Host SM_James says:
Summary: Claymore is preparing to enter slipstream, with Twilight's assistance. Meanwhile, last-minute work continues to shore Claymore’s systems up after their previous encounter. Is it enough? Maybe. Hopefully.

Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::In the ready room, working on a brief rundown of everything he's learned in the past hour, trying to make sense of everything::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::standing in engineering, looking at the status lights on the power grid::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@::Strides onto the bridge and settles directly into her chair:: Twilight: Status report.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Fidgeting on the biobed ready to be done::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
HLM2: Thank you, Mr. Ra.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Exits the TL onto the bridge and moves slowly to his station, clearly deep in thought.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::on the bridge preparing for the slipstream operation, linking Claymore’s sensors to the Twilight, and has reference notes on her console from the USS Voyager logs regarding slipstream, which required command clearance to open::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> FCO: Will that be all? 
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::steps into the surgery room with Simmons:: MO: How's the leg feeling?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
HLM2: No, please get some deserved rest while you can, if you can.  You may be needed shortly.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> FCO: Aye, aye.
Host SM_James says:
<Twilight> @::appears seated in what would be the XO's chair next to her:: TCO: The situation remains unchanged, Captain. We've gained ground, but they still pursue.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: A bit stiff, but otherwise not too bad.  ::Stretches it out and then bends it at the knee and stretches it once again.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Arriving at medical, she slipped through the doors and looked around for Simmons.::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> :: walks forward to the turbo lift and exits the bridge ::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: In his biobed, Andrews begins to slowly stir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::returns to the bridge from the head::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@::Would groan slightly, if she hadn't entirely expected that:: Twilight: Figures. Time until we can jump to slipstream?
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: Well, the good news is that you should be able to use it now. You may have a slight limp for a few days, but it shouldn't last long.
Host SM_James says:
@<Twilight> TCO: Two minutes, Captain. Entry trajectory calculated, coordinates locked.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::sits at his chair, sliding the console towards himself and sighing::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@Twilight: Open channel with Claymore.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: I appreciate it.  Does that mean that I can go soon?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Picks up his PADD and heads out to the bridge, expecting Twilight will be back in touch soon::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Not seeing Simmons, she frowns, wondering if she should be concerned.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<MT4_C1_S’kaln> TO: Can I help you?
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: You can go now, if you'd like. If you need more time though, you're welcome to stay for a bit. I know that today has been...hard for you.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Settles into a seat on her couch::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::on the bridge at the ops station::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::sitting at a console right off the warp core, reviewing all the data she could put together on the energy signatures they had previously detected::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: checks on current link status ::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: I'd like to get cleaned up, get the blood out of my hair, change into something not ripped.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: turns her head slightly::  MT4:  Yes, please.  I was wondering where Doctor Simmons is at?
Host SM_James says:
<Twilight> @TCO: Aye, Captain.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@*TFCO*: Lieutenant Salna, going to need you on the bridge for slipstream ASAP.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::finishes up with the power systems:: EO2: Did you have those chroniton signatures?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@COM: Claymore: Twilight to Claymore.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<MT4_C1_S’kaln> TO: She's back in surgery one.  Just recuperating, so it should be okay for you to see her.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::Receives the message:: CO/Aloud: Incoming hail from the Twilight.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::sees Damrok and sort of snaps out of his daze or whatever it is he found himself in for a moment::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
CO:  Still slaved to the Twilight.  They could bring us in, unless you want to me go manual or auto.

TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: looks around having never been in sickbay, yet.::  MT4:  Where is that?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
FCO:  One moment.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
CO: Standing by.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OS1:  Put them through.  ::Nods to Litoll::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<MT4_C1_S’kaln> TO: Back that hallway, second door on the left.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Nods her thanks before following instructions.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::feeds the hail from the Twilight to the bridge communications array::
Host SM_James says:
<Salna> @::strides onto the bridge, nods once, moves to occupy the helm console, which automatically powers up as he draws closer::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish> OPS: I've pulled down internal sensors, a series of PTS diagnostic data – whatever we've got from that energy signature.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes up a position at the center of the command area, looking to the viewer, but realizes a holograph might pop in anyway, so he's suddenly uncertain where he's supposed to be looking::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: A hologram indeed does appear. As before, Krys appears in the counsellor's chair.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: Of course. Take your time. I've got sickbay under control for now. Not sure how much longer it'll stay that way, but you're good for now.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::receives a request from Warrant Officer Lise Mayer to be granted permission to examine one of the Kethran that was stopped during the assault an hour earlier::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::moves over to Sarish and nods slightly, leaning to the left on his 'cane'.:: EO2: Do we have any theories or ideas?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Sitting on the Claymore’s bridge:: CO: Captain. With your permission, we'll bring Claymore in. We're ready to go active slip stream within the next minute.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: Thank you.  I do appreciate it.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Not quite sure what to do, she knocks on the door.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Turns to the third chair::  TCO:  Captain, you have my permission.  FCO:  Uhlan, let's remain slaved to Twilight and let them handle this.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Looks up from her spot on the bed:: TO: Enter.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::eyes the hologram for a moment, sort of distracted from doing anything else at his console, at least for the time being::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::laying in a biobed hopefully in sickbay::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  But if they scratch the paint on the Claymore someone's getting hurt... and it's not me.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::shakes her head, a frown pretty well stamped on her face::  OPS: Not as of yet, sir.
Host SM_James says:
<Andrews> ::begins to shift slightly where he's lying, and slowly starts to sit up::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Grins at the FCO's comment::  FCO:  Like that's never happened before.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Gives Krys' holograph a knowing look::  FCO:  I...trust they'll take it easy.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::checks the connection strength to the Twilight and nods to himself, making sure they have enough bandwidth for controls::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Opens the door and pokes her head inside.::  MO:  You probably do not remember, me.  I am Rain Tsela-Yokaze.  We crossed a very few times at the academy.  Jeyina is my best friend... one of your students.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens nods and leaves the surgery room::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: nods a greeting at the CMO passes her by.::
Host SM_James says:
<Twilight> @TCO: Slipstream point in thirty seconds, Captain.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::turns to see the hologram of Krys again, starting to take a liking to future uniform and wants to know all the advancements Starfleet has made in the last eight hundred years...so much to catch up on::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Looks up at the TO as she enters.:: TO: Your face looks slightly familiar, but yes, Jeyina, I know.  ::Offers her hand:: It's nice to meet you.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods to himself as he begins to suspect whatever it was that Stevens gave him is wearing off:: EO2: You said it was chroniton based?  Maybe they were bleeding power to a different point in space-time?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Nods slightly:: CO/FCO: Of course.  @Twilight/TFCO: Bring her in.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Steps in and takes the offered hand.::  MO:  I was there when Goliath decided to swing you.  I hope it was not because I was trying to get him to put you down.  I just wanted to see if you were all right.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Overhearing as he rounds the corner::  OPS:  That's an interesting theory, Sir.  ::Stops and taps at a wall console, referencing a PADD as he does so::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::shrugs slightly and pulls up a seat, and looks over the data again::
Host SM_James says:
<Twilight> @::her physical form nods, which seems almost pointless, and the ship immediately adjusts its course to line itself up to receive Claymore::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
TO:  I'm going to be just fine but thank you for checking on me.  And I want you to hear me when I say, whatever happened, is not your fault, alright?  ::Gives her that 'professorial' look:: You don't need to carry that on your conscience.
Host SM_James says:
<Salna> ::begins the process of spinning up the slipstream core::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Glances to Fong a moment, looking him up and down, eyes locking on his leg for a fraction of a second, then resumes working almost immediately::  OPS:  Not my place, Sir, but you should probably have that looked at.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish> ::swipes through several screens quickly, the thought crossing her mind that maybe she's not the right person to be doing this sort of analysis::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::glances over at the helmsman then back to his console::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: Helm goes read-only as Twilight assumes navigational control.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
ALL: Twilight now has full control.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@Twilight/Claymore: Preparing for slipstream.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: smiles slightly::  MO:  Thank you.  While I was concerned your being crunched was the end result, there was no knowing what would happen.  Oh... and just so you know, Uhlan T’alin and I sort of captured your friend for you.  ::frowns::  I have no idea if he... she... it?  Is alive.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Steps out of the surgery room and into sickbay to check on the other doctors::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looks down at his leg that has moved from the tightness it had before, to a dull throb.:: EO2: I did; Stevens said it wouldn't kill me. I have an appointment for after all this is done...so middle of next week.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes a deep breath, some natural unease creeping in at the prospect of the ship being out of their hands, for now::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
TO: Did you?  ::A small smile spread across her face::  Thank you.  That should be interesting to look at as soon as I'm able.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::responds to her science team that study of the bodies will need to be on hold until medical grants clearance, she also reaches out to her sensor officers to monitor slipstream telemetry from data recorded from the main deflector array::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: Sensors register what looks to Claymore like a subspace disturbance. A portal, or rift, appears directly in front of Twilight. Claymore is guided to Twilight's opening docking bay as both ships near the entry.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> *Engineering*: Just...um thought you might want to know, that the ship is being taken under tow into slipstream shortly...well, now.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::doesn't even hear the brief exchange between Southland and Fong::  OPS/EM1: The computer seems pretty certain that the signature was temporal in nature, but what that signature was trying to do – err, rather the people who used it – 
isn't immediately clear.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
MO:  We thought you might appreciate the gesture.  I do not want to keep you from your rest.  Not to mention, Lieutenant Hawk might be looking for me... maybe.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish> *OS1*: Acknowledged.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Allows a very brief...something akin to a chuckle?::  OPS:  Roger that, Sir.  ::Continues typing away at the panel::
Host SM_James says:
@ACTION: Twilight's avatar disappears from next to Krys...
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: ...And appears standing next to her in hologram form.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
TO: I absolutely do.  I don't want to keep you.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Nods:: Twilight: Ready?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::runs his hand over the data on the screen, a momentary memory of the ship, faded grey and nearly empty.:: Self: Dropping plasma out of phase...that would do it.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Turns to leave, she pauses at the door and looks back::  MO:  It really is good to see you in one piece.... ::with that said, she slipped out the door.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Slides her legs over the side of her biobed.  Her uniform still mangled and blood still clinging to her hair and uniform top.:: Self: Twice in one day.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stands up and circles around his seat towards Tactical, but not right at the station, more trying to just get up and move around a little rather than hover::
Host SM_James says:
<Twilight> TCO: A moment. ::tilts her head to one side briefly, and Claymore shudders slightly as final contact is established:: Systems secured. Entry trajectory confirmed and validated. Slipstream ready.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Holds onto the side of the biobed to test her leg's strength.::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Nods:: CO: Ready?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::It hurts, but it seems like it will hold.  She starts limping toward the door.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Raises an eyebrow slightly, withholding all of the questions::  TCO:  As ready as we'll be, Captain.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: nodding to the CMO and anyone else in general, she heads out of sickbay and toward the nearest lift.::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Nods:: @Twilight/FCO: Do it.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Making her way into main sickbay, looks around and sees Andrews sitting up.:: Andrews:  Hey, slow there.  ::Limps over.:: Andrews: I know I'm a sight but let me check on you before I head out.
Host SM_James says:
<Andrews> ::slowly, almost painfully, starts to get himself up to a more standing position::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Andrews: Just a moment.  ::Calls out:: A little help here.

Host SM_James says:
<Andrews> ::... but is stopped by Simmons's interruption:: MO: I... I think I'll survive, doctor. I've been through much worse.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Andrews: Maybe, but you're not cleared to go, so slide back up there and let me check you out first.
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: The docking bay closes behind Claymore, and after another few seconds, both ships are shaken just slightly as slipstream entry is achieved.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::gestures to the readout::  OPS/EM1: There's several readouts from the power transfer systems that almost make it seem like there are massive, fluctuating changes in the vicinity – almost like there something is being changed or manipulated at the molecular level. 
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::sees on the viewscreen the colossal docking area inside the Twilight:: Self: Mobile starbases are the future...got it.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Holds onto the biobed as the ship shakes briefly – still slightly unsteady on her feet.::
Host SM_James says:
<Andrews> ::nods once, and the petty officer gets back on the biobed:: MO: Sorry. It's just I'm a little behind on things, you know? Was on my way to engineering when it happened and well....
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CSO: This isn't the starbase  ̶  that's where we're headed.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
ALL: Docking Complete, we are suspended by internal tractors 
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<DN2_LtJG_van Kampen>  ::Walks in from the other side of sickbay::  MO/Andrews:  Hey, I don't think either of you are supposed to be up yet.  ::Drops his kit on a nearby empty biobed and walks over to help steady them both::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::blinks a few times as she starts to wake up::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CSO: We gave up stationary facilities over seven hundred years ago. Planets are too easy for the Kethran to attack.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Andrews:  I understand.  But let's make sure you're fit for duty first.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
FCO:  Acknowledged.  ::Gives Davis a "well, here we go again" look::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CSO: We've survived this long by learning to run really well.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods:: ENG/EM1: If they were adjusting the molecular phase variance of the plasma itself that would result in the power flow issues.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::returns that glance or look as he circles back towards his station::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<DN2_LtJG_van Kampen>  ::Gets the biobed set up again::  MO:  Are you cleared to be on the floor, already?  ::Gives her a skeptical look::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
*CO*: Sir, I thought you'd like to know that Andrews is conscious.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Glances to Damrok as she overhears the report on Andrews::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: As the door slides open, she steps onto the bridge.  A quick glance shows her Benson is not still on the bridge.  She walked over to the auxiliary station, automatically check shield status.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
*MO*:  Understood.  Thank you for letting me know, Doctor.  ::Avoids looking at Krys for the time being, looking instead to Davis::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::looks down at her uniform that is torn in several places, where neatly repaired skin can be seen below the blood-crusted fabric.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TCO: That's...very sad to hear. So the Federation has been reduced to a large wandering flotilla?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
DN2:  I was never actually removed from duty.  ::Gives him a slight smile.::
Host SM_James says:
<Twilight> ::nods as Krys explains, and her programming seems to take it as a queue:: CSO: I am a Royal Heritage class battle cruiser. Normal crew complement, 15,000. Reduced out of necessity, per war protocol.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Turns as the TO goes by::  TO:  Rain, you have a moment?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<DN2_LtJG_van Kampen>  MO:  Right.  Loopholes.  ::Gives her a knowing nod::  Good to know some things never change, around here.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens steps over to Simmons and van Kampen:: DN2: She is cleared to be back up, I just cleared her.  Andrews: You, on the other hand, are not cleared.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
::stops before him::  CTO:  Of course.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::types out a message to the one 'civilian' on the ship, and taps to send it::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
TO:  The captain would like a tactical analysis of the aliens you dealt with on the flight deck.  Since you were there, I'd like your input for the analysis.  Strengths, potential weaknesses, weapons recommendations, etc..  Any issue with that?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods and heads for the turbolift without further ado:: 
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO:  No, Sir.  You want that info now?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<DN2_LtJG_van Kampen>  CMO:  Ah, got it, Sir.  ::Finishes his work at the biobed console and makes way, continuing on his rounds::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Picks up a PADD...and briefly considers trying to hack into the system to check on...things...but reconsiders;:
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::enters turbolift:: Turbolift: Sickbay.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Takes the CMO to the side by the elbow...looking over her shoulder back at Andrews and then back to the CMO.  Speaking under her breath.:: CMO: We aren't supposed to mention to anyone outside the CO and XO what I found on the scan.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
TO:  In a report, please.  I'd like to append any comments I have to it and forward it to the captain.  ::smiles slightly::  By the way, I think you can eliminate throwing medical officers at them.  That seemed fairly ineffective.
Host SM_James says:
<Andrews> ::only offers a nod, and resigns himself to the fact this will be his residence for a while::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens nods:: MO: Of course
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  OPS/EM1: So, temporal in nature, perhaps molecular changes, and causing power flow problems.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Heads back over and checks out the scans on Andrews.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Looks at him wryly::  CTO:  Got that.  I just checked on Doctor Simmons and she is doing fine.  I would say, given our phasers did not have much effect in harming them, they do not like to be harmed at all.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TCO/Twilight: Sad...and also incredible. My sensors show we're travelling through a semi-deep layer of subspace. This is far beyond what was developed in the late 24th century. CO: Captain, this technology is incredible. There's a Temporal Prime Directive, but think of what we could do in the past with this knowledge. The lives we could save!
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::nods to herself, “OK, good torso check.”  She then looked over her left arm as memories of what happened came back.  She'd been hitting them with a club or something...she looked at her right arm. Oh right. That was what she'd been hitting them with.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::As she hears a beep emitted from her PADD, she checks it and reads a brief message...then frowns::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Frowns::  TO:  I tend to agree.  However, they seemed as vulnerable to kinetic damage as anyone else.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Makes his way over to his chair and sits, finally realizing that his typical posture for watching the viewscreen during communications isn't really required in this case::  CSO:  I understand the excitement, Ensign, but we do have those considerations in place for a reason.  ...Don't get too attached.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Andrews: I'd like you to rest a while and since you've been unconscious for a couple of hours, I think we should keep you for observation.  ::Setting a hand on his shoulder and looking him in the eye to make sure that he is tracking with her.::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Just shakes her head very slightly:: CSO: The lives you'll save by stopping the Kethran will be more than enough, I assure you.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::exits the turbolift and makes his way toward sickbay, still not wanting to have this conversation, but knowing it absolutely must be done given the givens::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods to himself then rubs his face:: EM1/EO2: So, some form of temporal phasing technology that we've never seen before.  OK.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: nods in agreement::  CTO: Uhlan T’alin helped me to hamstring the one that harmed the doctor.  He/she/it did not get away.  We sort of gave the creature to the doctor.  I do not know if he/she/it was still alive when we left it.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Almost casually, hoping to change the subject as he gives a small head-tilt toward the other hologram::  TCO:  So...that's a holographic manifestation of your vessel, I take it?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Nods:: CO: Correct.
Host SM_James says:
<Twilight> TCO: Incoming from Omega, captain. Kethran have redeployed in response to possible new data. ::a small, awkward pause, made slightly more awkward by the fact she doesn't appear to know what to do with herself during such a pause:: We are likely carrying that data at present.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Nods::  TO:  You might reach out to the good doctor and request she look for any potential vulnerabilities during her autopsy and/or testing.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::nods to the TCO, determined to help stopping the Kethran no matter what::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::in a very sedate, dissociated way she looks at the stump halfway down her right bicep with the medical cup on it.  She tries to flex her fingers that she can see are not there. She can feel pressure building up in her chest::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::enters sickbay::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: nods::  CTO:  I will send her a note on that.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Turns to listen to Twilight, then looks back to Krys::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: gets up and stretches :: 
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: AI has made...significant strides. Twilight is...essentially a member of the crew. ::Turns to Twilight as she speaks, taking a breath:: CO: That would be you.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TCO:  So I gathered.  ::Looks down a moment::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::looks up as someone enters sickbay and screams::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Turns from Andrews to come face to face with the XO.:: XO: Sir, can I help you?
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Nods again::  TO:  Thanks, Rain.  I look forward to your conclusions.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Stands from her seat and makes her way out of the door:: Perry: I'm paying a visit to – ::Pauses:: Computer: What is the current location of Lieutenant Fong?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods to Simmons::  MO: Glad to see you're up and about, Ensign.  ::more quietly::  I'm here to talk to Andrews when there's a chance to do it.
Host Andrews says:
::easily meets Simmons’ eye until she turns from him, takes advantage to reposition himself slightly::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: going to the auxiliary station, she reads through the diagnostic report.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TCO/CO: We're the new wildcard, the X in their equations. We have the element of surprise.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Looks over her shoulder and speaks quietly and then looks back at the XO:: XO: Would you like me to move him to private room?

CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
<SEC4_Ens_Perry>  ::Nods in a resigned sort of way::  CIV:  Yes, Ma'am.  Maybe this time you won't hide from me?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::continues staring at the screen::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
Perry: Would never think of it.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Computer> CIV: Lieutenant, Junior Grade Fong is currently in main engineering.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
<SEC4_Ens_Perry>  ::Rolls his eyes::  CIV:  Of course not, Ma'am.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sighs:: Perry: Never mind...I don't have access to engineering. Thank you, Ensign.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
OS1: Hey brother, you got this :: winks and walks towards the latrine ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  MO: I'd prefer it, yes.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: seeing that all systems were fine, she takes a moment to send Dr. Simmons that note: MO: Lieutenant Hawk asks that during your autopsy... or if He/She/It is still alive, testing, that you note any potential vulnerabilities we can use.::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
<SEC4_Ens_Perry>  ::sighs in relief::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::hasn't been doing anything up to this point, but absolutely DOES NOT have this:: FCO: Uh...
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
XO: Of course.  ::Heads back over to Andrews.:: Andrews: We're going to move you somewhere a little more private for you to rest more easily.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods::  CSO/TCO:  Agreed, Ensign.  I hope we can do our part to assist.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::finally runs out of lung capacity and gasps. She continues staring at the place where her right arm should be::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO/CSO: Well, while they may have detected your arrival sooner than we did, it appears they may not have actually known it was going to happen.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: enters the Claymore’s bridge latrine, it carries notes of Odalisque lemon, and a hint of jasmine ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  EM1/OPS: If we were losing power at the time the signature was here, where was it going, exactly?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Returns into her quarters and moves to the nearest comm panel:: *OPS*: R-Raeyld to Fong.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::fascinated by this A.I. construct speaking, but doesn't find it nearly as interesting as an actual android...although she is concerned about how much autonomy it has, and if there are safeguards in place to prevent "rampancy" and other possible malfunctions::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: Slipstream continues to be largely uneventful. Helm display shifts to show an ETA to their exit point. Presently 33 minutes and 24 seconds.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: picks the middle... because... it's the best, so pristine... so clean.... ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::gives a slight smile at the engineers and turns away:: *CIV*: Fong here.
Host Andrews says:
::nods once to the MO and offers her a smile:: Simmons: I expected. ::sidelongs a look at the newly arrived XO::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  EO2:  Well, that's the thing.  It's got to be going somewhere, right?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: afterwards zips up and sanitizes hands ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::takes a step towards Simmons, and Andrews::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Andrews:  This way.  ::Leads him back to surgery two::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish> ::nods::  EM1/OPS: Is the question where does it end... ::pauses:: ...or when?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: walks back out to the bridge and back to helm :: OS1: Good work, Ensign.
Host Andrews says:
::gets up, following easily, and idly stuffs a hand into a pocket::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
ALL: ETA to waypoint about thirty-three minutes.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Leads him back and opens the door stepping inside with him::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::may have shifted the FCO's console into UV display mode along with his own. Again.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Stands a bit straighter, stopping his work for a moment, the statement striking him as a bit profound; is more accustomed to using hyperspanners on things, pressing buttons, or bailing Secord out to give much thought to this kind of stuff::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  EO2:  All right, I follow.  But if that's the case, how do we figure it out?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes a quick breath:: *OPS*: I just...wanted to see if you made it out of sickbay all right.
Host Andrews says:
::moves to occupy that biobed instead, figuring one's about as good as the other::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: One thing about being in the slipstream, the semi-deep layer of subspace, was the ship was safe.  With little to do, she began to put together the requested report.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::follows, noticing Andrews' hand, though not thinking that much of it::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Waits by the door for the XO to enter.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TCO/Twilight: I'm curious, what allies does the Federation in this time period have? What became of the other galactic powers? Did Kethran overrun them, too?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::hesitates at the message, considering the answer:: *CIV*: I made it out of sickbay.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::enters the room::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks from one holograph to the other, assuming one directive or another will be invoked to block Hy'Qiin's question::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
XO: Do you need anything else, Sir?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
MO: I'll check back with you on the way out, but not right now.  ::pauses::  Thank you.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
XO: Yes, Sir.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CSO: Essentially, yes, eventually. The Ferengi were the last holdouts; Ferenginar was our last real planetary headquarters. Eventually the Klingons, Romulans, and Ferengi joined us at various levels of officiality. Cardassia fell before they really had a chance to join.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
XO: You're welcome.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Steps out of the room leaving the XO and Andrews together.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::turns to the CO with a frown, feeling very awful for him and his people to hear that about Cardassia::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
*OPS*: I'm...glad to hear you're well enough to have been released. You...were released, right?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks down, pensive::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish> EM1: I'm...not sure.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
CO: Sir, since we are half hour out I'd like to take leave and check on Lawrence in sickbay be back in fifteen?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Walks back into main sickbay wondering if he can sneak away to get herself cleaned up.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  EO2:  ...Me neither, Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods to T'alin::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: half-listening to what the captain of Twilight was saying in answer to the CSO::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: heads for the lift:: Computer: Deck four. 
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Sighs:: CSO/CO: But I highly doubt this is the Federation or Starfleet with which you're familiar.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens steps over to Cawney to help her: OPS3: Dear Lord, what happened? ::Stevens calls a nurse over to help her as she moves Cawney towards a biobed::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::considers for a moment:: *CIV*: I have an appointment to return later.
