Mission Summary 10601.26
Host Susan says:
The USS Don Johnson was recalled to Earth to bring two of her crewmembers to headquarters as well as dock at Earth Station McKinley.
Host Susan says:
A smaller crew is to be assembled from the existing crew and will then take command of the USS Saber Tooth.  Once clearance is gained, the Saber Tooth is to set course for Vulcan and head there at maximum sustainable warp.

CMO_OHurley says:
::in CMO office in Sickbay preparing for physicals::
XO_Arca says:
*CMO*: Arca to O'Hurley
CMO_OHurley says:
::looks up from PADD:: *XO*: O'Hurley here.
FCO_Dunzel says:
::At flight making course adjustments and trying to figure out how to postpone his physical::
XO_Arca says:
*CMO*: Doctor when we have arrived at dry-dock I want you to get as much medical supplies that you can onto the Defiant class ship
XO_Arca says:
*CMO*: Also assembly a small staff to join us on this mission
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
::walks onto the bridge and to the command center::
CTO_Mahl says:
XO: Sir, may I be excused?  I wish to get this physical out of the way before we begin our next mission.
CMO_OHurley says:
*XO*: Aye sir.  What am I to expect on the mission?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::standing on the bridge reacquainting herself with the Defiant bridge systems again::
XO_Arca says:
CTO: In one minute I want you to check any recent communiqué from Vulcan region
XO_Arca says:
*CMO*: Doctor I wish I knew just do your best
CMO_OHurley says:
*XO*: Yes sir. O'Hurley out.
CTO_Mahl says:
XO: Are you looking for anything specific?
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
::clears her throat:: CO/XO:  Captain, Commander, if I might speak with you in the ready room?  ::spoken more as a direction than a question::
XO_Arca says:
Turnbull: Captain lead the way sir
XO_Arca says:
CTO: Not sure commander just anything take looks off and you have the bridge
CTO_Mahl says:
XO: Understood, Sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Turnbull: Yes sir.  ::follows Capt Turnbull into the small ready room::
CTO_Mahl says:
::takes the center seat, then begins going over recent incoming messages::
XO_Arca says:
::follows the captain in::
CMO_OHurley says:
::walks to office doorway:: Nurse: Hathaway, prepare some med kits and have Golan and Juzan prepare for an Away Mission.
FCO_Dunzel says:
::Hopes The defiant class flies as well as he has heard::
CMO_OHurley says:
<Hathaway> CMO: Yes ma'am.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::sits quickly::
XO_Arca says:
::continues to stand just inside the room::
CTO_Mahl says:
::Notes that nothing specific seems to be going on, but something is a bit out of place.  However, he can't pick out any details::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
::follows the two to the ready room and begins to pace:: CO/XO: I remember being in your position and having my ship practically commandeered like this, so I'm sure you are bursting with questions.
CMO_OHurley says:
::grabs some PADD's from her desk and heads into Main Medical bay::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt. Turnbull: Yes I am quite curious as to why?
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: Mister Dunzel, have you ever piloted a Defiant class vessel yet?
FCO_Dunzel says:
CTO: Only in simulations sir.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO/XO: First, let me assure you that your ship and crew are in no danger of being separated other than this mission.  The smaller defiant class vessel has a distinct advantage in that there are ways of 'hiding' them.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt. Turnbull: And the reason for the ship change.
CMO_OHurley says:
Nurse: Hathaway, I'm heading to the Bridge to check things out.  I shouldn't be gone for long.
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: I hope you are up to it.  I hear they can be a bit tough to handle at times.  
CMO_OHurley says:
<Hathaway> CMO: Yes ma'am.  I can handle things here.
XO_Arca says:
Turnbull: Hiding sir? What’s going on at Vulcan?
CMO_OHurley says:
::exits Sickbay and heads for a Turbo lift::
FCO_Dunzel says:
CTO: I am prepared for the task sir. I’ll keep them in your sights for you sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt Turnbull: Hiding?? Sir you are telling me that this ship is equipped with a cloak?
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO/XO: An artifact has been found on Vulcan...something that has been kept hidden for hundreds of centuries.  I've not been given all the details of its appearance, but you are to collect it and get it away from Vulcan
CMO_OHurley says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Bridge
CMO_OHurley says:
::exits TL and notices CTO in Command Chair::
XO_Arca says:
Turnbull: Let me guess this specialist know what to do with this artifact
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt. Turnbull: An artifact?? I am part Vulcan and this is news to me.
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: You make it sound as though we will be engaged in combat during this mission.  Remember, Vulcan is our ally.
CMO_OHurley says:
::walks over to CTO:: CTO: Hello Commander.
CTO_Mahl says:
::Turns to see the new CMO has arrived on the bridge:: CMO: Can I help you, Doctor?
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO/XO: My understanding is that this artifact contains historic evidence that could lead to a unification of all the peoples of the known universe.  There are many factions that want it destroyed, and many others that want to exploit it. 
CMO_OHurley says:
CTO: Just coming to introduce myself.  Doctor Katy O'Hurley.
XO_Arca says:
Turnbull: What does Starfleet what to do with it?
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: welcome aboard the Don Johnson.  I trust you have acquainted yourself with your new sickbay?
CMO_OHurley says:
CTO: Oh yea.  It's quite different than what I'm used to at Starfleet Medical.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CTO: Then why take a defiant sir, instead of a less or middle vessel?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt. Turnbull: There is a legend about an artifact that is some type of mind amplifier.
CMO_OHurley says:
::notices FCO::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt Turnbull: Could this be the artifact that you are referring to?
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: I'm sure there is a reason, but for now, let's not automatically assume we will be engaging in combat.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: No, there is no cloak, but there are upgrades to the shields.  Upgrades that we will be field-testing, that basically reflect any type of scanning equipment.
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: That it is.   I graduated from Star Fleet medical.  I was once the CMO on this very ship.  But, I decided to transfer to tactical.  I have more fun blowing things up than I do putting them back together. ::smiles::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: Possibly, as I said, I haven't been given all the details.
CMO_OHurley says:
::sends a smile back to CTO::
CMO_OHurley says:
FCO: Hello Ensign.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO/XO: Once you report on board the Saber Tooth, you'll receive further instructions as to your final destination and your contacts.
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: Just so you are aware, I am still a licensed physician, should you ever need my services just ask.
XO_Arca says:
Turnbull: These specialist how many and what are they specialist in?
CMO_OHurley says:
CTO: I'll keep that in mind.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt. Turnbull: I hope it is not those artifacts because if they are found and fall into the wrong hands it would mean trouble.
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: Oh, one other thing.  Before you do my physical, you might want to look over my medical chart.  We have sustained some major injuries during the last year or so that you might want to make yourself aware of.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CMO: Greetings and welcome aboard Doctor.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
ACTION:  Navigational sensors detect that the ship is off course and headed for Pluto.
CTO_Mahl says:
::Hears a beeping coming from navigation:: FCO: Report, ensign.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
XO: Seven specialists in archaeology and paleontology
CMO_OHurley says:
FCO: Thank you Ensign.  CTO: I've already reviewed it and I am quite prepared.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: I'm sure you are correct.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Well this is quite interesting and will prove to be challenging.
FCO_Dunzel says:
:CTO: We appear to be a bit off course, heading for Pluto. I will try and correct course.
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: Please do so.
XO_Arca says:
CO: At the least sir
CMO_OHurley says:
CTO: Well I'm not going to distract you anymore.  I'll be off.
XO_Arca says:
Turnbull: Are you accompanying us on this mission sir?
CMO_OHurley says:
ALL: Have a good shift and see you all for your physicals.
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: I will be down to sickbay when I have the first chance.  I want to get this physical out of the way.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
ACTION:  As Dunzel corrects the course, the computer overcorrects and the course is now set to pass through Saturn.
FCO_Dunzel says:
::Tries to adjust the ship's course::
CMO_OHurley says:
::smiles::
CMO_OHurley says:
::walks to TL and heads for Sickbay::
CTO_Mahl says:
::Smiles back at the new doctor::
FCO_Dunzel says:
Self: Engineers! Can't they ever fix anything right. ::Tries another course correction::
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: Having trouble, ensign?
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO/XO: If you have any other questions, I'll try to answer them.  Otherwise, I'll return to quarters and prepare to accompany Doctor Fen and Lt. Shirley to headquarters.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CTO: The computer seems to be overcompensating for corrections sir.
CMO_OHurley says:
::exits TL and heads for Sickbay::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
ACTION:  The computer overcompensates once more and the DJ is now on course for Sol.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt Turnbull: I appreciate the personal nature of your orders and that the fact that it was you and not someone else.  Oh and sir thank you for your kind words of congratulations. ::smiles::
XO_Arca says:
Turnbull: No questions sir
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: Do I need to get an engineer up here?
XO_Arca says:
<edit second sir>
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
::smiles:: CO: Of course, Captain, I'm sure you will find as I did that there is no greater joy than motherhood.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::smiles::
CMO_OHurley says:
Self: That Trill is kind a cute.
CMO_OHurley says:
::enters Sickbay::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt Turnbull: Thank you sir.  I hope that things will work out for all of us.
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: Ensign?  Status on our current course?
CMO_OHurley says:
Golan & Juzan:  Golan, Juzan, prepare to move on the Commander's orders.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO/XO: I have every confidence that they will ::turns and leaves the ready room::
CMO_OHurley says:
::the two officers nod::
FCO_Dunzel says:
CTO: I can't seem to make any corrections. The computer seems to have us locked on course sir.
CTO_Mahl says:
*CO/XO* Sirs, we have a situation here.  Please report to the bridge.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*CTO*: What is going on Mr. Mahl
CTO_Mahl says:
 *CO/XO* It would seem that the computer is locked, and it has us heading into the sun.  Please return to the bridge.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
ACTION:  Time Jump - - - Current time 30 minutes from Earth Station McKinley, 45 minutes from collision with Sol.
CMO_OHurley says:
*XO*: O'Hurley to Arca.
XO_Arca says:
*CMO*: Yes doctor
CMO_OHurley says:
*XO*: My team is ready sir.  All we need is the word.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::looks at the XO::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Computers locked?  How?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I hope you don't mind getting your hands dirty.
XO_Arca says:
*CMO*: Roger that doctor when dock move out and good work doctor
CTO_Mahl says:
::Going over tactical systems, scanning anything he can in the computer, trying to figure out why the navigational systems are locked, and why we are heading into the sun::
XO_Arca says:
CO: I'll be in engineering
CMO_OHurley says:
*XO*: Thank you sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Yes please do and get that computer unlocked.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
::working at the science station trying to unlock the computer systems::  CTO: Anything yet?
CTO_Mahl says:
Turnbull: Nothing.  All scans and diagnostics are coming back showing that the systems are working perfectly.  However, we know otherwise.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::walks onto the bridge and watches the commotion::
XO_Arca says:
::exits the RR and jumps into a TL:: TL: Engineering express
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: The XO is on his way to the engineering pit.
CTO_Mahl says:
Turnbull: what if we shut the computer down, allow it to reboot itself?
FCO_Dunzel says:
CTO: ETA to Sol if forty three minutes sir.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CTO: That could work, but do we still have time?
CTO_Mahl says:
Self: Well Joran, you did want to get a suntan....
XO_Arca says:
::jumps out of the TL and quickly enters engineering::
CMO_OHurley says:
::walks to Hathaway::
CMO_OHurley says:
Nurse: Hathaway, report?
CTO_Mahl says:
Turnbull: we should, but just barely.  We would need to do it right now!
XO_Arca says:
::press a few commands on the console and nothing what’s to work::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
::looks at the CO:: CTO: You'll want the Captain's authorization
CMO_OHurley says:
<Nurse> CMO: We've finished with the Science department.  We're now seeing crew from the Tactical/Security department.
CTO_Mahl says:
Turnbull: when we shut down the computer, wouldn't that bring navigations back to manual mode?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Try to manually shutdown the computer core and bring online the secondary computer core.  We can work on the primary core later.
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: Sir, we need to reboot the computer, now.  In my opinion, it’s our only chance to regain control of the ship.
CMO_OHurley says:
Hathaway: Excellent work.  I'll be in my office if you need me.
XO_Arca says:
*CO*: Trying to but it s not responding going have to physically power it down. I'm going to the core
CMO_OHurley says:
::walks to CMO Office::
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: Sir, if the secondary core is corrupted by the same problem, it would leave us in the same situation.
XO_Arca says:
::runs out of entering and heads to the turbo lift and starts to make his way to the core
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CTO: Either way, the primary is going to have to be shut down, if the secondary isn't corrupted, then there isn't the need to worry about the reboot time of the primary core.
CMO_OHurley says:
::walks over to desk and takes a seat::
CTO_Mahl says:
Turnbull: Well, we better do this fast, or we will be one giant marshmallow.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Input into the navi-comp the escape vector when the computer core is reinitialized.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Prepares for re-initialization::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Do you have thruster control?
XO_Arca says:
::climbs up a few decks and opens the access panel inside the core::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CTO: Be ready to switch over controls once the Exec makes the switch.
CTO_Mahl says:
::Prepares to make the switch:: Turnbull: Ready and awaiting the word.
CMO_OHurley says:
::grabs a photo of her family and holds it close to her heart::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt Turnbull: Maybe if we can alter the course of the DJ with the thrusters to push us out and away from our present course.
XO_Arca says:
::removes a panel from the wall and grabs the handle inside:: *CO*: I'm at the core shutting down the core
XO_Arca says:
::slams the handle down::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Hurry please I would like to see the baby.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: It's worth a try
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Lets do it.
CTO_Mahl says:
::pushes a few buttons, rerouting systems to the secondary computer core::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
ACTION: As Arca shuts down the primary core, the ship is plunged into total darkness...all systems offline.
CMO_OHurley says:
::looks up to see nothing::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: Come on, come on secondary systems should kick in....
CMO_OHurley says:
*CO*: Is everything ok up there?
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
ACTION: Seconds later, all returns to normal as the secondary unit comes online.  All systems operating normally...
FCO_Dunzel says:
::Enter the escape vector:: CO: Course entered sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Engage now!
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*CMO*: Everything is fine up here.
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: Secondary computer core engaged.  Tactical systems are answering to my commands.  Let's hope navigation does as well.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CO: Aye sir, engaging now. ::Engages the course::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
::stands on wobbly legs and walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Good thinking.
CMO_OHurley says:
*CO*: Thank you.
XO_Arca says:
*Bridge*: Report is systems working
XO_Arca says:
<?>
CTO_Mahl says:
Turnbull: thank you, Captain. 
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: Science systems are all online and working within acceptable parameters.
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: It's a good thing we aren’t taking the DJ to Vulcan, and a good thing we are for McKinley station.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Thanks things are returning to normal.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CO: The controls seem to be responding sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: That was too close.  I want a system check of all computer systems.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Good.
CMO_OHurley says:
::continues to hold family photo.  tears run down face::
XO_Arca says:
::breathes a shy of relieve and leans against the wall:: *CO*: Good to hear sir I'll get engineering to find out what happened while we are gone
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Make sure they stay that way.  If anything changes I want to know about it like yesterday.
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: McKinley Station has the best computer programmers in the quadrant, Sir.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CO: Aye sir.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CO: ETA to McKinley, seven minutes sir.
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: If anyone can figure out what went wrong, they can.
XO_Arca says:
::gets off the wall and starts to make his way back to the bridge::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Please do so. I want a full systems report.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: I am not to sure about that.  I think we need an entire computer systems check of our little ship.
CMO_OHurley says:
::brushes tears away and places photo back on desk::
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: Again, McKinley station has the best technicians as well.  It's our good fortune that we just happen to be headed their way.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: Good thing that the DJ will be in dry dock for a couple of weeks.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*CMO*: If you would like you could come by my quarters before we leave for the new ship.
XO_Arca says:
::enters a near by TL:: TL: Bridge
CTO_Mahl says:
FCO: pray that that doesn't happen on the Saber Tooth, ensign.  
CMO_OHurley says:
::looks up hearing the CO's voice:: *CO*: Yes, I'll be there in a moment.
FCO_Dunzel says:
CTO: I certainly will do that sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt. Turnbull: Yes it is good we are.  I was wondering when the DJ was going to go through her refit.  Now would be the appropriate time.
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
<OPS Ch`Ty> ::obtains docking information from McKinley and forwards it to flight:: CO: We're cleared for docking at our leisure.  FCO:  Orders are to kill thrusters once inside the airlock.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: At your leisure you can take us in.
CMO_OHurley says:
::rises from her chair and heads out of office::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: Agreed, although much of the refit was completed prior to the Danau mission.  The crews at McKinley should go over all of those refitted systems to make sure that they are as they should be.  Evidently something was off.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Prepare for docking maneuvers.
FCO_Dunzel says:
::Prepares for entry in the station::
CMO_OHurley says:
Nurse: Hathaway, I'm leaving again.  I'll be back later.
XO_Arca says:
::steps off of the TL and onto the bridge:: XO: Understood sir
CMO_OHurley says:
::Hathaway nods::
FCO_Dunzel says:
<into>
XO_Arca says:
FCO: Slow to 1/4 impulse
XO_Arca says:
CTO: Clear us for docking
CMO_OHurley says:
::enters TL::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Cpt. Turnbull: Obviously and I want to know what and where and by whom.  I won't stand for work that isn't up to specs.
CMO_OHurley says:
Computer: Bridge.
CTO_Mahl says:
::Receives clearance for docking:: CO: We have clearance, Sir.
FCO_Dunzel says:
::Enters the airlock and shuts down the thrusters::
CMO_OHurley says:
::exits TL and enters the Bridge::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
CO: I understand that completely.
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: welcome back, doctor.  I trust your ride wasn't too bumpy?
CMO_OHurley says:
::smiles:: CTO: Just a bit.
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: well, perhaps, when we have some spare time, we can grab a cup of coffee or something, to relax your nerves. ::smiles::
XO_Arca says:
ALL: Secure all stations and for the staff going to the Saber Tooth move out
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CMO: I asked you to come by my quarters after we docked.  ::smiles:: I didn't mean you to come all the way up here.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::motions for her to sit::
CMO_OHurley says:
CTO: I'd like that.
CTO_Mahl says:
::Secures tactical stations, and moves out::
CTO_Mahl says:
CMO: Good.  As soon as we have time, we can get together.
CMO_OHurley says:
CO: I decided to see what was going on up here.  I enjoy watching you all work.
CMO_OHurley says:
::blushes a bit::
Host Cpt_Tyria_Turnbull says:
ACTION:  As the thrusters are disengaged, McKinley takes over and draws the DJ into a berth.  Umbilicals and docking clamps are heard as they slip into place.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CMO: Well it is good to have you here.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Shut her down.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Get engineering shut down.
CMO_OHurley says:
::walks over to CO and grabs the pull out, then sits::
CTO_Mahl says:
CO: Tactical is secure, Sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::looks at the CMO and notices that she has been crying::
FCO_Dunzel says:
CO: Aye sir. :: Begins the power down procedure::
