::in one of the holosuites aboard the Starbase514::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Exits the Cataria after an eighteen hour shift.::  Self: What a mess.  ::Looks over the list on the PADD as he walks.::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: In her quarters.  It is quiet with Gladwyn spending some time with her uncle this morning.::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Computer: Render one standard Intrepid class corridor, place one Vroa target 30m away.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: In the kitchenette making breakfast.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Stops looking out at the outer hull from the docking ring slightly dusting off his lab coat.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks out of the bedroom, dressed and ready to start the day::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up with smile::  CO:  Do you have a preference for breakfast?
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Computer: Render one TR-116 and in thirty seconds have the Vroa target charge in my direction. Start countdown.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Strolling through the corridors of Starbase 514::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::grabs the freshly rendered rifle and takes aim at the Vroa target at the end of the corridor::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks up and kisses his wife::  CMO: Just some coffee and toast.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Watches as several work bees remove the port nacelle.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Places apple juice before the children who are quietly crunching on cereal.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns toward the counter and pours him his coffee.  Handing it to him the way he prefers it, she then turns to make some toast.::
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
::In their quarter, walks out of the bedroom and sees Eris and smiles.::  Clay CSO:  Morning.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::takes a sip:: CMO: Perfect as always.
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Stands up::  CNS:  I have a surprise for you.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::In his quarters on the starbase, kicked back in an easy chair, treating the leave essentially as a stay at a hotel::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  After all these years I hope so.  Do we have any plans for the day?
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::as the beep sounds, the Vroa target starts moving. He takes aim and starts trying to fire wounding shots at the Vroa's limbs::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sits in her quarters, drinking her hot tea and eating some breakfast::
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
CSO:  Well I do love surprises.  ::Grins::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
Seated at a desk in one of the station's science labs. A small pile of PADDs near her hand.
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Grabbing her jacket, she heads for the door.::  CNS: Well... I am hoping this is a good surprise, and we are running late.  ::points to the table.::  Breakfast on the run.::
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
::Quickly grabs some fruit from the table and follows Senn out the door.::
Host SMLea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>::Steps off the Claymore and onto Starbase 514, glancing around briefly before continuing toward the station's promenade::
Host SMLea says:
on that last one.
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: As they exit, she enters the lift, waiting just long for him to step in before ordering it to the shuttle bay.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Watch the bees move the nacelle and pylon to the bay then turns from the window.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Moves down a corridor toward the turbolift and steps inside, ordering it to the VIP quarters::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Computer: Pause ::checks the target for damange and isn't satisfied with the damage:: Reset
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Walks down the corridor to the lift.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Appraoches the station holosuite and checks its status::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Walks onto the deck of  SB514, with bag on shoulder, surveying the station's docking area before evnturing further.::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Picks up her hot tea and walks over to the window, looking out as she holds the warm cup in her hand::
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
::As the lift begins to move he looks over at Eris.::  Clay CSO:  We going for somewhere?
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
CNS:  Yes... a treasure hunt.  With hopefully a treasure to be found.  :: As the lift stops, she steps off.::  I was able to get permission to use a shuttle.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Enters the lift.::  TL: Engineering Level 3
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Puts his PADD down on the end table, downs a glass of water, and stands to go to the mirror, carefully affixing his pips and combadge::
Host SMLea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>::Exits the lift and moves down the corridor, slowing only once she's reached the area, then checks the marker on each door as she goes::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Leans against the wall as the lift moves.::
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
::Follows out of the lift toward the shuttle bay, curious as to what kind of treasure they were looking for.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Placing his toast on the table, she takes a seat across from her husband to eat her bowl of fruit and oatmeal.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Enters a command to open the holosuite doors and steps within, allowing the doors to close behind her. Folds her arms, watching::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::keeps practising until he's statisfied he can deliver enough firepower to cripple a Vroa's legs::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Looking for the Claymore shuttle, she spots it.  Then locating the deck officer, she goes to quietly talk with him and sign out the shuttle.::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::On the promenade, looking for a place to get a quick drink before hitting the gym.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>XO: Nice work.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Finishes her drink she walks over to the table and picks up the empty plate, taking it back over to the replicator::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Looks up as the doors open to the Stations Engineering.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Rings the chime on T'Shara's door::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Computer: Pause ::turns on the feet to face Light:: Commander: Practise makes perfect.
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
::Waits as Senn signs out the shuttle, then walks with her toward it.::  Clay CSO:  So what kind of treasure are we looking for?
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::slings his weapons:: Commander: So what can I do for you considering you managed to get into what I thought was a sealed suite.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::picks up one of the PADDs and reads over the data then turns back to the simulation running on the lab's computer system::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Turning with a cautious grin toward Theron, she takes a deep breath.::  CNS: OK, We are set.  You want to fly or take sensors?  :: does not answer his question just yet.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Strolls toward him, but curves off, circling the crippled Vroa body, a mixture of emotions flickering behind an otherwise staid expression, saying nothing for the moment as she keeps her eyes trained on the creature's body::
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns around as the items vanish::  Outloud: Come.
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
::Smiles.::  Clay CSO:  Well since you know what we are looking for guess you should be on sesnors.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::keeps his eyes on Light and avoids having her out of his sight for any moment::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Walks out into the Station Engineering.::  Outloud:  I have a new set of requisitions for the Cataria and an update to the priority punch list.  ::Waves the PADD in his hand.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::As the doors open for her, she steps within T'Shara's room. Although the quarters are different - on a station instead of on the Claymore - she still can't help but be reminded of the last time she was in a room belonging to T'Shara - and was summarily and physically thrown out:: CO: Captain.   ::Nods, with a slight smile::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
<SB514_Engineer_Jones>  CEO: I'll take that sir.  ::Stands and walks over to McQuade.::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: At the shuttle, she enters the locking code.  As soon as the doors slide open, she steps aboard, heading for the cock pit.::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::humms slightly as she adds two variables to the simulation.::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::At a replimat, drinking a Vulcan tea blend with a hint of caynne.::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Strolls out of his quarters and shortly, into a turbolift, asking for the some deck and section or another::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>XO: Oh, I was just checking in on you.  ::Eyes finally rise from the Vroa to Conor's face, and she smiles pleasantly::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::smiles:: Light: And what have I done to deserve that pleasure then.
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Tucking her bag under her seat, she takes the co-pilot seat.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Hands Jones the PADD.::  Jones: We found two more relays that need replacing on deck 12 and a few more moble SIF generators would be helpful.  We had some problems working on the port nacelle pylon.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Doctor.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: How are you?  Enjoying your shoreleave?
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Pulls a PADD from her small gym bag. Glances at it and takes another sip of her tea.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
<SB514_Engineer_Jones> CEO: Understood sir.  ::Looks over the PADD.:: I'll get this processed and the SIF generators down to the Cataria shortly.  Do you want to be informed when it arrives?
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>XO: Oh, I don't know.  ::Continues her circling:: How about pinging the manifest of every ship on my record, every officer I may have served with, every place I've ever been - that you have record of.  ::Stops:: Looking for something, Commander?
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
::Taking the pilot's seat, he quickly goes through the prestart before firing up the shuttle then requests permission to debark, upon recieving it he slips the shuttle out of the bay and into space.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Jones:  No.  I might try to get some sleep.  The teams know what the priority is down there.  ::Smiles and turns back to the Lift.::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::watches the electrical current runs through the simulated ship. She frowns at the results and resets.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
<SB514_Engineer_Jones> CEO:  Get some rest then.  I'll keep tabs of the repairs and have an update transfered to your quarters.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Raises a breath, then her expression softens suddenly, a momentary almost whimsy crossing her face:: CO: --Yes, actually. After a bit of a rough start.  It's good to have some downtime.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: Don't feel special Commander, I do the same for everyone who ends up on one of my ships. I just like to know who I'm serving with.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Jones: Thanks.  ::Enters the lift.::  TL: Level 10.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Looks over the PADD again. It has the repair schedule and requistions for the Cataria. Doublechecks her requests for the extra supply of torpedoes.::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
# :: Turns slightly::  CNS:  OK... no promises.  But, I got permission from the captain to do a search of personel items to recover.  Specifically, I wanted to recover your trombone, but offered to gather other items that we will drop off into a kind of lost and found station.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks into the room more and away from the replicator and nods::  CMO: I'm sue you had your hands full at first with the injured and such.  But, I hear most are recovering nicely.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Finishes her tea and heads for the gym.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Smiles ingratiatingly:: XO: Sure, you track the comm records of everyone to a fifth degree of separation for every member of your crew.  You must not get much sleep, Commander. Or any at all. ::Drops her arms to fold her hands behind her back::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Enters a rather nondescript restaurant storefront and greets a well-attired human at the storefront::  Human:  Mister Kotoldis?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::reaches over and picks up a mug she tries to sip only to find it empty. She drops the mug back where it had been and picks up another PADD::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Walks out into the busy corridor.  Pauses briefly looking around at all the activity.::
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
#::Looks over at her.::  CSO:  You really think we'll be able to find much?  ::Turns back to his console and plots a course to the area where the ships were in combat.::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
<Kotoldis>  ::Smiles broadly::  Clay_CTO:  You must be Lieutenant Commander Damrok.  Pleased to meet you.  ::Extends a hand::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Gives Kotoldis' hand a firm shake::  Kotoldis:  Shall we get down to business?
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: I'm not sure if you are aware but you can ask the computer these questions and it will go fetch all this data for you. You don't need to stay up all night compiling it manually.
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
#CNS:  Why not?  The stuff was not basically sucked out into the vaccum of space.  Most of it is small... :: shrugs::  but as I said, no promisies.  But thought we could try.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods:: Clay_CO: Sickbay is essentially empty now.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
<Kotoldis>  Clay_CTO:  Of course, of course.  Come inside.  Have you made any firm decisions?  ::Leads his way inside the restaurant, back toward an office::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>XO: Certainly, but for that to have any meaning, eventually you have to review it. That's man-hours. Times...how many are aboard the Andromeda? Seven hundred and fifty?  Plus new transfers at each stop.
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
#::Moves the shuttle into the area of the fighting before looking over at her.::  CSO:  Thank you for at least trying, now where shall we begin?
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
<delete -not>
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
:::Moves across the open area picking out a small open cafe.::
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  Clay_CMO: That is good to hear.  ::Motions for her to have a seat::  Please make yourself comfortable.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Steps into the gym, noticing how empty it was. Good. Now she could workout i n peace. Especially with how hard she trained, she wouldn't want anyone around to hear her grunting.::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Has a seat in the office, taking out a small PADD::  Kotoldis:  I don't have a firm headcount yet, but I'm expecting around twenty-five.  We'll plan with that in mind.  All of my menu selections are listed.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: I've gotten it down to a fine art at this stage. I know my crew better then they know themselves. Although I find it rather interesting you've got the infrastructure in place to know when someone does research on your past.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Pulls out several PADDs placing them on an open table before slumping into the chair.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods, and kind of settles into one of T'Shara's chairs:: CO: Thank you.  There's...something I'd like to update you on, Captain, but no time has even seemed right.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: It's an interesting card to reveal, you may have been better off saying nothing instead.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: A day at home.  Both the doctor in her and the wife and mother are glad of the choice to just stay home.  They all needed the time to heal.::  CO:  I am going to invite Varesh and Aaron to join us for lunch later.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Orders a coffee then begins looking over the information on the PADDs.::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
# CNS:  I have drawn out a map of the general area of where the Claymore was, when your deck was struck and a general blast pattern.  Sooo... I would suggest here as our first spot and work along this grid pattern.  The sensors should be more then adaquite for this.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Raises an eyebrow:: XO: It's hardly a "reveal," unless your Captain didn't share the fact that I informed him of the work I did for Intel...most than once. Hardly surprising that they'd notify me when someone started poking...::bites her tongue, reconsidering her coming words::...through my record.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
<Kotoldis>  ::Takes a glance over the PADD once, holding it at a slight distance as he strokes his moustache::  Clay_CTO:  Yes, very good, I see.  Very good.  We will be happy to provide everything you need.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::looks at the simulation running again humming tunelessly. Her fingers working on one of the PADDs::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Kotoldis:  Then it's settled.  Thank you very much, Mister Kotoldis.  ::Stands, without ceremony, and after another handshake, makes his way out the door and out of the restaurant::
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
:Takes a seat as well, but starts to stand again::  CMO: I am sorry Raeyld could I get you something. ::Pauses and glances down at Raeyld::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles mildly:: Clay_CO: Some water, please.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: And quite the interesting record it is. Makes for exciting reading you know, how does it feel to be a sole survivor of so many ship destructions? You've seen more destruction in the last 5 years then most do in the entire careers.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Swings by the turbolifts, and finding one ready, enters and heads back toward the VIP quarters section::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
# :: As they close in on the area, she activates sensors.::  CNS:  I guess for the most part, we can just beam things aboard.
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
#::Nods and moves the shuttle to the start of her grid pattern.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Shrugs:: XO: I have a penchant for survival.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Bows her head and walks over to the replicator and orders a water.  Picks up the glass and walks back toward Raeyld, handing her the glass::  CMO: So what did you want to talk to me about.  ::takes her seat again::  I hope nothing is wrong.
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
#CSO:  Would imagine that would be easier than trying to pinpoint what each item is and if it was still in one piece via the sensors.
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
# :: smiles wistfully.::  CNS:  It is a shame Fong is not here.  He would appreciate such an operation.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::After changing into lighter workout gear, begins to stretch.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
Clay_CO: There is a child...who was motherless...and is now fatherless - because of me.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Crosses her legs and looks at Raeyld::  CMO: Just what?
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes the glass, and pauses to take a drink - her throat has grown a bit dry:: CO: Not wrong, in that sense. It's just...
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Sighs, then taps his comm badge as the coffee arrives.::  *XO*: Commander Conor do you have a minute?
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: Good for you then. Was there a point to this or do you just want to make sure I know you are aware I'm doing research?
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Exits the turbolifts and walks some number of doors down before finally reaching his destination, and rings the chime of T'Shara's quarters::
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
#CSO:  Never really got a chance to get to know him before he left.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::looks at the images scrolling through one of the padds.:: Computer: How many crew are over eight feet tall?
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light> XO: I'd just like to point out that if you have questions, Commander, you've best of asking them of me. You're not going to find anything interesting in my record or contacts.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::folds his arms:: Light: Very well Commander, how did you end up working for Kensington then?
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: I see....  Because of you?
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Hears the chime again and looks up::  Come.
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
# CNS: No... he was a hard man to get to know in the first place.  I understand there was some family issues that required him to take a long leave of absence.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light> XO: I was assigned to him. He handles delicate diplomatic work as well as administration of complex situations, and my skill set was considered useful to support his endeavors.  ::Points to his commbadge:: I believe you have a call::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Takes a sip of coffee while he waits for Commander Conor to reply.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Go ahead
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Enters the quarters, stopping just far enough inside to allow the doors to close::  Clay_CO:  Captain -- Clay_CMO:  -- and Commander.  I apologize.  I hope this is not a bad time.  ::Smiles apologetically::
Clay_CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
# CNS:  First items on sensors... nothing reading as explosive.  Getting a lock... beaming aboard.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
*XO*: I've returned from a long shift on the Cataria.  I've got the latest punch list of repair items, but I have something I wanted to show you personally.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
Clay_CO: Yes, I--  ::Pauses, as she looks to the door::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: And what is that skillset
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Let me know where you are and I'll be there shortly.
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
#CSO:  Perhaps I'll get a chance to get to know him someday.  ::Glances back at the transporter padd as the first items are beamed over.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
*XO*: Level 10, Cafe Italia.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks at Damrok and then to Raeyld::  Clay_CTO: No apology necessary Commander.  We were just talking......
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles to Damrok::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Understood, I'll be there shortly. Power out. ::taps his comm badge::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Looks down at the PADDs while sipping the hot coffee.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>XO: A near eiditic memory, a mind for complex situations, the ability to ensure a project progresses smoothly to its goal, and certain powers of persuation.   My minor medical skills were considered a boon as well, given the Admiral's health difficulties.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CO/Clay_CMO:  Captain, I came to inform you of an invitation, but since you are both here, that will reduce my workload.  ::Smiles::  In three days time -- 1800 hours -- I am hosting a dinner party in one of the common rooms.  I would be quite pleased if you were both able to attend.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Light: Then maybe my typical paranoia is not justified then. Only time will tell. Now if you'll excuse me I have some ship matters to attend to.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Smiles slightly and nods::  Clay_CTO:  I would be happy to attend thank you Commander.  What is the occasion?
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Quite respectfully nods and steps aside:: XO: Of course, Commander.
Clay_CNS_LtJG_Foster says:
#::Moves back to the transporter padd and begins removing items from the padd to clear room for more.  Some of it looked to be too damaged to keep but they could sort through it later.::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::clears the simulation and adds a layer of charged monowire fillimant at the height of 7 meters.::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CO:  None in particular, Captain.  ::Folds his hands behind his back and smiles::  Other than I do not know when the occasion will present itself again.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Taps the PADD zooming into one ofthe subsystems.::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Warms up with a few light reps on the bech press.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Computer: End program ::makes his way out from the holodeck::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
CTO: It sounds very nice, Commander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::steps into the nearest TL:: TL: Deck 10
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Takes another sip of coffee while exploring the detailed damage reports.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::steps out onto deck 10 and makes his way towards the cafe::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Sits up after her warm up and wipes sweat off with her towel.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::takes a seat at the CEOs table:: CEO: You rang?
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods, raising an eyebrow.::  Clay_CTO: Aye, when do we have the time otherwise.  ::smiles slightly::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CO/Clay_CMO:  I hope to see you there, but I understand if you have other committments on such short notice.  Please do not feel obligated to attend.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Brings up the data on the warp core.::  Self: Bloody hell...  ::Pauses and looks across the table,::  XO: Glad you could join me sure.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Slides one of the PADDs across the table.::  XO:  There is our current report.  Things are moving along.  They just removed the port side nacelle and pylon.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks at Raeyld and then to Damrok::  Clay_CTO: I have no other commitments.  I would be happy to be there.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles:: CTO: As would I.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::picks up the PADD and starts reading it:: CEO: Now I know its been a while since I had a CEO role but I'm pretty sure we need both of those things,#
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
CTO: What sort of dress would be appropriate?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Slowly puts his hand in his pocket pulling out a cloth wrapped metalic object.  Setting it carefully on the table.::   XO:  Yes both are needed, but the damage to the supports were to great to repair internally.  So we opted to remove them to make repairs.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Slides the object over to Conor.::  XO:  This is what I wanted to show you.  ::Pats the object.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::looks down on the object on the desk:: CEO: Doesn't look like a standard fitting aboard a SF ship
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::carefully picks it up and examines it::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO:  Well it is.  But its been highly modified.  ::Looks around the room a bit.::  I didn't tell anyone on board when I found it,  but they knew our systems inside and out.  This kind of modifications only can happen from someone who knows what they are doing.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Modified to do what?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: This is how they took over our ENV systems.  It completely bypassed all our internal codes.  Security, priority codes, shutdowns,  you name it.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: It even took down secondary subsystems.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CEO: Can you tell when it was installed? Did the Vroa bring it with them or was this sitting and waiting for someone to activate it?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO:  This wasn't something they brought with them.  They modified this in the field.  While onboard the Cataria.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO:  Its are own god damn tech sir.  Just modified to give them total control.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: So you are telling me within a one hour window where they potentially beamed aboard, they were able to reconfigure our own relay systems to bypass our security completely?
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CMO:  Formal wear would be entirely appropriate, but it is not black tie by any stretch.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: Not completely.  They managed it on a smaller scale.  IE the ENV systems.  I have found nothing that suggests this on a wider scale.  Major systems are clean.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: But thats not to say they couldn't do it on other systems.
Host SMLea says:
::Nods:: Clay_CTO: Understood. ::Smiles and looks to T'Shara::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::puts the device down on the table and mouthes a curse out:: CEO: Yeah they may get lucky next time.
Host SMLea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld on last   ::Thuds head:: >
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: What are you thoughts on how we defend against these types of threats? I had a few thoughts of my own ::slides one of his PADDs over::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: Not sure there is a good way to defend against it.  Ship wide defense against modifications are going to be hard.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Takes the PADD.::
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances at Raeyld and then to Damrok again and nods::  Clay_CTO: Very good.  Do we need to bring anything?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO:  I have looked into shielding the systems and placing a voltage charge in several priorty areas.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: If we can get them uncloaked we can detect them and thats half the battle right there.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I was thinking if we can encrypt the data stream from the systems and rotate the keys on a regular basis we should know at least when someone tries modify the stream even if we can't stop it fully. And that was my next question
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: How do I shock a deck or at least a section at a time? We may not have a nearby capable ship willing to lend us their deflector dish.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CO/Clay_CMO:  If there are any interesting or unusual beverages to which you are partial, by all means, bring some to share.  ::Smiles cheerfully::  Otherwise, I have handled the rest.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: I can install units on every deck, but that could take weeks.  I was focusing on doing a smaller scale on priority systems.  Again more of a early warning rather then a complete ship wide protection.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
Clay_CTO: And where will this be?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: The over all problem I see if that the Vroa was able to modify this part of the ENV controls while our power was out.  So even the things you suggested would fail in the same situation
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Yeah focus on key systems for now plus internal security, I'd rather using internal forcefields don't cause a cascading failure next time I try seal them in on one deck. Enlist the SB engineering crew if you need.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CMO:  Rooms E-11 and E-13, just down the corridor.  I've rented out two of the common rooms for the evening and had them connected.  It should be rather relaxed.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to Damrok and smiles::
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
Clay_CTO: Sounds nice.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Can we reinitalize key systems from protected backups on power/comms loss? They may not be expecting us to take extreme actions.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: I'll do what I can Sir.  ::Takes a deep breath.::  You know if they know are systems and our technologies we are on the loosing side right now.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: It’s an option, but would take time to transfer over.  Even longer if power is out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: See what you can come up with, if they know our tech and the rulebook that well then maybe its time to throw out the rulebook.
Host SMLea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>Clay_CTO: I'll be there.  ::Smiles::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: I agree with that sir.  ::Finishes his coffee.::  I'll see what I can come up with.  I might be able to swap out some of the tranfer circuit making critial systems seem like non critical ones.   ::Smiles.::  Anything to improve our odds.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CO/Clay_CMO:  Excellent.  ::Nods politely once, and smiles::  If you have other questions, please let me know.  For now, though, I must excuse myself.  I have more invitations to deliver.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Now is there any easy way to induce a ground fault and force power from the impulse engines into the deck plating? I want to be able to shock entire deck sections at a time.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands::  Clay_CTO: I will see you then Damrok.  Thank you.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO:  Ship wide we can do that, but deck to deck will be a problem.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I'm fine with shipwide, flush them all out in one go. Set it up.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: Will do.  I'll have to figure out a way to lower the output voltage from the reactor.  One large kick at full power would instantly kill everyone on board.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I know its a pretty one sided fight right now but we'll learn from each round, eventually the odds will tip in our favor and then they'll regret what they've started.
Host SMLea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>::Stands:: Clay_CO: I'm sorry, Captain, I need to be going.  ::Smiles:: But I'll find you later.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: One can hope sir.  Our ships are not going to last long if they require weeks of repairs after minor Vroa battles.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: My personal trick for getting an Akira. ::smiles::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Laughs.::  XO:  I’m all in favor of a few more torpedo tubes Commander.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Clay_CO/Clay_CMO:  I will see you both later.  ::Turns and exits::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CEO: No objections from me if you convert a couple of quarters into launchers. Once it isn't my quarters.
Host Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
:nods to Raeyld and Damrok::  Clay_CMO/Clay_CTO: Aye.  Are you sure Raeyld?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
XO: I am afraid we just dont have time for something like that Commander.  But I'll make sure your request is noted to Starfleet Command for any refit suggestions to the Intrepid.   ::Smiles.::
Host SMLea says:
::Smiles:: Clay_CO: Yes. Take care.   ::Follows Damrok out of the room::
