Host SM_James says:
Summary: It's 23:30 hours. All has been quiet on the western front. And the eastern one, for that matter. The crew has had time to recharge, and what repairs that can be made to the ship are being. It's no secret the enemy has the advantage. And yet, it's quiet. This can't end well.

Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::In the ready room, leaned back in his chair, just turning a PADD over in one hand while staring wearily into the middle distance, toward the door::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::at the bridge operations station still::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Resting on the couch in her quarters::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Heads back to the TL, PADD tucked under her right arm :: TL: Deck two
Host SM_James says:
Info: Sensors are all clear. Except the occasional ping from the mines, which Claymore knows are there, right? Did beta shift get that memo?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@::Aboard Twilight, pacing the deck in her quarters::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
::banging, vivid colors, sharp pain ::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Exits the TL on deck two and makes her way to T'alin's quarters.::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> OPS2: So I've been listening to this new group... Denobulan metal... improv type...
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::As she arrives outside his quarters, she checks her PADD to see that he is indeed still asleep:: Computer: Medical override entrance to crew quarters.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::on the bridge, scrolling through a list of repairs, his eyes not working so well at this point on account of fatigue::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::steps onto the bridge, and glances around he nods to the duty ops station without really seeing who was there.  He pulled a tricorder out of the black bag on his shoulder.  He is still limping slightly, but he heads quietly towards the captain's ready room.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::in Stellar Cartography on deck fourteen, poring over all the collected data, her eyes going back and forth between the location of the temporal anomaly and Claymore’s position in the nebula::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::The door to T'alin's quarters opens and she enters quietly.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes a breath and stands to her feet, slowly, setting the PADD on the small table beside the couch::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::looks over at the helm station.:: HLM: I used to listen to that.  They were pretty atonal.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Stands, turns, and goes to the window, having turned the holographic wall off in the name of dampening emissions::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: winces ::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Looking over the info on her PADD.  It's showing obvious pain reactions.::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Steps back into sickbay and walks over to Cawney with a PADD in hand:: OPS3:  Good news. We're good to go for the Twilight.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::notices Secord's name on one of the reports; he's relieved Secord is okay, but wonders how big a part his incompetence will play in their eventual demise::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::presses the chime for the captain's ready room, his tricorder in hand already accessing the door trigger to bypass the fanfare.::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> OPS2: Yeah, that genre is like that. Very hard technically to do, especially on the fly.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Thinks maybe it's time to wake him up.   And heads over to the side of his bed.  Starts rather quietly.:: FCO: T'alin.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Aloud:  Come in.  ::Folds his hands behind his back and turns to face the door::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reaches behind the flower arrangement provided by the operations department and draws out the small combadge from there and attaches it to the shoulder of her fresh, if ill-fitting, uniform. Makes a note to see a tailor if she ends up keeping a uniform for any length of time::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks up, seeing Fong at the Ready Room hatch::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::looks up from her PADD:: CMO: Fantastic. When is that expected to happen?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::A little louder:: FCO: T'alin.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS3: As soon as you're cleared for transport, we comm them and off you go. So, unless you have questions for me, now.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
Self: Where did the Kethran come from? How did they develop such advanced temporal technology? Self-created? Unsanctioned breach of the Temporal Prime Directive by an outside power helping them? Was the anomaly the catalyst? Pre-destination paradox? Need more data. Nothing adds up...
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::nods slightly:: HLM: I've been listening to a band that plays geological crystal growths by adjusting the air pressure and wind speed.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> ::pushes away from his console in main engineering, feeling a bit stiff and very much groggy; he still feels like he hasn't fully recovered from his previous injuries, but it's more mental than physical at this point::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::wonders if she's starting to lose her mind obsessing over all the questions::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: startles up with the double shadow knife Sirol gripped in his right hand... pauses ... blinks :: MO: oh... hey.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Turns quietly to check on some incoming data::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::steps into the CO's ready room, tricorder pointed at the side of the door frame:: CO: Sorry it took so long to get to that fanfare, Sir.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@::Gets an alert and checks her desk, then hits her combadge:: *Twilight*: Twilight, patch me through to Claymore's medical department.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks back down to his console, flicking at the console and continuing his scroll through the reports::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Starts back seeing the blade, then slightly relaxes.:: FCO: Evening.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Makes her way to the door and steps out, looking each way to see who her security-guard-of-the-hour might be::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> OPS2: Hmm, that sounds relaxing...
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> CMO: Do you know if it is the original limb that will be attached?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Blinks, as he had mentally braced himself for the staggering pomp, and it didn't show up::  OPS:  Ah.  Not a problem.  What can I do for you?  ::Motions to the chair::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS3: From what I understand, yes. We're sending it over with you as we had it in stasis, per your request.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish> ::notices Secord not staggering but not moving so gracefully, a tinge of temporary pity filling her::  ACE: You okay?
Host SM_James says:
@<Twilight> *TCO*: One moment, Captain.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_PO1_Goring> ::watches the exchange between Sarish and Secord::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: OPS receives a communication request for sickbay. Source: Twilight.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Pulls up a chair to the side of his bed:: FCO: How are you feeling?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Reaches over to grab the cup of coffee she had brought earlier for the start of Gamma shift.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::decides to do her job for once; she scans the message:: *CMO*: Incoming comm from the Twilight.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> ::eyes Sarish somewhat distrustfully, never really caring for her or Grant too much, particularly after their personal-ish blow up months ago::  ENG: I'll live.  ::walks by her, nearing even brushing into her shoulder as he does::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Um... what's that Terran fruit... peachy.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods slightly as he makes a few adjustments:: CO: Just finally getting to this.  Anything else we can do for you, Sir?
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS3: Speak of the devils. *OPS2*: Go ahead and patch them through, thank you.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish> ::watches him walk by, then walk away, finally shaking her head and looking at Goring::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey>  :: catching a yawn she turns at the sound of the door opening::   CIV:  Can I help you, Ma'am?
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: Twilight indicates a connection, as does Stevens’ combadge. Audio only.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: Funny.  The readings on the PADD indicate that you're feeling bit of pain.  Are you?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux>::nods and feeds the comm line from the shuttle to the bridge then down to sickbay.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::paces back and forth in front of the holographic display in the lab, the room all to herself, deciding she can't stay put any longer. She smashes a fist on the console to shut down the display to save power and leaves making a beeline for the turbolift::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM1_PO1_Goring> ::returns the look, and also watches as Secord disappears into his office area::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
*TCO*: Doctor Stevens here. I was just about to ring you guys up myself. How can I help?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: I'm aware of it...  it's subsiding.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Shakes his head::  OPS:  No, unless there's an update on the comms beyond that which you've already relayed.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
;:Turns the other way to spot Lindsey:: SEC: Ah, hello. I'm hoping to spend a little time in the main lounge...if that's okay?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: And how do you feel the condition of your sleep was?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::leans back for a moment, rubbing his eyes::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::shakes his head slightly and sighs:: CO: There. I disabled the trigger and cleared the program...if you want it to go off it is still saved, and the computer can access the volume controls. Again. Sorry.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: I vaguely remember dreaming.  Like I know I was dreaming... about what, I don't know.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS:  For what it's worth, it wasn't altogether unpleasant.  ::Folds his arms, looking contemplative::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::it takes him a moment to catch up on the CO's question:: CO: Not yet.  We are still working on rebuilding.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: smiles::  CIV:  I see no reason why not.  And given the time, I would not mind something to occupy my mind.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Felt... overwhelming I know that.  
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM1_PO1_Goring> ::follows Secord::

OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::listens in on the call silently for now.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO:  Take a moment.  Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.   Overwhelming, how?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS:  That's fine, and as expected.  ::Nods once::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Location of Commander Damrok?
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
<Computer> CSO: Deck 1, Ready Room.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
::chuckles:: 
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
Computer: Main bridge.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: What are you laughing at?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::smiles slightly.:: CO: You should be good to go.  Is there anything else?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM1_PO1_Goring> ::walks into the alcove type area, seeing Secord at the replicator::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles a bit:: SEC: Great. Thank you.  Also, could you do me a small favor?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS:  No, Lieutenant.  ::Smiles::  How's the leg?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Can't really place it.  Just a lot of different things too much at once, induced anxiety.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> HLM: It is pretty calming, unless they start recording during a thunderstorm.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> ::registers the movement to his right, turning and seeing Goring::  EM: Something to drink?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Putting the coffee aside, she relaxes slightly.  There were pros and cons to gamma shift.  A pro was it tended to be quieter.  The con, well... she shook her head and looked around the bridge.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: Do you have that a lot when you wake up?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Like if one hundred people were all in the room screaming at you, and seeing, smelling, tasting, touching things at the same time.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::arrives on the bridge and heads for the ready room, her face locked into a mad scowl, not making eye contact with any of the evening shift officers::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Yes.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey>  CIV:  That depends.  What is it you need?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::is without the cane for now but probably will need it again before the end of the day.:: CO: Doctor Simmons knows her trade.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: Sensory overload and you're experiencing everyone's at once?

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_PO1_Goring> ACE: You know you've pretty much lost the room here, right? That part hasn't escaped you?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: A flash from the corner of her eyes, has her turning back around to the console to look at the sensors.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stands up as Sheva walks by, too tired to wonder what that's about::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS:  That does indeed seem to be the case.  It's good to see that Starfleet knows well enough that we need more than our share of capable physicians.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> EM: So... ::pauses:: ...that's a no?  ::continues to look at the replicator's menu options::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
CO: I should go, Sir.  Thank you.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::presses the door chime, unaware that Fong is also in the ready room::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
SEC: Would you mind asking the computer for Lieutenant Fong's current location?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS:  Thank you, Mister Fong.  ::Nods once::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
XO:  Commander, I am getting variations from the sensors at extreme range.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> ::arrives on the bridge early for shift change, walks over to the engineering workstation to start looking at navigational, and helm system status ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::starts out then stops and steps aside to let the CSO enter before heading out himself:: CSO: I was just leaving.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_PO1_Goring>  ::feels his collar tighten, and though he knows he shouldn't, takes a step closer::  ACE: You've alienated pretty much every person here, and it's about time it ends.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns towards tactical::  TO: What kind of variations, Ensign?
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::watches the Ferengi as he leaves, then turns to glance at the CO, hoping he's open to another visit::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: Curiously raises a brow but says nothing as she reaches up to tap her combadge::  CPU:  Computer, location of Mister Fong.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Well... I mean... it's been a while since we had solid sleep but it's been going on for some time.  Use to happen before last time I was on Claymore and went away when I went home, but then started back after... well...
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO:  Let’s just say it started again.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: frowns::  XO:  The nebula's interfering with a positive ID scan of what it is, but there appears to be a lot of whatever it is.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Gives Sheva a wave::  CSO:  Please, come in.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> ::sighs, then turns towards Goring::   EM: Honestly, Petty Officer, I don't recall asking for your opinion.  ::gestures towards the entrance/exit::  You can just head out that way.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: After what, T'alin?  Everything that you say to me is confidential.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> OPS2: Thunderstorm... that seems like the regular cadence of random thunder along with rain and wind chimes would be super calming....
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::moves towards tactical now, a little more concerned::  TO: Ensign Sheva was working through some modifications to the sensors to try and penetrate the nebula somewhat. Are you able to access those and see if we can get any better sense of what's out there? Or where it's going?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::steps over to the OPS station:: OPS2: Miss Deveraux, how was the shift?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@*CMO*: I wanted to let you know that Twilight is ready to see to your operations officer's treatment. If you can get the officer here, we're confident we can repair the damage.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::strides into ready room:: CO: Sir, I know this may seem completely illogical and out of the blue, but we have to go back. Back to anomaly I mean.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
XO:  I believe so... :: reaches over to tap a few command buttons linking sensors.::
Host SM_James says:
<Computer> SEC: Junior Lieutenant Fong is currently on the bridge.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::looks over at Cawney with a questioning look::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Maybe another time.  The timing is what is important.  Roughly two months prior to transfer back to Starfleet liaison.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::glances up, startled by her boss arriving:: OPS: Uh, hi, Sir. ::it takes her a moment to parse out the question:: OPS: It was good. Quiet mostly.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Moves around to the "guest" side of his desk – this seems to be a standing meeting rather than a sitting one::  CSO:  Tell me what you've found.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> :: starts initiating routine checklist crew coordinating with shipboard artificial intelligence::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: listens to the response::  CIV:  He is on the bridge.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_PO1_Goring>  ::moves forward again, this time with some intent – or the appearance of it – until he's right up in Secord's face::  ACE: I don't care if you're chief engineer, Lieutenant or anything. The next officer you speak disrespectfully to is going to be the last. 
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: I don't see you wearing medical blue.  It's more than timing that is important.  The circumstances around the timing can have as much if not more to do with something than the timing of the event.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_PO1_Goring> ACE: So if you want to save yourself the ass kicking, I suggest you learn how to talk to people.  ::turns and walks right out::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> OPS: Yeah, she's amazing.  You’re lucky.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods slightly:: OPS2: Best kind of shift.  Petty Officer Hope will be up shortly to relieve you. If you have some free time we could use a hand rebuilding main comms.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Slowly adjusts her sensors to the modifications.::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: The tactical sensors flicker slightly, then come more into focus. The signatures are familiar. Very familiar. Kethran shuttlecraft familiar.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::isn't aware of the dark blue circles around her bloodshot eyes but is feeling a bit calmer that the skipper is actually listening:: CO: I believe the anomaly is the catalyst. It was the trigger point to the Kethran overrunning the galaxy. I think our best course of action is to collapse it by any means necessary.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: blinks::  XO:  Kethran shuttlecraft, sir.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO:  It's possible it's combat-stress related, let’s put it that way.  But I haven't had that problem before.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
*TCO*: We're ready here. Would you like to send the coordinates to our OPS team for transport or are you going to beam her out directly?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, worst fears confirmed::  *CO*: Captain Damrok to the Bridge.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
TO: Can you determine their heading? Or whether they are moving?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes a moment to think about it and draws a breath when his badge chirps...sighs out the breath instead::  CSO:  We'll take this up out there if we have the opportunity.  ::Motions to the bridge and leads the way out::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::smiles at the HLM and nods then overhears the TO:: OPS2: Never mind waiting for Hope.  I'll take over the end of your shift.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Exits onto the bridge::  XO:  Report.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> ::stares towards the exit, wanting to say something else, but having a brief moment of clarity in which he realizes that he's probably given everyone enough fodder to get himself in trouble::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::nods and stands then moves to the backup operations station::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::follows the commander out onto the bridge, her blood pressure rising with the tension in the room::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::takes the OPS station and scans over power and comms settings.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Nods once knowing it's better to never force a confidence.::  FCO: But after that 'incident' these episodes started up?

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns to Damrok:: CO: We've picked up Kethran craft near the nebula. We're trying to get more information, but our sensors are affected by the nebula's interference. 
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
XO:  Heading for the nebula, Sir.  Moving slowly, around warp one-point-five.  Unable to get a number at this distance, but at a guess, maybe around twenty.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Over his shoulder to Sheva as he walks::  CSO:  Any luck getting better resolution?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<SOO_LtCmdr_K'han> ::arrives on the bridge ahead of gamma shift, finding his way to mission operations since he sees both Damrok and Davis on the bridge right now as well::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> :: finished systems checks and comes over towards helm :: HLM: Anything to report?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> HLM2: Other than a boring shift except for the hottie OPS officer next to me no... but something interesting looks like it's about to happen and I’m going to mad at you that you might get a little action.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::looks up slightly, an odd expression on her face:: CMO: Will...will you be coming with me?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> HLM: Thanks, I'm ready for shift change I have the helm.  
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> :: sighs, and gets up::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::relieves the officer at science and takes over the console, then tries to run K'han's predictive algorithms program:: CO: Scanning, attempting to compensate.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: That's correct.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Increasing in frequency and severity.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: How often do you experience these now?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: looks over for further instructions if there are any at this point.::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
*CMO*: We could theoretically beam your officer aboard, but it would require both our vessels lower shields, and I'm not especially thrilled with try to initiate a transporter while within the nebula. It might be better for your officer to be transported via shuttlecraft, either ours or yours.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<SOO_LtCmdr_K'han> ::listens in intently, also picking up on the tension right away::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Every time I go to sleep.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens looks at Cawney with concerns and sits in the biobed with her:: OPS3: I should be able to come with you.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Settles into a spot standing a few paces in front of the center chair::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: And how long does it take you to recover from these when you wake up?

OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney>::looks just a little more relaxed:: CMO: I mean, if you've got something to do here...I wouldn't want to pull you away from someone else....
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Damrok::  CO: Twenty shuttlecraft, moving at low warp... ::voice trails off; not sure where he was going with that::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::winks at Lawrence from the secondary ops station.::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
*TCO*: Understood. I'll check on our shuttlecraft availability. If we need one of yours, I will let you know; otherwise, the chief and I will be over shortly.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Increasing in time, initially it was seconds... this last time... lingering a bit... now.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: Do you need me to give you something for it now?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: No, I need to be ready in case I'm needed.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: An analgesic will not slow down your senses.  If you're in pain it will actually make you better able to respond.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
CO/XO: Contacts on an intercept course. Actual total at twenty-three...all Kethran.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra>:: takes seat at helm and nods to Lawrence ::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
FCO: It's not like a narcotic.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS3: My primary job is taking care of you. Do you feel comfortable in a shuttlecraft to get over?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: wonders if the captain ever gets some sleep... then again, maybe he did while she took a short nap between shifts.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks to Davis::  XO:  We should pick a route.  The mines we laid are a small hurdle, at best.  I don't think we want this firefight, even if we are at an advantage in here.  And for all we know, we're not.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> :: shrugs and moves to engineering one to bridge liaise... something might happen....::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shrugs and sighs slightly:: SEC: Oh well. To the lounge, then. ::Starts down the corridor toward the turbolift::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::looks at her arm then at the CMO the biobed she's sitting on reads an elevated heart rate.  She stands quickly making up her mind:: CMO: Yeah. That'll be fine.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: I don't think we're going to outrun or hide from them for too long either, though.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: looks over at Sheva and makes note of the numbers before turning to look at her console::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> :: sees Deveraux's wink and giggles a little ::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
*TCO*: We'll be in touch soon. Claymore out.

TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: smiles and slightly leads the commander::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
XO:  ...Hm.  When you frame it that way, the fight here might be the best of an assortment of poor options.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS3: If you're sure. I don't want to push you. DO you feel comfortable trying that arm out with a flight or should I get us a driver, too?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Chuckles again:: MO: Yeah, but like I stated earlier today... I don't really like taking... stuff.
Host SM_James says:
@<Twilight> ::holographically appears in the TCO's quarters, looking mildly Cardassian in appearance:: TCO: Sorry to interrupt, captain. Detecting twenty-three Kethran craft inbound. ::pauses a beat:: Their assault shuttles.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Makes me pretend like I'm in control of my body more than probably the truth.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CO: I don't know that there is a right answer here. I feel like moving off just temporarily delays whatever we have coming for us here.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::gives a light chuckle:: CMO: That is the least of my worriers.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods once::  TO:  Ensign, take us to Red Alert.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: with a nod reaches over and activates Red Alert::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Nods – despite her dissatisfaction.:: FCO: But there may come a time that you need it, and I really want you to feel comfortable coming to me to get it when you do.  Understood?  And don't you dare call me “Ma'am”.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
*OPS*: Sickbay to OPS. We need a shuttle to take to the Twilight for a medical issue. Is there one available or should we request one of the Twilight ?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Hearing the red alert.:: FCO: I should probably go.  I'll go over this and we'll talk soon, okay?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: hears the klaxon :: MO: Well... there's my sign.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
HLM:  Lawrence, check the incoming vessels' vectors and try to put us in a position to pull them through as many of our mines as possible.  TO:  Be ready to trigger detonation if any Kethran ships reach the torpedoes, and standby with weapons.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
::Briefly wonders when Sky would arrive or if he would.::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
MO: Yeah, thanks.  :: smiles ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::pulls his earpiece from the bag that he'd tucked under his console and tucks it into his ear.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS2:  Deveraux, open a channel to Twilight.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Nods and makes her way out of the FCO's quarters and heading toward the TL again.::

OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::clears his throat from the ops station:: CO: Opening a channel, Sir. ::feeds the audio only channel to the CO's audio pickups::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CSO/TO: I'm open to any suggestions you both might have on how to get a better picture of what's coming here.  ::shifts his gaze to one and then the other::  Any little detail could help at this point.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: looks over at the woman slightly behind her as the Red Alert sounds::  CIV:  Ma'am, I need to take you back to your quarters.  My apologize.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Once she reaches the TL:: TL: Deck four.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::notices something:: CO: They are already on a call with sickbay, Sir.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> CO: Aye, Sir.  ::starts prepping waypoints and relays them to Ens. Ra at helm::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Looks at the red alert starting:: Self/OPS3: Criminitly trigger, again?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Making her way into sickbay quickly glancing around to see if any casualties have arrived.::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@::Growing slightly agitated, she takes a deep breath and nods to Twilight:: Twilight: Got it. ::Starts out of her quarters toward the bridge:: Let Claymore's sickbay know we'll probably need to wait on the transfer, and send Andrews to the bridge ASAP.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Does a double-take; could've sworn Deveraux was there less than a second ago::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> :: receives telemetry information from Lawrence and assuming the last command meant to start slowly maneuvering on initiative ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::laughs and settles slightly, leaning on the biobed:: CMO: They must know. At least we weren't in transit.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues walking toward the turbolift, despite SEC Lindsey's comment::
Host SM_James says:
@<Twilight> TCO: He's already there, Captain. ::pauses:: ... I believe he slept there. ::disappears::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS:  Ah, right.  ::Imagines he knows what that's about::  As soon as they're available, then – this takes priority.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: hops out of bed and starts to put his Romulan uniform back on ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::From secondary OPS at the back of the bridge:: OPS/CO: The Twilight called; I think it was about Chief Cawney.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
XO: We can launch a class-1 probe perpendicular to their angle of approach, then have it change course and approach them at a different vector making them think we're at a different position in the nebula. Maybe use it to have them divert course towards the mines.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Looks over at Sheva::  XO:  All we have to work with at this point is our experience, unless the Twilight gave us information I do not know about.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks over his shoulder momentarily to see Deveraux there now, and wonders whether operations has simply set up some kind of instant transporter system::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS3: True that. I get the feeling that we may need to put our voyage on hold for the time being. Hopefully things stay quiet in here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Tsela-Yokaze, then back to Sheva::  CSO: Let's try that, unless you can think of a compelling reason why we shouldn't.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: Any idea what's going on this time?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::cuts into the active comm channel:: *CMO*: Sorry to interrupt, but we need the channel.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks back to the viewscreen out of habit, even though they're presently on audio-only::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: frowns as the commander moves around her.  She speeds up and puts out her arm::  CIV:  Ma'am?  I need you to return per protocol.  I will take you once we drop from red alert.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
*OPS*: Take it, we're on hold here until the disco lights turn off. Good luck up there. Sickbay out
Host SM_James says:
Info: Kethran shuttles two minutes from nebula. And speed increasing. Warp two.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: heads for the bridge ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<SOO_LtCmdr_K'han> ::pulls up sensor data from the Kethran shuttles from their previous encounter, relieved he can be doing this instead of overseeing the watch::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
COM: Twilight: TCO: Claymore to Twilight, requesting active communications line.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: considers Sheva's idea.  Given the advanced technology, she would think they would not fall for it, but they were working on so little information.  It would not hurt.::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Turns to face Simmons with a tired face:: MO: Sadly, no. Hopefully it's just a precaution and not a prelude.
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: The request is granted, and Krys is connected – again, audio only.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: Precaution would be Yellow Alert.  This is a prelude.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::feeds the comm channel to the CO's chair:: CO: Channel open, Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Twilight : Damrok here.  I take it you see we have company?
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
CO/XO: Probe ready for launch. We can trigger it to broadcast our transponder signal at-will to grab their attention.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CSO:  Question of thought.  Are they coming toward the nebula because they know we are here or think we are here?   And if they know we are here, how?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: But to what, I don't know.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: arrives on the bridge, looks around and sees his team is all on the bridge ::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: as to not interrupt Ra mid-piloting walks over to Lawrence for an update ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::taps a message into his panel and sends it to badge zero one seven.::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens smiles ruefully and nods::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Arrives on the bridge and nods to Twilight and Andrews:: @COM: Claymore: CO: Krys here. We do.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CSO: Stand by.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: You got some sleep, right?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Turns toward her with a slight smile.:: CMO: Probably better not to ask.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TO: I've no doubt they have sensor technology comparable to the Twilight's given their advanced weapons and ability to attack us through subspace.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Twilight:  My inclination is to stay to try to fight them off here in the nebula.  Do you have any force assessment that would help us make a decision?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::moves closer to Damrok – but not, like, weird close – and listens in for a moment::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Moves to walk into the turbolift::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Glances to Davis, thinking the first officer is probably about six or seven centimeters too far inside his personal space bubble, but disregards it for the moment::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: nods.  There is so much they do not know.  Otherwise she would offer the suggestion of masking their signature... something the nebula was supposed to do... well, interfere with sensors at least.::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: Sounds like my day as well. I guess a little more drugs won't hurt. Computer says so at least.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: I was working on winding down.  I really don't want more caffeine or anything else that will keep me awake at this point.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> CIV:  Ma'am.  I do not know the story behind your situation, but you do not want to ruin what status you currently have.  You can return to your quarters or I will take you to the brig.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: finishes receiving the brief from Lawrence:: HLM: Go ahead and go to engineering to liaise with Ra from here while we are at Red Alert.  Once the situation is resolves you are off shift.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: I don't blame you at all. Hopefully this disco is a short dance. I have an empty slot on my dance card I'm trying to save for my bed.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Steps into the turbolift and turns around to face Lindsey, smiling gently:: SEC: I'm very sorry if you were not properly briefed. Or even if I've been in some way misinformed. But to my knowledge, I am free to travel the non-secured areas of the ship at my leisure. I am not, to my knowledge, restricted to quarters.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> :: frowns :: FCO: Fine, let you guys have alllll the fun.

TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: wonders if there is any way to get their hands on that technology.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS4_PO1_Hope> ::steps onto the bridge and sees the department chief at the operations station. She looks at the red alert lighting then sighs and moves to the secondary operations station, placing a hand on the Ensign's back:: OPS2: I'll take over from here.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: Well, we do have a Gamma shift doctor who should have been here thirty minutes ago.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
HLM: I mean, you two can flip for it I don't care, but you do need to get rest if/when the time comes but I don't have time to figure this out so up to you two.  I'll send Ra back here.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: leaves Lawrence and heads to helm ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
SEC: I was told security is for my safety, as a medical watch, not as a restriction. If you would like to seek confirmation one way or the other while you join me, you're welcomed to. If you'd rather wait here, you'd welcomed to. If you'd prefer to strong-arm me into the brig, you're welcomed to. In the meantime, I will be moving forward.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::waiting for this conversation to end, thinking it is the third longest com he's witnessed with the fewest actual words used::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@COM: Claymore: CO: We probably stand a better chance against this force in the nebula than out of it, but only so long as it's these craft, which, between the two of us, we're likely to handle with some difficulty.  But we have good odds of success if we're well-coordinated.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: sighs and gets on the lift::  CIV:  Red Alert has you safely in your quarters.  But I will gain clarification.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@COM: Claymore: CO: However, a force like this always means a base ship is on its way. And we do *not* want to face that here in the nebula.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> FCO: I take it Lawrence updated you?
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: I'm sure Jennings will be along presently. Unless he's still working the last assignment I gave him. I don't know that his report has come in, yet.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::looks at the petty officer:: OPS4: I suppose I'll have to watch from elsewhere.  ::she sighs slightly and moves to the turbolift::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Twilight:  What do you recommend?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles again:: SEC: By all means. In the meantime. ::She reaches for the turbolift's manual controls, allowing that extra moment for Lindsey to decide whether to seek clarification while in the corridor of the turbolift::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
HLM2:  Your brilliance never ceases to amaze.   I want one of you at engineering to liaise and the other down there to help since we're short. You two figure it out.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::sits back down on the biobed looking a little twitchy::

FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> FCO: So Lawrence wants to be in on the bridge action.  I'll just head to engineering... :: heads to the turbolift ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Doesn't bother to point out that there is more than one "safe place" during red alert, strictly speaking, and presses the turbolift deck selection control::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: shakes his head laughing a little ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::glances at the helmsperson who is coming towards her. She holds the lift door::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM2_Ens_Ra> OPS2: Ensign.  :: nods ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::nods back:: HLM2: Ensign.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens checks the PADD in her hand:: MO: Looks like he's still trying to sort through the injury reports from engineering after our last dance party. Says here he wants to know if you can fill in for some of his shift. I'll let him know that he's covered for now. I'd rather we have a doctor down in engineering if things get nasty.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: contacts Tsela-Yokaze and tells her the situation.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: If necessary, I can...don't want to. ::Offers a half smile:: But I can.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::starting to have doubts about her idea with the probe, but awaits the final decision::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: I appreciate that. I'm still working with Chief Cawney so I don't mind covering for bit. If you need rest, go. I can hold this down while Jennings finishes in Engineering.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: sees waypoints laid in for mine positioning, notes navigational sensors and current tactical telemetry of incoming shuttles. ::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@::Considers a few moments:: COM: Claymore: CO: We can outrun the smaller craft, but we'd run out of nebula. Twilight can outrun the base ship, but they'd see where we were going.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
CMO: No, it's okay.  I'll manage. You take care of Cawney.  I'll run sickbay if everything goes amok.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@COM: Claymore: CO: If we could stay ahead of the smaller craft long enough to stay out of their nebula-impacted sensor range, perhaps we could pick up Claymore, drop something to spoof Claymore's signal within the nebula, then have Twilight take off.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@COM: Claymore: CO: Try to make it look as if we're running to save our own skin while leaving Claymore to its own devices.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: lifts a brow::  *Sec Lindsey*:  Protocol is that under Red Alert non-essential personal are to get to a safe area and shelter in place.  Her quarters are safer.  However, I leave the decision to you.  But she is not a prisoner.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens does a small salute to Simmons before heading back to Cawney's side:: MO: Aye-aye
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Stands while the turbolift doors close::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks to Davis, almost imperceptibly shuffling about four centimeters away as he adjusts his stance, not wishing to unintentionally convey annoyance::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
XO:  What do you think?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: Acknowledges and turns back to the commander.::  CIV: You heard her.  I am fine with the lounge.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::is currently working on exercises where she touches the thumb to each finger then each finger to the thumb one at a time.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sighs with relief as the security officer joins her in the turbolift. Somehow, Red Alert will just make this better::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shifts his weight, then moves to the right, now feeling weird close:: CO: If they think this will work, it might be our best shot. I don't like our odds either way.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Puts up a tactical display of the incoming vessels on the top quarter of the screen.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Folds his arms and takes a few steps away under the guise of beginning to pace in thought::
Host SM_James says:
Info: Shuttles one minute from nebula.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::appreciates the offer from the Twilight, but feels like their intervention takes away from Claymore’s agency to write its own destiny::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
XO:  One minute before contact with those shuttles and the nebula.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks down::  XO:  I believe I agree, yes.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens steps places her hand on Cawney's biobed:: OPS3: You're getting good enough with the new arm, I'm starting to worry that you're going to ask for a third arm to be added so you can have both arms. ::Stevens offers a cheeky grin at Cawney::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, but does wonder where he's going::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Twilight:  We like the plan.  How can we assist?.  ::Turns and begins to pace back toward his spot, but pulls up short of where he had been standing::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@COM: Claymore: CO: Spoof Claymore's signal, then come aboard. We'll handle the escape.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looks over at the helm station::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
XO:  Get anyone you need and put together a probe to replicate our sensor profile.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: We were considering sending one out to possibly mislead them, so I think we might have something close to ready.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: looks over at Fong ::

MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Starts pacing in sickbay to stay awake.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns to Sheva::  CSO: Ensign, can you configure the probe we were talking about to replicate our sensor profile?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::shrugs slightly, tilts his head::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
XO:  Shuttles have entered the nebula.  :: turns to get an approximate distance.::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: looks at Fong and grabs his own ears pretending to rub them ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods slightly, letting out a long breath through his nose, then rubs his forehead::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
XO:  Two hundred thousand kilometers and closing.  They have dropped to full impulse.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
XO: I took the liberty off having the probe loaded into launcher tube one with that modification during your parley with Twilight, Sir. ::smiles sheepishly::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods to Tsela-Yokaze::  
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: We're ready.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks to helm, yet again finding someone else in a seat who wasn't there the last time he looked::  FCO:  Uhlan, prepare to dock us with Twilight.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Twilight:  We're ready.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::shakes her head then smiles:: CMO: I mean that would make handling ops a bit easier.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: stored previous waypoint information and prepares to dock with Twilight ::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
OPS: With the open con can you request auto dock sequence, I'll initiate on their mark.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Exits the turbolift and begins walking to the lounge, enjoying the relative privacy of the trip due to red alert::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens giggles a little:: OPS3: Imagine how many consoles you could use all at once.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
@COM: Claymore: CO: Docking bay opening.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods to the general vicinity of the helm station:: COM: Twilight: Requesting docking auto dock sequence.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: slightly behind instead of in front as before.  She really needed to get the whole story on this situation.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::nods:: CMO: Of course. Then I'd need to upgrade my vision so I could see more than one.

CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Enters the lounge and walks toward the small table at which she'd always sat::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: Helm control flickers slightly, then switches to read-only. Twilight maneuvers to face its docking bay to Claymore, who's engines begin to maneuver her toward it.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS3: I mean, we can always get you a visor.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec Lindsey> :: not wanting to interfere with the woman's thoughts, she goes to the bar and orders ice cold tea.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
XO:  Drop the probe.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::wanders over to the replicator wondering if to order something calming or something to keep her awake::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::sits back watching the comm channel::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns to Sheva::  CSO: Send the probe, Ensign.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
XO: Aye, Sir. Probe away.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: watching sensors, keeping track of the shuttles.  Her preference was not to meet them again, but this time, she was a bit more prepared.  Though she could no longer feel the cold metal of the dagger in her boot.::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: The probe is launched only a moment before Claymore enters final approach. Twilight's shields phase slightly, and Claymore – shields and all – passes right through them.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::nods slightly:: CMO: We'll have to look into it.
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: Claymore's shields are lowered remotely, and Claymore comes to rest in Twilight's docking bay. The door closes immediately upon Claymore's having stopped moving.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: At least the shields being lowered were not a malfunction.  She secures other instruments as they wait.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Feels the Claymore come to rest.::
Host SM_James says:
ACTION: Twilight begins to slowly move off, heading for the nebula's exit. The Kethran shuttles ignore the probe's existence so hard its mother cries. They lock in on Twilight, who has exited the nebula... and enters the slipstream.
Host SM_James says:
