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

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::on the Bridge in The Big Chair(tm), waiting for the end of his shift::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::in the lounge at the bar reading PADDS and drinking synthehol::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::at his post overlooking sensor readings from the area.::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: In one of the recreation rooms, fencing with her son.::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::putting a few things away prior to the end of his shift in medical::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks over at the CSO:: CSO: Anything unusual on sensors?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::finishing up yet another report to the XO and wondering about the man's fondness for paperwork::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As long as she did not go beyond what would be considered natural speed, Sha stayed up with her.  So she added a few 'mistakes'::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::in the office uploading reports to LCARS::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
XO: It's eerily quiet out there, sir. 

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As her son stopped in confusion at such basic areas, she stepped in and basically took his rapier away as it went flying into the corner.  She then stepped back and waited.::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CSO: I'm quite alright with quiet today, Ensign.  Gives me time to get to know the crew before we get to the border.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::submits his report, and begins to power down some of the non-essential equipment that gets turned off at night::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::steps up and heads to the lounge::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::submits his report::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
XO: This feels like a malicious quiet to me, if you know what I mean. I can't really explain it... I just have a bad feeling.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks over at the chronometer:: CSO: Well, I'm going to head to the lounge, seeing as it's the end of our shift.  Would you care to join me, or would you like the hot seat for a little while?::stands, then notices a new report from the CTO on his PADD and sighs::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<Sha>  :: not sure whether to be annoyed, angry, frustrated or what, he stood there starring at his mother.  As she stood there silently, he finally took a breath and shook his head.::  CO:  Who is the sword player, the best one fears the most.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::yawns deeply and thinks to himself how much he is looking forward to getting a good night sleep tonight::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: With a lifted brow and a nod, she motioned for him to go get his rapier.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::visibly relaxes::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::swivels around on his seat and looks over the lounge::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Grabbing a towel, the pair of them peel off the protective outer layers and clean up a bit.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::gets off on Deck 7::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::briefly skims the report, while waiting for the Ensign's reply::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::closes his eyes and ~~~listens~~~~::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::after the doing a thorough turnover with the next shift like always, then heads out of medical for his quarters::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::enters the lounge::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::smiles beatifically as he slowly opens his eyes::;

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: The pair of them are soon in their quarters, each heading for their shower.::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
XO: I'll join you, sir. ::Goes to follow the XO.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::smile fades quickly::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::smiles:: CSO: Very well then. ::turns to FCO_Taylor:: Taylor: You have the bridge.  Have a good evening.  ::heads to the turbolift with Ensign Kastellan:: TL: Deck Seven, Ship's Lounge.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::watches the CEO::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::upon arrival at his quarters, sees the message alert on the laptop from subspace, but ignores it, and crawls into bed:: Computer: Dim lights ::lights dim::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::grabs a seat and orders a drink from his private bottle collection of real Earth based spirits::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the chimes hit the hour, the FCO arrives on the bridge to take over his shift.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::narrows his eyes::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
< Sha>  :: coming out of the sonic shower, he quickly dresses and heads out to make dinner.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::sips his drink::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::Steps into the turbo lift with the XO.::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CSO: So how's life on the Don Johnson so far, Ensign?  How's your department? ::waits as the turbolift whirs its way down to the Lounge::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::Steps into the turbo lift with the XO.::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::fades off into pleasant dreams for the night::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
*CNS*: Ensign...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::loosens the collar of his uniform::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: coming out of her quarters in a simple outfit, she lifts a brow as she makes her way to the kitchen.::  Sha: Native?

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
XO: Very well, sir. I would say things are going very well in the Science department. The new botanist we picked up at the starbase brought some fascinating plant specimens on board that I can't wait to take a peek at.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<Sha> CO:  You mentioned the counselor might come for dinner.  I thought I would practice one of your traditional earth foods for him.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Raising an eyebrow.::  Sha:  Why?

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::smiles:: CSO: Glad to hear it.  Any concerns about anything at all? The ship, this mission, anything?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<Sha> :: shrugging::  CO:  He wanted to talk with me.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: not getting the connection she let it go.::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::pauses as the turbolift stops on Deck Seven::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::sipping his drink and watching the CEO::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
Self: Guess he is not in...

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::receives his aged bottle of scotch and a glass with a whiskey ice rock in a glass::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
Server: Thank you.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
XO: No concerns to mention other than how eerily quiet it is out there. No unusual changes in the EM spectrum. Nothing to indicate anything that could threaten the ship nearby. Usually there's at least something I keep my eye on. Even if it's not something I expect to be a problem.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
<Server> CEO: You're welcome Commander.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::Waits for the XO to exit the lift first.::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::walks off the lift:: CSO: Well, glad to hear it then. ::stops, extending a hand:: CSO: I look forward to working with you and your Department.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
~~~~::listens::~~~~

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::pours his bottle::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Taking down the twin native flute, she makes herself comfortable on the couch, realizing there were some advantages of having an XO.::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
XO: As I do, sir. ::Shakes his hand.:: XO: I'll do my best to make sure you only get boring reports from my department, if you know what I mean.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::works on his PADD reading over some information from a recent secure subspace transmission::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::takes another PADD and write up a request on it::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Quietly plays an ancient melody.::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CSO:  I look forward to reading them, then. ::walks through the doors to the lounge as they open, taking a look about to see who's there::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::feels the CSO nearby::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CSO: If they're boring, I mean. ::grins as he walks up to the bar, ordering a whiskey on the rocks::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::turns to see the XO and CSO come in::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::gets up and walks over to Tamaste:: CTO: Commander, may I a moment?

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::Smiles and follows the XO to the bar.::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the pair comes through the door, one of the CSO's newest science members goes running out the door as if the demons were after him.  He is quickly down the hall and into the lift before the others can catch their breath.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::Takes a breath to speak and lifts his fingers, but thinks better of it.:: XO: Something boring, I'm sure, sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CEO:  I'm off duty. What do you want??  ::watches the scientist running for cover::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks down the hallway and calls after the crewman:: Crewman: Slow down, Crewman!

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The ship goes to red alert.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::Sighs.:: XO: I guess that's what I get for tempting fate.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
CTO: I am too, but I am taking advantage by balancing work and play. Here is a copy of a request I have submitted to you and ::sees the XO:: and to Commander Roberts.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: stops and contacts the bridge.::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::turns to eye the CSO as he receives his drink:, then hears the Red Alert klaxon:: CSO: You know how it is, Ensign.  99% boring, 1% sheer terror. ::Taps his commbadge:: *Bridge*: XO to Bridge. Report!

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::waves over Commander Roberts:: XO: Commander...

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The ship drops to yellow alert.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CEO:  No thanks.  I best go see what's going on.  ::gets up::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::hears the red alert klaxon:: Self: Damn it, there goes the neighborhood.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: after a moment, she closes the channel and sits back to continue playing, Tobias had things in hand.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::leaves the lounge at a brisk trot::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: What's going on sir?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::enters a turbolift::  TL:  Bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CEO: I have a strange feeling the Bridge is trying to play games with their new XO.  But you never know.  Computer: Report the cause of the ship going to Red and Yellow Alert.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
<EO Sterling> *CEO*: Sir we have an issue coming from a science lab.

Host NightWind says:
Computer:  Emergency situation in main science lab.  It is currently contained.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::hears the computers response::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Well that just matches what my assistant chief just reported to me.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::arrives on the bridge::  TO: What's going on?

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
Self: If this was that same crewman... ::Begins to leave the area to head for the science lab in question.::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods:: CEO: Anyways, I'm sure it's well in hand.  I've got to trust the crew to handle things like this.  You said something about a report? ::takes a drink as the CSO heads out::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
<TO_Nijel>::fills the CTO in on the situation in science::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::signals the bartender to bring over his bottle:: XO: Sir would you care for some of Earth's true alcoholic beverages?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
*CSO*:  Trouble in your department tonight?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
*EO*: Send a representative from our current shift to assist.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<FCO> *XO*:  Bridge here, sir.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
<EO Sterling> *CEO*: Aye, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*Bridge*: Just tell our Chief Science Officer to fill me in on the issue in the Science Lab when he gets it under control.  Roberts out.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
*CTO*: I'm on it, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CEO: I'll have whatever you've got, Commander.  I can always enjoy a good drink.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::convinced there is nothing to worry about::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Here you go ::hands him a drink:: I have a simple request by the way I would like to discuss and we relax at the same time.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::chatting with the TO::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::takes a seat and the drink:: CEO: Certainly.  What did you have in mind?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: New security protocol for my office, main computer core access, and my quarters. The request sounds personal in nature, but it's because of the setup I have for ship access and work environments.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Tried to get Commander Tamaste to join us, but I think the Commander seemed more interested in other things, despite the false alarm.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CEO: I'll certainly take a look at it. Of course, Commander Tamaste will have to give me his ideas as well. ::nods::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::sees that everything is in order::  TO:  Good night.  ::leaves the bridge::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::Arrives at the science lab in question and looks wide eyed at the scene.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::wonders if Keli is still up::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Take my office in Main Engineering and give it a dedicated hardline ODN connection to the core, end to end encryption, with reinforced walls and full magnetic hermetic sealing. Biometric multi-factor access. Same for my quarters and the computer core. New interface terminals in Main Engineering that would adopt these access standards.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: I have a feeling that while right now everything is all play, and I am enjoying the time off right now, we are at the beginning of something. At least so I have heard...from some..."sources"
