Acting Captain’s Log: Stardate 10404.13: The Captain is alive!  But now I have to go against all that I know is logical and right.  I care not if this act is moral...but pray that the end result is for the greater good of Starfleet, the ship and the crew.  The Captain must come back...the present is where his future lies.  Whether he goes willingly or not...he’s coming back...to the present.  On the planet me and the CIV remain.  On the ship the CEO, OPS and SO are completing both hologram and android projects.  The CTO is on his way back to the ship to help on the bridge and ready some marines for transfer to the planet.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@*Transporter chief* : Chief one to beam up.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: watches her lock on the CO and the rest of the AT ::
SO_Love says:
::In holosuite two, working intensely on the androids brain, the most critical part of the charade they were planning.::

ACTION:  ON THE PLANET, THINGS ARE BEING SET UP FOR THE CELEBRATION.

ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::Remaining on the planet...moves over to the CIV and begins a conversation::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@*Transporter Chief* : Energize.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::picks up the three PADD's and heads for the bridge and Lt. Chaser::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Finishes plotting beam in points::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@ACO: Captain.
Randolph says:
@::walks over to the ACO and the CIV::  ACO/CIV:  What are you two snickering about?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::still thinking about Patrick, I entered the TL and headed for the bridge::

ACTION:  THE CTO IS BEAMED ABOARD THE CLAYMORE.

ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Yes? ::whispers::    Randolph:...Oh nothing
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::steps off the Transporter Pad::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::walks out into the hallway and into the Turbolift::
Randolf says:
@CIV:  Why don't I believe you?
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Looks over, and whispers:: ACO: I have a couple beam in point programmed for the marines to beam in.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Any tactical ideas?  ::whispers::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Main Bridge.
SO_Love says:
::Mumbles under her breath:: After this, I should be a brain surgeon.
SO_Love says:
<Computer> Please repeat your request.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::steps onto the Bridge::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: stands ::
SO_Love says:
::Glares briefly up at nothing then smiles wryly.::  Computer, can I use your brain for this androids?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::goes to Tac 1::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CTO: I yield the br-ridge to you, Sir-r.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: nods to him and bounces off the bridge to the lift ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Whispers:: ACO: Want the good scenario or the worst scenario?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::looks at OPS strangely:: OPS: Aye, Lieutenant.
SO_Love says:
::As silence greets her request, her smile grows.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::walks from Tac 1 down to the chair of Power::
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Excellent...  ::whispers and moves in a bit more::  CIV: Worst...I want us ready for anything...just incase something falls through we need to be ready.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
COMPUTER_R: Holosuite 2
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: exiting the TL on the bridge I walked to Lt. Chaser::  OPS: Lt. Chaser here are the hologram profiles and the programs for the holoemitter.  The holoemitter is already made.  
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: So...ready for the festivities?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: exits the lift entering the suite looking for the SO ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Whispers:: ACO: If we have a clean transport out, we get the Captain, out.  Worst... ::Pulls out his PADD and shows his a map::  We will have to fall back to this point in the city... It is a bottleneck and we can hold the riot down.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::monitors ships shields weapon systems deflector array::
Randolph says:
@::thinks Are the ACO and CIV ignoring me completely?::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::looks up to hand the PADD to OPS and finds that the CTO is there in her place::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
SO: How is the andr-roid coming?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::looks at the CEO::CEO: Yes lieutenant?
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Sounds good...before we begin this switch...the marines should be beamed in...but done so in a way not to look out of place.  Slip them in and ready them for any possibilities.  ::whispers::
SO_Love says:
::Glances up and down at her nice pile of circuits.::  OPS:  I find the concept that this could possibly be an android when we are done amazing.... considering what it looks like now.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: kneels down and begins to try to help the SO ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Whispers:: ACO: Aye Captain.  I'll have them in place slowly.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
SO: What can I do?
Randolph says:
@::standing there listening to this from the CIV and ACO::  ACO/CIV:  What are you two talking about?  ::quite upset that they are ignoring me::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@Randolph: Nothing, sir.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CTO: Lt. Blade what happened to OPS?????  I am supposed to give her this and the PADDs.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: We need to talk to the Captain...  ::turns around::  Randolph: Not a thing sir...nothing at all.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
::whispers::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CEO: She went down to holosuite 2 .
Randolph says:
@ACO/CIV:  I don't think I believe either of you.  It may have been 2000 years since I have worked with you but I still know you.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@Randolph: We were discussing about last night's dinner, it was quite an interesting dish. ::Looks at the Captain::
SO_Love says:
::Nods over to the diagram on the holoconsole::  OPS: Maybe if you worked with the... Hmmm... I think that is supposed to be the left hemisphere and I work on the right... ::smiles::  Think the android will be sane when we are done?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::taps her combadge::  *OPS*: Sir I guess I missed you, Who gets the hologram program, emitter and PADD's?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: laughs out loud something she rarely does :: SO: Aye.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: I do, r-repor-rt to holosuite two I am cer-rtain the SO needs your help with power-r on this andr-roid.
SO_Love says:
OPS:  Looks like you are being paged.  ::Picks up her section and glances over at the diagram::  How is the holo idea working?
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Follow my lead...   ::whispers::  Randolph: Sir...if you must know we have a surprise that were working on for you...for the celebration.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Understood, on my way.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
SO: I believe it is done,
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CTO: ::nods::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: begins snapping circuits into place covering her eyes with a shield as she welds ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::takes all her PADDs and holoemitter and enters the TL:: Computer: Holosuite 2
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@ACO/Randolph: Captain, that was suppose to be a surprise.  ::Hides his PADD::
SO_Love says:
::Looks up surprised::  OPS:  Dang... you guys are fast!  Out of curiosity, what did you two take apart to be able to do that?
Randolph says:
@::Looks at the two suspiciously::  ACO/CIV:  Well, make sure to cover it with Patron.  He will incorporate it.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks thoughtfully at the SO:: SO: take apar-rt?
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: It still is...not much but sorta.  Randolph: We’ll do that.
SO_Love says:
::Sits back::  OPS:  You put it together from scratch?  In that amount of time?  ::Looks a bit put out at her work::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks puzzled :: SO: I have honor-rs in hologr-raphic studies.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Do you think we could "work" something up for the "surprise?"  ::whispers::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::exits the TL and heads to Holosuite 2 and enters it::  OPS: Here is the holoemitter ::hands her the small beautiful gold bracelet::  the PADDs with the information requested and all the material you sent me on the hologram specifications.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Whispers:: ACO: Always.
SO_Love says:
OPS:  Ohhh...  ::Shakes head::  Still... any ways,  I still think this idea is better then the holo one for the long haul, but if yours is ready...  ::Shrugs::  Should we even continue with this?  ::Looks up at the CEO::
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: It might even explain some of the marines...  ::whispers again::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::nods at the SO::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: leaps lightly to her feet ::
Randolph says:
@::Turns around and walks away::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: accepts the bracelet and the PADDs ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Whispers:: ACO: It might even be a big bang.  ::Smiles::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS: I did all I could with the memory anagrams and I even added things, ::lowers her head:: certain personal things between us that should make it more acceptable.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::whispers:: CIV:I can only imagine.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: peers at the CEO, with an almost tender look :: CEO : I hope this was not too har-rd on you, J'Loni.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: flips the bracelet over in her hand looking at the circuitry ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::keeps her head and eyes to the floor::  OPS:  I was extremely hard to do what I had to do.  One does not talk about certain rites............::lets the sentence die::
SO_Love says:
::Looks from one to the other::  OPS/CEO:  Then should I continue with this?  It will take many hours yet before it is even testable...  ::Looks at the pile::  Though the outer body is ready.  Donavan is working on the mechanical aspects of it.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: nods to the CEO::  SO: Unless the ACO says to stop I believe we should combine our effor-rts her-re.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
SO/OPS: The power source is able to be self - refueling when needed.  I have it programmed to draw power from the surrounding areas of the temple without having it show up on any type of sensors.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: puts on the bracelet and puts the PADDs at her waist goes back to sodering circuits ::
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Given it is only a wake for two days out the year or whenever they wake him, I am not to worried about that... yet.  ::Goes back to her work.::  I wonder how the others are doing on their abduction scheming.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::readies the transporter system::
SO_Love says:
::Looks at the engineer.::  CEO:  Ummm... ma'am... you do realize, you are not going to have a very happy captain on your hands when we pull this off?
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@ACO: I'd better prepare the marines.  ::Pulls out his PADD::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
SO/OPS: The hologram has been programmed to deceive any and all attempts to scan it for life signs.  I have programmed it to give off false bio signs to match exactly to the captain.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Good...  *SO/OPS/CEO*: How is the "project" going?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
SO: Yes, I know it will be very hard but I believe what I have of him from the time of his death, should make the change easier for him to accept.
SO_Love says:
::Glances at the diagram and picks up one of the resonating crystals.  Eyeing it a moment, she picks up the laser and carefully smoothes one of the facets.::
SO_Love says:
::Hearing CIV, she keeps a steady hand and lets one of the others answer.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: You may answer-r the ACO. :: goes back to her work ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: Sir, at the OPS request, I have completed all work on the holoemitter and the holomatrix of the hologram.  SO Love and OPS Chaser are working on the android as we speak.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: Understood.  How much more time are we talking about?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: Also, sir, I have made all programs for the transport and implementation of the hologram or android when the time comes to go smoothly.
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Does the captain like to sing? ::Slips the crystal into its casing.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: The SO just asked me if you like to sing?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: lifts an eyebrow at the CEO thinking who made the matrix and the program? ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*Falcon Company*: Prepare to beam down, gentlemen.
SO_Love says:
::Looks surprised at the engineer.::  CEO:  Errr... no, not that captain.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: Yea...
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: And Captain Randolph does too.
SO_Love says:
::Hearing Taylor's reply blushes and hangs her head with a smile.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: Ops, sir, wrong Captain.  ::blushes::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: thinks never mind, don't say anything, and just goes on with her work ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
SO: Yes, he does very much.

ACTION:  THE CELEBRATION BEGINS!

SO_Love says:
CEO:  Then I guess I should give this thing the ability to sing.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: Sir at the present, the hologram idea is tested and ready to go, however, the android idea is still being worked on.
SO_Love says:
::Looks at OPS with a touch of mischief on what songs to program it.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
SO: How long do you thing it will take to complete the android and program it?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: winks at the SO, can think of a few good songs ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
<Falcon Company>: *CTO*: Yes, sir. ::Steps onto the pad::  Ready to beam down.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: Si,r I am waiting for an answer from SO Love.
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Properly?  ::Looks at OPS::  Much longer then it took Lt Chaser to create the holo unit and you to program it.  I don't know... easily a week.  Three days... ::Looks at the mess::  If we all work day and night.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: It sounds like the celebration has started.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Moves to one side of a building observing::
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: I'm glad that you and OPS have got the hologram done together.  Let the SO know that time is running out...prime opportunity will be during the celebration...
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: SO Love reports that the android could take three days if they work all day and night it might but for it working properly, is unknown.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::energizes the transporter::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: The SO heard you, sir.  All three of us are here together.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks at the SO and shrugs ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
SO/OPS: You heard the ACO, time is running out and we must act during the celebration for this to work correctly and unnoticed as well.
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: Ok...Do you think it will be possible to get the android working sooner than three days?
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Then that leaves the holoprogram only.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
ALL: Ladies?? Do we try to get the android sooner than three days or is it agreed to go with the hologram?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: We are trying to decide now.  Standby
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: Understood...
SO_Love says:
::Sighs::  CEO:  I don't see how we can logically succeed in less that time.  While androids have come a long way, they are not made overnight... OK... perhaps some places they are.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: listens to the others thinking :: SO: I am willing to wor-rk ar-round the clock.
SO_Love says:
::Looks from Chaser to the engineer::  CEO:  If nothing else, it will be a back up.  ::Smiles::  And when the captain is in trouble, he can blame it on his double?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: smiles widely ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: Sir the celebration is for two days up to tomorrow night correct?  If that is the case all three of us can attempt to do the android if you want but we have come to agree that the hologram is the way to go first.  The android can be used as a backup if needed.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: patiently wires the left half of the android captain's brain ::
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: You read my mind...Continue working on the android and do what you can.  If its not completed before the captain enters stasis...then we go ahead with the hologram.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::watches OPS:: OPS: Be careful not to cross the two leads or they will feed back on you and destroy the matrix.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: glances the CEO and continues, she knows what she is doing ::
SO_Love says:
::Picking up the microdriver, she picks up the unit to see it better and gently adds the next connection.  To no one in particular::  Did you know that the brains neurons are said to number the stars in the galaxy?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*ACO*: Understood sir.  Continue on the android and if not ready by the time of the captain’s return to stasis we well execute the hologram program.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
SO: Yes, and so do hair-rs on your-r head!
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*CEO*: Excellent...Me and the CIV will remain on the planet...and continue preparations...keep me posted Lt.
SO_Love says:
::Mock seriously::  OPS:  I am not counting each hair we put on the android’s head.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::scans the sector for anomalies and hostile ships::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Observes the crowd reactions and makes notes::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
SO/OPS: The ACO said for us to continue on our present course and if the android is not ready by the time the captain goes into stasis to execute the hologram program.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::walks away from them and sits down against the back wall of the holodeck thinking::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: finishes threading the wire and connects the polar end to the matrix, leaving the other open::
SO_Love says:
CEO: Got it...  ::Sighs as she stretches her back and glances at the chronometer::  Someone bringing us dinner tonight?  ::Reaches for the next circuit.::
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::types a few lines into his PADD working on some "idea" for Randolph's surprise::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pulls the open wire through the breaker circuit and taps it into place ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::nods at the SO and gets up and leaves the holodeck to get something for them to eat but stops to put her head in her hands and cries silently::
