<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Worthington says:
::having successfully completed his studies, he returns to the bridge:: XO: Status report.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::On way to Astrometrics to tie analyzers into the probe attached to the Cait vessel.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::at OPS::

CNS_Wells says:
::On the bridge reading through some files on his console::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::checks over the connections of the chronoton device to the deflector dish::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: Stands up from the Command Chair almost at the same moment the CO enters. :: CO: The Chief Engineer reports that the Chronotron device is ready to be installed to our Deflector Assembly.  Our friends on the planet seem to be preparing to depart.  No sign of Incoming Cardassian Patrols,  and the galley is serving Pot Roast tonight, sir.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: I appreciate you coming down to help out here. I hope it hasn't been too boring for you. I know not everyone shares my enthusiasm for such things. ::smiles::

CO_Worthington says:
CO: Good to hear. ::moves over to the center chair:: Any other activity in the area?

Tactical Officer says:
CO/ XO: No signs on passive scanners, Sirs.  All's quiet on this front.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the Tactical station and reviews the readouts. :: CO: Not as yet, sir.  Seeing as the smugglers below feel its safe to depart, I don't suspect that we will be seeing a patrol soon.  Passive scans are still going on though just in case.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Adding to Cmdr. Hazzard's report, the shuttle from the planet is currently en route to their main ship.  Should be there in mere minutes.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, a suggestion if I may?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: For you? No never. Ah you mean, the tech stuff? Neither that.'

CO_Worthington says:
XO: We need to get ready to move soon. What is the status of the Caitian vessel?  What is it?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::blushes::

CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Engineering reports that the retrofits are minutes away from being complete.  Concerning the Caitian ship.  I actually would like to volunteer to lead that recon into the origin point.  With the Chief engineer and the FCO as well.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Stands up from her completed work::
*XO*: The final connections to the Deflector Assembly are completed sir.

CO_Worthington says:
XO: Sounds reasonable, but I would prefer to have Mr. Ayidee on that vessel instead. He is familiar with her design and layout. The CEO will probably be needed here to assist the CSO. Let me know when you are ready to depart.

CNS_Wells says:
::Listens to the exchange between CO and XO with interest::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins and taps his Combadge. :: *CEO*: Ahead of schedule and good news, wrap up your work and report to the bridge.  Have Ensign Zdunovski report to Cargo Hold 1 and prep the ship for departure.
CO: Understood sir.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*XO*: Right away.

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: How are our guests, better I hope?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CIV*: Commander Ayidee, please report to Cargo Hold 1 and the Lyncis Pride.  I'll be there shortly.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Aye Commander, have the link established on this end.  Will be there in moments.  ::Heads for the Lyncis Pride.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: Well, I'm off to the bridge, and you it seems are needed in Cargo Hold 1, seems you are going on a little trip. Be careful out there okay?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Sir, if we encounter any patrols in our mission we'll try to lead them away from the Cherokee.  There are enough places in the Badlands for us to hide out.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes, Sir. I've taken the liberty of having them moved from Sickbay and into a V.I.P. suite. I figured the new family may be with us awhile and would be more comfortable there.

CO_Worthington says:
XO: Remember Commander, do not do anything that will alter the timeline, that is your main objective. Good luck and god speed.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*FCO/CIV*: Gentlemen, please take civilian clothes on this run, no reason to let them know we're Starfleet if need be.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: Lt Cmdr Hazzard wants the ship prepped for departure. ::frowns a little::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I'll take the speed, never really depend on luck.  Especially mine. :: tosses a jaunty salute to the CO as he steps into the Turbolift. ::

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Excellent idea, least we could do in the situation.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: Uhm... Yes. I'll follow you, just go ahead.

CIV Ayidee says:
::Gets to the Lyncis Pride and Replicates a new set of clothes.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CEO* : By the way, just in case I didn't say so.  Well done with the quick work.  Just thought you should get some of the credit.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Makes her way to the Turbo Lift and waits::

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: How is the general mood on board?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*XO*: Thank you sir.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: We've been in worse before. This seems to be evident in the dispositions of the crew.  They are fine, Sir.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes the TL down to the Cargo Hold, walking briskly over to the ship and entering, taking time to replicate a familiar set of civilian clothes, duster, boots, leather pants and linen shirt.  Taking time to change in one of the small crew compartments on board. ::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Steps into the Turbo Lift and requests to be taken to the Bridge::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Gets in the Lyncis Pride and checks the connection with the ship's computer.::

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: They are the best crew in the fleet, but sometimes I worry about a few of them.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: The only thing I'm a bit concerned about now is what is going to be going on on board the Caitian ship. 

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: turns to the CIV as he finishes getting dressed. :: CIV: I hope the boys in Engineering did a good enough job on this crate.

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Tio will keep them straight, we can count on that.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Good call putting him on the Away Team, Sir.

CIV_Ayidee says:
XO: I may be out of practice with the actual operation of ship systems, but I still know enough of the crew to make sure good ones did the work.  Most worried about the link to the ship.  CPU on board can't handle the detailed analysis this job may require.

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Now we just have to hope the CSO is ready and then we can get this show on the road.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sits down at the navigation station, checking to make sure the navigation data from both the Cherokee and the Pride during the time shift are loaded into the portable data storage units connected to the ship's less then sophisticated console. ::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Feels the TL come to a stop and steps out onto the Bridge, looking around, as the doors open::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: I would have rather had the Chief Engineer on board to catch any spatial anomalies that might point to what happened out there to get us here.  But I'm wagering your eyes will be pretty sharp on that factor.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes, I think I've had enough of this neighborhood.  Not much to see here. It's definitely time to go home.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*OPS*: Commander, Real time check of communication link from Pride to Cherokee.  Relay Actual Theta, online.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
Self: Been a while since I have been up here.

Host CIV_Ayidee says:
XO: You're in luck there, that's Theoretical Astrophysics.  Can't get out of practice in theoretical.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Besides, I'm dying to find out what is going on in the LoDuca trial. We are missing all the good stuff being here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*XO*:  Understood.  Ready when you are.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*FCO*: Ensign, were waiting on you on board.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS/CO:  If I didn't know better, I swear he had this planned by having one of his minions pull it off.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Don't even think that.  I don't want us to go there. 

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: Start pre flight check list until the Ensign gets here.  We can't waste too much time as it is.

CIV_Ayidee says:
XO: Understood, beginning pre flight.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I don't want to but ... well you know.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Don't give him any more credit than he deserves.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: I was asked to report to the bridge sir.

CO_Worthington says:
OPS/CNS: Hopefully they will finish him off quick, don't want his crazy infected anyone else.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: leans back in his chair, taking a few deep breaths as he waits for the rest of his team to arrive.

CO_Worthington says:
CEO: Yes Ensign, I need you to work with the CSO and make sure he has all the power he needs for the Borg device, I don't care where it comes from.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: perks back up as the console reports the successful results of the communication link test. :: CIV: Alright.  Comms are up and functional.  We've got the flight logs from both us and the Pride to compare to what we find.  All we need is our pilot and were set.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: You know, Sir. I've been following this case and I'm still in close contact with Miss Chase.  She says there is a strong possibility that some one from the Cherokee may be called to testify.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: Aye Sir  ::nods::

CIV_Ayidee says:
XO: And the link with the ship is secure.  No guarantees how long it will last with the local spatial conditions, however.

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Well when we get back, they will have all the volunteers they could ask for.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Leaves the dish area, and makes his way over to the Cait ship. Rushing as fast as he can and arrives within a few minutes.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Laughs:: CO: Yes, Sir.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV:  Think positively, Tio.  :: smiles as the FCO rushes in. ::

CO_Worthington says:
CEO: One more thing Ensign, you have done great work, I just wanted to let you know that I have taken notice of it. Keep it up.

CNS_Wells says:
::Goes back to his reading giving the CEO fair time with the Captain::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Good to see you Ensign.  Grab yourself some civilian duds and take your station at the helm.

CIV_Ayidee says:
XO: Worst condition is we need to take it back before analyzing.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: Thank you sir. I appreciate the praise.

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinking - They make a nice couple::

CIV_Ayidee says:
XO: Isn't that cross that bridge?

CO_Worthington says:
CEO: You've earned it Ensign. Now let's get back home.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::smiles::  CO: Of course sir.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: We all set on pre-flight?

CIV_Ayidee says:
XO: Aye, all we need now is clearance.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
XO: Yes sir. Me too. Helm? A there I have found it.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles at the FCO and shakes his head. :: *CO*: Captain, Lyncis Pride is ready for departure.

CO_Worthington says:
::nods to OPS:: *XO*: Well then, don't let the Ensign scratch the hull. Good luck.

CNS_Wells says:
CEO: Ensign Pasco, nice to see you on the bridge. Why don’t you sit in Mr. Hazzard's chair?   I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

CIV_Ayidee says:
FCO: Remember, this thing isn't up to Starfleet Specs.  Rated for Warp 5, but not too comfortable with the field at that level.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Frowns an eyebrow at the XO, but sits down and makes himself familiar with the console systems.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Understood.  Hull secured, open Cargo Hold Doors.

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks - and it's next to the CO's chair::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CIV: What? Warp 5?  Oops, sorry.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Take us out nice and slow on maneuvering thrusters, then once clear of the ship's perimeter, set course for 210 mark 5.  Warp Three.  Nice and easy.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Starts up all the systems. Gets loose from the ground::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CNS: Uh. Thanks, but I really should catch up with the data that the CSO has been reviewing. ::shuffles her feet uncomfortably::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
XO: We float. Ready to take him out.

CNS_Wells says:
CEO: As Counselor I say you need a break. Sit.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@FCO: Wait for the doors to open first.  Captain gets a bit grouchy when we scratch the hull.  Especially from the inside.

CNS_Wells says:
CEO: Catch your breathe.  Oxygen is so beneficial to the thinking process.

Host aSM_Steve says:
Action: Bay Doors open, revealing the end of the last Ion Storm giving it's last, dying breath.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@FCO: Proceed with maneuvering thrusters, Ensign.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::smiles uncomfortably and sits on the edge of the XO's chair::
CNS: Well, if you insist, just for a moment.

CNS_Wells says:
CEO: Thank you.  

CO_Worthington says:
::wonders why the CEO is sitting in the XO's chair, but ignores it for the time being::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Captain, wouldn't you like to hear more about the Ensign's work with Commander Nash?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Looks about, all the things she needs to get done running through her head, impatient to get back to work::

CO_Worthington says:
::looking up from his reports:: CEO: How is the testing going?

@CIV_Ayidee says:
FCO: Scanners show the space is clear, not enough energy even to threaten a ship like this.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: watches as the FCO takes the ship out of the Cherokee's maneuvering perimeter, then engages the impulse engines before going to warp. ::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Maybe you have time to go and take a look at what they've been doing yourself, Sir. Not a bad idea and not much happening here.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: We have had the device up and running at full power sir, and have connected it to the Deflector Assembly.  We are just waiting on any further data the CSO can glean from the reports he is looking over.

CIV_Ayidee says:
@XO: Link is weakening, but still strong enough.  Would be easier if we could increase the power output, but that will be seen too far.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::slowly moving out of the ship and taking a secure distance.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CIV: Tio, just in case we get spotted by patrols, you're going to be our speaking voice.  We'll just be your employees.  Fits with the Caitian ship owner image.

CNS_Wells says:
::Not taking his eyes off his console much and really enjoying himself::

Host CIV_Ayidee says:
@::Nods.::  XO: Understood, got knocked off course a bit by a Nacelle malfunction.  Working our way back to Federation space now.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@XO: We are on a save distance now.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@FCO: Keep it slow and steady.  At this speed, what’s our ETA to our origin point in this time period?

CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Perhaps I shall, let me know if you here from the XO. You have the bridge.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Cool, I mean, aye, Sir.

CO_Worthington says:
CEO: Care to show me the way? ::points to the TL::

Host CIV_Ayidee says:
@FCO: Point of entry is currently at bearing 010 Mark 10.  25 minutes at current speed.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@XO: Yes sir, I did not have the intention to make a cart race to it.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: Certainly.  ::smiles and stands up, heading towards the TL::

CNS_Wells says:
::Watches the two go thinking, "I'm good"::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
XO: Sir? Do you want me to fly to the entry point?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@FCO: Didn't think you did.  Although its kind of a shame.  Some mark 5 impulse thrusters and a few modifications to the inertial dampeners would really make this a fun ship to fly. ::grins as he leans back in his chair. ::

CO_Worthington says:
::holds the TL for the CEO:: CEO: Any chance the Borg device will back feed into the deflectors emitters?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@XO: I have some extra info for you. The warp field is a bit outside the normal, but it is still in a safe range.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: So, what's new with you Mrs. Nash?  How can I make your day better?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@FCO: Yes...get us as close to the original entry point as you can.  
CIV: How's our area of space.  Any lookey-loos about?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  My day will be better when we are back in our time.

CIV_Ayidee says:
@XO: Nothing on sensors so far.  Neither ships nor anomalies.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Steps into the TL::
CO: There is always a chance sir, however Commander Nash and I have kept the device as simple as possible to reduce any such risks.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Sets course to the entry point. Impulse speed.:: XO: Set course and speed is impulse speed.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CIV: Maybe were not looking for the right thing.  Not an anomaly, but signs of artificial manipulation.  Maybe were not the first person to think of using the Borg device?  Did anyone really think of that?

CO_Worthington says:
CEO: What kind of radiation will it output? Do you think that will be a danger?

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Agreed. But, until then we must look on the bright side, if that don't work we'll eat something chocolate, that always helps.

Host CIV_Ayidee says:
@XO: Possible, but so far no evidence of it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  No thanks on the chocolate.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: Theta wave emission would be below .5 parts per billion, well within standard...and enhanced electron collision would not be a factor.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Well now, that's sad.

CO_Worthington says:
CEO: Looks like you have done your homework. I don't even know why I would ever worry. ::smiles::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@FCO:  Are there any signs of any other vessels traveling through this area of space.  Disturbed Warp field signatures,  Particle remnants?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Moves away from the Cherokee. The Cherokee is soon a small spot on the horizon.::
XO: Not that I can see sir.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: I think it is natural sir to have concerns. We are trying something a little out of the box. Well, a lot out of the box. ::smiles::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CIV: What am I missing, Tio?  The answer is out there.  I just need to figure out the right question.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@XO: We can only spot the Cherokee, and they see us.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: You don't like chocolate?

CO_Worthington says:
CEO: Well at least it is good to know that I have a CEO who I don't have to worry about.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Now I didn't say that.  I just like other confections out there.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: What is your number one favorite pleasure food?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Caramel.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: I appreciate your confidence in me sir.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@FCO: Keep your eyes peeled for anything that catches your interest.  Something doesn't fit here and I mean to find it.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@XO: Entry point will soon visible on the viewer. Yes I will carefully look at the monitor.
