MISSION PROLOGUE: The USS Aventura is having a face-off with two unknown vessels who have demanded the Defiant class ship transmit the proper codes to continue on towards the resistance base.  Lieutenant Commander Ilianor, thinking quickly, has fed the commander, Captain Terupi, lie after lie to no avail.  Needless to say, it's not working.  Will the truth unlock the way forward, or does the Aventura's flight end here?

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::stares at the XO, out of ideas::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::walks onto the bride, having finished his pacing outside in the corridor::  XO: Report.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::sitting in the rear of the bridge::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::watches the screen, fingers ready to get the ship out of there... anywhere for that matter::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Sitting at his console, still studying the sensor data, hoping he can find a weak spot in the defenses of the two vessels::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@COM: Aventura: Commander, identify yourself and transmit your codes or prepare to be boarded
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::faces his station monitors on the bridge, not liking the potential battle damage Aventura could suffer from the weapons of these alien ships::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::he remains seated, as he watches the screen, deep in thought:: CO: Captain, we have a situation. Two vessels, identities unknown, have stopped us, and are demanding we lower our shields and prepare to be boarded. I have tried to employ a cover, but... they don't buy it.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Have they identified themselves?  ::moves towards the CP staying out of video pickup::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: They have not. Which of course, is the problem... can we risk blowing our cover? Suppose they're Alliance... or suppose they're rebels. ::turns to the AS:: AS: Is it at all possible to jam ship-to-shore transmissions?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::whispers:: CP: If I give the word, move us out of here at maximum pulse drive speeds.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO:: Good Point, perhaps we can ask them for their codes
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
XO: I can try, but at this range, they're certain to notice my attempt to do so.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
DCO/CO: Remember, I tried that, they threatened to destroy us.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::watches the bridge crew quietly than sits back::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: At least if we have the option of jamming transmissions... they won't be able to get out a distress signal or call for reinforcements if anything should... happen, sir.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::nods to show that he heard, wondering where to go to... probably in the opposite direction, running like a hare with turpentine on its tail::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the XO::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: For what it's worth, sir, I might be able break into their computer systems and download the codes they're looking for.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Let me deal with this.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
IO/CO: Would they not be able to detect such an intrusion?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
IO: And can you do it fast enough?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::grins conspiratorially:: XO/CO: Not if I can help it. I'm not that careless.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
IO: Not yet.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
CO: Understood. Would you like me to unmute communications?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
IO: Please.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::nods and taps the button just as he speaks:: CO: We're back.
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Listens as a plan of action is being devised::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::sits up straight, looking to see what sort of diplomatic trick the CO might be planning::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Terupi: I am the captain of this vessel.  I believe we're having authentication problems?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::Quietly listens::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::watches the CO for a cue that would indicate "get in and steal the codes"::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@COM: Aventura: I believe we are.  Identify yourself and your vessel and your alignment and transmit your codes.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::picks up a a PADD and looks at the data on it than looks at a file on his computer screen::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::pays close attention to Lessing, hoping that he may learn something from this experience::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Terupi: And how do I know that I am not authenticating myself to someone who is not supposed to know my codes?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::grins and begins recording any incoming data streams from the ships::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@::Mutters something over his shoulder, and his ship fires a torpedo 50 km above the Aventura::  COM: Aventura: Because you are in my space.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::whisper::  XO: Commander? Can you come here?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::listens intently, while plotting a course out of there... anywhere but here::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::walks over to the DCO, continuing to listen:: DCO: What is it, commander?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Listens as the CO tries to talk them out of this::
Host LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Wonders how long this will take until this commander blows them away::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: I was just checking long-range sensors, they picked up a disturbance about 3 light years away.  Like there was a dampening field there scattering readings
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Terupi: Don’t make me fire back.  If you can tell me which faction you belong to, we may be able to come to agreement.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::grunts at the pathetic attempt to show dominance as he sees the torpedo pass by on sensors, studying its movement::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: I'm not sure what it could mean right now, but its highly unusual
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@COM: Aventura: You have violated resistance territory.  Fire back, and you will be destroyed.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::looks down:: DCO: That's... strange. Like, is there any way for you to refine your findings?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Terupi: And who are you resisting?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::looks at the CO than shakes his head and walks off the bridge heading for sickbay::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: I can try but without knowing the nature of the interference I'm shooting blind
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
DCO: Do the best you can. ::pats her shoulder::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::stands up and moves to the DCO's panel, seeing if he recognize the field as a derivation of any standard jamming technology::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::slaps his forehead:: Self: That's the clincher...

ACTION - The disturbance that Gomes has detected fluctuates...and almost as if from no where, three more fighter craft appear on the edge of the dampening field. They set course for the Aventura...

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the XO but not without glancing awkwardly at him when he taps her shoulder::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::quickly tried to increase sensor input and accuracy for that particular area of space, using a heuristic algorithm::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO/XO: Three more fighters coming at us
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::raises an eyebrow, and backs off:: DCO: Um... yeah. ::nods, then reacts to her statement:: DCO: Can you identify?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::thinks:: Self: This is.. strangely familiar. It's advanced but it's built on standards. ::tries cycling through known jamming defeaters to find what works best in a simulation::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::arrives in the sickbay and looks around getting things ready::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: All I can tell you is that its the same type of vessel as these two
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@COM: Aventura: You're either stupid or not from around here.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO/XO: Confirmed. They're moving on an intercept course with us.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: Or both ...

ACTION - Without warning, a series of codes show up on Lieutenant Kizlev's console, a series of encryption codes...

IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::overhears the conversation and stage whispers:: CO: Tell them who we're hunting!
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO/XO: Then we have a problem...
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks at the direct sensor feeds and nods:: Self: Great.. Just great...
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@COM: Terupi: You'd be right about the latter.  We're not from around here.  We're on a mission to apprehend the criminal Daryina Xia.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::eyes widen at the recognition of what shows up on his screen and he immediately shares what appears to be authentication codes with the IO's console::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::wasn't expecting the CO's bluntness::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@COM: Aventura: Where are you from, Captain?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::looks down and makes a "hallelujah" motion and waves the XO over::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::begins an attempt to crack the encryption algorithms and updates the effort in real time on the IO's monitors::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::rushes over to the IO:: IO: Success?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Terupi: Why don’t you pay us a visit and we can talk.  Are the three inbound ships I’m reading yours?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: Courtesy of Mr. Kizlev. Must be from those incoming ships.
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@::The sound of a sigh is heard::  COM: Aventura: Perhaps I will be paying you a visit.  Prepare to be boarded, Captain.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
SO: They are not very diplomatic are they?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
Text message to IO: Resistance Authorization codes.... access to "Safe Haven 312." End of line.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::goes over them quickly:: IO: Are those... ::he looks up and glances towards the captain, trying to get his attention::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks around to where she left her phaser::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Terupi: Those other ships, Captain, are they yours, or hostile?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: Safe Haven 312 access codes. I think we can say, quite confidently, that our Green Star is this universe's Alliance.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Glances to the XO::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Shrugs:: DCO: Would seem so.. I wonder how this will go over. ::Looks over to Lessing to see what he wants to do::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
@COM: Aventura: Those are mine.  Lower your shields.  Those of you who resist will be destroyed.  ::Ends the communication::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: Lower shields.  IO: Hide those codes.  Very well.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::looks around the sickbay and moves things around::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
All: Phasers just became standard uniform issue.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::stashes everything the AS has sent him into a secured computer location and grabs a phaser, tossing another to the DCO::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nearly hesitates with the order, but lowers the shields:: CO: Aye, sir. Shields down.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and gets her phaser ready:: SO: I was never all that good with these
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::reaches under the console and removes the phaser he had placed there long before they got to this universe::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods as Lessing mentions phasers. He gets up and walks to a little locker at the back of the bridge:: All: Anyone still needing one of these? ::Holds up a hand phaser::

ACTION - As the shields drop, a series of Resistance Troops beam onto the Aventura. Seven officers materialize on the bridge, all armed, and wearing combat armor.

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::takes a phaser from behind the IO's console... right before the resistance troops beam aboard::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::looks at the new arrivals but doesn't make a move for his phaser.. yet::

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light, Jackson, Roznine and Kizlev vanish...

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sees the SO disappear before her eyes::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::reaches for his trusty type I phaser from his belt holster, but disappears before he can draw it....::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::is surprised that the sickbay isn't flooded with injured yet but continues working on preparing it for said injured::

ACTION - The blue light fades, and the three Aventura officers find themselves in a holding cell - likely prisoners of the resistance.

Host Captain_Terupi says:
::Motions with his rifle::  All: Weapons on the deck.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::eyes widen and strongly resists the urge to pull his weapon, know he's now the best shot on the bridge::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::finds cover in her console and holds it up to the incoming officers::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: I hate this I, hate this, I hate this
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::mutters a particularly fowl curse and starts investigating the cell::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::he blinks, as three officers vanish...:: CO: ... Captain? ::keeps his eyes on the lead soldier::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Gets transported to some place else and looks around, seeing something that looks like a holding cell:: Aloud: Oh, great...
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::covertly withdraws a Type I from the console, sliding it in his belt as he tosses the Type II to the deck::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::checks to see if he still has his weapon, although it wouldn't matter in this situation::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: That could be considered a hostile action, Captain.  Return my crew, and we can talk.
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: Your incursion into my space is a hostile action, Captain.  You will speak, and you will speak now, or I will send you to your afterlife.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::begins whistling as he moves medicine around the sickbay::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: What is your opinion of Daryina Xia?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::breathes slowly and deeply, trying to move into a better mental state in the event of a firefight::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
::Shoots the XO, on stun::  CO: Where are you from?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: Answering questions with questions, he won't like that. ::still holding her phaser::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@SO/CP: A bit cozy in here, isn't it? ::glances about at the cell, hoping that it wasn't designed by Vulcans::

ACTION - The blast strikes Baranephelion hard in the side, and he drops down to the ground, a searing pain in his side...conscious, and definitely feeling it.

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks as the XO is stunned but remains calm::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@AS: Depends on the standards you use for that... ::Shrugs:: I just wish we knew where we were.. Or that there was someone we could ask those things..
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::bites his lower lip, barely holding back the urge to start kicking ass.. after all, he'd be grossly outnumbered::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
Self: Ugh! ::he collapses to the ground, his hands clutching his side, as it burns... he cannot get up... he dares not move...::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: Another Universe.  Daryina Xia is on the run, and we're here to get her.
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@::A Bolian man, a resistance office moves out of the shadows and to the edge of their cell. His skin is an unusual tone, purples and reds blend with his blue skin::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::sees the Bolian, trying to recognize the uniform::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::he grits his teeth, as the pain seems to cut even deeper into his side, and fails to dissipate...:: Self: Focus... stay awake.
Host Captain_Terupi says:
::Narrows his eyes at the name::  CO: Your uniforms... what is your alignment?
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@::He notices the one who appears to have the highest rank and nods:: CP: Alliance agents here to steal our secrets?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::eyes the Bolian suspiciously and awaits the CP's answer::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: We cannot align with people here.  Our highest directive forbids it.  Can we go to my ready room?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Wonders who the man is who just addressed the CP::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::watches as the distortion fluctuates and finally stabilizes:: Self: No more ships I hope
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@Tech: Do I look like an Alliance agent? Or do they have you do paranoid that anybody is now the enemy?
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: No, we can not.  ::Makes a show of lowering his rifle, but his soldiers do not::  I am not making myself clear - where you are from, who do you align with?
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::he evens out his breathing, as he tries to push himself back onto his feet...::
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@CP: Enemies are all around, we must defend ourselves or face destruction...
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::leans over to help the XO to his feet::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@Tech: Who are you with? The Alliance? If so, I have nothing to say to you.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::opens a box and checks the contents nods and continues readying the sickbay for injured::
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@CP: We are "The Resistance" you Alliance scum. We know you're trying to gain access to our planet...
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Listens to the CP talking to the tech::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: I've already told you where we are from.  And we're not aligned with anybody....  yet.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::thinks about a hundred things to say but decides to stay quiet::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::grins:: Tech: Well, what can I do to show that I am NOT an Alliance agent?

ACTION - A pair of Resistance officers storm into sickbay, weapons at the ready. "Come with us," they demand.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@SO/CP: Hmph, paranoia runs deep in this territory. How deliciously sad...
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: You lie.  I have seen you before... or your kind... ::looks sideways at him::
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@CP: Come here...::He motions to the edge of the cell::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Holds up his hand:: AS: You don't know the circumstances, perhaps they have reason for this extreme caution..
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Computer: Display the Federation insignia.  And the Starfleet insignia.  ::Looks at Terupi::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: Starfleet?  Star... fleet... that's it... You are not like the Starfleet I know.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::looks at the two officers. than takes an at ease stance:: Officers: Who are you and what are you doing in my sickbay.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::interjects:: CO: Captain, if I may?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: And which Starfleet is that?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
IO: You may.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::nods:: SO: Maybe, but I have little tolerance for those who lack trust or an open mind.
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: The man I know was honorable, and told the truth.  We helped him to destroy our enemies.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::leaning against a bulkhead, he pats his wound, as he listens on, fascinating as the story may be::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::while the others are distracted, she scans the nearby area looking for the 3 missing officers::

ACTION - The officers point their weapons at Durron and demand that he come with them.

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::pauses:: Tech: How do I know you're not just going to beat me to confess to something that is probably not the truth.
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: AS: Just give the man some time to explain a bit more.. Perhaps we will find out why they are cautious, and we will learn to be cautious too...
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
Terupi: That's because your Starfleet is a member of the Interstellar Confederate Alliance who, in our universe, is known as "Green Star". We represent the United Federation of Planets. And I'll have you know, our Green Star is a resolutely anti-Federation, terrorist organisation.
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@CP: Come here, and I will get the proof I need...::He watches Roznine carefully, ignoring the other two Starfleet officers::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: You will have to forgive me.  I was given orders not reveal our identities.  Who is the man who helped you?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::transfers his gaze back to Roznine and the Bolian, taking Jackson's words to mind::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::doesn't budge:: Officers: I am sorry but I can't leave my post.  If you have injured I suggest that you bring them here.
Host Captain_Terupi says:
::Shakes head::  IO: The man I know was named... Savar... he commanded a ship called "Moon"
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::tries to scan the Bolian to get an idea of his intentions::

ACTION - The guard fires a shot, and the phaser blast strikes the wall next to Durron, blasting a hole through one of the monitoring stations. "Come."

SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Turns his attention back to the conversation as well::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Computer: Display all non classified records relating to the USS Luna.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@Tech: I do love my skin and the contents thereof... what do you have in mind of doing?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
Officer: If you insist. ::picks up a emergency medical kit and exits the sickbay,::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
Officer: Which way?
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@CP: This...
Host Captain_Terupi says:
::Sees an image of the ship::  CO: That is the ship.  ::Turns back to the CO::  But you are nothing like he is.  You are here to find Daryina Xia?

ACTION - The Bolian man, with the mixed skin color sighs and closes his eyes. He places his hand against the edge of the cell and takes a deep breath - at that same moment, Roznine feels a pressence, forcing its way into his thoughts.

Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: Yes we are.  She is part of a terrorist group in our universe.  She needs to stand trial for her crimes.  Our orders are to bring her back alive and unharmed.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::feels his antennae twitch, thinking something extraphysical is going on between CP and the Bolian:: SO: I don't like this...
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::grunts as he feels the Tech trying to get into his mind:: Tech: Nice try, mister, but I am of a telepathic race... we are trained to resist. ~~~Tech: Wanna play?~~~ ::starts shoring up his mental shields like Randi taught him::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
::Looks at the CO for a moment longer, very hard, then orders his officers to lower their weapons::  CO: You should learn to know when to tell the truth, Captain.  We may be able to assist you.

ACTION - The Bolian's eyes open, a purple glow to his pupils. The mind forces deeper into Roznine's mind...and then as soon as it began, it ends.

Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: You have a good point there.  The problem I've had in this universe is knowing who to tell the truth to.  and who will kill us if we tell the truth.  ::pauses:: Any chance of getting my crew back?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods slowly:: AS: I'm not sure what's going on.. Looks like some telepathic stuff going on... ::Shrugs:: maybe it will bring us answers..

ACTION - The guards lead Durron to the bridge... where there once was seven is now nine...

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::folds his arms, shaking his head at the CP's overconfidence:: Self: There's always someone stronger...
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::sighs, as the doctor appears:: Self: God...
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::watches as the CM is escorted to the bridge::
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@::The Tech steps back and looks at Jackson and Kizlev. He looks almost tired, and strained::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::glances around the bridge his PRISM enhanced emergency medical kit at his side::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::gasps as the presence is gone:: Tech: Get what you wanted?
Host Captain_Terupi says:
::Pulls a communication device from his belt and speaks into it::  CO: The questioning of your officers will end.  They will be returned shortly.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Glances around to check that all weapons have been lowered:: CM: Attend to Commander Illianor.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::gazes passively at the weakened Bolian, impatient to get out of the cramped cell::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: Questioning .... I wonder if he means torturing
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@CP: I... would have if you had not resisted. ::He looks almost as if he's in pain, holding his head. The officer pauses and goes over to a console, nodding slowly::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks at the Tech, spotting his tiredness, but not mentioning it::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@::puts a hand on the CP's shoulder:: CP: Are you well?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::looks at the CO and sighs than makes his way across the bridge careful not to step on any of the many toes::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: Tech: And I am not even considered very strong by the standards of my race. ::nods to Kizlev:: AS: Yes, a bit drained, but OK.
Host Resistance_Tech says:
@CP: You are free to go...it seems your Captain has been more forthcoming. ::He sighs and drops the shielding on the cell::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CM: If it inconveniences you, doctor... ::smiles, and then returns his focus to the two captains::

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light the three officers are returned to the Aventura, all safe and sound.

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::appears back on the bridge:: ~~~XO: I have something to tell you, but not while these guys are around.~~~
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
@CP: Good. Whatever happened between you two, it seems you held the better hand... ::is beamed away::
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: Captain, I warn you....
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the new arrivals::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Is being transported again and appears back on the now fairly crowded Aventura bridge::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
~~~CP: My God, where have you been??? ... Later, later.~~~
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP/SO/AS: You all right?  No injuries?
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: I will tell you where the criminal might be.  But, we have sent many ships against it, and failed.  It is a well guarded place.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::materializes on the bridge, looking around at what's going on::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: We weren't mistreated, Captain. ::turns to Terupi:: Terupi: Your technician might need some medical assistance... he looked as if he was in pain of some sort.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::pulls out his tricorder and scans the XO:: XO: Why did you go and do this?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
CO: I'm fine, sir.. I think... ::Looks around, taking in the persons that are on the bridge right now::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::moves slowly and deliberately hoping that he doesn't get shot.::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi:  We have been specifically outfitted for this mission.  I think we have a good chance of succeeding.  But I'll be glad of any help you can offer.  And there are a few other things we need to discuss.  In private.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CM: I didn't do it to myself, you ninny... ::winks::

ACTION - The amoured officers keep on alert, watching the Starfleet crew with the intent to kill if they see anything suspicious. My, the tables aren't on our crew's side this day...

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::sighs, glad to see the gravity of the situation calming down just a bit, but the atmosphere still feels too standoffish for comfort::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
XO: Sure you didn't. ::doesn't do anything to patch up the XO yet.:: XO: It's superficial. ::scans the three people who beamed in for viruses::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~XO: As soon as you are up to it, I would like to tell you the little bit I gleaned from this experience.~~~
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
~~~CP: Do it now... if it's important, we need to know immediately.~~~
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: Perhaps.  I do not feel I can trust you yet, we will discuss other things on my terms.  But you digress.  Daryina Xia operates out of an Alliance base.  Set course for 240 mark 15, and search approximately 25 light years from here.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CM: Doctor, I will kill you if...
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::pulls up his star charts and feeds in that location, seeing what the Idun computer says is there::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the latest sensor information with interest:: Self: Not such a great dampening field huh?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::nods and looks at the XO:: XO: If you must know our 'away team' didn't contract anything while they were off board.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~XO: It has to do with the telepathic abilities of their "interrogator" who, by the way, looked peculiarly Bolian, but not quite.~~~
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::eyes the armored guards fearlessly, seeing them no more intimidating than battle dressed Klingons::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::raises an eyebrow slightly:: ~~~CP: Continue...~~~
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::looks at the XO's injury and than slowly opens the medical kit::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Is slowly making sense of what is going on on the bridge::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi:  Are you accompanying us?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
IO: Perhaps you'd like to see this
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
XO: I don't see why your so upset about this.  ::begins pulling the burnt tunic away from the wound::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::looks over:: DCO: Yes?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~XO: You know I'm not the strongest telepath around, and this guy looked like he had a bout with 10 targs after a few moments of trying to probe my mind.~~~
Host Captain_Terupi says:
CO: I will follow, along with a few of my companions.  The base is typically guarded by a number of vessels - we should be able to draw some fire.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::whispers:: IO: Their dampening field fluctuates from time to time. Our sensors are powerful enough to read through one of the last fluctuations. I know what they are hiding
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Tries to remember those details::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
IO: A Planet, M Class, several million life signs....
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::raises an eyebrow:: DCO: That's good news... and I can understand why they'd hide it. Now if we could get that technology..

ACTION - A display shows up on Gomes' screen. It appears the advanced sensors on the Aventura have been able to peak past the resistance dampening field - a fleet of vessels orbit a Class-M world. They've hid an entire world from view...

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::winces slightly:: ~~~CP: ... Good job with resisting... but what does this mean?~~~
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::scans the injury for infections than pulls out a dermal regenerator and closes the XO up than injects him with an empty hypospray::  XO: That should help with the pain.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::slides a glance on his console and doesn't see much on tactical sensors, but wonders if the DCO is having better luck::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Terupi: Thank you.  Your help is much appreciated.  CP: Input those co-ordinates and engage at maximum warp, as soon as the Captain has transported to his ship.  ::Gives the CP a look that says "Don't use the pulse drive"::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Heard the DCO's words, and turns to take a look himself:: DCO: A planet huh? Interesting...
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the IO and watches as more data pours in:: IO/SO: This must really be a dangerous Universe, where you need to hide a planet full of people
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir. ::goes to sit at his console and enters the course:: Course entered, sir. Ready when you are. ~~~XO: I don't know yet, perhaps we can discuss that and try and puzzle it out?~~~
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: DCO: Agreed.... We may have to revise our tactics..
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
DCO: It'd definitely give us the edge in a fight, too. Feed your sensors to my console; I'll try to deconstruct it so that we can keep ourselves hidden on approach.

ACTION - The crew of the U.S.S. Aventura prepare to leave Safe Haven 312...a world of the resistance. Their objective now is a planetary system known as Mizani. Their objective...Daryina Xia, and the Interstellar Confederate Alliance. The battle will be hard, but the victory sweet. They will capture Xia, and return safely. Or so they hope...
