<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Self: Gah! I can't believe the decks haven't buckled yet! ::taps furiously at the master systems display::

CMO_Lt_Hogan says:
::is in sickbay getting things organized::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::On the bridge waiting for updates::

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: checks sensors watching the ship ahead of them::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::walks into main engineering, after having to weave past evacuees in the corridor::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::On her way to speak with D'nang, reads an incoming message on her padd::*CO* : Captain, I've got an update on the three teens

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO*: Go ahead, Commander.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::spots the CEO enter main engineering and grabs a padd downloading environmental and structural reports:: CEO: Hey boss.  ::hands the padd to the CEO:: CEO: I don't want to do this again anytime soon.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*CO*: They've been found and are being returned home

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO*: Well that's good, at least.  Have you spoken with D'nang yet?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::takes the PADD::  EO:  Really, but you do it so well.  ::grins::

TO Sven says:
::stands guard in the brig::

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::adjusts speed and course slightly::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*CO* : It is good news and I'm just now getting to the brig.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::coughs laughing:: CEO: You know that half our carpets aren't going to sustain all this traction and the internal ship self-cleaning systems are so far overwhelmed they've damn near given up trying.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO*: Very good, Keep me informed.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*CO* : Aye, Ma'am.  Fowler out ::enters the brig::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::sits back in her chair::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  I know, but look at it this way.  When we reach Betazed, we should be able to off load most if not all of the evacuees, that'll take the strain off.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Sven: Lieutenant.  ::gives a slight nod::

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::taps the console and ac/dc begins to play in the shuttle:: Self: Ah now that’s more like it

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: True.  ::sighs:: CEO: I gotta get back to the bridge, Tannenbaum relieved me so I could come down here for a bit and get this report ready for you.  Need anything while I'm up there?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant MacLeod, how's the ship holding up under the stress?

ACTION:  Environmental systems hit critical in the cargo area and begin to fail.  Operations and engineering begin receiving numerous complaints.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Nope, can't think of a thing.

TO Sven says:
TO: Ma'am.  ::moves a half step to the side::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::moves to the cell with D'nang.  Watches::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gets handed a padd by a passing EO on her way out with a kit:: CEO: Damn... Looks like Tannenbaum will have to hold the fort up there for longer than expected.  ::looks back to the master systems display and dials in level 5 diagnostics::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
D'nang: Hope the accommodations are to your liking

Host D’nang says:
::lying on the bench, waiting for news::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Yup.  Problems a plenty.  Environmental support systems are overloaded.  Let’s see if operations can move some of those people to other areas of the ship.  We might have to get some to double up with our own crew in their quarters.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs and sends a high priority request to the on duty operations officer:: CEO: I'll just be happy with our regular crew compliment again.  I'll never complain about chow lines again, I swear.

ACTION:  The shuttle's sensors pick up the ship that they are pursuing.

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::slides his finger over the panel and cranks up the volume on dirty deeds::

Host D’nang says:
::stares at the ceiling:: COO: At least it isn't the dorm...not nearly as boring.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Captain!  Sorry!  A little busy down here.  Our environmental support systems are having trouble keeping up with demand.  Seems localize to where the bulk of the evacuees are staged.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Can you compensate?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Snags a chair with her foot and slides it over, slides it so the back is facing the cell, straddles is as she sits, resting her arms on the back of the chair:: D'nang: I expect it to change soon

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  I'd like permission to move some of them out and spread them throughout the ship.  Maybe into crew quarters.  That should minimize the strain for the time being.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Permission granted.  Start with enlisted quarters.

ACTION:  Incoming message from Betazed, preparations have been made for the evacuees, approach vector and transport coordinates to follow.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: I better head up there, You got this right?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::softly to...:  EO:  I should put them in the senior officer quarters, they're the biggest, eh.  Yeah, I got it, go.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CTO*:  Engineering to security.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::laughs out loud as he walks out of main engineering into a nearby turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

aOPS says:
CO: Captain, we've received a message from Betazed.   They have made preparations for the evacuees.  Approach vectors and Transport coordinates to follow.

TO Norris says:
CO: Ma'am, security and tactical quarters are free.  We're all hot-bunking in the armory

Host D’nang says:
CTO: Yeah, I'm sure you'll get tired of me and kick me out.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Very good, Norris.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
D'nang: Possible, not likely, but possible

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, I've been informed that security and tactical quarters are free, if you'd like to start there instead.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
D'nang: You know I have a feeling that you know more than you've told us so far

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps out onto the bridge nodding toward the CO:: CO: Captain. ::heads to the helm making sure the FCO is not pushing the warp core past engineering operating parameters then heading over to the engineering console relieving Tannenbaum::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  That's a start Captain, security could even put some in our brig area as well. In the interest of maximizing our space.

Host D’nang says:
CTO: Feelings are strange sometimes.

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::opens the COM and sends an encrypted message to the DJ updating them on the chase::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Lieutenant, what brings you to the bridge?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: As long as you keep the forcefields down.  They're not prisoners.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Of course Captain.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: There's power in numbers and in presence I feel Captain. ::takes his seat and brings up his customized displays::  CO: There's nothing like an Engineer at your side to consult, as well as the bridge minding their treatment of our gear while I'm here. ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
D'nang: I've learned to trust my gut feelings.  ::leans forward slightly::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: I guess you're right. ::smiles::

ACTION:  Several evacuees collapse from heat exhaustion in the cargo bay.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
D'nang: And right now mine says that you are guilty

EO Ebanez says:
 ::approaches the CEO::  CEO:  Chief.  Atmospheric processors are loosing ground.  Efficiency is down to 69 percent and steadily falling off.  CO2 levels 8 percent above normal and rising.  

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::swings his feet around and looks at the control panel:: Self: right enough of this nonsense time to land that fish

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::eyeballs the helm officer:: aFCO: Yeah I'm talking about you.  ::sees yellow and red warning indicators all over his panels:: Self: Darn.  ::ports over some operations functions with the approval of the aOPS and begins shunting computer processing time into key environmental systems::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Ebanez:  All-right, bring the secondary processors online, and ramp them up to maximum as well.

TO Baker says:
*Sickbay* We've got people here collapsing

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::sends a quick burst transmission to the Ambassadors ship containing a syndicate code word::

CMO_Lt_Hogan says:
::taps her combadge:: *TO*: Can you beam them directly here? I've got lots of beds ready

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::turns to Hicks::  EO_Hicks:  Hicks, we're going to need more power, bring your stand-by reactor online.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::Notes that they've received an encrypted message from the runabout and that they're making progress.::

EO Hicks says:
CEO:  Aye aye, sir.  ::works controls::

ACTION:  The Ambassador's ship comes to all stop before returning the McQueen's message with the matching code.

TO Baker says:
*Sickbay* : Can do Doctor.  ::listens to Ensign Larroe a moment:: It seems like it’s from the heat

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::sees the message come in and responds with the counter code::

TO Baker says:
TO_Larroe: Have the team tag those needing to go to sickbay

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@Self: come and get me my old friend

TO Baker says:
*CMO* : They'll be there shortly

ACTION:  The Ambassador's ship signals response and alters course.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs and wonders if the ship is even capable of maintaining this velocity:: CO: Captain, we might need to slow down some to reroute additional power to our auxiliary systems.  Alternatively, we could speed up, and get there faster thus alleviating the strain.

TO Baker says:
 ::Watches the others and joins them in tagging those for sickbay::

CMO_Lt_Hogan says:
::stands by a sickbed and waits for her patients::

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::sees the course change and quickly sends a message to the DJ priority 1. "better come and get me"::

Ebanez says:
 ::activates back-up atmospheric processors, taps comm badge::  *CMO*:  Lieutenant Ebanez to Lieutenant Hogan, just wanted to advise you ma'am.  You are going to get an off normal CO2 warning.  But we are taking steps to compensate for it.

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::powers down and waits::

CMO_Lt_Hogan says:
*Ebanez*:Acknowledged...

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: We can slow down some.  I'd hate to speed up and have things fry

ACTION:  The off normal CO2 warning sounds as the CEO predicted.

TO Baker says:
*Transporter Room 1* Lock onto these signals and transport directly to sickbay ::the security teams notify the transporter room::

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::turns the music off and quickly changes into his "other" clothes::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Watches D'nang:: D'nang: You know you want to talk, so just go ahead

EO Ebanez says:
CEO:  Secondary at-mo processors online...  CO2 levels still climbing...  12 percent now.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Ebanez:  Give it a few minutes.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::notes the CO2 warning indicators and the Chief Engineer's note in the system:: Self: Nice one Mac.  ::redirects his efforts to distribute load across multiple relays activating backups and turning them into auxiliary relays::  CO: Yes ma'am.  Helm: Take us down to warp 4.  ::notices an unexpected alert::

CMO_Lt_Hogan says:
::watches her patient dematerialize and scans them right away:: Computer: Computer! Lower sickbay temperature to 15 degrees Celsius

aFCO says:
CO: Warp 4, aye.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: Skipper... ::pulls up the communications array palette:: aOPS: Sorry Ensign, grabbed your comms controls as well by accident.  CO: We have an incoming message from Commander McQueen.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances at her padd, gives a small smile and nods to herself, then looks back up::  D'nang: I did some quick checks on you.  Makes for interesting reading

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: What does it say?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::stands from his terminal in panic:: CO: Captain, it's a priority one message. ::puts the words "better come and get me" on screen::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: That's a lovely message.

ACTION:  ETA to the Ambassador's ship 45 minutes

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CIV*: Commander McQueen, what is your status?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: Captain, I can't stress enough how we're in no condition to pursue a runabout with only a few passengers.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: I understand that.  I don't know why he's sending encrypted messages rather than just communicating normally.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::checks to see if the subspace array was given enough power to transmit::

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@*CO*: Skipper I’ve lured them back. I’ll delay them as long as I can until you get here. You may need to come in guns blazing. I’ll attempt to take the ambassador alive if I can. It’s all up to you now skipper

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CIV*:  You do understand that we have civilians aboard this vessel, do you not, Commander?  I can't risk injury to them.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::deactivates all the engineering displays and pulls up cartography analysis on the origin of the message, distance to and from the expected location of the runabout and sits back down in his chair:: *CEO*: That engine power I recovered to give us a little help?  Looks like I might need to take that back boss.

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@*CO*: Understood skipper. But I’m afraid this takes priority. I’ll do my best to render them harmless.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::access engine power distribution::  *EO*:  Acknowledged, take what you need.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks to EO Hicks, and nods::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CIV*: All right, Commander, you've made your point.

EO Hicks says:
 ::nods and turns to work controls as::  CEO:  Brings all stand-by reactors to power.

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@*CO*: Good hunting skipper. McQueen out

ACTION:  The reduced temperature in sickbay has a positive effect on the heat exhaustion victims and they begin to show signs of a quick recovery.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Well, looks like we're going to have to go into a firefight with civilians on board.  Wonder why Lemmick didn't stop him.

EO Ebanez says:
 ::monitoring::  CEO:  Sir.  CO2 levels are leveling off.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Ebanez:  Let’s just hope the secondary processors hold up.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grimaces:: CO: Captain, I haven't run the numbers, but I doubt we're going to be very effective in combat.  Why not send out a shuttle compliment that's following us?

CMO_Lt_Hogan says:
Nurse: That's a little better. Check and see if they need some water. They're showing signs of dehydration too

Nurse says:
CMO: Yes, Doctor

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: That's a good idea.  Make sure they are combat certified pilots.

TO Baker says:
::Watches how the evacuees seem to be getting better with the cooler temps, smiles slightly:: Self: A crisis averted

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::slips a tricorder into his belt::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::finds the temperature in the engine room to be a little warmer than he's like::

ACTION:  Teams from Engineering, Tactical and Operations find temporary quarters for many from the cargo bay to reduce the strain on the cargo bay's systems.

Civ_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::pulls a cigar out and lights it up and waits::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: Yes ma'am. ::taps his comm badge:: *All Hands* Combat Battalions One and Two report to the transporter room for emergency scramble. Helm: All Stop. COM: All Shuttles Following the Don Johnson: Come to an all stop, prepare to be boarded and have all civilians return to the ship.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::monitors status reports coming in from team leaders as the shuttles acknowledge as well::

CMO_Lt_Hogan says:
:heads to the replicator and helps with getting glasses of water for the evacuees

Host D’nang says:
::finally decides that not answering Fowler is not going to affect her:: CTO: So what?  You think your fishing expedition is going to scare me?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::smiles at the way Garlingus took command of the situation.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
D'nang: Oh, I wouldn't call it 'fishing'.  Not if it is true that is

ACTION:  The Ambassador's ship scans and monitors the runabout as they approach it.

Host D’nang says:
::chuckles:: CTO: True?  whatever

Host D’nang says:
CTO: I'm not worried

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::Looks over the ship's energy allocation tables::  EO_Reese:  Mister Reese.  I want to conserve a little bit of power here.  Lets take all non-essential systems down, and reduce ambient and task lighting levels by ten percent.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sees the transporters draw power as they transport civilians aboard and the fighter pilots transfer to the not-so-fighter type shuttles and go through their system prep:: CO: Captain, the shuttles offload/onload is proceeding, they should be green across the board momentarily.  I've heard the CTO talk about their drills taking a matter of minutes in similar scenarios.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Aye sir.  ::gets to work on it::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Smiles:: D'nang: Good!  And here I was worried that you might not cooperate

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: That's something. Very good.  I'll have to give Commander Fowler congratulations on that.

Host D’nang says:
CTO: Whatever you say.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: Do you want me to put the ship at yellow alert Captain? ::prepares and transmits ROEs and mission profiles to all shuttles as they begin to enter formation around the Don Johnson::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Go ahead, Lieutenant.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Grins:: D'nang: Oh I do believe we'll have fun with you ::leans to her side:: TO_Sven: Do you remember how long it took with that last prisoner?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::activates the yellow alert klaxon to sound three times:: CO: At warp 6 we should reach the runabout in about 3 hours Captain, once we set course and get underway.

TO Sven says:
CTO: I think it took about an hour or so.  ::turns to look at D'nang:: But this one doesn't look at tough as her.  You might break your record

Host D’nang says:
CTO: Do your worst

Host D’nang says:
CTO: I don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Nods:: TO_Sven: You may be right.  But maybe I'll play with this one first.  It might make it more 'interesting ::still talking to Sven and ignoring D'nang::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Very well, do it.

Shuttle  4 says:
COM: Don Johnson: Orders received, standing by for departure.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::hears the yellow alert klaxon sound and immediately over-rides the power allocation system to maintain its current settings before it switches to its default setting for condition yellow alert::

Host D’nang says:
::lays his head back onto the bench, staring up at the ceiling again...deciding that boring might just be where this is going::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: Do you think Commander McQueen has 3 hours ma'am? ::calculates the intercept course to the runabout by the Ambassador's shuttle.  COMM: Shuttle Squadron: Green light, Maximum Warp, we're right behind you.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::nods to Sven::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: I think Commander McQueen can take care of himself until we get there. ::smiles::

aFCO Booble says:
::sets an intercept course for the runabout and engages the engines at warp 7:: EO: Hang on to your hair you knuckle dragger!

To Sven says:
::Reaches out and adjusts the climate controls, raising the cell temp 30 degrees::

Host D’nang says:
