Host CO_Morgan says:
::on bridge of Thomas::
DrArman says:
::Is sitting in the Thomas' sickbay with Becky::
FCO_Vekh says:
::is in Stellar Cartography, getting some data on the rendezvous area::
CNS_Savar says:
::sits on the Bridge of the Thomas, in the CNS chair, going over important data::
Ens_Arconus says:
::Checking on the guards around the Ambassador's quarters::
CTO_Matt says:
::stands on the bridge of the Thomas, running scans and pulling up any and all information about Skree ships, both from Starfleet and from their own experience::
EO_McDuggle says:
::is in engineering checking all systems::
FCO_Vekh says:
<Lt_Kawan> FCO: Here Mr Vekh. This iso-chips contains all data on the area you required. Is that all for now?
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Anything on LRS?
CTO_Matt says:
::checks LRS::  CO:  No Sir.  All clear.
XO_Danos says:
::walks onto the bridge and stands on the upper platform for a moment, surveying operations::
Becky says:
::lays down up on the bio bed::
FCO_Vekh says:
Lt_Kawan: Thank you. That's all for the moment ::heads out of SC::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods to CTO::
DrArman says:
::Pulls out a medical tricorder and scans Becky::
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Well so far its been pretty boring.  Nice change of pace, eh?
FCO_Vekh says:
::enters TL:: TL: Deck 1 and no jokes this time
Becky says:
Arman: I am not feeling too good.
CNS_Savar says:
::Moves to Science Station, calling up stellar phenomena in the area for intellectual study::
CTO_Matt says:
::hears the CO mention boring and remembers he hasn't been with us very long::
XO_Danos says:
::takes one last look down at the PADD in his hand and flips it to "record"::  CO: Yes.  Very relaxing.
FCO_Vekh says:
::arrives at Bridge and nods to other crewmembers:: ALL: Greetings
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to FCO::
DrArman says:
Self: Yup, thats what I thought.....
Sec_Arconus says:
::Approaches the Amb's quarters::
XO_Danos says:
CO: There was a minor difficulty in one of the auxiliary cargo bays.  If I can get your retinal scan I can get an engineering team on it as soon as possible.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks up at FCO::  FCO:  A little more professional next time, hmmm?  ::asks with raised eyebrow, and a frown::
FCO_Vekh says:
::heads toward Tactical and replies CTO's compliment:: CTO: Greetings, sir. Anything new about the Skree on the databanks?
XO_Danos says:
::offers Morgan the PADD he was holding onto::
FCO_Vekh says:
::dismayed at CO's statement:: CO: Sir! I was at Stellar Cartography compiling data on the rendezvous site.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks back to XO::  XO:  What...oh yes.  ::takes PADD and enter scan, then hands it back::  XO:  Get to it.
CTO_Matt says:
FCO:  No, I have been trying to come up with a way to scan for their ships, but, I have only come up with one idea, that may or may not work.
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  I was referring to your entrance...
DrArman says:
::Looks at the Tricorder and back at Becky’s bulging stomach::
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: Oh...Sorry sir...I'll see to that it never happens again...
XO_Danos says:
::nods to the Commander and then exits the bridge, intending to check on the Ambassador, the PADD securely tucked away in a pocket::
Sec_Arconus says:
::Nods at the guard::  Guard:  Anything happening?
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  See that it doesn't...ETA to rendezvous?
DrArman says:
::Looks at the Tricorder and goes white::
CNS_Savar says:
::Pulls up data on the sector... harmless Class 4 nebula::
FCO_Vekh says:
CTO: Our last encounter with them rendered little information
Becky says:
Arman: What’s the matter?
XO_Danos says:
*Arconus*  I trust the Ambassador is comfortable in his quarters?
FCO_Vekh says:
::moves to his console and checks readings:: CO: ETA is less then 5hs at present speed sir
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Have you cross referenced the Titan data?
DrArman says:
Becky: Well you are going into labor, but for some reason the baby isn't moving into the birth canal, were going to have to operate
CTO_Matt says:
FCO:  yes, the station did encounter one of their shark ships a while back and I am trying to compile data from the Titan and our data.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods to FCO:: FCO:  Acknowledged
Sec_Arconus says:
::As the guard shakes his head "No"  moves towards the turbolift at the end of the passageway::
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, I am doing that right now.
Sec_Arconus says:
*XO*  Yes Sir.  No problems.
Becky says:
Arman: Oh Boy ::passes out::
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Good, not that I think you'll find much, I wrote the tactical report.  ::grins slightly::
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to the CO and goes back to checking the data::
DrArman says:
::Checks Becky’s pulse and revives her:: Stay with me this time...
FCO_Vekh says:
CTO/CO: Their stealth cloak proved to be virtually impervious to scans. When we actually got readings it seemed to be only from their engines exhausts
Sec_Arconus says:
*XO*  I'm in the passageway outside his quarters now.
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  That's what we found on Titan, even the exhausts were almost impossible to trace...
Becky says:
::wakes up:: Arman: what?
XO_Danos says:
::enters a turbolift and keys in the coordinates for the ambassador's quarters::  *Arconus* Good.  I'll be down shortly.
DrArman says:
Becky: I'm afraid I'm going to have to operate on you
Becky says:
::passes out again::
CTO_Matt says:
FCO:  Maybe we can try and scan for shifts in space, instead of their ships.
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: Then, sir. I would theorize that they purposefully made themselves scannable to us that time. Perhaps they wanted us to note they were there
DrArman says:
::Shakes his head and revives Becky once again::
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Very possible. When they want to make a statement, they aren't shy about it.
Becky says:
::wakes up::
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  maybe they allowed you to see them so you could coordinate with them on the attack.
DrArman says:
::Smiles at Becky:: Nurse: Could you come over here please?
Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods::  CTO:  Possible, either that or they didn't think we posed any threat.
CNS_Savar says:
::Finishes scans of the sector, and finds little of interest::
DrArman says:
<Nurse> ::Walks up to Arman:: Doctor, what can I do for you?
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: Actually they weren't sir. When we tried to make a deep scan on them, they send a pulse through our scan waves that blinded sensors for a short period
OPS_Danforth says:
::realizes he's running late for his shift on the bridge and hurries out the door of his quarters::
XO_Danos says:
::exits the turbolift and crosses the corridor to the door to the Ambassador's quarters::  Arconus: He isn't asleep, is he?
DrArman says:
::Whispers:: Nurse: I would like you to distract Becky while I set up to operate
Becky says:
Arman: what’s going on?
Sec_Arconus says:
XO:  I'm not sure Sir.  He hasn't stirred from in there for a while.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks over at OPS station and frowns::
DrArman says:
Becky: Nothing, just hold tight
OPS_Danforth says:
TL: bridge...and hurry.
FCO_Vekh says:
CO/CTO: According to Titan's data I would be bent on accepting the later. Their battlecruisers are at least double larger as a galaxy-class starship
DrArman says:
<Nurse> ::Nods::
CNS_Savar says:
::Looks up at frown:: CO: Captain?
DrArman says:
::Sets up a cloth screen so Becky cant see what’s going on::
XO_Danos says:
Arconus:  Only one way to find out then  ::rings the doorbell::
Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  Have you seen Mr. Danforth?
OPS_Danforth says:
::feels turbolift moving, but feels like it's going a mile every 24 hours::
OPS_Danforth says:
self: Come on!
CNS_Savar says:
CO: ::Telepathic trance:: He is on his way.
CTO_Matt says:
FCO:  With that kind of mass, could we not have our sensors set to scan for shifts in space?
Becky says:
::starts to panic:: Arman tell me what’s going on
OPS_Danforth says:
::TL doors open and I rush to my station::
Host Amb_JBru says:
Door:  Come!
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir! Sorry, sir.  Won't happen again.
Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Glad you could join us Mister Danforth.
CNS_Savar says:
*CMO*: Would you like some assistance down there, Doctor?
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Thank you, sir.
DrArman says:
Becky: You cant see what’s going on, but would you like me to describe to you what’s going on when I do it?
OPS_Danforth says:
::sits down at OPS and relieves the Ensign there::
FCO_Vekh says:
CTO: A path to pursue sir. I think we could try to scan for gravitational shifts instead
Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Yes I seem to be hearing that allot today...::looks at OPS and then FCO::
CNS_Savar says:
*CMO*: Maybe help your patient?
DrArman says:
*CNS* Why sure, as long as you don’t have a weak stomach
CNS_Savar says:
CO: Permission to leave the bridge?
OPS_Danforth says:
::quickly reading the ships position in space...assessing internal power systems...etc.::
Host CO_Morgan says:
Cns:  Any particular reason?
Host Amb_JBru says:
::wonders why the door chime rang and no one came through the door.::
FCO_Vekh says:
::frowns::
XO_Danos says:
::steps inside the room:: Amb: Ambassador, I wanted to stop by and welcome you aboard.  Also, if there's anything I can arrange for you... special replicator menus, anything, just say the word.
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: Those were my thoughts exactly.
Becky says:
Arman: I am scared ::passes out cause of fear::
CNS_Savar says:
CO: Sickbay has use of my counseling skills at this time
DrArman says:
::Motions for the nurse to revive Becky:: Nurse: keep her with us!
Host Amb_JBru says:
::stands:: Ah.  Thank you, Exec.  I believe everything is in order.  Are we there yet?
Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  Arman's fiancée?  Go ahead.  Wish them my best.
CNS_Savar says:
CO: Yes, sir.  ::Leaves Bridge:: TL: Sickbay.
DrArman says:
::Gives Becky a Hypo with 20ccs of Triptacederine
CNS_Savar says:
::Arrives in Sickbay:: Becky: How do you feel?
Becky says:
::wakes up::
OPS_Danforth says:
::makes minor corrections to power distribution throughout the ship::
Becky says:
CNS: I am scared
CNS_Savar says:
Becky: Why?
CTO_Matt says:
::starts working on the sensors to scan for gravitational shifts in space from objects the shapes of the Skree vessels::
XO_Danos says:
Amb: Not quite yet.  I imagine you would welcome all of the time you can get when faced with a challenge such as this.
OPS_Danforth says:
::looks at FCO::  FCO: Late, too, huh?
Becky says:
CNS: cause I don't know what is going on
FCO_Vekh says:
::calls for a junior officer to take over helm and moves besides CTO once again:: CTO: Then we should start preparations on sensors. The best choice would be to reconfigure close range sensors, as it would be unlikely that we could detect them at long range. What do you think sir?
DrArman says:
::Walks behind the screen:: Becky: I promise you wont feel a thing, Do you feel your body going numb from the chest down?
CNS_Savar says:
Becky: This is your fiancée.  Do you think he would harm you?
Host CO_Morgan says:
::gets up and moves over to Tactical with FCO and CTO::
Becky says:
::nods::
Host Amb_JBru says:
XO: Indeed.  There is very little data on the Skree.  The only reason we are doing this is because they requested it.
OPS_Danforth says:
FCO: I can transfer additional power to the sensors if you think that would help.
DrArman says:
::Wonders what Becky would say to that::
FCO_Vekh says:
::notices approach of CO and braces for impact::
CTO_Matt says:
FCO:  Already working on it, Vekh.  I need to refine what kind of gravitational shifts the sensors need to look for, as we don't need it telling us about planets moving.
FCO_Vekh says:
OPS: That would be perfect, Dan
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Anyway we could prepare some probes to launch and augment the sensors if need be?
OPS_Danforth says:
FCO: Rerouting power now...
XO_Danos says:
Amb: They have shown a tendency to alter their behavior rather erratically.  Has Starfleet taken into consideration that they may change their minds about talks by the time we arrive?
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, we could, but, we do not know how the Skree will take that action.
CNS_Savar says:
Becky: I've seen Dr. Arman in action before.  He is a very good doctor, and does everything he can to make his patients safe and comfortable.
FCO_Vekh says:
OPS/CTO/CO: Our point is that we should avoid direct scan on them. Last time we tried, they fried our sensors.
OPS_Danforth says:
::reroutes power from some minor systems and empty areas of the ship, transfers power to sensors::
Becky says:
::looks around:: CNS: I can't feel what’s going on
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  If we have to use the probes, I doubt that they will be feeling very friendly anyway.
OPS_Danforth says:
FCO: I've routed power to the sensors.  They should be operating at...110% peak efficiency.
CNS_Savar says:
Becky: Does that bother you?
DrArman says:
Becky: I just gave you some anesthetics, I need you to tell me if you feel anything more then Pressure
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Agreed.  We don't want to antagonize them.
Becky says:
CNS: what is happening to my Baby
Host Amb_JBru says:
XO: Yes, they are a bit erratic.  However, that comes with being as protective as they are.  The Diplomatic Corp confirmed the rendezvous point just before I left for your station.  I'm hoping this goes smoothly.
FCO_Vekh says:
::consults sensor grid:: OPS: Confirmed, Dan. Sensor efficiency is now at 110.
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  I think we can just boost our sensors with power from empty portions of the ship, to begin with.  And, if we do have to fight them, we could send out probes.
CNS_Savar says:
::Whisper:: CMO: Doctor... what are you doing?
OPS_Danforth says:
::unable to resist a joke::  FCO: Just wish you were as good at Pareses Squares as you are as an FCO, Drayan. ::chuckles::
DrArman says:
::Walks up to Becky:: Look love, I wont let anything happen to you or our baby, I could take the screen down and let you see what’s going on, but you have to promise that you wont pass out again
FCO_Vekh says:
CTO/CO: Our best choice is choose something they send out, like gravitational waves, heat exhaust and the likes
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Make the necessary preparations, just in case...
XO_Danos says:
Amb:  As am I.  They would make a valuable ally.  And now, if there is nothing further, I shall leave you to plan your tactics.  
CNS_Savar says:
Becky: Your baby will be fine, Becky.  It is his baby, too.
FCO_Vekh says:
::distraught:: OPS: Mr. Danforth, that remains to be seen
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks at the FCO and CTO::  CTO/FCO:  I'll leave you to figure out the details.  Good work so far.
Host Amb_JBru says:
XO: I'll let you know as soon as I require something.  Just inform me when we near the rendezvous.
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.
XO_Danos says:
Amb: As you wish.  ::bows slightly and departs the quarters::
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, anything I can help with?  Feeling a bit anxious to make a difference.
Becky says:
CNS: My baby. what’s wrong with my baby
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: Aye, sir. Thank you.
Host Amb_JBru says:
::goes back to staring at his notes::
Sec_Arconus says:
XO:  Well Sir how is he doing?
DrArman says:
Becky: I'm here, its okay, would you like me to Turn the EMH on and stay here with you?
Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Coordinate with the CTO on power needs for the sensors and tactical if we need them.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, sir.
FCO_Vekh says:
::turns back to CTO:: CTO: Sir, what about an adaptive algorithm that picks up graviton alteration and then extrapolates?
Becky says:
::nods::
XO_Danos says:
Arconus: The conversation was refreshingly pleasant..  I'll be on the bridge.  ::gets into a turbolift and punches in the bridge as his designation::
DrArman says:
Computer: activate EMH
Host CO_Morgan says:
::returns to the big chair, sits down and begins to look over reports on console::
FCO_Vekh says:
CTO: We just need to give it the probable alterations it should look for based on Titan's info on the Skree vessels
DrArman says:
<EMH> Please state the nature of the medical emergency
Sec_Arconus says:
::heads for the TL going to the next deck up::
DrArman says:
<EMH> ::Sees Becky and walks up to the CMO:: What’s wrong, why aren’t you delivering this woman’s baby??
OPS_Danforth says:
EO:  Ensign, can we route any power from either impulse engines or the warp drive to boost power to the sensors?
Host CO_Morgan says:
*EO*:  How is the repair on the auxiliary cargo bay, that the XO reported coming?
Becky says:
::starts to panic again::
DrArman says:
::Takes the EMH off to the side:: Look the baby wont go into the birth canal so I need to operate, she wont co operate unless I'm there with her, and I can be in 2 places at once, so you know what you have to do
DrArman says:
<EMH> ::Nods::
FCO_Vekh says:
::works on the algorithm in Auxiliary Tactical 1::
EO_McDuggle says:
*CO * Their just about finished Sir
XO_Danos says:
::exits onto the bridge and circles the bridge, ending up down on the command deck::
CTO_Matt says:
::starts to input the data along with the FCO::
DrArman says:
::Walks up to Becky:: Its okay love, I'm here to stay ::Holds her hand::
Sec_Arconus says:
::Exits the TL and walks down to the cramped security office::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*EO*:  Very good.
FCO_Vekh says:
::double checks the algorithms programming:: CTO: I think we could give it a try sir. I'll be inputting the parameters of the Skree Battlecruiser now
Becky says:
::looks at him:: Arman: I am scared
CNS_Savar says:
::Steps back::
EO_McDuggle says:
*OPS* It's possible to reroute some power from impulse, I want to save warp just in case
OPS_Danforth says:
FCO/CTO:  Gentlemen, I don't know if you've tried this already, but what about a graviton sensor net?  Or a magnetic sensor net?
DrArman says:
Becky: So am I, but the EMH knows what he's doing
XO_Danos says:
CO: I spoke with the Ambassador, sir.  He's seems reasonably content in his quarters.
DrArman says:
CNS: Would you like to assist the EMH?
OPS_Danforth says:
*EO*: Thanks, Ensign.  I'll reroute it through the system.
FCO_Vekh says:
OPS: We are just working on it, Dan. We'll be able to test the program in short time I think
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to the FCO::  FCO:  The only problem is that we do not know what kind of ship we are going to be meeting.  Their ship could be smaller than the Thomas.
Becky says:
Arman: What’s wrong?
OPS_Danforth says:
::boosting power to the sensor grid::
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Good, seems to be a rather stable fellow as far as ambassadors go.  Well your cargo bay is about fixed.
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: Acceptable.
FCO_Vekh says:
::thinks deeply on subject::
DrArman says:
Becky: Nothing honey, everything’s going to be okay
OPS_Danforth says:
FCO: Drayan, I've got sensors working up to 120% efficiency.
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  I'll be in my RR.  You have the bridge.
XO_Danos says:
CO: Noted.  I'll keep you apprised.
Becky says:
Arman: Please tell me what’s wrong
OPS_Danforth says:
::preparing contingency plans::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::exits bridge into RR::
EMH says:
CNS: A Vulcan?  Helping an EMH
CNS_Savar says:
::raises eyebrow:: EMH: My medical skills are still acceptable
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The USS Thomas arrives at the given coordinates.
FCO_Vekh says:
::at helm:: XO: Arriving at rendezvous point
CTO_Matt says:
::starts to implement the new sensors to try and detect gravitational shifts in space::
Sec_Arconus says:
::Confirms the shift change so fresh pers are in position::
OPS_Danforth says:
::prepares to boost power to the shields and weapons systems::
XO_Danos says:
FCO: Very good.  Take us to station-keeping.   *Ambassador* Ambassador, we have arrived at the designated rendezvous coordinates.
FCO_Vekh says:
XO: with your permission the CTO and I would like to implement our graviton sensor grid
XO_Danos says:
*CO* We're there, and the ambassador has been notified.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::sitting in RR, still reviewing reports on Skree::
FCO_Vekh says:
::puts the Thomas in the appropriate position::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.  I will be there shortly.
EMH says:
::Finishes surgery on Becky, handing used tools to CNS:: CNS: Here, you take care of these.
Host Amb_JBru says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.  I'll be right up.
Sec_Arconus says:
::Stands outside the Amb's quarters chatting with the guard::
CNS_Savar says:
::Takes medical tools::
DrArman says:
::Holds Becky and sSmiles when he hears the baby cry:: Becky: That’s our baby
CNS_Savar says:
Computer, deactivate the EMH.
XO_Danos says:
FCO: So long as it poses no potential threat to the Skree, you may.
EMH says:
CNS: Hey, just...
Host Amb_JBru says:
::leaves quarters in a hurry and heads for the TL::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::exits RR onto the bridge::
Becky says:
::laughs:: Arman: Our Baby
FCO_Vekh says:
::nods to XO:: XO: Thank you sir. ::moves to AUX TAC 1 again::
Sec_Arconus says:
::Follows the Amb::  Amb:  Well Sir the moment has arrived.
DrArman says:
::Waits for the CNS to hand him the Baby and tell him the sex::
XO_Danos says:
::gets up out of the Captain's chair, although lingering just a moment there::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods to the XO::  XO:  Anything unusual?
FCO_Vekh says:
CTO: I think we are ready to implement our experiment. Shall we start with a low level scan, sir?
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: It appears to be male.  ::Hands baby to Arman, wrapped in a blue blanket::
XO_Danos says:
CO: Not as of yet, sir.
CNS_Savar says:
CMO/Becky: Congratulations.
Host Amb_JBru says:
::nods at the Security Chief, preoccupied by his own thoughts::
DrArman says:
::smiles and hands Becky the baby::
Becky says:
::smiles:: Arman: Our baby
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  With their cloaking tech, I wonder if they are out there watching us...kind of disturbing really.
CTO_Matt says:
::continues to keep regular scans active to scan for any possible Bellicose activity::
FCO_Vekh says:
::initiates a low level graviton scan:: CTO: Initiating now, sir.
DrArman says:
CNS: Thank you Savar, you have been a great help
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to the FCO::
CNS_Savar says:
*CO*: Captain, I sense the Ambassador is traveling to the bridge.  Would you like me to come back up?
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO: Just thinking about some large shark, lying in wait...::said in low voice::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CNS*:  Yes, report to the bridge.
Host Amb_JBru says:
::enters TL::
CNS_Savar says:
*CO*: Acceptable.  CMO: Duty calls.  Congratulations again.
XO_Danos says:
CO:  It is a bit intimidating, but if I had that kind of technology I don't know if I'd turn down the opportunity to thoroughly size up a potential threat.
DrArman says:
CNS: Thank you
Sec_Arconus says:
::enters TL with the Amb::
CNS_Savar says:
::Leaves Sickbay, and calls the TL... the same one the Amb is in::
DrArman says:
::smiles at Becky while he runs a tricorder over the baby::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::turns to the TL::  Amb:  Ambassador we are at the rendezvous coordinates.  No sign of the Skree.
FCO_Vekh says:
::sighs:: CTO: Nothing so far sir. I'm afraid that deepening the scans could make the Skree angry
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  I wish we had that kind of opportunity.
CNS_Savar says:
Amb: Ambassador, I am Counselor Savar.  My skills are at your disposal.
Becky says:
::smiles:: Arman: what’s the gender of our baby
Host Amb_JBru says:
::arrives on the bridge::
CNS_Savar says:
::Steps off TL::
Host Amb_JBru says:
::nods and grins at the CNS::
DrArman says:
Becky: A handsome baby boy, We agreed on David-Michael right?
CTO_Matt says:
FCO:  This type of scan is just looking for shifts in space.  It really doesn't look for technology or anything like that.  I think we could deepen the scan.
Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: No sign of them?  Have you tried hailing them?
FCO_Vekh says:
::notices arrival of Ambassador and makes an 'at attention' posture::
Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  No sir.  I didn't want to do anything with out you.  The show is all yours, sir.
XO_Danos says:
::approaches the FCO and softly whispers "at ease, before you sprain something" to him::
Sec_Arconus says:
::Slips onto the Bridge and takes up an at ease position near the TL::
FCO_Vekh says:
::eases:: CTO: Right, sir. Improving scan resolution by 5x ::tampers with console::
CNS_Savar says:
::Stands near the Amb, but not close enough to appear as though they are standing together::
Host Amb_JBru says:
::walks over to the OPS station:: OPS: May I?
Host CO_Morgan says:
::sees Arconus, nods to him and motions for him to be at ease::
CTO_Matt says:
::continues to scan the area, looking for anything out of the unusual::
OPS_Danforth says:
Amb: Of course.
OPS_Danforth says:
::gets up and allows the ambassador access::
FCO_Vekh says:
::decides he'd better get back to his post at once:: CTO: I'll be monitoring the scans from FC console sir ::nods and heads for his console::
OPS_Danforth says:
::looks at CO for approval::
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Anything?
Host Amb_JBru says:
OPS: Thank you.  ::moves to the console and deftly sends out a message::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods for Ops to allow Ambassador access::
FCO_Vekh says:
::sits down and access Thomas status::
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to FCO::  CO:  No, Sir, nothing yet.
Becky says:
::is tired::
Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I am sending out a greeting that the Skree and the Federation Diplomatic Corp agreed on.
DrArman says:
Becky: Get some rest, I'll take care of David
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Continue low level scans, they can't begrudge us wanting to know what's out there.
Becky says:
Arman: Ok ::closes her eyes::
Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Very well sir.  We are at your disposal.
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.
FCO_Vekh says:
::waits for the Ambassador's action::
XO_Danos says:
::moves back towards the front of the bridge::  FCO:  Hold position, but keep the engines warm in case we have to leave in a hurry.
DrArman says:
::Takes David and gives him to the nurse:: Nurse: Please watch over him while I go for a walk
Host Amb_JBru says:
::waits expectantly for a response::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks to XO::  XO:  I'd feel better if we got some response...
DrArman says:
<Nurse> ::places the child in the crib beside Becky’s bed::
FCO_Vekh says:
XO: Maintaining position, sir. Impulse engines and warp drive at ready.
Host Amb_JBru says:
::grumbles:: I don't understand this.  They should be out there....
CNS_Savar says:
::Sits down in CNS chair, and attempts to telepathically sense the Skree::
FCO_Vekh says:
::watches main viewer, thinks to himself that the Skree might be there actually::
XO_Danos says:
CO: Perhaps this is part of their negotiating tactics.  See if we're committed enough to sit out here for a while going crazy with boredom and apprehension.
DrArman says:
::Leaves SB and heads to his quarters to change::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::doesn't like this::  FCO: Lay in a course 135 degree off current for emergency purposes.
OPS_Danforth says:
::chuckles at XO's comments::
CTO_Matt says:
::continues the scans of the area, checking that system on LRS to make sure nothing stirs from there::
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Well it certainly beats the Klingon hit-you-over-the-head-till-you-collapse method.
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: Aye, sir. Inputting emergency evasive course. ::works on console::
Host Amb_JBru says:
::enters the greeting again::
CNS_Savar says:
::Feels nothing telepathically::
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Reverify that we are at the proper coordinates.
DrArman says:
::Changes into a fresh uniform and heads to the Bridge::
FCO_Vekh says:
::thinks this is not going as it should and keep hand prepared for engage course::
XO_Danos says:
::grins::  CO: Better being beaten over the head than drunken under the table.  Bloodwine can be a potent weapon.
DrArman says:
::Nods to the XO::
FCO_Vekh says:
::check readouts:: CO: We are exactly at designed position, with an error of less than 3 Km
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  True ::grins::
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Acknowledged.  Thank you.
CTO_Matt says:
::sets up 4 monitors at his console to display the fore, aft, port and starboard side monitors to look for anything moving out there::
Host Amb_JBru says:
::becoming frustrated::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Thomas' graviton sensors go haywire and short out from the amount of energy they detect.
Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Well Ambassador, we don't seem...
CNS_Savar says:
::Turns as consoles go up in sparks::
OPS_Danforth says:
Amb: Excuse me, sir...
OPS_Danforth says:
::moves into seat::
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, our sensors just went out.
Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  Report
FCO_Vekh says:
::is alarmed at sensors short circuit and hurries to Aux Tac 1 to shut them down::
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sensors went out after being overloaded...something huge is out there.
DrArman says:
::Thinks he better get back to SB so he enters the TL::
CNS_Savar says:
::Goes over to Aux. SCI::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Space in front of the Thomas distorts visually and a gigantic vessel appears.  It looks like an old Earth Megalodon and is four times the size of a Galaxy Class starship.
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, there is a huge gravitational shift happening out there.
FCO_Vekh says:
::attempting to control fire on console::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::mutters under his breath::  There heeereee
XO_Danos says:
CTO: Standby shields!
OPS_Danforth says:
self: ::mutters:: Uh-oh.
DrArman says:
TL: Sickbay
CNS_Savar says:
CO: Ship coming into shape.  4 times the size of a Galaxy-class.
FCO_Vekh says:
::turns to viewscreen:: SELF: WOW!!
OPS_Danforth says:
::rerouting extra power to shields::
DrArman says:
::Has no clue what’s going on::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks at viewscreen::  They certainly build them big...
OPS_Danforth says:
::trying to get sensors back up::
CTO_Matt says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.
FCO_Vekh says:
::hurries back to helm and stand by::
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Any sign of weapons power-up or targeting sensors?
Sec_Arconus says:
::stares at the viewscreen::
DrArman says:
::Makes a stop at the Replicator::
XO_Danos says:
::looks over to the CO::  CO: I think I preferred them when they were invisible...
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  No, Sir, not that I can tell.
FCO_Vekh says:
::make proper position corrections due to gravitational distortion caused by the Skree vessel::
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, they have weapons at ready status.
DrArman says:
Computer: Please give me a bouquet of Betazed flowers, different types
CNS_Savar says:
CTO: Can you confirm these readings?  Is the ship as powerful as the sensors say?
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  That is one big fish. Now I think I know how Jonas felt just before the whale got him.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Last indications from readings show that there were strong surges of energy to their weapons systems.
DrArman says:
::Takes the flowers and enters SB::
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: Sir, can I make a suggestion?
CTO_Matt says:
CNS:  I cannot tell right now, our sensors are overloaded.
OPS_Danforth says:
CTO: It is that powerful, sir.  But I can't get sensors back up.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO:  It could be organic....
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Suggest away.  CTO:  Energize defense screens and bring shield generators on-line but do not raise shields.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Maybe THAT'S why it didn't show up on sensors.
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: I suggest we do ... nothing to provoke them. This could be their way to test our intentions
DrArman says:
::Puts the flowers into a vase and smiles at Becky wondering if she's still sleeping::
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, I misread the little data we are getting, but, yes, they do have weapons at the ready.
Host AMB_JBru says:
CO: No!
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  I whole heartily agree.  We couldn't even scratch the paint on that thing...
CNS_Savar says:
::Raises eyebrow::
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::starts to bring the generators online::
Host AMB_JBru says:
CO: Do not raise shields or take any defensive action!
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, maybe we should hail them using actual sound waves instead of transmitted data.
FCO_Vekh says:
CO: A nice painting at that, sir ::Vekh states matter-of-factly::
CNS_Savar says:
OPS: Sound waves do not carry in the vacuum of space.
Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Excuse me sir.  I have to look after the safety of this vessel.  A large vessel with weapons energized and unknown intentions is a possible threat to that safety
Sec_Arconus says:
CTO:  What if their cloaking system uses an active feedback tech? Maybe passive scanners will work better.
OPS_Danforth says:
CNS: We may not be able to communicate because of the vacuum, but couldn't the waves themselves be transmitted?
CTO_Matt says:
Sec:  It is possible, Arconus, but, right now, our sensors are overloaded.
Host AMB_JBru says:
CO: Under normal conditions I would agree, Commander. However, if you show a defensive posture, they will perceive you, or us, as prey.
Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Prey?
Host AMB_JBru says:
CO: ::nods:: That is what I said.
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Stand down the shield generators.  They wouldn't do much good anyway from what I remember.
XO_Danos says:
CO: I don't think we'd even be one bite for that thing.
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::powers down the generators::
Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Not even an appetizer.
Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  I hope you know what you are doing, or else we are fish food.
FCO_Vekh says:
::is not happy in the position of potential prey and mumbles to himself about it::
Sec_Arconus says:
::Moves to the TAC station:: CTO: Well what about optic scanners.  We can get a spectral view.  Thermal, ultraviolet, infrared.
OPS_Danforth says:
::doesn't want to be prey::
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, sensors are coming back on-line...
Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Readings?
Host AMB_JBru says:
::Raises a non existent eyebrow:: CO: Sharks are not fish, Commander.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Just now coming in, sir.  It appears to have both warp and impulse capabilities.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: It's maneuvering is likely to be as good as the Thomas'.
CTO_Matt says:
Sec:  We could do that, but, right now, I don't want to give them any sign that those scans could be construed as an attack.
Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Really?  I guess I'll have to brush up on my ichthyology if we survive this...
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: And it appears as if the dorsal fin is actually a weapon.
FCO_Vekh says:
::consults readings on his console:: CO: I think I've identified their equivalent of warp nacelles and impulse systems, sir.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks at XO with frown at OPS statements::
Sec_Arconus says:
CTO:  Since it's passive they should have no way of knowing.  Really we're just looking at them for all intents and purposes.
Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Estimate on speed of vessel?
CNS_Savar says:
Amb: Actually, sir, sharks are fish...
XO_Danos says:
::understands that frown all too well::  OPS: what kind of power readings are you getting from that weapon?
OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Checking sir...
Host AMB_JBru says:
::ignores the CNS::
OPS_Danforth says:
::checks for power reading from dorsal fin::
CTO_Matt says:
Sec:  Let me check to see if the Commander will allow us this type of scan.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, there are approximately 2,000 life signs aboard the ship, living in a ...fluidic environment.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods to Ops::  That meshes with our scans on Titan.
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, Security Arconus has suggested that we use optic scanners to scan the Skree ship.  With your permission, may we proceed?
FCO_Vekh says:
::consults console:: CO: extrapolating from approx. mass and impulse exhaust size, I'd say they can match us in sub-light. Warp capacity, is unknown at this time, but I think they could easily outrun us.
DrArman says:
::Walks up to his baby and smiles at him::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks at Amb:: Amb: May we proceed with optical scans? I wouldn't want to upset them.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO/XO/CTO: Bad news, sir....
Host AMB_JBru says:
CO: Optical scans should present no problem.
DrArman says:
David: I promise on the life of my symbiont, that I wont let anything happen to hurt you, as long as I live
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Proceed
XO_Danos says:
OPS: what else is new...  How bad?
OPS_Danforth says:
CO/XO/CTO: It has the capability of firing the equivalent of 15 type XI phasers....
CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Sec:  Proceed with your optical scans.
OPS_Danforth says:
CO/XO/CTO: AND an indeterminate amount of missile weapons.
OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Considering what we've seen so far, I'm sure their missile weapons are more powerful than ours, too.
Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  We knew we would probably be out matched.  Let's just get the job done, and not make them mad.  I'd rather not have a display of their tactical prowess.
XO_Danos says:
OPS: Next time I ask a question I probably don't want answered, make sure I really want the answer...
CNS_Savar says:
OPS: That would be a logical conclusion.
Sec_Arconus says:
CTO:  Try max magnification on the hull surface.  At this range we may be able to tell something of the composition.  Then I suggest any exhaust ports in view and then their viewpoints.
OPS_Danforth says:
::chuckling at the XO's attempt to bring levity to the situation:: XO: Aye, sir.
FCO_Vekh says:
CTO/XO: New readings on their warp systems indicate capability for warp 9.5, with energy to spare.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::frowns at OPS, doesn't find anything about the situation funny::
CTO_Matt says:
Sec:  Bringing magnification up on the hull surface.
Host AGMDave says:
