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

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
:: Notices SO Gordon entering the science department and heading her way.::

SO Gordon says:
CSO:  I have all the details of the lab experiments and the necessary documentation about the facility downloaded.  I had to use 2 data PADDs to store it all, but I got everything.

Host XO_Wells says:
::On the bridge, keeping the Captain's chair warm::

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  Sir, I have Dr. Neal secured in guest quarters.  We need a counselor to see him.  Do you have any suggestions?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Stretches in her office, still with bags all around that she hadn't had the time to unpack.:: Self: Where to begin...

Host XO_Wells says:
TO: We seem to be fresh out.  Perhaps, Doctor Stradiot can check on him from time to time.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  I think that would be a good idea.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
SO Gordon:  Great job, thank you for seeing to that for me.  Can you see that they are uploaded into the Starfleet database?  I'm going to head to the bridge to check our progress there.

Host XO_Wells says:
TO: Frankly, I'm fine with leaving Neal alone to think about all the suffering he's caused.

Host XO_Wells says:
TO: He should be in the brig, not quarters but, whatever.

SO Gordon says:
CSO:  I'll take care to send a copy to Starfleet as well for you.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  As you say, Sir.  He does have two guards outside his quarters, just in case.

Dr. Neal says:  
::In confined quarters which are very small and very few items in the room.::  Out loud:  This is all a big mistake!  I didn't do anything!  Hello!  Can anyone hear me?

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  I can move him there Sir, if you want.

Dr. Neal says:  
::Takes his coffee cup and runs it across the walls like a make-shift set of bars.::

Host XO_Wells says:
*CMO*: Doctor Stradiot, I'll give you the choice,  You can take on Neal as a psyche patient or wait until we arrive at Starbase 33 and let them deal with him.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Sighs as she hears the XO over her combadge:: *XO*: Do you have any particular preference, Sir?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
SO Gordon:  Thank you Gordon.  If you want, you can ask Ensign Waltrop to assist you.  ::Exits the science department and heads for the bridge.::

Host XO_Wells says:
*CMO*: Yes, I would prefer he have time alone to reflect, and you could join me on the bridge, and we can pretend to have a consultation about his mental health.

Dr. Neal says:  
::Starts to tap in Morse code on the door.::  Calls out:  Hello?  I'm a little claustrophobic.  Can I have a little more space please?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Giggles lightly:: *XO*: I'll be right up sir, with my report. ::Smiles lightly::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Takes the nearest lift and orders it to the bridge.::

Host Security says:   
Neal:  Sir, if you don't be quiet, we will have to sedate you.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Quickly moves to the nearest TL and orders it to the bridge::

Dr. Neal says:  
::Hears security.::  Security:  This is all a big mistake.  I want a lawyer!

Host XO_Wells says:
::Reading a personal correspondence from his mother, one that came while he was away::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Notices the CMO in the same TL as her that just stopped.::  CMO:  Hello, Doctor.

Host Security says:   
Neal:  I am sure one can be found once we return to Starbase 33.  Now be quiet!!!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CSO: Oh! Didn't even see you there! ::Smiles lightly:: Sorry about that. How are you doing?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CMO:  No worries.  How was your trip?  I hear there was a lot of chaos on the planet.

Host XO_Wells says:
::Little does Lillian Wells know how close she came to getting two mother's day cards this year::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shrugs:: CSO: Eh, killed a few Borg, saw a copy of myself, nothing too strenuous.

Dr. Neal says:  
Security:  Humph!  ::Mutters under his breath.::  Nerd!

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Shudders a bit at the Borg.::  CMO:  I hear you guys handled it very well.  I'm glad no one was hurt.  ::Notices the doors to the TL open.::  After you?

Host TO-Weller says:
::returns to her station at tactical::

Dr. Neal says:  
::Heads to the replicator and orders himself a cup of hot tea.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Nods:: CSO: Thank you. The Borg didn't seem that formidable. That was the first time I’ve fought them and they go down pretty fast, just like any other. ::Turns:: XO: Hello, sir.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Hello, Commander.  ::Takes her station, and logs in.::

Host XO_Wells says:
::Sees the two ladies arriving on the bridge and saves the rest of the communiqué for later:: CMO/CSO: Ladies.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  It seems their weapons didn't work.  That gave us a definite advantage.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  I hear no one's weapons worked.  But I suppose that the Borg are the most disadvantaged when it comes to that department.  Without their weapons and shielding, they're really just a bunch of nuts and bolts.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Stands next to the XO:: XO: Well then....

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: Well then, what?  Are you two still discussing the last mission?  Here I'm trying to forget it.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  The good doctor here is being shy about her part.  She took out two of them that I know of.  I haven't read all the reports yet though.

Dr. Neal says:  
::Attempts to practice some relaxing techniques, and then decides he hasn't really relaxed in 3 years.  Why start now?  Moves over to a console in the room and opens the console.::

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  The XO has two as well.  The good part is, once Jekyl died, the rest of the Borg turned and left.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shakes her head:: XO: The CSO merely was asking me about it since she wasn't there with us. ::Shrugs:: I've seen much of this type of thing before...although not with such a group of people as this crew.

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: Seen what?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  I understand they wanted Jekyl because he had Borg and Bot technology.  That is one thing I'm glad the Borg did not get hold of.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  Commander Ec thought they would not come back since it was Jekyl they were homing in on.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  I've read the reports on that.  That all sounds so confusing to hear about Commander Ec.  Imagine how his real half is going to feel when he finds out he has a double that's stuck there.  Starfleet "is" going to do something about that, aren't they?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Death, fighting, all those kinds of things. You seem to be bothered by something though. What about?

Dr. Neal says:  
::Attempts to access his work through the console, excited that his science log-in has not been revoked yet.::

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  You would have to ask the CO or XO about that.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  I'm sure Starfleet would not just leave him there.

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO/CSO/TO: I've been preparing a very extensive and detailed report to present to Starfleet command.  It should be enough to make their bureaucratic little heads explode.  I am bothered but, I'll be fine as soon as I show my report to Admiral Alexander.

Host TO-Weller says:
::notices his board light up::  XO:  Sir, Neal is accessing the computer.

Host XO_Wells says:
TO: You had better stop him then, hadn't you.  Throw him in the brig if he can't behave.  It's where he should have been put to start with.  I guess Captain Ayidee and I see things differently.

Host TO-Weller says:
::nods at the XO and taps his console, shutting down access::  XO:  Done Sir.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Nods:: XO: Very well sir....You know where I am if you need to talk to someone about all this.

Dr. Neal says:  
::Slaps the console.::  Out loud:  Come on you piece of sheet rock!  What the heck is .. ::sees the access denied message come up and sighs.::

Host TO-Weller says:
CMO:  Sir, I have a minor cut that needs looking at.  Do you have time before you go back to sickbay?

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: What's there to talk about?  You were there.  I did the best I could but, I guess others thought they could have handled things better.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Blinks:: TO: Let me see.

Host TO-Weller says:
::rolls up her sleeve to show the CMO a 4 inch cut on her forearm::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Sir, you really can't blame yourself for this stuff....

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Notices that SO Gordon has started the upload into their database.::

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: I don't blame me; I did great, I thought.  It’s just others disagree and I don’t need the grief.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
ALL:  I'm sure it was a very stressful situation, if not shocking to see crew from the Huron there.

Host XO_Wells says:
CSO: I'm going to want to include every scrap of data on that gateway, the Huron mission and whatever else you got, in my report to Starfleet.  Can you have it compiled for me by the time we reach the Starbase, please.

Host XO_Wells says:
CSO: The Huron, next time they can clean up their own messes.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shakes her head and quickly gives the TO a dose of Hypercoagulin:: TO: You should be fine. Just get it down to sickbay and an MO can use a dermal regenerator on it if it still bothers you. You'll be fine. ::Turns back:: XO: Sir, Who's disagreeing with you?  Besides, you're the head of the away team last I checked. ::Shrugs::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Absolutely, Commander.  Ensign Gordon is already uploading the data to our database.  I will forward a copy to your office once everything is complete.  I admit though, it would have been nice to see Commander Ec again.

Host TO-Weller says:
CMO:  Thank you Ma'am.  Unless you think it is going to scar, I will leave it as it is,

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
TO: It's a cut, not a gash or a gouge. It'll be fine.

Host XO_Wells says:
CSO: Thank you.  As for Ec'Thel'Ion, I haven't given up on those we left behind and neither should anyone else.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Or William...

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Good to hear, Commander.  Is anyone going to tell the real .. uh .. I guess I mean the other Commander Ec that he now has a twin?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CMO:  That's right .. Doctor Stradiot was there as well.

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: Of course, hopefully they will be fine until we can figure a way to free them from that place should they want to leave it.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  You know, I really just thought of something else.  What if we were able to use that technology on the other side of the gateway as a means to fight the Borg here .. in our universe.

Host XO_Wells says:
SCI: I'm sure he will be notified by Starfleet once the facts are known, which should be about thirty seconds after I get to Admiral Alexander's office.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  Sir, did anyone ever figure out where they were in the galaxy or if they were in our galaxy?

Host XO_Wells says:
CSO: Captain Janeway ended the Borg threat in our world but, I guess it might be worth looking into.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  The reports indicate that they were not able to identify the galaxy or world.  No equipment worked there.

Host XO_Wells says:
TO: I had no idea where we were.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: It's a pity no one took a sketch of the night sky....we'd be able to tell using our stellar cartography whether or not it was in our galaxy....

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CMO:  There are so many uncharted areas of space we know.  Imagine if this was a gateway we could use as a means to travel to and from other universes or galaxies.

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: That might have been a good idea, if we were in an explored sector of the universe.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: We've explored a decent chunk of it....or have we? ::Quickly remembering where she was and suddenly wasn't sure anymore::

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: We've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.  Our galaxy is one of millions, we've only explored a small piece of ours.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Grimaces:: XO: Ahh, I see...

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: We can't live long enough to see much farther, unless you're into cryogenics, which can be quite risky.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Smiles:: XO: But quite possible though.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  So .. maybe you should get a tetanus shot for that cut you had.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  Hush!  I hate sickbay,

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Snickers.::  TO:  I know .. ::Grins.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Catches the "hating sickbay" comment and merely shoots a piercing gaze at the TO:: TO: If I remember correctly, you have a physical exam to complete.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Notices the upload of the data is complete and forwards a copy of the compiled data to the CO and XO's attention.::

Host TO-Weller says:
CMO:  Yes I know, no need to remind me!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Keeps the gaze and straight face until she turns away and hides a smile to herself::

Host FCO says:  
XO:  Sir, we will be arriving at the outer markers of Starbase 33 in 15 minutes.  Slowing to impulse.

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: I used to be the counselor here, and I've done more than my share of time as CMO. If you ever have a difficult patient, one who refuses to comply with regulation examinations, just cut off their holodeck privileges and replicator rations and watch them come running to Sickbay.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Smiles innocently:: XO: Now, sir, could I ever be as evil as that?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Grins at the XO's comment.::  XO:  Any idea what our next mission involves, Commander?

Host XO_Wells says:
FCO: Thanks, you know how to park this thing, so do it.

Host TO-Weller says:
::hrumphs, all doctors are evil::

Host FCO says:  
XO:  Aye Sir, notifying Starbase 33 of our arrival now.

Host XO_Wells says:
CSO: Hopefully our next mission will be investigating the nightlife on Risa looking for those in need of a cute XO wanting to help him forget the last mission.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
To self:  Home sweet home, everyone.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Risa .. Awhhh!  Can I put in a personal request?  ::Laughing.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Blinks:: XO: Risa? What's that?

Host XO_Wells says:
aOPS: Send a message to Admiral Alexander priority one.  Tell her I want to see her immediately upon our arrival.

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: A place to forget your troubles and get a rad tan.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Sounds just groovy. ::Smiles::

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: Yeah, its far out, man.

Host TO-Weller says:
::thinks the XO and CMO have lost their minds;:
