Stardate:2406.07.04 Mission: Down to the River, Day 1 Mission : Opportunities of Engagements, day 8 Stardate: 2406.07.04 (Scorpian - Quarters - COUNS. Lt. Rose Cantarzini - 0652) "Computer, analyse message and identify the last minute of that message." The computer took a few seconds and then replied. [The sound is consistent with an attack upon a ship] Alexandra put down her cup of coffee and look at Tahl. "Okay Rose, let's not panic. I know Drake and this wouldn't be his still. Now, he said that he was going to get your family on Starbase 24 so, something must have happen." Alexandra made her way to her private office, followed my Tahl who was beside Rose just in case she wouldn't feel good. She sat in front of it and tap a few keys and a special access codes on the computer. The screen lifted and then Alexandra said. "Captain Lowell to Captain Drake... Can I talk to you?" "Hard to port" Drake yelled, "watch out for that one...." Drake was cut by a voice that was not on the ship. "Alex?" Drake asked in a hurried voice, [Alex, unless this is really important..] Then to his people..[Come on people we have to loose these or else..] back to Alex, [Alex I am a bit busy at this time] He replied back again. "Who is attacking you? Rose is worried and now I'm too." Alexandra gave a look at Rose and then return to the screen. [Captian shields down to 75 percent] Jerad announced in his calm manner. [I dont know Alex] Drake said then he caught that Rose was there, [Alex secure line pls] "How do you think I'm calling you.... of course it is secure. Can you send me a visual on who is fighting you?" [Not at the present time we have had some damage, Alex they were waiting for us!] Drake said hurriedly, [They dropped out of Warp on top of us. Not all the warp signatures are known to me.] [Rose's place is bugged I think] Drake added [Or the comm line was] "I will take care of it." Alexandra saw that she was receiving the telemetry of who was fighting. "I'm analysing right now. It's a mix of signature alright, some federation, some others that I can either. Drake, Starbase 24 has weapons... can you detect if they are down?" [Alex, as far as I can tell they are down but I dont know if they have been disabled or just not been attacked] Drake replied still watching what was going on around him. [They knew we were coming] Drake repeated angrily. [That one now fire the main cannon] Drake yelled and the lights dimmed as the weapon activated. "Who, the station?" [No! the ships that are attacking us. I dont think they are from the station but I could be wrong. See if you can contact them and find out if they are on our side. If they are maybe they can send out something to help, we have taken a few out but there are just too many and I dont know if we will make it out of this.] Drake replied worried just as the entire ship shook violently. "Understood! Give me a moment." Alexandra open another secure link. She could feel Rose's tention has that one grabbed the back of her chair and squize. She punch her captain access code and made a contact with the Starbase 24, Captain Armand Moore. "Captain Lowell to Captain Moore... can I talk to you?" [Captian Lowell how can I help you?] Armand responded a little worried that another captain would be calling in at a time like this. Alexandra was pleased that he responded quickly. "Are you fighting an unknown ship Captain Moore? because this unknown ship is an ally of us!" [No Captain but we were told that a ship was on a vector that was going to attack us. We were told to stay out of the battle that the enemy would be handled.] Armand replied still a bit worried. "The ship commanded by Captain Drake is an ally and no enemy... who gave you those orders?" Alexandra was trying to stay calm but she knew that time slipping away and this attack had to stop right now. [The orders came from Admiral LoDona through Fleet Captain Hozaka. Why is there a problem?] Armand asked concerned "Yes there is... do you have on board the Station a couple name Ayla and Ran Fiori... they are the parents of are Counsellor. Captain Drake was sent here to get them back to the Cochrane. Captain Drake is the fiance of are Counsellor Captain Moore." [Just a minute Captain] Armand said as he looked over the list of personnel that had arrived already, [Captain we have them, they just arrived an hour ago. What is it that you want me to do captain?] Rose suddenly got up and screamed. "Stop this attack right now Captain Moore." She was partially crying her eyes out. Tahl took her aside to comfort her. "Lieutenant! Sit down!" Alexandra ordered. Rose sat down immidiatly. "Captain Moore, Admiral LoDona is in this quadrant, his ship is with Starbase Geneva... he would have send you this order himself. Stop this attack right now." [I will send the USS Futura and the Inverness to help your Captain Drake. I will also send word out to Hozaka that he is to leave the area or come under attack.] Armand replied already sending orders to the two captains. "I will contact Captain Drake! but we are still online." Alexandra mute the link with Captain Moore to be able to talk with Drake who heard but couldn't talk because she mute him. "Drake, did you hear? Don't do anything!" [I heard but I am not sure they will comply. A couple of ships would be nice especially the Inverness and Futura.] Drake replied sounding a bit hurried. "I will try to contact them as well!" Alexandra went to work, her fingers flying over the console. She manage to contact them and give them the low down about what is going on. "Inverness, Futura, Starbase 24 and all the other ships. This is Captain Alexandra Lowell of the USS Cochrane, the ship commander Captain Francis Drake, CO of the Scorpion is an ally, he isn't the enemy. You are not the only one that misinformation got too, I had my share... be very careful in the decision you are about to take." [USS Cochrane you are a renegade Ship and not to be listened to by orders of Admiral LoDona and Doenitz] Captain Arenta replied. [If you are an ally with a Marquis renegade then you are renegade that much more.] "I'm with Admiral LoDona, I told him that myself. He is on Starbase Geneva with his ship the USS Talon. Captains... I would lay down my life for each and everyone of you if it's to save you and the Captain of the Scorpion would do the same in a second." Alexandra remained calm but she was starting to feel powerless, for everyone sake she had to control that feeling right now or there would be bad consequences. [I have and will again Alex] Drake chimed in. [This is Captain Moore, I also vouche for Drake as long as Captain Lowell does. She is the most honest captain I have had the honor to meet. I implore you to stop attacking now as I do not want my ships to fire on our own.] Armand added There was an eiry silence but Alexandra decided to play her cards. "Captains, the Cochrane had been out of contacts for the pass 3 months for the simple reason that a device was put at are communication for that purpose. I have just learn about what is going on 4 days ago and my crew accepted and is following me in that journey. We can't take any communication for granted, we have to think of the future and are crew, has CO it's your duty and has thinking beings it will be the hardest job and decision you will ever take. Like me, I think you will want allies, well... you have 2 right now. The USS Cochrane and the Scorpion. Please, stop this attack and think." [Cease attack] Arenta ordered, [Captain Lowell we are searching for a simaliar item now to see if you are correct.] "I can send you the schematics of it!" Alexandra felt like she could breath again and sigh with relief. [Please captain] Arenta replied [Thank you Captain Arenta] Armand replied. [I have not said I would stop, just put a halt to it to see if what she has said is the same on ours.] Arenta replied "I'm transmitting the schematics right now to all the ships. Also the listening devices that I have discovered and how to detect them. Your screen should light up like a Christmas tree if you have any of those devices on board." Arenta watched as the information arrived and his science officer looked them over. In minutes the science officer signaled the affirmative to him. [Captain it would seem that what you have said is correct and that we have a few on board. Attack is called and we will group up at Starbase 24 to see what we find. If that is alright Armand?] Arenta said with a smile, [ Also Captain Drake I do applologize for the attack and if there is anything we can do for you at the station we will.] [Affirmative Captain Arenta you are welcome] Armand replied [No problem, Captian just a spot to repair ourselves is all we need.] Drake replied. [Captain Drake maybe you would be up to show me that ship of yours, by all rights you should have been destroyed] Arenta replied, [Also, fleet captian Hozaka was the big ship you took out just a few minutes ago and I think he would not have stopped as he was straight from Doenitz.] [Hmm sorry captian but only a few have come aboard] Drake replied to him. [Alex, Rose there still?] Drake asked "Yes she is!" Alexandra signaled her to come closer. "Drake... are you okay?" Rose dried up her tears on her face and try to smile. [Rose we are alright Love, the ship is damaged but we can repair that. You take care of yourself and our baby.] Drake said sofly to her "I am... I just got worried when I heard that sound at the end of your message." Rose touch the screen like if she was reaching to touch Drake's face. "Please, come back quickly!" [I am sorry, we will be as soon as we can Love.] Drake promissed her, [Alex take care of her, Drake out.] "I will Drake! Take care!" Alexandra turn off communication with the Scorpion and return to talk with Starbase 24. [Captain Lowell we will insure that his ship is repaired and on their way as soon as he can] Armand put in with an affirmative from Arenta chimiing in. "Thank you! I appreciate it. So now we know, and it seem like we have won a round. Captains, you will have to perform very regularly system checks on your communication and everything else. If you need anything, contact me on this special chanel I'm transmitting you coded." [We will Captain Lowell and thanks for letting us know before we did something very wrong.] Arenta replied "I have to go... it seem that my ship as leaks again. Take care Captains... Captain Lowell out!"

Lt. Rose Cantarzini & CO Lowell - 0700) Rose started to cry and this time it was Alex that grab her. She knew just to well the feelings that overwelhm her Counsellor. She look at Tahl. "Get breakfast ready, I will talk to her." (Reply from Tahl) "Thanks Sweetheart!" Alexandra sat her down on a chair and she grab another, brought her in front of her. "Rose, you have to get a hold of yourself and calm down." "I miss him so much Alex." She dried her tears. "I know Rose, I have been through this before, and from what I see it's going to be a difficult journey ahead of us and we must take it one day at a time." Alexandra felt like she had a hard stone in the pit of her stomach. "Rose, Drake has been so many first, true there's not many years that separate between him and me but enough to make a difference." "First?!" "Yes, and you can let your imagination go on that one." Alexandra had a crooked smile on her face, she wasn't sure if Tahl was listening but she heard that plats kind of drop on the floor, and he scoffled around to pick up everything. "It took me a year to let that part of me go to him. I resisted, maybe it says a lot about my character, I don't know. He is sweet, romantic, and when you are with him you are the center of his world but also stubborn and he can be hurt too. He is counting on you Rose, and you have to take strengh of that, of him, no matter what happens. He showed me a lot of what I can do and of who I am. You are lucky!" Her voice crack a little. "Michael!?" "He comes back from time to time to haunt me. We did talk, Tahl and me about having children and let just say we are working on that." Alexandra heard again, but less loudly the crash of dishes. "Rose, if you feel again this way... come and see me." "I will and maybe we should go help Tahl out before you don't have any plats left." "I think so too!" Alexandra started to laugh.

"Ah, Ensign Belinia, I know you are not on duty but I need your abilities in dealing with the communication system." Peter looked at the Captain "Aye sir, what is it you want me to find?" He asked knowing there was something coming. "We need to know if what they've told us concerning the betrayal of the USS Rygil's CO is true. I'm sure that one of your communication relays has picked up their communications. I want you to examine the communication logs and verify the assertions of that Major Daniels." "Aye." Peter replied as he walked towards a console. "Sir, just a point. But since we are 'renegades' our access to Starfleet controled assets would be noticed and monitored." (Reply Vladeck) "Aye. I'll try to be as discreet as I can." Peter set about working. Half an hour later Peter had found enough for an initial report. He downloaded the data onto a PADD and walked to the Captains ready room and pressed the chime. (Reply Vladeck) As the doors parted Peter stepped inside. "Sir I think I have something for you."

Until two years ago when Starfleet Inteligence came accross it during a purge of deceased Admirals files. Guess who was the investigating Admiral?" (Reply Vladek) "The one and only. The reason I suspected anything was due to several rumours at the Academy. Those who spread them were duly dismissed with disgrace. Highly embarassing, people soon dropped it out of circulation.

(Reply from Rofellian, Capps, anyone) (Posted by Laurence Durand) Stardate:2406.07.04 Mission: Down to the River, Day 1 Mission: Opportunities of Engagements, day 8 Stardate: 2406.07.04 (Starbase Geneva - Main Operations - FO/CONN - Lt.Cmdr John Wilson - 1300) John was hearing the information about the fighter squadron when his com badge activated once more. John tapped his badge to receive the communication. =^=Captain Rofellian, Comdr Wilson... can you tell me what is going on? Is everything okay or do you need help. =^= "Thank you Captain Lowell, however it is my understanding that the fighter squadron has been welcomed and is only going to be here for reloading and refuelling. I would ask that if possible that your fighter wing could remain around the station. I have a fear that they might be a danger to the safety of the station. Would that be ok," John stated. =^= Finally... No, just your last message about those fighters coming to repairs and recharge. So everything is all right then. Wonderful... Lowell out! =^= John smiled at Vladek and continued to hear his briefing on the fighter squadron. (Reply none) (Posted By Richard Bowes)
