INCOMING TRANSMISSION
SCIMITAR COMMAND STAFF – THIRD FLEET
PRIORITY COMMUNIQUÉ 
AUTHORIZATION ALPHA-FED-1842680-BLACK 

TO: 		Senior Staff, USS Scimitar
CC:		Captain John Winters, Commanding Officer, USS Scimitar
FROM: 	Lieutenant Commander Brian Black, Executive Officer, USS Scimitar

SUBJECT: Mission Briefing

STARDATE: 10202.11

Crew,
With the arrival of our mysterious passenger there a few things I want to straighten out before we set course for Rigel 7. First of all, I’m sure you are aware that the quarters of our guest have been completely sealed from the rest of the ship, due to the considerable amount of questions that have been raised about their situation.

FCO: Mr. More, set a course back to Rigel 7, as soon as the Captain and myself have assessed the situation at hand we can get underway. Meanwhile, be sure to contact StarFleet Command and notify them that we have picked up our passenger and are preparing to set course for Rigel 7. Finally, take care of bridge coordination during our absence, I’m sure you know what I mean.

CNS: Counsellor, seeing that we have some gaps in the senior staff, I would be grateful if you could assist any station on the bridge. I’m confident that Commander More will have a few ideas on where he could use you.

CSO: Mr. Ahkileez, send the passive scanning results of that Galarian Cruiser to the tactical department for further analysis, also be sure to send a copy to StarFleet Tactical, we may need all the information we can get on the Galarians. Furthermore, monitor the tactical systems and initiate continuous sensor sweeps of the area, I want to know if something suddenly pops up as we don’t want any surprises.

I’m sure I don’t need to stress the importance of this mission, StarFleet Command made it clear that they consider this assignment high priority, which means they have confidence in this ship and it’s excellent crew. 

Having said I myself am confident that we’ll go through this mission successfully.

Lieutenant Commander Brian Black
Executive Officer – USS Scimitar

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Sitting in a shuttle, waiting for sensors to tell him when he's getting close to the Scimi::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::sitting at ops, thinking about this mission, also trying to sense their guest::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::is unabashed at the sheer number of sensors he's turning on the craft, gleaning every sliver of information he can get on the craft, its power systems and weapons::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::is on the Bridge of the Scimitar, in the command seat::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Leans back in his chair and takes a nap::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::making his way through the corridor on deck 2, thinking about the mission at hand::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::looks at the readings on the console::  Self: I’m glad they make learning some of the other stations part of the academy.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::hears his console beeping and kills the notification:: FCO: Commander, I think I've gotten as much on that ship as I'm going to get without them shipping over their technical specs.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::slows down as he sees the designated quarters and sighs softly::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: I suggest you prepare a report to Starfleet Science, and prepare a dossier for the tactical department, Ensign.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CNS: When is LtCmdr Roger's ETA?

CNS_tr`Loris says:
FCO: Four minutes

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::tapping a few command on the control panel outside of the Galarian's quarters and opens a comm channel through the internal system::  *Galarian Passenger*: Greetings this Lieutenant Commander Black, Executive Officer of the Scimitar...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CNS: Excellent. Prepare  Shuttle bay one for his arrival.

Host Kevin says:
<Passenger> :: in a almost lyrical tone :: *XO* Go away, I am busy

CNS_tr`Loris says:
FCO: Yes sir. ::lets the shuttle bay know to get ready for the CTO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Hears a beep and sits up:: Self: 4 minutes until I'm back at work. Fun.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CNS: After that, hail the shuttle.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::transfers the data to the tactical department as he starts gleaning out the important parts for a preliminary abstract for Starfleet Science and the Dip Corps:: FCO: Should I officially register that as a Galarian vessel, Commander? We don't know that for sure.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::a bit surprised by the rather arrogant tone of the Galarian::  *Galarian*: Sir, I know you may be occupied with adjusting yourself to your quarters aboard the Scimitar, but if possible I would like to ask you some questions...  ::sighs softly again and waits patiently::

Host Kevin says:
<Passenger> :: in a almost lyrical tone :: *XO* I am busy, later. not now.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
COM: Shuttle: We have your eta at 4 minutes

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: It's your choice.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::raises a brow:: FCO: Understood... ::adds the word 'assumed' to his report and transmits it::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Hears the signal:: COM: Scimitar: Sounds about right to me. I'll be docking. If you could, arrange some personnel to watch after my baby as soon as I get back.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::sighs again::  *Galarian*: Understood, I'll be back later with some questions, Black out.  ::grumbles a little and heads back along the corridor::  Self: Those darn VIP's... always so arrogant...

Host Kevin says:
<Baby> ::wakes at the sound of the comm signal, makes a purring noise::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::smiles:: COM: Shuttle: Sure, I'll see what I can do. by the way how is your baby?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Looks over at the baby:: Self: Now it purrs... What next? ::Thinks about keeping a log of all the strange baby noises::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Checks how much time he has::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@COM: CNS: It's fine... All things considered at least.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::enters the TL on the end of the corridor still annoyed by their guest::  TL: Bridge !

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Starts 1 minute landing procedures::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::watches over the shuttle bay readouts::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::thinks about the CTO's answers::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Sends the signal to open the shuttle bay doors as he nears the ship::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CNS: Ask Commander Rogers to report here ASAP.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::enters the bridge, glancing at the bridge crew while trying to let a smile appear on his face::  FCO: Report..

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::has the shuttle bay doors open with the tractor beam ready if necessary:: FCO: Right.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
:;draws a stool over and sits, going over his own analyses::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Enters the shuttle bay and glides to a soft landing::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::gets out of the chair and meets Commander Black in the command area::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: The CSO has finished his analysis of the ship and is currently preparing reports to Starfleet, and Commander Rogers and his new Offspring just docked in the main shuttle bay.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Picks up the baby in one arm and his bag in the other and steps out of the shuttle::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Good, well, our passenger doesn't seem really cooperative at the moment, I'll try again later...  for now we should set course for Rigel 7 and get underway....

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: I trust your conversation with the galarian didn't go well?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Understood.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
*CTO* come up to the bridge after you and the kid are settled back in. Oh and I found and Ensign who's off duty that baby-sits for ya.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*CNS* Have the Ens. meet me on the bridge. I'm on my way.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Heads around and into the TL:: TL: Bridge.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::turns and makes his way to the helm::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
FCO: That's an understatement.. ::tries to smile:: maybe Captain Winters will have more luck later though...  he's gone to his quarters for now...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
*Ensign Mari* He'll meet you on the bridge.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Arrives on the bridge, bag in one arm, baby in the other::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: I've set a course for Rigel-VII

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::brings the long range sensors into navigation mode and starts scanning ahead for anomalies:: FCO: The way seems clear, Commander. ::looks over his readouts;:

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::sees the CTO enter the bridge and looks at the baby then frowns::  CTO: Welcome back Mr Rogers... just one question... did you forget bridge protocols...?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Maximum warp?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
<Ensign Mari> ::steps off the turbolift and looks around::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods in agreement at the FCO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: I'm waiting for the sitter... ::Glances over to the CNS::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Understood. Engage.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::looks behind him:: CTO: She's just got here. Right behind you.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::takes the Scimitar around and then exits on the correct vector, punching the ship straight into high warp::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
FCO: Get us underway then Mr. More..  ::smiles::  CTO: Be sure to solve this ASAP... we will need you back on the bridge...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: We're underway, Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Turns around:: Mari: Hello. This is the baby. I should be by to pick it up when I go off duty this evening.

<Ensign mari> ::Smiles:: CTO: Okay. ::takes the baby:: Baby: hello there. ::walking onto the turbolift::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Wonders if he's the only one noticing the... spikes as he turns back to his station::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::sits down in the command chair::  FCO: Very well...  CTO: Mr Rogers, I recommend you also check in with our CMO after your duty shift ends and you get settled in again... before he contacts me again.. ::smiles::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: Right... I'll get around to that...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Checks all the memo's to see what's been going on::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::raises an eyebrow because the CTO referred to the baby as ''it''::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::makes a note to ask Mari about the baby::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::begins to wonder whether the baby is a girl or a boy::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Goes through his usual paces as though he's been there all along::
