Protector 3/24

[9:00] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...*

[9:01] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The camera pans around the Protector, now at high warp just behind the Comfort. The pair are rapidly approaching Kinjun III as Tibs begins his log...*

[9:02] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *clears throat* Captain's Log, Stardate 94340.93. We are en route to Kinjun III, escorting the SS Comfort. So far, the trip has been uneventful. Hopefully it will continue to remain so. End log.

[9:04] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Fifteen minutes until the Kinjun system, Captain." *He taps the helm controls, ensuring their courses are parallel.*

[9:04] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Wanders over to a console and beeps at it a little, looking over some files.*

[9:04] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Great. We've almost made it there without incident.

[9:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --is contentedly tapping away on her comsole.--

[9:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -lowers her head some at the captain's comment-

[9:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Most...illogical

[9:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...are you aware of a what a "jinx" is?

[9:06] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *Down in Engineering, Nalie is checking over the away team's final repair reports.*

[9:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh, I don't worry about that. Luck is on my side.

[9:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -commence a full sweep of all com and known coded frequencies0

[9:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps far too much sir

[9:06] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Now now. I may be a bit out of practice with the helm controls, but I still remember how to dodge torpedoes."

[9:07] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian is standing near his console, being productive*

[9:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: By all probabilities that is what you ..in theory should have already been doing MIster Demor

[9:07] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Glances over her shoulder at the captain.* From the background i've read on you.. i'm not so sure how true that statemant is..

[9:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...most curious

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Didn't you hear Ms. Baker, V'Tira? You jinxed it."

[9:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well if someone is going to shoot at us I wish they would hurry up and do it. This is boring."

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *sigh* Ms. Hamilton. Today is my lucky day.

[9:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara is standing next to Damian, looking over his shoulder.*

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can always lower the inertial dampener output and do an L4 at full impulse if you really need a thrill, Ensign."

[9:08] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: What makes you say that?

[9:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: By any strategy...we should have already been engaged

[9:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she tunrs-- "You would do that for me?"

[9:09] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "With the Captain's permission. We did a lot of testing on the weapons systems, but the engines seemed a little neglected, don't you think?" *He smirks at Tiberius over his shoulder.*

[9:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It was always on a Sunday when bad things happened. Today is Friday, Ms. Hamilton.

[9:10] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he sighs* What? I'm not playing any games.

[9:10] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Right...

[9:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The engines should be running within normal parameters. Any problems with them, Tolar?

[9:10] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Smirks a little and shakes her head.* I'll take your word for it..

[9:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Daniels walks up to Nalie, looking irritated.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she grins as she turns back to her comsole and starts a sensor sweep of the system they are now approaching.--

[9:11] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Problems? Oh, no, they're functioning perfectly... within normal parameters. I've just been thinking that we never tested them OUTSIDE of normal parameters."

[9:11] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks up at Daniels as she approaches*

[9:11] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian turns to look at her* Yeah.. so you can stop with the babysitting now?

[9:12] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not that I'm looking for a fight, mind you, but I am itching to see just how maneuverable this ship is."

[9:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *scratches his chin* Perhaps we can get permission to hot rod it.

[9:12] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *In sickbay, the nurses are reviewing the Comfort's listed supplies and treating a few sick crew.*

[9:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I'm not babysitting.

[9:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --beep boops out a scanning pattern.--

[9:13] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I haven't had much of a chance to take the helm in the last year, but I'm more than happy to fill in while our pilot is being treated for the terothka virus."

[9:13] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He looks at the readout.* "Five minutes to drop."

[9:14] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Alright then.. *He goes back to his console*

[9:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I don't like it when my time is wasted.

[9:14] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Five minutes. Yesss.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *he leans back in his seat and tents his fingers*

[9:15] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *raises an eyebrow at Daniels*  You mind clarifying for me?

[9:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --as she actively scans the system as they approach she also looks up data on the Kinjun system.--

[9:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ms Tegan....if i asked you to include some impulse engine readings to incorporte into your scans would you do so?

[9:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns to V'Tira-- "Incorporate how? Do you wish for me to scan for a particualr impulse signature?"

[9:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a selection of a fw probable ones yes..along with a cross section of various...in common use cloaking field signatures

[9:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Oh I would certainly do that In fact I could probably set up an algorithm to automatically check for particular possible impulse contacts."

[9:19] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We're approaching the Kinjun system. Slowing to one-half impulse." *He places his fingers over the warp throttle controls and drags it down to a full stop, while his left hand scrolls the impulse -

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: - throttle up. The stars streaking by on the viewscreen would fade into nonexistence as the ship dropped out of warp.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Very good. Safe arrival; take that, fate!

[9:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns toward the captain.-- "I am picking up three ships in the system, probably Klingon based on the readings I am getting."

[9:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to her- THat is indeed a sound concept please do so

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I see. I've always had good relations with the Klingons.

[9:20] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector drops out of warp, slowing to impulse at the edge of the sysetm.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this-

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What's their status?

[9:21] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Have you read the report from the Comfort?

[9:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Klingons eat wierd food."

[9:21] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Yes, yes they do, Ensign."

[9:21] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He eyes Ezri weirdly out of the corner of his eye.*

[9:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain...we have no reported Klingon activity in this section of space

[9:22] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I see. Can the ships be identified?

[9:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --begins incorporating impusle signatures into her scans, as well as trying to get more detailed scans of the Klingons.--

[9:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Scanning for identifcation currently

[9:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am trying to identify they now."

[9:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --turns toward V'Tira and smiles.--

[9:23] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *lifts the PADD she'd been reading*  I was looking over it now.  I'm guessing you're upset because it was a minor issue?

[9:23] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, whatever they are, they've undoubtedly seen us. Between our disproportionate energy profile and the active scans, we're not exactly hard to find."

[9:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to her with a small glint in her eyes before returning to check for allied signals-

[9:24] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *watches the ongoings quietly. She purses her lips and jots a few notes into a PADD.*

[9:25] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I recommend we go to yellow alert and raise shields."

[9:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Fascinating...we show them as the IKV Hah'vat....the IKS Kol'Targh and the IKS Ardent...and as expeted..KDF intel has them as decommissioned warships

[9:25] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Considering that information I would have to agree with Mister Demor.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods at V'Tira-- "Thaye are K'Tinga class cruisers, but they are showing heavy modifications. I am trying to figure out what those mods are for."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Standing by to assume defensive positioning between us and the Klingons, Captain."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: (*the Comfort and the Klingons)

[9:27] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "They don't seem to have spotted us. at least they are not taking any actions."

[9:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Klingon Defense Force reports that these three warship are supposed to be idle in a mothball fleet at the Gra'vet shipyards

[9:28] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Raise shields.

[9:28] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she grins at V'Tira-- "Maybe they are pirates."

[9:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Shields up, sir.

[9:29] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You should get on Tactical, Ms. Hamilton, in case it becomes necessary.

[9:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do believe your boredom is about to come to an end Ms Tegan -nods to her-

[9:29] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Yes.!" --she rubs her hands together ecitedly.--

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Shall I attempt to hail them, sir?

[9:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Yes.

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Hailing frequencies open sir...you are on

[9:30] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Scoots over to the tactical station and sets her PADD aside, fiddling with the controls and getting adjusted as she waits to see what happens next.*

[9:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain shall i alert the Comfort of our findigns and current alert status over an encoded and encrypted channel

[9:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ?

[9:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Go ahead, V'Tira.

[9:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once and sends the data stream to the comfort on an encoded channel-

[9:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Klingon vessels, this is Lt. Commander Asada of the Starship Protector. Please explain your presence in this sector. Over.

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No response

[9:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious...i wonder if they have no encoutnered something that has occupied them internally

[9:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Have they reacted in any way to our presence?

[9:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed they have...I am showing an increase of their ship to ship communications...the language is not Klingon

[9:33] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Has the universal translator found a match?"

[9:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Running their signals through now

[9:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The ranslator is ..having some surprising difficulty with the translation I am running a full analysis now

[9:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: translator*

[9:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --places a ear bud in and monitors the ship to ship comms coming from the Klingons.--

[9:35] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Any readings on life signs?

[9:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns toward the captain-- "They are raising shields now and powering weapons."

[9:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't think they are Klingons."

[9:35] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar taps the controls to maneuver the Protector between the Klingons and the Comfort.*

[9:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Damn right...I am not a babysitter.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Red alert, all hands to battlestations.

[9:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] It was ridiculous.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Inform the Comfort that we have trouble.

[9:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The older K'Tinga class warships had a compliment of 800 crew and troops

[9:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -signals the Comfort on an encoded frequency-

[9:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she begins attempting to jam their targeting systems-- "attemptint to jam their targeting systems."

[9:36] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: =^= Red alert...all hands to battlestations...

[9:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -attempts to jam their communications-

[9:37] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The red glow returns to the bridge and the rest of the ship.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The COmfort has receieved and acknowledges Captain

[9:37] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he looks back at Kara* Ok you can stop with the babysitting now!

[9:37] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara is running to her station.* Way ahead of you!

[9:37] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *shrugs with a chuckle*  Guess you have some real work to do now.

[9:38] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Continues to monitor her station, ready to act in a moments notice.*

[9:39] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] At least...

[9:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We have managed to scramble their signals..but their systems are resisting the full jam

[9:39] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Take us in at one half impulse and engage the nearest target.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I have managed to scramble their targeting systems for now, but I can't guarantee how long that will hold. But, for now they are firing blind."

[9:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Sir?

[9:39] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "With respect, sir, shouldn't we wait to see if they open fire first?"

[9:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks over her should to the captain-

[9:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: They've already stolen these vessels, upgraded their weapons, and taken an offensive stance at our arrival.

[9:41] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We might be able to take a few hits, but the Comfort won't.

[9:41] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "That may be true, but the theft of those vessels is technically not a Federation matter."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Fire to disable, and hopefully we'll have something to bring back to the Klingons.

[9:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: With all respect an  arugment could be made their posture is currently defensiveve Captain

[9:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods at the captains logic.--

[9:42] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *preps the weapons and begins to target the ships in order to disable them.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I recommend we try hailing them again."

[9:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Very well. Try hailing them again, Baker.

[9:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Aye sir.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Holds off from firing but is ready to press the big red button.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain..-stops as he gives his order-

[9:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Repeating your message, captain...we have an incoming response.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Interesting. Play it.

[9:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --swivles her chair to view the screen.--

[9:44] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The viewscreen comes to life as a humanoid's face fills the screen, not fitting the specific
depiction of any generally known species. He looks angry.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --frowns-- "He looks angry."

[9:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks towars the viewscreen dispasionately-

[9:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[9:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Greetings. I am Lieutenant Commander Asada of the Starship Protector.

[9:45] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid] Federation...this system is now the property of the Elasi clan...you will leave
immediately.

[9:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at that-

[9:47] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *raises an eyebrow* And how did that come about?

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she laughs a little and shakes her head--

[9:48] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar swivels in his chair to glare daggers at Ezri.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *had shot ezri a look as well.*

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "what?" --she asks quietly.--

[9:49] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid] We stake this claim as you drove our ancestors out of business...it is recompense.

[9:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns to her console and immediately begins to look something up-

[9:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I understand you have a greivance, but this won't get you anywhere. Why don't you power down your weapons and we can discuss this matter further?

[9:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -opens the found file and begins to rapidly study it-

[9:51] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid] Why would we trust those who murdered the great Cereth ajElasi?

[9:53] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I wasn't involved in that incident, and I'm certainly not here to murder anyone.

[9:54] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Questions that in his inner monologue but doesn't say it out loud.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -smirks just a little at that as shr reads-

[9:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shakes her head some at what she is reading-

[9:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --smivles and watches to see how the captain handles the situation.--

[9:56] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *Nalie twiddles her thumbs, biding time as nothing seems to be happening yet*

[9:56] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid] We grow tired of this charade. Will you allow us this system as our new home?

[9:57] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: This planet is home to a Federation colony. But if you're looking for a home, there are many
perfectly fine and unoccupied Class M planets out there. We could help you find one.

[9:57] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] No one's firing on us...

[9:57] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius leans forward and stares at the man, putting a finger to his right temple*

[9:58] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar feels like something is off about this whole situation, glancing over at V'Tira.*

[9:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks back to Tolar a moment and to her file before nodding to him-

[9:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man on the viewscreen scratches his head, as if pondering something for a moment. He steps offscreen to discuss something in another language.*

[9:59] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man on the viewscreen scratches his head, as if pondering something for a moment. He steps offscreen to discuss something in another language.*

[9:59] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *nods*  Not yet, anyway.

[9:59] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The language is foreign but it is obvious the argument becomes heated.*

[9:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: looks over to the captain as f to say she has found something-

[9:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at the captain, her eyes narrow suspiciously at him.--

[9:59] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] And that doesn't make you uneasy?

[9:59] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks at V'Tira with a very pleasant smile on his face and nods slightly*

[10:00] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Furrows her brows as she looks from the screen, to tib and then the screen again.*

[10:00] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: What, you expecting us to take one really big hit instead?

[10:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -is waiting since is still on an open channel to the Elasi-

[10:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns toward her console and calls up some information.--

[10:00] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Why don't you think about it and contact us shortly? We won't go anywhere, and as a sign of good faith, we won't advance any further.

[10:02] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The humanoid appears back in front of the screen, looking somewhat exasperated.* Yes...and we will not advance as well.

[10:02] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Fantastic. Keep our offer in mind. It's a great way of getting what you want without any kind of conflict. We would be glad to assist you in this.

[10:02] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Asada out.

[10:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain...I have identifed their race and its history with the Federation

[10:03] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Explain...

[10:03] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The viewscreen returns to space.*

[10:03] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar swivels in his chair.* "Well, if we're not going to be moving any time soon, I request permission to leave the bridge and deploy security personnel to the Comfort."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Can you do that from the bridge, Mr. Demor? I'd like to keep your on helm.

[10:04] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: In case negotiations break down, of course.

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns back around and looks nervously, and suspiciouly, at the captain for a while.--

[10:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] No, I expect ujs to be putting stress on the engines in some sort of engagement.

[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Such a precaution that Mister Demor is most lielly going ot be necessary sir

[10:04] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: If we get into a fight, the engines will be the least of our worries.

[10:04] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "A sensible precaution, Captain." *He turns around. Once his face is out of view from Tiberius, he glances at V'Tira.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Sir, the Elasi are a humanoid race native to Menalvagor. They are known to resort to piracy and were active in attacking Federation shipping routes in the 23rd century.

[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Enterprise, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, foiled their efforts several times including an attempt to help an anti-Federation faction start a civil war on Delphi Gamma VIII, a

[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Federation world.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Perhaps I was too hasty. If you believe it's absolutely necessary, Mr. Demor, you can leave once a relief officer has been summoned.

[10:05] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Speaking of which... where is that Reman of ours?

[10:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I knew it was vaguely familiar.

[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once to Tolar-

[10:05] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I have not seen her, ma'am.

[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Sir?

[10:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The name Elasi.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Like I've heard it before...

[10:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The COmfort is now offically requesting additional security aboard now...they have been onitoring our hails

[10:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Do what you can to make them comfortable, Mr. Demor.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Heh.

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she says out loud, to no one in particualr.-- "I don't know why they want this system, there is nothing here."

[10:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and if i may inquire sir..where have you heard the name..i was only able to find this one rather obscure reference

[10:07] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar nods to the relief helm officer and rises.* "I'll be in the armory getting everything ready."

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Heath takes his place.*

[10:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh, I don't know. I must have picked it up somewhere.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she mutters something about mind readers.--

[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Sir...requesst permission to assist Mr Demor, I can relay this intelligence to his officers immediately

[10:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Go ahead. I would love for our security officers to have all the intelligence they need.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *leans back in his seat and tents his fingers*

[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....0nods to her relief- I shall return directly

[10:09] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar exits the bridge with V'Tira in tow, walking side-by-side with her down the corridor.* "He
knows we know."

[10:09] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...itis quite probable -she keeps pace with him-

[10:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...a sharp increase again in ship to shjip communication...specifically from the HaH'vat to the Ardent

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmmm.

[10:10] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I knew it, the second I got those flowers on the Promenade."

[10:10] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "How did this happen again?"

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: If the negotiations fail, we need to deal with them swiftly. We can't risk the Comfort, or the safety of the colony just because these Elasi have a grudge.

[10:10] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He steps into the lift with V'Tira, whirling around.* "Deck three."

[10:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I m unsure..the mere fact that universe activities have grown silent is often an indication..that they are engaged in an operation

[10:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Flowers?

[10:11] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "With warmest regards to dearest Tolar."

[10:11] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "No sender."

[10:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: May I mae a recommendation?

[10:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: make*

[10:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Daniels begins pacing next to Nalie.*

[10:12] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He steps off the lift with V'Tira and walks down the corridor towards the armory.* "I'm open to suggestions."

[10:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We've done our due diligence and offered them a peaceful solution. The proverbial ball, as they say, is in their court.

[10:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: It might aid in such a confirmation...we do have one individual aboard who could recognize if a switch has indeed been made

[10:12] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Who would that be?"

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I am not sure what is being said sir...but there is quite a lot of it

[10:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Though it would...be a source of stress  for her...Lieutenant Nalie is of such an origin

[10:13] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Daniels*  If you wear a hole in the deck, you're replacing it yourself.  *she smiles, clearly understanding how Daniels feels*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: My guess is that I was very persuasive to their spokesperson, but the rest aren't on board.

[10:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: She given her reaction to our captain clearly has an experience with the imposter

[10:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Daniels sighs in frustration, offering her a return smile.* I used to do this in the Academy when waiting for results...

[10:14] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Right now, we've got to mobilize. Those ESPer containment protocols Lieutenant Decia and I proposed to Starfleet Security -- how many have been adopted as standard issue?"

[10:14] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I might one day have a career as a diplomat.

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] A possibly theory.

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy does her best to conceal any giggling.*U

[10:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --is now tap tap taping away on her comsole.--

[10:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *smirks and leans back in his seat, watching the main viewer intently*

[10:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: All current adaptive prootculs were carried over with the two of us when we transfered and put in place during construction

[10:15] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: At least we're not running your test again.

[10:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe the Adagio was the last to be refit last month

[10:16] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] At least I'd know what was coming next!

[10:16] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Those earpieces -- the wearable neurogenic energy generators, were any prototypes ever put into production?"

[10:16] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: What, impending doom?  Yeah that would be great.

[10:16] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] And I'd also know it was only a test.

[10:16] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: True.

[10:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- and the schematics are in the replicator systems...accessable by command and senior staff

[10:17] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances over at Damian*  Mister Snow, are your damage repair kits ready for deployment?

[10:17] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We'll need three. One for you, myself, and our chief engineer."

[10:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I have likewise managed to ... maintain a copy of the weapons supplied by Admira Asada on file

[10:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- I will see that it is done while i give my suposed briefing

[10:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: [sorry Arak :P]

[10:18] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I also want direct access to the secondary command subroutines. If he's who we think he is, I'll destroy this ship before I let him carry out whatever agenda he may have."

[10:18] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He nods and turns to face her* I never leave my bed without it.

[10:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods and hands him an isolinear chip-

[10:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: O that are my personal codes to the ACCI system...i feel it is best if we both have them

[10:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: On*

[10:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Do recall the ACCI system is set to cooridnate many ships as one..in a sense the system cna be used to lock down the ship

[10:19] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks over at Hamilton*

[10:19] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar nods, stepping into the armory. He raises his voice to get the attention of everyone present.* "Listen up, crews, we've got a freighter to secure."

[10:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I will see Nalie is made aware and given such codes as well

[10:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -moves to the nearest replicator and sends a message to Nalie-

[10:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Those in the armory rise and collective state:* Yes sir!

[10:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: So, Ms. Hamilton. Are you ready if the situation arises?

[10:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bip] Will you be accompanying us, sir?

[10:21] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] *quietly*...I can second that.

[10:21] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Alpha and beta teams, gear up and report to the transporter bay. Sivok, you'll lead alpha team. McNayr, lead beta."

[10:21] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *nods, looking down at her console and tapping at it as she replies*  Good answer.

[10:21] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "The coordinates should be ready when you arrive."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Oh I am always ready when situations arise.

[10:22] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Deltas!" *He calls out to the back of the armory.*

[10:22] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -continues her messages as she finishes up replicatin task-

[10:22] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both officers nod and begin organizing the teams, already outfitted with weapons due to the alert status.*

[10:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both officers nod and begin organizing the teams, already outfitted with weapons due to the alert status.*

[10:22] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian slowly looks at Kara and shakes his head at her*

[10:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Very good. I've found that Tactical works best without hesitation.

[10:23] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A voice comes from the back of the armory* Sir...Squads Alpha and Beta at your command...

[10:23] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara sticks her tongue out at him.*

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy gives Amalia a concerned look at that statement.*

[10:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks around the bridge nervously--

[10:24] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *frowns slightly at her console, but tries to maintain composure*

[10:24] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm initiating the Animus Protocol. Beta team, secure main engineering and the main computer core. Alpha team, take positions on deck one."

[10:24] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Quietly to her* You're still fat. *He smirks and goes back to his console*

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dom rises from his seat and nods.* You heard the man...I'm taking Alpha to Deck One...Leo...get your team to engineering and the core!

[10:25] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dom rises from his seat and nods.* You heard the man...I'm taking Alpha to Deck One...Leo...get your team to engineering and the core!

[10:25] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Report suspicious behavior via non-verbal channels only."

[10:25] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Move out."

[10:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara looks aghast at this, giving him a death stare.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm?

[10:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -walks over to Tolar-

[10:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *ignores the MT*

[10:26] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar fiddles with his left ear a bit and nods to V'Tira.*

[10:27] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he winks and softly says to her* It's ok. I can fix that.

[10:27] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks up at Daniels, a look of horror on her face briefly before shifting into determination*  Activate the anti-esper protocols.

[10:27] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I will be on the bridge Mr Demor -departs-

[10:27] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Deltas nod and file out of the armory, splitting up and heading towards their respective assignments.*

[10:27] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Deltas nod and file out of the armory, splitting up and heading towards their respective assignments.*

[10:27] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Pushes herself to her feet and moves over to Tib.* Captain, if I may.. I don't believe that I agree with your assesment.

[10:28] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *tilts his head to the side* Is that so?

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy turns around in mild shock to observe Amalia.*

[10:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniel] The...uhhh...aye ma'am.

[10:28] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar heads to main engineering.*

[10:28] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks over at V'Tira as the Vulcan enters*  Lieutenant.

[10:28] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -eners engineering and walks over to nalie- Status report please

[10:29] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar steps past the Deltas and into the engine room.*

[10:29] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Delta Squad Braove have taken up defensive positions in main engineering.*

[10:29] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Indeed. It doesn't seem advisable in a starfleet mindset to take such a tactical route.

[10:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh, I concur. But we must always be prepared to use force if it is used against us, yes?

[10:30] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: We're all ready for a fight, but it'll take a minute to get the new protocols online.

[10:30] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Understandable, as I am sure you will agree

[10:30] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *she nods slightly as she reaches up casually to her ear*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: For defensive purposes yes. Though they have yet to take such actions.

[10:31] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Are the command bypass functions enabled?"

[10:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns-- "The bird of prey has broken off from the main group and is headed our way. They are targeting us."

[10:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Head back to Tactical, Ms. Hamilton. I think you spoke to soon.

[10:31] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Counselor?

[10:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Baker, hail the lead ship again.

[10:32] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Tolar*  Not yet.  It requires three senior officers to enable.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: * too

[10:32] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We have three right here."

[10:32] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Turns to face Shoa- Aye?

[10:32] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Nalie and nods-

[10:32] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He places his hand on the console for handprint recognition without hesitation.*

[10:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Hailing, sir.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Sighs and moves back to her station, muttering quietly to herself as she beeps away and sets up targetting just in case.*

[10:32] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Tolar and V'Tira*  You're sure about what you saw?

[10:32] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We wouldn't be asking this of you if we weren't, Lieutenant."

[10:32] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: I am certain of its probablity..if incorrect no harm has been accomplished

[10:33] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *takes a deep breath as she tries to reconcile the situation*  Okay.   *she places her own hand on the panel opposite Tolar's*

[10:33] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The humanoid reappears on the viewscreen, in great distress.* They have violated our orders! Their captain is of the ajElasi clan...he would not listen to reason!

[10:34] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -Does the same as the pair-

[10:34] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I understand. Our offer still stands for you, though. We will unfortunately need to defend ourselves if they open fire.

[10:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --begins beep booping to scramble the sensors of the approaching ship.--

[10:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Computer] Command bypass acknowledged as requested by: Lieutenant Tolar Demor, Lieutenant Nalie, Lieutenant V'Tira.

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks at what just appeared on her console but says nothing.*

[10:35] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *removes her hand after a moment*  I really... really hope you're wrong.

[10:35] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid] They will not stand a chance...this is suicide!

[10:36] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: As we have experienced before..no one wishes such more than Tolar or I

[10:36] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We will do our best to merely disable their ship, not destroy it.

[10:36] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man nods, looking aghast at all of this. The transmission ends.*

[10:37] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Computer, prime the auto-destruct explosives and stand by for countdown parameters.
Authorization code Demor-Delta-2-2-1."

[10:37] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ms. Hamilton, target their weapon systems. You may fire if they enter our weapons range.

[10:37] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: understood.. ship is 30 seconds from weapons range..

[10:37] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *stares at Tolar as he gives the command, dreading the possibility*

[10:37] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Targets their systems in attempts to disable only. She preps and is ready to fire.*

[10:37] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *This gets the attention of everyone within earshot.* [Computer] Auto-destruct requires secondary command authorization.

[10:38] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Computer...Lieutenant V'Tira...authroization code Peekaboo 1,2,5,7,9 Omega

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They are firing, sir!

[10:38] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Evasive maneuvers... return fire!

[10:38] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Opening fire! *she pushes the big red button and fires back.*

[10:38] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Computer] Command acknowledged. Awaiting parameters.

[10:39] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Upon initiation, jettison all escape pods and decompress the shuttlepod drop bay."

[10:39] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Shoa hands Cat something.*

[10:39] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Addendum...secure and seal external shuttle hanger doors

[10:39] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Takes the something and looks at it-

[10:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --does a structural analysis of the attacking ship, looking for weak spots in the shields and the ship that will enable a quickly disable them.--

[10:40] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar feels the deck plates heave as the shields take fire.* "We probably don't have much time."

[10:40] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: and lock out all transporters cargo inclusive

[10:40] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *after a brief moment*  Disable the warhead module too.

[10:40] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Computer] Commands acknowledged.

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Taking evasive action!

[10:40] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....we are required on the bridge

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath roll]

[10:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [BOP roll]

[10:41] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -places a hand on Nalie's shoulder- Thank you Lieutenant

[10:41] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Theoretically, they shouldn't pose much of a threat to us.

[10:41] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -She looks to Shoa, then to the PADD then to Shoa- We have an ESP problem?

[10:41] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Set countdown at thirty minutes. Mute voice warnings."

[10:41] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *nods, not daring to look at either of them lest she lose her composure*

[10:42] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Computer...I concur

[10:42] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Amalia's shots glance off the bird of prey, knocking it sideways but not before it gets a shot off on the Protector, causing the ship to shake.*

[10:42] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -slips her ear piece into place-

[10:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Commander] Autodestruct timer set for 30 minutes. Voice warnings will be disabled.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib scratches his chin* Damage report?

[10:43] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Grips her console performing the obligatory camera jiggle shake scene.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He looks between the two, a pause lingering for a moment before he finally exhales.* "Enable."

[10:43] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: We are from this point on committed

[10:43] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] First I have heard of it ma'am...we are prepping sickbay in the event we will have to contain someone.

[10:43] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *grabs the sides of the console as the ship shakes*  You owe me a dozen escape pods if we survive this.

[10:44] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -braces herself showing little to no emotion at the violent shakes-

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy's voice stammers somewhat.* Shields at 89% and holding sir...

[10:45] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Time for a mutiny."

[10:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That stung a little more than I thought it would.

[10:45] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar opens the engineering weapons locker and grabs a phaser rifle.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: shields are at 75%

[10:45] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -quriks a brow at this and follows-

[10:45] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He hands it over to V'Tira and then takes one for himself.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: their shilds**

[10:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Keep it up, Hamilton. Try to minimize loss of life, if possible.

[10:46] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Nods at Shoa- Hopefully that won't have to happen.

[10:46] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -sets to the required modulation and setting-

[10:46] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *watches them take both of the allotted phaser rifles for Engineering*

[10:46] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar nods to Nalie before leaving engineering and heading for the turbolift.*

[10:46] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We have twenty-eight minutes before this ship explodes."

[10:46] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Better make this quick."

[10:47] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed haste in this case truly does make waste

[10:47] [DOIC2] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Deck one."

[10:47] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -draws a breath and nods-

[10:47] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks down at the console as they leave, taking several long moments to compose herself.  Finally, she looks up.*

[10:47] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed haste in this case truly does not* make waste

[10:47] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *The pair ascends in the lift to deck one and power-walks down the corridor with their rifles raised, likely drawing the attention of any uninformed officers.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Remember, most of the crew are in that bulb on the front.

[10:47] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] I don't understand why it would ma'am...to be honest...we're all a little caught off guard by this

[10:48] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hitting them just above the engines should make it very difficult for them to engage us.

[10:48] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: We might die in a few minutes, but until then, we're going to keep this ship in fighting shape.  Damage teams to your positions, everyone else, monitor your stations.

[10:48] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Glances over her shoulder, looking at tib.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns toward the tactical officer-- "I am detecting a weak spot in the plasma relay system, just below the nose of the bird of prey. A strike there should disable their power systems."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am sending you the exact coordinates."

[10:48] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: It makes no sense... -she says turning to ehr console and typing-

[10:48] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He stops outside the bridge door and looks to V'Tira.* "This is your last chance if you want to back down."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Only take the shot if you can avoid breaching the crew compartment.

[10:49] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -look to him- We are committed to this. and now just wating time -said matter of factly-

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "There is moderate likely hood the crew should survive."

[10:49] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Her teams nod, many of them looking shaken to their core as they return to their stations.*

[10:49] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "In that case..."

[10:49] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Moderate likelyhood?

[10:49] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar presses the door control, and they enter the Bridge.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I don't want moderate.

[10:49] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: folows with him-

[10:49] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: If it risks the crew of the Bird of Prey, don't take the shot. the choice is yours, Hamilton.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I'll not risk lives.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He wastes no time.* "Ensign Heath, hard starboard escape vector, full impulse."

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Wait, what?

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Belay that order.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We can't leave the Comfort undefended.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Jump to warp six as soon as we're out of weapons range."

[10:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "What the target is well away from the crew compartment. They have a better chance of surviving than if we blas their ship out from under them."

[10:50] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Arcs a brow as she looks over her shoulder at tolar and v'tira. She stands to her feet.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Heath turns arouind to Tolar, confused.* Sir...

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] The Comfort is still in the system...

[10:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ms Baker do please advise he Comfort of ur manuever

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks at Tolar and V'Tira* What are you doing, Tolar?

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He levels his phaser rifle at Tiberius.* "Do it, Ensign. We've got bigger problems to deal with at the moment."

[10:51] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What the hell is wrong with you? *he stands up*

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] What is this?!?!?

[10:51] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Please explain yourself Mister Demor..

[10:51] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Stay on course, Heath. Hamilton, keep working to disable the Bird of Prey.

[10:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -movr to the other side of the command chair-

[10:51] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -runs her fingers through her hair- Shoa... why is the Captain's Medical records classified to such an extent?

[10:51] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "The Animus Protocol is now in effect. Captain Asada is relieved of command."

[10:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --swivels around looks on curiously--

[10:51] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What?

[10:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ms Baker as Operations officer confirm the protoculs is in place

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "If you check the internal sensors, you'll notice that all escape craft have been jettisoned, the shuttle drop bay decompressed, and the self-destruct explosives armed on a twenty-five minute timer."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "What is this? A mutiny?"

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Hard starboard, Ensign. Warp. Six."

[10:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy turns back to his console, knowing what she will find.* Lieutenant Demor is correct...Ensign Heath...do as he says.

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What in the hell?!

[10:52] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: What!

[10:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captan...stand down if you please

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We will not leave the Comfort. Stay here, Heath.

[10:52] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Turns to her console and boops away at it quickly, checking to see if what he says is true.*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Continue your actions at Tactical, Hamilton.

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "They've been notified of our escape vector."

[10:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ms Baker order the comfort to withdrsaw in formation with us please

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "They'll follow us out of the system."

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Aye ma'am.

[10:53] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: This sounds very much like a mutiny. I can't believe you, Tolar.

[10:53] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *fidgets with her console, trying not to think about what must be happening on the bridge*

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason nods and hesitently walks back to his console.*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "The night we met, on Starbase 220. We were going to engage in a sporting activity for recreation. What was it?"

[10:53] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are you insane?

[10:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Lord help us if you three are wrong...

[10:53] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: It is confirmed.. Tolar, I hope you can help me understand your reasoning behind such drastic measures..

[10:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: answer his question Captain

[10:54] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Don't remind me.... We just finished building her too.

[10:54] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh, dear god. What kind of ridiculousness is this?

[10:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: answer his question Captain

[10:54] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Answer the

[10:54] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Isn't that from before our time here? And you can call me Jad, Counselor.

[10:54] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances toward the weapons locker, as if considering something dangerous.

[10:54] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: question." *He visibly maximizes the phaser rifle output setting.*

[10:54] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Sorry, Jad.

[10:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -does as Tolar with her rifle as well-

[10:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks at Tibs expectantly then to Tolar--

[10:55] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Much of it was classified when he came on board...the Sentinel got into some messy business taking down Salvation from what I heard.

[10:55] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *His determination and thinly veiled contempt is unwavering.*

[10:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shows not an ounce of emotion and looks like will feel nothing if she guns him down-

[10:55] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are you under the influence of something or someone?

[10:55] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Paces around slightly- So he could be an ESPer? But who'd want to enable the Anti-ESP protocals?

[10:55] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Funny, I could ask you the same question."

[10:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: answer his question captain

[10:56] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector turns and jumps to warp, and the Comfort follows as instructed. The bird of prey ceases its pursuit.*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Now why don't you answer mine? You have three seconds."

[10:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ironically..time is a factor

[10:56] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *suddenly turns, walks over to the locker, and pulls out one of the two hand phasers.  She looks toward Daniels*  You're in charge here until I come back or this is over.   *with that, she leaves*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *ponders for a moment before reaching for his own phaser located on the side of the chair*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar shoots the console as Tiberius moves.*

[10:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -fires at the pahser he is reaching for-

[10:57] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Daniels blinks and yells out.* Good luck.

[10:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --jumps startled as the phaser shots go off--

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [pause...everyone taking an action please roll]

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Amalia...please emote an action and roll if combat oriented]

[10:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns and uses the internal sensors to scan all the involved parties.--

[10:58] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] I don't know...

[10:59] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Rushes over to the closest weapon's locker and pulls out a phaser, aiming it at the others cautiously.* Alright We need some explanations and NOW!

[10:59] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Would it be in the Computer logs? -she ponders-

[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Amelia- Lieutenant The Animus Protocol is now in effect.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *immediately regrets issuing these guys some awards*

[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [lol]

[11:00] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: ((lmao))

[11:00] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: That.. tells me nothing.

[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- curious Lieutenant..given it is a command protocul

[11:01] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I've never heard of it.

[11:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious..as the incident involving you..was its gensis

[11:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: genesis*

[11:01] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It's a bluff, Hamilton.

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Tolar's shot at the console misses.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is no bluff Lieutenant -to Amelia- it is an axtive command protocul Ms Baker has confirmed this

[11:02] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Furrows her brows and maintains holding her weapon at the others.* How about instead of some code names you flat out state your reasons.

[11:03] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You'll know why as soon as the Captain answers my question."

[11:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Tibs0 Why do you not answer Mr Demor's simple inquiry aptain?

[11:03] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "It is, Captain, isn't it? Not Lieutenant Commander?"

[11:03] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Go on then. answer quickly.

[11:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: A wise suggestion Ms Hamelton given the current situation

[11:03] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Must be so demeaning to have your accomplishments stripped from your collar."

[11:03] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] All that is in the logs is that the Animus protocol was activated.

[11:04] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: The what what?

[11:04] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib raises his phaser at Tolar* Don't make me do this. Seriously.

[11:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain..if you do not disarm I will fire on you

[11:04] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] The Animus protocol...it is a newer defense protocol written to combat ESPers in the wake of the Project Salvation scandal

[11:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I will not repat this..and as you know vulcans do not bluff

[11:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib swings around and fires a stun shot at V'Tira*

[11:05] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar takes that opportunity to fire a fully powered shot at the center of Tiberius' mass.*

[11:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -fires immediately-

[11:06] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *steps through the door behind Tolar just in time to see all of this happen*

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both V'Tira and Tibs miss, hitting the walls.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *utters a string of curses and something involving a wallaby as she fires off a stun shot at the captain as well.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -stands her ground and ais to fire once more-

[11:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: aims*

[11:07] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: If that's been activates then clearly there's an ESP problem.

[11:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Amalia's stun shot is right on target and Tibs falls to the ground.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --crawls under her console.-- "And they call me crazy." --she mutters.--

[11:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -repositions to keep him covered never wavering her aim-

[11:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *falls to the ground like a sack of potatoes, dreaming of courtmartialing the hell out of everyone*

[11:08] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Alright.. care to do some more explaining or do i need to fire off more shots?

[11:08] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar walks over and casually and forcefully kicks the unconscious Tiberius' head with prejudice.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *smooth move tolar*

[11:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Lieutnat hamelton, there is no need for further hostiites

[11:08] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *walks over toward the unconscious Tiberius, clearly uneasy*

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy just stands there in stunned silence, monitoring the rest of the ship.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: There exsists a high probaility that this is not the captain

[11:09] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Who is it then?

[11:09] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Deltas, move in on the Bridge. Take Commander Asada to the brig and secure him behind a the appropriate force field."

[11:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: He has been on a previous occasion replaced by his dopplegnger from the mIrror Universe

[11:09] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *kneels down beside Tibs and pulls his shirt up, looking for something specific on his chest*

[11:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That incident nearly destroyed the USS Sentinel with all hands

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V'Tira and Tolar spektically.--

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Delta does not respond, but instead Alpha team immediately swarms the bridge, Dom leading the way in full armor as they secure Tibs and take him away.*

[11:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Itt is something mr Demor and both experienced

[11:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and I*

[11:10] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar keeps his rifle aimed at the unconscious form, his eye twitching with barely restrained rage.*

[11:10] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks up at Tolar* Does yours have these scars?

[11:11] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar moves around the body, keeping his aim level with the head as he looks at the area Nalie indicates.*

[11:11] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jad nods, then shows her PADD to Cat.* Look at this...there has been a change in command.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: That is quite concerning.. *She shook her head, trying to go over it all in her head.*

[11:11] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks at the PADD and blinks-

[11:11] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *frowns*  Where are the scars?

[11:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Amelia- I do hope that we are incorrect

[11:12] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks up at V'Tira, then back at Tolar*  What... did you make me do?

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she climbs up into her chair.-- "Are you people kidding me? When they arresst you I want it pointed out I had nothing to do with this."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We'll perform a quantum scan on him to determine his origins when we have him in custody."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sivok, get him out of here."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Can we cancel that self destruct by the way??

[11:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Ezri- Command protoculs were followed

[11:13] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: =^= Ensign MacFarlane to Lieutenant Hamilton.

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sivok] Aye sir. *The Vulcan and the rest of the Deltas drag him off the bridge.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *drops back onto the deck*  All of this...

[11:13] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Computer, cancel Animus Protocol and stand down self-destruct. Authorization Demor-Delta-2-2-1."

[11:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -slings her rifle and turns it over to one of the dletas-

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Computer] Command acknowledge...self destruct requires secondary command verification.

[11:14] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs, then turns back to her console.--

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We have 3 minutes to disable the self destruction sequence...

[11:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Computer this is Lieutenant V;Tira...I concur..cancel ship's autodestruct routine

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Computer] Self destruct aborted.

[11:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns and returns to her console as if nothing has occured

[11:15] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Lieutenant Baker, contact Starbase 220. Inform them of our situation."

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Aye sir...*she turns to Amalia.* Lieutenant Hamilton...you are now in command.

[11:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns and heads over to kneel beside Nalie-

[11:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Nalie?

[11:16] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Lets out a nervous breath as she holds her weapon at her side now.* I truely hope you are correct in your assesment of the captain.. putting a -lot- of faith in the two of you..

[11:16] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks up as V'Tira approaches, her cheeks stained with silent tears*

[11:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -reahes out with an uncharactritic tenderness to dry them- You acted as per protocul

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] *to Amalia* Ma'am...I have an incoming call from sickbay for you.

[11:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Tibs is dragged into the brig and secured there. Two Deltas are left to guard him for now.*

[11:17] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Alright let's hear it.

[11:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: "=^= Ensign MacFarlane to Lieutenant Hamilton."

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: "=^= Ensign MacFarlane to Lieutenant Hamilton."

[11:17] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *flinches at the touch initially, but relents to the help*  I....  *she looks over at the burn spot on the carpet*  Damnit, Tolar, you ruined it!

[11:17] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: =^= this is hamilton, go ahead.

[11:18] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: =^= Uhm, ma'am - Has something happened to the Captain, apparently there has been a Command Change, and the Anti-ESP Protocals were enabled?

[11:18] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Consider it a momento. If this pans out, that burn mark is a trophy."

[11:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Nali..forgive the dmage..even if we were incorrect..this had to be verified

[11:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Starbase 220 has been notified...they are requested a full report on the events that occured.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *just looks at V'Tira, as if she doesn't comprehend*

[11:20] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Tell them they'll have it, and ask them to dispatch a ship to rendezvous with the Comfort and continue with the original escort."

[11:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Understood.

[11:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If it was the other universes version of him...he wouldve harmed a great many people

[11:21] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Heath, all stop and await further orders from Commander Hamilton."

[11:21] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: (*Acting Captain)

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] All stop, sir.

[11:22] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *Nods slowly, then pushes herself to her feet*  Can I have my phaser rifles back now?

[11:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Delta secured mine

[11:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -rises with her-

[11:22] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector comes to a halt, as does the Comfort beside it, both dropping out of warp.*

[11:22] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib starts to slowly wake up in the brig*

[11:23] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Easy there, sir.

[11:23] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Tony

[11:23] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What the hell is this?

[11:23] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Baker, hail the Comfort and inform them that we're awaiting an escort hand-off. Nothing too detailed, just that an emergency has occurred and we're awaiting further orders."

[11:23] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Tell me you're not complicit in the mutiny, Tony.

[11:23] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: =^= That is correct. The captain is currently in the brig and we are working to resolve the situation currently.

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The Comfort would like to state how entirely...confused they are at the current orders...but are following them to the letter.

[11:24] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: What is the status on the klingon ships?

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes sir.

[11:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Lieutenant Hamelotn..note please for the log that you are in command

[11:24] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: =^= Uhm... is he alright, ma'am?

[11:25] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *turns toward the hatchway*  I guess I'll just go back to Engineering...

[11:25] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Nalie."

[11:25] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Shuffles over to the chair and takes a seat.* It is noted.. Lieutenant hamilton taking command.

[11:25] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: *stops and looks at Tolar*

[11:25] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You /do/ know that they just took the ship by force, right?

[11:25] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You remember when you first came aboard. I asked you to give the Captain a chance."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "That man I just shot doesn't deserve a chance. Scar or not."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: =^= we are unsure at the moment. The current status is that he may be an imposter.

[11:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Amelia- Captain...the Elasi ship did not prusue us..it remained in the system

[11:26] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: If it's really him.

[11:26] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *She looked to V'Tira and tolar for more answers.*

[11:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] I'm aware of what occured, sir. The Animus protocol was activated.

[11:27] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What the hell is this Animus Protocol? Is that what they're calling mutiny these days?

[11:27] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: (*shot AT)

[11:27] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I wouldn't have done this if I didn't believe it was."

[11:27] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *His hardened serious expression softens a bit at that.*

[11:28] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Turns around to Jad and raises a brow-

[11:28] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] It is the ESP defense protocols first established by Lieutenant Tolar Demor and Lieutenant Decia Valerina on the Sentinel. I thought you would be familiar with it.

[11:28] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Wait, what? ESP?

[11:28] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Tony nods.*

[11:28] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: They think... what?

[11:28] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: Yeah, well... let me know when my court martial is going to be.  Until then, I'll be in Engineering.  *she turns and storms off the bridge*

[11:29] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] They have reason to believe you are an ESP related threat, sir.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Alright let's hear it.

[11:29] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *laughs* What the hell, Tony?

[11:29] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's insanity.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar sighs, then turns to Amalia.* "Your ready room?"

[11:29] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] Sir...this is all well above my grade. I follow orders.

[11:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns to Aemlia as Tolar asks this-

[11:30] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You're following illegal orders. If I was running around, juiced up on ESP, you really think a stun shot would have done anything? Or this forcefield, for that matter?

[11:30] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Purses her lips and gets to her feet* Alright.

[11:30] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *walks back into Engineering, gingerly placing the unused phaser back into its slot in the weapons locker before turning to face her team*  So I'm probably going to be court martialed later...

[11:30] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I'll speak with tolar first. V'tira you monitor the bridge.

[11:30] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar walks to the hatch, waiting for Amalia.*

[11:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Acnowledged

[11:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I have the conn

[11:31] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] None of us stopped you.

[11:31] [DOIC4] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He walks down the corridor with her in silence until they reach the office.*

[11:31] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *In channel 5*

[11:31] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Tony, we need to retake the ship.

[11:31] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] This forcefield is compliant with Animus regulations, sir.

[11:31] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He waits for the door to shut.*

[11:31] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Makes her way into the ready room and takes a seat.* Alright let's hear it.

[11:31] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Did you get all that, Jad?

[11:32] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: When a mutiny breaks out, you stop the mutineers.

[11:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Tony looks to Leo at that and they both chuckle.* Sir...if you are innocent...those responsible will be in here instead of you the moment we reach a starbase.

[11:32] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: You're all protected either way.  I took direct action, you didn't.  Orders or not, you didn't participate.

[11:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Leo] We will see to it sir...personally.

[11:32] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I wouldn't laugh. Right now, you're complict in the mutiny.

[11:32] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Naked oil wrestling. That was the answer to the question."

[11:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] Regulation was followed to the letter, sir.

[11:33] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Leo] We checked it out before acting on the orders.

[11:33] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "He would have known that."

[11:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Yeah...I just...I dunno what to thjink.

[11:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The other nurses look rather shaken.*

[11:33] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "A year ago, we initiated a physical relationship after we challenged each other to a naked oil wrestling competition."

[11:33] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Rubs two fingers on her temple and sighs.* Alright and that tells us he's some sort of imposter because he wouldn't answer your question.

[11:34] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You'll continue to follow orders on a different posting, then. *he sits down on his bench and folds his arms, saying nothing further*

[11:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Did you do what you thought was right?

[11:34] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I transferred to the Sentinel to be close to him, explore our connection. Little did I know, he had been replaced by a psychoactive counterpart from a parallel reality."

[11:35] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "This... counterpart... manipulated my mental faculties and regularly sexually assaulted me."

[11:35] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: That's.. Tolar that is quite the story..

[11:35] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *They exchange looks with raised eyebrows at that.*

[11:35] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *leans against the center console*  I don't know anymore.  They said all the right things to trigger a response, but... I don't know.

[11:35] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -She turns around to face all of them, and offers a slight smile unsure what to think herself- It'll be alright, this wou;dn't of happened without just cause I'm sure.

[11:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] In that moment...did you believe it was right?

[11:36] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: And you think he is this.. counterpart again? How long do you think this has gone on for?

[11:36] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *They nod, still looking unsure of themselves.* Could it be...munity? *One of them muses.*

[11:36] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I don't know. I hadn't noticed any changes until I left him on the promenade on Deep Space Nine."

[11:36] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Before I did, I received an anonymous bouquet of flowers, addressed to 'My Dearest Tolar'."

[11:37] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Fiddles with her hair nervously- That thought has crossed my mind.

[11:37] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "He didn't seem to know anything about it. But then, right then... I knew."

[11:37] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "He was back."

[11:37] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Leo] Look sir...if you are innocent...you will be vindicated. But right now...you are not in command. It's the same principle if the CMO relieves you due to a medical condition.

[11:37] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "And watching."

[11:37] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I... I guess so.

[11:38] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "That man in the Captain's chair? Breaking the rules of engagement. Testing loyalty."

[11:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy walks over to V'Tira. She looks rather shaken.*

[11:38] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Tiberius had something to prove when he took command of this ship, but he wouldn't break the rules. Not with all the Admirals breathing down his neck."

[11:38] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I do hope you are correct.. as I just assisted in this..

[11:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks over to Cathy- Yes Catherine?

[11:38] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "That man you just shot, that isn't the Captain."

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What...on Earth...is going on?

[11:39] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know I wouldn't have acted on this if I didn't believe that with every fiber of my being."

[11:39] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Then the question now becomes.. where -is- the captain?

[11:39] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I wish I knew."

[11:39] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: This is insanity.

[11:39] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We should set course back to Deep Space Nine, retrace the Captain's whereabouts and begin an investigation immediately."

[11:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: There was a high probability of replacement by his mirror universe coutnerpart, it wouldve been illogical given his high esper rating to not act

[11:40] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] By the logs, you were relieved of command before we even entered the bridge.

[11:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If he is truly our captain he shoul dunderstand our actions

[11:40] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: So it was all done behind my back...

[11:40] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Leo] Sir...mind if I play a hypothetical?

[11:40] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Go ahead.

[11:40] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Nods* I agree, I think that may be our best option.

[11:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Leo] If you are a threat to the ship...or believed to be so...would it not be prudent to make the move out of sight?

[11:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Why would his mirror counterpart do such a thing?

[11:41] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Have you ever asked what "proof" or on what basis they made this decision?

[11:41] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Or did you just go along blindly with the mutiny?

[11:41] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "With your permission, I'd like to interrogate the prisoner."

[11:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I'd follow you into the depths of hell then, boss. As long as you believed it was right.

[11:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks embarrassed*  Thanks.

[11:43] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tony] I followed orders sir. If there is no proof there will be hell to pay.

[11:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- They are behind us in technology in many regards, his previous mission aboard the Sentinel was to aquire Project Salvation technology and intelligence

[11:43] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Hmm, I am unsure of if that is such a wise course of action.. I know you likely know him more than most.. but there is also a lot of emotion there..

[11:43] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "He hates me, Amalia."

[11:43] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can get under his skin like no one else can."

[11:44] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I need to do this."

[11:44] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: And based on the head-kicking you gave him.. the feeling is mutual..

[11:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy shakes her head, walking over to lean on the chair. She lowers her voice.* I am frightened for you...

[11:44] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I was manipulated into thinking he was the love of my life, only during our nights, he'd let me remember that it wasn't really him just so he could see the horror, anger, and disgust on my face."

[11:44] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Then he'd wipe my memories so he could see that fresh expression over and over again."

[11:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -subtly reaches out to cover her hand with two of her fingers- What is done is done. Logic dictated no other course of action. The rating of the Mirror Univwrse Tiberius Asada...is comperable to his a

[11:45] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: All the more reason you -shouldn't- be the one to interrogate him..

[11:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: anilite s pror to the donfall of Project Salvation

[11:45] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I think a more neutral party such as V'tira should begin the questioning.. we need to confirm if that really is or isn't the captain.

[11:46] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "On the contrary, I believe it makes me the perfect candidate. He thinks he can manipulate me."

[11:46] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Folds her arms and looks to Jad- There is little we can do about it, either way I suppose.

[11:46] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "He'd be less guarded."

[11:46] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "No one knows him like I do."

[11:46] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Either one of him."

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.* I am not as familiar with this as you are...but I know of the horrors of Salvation

[11:46] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Sighs* If I allow you to do so.. you would have to have another assist you. I don't want you alone with him.

[11:47] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] You are right Counselor...let's get back to work people.

[11:47] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Then send me in with V'Tira."

[11:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once- It was...in a sense my first muitiny when we took command of hte Tihershark..I was but an ensign then in operations

[11:47] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We were both on the Sentinel, we know what he's capable of."

[11:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Tigershark*

[11:47] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Alright. the two of you can -question- him.

[11:48] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar nods.*

[11:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If there ws even the slightest of probabilities that it was him...the entire crew was in jeopardy. Mr Demor knows him better than anyone...i reasoned it was prudent to ..trust his instincts

[11:49] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He taps his combadge.* =/\= "Demor to V'Tira."

[11:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods, going to speak but then pausing at the sound of the combadge.*

[11:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= Go ahead Lieutenant

[11:50] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Meet me in the brig."

[11:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= Acknowledged

[11:51] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar exits Hamilton's office and heads to the holding cells.*

[11:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns to Amelia- I turn the conn back you Lieutenant

[11:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Cathy a moment and then turns to go

[11:52] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Nods* Thank you V'tira. Tolar is waiting for you. Please watch him in there.

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[11:52] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I'm taking the conn. *she settles into the seat. It fits her comfortably.*

[11:52] [DOIC5] Amalia@Mouse43dz: ((dangit))

[11:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Amelia- Yes Captain

[11:52] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Nods* Thank you V'tira. Tolar is waiting for you. Please watch him in there.

[11:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -then departs the bridge-

[11:52] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I'm taking the conn. *she settles into the seat. It fits her comfortably.*

[11:53] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar awaits V'Tira at the corner near the brig.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Motions to whoever is at the conn.* Set a course for Deep Space Nine. Warp 3.

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Aye ma'am.

[11:54] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The pair of Deltas remain guarding the brig.*

[11:54] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods as he arrives- Are you quite certain you are prepared to do this?

[11:54] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "As prepared as one can be."

[11:54] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -her tone softer than usual-

[11:54] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Very well..I wil be right beside you

[11:54] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He takes a deep breath, steeling himself before rounding the corner and walking up to the Deltas.*

[11:54] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Remain outside."

[11:55] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Well, well, well. If it isn't the wonder twins. What has your investigation revealed next? Baker is a changeling? Ezri is a Klingon? Please, let me know...

[11:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to both guards-

[11:56] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *They step inside, the door sealing shut behind them.*

[11:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Sarcasm...an interesting beginning

[11:56] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "If you really were who you're pretending to be, you'd drop the sarcasm and immediately understand why I did what I did."

[11:56] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *folds his arms and narrows his eyes*

[11:56] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Although perhaps that head injury of yours isn't helping things."

[11:56] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I can't believe you would do this. Why, Tolar?

[11:57] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know why, regardless of which TIberius you are."

[11:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[11:57] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: No, I mean. Specifically, why?

[11:57] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Does the picard point* engage.

[11:57] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You didn't answer the question."

[11:57] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector jumps into warp, heading for Deep Space Nine.*

[11:58] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You don't have the right to barge onto my bridge and hold me at gunpoint and interrogate me
unless you have damn good proof.

[11:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: This could have been disarmed before you escalated such sir

[11:58] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: And I want to know what you considered such excellent proof.

[11:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Starfleet has set rules of engagement

[11:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You broke them

[11:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivles around in her chair, looking bored.--

[11:59] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Remember the Imperium?"

[11:59] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Is that how logic works, Lieutenant? If someone doesn't follow the rules of engagement to your
liking, they must be a doppelganger from a parallel universe?

[12:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Irt was but one commonality to the probability of a reaccuring event

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy is doing her best to maintain her composure at her station.*

[12:00] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "If you were really who you claimed to be, you would understand why that's a damned good reason."

[12:00] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Takes this moment to revel in the cushy captain chair. She wiggled her butt a bit, making sure to get a good imprint in the seat.*

[12:00] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maybe you just can't fathom how much your counterpart has underperformed by comparison, hm?"

[12:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and as such probabilites are written into the Animus Protoculs we were left little choice

[12:01] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You have five different Admirals breathing down your neck, watching you like a hawk."

[12:01] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We were facing off against three heavily modified stolen Klingon cruisers, which had been commandeered by pirates.

[12:01] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You wanted this captaincy for years."

[12:01] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Baker?

[12:01] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You wouldn't jump the gun and jeopardize your command when you're already on thin ice."

[12:02] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: My command has been excellent. I've always been an excellent command officer. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove, Tolar.

[12:02] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You suggested the same approach when we encountered the Imperium in their realm. You wanted to destroy their flagship, the TalZa, instead of communicating with it."

[12:02] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Remember?"

[12:02] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: No, I don't!

[12:02] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Smart answer."

[12:03] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You're paranoid.

[12:03] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ever since you got that bouquet, you've been on edge.

[12:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: He would have good cuase to be...would you not think so as well sir?

[12:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes ma'am?

[12:04] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: All he has to do is send you a bunch of flowers and you'll do his job of throwing the whole ship into chaos.

[12:04] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Seems pretty under control now that you're in the brig."

[12:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: There is more to it than that do you not agree

[12:05] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: My god, he played you all so well.

[12:05] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar attempts a gambit.*

[12:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Sir I would be remiss in pointing out how dangerous such an esper is...our aptain woul dunderstand why we had to act swiftly

[12:06] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: You going to be alright there?

[12:06] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, ever since you came back from the dead, you've had the ability to read minds. I'm surprised you can't understand my thought processes."

[12:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: even if we were wrong logic dictates our captain would know we acted to safeguard the crew

[12:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I...it is a lot to process ma'am...but I will fulfill my duties as ordered.

[12:06] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I thought we were closer than that."

[12:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirs a brow at this and looks to Tibs-

[12:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] A lot to process...understatement of the fucking century.

[12:06] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks confused*

[12:07] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The first or the second time? What?

[12:07] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "How can you not remember, Tiberius?"

[12:08] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *seems genuinely confused by this*

[12:08] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He attempts a different approach.*

[12:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs--

[12:08] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "What's the name of my stuffed milnar cat?"

[12:09] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Too true.. But we'll manage as we always do. We're seeking out the answers now and once we hit deep space nine we'll get to the bototm of it all.

[12:09] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: bottom*

[12:09] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You mean Mr. Malar?

[12:09] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "And why is he so special to me?" *He tweaks the device behind his left ear.*

[12:10] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Your mother gave it to you when you were a child. It's pretty much the last memento you have of her.

[12:10] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He narrows his eyes at Tiberius, walking right up to the force field.*

[12:11] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know, there's still one question you haven't answered."

[12:11] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hm?

[12:11] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "The night we met, on the Starbase. We challenged each other to a sporting competition. What were we going to do?"

[12:12] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oil wrestling. Goddamn it, Tolar. You really messed this one up.

[12:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "If we are dealing with an alternate universe doppleganger wouldn't a quantum signature scan reveal the truth of the matter?"

[12:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes at that-

[12:12] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He simply holds eye contact with Tiberius, his expression unmoving.*

[12:13] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "What kind of oil wrestling?"

[12:13] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are you seriously asking me that?

[12:13] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You should know that, by now, I'm not going to be satisfied until you've met my personal burden of proof."

[12:14] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I can't believe you. Come closer to the forcefield.

[12:14] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "You can say it right there."

[12:14] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Just get out of here, Tolar.

[12:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I can assure you sir..i will not be shoced

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] *Cathy closes her eyes.*...you are correct.

[12:14] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Say it."

[12:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: shocked*

[12:14] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib turns around and sits down on the bench, closing his eyes and saying nothing*

[12:15] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar slams his fist on the force field, causing a cascade of blue energy.* "SAY IT."

[12:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -flinches at the outburst of raw pained meotion-

[12:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: emotion*

[12:15] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *shakes his head* We're done talking. You should have done a better job researching your suspicions before you pulled this sdtunt.

[12:15] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: * stunt.

[12:16] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --She leans back in her chair.-- "I just don't think all this drama was really all that necessary."

[12:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -steps down to Tolar her tone soft- Tolar..release him

[12:16] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not until he answers the question."

[12:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We are in error

[12:16] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We don't know that."

[12:17] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You've held me at gunpoint on my own bridge, shot me, and locked me up. I'm not going to be further degraded by answering this question.

[12:17] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Just leave, Tolar.

[12:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: He wishes to retain his dignity before me

[12:17] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Logically speaking, he could have extracted this information from our Captain to evade
suspicion."

[12:17] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I'm really taken back by the sudden actions taken.. *She looked down thoughtfully..* run that scan..

[12:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Scan him for quantum irregularites then

[12:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The computter can do so here in the brig folow the incicedent with Mr Dalton

[12:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns to her console and begins her scan--

[12:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Tib- This will not take long captain

[12:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Beginning quantum signature scan."

[12:19] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar turns and activates the internal sensors, running a sub-molecular quantum resonance scan on Tiberius.*

[12:19] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He runs a comparative analysis against all the other matter on the ship.*

[12:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes knowing full well what he is about to discover-

[12:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at the screen. -- "It seems I am not the only one running such a scan."

[12:20] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Rubs her hands on her knees as she ponders over the events.* Someone suddenly realizing the same thing?

[12:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Still based on my reading we are not dealing with anyone from another universe."

[12:22] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar runs the scan again to confirm.*

[12:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Still he is a creepy mind reader. Even if he isn't from another universe."

[12:23] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar re-calibrates the internal sensors and runs the scan again, his breath quickening.*

[12:25] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib is still sitting on his bench, eyes closed, arms folded*

[12:25] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar's hand shakes as he taps the controls, not turning or showing any emotion to them as the force field drops.*

[12:26] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *as he hears the force field come down, he just walks out of the brig*

[12:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Delta outside acknowledge his exit with a nod.*

[12:27] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar just stands there, staring at the control panel, his face not moving.*

[12:27] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -stops besde Tolar and waits-

[12:27] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -gently- You acted on what you believed to be best

[12:28] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *tib strolls onto the bridge* What's our status?

[12:28] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Taps her fingers and sighs. She jumps to her feet and eyes Tib cautiously.*

[12:28] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *After a moment, he responds, his voice cracking.* "I can't be here anymore."

[12:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy turns back to see Tibs on the bridge, now thoroughly confused.*

[12:28] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Tolar....if I may?

[12:28] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Where is Tolar and V'Tira?

[12:29] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *His eyes move to regard V'Tira, glassing over with emotion his expression otherwise doesn't betray.*

[12:29] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Probably convening another thrilling investigation.

12:29] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -merely steps forward showing litle emotion and just hugs him-

[12:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks at that, looking somewhat horrified.*

[12:29] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Frowns* We are currently on course to Deep Space Nine.. What happened in the brig?

[12:29] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Trust me, the thought of it scares me too.

[12:30] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *His eyes move to regard the panel again, slowly closing as tears fall freely from his eyes, his form shaking with emotion.*

[12:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Once they decided to employ a scientific method of investigating me, rather than jumping to conclusions based on paranoia and speculation, the truth became fairly apparent.

[12:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Do you want I should beam them into space sir?"

[12:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *motions to the console that Tolar shot* Get Engineering up here to fix that.

[12:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That won't be necessary, Ensign.

[12:30] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -softly- Why do you not simply retire to your cabin..I will offically ask for us to be relieved from duty

[12:30] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "We share a room."

[12:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Why are we on course to Deep Space Nine?

[12:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs and turns back to her console.--

[12:31] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *She tapped her badge* V'Tira, confirmation you are well and the captain is.. the captain?

[12:31] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: =^=

[12:31] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I offer my cabin then...my roommate is still aboard DS9..i do not require rest

[12:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= V'Tira here Lieutenant. The scans verify the cpatain is who he says he is. He is in command once more -her tone stiff and very formal-

[12:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Did anyone inform the people of Kinjun III as to the reason why their medical supplies have been delayed?

[12:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I did, sir.

[12:33] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Rubbed two fingers at her temple again as she stepped to the side.* We were heading for deep space nine to further investigate the actions taken here and the possibility of an imposter.

[12:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns-- "Um no sir, we just left them there with the pirates."

[12:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Another esocrt is on its way for the Comfort.

[12:33] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *rubs his forehead* God, could this have been screwed up any more than it has? Set course for Starbase 220.

[12:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Starfleet is also aware of the situation with the Elasi.

[12:33] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Another escort was going to take the comfort.

[12:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Aye sir.

[12:34] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *picks up his phaser from the floor and puts it back into the chair compartment where it usually is, then sits down*

[12:34] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I may as well just stay here. It's where I'm going to be anyway."

[12:34] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He takes off his combadge and hands it to V'Tira.*

[12:35] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I must ask why you felt the need to fire upon the others though? I felt that action alone was what prompted my change of opinion.

[12:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -seps bac- I will check in with you once...-accepts his combadge- I offically have us releived.

[12:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps you should stop off and see Catrinona

[12:35] [DOIC3] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar nods, then wordlessly walks into the cell and sits on the bench.*

[12:36] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns to go- I will return

[12:36] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I cannot countenance mutiny.

[12:36] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: star trek time :P

[12:36] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: ((Mt ))

[12:36] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: So you just start firing on the crew/

[12:36] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: ?*

[12:36] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -steps into the turbolift-

[12:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Bridge

[12:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -enter the bridge and walks silently over to stand beside Tibs chair at attention-

[12:38] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That is correct, Ms. Hamilton. V'Tira?

[12:38] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Folds her arms as she eyes Tibs a moment. She then looks to V'Tira.*

[12:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain, I repsectfully ask to be relieved of duty for myself and Lieuteant Demor as well

[12:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns toward the conn, frowns at little as she looks toward V'Tira.--

[12:38] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Your request is granted.

[12:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once and reaches out stiffly to hand him Tolar's combadge-

[12:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy turns away at this, trying to hide the tears streaking down her face.*

[12:39] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *accepts it and places it on the arm rest of his chair*

[12:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I am still shocked that this even happened in the first place.

[12:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -with that she slowly after a moment removes her own and offfers it to him- Sir

[12:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *nods at V'Tira*

[12:41] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *he takes it, but somewhat reluctantly*

[12:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -waits to be dismissed0

[12:41] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You are dismissed, V'Tira.

[12:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Sir -turns on her heel and takes her leave of the bridge-

[12:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Admiral Compton is going to be pissed.

[12:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I think it is important to note that I was not involved in this."

[12:43] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -pauses just outside of the bridge door and closes her eyes for a long moment-

[12:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] *through clenched teeth and clearly agited* I think that is obvious, Ensign.

[12:43] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ensign, you are practically a paragon of lawfulness at this point.

[12:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "okay that's good."

[12:44] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Moves over beside tib while letting out a quiet sign.* May I have a word with you in your ready room?

[12:44] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Yes. Baker, you have the conn.

[12:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods and wipes her eyes, walking over to the center chair.*

[12:45] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib goes into the ready room and sits down*

[12:45] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What did you want to discuss, Hamilton?

[12:45] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Follows along and takes a seat.* Well it's rather obvious isn't it..

[12:46] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm not leaving anything up to guesswork today.

[12:46] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I must admit to posing some concern over two skilled officers going through such drastic measures to protect the fleet.. Surely you can understand the reasons they did what they felt neccissary. But -

[12:47] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: - i also must point out the other concerns I have.. in that your actions today gave them pause and pushed them toward those conclusions.

[12:47] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I disagree on that point, Hamilton.

[12:48] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I too was fooled into believe the possibility of such an occurance once you weilded and fired your weapon at a crewmember.

[12:48] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: believing*

[12:49] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: A crewmember who stormed the bridge, armed, and held me at gunpoint during a battle with a pirate vessel?

[12:49] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: All while we were trying to deliver needed medical supplies to a war-torn colony?

[12:49] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( Oh yeh but she's talking about the fact I tried to shoot one of you :P

[12:50] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: A stressful situation indeed.. but I would never have imagined a captain would fire upon his own crew..

[12:51] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You're damn right I would under those circumstances. I would look down on any Captain who wouldn't. Mutiny is unconscionable.

[12:52] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: A simple quantum scan would have given them the information they needed. Instead, fueled by paranoia, they took an action that endangered the entire crew, the ship, the SS Comfort, and the >

[12:52] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: sick and dying on Kinjun III.

[12:52] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Tapped her fingers on her knees thoughtfully as she pondered her next actions.*

[12:53] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: They almost killed everyone on board this ship because of paranoia.

[12:54] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: If one of them ends up getting stunned in the process of their grossly reckless actions, then that's not too bad of an outcome considering the other possibilities.

[12:54] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Perhaps so. but tell me this.. why did you not answer their simple questions? If a quantum scan would have resolved the trouble.. you could have addressed that and answered their questions without -

[12:55] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: - resorting to firing upon them.

[12:55] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's not how this works. They don't get to barge in and wave their guns around and interrogate me during a combat situation.

[12:56] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: One of the big unwritten rules of Starfleet is that if you're going to pull some crazy, mutinous, unhinged plan... you do your homework first.

[12:57] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Now, you need to brace yourself because I guarantee you that I'm not what you need to be worrying about right now.

[12:57] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Let out a small sigh.* Indeed. I just felt like the tense situation could've been handled better..

[12:58] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I do apologize for taking action against you as I saw fit to react to the weapon's fire. I will relinquish my badge as the other two have if you feel it neccissary.

[12:58] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm not looking to collect combadges.

[12:59] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We need a game plan here.

[12:59] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: What is your idea?

[1:00] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I've got no idea. Admiral Compton is about to tear us a new one in a huge way.

[1:01] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I talked back to my commanding officer once and ended up on the permanent shitlist. Heads are going to roll this time.

[1:01] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Rubbed a hand over her face and sighed again.*

[1:01] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That woman already scares the hell out of me, but she's going to be on a whole new level of nuclear this time around.

[1:02] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: maybe we could just claim it -was- an imposter but we sorted it out.. *She gave him a half smile that died rather quickly.*

[1:02] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Part of me wants to slingshot around a star, alter the timeline, and take my chances with temporal investigations... rather that than face her.

[1:03] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: well.. you have my support for that one.. heh..

[1:03] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: This isn't going to be good for anyone.

[1:04] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We might just need to just bend over and hope for the best.

[1:04] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Surely there's something we could do..

[1:05] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Maybe that slingshot idea isn't so bad.

[1:05] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Chewed on her lip a little as she pondered how the hell she got here.*

[1:07] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We're all toast.

[1:08] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Well.. it was nice knowing you..

[1:08] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: If we get kicked out of Starfleet, I have a civilian ship if you wanna go flying around for a while.

[1:09] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It doesn't have a cloaking device, and it starts to shake if you go above Warp 6, but it's got a nice replicator.

[1:09] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I may just take you up on that. Got to have options.

[1:09] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Bet we could find some good jobs in that.

[1:10] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I named it the SS Berth Control, but I'm up for changing the name.

[1:10] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: That's.. yeah a name change might be good.

[1:10] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Well, it's a joke.

[1:11] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You know, berth, like a ship's dock?

[1:11] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Smirks faintly and shakes her head.* Yeah.. got that.

[1:12] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I thought it was funny. Oh well.

[1:12] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: We should probably work up some kind of report to offer them when we arrive..

[1:12] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Right.

[1:12] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Well, you do yours, and I'll do mine.

[1:12] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Don't sugarcoat anything, just give it to them straight.

[1:13] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I'll do my best..

[1:14] [DOIC3] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I'll work on writing up that report then if there is nothing further to discuss here..

[1:15] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Go ahead. I'll get back to the bridge.

[1:19] [DOIC5] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Hours later, Tolar is packing all of his things from Tiberius' quarters, dressed in civilian clothes.*
