::Looks up at the captain::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::stirs in his bed::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Thinks: For the Federation?::

@::looks at the Vulcan:: Vulcan: I'd certainly like to hear more about what you're doing, and exactly how it benefits the Federation. :;turns her full attention to him::

Host CO_Madred says:
::mock glares at the Doctor:: CMO: You're in my seat!

TO_Eldad says:
::Glances back at the bridge crew for a moment before going back to the tactical data::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: What do you mean "For the Federation?"

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: We have entered Romulan Space

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Commander Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: Paula Greene. This is Cmdr. Jaxtrick again, where do you suppose these machines which have acquired Klingon weapons have gotten to?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Smiles and leans back::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Pushes away from the back of the captains chair and smiles::  CO:  It is all yours.  Did everything go well with the CSO?

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CMO: Oh, I think we'll be getting along swimmingly in no time.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods with a sigh::  CO:  That is good.  And you have no problems with my suggestion?

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks towards the FCO and puts his hand on the pilot chair:: FCO: Mister O'Rourke ... correct me if I am wrong, but hadn't we already entered Romulan Space when I went into my Ready Room?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::slowly, opens one of his eyes, and slides to the side of the bed:: Lights!.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Warbird: Captain, You have the file, I presume that they are on their way to that locale.... but without active sensors we can't help you find her

Host CO_Madred says:
::pretending he has a clue what she is talking about:: CMO: Absolutely ... great suggestion!

CNS_Richardson says:
@::remains attentive, but thinks the Vulcan's a bit full of himself, though her face betrays no evidence of that thought::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: W were in the Neutral Zone then, I believe

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::skulking at her station::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Then his smile turns serious:: Both: The Federation is always in a constant state of danger. But have managed to pull through it with flying colors practically in every crisis its been forced into. However, how many times have you heard stories of starship crews encountering beings from the future which have talked of great disaster ...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::as the computer turns on the lights..:: Computer : Not so high!!! Lower intensity to 35%..

CMO_Biishe says:
::Shakes head with a smile::  CO: Now I will just have to tell Tealk.  He will not like this.  ::Sighs::  I guess I had best get it over with... unless you had something else?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::shutting his eyes until the lights turn dimmer, he tries to sit up on the bed::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ Both: ... How many times have you heard of the Federation being assimilated by the Borg, or invaded by the Klingons ten to thirty years from now?

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: Ah ... of course ... so long as we aren't going in circles then. ::chuckles and heads back to the Captain's Chair, spots the CSO and smiles at her::

TO_Eldad says:
::Peeks to his left at TAC 2, he returns his glance back at TAC 1 and sighs::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::is looking at her console, so does not see Madred smile at her::

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: You speak of alternate timelines?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~Auri?~~~

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CNS: Alternate future timelines, and our future timelines, Counselor. Everywhere I have looked, I have only seen dark fates awaiting us.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::rubbing his eyes, Tealk's head feeling very heavy::

Host CO_Madred says:
::sits down in the center seat and leans back squirming his rear around till he is comfortable::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::considers, not speaking::

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO: I am on my way love...~~~~  ::Straightens her shoulders, waiting to be dismissed::

Host CO_Madred says:
::watches the CMO waiting expectantly out of the corner of his eye ... pretends to examine his armrests in incredibly detail::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Computer : Computer, what is the time?

TO_Eldad says:
::Leans back in his chair, he relaxes a bit:: Self: Hrm..

Host CO_Madred says:
::waves a hand aloofly:: CMO: Oh yes ... you may go, Doctor. ::with an aire of mock superiority::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::catches the CTO's eye, but doesn't speak, her glance trying to gauge Ryan's reactions to this::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Reaches over and picks up the serving spoon and scoops something odd onto her plate.  Thinks: Well, this looks dead::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> @ COM: PG - FCO: We've seen that data. It doesn't help.

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: What does that blowhard want now, Lieutenant?

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: Please continue... ::having no doubt he will::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Sees the CNS glance her way and raises an eyebrow, staying silent::

CMO_Biishe says:
CO:  Hmmm... I can see Tealk is going to have his hands full. ::Leans over and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek and quietly whispers::  Good luck Jafo... until we meet again.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
<computer> XO : The time is 1400 hours..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I think he wants us to guess where the "aliens" are currently

CMO_Biishe says:
::Quickly turns to leave::

Tsalea says:
::Leaves the others to quietly eat and heads for the computer::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Picks up her fork and stabs a piece of what looks like a green colored vegetable then sniffs it before taking a bite::

Host CO_Madred says:
::blushes as the Doctor gives him a kiss and then runs off ... spots the CSO eyeing him and points a finger in her direction:: CSO: Not a word to the Exec about that now...

CMO_Biishe says:
::Steps onto the TL and heads for her quarters::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::as the drowsiness start fading, Tealk feels a faint presence.. One he had not felt in a long time... Waking up fully in a second, Tealk blares out:: Computer : Computer, what is the stardate?

CEO_Hull says:
CSO:  Anything on my brilliant provocation with the subspace scan?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::blinks, shakes her head, then turns back to her console, wondering what on earth she's gotten herself into this time::

Tsalea says:
Computer: Pull up all information concerning Shinar and Selan.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I have told them that since we are not to scan we can't help them as we are blind

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Leans forward:: CNS: I'm not willing to have it end just as simply. It seems that every attempt by future Federations to safeguard their worlds have failed. One way or another, the Alpha Quadrant falls to one disastrous cataclysm or another ... I intend to safeguard our future with my chosen.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CEO: Not yet, sir.  Although I've not had the chance to look at any of the data since my conversation with the Captain.

Host CO_Madred says:
::chuckles at the CEO:: CEO: Improvisation, Lieutenant ...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Computer : The stardate is 10011.10..

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Your "chosen" being us and whoever else you decide to give these powers to?  People like your pet, Skyler?

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: And do you "see" the outcome of the course you plan to pursue, with your chosen?

Host CO_Madred says:
::grimaces:: CSO: Ensign ... turn on the darn sensors. I want a full reading. FCO: They can't expect us to fly blind AND answer questions.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Computer> T'salea: Please be more specific in regard to the name "Selan." There are 1,003 known beings with the name Selan, and 679 with the name Shinar.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Computer : What?? I was asleep for 3 days???

CMO_Biishe says:
::Standing before her door, takes a deep breath before entering.::

CEO_Hull says:
CO:  ::grins:: Aye Sir, 'Im-provocation'  

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: Skyler's a tool. He is not one of my chosen.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I was hoping they would give us permission ::grins::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
<Computer> XO : Invalid command, please rephrase.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::turns back to Madred:: CO: Captain, with all due respect, the terms of the treaty are clear.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Then who are your "chosen"?

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: Well ... whether they give it or not, we're taking it. As soon as the CSO has the information you need, send it to them.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets up quickly, and heads for the bathroom:: Computer : Oh, shut up..

Tsalea says:
Computer:  In deed.  I request the information on Commander Selan ::Gives his number::  And Shinar, currently stationed aboard the USS Paula Greene.

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: As you pointed out, those on this colony and yourself. You'll be the future. I will not see all this perfection wiped out.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods at the CSO:: CSO: Yes, and the terms of my patience are clear as well. Turn them on.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, Sir

CNS_Richardson says:
@::looks at the Vulcan:: Vulcan: The children we saw earlier? They are your chosen?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO : Love.. Have Jafo and Tsalea arrive yet?~~~

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::hopes the Romulans understand ::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Entering the living area, heads for her bedroom::

CMO_Biishe says:
XO:  Yes love, they have.  Do you need any help?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::pauses, trying to work out the best course of action:: Self:  Um....

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Computer> T'salea: There are twenty-three known Selans holding the rank of Commander. Data on the being Shinar on U.S.S. Paula Greene: Residency as civilian. No further data available.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Me?  ::chuckles:: I am one of your "chosen"?  Why me, why the Counselor?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::hears his wife on the bedroom, as he steps into the sonic shower:: CMO : Well, i'm about to take a shower, if you'd want to join me... ::a smile appears on his face, but he dismisses it shortly after..::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: I'll admit, I was skeptical about letting a murderer in ...

Host CO_Madred says:
::sits back and sighs at the stupidity of the Romulans:: FCO: Any chance this course will take us out of there space anytime soon?

Tsalea says:
Computer: I would assume there is only one Selan with that serial number.  I will look at your programming later.  I require Selan Tracianolus.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Murderer?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::raises an eyebrow::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Computer> ::Displays record on Selan Tracianolus::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Lifts a hand to his face::  XO:  We need to talk.  ::Steps forward and lightly kisses him::  I will wait.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Sir, are you really sure you want to go ahead with this scan?  I'll only do this if you order me to.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::sighs, and enters the sonic shower:: CMO : I know what you are going to say.... And my answer is yes...

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> @ ::Getting annoyed at the lack of cooperation from the Starfleet vessel::

CEO_Hull says:
::Looks over at the CSO with her comment to the Captain::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns on the shower and the sonic waves start tingling across his skin::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Bows her head sadly and steps back::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Who are YOU calling a murderer?

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: You.

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances towards the CSO a small amount of irritation written on his face:: CSO: Any better ideas on how to get the Romulans the info they are asking *US* for, Ensign?

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: And just who did I allegedly murder?  ::Raises eyebrow::

Tsalea says:
::Lets go an unconscious sigh::  Then Selan is safe.  Computer, put a call through to the USS Scorpius to Cmd. Selan.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Perhaps if we asked permission it might save irritation?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::watches the exchange between the two::

CMO_Biishe says:
::After a moment, quietly turns to pack her things::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::closes his eyes:: Aurora : No need to be sad, my love.. I know you.. i know what you must do.. I would never stand against you on this...

Host CO_Madred says:
::thinks the CSO will make a great CMO ... already used to questioning his orders::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: I recall five members of the Free Space Movement whom you shot to death with a phaser set on kill. The face-ripping psychopath & the Terrorist Leader on Gothraic don't really count, but you killed them as well.

Host CO_Madred says:
CEO: Open a channel...

TO_Eldad says:
::Watches the phaser readings, yawning as the power bar increases in 1% and then drops back again::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Computer> T'salea: Communication channel open.

CMO_Biishe says:
XO:  I am still saddened.  But I need to do this and we need our family home.  And... if I do not soon, the temptation will be to much.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Excuse me for defending myself and the lives of my crew!  I have a right to defend myself and defense of my crew is my job after all.

CEO_Hull says:
::Opens a channel:: CO  Channel open Sir

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: Ryan was acting within the guidelines of her position, and the circumstances she found herself in.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Well, we could use the transporter scanner - that way they might not notice that we're actually using our sensors.  We could run the sensor power through that way, and reroute the whole thing.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::6turns off the shower, and steps out, putting on his robe::

Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Romulans: Romulans, we are turning on our sensor array to gather the information you have requested. PG-1, out.

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: As I recall, there is a stun setting on your phaser, Lt. Not one of your crew was killed, some were stunned in the process ... as the FSM had more regard for life than you did.

Tsalea says:
COMM:  Scorpius:  I require Cmd Selan.  Is he available?

CEO_Hull says:
::Closes channel:  CO:  Channel closed Sir!

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances towards the CSO:: CSO: There ... permission ... now do it.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::hears the Captain:: CO: Although, we could just tell them that we're about to break their rules......just like that, actually.  Scanning.  ::turns on the sensors::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<CTO-Selan> % ::Appears on the screen:: COM: T'salea: T'salea, this is a surprise ... ::Looks tense::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: If you wish to call that murder then so be it.  Return the Counselor and I to the Paula Greene and get someone else to do your dirty work.  ::Puts the fork down::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Grins:: CTO: Touched a nerve, have I?

Tsalea says:
::Tilts her head::  COMM:  Selan:  You are well.  I was... concerned.  However, you appear tense.  Is all well?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::approaches his wife from behind, and wraps his arms around her::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Quickly packs the nominal things she will need for the journey home and no more::

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: There is little point to your attempts to antagonize the CTO. Her actions, in any situation, are not yours to judge.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: You may call what I did murder, but at least I don't go meddling in the future of the universe and kidnap people against their will.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<CTO-Selan> % COM: T'salea: As well as it usually is, Sur and K'Rass have kidnapped the Captain and are threatening to kill her if we don't meet them at a certain place at a certain time.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::scans the area::

Tsalea says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  COMM:  Selan:  I know of no ship that has its captain kidnapped as often as the Scorpius.  I thought K'Rass was dealt with.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns her around for a second, and lightly kisses her:: CMO : I wish you didn't have to go...

Host The_Vulcan says:
<CTO-Selan> % COM: T'salea: He has a habit of showing up when least expected ...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CMO : But i know.. :taps her head with his finger a couple of times:: I've been there, remember?

Host CO_Madred says:
::wonders just where his number one has gotten off to::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::wonders when the XO will be up here::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CNS: Your Command nearly had her put on trial themselves for unauthorized use of lethal force, but ah, that's a story for another time. ::Stands up and brushes himself off::

Host CO_Madred says:
::cross his legs ... then his arms ... taps his foot impatiently watching the Romulan Warbird on the screen:: FCO: Status?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Slips her arms around him::  XO: I know...

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # ::His crew comes up with something:: COM: PG: Paula Greene, this is Commander Jaxtrick.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::smiles lightly:: CMO : Hey... I'll be fine.. ::tries to mask his feelings, as not to make it harder on her::

Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Rommies: Go ahead...

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: Enough for your views of our actions. Obviously, they don't bother you enough to keep you from wanting us in your... mmm... service?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Holding station behind the Warbird, sir

Tsalea says:
COMM: Selan:  In deed.  Perhaps you might find an end to his continual appearances.  I have called concerning not only your well being, but of the discovery of Shinar aboard the USS Paula Greene.  I have not had an opportunity to inform all my friends, but that is were my husband and I are currently stationed.

Host CO_Madred says:
CSO: Has turning on the sensors given us any clearer of a picture here?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CMO : Besides.. We'll be in touch... ~~~Auri : Remember?~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
@Vulcan: So, why don't we put the past behind us, and figure out what it is you expect from us in the here and now?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Still trying, sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Yes, you wouldn't want me to start murdering all your "chosen" ones now would you?  I think you should just forget about us and send us back to the Paula Greene.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: The data you have given us suggests that these beings wish to start an intergalactic war between major powers. It is feared they may attempt to assault Romulus with their newly acquired Klingon weapons ...

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CSO: Keep on it... CEO: Suggestions for boosting our range, Lieutenant?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<CTO-Selan> % ::He pales:: COM: T'salea: S-Shinar? How ... is everyone all right over there?!

CMO_Biishe says:
::Reaches up to brush aside his hair gently::  XO:  Yes, I know... you are forever apart of me.  ::Closes her eyes, memorizing the moment.::  And you will be fine as well.

CEO_Hull says:
CO:  Working on it Sir, If I boost anymore, we might blow the entire navigational array.....

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Quirks the side of his mouth:: CTO: No, I think you should stay  around  for a bit ... things are getting interesting.

Host CO_Madred says:
::grunts:: CEO: Then use the lateral array ... or the forward array ... I don't care how many different arrays you tie in, I want our crewmen found.

Tsalea says:
COMM: Selan:  I have just arrived and it was a most... disturbing experience.  He wears your form and at first, acknowledged he was you.  But his eyes told otherwise.  He says he has been assigned here by Starfleet council.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: Aren't you afraid I will freak out and start murdering your chosen ones?  I'd be very afraid of that if I were you.  I wouldn't trust me at all.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::takes a deep breath:: CMO : I have to go... ::points to the uniform hanging ready on the closet:: I've been away for too long... ::pauses for a second:: You should have woken me up for Jafo and Tsalea's arrival..

Host The_Vulcan says:
<CTO-Selan> % ::Looks away for a moment, then back at T'salea, obviously more distressed:: COM: T'salea: T'salea ... I ... there is nothing I can do about this now. We are coming close to the location Sur & K'Rass specified. If and when we deal with this, I will try to come to the PG and make sense of this ... but for the time being, be careful.

CEO_Hull says:
CO:  Understood Sir ::Cuts in all available sensor arrays, and boosts the gain on everyone to the redline::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Steps back with a smile::  XO:  You needed to heal naturally.  I still don't know what caused the high favor, but you needed the rest.

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: I'm quite sure some of those children out there could deal with you quickly if you posed a threat. ::Begins to exit the dining room::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Makes a brushing motion::  XO:  Off with you.  I will be back as soon as I have taken care of things.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Stands and follows the Vulcan out of the dining room::  Vulcan: I wouldn't be so sure of that if I were you.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::rolls eyes:: CMO : Well... I guess i will have to embarrass the new Captain on the bridge now.. ::smiles, and starts putting on his uniform::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ CTO: Well then, how about you attack them and find out, Lieutenant?

Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Romulans: I see ... then we might want to hurry and catch them before they do so. What do you think?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::starts to speak, but stands and follows after::

Tsalea says:
COMM:  Selan:  Of course.  I ask of you as well, to be careful.  I look forward to seeing you.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Vulcan: In due time, I just might do that.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: I would hold back your sarcasm, Captain. We can easily have you expelled back to your space.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<CTO-Selan>  % ::Nods and closes the comm. channel::

CMO_Biishe says:
XO:  He seems... different from how you described him.  More... mellow I think would be the word.

Host CO_Madred says:

<Computer> T'salea: Note, transmission to Department of Temporal Investigations is recommended against due to presence in Romulan space and threat of message interception.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::grins:: CO : I'm glad you remembered.. ::paces rapidly around the railing to the center chair::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances back at the Exec and stands from his chair:: XO: Commander, I don't know about on the Paula Greene ... but at Starbase 366 we still got up for duty on time. ::smiles and goes to take his friends hand::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CSO: Where?

Tsalea says:
Computer:  As soon as we are cleared of this area, put a call in and inform me.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::gulps::  FCO: Looks like the Romulans were right, sir.  ::looks at Madred, nodding knowingly::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Gestures and the front doors open telekinetically, outside practically the entire populace of the town has gathered::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Computer> T'salea: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods back at van den Broek:: CSO: Understood ... start scanning in that direction. I want to get there before they open fire.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::taking his hand, he pull it, grabbing the tall human on a hug:: CO : It's been too long, my friend... As for waking up.. Well... We all have your bad days..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::wonders how we can get more speed out of this barge::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Walks out:: ALL: Please welcome our newest additions to our family, Tari Richardson and Sarina Ryan.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches as the doors open and notices a lot of people gathered outside. Moves towards the door::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Yes, sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CSO: How close are they to the Planet now?

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods and hugs the XO back:: XO: We may have a situation on Romulus...

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Hears the Vulcan's announcement then looks at the CNS and raises an eyebrow::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods, retiring from the hug:: CO : They allowed us free entry?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
FCO: Unable to determine, sir.  I'm only just picking up the trail.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::catches the CTO's eye, and shrugs, very slightly, before turning to survey the group of people::

Host CO_Madred says:
::mutters:: XO: More or less...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Perhaps we should tell the Romulans what we have, they can send word ahead

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: CO : We have.. Company?

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: It was there idea, Lieutenant. We're only confirming what they have already told us.

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, the Triona Bird of Prey has come into orbit of Romulus ... and have to constantly move in fear of being detected by the Romulans.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: XO: Warbird ... and a sweet lovable Romulan Commander to boot.

Tsalea says:
Computer:  Put a call through to Admiral Alexander.  Inform me when she has been contacted.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Computer> T'salea: Acknowledged.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::sends what data they have to the Warbird ::

Tsalea says:
::Stands::  Stuart:  I require you to complete the unpacking of our things as the arrive.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CO : Just perfect... Have you read the info on the Triona? We'll have our hands full with them..

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Alpha> % ::Walks toward the viewscreen:: I wonder why worlds in this universe do not have any different shapes.

Tsalea says:
Larte:  Remain here to assist.  Take care of Ya'li and Harmony as well.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Prime> % ::Scratches his bald, blue, fake head:: Perhaps the creators of the universe were not that ... creative?

Tsalea says:
::Lifts a hand to forestall her daughters objections.::

Host CO_Madred says:
::waves to the second seat:: XO: No doubt...

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Omega> % Both: It is insignificant. We have a job to do here ... this world will begin our odyssey of knowledge.

CMO_Biishe says:
*FCO*:  I am ready to leave as soon as you can give me the clearance.  I know... when we slow down.  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Madred says:
TO: I want to go in weapons hot, Ensign... XO: We think they are going to attack Romulus itself. Perhaps Remus.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Alpha> % Omega: Well said. This is the only way we can find our place in the universe. Prime: Are the weapons prepared?

CMO_Biishe says:
::leans back and closes her eyes, thinking of home.::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CMO* It may be some time, Doctor

Tsalea says:
::Leaves her quarters and heads for the bridge::

TO_Eldad says:
::Nods at the CO:: CO: Aye sir, all ready.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::sits down:: CO : I'm sorry for not being there to greet you... I has asked Aurora to wake me up... ::frowns:: CO : With the weapons they stole, they certainly have the firepower... But.. They would need more than one ship to use the full firepower they hijacked...

CEO_Hull says:
::Ties in impulse power to the EPS power grid::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Prime> % Both: Yes, they are.

CMO_Biishe says:
*FCO*:  Understood.

TO_Eldad says:
::Quickly checks his console before starting the routine of powering up the phaser banks and loading the photon torpedoes::

Host CO_Madred says:
::without looking at Tealk:: XO: That depends on how quick the response is. CSO: Any sign of multiple vessels or ion trails?

Tsalea says:
Computer:  Bridge.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: no, sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
TO: How about from you?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::still trying to find out where on earth this is all going to::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : We might want to warn our Romulan "friends" about that possibility?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: I'm just getting the one right now.

Host CO_Madred says:
::mutters:: XO: You handle it, I'm sick of talking to them.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Omega> % ::Her console beeps:: Alpha: We have a problem.

Tsalea says:
::Steps from the TL onto the bridge, her eyes quickly taking in everything.::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Alpha> % ::Turns:: Omega: What is it?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Omega>  % ::Gestures at the viewscreen:: Them.

Host CO_Madred says:
::sees Tsalea on the bridge and points at a tertiary console::

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: Two Romulan Warbirds bare down on the cloaked Bird of Prey, having detected them.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::grins:: CO : I see that Aurora was right... Family life has certainly changed you, my friend... ::turns back:: TO : Open a channel to the Romulan Warbird..

Tsalea says:
::Tilts her head and walks over to it, keying in her command codes.::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I plan to enter orbit of the planet "hot"

Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns:: XO: And remind them that we need these vessels intact.

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: In an instant, the Warbirds let loose a barrage of torpedo fire ... destroying the Bird of Prey, and seemingly its inhabitants.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns back to see Tsalea, and smiles wide, winking at her::

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: Understood, pilot...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: ETA: Ten Minutes

Tsalea says:
::Catches Tealk out of the corner of her eye and turns, nodding gently to him.::

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, back on the Vulcan's world, his people gather around  the CNS & CTO, properly "welcoming" them to the fold with hugs and shaking of hands.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::grins, but only for a second, as he pipes it, and turns to the screen to tgreet the Romulans::

Host CO_Madred says:
::fidgets in his chair:: CSO: I don't suppose there is any sign of teh CNS or CTO on Romulus or Remus?

TO_Eldad says:
::Looks nervously at the viewscreen, waiting for any commands::

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;feels a little overwhelmed by the hugs, and tries to step back, separating herself from them::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Gets hugged by strangers but doesn't return the gesture::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Smiles at the image of his family::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::watches the timer on the boards ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COM: Warbird : This is Commander Amendoeira of the USS Paula Greene...

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: No, sir.  Nothing.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: Is there something I can help you with, Commander?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::catches a look at the Vulcan's self-satisfied grin, and frowns to herself::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::looks to the CEO ::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Now amongst the crowd. He stares at the CTO coldly ... just waiting for the chance to finish the job::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Makes her way over to the CNS and whispers:: CNS: Go along with it for now.  Maybe we can find out more information and form a plan to dissolve this group.

Tsalea says:
::Goes through the ships crew manifest and all records they have on Shinar.::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COM Jaxtrick : Actually, there might be something we can do to help you... The shipment of weapons that was stolen by this ship was big enough to arm 3 or 4 ships.. You might want to be on the lookout for more than one ship...

CNS_Richardson says:
@::nods:: CTO: Not a bad idea; I'm not crazy about leaving the children here, in his control ::spoken in a whisper::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Feels a strange sense someone is staring at her and looks around the crowd::

Host CO_Madred says:
::sees the look on the FCO's face:: FCO: What is it, O'Rourke?

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: We'll keep that in mind, Cmdr. ... wait, one second, we're getting a report from Romulus ...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods, and waits::

Tsalea says:
::Notes the number of times that Shinar has been to the brig and the interactions recorded by the counselor and CMO, but finds little else.::

TO_Eldad says:
::Glances at the CEO for a moment::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::starts returning the greetings of those welcoming her, studying them as she shakes hands and tries to avoid returning hugs::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Feels anger welling up inside her and whispers to the CNS:: CNS: Skyler is out amongst the crowd.  He wants to have another go around with me.  I'm going to go look for him and we can finish this once and for all.  ::Leaves the CNS and moves through the crowd, looking for Skyler::

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: No... ::tries to grab for her, but she's gone..::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Frowns as he sees the CTO going after Skyler::

TO_Eldad says:
::Scratches his head in confusion and the turns to look at the FCO, he turns away with a shrug::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Grins as the CTO approaches::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Begins to move through the crowd to meet her::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::spots Ryan, and tries to extricate herself from an enthusiastic hug, so she can follow::

Host CO_Madred says:
::expectantly:: FCO: Is there a problem, O'Rourke?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Spots Skyler and makes her way over to him::  Skyler: So you want to finish this or what?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::paces the room in front of the viewscreen, waiting for the Romlan Commander::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ CTO: Definitely.

CEO_Hull says:
CO:  Sir, the strain on the engines, she wont take much more of this

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: From the looks of things, we may be at the point to consider a replacement core

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: ETA - 4 Minutes

CNS_Richardson says:
@::manages to get free, and sets off towards the CTO and Skyler::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Removes her uniform jacket and grins, staring at Skyler:: Skyler: Very well, let's do it.  ::Tosses her jacket on the ground and takes a defensive stance, bending her knees slightly::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: FCO : You don't know our CEO, do you O’Rourke? He can perform miracles in his department..

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Side steps slowly around Skyler, her eyes staring straight into his::

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: The crowd begins to pull away as Skyler and CTO meet up.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Yes , sir, but I am sure he doesn't like to do miracles

CEO_Hull says:
::Looks over at the XO after hearing the comment::

Host CO_Madred says:
::raises an eyebrow and glances at the XO:: XO: Exec, I hope I'm not getting a ship that is *that* fragile.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Does the same as the CTO, enjoying every moment::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::winks at the CEO:: FCO : Relax.. I'm sure Mr. hull has things well in hand..

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Flinches a little, towards Skyler, teasing him while moving slowly to the side::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: CO : No sir.. She's just... Special...

CNS_Richardson says:
@::finally makes her way through the crowd, and stops at the edge of the watching circle::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: I think I'm getting a stronger trail, sir.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: PG: Romulus has confirmed that they destroyed a Klingon Bird of Prey in orbit.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::hisses:: CTO: I don't think this is the time or place...

CEO_Hull says:
::Opens the Bussard ram scoop collector for additional deuterium::

Host CO_Madred says:
::excitedly:: CSO: Do tell?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Well, it's not degrading any more.  Maybe we're catching up?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::starts calculating  the orbital insertion parameters::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Hears the CNS:: CNS: Not at all, Counselor, I think it's the perfect time and place!  ::Suddenly jumps into the air, kicking Skyler under the chin::  Agh!

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Going for orbit and dropping out of Warp

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::initiates::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Takes the kick, grabs the CTO by the leg and swings her around, hurling her at a nearby building fifteen feet away::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods at the CSO:: CSO/TO: Intensify your scans...

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: CRASH! The CTO hits the side of the building.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Yes, sir  ::does so::

Host CO_Madred says:
::was about to get up ... but waits till they drop from warp ... stands and puts his hands on his hips, waiting for word of a contact:: TO: Shields...

CNS_Richardson says:
@::watches, shaking her head::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Walks forward:: ALL: That is enough!

Tsalea says:
::Turns from her station to look out at the screen::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Sir, I'm reading Klingon debris particles.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Lands against the building, slightly dazed for a couple of seconds then regains her composure and stands.  Smiles and dusts herself off and moves back towards Skyler grinning:: Skyler: Not bad, not bad....

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns to the screen:: COM : Jaxtrick : Commander.. I would advise you use extreme caution with these robots.. From what we know of them, they have successfully used stealth and deceit before.. I wouldn't put it past them to have miraculously survived somehow..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::flies his hands over the board playing it as if it was an old fashioned synthesizer ::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Rubs his chin for a moment:: CTO: I thought I trained you better than that ...

CMO_Biishe says:
::As she waits, her thoughts turn to the Vulcan and what he could do and her children and how much she wants them back the way they were.::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Cmdr. Jaxtrick> # COM: XO: And I would not underestimate the abilities of the Romulan Empire, Starfleeter.

Host CO_Madred says:
::mutters to self:: Self: You gotta be kidding me... FCO: Take us in close to the debris field. CEO: Beam some of it aboard.... CSO/CEO: I want you to analyzing it immediately.

TO_Eldad says:
::Nods at the Captain's direction:: CO: Aye sir

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Anything in particular, sir?

TO_Eldad says:
::Brings up the shields, watching the readings as they raise::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Yes sir,

Host CO_Madred says:
CSO: In particular? Yes ... anything.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: We will be near in 2 minutes

Tsalea says:
::Turns back to read the initial scans coming in.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Flexes her arms a bit and regains her stance:: Skyler: Let's see what else you got, shall we?  ::Jumps up, spinning, her leg coming around and hitting him on the side of his face with her foot::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO : Scan for any radioactive debris.. If the Triona where indeed destroyed, they'll leave radioactive residue behind that should be strong enough for us to pick it up..

CEO_Hull says:
::Throws the magnetic dampers on the warp core, slowing the reaction down to generation power for orbital insertion::

Host CO_Madred says:
TO: Any sign of a second vessel? They might have moved the weapons to another ship.

TO_Eldad says:
::Watches a change in the LRS, he zooms on the small viewscreen:: CO: Captain, I'm detecting Several Romulan Warbirds in the area.

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Takes the kick, then as she comes down, hits her clear in the stomach::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Reaches for husbands strength as the desire is almost to strong::

Host The_Vulcan says:
ACTION: CRACK! A rib is instantly broken and the CTO is forced by Skyler's genetically enhanced strength.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::wonders why some think they have brakes on a starship::

Host CO_Madred says:
::shrugs at the TO and glances at the XO:: TO: In orbit of Romulus, I would expect no less...

TO_Eldad says:
::Grins and then looks away::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::tries to catch the Vulcan's eye over the crowd, to see if he intends to let this continue::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Takes the punch to her stomach and hears a couple of ribs crack::  Agghh!  ::Grabs her ribs as she glares into his eyes::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: ~~~Auri : Aurora.. Don't... You know it would be wrong... And you know where you'd end up...~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns serious as he starts talking to his wife::

Host The_Vulcan says:
@ ::Considers stopping the fight, but decides this has to be done::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Gets angry and "wills" him to be flung backwards into the building::

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks over towards the XO:: Exec: They've gotta have planetary sensors right ... a record of what happened here. I think they'd notice a ship blowing up in orbit.

TO_Eldad says:
CO: Anyway, there is no second ship, Sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I think we have more company here than we see, Sir

Tsalea says:
CO:  There are no signatures here.  It is possible the weapons have been destroyed.  Further analysis is required.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Stands straight up slowly, bearing the pain in her ribs::

Host The_Vulcan says:
<Skyler> @ ::Nothing happens this time, and Skyler removes a blade:: Let's finish this ... ::Moves forward to make the final stab::
