The USS Don Johnson is still in orbit around Betazed awaiting further orders.

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

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::flies through the air from engineering level to crashing face first into engineering level one:: Self: Ow!

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::in her chair on the bridge::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks over at the EO::  EO:  Frank?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::groans on the floor:: CEO: Yeah?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  You know, we have lifts.  They are a lot easier on your bones.  ::smiles::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::groans again and slowly stands up stretching everything out making sure nothing is broken:: CEO: So they tell me... Seamus, when are we going to stop letting these Talarians into Starfleet?  Piss off one flight officer, you got the whole department on you.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@:: Having neatly evaded Donovin and her son, if one wanted to think of it that way since she had just left them involved in a holo program that would have them searching for her for awhile, she made her way back to the ship::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant MacLeod, Status report on your department please.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  I don't think Starfleet shares your opinion on Talarians.  Why don't you try to find some common ground with her.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::stretches hearing the CO's comm and hands the padd in his hand to the CEO:: CEO: You might be right.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain.  We are still assessing our condition.  I still can't find a cause for this latest glitch, other than to say, it’s a glitch.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Very well, carry on.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Arriving at the docking bay, she checks in with the duty officer.::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks to the EO::  EO:  We better get some answers, I won't be able to use that one on the Captain again.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::looks back at the CEO and walks over to a storage shelf:: CEO: Here's why. ::hands the CEO a ceiling panel:: CEO: How many threaded fasteners do you see on there?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks quickly::  EO:  Well, there should be six on this one...  Why aren't there six?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: The familiarity of a starship wraps around her as she makes her way to the nearest lift and steps in.::  CPU:  Bridge.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: I think you know the answer to that one. Which engineer do you know that has timelines as a priority over quality workmanship?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::scratches head::  EO:  Well...

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops she steps she pauses a moment before stepping onto the bridge.  It was still relatively quiet.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: I don't think this is a hard one, we rescued about all of his 'employees'.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::laughs a little::  EO:  You know, this is our fault, my fault.  I should have done a much more concise inspection.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks up as So`tsoh walks in:: CSO: Commander, how was your shore leave?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Considers for a moment a touch of humor briefly flashing in her eyes, her face stoic::  CO:  I believe they are fine.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: I mean... I agree, how could you, Chief Engineer of a starship have missed all three hundred forty two thousand (342,000) ceiling plates?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Did you enjoy yourself?

ACTION:  Operations reports picking up a distress call from the SS Cabola.  They've been attacked by pirates and the ship is disabled and drifting into an asteroid field..

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  You're right, I should have delegated you to that task. What was I thinking?  ::grins::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::puts his hands in the air:: CEO: Not to mention converting cargo bays to inhabitable quarters, not to mention flight operations stressing the engines, not to mention... Do I go on?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I believe that will depend on how long it will take my son and Lieutenant Arinoch to realize their quarry, myself, am no longer on the station.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Good point.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hearing the incoming comm, she steps down to take it.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::returns the grin:: CEO: Maybe... but I don't know about the last two on deck 15, I might've skipped those.  I think they're still intact.  Incidentally our Structural Integrity Field is now being supplemented to maintain magnetic locks on anything that's detected to have sub-standard threaded fasteners installed.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: turns slightly::  CO:  Captain, there appears to be an attack by pirates on the SS Cabola.  They are drifting in the asteroid field.  Verifying data.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Let me know when you've verified.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::takes the ceiling tile back and puts it on the shelf::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  We are going to have to go deck by deck, checking everything, and I mean everything.  We can't have another failure like this.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant MacLeod, we will need warp very soon.  We've got a distress call from a ship that was attacked by pirates and appears to be drifting into the asteroid field.  Are we ready to roll?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Agreed.  We've got most of the staff rotating out on liberty and shore leave. That warp core install was a mess.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::checks warp reactor status::  *CO*:  Aye Captain.  Recommend you keep us under warp five though, just in case something shakes loose.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  We're going to have to dial in the warp core on the fly Frank.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  The Cabola is a merchant vessel.  Original flight path verified, though they have drifted off course... not unexpected.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Recall your people from shore leave and let's get going.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Thank you. Are all your science personnel back on the ship?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain, recall underway.  Utilizing all available transporters.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: She does a quick calculation::  CO:  Eta from here is approximately 48 minutes.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs:: CEO: Alright boss, we can do that.  Should I recall our relieving duty shifts? ::hears the comm from the Captain:: CEO: Nuts.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::grins at the EO::  EO:  got to be faster than that.  

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  No captain, they have not all reported in.  I am sending the call now.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Is that at the recommended below warp five?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*Department Heads*: All department heads, recall your teams from shore leave, we have new orders.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  No, captain. That is at max, which leaves us twelve minutes to intercept the vessel before it dances with the asteroids.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: And a disabled ship is not going to dance very well.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::nods and heads over to the master system's display pulling up a chair:: *All Engineering Staff*: Now hear this, Now hear this.  All Engineering Department Personnel report back to duty station, this is not a drill. ::sets the message to repeat once::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
::  As she sends the call for the science department call, she also informs Donovin they are to return.  She lifts a brow at his rather colorful response to discovering she is on the ship.::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  No captain.  ::  Moves toward the science station only to pause.::  Captain, when will the CSO be returning?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: I don't know.  He's taking a sabbatical.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::calls up warp core algorithm and warp field stress analysis tables::  EO:  Let them know we are going to be mass beaming, then lock onto all com badges and begin transporting.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Simply nods her head and begins procedure for a red alert disembarkment.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sounding a little disenchanted by the idea:: CEO: Do we have to? ::types up the message and has the computer send it::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Sets sensors on LR, scanning the area of the pirates.::

ACTION:  The last of the crew are transported aboard.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::watches as the crew assumes duty stations on the bridge::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sees a lot of grimacing faces come into main engineering:: All: I know, I know! We have a job to do, get to it.

EO Reese says:
 ::walks into main engineering from transporter room 17, a little miffed::  Aloud:  All-right, who cancelled shore leave?!  ::looks squarely at the EO::  I just met this nice Betazed girl and we were started to really hit it off!

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Have you been able to find the exact location of the ship?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, all departments are reporting their staff is aboard.  I am working on the exact coordinates know as well as its condition.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Very good.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
EO_Reese: Come on man, it wasn't me, you should know that by now!

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, we're going to need maximum warp as soon as I get exact coordinates. So get what you need to get done, pronto.

EO Reese says:
EO:  I wouldn't put playing around with my love life past anyone.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Drop the hammer anytime Captain, we'll be ready.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks to Garlingus and Reese::  EO/Reese:  Guys... Let’s be ready.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Excellent, Lieutenant, I knew I could count on you.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Garlingus and Reese:  Hear that, she's counting on us...  Let’s make it happen.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As she acquires them, she forwards the coordinates to flight.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs and goes back to the screens:: CEO: Aye boss.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Long range sensors show their engines are disabled.  Shields down.  Life support and communications are about all they have working.  No signs of pirates in the area.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I am also reading a hull breach in the cargo bay.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Then we have no time to lose.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::brings up the propulsion systems:: CEO: Hey boss, why don't why don't we coordinate this effort?  I'll head up to the helm and we'll dial up the reactor *properly*.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
aFCO Jones: Mr. Jones, as soon as you get the coordinates, disembark and head to them at maximum warp.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: simply shakes her head as no words are needed for their race against time.::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::checks that all warp reactor and drive systems are at flight tolerance.::  EO:  Are you even qualified in flight ops?

aFCO Jones says:
Coordinates acquired, Captain, disembarking and then engaging maximum warp.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: I mean... Point the ship, plot a course, nothing to it... ::looks back at his screens and chuckles:: CEO: Warp core coming online, power output... nominal.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nod to the EO::  EO: Do it.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::checks engine efficiency one last time:: *Bridge*: Hello Bridge, this is Main Engineering, we read green across the board and are ready for warp when you are.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I am reading twelve life signs; their original manifest read 16.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*EO*: We'll be engaging maximum warp shortly.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Informs medical of the situation aboard the freighter.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Not good.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Better then zero.  Picking up the ion trail of the pirates.  It leads into the asteroid field.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*CO*: Aye Captain. ::looks back at the CEO over his shoulder:: CEO: Max huh? Couldn't go like, warp 2 for a while, maybe warp 3... you know, break in this mighty fine bomb we have about 25 feet from our heads?

aFCO Jones says:
CO: We've cleared the system, engaging maximum warp.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Yeah, but if it does go boom, we'll never know it.  Find solace in that

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
aFCO: Thank you.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Yeah yeah yeah... What if it just sputters? ::sees the warp propulsion request from the bridge and answers the ahead full bell:: All: All ahead full! ::watches the warp core glow slightly brighter and faster::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Garlingus and Reese:  All right, here we go.  Let’s keep this thing in balance.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Figures they'd go into the asteroid field.  .

ACTION: The warp core dims briefly, then kicks back in full.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  It adds an element of danger for us.... if they know the field well.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::raises an eyebrow and watches the power output to the nacelles:: CEO: She's a little shaky, but we're throttling her up slowly.  Warp field is ... ::checks:: CEO: Stable.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Yes it does.  We'll have to keep on our guard.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::notices a brief fluctuation in the warp core::  Warp Core:  There's a good lass.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Time before entrance, fifty four minutes.  Shall I try to contact them?  I am reading their comms being up.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Yes please do.  Tell them help is on the way.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and turns around.::  COMM:  SS Cabola, this is the USS Don Johnson heading your way to give assistance.  Can you give us any further details concerning your situation and the pirates?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Approaching maximum warp, sir.  Warp field stable, SIF... stable, IDF... stable.  Seems like we're holding together for now.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods to the EO and continues to watch monitor boards closely::
