 Host ADM-Alexander says:
USS Cherokee 10206.09 - Cherokee, or not Cherokee Part 1

Host ADM-Alexander says:
The crew of the Cherokee find themselves in an alternate Universe.  It seems they have met their "twins", which sound like old Earth Hillbillies.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
Slack has disappeared with one of the Cherokee's engineers and now it is up to the crew to find a way home.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
Where is home?  Will this crew ever return?

Host ADM-Alexander says:
ACTION:  On the bridge, a MIST appears in a rosy color.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::jumps up from his chair::

OPS_Jones says:
::on the bridge at her station::

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Rises slowly.::  CO: What is this?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sitting on the bridge scanning the area for any anomalies. Notices the mist and pulls out a tricorder.::

CTO_Worthington says:
::at tactical, going over situation reports::

Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: What is that, a coolant leak?

Host CO_Lyon says:
::edges back:: XO: I've heard of this... its a mischievous mist. Be careful around it.

FCO_Toltek says:
::at the helm, checking the orientation of the ship and its location::

CEO_Terumo says:
::monitoring the core's reload, turns around where he sees a pink reflection in the console::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Negative, trying to determine what it is now.

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: So it's sentient?

Host ADM-Alexander says:
<MIST> CO:  We have come to visit you.

Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: For all counts as far as I know. ::turns:: CTO: Trent...

Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns back to the mist:: MIST: How delightful. I assume you have a reason?

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Yes, Captain?

OPS_Jones says:
::looks at the strange mist that has appeared on the bridge and thinks "what now"::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The MIST begins to fade somewhat and a person steps from it.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Stands up and backs as far out of the mists' range as he can.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::over his shoulder:: CTO: Did you notice this substantial mist... ::stops talking::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sees the mist fade and a person strides out of its center.::

CTO_Worthington says:
::grabs his phaser and alerts security::

Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: Trent, your reactions are slow.

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Watches the person step forward.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scanning the being.::

OPS_Jones says:
::notices that the mist faded and a being starts to step through it::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::blinks at the person stepping out of the mist:: Self: Well, I'll be...

FCO_Toltek says:
::looks over his shoulder at the person stepping out of the mist and raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Worthington says:
::walks down closer towards the mist::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::clutches Tach's arm:: XO: Tach... is that? ::points:: Yes, it is! ::moves forward:: Adm: Admiral!

Host ADM-Alexander says:
ALL:  I have been on a delightful journey.  It is good to see all of you.

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: From which universe, I wonder.

CEO_Terumo says:
::looks at the console:: Self: Ok, this is unexpected...

CSO_Nash says:
:: Puts the tricorder away as the Admiral herself appears.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::halts in front of the Admiral:: Adm: Who is in power?

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer... all of you.  ::grinning at them, loving surprises::

OPS_Jones says:
::sees the Admiral come into view::

CTO_Worthington says:
::wonders what is going on and lowers phaser::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, this is what several alien entities have that kindly consented to give me a ride to the ship.  One minute I was on a Starbase in the Briar Patch, and the next I am here.  Very accommodating, wouldn't you say?

Host CO_Lyon says:
::grins:: Adm: Very much so... but we're a bit far from home, ma'am. ::points at the viewscreen and the TSP Cherokee::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::following Rojer's finger, she looks at the viewscreen::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Do we know where we are?

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: That depends on how you mark distance.  In many ways, we're very close to home.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
XO:  Tach, would you like to explain that to a very tired Admiral?

CMO_Starr says:
::making sure sickbay is ready, going over crewmembers medical records to see when their next physical is due::

Host CO_Lyon says:
Adm: Uhm... not sure ma'am. An alternate universe, because here the Klingons are in power and there is no Federation.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::raises her eyebrows at his statement::

Host CO_Lyon says:
:;taps his comm badge:: *CMO*: Michaela, please come to the bridge.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::gives a conspiring grin at the Adm and Tach::

Host XO_Siatty says:
Adm: So we are in a location that is close to home, but may as well be in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::looking around the room, she notices new faces::

CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  Yes Sir, on my way.  ::leaves Dr. Paine in charge of sickbay and heads for the nearest turbo lift::

CTO_Worthington says:
::returns to tactical, scanning the Admiral to verify it is really her::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
XO:  Understood Tach... ::smiling at him::  Good to see you again.

Host XO_Siatty says:
Adm: Yes ma'am, you as well.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::sees her looking around:: Adm: There has been some changes on the bridge. All: This is Admiral Alexander, base commander of Starbase 33, our home.

CMO_Starr says:
::enters the turbo lift and heads up to the bridge::

OPS_Jones says:
::nods in the Admiral's way::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Nods to the Admiral.::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::She smiles looking each new member in the face::  CO:  Where is Irandor, Rojer?  I don't see him.

FCO_Toltek says:
::inclines his head slightly in the admiral's direction::

CMO_Starr says:
::exits the TL onto the Bridge, seeing the CO talking to someone who looks like the admiral::

CMO_Starr says:
CO: You wished to see me.  Admiral:  Hello Madam.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::blinks:: Adm: Ma'am? I thought you knew he had to go back to his home planet. Orders came through and he left before we got pulled through the wormhole.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CMO:  Good to see you Michaela... Troi said to tell you hello.

CMO_Starr says:
Admiral:  Its good to see you as well ::discretely scans   her to be sure it’s really OUR admiral::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, I have not been at SB 33.  I have been helping out Rachel.

Host XO_Siatty says:
Adm: Is she still safe and, more important, hidden?

Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods:: Adm: I see. Irandor had to leave, and asked me to take temporary command until SFC assigned a new captain.

CTO_Worthington says:
CMO: Can you verify that this is really the Admiral?

CMO_Starr says:
Admiral: How is Rachel?  Safe I hope

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::grins at Michaela's thoughts::  ~~~CMO:  It is I, I assure you.~~~

CMO_Starr says:
~~~~Admiral:  I had to check... ::laughing::  It is good to see you~~~~

Host ADM-Alexander says:
XO:  She is safe, but not hidden... I am afraid they know where she is.

CMO_Starr says:
CTO, CO:  It really our admiral.  Scan verified.  ::puts away her tricorder::

Host XO_Siatty says:
Self: There goes our advantage.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Show me the orders Rojer.  I need to be brought up to speed.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Keeps his thoughts on finding a way home.::

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Reconsiders.:: Self: Or on second thought, they now will meet their nightmares.

CTO_Worthington says:
CMO: Acknowledged. *SEC*: Cancel alert. Send delta team to see to the Admiral's safety.

Host CO_Lyon says:
Adm: Sure. ::waves her to the center seat, and pulls up the information on the console for her to read::

FCO_Toltek says:
::returns his attention to the conn console::

CMO_Starr says:
::moves to stand behind Lyon and the Admiral::

OPS_Jones says:
::during this idle "chit chat", she wonders if anyone remembers the strange predicament that they are in::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::takes a seat in the CO's chair and begins to read::

CMO_Starr says:
OPS:  Anything new on our scanners?

Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Tach, how much longer until our guests arrive?

Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  Strange predicament?  ::looking at Kyleigh::  What are you referring to?

CSO_Nash says:
:: As the Admiral looks over the orders, I start scanning the local spatial area, I also contact Astrometrics for any help they can offer.::

CEO_Terumo says:
CO: The warp core will be online shortly.

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: 45 minutes until they arrive, assuming they use the same time scale and not some sundial system.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
~~~Rojer:  Your folks do not realize I can hear them, do they? OH! I just noticed!  What is that lovely creature around your neck?~~~

OPS_Jones says:
::looks at the Admiral::  Adm:  With all due respect, Ma'am, we are facing our counterparts in this backwards universe. We need to find a way home before things get really hairy.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::snorts with laughter: XO: Acknowledged. *CEO*: Excellent Terumo. Good going. Let me know when it’s fully operational.

CSO_Nash says:
:: I also begin scanning for neutrinos. I want to make sure I can find that wormhole again.::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  Have they exhibited any hostile natures?

Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: Any way we can reopen that wormhole?  It seemed a torpedo expanded it before, could we do that again?

OPS_Jones says:
Adm:  None that I have seen.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  Then relax ::smiling::  Let's take it as it comes.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Ok Rojer, bring everyone to attention please.

OPS_Jones says:
Adm:  I'll try but you never know Ma'am when things can go wrong.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  Very true...

Host XO_Siatty says:
OPS: Sure you do, at the worst possible time.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: If it worked the first time I think it should again.  I'm trying to find the wormhole now sir.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
XO:  Tach, have you become a cynic in your old age?  ::laughing::

Host XO_Siatty says:
OPS: Trick to avoiding trouble is knowing when that time is.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::lets his answer sit in his public mind for the Adm to pick up - "Trish, we're not used to having telepaths on the bridge, and many of them don't know they broadcast. This little fellow is called Gereth... a long story I'll have to debrief you on" ::

OPS_Jones says:
XO:  I'll take your word on that.

CMO_Starr says:
OPS:  We always try to avoid trouble.. trouble is , that trouble likes to find us... ::smiling::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
~~~Rojer:  I can't wait to hear this story.~~~

Host CO_Lyon says:
::raises his voice:: All: Your attention please, the Admiral wishes to speak to us. ::smiles at her in reply::

OPS_Jones says:
CMO:  That's what I'm afraid of.

OPS_Jones says:
::hears Lyon and stands at attention::

CTO_Worthington says:
::stands at attention::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Stands at attention as the Admiral stands to speak.::

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Comes to attention before his seat.::

CEO_Terumo says:
::turns to the Admiral and stands at attention::

CMO_Starr says:
::goes to attention ::

FCO_Toltek says:
::stands from his seat at attention::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
ALL:  It looks like I get to do the thing I like to do best.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, front and center please.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::moves around to stand in front of her:: Adm: Ma'am.

Host CO_Lyon says:
:: ADM: "You love this don't you" ::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, I don't have the pips with me, but I am sure we can replicate some later.  It is with great pleasure, and pride I must add, that you are now officially the Captain of the Cherokee ::reaches over and hugs him::  ~~~Rojer:  You bet I do!~~~

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  Congratulations, Rojer. ::smiles at him::

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Congratulations, Captain.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Congratulations Captain!

Host CO_Lyon says:
::returns the hug with a shocked look on his face:: Adm: Thank you ma'am.

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Congratulations, sir!

OPS_Jones says:
::smiles at the new captain::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::while he is being congratulated she whispers::  CO: Do you have anyone in mind for your XO?  If so, do your duty!

Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks a bit embarrassed:: All: Thanks. ::gives the Adm a grin::

CEO_Terumo says:
::smiles to the CO::

CSO_Nash says:
Rojer: Congratulations. :: Extends his hand.:: Sir.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::shakes hands that are offered:: All: Well, since the Admiral, against her better knowledge has made me captain of this vessel... I have to do something to continue in that tradition.

CMO_Starr says:
CO: is that anything new, Sir?

Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Tach, front and center. ::grins at Michaela::

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Sir?

CMO_Starr says:
::grins back at him::

Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: You've done a lot to help keep this ship going, so I can't think of anybody better to be my scapegoat... uhm Executive Officer. Congratulations.

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Thank you sir, I'll do my best to take as much of the blame as Zoidily possible.

CMO_Starr says:
XO:  Congratulations, Tach ::smiles at him::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::laughs:: XO: I know you will. ::turns to the Admiral so she can continue::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
XO:  Congratulations Tach... well done ::waits to give him a hug as well::

CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Congratulations Commander.

CMO_Starr says:
::walks around and gives both Rojer and Tach a hug::  CO/XO:  You both deserve it and congrats.  ::smiles at them both::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Congrats Tach. :: Shakes his hand .::

Host XO_Siatty says:
All: Thank you all.

OPS_Jones says:
::smiles a congratulatory smile to the new XO::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::looks at Rojer and hands him a PADD::

CMO_Starr says:
::walks back to where she was standing behind the CO's chair::

CEO_Terumo says:
::shakes Tach's hand::

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Shakes extended hands.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::takes the PADD, reads it, gives the Adm a look and begins to smile::

Host CO_Lyon says:
OPS: Ens. Jones! Front and center.

OPS_Jones says:
::stunned as her name is called and she starts to go front and center, praying that she won't trip on the way::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::Trish is grinning from ear to ear, she loves seeing promotions::

OPS_Jones says:
::stands front and center::

CMO_Starr says:
~~~~Admiral:  I see you are ready to bust out.   It is good to have you back on board.~~~~

CSO_Nash says:
:: Notices that Kyleigh is being called up front.:: Self: I think she is due this one. :: Begins grinning at Kyleigh.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::smiles:: OPS: Ens Jones. As captain of this fine ship, it is my privilege to promote you to Lieutenant Junior Grade with all the responsibilities and privileges that go with it. Do you accept?

Host ADM-Alexander says:
~~~CMO:  It is good to be back, but I never expected to get here in quite this fashion!~~~

OPS_Jones says:
::smiles as the words sink in::  CO:  Oh yes, of course, sir.

CMO_Starr says:
~~~~Admiral:  We never did either.  ::laughing::~~~~

Host XO_Siatty says:
OPS: Congratulations, Lieutenant.

CMO_Starr says:
OPS:  Congrats Kyleigh.

Host CO_Lyon says:
OPS: As soon as I have the pips, you'll have it. Congratulations, Lieutenant.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves to the head of the line and envelops her in a massive embrace. Kyleigh: Congrats.

OPS_Jones says:
XO:  Thanks everyone.  ::smiles::  CO:  Understood, Sir.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  Congratulations my dear.  May you have a long career on the Cherokee.  ::waits to give her a hug::

CMO_Starr says:
::quietly walks over to the replicator and replicates the pips needed so far::

OPS_Jones says:
::relishes the hug she received from Kevin::

CMO_Starr says:
::gets the pips and quietly walks over to where Rojer and Kyleigh is standing and hands the Pips to him::

OPS_Jones says:
Adm:  Thanks Admiral.

CMO_Starr says:
OPS:  Congrats ::gives her a hug as well::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  Believe me, it is my pleasure.

OPS_Jones says:
::hugs the CMO::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::grins at Kyleigh and looks around the bridge, spots his next victim:: CMO: Thanks, Michaela. OPS: Seems I have them. ::grins and attaches the pips to her collar::

OPS_Jones says:
CO:  Thanks again.

CMO_Starr says:
CO: Your welcome. ::grinning and walks back to where she was::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::clears his throat:: CEO: Ens. Terumo! Front and center.

CMO_Starr says:
~~~~Admiral:  I replicated Rojer's pips, you want them?~~~~

OPS_Jones says:
::goes and stands next to Kevin::

CEO_Terumo says:
Self: oh, my... ::moves close to the CO::

CMO_Starr says:
::hands the Admiral what she has in her hand::

Host CO_Lyon says:

CSO_Nash says:
::Extends his hand.:: CEO: Congratulations.

OPS_Jones says:
CEO:  Congratulations.

CEO_Terumo says:
All: Thank you, everybody. I just don't know what to say...

CEO_Terumo says:
::shakes the hands offered::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, I believe I may now complete your promotion.  Oh, I did forget a little something besides these pips ::rolling them in her hand::  You may consider yourself as a commander as well.  That goes for Tach too.

CMO_Starr says:
CEO: That you're buy the next round in the Lounge.. ::grinning::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  Congratulations... you have done well by the Cherokee.  I expect a tour later.  ::smiling at him::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::gasps at the Adm:: Adm: Uhm, thanks, ma'am.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, are you trying to catch flies?

CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: Yes, ma'am. It'll be my pleasure.

Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: You think you want ANOTHER pip?

Host XO_Siatty says:
Adm: Thank you ma'am.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  Thank you.  Nothing better than a tidy and neat ME.

Host CO_Lyon says:
Adm: Uhm... not today.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::closes mouth with a snap::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, I believe you have a situation to take care of.  If you don't mind, the CEO is going to give me a tour, if you don't need him. ::grins at Rojer::

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: At least not until our friends arrive.

CMO_Starr says:
::tries to keep from laughing::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::grins:: Adm: By all means. He has to get the warp core online, but that should be almost complete. ::turns to the crew:: All: Congratulations to all of you again. We have some guests to meet.

Host HCO_Lyon says:
@COM: Cherokee::  Hey Rojeroo, what's the holdup.  Your knickers in a bunch!!  ::keeps hit the comm button.::

OPS_Jones says:
::now comes the part she regrets, meeting her counterpart::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  Shall we? ::taking the CEO's arm::

Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: I'll go greet our counterparts.  ::Turns and moves to the Transporter Room.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::takes a DEEP breath:: COM: TSP: Not at all, "cousin". We had some internal business to take care of. We're ready for you whenever you can make your way over.

CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: Yes, ma'am. After you, please ::steps sideways as he holds the Adm's arm::

CMO_Starr says:
::moves out of the CEO's and Admiral's way::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Groans and mutters under his breath.:: CO: What ever you say, sir. That will be done.

CTO_Worthington says:
::alerts security to the impending arrivals::

Host HCO_Lyon says:
@COM: Cherokee:  Okay then,  stand still there. Our walkway is mighty frisky today, must be those celestial winds.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::smiles politely:: COM: TSP: We'll transmit the co-ordinates to you now. My First Officer will meet you there. ::nods at Kyleigh to transmit the co-ordinates::

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Enters Transporter Room.::  Transporter Chief: Ready to receive our guests?

OPS_Jones says:
::sees her cue to transmit the co-ordinates and does so::

Host HCO_Lyon says:
@COM: Cherokee:: Hmmmmm what is a coordinate ?

Host XO_Siatty says:
<T Chief>: XO: Aye sir, just waiting for them.

FCO_Toltek says:
::returns to his seat at the helm, and checks the status of the warp engines::

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Security teams are in place for our visitors, Captain.

CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CO:  They didn't just say what’s a coordinate did they... ::realizes they are in for a long trip home::~~~~

Host CO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: COM: TSP: No need to worry. We'll make sure you get here safely.  Just wait right where you are. Who is joining you?

CEO_Terumo says:
::enters the TL after the Adm::

Host HCO_Lyon says:
ACTION:  A gangplank scrapes the side of the Cherokee as if trying to latch onto something.

Host XO_Siatty says:
Transporter Chief: As they come over, set the biofilter to scan for what they are carrying.  Don't filter anything out, but let Commander Worthington know.

CMO_Starr says:
::hears the noise:: OPS/CO:  What was that noise?

Host HCO_Lyon says:
@COM: Cherokee:  Just my kin....

OPS_Jones says:
CMO:  I don't want to know, but it didn't sound good.

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Something is trying to latch onto our hull, Captain.

Host XO_Siatty says:
*Bridge*: We're ready down here.

Host CO_Lyon says:
CMO: I shudder to think. CTO: Don't let it.

Host CO_Lyon says:
*XO*: Just a few more minutes.

FCO_Toltek says:
::taps on his console, trying to keep the ship stationary as it is hit by the gang plank::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans the area looking for anomalies. I also pull up the sensor data of our last confrontation with the Ursa. I send the sensor logs from the detonation of the probe over to tactical. CTO: Trent, here are those readings of what happened just before we got here. You may need them to create the same conditions if we find that wormhole.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::enters the TL with Terumo::  CEO:  Now Lt.,  Tell me what has been happening, quickly.  You are needed on the bridge.  Get an EO to meet me and I will make the rounds with him.

Host CO_Lyon says:
COM: TSP: Uhm, Rojer, no need for primitive measures. I'll get you here without trying to ruin my ship.

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Shall I raise shields, sir? CSO: Thank you Commander.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::hears the sound and realizes someone has scraped the Cherokee, but she holds onto her temper::

Host HCO_Lyon says:
@::looks perplexed.:: COM: Cherokee:  Your into those hocus pocus stuff ain't you ?

CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: Things haven't been great, so to speak. We almost had the Maquis, but FCO Slack turned the table on us. We lost control of the ship long enough for him to get away and tag us along...

CMO_Starr says:
::wonders who is going to be doing the painting this time::

FCO_Toltek says:
CO: Sir, shall I move the Cherokee away from our counterparts or keep our current position?

Host CO_Lyon says:
COM: TSP: Yeah, it’s the latest rage, didn't you know? Now hold still.

Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: Move a bit away.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  Any word on my daughter?

FCO_Toltek says:
CO: Aye sir. ::taps on his console, slowly maneuvering the Cherokee away from the other ship::

Host CO_Lyon says:
*XO*: Tach, have the chief lock onto the captain and senior officers, those are the ones that almost look like us, and beam them over.

Host HCO_Lyon says:
@COM: Cherokee::  Well Ok, only because it is you...

CEO_Terumo says:
ADM: T'Sara has been located, but we could not extract her at the time. She's on the planet we left behind... If we hadn't been taken here, she would probably be with us now.

Host CO_Lyon says:
COM: TSP: My heart is warmed by your trust, "cousin".

Host XO_Siatty says:
*CO*: Aye sir.  We aren't liking Transporter systems?  OK.  ::Nods to the Transporter Chief to beam them aboard.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
*XO*: Its more a case of not wanting to scrape the hull any further.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  What planet?  Do you know who was responsible?

Host HCO_Lyon says:
@::Sees himself dematerializing and screeches.....::

FCO_Toltek says:
::brings the Cherokee to a stop a little under a kilometer away from the ship::

Host CO_Lyon says:
*XO*: Bring them to the briefing room, please.

CTO_Worthington says:
::prepares a tractor beam to deflect the other Cherokee from latching on::

Host XO_Siatty says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CEO_Terumo says:
ADM: I can supply you with the planet's coordinates, if you wish. The child has had a transponder implanted, we believe, that's monitored by her kidnappers, apparently the Maquis.

Host HCO_Lyon says:
::he rematerializes on the USS Cherokee along with his kin, XO Siatty and gum smacking ops .  Seeing he is back together screeches again and jumps into XO Siatty's arm::

FCO_Toltek says:
::keeps an eye on the other ship's proximity to the C, keeping the C a distance away at all times::

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Collapses under the sudden weight.::  All: Ugh!

Host XO_Siatty says:
HCO: Easy there, I'm not a trampoline.

Host HCO_Lyon says:
XO:  You are witches...!!  That was just.....just.... wrong!!

CEO_Terumo says:
ADM: We were negotiating the hand over with the Narmanons when we got into this business with FCO Slack.

Host CO_Lyon says:
::gets and idea:: FCO: Ensign, I do believe you have been assigned as FCO recently?

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  Narmanons and FCO Slack?

FCO_Toltek says:
::turns his seat enough to view the CO:: CO: Yes, sir.

Host XO_Siatty says:
HCO: No, we just have a Technology that you don't.  We've been using it for close to 200 years.

Host HCO_Lyon says:
::Seeing their Capt. jump, Siatty and Jones, do the same thing.  Dog pile on the XO.::

Host XO_Siatty says:
HCO: We call it a "Transporter" and...Ooof!!!!

Host CO_Lyon says:
::gets a wicked grin on his face:: FCO: Goood... don't move! ::runs to the ready room and replicates something, and quickly returns::

Host XO_Siatty says:
Self: First Officer Door mat it is...

FCO_Toltek says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CO's actions::

OPS_Jones says:
<HOPS>  HCO:  Um... Capy, we ain't in Kansas no more.  ::looks at her other self::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::comes to a halt next to the helm:: All: I believe we missed out on something earlier.

Host HCO_Lyon says:
HOPS:  No sugar plum we are not.  Are you all there sweetpea ?

Host HXO_Siatty says:
XO: Wee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CTO_Worthington says:
::thinks poor new FCO::

CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: The Narmanons had acquired the child, apparently because they can't have children of their own. As we were beginning to gain their trust, FCO Slack started a well planned sabotage that led us away from T'Sara and ultimately here. I think the kidnappers believed we were too close to getting the child.

Host XO_Siatty says:
All: If you would please, if you would stand I could take you to the Briefing room to meet the Captain?

Host CO_Lyon says:
::smiles hugely:: FCO: Ens. Tolek, it is with great pride that I bestow upon you the Order of the Paintbrush. ::wields a very small paintbrush::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  I see... so the Maquis have T'Sara on a planet in the Gamma quadrant?

Host HCO_Lyon says:
::Stands up unfortunately standing on the XO's chest.::

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Captain. Permission to go to Astrometrics?

Host XO_Siatty says:
All: Ugh!

Host CO_Lyon says:
CSO: One moment.

Host HXO_Siatty says:
::Rolls off laughing.::

CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: That's the last known status, unfortunately.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  Very good, return to your post on the bridge, and get the Cherokee up and running.  I will be fine ::looking at the two security with them::

Host HCO_Lyon says:
::Steps off the XO.:: XO:  Ok, where is my brother ?  ::Grins a bright grin, two front teeth missing.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: With this decoration, I charge you with the maintenance and integrity of the ship's hull. If she ever gets scratched... its your duty to repaint it... with this brush. ::tries to keep a straight face::

Host XO_Siatty says:
::Stands slowly.:: HCO: He's right this way.  ::Motions for them to follow as I leave the Transporter Room.::

CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: Thank you. I hope we reach success in our mutual goal soon. Please know that you can count on me.

FCO_Toltek says:
CO: Thank you sir. I will do my best to keep the hull in serviceable condition.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CEO:  I never had a doubt about that Terumo.

Host ADM-Alexander says:
::exits the TL to an EO waiting to escort her;:

Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods gravely:: FCO: I know I can trust you.

Host XO_Siatty says:
HCO: How do you normally move from one ship to the other if you don't have Transporters?

CEO_Terumo says:
TL: Main Engineering, please.

HOPS_Jones says:
::starts blowing a huge bubble and just when it’s at it biggest, she pops it and twirls it around her fingers::

Host HCO_Lyon says:
::Follows the XO.:: XO:  Mighty fine specimen here, just as good as one of them Klingon vessels.  Of course they charge an arm and a leg for it.

Host HCO_Lyon says:
XO:  We use the walkway of course.  How else do you get around?

Host CO_Lyon says:
::hands over the brush and goes to his seat, trying very hard not to laugh:: CSO: Permission to go to astrometrics granted.

FCO_Toltek says:
::accepts the paintbrush, gives it a momentary look, and puts it in his uniform pocket::

Host XO_Siatty says:
HCO: Do they have Transporters on their versions?

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Thank you sir. :: winks at the joke.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
::sighs a bit:: Self: Vulcans... no sense of humor. Oh well, I tried.

CMO_Starr says:
::starts to giggle at the FCO's expression after the CO gave him his "official" paint brush::  FCO: Welcome aboard.

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: You could have at least given him a bigger brush. ::smiling::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Exits the bridge and enters the TL. TL: Astrometrics

Host CO_Lyon says:
::grins over his shoulder:: CTO: And spoil the fun?

Host HCO_Lyon says:
XO:  Huh, a transporter is a big truck.

CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CO:  I gather you didn't see the wink he just gave you ::grinning::~~~~

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Fun? Always picking on us FCO's.

CEO_Terumo says:
:: exits the TL and enters Main Engineering, noticing a change on the status board ::

HOPS_Jones says:
HCO:  Capy, this place is boring, when can we go home.  ::starts to blow another bubble::

CEO_Terumo says:
*CO*: Warp core online, Sir.

FCO_Toltek says:
CMO: Thank you ma'am. ::returns his seat to facing the view screen, trying to make sense of the exchange that just happened::

Host HCO_Lyon says:
HOPS:  After the moonshine sugarplum.

Host XO_Siatty says:
HCO: Here we are, the Briefing Room.  Let me just let the Captain know we've arrived.  *CO*: We're entering the Briefing room, sir.

HOPS_Jones says:
::sighs::

Host HXO_Siatty says:
::Fingers the lights on the walls as he walks, slyly checking if any of it will "come loose" easy.::

Host CO_Lyon says:
*XO*: Understood. I'll be there now. ::gets up:: All/*CEO*: To the briefing room, please.
