Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11101.30, Captain Ayidee reporting.  The ship is still traveling towards Alpha Kulpa without incident, although there are still questions about what we'll find when we get there.  In the mean time, we are trying to prepare all we can, both for the mission and for whatever else we may cross.

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

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge::

Host FCO-Adams says:
CO:  Nothing eventful happened last shift and we are on course for Alpha Kulpa.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, reviewing preparations.::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::On bridge at science, and reading over the notes from the mission briefing she sent out.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::in the Counseling Office::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::newly arrived in main engineering, sipping coffee while going over the overnight reports::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Noted, looking over the reports now.

XO_Wells says:
::In his place on the bridge, quietly working on departmental scheduling from his console::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::taps his comm badge::  *OPS*:  Please report to my office for your annual psychological evaluation.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Going over mission details in science lab::

Host FCO-Adams says:
OPS:  Thanks for the time last night in the Holodeck.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Working on Weapon modifications, in need of more information:: CSO: Sydney Can you give me a hand with something?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO: You're welcome.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Speaking of get to know you meetings, I'm going to go speak with our Chief Engineer and continue my new attempt at a good habit.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
Silently to self:  Weird name they gave that metallic alloy the gate was made out of .. Zetopheoalupentalite.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders why she's not replying::

XO_Wells says:
CO: Very good, Captain, make me proud.  ::Smiles, happy he's had some influence on him::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CNS*:  On my way, Counselor.  ::she motions for her relief to take over, Jarod Taylor takes his spot and get his codes entered.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she enters the TL and heads for the CNS' office::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: Chief, do you have time now for that "get to know you" meeting?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Lieutenant, can I have a word?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  Of course, Ensign.  What's on your mind?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks around the office while he waits::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Sure, I'm not busy. Where would you like me to meet you?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: I can meet you in your office, that way you don't have to come all the way up to the Bridge and then go back down.  It'll give me my daily ship tour on the way back up.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: I am trying to modify our weapons and away team gear so that they might work if they go through the gate.  Do you have any info that might help?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: I'll be waiting for you. ::takes another sip of coffee::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'll be back before long, call if anything pops up.  ::Stands and heads for the Turbo Lift.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks the place is in desperate need of a makeover::

XO_Wells says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she exits TL and walks to the CNS' office and rings the chimes::

Host FCO-Adams says:
::checks in with the flight deck to make sure all shuttles are prepped and ready in case they are needed::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::calls out::  *OPS*:  Enter.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Turbolift.::  TL: Main Engineering.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  I can send you the scientific structure of the main element the gate is made out of.  It's Zetopheoalupentalite.  Starfleet has not been able to recreate the metallic alloy, and it seems to be predominantly found on Alpha Kulpa.  As far as their working with weapons, they believed the weapons disarmament was related only to the planet.

XO_Wells says:
::Looks around the bridge to see who is there then, returns to his PADD work::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  The alloy itself has not been found to be useful anywhere else, other than the planet.  And the planet itself seems to .. ::pauses:: what's the word?  Activate the element causing it to disable the weapons, but only as you pass through the gateway.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Feels the Turbolift slow down as it reaches deck 15.  Exits.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she enters::  CNS:  You called for me, Counselor?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
*SO*: Lieutenant Cerdan, have you had a chance to look over the mission briefing that I prepared?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::thinks:: I think I might have an idea or two that would work.  CSO: Do you think putting shields around the gear would give it protection from whatever is causing the problems?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Main Engineering and walks to the Chief's office and knocks on the door frame.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Yes I did.  Thank for coming down.  Have a seat.  ::gestures to a seating area away from the desk::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Runs a simulation on possible scenarios of the gateway::*CSO*: I have ma'am. Looking at some possibilities now.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sits down in the seat indicated::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  That's an interesting theory.  It might work.  From my understanding, the gateway only disabled weapons that were active.  And if they're shielded, they might not pick them up.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Overhears Comm between SO and CSO:: CSO Could I run those simulation with Lieutenant Cerdan?  Maybe we could find a solution.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits across from her::  OPS:  How long have you served on the Cherokee?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Chief, ready to start?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  I was just going to suggest that.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Nearly 10 years.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
*SO*:  Lieutenant, can you please coordinate with Ensign Easten?  He has some theories that might prove useful in getting weaponry through the gateway.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks up from his desk and stands:: CO: You caught me by surprise ::smiling, extends hand :: I'm Commander Jose Damien, reporting for duty.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::Nods::  OPS:  I expect you've seen lots of people come and go during that time.  ::smiles::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Thank you sir ::Taps com badge:: *SO*: I'm on my way.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CSO*: Understood. *CTO*: I'm running simulations in the lab on deck 13 if you'd like to join me?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the extended hand and shakes it.::  CEO: You're already reported in Commander.  This is just my attempt to avoid shocks during emergency situations.  Knowing your ship mates is always a plus.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Too many to count, Counselor, too many to count.

XO_Wells says:
CSO: Feel free to use the observation lounge to conduct a briefing with Ensign Easten and your science staff.  Just have your stations covered.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
*SO*: Yes sir, I'm coming to you now.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  How do you feel about our current mission?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  And then there's the situation that our weapons won't be much use if we meet up with the Borg, so we'll have to work on that as well.
XO:  Yes, Commander.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: I have an idea for that also don't worry.  ::heads to deck 13::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Yeah. All that fur. Must be hell in winter, all that static electricity. ::hopes the joke wasn't too much::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  Ensign?  You forgetting something?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: am I sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: It's worse in the rain.  ::Smiles.::  Takes forever to dry.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Looks at the empty CTO station.::

XO_Wells says:
::Wishes crew would ask to excused from the bridge before taking off, gets absolutely no respect::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Turns her station over to SO Graham who has come to relieve her.::  CTO:  I'll go with you, but you may want to have someone cover your station, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Have a seat. I'm happy to report that we are functioning at peak efficiency.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Oh sorry sir, I'll have someone fill me in.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Commander, are we free to conduct our business then in the observation lounge?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Not as different as previous missions we've been to.  Although, each mission varies greatly as events unfold.  I'm just eager to get to the bottom of this just to get some much needed answers to someone's questions.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Glad to hear that.  ::Takes the offered seat.::  First, just to make sure you're understanding this, it is an informal meeting.  More to get to know what we can expect from each other.

XO_Wells says:
CSO: Oh, are you talking to me?  ::smiles:: Carry on, Miss Logan, here, there, wherever.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Ens_Goldberg: Could you relieve me, please?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  You feel eager then.  Tell me about the most difficult mission you've been part of.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: All positions on a ship are open to interpretation on how they are fulfilled, and knowing in advance can make that smoother.  So, what do you see as your main task as Chief Engineer?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<Ens_Goldberg> ::looks up from station:: CTO: Yes sir.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Thank you, Commander.  Actually we're going to use the science labs if you don't mind.  I think they would be more useful for our simulations.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Ens_Goldberg: Thanks I owe you one ::Turns to CSO:: CSO: Ok, let’s go.

XO_Wells says:
CSO: Go.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:   Wow, Counselor. That is a loaded question.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Reviews the science briefing again for more ideas::

Host FCO-Adams says:
XO:  I guess some folks forget to ask your permission to leave the bridge sir.  I know I wouldn't!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I can honestly say that I'm here to do as little as possible. ::deadpan:: But seriously, I have had to learn to delegate. It's too big a ship for me to do everything myself, Although I work closely with my staff, overseeing all of the ships functions.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Follows the CTO to the TL and orders it to the science level once the TL doors close.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles pleasantly and waits for an answer to his question::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
*SO*: Lieutenant, we are on our way sir.

XO_Wells says:
::Looks around the bridge again thinking - they're right, it is lonely at the top.  Goes back to his scheduling work::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: So more guidance, but in an up close role?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::In TL with CSO:: TL: Deck 13.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Thanks, that by the way.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Not just guidance. I'm still very hands on.  A good example is the matter/anti-matter reactors intermix. I take care of that myself.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I understand, but I also have seen a lot of people who don't see Chief as a "teaching" position.  It's a hard role to slip into.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  No problems.  So what other ideas do you have?  ::Waits for the TL doors to open up and then steps off heading to the science lab.::

XO_Wells says:
FCO: I appreciate that Miss Adams.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Well, if I have to choose, I would say that when I was pregnant with my twins and the Cherokee crew was accused of treason.  And I was the suspected leak when a supposed message from my mother came for me.  Just being accused of that nearly sent me into premature labor.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'm certainly not a teacher. My staff is experienced. It's not like we're a boatload of cadets.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Again I understand, I don't recall any Chief Engineers who stepped back that far from the reactors.

Host FCO-Adams says:
XO:  I guess most crew don't expect the XO to have a sense of humor Sir.  I am still learning that with senior officers.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at her intently::  OPS:  How did it feel to be falsely accused?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: What do you expect from me to keep the ship running as smooth as it is?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Follows CSO:: CSO: Well sir, to deal with the Borg I can set our weapons to constantly change frequencies, they will have a very hard time adapting,

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Enters the science lab with the CTO behind her.::  CTO:  That's comforting.  Don't they usually find a way to adapt though?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Nothing you haven't already been doing. I do tend to work from main engineering most of the time. I am on the bridge when I can be, but there are some things that I need to be here to do.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: I'm not sure they know its humor. I think they think I'm just a sarcastic jack@$$.  People either get it or they don't.  ::Still working::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Looks up as Logan and Easten enter::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  How would anyone feel being falsely accused of anything?  I was devastated.  Almost as devastated when I witnessed my childhood best friend murdered in front of me by the Jem’HaDar when I was living on Betazed.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  How old were you when your friend was killed?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
SO:  Good morning, Lieutenant.  How is your transition to the ship coming along?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: This isn't your first Chief posting, so I'm sure you'll know to ask if you need anything.  Either myself or Commander Wells should be able to fulfill your needs when they come up...although I don't know how much "hands on" help either of us should give in Engineering.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::enters lab:: CSO: Yes sir, they do.  But my plan should give us a while before they do.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Early teens.  And there is more to my case in relation to that event in my life.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CSO: Morning Lieutenant. It's been a long time, but I'm making it.  ::Nods to CTO::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Such as?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Nor would I expect you to be. I've met most of the people on the ship, Commander Wells and I spent some time in the Holodeck when we were off duty. It seems like I will fit in here.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
SO: I don't believe we have formally met yet ::Holds out hand to shake SO's::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Each of us fills a role.  Sure, there's some cross training, but it would be foolish to throw an "amateur" into a role we have experts for.  With luck, we won't need to.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Extends his hand to the Ens.:: CTO: Glad to meet you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: So, is there anything you want to know of me?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Well, my psyche couldn't handle the death of my friend so it developed a second personality.  I have the files in my quarters.  My parents didn't tell me about this until just in the past year.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I think you'll find I'm a team player. How long have you held a captaincy?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Did this second personality have a name?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO, SO: Alright well let’s get to work.  I have everything I need to run a weapons test.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
SO:  So, Ensign Easten came up with a theory that I think is worth talking about.  Huron's weapons were disabled when they went through the gateway.  They don't know why.  They just were.  Ensign Easten thought about shielding the weapons if we had to go through.  That is, of course, if the gateway exists.  It's my understanding it was destroyed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: About eight years, or most of the last eight years.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
SO: Yes while we were on Starbase 33 I had personal shield generators brought onboard the ship.  They can be set to shield weapons.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Starts to speak and then pauses:: CSO,CTO: It would help if we knew what to shield them from.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: That’s quite a while ::rises and activates the Replicator:: Would you care for anything?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CSO, CTO: Do we have a record of scans before they passed through the gateway?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: No, thank you, I'm good.  There was an incident where I was asked to step down for a bit.  I had to make a tough choice to get an important task done.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Yes, Monica Foxx, she was a devious, manipulative person.  I'm concerned that someone from that past will come and haunt me.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CTO: Not sure ::turns to CSO:: CSO: do we?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
SO:  That is true.  The main metallic alloy of the gateway and that which is on the planet is Zetopheoalupentalite.  ::Pulls up the scientific structure of the element, at least part that was figured out.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  You and Monica were unaware of each other?  You share no memories?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::sits back down:: CO: Well I've heard nothing but good about you so far.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO/SO:  For easy reference, let's just call it Zeto-P, if that's all right with you both.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  None, the only way I know of her is on video in my files that I have in my quarters.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I try to keep things on the good side.  You might say that once I found the value of the rule of law, it became very tough to get away from.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Does Monica still exist?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO/SO: Yes sir, that is much better.  But if we can find the frequency of whatever is being emitted by the Zeto stuff we could program the shields to protect the weapons.  This might actually work.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: It looks like we've got a good crew here. There do seem to be a preponderance of officers from the Huron. Not that I'm complaining.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO: The only trouble is this, if the weapons are shielded, will they be able to function adequately?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CSO, CTO : Maybe some of the old sensor logs recorded something. ::Taps the console::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: For me it was a different time, but one I look back at fondly.  She made me what I am today, both as a being and as an officer.  But the Cherokee has a good history also.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Heavens no.  I hope she never emerges again.  But I'll admit, she did help me out in a strange way on dealing with my traumatic experience.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Yes they would.  Think about it, the Phasers have to shoot through the ships shields whenever we are in combat.  This should work the same way.

XO_Wells says:
::Finishes with his scheduling and saves the file to his PADD.  He looks around again and realizes he has nothing to do::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::slightly embarrassed:: CO: There is one thing you should probably know...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: What would that be?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  She did indeed act to protect you.  I'm curious how you know for certain she isn't still around?  After all, you were unaware of her when she was.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  So it might actually work then.  I like it.  Let's go with that for now.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I…uh...I have a cat. Are they really your ancestors? She's a good cat and smart, but not like Caitians are. Her name is Ashley.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Should we run a simulation on the Holodeck?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: I agree, we should only have to shield the power source for the transition.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Everything I know about Earth cats is it's just a coincidence, no relation.

XO_Wells says:
::Starts to think about the away team and who best to select to join him on it::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO/SO:  What's interesting is that the weapons were not deactivated before they went through the gateway.  It was something in the transition between the gateway and the other side that caused the weapons to disarm.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I haven't heard of anything happening on the Cherokee.  I'm always around people here who know me.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::relived:: CO: That's good to know. I just didn't want you to hold it against me. Having a domesticated pet and all. That's a cat.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  Yes, do you have the program worked out?  If so, I'll let Commander Wells know we are headed to the Holodeck for some simulations.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I have a pet of my own, although he's starting to get a touch up there in years.  A Vole I rescued from Starbase 72 years ago.  I understand their value, although the Vole's may be over rated at times.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Great, thank you sir ::Heads for Holodeck 1::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::not quite buying that, but doesn't want to alarm the Commander::  OPS:  I see.  Well, if Monica is in there somewhere and listening, I'd like her to know that I'm available to her as well.  ::smiles::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'll keep my cat away from her. Or him.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
*XO*:  Commander, we're headed to the Holodecks to work on a simulation that we may be able to use when we reach Alpha Kulpa.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  From what I heard and learned about her, she will be reluctant for your services.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
SO:  Coming?  Your input would be appreciated.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Why?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Thank you, but Barney can hide pretty well at need.  Especially when he gets in one of his roaming moods.  Was their anything else you wanted to go over?  If not, it was a pleasure getting to know you.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: If the commander asks for any specifics I would be more than happy to explain it to him.

XO_Wells says:
*CSO*: Thanks for the 411.  Have fun and be home in time for lunch.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
*XO*:  Will do, Logan out.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  She has an aversion to authority figures.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Downloads addition info to his PADD before following:: CSO: Yes ma'am just making sure I have everything.

Host FCO-Adams says:
::snickers at the XO's reply::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO/SO:  We have the go.  Let's get this simulation started.  ::Heads for the TL and orders it to Deck 7 after the SO and CTO enter.::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Are you going back to the bridge? I was headed that way myself. I don't have anything else official to go over.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO/SO: I have a some Phasers and shields that we can work with ::Follows CSO::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::laughs::  OPS:  I hadn't really thought of myself as an authority figure.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Pretty much.  I tend to take a ship tour every few hours to keep myself in shape.  But I think this visit to Engineering has covered the "official check" need of the trip.

XO_Wells says:
::Hears the FCO giggle:: FCO: I feel like old mother goose sometimes, watching over her flocking flock.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  And she hates "shrinks" even more.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Good to hear. I hope to exceed your expectations.

Host FCO-Adams says:
XO:  That is just part of your job Sir.  You are in charge of personnel on the ship.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  I'm sensing some hostility.  I wonder if it’s from you or Monica.  ::curious::

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Oh, is that what I do?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stands up.::  CEO: All one can do is their best and see where things fall.  I look forward to seeing how it works out.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  It's fact, it's all in my files in my quarters.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Waits for the TL to stop and heads for Holodeck 1.::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
:;stands as well:: CO: I'm glad we had this chance to meet.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Follows CSO::

Host FCO-Adams says:
XO:  I hope so Sir?  How else will the Captain know when reviews are needed and new personnel needed?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::follows behind one eye still on his PADD::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  One man's fact is another man's opinion.  I think we're nearly done here.  Do you have any questions of me?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Stops in front of Holodeck, the distracted SO walks right in to him:: SO: Careful sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: As am I.  Let's see what the ship is flying into?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Snickers as the two collide.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Only this, you wish to see my files, Counselor?

XO_Wells says:
::Takes a walk, as far as the view screen::  FCO: Right.  And we know how important all that is.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Excuse me .:: Scowls and then lightens his expression::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Lead the way, Sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  That would be splendid.  Thank you.  Barring any more revelations, I think its safe to say you've passed your annual psych evaluation with flying colors.  ::smiles::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO/SO:  After you two.

Host FCO-Adams says:
XO:  Yes Sir I do.  If not, I might not be on this ship.  You must have seen something you liked about my record from the academy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Heads back to the Bridge.::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: Sir, you know the most about the planet and the gateway, so enter the program while I set up the Phasers.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS: Thanks, I'll get those files for you soon.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::starts configuring Phasers and shields.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  While you're here, I have a request.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Sure.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: You're a great pilot. That's why you're here.  ::Sighs::  Its all PADD work.  My life is just one big paper cut.  I'm bored, I guess.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  Sure thing.  
SO:  I believe you have the information about the gateway.  If you can get that information entered, I'll enter the information about the planet.  ::Goes to a console and begins to enter the planetary data.::

Host FCO-Adams says:
XO:  Sir, if you are bored, why did you give up your previous posting?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CSO: There are a couple low band emission the Huron's sensors picked up, Make sure we include them in the shielding parameters.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  I'd like to change quarters.  My current ones are right next door.  ::gestures:: Too close for my tastes.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::follow the captain::

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Good question.  I ask myself that ten times a day.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
SO: I got that ::reconfigures shields::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: So, what do you do when you're not on duty, if I may ask?  Any hobbies?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Where would you like to be?  Maybe I can arrange it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Back on Earth, I spent a lot of time in the ocean. I was raised in Puerto Rico.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: So I use the Holodeck to recreate beaches from around the galaxy.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Well, my last posting was also a ship of this class.  I had quarters on the same deck, but about a 10 minute walk away, including a short cut through the arboretum.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Continues to enter the data.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Interesting, and something that can be useful to others.  I spend a good amount of time carving wood myself, although on a rather large scale.  Problem is when I'm done I need a Transporter to get it out of my quarters.  Or to get the wood in.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Especially now with so many more qualified to be an executive officer than I, on board.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I'll look into it, Counselor.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::laughs:: CO: I can see where that would be a problem.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Finishes with configurations:: CSO/SO: The Phasers are shielded ::Hands them each a Phaser::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles:: OPS:  I'd really appreciate it.  And thanks for coming.  Not everyone reacts well to being summoned to the Counselor's office.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Takes the Phaser.::  CTO/SO:  I'm ready.  Go ahead and activate the program.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I welcome it, I do need an outlet to help me keep things in perspective.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Computer: Run program ::Enters Holodeck::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  My door is always open.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CSO,CTO: Lets give it a shot.  ::Grins::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the TL.::  CEO: Hobbies usually have a cost though, and that's a small one.  Anyway, I'll talk to you as we travel.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I'll remember that.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
SO: good one ::Grins back::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Very good. And well met.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  I think we're done then.  ::stands::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::laughing.::

ACTION:  The simulation seems to work until the Phasers zap them.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Very well.  ::stands::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: It was a good meeting.  ::Walks to the center of the Bridge.::  
XO: Anything happen I need to know?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO/SO: son of a !@#$%!  What happened? ::drops Phaser::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Drops her Phaser.::  Out loud:  Ouch!  SO/CTO:  Can we do it again without the "shot"?

XO_Wells says:
CO: Not a thing, Sir.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  Try recalibrating.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Drops the Phaser to the to the floor and steps back::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::takes his station on the bridge, relieving a junior officer::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CTO:  Or adjusting the frequency.

XO_Wells says:
::Returns to his chair::

XO_Wells says:
CO: I'm detecting weapons fire in the Holodeck, Sir.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CSO,CTO; Might make more sense to mechanically mount the weapons. Unless you liked that little shock?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
SO:  If I were a former CTO from Huron, I would love it.  But I think I'll pass.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she returns to the Bridge::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CSO: I'm going to adjust the frequencies ::reconfigures shields:: lets try that again but everyone put on some protective gloves.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Weapons fire?  Who's in there now?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
SO: Nope I'm brand new, hope that doesn't make you doubt me.

XO_Wells says:
CO: Huey, Louie and Dewey, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: The Quack brothers?

XO_Wells says:
CO: No you're thinking of the Bubba cousins.

ACTION:  The CTO adjusts the frequencies and runs the simulation.  The program smokes and ashes blacken the faces of the CTO/SO/CSO.
