with this...

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The comm line goes dead.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Comm link disconnected.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Prepare weapons, Dathan.

CSO Trelan says:
*CEO* Understood.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns and sits in the Captain's chair ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Checks the helm's power consumption levels ::

CTO Wakefield says:
Co:  Already ready.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* It looks like your work may not be in vain...keep an eye on systems...this could get dicey.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Initiating beam.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The Saratoga enters the area.

CEO McGregor says:
*CSO* Tell the CO I gave us a 5 ship backup.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: False readings coming in. They should see the same thing.

FCO Lane says:
CO: The Saratoga is within range now ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Target their weapons system, fire when ready.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Targets weapons arrays of Vulcan and Breen ships, fires phasers and torpedoes ::

CTO Wakefield  (All Weapons FIRE!.wav)

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Away!

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The attacking vessels scatter.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Sends Priority 1 Assistance message on a Star Fleet channel ::

FCO Lane says:
CO: Captain, shall I go to warp?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Watches as the attacking vessels scatter ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Hears the familiar hum of the torpedo tubes:: Staff: You all know what that means, lock down all systems and prepare for possible injured to be coming in.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Make it so.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Gives full power to engines ::

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  Make sure the Saratoga comes with us.

CEO McGregor says:
*FCO* Full power to you.

FCO Lane says:
CO: Aye ma'am. :: Goes to warp 4:: Engaging warp 4.

OPS Brehgorn says:
COMM: Saratoga:  Follow our lead.

CTO Wakefield ::fires weapons again:: (All Weapons FIRE!.wav)

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The ships begin to leave the system, but the Klingon vessel hails the Vesuvius before they are out of range.

CNS Becca says:
:: Holds on and just listening and watching everything and everyone ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Captain, recommend we head for the brown dwarf bearing 312 mark 05

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Incoming message from Klingon vessel.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Standby, Dathan.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Opens Comm link ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Incoming message from the Klingon vessel.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Open frequency.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Frequency open.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Logs his neat little trick for use another time ::

CMO Delar says:
*CNS*: Status?

CSO Trelan says:
*CEO* Nice job, Mac. We'll have to remember that one.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Klingon vessel: What can I do for you, now?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
<Vin'Coq>COMM: Vesuvius: You are safe, Starfleet, but the p'tak Naylor will not be.  Tell her, once she has come out of her hiding place, that we will find her, and she will die.

FCO Lane says:
:: Leaves the other ships far behind ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CSO* I've got her in the vault already.  :: Grins ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The comm line closes.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Smiles ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: That is one dumb Klingon ::

CNS Becca says:
*CMO* Everything is fine.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks at Naylor ::   Naylor:  Now, you will tell me about this shipment of yours...

OPS Brehgorn says:
Self: cowards...

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Captain, I should probably leave. They must have felt pretty brave to take you on...and I don't need that bravura getting your ship destroyed.

CMO Delar says:
*CNS*: Understood.

FCO Lane says:
:: Sits back a little as the others ship leave the system ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Perhaps we should return to the Elora...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Listens to the two captains with a scientist's interest ::

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Not until you tell me exactly what is going on...   :: gives her a mean stare down ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Starts to wonder about this calmeorphin residue ::

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Were ya shakin’ laddie?

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* No way, Mac...this is why I joined Starfleet.

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Ah Red shirts...Chuckles

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Doesn't budge an inch::  Royce: I've told you...I was hired by the Daystrom Institute. I was to deliver my supplies to a research station in Klingon space. The calmeorphin in question is something they have been trying to find an antidote for, and you can't do that if you don't have the chemical in question.

FCO Lane says:
:: Giggles at Brehgorn’s comment ::

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  An antidote...for what?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Thinks about Naylor's comment, leaves himself a metal note to talk to the doctor about it ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Wonders what's going on up on the bridge and continues to review his analysis of the calmeorphin::

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Meet me in 10 forward after shift and I'll buy you a spot.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Right-o.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Punches at his console looking for data ::

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  I placed my ship and crew in jeopardy for you...you owe me this explanation.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Captain, calmeorphin can be used as a catalyst for a biological weapon.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Send invitation to the Saratoga senior officers for...pleasantries ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO: Studying it may provide an antidote for that same bio-weapon.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Naylor, nods to CTO ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: They're trying to find a blanket antitoxin...as calmeorphin can be combined with a myriad of other agents, they're trying to find a way to knock out that component, rendering a great many biological weapons useless.

FCO Lane says:
:: Monitors their course ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   Naylor:  So you really did more than you were letting on...

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Contacts CTO of Saratoga, expresses thanks, smiles::  Self:  Starfleet Security at work

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Yes...and before I go, may I speak with you in your ready room?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Punches at console, whispering :: *Hilton* Trelan to Hilton. I have a task for you.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nod to Naylor ::  CTO:  Dathan you have the bridge   :: Moves to Ready Room ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> *CSO* Hilton here. Go ahead.

FCO Lane says:
:: Wonders why the CSO never smiles anymore ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Follows Royce into the Ready Room ::

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Stand down from red alert.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stops short...::  OPS:  Contact Avalon Station.  Find out what happen to the Calmeorphin that was to be loaded to the Vesuvius.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters Ready Room ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Walks down to stand in front of Captain's chair ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Well, Xenobia, it looks like you've done well.

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  All defensive systems to standby.

Host CO Royce says:
::  Moves to desk, and sits, motioning for Naylor to sit as well ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Contacts the Avalon and asks them to investigate how the calmeorphin could have gotten onto the V::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Tilts head in confusion ::   Naylor:  Excuse me?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Takes a seat ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: I must say, though, that it's disconcerting to be on this side of my desk.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Confusion still on her face ::   Naylor:  I don't undestand you...

CMO Delar says:
:: Continues on his work as the medical teams return to their normal work ::

Host CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Captain Alar?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps over to CTO ::  CTO: Did you notice anything about that Naylor woman?

CNS Becca says:
:: Sits down and just watching everything and listening ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: Ah yes...I take it that Harris didn't fill you in.  :: Shakes head :: Management....

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO: Yes, she bears a striking resemblance to Captain Alar.  :: Smiles from the corner of his mouth ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
:: She smiles ::  Royce: I was wondering what took you so long....

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Amazing.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Blinks profusely ::   Alar:  I don't understand...what took me so long for what?

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: All right...let me explain it before I head out.

Host CO Royce says:
Alar:  I thought you looked familiar, but...

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Whispers ::  CSO:  Of course, I don't remember seeing Captain Alar having an intimate dinner with Sam in a public place though...

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: Mirion Naylor is a cover...and has been since before my commission was restored several months ago.

FCO Lane says:
:: Checks the course and adjusts slightly to compensate for a small power fluctuation ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Surprise crosses her face ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: Part of the reason I was drummed out of the service so fast was because they needed me under cover.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Sits down in Captains chair finally ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Can't get comfortable ::

FCO Lane says:
OPS: I seem to have a small power loss; can you check it out?

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Unless it was made to appear that she wasn't Capt. Alar.
Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: I took the punishment, and believe me, they were very angry over the Gate.

CMO Delar says:
:: Goes back to his officer and continues reading on the calmeorphin ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
FCO: Of course.  :: Investigates the Helm systems ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Still speechless, trying not to let it show ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  I've worked with Starfleet Intelligence before; they can do amazing things nowadays...

Host CO Royce says:
Alar:  And were you successful in your mission?

FCO Lane says:
OPS: It seems to be in the navigational lateral sub relay.

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: But...they needed me on this calmeorphin case. It was only once the Vesuvius crew came up with evidence that couldn't be ignored that they wanted the Millennium Gate incident put to rest.

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: By the way, I thought you'd like to know. I have my science team checking into your theory…the one about making the calmeorphin into an antidote.

OPS Brehgorn says:
FCO:  I'm getting the same readings.  I'll inform McGregor and see if he can't fix it.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   Alar:  I see.  Wow.  :: Trying to piece it all together ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: Yes, as a matter of fact, I was. I was able to gather enough names and enough of the missing chemical to keep Starfleet busy for a while.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  You might want to coordinate that with Medical.

FCO Lane says:
:: Smiles at OPS::  OPS: Thanks, I owe you one.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Grins :: CTO: You read my mind, my friend.

OPS Brehgorn says:
FCO:  Any time, Lane. *CEO* Looks like we're having trouble with the navigational lateral sub relay, care to check it out?

Host CO Royce says:
Alar:  Well, then, I'm glad to have been of service to you, Captain.  :: Smiles ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Gets annoyed with the chair, decides to stand instead ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: And now...I get back on the Elora, and head back to Utopia Planitia. It's been a while since I've been able to sit down.

Host CO Royce says:
Alar:  I understand.  Fair skies to you Navaren.

Host Navaren Alar says:
:: She smiles ::  Royce: Thank you for your assistance. It was good to know that you've got this ship and crew in great shape.

Host Navaren Alar says:
Royce: Before I go, though, please offload those supplies onto your ship. Those are meant for you.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Blushes slightly ::  Alar:  Ya think?  Thank you.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads back to upper platform ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
FCO:  Nice flying, by the way.  :: Smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
Alar:  I'll have Kujo do so right away.

FCO Lane says:
:: Nods to OPS ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
:: She stands and extends her hand across the desk::   Royce: Good luck, Doctor.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Returns to SCI I ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes Navaren's hand ::   Alar:  And to you, Navaren...

Host Navaren Alar says:
:: She turns to leave, then pauses at the door::  Royce: Please tell Sam I said goodbye.

Host CO Royce says:
Alar:  I will.  He'll be surprised.   :: Smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves from around her desk, Exiting the Ready Room ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Kujo, make arrangements to offload the calmeorphin from the Elora to the Vesuvius

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, captain.  :: Begins making appropriate arrangements ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
:: She grins, then heads out onto the bridge ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Moves to intercept Naylor before she enters the turbolift ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Returns to her Ready Room ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
:: Stops by the turbolift ::  Wakefield: Yes?

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Whispers::  Naylor:  Always good to see you again Captain...  ::winks out of his left eye::

FCO Lane says:
:: Sighs and sits back glad this incident is finally over ::

Host Navaren Alar says:
:: She gives him a grin, then steps onto the turbolift ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Looks at Naylor as she heads to the turbolift, shakes head then returns to work ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads back towards Captain's Chair ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Looks over at CSO with a smile, then nods slightly ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Grins a little ::
