Like a tuna negotiates with a shark, Kate said to herself hearing the voice’s reply to the Captian.’s question This was why she would never be in the big seat. Her mouth would get her into trouble. There was no way she could not come back with a snarky retort if someone gave her one. Romulan Captain how about I pummel you with about half a dozen torpedos and then you can tell me how much fun your brand of negotiations are? This was all in her head of course but she wondered how the Romulan Captain might have acted if she said it.

Lt. Kate O’Neill COS

OOC: LOL!

Kenson

=/\= I would like the hear the same thing from the other ship if you wouldn’t mind Captain. No offense, but it doesn’t look like things are mutual here from where I am standing. =/\= Calin said as he narrowed his eyes a bit and thought about what was said. Their directive was not to mess with the dealings of other sovereign states, but this seemed to be something a bit more.

Calin, CO

=/\=This is not the business of the Federation. Go along quietly and I won’t punish you.=/\= the Romulan responded.

GM

It’s… These aren’t the ships you’re looking for. We can go about our business. Move along… move along, you moron, Kate silently played out a different version of the Romulan’s order in her head. Until the opposing Captian made an aggressive move there was not much she should do. Her men were in place and ready. Until they needed to be dealt with Kate would occupy her time playing out a version of the message where Calin took the Romulan Captian out at the knees.

Lt. Kate O’Neill COS

Solark started trying to trace the origin of the ship based on what sensors said about the age and the structure of the ship. Perhaps there was something in the LCARS that could help them.

Solark

Morganna listened and tried to assess the situation on the cargo ship as well to see if there were any sense of fear or concern. She could tell that the Romulan was very serious about the Odin not getting involved.

CNS

The Romulan ship began to fire a low level energy beam at the shields of the freighter and then within 10 seconds, the shields were deactivated and then something was transported from the freighter to the Romulan ship. Without warning, the Romulan ship went into cloak.

GM

Ah nutters why did ya have to go and do that Kate thought as she began to prep the weapons of the ship. They needed to be ready in case Calin was ready to knock that Romulan on his proverbial ass. I mean now we are gonna have to play hide and seek and when we find you it’s probably gonna result in us strangling you with that cloak of yours. “Scanning the area to see what kind of energy beam they used. Weapons are being primed. Torpedos ready to be loaded on your mark. Scanning area for signs of weapons signatures. Should we go to red alert?”

Lt. Kate O’Neill COS

Solark’s fingers then began to move over his console. “I am trying to locate the ship. Our LCARs could not identify the ship.”

Solark

Whilst they did not detect weapons at the moment, the computer was able to detect the Romulan ship moving away at an axis perpendicular to the Odin at that moment.

GM

Ka’Lissi had remained silent, her bottom lip trapped between her teeth as she kept her growl of indignation to herself.

Then everything happened at once and when the shop cloaked, she locked her sensors on it just in time to manage to keep a minimal reading on them. “Ship moving flat starboard, Sir. I’ve got a tentative track on it but I don’t know for how long. ” She didn’t even bother to look up from her console, feasting that even to blink would cost her their ability to track it.

As the trail grew longer, the Romulan ship suddenly decloaked and powered up its warp engines.

GM

“Sir, the Romulan ship is powering up engines. No indication weapons are coming online. I think they are about to go rabbit. Setting in a course to pursue,” Kate stated. Her comment was firm and authoritative but the last statement trailed of just enough she was waiting for the yay or nay from Calin. Times like this didn’t necessitate the niceties like Permission to follow the ship, Sir. That one sentence alone took three seconds for her to say and the captain to process extraneous words he already understood. She had been on his command team for a little over a year now. Calin knew Kate wouldn’t just bolt unless there was critical information like the warp core was about to explode and for some insane reason the captain wasn’t privy to. The three seconds she cut out in her response could mean a staying up with the Romulan or spending the next few hours playing intergalactic hide and seek. She waited with her finger poised about the console for Calin’s command about following or sitting tight.

Lt. Kate O’Neill COS

Lissi saw the ship reappear and cursed under her breath. A swiftly tapped message let engineering know that instant warp was about to be called. She knew the engines could handle it, but sometimes a heads up was appreciated. She had faith enough in her team in the bay that the warp core would do what was needed, up and above what the CO called for… well, as far as it was possible, anyway.

The ship was travelling at warp 5 uncloaked. The long range sensors would be able to track it for another 60 minutes before the sensor data became less reliable.

GM

“I am attempting to divert power to sensors so that the range may be extended.

Solark

Silent and sure, Lissi’s fingers moved over her console helping Solark with the diversions by turning things down in places they weren’t needed. It wasn’t much, but every little bit helped.

The scans of the freighter showed that the damage sustained could be repaired within a day. The freighter hailed the Odin.

GM

“What damage did that beam do to the freighter Morganna asked as she continued to keep her mind open.

CNS

OOC: I was waiting for CO to order the answering of the hail … :)

“Open the hail, lets see what they have to say.” Calin ordered as he waited to see what was coming.

IC:

Solark said, “The shields on the freighters are offline. There is damage to the hull but there was no breach. It would seem that the Romulan vessel had tried to open the cargo hold door but they were not able to. There is damage to the door mechanism, serious but reparable.”

GM

Calin, CO

=/\=Federation ship, this is the freighter Frieda. We thank you for saving us. Would you be able to help us with repairs?=/\=

GM

The Frieda was not badly damaged but needed help in repairs if she were to be at least ship worthy to the nearest starbase. However, the time taken to repair the freighter would mean that the Romulan ship would be too far out of reach.

GM

Calin grumbled to himself, he didn’t like this choice but their duty was clear to assist. They were not warriors trying to pick fights with any hostile aliens that came by and if a ship asked for help they had no choice.

=/\= We can help, transmit your damage report to us, I can send over teams to assist and if you would like I would love for you to come over we can discus our mutual friends here… I don’t feel like this is the last of them.”

Calin, CO

Morganna watched and listened and hoped that the Romulans wouldn’t come back, it seemed whatever the Romulans wanted, they would probably be back for it.

CNS

As the reports came in, it was evident that the only major repair was a hole, the size of a human person, on the hull. In the ship, the room that of a crew quarters was on the other side of the hole that the Odin saw on the freighter. The shields were down and that needed to be repaired of the freighter were to use the warp drive.

GM

=/\= Bridge to Engineering, prepare an away team to board the shuttle, you will be followed by security and medical to assist if there is any issues with the freighter.=/\= Calin gave the orders, and he sent the same commands to both Security and Medical the same message to prepare for the away mission.

OOC: James, Kate, Melissa and anyone who wants to be apart of the away mission can meet in a new thread. I will be bringing my Engineering and Medical officers to aid as well.

Calin, CO

OOC: do you want the CNS to go or remain on the odin?

Tyra

OOC: CNS can remain here, someone needs to main the bridge with me :P

~Steven
Morganna took a seat near Rivar “What do they have that the Romulans could possibly want so badly that they would attack. It’s also not like the Romulans to attack without intent to kill.” She said quietly.

CNS

“I am not sure, after they got splintered they became more dangerous. I am worried they might return…” Rivar said as he worried to himself what this implication might mean. Did they need resources? He couldn’t tell but he knew what they needed to do was stay vigilant as they aided the freighter.

Calin, CO

The sensors did not show anything for the moment but cloaked Romulans could be anywhere …

GM

Morganna watched the forward view screen “What about scanning for tachyon particles. If they return, perhaps we can ask if they require assistance.” She said “It is concerning that they are attacking civilian ships.”

CNS

When the away team returned, they were able to detect a very faint trail of tachyon particles. The resolution of the sensors prevented them from detecting the trail beyond one -tenth of a light year.

GM

Kate made her way to the bridge and her station. “We got the ship squared away. They can get back to the space station and make more extensive repairs if needed,” she reported to the captain.

“So did the scans find anything,” she asked the officer that had been manning her post when she was on her away mission.

“Sensors were able to detect a very faint trail of tachyon particles however, we can only detect them to one-tenth of a light-year. After that the trail goes cold,” he replied before moving to a new console.

Kate reviewed his notes and chewed her bottom lip. “Sir, may I suggest moving to the end of the trail and starting scans again. We have the general direction so let’s follow it as far as we can and go from there. Once there we can maybe extrapolate possible courses to find our Romulan ship.

Lt. Kate O’Neill COS

“We will follow, but I want to make certain this isn’t a trap. It feels, far too convenient.” Calin said as he looked over to his Chief. “Do you think you can narrow the field? I want to make certain this isn’t some ambush before I warp out of here.”

Calin, CO

OOC: Actually, I meant that the trail was so faint that the sensors could only pick up the trail up to a tenth of a light year away. It doesn’t mean that there is no trail beyond that. Something like having a low resolution binoculars. We can only see so far but if we move nearer, more would be revealed.

Kenson

“Sir I have been flushing out raccoons and white-tailed deer since I was six using nothing but broken leaves and poop. Well in the raccoon’s case it’s more of twinkie wrappers or jelly jars as the bread crumb trail but none of them have outsmarted me yet,” Kate said with her country twang seeping through a bit. “Set us loose and I will track it down.”

As the bridge crew waited for Calin to give a direction, one man had a question. “What the heck is a raccoon,” the Andorian helmsman said to the navigator sitting next to him barely above a whisper. Half the stuff she says at times,” the Andorian half glanced over his shoulder…Man, I ain’t got a clue.” His antenna swiveled slightly.

“It’s a big, hairy, seven-foot carnivore that attacks people for food. He lives in the woods of North America. He has a lot of different names but is highly elusive. There is an arctic version called a Yeti but that is only in a place called Tibet. I saw a holovid on it with Ric Erins. It was called the Masked Intruder of the Great Northwest,” the navigator said in a low tone waiting for the Captain to tell them to punch it.

Lt. Kate O’Neill COS

“No that’s not right, there… smaller I think… with poison barbed tails?” Calin said as he looked over at Kate, it was hard to guess from his face if his was serious or not but Ean sat back and looked at them all from his console like they had extra pair of heads. “Why are talking about woodland creatures? ” Ean asked with a perplexed look at them all.

“Ask the LT Zol, she seems to be the farm girl… I still wonder how Shaun got sucked into that world.” Calin said, it wasn’t uncommon knowledge of the two, and while they did have a mission it never hurt to have some levity in between to keep people loose and ready.

Calin/Zol

As they moved on the trail, the tachyon trails seemed slightly stronger. The ship was probably travelling faster than the Romulan ship.

GM

Morganna looked at the others on the Bridge “We had racoons in El Paso all the time. Masked bandits with a penchant for getting into trouble.” She said off handedly and then looked at Calin “I’m concerned about that Tachyon trail. That means that the Romulans are still in the area and they will return. We know that they are dogged if nothing else.” She said quietly.
