MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Lifts a third PADD in her fingers, and compares the third set of scans::
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
FCO: Ah, no sir, I've been off duty for a while.

CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Sitting in the corner of Raeyld's room, reading a book::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::nods:: EO: Very well. ::goes back to pacing behind the CONN::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::after a moment, he thumbs the PADD to the next page, continuing to absently read::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::looks back at the CO exiting the turbolift:: CO: We are traveling at 3/4 impulse, our ETA to the planet is... ::checks console:: 48 years and a few months. I am waiting for an updated report from Engineering regarding our warp drive.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::sits up, and looks around, frowning a bit, then sits back a bit.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Scrolls down through the list on his PADD, double-checking for any omissions::

:: With the unit finally disassembled, she places them in the same order as the screen::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Slides one of the two PADDs in front of him across the desk, without looking up::  Sren:  Nurse, Ensign Fong is cleared for duty.  Would you please inform him that he has been released, and process his paperwork?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Nods, as she picks up the PADDs:: Sokov: Yes, Doctor. Anything else?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Lifts his head, staring at the wall rather purposefully...then reads through the list a third time::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
EO: Yes, I need warp drive on this ship.  We cannot sit here and take 48 years to travel 18 lightyears.  I need warp seven minimum, and I don't care if you have to patch the warp drive with silly putty, a paper clip, and toothpaste. I just need it, and I need it now.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Lifts the fourth PADD, and frowns as she compares now the captain's readings to the three medical personnel's::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::can feel the effects of the Lexorin fading, much to her relief; she can finally sense emotions in the people around her instead of feeling like she was talking to robots with no emotions and thoughts::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  Sren:  That is all.  ::Refocuses on his report, though it was never evident that he'd removed his attention from it in the first place::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::is a little surprised at the Captain's intensity, but decides to just sit down at the CONN::
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
CO: Yessir. ::enters the TL:: Computer: Main engineering.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks over at the FCO without a response figuring he just heard her reaction to the EO.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Nods once more, with a good-natured smile now that she's certain the Vulcan's attention is elsewhere.  Turns and makes her way to Fong's location::

CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Following the schematics, she proceeds to rebuild the unit.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Pushes the table away from his bedside and stands -- for the first time since being confined to the room -- and approaches the door::
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
::arrives in ME and looks around. Turns to one of the on-duty EOs:: aEO: What's the problem?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Hesitates a bit, caught a bit off guard that it opened, as he had assumed Sokov had left it locked, but reasserts himself as much as he is able and moves down the hall toward the office::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::brings up the sensor readings from the flight groups ship onto a portion of the main viewscreen:: CO: I have added the sensor data from the flight groups onto the main viewscreen. It may become necessary for quick reference if we enter a tactical situation.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches the EO leave the bridge and turns her attention back to the Counselor::  CNS: Understood.  Keep me posted if you sense anything.  I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::finishes with the stretching, then breaks into a quick flurry of swift, sharp movements into a defensive position::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Smiles and shrugs:: OPS: Just another day of managing crises. With all the attention on emergencies amongst the doctors, the couple hundred refugees feel almost minor in comparison.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Yes... I'm sure we haven't. ::is busy keeping mental notes on the senior staff:: CO: I'm concerned about Dr. Welland, Captain. 
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances up at the main viewscreen and nods::  FCO: Good thinking, Mr. Northcutt.  Have we heard anything from Flight Officer Williams recently with any updates?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Approaches the sickbay office and enters, pulling up...a new chair?::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Using the steroscope, she slowly begins to put the small bits together.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Rocks the chair back and forth a few times, just out of idle interest, but sits a few moments after, leaning forward, his PADD in his lap::  Sokov:  Doctor.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances over at the Counselor slightly.::  CNS: How so?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::in another succession of movements, he delivers several sharp punches and kicks to the air in front of him, his breathing beginning to slow ever so slightly::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Not that I am aware of, Captain... ::trying to ignore the CNS::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::looks at Sren for a long moment, thinking about the ramifications of what was just said.  Then figures he can get an update on current events from the computer later.:: Sren: I understand its been a bit busy around here.  You have my release papers?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*Shipwide*: All Senior Officers:  Please be informed I would like you to start carrying side arms until further notice.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Hearing someone chiming the door, she ignores it, her concentration focused on getting this right.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::blinks a bit at the announcement::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::gets up from the CONN and moves towards the side of the bridge and pulls off a panel revealing phasers::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  CMO:  Doctor.  ::Looks up::  It is good to see you.  ::Upon hearing T'Shara's instructions, opens a drawer on the left hand side of the desk and pulls out a hand phaser, sliding it across the desk to Welland::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Nods, and tilts her head curiously as she hears the announcement:: OPS: Interesting day, really.  ::Hands Fong the PADD:: OPS: Yes, here they are. You're cleared for now. Doctor Sokov would just like you to check back in 72 hours.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::is wondering why the FCO is trying to ignore her even though he is clearly not included in her conversation with the Captain:: CO: Is he normally... unsettled? Before the Cabowee incident I visited him in his office and he seemed very calm and collected. Afterward, he began acting strangely...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Hearing the captain's orders, mumbles::  No problem there...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  EO:  Sir...it's a mess.  We could probably run the warp engines, but in their current state, we'd be risking putting the whole system out of commission for much, much longer.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Motions some crewmen carrying needed supplies onward toward the reactor::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::Slides a type 2 phaser onto his belt and brings a type 2 phaser to the CO:: CO: Here you go sir
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
::nods:: aEO: Well, it'll have to do. Let's do what we can to augment it. I'll go get some stabilizers.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Eyes the phaser almost timidly a moment, then reaches across and takes it, carefully checking the settings, then slipping it onto his waistband::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks up from her research a moment, then glances over to Amica::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: I'm not sure if a sidearm would protect against the Cabowee, Captain... 
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Looks a bit skeptical::  EO:  ...I'll tell everyone to get ready for startup.  ::Walks over to the reactor controls and starts dealing out instructions::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::takes the type 2 phaser from Northcutt and slides it onto her belt, adjusting it a little.::  FCO: Thank you, Ensign.  ::being careful to put it on the side it won't bother her brace::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Feeling eyes on him, lifts his head and smiles to Raeyld::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::nods and goes back to the CONN to continue his work::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Considering that we don't know if when one is caught in their shadow world, they bring with them whatever they are carrying... ::muses::
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
::enters the supply station and picks up some stabilizers and other equipment::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  CMO:  Would it be presumptuous to assume you are returning to duty?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CNS: With an experiment I performed with Doctor Raeyld, we already know phasers can destroy them.  I personally killed three of them myself.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sits back a bit, almost defensive::  Sokov:  ...I'd have figured that would be your call.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::reads over the PADD, than makes a note in his personal journal to stop in at sickbay in 72 hours:: Sren: Aren't they all.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Feeling the need to sneeze she turns around.  The last thing she needed was to lose any of the practically microscopic pieces.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles a little, and gestures small-ly toward the ceiling:: Amica: Should we attend to that directive as well?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::ignoring the shipwide announcement, not that he doesn't have his own weaponry nearby anyway, he eases into a combination of punches and kicks that take him a pace or two closer to the door::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Really? Fascinating... 
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Juggles dealing with questions from the crewmen and attempting to right the warp core's phase differential::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: That knowledge would have come in handy when I was head-to-head against one... ::more to herself than to anyone else::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Still pleasantly, but admittedly rather dumbly::  MO:  Ma'am?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Simply looks to Welland, tilting his head just slightly::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Somewhat uncertainly. although she's not sure why:: Amica: To remain armed.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CNS: Well, we were able to take items with us when we traveled to their world.  We were able to travel to their world at will.  Although, getting back was a little more tenuous, to say the least.  ::Looking down at her arm.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turning back, she begins again, feeling sweat trickle down her back::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Regards Sokov almost ruefully, then...::  Sokov:  I'm returning to duty.  I'll be wearing a monitor...we'll know the second anything happens.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::his breathing slows almost completely, and he focuses on a single spot on the door of the quarters... he delivers a more complex series of spinning kicks and cross-body jabs, ending him up facing precisely where he had been a moment ago::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::now realizes why the CO had a broken arm, and curses the Lexorin causing her to 'miss' things::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*Sickbay*: This is the Captain just checking the status of Doctors Welland and Raeyld.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> OPS: Well, you're free to return to duty, Ensign. Do take care, and let us know if you need anything. I'm sorry none of the doctors were available to release you personally.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  CMO:  Understood, Sir.  ::Taps a few controls on the computer, returning Welland to the active roster and restoring his command protocols::
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
::returns to ME with an almost literal truckload of equipment:: aEO: Let's get to work. All we can do right now is keep her going for as long as possible.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Raises a breath to speak, then thinks better of it and expectantly looks to Welland::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Carefully, she adds the last part, keeping her breath as light as possible.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Somewhat quietly::  *CO*:  Captain, this is Doctor Welland.  I'm returning to duty.  We'll go over Raeyld's readouts and let you know more within the hour.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::stands up slowly:: Sren: No, its ok, I'm sure they are busy, I prefer it this way...just so long as I don't find a team of security personnel tracking me down.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Chuckles:: OPS: Sorry about that, but we are something of a stickler about protocol here.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Watches Welland a moment more, then returns to his report::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> OPS: At least when it comes to the health and safety of our...crew.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Watches Sokov in kind, then stands and moves off back toward the rear of sickbay::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
Sren: So I've learned.  ::stretches his arms and looks around:: Sren: Have a nice day...Hope it quiets down a bit for you.
Host SMDrew says:
@<FO_Natoto> *CAG*: This is Recon 3 reporting in.  We have picked up some transmissions that could be Starfleet, but it's decayed to a point that it may very well be background subspace garbage.  ::Transfers the data to flight operations.::  Transferring the data now, sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  MO:  Sorry, ma'am...I'm afraid you've lost me.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her eyes moving back and forth from the schematics to the object before her.  It appears to look the same.  She followed every step given.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CMO*: Very good Doctor.  Glad to hear you are up and around.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks a little confused, but persists patiently:: Amica: The Captain just announced we should keep weapons on hand, did she not?
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::looks up at the viewscreen as updated data comes in from the flight group:: Self: That's interesting...
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::smiles at Sren, showing pointed teeth, then heads for the door at a brisk trot::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::continues with his routine, completing it with a rolling kick that would almost appear to be chest height on an average human... gets interrupted by the com, and replies:: *Natoto*: Acknowledged. ::moves to the console in his desk to access the flight ops feed::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Takes a deep, worried breath::  EO:  Aye, Sir.  Whatever you need me to do.  ::Steels himself and continues making minute adjustments to the warp field projections::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::hears Northcutt and turns her attention once again to the viewscreen.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Suddenly shakes her head dismissively:: Amica: I have a different concern... Could you possibly secure for me the brainwave scans of a few personnel that have not, to our knowledge, yet been affected by the Cabowee? I'd like to make a comparison.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Reaching for the cover, she replaces it and then sits back with a slight growl.::  You had better work.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::stops outside the sickbay door and leans on the wall, trying to get his breathing back under control, and his heart rate back to normal, than heads for the nearest small arms locker::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*CO*:  Hopefully I'll stay that way, Captain.  If there's anything you need, let me know.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: It would appear the flight group has picked up decayed signal that may have a Federation signature.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  MO:  You're the boss, Ma'am.  ::Stands and goes to the computer terminal to have a look at some charts (none listed by name, for privacy's sake), then transfers them to Raeyld's PADD::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: This information is severely degraded, though. I don't believe I have the technical skill to determine if it's accurate.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::sighs and gets up to go the weapons locker on the Bridge; weapons leave a bad taste in her mouth after so much violence in her past:: 
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks back to her PADDs, the four of them held securely somehow in her two hands, as she scrolls through, squinting through the fading Lexorin haze, to try to make sense of the data::
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
::works on affixing the equipment to the warp core, doing all he can to keep it stable for a while::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CMO*: Aye, Doctor.  I hope we all stay that way for now.  I don't believe so.  You will be the first to know if that changes.  T'Shara out.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::nods once, smirking ever so slightly... he enters a complex sequence of commands in an attempt to clean it up on his end::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::takes a PADD from the tactical officer manning the weapons locker, and signs out a type two phaser pistol, than hands the PADD back to the Tactical officer and receives the phaser.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Acknowledged.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Stands outside Raeyld's room a moment, then simply enters, his hands folded behind his back, holding his PADD::  Amica:  Jeff.  ::Nods once::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  CMO:  Doc.  ::Smiles::  Good to see you up and around.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CAG*: Mr. Williams, I'm sure you got the signal from your recon group.  Have you had a chance to look at it yet and what's your opinion?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances up from the bevy of PADDS as she sees what Amica's doing, and adds quietly:: Amica: Oh...if possible, I'd like some current scans, rather than old ones.  ::Spots Welland as he enters the room::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Continues looking toward Amica, hoping he'll just get the message::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::proceeds to the nearest turbolift:: TL: Bridge.
EO_Ens_Dawkins says:
::carries on with his duty and, yes, he does accept whatever suggestions the aEO might offer::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Stands a moment, smiling...then it slowly fades::  CMO/MO:  Oh, um...I just remembered...I've got...rounds.  ::Exits, somewhat meekly, but adds, under his breath as he passes::  CMO:  Sorry, Sir.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::waits for the results of his filtering attempts to come to fruition:: *CO*: The signals are Starfleet in origin. A lesser-trained eye would mistake them for background white noise.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::slips the phaser into its holster and straps it to her waist:: Self: I dearly hope we won't be using these in the future... 
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Drops her eyes back to her PADDs a moment, then sighs softly at her current impasse, and folds them together into a neat pile, adding the couple others in her lap to the bottom of the pile::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Exits Raeyld's room and waits outside the doors, somewhat concerned, but glad to see Welland about::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: After carefully inspecting it, she activates it.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::straps the phaser to his waist as he waits for the turbolift to reach the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  *CAG*: Noted.  Anything else?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks up quietly to Welland, somewhat uncertainly::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
*CO*: When I know, you'll know.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: With both a look of surprise and a smile, she sits back and listens to the message waiting for her.::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
::Looks up from the matter inducer.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CAG*: Understood.  Get back to me as soon as you can.  We have our hands full as it is.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Looks to Sandenson::  EO:  Would you double-check the intermix ratio?  ::Goes over to run a few firsthand diagnostics on the couplings::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::sits back down in the CNS's chair and flips her hair behind her shoulder somewhat agitated:: 
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Activates the ship's computer and pulls up the current information on the ship's status and location.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Looks to the floor a few moments::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Looks back up::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Simply::  MO:  I'm sorry.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::closes the channel on his end, then just shakes his head:: Self: Such is generally the result when one enters into a potential suicide mission guided by a less than sane crew.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::finally arrives on the bridge and heads for his console::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
::Looks around a bit.::  aEO:  Me sir?  ::Grabbing a tool he was looking for before waiting on an answer.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns at the sound of the turbolift doors opening.::  ::Nods to Fong::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::considers for a moment as the information in whether or not to let the bridge and his flight group in on what he just uncovered... decides against it, instead downloading the coded message and beginning to run through every decryption sequence he can remember::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::Returns the CO's nod than moves to his station, and pats the headrest of his chair affectionately, and sits down::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Ensign, please try to contact Sovereign Dlg of the Deniti Empire.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Somewhat sardonically::  EO:  If you're not too busy, Sandenson.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Let me know when you have made contact.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::brings up his console's display and nods to the Captain again:: CO: Aye sir.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Compiles the data and compresses it.::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
aEO:  Not a problem sir I have on last tweak on this inducer and it should be back in phase.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::raises his head for a moment, then... nods once:: Computer: Computer, access and transmit on this frequency sensory image 3 9 7 Alpha. Authorization Williams 31 Beta 4 9. ::inputs the frequency of the flight group, and sends a slightly modified version of his filtering protocol along with it::

MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Raises a breath, but bites her lip, and considers a moment, lowering her eyes::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
::Ducks back down into the matter reactor and completes the last set of tweaks.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Satisfied -- or, forcing himself to be satisfied -- with the diagnostics, turns back to the master console::  EO:  Good.  As soon as that's done, we'll fire 'er up.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
<Sovereign Dlg>  COM: USS Overton:  This is Sovereign Dlg of the Deniti Empire.  What can we assist you with, USS Overton of the Federation?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  You could've been killed, and it would've been my fault.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Taps her finger on the table for a moment, and then stands, pocketing the unit to head for the shuttle.::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::notices immediately that Fong has entered the bridge as his mind is completely blank to her and it makes her slightly uncomfortable::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::frowns at his console:: CO: I have communications with the Soverign Dlg sir.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head ever-so-slightly, not looking up:: CMO: It was my fault you were there. I acted brashly. I'm sorry.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns and nods::  OPS: On screen, Ensign.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As the lift releases her, she steps into the shuttle bay and heads for the nearest shuttle, simply informing the tech on duty she wanted to check something on the sensor logs.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:

Host EO_Sandenson says:
aEO:  I think we are set sir. ::Pulls himself up out of the reactor.::  It's the best I can do with the limited time and equipment.  She needs a starbase, bad.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::blinks a few times as Fong looked at her and is slightly taken aback; she imagines that he knows that she can't read him, and frowns::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  I'd argue we have no way of knowing...how I was there, at all.  It's done, though.  Let's try not to dwell on it any longer.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
ACTION:  A chubby face and body appears on the main viewscreen.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  EO:  Very bad.  For a couple months.  ::Calls out a few instructions across the bay, then taps his combadge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:

::checks over his console verifying that the power readings are unchanged, and communications are functional.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks up at the viewscreen and slowly gets up from her chair.::  COM: Sovereign Dlg: This is Captain T'Shara of the USS Overton.  I am wondering if you can supply us with some information.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods a bit, glancing up:: CMO: That seems..sensible.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: The burst completed, she disengages::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
<Sovereign Dlg> COM:  USS Overton:  Captain T'Shara of the USS Overton, what information do you seek?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Nods once, professionally::  MO:  Good.  I'll be back a little later on for your checkup.  Sokov's just about finishing a double as it is.  Is there anything you need?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Pulling up the sensor logs from her last trip out, she downloads it onto the unit.  Then shutting things down, she heads out.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Sovereign Dlg: I am looking for any information you might have on a species who call themselves the Cabowee.  And if you have had any dealings with them.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::gets an alert on his own console while he waits for the signal to be decrypted... entering another sequence of commands, he attempts to trace the source::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Taking the lift to astrometrics, she exits it and turns left.  Opening the outer room, she waits for her eyes to adjust before activating the inner door and entering.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Having cleared the previous data and entered the sensor logs, she ties it into the computer and pulls up the star chart they have so far of the area, with all the M class planets highlighted.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  *FCO*:  We're ready to give warp drive a try...but I can't promise a smooth ride.  Or that she'll last long enough to be put back together proper.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::mutters a curse under his breath then marks the time and begins checking the ship's equipment for outbound data links.::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
*aEO*: Very well engineering
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Performs a brief inventory of herself, then finally looks up:: CMO: Up-to-date scans of some un-Cabowee-affected brainwaves.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
<Sovereign Dlg>: COM:  USS Overton:  Captain T'Shara of the USS Overton, we do know of the Cabowee, but they have been inactive in this area for over 100 years.  They are an unwelcome, hateful race.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head:: ::Partly to Welland, but mostly to herself:: CMO: ...there has to be a way to get out.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  We just took some 'graphs from the Ferengi, but with the difference in brain construction...  ::Looks to her a moment, then back to the PADD, which he has uploaded with recent case history::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Pulls up the captain's orders, rereading them before taking a seat at the console.::  The nearest M class planet versus the most useful one to us... Hmmm...
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Engineering reports warp drive is available, but they are uncertain how well this ship will handle it.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods, immediately understandingly::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::while the search for active links runs he tries to capture a copy of what data can from the unauthorized data burst.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Sovereign Dlg: Well I think you had better check your data again because they aren't so inactive anymore.  We have had at least 2 dealings with them thus far.  And hateful is putting it mildly.  ::feels a twinge of pain in her arm under the brace, and rubs it slightly with her other hand, without changing her glance.::'
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Glances to Raeyld a moment, passing by her latter comment a moment::  MO:  Couple of survivors still under observation, in good condition, one of the nurses just got theirs on the rounds...these should do.  I'll send them over.  ::Taps a few buttons and transfers them to her PADD::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sends a text message to the FCO that the nearest M class planet is still their best option.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::quietly::  FCO: Noted.  Begin making preparations with engineering to test the warp drive.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
<Sovereign Dlg>: COM:  USS Overton:  Captain T'Shara of the USS Overton, we have no way of detecting the Cabowee until they attack.  If you say you have made contact, then your ship is a technological marvel.  The last encounter with the Cabowee took thirteen factions working together to push them out of the sector.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::while both the trace and the decryption are in progress, he glances about his quarters, then gets up... moving to a cabinet, he opens it, pulling out a modified hand phaser and securing it on his person::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
*aEO*: The captain has requested we test the warp drive as soon as possible
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods in distracted confirmation, as she watches the data upload to her PADD:: CMO: Thanks. I understand it would be a bit of an inconvenience, but if I could eventually get updated copies of ours...you, the Captain, the Counselor, and myself, that would be helpful as well.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shrugs somewhat sheepishly:: CMO: ...If I have to simply sit here, I need something to stay distracted.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  *FCO*:  It's as ready as it's gonna be, whenever you are.  ::Looks up to check whether everyone is in place::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::watches the copy of the data packet download, than furrows his brow in confusion.:: Self: What the hell....  ::copies the data from main memory to a removable drive, and sets the main computer to trying to crack it.::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
::Takes his place at the engineering table and runs a few more tests on backup systems.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sends the FCO an updated course along with time::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: I have inputted the new course to the nearby M-class planet. Engineering reports we are ready to test the drive.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  Aloud:  All right...any reading at all that's a thousandth off where it oughtta be, I need to know about it.  Prepare for emergency shutdown procedures, just in case.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  I'll see to it.  I'm wearing a monitor, so...you can get my readings whenever you like.  ::Rechecks his PADD briefly::  Is that all?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Sovereign Dlg: Not the information I was hoping for.  I'm not sure we are the marvel for which you speak.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Tilts her head:: CMO: Is there...  ::Trails off and shakes her head, dropping her question for the time being::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CMO: ...Any estimate on time until my release?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Waits a moment::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Going a different tact::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Shuts down astrometrics and feeling a bit braver, decides to see if she can help at all with sensors.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::sweeps the communications logs for other unauthorized data bursts::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Acknowledged, Ensign.  Begin running your test.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  None yet.  ::Shakes his head::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Hides her sigh, mostly::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
<Sovereign Dlg>: COM:  USS Overton:  Captain T'Shara of the USS Overton Understood Captain.  I don't know what information you where hoping for, but I will in the area if you need further assistance.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CMO: Understood.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  ...Is that all?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::idly, he lifts up a hand to scratch at the back of his head:: Self: By the bones of every mythological creature in my history, if I survive this mission... ::pauses, and tilts his head a degree to one side:: I will have this crew court-martialed.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::glances at the CO his hand over the button to close the communication channel.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*Shipwide*: All Hands: We will be testing the warp drive momentarily.  Please standby for a possible rough ride as we test it out.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::signals the flight deck to ready emergency evacuation procedures::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: under her breath::  Finally... :: Steps onto the lift and orders it to engineering.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CMO: ... ::Hesitates a moment, then tries..:: ...does this medical staff...trust me?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Sovereign Dlg: Thank you for your time.  I will keep you informed if we have further dealings with the Cabowee.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Motions for Mr. Fong to close the channel::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Without hesitation::  MO:  I do.  Why wouldn't we?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::closes the comm channel::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
<Sovereign Dlg>: COM:  USS Overton:  Captain T'Shara of the USS Overton, of course, Captain.  ::Turns off the comm.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Take us to warp factor 1.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks over to her chair and takes a seat.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As the lift stops she heads into engineering and over to the sensor console.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  Aloud:  Preparing to accelerate to warp one.  Everyone, to your stations.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
::Continues watching the backup systems to ensure shutdown is ready if needed.::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp factor 1... engaging... ::presses a button on the CONN::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::places his hands on the desk in front of him, and slows his breathing, closing his eyes while he readjusts his mental shields as best he can.... slowly, carefully, begins to shut down his perception of his environment::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CO: Ma'am, during your conversation with the Soverign Dlg, I detected an unauthorized outbound data packet. I'm still trying to figure it out, but it isn't like anything I've seen before.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Looks over his shoulder to see Senn::  CSO:  Ma'am, might want to find something to hang onto.  Not sure how this is gonna go.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes a bit of a breath, treading carefully:: CMO: Well...in fairness, the command staff doesn't seem to. I've been informed I'd be under..."surveillance," for some time now. Between surveillance from them, and duty restrictions here, and duty restrictions from them....
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Trails off a bit, involuntarily glancing toward the door a brief second, before looking back to her PADDs::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::stands by to boost power to the inertial dampeners, and structural integrity field:: Chair: Here we go.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
ACTION:  With a brief rumble the warp nacelles flash and the Overton jumps to warp 1.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Out of the way, she quietly goes over the sensors and what has been done so far.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CMO: ....I just want to know if I still stand in a position to be effective for this crew... ::speaking of the entire ship:: ...and this staff. ::Medically implied::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::turns to look at OPS::  OPS: Acknowledged.  Keep working on it.  Let me know the minute you find out the source or anything else.  ::raising an eyebrow::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Pauses a moment, thinking back to whatever the dustup was with the command staff -- he still doesn't know what happened::  MO:  Doctor, it's not really my concern what the command staff thinks.  You're on this staff, and we need you to get well so you can return to duty.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*aEO*: How do things look in engineering? Are we safe to proceed slowly to warp 6?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods quietly:: CMO: I'd very much like that.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  So would I, and everyone else.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Can't help but think there are probably at least a few people who would probably rather she die of complications...but tries to push that out of her mind for the time being:: CMO: I'll...do my best, then.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::after a moment, gets to his feet and checks on the status of his various tasks; the decryption, the tracing, and the general monitoring of shipboard operation::
Host EO_Sandenson says:
aEO:  Things are looking good on my end sir.  We should be safe to proceed to higher warp velocities.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<aEO_Converse>  ::Nods to Sandenson::  *CO*:  Won't know till we try, Captain.  She's holding up so far.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
::Modifies some of the power junctions to lower the surges.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*aEO*: Understood.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Let's see what she can do.  Take us up slowly and find out what our max warp is.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::writes a very simple program to alert him of any outbound communications, authorized or otherwise.::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::increases speed slowly::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  Okay...if there's nothing else, I have to see to some other matters.  Let me know if anything comes up.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CMO: I will. Thank you.
Host EO_Sandenson says:
ACTION:  The Overton's expert flight control officer brings the warp velocity up slowly.  With a few shakes and bumps along the way the Overton maxes out at warp 6.6 and holds.....  For now....
Host EO_Sandenson says:
