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

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
:In his quarters getting ready for his duty shift, his bridge console being manned by Mahaffey::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Seeing that her son is settled, she makes her way to the bridge.::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::assumes his post on the bridge, logs into the helm interface and quickly runs a complete systems check::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::Combs his hair, and looks at himself in the mirror::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::on the bridge going over the security systems::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Stepping into the nearby lift, she orders it to the bridge.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::floating around in an EVA suit just outside the ship::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, she pauses that briefest of moments, quickly identifying who was there and where before stepping off.::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::testing the targeting systems::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::comes to slowly::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods a greeting to a few crew as she passes them::  CTO: Lieutenant Ki, I need to speak with you.  :: continues on into the ready room.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
@ Self: Ugh...my head. What the... ::looks around:: How did I get here?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::Looks at himself in the mirror again, shrugs and leaves for the bridge::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Ummm... sure... its just that there appears to be someone floating around outside the ship

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::looks down and notices a site to site beacon pinned to him, reaches over and activates it.::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::acknowledges a small navigation update from Starfleet Command, lets it install into the nav computer::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Pauses and turns around::  CTO:  I believe it is our chief engineer.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  I see.  ::isn't sure if this is a normal thing around here::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look at Tobias wondering if there was something about this ship and engineers.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::beams into his quarters and looks at the time:: Self Damn it! ::starts to change out of the EVA suit into his uniform and grabs a quick shave::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns back to head into the ready room.::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::follows the CO::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: stops before the empty desk... empty as much as the room is.  She places a padd on it and turns to look at Ki.::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::arrives on the bridge and tells Mahaffey to get lost, and have one on him. Secures the station and takes a quick look at the reports detailing the arrival of supplies and personnel, both coming and going::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::runs out of his quarters and runs to Main Engineering::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks back at the CO expectantly::

Ens_Spont says:
@COMM: USS Don Johnson: Don Johnson this is Starbase Operations, we are showing green across the board for your departure.  Signal when ready.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: She makes a slight motion toward the padd that held information from D`Sorot::  CTO:  We all have secrets.  Those we want kept and those we must keep.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
COMM: Station Operations: Will do.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::taken aback, but recovers quickly::  CO: What does it say?  ::makes a motion to pick up the padd but hesitates::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::places all propulsion/navigation relays into station keeping::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Does not stop him::  CTO:  It is actually rather... vague.  But apparently the admiral is good at picking up... unusual behavior.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::picks up the padd and looks it over::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::slows down coming into Main Engineering:: Engineer: I'll make it up to you. ::reliefs senior officer::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns and walks around the desk toward the back::  CTO:  We all come with history.  I will not pry as long as it does not endanger the ship or her crew.  Should you come to feel you can trust me, I would be interested in hearing your story.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::frowns::  CO:  I don't know what you mean.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Simply nods her head slightly::  CTO: There is another issue of concern that I need to bring to your notice.  It is one of my secrets that is buried under Vulcan Red tape with a codex that the CTO of any ship I am aboard knows about.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: We should be ready to depart on the captains order, I'm showing we're ready, you?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  And that would be....?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: I am good to go.  ::smiles::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Kii, my son, is not my child by birth, as all records say he is.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Kii is the result of... Romulan experimentation.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: And yes, I sent that case of Romulan Ale you wanted me to sneak in to your quarters.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wonders if the kid has two heads or something::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::goes over subspaces messages and starts noticing some weird ones from last night::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  How is that a security concern?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::looks confused at the OPS, then smiles again::  OPS: Hope its a good vintage

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  The Romulans were trying to integrate Vulcan DNA into theirs.  The project was learned of and children were rescued.  That is basically all you need to know about that.  The concern lies in the Romulan male... donor.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: It's in a unmarked case.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  The man holds great power and to our knowledge, has no idea that child survived.  My concern lies in the fact we will be dealing with Romulans.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: You know, you can't drink that stuff if its too, too, fresh; right?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::closes his terminal after reading some of the more later ones and heads to the bridge::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: The manifest that no longer exists says it was over thirty earth years old.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Do you think our mission might be a ruse... a means for the father to take custody?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  Should be fine then.  ::grins::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Takes a moment to consider.::  CTO:  The admiral gave no indication of this being anything other then a group of outliers.  As for Kii, I will see that he remains quietly out of sight.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Do you have established security protocols for him?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::goes over to an Engineer::  Engineer: Run a level two diagnostic benchmark and all systems and get me a report on the results. We need to get these upgrades fine tuned.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::heads over to a TL::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Yes.  And you should know, my son is very strong and well trained in both defense as well as offensive moves.

Ens_Spont says:
@COMM: USS Don Johnson: This is Starbase Operations.  Admiral D`Sorot wants to know what's keeping you from getting underway, we show all your crew is aboard.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  That's good to know.  Will I have access to the security plan?

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Of course.  You will find it also on the padd.  :: Is quiet for a moment.::  CTO:  I am trusting you with a great secret.  :: moves to head back to the bridge.::  I believe we should be heading out soon.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
COMM: Station Operations: I believe the captain is doing her hair right now. We'll be under way soon. Donovan out. ::cuts the comm, kind of annoyed::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO: After you.

Ens_Spont says:
@::looks puzzled and forwards the information to the Admiral::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the doors slide open she catches the tail end of Donovan's comment.::  OPS:  Problem?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::moves to his station::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: The station is wondering why we're still here.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: I'd say we'd best get underway ::hides the ulterior motive to leaving now::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Then we are good to go...

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: Yes ::nods::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::places the padd on his station panel, and logs on::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: There is a slight question in her voice as she turns toward Tobias and simply gives him a nod.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::arrives on Bridge:: CO: Good morning Captain. ::nods::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::checks the navigation pre-sets, confirming course and destination:: Helm is ready, Captain.  

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Next time you desire to do a space walk, please let me know.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Take us out.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::engages maneuvering thrusters::  CO: Thrusters, aye.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looking over the security protocols on the padd::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Stands beside her chair to watch the screen.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::clears throat:: CO: Aye, ma'am.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::monitors proximity sensors::  CO: WE are clear of the station, and free to navigate.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::commits it to memory::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  ETA?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: May I have a moment?

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods her head as she waits for Tobias::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wipes the padd's memory::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
CO: At warp 7, we could be there in 36 hours::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::walks up to the CO:: CO: May we go to your ready room?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::tries to get back in sync with the rest of the bridge crew::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO: Thank you.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::getting kind of impatient. Ready to leave::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
CO: Shall I take us to warp, sir?

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Yes.  And you have the bridge.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: head for the ready room.::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::updates the helm for warp travel, sets speed and engages warp::

ACTION: The USS Don Johnson makes the jump to warp with no issue, much to the surprise of everyone aboard... Additional telemetry and data about their mission suddenly becomes available to all stations sourced from the Starbase immediately after the ship engaged its warp engines.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::walks with the CO to the ready room::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
all on bridge:: It feels good to get away....:: voice trails off as he notices the console display::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::reads up on the mission::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Makes her way to stand before the desk and waits.::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::looks at telemetry data streaming across his monitors::  Self: what is this?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::enters the ready room and the door hisses closed behind them:: CO: Ma'am, does Ki know? This seems like an oddity to send us in, given the history with the Romulans.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::reads and comes to :believe they are going to war::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Please, clarify.  Does Ki know what?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CTO: Hey Ki. Are you reading this? Looks to be fun ::gleeful grin::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::sighs::  OPS: If your idea of "fun" is courting death.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: About your secret?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::continues looking over the information::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  If you are referring to my son, yes.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CTO: I was thinking of a more covert mission. One where you, I and Quinn raid the distillery on the installation. It's a little known fact that Romulans are heavy drinkers. Never know what we'll run across.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::trying not to laugh out loud, makes a snorting noise::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Would you like I assist on my off-duty time with security. I think since the information is limited to us three on the ship, it would help us out in case this is a rouse.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
All: Ever notice that there is never a captain on the bridge? Now we even have one, and she's gone away too!

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  At the moment you have your hands full.  I also have full faith in my son as well as our CTO.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Aye. I say we return.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks to the ready room door::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Makes her way back to the bridge.  She was uncomfortable in the ready room.  There was something about it.::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Makes her way toward the center chair and looks at it a moment.  Along the arm are lights flashing for her attention.::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::continues to look over the telemetry data::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::looks over the data that unlocked::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As she taps in her command code, she lifts a brow at the detailed information waiting for her.::

Ens_Spont says:
@COMM: USS Don Johnson: This is Ensign Spont, we are reading static on your subspace carrier waves acknowledging receipt of our messages.  Is the data you are receiving complete?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CTO: What do you make of this data? I got data regarding the architectural layout designs some structures.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks toward Donovan::  OPS: Did all stations receive information?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
COMM: Station Operation: It looks to be, I will check to make sure.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::hears COMM and decides to do a data integrity check::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: Checking now. ::taps a few buttons:: Looks like everyone received what they were supposed to, as to if they've read it over or not, you'd have to ask them. I read over what I was given, and I'm sure the rest of the bridge crew has as well.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Whose end is the static?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: It's theirs as far as I can tell.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: They've been sent the receipts

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CEO:  Yes..  I also have information, most of which I'm not sure what to do with.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods::  OPS:  I am uncomfortable with that.  I would like to know what happened on their end.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: We can go back....

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::starts to study the plans::

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Only if you feel it is necessary.  :: Turns to face her crew::  All:  You have your orders.  We will arrive near our destination in three days.  I want all the information we can learned.  And I want it distributed.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::getting a headache::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::gets an alert on his console::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: No need to turn back. All of the information we received was complete. It was some kind of problem with their communications array. We sent the receipts.

CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: turns around with a nod and finally takes her seat to read through what she was sent.::
