USS DON JOHNSON, NCC-61701
SD 10409.02
Sugridoo, Part III

SYNOPSIS: Fleeing the large-scale geological instability on the planet Sugridoo, most of the crew of the DJ are just reaching orbit over the planet onboard the Comfort Queen.  The Baryon Array, holding the DJ is currently on the other side of the planet. Unaware of the problems the crew is having, Captain Hawkes and a new medical officer, lieutenant commander Lea, are en route on the Shuttle Midway, about 15 minutes out.

Host Loren says:
     (((((RESUME))))))

CMO Sea says:
::on the shuttle with Tranquility in her lap::

XO Adrel says:
::in the comfort queen, eyes closed and waiting for them to reach their new destination::

CO Hawkes says:
@ ::Letting the ship's autopilot do most of the work, Hawkes has his feet up on the console, and a big grin on his face.::

CTO Beokeown says:
::In his seat, taking big breaths, trying to keep calm on the shuttle::

CSO Sea says:
::on the shuttle feeding Riverwind peanuts and soda::

CMO Sea says:
::glances over towards her husband and smiles::

MO Lea says:
@::Sitting perpendicular in her chair, her legs hanging off one chair arm with the other arm supporting her back, with a PADD comfortably nestled in her hands and lap::

CSO Sea says:
::smiles at his lovely wife::

CTO Beokeown says:
::Starts humming a tune::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The CQ's sensors pick up the Array on sensors, and an approaching Type 11 shuttlecraft, closing at warp 6, 15 minutes out.

XO Adrel says:
::hears someone humming a tune and with her eyes still closed, starts humming too::

CO Hawkes says:
@MO: ::Sighs:: Boy! I don't know when I last had that much fun. I sure hope the crew is enjoying their R&R as much as I did. ::smiles::

CTO Beokeown says:
::Smiles:: XO: copy cat...

FCO Arca says:
::looks through the holo pictures he taken::

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> All: Just thought ya'll'd like to know, that we have the array on sensors.

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The sensor readings on the Baryon Array show something wrong...  There is no Starship parked

CSO Sea says:
<Riverwind> ::looks out the window with his pale blue Husky eyes; <Paladine> River: Watch the tail!

XO Adrel says:
Cutter: Thank you. Is everything okay at the array?

CO Hawkes says:
<Cutter> Self: Hmm....that can't be right. ::makes some adjustments to the sensors::

FCO Arca says:
Self: Thank god I can't wait to try out the DJ

MO Lea says:
@::Smiles:: CO: Oh, I'm sure they did. Nice, relaxing time being honorary guests in a new culture...getting to enjoy the best the people have to offer. They didn't have to both with all the stuff on Risa.

CO Hawkes says:
<Cutter> XO: Uh....just a minute ma'am.

CO Hawkes says:
<Cutter> ::Makes some adjustments to some dealies::

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> XO: Uh, you might wanna have a look at this. ::Whispers::

MO Lea says:
@::Taps another entry into her PADD and sets it to the side, on top of the black case she's kept close by her side the entire trip::

XO Adrel says:
::gets up and moves next to Cutter and whispers:: Cutter: What is it?

CSO Sea says:
Megan: Some vacation

FCO Arca says:
::puts the pictures down and looks around::

CTO Beokeown says:
All: Are we there yet?

CMO Sea says:
::leans her head back against the chair:: John: If that was a vacation, I don't wanna do that again ::sighs::

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> XO: Didn't you folks leave your ship in that thing? Cause it sure ain't there now. ::points::

FCO Arca says:
::sees the XO getting up and talking to Cutter::

CSO Sea says:
Megan: I know fun for the whole family

CMO Sea says:
::runs her hand through the soft fluffy hair of her daughter::

CO Hawkes says:
MO: Well, we should be there soon. ::takes his feet down from the console, and disables the autopilot::

XO Adrel says:
::whispers:: Cutter: What the hell! We did leave it there. Are your sensors accurate? Maybe they took it for a spin... could you check that you.

CMO Sea says:
John: If it had had a choice, I would have taken the kids to my mothers.

XO Adrel says:
::grins at the crew hoping they won't see that something is going wrong::

CMO Sea says:
John: I don't like putting them in harms way

CSO Sea says:
<Riverwind> ::paws on windows wagging his big bushy tail :: Paladine: fdnofndofndofnedfo   River!, tail!

CTO Beokeown says:
All: are we there yet.....how bout now....and now?

CO Hawkes says:
<Cutter> XO: ::Shrugs:: Sensors look good. And it ain't like they're mechanics who'd need to give her a spin.

FCO Arca says:
::watching the Xo and Cutter talking::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The Midways sensors read the planet, a single transport ship in orbit and the Baryon Array, oddly, no starship there

CMO Sea says:
::hears the CTO muttering behind her chair::

CTO Beokeown says:
All: How bout now?

MO Lea says:
@::Follows suit, reluctantly swinging back into the proper seating position in the chair. Begins accessing the copilot controls to monitor their progress::

XO Adrel says:
::whispers:: Cutter: Can we contact the people at the array to inquire about this?

CSO Sea says:
Megan: I know, I wish Starfleet had investigated the planet more thoroughly

CMO Sea says:
::leans forward and places Tranquility on the seat next to her.  Turns around in her chair and faces the CTO::

CO Hawkes says:
@MO: Hmm...that's odd. The ship's not in the array. That's pretty quick. They must have cleared them to take it I guess. Still...it's odd. It was supposed to take a few days for the sweep to clear.

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: Yes....::smiles innocently::

CMO Sea says:
CTO: My children are better behaved than you are right this moment, please stop acting like a child.

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> XO: We can try....

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: Let me think...no

CSO Sea says:
<Riverwind> ::suddenly staring at Paladine with his big blue eyes, the staring contest is on::

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> COM: Array: This is Cutter John of the Comfort Queen. Please respond.

XO Adrel says:
Cutter: Then, let's try!

FCO Arca says:
::puts his pictures into his bag::

MO Lea says:
@CO: Running scans for recent warp signatures in the sector.  ::Activates the scanners::

CMO Sea says:
CTO: I believe you need to resolve some issues, I would like to recommend that you visit your local CSN.

Host Loren says:
ACITON:  The array doesn't answer...  There are no life signs reading over there

CO Hawkes says:
@ MO: ::nods:: I'll hail the CQ, and see if they know anything.

CMO Sea says:
CTO: I can make that an order.........if you resist.

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: Maybe when I get back to earth...not going to here long enough to see one sorry

CO Hawkes says:
@ COM: CQ: This Captain Hawkes, Captain of the USS Don Johnson. Do you happen to know what happened to my ship?

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: Resist? I would never resist you ma'am :: smiles::

CSO Sea says:
<River>::paws Tranquility:: <Tranquility> ::giggles::

FCO Arca says:
::looks back where the XO and Cutter are talking::

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> ::Looks from his comm system, to the XO, and back again.

FCO Arca says:
::undoes his belt and walks over::

XO Adrel says:
Cutter: Want me to answer my Captain?

CMO Sea says:
CTO: Beo, stop it.  You can't fool me, I can read your feelings like an open book, they are an open wound festering.

MO Lea says:
@::Firmly closes her lips over an impulse to chuckle:: CO: I've got an ion trail; calculating time.

FCO Arca says:
XO: excuse me sir is everything okay?

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> XO: Be my guest. :: steps out of her way::

CSO Sea says:
::snags some more peanuts from a passing stewardess::

XO Adrel says:
FCO: Please go back to your seat, Ens.

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  As both the CQ and the Midway approach, their sensors are able to detect signs of weapons fire on the hull of the array.  

CO Hawkes says:
@ MO: Figures they'd leave without telling me. Still...it is early. They should still be on R&R.

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: Pretty much...::nods:: nothing I can do about that at the moment, there’s no punching bags around, I won't be your problem for much longer...:: nods sadly::

FCO Arca says:
XO: Aye sir ::confused::

XO Adrel says:
::turns back to the comm:: COMM: CO: Sir, It's Cmdr Adrel, we have no idea where the ship is, Captain.

FCO Arca says:
::sits down ::

CMO Sea says:
CTO: You can talk to me, if you like ::looks concerned::

CO Hawkes says:
@ ::Blinks:: COM:XO: What! I mean, say again?

MO Lea says:
@::Shakes her head:: CO: No....sir, I'm picking up signs of weapons fire on the array... The ion trail is recent.  She was just here.

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: I think its better for all parties if I leave...gives her the feeling its all my fault, and she can go on with her life, forget it all happened.

CO Hawkes says:
@ MO: ::Turns and stares at Lea. :: You're not kiddin'....are you?

XO Adrel says:
COM: CO: We do not have the ship on sensors. Mr. Cutter here on the transport has scanned the area to the better our sensors can, and there is no sign of the ship. We had to evacuate the planet earlier than supposed to sir... maybe something happened here too?

CSO Sea says:
::fidgets, starts to wrestle with River::

CO Hawkes says:
@ MO: Can you plot its trajectory?

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The ion trail extends to the farther most planets in the system

CMO Sea says:
CTO: Please promise me that you'll seek out a counselor at your next destination.

CO Hawkes says:
@ COM:XO: Ok. ::Pauses a second:: This shuttle is faster than the transport. Have the senior officers prepare to beam over. Tell the Captain of the Comfort Queen to take care of the rest for a while.

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: that’s not who I am...this isn't the first time my heart has been broken, but I don't want to hurt her anymore, I said enough as is....if I can't get over it though...::pauses:: I promise, I will.

XO Adrel says:
COM; CO: Aye, sir.

XO Adrel says:
Cutter: you heard my captain?

MO Lea says:
@CO: Calculating.   ::Taps a few controls:: She's still local. The trail leads to the eleventh planet of the system. And if that is the Don Johnson, and there's only one ion trail...

CO Hawkes says:
@ ::Initializes a targeting scan for the senior officers::

CSO Sea says:
<River> ::up on his hind legs wrestling with the CSO wagging his big bushy tail::

CO Hawkes says:
<CUTTER> XO: Yeah. I heard. Tell him we can only keep them for a few days on here. After that, we'll have to put down at another city on Sugridoo.

MO Lea says:
@::Plots a course to intercept the eleventh planet, waiting for the command from Hawkes::

XO Adrel says:
::turns to face the passengers:: ALL: All senior officers will be transporter aboard another shuttle to prepare... mmm... the ship. Yes. The others will remain here with Mr. Cutter who'll take care of you.

XO Adrel says:
::nods at Cutter:: COM: CO: The crew can only stay a few days on the Comfort Queen. After that they'll have to go on Sugridoo, which, believe me, is not a good idea.

CTO Beokeown says:
::Frowns:: CMO: I'm gonna miss ya, you tried to help me lots since I got here...

CSO Sea says:
::undoes his seat beat, and begins walking forward::

CMO Sea says:
::nods:: CTO: Your heart is broken, I can see that in your eyes. Your angry and hurt, I can feel it in your soul. Seek out a friend, a stranger, or someone in the counseling profession, don't keep it inside. Release it and only then will your soul be free.

CSO Sea says:
XO: What seems to be the problem?

FCO Arca says:
::picks up bag and follows the XO::

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: Umm she was my only friend really, and I blew that pretty much away

CO Hawkes says:
@ COM: XO: Understood. Tell him we'll be back as soon as we can. We'll also send for help to pick up the crew. Are you all ready over there?

CMO Sea says:
::stands and places a hand on Beo's shoulder:: CTO: I know, but she won't be the last. :;smiles::

XO Adrel says:
COM: CO: Will be in a minute sir.

MO Lea says:
@::As she waits for the senior crew to beam aboard and the CO to order departure, carefully pushes aside the thought that being in a shuttle with her seems to be inherently bad luck.  Begins running a battery of scans within the system, for anything else unusual she may pick up::

XO Adrel says:
CSO: I'll tell everyone when we are on the shuttle.

CO Hawkes says:
@ COM:XO: Just let me know when.

CTO Beokeown says:
::Stands:: CMO: I hope not...:: picks up his bag::

CMO Sea says:
::turns to the kids and River:: River: take care of the children, please.

CSO Sea says:
::looks around the flight Captain:: XO: Will this ship be suitably protected from harm?

CSO Sea says:
<River> Megan: Woof!

XO Adrel says:
CSO: Mr. Cutter told me everyone would be okay. ::turns to Cutter: Cutter: Right, Mr. Cutter?

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: If you are ever on earth, better come see me at the academy, that’s where I want to go if 
they let me...

CMO Sea says:
::scratches River under his collar::  River; Good dog.

CMO Sea says:
CTO: I would like that and you can count on it.

FCO Arca says:
::looks over at Cutter::

XO Adrel says:
COM: CO: We are ready sir.

CO Hawkes says:
@ MO: Send out a coded message to Starfleet. Tell them that we need someone to swing by and pick up our crew. ::pauses, thinking, then sighs:: And I guess you'd better tell them about the ship. Just tell  'em that we're going to find her. They're going to love that.

CTO Beokeown says:
::Smiles:: CMO: Think in a couple of years, maybe I can be the one teaching the classes

CO Hawkes says:
@ COM: XO: Alright. Stand by to transport.

CMO Sea says:
CTO: I'm sure of it ::smiles::

CSO Sea says:
::looks out the main viewer and frowns::

CO Hawkes says:
@ ::Initiates transport:: Self: Energize.

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Transport is successful, all senior officers are beamed to the Midway  <<officers now  on Midway can now drop the @>>

CTO Beokeown says:
Self: now if she wasn't married, I could hug this woman ::smiles::

XO Adrel says:
::materializes::

MO Lea says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Begins encoding the message and, when complete, sends it to Starfleet::

CO Hawkes says:
::Hears the transporter whine, and turns to count noses. ::

CTO Beokeown says:
Self: oh crap...she heard that...

CSO Sea says:
Captain: I theorize that the absence of the starship is a theft yes?

CMO Sea says:
::smiles::

FCO Arca says:
::puts down bag

XO Adrel says:
ALL: Put your pack down and take your places on the Midway. I'll explain what is going on.

FCO Arca says:
::walks over to the helm and takes a seat::

CMO Sea says:
;:drops her bag and joins the rest of the crew around the CO::

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Yes, that and the weapons fire on the array point to that conclusion. Somehow, I don't think we're dealing with joyriders though.

CTO Beokeown says:
::Puts his bag down, and finds a seat::

XO Adrel says:
CSO: As Cmdr Sea just said. The ship is missing. Which is why we are on the Midway to find it while the others remain on the Comfort Queen

MO Lea says:
::As she sees the senior officers material on the Midway, quietly slips out of the helm seat - before  the FCO can sit on her, and carries her bag discreetly to the back of the shuttle::

FCO Arca says:
::press a few command and gets our current position::

CO Hawkes says:
::Stands up and Moves to a seat further aft.::

CSO Sea says:
::ponders the situation::

XO Adrel says:
:as she sits:: ALL: Considering the recently done sweep and the fact the DJ was still not ready to receive humans. Maybe those renegades are sick from the baryon sweep...or dead within our beloved ship?

CSO Sea says:
::logs onto the Sensor array::

CO Hawkes says:
XO: Assuming the sweep was started in the first place.

CTO Beokeown says:
::giggles:: Self: beloved..

XO Adrel says:
CO: Indeed. We could check the array's manifest and logs about that.

CSO Sea says:
CO: Will the Comfort Queen be receiving an armed escort?

CSO Sea says:
::Activates sensors::

CO Hawkes says:
FCO: Engage to follow that Ion trail, maximum warp. When we have her on sensors though, let me know. Right now, we just want to find her. Hopefully they won't know her systems that well, but we can't count on that.

CO Hawkes says:
XO: ::Nods::

CMO Sea says:
::turns around, looking for a seat and notices a new face in a blue uniform:: MO: Hello there, I'm Commander Sea.

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  CSO gets computer interface with the array

XO Adrel says:
ALL: Everyone put your efforts in trying to locate the ship and gathering information about the array and what could have happened.

FCO Arca says:
CO: Plotting course ... and engaging at maximum warp aye sir

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: I think that's a likely possibility. Although we just asked for help.

CSO Sea says:
CO: I'm into the system

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Good work

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The Midway breaks orbit, enters warp

CSO Sea says:
::checks sensor logs for the attacking vessel::

CO Hawkes says:
CMO: ::notices:: Oh!

MO Lea says:
::Shifts her black case to her left hand and proffers her right hand:: CMO: ...Doctor Lea.  ::Smiles::

CO Hawkes says:
::Sees that the MO introduced herself, and decides not to worry about it right now::

CMO Sea says:
::takes the MO's hand:: MO: Please call me Megan ::smiles::

FCO Arca says:
:: pulling up ETA::

CTO Beokeown says:
::Drums his fingers on the console::

CSO Sea says:
CO: Sensor logs indicate a Ferengi Marauder is the likely suspect, the sweep began from the back and was 80 percent complete

CO Hawkes says:
::Wonders how he'll explain to Starfleet exactly how one loses a starship?::

XO Adrel says:
CSO: Meaning the ship is still not fit to receive humanoids on it... unless someone sped up the process...

FCO Arca says:
CO: Captain the end of the trail is about 3 mins away

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: So the bridge should still be hot I'd think.

CSO Sea says:
XO: The main areas of the ship would be Baryon hot

CMO Sea says:
::takes a seat next to the MO::

CSO Sea says:
CO: No Sir, the bridge would be last and wasn’t swept

CO Hawkes says:
FCO: Slow to match speed as soon a we're in sensor range.

MO Lea says:
::Concludes their handshake:: CMO: I...well, you're more than welcome to call me Julian, but 
nearly everyone calls me Lea.

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Well, I suppose that WAS too much to hope for. ::Grins wryly::

FCO Arca says:
CO: Understood sir

CSO Sea says:
Captain: The ship is likely to still be unable to generate a warp field because it is still hot

CMO Sea says:
MO: I'll call you whatever you wish to be called. If you wish it to be Lea, then that's what I'll call you.

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Can you determine how much longer she'll be hot? Is she running with shields up?

XO Adrel says:
::scans the area to help out the CSO::

CTO Beokeown says:
::Puts up his feet:: Self: I'm here to look pretty.....:: leans back::

MO Lea says:
::Smiles easily:: CMO: It doesn't matter; I haven't any preference, really. I've been assigned to the Don Johnson medical department. ::Glances obviously to Megan's commander pips:: Are you the Chief Medical Officer?

CSO Sea says:
CO: I don’t see her yet however, shields use gravitons and I find it unlikely that gravitons and baryons react well together we likely have a small window before the ship can function

CMO Sea says:
::looks at the medkit locker and smiles:: MO: well, we have no sickbay on the shuttle, but we do have a medkit. Yes, I've had the honor of being the DJ's CMO twice now.

CO Hawkes says:
::Looks around at the crew::

FCO Arca says:
::disengaging warp and activating impulse engines::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Sensors detect two large metallic masses in low orbit around the moon of the 10th planet

CO Hawkes says:
CMO/MO: Pass out weapons.

CSO Sea says:
CO: There she is

CMO Sea says:
::nods:: CO: Aye :;stands::

MO Lea says:
CMO: Twice?  ::Turns abruptly and nods to the CO, then kneels at the weapons locker to open it::

CMO Sea says:
::opens the weapon's locker and hands the MO several weapons to hand out to the crew::

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: If we beamed onto the bridge, and managed to clear it....how long would it take you to secure all command functions and lock down the bridge?

FCO Arca says:
::checks CSO scans::

CTO Beokeown says:
Self: Cool...the CMO is doing my job.

CSO Sea says:
CO: Our best bet is to attempt a landing in the DJ's shuttlebay, the DJ's irradiated condition may create a sensor black spot while it is hot

FCO Arca says:
CO: Should I plot a course to intercept?

CSO Sea says:
CO: I suggest full EVA gear, and then secure main ENG

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  As the shuttle nears, sensors I.D the ships as the DJ and the Ferengi ship.  Sensors show residual energy field diverters in place in the DJ's engine room

CMO Sea says:
MO: yes, twice. The DJ was commissioned first as the USS Comanche, I was her CMO and the CSO was her Captain back then

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Couldn't we just beam onto the bridge? We can do that from 40,000 KM.

MO Lea says:
::Takes two phasers in each hand and hands one to the CO, then the FCO, XO, and CTO::

CO Hawkes says:
::Takes the phasers, does a function check, then attaches it to his hip::

CMO Sea says:
MO: I retired for a while and reactivated my commission .

CSO Sea says:
CO: The Ferengi Marauder is a capital ship sir with a large crew, we are less than 10, this must be a stealth mission or we will fail

XO Adrel says:
::takes a phasers::

FCO Arca says:
::takes phaser and put it on ::

CMO Sea says:
::places a phaser in her pocket::

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: And the radiation?

CTO Beokeown says:
::Shrugs and takes the phaser::

MO Lea says:
CMO: Ah...This will be an interesting crew to get to know, I take it.   ::Takes another two phasers, hands one to the CSO and checks her own weapon::

FCO Arca says:
CSO: What type of moon is that

CSO Sea says:
CO: I suggest we attempt a landing in the suttlebay, in EVA suits, with all the radiation it is unlikely they will detect us

CTO Beokeown says:
::Looks around::

CMO Sea says:
::pulls her phaser from her pocket and checks the charge and setting::

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: How many life signs on the DJ?

XO Adrel says:
CO/CSO: Sensors show residual energy field diverters in the ENG.

CMO Sea says:
::looks at Beo and gives him a look that says, come on, do you want to live forever?  Get over her and get your rear in gear::

MO Lea says:
::Checks her phaser a second time and takes a deep breath. Quickly appraises all of the officers aboard the Midway::

CSO Sea says:
XO: Confirmed, that is where they will be surprise is of the essence

FCO Arca says:
::takes phaser out and checks it and places phaser back into holster::

CTO Beokeown says:
::Shrugs at the CMO:: CMO: Every one is doing my job...what am I suppose to do? ::moves over closer to her::

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Ok, we'll go with your plan.

CMO Sea says:
CTO: I was following orders, I am not about to contradict the CO.

CO Hawkes says:
FCO: Plot a course for the DJ's shuttle bay. Try to blend in with the radiation field.

MO Lea says:
::Takes up her case again and moves away from the CTO and CMO as they engage in conversation, sliding further aft::

FCO Arca says:
CO: Aye sir

CTO Beokeown says:
CMO: I'm lower then you, I can't say anything

CSO Sea says:
FCO: Align the shuttle to take maximum benefit from the low orbit of the ships, the polar magnetic fields, the sun and the DJ's radiation we need surprise

FCO Arca says:
::set course for DJ shuttlebay::

FCO Arca says:
CSO: Copy that

CSO Sea says:
CO: Data on life signs, 300 on the Marauder, 15 on the DJ (10 Main Eng, 5 in bridge)

CTO Beokeown says:
CTO: Some days it sucks being at the bottom of the barrel, rank wise I mean.

CMO Sea says:
CTO: lower? ::looks up and laughs:: in rank, yes.......but not in smaltz........you've got what it takes, you just lack confidence, young man.

FCO Arca says:
::plot course through the radiation then uses polar magnetic mask, finally to the shuttlebay::

FCO Arca says:
CO: Engaging at 1/4 impulse

CO Hawkes says:
All: Alright, everyone into EVA suits. FCO, once we land, you'll stay with the shuttle. If we fail, you're mission is to hightail it back to the federation, and let them know what happened.

CTO Beokeown says:
::Sticks out his chest:: CMO: I have confidence...I can't believe you just called me young man...::laughs::

CSO Sea says:
::gets into EVA suit::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The shuttle seems to approach un-noticed

FCO Arca says:
CO: understood sir

CMO Sea says:
::laughs:: CTO: You're not my age, so that makes you younger.

XO Adrel says:
::puts on an EVA suit::

CO Hawkes says:
All: XO, CSO, CTO and CMO, you head for Engineering. The MO and I will make for the bridge. Remember, maintain surprise. Any questions?

CSO Sea says:
::enters shuttlebay door code::

CMO Sea says:
::turns and listens to the CO::

CO Hawkes says:
::Shrugs on his suit, and moves the Phaser to the outside pocket::

FCO Arca says:
ALL: Entering polar magnetic field now

CTO Beokeown says:
CO: Sir, you should stay on the shuttle.

CO Hawkes says:
ALL: Deadly force is authorized!

CSO Sea says:
::turns off all unnecessary Electromagnetic signature systems::

XO Adrel says:
::nods at the CO::

CMO Sea says:
::reaches for her phaser and sets it to the heaviest stun ::

CTO Beokeown says:
CO: If not, I will have to go with you to the bridge.

CO Hawkes says:
CTO: Thanks for your concern, but my place is on the ship. ::Smiles:: For once the rules let me 
play too.

CO Hawkes says:
CTO: Engineering is more critical.

CTO Beokeown says:
CO: Then I insist, I go with you...my rules never change sir

CO Hawkes says:
CTO: ::nods:: Very well.

CMO Sea says:
::nods:: CO: the CTO is right.

FCO Arca says:
ALL: exit polar mask and climbing to DJ

CSO Sea says:
CO: I suggest you and the XO go to main engineering, if the ship cant be taken she must be destroyed, I suggest you activate auto destruct for 1 hour

CO Hawkes says:
MO: Lea, you will go with the others to Engineering.

CMO Sea says:
::smiles at the CTO and pats him on the back::

CTO Beokeown says:
All: booya!

FCO Arca says:
::tries to get EVA suit on and pilot the shuttlebay::

MO Lea says:
::Slides into her suit, thinking gamely, "Sure...the pilot gets all the fun." Locks on her suit and attaches her phaser to the outside holster, listening to the CTO's debate. Nods to Hawkes:: CO: Yes sir.

CMO Sea says:
::grabs a suit and quickly squirms into it::

XO Adrel says:
::finishes putting on her suit and takes her phaser and a tricorder::

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Sorry, but that'll leave all of our eggs in one basket.

FCO Arca says:
::finish get on the pants::

CTO Beokeown says:
::Goes thought the shuttle and finds a phaser rifle::

CO Hawkes says:
CSO: If I'm killed, the ship's sensors should read that. In which case, your codes, or your wife's will work just fine.

CSO Sea says:
::inputs shuttlecode:: CO: Do you wish to reconfigure the teams so that you and the XO can go to Main Eng and input autodestruct?

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The shuttle approaches the DJ's tail section, low and slow

CSO Sea says:
CO: We cannot be sure of that

MO Lea says:
::Stuffs her black case into the weapons locker they had taken the phasers from, offering up a prayer that she'll get the chance to exchange her phaser for her case soon.::

FCO Arca says:
