FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::sits down after coming on duty at the conn, still reveling from the new full pip on his collar, checks engine status and sends a text to SB OPS seeking permission to depart::
SO_Love says:
:: In the science lab going over some new data.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::In the new weapons lab on Deck 6 unpacking the equipment and getting set up::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Sitting in his chair on the bridge::  FCO:  Are we ready to depart?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks around the lab and thinks: A little small but.....::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::is double loading torpedo bays just in case::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::in engineering checking and rechecking the stats::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::On the bridge...PADD in hand, finishing up reports and briefings::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
CO: We are yes Sir, just awaiting clearance from 55's Operation.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Checks the time:: Self: Good, 10 minutes to my meeting with the Captain.  I have time to get this corner set up.  ::Grabs a box and moves over to the corner of the room and begins placing tools on a small table::

ACTION: SB 55 Clears Claymore for departure.

FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::acknowledges 55's clearance and brings the Claymore slowly up to 1/2 impulse:: CO: Ops has cleared us Captain, moving at 1/2 sublight till we clear their perimeter.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CEO*: Blade to B'Renak; Lieutenant I need you to calibrate the tachyon emitters to discharge bursts that will rotate shield harmonics.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: peeks out the door of the head and looks around to see if the coast is clear ::
SO_Love says:
:: Pulls up the test results and goes through them.::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CTO*: One step ahead of you already doing it.  Should be done in 5 minutes.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CEO*: Very good.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Tosses the empty box on the floor then walks over to the main work counter.  Uses her arm to "sweep" assorted debris from the top onto the floor and clears space for more equipment::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::enters in a course for 'Tuckers Planet', warp 6, and prepares to engage upon passing the outer markers::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Sitting in his chair...scrolling through the crew for survey teams::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: sneaks into the corridor smoothing her mane and her uniform before heading on to the bridge ::
SO_Love says:
*XO* :  You busy?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Hefts a large piece of equipment onto the countertop then makes a few adjustments to it.  Checks the time:: Self: Time to go!  ::Tugs and brushes dust off her uniform.  Quickly runs her fingers through her hair then exits the lab headed for the Bridge::

ACTION: Claymore clears Starbase 55's out defense perimeter.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  You have the bridge Commander.  I am going to my Ready Room.  Please keep me apprised if something changes.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*SO*: Not at all...
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Aye sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: takes her station ::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
XO: We've cleared the perimeter Commander, course set for Tuckers Planet at warp 6 per the Captains orders.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*SO*: Just took the bridge.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*SO*: Any information on this planet or the system?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::gets up and enters his ready room::
SO_Love says:
*XO*;  I finally have some test results on the Skree shielding... if you can call them that.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.  ::Brushes dust off her sleeves::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Aye...keep her on course.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*SO*: Interesting...what do the results show?
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
XO: Aye . . ::engages the warp engines at warp 6 for Tucker’s Planet in the Renlaz system::
SO_Love says:
*CEO*:  Other then what we given?  No ma'am.  I gather we will learn much more when we get there... part of our job this trip around.
SO_Love says:
*XO*:  How little we know?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge.  Pauses a moment to look around before making her way to the Captain's Ready Room.  Nods to the XO as she passes:: XO: Sir...
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*SO*: Well Ensign...what little do we know...?  ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*SO*: I don't like not knowing what we are getting into.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CIV: Commander.  ::nods::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Stops in front of the Ready Room doors and presses the door chime::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CO*: Sir I have loaded the torpedo bays and Lieutenant B'Renak has calibrated the tachyon emitters to rotate shield harmonics.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CO*: Anything else you would like done to prepare us for the Breen or Ferengi?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks at the new officer with a wondering eye ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*: Go ahead and run all tactical systems through drills.  
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Polishes her boots on the back of her pant legs::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::glances down at the information on the region they are heading into, polishing himself on the local history while monitoring the conn::
SO_Love says:
:: Tosses the data PADD aside and stands to stretch.::  *XO*:  It is coated with some kind of material that absorbs certain frequencies of sensor signals.  But I can't seem to replicate it nor do I quite understand how it does that.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::Begins to initiate phaser and photon torpedo drills::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Raises an eyebrow and presses the door chime again::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Feels a little embarrassed standing there staring at the ready room doors::
SO_Love says:
*CEO*:  Ummm... the planet is basically stable though temperate?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CIV*: Enter.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*SO*: Seems like it has an interesting coat...wouldn't you say?  Would there be a way to over absorb its coat...or counter it...maybe gain an edge on it?
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*SO*: Thanks When you have more let me know.
SO_Love says:
*CEO*:  Aye ma'am.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Watches the doors slide open and thinks: It's about time!  Walks in and comes to attention:: CO: Lieutenant Commander Ryan reporting as ordered, Sir!
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::begins putting all of the tactical systems through drills::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  At ease Lt. Commander Ryan.  Have a seat if you wish.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Sits down in one of the chairs in front of the CO's desk:: CO: Thank you, Sir.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::reads over the reports and turns to Alex:: XO: Ya know I've never been in combat with the Breen,  says here the border we are near isn't laid out very well.
SO_Love says:
*XO*:  I am setting up the next round of testing to find out what all frequencies it can absorb and not absorb.  I will add that to my list.  I am thinking if we find either the right frequency or can short it out your way... well, at least we might see what is there.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Would you like something to drink?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: No thank you, Sir, I'm good.  ::Waves her hand nonchalantly::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*SO*: I agree...I'd love to see some of the tests...maybe get my hands dirty and help out sometime.  Because whatever knowledge we gain will greatly help us in the future.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CO*:I have finished the systems drills Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: I don't think borders are ever really laid out very well.   ::grins::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Fidgets a bit::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Well, I will help myself.  ::walks over and orders a cup of coffee.::  Computer:  Coffee.  Hazelnut.  Dash of Sugar.  CIV:  Have you settled in Commander?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: squirms in her chair still not feeling all that well ::
SO_Love says:
*XO*:  Well, as there is not much I can do until we get to the planet, I am going to play in the holodeck.  More room to set up. If you need me or want to join me, feel free to come and 'get dirty'.  ::Smiles as she begins to gather some materials.::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
XO: Well I suppose not, ::glances back at the conn:: XO: 10 Hours till we find out.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*OPS*: How are your power outputs?  All in the green?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Watches the CO's moves trying to get a "feel" for the man:: CO: Somewhat, Sir.  My lab is...well...sort of a mess right now, but I should have everything set up by tomorrow then I can get back to work.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Aye, I have a gr-reen boar-rd.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
* SO* Good idea...keep in touch with your progress...and I'll contact you if I can get a little dirty.  FCO: 10 Hours of wait...not sure if I can contain myself.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*OPS*: Holler at me if you need anymore.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Aye, aye, Chaser-r out.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::walks over and sits down::  CIV:  Well that is actually what I want to talk to you about.  I read your file but to be honest, I don't know what you are supposed to do here.  What are your specialties and how do you see them benefiting the Claymore and her crew?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: gulps trying to keep her churning stomach at bay ::
SO_Love says:
*XO*:  Catch you later then.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*SO*: Until then.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Well, Sir...my specialty is weapons, defensive and offensive systems.  If you read my file, you know I was at one time Chief of Tactical on the USS Paula Greene.  Now I am into research and development of new weapon technologies.
SO_Love says:
:: Begins to fill her arms with anything she can think of:: *FCO*: Are we still on for lunch?  I want to do some sketches if you don't mind.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::raises an eyebrow:: *SO*: What  . . . kind of sketches?
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::padds around in her office making last minute changes to work rosters::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: I am here to assist in whatever capacity you might require and to develop and test new weapons technologies.  This could be quite handy in certain situations, Sir.  I have a few prototypes in my bag.
SO_Love says:
:: Fully laden, makes her way down the corridor.:: *FCO*:  The kind where you put pencil to paper and draw lines.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Looks at the CIV for a moment...pondering::  CIV:  Commander, for the record, I read your file.   I know what your history has been.  You have prototypes?  Have those prototypes been cleared?
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
*SO*: I'll dig you  up some crayons then and hopefully met you for lunch, pending the Breen don’t give us any trouble.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Cleared, Sir?  They are prototypes...still in the testing phase but very promising.  ::Smiles::
SO_Love says:
:: Enters the turbolift::  Computer, holodeck 2.
SO_Love says:
*FCO*:  Hmmm... Crayons... you been swiping Dali's?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: reads the database on Tucker's planet ::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
<chuckles> *SO*: I would never enter your quarters unauthorized missy, I'll contact you in a few.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Exactly.  They are prototypes.  I take it you didn't clear them with my Chief Tactical Officer or my Operations Officer?  ::raises an eyebrow:: 
SO_Love says:
:: Mutters::  My roommate would kill me if Dali moved in...  ::Steps off the turbolift and heads for the room in question.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Well, Sir...not as yet...no.  I was going to wait until my lab was set up first, Sir so that I can demonstrate the prototypes.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*XO*: Sir, engineering is ready for any type of problem should arise.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CEO*: Excellent...I hope none does...but good to know she's ready.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  I see.  I want them cleared as soon as possible.  Being a past CTO of a starship, I am sure you would agree they need to be cleared.  I am also assuming you will be keeping your lab off limits to anyone but you, the XO and myself.

FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::makes sure the course is correct and checks short range and long range navigational sensors::
SO_Love says:
:: Accessing the doors, enters the gridded room and puts all her equipment to the side, then exits.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Sees the look of concern etched on the CO's face:: CO: I can assure you, Captain, I will take every precaution.  As soon as I'm set up, I will request the CTO and XO to come and visit.  ::Beams::
SO_Love says:
:: Pulls up the program lists set up for science, then keys the one she wants.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Understood.  I will be upfront with you Commander.  Your weapons lab makes this ship a target for an attack, especially by the Ferengi...::shakes his head::  I am holding you to taking every precaution to protect that lab.  I also don't want part of my ship missing becuase of a "test."
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::turns around in his chair:: XO: Can I make a suggestion for you to take to the Captain?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Sure...What is it?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Missing, Sir?  Oh...oh...not to worry, Captain.
SO_Love says:
:: Waits a moment to comply, then enters the room that resembles nothing like it really is.::  Gotta love this technology.  ::Goes to gather her odds-n-ends.::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
XO: Well this is an inquiry into their value as a Federation member, I'd like to take a shuttle and scope out the mining facilitys and some of the other operations that the inhabitants have working on the other planets and moons.  Check out their attention to safety protocals and what not.  Since you and the CO will likely be busy being diplomats.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Good.  I am going to hold you to that too Commander.  I have yet to officially welcome you to this crew...so Welcome Aboard Commander.  This is a very tightly knit crew.  I am sure we will find a place to sew you in.  ::smiles::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Stands and offers his hand::
SO_Love says:
:: Looks at the testing unit, places the peices of shield inside the protective barrier, then attaches the nodes.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Stands quickly and grasps the CO's hand firmly:: CO: Thank you, Sir.  I'm happy to be aboard.  I have read the crew profiles.  Your crew is exceptional and I am honored to be among them.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
FCO: It sounds like a very good idea...I'll run it by him and inquire if it would be possible.  I think that would really give us another view of what else is happening around the area...and not just on the planet.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
XO: Exactly.  ::turns back to the conn::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CTO*: You want me to fine tune the shields just to be safe.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  You should be.  Well, I will let you be on your way then.  You are dismissed Ms. Ryan.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CEO*: Yes please Lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CTO*: I don't like not knowing what is ahead for us.  May sound simple but you never know.
SO_Love says:
:: Checking to make sure it is secure, she steps back and sets up a 'bubble' around it.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Comes to attention and does an about-face quickly stepping through the RR doors onto the Bridge::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CEO*: Neither do I Lieutenant but it gives me some ease to be able to know I can defend myself.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CTO*: Understood and I am the same way.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::glances over as the CIV exits the RR then peers back at Alex::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Take the bridge...I'm going to go run the idea.  ::stands up and lays his PADD in his chair::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Looks over some information on his monitor and takes a sip of his coffee.  Then he taps the comm on his desk::  *XO*  Randolph to the bridge.  Report Commander Taylor.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the XO on her way off the Bridge:: XO: Sir...
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: keeps her head faced forward but watches as the new officer enters the bridge from the corner of her eye ::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::nods and walks over to the command chair, moves the XO's PADD over to his chair and takes the bridge::
SO_Love says:
:: The bubble set, she evacuates all air from inside it, creating a double system, both representing space.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 6.  ::Wiggles a finger into the collar of her shirt.  Stretches it away from her neck::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CIV*: Cmdr Ryan, welcome aboard.  Please don't hesitate to ask me for anything you might need from engineering.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CIV: Cmdr.   *CO*: Yes sir...We are still on course...at last check we were 10 hours away.  The SO has gotten a little head way on the Breen's shield (coating)...and Engineering is ready for anything.   As well the FCO has made a suggestion about taking a crew or two out to other areas around the planet.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks surprised at getting a COM from someone on the ship:: *CEO*: Uhh...thank you??
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Has he?  If you can spare him, send him to my ready room.  I will discuss it with him.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CIV*: You are quite welcome.  I am Lt. B'Renak the CEO.  It is my pleasure to serve you in any fashion.  ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
<Skree>::standing near the CO's ready room::  *CO*: Aye sir...He's on his way.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Walks over to the FCO::  FCO: Well Kayle...looks like you get to have a little fun now...  ::walks over to his PADD and picks it up::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Walks out of the turbolift headed back to her lab:: *CEO*: I am Lieutenant Commander Ryan...the new Weapons Research Specialist.  I'm happy to...uhh... meet you.  I may require your assistance in my new lab once I get things set up.
SO_Love says:
:: Sets the camera's and sensors around the area.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::speaks in a secretary voice::  FCO: The Captain will see you now.  ::smiles::
SO_Love says:
:: Glances around the room to make sure everything is set and ready to go.::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::smiles and walks over to the ready room door and hits the chime::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*OPS*: How you feeling. Feeling better I hope.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps a security code into the door control pad to open the lab.  Enters when the doors open::
SO_Love says:
:: Picking up a PADD, glances at the various frequencies and begins to imput a changing cycle.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Enter.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CEO*: I'll live. :: she shakes her head ::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::walks into the ready room:: CO: Sir . . . .
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Takes his chair...and looks ahead::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*OPS*: Cheer up we have a lunch date between shifts remember?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Have a seat Kayle...tell me about this plan of yours...
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Aye, we do. :: Sighs ::
