= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1259, STARDATE 52402.26 = starfleet

= The new Manticore-B was set to receive her new PK module after a lengthy shakedown cruise but the module was intercepted on its way to Starbase -REDACTED-. Manticore has been sent in to investigate. They were able to track the thieves to a junkyard where they came across a decent sized space station that turned out to be a ship. McFly and Pilot went inside and found the module only to be discovered by the thieves. After a firefight Pilot was jettisoned off the station in his shuttle and McFly was captured. They continued their pursuit of the thieves but soon the warp trail dissipated and stopped them in their tracks. Back at the junkyard, they discovered a comm recording of their old scumbag Mork. EJ Tried to get him to talk but he's being quite stubborn. Now Manticore's new crew members suggest a different approach. Meanwhile, Kansas has been reassigned to Presidential security and during a diplomatic conference on the moon where she thwarted an assassination attempt. Back on Earth she was sent a weird message simply containing three pictures from her brother. She learned a Vorta surgically altered themselves and snuck in as the shooter whose body has disappeared from the morgue. She just learned that McFly has also gone missing and is preparing to find where he is. Faldek and Gila are now a year into an undercover assignment on Cardassia. The purpose of which the crew has not been notified of. They've met up with Edvenent to search for -REDACTED-. However, Cardassian command has seen fit for them to be sent to new assignments disrupting their undercover mission. Faldek is on a new Dominion shipyard where after some leg work, he discovered a brand new, and devastating, Dominion ship. However he was caught and sent back to Cardassia. After a meeting with Legate Damar, Faldek is more eager than ever to end this mission. However, after one final push to end their mission, Edvenet was arrested. Faldek killed the leading investigator who was just doing his job. But now both of them need to get off Cardassia. Gila is at an outpost turned medical facility where she has gained the trust of a young Jem'Hadar who she is using for information about a secret training program. She used her influence to enroll him in the program and has learned where their first mission is located. = starfleet

::nods:: Aye Commander!

Hmm I figured there would be more of a fuss, but apparently jail breaks don't happen very often... ::quietly::

::looks at Mork:: Where's your safe room?

1

:: Stays with Faldek :: I doubt they were expecting this... :: quietly ::

Nausicaan at Spaceport> It is a great shuttle. Transporter equipped, klingon replicator and top speed of warp 7. It is worth at least 10k.

::quickly swims over:: Sometimes, a specimen needs a persuasion other than a fist. I suggest we devise a serum unique to a Ferengi that vill force the words out of him ands he begs for ze antidote! ::squaks all cute like a dolphin:: (edited)

Blast Darkday> :: looks to the Nausicaan :: You cannot seriously expect me to believe it can get to warp 7. Those Nacelles are bent!

::monitoring things from the surface. Hmm. I like the way you think! The Ferengi brain is quite complex, but I think there are other vays to get around that.

:: Taps away at Ops ::

((HI))

:::Pops the hatch and climbs out:: who;s in charge eh?

((There is our guy!))

1

::still not seeing any resistance, heads back up to the roof::

Why? You want to play seven minutes in the grand treasury? ::Looks at EJ with "do me" eyes::

1

::nods:: I agree vith Inga. The obvious spot vould be the ears no? They are quite sensative.

Nausicaan at Spaceport> That is the new style.. for cruising the spacelane. Something most people ..

((BREN!!!))

((You were doing so well with being on time...))

::giving him a stern look:: Yes! ::klingonic grin::

Blast Darkday> Get that piece of scrap of my Pad!!!!....Go...shew shew.

((I'm off tomorrow, so that completely threw off my mental groove and routine))

:: Follows to the roof ::

((Party at Bren's tomorrow!!))

9:19 PM

((kidding of course))

Nausicaan> :: looks to Kansas :: We discussing business! Go Away!...

The ears are the way to a mans heart. Or at least, a Ferengi's heart. It's the best way to rip it out of him.

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

((kidding of course))

((I'm not))

Blast Darkday> And you are wasting my time... :: draws his disruptor and promptly shoots the Nausicaan ::

Well I have a fresh federation shuttle to trade with

Nausicaan> :: shrieks as he is disintingrated from the inside out ::

1

:: Watching the Jem'Hadar load up one of their fighters ::

::Blinks::

::listening to the Cetaceans conversation while reviewing his scans::

Ve could bite them off... I vonder how it tastes. But ja, something that might cause him an... unpleasant... feeling unless he speaks the truth?

::tappity tap tap::

Sends heir Doctor Tevek to get scans of the Ferengi. Then ve cans adapt it specifically for him!

::tells the spec ops officer that he wants to transport Mork to a more secure location::

Blast Darkday> Oh apologies for the delay. :: wipes the scorch mark of the floor where the Nausicaan once stood :: You cannot imagine the amount of junk I see come my way here. Still :: looks at the Nausicaan shuttle :: The Klingon replicator intrigues me....

. Ve've got the resources here, and I am sure Annika can help us get anything ve need.

::moves to Mork and gets a tight grip on him:: Make a dumb move, you won't be moving any more....ever again.

::face looks a bit queasy hearing Inga; or as queasy as a dolphin's face can look:: I don't know, darlin. I'm not sure I care to know what a Ferengi's ears taste like.

Ja ja.. exactly.

::exfiltrates without incident:: Too easy... ::heads off to edge, the same way he got up, and begins dropping down::

Blast Darkday> :: a human wearing an odd space suit...with helmet on as if he is in space :: Federation?? How do you come upon that. :: spies Kansas ::

::moves towards a room that found via scans that seems to be easily guarded::

Does it really matter? She is fully loaded and has low miles

. Maybe not... they do look like hooman cinnamon rolls kind of. I remember a tourist on a boat in Norway dropped one in the water. I ate it, and it was delicious!

:: Looks around as he follows Faldek :: No guards... anywhere... odd..

::walks with Security Ops as they move Mork to this other room, paying attention:: (edited)

1

Blast Darkday> :: holsters Disruptor :: Let's see it...

:::Pulls phaser:: Come and take a look

You're in my house, I think it's all secure. ::looks at the security ops team:: What do you think? Pretty secure, huh?

::heads back down the alley and retraced his original route back to his hideout::

::wants to molly womp Mork again:: (edited)

Mork (Mork's Residence)

You're in my house, I think it's all secure. ::looks at the security ops team:: What do you think? Pretty secure, huh?

((If you've let us in, you'll let any assholes in!))

:: Follows close ::

. ::gathers all the ingredients for the serum and contacts Annika to bring the rest of the stuff he needs after telling her their plans::

::Hollsets her phaser::

::with phaser rifles post up on the door as they enter with Mork::

Hmm... ya know that could work. Looks like the cetaceans are cooking something. I'll get Lt. Nye to bring them what they need.

+Manticore+ Pilot to Manticore.

::once inside he opens an encrypted channel to Gila:: +Gila+ We're leaving very soon. I'm about to procure our vessel then I'll be heading to your location straight away.

:: monitors AT signals from her station :: I wonder what they have in mind?

::looks at Ed:: Change out of that prison smock. ::points to the closet::

((You should let me Worf Picard S3 Mork... :D))

1

+Pilot+ Manticore, how's it going Pilot?

Blast Darkday> :: follows Kansas ::

Mmm, now you're talking my language, sug. Our old tank wouldn't let us have sweets. Only mackerel. Not that I minded entirely but it's nice to have a treat once in a while. Perhaps after this mission that sweet little thing, Annika, could sneak us some.

+Bren+ Doesn't fair well Manticore. He's not being forthcoming...

((I assume you mean a beheading?))

1

:: Nods and looks in the closet, finding some Cardassian civies to change into ::

::finishes up the scans he was doing, starts putting equipment away, somewhat distracted by hearing that the cetaceans want to involve him in their plan::

::Bren/Calli:: The cetaceans say that they can develop some sort of truth serum to use on Mork. They guarantee it'd work... of course, there's the matter of catching him to adminsiter it to him. I've sent Lt. Nye to bring Sven what he requires from the science lab

Captain McFly

((I assume you mean a beheading?))

((yes))

wow. Interesting.

((Lt Nye

))

It couldn't hurt to ask. That was a nice cinnamon roll.

+Pilot+ The Cetaceans Have Vays to make him speaaaaak...

:::Steps into the shuttle::

::grins:: +Bren+ Let's do it. We're in a secured position for the moment.

::swims over to Tevek:: Heir Doctor. Ve need bio scans of ze Ferengi on the planet. You do this now!

+Pilot+ Sounds good, hold on for an early Birthday present

Lt. Nye> ::goes thru the shopping list of stuff they need in the science lan's supply cabinet::

Blast Darkday> :: notes the Federation shuttle...the design is obvious....steps in and looks around ::

+Bren+ Aye Commander.

Annika, Please let CetOps know they are running this one, heh....

::Changes into civilian attire as well, whilst waiting for Gila to respond::

she has no marks, never been fire upon and she does warp 8 in a minute

::raises eyebrow:: For what purpose?

Will do. ::nods:: +Sven+. OK, Sven. You got this. Lt. Nye will be down shortly with what you need.

Blast Darkday> :: taps a button on his space suit that seems to activate a scanning system, oh his hemispheric helmet a bunch of details are produced for him to look at ::

:::Tightly waiting for the review::

:: Finishes changing :: So... how exactly are we procuring a vessel?

:::Still not sure on going for the PK or McFly plan::

For what purpose? For what purpose?! ::swims up out of the water on his tail splashing water on Tevek:: Have you not been listening?! The Ferengi needs to speak! The Klingon doesn't make it happen but ve vill!

Blast Darkday> Okay what do you want.....trade? Or sale?

I have one parked, no transponder, warp 6 capable, registered to a trading company. Come on now, do you think I come into these situations without plans?

Trade... I need a quick ship that cloaks

Backie, baby. You have to talk sweeter to these bipedals. Say words like please and thank you.

Blast Darkday> ::: coughs when she mentions cloak ::

I have extra funds to cover the cloak

:: Shrugs :: I didn't know you had a ship on standby...

+Faldek+ "Understood"

::Says sexy::

::unperturbed by the splashing:: I will not be a part of devising a torture serum for use on the Ferengi. I do not believe that is part of my duties as a medical officer. I am here to maintain the health of the Manticore crew, not inflict pain on our adversaries.

Blast Darkday> I need an account number for credit check......

::sets the hideout for self destruct in 5 minutes:: Ok let's make haste, it's two blocks south. ::heads out in that direction::

::makes unintelligable squeaking sounds that the UT can't make sense of::

:: Began to look over any pertinent data before she departed ::

:::Hands over her credit-chit::: you don't want cash?

::enters CetOPS with the list of stuff Sven needs:: uhh... here you go.

+Gila+ 30 minutes or less, I'll send a microburst signal to your comms when we're in range, meet out back then. Faldek out.

Just put it over there... tak.

::raises eyebrow in response to unintelligible squeaking sounds::

+Bren+ Are we still a go?

Blast Darkday> :: takes Chit and pops it into a device on his arm :: Let us head to my office....::: exits shuttle ::

::checks the AT's progress::

:: Is right behind Faldek ::

:::Closes hatch, follows him::

:: Looks over the faciliy main room before departing :: "Out of the lion's den." :: she muttered ::

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

+Bren+ Are we still a go?

+Pilot+ Yessir, just waiting on a serum to be synhesized

Doctor, I believe what my colleague here is trying to say is, we know as a Doctor, you've taken a vow to do no harm. That's not what this is. We're merely equipping Commander Pilot with alternative forms of persuasion. All we need is a set of bio scans and the rest is up to us. And I can assure you, nothing will befall that, ugh, gross Ferengi, that can't be undone... Assuming they would want it undone.

+Bren+ Copy that.

:::Enters the office, doesn't like smell::

::enters the small hangar with Ed and the ship and begins pre-flight:: You know your way around a small cargo ship?

Blast Darkday> :: walks to his office and again tries to remove the scorch mark the Disrupted Nausicaan left on his floor before he sits in a chair behind his desk and reads the chit data...::: Your credit is excellent.

::beams the ingredients into the tank where he and Inga begin to work on the serum::

:: Nods :: Of course..

Blast Darkday> :: returns chit to Kansas ::

:: Is feeling better after some medication ::

I think the shuttle more then covers the Trade

::not sure what's going on, but he scurries out of CetOPS. Maybe he doesn't want to find out::

She is loaded with Fed weapons and a traspoter

::to Lt. Kelp:: And what, exactly, will befall the Ferengi?

Ok, take the engineering station.

Blast Darkday> I have many shuttles to choose from .....the problem is....you are asking for one with a cloaking device.

::Walks behind Annika:: +Pilot+ I may just replicate a cheese grater and beam it down, not quite sure what the hold up is. You know those science types, heh.

:: Nods and takes the engineering station, tapping on the console ::

+Bren+ I do.

That sounds more like A you problem

::still standing guard::

:: Exits the main room, largely empty now due to the J'H's departure. ::

+Bren+ Patch us through...

. Yes, I assure you no actual harm will befall him. It will however, help the interrogation process of Mork quite significantly. Provided the hoomans down there can get him in a place we can give it to him.

Of course we can perform our work without the proper scans, but we can't guarantee it would be engineered correctly for this individuals DNA. There could be unintended side effects that could become irreversible. Now you wouldn't want that on your conscience, would you, sugar? ::swims around Tevek with her tail gently grazing him around his body::

1

::finishes up the pre-flight, engines are warming up. An explosion can be heard in the distance:: That's our cue... ::sits at the helm and lifts off, heading towards the part of the planet with the medical facility::

((Remind me, why is Tevek physically in the tank with them?))

Blast Darkday> Do you comprehend the amount of power a Cloaking device uses ? The only individuals that DO have Shuttles equipped with Cloaking Devices are Romulans. You do know this right?

((he was doing some check ups on them))

:: Keeps an eye on all systems :: All systems in the green..

Klingons do as well

((I want to say dodging medical physicals, but I think I'm crossing it with an episode of LD I watched recently lol))

I don't mind a hog-pog shuttle.. you know One co-mingled (edited)

((Pakled!))

Blast Darkday> Do I look like a Klingon? :: stands and begins laughing ::

::to Sven:: May I see the materials that Lt. Nye brought for this serum you are proposing to make?

no you look like someone who knows a goood deal when you see one

+CetOps+ Pilot here. What's the ETA on that serum?

Blast Darkday> Fortunately for you there was a recent engagement Near the Romulan Neutral Zone....well a couple of years ago......some Starfleet Mission gone wrong....that involved the Romulans...

Ja ja... they are here. Nothing fatal, or vould cause permanent damage. It only targets the nerve receptors in his ears to get him to respond more truthfully.

:::takes a seat::: that does sound promising

. We're almost finished here, but feel free to take a scan.

:: Smiles to Violet as his medication takes hold :: "Always a challenge for me."

De ears! De ears! That is the vay!

Ja, ja fer shoor

::sends the microburst signal as he approaches the loading area for the medical outpost::

::nods:: Very well, I will proceed with the scan. (edited)

Blast Darkday> The engagement resulted in the destruction of some Romulan Ships along with a Federation Tug . Some of the drift...from Romulans ships provided opportunity.....:: activates a monitor ::

::swims aside to let the doctor do his scans::

::her nose over Tevek's should:: See, sug, it's all on the up and up. There's much worse things that could befall a lil' ol Ferengi.

:::Leans forward, to see the screen::

Blast Darkday> ::Turns Monitor towards Kansas ::

Speed?

. Exactly. We can beam him in the tank and we could all take turns bouncing him around like a beachball.

Blast Darkyear> My analysis shows warp 8+... (edited)

1

::exits the tank to proceed with the scan::

::comes in for a soft landing::

:: Away from most anyone now, feeling relieved she is by herself. Thais said, it felt like she was watched by many eyes ::

9:49 PM

(It's a faaaake!)

::Perks slightly::: Look promising... weapons yield

Blast Darkyear> Only what it has aboard...

:: Still keeping an eye on the systems ::

You and your balls! Always vith the balls! Stop playing vith your balls! Ve haves too much vork to do!

can I purchase back ups?

All vork and no play makes Sven a dull orca.

Yoo are already a dull orca!

::Picks at lint on her slevee::

Blast Darkday> I deal in vehicles....not weapons..

+Gila+ We're here... At the loading dock...

I have cash for weapons

::conducting the bioscans of Mork::

+Faldek+ "I am on my way."

9:52 PM

:: Makes her way to the loading dock, trying not to be seen :: (edited)

::opens the rear loading ramp::

Blast Darkday> But it does have the most important item...The Cloak. :: grins ::

I'll trade shuttles (edited)

9:53 PM

and you are getting away with a hell of a deal

Blast Darkday> Your shuttle is smaller.. And it does not have a cloak. I will take the trade and 10 Thousand.

::sending bioscan results to the cetaceans::

Ed, get the documents ready for when we leave. The good stuff for our "trade route".

you are getting a fully loaded shuttle, I will say deal with 5thousand

:: Runs and runs ::

MAGIC EDIT> THE CETACEANS HAVE ENGINEERED THE SERUM TO WORK UNIQUELY WITH MORK; TEVEK NOW HAS THE SERUM AND IS READY TO ADMINISTER

:: Nods, working on the documents :: On it.

Tak, doktor. That's just vat ve needed. Now I can just adjust it to his DNA, and... okay. I think ve are good!

Blast Darkday> But no Cloak in return... :: another smile :: 8 thousand...

(heh gmta)

Fine... deal

:: ascends the ramp ::

There you do, doktor. It's done...now all you hoomans need to do is administer it to him.

Blast Darkday> :: produces a PADD :: Your thumbprint please.

::nods to Sven:: Understood.

Ooh! Is that a truth serum? Are you going to drug me?

::Presses her thumbprint::

::laughs::

((Imagine, it's just capsaicin or pepper spray))

::back hands the out of Mork:: Shush!

1

::looks back to see Gila:: Thank goodness. ::closes the ramp:: Take a seat :: points to the one near him::

:::Holds out her hand for the keys, holds the Shuttles keys in her other hand::

Blast Dark Day> ::: a graphic appears on his helmet showing a transfer in credits then he produces what appears to be an LCARS chip ::

:: sits :: "Finally, get me away from this place."

::brings the ship up and starts their ascent away from the planet, out into space::

::moans from the pain:: A little lower next time. And feel free to open my shirt.

::Pulls her go-Bag on and get to her feet::

Blast Darkday>:: gives Kansas the chip :: Docking bay....8

+Bridge+ Tevek to bridge. The cetaceans have completed their serum and it is ready to be administered.

::connects to the feed from science of Mork's palace::

Blast Darkday> Nice doing business with you.

::nods:: That Sven. He works fast.

Happy trails ::Takes the chip and heads to bay 8::: (edited)

+Tevek+ Acknowledged, I thought it had been by now. Please feel free to administer right away.

::looks at Mork::

"I need to write everything I remembered down."

::plots a course to make it subtle that they aren't heading straight for Federation space:: Get on it and brief me at the same time.

:::Pops the hatch to her Romulan shuttle... can smell their smell::

Blast Darkday> :: exhales....:: Now where is my floor scrubber ::

10:00 PM

(gnight folks must jet )

+Bren+ Yes, sir. ::heads out to administer the serum::

::engages warp:: Sweet liberty!
