Host ADMHazbin says:
$::nodding::  Yes, you are correct.  A real mess, I'm afraid.  I'm not sure what's going on there.  Apparently Starfleet doesn't either.

TACSirach says:
::ordering guards to all ship entrances::

CEOTal says:
::beginning realignment process::

SO_Sulla says:
Sky: Power transfer complete, sir.

CNS_Warke says:
::continues with paper work… thinks paper work, paper work, so much paper work to be done::

CTO_Cain says:
::heads back to bridge::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$Hazbin: So what is our function here?

FCO_Vid says:
Tal: Primary diagnostic on Nav pallets complete may I assist somewhere else?:

CTO_Cain says:
::on TL1:: *Sirach*: Security status please.

SO_Sulla says:
::trying to restore power to affected systems::

*Cain* Everything is going fine...we have guards at each entrance to the ship

CEOTal says:
Vid: Help with checking the impulse engines.

FCO_Vid says:
CEO: Aye, Sir:

TACSirach says:
*Cain* However the next Security Team is not preparing for their shift

Host XO_Louis says:
::Listening intently ::

SO_Sulla says:
Sky: Control circuitry in the EPS junction boxes is acting up--attempting to compensate.

CTO_Cain says:
*Sirach*:  I'll be there in one minute.

CEOTal says:
Bishop: How are the transporters coming along?

TACSirach says:
*Cain* Aye

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  You two are to board a runabout and leave here immediately for Akaarat Prime.

CSO_Paldn says:
Sulla: see if there is an intruder aboard, just in case, use internal sensors.

FCO_Vid says:
::leaves diagnostic screen and joins others in checking impulse engines:

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  A temporary acting CO and XO will be assigned to the Ganymede in your absence.

SO_Sulla says:
Sky: Re-initializing junction box control software--check for intruder, aye.

CEOTal says:
::Dilithium realignment complete::

ENGBishop says:
*CEO*: You told me to take my team and work on the power systems

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::looks skeptical:: Hazbin: And is that everything? I'm not wild with the notion of leaving my ship to someone else.

SO_Sulla says:
::moves to Tactical and powers up internal sensors::

Host XO_Louis says:
Captain: Agreed.

CEOTal says:
*Bishop* Sorry Please continue.

SO_Sulla says:
::scanning for unauthorized personnel::

TACSirach says:
::notices Sulla at other Tac station...strange::

ENGBishop says:
*CEO*: Aye sir

CTO_Cain says:
::enters bridge, walks over to Sirach:: Sirach:  Have teams 2,3 and 4 walk the ship and see if anyone needs assistance.  Also tell them to keep on the alert.

TACSirach says:
Cain: Aye

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  You know as much as I do.  In the anticipation of your reaction, I've appointed Commander Spicer as acting CO in your stead.  She's the most trustworthy acting CO I could name.

FCO_Vid says:
::approaches Bishop::

CSO_Paldn says:
::scans for a computer virus::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::visibly relaxes at this:: Hazbin: What is our cover?

CEOTal says:
::running level 3 diagnostics on transporter subsystems:

TACSirach says:
::informs teams 2, 3, and 4 to walk the ship to see if anyone needs assistance, informing them to be on alert::

FCO_Vid says:
Bishop: Lt. Tal has asked me to help with your repairs:

CNS_Warke says:
::finishes paper work and files it only to discover that there's more paper work::

SO_Sulla says:
Sky: No unauthorized personnel detected, sir.

Host XO_Louis says:
$Admiral:... and what is our objective?

CTO_Cain says:
::monitoring comm channels for anyone needing assistance within the ship::

CSO_Paldn says:
Sulla: Thank you

ENGBishop says:
::notices FCO coming toward him:: FCO: Grab a tricorder and help me scan this conduit

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::smiles a little as Louis completes her thought::

SO_Sulla says:
::restores tactical to previous mode::

TACSirach says:
::checking status of the scans that he has programmed the ship to do automatically::

FCO_Vid says:
::takes tricorder and begins scans::

MEDgesuin says:
$::remembers something he forgot in his starbase quarters::

TACSirach says:
::making slight changes in his program::

CEOTal says:
::notices the phase transition coils need replacing::

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun: There are reported raids in that area, and now this distress signal.  Here's your cover:  You two are posing as a married couple.

CTO_Cain says:
Sulla:  Tactical restored, thank you.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she clears her throat and keeps her calm completely:: Hazbin: Oh, really.

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  You'll leave the runabout in orbit and transport down to the surface as if you're pilots for hire with lots of experience in shipping contraband.

SO_Sulla says:
Cain: No problem--apologies for using your station.

Host XO_Louis thinks:  $:: Pirates... I like it already ::

CEOTal says:
::assigns engineering teams to Transporter rooms 1 3 and 7.::

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  Penetrate the organization as best you can and find out what's really going on there.

ENGBishop says:
*CEO*: We're going to need to replace most of the power conduits on the ship

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$Hazbin: Do we have any kind of support, or are we on our own?

TACSirach says:
::checking on the status of the security teams and the guards::

Host XO_Louis says:
$Admiral: Also, has SF Intel created bios for us?

CTO_Cain says:
Sky: I guess we really do need some repairs, aye sir?

CEOTal says:
*Bishop* Acknowledged.

TACSirach says:
Cain: Everything seems to be going smoothly

FCO_Vid says:
Bishop: I've only found normal stress and age:

TACSirach says:
Cain: Strange, I know

FCO_Vid says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged:

CSO_Paldn says:
Cain: Agreed, we need some real work but I doubt we'll have time.

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Louis:  Good question.  You'll find the usual covering data and documents to be available to questioning eyes.

CEOTal says:
*Bishop* Coordinate any supplies with SB Quartermaster.

ENGBishop says:
::looks at FCO's tricorder and notices it is malfunctioning::

FCO_Vid says:
::Heads in CEO's direction::

ENGBishop says:
*CEO* Aye sir

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$Hazbin: And we will be given this information in advance, correct?

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun/Louis:  I wish I were going along with you.  I miss the old excitement.

CSO_Paldn says:
*Tal* Focus on primary systems, I don’t think we will have time for a full stay here

SO_Sulla says:
::continuing to re-initialize EPS junction software::

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Nods to the Admirals comment ::

CEOTal says:
*Paldn*: Acknowledged, sir.

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  It's in this PADD as well as in the appropriate data banks anyone would think to search.

TACSirach says:
Cain: I have this strange feeling we're not really here for repairs.

MEDgesuin says:
$ *Ganymede* this is ENS Gesuin awaiting orders

SO_Sulla says:
::re-initialization has appeared to have improved power flows and reduced outages slightly::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she scans through the information:: Hazbin: Here's hoping we see you on the other side.

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Even if we're not, we need them anyway.

Host XO_Louis says:
ACTION: 15% of the Ganymede's EPS Junctions fail to initialize, leaving only essential systems running.

TACSirach says:
Cain: we do...however not much is being done...and we're being hurried

ENGBishop says:
::heads for engineering to compile a full supply order::

FCO_Vid says:
*Bishop*: Was there anything wrong with my findings?:

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  I have the utmost confidence.

Host XO_Louis thinks:  $:: Glad someone does ::

CSO_Paldn says:
*Gesuin* Come aboard and report to sickbay for blood screen

CEOTal says:
::ensuring transporter work is proceeding normally::

SO_Sulla says:
::notes failed junctions, tries re-initialization again on failed junctions::

CSO_Paldn says:
Cain: Please send someone to oversee the blood screen of the new crewman.

CTO_Cain says:
Sky:  Aye sir.

ENGBishop says:
*FCO*: Yes your tricorder was malfunctioning due to normal wear and tear, it was picking up the wrong readings

TACSirach says:
::notices power is fluctuating and that some things are gone::

Host ADMHazbin says:
$Olbrun:  Good luck.  You'll be fine.   Dismissed.

TACSirach says:
::hoping that someone is on it::

FCO_Vid says:
*Bishop*: Shall I re-scan?:

CTO_Cain says:
::contacts two security members of team 4 and has them report to sickbay::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she gives a formal nod, then turns and leaves the office::

CNS_Warke says:
::Senses tension coming from Louis and Olbrun::

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Turns and leaves ::

MEDgesuin says:
$:: grabs bags::

Host ADMHazbin says:
$::muttering::  And God be with you.

CSO_Paldn says:
*Tal* report status of ship, is she space-worthy?

CEOTal says:
*Paldn* Most of the primary system are operational sir.

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Exits the Admirals office :: Captain: I'm a little concerned about this one.

SO_Sulla says:
::makes note of failed junctions and forwards to CEO for immediate attention::  CEO: The following EPS junctions appear to have failed and need to be replaced, ASAP.

TACSirach says:
::checking over security to see if this bird will be able to protect herself effectively::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she looks over the PADD, and wonders who's bright idea it was to have them posing as a married couple::

ENGBishop says:
*FCO*: Not necessary.

CNS_Warke says:
::can't sense anything specific so she goes back to her paper work::

CEOTal says:
*Paldn* Don't take us into battle.

CTO_Cain says:
*Gesuin* Security on their way for the blood screening.

CSO_Paldn says:
*Tal* Which systems are down specifically?

CEOTal says:
*Sulla* Acknowledged.

MEDgesuin says:
::enters airlock::

FCO_Vid says:
*Bishop*: Acknowledged:

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Heading to the runabout... following the Captain ::

CEOTal says:
*Paldn* EPS related systems.

TACSirach says:
::overhears CEO saying "don't take us into battle::

TACSirach says:
::under his breath:: uh oh

FCO_Vid says:
*CEO*: Sir, am I still needed here?:

ENGBishop says:
::thinks we shouldn’t even be in space, much less in battle::

CSO_Paldn says:
*Tal* To what extent are weapons/defense affected?

CEOTal says:
*Vid* No we can handle it.

MEDgesuin says:
::enters turbo lift::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she walks to the runabout, oddly silent::

SO_Sulla says:
::thinking that the ship really needs some long-delayed work::

CEOTal says:
*Paldn* Checking sir.

FCO_Vid says:
*CEO*: Aye

MEDgesuin says:

CSO_Paldn says:
Commander: I suggest a blood screen before change of command

Host CmdSpicer says:
Sirach:  Thank you.

SO_Sulla says:
Spicer: Trying to figure out what is going on, Ma'am.

Host CmdSpicer says:
Paladine:  Certainly.  Have the CMO report to the bridge please.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she sets the ship on autopilot as soon as it is reasonable to do so, and then starts reading up on their new personas.

TACSirach says:
Spicer: We should be okay...just as long as we don't do anything

Host CmdSpicer says:
Paladine:  In the meantime, please bring me up to speed on ship's status.

SO_Sulla says:
::hmph, b@#$h::

CEOTal says:
::monitoring EPS systems closely::

Host XO_Louis says:
$Dara: So tell me, how long have we been married?

FCO_Vid says:
CMDRSpicer: Sir, Conn is operational still at station keeping:

CTO_Cain says:
::looks over at security--still at the entrance as ordered::

CNS_Warke says:
::notices she is no longer able to sense the captain and XO::

MEDgesuin says:
Spicer: Where to sir?

CSO_Paldn says:
Commander: the CEO has recommended that we not go into combat, many systems are affected by power outages.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$Robert: According to this, it's been three years now. Still on our honeymoon, if you ask some people.

SO_Sulla says:
::science diagnostic complete, systems check out except for power outages—as well they should after all the work I just put into them on the trip here::

Host XO_Louis says:
$Dara: Well we'll have to do something about that. :: Grins ::

ENGBishop says:
::lifts a transporter panel and begins scanning for malfunctions::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she turns her chair so he's looking at her back and keeps reading::

CNS_Warke says:
*Paladine: Are the Captain and XO OK?

TACSirach says:
::continues scans::

Host CmdSpicer says:
Paladine:  Our orders are to depart toe Akaarat II to investigate a subspace distress signal.  We'll depart as soon as we're able.  You'll handle the departure while I review our orders in the Ready Room.

CSO_Paldn says:
Gesuin: Perform a blood screen on yourself and then Commander Spicer

CTO_Cain says:
Commander:  Weapons on-line and shields at 92% sir and holding.

Host CmdSpicer says:
::sticking out her finger::

FCO_Vid says:

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Also is reading background data :: It says here that we specialize in contraband technology.

CSO_Paldn says:
Vid: Stand by

CTO_Cain says:
::calls security to have them report back to their stations and to keep on alert::

FCO_Vid says:
CSO: Aye Sir:

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::turns her seat back around:: Yes, and it says we're very good at smuggling. Looks like I'm listed as the pilot.

MEDgesuin says:
::starts screening CDR Spicer, after he passes his screening::

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  See if we can get shields back to 100%.

TACSirach says:
Cain: aye

CSO_Paldn says:
*Tal* we have orders to depart, power up the core

TACSirach says:
::does some scans on the shields::

Host XO_Louis says:
$...and that we are wanted by Starfleet to be prosecuted for stealing warp technology.

CEOTal says:
*Paldn* Acknowledged sir.

Host XO_Louis says:
$Dara: Well Mrs. Pilot... we have our work cut out for us.

TACSirach says:
*CEO* Anyway we can get the shields to 100%?

SO_Sulla says:
::sees screening is negative and moves to SCI 2, making preps to get underway::

CEOTal says:
::Powering up::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$Robert: It's so nice to be wanted....

CSO_Paldn says:
Commander: Aye, aye

CEOTal says:
*Sirach* Checking sir?

Host CmdSpicer says:
::sitting down with a whoosh of relief::   

SO_Sulla says:
Sky: Science is ready to get underway, sir.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she sets the PADD down in her chair:: Robert: If you'll excuse me, I'm getting out of this uniform and into something a little less formal.

Host CmdSpicer says:
::thinking::  It's been awhile since I commanded.  ::gazing at healed hands::  Hope it goes better this time than it did the last time.

TACSirach says:
*CEO* Shields are at 92% and holding right now

Host XO_Louis says:
ACTION: LRS on the Ganymede are limited to only 80% of normal distance.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$:;she heads back into the rear of the runabout, and finds the new clothes left for them, which she changes into quickly::

CSO_Paldn says:
FCO: set course for Akaarat II

Host XO_Louis says:
$Dara: Very well. ::Monitors heading::

SO_Sulla says:
Sky: LRS are limited to 80% of normal range due to system failures, sir.

FCO_Vid says:
CSO: Sir, laying in course for Akaarat .speed sir?:

CSO_Paldn says:
*Commander* ready to depart on your orders

CSO_Paldn says:
FCO: clear all moorings

Host CmdSpicer says:
::gazing around thoughtfully at Olbrun's Ready Room::   Who'dve thought I'd have HER chair, even for a little while?

FCO_Vid says:
CSO: Moorings cleared sir:

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she also lets her hair out of it's usual bun, and comes out of the back of the runabout looking almost completely different::

FCO_Vid says:
::brings in stabilizers::

CEOTal says:
*Sirach* I can increase shield strength but some nonessential system will be sacrificed.

CSO_Paldn says:
FCO: warp 5, stand by to engage

SO_Sulla says:
::sitting at SCI 2, watching scans and monitoring traffic::

FCO_Vid says:
CSO: Warp 5, aye, sir--standing by

TACSirach says:
*CEO* Can we do that safely? Will it effect anything crucial?

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Turns to notice Captain Olbrun :: Dara: You are absolutely stunning with your hair down. I'm so sorry I don't get to see it more often. :: Departs to the back of the runabout to change ::

CEOTal says:
*Sirach* Yes .

Host XO_Louis says:
ACTION: The Ganymede departs from the Starbase.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she smiles at this, and takes her seat again, monitoring course and speed:: Robert: If you'd just marry me you might.

Host CmdSpicer says:
::learning more about the famous Captain Olbrun from her choice of artifacts on display::  Hmmm....

FCO_Vid  (Warp.wav)

CSO_Paldn says:
FCO: warp 5

TACSirach says:
Cain: Tal believes we can increase shields to 100% by taking power from nonessential systems

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Stops in his tracks and pauses ::

FCO_Vid says:
CSO: Warp 5, Sir:

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::snaps her fingers:: Robert: Oh wait...for this mission, we are married. ::glances back down to the PADD with a wicked smile on her face::

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach: Do it.  Also, since LRS is down to 80% distance, keep weapons on-line and ready shields.

Host CmdSpicer says:
::lightly touching the casing of an animated, colored lamp::  I wonder how old this is?

TACSirach says:
Cain: Aye

Host XO_Louis says:
$ :: Laughs and exits to change ::

CSO_Paldn says:
Sulla: LRS at maximum resolution

CEOTal says:
*Bishop* How are the transporter repairs coming along?

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she looks up at him:: Yes? ::her hair is partly obscuring her face::

FCO_Vid says:
CSO:ETA in 5 min.:

CNS_Warke says:
*Paladine: Acknowledged

Host CmdSpicer says:
::peering under the table::  Aha!  A holdout phaser.  So, the famous Captain doesn't trust everyone?  Hmm....

TACSirach says:
::scanning shields::

CSO_Paldn says:
*Commander* we are 5 min from the system

Host XO_Louis says:
$Dara: If we get back from this mission, we should take some time to discuss that very subject sometime.

ENGBishop says:
*CEO*I just tried to re initialize the system but I was unsuccessful, It might be awhile until I find the problem

Host XO_Louis says:
$ :: Gets very subdued ::

CNS_Warke says:
::puts away paper work thinking I got a fair bit done but there 's still much to do::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$Robert: Surely you're not....are you all right?

CEOTal says:
*Bishop* Acknowledged.

FCO_Vid says:

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she glances down at the controls:: Robert: If you've got something to tell me, you've got three minutes to spit it out.

CEOTal says:
::continuing to monitor EPS flow::

CSO_Paldn says:
Cain: weapon status?

CNS_Warke says:
::arrives at bridge and steps onto bridge::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she makes certain that they are all ready, and she's ready for this....she hopes::

CTO_Cain says:
Sky: Weapons on-line and ready sir.

Host XO_Louis says:
$Dara: Just make sure we are watching each other's backs.... OK?

Host CmdSpicer says:
::thoughts returning to the mission::  I wonder what the real story is at Akaarat?  Even my usual contacts seem to be sending along confusing information....

ENGBishop says:
::continues scanning transporter system::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she gives him one of *those* smiles:: Robert: Always.

CSO_Paldn says:
Counselor: welcome

CSO_Paldn says:
Counselor: We are on a new mission and I need the senior staff on the bridge

ENGBishop says:
::finds another error in the system and repairs it::

TACSirach says:
*CEO*/Cain: It appears that shields are at 95% now and fluctuating

CNS_Warke says:
CSO: Understood

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she has a feeling in her gut that he's got something else to tell her, but she's not sure she's going to get it out of him before they touch down::

CSO_Paldn says:
*Commander* We are on the edge of the system and on impulse

CEOTal says:
*Sirach* That is the best I can do sir.

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Acknowledged.

Host CmdSpicer says:
::heading out the door onto the bridge::

TACSirach says:
*CEO* Thank you

FCO_Vid says:
CSO: Maintaining full impulse:

Host XO_Louis says:
$Dara: My wife, we have arrived. Shall we prepare for departure to the surface?

ENGBishop says:

Host CmdSpicer says:
Paladine:  Thank you Commander.  Any sign of ship traffic or comm traffic in the area?  Let's be on our toes here.

TACSirach says:
Cain: aye

Host XO_Louis says:
$:: Notices that the phasers have been replaced with Klingon disrupters ::

CSO_Paldn says:
FCO: All stop.  All: CO on the bridge

Host XO_Louis says:
ACTION: Ganymede sensors pick up heavy transport and small ship traffic. Very unusual for what was expected in this system.

Host CmdSpicer says:
Paladine:  I read your last article on the evolutionary theories of isolated civilizations.  Very interesting.

ENGBishop says:
::opens up transporter control panel and scans for errors::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she picks up her disrupter and puts it into the fast draw holster she's wearing::

Host XO_Louis says:
$Captain: Ready to energize.

SO_Sulla says:
Sky: I am detecting an unusual amount of traffic in the system

Host CO_Olbrun says:
$::she nods silently::

CSO_Paldn says:
Spicer: thank you, it is an evolution of thought

TACSirach says:
Spicer: I highly recommend yellow alert

Host XO_Louis $Energizing... (Transporter.wav)

Host CmdSpicer says:
Mmm.  What kind of ship traffic, Sulla?  Can you be more specific?

ENGBishop says:
::finds a short in the initialization control and repairs it::

TACSirach says:
