21:02 CaptMcCloud: Captain's Log, Stardate 65123.86 (02/15/2388, 08:00 hours)

21:02 CaptMcCloud: We have arrived back in the Alpha Quadrant, but have been ordered by Starfleet Command to stay on a certain course, and that we would be met by an escort. (this was done in the log I sent out earlier, if you all read it)

21:03 DrCompton: (yes)

21:03 CaptMcCloud: Looking at the chrono, now, I am guessing nothing unusual has happened, because I had managed to get at least six hours of sleep. I am indeed curious.

21:08 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ XO ] :: walks down to the command area:: I take it Commander Borek filled you in?

21:08 Lt_Costa: AENG >[ CENG ] I don't know yet

21:09 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ AENG ] Okay. I'll find out. what's our status?

21:09 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ co ] The basics, yes sir

21:10 Lt_Costa: AENG >[ CENG ] Slipstream drive operating within normal parameters and cooldown is in the normal process. Warp core is online and fully functional. All power systems are at the ready and primed for use. We are at yellow alert

21:10 DrCompton: CMO> ::walks into the treatment room where Gene has been recovering, he's awake and for the first time she sees signs of recovery that the tests confirmed::

21:12 NPC: Gene>[CMO] Like I've been wrestling with a lematya that's how. ::he smiles:: But better than yesterday and definitely better than the day before.....

21:12 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ AENG ] Good. :: hands him a PADD:: Take a look at this list of things for Serenity, when we dock at SB 2102, and let me know if I left anything out.

21:12 Lt_Costa: AENG >[ CENG ] yes sir

21:13 DrCompton: CMO>[Gene] Your tests look good....the nanites are still reproducing and getting to work repairing the damage that was done. ::she holds his hand:: It was touch and go there for a while....

21:14 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: sits down:: So... no additional word from Starfleet?

21:15 NPC Gene>[CMO] You don't have to tell ME that...I was the one dying. Now are you going to tell me the story of how you managed to be a Lt Commander on a Starship....when I last saw you, you were content to stay on Earth practicing Emergency Medicine.

21:17 DrCompton: CMO>[Gene] There really isn't that much to tell....after the Serenity was lost I felt this pull.....even though your ship was declared lost with all hands...I had a strange feeling inside me that you were out there somewhere

21:19 LtjgBanning: SCI> Captain, I do have a ship on long-range scans.

21:19 Lt_Costa: AENG >[ CENG ] Chief, did you put the plasma coils in the list for the damage they have? And some isolinear processing chips?

21:19 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] Can you identify it?

21:20 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ AENG ] I was pretty sure I added them. Double-check for me. There's so much, I could have missed it.

21:21 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] I think so, sir.

21:21 Lt_Costa: AENG >[ CENG ] Yes sir

21:21 Lt_Costa: AENG>::takes a look again::

21:21 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] You think so?

21:22 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] Well, sir. It is definitely identifying as one of our transponders, but.... :: turns up his hands:: NOthing that is in our database.

21:23 Lt_Costa: AENG >[ CENG ] NOpe sir, you missed it. I'll add them for you

21:23 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] ETA?

21:23 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] At this speed, five more minutes, sir.

21:27 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ AENG ] I'm heading for the bridge to see what's going on.

21:28 Lt_Costa: AENG >[ CENG ] Aye sir, I'll be here if you need me

21:28 Ltjg_Wren: Ops> :: puts the incoming message on screen ::

21:28 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ AENG ] :: smiles:: Good to know.

21:29 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: exits ME, headed for the TL::

21:31 Bot: SCREEN: USS Eagle, this is Captain Foreacre of the Jefferson Davis. You are ordered to come to a stop, and standby for our arrival.

21:32 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: glances over to Jorel:: The Jefferson Davis?

21:33 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ Foreacre ]+ Captain? Can you tell me what's going on? What has happened to Starbase 2102?

21:35 Bot: Foreacre> :: narrows his eyes:: Starbase 2102? There is no such base, Captain. Can y'all tell ME what your business is in Confederation space?

21:36 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: steps off the TL onto the bridge. Looks at the screen:: Devon Foreacre?

21:36 Lt_Costa: AENG >+[ CENG-through-PADD ]+ So, what's going on up there? Why the alert?

21:37 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: looks as if he is seeing a ghost::

21:39 Bot: Foreacre> :: turns his head slightly, looking at Hart. He, too, look as if he's seen a ghost.:: +[ Eagle ]+ Hart?

21:39 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: glances between the two of them:: I take it you two know each other.

21:39 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ co ] :: looks to the Captain then to Hart, and then back to the screen:: what is going on?

21:40 Lt_Hart: CENG >+[ AENG ]+ :: voice faltering:: Stand... stand by, Andrew.

21:40 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ CO ] I... used to, sir. He's dead.

21:41 Bot: Foreacre> :: simultaneously with Hart:: +[ Eagle ]+ He's dead.

21:42 Lt_Costa: ((ok, I'm not understanding... is this from a previous plot, or star trek canon?))

21:42 Bot: Foreacre> :: regains his composure, somewhat. Narrows his eyes:: +[ Eagle ]+ Either way, shut down your engines and all defenses and prepare to be boarded. Jefferson Davis out!

21:43 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: sees the screen go blank, then looks at Hart:: Care to explain?

21:45 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: forgot to close his comm link, so Costa can hear what's going on. Steps down tot he command area:: He... and I were best pals in school. We... were going to the academy together, but.... :: points to the screen:: HE died in a shuttle accident before we enrolled.

21:46 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ CENG ] He looked as suirprised to see you alive, Lt.

21:46 Lt_Costa: AENG >+[ CENG ]+ I'm sorry, repeat that chief? Somebody died? what's going on?

21:46 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ co ] Captain, he mentioned Confederation Space.

21:47 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: glances to Jorel:: Then I DID hear him say that.

21:48 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: looks down at his comm-badge in surprise:: +[ AENG ]+ Oh, sorry, Andrew. Stand by a moment, I'll... um... let you know. Hart out.

21:49 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] Mr. Banning, tell me you have some information on that ship.

21:49 LtjgBanning: SCI> [CO] Well, yes, sir. It looks like a Sovereign-class ship, sir, but.... it's different.

21:49 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ co ] Yes Captain. I've never heard of Confederation space. And with no Starbase 2102 and someone being alive who should be dead, we should assume we are not home.

21:50 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ XO ] Good assumption, Commander. [SCI] Put it onscreen, Lt.

21:51 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: turns to look at the screen::

21:51 Lt_Costa: AENG> What the hell is going on?

21:51 LtjgBanning: SCI> :: does so::

21:52 Ltjg_Wren: Ops> ::scanning all frequencies for signs of communication::

21:52 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: A ship appears on the screen. Even though the basic design is the Sovereign-class, it has a very menacing look to it. =/\=

21:53 Lt_Hart: CENG> Holeeee.... Look at that thing.

21:54 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: looks at the screen:: By the warlord's sword.

21:54 Lt_Costa: AENG>::patches into the bridge viewscreen to watch from a console down below:: Woah... what the...

21:54 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ HELM ] All stop.

21:55 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: glances to McCloud in surprise:: Sir! You're just going to let.... them board us?

21:55 LtCmdrVanik: HELM> All stop, aye, sir. ::Brings the two ships to a halt::

21:56 Ltjg_Wren: xo> [tac] What is the tactical analysis of that ship?

21:56 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ CENG ] Stand down, Mr. Hart. We're not alone here. We have an almost defensless ship and crew to worry about. Besides, we do not know they're an enemy.... yet.

21:57 Bot: TAC >[ XO ] She outguns us by three forward phaser banks and two torpedo launchers, Commander.

21:58 Bot: TAC >[ XO ] If Serenity were in shape, we might stand a chance against her, but alone, I think we will take quite a beating, sir.

21:59 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: The Jefferson Davis drops out of warp, and approaches the Eagle and Serenity. Her weapons are hot. =/\=

22:00 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ CO ] Captain. Serenity CAN fight. At least at impulse speeds.

22:01 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ CENG ] I'll keep that in mind, Lt. [ OPS ] Lt. Wren. Make certain that Captain Sylvan is getting all this as well.

21:00 CaptMcCloud: Captain's log, supplemental

21:01 CaptMcCloud: We have appeared to have dropped out of the slip-stream conduit, in a universe that is not our own. A ship named the Jefferson Davis, is approaching, and they have ordered us to prepare to be boarded. The strange part is, they are using the normal Starfleet hailing frequencies, and the ship's transponder appears to be one of ours, even if we don't recognize the ship. Furthermore, Captain Foreacre has asked us what our plans are in Confederation space.

=/\= BEGIN SIM =/\=

21:04 Lt_Costa: AENG> ::In engineering, wondering what the hell is going on::

21:04 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: As the Jefferson Davis drops out of warp, it's computer automatically links with the Eagle's computer and starts downloading missing data. =/\=

21:05 Moonshadows: TAC>::She scans space with her long range IFF::[CO] I read only friendlly transponders, sir

21:05 Lt_Hart: CENG> ::: still on the bridge::

21:06 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] Captain, the computer has linked with the Jefferson Davis' computer. It's... :: looks back at the screen:: Downloading their database.

21:06 Lt_Costa: AENG >+[ CENG ]+ Chief, what's going on? You're not responding, what the heck is going on?

21:06 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: Moves quickly to the Engineering console to make certain it's not downloading a virus to our systems:::

21:07 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] What kind of information, and are they getting any of ours?

21:08 Lt_Costa: AENG>::Hears beeping from a console and goes over to check what it's doing:: What's this? something's being downloaded... but what, and why?

21:08 Lt_Hart: CENG >+[ AENG ]+ We're being approached by a Confederation ship, Andrew. Keep an eye on systems down there. Apparently our computer has done some kind of automatic link up with theirs.

21:09 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] Negative... at least not yet, sir. It's all information flowing to us, which seems to be a comprehensive history of the Confederation of Planets.

21:10 Moonshadows: TAC>[SCI] Why Confederation?

21:10 Lt_Costa: AENG >+[ CENG ]+ Aye sir, already on it, two steps ahead of you

21:10 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] If you can avoid our computer sending to theirs, do it.

21:11 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ TAC ] That's what the Jefferson Davis is identifying as belonging to, Moon.

21:11 CaptMcCloud: CO> OPS, open a channel to the J.D.

21:11 Moonshadows: TAC>[CO] No record in my files of a USS Jefferson Davis...

21:12 Bot: OPS> Aye, sir. :: Opens the channel, they're answering, sir. PUtting it onscreen.

21:12 Moonshadows: TAC>::She ties into the library, looks up the name... This tells her about the CSA, she looks for a synopsis... too much to read now::

21:14 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: looks at the screen:: +[ JD ]+ Captain Foreacre. We are prepared to receive you, but sir, we are not looking for an armed conflict. We are prepare to defend ourselves, and as you see, we have two ships.

21:15 LtjgBanning: SCI> :: has the computer run an analysis to see where history went awry. Starts a scan of the Jefferson Davis::
21:15 Moonshadows: TAC>::At the CO's words, she programs her weapons to fire on the JD, without activating the targeting sensors, no sense in provoking them::

21:17 CaptForeacre: J.D. CO >+[ Eagle ]+ :: looks angry at first, then seems to get a report from another of his officers:: Captain McCloud. Your OTHER ship seems to have.... issues.

21:18 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ J.D. ]+ I assure you, sir. She can fight.... if needed. But... if you look at our transponders, you will see it is a match for yours. We're, sort of, on the same side.

21:19 Moonshadows: TAC>::She switches modes, reads the summary on the civil war, slavery... Race relations... Wonders what the CO of the JD will m,ke of her::

21:19 CaptMcCloud: ::Once the Eagle's computer has the downloads, the link is broken. No damaging files or programs were installed on the computer core.::

21:20 Lt_Hart: CENG> ::sees that all systems are still operating properly::

21:21 Lt_Costa: AENG> ::notices the systems being operational, but is still wondering what is going on::

21:21 Moonshadows: TAC>[CO] Should I charge weapons, sir?

21:22 CaptForeacre: J.D. CO >+[ Eagle ]+ :: looks off-screen for confirmation. When he looks back, he appears confused.:: Your information appears correct, Captain. How is this so?

21:22 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ TAC ] Stand by, Lt.

21:22 Moonshadows: TAC>[CO] Aye sir

21:23 Lt_Costa: AENG >+[ CENG ]+ All power to tactical systems active, ready for attack

21:24 Moonshadows: TAC>::She switches from her sensors to reading, and back again... aborbs the history lesson with her eidetic memory::

21:24 CaptForeacre: JD_CO>+[ Eagle ]+ :: has his attention drawn to Moonshadows, after hearing her voice:: What... :: looks again to McCloud:: I shall beam over, Captain. Try no tricks or you shall feel the mightiest ship in the Confederation.

21:25 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ JD_CO ]+ My weapons are powered down, Captain. As I said, we do not want an armed conflict. I shall meet you in the transporter room.

21:26 Moonshadows: TAC>::She does not like the belligerent tone of the JDCO, her tail begins to semaphore::

21:26 Lt_Hart: CENG >+[ AENG ]+ Keep it all on standby, Andrew. I'm thinking we're still going to need it.

21:26 Lt_Costa: AENG >+[ CENG ]+ Aye sir

21:28 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: rises:: Mr. Vanik. You have the bridge. Lt. Moon, keep an eye on them. Any hint that they're going to fire, put us on red alert. Mr. Banning, I want to know as much about that ship as possible. Mr. Hart... you're with me.

21:28 LtCmdrVanik: HELM >[ CO ] Aye, sir. :: gets up and moves to the center seat.::

21:28 Moonshadows: TAC>[CO] Both eyes sir... At hostile profile, go to red alert, aye

21:29 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] Already scanning them, sir.

21:29 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ CO ] Aye, sir. :: Moves towards the TL::

21:30 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: steps into the TL, looks to Hart:: I'm hoping your former connection to whomever this is will help keep him off-balance.

21:31 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: stepping in and turning:: Transporter room.... I'm afraid it has ME a little off-balance, sir.

21:32 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ CENG ] Just bear in mind that we now have a clue that we're not where we're supposed to be. That would account for your friend being alive.

21:33 Lt_Costa: AENG>::working on monitoring systems, wondering what they're doing::

21:33 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ CO ] Aye, sir. :: the lift doors open, he waits and follows the captain out::

21:33 LtjgBanning: SCI> :: Having overheard the conversation between Hart and Costa, send the AENG a brief synopsis of what is going on.::

21:34 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: steps into the transporter room, and nods to the chief to signal readiness::

21:34 Bot: TR CHIEF> :: signals the J.D.::

21:35 Lt_Costa: AENG>::receives the synopsis:: oh... that is interesting...

21:35 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: stands beside the captain, looking to the transporter pad::

21:35 Lt_Costa: AENG >+[ TAC ]+ Yes ma'am... power is at the erady

21:36 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ HELM ] Sir, I just informed engineering of what is going on.

21:36 LtCmdrVanik: HELM >[ SCI ] Good idea, Troy. Send the same info to the rest of the departments.

21:37 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: Captain Foreacre and two security guards (heavily armed) beam onto the Eagle. =/\=

21:38 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: raises brows at the armament the guards are carrying.::

21:38 CaptForecare: JD_CO> :: Smiles seeing McCloud's reaction:: You really didn't expect me to come alone, did you, Captain?

21:39 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ JD_CO ] Not at all, Captain. It's just the weapons. Very hostile.

21:40 CaptForeacre JD_CO> :: Smiles again:: Good. :: Looks to Hart, stepping down without asking permission to come aboard:: It really IS you.

21:41 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ Foreacre] ::Nods:: It really is. In the flesh.

21:41 CaptForeacre JD_CO> [ CENG ] But I was there. I saw your shuttle crash.

21:43 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ Foreacre ] July 10th, 2372. Just over the Sea of Tranquility.

21:44 CaptForeacre JD_CO> [CENG] Yes. How... how did you survive? Wait. I even saw your body, or what was left of it.

21:45 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ Foreacre ] In my universe, I identified YOUR remains.

21:45 Moonshadows: TAC>::She focusses all her attention on the JD::

21:57 Moonshadows: TAC>::She activates tracking sensors, looks for the Borg, maybe it's just a little sphere::

During his time aboard the ship, before we even had the chance to really talk, a Borg conduit has opened up, and a ship... not resembling the Borg ships we know, but showing the same power signatures has emerged.

21:05 CaptMcCloud: We have had our chat with Captain Foreacre and he has returned to his ship. The Jefferson Davis has been hit pretty hard, and her warp drive is still out. As a consequence, we are all procceeding to the closest starbase, which is equal to our Starbase 282. It will take us approximately one and a half weeks to reach it at this speed, unless the Jefferson Davis can repair their warp drive. I am calling a staff meeting to discuss what we have learned while in this universe.

21:16 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: takes a sip of his coffee, looking over to Banning::

21:17 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] Well, sir.... That's just the thing. This IS our universe. I have scanned the Jefferson Davis, thoroughly.

21:18 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ sci ] Are you saying they have the same time signature that we do?

21:19 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ ALL ] As you may, or may not know, there is what is called the multi-verse. The most encountered by Starfleet personnel is typically known as the Mirror Universe. That was originally believed to be the only... other universe existence.

21:21 LtjgBanning: SCI> However, it was discovered by Captain Picard, of the Enterprise D, that there are a multitude of parallel universes, with similar or vastly different histories, depending on one certain event in that universe's past.

21:22 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: Nods thoughtfully, looking at the slowly rotating image of the Jefferson Davis::

21:23 LtjgBanning: SCI> Scans have been conducted of ships and personnel encountered in these different universes. The scans show a slight difference on the molecular level between a ship of our universe, and one of a parallel universe.

21:33 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ TAC ] There is no indication that they have, Moon, and be glad. The Caitians have been forced into slavery. Along with the Klingons, the Romulans, the Orions, the Ferengi, the Bolians and the Andorians.... Just to name a few.

21:02 CaptMcCloud: We have received a distress call from.. odddly enough, a Ferengi Marauder. I say, "oddly enough" because I was under the impression the Ferengi had been all put into slavery. The Jefferson Davis has tried to hail us, to which I have instructed no response. They had threatened to open fire on Serenity, which I knew Captain Sylvan would defend her ship, and the two are sort of on the same plane since both have damages.
At any rate, for whatever reason, our sensors show that the J.D. has dropped the targeting on Serenity. I'm guessing Captain Foreacre is waiting to see what we do.

21:28 Kurge: ( thanks- I miss the kid already- Do u mind if I come back next week? I am dead tired capn.)

21:28 Bot: Ferengi> :: Sighs and looks to McCloud:: I am Damon Marach. It would appear your ship and mine are the only ones left from the Federation we knew.

21:28 Kurge: ( Hello Moon um shadow )

21:29 Moonshadows: ((Moonshadows to Ennien sir))

21:29 CaptMcCloud: (I don't mind at all, Sir. Good to see you, and have a good 4th)

21:29 Kurge: ( pardon- Moonshadows :) )

21:30 Kurge: ( Thank you Capn. Same to u and to your wonderful crew- May the Blood wine be plenty on your Holiday the 4TH ! See you all next week ::waves and walks off with a toothy Klingon Grin:: )

21:31 Moonshadows: TAC>::Her tail is waving again... She is getting upset at the particular universe she has landed in::

21:31 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ Ferengi ]+ Well, Damon Marach.... I know why we are here, but I'm wondering why you are here. I am of course wondering what happened to our Federation. You wouldn't know... would you?

21:32 Bot: Marach> :: sighs again:: I'm afraid I do, Captain. We're responsible.

21:32 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: raises his eyebrows and glances to the XO::

21:32 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >+[ Ferengi ]+ just how are you responsible?

21:33 Kurge left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).

21:33 LtjgBanning: SCI> :: turns, looking surprised at the screen::

21:33 Moonshadows: TAC>::HEr tail stops in mid lash, she looks up at the Damon, REALLY wanting to blurt out a question::

21:34 Bot: Marach> I'm afraid it was us... well more so the former damon of this ship that changed history.

21:35 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ Marach ]+ Explain.

21:36 Moonshadows: TAC>::Discipline holds, she turns back to the arch without saying anything and scans the area again::

21:36 Bot: Marach> :: sighs once more:: Captain? Would it be too much to ask to be beamed to your ship? I'm afraid there isn't much left salvageable on this ship.

21:37 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ Marach ]+ Do you need medical attention?

21:37 Bot: Marach> Yes. There are several of the crew who are barely hanging on to life.

21:38 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ co ] I'll alert sickbay

21:38 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ Marach ]+ Very well, Damon. Get your people all together, we will set up a treatment area for you and your crew. You have some explaining to d.

21:39 Cmdr_Jorel: xo> ::contact sb and alerts them to incoming injured

21:39 Bot: Marach> :: smiles:: Yes, Captain. I know. Thank you.

21:40 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ XO ] Commander take Lt. Moonshadows and see that the Ferengi are cared for. Set up cargo bay 3, and let medical know.

21:41 Moonshadows: TAC>::Her ears go forward in surprise::{ATAC} Take the arch... Frequent scans of the area for anything coming in!

21:41 Moonshadows: TAC>[XO] I am with you, sir

21:41 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ co ] Aye Sir

21:42 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ CENG ] Lt. Hart? Can you scan the Ferengi ship for a damage report?

21:42 Cmdr_Jorel: xo> ::heads to the TL::

21:43 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ CO ] Already have, sir. She's really been hit hard. I'm surprised there is ANYONE alive over there.

21:43 Moonshadows: TAC>::Follows the ZXO::

21:44 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] I concur, Captain. Pretty much everything that is anything is fried over on that ship.

21:45 Moonshadows: TAC>[XO] I wonder what the Big Ears could have done?

21:45 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ ATAC ] Ensign. Once the ship is evacuated.... destroy it. That should make our watchers on the Jefferson Davis happy.

21:45 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ tac ] probably an accident ::heads to CB3::

21:46 Moonshadows: ATAC Singh>[CO] Aye sir... Locking all phasers

21:46 CaptMcCloud: :: Medical personnel have been notified and are starting to set up the bay::

21:47 DrFenway: AMO> :: reports to CB3::

21:50 Moonshadows: TAC>::She enters the cargo bay, and bears a hand where she can::

21:51 DrFenway: AMO> :: sees Jorel:: We're all set here, Commander. Ready for the Ferengi.

21:51 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >+[ co ]+ We're all set Captain

21:52 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ XO ]+ Acknowledge. :: turns to OPS:: Have the transporter room beam over the Ferengi.

21:53 Ltjg_Wren: Ops> ::transports the Ferengi over to CB3:: They are on their way

21:54 CaptMcCloud: :: it doesn't take long, but Wren gets the word that all the living Ferengi have been evacuated::

21:54 Moonshadows: TAC>::She wrinkles her nose... Ferenghi wounds... Different blood smell:: [XO] This is... I think the word 'ghastly' applies

21:54 Ltjg_Wren: Ops >[ CO ] all have been transported over Captain.

21:54 DrFenway: AMO> :: Looks to Moon:: I've never really liked the smell of them either.

21:55 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ ATAC ] Fire when ready, Ensign.

21:55 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ amo ] What can I help you with Doc

21:56 Moonshadows: ATAC>::Punches the triggers, lambent phaser fire lances at the Marauders unprotected hull::

21:56 DrFenway: AMO> Possibly help with the less injured, Commander? The ones with the flesh wounds?

21:57 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: The Ferengi Marauder goes up in a spectacular explosion. =/\=

21:57 Moonshadows: TAC>::SAs the lights dim momentarily from phasers being fired, she wonders if she will be called to the bridge::

21:58 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: Mutters:: That ought to please the Conferedates. [HELM] Mr. Vanik. Plot us a course back to the Serenity and J.D. Warp six.

21:58 Cmdr_Jorel: xo> :: grabs a medical tricorder:: [all Ferengi] Any who are injured and CAN walk, come with me :: moves over to one side of the CB::

21:58 Moonshadows: TAC>[AMO] I am cross trained as paramedic Doctor

21:49	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ SCI ] Mr. Banning, tell me you have some information on that ship.
21:49	LtjgBanning:	SCI> [CO] Well, yes, sir. It looks like a Sovereign-class ship, sir, but.... it's different.
21:49	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ co ] Yes Captain. I've never heard of Confederation space. And with no Starbase 2102 and someone being alive who should be dead, we should assume we are not home.
