Host XO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 10902.01, Commander Ayidee recording.  The Ambassador's troubles with the distance of communication and the resultant delays are being worked on as we speak in the Holodeck.  With any luck, he'll soon be back in what his people consider comfort, no matter how insane that comfort seems to some of us.

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

Host Amb_Merlot says:
::In Holodeck, still dealing as best as possible with the delays, but hopeful it will soon be over.::

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
:: At the bridge. Busy checking for other routes. Close to relay stations.::

CNS_Wells says:
::In the Holodeck with the Ambassador.  A comfy viewing area in center, surrounded by four walls of views screens, hopefully will help Merlot deal with his discomfort and loneliness::

EO_O-Shea says:
::At the Holodeck. Walking around like a chicken without a head.:: Self: They want a solution? From me? Why me? I do not understand. Perhaps because I am the EO at service now?  Must be.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the Ambassador and CNS on the Holodeck::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Taylor>  ::at OPS::

Host Amb_Merlot says:
CNS/ OPS: The setting is nice at least.  I hope the interface can work half as well as it looks.

MO_Monroe says:
::In Holodeck monitoring the Ambassadors vital signs and standing by, if needed::

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: That is our hope as well, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
AMB:  Have faith, it will work.  If not, I'll be sure to let my staff know how I am feeling on that matter.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: How soon do you think it will be before we can give it a try?  Are the test simulations completed?

EO_O-Shea says:
::Sees the ambassador and starts nodding friendly. But because of nervousness he hardly gets his head stop shaking.:: Amb: Hello, hello, hello. I lost my mind I guess. Going behind the scene I guess.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
OPS: I have seen enough of your technology to believe it is possible.  I'm just wondering how it will feel.

EO_O-Shea says:
CNS: Hello Counselor. Nice to see you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  According to Lt. Tiernan, all simulations have been successful.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
EO Isn't your mind inside your head?  I thought that's where humans kept them.  ::Smiles.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
AMB:  We won't know how it feels until you try it.

CNS_Wells says:
EO: Mr. O'Shea.  Relax. Is everything nearly ready?

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
XO: Sir I have re-arranged the route so, that we closely pass the relay stations. Yet I think we need more to listen around here, as the enemy likes these stations as well.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
OPS/ CNS: What information will you be implanting to fill in the blanks?

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Well then, I'll let you take over and I think we should give it a go.

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: If you are ready, Sir?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
FCO: We'll be fine.  We're a small warship, but still a warship.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS/AMB:  Well, then I was thinking about our current events channel.  That way you will have a better understanding on the goings on in our corner of the universe.

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: Mostly transmissions from the Entertainment and news media from all over the Federation airways.

EO_O-Shea says:
CNS: You are so right sir. But I am highly excited that I am asked to be here, where the ambassador is. I am not stupid. Else ... well sigh, I would not have been asked here I guess?

Host Amb_Merlot says:
CNS: I am...we are hoping this works so I won't be the only one to make it out of our system.

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
XO: Was just a suggestion sir. ::Big Smile::

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: If it does work, I'm sure a need for this technique will prove useful to your people in the future.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Never hurts to make preparations.

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
::Nods:: XO: It is odd, just the two of us sitting here, while the other crew is somewhere else.  On the other hand it is good to know the backup crew.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
CNS: It will be essential, unless I am just less resilient than my people.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Then I think we are ready to proceed.  You may begin, Commander.

Host TO-Hittem says:
::backup huh?  He'll think backup if tactical is needed.  I hate to admit it, but Kilbrowski is right, we are just peons until needed::

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: Why don't we sit and be comfortable.  ::Leads AMB to the comfy chairs::

Host TO-Hittem says:
Sec Teams:  Security teams report in, you are past your due time.  ::begins to tap her fingers::

MO_Monroe says:
:: Places a cortical device on the Ambassador::  AMB: This shouldn't hinder your experience any, Sir.  It is just a precaution.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
::Follows the Counselor and sits.::  MO: I understand, this is new to you as well.

Host TO-Hittem says:
<Sec1> *TO*:  All quiet down here Lieutenant.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Computer:  Computer, begin Merlot Gossip 001.  ::the computer activates a rebroadcast of the Kandi Chase show where Paul LoDuca got his just desserts.::

MO_Monroe says:
Amb: Yes, it is but, charting new territory seems to be what this is all about, isn't it?

Host Amb_Merlot says:
OPS: I can hear it, but it's a bit low.  Like my antenna link isn't operating.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
AMB:  No problem.  I'll just turn it up for you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Computer:  Computer, raise volume by 4.  ::the computer turns up the volume to a better level.::

EO_O-Shea says:
::Is settling a bit down to a more normal mode, after staring to the wall for quite some time.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Watches as OPS does her thing with the program::

Host Amb_Merlot says:
OPS: I think it's not so much the level, it's kind of...not blocked, but crowded in bursts.  Good for a few seconds, then it goes down and mumbled for a few.

EO_O-Shea says:
::Turns around and looks to a screen with a program selected by OPS.::

ACTION:  A horrible piercing feedback is heard by the Ambassador!

Host Amb_Merlot says:
::Doubles over a bit.:: OPS: It just kicked in overly strong.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Computer: Computer, Pause Program.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Can we fix that?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
AMB:  Sorry about that.  ::looks around::  Looks like a couple monitors are too close.

EO_O-Shea says:
::Looks at the Ambassador and OPS. Walks over.:: OPS/Amb: Something wrong?

MO_Monroe says:
:: Checks the AMB medical readings::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  Can you move that monitor over there by a couple meters?

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: I can. Interference?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  Yes, there was some interference.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
EO: Just a glitch, it will work, I am confident.

EO_O-Shea says:
::Walks over to the pointed screen and moves a few meters away from the other. :: OPS: I hope this is sufficient?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Taylor>  ::monitors all the Comm channels.::

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: Perhaps we can add a kind a screen in between the monitors, that block every interference.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  We will see.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Computer: Computer, Resume program.  ::computer resumes::

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: Are you still receiving good from your home planet?

Host Amb_Merlot says:
EO: Yes, in two bursts it seems.

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
TO: Anything unusual at the next beacons we pass?

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: I know where going closer towards the relay stations and beacons. Did this help?

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: By delaying the incoming messages from Berlangi, matching the time variance with the Ambassador’s response.

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: And and and and,... how are the monitors working on you now?

Host TO-Hittem says:
::taps the buttons on her panel::  FCO:  No Sir, all appears normal and the ship traffic all have the correct transponder codes... so far.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: We should be able to use computer to put it all together to make sense to both sides.

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
TO: Thank you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Well, let's see how that will do.

Host TO-Hittem says:
::nods to the FCO.  At least he is polite.  She then gives a small smile in return.::

Host Amb_Merlot says:
EO: I don't think it's the screens.  I think the two signals are interacting.

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
::Saw the TO nod and turns back forward again.::

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: You mean the information of the monitor and the information of your home world?

CNS_Wells says:
EO: Can't we just tell the Holodeck to knock it off?

EO_O-Shea says:
CNS: I wonder what it is, if it is the signal from the monitor itself, then I can try to pitch that down to the lowest and acceptable level of energy.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: I'm out of my league on this techno stuff.  Any suggestions?

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
XO: Did you hear anything about the Holodeck sir?

Host Amb_Merlot says:
OPS: Still getting intermittent interference.  I think the two signals are interfering with each other.

CNS_Wells says:
::Staring at the couple hundred monitors and wondering how the guy does it.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
AMB:  Well, maybe we can turn the matter over to the EO here.
Host  XO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Not yet, but I expect it will not be instantaneous.  They've only been in there half an hour.

EO_O-Shea says:
::Looks at OPS: OPS: Wow I do not want to overstep that huge boundary. But I will offer my assistance.

CNS_Wells says:
EO: I think it is just a matter of adjustments.  Coordination of the Ambassador's implants, to the computer, to the Holodeck and then his home world.  Got that?  ::Smiles:: Now go!

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: As I understand it, it is so that the ambassador is having interference problems. Wow what a word. Um, sorry Madam.

CNS_Wells says:
::Leans back in the comfy reclining chair and waits for the show to begin::

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: Is it so that you are getting old and new messages garbled?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  Believe me, you won't be in the way.  Let's try something, Maybe we can have the computer to have the come in at different intervals from each other, like turn the Holodeck computer off when his signal from home comes in.  There should be an easy way to have the computer do that.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
EO: I think so.

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: I could arrange a special Comm channel, if that helps?

MO_Monroe says:
::Laughs at what the CNS is doing thinking, he does have a way of keeping perspective over a situation:: CNS: You my friend are incorrigible.  ::Smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  You can try.

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: I can have 2 or 3 separate fibers isolated for the ambassador. ::Already walking away and opening a panel.::

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
XO: You are right. They are just there for half an hour.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  Well, do your thing, you have my blessing.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
CNS/MO: He's just trying to lead by example.  Telling me to relax perhaps?

EO_O-Shea says:
:: Works and searches.:: All: Bingo. One Two and where is the other one? ::Grabs inside the panel fetching 2 other fibers and connects them to a new connector.:: All Yup, that is it.

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: Can you check your programs and have the information run over fiber number 912445, 912446, 922445 and 922446?

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: Well, we knew going in this was a new technology.  Invention takes time, trial and error.  We just keep trying, we'll get it.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
CNS: I understand fully.  And it's close, I can feel it.

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: Good. I'm sure your input will help our techs get it, sooner or later.

MO_Monroe says:
All: If not today then, tomorrow.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO: Sure thing.  ::does as suggested::

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: OK, lets ask the Ambassador. Amb: Do you still have those problems? Or is it getting better?

Host Amb_Merlot says:
EO: I think you have it worked out.  It's much better.

CNS_Wells says:
::Trying to focus on only one view screen at a time::

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: do we need to slowdown of the information streams or speedup another one?

Host Amb_Merlot says:
EO: No, I think this is good.  It seems you computer is sorting the signals out.  I will get used to the change of messages far easier than I'll get used to no messages.

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: Sigh. That went good. Thank Ops for the computer and me for the separate lines.

EO_O-Shea says:
OPS: I guess I have to reserve 4 fiber lines on several locations then. Here, the bridge, the ambassadors rooms.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looking at the many monitors he sees everything from The LoDuca trial to a documentary on warp drive technology to a Klingon rock concert to an old Mickey Mouse cartoon::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  Good plan.

EO_O-Shea says:
All: When the ambassador goes to his room... um, yes... I will accompany him to arrange the same thing on his room as on the Holodeck. Hum, sounds good.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
OPS/ EO: You could package these messages for distribution on my home world, people would pay very well for a chance to learn about your people so easily as this is doing.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  That's sounds good.

EO_O-Shea says:
::Looks as stitched up by a bee. Starts thinking.::

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: How is it working for you now, Sir?  Are we on the right track?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
AMB:  No payment would be necessary.  It's a free exchange of information.

FCO_LtJG_Zdunowski says:
::Checks his route again.:: Self: One small week and we are there, where we should be.

Host Amb_Merlot says:
CNS: It is excellent, and will easily hold me over.  You all have my...our sincerest thanks.

CNS_Wells says:
AMB: I'm pleased to hear that, Sir.  And, it was our pleasure, our crew loves nothing more than solving complex problems.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS/EO: Excellent work you two.  Next time I get a great idea, you two will be my go to guys.

EO_O-Shea says:
::Nodding towards the counselor.:: CNS: Thank you for the compliments.

CNS_Wells says:
::Leans back again:: Holodeck Computer: Create a waiter and have it take refreshment orders.  I could go for some Raisinets.
AMB: Popcorn, Sir?

Host Amb_Merlot says:
CNS/ OPS/ EO: And if I have any more problems I know there are solutions.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Don't make it anytime soon, I do have a family I need to see once in a while.

Host TO-Hittem says:
::detects a ship just barely out of range of the sensors, watching to make sure it has a transponder code::

Host Amb_Merlot says:
Amb: Popcorn?  I'd love to try it.

EO_O-Shea says:
Amb: Yes sir, you can count on me, pardon us.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
AMB:  There are solutions to every problem, finding it may take some time but when one finds it, it is forever known.
