Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO: Have you laid in a course for the Dyson system?

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Taps on the console.:: *XO*: Ships engines at optimal perrrforrrmance sirrr.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::at tactical, reading the latest Mercenary magazine::

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
XO: Aye sir, course all set, just waiting for your command.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::mentally shudders at the CEO's prolonged r's, although he realizes it's not the poor guys fault::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CEO*:  Thank you, Lieutenant.

CTO_Webster says:
::highlights important bits of info for later retrieval::

CMO_Fielding says:

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::waits for the order to engage course to the Dyson System::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Do you ever do anything useful, sir?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::points his finger::  FCO:  Engage.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: No; but, then again, you never do, either.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
XO: Speed sir?

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Starts purring in perfect timing with the warp core, making sure it's running properly as he taps away at the console.::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::eyes widen at a new tactical weapon, the TA96. Looks up to show someone:: CSO: Isn't this cool?  ::points to his PADD::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Well, *I* have a doctorate in Medicine.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Warp seven point two three.  ::grins::

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: Well, *I* have a doctorate in Psychology, Medicine, AND Biology.  Top that!

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
Murphy:  Mm?  ::looks at PADD and takes it to look it over::  Hey, look at that!!  That's great!

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
XO: Aye sir, engaging engines warp 7.23 ::raises and eyebrow at the numbers but engages the engines::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::nods his head enthusiastically:: CSO: I think we should order some!

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO:  Hmph, you're no fun to be around.  Anyone ever told you that?

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: Yeah.  You.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Monitors the warp cores output as he continues to purr with it.  He watches the power levels rise with a smile.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks back at his wife and winks::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
Murphy:  Couldn't hurt to have a few, huh?  ::hands the PADD back::  Good luck in getting them.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::looks back at her husband then winks back at him::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::takes the PADD back:: CSO: I'll just have a chat with OPS.  That's what she's here for.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: You know, they'd probably have made me the CMO if I had a Gutenberg Award.  I know I'm a better doctor than you are.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
:;checks the DJ's ETA to the system cause someone is going to ask sooner or later::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods::  Murphy:  Great idea.  I'm sure she'll like them, too.  Sometimes I miss Riggs and his trigger happy fingers.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: You think winning the Gutenberg Award for Best Commercial Jingle is easy?!  It was to sell an IV line!  Gimme a break!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*: What have you found out about Dyson's defensive systems?

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::walks down to OPS and looks at Ms OPS Person::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Gets a status report on the impulse drive systems as he continues to monitor the warp core parameters.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: By the way, all the Casualty Kits are ready.  Like you'd even notice.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: Of course they're ready.  *I* assembled them.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Oh, and in case you're interested, we have exactly 342 hyposprays.  So there.

CTO_Webster says:
::stops reading to answer the XO:: *XO*: Their defensive systems are fairly sophisticated, sir.  I imagine that has something to do with the history of the area.  However, they have practically no Offensive systems at all.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: You're just making that up to explain all the mess you made in here.  Hmm, might come in handy if we have some bad casualties, though.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> OPS-FCO: Ms. Hacker, mind if I interrupt you?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Well, you know, war DOES tend to produce casualties and all that.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Takes a moment to remotely verify the impulse engines.:: Self: Drrriver coils fine... ::Taps away at the controls.:: Vector fins fine... ::Continues down the check list as he verifies each major system.::

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
:;turns to the XO:: XO: Commander, our ETA to the Dyson System will be 1.5 standard hours, just in case you wanted to tell the Captain. ::smiles and nods at the rr door::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Would they be able to defend themselves if necessary?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Thank you.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: True.  I figure, though, if we leave them alone long enough, they'll kill each other off and totally eradicate their problems themselves.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: And you call yourself a DOCTOR?!

CTO_Webster says:
::nods:: *XO*: That's a tricky question, sir.  I think eventually any force could overtake the two planets, but if you are talking short-term, yes, they should.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: No, I call myself "you beautiful purple-eyed vixen, you."

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Finishes with the impulse drive systems then walks over to the tactical systems diagnostic display.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Ewwwww.  I'm going to be sick, and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::leans against OPS, wondering why Ms. Hacker doesn't respond::

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::taps into the communications frequency and monitors the comm channels for anything coming through::

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: So noted in my log.  "Dr. Hyde took ill after he heard something that apparently caused him great distress."

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Walks over to an Engineer and orders him to check out the defensive shielding grids.  Then walks back to the Master Situation Display.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> CMO: By the way, sir, your Zyprexa came in today...

CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: Shhhhh!  Not in front of Hyde!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Have you had any luck finding out about the Zynque?

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
Murphy: Sorry, I was distracted. What can I do for you Murphy?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> CMO :Oh, sorry, sir.  Uh, the Sickbay looks ready for business, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: Yeah.  You think they'll like the posters?

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> OPS-FCO: No problem.  I seem to have that affect on people.  Ummm, could I make a supply requisition?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> CMO: I was thinking more along the lines of "Are Zynques made of Zinc?" but I guess yours might work better.

CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: Maybe.  We'll have to ask them when we meet them.

CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: Well, actually, I'm hoping NOT to meet any, but.

CTO_Webster says:
::stops reading to rub at her eyes, her vision a bit blurred::

CEO_Tremlar says:
*XO*: I'm going to inspect the shuttles sirr.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
Murphy: You can make the request, I just hope I can fill it. ::smiles::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Walks over to an engineering storage compartment and checks out an Engineer's Toolkit.::

CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: Ever occur to you that we exist in the hopes that our jobs will some day be obsolete?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CEO*:  Good thinking, Lieutenant.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> CMO: I try not to think about that too much, sir.  Too depressing.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::smiles:: OPS-FCO: I thought we could use a few of these.  ::hands her the PADD with the TA96 information on it::

CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: That's what Diet Coke with Lemon is for.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Nods and then walks over to his Assistant Engineer, ordering him to take over Main Engineering and heads to the Shuttlebay.::

CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: <w> ...and the Zyprexa, too, if you must know.

CTO_Webster says:
::blinks, because her eyes are still blurring, but it doesn't help::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO/Bridges: You guys are sooooo weird.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: Oh, go away, we were having girlie time.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::takes the padd and reads it:: Murphy: Hmmmm, I'm not familiar with TA96. Care to explain it to me?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Well, excuuuuuuuse me for having a Y chromosome!

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  They're in the databanks, sir.  They're a military controlled species who seem to like taking over planets to make them sort of like slaves.  The people of the planets have to give up their technologies and make weapons and ships for them.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: I'll excuse you.  This once.  Next time, get it right, and *don't* chop off half your X chromosome.  Geez.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Enters the Turbolift and remotely links his Engineering PADD to the ships warp core and monitors it.:: Self: Going frrrom somewhere... Into a prrrobable battle situation... ::Sighs and purrs with excitement and irritation.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Keep that up and I won't help you with triage when the time comes.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: I was kinda hoping that we wouldn't get to the triage stage.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  What kind of weapons?  What are their capabilities?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Wow, I win the departmental bet!  You ARE just lazy!!!  ...I mean, that's nice, sir.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> OPS-FCO: Of course.  The TA96 is an advanced tactical armament, capable of multiple-milisecond shots per round. It also has the ability to emit high frequency sounds.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: What do you mean, the departmental bet?!

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Highly advanced.  They definitely rival any of our battleships.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> CMO: Pay no attention to the being with the Y chromosome, sir.

CTO_Webster says:
::realizes the blurring isn't getting better:: *CMO*: April, do you have a minute?

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: I'll have a thousand to get away from this X chromosome-deprived individual.  What's up, doc?

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::blinks and nods at the explanation:: Murphy: Has the Captain seen this yet? I can't send this in to the quartermaster until the Captain signs the order you know.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Arrives in the Shuttlebay and orders a couple of Engineer's to assist him with checking out the shuttles and Away Team equipment.:: Engineers: We need to make surrre that everrrythings in perrrfect operational condition.  Let's get moving. ::Turns and heads to the first shuttle.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Hey!  You think I LIKE having only half a chromosome?!

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: I'm not sure.  ::blinks again:: I can't focus my eyes.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::frowns::  CSO:  And we're the only ship that Starfleet's sending.

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: You're not crossing them or anything, are you?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  I believe so, sir.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::looks downfallen:: OPS-FCO: Oh, really, I have to do official paperwork and stuff?

CMO_Fielding says:
::crosses her own eyes to see if that would help with simulating the CTO's problems::

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: Umm, no, I'm not.

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: Are you squinting?

CMO_Fielding says:
::squints to see if that would make a difference::

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: No, I'm just trying to see normally but everything is blurry.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
All:  Well, then.  Let's go prevent a war.

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: Well, how long have you been trying to read stuff?

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: Ummm, not sure.  Since my last shift?

CMO_Fielding says:
::mutters: ow, now MY vision's getting blurry....::

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: That would be, what, sixteen hours?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sits at the consol and looks around::

CMO_Fielding says:
::crosses her eyes and sighs with relief.  Much better::

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: OK, well, I did take a nap in there, so not 16 hours straight.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Goes over the first shuttle with the Engineers, making sure everything is perfect.:: Engineers: We need to finish this beforrre we rrreach the Dyson system. ::Continues with his work, then considers ordering another team of Engineers to assist.::

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
Murphy: You know that the commanding officer has to approve all weapons requistions. He knows more about what the ship can handle than anyone else, well except for the chief of tactical. ::looks around:: Listen check it out with Commander Sanders there. He may be able to help you out.

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: NAP is not the same as SLEEP, you know.  Your eyes are probably telling you to quit reading so much and get some rest.

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: But why would it start so suddenly?  This has never happened before.

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: Our eyes are often smarter than our brains.  Or was that our bodies are often smarter than our minds.  Or something like that.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Starts a powered up systems check and closely listens to the warp engines of the shuttle, purring in perfect timing to make sure it's running correctly.:: Self: Sounds good. ::Looks over to an Ensign with a smile.::

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: Well, have you ever read anything for long stretches like this before?  

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> OPS-FCO: Ummm, well ::takes a peek at the XO and then looks back at OPS:: I think I'll just...ummm, nevermind.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Commander, I'd like you to check on the weapons systems, just in case we need them.

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: Of course, I do it all the time.  Actually, less now that I'm in tactical.  You know how it is doing research.

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: Huh.  Well, come on down to Sickbay.  Bridges is tugging at my sleeve and showing me something.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::nudges Murphy:: Murphy: Go ahead, he won't bite. I think he had lunch already. ::nods in the direction of the XO::

CTO_Webster says:
*XO*: I'm about to head to sickbay, sir.  Can it wait a moment?  Or I can have Rolen do it.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Gets a look from one of the Engineers and gets a report that the phase inducers are fluctuating a bit abnormally.  Then shuts down the shuttle and orders them to be replaced.:: Engineers: Lets get to the next shuttle.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Are you injured?

CTO_Webster says:
*CMO*: OK, be right there. ::gets up and heads to sickbay, bumping into the doorjam on her way out:: *XO*: Just an eye problem, sir.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks over at his PADD while making his way to the next shuttle.  He smiles with a Catian grin as the ships warp drive systems are running perfectly.::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> OPS-FCO: No, no, ::shakes head:: I don't want to ...bother him.  Thanks ::grabs PADD and walks quickly back to tactical::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Okay.  Go take care of your eye, and have one of your people check on the weapons and shields.

CTO_Webster says:
*XO*: Aye, sir, will do.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: On your best behaviour, now, young man.  Senior officer on her way.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::sticks his tongue out at the CMO and retreats to the medical lab::

CTO_Webster says:
*Rolen*: I need a weapon's and shield status.  If you find any anomalies, contact me immediately.  I'll be in sickbay.

CMO_Fielding says:
::calibrates a medical tricorder for ophthalmoscopic scans::

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::sits up, having been awakened from a deep sleep:: *CTO*: Oh, yes, ma'am, right away.

CTO_Webster says:
::enters sickbay, looking around for April::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  I want you to be prepared to reroute power to shields, weapons and life support if it should become necessary.  I'm hoping to avoid any kind of battle, but knowing how our missions usually go, I want to be ready for anything.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
:;watches Murphy cross the deck back to tactical and smiles to herself::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Okay, let's see what's going on.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::begins a check of the weapons' systems, since he overheard the XO say he wanted it::

CMO_Fielding says:
::runs the medical tricorder near the CTO's head and peers into her eyes::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Starts a shuttle wide diagnostic on the shuttle.  Then checks on the ETA to the Dyson system with that of his estimate of checking out the shuttles.  Then shakes his head and orders another Engineering team to come and assist.:: Self: That's one hourrr too many.  ::Goes back to working on the second shuttle.::

CTO_Webster says:
::blinks::

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
XO: Yes sir, I'll coordinate with Mr. Tremlar on that.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::tries to find better info on the Zynque weapons and defences::

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
*CEO*: Hacker to Tremlar.

CMO_Fielding says:
::frowns:: CTO: Um, do that again.  Blink.

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: OK ::blinks::

CTO_Webster says:
::and then blinks again::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CMO*:  How ready are we for a catastrophe, April?

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks at the door to the shuttle as the second Engineering team arrive then taps on his commbadge.:: *OPS*: Go ahead.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: A-ha.

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: A-ha?

CMO_Fielding says:
*XO*: If we were to have a Disaster right now, Sickbay would be ready with a Vengeance.

CMO_Fielding says:
*XO*: Sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Yes, a-ha.  Your eyelids aren't touching each other when you blink.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Orders the second Engineering team to start on the Away Team equipment. Then waits for OPS.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CMO*:  Glad to hear it.  I can always count on you to be ready for anything.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::taps away on his console, finding everything in order so far::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: In short, your cornea is drying out.  ::hands over some drops:: These are artificial tears.  See if that helps.

CMO_Fielding says:
::peers at the CTO::

CTO_Webster says:
::frowns:: CMO: Why would that happen?  Should they touch ::takes the drops::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Hmmmm, when did you trim your eyelashes last?  Maybe they're in the way.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
*CEO*: Mr. Tremlar, the exec would like us to be prepared to reroute power to the shields, weapons and life support systems if need be. I have nominal readings on the power levels for the moment but I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have to improve them.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Yes, they should.  When you blink, the lower eyelid and the upper eyelid are supposed to meet.  That lubricates your cornea.  That's why people blink.  

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::walks onto the bridge, after having an extremely quick shower and moves to tactical::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::looks over any and all kinds of info on them::

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: I'm supposed to trim my eyelashes?  I think you are pulling my leg.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
:;sees Rolen and nods a greeting::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Depends on how long they are.  Oh, and if you notice any that's growing in toward your eyeballs, you have to pull it out.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sees his wife studying her console::  CSO:  Find anything else?  ::smiles::

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::notices Hacker and smiles:: OPS-FCO: Hello, Ms. Hacker.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::looks up::  XO:  Oh, just more on their military.  Seems they're pretty good.  They've done this a lot in the past.

CMO_Fielding says:
::points to her own eyes:: CTO: See, my eyelashes are practically non-existent, so I don't have to worry.  But Bridges has to keep her eyes on her eyelashes, since they're so long.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> ::bats her eyelashes to demonstrate::

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes head:: CMO/Bridges: You guys are having one on me, right?

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: No, I assure you, it's true.  

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Nods.:: *OPS*: Aye. ::Pauses a moment as he thinks.::  I have the warrrp corrre rrrunning at optimal perrrformance.  You can bleed enerrrgy from the impulse engines if necessarrry.  Also... You could rrrerrroute powerrr frrrom auxillarrry powerrr generrratorrrs.  In an emerrrgancy... You could temporrrarrrly take life supporrrt offline..

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Although ingrown eyelashes aren't all *that* common, to be honest.

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: I believe the dry cornea part, but the eyelashes, ::shakes head::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Let me know if you find anything from their past that might help us out if we need to negotiate...  or fight with the Zynque.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Well, okay, just keep your eyes on them.

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::sees Murphy has already started a diagnostic on the weapons' systems so starts a diagnostic on the shields::

CEO_Tremlar says:
*OPS*: But not forrr morrre than 12 hourrs...

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
*CEO*: Thank you Mr. Tremlar, I'll make a note of that.

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: OK, just for you.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Aye, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Your eyes will be happy, too.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  How much more time do we have?

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Oh, and here are some topical ointments if you sleep with your eyes open.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
*CEO*: Noted, Hacker out.

CMO_Fielding says:
::hands the CTO a tube of ointment::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Smiles.:: *OPS*: Therrre's emerrrgency prrrotocols for incrrreased impulse engine output... But only forrr extreme emerrrgencies. ::Goes back to work.::

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: Oh, I'm sure they will be.  I sleep with my eyes closed, so I won't need that.  ::doesn't take the ointment::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Not very common, but if you nap between paperwork, you might get used to it.

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: You are speaking from personal experience now, I suppose ::grins::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Whatever you say, doc.  *I* sleep with my eyes open all the time.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Yup, you're right, I speak from experience.  Ow.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
XO: Looks like another 45 minutes sir. Shall I inform the Captain or will you?

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> XO: Sir, weap... ::stumbles a bit in his speech:: weapons' systems are all online and fully armed, sir! ::the words after the stumble come out in a rush::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  You may inform him if you wish.

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: Anything else?  I should get back to work.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
XO: Aye sir, right away.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Nope, that should do it.  Be careful out there.  Your eyes are the key to getting the most out of your life.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks over at the Engineers as they all report that they're finished and smiles.  Then finalizes the report on this shuttle and moves on to the next.::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: May the Force be with you.  Or was that the Field.  Something like that.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::taps the comm button::*CO*: Operations to Captain Grift.

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: OK, thanks for your help.  I'll see you around.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Murphy:  Slow down, Ensign.  And only one sir will suffice.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Yup, see you around.  Be careful out there.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> XO: Yes, sir.  I'll try, sir!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sighs::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Sees the secondary Engineering Team approach him and then orders them to assist with the first shuttle in checking out the phase inducers.  Then proceeds to work on the other shuttle.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::snickers at Murphy and her husband::

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::wonders if the Captain is busy with that lady in the red shirt again::

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: Always.  Don't forget we're supposed to meet later, right?

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: We were?  Oops, I forgot.  What was it about?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::shouting from the medical lab:: CTO: She ALWAYS forgets EVERYTHING, sir!

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
*CO*: Captain, Ensign Hacker here. I thought you might like to know that we are 45 minutes out from the Dyson System.

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: We were going to talk about my last paper?  You remember?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::reads some more::  XO:  Hmm, here's something interesting.  One race fought them off with a noxious gas.  Seems the Zynque have very good olfactory senses.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Oh?  Oh, yeah.  About the spiders, wasn't it?  

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Or was it about the Atlantis Omegans.  ::gets mixed up::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  I think we could use that to our advantage somehow.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::turns back to his console, very red-faced; sees the grin on Rolen's face and glares at him::

CTO_Webster says:
CMO: No, you are writing about the Atlantis Omegans.  I'm doing the genetic paper on the spiders.  But this one is about the cats...remember now?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::still shouting from the medical lab:: CTO: See, sir?  A fine piece of work SHE is, sir!

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Sighs with satisfaction as they've just finished with all the shuttles and Away Team Equipment.  Then orders the Engineer's to take a short break.:: *XO*: Everrrything checks out herrre sirrr.  Prrroceeding back to Main Engineerrring sirrr.

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Ummmmmmmmm... ummmmmm... I think I Might, if I think long enough.  Sorry, doc, I can't remember.  But let's talk about it anyway.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::shrugs as she gets no response from the Captain:: Self: Darn that woman! Why doesn't she just go back to her own ship?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Is there anything about their reactions to particular aromas?

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::just smiles back at his friend and then turns to the command area:: XO: Sir, shields are fully operational.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Yep!  I'll look up the chemicals they used and see if we can do anything.  And I'll look that up, too.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CEO*:  Thank you.

CMO_Fielding says:
::searches in her mind::

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: I've found it!  Yes!  Yes, now I remember!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::acknowledges Rolen’s report with a nod::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Smiles and grabs his long fluffy tail and curls it around his waist and stuffs its' tip into his pocket as he enters the Turbolift.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::still shouting from the medical lab:: CMO: You're pathetic, sir!

CTO_Webster says:
::grins:: CMO: That's OK.  We'll discuss it over dinner.  See you then.  ::heads for the door::

CMO_Fielding says:
::shouts toward the lab:: Hyde: So are you, Hyde!!!

CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Okay.  See you then, doc.  ::smiles::

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::sees the XO's nod and turns back to his console::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks down at his long fluffy and pretty tail as it starts to uncoil from around his waist and out of his pocket.:: Tail: No!  Stay! ::Purrs a bit irritated at it as it slowly goes back around his waist and into his pocket again.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::slinks back from the medical lab:: CMO: See?  Best behaviour.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::jumps a bit as her console beeps again::  XO:  Hmm...  Sir?  This says that the Zynque are made up of many species.  Like a band of rag tag people from all over.  Like the Maquis.  That gas only pertained to some of them.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: If that's the best you could do, then I'm VERY disappointed.  You must be even more dense than I thought.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: You must have gone to a private school.

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: Aw, shut up.

OPS-FCO_Hacker says:
::fiddles with the ear piece and strains to hear anything on the channel::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Well, it was worth a shot.

CTO_Webster says:
::heads for the bridge::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Smiles and exits the Turbolift and heads back to Main Engineering with a satisfied smile on his face.::
