USS DON JOHNSON, NCC-61701
SD 10411.18
Occam's Razor, Part III

SUMMARY:  A partial success of a sensor probe and a finicky magnetic constrictor has caused a minor set back.  The sensor probe, was simply a result of its proximity to the anomalous transmission.  The magnetic constrictor, a case of human error.  Error on the part on one Tim Neiman.  At any rate, some useful data has been learned about the transmission source, and they have another 31 and a half hours to figure out what to do with it.  Now the next question is what to do with Cmdr. Neiman?  Does the captain put him in the brig as suggested by the XO and the CSO, or wait for another little mistake again?  We shall see won't we?
Host Neiman says:
{{{{{RESUME: OCCAM'S RAZOR:  PART 3}}}}}
Host Neiman says:
::Stops about to enter the TL and turns to the CO::  CO:  Yes Captain?
CEO_Arca says:
*CO*:  Captain I recommend that we shut down the core till we are sure that it’s stable.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::enters the bridge and takes her position, logging in on her console.  Reads the report on Neiman, bringing herself up to speed::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::taking her PADD she walks  over to where the captain is and hands her the PADD::
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  My CTO and XO have a few questions for you.
Host Neiman says:
CO:  Of course, I'd be happy to answer any questions
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks at Neiman::
CO_Adrel says:
XO:  Go in the conference room with Mr. Neiman and the CTO and ask the questions you need.
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  Thank you.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::On the bridge going over reports.::
CO_Adrel says:
*CEO*:  Is that really necessary or can't you do the repairs without shutting it?
Host Neiman says:
::takes a step back onto the bridge, letting the TL doors close::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman: Yes indeed I do have a few questions for you.
CO_Adrel says:
::takes the PADD handed to her by the XO::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::walks over to Neiman:: Neiman:  After you.
CSO_JohnSea says:
::looks at Neiman sideways::
Host Neiman says:
::walks towards the conference room::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::walks behind him::
CEO_Arca says:
*CO*:  Captain I recommend that we shut down the core till we are sure that its stable and may I have permission to go over Neiman’s lab?
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  Permission to join the meeting.
Host Neiman says:
::enters the conference room and moves to the table, rests his arm on back of chair::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::enters and takes the chair to the left of the CTO::
CO_Adrel says:
CSO: I would prefer you going in the lab with the CEO to check that everything is safe
CTO_MeganSea says:
::points to the chair:: Neiman: have a seat.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Yes Ma'am.
Host Neiman says:
CTO:  As you wish.  ::sits::
CO_Adrel says:
*CEO*: As I've said, is it really needed because I didn't get a report about an unstable core?
CSO_JohnSea says:
::heads to Neiman's lab::
CO_Adrel says:
*CEO*: The CSO will accompany you in the labs.
CSO_JohnSea says:
::scanning for Molecular T Nitrate::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::stands near the door, arms folded, watching::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::hands the CTO another PADD like the one she handed the Captain::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::unfolds her arms and takes the PADD and reviews it::
CO_Adrel says:
::makes a 180-degree turn and walks towards OPS::
CSO_JohnSea says:
::pops open his tricorder outside Neiman's quarters::
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  CSO detects MTN residue, very small amount.
CEO_Arca says:
*CO:* All depends on the full extent of the damage but we could leave her on for now.
Host Neiman says:
::looks at the CTO, and smiles politely::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CTO: What I have is given you a copy of some questions to propose.
CEO_Arca says:
::exits ME and heads for the Main Labs::
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Sees the Captain coming and straightens but still looks at her console.::
CSO_JohnSea says:
*CO*:  I am outside Neiman's quarters I would like to enter now, I am detecting Molecular T Nitrate which is a coolant and can be a cross contaminant
CO_Adrel says:
*CEO*:  Leave her on now and have your team look at it ASAP.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::doesn't return the smile, but is ever alert::
CO_Adrel says:
*CSO*:  Enter, Cmdr. Make sure you take the proper precautions.
CO_Adrel says:
OPS:  How is the analysis coming?
CEO_Arca says:
*CO*:  Already done that sir.
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Slowly Captain, slowly.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::nods in the XO's direction, waiting on her to take the lead in the investigation, as she herself wasn't present::
CSO_JohnSea says:
::puts on gloves:: *Computer*:  Open Neiman's quarters on the Captain's orders.
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Too many variables.  It has been difficult to narrow much down besides determine that this occurrence is not random and that it is not natural.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  This is an informal questioning but we will come to an agreement as to just how far you can go without jeopardizing this ship.
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  The doors to Neiman's quarters slide open on command.
CEO_Arca says:
::opens his tricorder and start to program the scanners to read for M-T- Nitrate
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CTO: You want to start?
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  CEO detects MTN residue, very small amounts also
CSO_JohnSea says:
::scans Neiman's quarters for Molecular T Nitrate::
CO_Adrel says:
OPS:  Indeed it seems to be a complicated transmission. What is your theory on it so far?
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Jeopardizing the ship, who's jeopardizing the ship?
CTO_MeganSea says:
XO: No, I'll leave that honor to you, Ma'am.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman: Your actions allowed a small amount of MTN to enter the engineering systems in the lab where you were working.
CSO_JohnSea says:
::scans for all radiation in Neiman's quarters and anything out of the ordinary::
CSO_JohnSea says:
::bags boots in evidence bag::
CEO_Arca says:
::exits the main labs and head for Neiman quarters::  Self :For a week I have been redirecting power to his quarters not the lab.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::uses her tricorder to scan Neiman's bio-signature to see if he's lying::
CEO_Arca says:
Self: Don't I feel stupid.
Host Neiman says:
XO:  I had a small spill, and I thought I had it all contained, was that the problem?
CO_Adrel says:
::sits down in her chair and wishes she would be a telepath like 99% of her crew so she could listen in on everything happening::
CSO_JohnSea says:
*CTO*:  I have recovered a set of boots with Molecular T Nitrate in Neiman's quarters, he caused the contamination it seems, I have bagged the boots in an evidence bag.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::the scan says he is telling the truth::
CEO_Arca says:
::reaches Neiman’s doors and presses the panel to open the door and walk in::
CTO_MeganSea says:
*CSO*: excellent, place them in a containment field and lock them up.
CEO_Arca says:
CSO: Hello Commander.
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Thus far, from what I have seen of Neiman's mannerisms and his work profile, I do not believe he is intending to put at risk personnel here,  I do believe that he is unaccustomed to working in a multi person environment with the structure that we have.
CEO_Arca says:
::overhears the CTO’s  message:: CSO: Find something?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  In your eagerness to get your mission accomplished you failed to realize that this ship works as a team and not one individual?
CTO_MeganSea says:
XO: The CSO has recovered a set of boots with the Molecular T-Nitrate from Neiman's quarters.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO: Come in, Exhibit A, boots with Molecular T Nitrate, it is our guest
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CTO: Where were they found?
CTO_MeganSea says:
XO: The CSO is having them contained and locked up in the brig for evidence.
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Sorry, but in my line of work, I usually have to rely on myself to get things done.
CEO_Arca says:
::walks over a looks at the boots::  CSO:  Did he drop some and step on them?
CO_Adrel says:
OPS: I wasn't talking about Neiman but the transmission itself. But  yeah,  you are right, Neiman doesn't seem to be a people person.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO: Looks like it.
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: That being said Captain, I am fairly certain that we can take accurate account of his judgment and recommendations, however I do believe that certain measures need to be taken to assist Cmdr Neiman with the Command Structure aboard this ship so that there is no safety and security risk.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman: These are your boots correct?
CO_Adrel says:
::nods at OPS:: OPS: Yep, which is why I am putting our new XO to the test and see if she can help Mr. Neiman get in line.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO: I will be putting the boots in the evidence locker in case the CO decides disciplinary action is warranted
CTO_MeganSea says:
:;walks away from the doors and speaks to Neiman:: Neiman:  Around here, we're a team and we rely on each other...maybe that is a lesson you should learn.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::pulls up the view screen::
CO_Adrel says:
::gets up and moves to SCI 1 while the CSO isn't there:: OPS: Wow, a long time since I sat here.
CEO_Arca says:
CSO: If he did that in the storage room he could have spread it around most of the ship.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO: I suggest we perform a ship wide scan beginning with the M/AM chamber to see if any are in the injectors
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::turns the computer screen to show Neiman his boots::
Host Neiman says:
XO:  They could be mine, problem is that Starfleet issue boots are all the rage this year.  ::Smiles::
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Regarding the transmission, we must isolate the finer inequities of it in microscopic detail and perhaps find a common thread.
CEO_Arca says:
CSO: I agree sir and do you know if the neutralizer is harmful to humanoids?
CSO_JohnSea says:
*Computer*:  Scan the boots for DNA traces of Neiman.
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: How does it feel ma'am?
CTO_MeganSea says:
Neiman:  However, DNA shows them to be "Your" boots.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman: The substance MTN was found on them.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO:  I do not and I will investigate.
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Then they are likely mine.  
CO_Adrel says:
OPS: Not bad. ::scans:: Give it a shot... isolate the finer inequities... it'll take time but we need to find answers.’
CSO_JohnSea says:
~~~Megan: If he wants to be coy then I suggest recommending his arrest.  If he admits a mistake then that’s different.~~~
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Look, I accept full responsibility for fouling up your magnetic constrictors, all right.  Can we get back to business now.
CEO_Arca says:
*Computer*:  Scan the entire ship for MTN and start with the M/AM chamber.
Host Neiman says:
<LCARS>  CEO:  M/AM reaction chamber remains 0.005% contaminated with MTN, remaining inventory of MTN is accounted for and is secure.
CTO_MeganSea says:
XO: I would recommend that someone from security and from engineering accompany Commander Neiman about the ship, if he is allowed to go free.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman: Mr. Neiman! you will tone your voice or I will put you on report.
CEO_Arca says:
*Engineering* What is the diagnostic on those constrictors.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO: Then we in fact do have contamination at 0.005%
CTO_MeganSea says:
::keeps an eye on Commander Neiman::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman: On this ship we work as a team regardless of orders.  As for your mission specialty, you have full rein up to the point of where you jeopardize the safety of the ship, crew, and captain.
CEO_Arca says:
CSO: Looks like it sir I going to have to neutralize them before fixing the problem.
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Yes Captain, the computer is working on that now.  Would you mind if I took a few minutes of a break, I need to get a refreshment.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO: Are you going to need to drain the warp core then to clean the contamination?
CO_Adrel says:
OPS: Go right ahead, Ens.
Host Neiman says:
XO:  I can appreciate that, Commander.  But most of the people on this ship wouldn't understand my equipment.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  As for now you will be accompanied by a security guard and an engineer from engineering until I deem that you can be trusted.
CEO_Arca says:
CSO:  Depends on the nuetralizing agent if it would survive in the core no but I would like to drain it just to make sure.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  As far as your mission orders, all requests for power will go through my CEO or me. Is that understood?
CEO_Arca says:
CSO:  The captain is not going to like this.
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Sure, sure.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO:  OK I will inform the Captain that we need to come off mission to deal with this
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Can I get back to work now.  Commander?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  There will be no more of these little mistakes.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO:  Please examine all command functions beginning with the Dilithium Chamber
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Sets the computer to signal her if anything comes back while she is gone, then scuttles to the TL and down to the Mess-hall stopping at the little girl officers room first::
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Of course not.  We're a team...  
CEO_Arca says:
*Computer*:  List all agents that we have onboard that could neutralize MTN.
CSO_JohnSea says:
*CO*:   We will need to come off mission to cleanse the warp core of contamination.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::Comm's Santiago to come up to accompany Commander Neiman::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:   And further more your liberty of this ship will be restricted until we reach where your mission takes place.
CO_Adrel says:
*CSO*: The warp core is contaminated to what percentage?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::makes a note in the ships log::
CTO_MeganSea says:
*CEO*:   Ensign, can you send one of your engineers up to accompany Commander Neiman about the ship?
CEO_Arca says:
::exits Neiman’s quarters and head back to engineering::
Host Neiman says:
<LCARS> CEO:  MTN in direct contact with warp plasma cannot be reclaimed.  Proper procedure is to purge plasma system and restart.
CO_Adrel says:
FCO:  Take us out of geo-synchronous orbit and bring us in a safe area to deal with a warp core situation.
CEO_Arca says:
*CTO*:  As soon as I get back to ME I'll send one up are you still in the conference room?
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  0.005 % however, when there is a contaminant, which is obviously matter in a M/AM reactor, which must be a pristine environment, any contamination is unacceptable
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
~~~CTO:  For some reason I don't trust him.  I want him watched at all times.  Something is not right.~~~
CO_Adrel says:
*CSO*:  Okay, decontaminate the warp core.
CO_Adrel says:
::gets up and goes in the conference room::
CTO_MeganSea says:
*CEO*:  Just send one to the bridge, I'm having one security officer and an engineer accompany Commander Neiman around on his duties.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Sits down in a "booth" next to a view port while sipping her cold frosty El-Aurian Root ale.::
CO_Adrel says:
XO/CTO/Neiman:  How are we doing here?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CTO: You have any questions?
CSO_JohnSea says:
*CO*:   We will need to drain the core which will involve shutting down the core and taking main power off line, therefore we will need to come off mission and move away from the planet.
CO_Adrel says:
*CSO*:  Already in process, Cmdr.
CEO_Arca says:
*CSO/OPS*:  I'm going to have to purge plasma system and restart it way effect some systems.
CO_Adrel says:
<FCO> :: brings the ship in a safe position away from the planet::
CEO_Arca says:
*CTO*:  Understood sir sending one up down.
Host Neiman says:
XO:  I have a question.
CEO_Arca says:
::enters ME grabs the closest crewman and tells him to get to the bridge and watch Neiman like a hawk::
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  I have a question first.
CSO_JohnSea says:
*CTO*:   We are shutting down main power that will take phaser’s offline and reduce shield output to only battery/impulse output.
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  Actually, a statement.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::listens as the CO speaks::
Host Neiman says:
::nods::  CO: By all means.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CO:  Mr. Neiman has been restricted to certain areas only and under guard with a security officer as well as an engineering officer.
CO_Adrel says:
::approaches Neiman and stands next to him hoping this positioning will make him feel a bit uneasy::
CTO_MeganSea says:
*CSO* Aye, will tell my replacement
CO_Adrel says:
XO:  Good,  ::turns to Neiman::  Neiman:  Do you know what your little not playing with the team caused?
CEO_Arca says:
*Computer*:  Shut down main power the purge plasma system and restart main power
CEO_Arca says:
*Computer*:  How long will this procedure take?
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  Do you?
CSO_JohnSea says:
::walks to the turbo lift, if we get jumped now we will waddle around like a garbage scow::
Host Neiman says:
CO:  Ahhhh, it caused a MINOR malfunction in the magnetic constrictors.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO:  I am needed to monitor shields on the bridge, I don't like being this close to the planet without being watchful.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  A Minor malfunction??
CSO_JohnSea says:
<Computer>*Bridge*
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  Actually no. It contaminated the warp core. We are now moving away from the planet, therefore out of mission, to decontaminate. Happy?
Host Neiman says:
<LCARS> CEO:  Shut down, purge and repriming of warp core will take 30 minutes to complete
CSO_JohnSea says:
::enters main bridge::
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Minor.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::takes her leave of the conference room, sending in Santiago instead::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  That is nothing minor about it.
CSO_JohnSea says:
::frowns at the reduced sensor output::
Host Neiman says:
CO:  Excellent, that'll give me time to analyze the new data.
CO_Adrel says:
::moves her hand to show to the XO to stop talking for a minute::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::enters the bridge and back to her console, monitors minimal shields::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks up at her husband and smiles::
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Commander, its a simple purge and prime operation to clear out any contamination.
CSO_JohnSea says:
::warm smile at Megan with his soft blue eyes::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CSO:  How long until we have full power?
CSO_JohnSea says:
::stands behind the center chair::
CEO_Arca says:
Computer:   When main power is restored rescan the entire ship for MTN report any contamination
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  It's not excellent. You have put this crew, ship, and you in jeopardy. You need to learn to work as part of a team. Now you'll have, as the XO told you, too little guards following you around. I hope you cooperate. I was told to help you but if you put us in danger, hell, I won't.
Host Neiman says:
<LCARS>  ::beeps at the CEO::
CSO_JohnSea says:
CTO:  At least 30 minutes if we get jumped now we're toast. 
CSO_JohnSea says:
CTO: I don’t even know if we can fire torpedoes on batteries maybe 
Host Neiman says:
Self:  That'll be a help.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::brings up long-range scanners;:
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  Supposing in those few minutes, we could have been attacked.
CEO_Arca says:
*Bridge*:  Main power will be offline for 30 minutes.   We are going to repair the constrictor casing while the computer works.
CSO_JohnSea says:
Megan:  Don’t count on the sensors, on batteries it will look like staring through mud.
CSO_JohnSea says:
*CEO*:   Precautionary measure, maintain full power to forward and after torpedoes and load them.
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  Now, start following the rules. You'll get our full cooperation. Understood, cmdr?
CTO_MeganSea says:
John:  True.
Host Neiman says:
CO/XO:  Look, again, I'm sorry, won't happen again.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::pulls back to short range::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  For your sake I hope not.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Completes her drink and returns it to the replicator and picking up a piece of fruit from the counter on the way out and heads back to the bridge.::
CEO_Arca says:
*CSO*:  Understood sir are we excepting company?
CSO_JohnSea says:
Megan:  While the core is down lets raise the shields yes?
CO_Adrel says:
XO:  Make sure your consequences are implemented and note it down so I can make sure his superiors know.  ::turns to Neiman::
CSO_JohnSea says:
*CEO*:   I get paid to be paranoid.
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman:  And if you cooperate and be a good boy, they'll know too.
CO_Adrel says:
::exits the conference room::
CEO_Arca says:
::starts to work on the casing and repair the infected parts::  CSO:  Acknowledged sir and understood.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  I've activated the shields while we're vulnerable.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  Forward and after torpedoes are loaded, phaser’s are off.
CO_Adrel says:
CSO: Good, good.  How long will it take Ens. Arca to decontaminate the warp core?
CEO_Arca says:
::hands over the job to a crewman and heads to his console::
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  Approximately 30 minutes.
Host Neiman says:
XO:  We done here?
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks up::  John:  We have minimal shields now, they are maintaining as well as expected.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CO:  I have nothing else.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Arrives back on the bridge taking the final bite of her fruit and noticing a message about a power down phase from engineering and switches her analysis testing’s to back-ups.::
CSO_JohnSea says:
Megan:  At least it’s something, maybe we can get an extra hamster in a wheel to generate power.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::smirks at the remark::
CEO_Arca says:
*CSO*:  Redirecting reserved power to aft and forward launchers and loading them.  ::typing in the command for the procedure::
CO_Adrel says:
CSO:  30 minutes. That's long when we are in a space we don't know with a weird transmission. But I guess it's the fastest we can do.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  I suggest withdrawing from the gravity well of the planet until we have main power.
CEO_Arca says:
*CSO*:  Commander we can launch some shuttle’s  to cover us just incase.
CO_Adrel says:
CSO:  I'm sure I told the FCO to bring us away from the planet.
CO_Adrel says:
CSO:  We should be far enough.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Neiman:  You may return to your quarters.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::monitors shields::
Host Neiman says:
XO:  Thank you, I'll actually be heading to the lab.  ::bows slightly::  By your leave.
CSO_JohnSea says:
CEO:  We shouldn’t need shuttles as of yet.
CEO_Arca says:
*Computer*:  Time to main power restoration.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::Santiago stands ready to take Commander Neiman in tow::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::gets up and walks out of the conference room::
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  Suggest we deploy probes to give us sensor data until we have main power.
Host Neiman says:
<LCARS>  CEO:  Estimated, 20 minutes to power up.
CO_Adrel says:
CSO:  Good idea. ::as she takes back her seat::
CEO_Arca says:
*CSO*:  Just a suggestion.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*Santiago*:  Make that to the lab.  I want him watched round the clock.
CTO_MeganSea says:
<Santiago> XO:  I've got his back, he won't escape me.
CSO_JohnSea says:
::deploys probes in a wide search arc set to LR and SR resolutions , inserts Library computer tie in earpiece::
Host Neiman says:
::looks at Santiago and grins:, continues to TL and exits::
CEO_Arca says:
*Computer*:  Run full diagnostic on the repaired constrictor and report.
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  OPS monitors detect a higher power draw from Neiman's lab.  The lab is still drawing max power, bypassing the ships power allocations protocols::
CTO_MeganSea says:
<Santiago> ::follows Neiman::
CEO_Arca says:
::walks past the power monitor and stops and walks back to it::
CSO_JohnSea says:
::notices his sensors start to dim:: CO:  Something is draining my sensors.
CEO_Arca says:
*Computer*:  Set power levels in Neiman quarters back to normal.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::enters the bridge and takes her place next to the captain::
Host Neiman says:
::Exits the TL and walks to the lab with Santiago in tow.::  Santiago:  Boring job, eh?
CO_Adrel says:
::hears the CSO's comment::  OPS:  Can you check what's draining too much power?
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO:  Captain, the lab has a high power draw.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::Santiago meets up with the female engineer and they look at Neiman::
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  That’s it now,  it’s like looking through mud....
OPS_C_Pino says:
All:  Its Neiman's lab.......
CO_Adrel says:
OPS:  Lower his power allocation.
CEO_Arca says:
Computer:  Then redirect power to key systems.
CO_Adrel says:
OPS: And notify Neiman that we are lowering his power until the decontamination is done.
OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: I never approved any more with the main power down.  He must have rerouted it.
Host Neiman says:
<LCARS> CEO:  Unable to comply, power allocation protocols have been disabled.
CO_Adrel says:
OPS:  Check that out, please.
CO_Adrel says:
XO:  Neiman is quite an handful, eh?
CEO_Arca says:
*OPS*:  I tried to redirect Neiman power but I'm unable to do it can you?
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks up from her console:: CO:  Minimal shields barely holding....
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Tries to shut power in the lab.:: *Neiman*:  Cmdr, the ship is on limited power now, please immediately discontinue power use.
CSO_JohnSea says:
::frowns:: CO:   Disabling is an act of sabotage.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CO:  Yes he is but unless we find out what he did...... ::hears the CSO::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CO:  Permission to put him in the brig?
CTO_MeganSea says:
::comms Santiago::
Host Neiman says:
*OPS*:   Ensign Pino, my dear, sorry about that, my equipment has default settings that can reconfigure your protocols.  I'm shutting them down now.
Host Neiman says:
::works to power down his equipment drawing too much power::
CSO_JohnSea says:
CO:  I suggest we deal with Mr. Neiman now under the code of justice
CTO_MeganSea says:
<Santiago> ::watches Neiman like a hawk::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
CO:  I agree with the CSO.
CEO_Arca says:
