CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::is going over her engineering reports::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::Looks over at the XO::  XO:  Well Alex, now that that is done.  Lets make our way to the bridge.  ::Gets up and walks to the door and exits his ready room::  OPS:  Report.
SO_Love says:
:: Jumping out of bed, a quick glance at her blouse and she pulls out a clean, unwrinkled one.  Quickly she tosses it on, throws water on her face and grabs a brush to yank the knots from her hair, practically hopping on one foot in her rush.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Aye.  ::follows the Captain and sits in his chair.
 SO_Love says:
:: Almost stumbling on her feet, she tosses the brush onto the dresser, hearing it clatter to the floor as she dashes out the door.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: All clear, Sir.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Long range sensors detect a small vessel approaching the system.
SO_Love says:
:: Entering the turbolift, she drums her fingers in frustration as she orders it to the bridge.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Rereads the report from the SO...so many possibilities and so many who did its::
SO_Love says:
:: As the doors open she tries to make a graceful stumble from the lift as she heads for her station.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir a small vessel now entering the system.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::walks over to the CO's Chair::  CTO:  Can you identify it?
SO_Love says:
:: Hearing the Vulcan CTO, she quickly logs on and pulls up sensors reading.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: scurries to the OPS station to open a channel ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks back to the SO...trying to sneak in::
SO_Love says:
:: Scans through the information, ignoring Alex, almost positive he is staring at her.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Starfleet ID long range shuttle.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
CTO:  Open hailing frequencies.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Sees Chey ignoring him and stands up and heads back to her station::  SO: Morning...
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: puts the incoming ship on the view screen ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Aye, Sir,
SO_Love says:
CO:  One life form registering.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::opens hailing frequencies:: CO: Open, Sir.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Shuttle:  This is Captain Patrick Randolph of the Federations Starship Claymore.  Please respond.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: listens for any unusual traffic on the comm lines ::
SO_Love says:
:: Sighs as she glances up at him.::  XO:  Morning... sir.  Did you get my report?
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@::On the shuttle Winnipeg heading for a rendezvous with the Claymore::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
XO: Yes...reptilian people huh...interesting.
SO_Love says:
XO:  More interesting is all the timing and the missing information.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
COM: USS Winnipeg: Captain Randolph  we are transporting a temp CEO to you and have new orders for your CEO Ens. Deer.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: My only thoughts are they used this civilization for their weapons...on the base...Tucker found them testing and worked out a deal...conceals...and glazes over the truth.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks hmmmm and checks for confirmation of transfer ::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: Confi-rrmed transfer -r for-r CEO Deer-r, sir-r.
SO_Love says:
XO:  But... that is so... cold.  Oh... did you read the addendum I sent in later?  I tried to look up the candidates :: Barely catches a wide yawn::  Sorry... anyways, I couldn't find any of them.  Nadda.  As if they just vanished.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Starfleet Shuttlecraft Winnipeg, Sir.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
CTO:  Hail them again.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::hails again::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The shuttle requests clearance to dock.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: The shuttle is requesting to dock.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO:I hadn't read the addendum.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
CTO:  Permission granted.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: opens shuttle bay doors ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::hails the shuttle:: Winnipeg: You are cleared to dock Winnipeg.
SO_Love says:
:: Gets a slightly guilty look and turns to her console and pulls up the report.  Heavy sigh.::  XO:  I guess it would have helped if I had sent it.  Sorry about that.  I was up very late last night.  I had gone to bed when the idea popped into my head.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The shuttle docks smoothly and the usual procedures follow for a personnel transfer.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>:: brings the ship around after the docking back to a standard orbit :::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO:Sir the shuttle has docked successfully.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: closes the bay doors ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Might have...tell me about your findings.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The planet's president hails Claymore directly.
SMDave is now known as PrezTucker.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO : Sir-r, the Pr-resident is hailing fr-rom the planet.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
OPS:  On Screen.  ::straightens his uniform::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: puts the incoming message on screen and holds her breath ::
SO_Love says:
:: nods and pulls up the data she had compiled.::  XO:  Here is a list of all the candidates.  ::Moves to the next column.::  Here is their reasons for dropping out.  As you can see, all of them are reasonable.  And here... :: Slides the next column::  Is the last dates I could find of when they had been seen.  I cannot find anything on them from here on out.  Just as if they had vanished.
Host PrezTucker says:
COM:CO: ::pleasantly:: It has come to my attention that several Starfleet officers gained unauthorized access to one of our facilities, Captain.  Is this true?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks down at her console hoping no one notices her ::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::looks at the familiar surrounds of the Claymore and heads for the bridge to report in to the Captain and give him the orders::
SO_Love says:
:: Ignorning the screen, is unable to ignore what is being said.  Slips slightly down in her chair, not looking back.::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::still sitting on the bridge at her station going over the readouts and is listening to the bridge conversations::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>:: rolls her eyes at the President, thinking oh boy ::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Tucker:  Not to my knowledge Madam President.  This is the first that I have heard of it.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::looks around at the bridge crew::
SO_Love says:
:: Whispers::  XO:  While not identical, it is basically within range.  They tended to drop out one month before the election and then about a week or so after the election... give or take.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: glances at the FCO out of the corner of her eye ::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
Self: Feels good to be back again.  ::stepping into the turbo lift::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::doesn't look up but keeps on scanning::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::whispers:: SO: All seems interesting...I wonder...if they were forced.  ::grins::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>:: winks at OPS and makes herself look very very busy ::
SO_Love says:
:: Trying really really hard to ignore what is going on behind her.::  XO:  Yea.. but we are talking about hundereds here.  That is... well, it is a lot!
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::exits the bridge and feels the presence of her good friend Ens. Deer::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::walking up to the CO and hands him the orders::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Lt. J'Trel B'Renak reporting again sir for duty.
Host PrezTucker says:
COM:CO: ::turns stern:: Now, Captain.  I believe Starfleet and the Federation to be a trustworthy organization.  Should I reassess that opinion?
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::hears the voice of her friend she looks up and sees her and smiles but can't help but wonder why she is back::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: suddenly fells sick to her stomach but keeps on working ::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Tucker:  No Madam President.  That will not be needed.  Allow me to question my officers and I will report back to you as soon as I have some answers.  Will one hour's time do?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::running continuous scans::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::takes the orders from the CEO::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::whispers::  SO: Well maybe they were used as a way to show that the president had competition...and then dropped...sort of a political boosting move.
SO_Love says:
XO:  Yea but... so many.  Don't you think people would get suspicious?  I am sorry...  with that kind of precedent, I would not want to run.
Host PrezTucker says:
COM: CO: I think one hour to be too much time, Captain.  I will expect a response within 15 minutes.
 OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>:: glances at the screen and then goes back to monitoring their orbit ::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The comm is cut.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::Turns to the XO::  XO:  Commander, I want the senior staff in the Observation Lounge right now!
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: To me is seems it was an understood win for the Tucker's...and that only they ruled...and that might be the pact they have with the Breen...to keep peace.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Aye sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: gulps and turns to nod at her replacement and bounds out of her chair ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks at the CO and shuts down her station and heads for the observation lounge::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
ALL: Senior Staff to the Observation Lounge.  ::Moves to the Observation Lounge::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Or it could simply be they made it seem so... :: Her shoulders slumped, she stands up and follows.::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::Turns and starts to walk toward the OL and enters::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
:: has no idea of what is happening but goes with the senior staff into the observation lounge::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>:: sits tight ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: No clue.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::He makes his way to a view port and looks out the window at Tucker's Planet::
SO_Love says:
:: Slips into her seat.::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::takes a seat quickly::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: bounces nervously toward the observation lounge before she realizes it and drops to a regular stride as she enters ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::takes her seat and sits quickly::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::reporting to the OL::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::takes a seat and looks to the Captain::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: takes a seat near the door in the back ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::takes the seat nearest to the door::
SO_Love says:
:: Does not look at the captain, but at the swirls on the desk.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: her tail lashes behind her ::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::Continues to look out the window and stands silent::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
ALL:  Ten Hut!
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: Jumps to attention ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::goes to Attn::
SO_Love says:
:: Jumps to attention.::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::jumps to attention::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::jumps to attention::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::jumps to attention:::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::turns::  ALL:  ::Calmly::  I want to know what President Tucker is talking about and I want to know now.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>::monitors the bridge ::
SO_Love says:
:: Stares ahead, wanting to look at Alex.::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::is stumped by what is going on cause she just got there::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::is standing like a rock not moving::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Looks around the room and then back to the Captain::  CO: Sir...through this mission we have been hit with numerous walls.  Unfortunately this was one of them.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
::looks at the XO in surprise and then calms down again::  XO:  Go on.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: We tried to obtain the historical data from the planet...however...they would not hand it over...nor could we just view it.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
XO:  So there was a break in of sorts in an attempt to view historical data?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: gulps and holds her hands tightly in her lap growing more and more nervous, her tail lashing faster and faster behind her ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: This puzzled us.  We tried to contact them and get the information...I even tried and was turned down.  So to me it seemed they were hiding something...so I gave orders for the obtaining of the data.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Yes.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
XO:  So you took it upon yourself to order this attempt to gain information of historical significance?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>::  slaves the flight console to the command chair and heads up to the command deck taking the big chair ::
SO_Love says:
:: Wonders if she should step forward as it had been her idea, but then Kayle's face came to mind and she held her tongue.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Yes sir.  I believed this information could help us...and I didn't think it was a problem to view it.  I believed we had a right to see their past.  We did come here to possibly bring them into Star Fleet...and I figured if they were hiding something we, Star Fleet, needed to know.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks about telling the Captain she was at command during the operation ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::raises eyebrow::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: So I take the full responsibility for the actions that have taken place sir.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::thinks about her part in the little raiding party and that she should come and say something in defense of the team::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: President Tucker hails Claymore once again.
SO_Love says:
:: Bites her bottom lip to keep silent.::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
XO:  I see.  I want the names of the other officer's involved on my desk.  Commander you and I will need to have a chat after this.  The rest of you...::looks around with some anger and disgust:: ...dismissed.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Aye sir.
SO_Love says:
:: Stays in her place.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>:: looks at the incoming hail from the planet a moment before contacting the CO ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::doesn't move::
SO_Love says:
:: Waits for the others to leave.::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::also waits for the others to leave::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::takes out his PADD...and puts his name down::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::calmly gets up and walks out::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::and exits the room::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>*CO*: Sir, incoming message from the planet, sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: nods to the CO and scurries out of the OL and directly to her station ::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::leaves the Observation lounge but stays close to the doors as she has not been properly spoken to::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
*FCO*  Route to the Observation Lounge please.  ::sees Ensign Love and motions for her to standby::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks at the SO and nods::
SO_Love says:
:: Looks sadly at Deer and mouths a good bye and good luck to her.::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Tucker:  This is Captain Randolph.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>::*CO*: Aye, Captain.  :: routes the message as ordered relinquishing the chair ::
Host PrezTucker says:
COM:CO: Captain, I am late for an appointment.  Do you have any answers for me?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<Edit put my statement before the CO ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks back at Love and shakes head no and mouths she is not going anywhere till this is finished::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
<FCO_Flybynight>:: goes back to her station, routing flight control back to her console and watching their orbit ::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::senses her friend as her loyalty to her comrades is paramount::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Tucker:  Yes Madam President.  It appears that information was witheld from my officers...the same officers that will be reporting to Starfleet on your acceptance or non acceptance to the Federation.
SO_Love says:
:: Walks over to her and very quietly.::  CEO:  You went by my orders...  Go... I wish you the best on your new command.  ::Smiles::  Don't make me give that as an order.  ::Winks::  Go...
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Tucker:  Is this true Madam President.
Host PrezTucker says:
COM:CO: Excuse me?  What information?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks perhaps she should talk to the CO ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks up:: SO: I will not leave you to take the blame alone. Please Love don't do this.  I don't want to think I ran out on you at this critical time.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::at tactical contemplating what happened in the OL::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Sits in his chair...and knows this could be his last...and types his name again...not wanting to turn in his crew on his orders::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Tucker:  Apparently members of my crew requested to see historical information of some sort and were denied even my first officer.  Is this the normal practice Madam President?  Because of this, my officer's felt information was being witheld and would damage the acceptance of you planet into the Federation.
SO_Love says:
CEO:  But you are not.  Nor is there anything you can do to help.  ::Smiles.::  And I promise to make sure your name is on that list.  :: A look of pleading enters her eyes.::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks at her and sees the pleading in her eyes::  SO: Ok but I do this under protest.  I feel like a coward.  ::kisses her and turns and leaves the observation lounge::
Host PrezTucker says:
COM: CO: So you and your officers felt that it was time to break into one of our facilities and steal the information?  Is this standard Starfleet protocol?  ::seeming very defensive::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: stares defiantly at the view screen, wishing she could speak ::
SO_Love says:
:: Blinks in surprise at the kiss. Quietly::  Good luck ensign.  :: Then turns back to wait for the captain.::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
COM: Tucker:  No Madam President, it is not standard protocol.  I will be dealing my officers in the appropriate manner but I also see a problem with the withholding of information.   I do not agree with my officer's decision but we must understand that such information may and will be required by the Federation eventually.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
    <FCO_Flybynight>:: thinks she'd like to accidentally on purpose cut the comm but doesn't dare ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
Self: I hate this more than anyone knows.  ::walks onto the bridge::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks at her friends that she has made in such a short time and walks up to the XO::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Sir Permission to disembark?
Host PrezTucker says:
COM: CO: ::suddenly quite angry:: I'm sorry, Captain, but I no longer have time for this discussion.  I will be in touch soon...to be sure.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::follows her friend to the XO::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CEO: Granted...and good luck.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The com is cut
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
      :: thinks good riddance ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Thank you sir.
Host CO_Capt_Randolph_ says:
SELF:  Damn politicians.
SO_Love says:
:: Sighs... that was not good... not good at all.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CEO: Your very welcome.
SO_Love says:
:: Looks a bit leerily at the captain.::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::turns to J'Trel:: CEO: Lt. J'Trel B'Renak I stand relieved of my duties.  Engineering is yours once again.
Host SMDave says:
