< Peel >

Captain O'Connell's comm went off "This is the Captain, go ahead." "The Away Team has returned Sir" came the reply. Looking to Angel "The conn is your Commander" rising from his chair "Lieutenant Albo you're with me" O'Connell ordered then the two Officers headed to the Lift "Deck 3".

"What's going on Captain" Johan inquired. "Good news Johan, Sarissa's returned." Before Johan could respond the Lift doors opened as Jamie gestured "After you Lieutenant" as both Officers entered Transporter Room One.

Seeing Sarissa standing a little distance from the pads, Johan ran up to her and threw his arms around her then kissed her passionately for a few minutes not caring who was present then whispered in her ear "Sweetheart I thought I had lost you forever" as a tear welled up in his eyes.

Sarissa held onto Johan a little more tightly than she normally would have. “No way, I’m not leaving you.” She offered a smile but Johan would tell that she was putting on a brave face.

"Good" he whispered back "I'm here for you whatever you need" he replied with a smile seeing she was a little off. Turning to O'Connell "Captain thank you so much for getting her back safely Sir."

The Captain smiled "You're welcome Lieutenant" as he changed his attention to Sarissa "Counselor take the rest of today and tomorrow to process and come to terms with what happened. Mr.Albo you have the same time off to attend to your future bride; that's an order."

"Thank you Captain, I'll do my best" Johan replied with a smile.

Sarissa gave O’Connell a nod of her head. “Thank you Captain.”
She looked towards Johan grateful to have his company. Right now she needed him.

"You're welcome Counselor and please get some rest" O'Connell replied with a smile. After the two Officers left the Transporter Room. Jamie turned his attention to Yesrin "Lieutenant Jen I can't thank you enough for saving my two Officers from a fate worse than death."

"As always Captain you are welcome; that's why I do what I do....to save people" then she paused "Although I think we've had enough infiltrating to last us awhile" Yesrin stated referring to both Jen and herself with a grin.

Jamie grinned back "Indeed! You're free to go" he replied as she smiled and left to see to returning her equipment to it's proper place. Feeling very fortunate and proud to have such a fine Crew under his command, the Captain returned to the Bridge.

< Ship Approaching >

The quiet little ship that had kept its distance no longer did so as it came closer to the Peel. It was not the standard design but it was indeed a Ferengi registered vessel.

[ Greetings Federation vessel...I am Daimon Shep.] he greeted.

< Peel >

Standing behind Helm "Greetings, I'm Captain Jamie O'Connell commanding officer of the USS Peel; what do I owe the pleasure Daimon Shep" he inquired always a little leery of Ferengis.

[ It would seem that there has been a robbery. I am owed a large sum of latinum from the leader of this Ring.] replied Shep

Thinking for a few moments "I would assume you're talking about Emirate Moth Lundren. Unfortunately I received word in an attempt to arrest him for his crimes, my First Officer being one of such crimes, he was shot and killed trying to resist arrest" the Captain explained then paused "You may want to contact General Clevex, he's setting up a new government on Valdaron."

[ Unfortunately that won't work as the General is too busy. However Moth Lundren sent me a message that said he had dealings with a Star Fleet Captain who had offered his first officer, a female, as payment. If there is no latinum I would like the female. VALDARON Law allows for the rent of sex slaves. ] Shep replied.

Hearing what was being said Angel sprang from her seat thinking "Enough of this nonsense!" as she walked up beside her Captain knowing this was a fabrication. She knew Jamie too well....he would never do such a thing "Mr. Shep, I believe I'm the female in question here so let me state this as plainly as I can.....I AM NOT FOR SALE....not for any price....not to anyone and certainly not to you" she stated in a loud voice with fire in her eyes.

O'Connell had all he could do to keep from loosing his temper at Shep knowing the Ferengi was lying through his double set of teeth trying to profit off the situation "First of all I said no such thing, secondly Star Fleet is not under Valdaron Law, and thirdly, as my First Officer already stated, she is NOT for sale. Star Fleet Captains do not sell off members of their Crew" then he paused collecting himself "However should you decide to take forceable actions, I will do whatever it takes to protect this Ship and her Crew! And I doubt you would like the results."

[ A challenge from a starship Captain. I would expect no less. However I do have data that can be sent to your Star Fleet through the Ferengi channels showing what I have said is correct. Do not underestimate my ships abilities though. It was designed by the best engineers the Nausicans have.] Shep replied. [ I will take my leave of you Captain. It would seem General Clevex has decided to meet with me.]

Knowing Shep was still lying O'Connell decided to end their conversation on a positive note "Daimon Shep I hope you find some resolve to your situation through General Clevex" he stated then signaled for the transmission to be terminated.

Walking back to their seats Jamie looked at Angel as he said in a low voice "You do realize what he said was an out and out lie; I would never do anything that despicable to any member of my Crew."

Turning Angel smiled "I know you wouldn't Captain" she replied relieved this was finally over "At least I have the satisfaction of knowing Lundren fianlly got his in the end."

Smiling back "Yes he certainly did. Helm pot in a course for M-69.....once we clear Valdaron warp eight please" the Captain ordered.

"Aye Captain...course laid in.....clearing Valdaron" as the Peel turned "Going to warp eight now" Ensign Hanes replied.

Looking towards Angel "It's time to go home" Jamie commented more than anxious to see Shauna after all she had been through."
