Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11003.14, Captain Ayidee recording.  We are en-route to the Kepler, knowing that things may not be as they seem.  Problem is, we can't fully let the crew Know what is happening, which makes things difficult.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, watching preparations made as we get closer to the Kepler's last reported location.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Sitting in his place on the bridge, feeling very unsettled and a bit anxious after meeting with CO and CTO.  Will need to focus to remain silent::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::In sick bay preparing the tools for job done::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
*BetaTL*: Team leader, advance to next checkpoint. We have the intruders on sensors.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Checking his schedule, looking for a good excuse to get off the bridge, regretfully unable to find a "good" excuse::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
<BetaTL>*CTO*: Aye sir. Advancing.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::in her quarters, adjusts a photo frame on her desk before putting her hands on her hips and looking around the room with a contented look::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Contact Starfleet, see if they have any updates on the Kepler situation.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::He has look over a list of people that are in need for evaluation::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Looks the Captain's way but, doesn't say anything::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::arrives at checkpoint:: *BetaTL*: What is your status, team leader?

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::puts her pins on facing the mirror, moves her hair a little and then leaves her quarters::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Anything we need from the rescue end of the operation that you can think of?

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
<AlphaTL>*CTO*: We have captured Beta sir. Intruders win again.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: I trust everything is ready in Sickbay?  We never know what to expect, medically speaking, in a search and rescue mission, Doctor.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*CNS*: Ah, we are always ready.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I'm having trouble thinking at the moment.  If I think of something I will let you know but it is hard to know what we need under the current circumstances.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: SFHQ:  This is USS Cherokee requesting if there are any new updates on the Kepler?

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*CNS*: Even when we are not.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
*AlphaTL*: How the..
*ALL Teams*: Drill is over. Return to your assignments.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: I know you are.  Thanks, Doc.

Host SM-Trish says:
<SFC> %COM:  Cherokee:  Nothing new Cherokee.  The ship has not been seen by anyone, as far as we know.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That's not a surprise, this mission has too many holes in it for comfort.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::heads for the TL:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: We search, when we find, we rescue, what else is there?  Ha!

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::enters Main Engineering, and looks around for someone in charge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Knowing what happened to make the search necessary?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: SFHQ:  Understood, I'll pass on the information.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*CNS*: Is there a time for a physical test now?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Sorry, that was rhetorical or sarcasm, not meant to answer.  At least I think it was.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Sir, there is no new updates about the Kepler.  The ship has not been seen by anyone.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Amen to that. Speaking of which, where is our boy, Trent?  I thought he'd be up here keeping his eye out for the Kepler.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*CNS*: I am waiting for a bridge crew this time to get in first.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::exits on to the bridge:: CO: Sir, drills are completed. ::moves over to tactical::

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::looks at an engineer:: EO_Johnson: Excuse me, where is the Chief?

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*CNS*: Or do I have to come up there and make you strip on the bridge?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: The drills run as hoped for?

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
<EO_Johnson> EO: Sorry, he's not around at the moment. You must be the new Engineer... that puts you in charge for the moment.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
Self: Ok then list will be done.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
EO_Johnson: Oh... really? ::looks a bit nervous:: Not what I was expecting first day on the job... Okay thank you. ::walks away, lost in the vastness of the room::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
CO: No sir. Alpha team seemed to dominate the drills, beta, delta and gamma need more work.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::moves to a wall panel and checks the ship status - everything is okay, or to put it another way, nothing is broken::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: It's early, and there's been a bit more change at the top slot the last few months than we'd like.  Are they up to the task?

ACTION:  A small fight breaks out between Alpha and Beta security teams.  The CTO is called.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
*SEC*: Understood, on my way.
CO: Looks like we may have a bit of a situation sir. A scuffle has broken out, I will get to the bottom of it.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: Are you seriously suggesting I come down there so you can give me a physical examination?  I don't think so, Doctor.  For the first time in my acting XO history I'm using my powers.  Not now.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::nods to the engineer as she decides to head up to the bridge to check in::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Let me know if I need to know.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir. ::heads directly to deck 4::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Doesn't he have better things to do?

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
Alpha Team:  You cheated!  ::pops the leader in the eye::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*CNS*: Oh but you need as an XO to put a example for the crew.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::walks down the corridor, trying to remember the layout of the decks without checking a wall console::

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
:;begins to circle him, letting him get a shot in, if he can::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: A fight amongst crewman, wonder what that's about?

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::exits the TL and heads straight for the scuffle:: ALL: What is going on here?

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
::snaps to attention, but doesn't say a word::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: It's a test, they happen, just usually they are settled before they get to the point we hear about it.  Tactical isn't by nature a calm group.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CMO*: Kinda busy up here at the moment, Doctor.  I think we have a new engineering officer, torture... I mean, examine her.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*CNS*: Ha-ha-ha, and she didn’t report to me?  Will do.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::looks at Beta team leader:: BetaTL: Report , Mister! What happened?!

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::walks onto the bridge, her first time on a New Orleans class::

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
CTO:  Er, uhm ::hesitates:: we were just having a drill Sir!  It just kinda got out of hand Sir!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO: Welcome to the Bridge, Lieutenant.  Can we help you?

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
BetaTL: Maybe you didn't hear my order for all teams to return to patrols?

ACTION:  Both teams are standing at attention, eyes straight ahead, hoping the CTO doesn't call on them to explain.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
AlphaTL: What have you to say?

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: Hello Captain. ::extends a hand as she walks up to him trying to cover her nerves and failing:: I thought I'd check in as I started my shift.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
EO: Oh, it's you.  I just volunteered you to go down and keep the Doctor amused.  Sorry, for throwing you to the dingo's, Miss.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
<AlphaTL>::looks ahead and says nothing::

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::her attention divided between the CO and CNS, she is slightly taken aback by the CNS first words to her::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO: Ah, Lieutenant Ecchumati, just assigned to engineering, wasn't it?  I am Captain Ayidee, welcome to the Cherokee.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
ALL: Well I guess no one wants to tell me what was going on? Well then. What should we do. Any suggestions?

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
CTO:  Sir ::clears his throat::  Get back to our patrols?

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
BetaTL: I have a better idea. You boys want to fight? Is that what you want?

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
CTO:  Sir!  NO Sir!

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
BetaTL: Because obviously you can't beat Alpha team at anything else.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
CO: Yes Captain, Engineering. ::nods:: I was just there now and I am pleased to say everything is in working order.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO: Good to hear.  We are currently on a search and rescue for the USS Kepler, but we have little information as to what caused her problems, so we want to be fully prepared so we don't fall to the same fate trying to rescue her.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
*EO*: Miss Ecchumati please report to Sickbay.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::At the bridge, checking the console. Meanwhile looking at the screen.::

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Sir. I'll be sure to do my best. ::gestures a direction:: CO: I'd better get to Sickbay... those medical folk always like getting their hands on new crewmembers. ::smiles, but instantly wishes she hadn't made a joke and heads off quickly::
*CMO*: On my way, Doctor.

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
::waits for the boot to fall when the CTO decides what he is going to do with them::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO: Very good.  Dismissed.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::enters the Turbolift and takes refuge in the solitary moment as she travels to her destination::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
ALL: You guys just going to stand there? Come on, get to it. I want to see a good fight. Come on teams, you aren't tired are you?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: She looks capable.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::Looks over information on Haliian species::

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::takes a breath and puts her brave face on as she walks into Sickbay:: CMO: Doctor Brabas, I presume.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Let's hope so.  Engineering may have their hands full if this is as bad as it could be.

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
CTO:  Sir?

MO_Kelly says:
::Walks into sickbay knowing he is 1/2 an hour late for his shift, wishes he didn’t try that last rock face in the Holodeck and has the limp to prove it.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I wish we knew what to expect.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: If we did, it wouldn't be Starfleet.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::steps aside as the MO walks in past her::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: ETA to the Kepler's last location?

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
BetaTL: You wanna fight?  Go ahead an’ fight. And when this ship is overrun and your crewmates and friends are dead, you can say it was because you had to prove how tough you were.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: ETA in 15 minutes sir.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::He sees a figure around 1,8 m tall. He hears her and turns around::

MO_Kelly says:
::almost bumps into the EO in his hurry:: EO: Excuse me, Lieutenant.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I know but, this time it's all too personal again.  That always complicates things.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::Smiles::  EO: Oh welcome to Sickbay.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Yellow Alert, let's be ready even if it's overkill.  Keep it by the books.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
EO: You are Haliian, I have to say I didn’t ever meet your species before.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Begins to set up the ship's sensors to start surveying the area of and surrounding the Kepler's last known location::

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
CMO: Hello Doctor. ::sees the yellow alert lights go off:: Oh such a shame... ::doesn’t cover her relief too well:: That means I need to get to Engineering. ::starts backing out::

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: Sorry I am late doctor, had to climb one last mountain.  Well I should say try to climb.

Host BetaTeamLeader ACTION:  The TO goes to yellow alert, which is heard all over the ship. (Yellow Alert.wav)

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: We are near the Romulan Neutral zone. This is where the ship disappeared. I have nothing on sensors, sir.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Did you ever meet her species? Fascinating. There is a lot of stories on her species talents.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
ALL: Teams, at your posts NOW. Next time this stuff happens you will have to deal with me.

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
::continues standing board straight::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
EO: Please stop.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Keep us on our side, Lieutenant.  Now isn't the time to go testing borders.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
ALL: DISMISSED!

Host BetaTeamLeader says:
::starts to run, and hopes he can get out the CTO's sight before the can think of something else;:

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
EO: Yes you can go to your post.  But you are on a list for tests.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::heads back to the bridge, looking forward to the next round of duty assignments::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Aye-aye sir.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
EO: I have your old records but I need new one, and that is an order.  Now go.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Checks that the Cherokee is on the good side of the Neutral Zone.::

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::stops and decides against commenting about his lack of manners referring to her in the third person before the medical is complete after hearing about his rag::

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: No, I believe she is the first I have met.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
CMO: Yes, I... MO: I'm standing right here...

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Fascinating species.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::exits on to the bridge and returns to tactical::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
EO: Don’t take us on a bad side.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Everything okay?

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::is amazed at the medical staff's rudeness:: CMO: I'll be back, reluctantly, for your exam. ::heads out::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
EO: You will love us.  ::Smiles::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
CNS: Just fine, just a little misunderstanding.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::doesn’t stop to turn back to the CMO as the doors close behind her, she mumbles:: Self: We'll see...

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: You would think we were the bad guys the way people avoid us?

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: I don’t think she has any Psychological problems.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::begins running scans of the nearby area, looking for any signs of life::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Reading scans searching for clues::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Nah they are all just a little shamed of us.  We are only ones that see them all naked.  ::Smiles::

MO_Kelly says:
::Smiles::  CMO: Fringe benefits in some cases, some not so much

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::on her way to Engineering, makes a conscious effort to calm down, really not enjoying the first day on the job, being uncomfortable with all the change::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: I really think that we need to be professional in some degree on that matter.  ::Smiles::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
CO: Not finding much sir. Sensors are not finding anything unusual.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::enters Engineering and brings up reports on the central console::

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Next time I will warm up my hands.  ::Loud laughter::

MO_Kelly says:
::Looks innocent:: CMO: I am always professional Doctor,

Host CO_Ayidee_ says:
FCO/ CTO: The Kepler was a Science vessel, not likely to cross the Neutral Zone without serious provocation or unbelievable error.  Work out a search course to cover the most possible area on this side in the least possible time.  Keep any search in the Neutral Zone to scanners only.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::With smiling face he looks at MO::

MO_Kelly says:
::Makes his way over to a Biobed and picks up a med scanner, and begins scanning his own ankle::  CMO: I don’t think I tore anything but I should probably be safe rather then sorry.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Lets look on this.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::seeing everything is done, is unsure what to do::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
CO: Understood. I will let you know if I find anything unusual.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::He take his own medical Tricorder::

MO_Kelly says:
::Glances at the results on the scanner before handing it to the Doctor,:: CMO: See I told you so, it will be fine.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Let me check it.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: So, the Kepler isn't here.  Where to now?

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: Only if you warm your hands first

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: On what did you got your injury?

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: Holodeck, some mountain climbing program on Vulcan or something.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::at engineering in his office::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
::increases range of sensor scans, looking for anything out of the ordinary::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Nods towards the CO, as of understanding his story of the Kepler.::

Host CO_Ayidee_ says:
CNS: We find her, or evidence of what happened to her.  Space is really, really, big.  And not the pure vacuum planet bound folk believe it is.  Search will take some time.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Oh then that is not so bad, lets give you serum for anti-infection of blood.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Well, we can rule out that it wasn't destroyed here, can't we?

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
:: Takes Hypo and gives to MO::

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::sees the CEO is in his office and goes over, ringing the chime::

Host CO_Ayidee_ says:
CNS: Not seeing anything to indicate it was.  But we need to find things out for certain.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
::Then he gives a dermal regenerator to MO::  MO: You know what to do with it.

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: If you insist, but I doubt we have any blood infections floating around our Holodecks, doctor.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
EO: Come over here, I am Edward On, CEO of this ship ::shakes her hand::

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: I think we covered it in medical school, but I might have been sleeping ::Sets the regenerator to deep tissue regeneration, and begins to pass it over his ankle::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Well, I can't just sit here.  If it's okay with you, I think I'll go pretend I'm still the counselor of this ship.  If you need me I'll be around.  ::Stands::

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
CO: No sign of Phaser fire in the area, if there was a fight it wasn't much of one.

Host CO_Ayidee_ says:
CNS: We'll call the first scent we get.

CMO_Lt_DrBrabas says:
MO: Better safe then sorry.

EO_LtJG_Ecchumati says:
::takes the hand and has hers shaken more than she was expecting:: CEO: Pleased to meet you, Sir.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Exits bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee_ says:
CTO: Then it's still a Search and Rescue, at least in theory.

MO_Kelly says:
CMO: Well I was thinking of leaving a little limp so I could get some sympathy from the nurses you know.

CTO_LtJG_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir. It just seems all pretty clean out here, nothing unusual at all and no trace of any ships.

ACTION: Tactical sensors pick up what appears to be a faint sensor echo, it could be evidence that a cloaked ship was in range not to long ago.
