CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks over the ships systems and smiles as he continues to purr with the warp core, making sure it's operating at top efficiency.::

CTO_Webster says:
::at Tactical, reading reports::

CMO_Fielding says:
::reads over some script copies of Lethal Weapons 4 trying to extrapolate a non-lethal weapon from them::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sitting in the captain's chair, going over the latest reports::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Starts receiving ships systems reports as expected and looks them over one by one.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::exits his ready room onto the bridge::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::stands::  Captain on the bridge!

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::stands, almost cracking his knees on his console::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::moves over to his own chair and takes a seat::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: At ease. What's our status, Commander?

CMO_Fielding says:
::chucks the script, as it's not very helpful::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy>::red-faced, sits back down and waits for his diagnostic to finish::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks over at the warp core as he hears something a bit out of the ordinary.  Then walks to the warp core controls and looks them over.:: Self: Phase imbalance? ::Starts tapping on the controls.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO: We are still en route to the Dyson system, sir.  All stations are battle-ready if it comes to that.

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks at "BB Gun Magazine," but doesn't see anything that might be considered worthy of the word 'lethal,' or even 'weapon'::

CTO_Webster says:
Murphy: How are the diagnostics coming?  I'd like everything in working order before we arrive in system.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Finds out that the apparent problem he's noticed is just a normal 'hic-up' of the warp core.  Then goes back to checking out reports.::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> CTO: Almost finished, ma'am.  About 5 minutes more for the tactical sensors.  Another 5 after that for the targeting system.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: What is our ETA to the Dyson system?

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Walks over to his office and files the reports into the main computer.:: *XO*: All ships systems arrre at full operrrational capability sirrr.

CTO_Webster says:
CO: Umm, not sure, sir. Just a moment. ::turns to the FCO::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::walks around the bridge, studying the readout on all the bridge station displays.::

CMO_Fielding says:
::tosses the magazine and tries to figure out if 'long eyelashes can be hazardous to your vision' can be made into a good journal article::

CTO_Webster says:
FCO: Ms. Hacker, do you have an ETA to the Dyson system?

CMO_Fielding says:
::walks around Sickbay, studying all the posters on the walls and trying to think of a way to present her theory of military combat in a, well, Diplomatic Way::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Scratches behind his hear in a bit of irritation at himself as he's forgot to note the status of the shuttles and Away Team gear..:: *XO*: Also, all shuttles and Away Team equipment arrre fully operrrational too sirrr.

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::gets nervous as the CO walks behind him, reading his display:: CO: Can I help you, sir?

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
CTO: ETA is 20 minutes ma'am.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Murphy: No thank you. Please, carry on.

CMO_Fielding says:
::hops up and down to see if she could get some ideas.  Nope.::

CTO_Webster says:
FCO: Thanks, Ms. Hacker.  ::turns to the CO:: CO: Sir, Flight Control estimates 20 minutes to the Dyson system.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CEO*:  Thank you Ensign Trrremlarrr.  ::eyes widen, not knowing how those rolled R's came out::  I'm sorry, Ensign...  I don't know how that happened!

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::gulps, because the CO spoke to him:: CO: Sir, yes, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
::runs around in circles yelling, 'the Dysons are coming, the Dysons are coming!' and hoping for a Paul Revere-like Inspiration::

CMO_Fielding says:
::frowns as no Inspiration comes to mind::

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::tries to concentrate on her job but keeps looking over at the Captain:: Self: Stop that!

CMO_Fielding says:
::stands on her head, figuring that more blood to the brain could be only a good thing::

CMO_Fielding says:
::mutters: one of these days, I'm putting in a request to go back to Starfleet Medical.  As a patient.::

CEO_Tremlar says:
*XO*: Aye sirrr. ::Goes back to his duties.::

CMO_Fielding says:
::tries to read some reports, but her eyes get blurry.  Sigh.  Probably time to cut those eyelashes again...::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> ::jumps as his console beeps:: CTO: LT, diagnostics complete on the tactical systems.  No problems.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Starts laughing to himself as he's finally figured out that the XO was making fun of him.  Then turns to head to the Master Situation Display.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Oh, God....  Poor Tremlar probably thinks I was poking fun at him.

CTO_Webster says:
Murphy: Excellent.  Keep up the good work.  ::attempts to calm the young man with an encouraging smile::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO:<w>: You mean you weren't?

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
:;monitors the DJ's course closely and brings up the star charts for the sector to check the location of the Dyson System again::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Heads over to start another stations report.  Walks from one station to the next, checking the read outs of each and noting the readings in his PADD.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  <w> No, of course not.  Haven't you ever mysteriously picked up someone's accent after hearing them talk for a while... It just sneaks out of your mouth.

CMO_Fielding says:
::gets totally confused.  WHO are these Zynque dudes again?  Maaaaan, it's just one thing after another... is THIS what I signed up for Starfleet to do?  Is THIS what I was meant to be?::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Stops at the power transfer conduit control console and watches it closely as he doesn’t quite like the readings he's seeing.  Then starts to confer with the Engineer assigned to this post.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: No I can't say that has ever rrrreally happened to me.

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Oops.

CTO_Webster says:
::finishes her report and goes onto another::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO: See, sir?

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Hmm... I guess you're right.

CMO_Fielding says:
::wonders if Zynques just appeared out of nowhere just to get on her nerves.  Yes, that must be the solution.  They just came out of the blue just as she was getting nice and re-settled in her cozy little normal world, and started blasting people for no apparent reason except that they're a bunch of jerks::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Finds out that one of the power transfer conduits are being tested and finally understands the readings he's seeing.  Then nods and lets the Engineer continue, reminding him to file a complete report.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  I almost got killed back in my Academy days because of that.  Gotta watch yourself around those Naussicans.

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
:;looks at the time index:: CO: 10 minutes to the system now sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
::thinks that she has enough circulation to her brain now and stands up.  Ow.  That was too fast....::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: They can be a nasty bunch.

CTO_Webster says:
::looks up as Hacker calls out the time - 10 minutes isn't much to prepare::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Walks back to his office as he's finished his rounds, then orders his top Engineer's to convene in a conference room in 10 minutes.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO: Tell me about it.

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: So what would be out best plan of attack if we have to fend off the Zynque?

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> CTO: Targeting systems at 100%, LT.

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Taps on his console and sees that there wont be enough time for the conference, then orders them to assemble in his office immediately.  He starts to go over Emergency protocols with them.::

CTO_Webster says:
Murphy: Good.  Go down to the armory and assist Rolen.  I want that inventory done ASAP.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  I was just about to ask our CTO that very question, sir.  ::looks over to Webster::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::looks towards the CTO::

CTO_Webster says:
<Murphy> CTO: Yes, ma'am.  ::leaves the bridge, but not before tripping over his feet::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Confers with his top Engineers about the possible battle situation they may find themselves in.  Then orders the Gamma shift to be ready to come to duty.::

CMO_Fielding says:
::trips over her feet because she was too busy getting mad at the Zynques for landing them in this fine mess in the first place. They should just hold a nice little meeting with the Borg and get Assimilated or something::

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::glances at the Captain again then back to her console:: Self: I've got to stop doing that!

CTO_Webster says:
::begins preparing a report on the ship's tactical systems::

CEO_Tremlar says:
Engineers: We'rrre about rrready to enterrr the system, so lets get rrready for anything... ::Dismisses the Engineers and heads to his post.::

CMO_Fielding says:
::begins preparing a report on non-lethal weapons: "Dear Captain.  Well, if you want non-lethal weapons, phasers on stun could always do the job.  We could also drop the idiotic Zynques off at the next Borg cube, but I don't suppose that'll go over too well.  Love, April"::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Glances towards the XO::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::shrugs::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks back at the CTO::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Well... ask her.

CMO_Fielding says:
::sends the message and prepares to duck, then realizes that she doesn't have to duck because the CO is on the Bridge and she's in Sickbay.  How conveeeeeenient::

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::looks at the CO looking at the XO looking at the CTO::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Instinctively curls up his long fluffy tail around his waist then stuff the tip into his pocket.:: Self: We'll.... We'rrre rrready as we'll everrr be...

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks at a portrait of the FCO_OPS looking at the CO looking at the XO looking at the CTO.  Nice little montage, that::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::looks towards the FCO who has been looking at him quite frequently::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: You are very weird.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Ahem...

CTO_Webster says:
::finishes the report and toggles the send icon::

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: You are, too.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: At least I know to keep my weirdness in my quarters.

CTO_Webster says:
::looks up as the XO 'Ahems' and is startled to see him looking at her:: XO: SIr?

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: No, you don't.  I hear you spend time with Saltzberg Pretzel.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Yeah. In my quarters.  So?

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::really wants to concentrate on her work but is distracted::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks over at his many Engineer's, not really knowing any of them, but trusts them to do their best.  Then starts to intently listen to the warp core, while tapping away at the controls.::

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: You two spend time in YOUR QUARTERS?!  Oh, boy.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Ah... You're with us. Good.  ::smiles::  Have we come up with a plan for battle?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: It's not MY fault he likes my deck of cards better than his own...

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Are you ok ensign?

CTO_Webster says:
::blinks, as the XO seems a bit off today:: XO: We, sir?

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::jumps as the Captain talks:: CO: Sir?

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: You know, we'd make a great team if only you got a personality transplant.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Odd.  That's what I was about to say...

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Are you ok. You seem a bit... distracted.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::watches her blink and wonders if something is wrong with her eyes::  CTO:  Yes, we, Commander.  We do function as a team, don't we?  ::grins::

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes head:: XO: Of course, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> CMO/Hyde: Oh, quit it, you two.  Hyde, go hide in the med lab.  I have some nice bacteria you can culture.  Dr. Fielding, here are your Klonopin and Zoloft.

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
CO: Fine sir, just fine. Sorry if I seemed a bit out of it. It won't happen again.

CMO_Fielding says:
::grabs the happy pills eagerly:: Bridges: Thanks, Doc!

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Terrific!  So... What have we got?

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Starts to get a bit nervous as he's not sure what to expect.  Then starts thinking of a calming melody as he does his work.::

CTO_Webster says:
XO: I'm a bit confused, sir, I thought we were preparing to defend Dyson 1 and 2.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::mutters to himself as he goes off to the med lab.  Bridges ALWAYS sides with The Boss.  Must be a major kiss-up.  Still, he's the more senior of the two, so...::

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Don't be afraid to go to sickbay if you're ill. Dr. Fielding really is quite a competent doctor, despite what you may have heard.

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::smiles: :CO: Thank you Captain, but I'm not ill.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::is feeling a bit confused himself:: CTO:  Have you read the captain's orders?

CMO_Fielding says:
::wonders what it would be like to be a member of an idiotic race that went around just marauding innocent planets, then decides that she's quite idiotic without them, thank you very much... and where are all the pretzels?::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Finds a minor glitch in the phase inducers and quickly corrects the problem.::

CTO_Webster says:
XO: Of course, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
::puts her feet up and wonders if the Captain's read her message.  Hmmm, perhaps signing it with "Love, April" wasn't exactly a good career move, but that's how she *always* signed off on notes, darn it::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Fantastic.  So what's the plan?

CTO_Webster says:
XO: I thought we were going to meet to plan it, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
::sends a note to the CTO: "Dear Dr. W. I have a totally terrific idea!  Let's just nuke the bad guys and get the heck out of here!!!  It can be a nuke set to stun, so the stupid Zynques could stay conscious so we can Interrogate them later.  Anyway, just a thought.  Love, April"::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::squints his eyes:: CTO:  You mean, we didn't?

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes head:: XO: No, sir, we didn't.  If we had, wouldn't you know it already?  ::looks at the XO, wondering if he needs to go to sickbay::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Starts trying to do his other duties but finds that his Engineer's are a step ahead of him.  Purrs to himself a bit irritated as he's just standing around with little to do except to monitor the warp core.::

CMO_Fielding says:
::sends a second note to the CTO: "P.S. If Torghie starts acting funny, just remember that he thinks he's been to meetings he hasn't been, because when he says 'we' he really means 'you'.  Love, April"::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::wonders if the XO and CTO's conversation is an argument or disagreement::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Right.  So let's hop to it, Commander.  ::goes to her station::

CTO_Webster says:
::frowns as the XO hops to her station:: XO: Aye, sir.  Whatever you say, sir.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*CEO*: What's your status down there, Mr. Tremlar?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Any suggestions?

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Smiles with a grin as he has something to do.  He quickly brings up the ships status report and taps his Comm. badge.:: *CO*: Everything's worrrking fine sirrr.  All systems at full operrrational capability sirrr.

CTO_Webster says:
::points to her console:: XO: This is my general idea, sir.  Since we would be tactically outnumbered if more than three ships were in the area, I thought we could hide behind this moon to get a full sensor reading first.

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::smiles at the readings on the sensors:: CO: Entering the Dyson System in two minutes sir. Shall I reduce speed?

CMO_Fielding says:
::wonders if she should go up to the Bridge... nah.  She'd only get hit by flying PADDs (completely ignoring the fact that she's usually the one throwing PADDs everywhere)::

Host Captain_Grift says:
*CEO*: Understood. Good work Ensign.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  And they won't be able to detect us?

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::waits for the Captain's response::

CEO_Tremlar says:
::Smiles as he nods to his Engineers.:: *CO*: Thank you sirrr.  All shuttles and Away Team equipment have been checked out too sirrr.

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Once we enter the system, go to full impulse and hail the government on Dyson.

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
CO: Aye sir, full impulse.

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes:: XO: I don't believe so, sir. According to reports, this moon has an atmosphere ... ::stops as she hears the CO::

CTO_Webster says:
CO: Sir, I don't think that's a good idea.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Once we enter the system, go to red alert, we don't want to risk being ambushed.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Oh?

CMO_Fielding says:
::turns off the anti-grav in Sickbay just for a change of scenery::

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::taps the helm control and reduces to full impulse:: CO: Sir, entering the system now, going to full impulse.

CTO_Webster says:
CO: Sir, I don't think we should go barreling into the system.  If there are more than three ships, there's no way we can win a firefight.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: What do you suggest?

CTO_Webster says:
CO: I was just suggesting to Commander Sanders that we come in behind this moon ::points:: It's atmosphere will protect us from the Zynques substandard sensors, but WE will be able to scan the system.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Good idea, send the coordinates to the helm.

CTO_Webster says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir.  ::sends coordinates to Ms. Hacker::

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
::hails the planet:: COM: Dyson: This is the USS Don Johnson on approach. 

CMO_Fielding says:
::floats up to the ceiling and turns upside down, then wonders if it would help her think... not really.  Hmm.::

CTO_Webster says:
FCO: Ms. Hacker, do you have the coordinates?

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
CTO: Waiting for confirmation from Dyson Commander. Standing by.

CMO_Fielding says:
::is floating by on the ceiling of Sickbay.  Hmmm, this isn't bad; maybe turning grav off once a day for an hour would be good for everybody::

FCO_OPS_Hacker says:
CO: Waiting for a response from the planet sir.

CTO_Webster says:
FCO: Those are different coordinates, to hide us from sensors.

CMO_Fielding says:
::hopes that Hyde won't turn the gravity back on while she's high in the air...::

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Let's hope they're still there...
