Mission: The Undiscovered Starbase
Location: Various
Timeline: Current

OFF:

I see that our new crewmembers wasted no time introducing their characters--I like it!

ON:

{USS Albion, Bridge}

Glass: "You're on, Ensign."

Mack: =/\=This is Ensign Julius T. Mack of the Federation Starship Albion. ... By violation of treaty between the Federation and Ferengal Empire, your presence here is an act of war. You have two minutes to surrender your crew and your vessels, or we will destroy you.=/\=

::five Ferengi ships surround the drifting Albion::

Ferengi on screen: =/\=Ensign Mack, this is your opponent speaking. Do not lecture me about treaty violations. The Federation, in inviting us to this ambush, has become a gang of Intergalactic criminals! It is not I who will surrender, it is you! ... On the starbase below, my Captain is currently speaking with your Admiral who arranged this disgrace. If you do not surrender immediately, I will leave and never return as you are an enemy of galactic peace...and=/\= ::cough:: =/\=Profit.=/\= ::cough::

Mack: =/\=Who is this?! How dare you talk to my Admiral?!=/\=

Ferengi: =/\=Who I am is not important! Besides, I am perfectly capable of reading a tactical display which indicates that you are fully disabled after hitting yourself with 12 torpedoes.=/\=

{Starbase 10, Yoshimeyer's Office}

::forcefield around the office disappears::

Yoshimeyer: "Thank heavens."

Ferengi Captain: ::re-enters:: "Shall we continue, Admiral?"

Yoshimeyer: "Yes, please." ::motions for the Ferengi Captain to take a seat:: "Oh uh, Commander Andrews, I changed my mind about Sprague--he stays arrested. You, on the other hand, have exactly 3 minutes to get control of your crew and ship, whatever's left of it, before I have all of you arrested. Is that understood, Commander?"

Andrews: "Clearly, Sir." ::leaves with Ensign Bull::

OFF:

What's next?
