((Bridge, Deck 1, USS Icarus))
Snlpkg: Are you capable of finding the information about the problem with the drive? Distractions do not help.
Yirah: Procurator, have been allowed to view our investigation but we have not been allowed to observe the sensor data that has brought you to us. I would like to see it.
Snlpkg: We are overseeing your investigation, not partnering in it. We are the superior investigation.
Rajel: Since we both are looking for the same information, it would be helpful though.
Yirah: Procurator, since you are so knowledgeable in the ways of law and efficiency you surely know that the fastest way to figure out if this ship is a metaweapon is to compare the signature that you picked up of the Icarus to what the Treaty of Algeron classifies as metaweapon including what is considered an identifier of such a weapon.
Snlpkg: You have such records yourselves. Is this not a Starfleet ship? Do you not have records on this ship or the Treaty of Algeron terms? Check them yourself.
Brexis: Easier said than done, buddy.
Rajel: This is a ship, however since it just returned, and has the whole tech it is not connected to the current database as of now.
Yirah: Well, you are going to have to show it to someone, Procurator, as failure to provide either artifacts of evidence means that you have no right to arrest us or to bring us to trial. We can keep investigating but it won't do your case any good and we'll just keep going around... and around... and around... and around ::as he spoke he stepped towards the Procurator raising his left index finger and drawing circles in the air with each 'around' until he stood right in front of the Sheliak index finger raised:: Unless the law is not actually what matters to you in this situation? ::he spoke the question as though it was a comment::
Yirah: Boop.
Shock caused the Procurator to freeze as the organic removed his finger. As thoughts and feeling returned it to reality it roared.
Snlpkg: AAAARRHGGG! The vermin touched me! ::it scrambled backwards toward the Tholian and other Sheliak:: Disinfectant! I need disinfectant!
Brexis/Rajel: Response
Blaine watched, unable to look away from this comedy of errors. He couldn’t believe Indrid had touched the Sheliak. It was almost as if he couldn’t look away.
Snlpkg: The creature touched me! What diseases might these creatures carry? I could have microphlaxidoeria! I’m not feeling well. Where is that disinfectant?
Rajel: Please calm Procurator. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.
Yirah: Response
McCray: :: under his breath :: Ha'kiv tor nuh' pen na' vohris jarel, neik pohshayek, heh tvai sutra*
((OOC: Life is too short for slow horses, cheap guns, and mean people.))
Brexis: ::Quietly:: Why in The Four would this get easier? ::Louder towards Jalana:: Commodore?
McCray: As a friend of mine once said, the only easy day was yesterday, Charlotte.
Rajel: Yes?
Yirah: Response
Blaine watched as the other two members of the Sheliak’s team scrambled to find disinfectant. He found it entertaining and found himself wonderinf about the logic of that. Was it just because he had a disdain for bullies?
Brexis: ::Sofly and calmly:: It looks like the hyperwarp has been activated. ::Gesturing to the alert on the console:: We are running out of time.
Rajel: What?
It was holding back the information. It is best to let them realize the trap before telling them it was a trap.
Yirah: Response
Brexis: ::To Jalana:: What would you like us to do?
McCray: Don’t think I’ll have enough time to fix this console to stop the jump. It took a hard smack.
Rajel: =/\= Rajel to Mingxing. What's going on. We saw the hyperdrive turned on. =/\=
Mingxing: =/\= Response =/\=
Rajel: =/\= Are you saying the ship is lost? How much time to we have? =/\=
Mingxing/any in engineering if you want to chime in: =/\= Response =/\=
Rajel: =/\= By the caves... Alright I'll make an announcement and inform the Aleek-Om. Do what you can do delay but get out of here. =/\=
Mingxing/any in engineering: =/\= Response =/\=
Rajel: =/\= Alright. Rajel out. =/\=
Brexis/McCray/Yirah: Response
Snlpkg: This is a trick, a deception!
Rajel: ::turning to Snlpkg:: This is not a trick, engineering can't turn off the hyperdrive and you heard it. You need to get out of here. ::She looked to her team:: Get your things.
Snlpkg: You misunderstand; it is our trick. We are confiscating this ship! It will be impounded in Alliance space. We will learn the secrets of this weapon! We are in control! Under the Articles of Tensara Section 453, Subsection 43, A323.4 You are under official arrest.
Blaine was tempted to reach for his phaser, but figured since Jalana and the others had not, they surely didn’t need him reaching for his. He wasn’t about to let them arrest any of the Starfleet officers, but he did move into a position where he could defend his shipmates if something wasn’t figured out.
Brexis/Yirah: Response
Snlpkg: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further. ::turning to its team:: By the Great Ooze, they’d better pray.::it turned back to face the Starfleeters::.
oO Has this guy watched Star Wars? Oo Blaine wondered. Who would have thought? A Sheliak with a secret desire to understand Federation Culture by watching four hundred year old human films.
Rajel: =/\= Rajel to anyone on the ship. The hyperdrive has been activated for reasons unknown to us. We are unable to stop its destruction. Grab what you could find and evacuate immediately. Rajel out. =/\=
Blaine scrambled to grab his PADD and his EVA helmet, making sure he had everything he had brought with him.
Brexis/Yirah/Snlpkg: Response
Rajel: I will send you all the database information we collected but you have to get out of here Procurator!
Snlpkg: We no longer have a need. We will take the ship for ourselves. Is your hearing impaired?
Rajel: =/\= Rajel to Aleek-Om. We are evacuating the Icarus immediately. Find a way to protect the space around the ship from damage of an explosion. A bubble or something. =/\=
Aleek-Om Bridge: Response
Rajel: =/\= Yes we cannot stop the Hyperdrive powering up and tearing the ship apart, get on it right now. We don't wand subspace rip everything else apart too. Rajel out. =/\=
Rajel: I don't care where you're going but you can't stay here. Please get off the ship.
Snlpkg: We are in control. Your crew should surrender. You are our hostages!
Rajel: =/\= Rajel to Aleek Om. Four to beam out. =/\=
Blaine struggled to keep his mind clear and make sure he didn’t move as he felt the tingle of the transporter take hold of him and the blue, sparkly field fill his vision.
