Captain's Personal Log, Stardate 10904.26:  The XO and I remain "guests" within the brig while the Admiral conduct whatever mischief he seem intent on conducting.

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

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::He is flying in the shuttle on the edge of the brown-reddish clouds with neon blue flashes within::

Host Adm-Nokia says:
::pacing the bridge wondering if they will ever get out of this storm::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::In Brig, wondering just what is happening on the Bridge.::  CO: This brings back memories.  Some from another life, some from more recent times.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on the Bridge at OPS monitoring communications, seems a little worried about the FCO as he seems to have gone to Sickbay, must be too much Vodka::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Well frankly, this is going to be a memory that will be all too painful if we don't find out what that two bit hundan is doing on my bridge.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::Sensors are not much help for him::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: I'm not sure what he's up to.  Honestly, he seems...out of practice.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
OPS:  Where is that infernal FCO?  This ensign here doesn't seem to know what he is doing!

CNS_Wells says:
::In Surgical Suite number three, in Sickbay's OR::

Host Adm-Nokia says:
::he grabs the arm of the chair and another disturbance hits the Cherokee::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ADM:  I assume the Lt Zdunovski went to Sickbay.  He was looking a little woozy.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::He tries to modify sensor beam from wide to narrow scan::

Host Adm-Nokia says:
OPS:  Now?  Now?  Of all times to be space sick!  I will have one of his bars over this.  ::turns on his heel and walks to the TL::  OPS:  You have the bridge!

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Out of practice?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is still using the backdoor effect to check on what is going on while making it look like she is actually monitoring communications.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Is repairing a broken vertebrae, L4 to be precise::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.:: CO: Yes, like he's been behind a desk so long he forgot how different the Big Chair feels.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::thinks 'Oh great, not the command spot again.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Bring me a chart of this region and narrow it for this anomaly.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@<COMPUTER> CMO: Preparing.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
::getting in the TL, he tells the computer to take him to the primary flight deck::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Tio, right now we need to figure out just what exactly got us here, and that means finding out why the computer suddenly forgot who you are.  What do you need for that?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: Access to the system, possibly an engineer or a diagnostic technician.  Not going to be able to do that here, though.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: hmmm, doesn't it feel rather hot in here?  Almost sweltering. :: points to the primitive temp control in their cell. ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@<Computer> CMO: Effectiveness of the map is 86% due to lack of data on the anticipated size of the storm::

Host Security says:
::moves close to the force field so his voice cannot be heard::  CO:  What is blue blazes is going on?  There have been arrests all over the ship.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: Not certain that control even works.  Think it's just there for PR reasons.
Security: Who, and where from?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: keeps his voice down as well. :: Security: I can't be certain, but I believe the good Admiral is up to something and it doesn't have our best interests at heart.  The XO and I are trying to find a way to exonerate ourselves and get us out of the brig.

Host Security says:
CO/XO:  There have been some arrests in engineering, stellar cartography, the computer core, and the flight deck.  I don't dare make a move, or I might just be in there with you.

CNS_Wells says:
::Making casual conversation with the OR staff present and currently listening to Vivaldi's four seasons as they work to repair Crewman Kendall's spine::

Host Security says:
CO/XO:  I tell you Sirs, that admiral is running security ragged.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Lieutenant, were having a bit of difficulty with the environmental controls inside our cell, As per regulation 135 section A we request a technician to oversee and repair our cell's environmental control.  If he happens to have a PADD with access to ship's systems, that would be...coincidentally good.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Security: Keep to your job, and your training.

Host Security says:
CO:  Sir, I have to have permission directly from the Admiral for anyone to enter your cell.  ::sighs::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Bring the grid over the storm projection, quadrant grid size 50.000 km3, and give me estimated projection of the sensor sweep on every quadrant.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::during her "snooping", she suddenly hits a block.  She researches what the block entails.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@<Computer> CMO: Estimated time for the calculation 15 minutes.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Security: The people being arrested, who are they exactly?

@ACTION:  For a brief moment, the Cherokee appears briefly in all the flashing of the ion storm, then disappears again.

CNS_Wells says:
::Doing the time consuming intricate work necessary to allow this patient a full recovery::  Nurse: Laser Scalpel on times ten magnification.

Host Security says:
::hears a sound in the corridor and steps away from the force field.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Please do it, you f... :: Stops for a second with a little frustration:: machine.  Scan object on this grid. ::Taps commands::  Confirm a size of the object is it equal to USS Cherokee?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Engineering. flight deck, the core and stellar cartography...Tio, why would he need access to all of those?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@<Computer> CMO: Confirmed, it is a shape and size of USS Cherokee.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: Lots of reasons.  It depends on who they are dealing with and removing.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::in her research, she discovers that she cannot not send or receive communications of any kind.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Then open hailing frequencies.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Tio, I'm just about at my wits end right now.  And frankly.  I've had enough.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@ COM: CHEROKE: This is Lt. Jovan Brabas, please respond!

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: It's not the end yet, still lots of questions.

ACTION:  The communication from the shuttle to the Cherokee is not received.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Security: Ensign, as per my rights as an accused prisoner,  I request that my accuser be brought forward to answer questions concerning my charges.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Do they receive us?

Host Security says:
CO:  Sorry Sir, I am not to leave my post unless relieved by the Admiral himself.  I am sorry Sir, what can I do?  ::almost to the point of tears::
Host XO_Ayidee says:

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Security: Son.  Listen to me.  Your being asked to follow orders that are in your heart...wrong.  You've been on board for how long?  You know us.  Trust me, The Admiral is working on his own agenda and is a danger to the ship and crew.  Help me stop him.

CNS_Wells says:
::Adjusts anestizine levels and switches tools to a bone regenerator::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Transfer warp power to deflector dish and boost the signal of the communications.
COM: Cherokee: USS Cherokee this is Lt. Jovan Brabas please respond.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
::walks into the brig::  CO:  I heard that last statement.  Until we reach a Starbase, I have nothing to say to you.
Security:  Good man, continue to ignore these two.  It will all be explained to you later.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Is the Ion storm in the way of communication?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Sir, with all due respect, what will all be explained?

ACTION:  A ribbon of plasma hits the CMO's shuttle, grazing the shields.  The effect is the shuttle is sent several kilometers from the edge of the storm.

CNS_Wells says:
Nurse: I hope everything on the bridge is going as well as things are going here in Crewman Kendall's back.  ::smiles as he hears those in the OR laugh politely::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@:: Grabs for the console and tries to hold on.  Looks on the flashing lights all around him::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: What are you up to, Admiral?  Arresting key officers in the flight deck, computer core, engineering, and stellar cartography.  Looks like you plan on taking the ship for a little ride with no one knowing what’s really going on but yourself.  Your commandeering this starship on illegal pretenses, SIR!

Host Adm-Nokia says:
XO:  All in good time.  Just relax and try to stay out of trouble.  ::grinning, he turns and leaves the brig::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Self: Idiot next time use a metal bar in the storm. Maybe you will survive.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: I don't plan on giving him that time.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Adm: That isn't likely, sir.  At this point, the Captain's explanation seems to be the only one.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Disengage deflector dish from communiqué.  Damage?

Host Adm-Nokia says:
::not listening as he leaves the brig, headed for other areas of the ship::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Security: I tell you, Lieutenant.  That man is up to no good.  In fact, I believe his actions are intended to harm Starfleet or at least this ship in the very least.  Are you willing to just stand there and let that happen?  Or are you going to do what’s right?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@<Computer> CMO: Shields down to 63% primary couplings off line, minor damage to deflector dish, warp drive off line.

CNS_Wells says:
All in OR: Well, I'm sure if anything was wrong...no news is good news, right?  Someone turn up the volume on the tunes.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Security: Based on that conversation, I can say that his orders are, or seem to be, illegal.  No Starfleet officer or crewman is required or expected to follow an illegal order.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Security:  I used to be your Chief Tactical Officer once upon a time.  You would follow me into the very jaws of Hades.  Are you still willing to make that leap with me...just one more time?

Host Adm-Nokia says:
<Security>  CO/XO:  Sir, I am a lowly ensign, who might someday be a lowly Lieutenant.  He is an Admiral.  ::shrugs shoulders and turns around::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Security: you don't have to do it out of loyalty to any person.  Just ask yourself, is the set of orders to remove officers from key positions likely to be a legal set of orders, some day or now?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Do we have any probes on board?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Tio....hit me.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
::looking at his PADD, he realizes he has not been to sickbay, turns to find the TL to head that direction::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: No, not yet.  Not time for the "prison riot" routine yet.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: No but if you injure me sufficiently I'll need to be sent to sickbay.  We need to get in touch with Counselor Wells.  He's the senior ranking Officer not in the hooscow right now and can reinstate our command codes.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@<Compute> CMO: Affirmative.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is trying her best to get through the block so she can send out communications only to be stopped at every turn, she is beginning to curse in my mind.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Self: Let’s use it as an isolator from the storm.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Security: I ask again, Ensign.  Do you honestly, in your best judgment, find the Admiral's orders legal?

CNS_Wells says:
::Listening to the float nurse and his instrument nurse discussing the "cute" Lieutenant Zdunovski and smiles at the thought:: Nurse: Okay that should do it.  Let's close him up. Regenerator please.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Lets program it for next usage. Record communication.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
<Security> XO:  I don't know Sir, I keep thinking what if it was him and he said the same thing?  I just can't make a decision like that Sir, and please quit asking me to.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Newman>: CNS: I can close if you wish, Commander.  Doctor E'ben would like to see you in the Holodeck, As soon as possible.

CNS_Wells says:
Newman: Very well, go to it, Doctor.  ::Leave the OR removing his surgical scrubs::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Security: Decisions need to be made.  Not making one is deciding they are legal.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
::exiting the TL, he makes his way down the corridor to sickbay::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Quietly.:: CO: Sir, are your Command Codes intact still?

CNS_Wells says:
::Decides to use the surgical exit as it will be faster to avoid the Sickbay staff::

Host Adm-Nokia says:
Sickbay:  Is anyone here that can show me around?  ::looking around for a person::

CNS_Wells says:
::Heads towards the Holodeck where a medical station was started at the onset of the storm and the first casualties::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::He taps command for recording on the console:: Computer: This is Lt. Jovan Brabas on the edge of the Ion storm, coordinates 343.76.  My shuttle has been damaged due to Ion storm and I need assistance, I am using this probe as a message buoy to get in communication with you. Please respond. ::He taps for the end of message again on the console::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: I don't think he will have left them active, but...honestly it wouldn't hurt to check.

CNS_Wells says:
<Nurse_Amarie>: ADM: Can I help you, Sir?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: Then see if the shields will be turned off.  ::Moves close to the edge.::

Host Adm-Nokia says:
Nurse:  How are the injured coming along?  Did we have any fatalities?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: speaks quietly but loud enough for the computer audio receptors to hear him. ::  Computer: computer, recognize, Hazzard, Mark W. Commander.

CNS_Wells says:
<Amarie>: ADM: Four fatalities, Sir. Many wounded but, most will be fine, in time.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
<Computer>  Commander:  I have no record of a Commander Hazzard.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Transfer message to the probe and prepare for lunch, program the probe to scan the interior of the storm and coordinates for return after 15 minutes. Let massage repeat until it is answered.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the XO and raises an eyebrow. :: XO: Complete Record Deletion?

Host Adm-Nokia says:
Nurse:  How is your supply level?  Do you have everything you need?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
<Computer> CMO: Ready.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: Not possible, not in this amount of time.  The Admiral doesn't have the skills that would take, no one does to do it unnoticed.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: On my mark. :: Waits for another flash in the clouds to see a glimpse of the ship::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: What if the Admiral isn't working alone, Mr. Ayidee.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Security: One last request, check the computer, ask it for my service record, or the Captains.

CNS_Wells says:
<Amarie>: ADM: Yes, I believe we are in good shape on supplies.  Of course we will have a large order to place, once we get back to Starbase 33.  ::Smiles as she begins getting some things from a cabinet::

CNS_Wells says:
<Amarie>: Adm: Can we do something for you Admiral?

Host Adm-Nokia says:
<Security>  :;turns to look at the XO, and begins to ponder the question:

CNS_Wells says:
::Arrives in Holodeck 1 and seeks out Doctor E'ben amongst the beds and carts and other medical equipment::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is still getting nowhere in trying to get through the block that she found, she also hopes that she doesn't do anything to get caught.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: Still, even if he was, it's not the way to go about things.  It would require removing over 200 crew members from the ship when this is done, not to mention former ship mates, academy mates, passing acquaintances, family.  No, this doesn't make sense as part of an attack.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Give me estimated direction from the last position of the Cherokee.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@<Computer> CMO: Unable to comply due to lack of data.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: The admiral had all the time in the world, Tio. He had three days all to himself from the time he got on board till when we approached the ion storm.  He made SURE he would be on the bridge when we entered so he could be there to facilitate our removal from the chain of command.  And if you trace the Admiral's steps in that time, I bet you'll find The Core, Engineering, Stellar Cartography and the Flight deck all received VERY intensive visits from the dear Admiral.

CNS_Wells says:
<Amarie>: Adm: Is everything okay, Sir?  Or are you just expecting us?  We are not at our best for an inspection... Umm, things are kind of chaotic right now.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: I KNEW it!   Next time I want a detailed background check on a visitor...I best DANG well get one.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Computer: Load a probe with hydrogen particles, and program it to release the particles in the storm then to move out as fast it can. And launch it on the last known coordinates.

Host Adm-Nokia says:
Nurse:  No, just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: That's not the problem with it.  Removing us from Command would be easier than removing us from the records.  The second isn't possible, or is intensely difficult.  How many crew members have you served with?  I've served with hundreds.  Thousands if you extend it to all crew served with, not just close acquaintances.

CNS_Wells says:
<Amarie>: Well, thank you, Sir.  We are fine.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: That isn't a reasonable response either, sir.  We still don't know what the point of all this is.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: He's not looking for long term effects.  Whatever he's planning is happening soon.  He just needed us out of the way so he could do whatever it is he's doing right now.

CNS_Wells says:
::Finds Doctor E'ben in Holodeck::

Host Adm-Nokia says:
Nurse:  Thank you for your time.  ::he turns and walks out of sickbay::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@:: He follows the probe with scanner and tries to verify intensity of the storm.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: We're not the target, we are a side objective.  An obstacle.  We need to get back into his path and keep him from whatever his primary goal is.  And that means getting out of this cell right now!
