Host CO_Ayidee says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10605.07.  Our new guest has decided to break containment, although whether that's due to him being a plant or to being scared by something he saw we don't know.  I'm having to assume the worst for the moment, although Security has been reminded that Phasers stay on Light Stun.

Host Johnnie says:

Host Johnnie says:
::running through the tubes as quickly as he can, looking for an exit or hiding place, knowing if their sensors are working he won't have long::

OPS_Nash says:
::on bridge::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: enters the bridge from the TL with a PADD in his hand, several course correction notations already crossed off as he moves towards his station. ::

SO_Masters says:
::At Science station 2 reviewing the latest readings from the sensor arrays::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: In sickbay, at a Biobed scanning the Admiral's head, frowning to herself::

CEO_Bishara says:
::in engineering doing diagnostics as her teams begin their physical search of the computer and propulsion systems::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sitting at his console pulling up data on our next search system. Also tracking our guests movements with internal sensors.::

Host Adm_Alexander says:
::moans, then flutters her eyelids, but not regain consciousness::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: runs her Tricorder down the Admiral's body, taking notes as she goes::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::sitting in her quarters getting ready for a decent rest as she isn't ready for the next shift::

SO_Masters says:
::Turns and nods at Hazzard from his station::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: takes a seat at the FCO station and begins to tap in several key combinations. :: SO: Glad to see you back on bridge duty, Ensign...I know Astrophysics can be a boring duty rotation for some.

CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: Wells to Bishara.

CEO_Bishara says:
*EO*: Saunders have you found anything at all?

CEO_Bishara says:
*CNS*: Bishara here. Go ahead.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: glances up:: Nurse Bracket: 2ccs impedrazine. :; garbs an osteogenic stimulator::

CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: I thought you had a plan to help me find this kid?

CNS_Wells says:
::Bangs his head, again on the low ceiling in the JT::

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  A small bump begins to rise on the CNS's forehead, with a light bruise appearing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Lieutenant Hazzard, with Chief Rain missing, I could use your assistance at Tactical, if you have someone who can cover the Helm.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Finds a system named Beringaria that looks to be a trading system that is a little more upscale than this last one. Sends the coordinates to flight control and awaits the Captain's return.::

CEO_Bishara says:
*CNS*: I am and you should have the program now in your Tricorder.  You should be able to find the kid using your Tricorders.

SO_Masters says:
::Shrugs:: CTO: It was definitely a change of pace, but thank you.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
SO: No sweat...it was getting boring up here without ya.

CNS_Wells says:
::Tries to reach his Tricorder:: *CEO*: Thanks, I guess....if I could...only....reach....Ahhh, Got it.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO: Scotty. you done staring at the map?  I know how much you like staring at the stars. but were gonna have to pick one soon.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: takes the Hypospray and administers the drug, scans her head again, to see if it's helped with the head trauma before continuing to patch her patient up::

Host Johnnie says:
::wonders if he will ever find an exit, then as if by magic, a door is 3 meters in front of him::

SO_Masters says:
::Smiles:: CTO: Really? that's not what I heard... ::Quietly turns back to station::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO* : Understood sir...I'll get right on it.

CEO_Bishara says:
<EO Saunders> *CEO*: So far so good, sir.  Nothing yet will continue the manual inspection.

CNS_Wells says:
::Taps into the CEO's new program on his Tricorder to see what he can see::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Got a promising system named Beringaria which is about 2 light years away. Coordinates sent to flight control.

OPS_Nash says:
::still awaiting permission to depart from Planetary Control::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: Grins and taps his badge :: *FCO*: Lt. Rochelle, this is Lt. Hazzard, we need you on the bridge ASAP.  Sorry about this but Captain's orders.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::hears her Commbadge:: *CTO*: Rochelle here.  On my way sir.
::jumps into a new uniform grabs her nutrition bar and heads for the TL::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: jumps from his station as the standby officer takes the helm for a moment. :: *FCO*: Yeah, Captain just drafted me in Operation Day Care.  I need someone I can trust to handle the helm for a while.

Host Johnnie says:
::reaching for the panel opening, that had looked like a door, he opens it and sees a small crawl space... looking around he enters it::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: checks Admiral’s blood oxygen level, white blood cells, etc:: Self: This is like fixing a broken doll... :: sets to work repairing broken ribs::

CNS_Wells says:
::Finds a signal and assumes its the boy. Continues along tracking signal:: SELF: Great a doctrine in psychology and I'm reduced to a Bassett hound.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: takes the CTO board and immediately starts to filter out heat sources to locate the errant child. :: CSO: Scotty, feed me your sensor data from decks 5 through 15.  Gonna try and hem the little bugger in and steer him towards the search parties.

FCO_Rochelle says:
Self: This is what I was waiting for.  Now I get to fly once again the best ship in the fleet.

CEO_Bishara says:
::continues the diagnostics::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Data on Decks 5 through 15 at your request.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::the TL stops on the bridge and she walks over to the flight control console::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: Hey Doc, stand by, gonna start enacting intruder protocols on your levels to steer the boy your way.  Just don't freak out down there.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO: Thanks, Sco...Commander.  Gotta watch that.

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  Unknown to the boy or the ships sensors, the boy has chosen a panel with heat signatures that will cover his.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CTO: Lieutenant Rochelle Ready to relieve you sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Continue with your current tasks.  Once we're clear to depart, get us under way.  I'm headed to assist the Counselor, see if he could use a bit of climbing speed down there.

CNS_Wells says:
SELF: I can't tell if I'm catching up or not...::Taps side of Tricorder:: ...looks like he's still moving.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: bites lip as she works away like a busy little bee::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: You have the Bridge until either I return or until Commander Worthington gets back.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: starts to correlate the data from the CSO and from his own sensors. :: FCO: I stand relieved.  Go fly my ship and try not to scratch the paint. :: gives her a wink to let her know he's kidding.

CNS_Wells says:
*CTO*: I lost the signal.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir. Sir, were losing our lock on the boy.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO: Alright, now we factor in near human DNA genome readings with the heat.  Gives us a two vector search.  :: taps in the new variable to the search pattern and engages the scan search. ::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: I'm losing him.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: stand by doc, gonna send you some new readings.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::smirks:: CTO: I have flown just about every Starfleet ship there is sir.  This is no different sir.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO:  Use the transporter.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: sets down her osteogenic stimulator and rescans chest cavity::

CNS_Wells says:
SELF: I gotta get outta here. ::Finds an exit and comes out of the JT's::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Too much interference for adequate lock.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO: Use the transporter's buffer record from when we beamed him aboard. should give us a signature to compare errant readings to.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: He won't get far, there's no exit he can take.  Question is now if he's hiding or looking to throw wrenches into the works.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::sits and enters the coordinates::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CO: Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll short out a panel...if he fries himself we don't have to look for him.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Bridge.::  *CNS*: I'm on my way to assist, what deck are you on?

CNS_Wells says:
*CTO*: Stand? Yeah I'll give it a try. ::Stands and stretches out the kinks in his back then, rubs his head::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CSO: Course laid in sir.

CEO_Bishara says:
::patiently waits for more reports to come in:

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: taps in the new search pattern and has the scanner look for traces that resemble the pattern lock from the transporter records.::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Too much heat readings, going to try getting a lock on that unique DNA of his.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: frowns, goes over a bit again and rescans:: Self: and that, ladies and gentlemen is how you do...that. :: grabs a dermal regenerator and starts on the nasty welt on the Admiral's head::

CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Execute upon clearance from Planetary Control..

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO: That’s why I asked for the transporter buffer records.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Ummm, good question. 

CSO_Nash says:
:: Transfers the transporter buffer data to Tactical.:: CTO: There it is.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: Your on Deck 7 Forward compartment, Jeffries tube 35-a

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::begins to mumble, and one clear word can be heard:: Self: T'Sara...

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: Would you like your horoscope and lucky numbers too?  :: chuckles ::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CTO: And you said this was a flying bucket?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
FCO: Heh, fly it for a little longer than five minutes.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks around:: *CO*: I'd say I was on deck 7, forward section, I think.

CNS_Wells says:
*CTO*: No just an ice pack.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: factors in the transporter data and runs another scan of the inner workings of the ship ::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: raises an eyebrow:: Self: Who? *CO*: Captain, report on the Admiral for you. Starting to come 'round. :: glances down at her patient::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CTO: I have been flying something more worse looking that the modifications here and well I dare say that this handles better that the last one I had.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: On my way.  ::Steps in Turbo Lift, requesting Deck 7, forward section.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CNS/CO* : Okay. tying in your Tricorders to the ship wide search I'm conducting...should be able to zero in on the little ankle biter in a few minutes. ::

CEO_Bishara says:
*EO Saunders*: Report please.  Any thing out of place?

CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: I don't think your gadget is working anymore.

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  Permission is granted to leave orbit of Dorian IV.  As the ship leaves, a groaning sound can be heard in the engineering department.

CEO_Bishara says:
*CNS*: Blasted!!!!

CSO_Nash says:
:: Hears the groaning sound.:: *CEO*: What's going on down there?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits TL and enters Jeffries Tubes, moving towards the Counselor's position.::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: leans down and opens one of the Admiral's eyes, checking if her pupils are now responding to light.:: Adm: Admiral Alexander?

CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: My thought exactly.

CEO_Bishara says:
*CSO*: Groaning sir?

CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Full stop.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: continues to fine tune the search, focusing the sensors on locating the young man.  Keeping an eye out for any panel malfunctions that might indicate the travel of the young man. ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Where...where am I? :;trying to raise her hand to shield the light coming into her eyes::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::brings the lumbering ship to a full stop using the RCS thrusters to stop her::

SO_Masters says:
::Cringes and holds on somewhat protectively to his station::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO: Too bad we can flood the ship with anesthezine gas.  Would make the search a lot easier on us.

CNS_Wells says:
::Makes way to a main corridor so the CO can find him::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CSO: Sir ship is at full stop.

Host Johnnie says:
::is listening so hard, his ears hurt::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: A sound plan, but I would hate to explain that to our Captain. :: Would hate to be on the receiving end of a dressing down from an angry Cait Captain.::

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  The CO's Tricorder picks up the DNA of the child.

CEO_Bishara says:
<EO Saunders> *CEO*: So far nothing to report.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: takes the light away:: Adm: You're on the Serenity. Now, sit still, I'm not finished here yet.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: continues to knit her forehead together::

CSO_Nash says:
*EO*: Is everything alright in Engineering?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  You have to be joking.  I don't think I will move for another 30 years.  My head, ribs, and various other things are hurting.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Nice day for Hide and Seek.  ::Hears the Tricorder beep.::  CNS: Looks like he's close, though.  ::Slips towards the signal.::

CEO_Bishara says:
*CSO*: Yes sir everything is fine so far my teams and diagnostics come up negative on sabotage.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: closes off access to other decks as he tracks the CO's position...cutting off the child's variable exit routes, routing him towards the CO. ::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CSO: Your orders sir?

CNS_Wells says:
::Follows CO:: CO: I don't know why the kid ran off, I thought we were doing so well.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: listens, and smiles a little bit. patients seem to like when doctors do that:: Adm: You're in safe hands. :: finishes up with the forehead:: Adm: You'll be tender for a while with those ribs. I suggest you lay off the heavy activity, if possible.

CSO_Nash says:
*CEO*: Then we can proceed to our destination?

CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Let's see what the CEO says.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Thank you Doctor.  How is the FCO?

CEO_Bishara says:
*CSO*: Yes we can proceed.  I will be the first one to let you know if we find anything.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Don't know either, did he say anything before he left?  ::Looking ahead for signs of the child.::

Host Johnnie says:
::knows he hears footsteps, but cannot get out of this panel::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Not really, he objected to remaining behind with...Ummm...Pat?

CSO_Nash says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged. 
FCO: Proceed on course at designated speed.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain. I’ve sealed off all exits from your deck location, should be able to corner the little guy from where you are.  Let me know if you need me to use the intruder protocols.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CSO: Understood sir. Resuming course to nearest planet that is populated sir Warp 4 only.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Pat?  Why would Pat freak him out?  Pat's a bit confusing, but not what I'd call scary or disagreeable.

CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Engage.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Excellent, we're moving closer I think.  Good thing is, if this was sabotage, he's in poor place for it.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I guess Johnnie would disagree with you, Sir. I think he is just scared.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::executes the course and speed and the ship begins to move slowly at first but picks up the speed::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Roger that sir.

Dr_Stadi says:
Adm: Your FCO is fine. He's back on duty. You know, it may not seem like it, but he saved your life. :: fixes a few odd bruises that are left as she speaks::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Fear is common, we just need to figure out what exactly he's afraid of.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Doc, this is Lt. Hazzard.  Any news of how the Admiral is doing?

Dr_Stadi says:
Adm: and all he has to show for it is a pink medical gown. Couldn't exactly put that alongside your commendations, could you?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes, Sir. This must be all to confusing for a ten year old boy.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  I will remember that when I am not hurting so badly.  Any chance you could give a general pain killer?  I wouldn't normally ask, but I hurt all over.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves over to the center seat as we are away and the CTO is coordinating with the CO and CNS.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: looks over to where the CSO is sitting in the center seat and grins. :: CSO: You know you look like an adult trying to sit in a high chair in that seat.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: smiles and nods, grabbing a hypo of trianaline and giving the ADM a small dose:: Adm: That should do it. ::hears CTO's comm:: *CTO*: She's up and about, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves forward, almost prowling looking into corners and panels.::  CNS: I would hope so, especially one who I doubt ever left the surface of a fairly under developed world.  A new ship can be confusing to an experience crew member if they switch ships.

FCO_Rochelle says:
Self: Ha and he tells me that this ship is hard to handle?

FCO_Rochelle says:
::trims the pitch and readjust the heading by two degrees port::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Any chance you can sedate her again, we were having such a good time and we were gonna throw a party.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Duly noted, but the situation calls for it sometimes. And no I don't need any oatmeal. Just coffee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I hear something, behind this panel.  What's the human phrase, Olly Olly Cow Free or something like that?  ::Reaches for the panel.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Perhaps, this time I should stay with him. That is unless you feel he needs more...confinement?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Oxen, I believe, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We'll see, and thanks.  Hear the phrase from time to time, but never really joined in all the human games.  Not even that one foggy, Christmas Eve.  ::Starts pulling the panel off.::

Dr_Stadi says:
Adm: Any better now? :: runs another cranial scan, just to make sure::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Thank you!  ::sighs::  That is much better.  If you don't mind, I think a will take a nap.  I am rather tired.  :closes her eyes and is fast asleep::

Host Johnnie says:
::is back against the wall, and can move no further::

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles at CO:: CO: Yes, Sir.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: sighs:: Self: I'd be lucky if I got a pink dress myself, all the proper thanks I get... :: leaves the Adm to sleep. She's obviously had a hard day::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: If you're in there, it's the Captain.  You in there, or do we have rodents?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: continues to monitor the search from his station. :: CSO: Coffee is for the weak.  You really should switch over to tea.

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  Yes.  But don't let that animal near me!  ::then with all his bravery, he begins to cry::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::trims the pitch as the nose drops 15 degrees down::

SO_Masters says:
CTO: Tea? How French

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Hey doc, thanks for watching over her.  She's real special to all of us.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: It's just mister Garrison and myself, but what's wrong with Pat?  Pat's a good person, if anything too friendly at times.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
SO: Bite your tongue, frog cutter!  Nothing wrong with a good strong cup of Green Tea.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::brings up the nose once again 15 degrees and brings the Serenity around 12 degrees to port to correct the heading::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Tea? I'd rather have a stim shot right about now, but I settle on the next best thing and that's coffee for me.

Host Johnnie says:
CO: Noooooooo ::as his voice fades::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Johnnie?

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  The boy passes out from fear and exhaustion.

Dr_Stadi says:
*CTO*: My pleasure.  Lieutenant, while I have you, how are you feeling yourself?  You might want to book in for a check-up over the coming days.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I think something’s wrong, Sir. Should I go in after him?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles :: CSO/SO: Speaking of which, you two guys planning on attending the poker game in a few nights, I need some suckers to collect some credits from.  And you guys were the first names I thought of.

SO_Masters says:
Self: Frog cutter?  CTO: Tea has no taste.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: Did...
CNS: It appears it was Pat that caused the problem.  I can reach him though.  ::Reaches in and tries to lift the boy out.::

CEO_Bishara says:
::finishes the diagnostics finally and everything is 100% normal::

SO_Masters says:
CTO: Poker, does Starfleet regs allow such things onboard ships? ::frowns::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: No thanks, ma'am.  I've spent more than my fair share in sickbay over the last few hours.  I think I'll just pass on that offer.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
SO: Consider it a moral building event.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO/SO: My morale will improve from collecting both of your credits.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Good thing he's so small, though.  Even at 10, a normal sized youth might be a lot harder to get out of here.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Poker? Sounds like an Academy challenge, and I was the best Texas Hold 'Em player in my class.

CNS_Wells says:
::Helps CO lift boy out::

SO_Masters says:
CTO: I suppose I can donate to your new dress fund. ::Smiles pleasantly::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CSO: That’s because I wasn't in your class.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: does a bit of tidying up, since it's nice and quiet at the moment::

CEO_Bishara says:
*CTO*: You will be happy to know that all diagnostics are clean and 100% normal.  Oh and how are you with tea?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
SO: dress fund, that’s funny.  :: grins and shakes his head. ::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: I'll take you up on that no limit challenge then.

OPS_Nash says:
::Kyleigh hears that and chuckles to herself::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: I was just having a discussion with the coffee swilling barbarians up here.  I could really use a cup about now.

CEO_Bishara says:
*CTO*: You drink tea?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Thanks.  Question still needs to be asked, though.  Was he running from Pat, or using Pat as an excuse to do something else?  He seems honest, but I'm not much of a mind reader in reality, even when I know the person.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: Yep. I prefer green tea.  Helps me when I feel meditative and all.

SO_Masters says:
CTO: Though we shall see who will take who at poker, me and my grandparents used to play quite a bit of cards on the farm. You might just be surprised. ::Winks::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
SO/CSO: I'll get you guys the details and the when’s and the where’s.

CEO_Bishara says:
*CTO*: Well we have something in common I drink tea all varieties.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: We found him, and it looks like he was just running scared.  Still, just to be safe, send a team to search this location for signs of sabotage.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: gets an evil grin on his face and smiles. :: *CEO*: Well then, we'll have to dip our leaves into a cup one of these days.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: tidy, tidy, tidy::

CNS_Wells says:
::Does a med check on the boy:: CO: He's passed out. I think he'll be ok.  We can't really trust him but until we know otherwise we have to believe he's running on fear.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Doctor, this is the Captain, we're on our way down with the youth I took back from the planet.  We should be there shortly.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Roger that, Captain.  I've got team Bravo a few meters from your location, I'll have them do a sweep of the immediate area. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Picks kid up and follows CO to sickbay::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: listens, nods as if the CO is right in front of her:; *CO*: Understood. we'll be ready.  :: readies a Biobed, and pulls over a trolley of equipment::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Jeffries Tube with the CNS, then enters the Turbo Lift and requests Deck 4.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: So what do you say? you want in on this poker game?

CEO_Bishara says:
*CTO*: Yes that sounds like a plan.  Just name your tea.  As a matter of fact I am just on my way to the bridge now.  Would you like me to bring you a cup of green tea with me?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Not sure what he could have done to the ship. He didn't have anything on him, did he?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: Sounds like a plan to me.  Come on up when you get a chance.

CSO_Nash says:
*CO*: Sorry to interrupt, sir, but we are on course for the Beringaria system at warp 4.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: smiles, enjoying the feel of being behind the Tactical console again. :: CSO: I forgot how much I loved being the CTO.

SO_Masters says:
CSO: We'll have to thank her for asking us if we wanted anything to drink. ::smiles::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: Hey, Kyleigh? You awake over there?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I don't believe he did anything, but I also can't assume I'm right.  Especially with our current mission's antagonist.
*CSO*: Very good, see if you can find what kind of goods they have available for when we arrive so we can try and make good traders.

CEO_Bishara says:
:: walks to her office and gets two mugs and gets the Replicator to give hot water only and she reaches inside her desk to her personal stash of various natural teas and selects a nicely flavored Japanese green tea and an Earl Grey for herself::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  What do you need?

CNS_Wells says:
::Follows CO into sickbay and places boy on the bio bed::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: Was just wondering if you would like to join your hubby and his minion in a little game of No Limit Texas Hold'em

FCO_Rochelle says:
::brings the ship back on course again as it begins to drift to starboard::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits TL and enters Sickbay.::  Dr_Stadi: Doctor, we think the boy fainted from fear, but considering his recent history, it's no more than an uneducated guess.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: nods to Co and CNS as they enter. Whips out her Tricorder:: CO: What happened, exactly?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: I'm feeling we could use a little friendly competition.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  On one condition...

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: I'll bet it does. Oh an by the way, it looks like you got your birthday wish. :: Goes over to the Replicator and orders the CTO's favorite cake.::

OPS_Nash says:
::smiles widely::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: Oh no

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: looks over at the CSO and smiles. :: CSO: Yeah, it looks like I did.

CEO_Bishara says:
::makes the tea and hands engineering over to EO Saunders and heads for the bridge with the teas::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  What?  ::smiles innocently::

CNS_Wells says:
DR: He ran off into the Jeffries Tube's. He passed out. Probably due to stress and lack of nutrition.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Takes him the cake.::

Dr_Stadi says:
CO: Fear? What happened to him? :: scans the young boy, seeing he's very under nourished::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: I've seen that grin.  That’s not a good grin.  Name your terms, Commander.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  You know my terms. Lieutenant.

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks it wouldn't be right to blame Pat so he let's CO answer::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: takes the cake from the CSO and smiles.  Taking a bite out of it and grinning.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: What do I get if I win?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks at the pink frosting on the cake.::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: nods:: CNS: That looks likely. :: gives the child a small dose of glucose::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Doctor: He seemed shaken by my Yeoman.  Strange, Pat is a lot of things, but  I wouldn't call Pat scary.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: I hope strawberry is alright.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: doesn't notice the pink frosting at the moment.::

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  As the sugar enters the child's bloodstream, his vitals begin to look better.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: nods distractedly at the CSO...concentrating on the OPS. ::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  I'll get back to you on that.

CNS_Wells says:
DR/CO: I think he's coming too.

CEO_Bishara says:
::exits the TL and walks over to the CTO as he is eating a piece of cake:: CTO: Sir, here is your tea.  I picked it from my personal stash.  It is a Japanese blend of green tea.  I hope you like it.  ::hands him the mug of steaming tea::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: See that you do, it'll take a lot for me to say yes to that.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: grins as he takes the mug from the CEO. :: CEO: That was pretty fast. DG, are you panting?  You didn't have to rush over here. ::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: gives a very small dose of inimazine, too, to help Johnnie out of his faint:: CO/CNS: His vitals are weak, but stable. Whatever happened, he should be fine now.

CNS_Wells says:
::Is relieved::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: looks down at the cake, just now noticing the pink tree decoration in frosting. :: CSO: Oh, very funny Scott.  A pink tree.

Host Johnnie says:
::begins to come around, then opens his eyes to see another stranger, then focuses on the Captain::  CO:  Don't let that whatever it was near me again, please?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Walks over to the SO and in a conspiratorial tone.:: SO: All that sugar and caffeine in his system should affect his play.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks at the boy then, CO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Dr: Thanks, good work.  I'm going to draw the curtain around the bed.  ::Pulls curtain, shielding the child's view of Sickbay.::

CEO_Bishara says:
::smiles at her nick name:: CTO: Panting not on your life.  But is that pink frosting I see there? ::points to the cake::  Who made the cake?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: OK, but why?  Is there something about Pat we don't know?

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Thought about a Flamingo, but the tree suits you better.

Dr_Stadi says:
:: glances up at the CO, concerned then back at Johnnie:: Johnnie: What did you see, sweetie?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::points over to the CSO and grins.  his fingers tapping several commands on the CTO board.::

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  He is one ::gulps:: of that gang.  He is known for his torturing other creatures.

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  The adrenaline in the boy's system rises.

CEO_Bishara says:
CTO: Oh ok well it figures. ::smiling and walks to her engineering console and opens it up::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Are you sure? ::Looks at CO in surprise not knowing Pat well at all::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: notices the increase on the screen above the boy's head::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sees the look in the CTO's eyes and goes back over to the chair and sits down.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: That's not possible.  I'm sure they can place moles into crews, even Starfleet crews, as if you haven't guessed that's what we are.  But Pat has been aboard either this ship or the one we just left for some time.  Assigned to the person I replaced when I took over First officer, and had the position with him about five years.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::trims the port pitch 10 degrees to starboard and eases the ship back on its original heading::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: There's no way you could have seen Pat on the surface.  It's just physically impossible.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Maybe Pat just looks like someone you knew?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sits in the CO's chair.::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: stands back a little bit, letting the CO ask the questions, but is ready to shoo Ayidee out of sickbay if need be::

Host Johnnie says:
::looks pleadingly at the CMO::  CO:  Honest, it is him!

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: smiles as he finishes what he was doing, paging replacements for the CSO, OPS and the CEO to the bridge.:: CSO/OPS/CEO: May I have your attention for one moment please.

OPS_Nash says:
::looks to the CTO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: OK, either way, you won't have to see Pat again unless you change your mind.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: picks his tea up with one hand and presses one final button. nodding to his standby officer. ::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  You pregnant?

CEO_Bishara says:
::pays attention to her console as the power and readings are.  Turns to look at the CTO::

CSO_Nash says:
::: Looks to the CTO.::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: rests a hand on Johnnie's shoulder lightly::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles...the hum of the transporter beam filling the air as room temperature maple syrup is dumped on the CEO, CSO and the OPS officers. :: All: Never...never cross the CTO.:: chuckles as he dashes into the TL.::

Host Johnnie says:
::not realizing he had done so, he moves close to the CMO, then puts an arm around her waist for protection::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: It will be okay, I'll stay with you, if you like. We can get that ice cream still, if you like?

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees his reaction to CMO:: CO: ...or maybe stay here with the Doctor?

CEO_Bishara says:
::is now dripping in wet maple syrup::  ALL: You know guys this isn't finished.  But it does taste good.

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  No!  You brought him.  I can't trust you.  ::his body begins to shake with fear again, which can visibly been seen by all present::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sits there as the maple syrup covers him and the CO's chair.:: *CTO*: But I'm not the one who has to explain this to the CO.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::turns and looks in disgust::

SO_Masters says:
::looks around the bridge::

Dr_Stadi says:
:: looks a little panicked:: CNS: Your help would be appreciated.

FCO_Rochelle says:
ALL: That man is evil.  ::starts to laugh::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Well, that hurt.

SO_Masters says:
Self: Boy am I glad I was in stellar cartography

OPS_Nash says:
::wiping off the syrup from her face::  CTO:  Treeboy...I'll make sure the Admiral sends you the bill for the this clean up.  And your time is coming when you least expect it.

Dr_Stadi says:
Johnnie: It's ok, sweetheart. You're safe. No-one will hurt you.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: You and I are going to get him yet.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Kneels down to get eye to eye with Johnnie.::  Johnnie: Do you want to leave us, then?  Is the sight of him something that makes the thought of staying unbearable?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: his laughter is halted as he considers what the CSO and OPS just said. :: OPS: And here I thought this would sweeten your disposition.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: By paging Pat, I was just following orders, Johnnie. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  I'm already sweet enough.

Host Johnnie says:
::ponders what the Captain is saying::  CO:  Do you mean I can stay if I want to?  I don't have to go?

CEO_Bishara says:
*CTO*: You are going to pay dearly with this stunt.  But it has sweetened my disposition a bit.  ::laughs evilly::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: I told you, if you helped us or not, I'd help you get to a place where you don't have to fight for your very life.  That promise still stands.  You are safe with us.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CSO: Does he do this all the time?

Host Johnnie says:
::his eyes go very wide, as an adult has never kept a promise to him::

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks at the boy reassuringly::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO/CTO/OPS*: Whenever you ladies wish to take me on, you know where to find me, now if you'll excuse me.  I just got a craving for pancakes.  :: laughs harder as he makes his way to the galley.::

OPS_Nash says:
::thinks of a good revenge for Hazzard's latest prank::

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  I want to stay here with all of you, well except that person that works for the gang.

CSO_Nash says:
*CTO*: Well, you have sweetened me just a tad, but I have been toying with some new ways to humiliate you when the time presented itself. Thank you for the go ahead.
FCO: Only to those he considers his close family.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: I got just the thing for our playful CTO.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  We'll see.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CSO: Well apparently I don't fall in that category .

Host Johnnie says:
