USS Scimitar Mission Summary – Stardate: 10203.25

The USS Scimitar, with only moments to spare, canceled the self destruct
sequence when it was found that the Romulan 'invasion' was contained in a
pocket universe.

But not before the Scimitar had been badly damaged by the attacking ships, the
Kuroc ( blowing apart the doors to the Shuttle bay ) and crew ( in addition to
the injuries of the initial shock wave from the probes explosion there were
further casualties from both the Romulans shots on the Scimitar as well as the
CEO's detonation of his phaser amongst crew and Romulan boarding parties.)

To make the matter even more bizarre the damage directly inflicted by the
Romulan boarding parties and the Romulan BOP's ( which scans showed to be far
more advanced then anything the federation or the romulans are known to have at
present )  seemed to disappear once the scimitar managed to limp out side the
'event horizon' of the pocket universe.

The only common thread for the damage that remained, both to crew and to
hardware, was that it seemed to be caused by what was aboard the ship when it
entered the pocket.

The CO has ordered both the CTO and the CEO have been confined to quarters
until a full investigation into their actions can be made.

At present the scimitar is under tow back to Starbase 51 where the repairs
necessary are expected to take 3-4 days.

The probes computer core will be picked up upon their arrival and taken, along
with sensor logs of the scans of both the pocket space and the Romulan ships,
to a Star fleet R&D facility for further study.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION
STARFLEET PERSONNEL, SAN FRANCISCO, EARTH
PRIORITY COMMUNIQUÉ
AUTHORIZATION GAMMA-OMEGA-2212-OMEGA

TO:  Captain John Winters, Commanding Officer. USS Scimitar NCC-80826
CC:  Lieutenant Commander Brian Black , Executive Officer. USS Scimitar
NCC-80826

CC: Department Heads, USS Scimitar NCC-80826
FROM:  Admiral William Crenshaw
STARDATE: 10201.07
SUBJECT:  Mission Orders

Captain Winters,

Once repairs to the Scimitar ae completely you will head for the Federation
outpost on Sigma 12 in the Ber'kak system  near the  border or Federation /
Klingon space with supplies and equipment ( cargo list attached )

While at Sigma 12 your crew will assist the outpost in the  installation of
the new equipment while using the opportunity to confirm reports of 'border
running' that SF intel has received over the last few weeks.

If such exists you are to stop and board any ships participating in this
activity as well as making a full list of their cargo which, if illegal, you
will confiscate.

If no such actions are detected you will return to Starbase 51 and resume
normal patrol duties within one week of arriving at sigma 12.

Admiral William Crenshaw

USS Scimitar Mission Briefing – Stardate: 10204.01

To:        Authorized Personnel, U.S.S. Scimitar NCC-80826
From:    Captain John Winters, Commanding Officer
Subject: Mission Briefing – Stardate 10304.01
Date:     Stardate 10303.31
 
The Scimitar has been ordered back to Starbase for repairs. We have not received estimates from engineering at this time as to how long these repairs may take once we get in. The strange happenings of our last mission have not gone un-noticed by Starfleet. 
 
After repairs are complete we have addition orders to convey some cargo to a Federation Outpost, Sigma 12. Once there we will assist in the installation. Find attached to this briefing a cargo manifest. All crew members are to familiarize themselves with the components and be ready to render assistance to our Outpost.
 
We may also be called upon to do some inspections of ships crossing the border. This will only happen if we suspect smuggling.
 
As for the Chief Tactical Officer and the Chief Engineer they may return to limited duty. Charges are still pending.
 
Captain John Winters
Commanding Officer

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::Sat at the engineering station on the Bridge, reading system diagnostic reports and maintenance crew reports on his console::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::sat at the helm being bored::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::'mm-hmmm' to himself as he reads good reports::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
::At his new post looking over reports::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::reads one report then adjusts one 'setting' accordingly on his console to correct for something::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::on his way to the bridge, patiently waiting in the TL::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::grumbles to himself a little and starts correcting the spelling on one of his engineers reports::

Host CO_Winters says:
::in his ready room filling out the mounds of paperwork that gathered ::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::as the TL arrives on the bridge he steps out and walks to the command area::  FCO: Report, Mr More...

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::rolls his chair along to another part of the Engineering console and checks a few readings in reference to the PADD, mm-hmming again::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::wakes up from a daze:: XO: One moment sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: We are still at the Starbase, sir.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::grins at the FCO and looks at the viewscreen::  FCO: Apparently, Mr More... but I was more guessing....maybe...repairs to the ship...?

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::overhears Commander More and looks at the viewscreen, smiling to himself, almost chuckling, but holding it back::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: As far as I know, everything is going great sir, but it's not really my job to know. ::looks over at the CEO::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::Finishes up a note for the Science department, who appear to be elsewhere and saves it to a PADD to be left for them, for a personal touch::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::stands up and walks to Science, placing the Padd carefully on top of the console, just having a quick look at the console for a moment too::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
::stands up and walks towards tactical and checks on power allocation::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Very good Mr More...  you have the bridge once again...  I'll check up on the Captain... ::grins before he makes his way to the readyroom and hits the door chime::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CEO: Lieutenant. I want a report on the Ships' repairs status, now.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
FCO: Would that be by hand or by mouth?

Host CO_Winters says:
*XO*: Enter.

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
::notices a small Fluctuation on a plasma relay portside, but doesn't say anything and heads back too his post::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CEO: Verbally will do.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::enters the readyroom and moves to the CO's desk standing at attention::  CO: Lieutenant Commander Black reporting for duty...  ::smiles::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
FCO: Ok, repairs are well underway... ::sits back down in his chair:: ... they could be completed in the next few hours.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CEO: Could you be more specific?

Host CO_Winters says:
::resists the urge to remark on the XO's straight posture::  XO: At ease Commander, you must have had a good time while you were away.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
FCO: We're fully loaded with supplies for the next year or so, we took enough and more.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
FC’: Specific on what, commander?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CEO: The repairs Lieutenant. Have you been drinking?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: Indeed...wouldn't have missed it for the world... ::takes a seat::  but it once again remembered me that things do change quickly on starships....

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
::shaking his head  at the FCO & CEO argument and goes on with his work::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
FCO: No, Commander. The repairs are just jolly. Given that our cargo is successfully loaded by those half-wits from the station correctly, we should be underway in just over nine hours, as near as I can estimate.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Its not the same going back after a few months, Never is.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CEO: Excellent.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::sits down in the command chair and reads over reports::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::Frowns at his console for a moment then turns to More again:: FCO: Should I have a written report prepared for you any way commander? Could be more thorough.

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
::grins and allocates some more power too the Command chair console::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CEO: If you feel so inclined, but it is by no means necessary.

Host Kevin says:
Action: Automatic systems cut in redirecting the excess power to environmental subsystems

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::Reads another memo being sent to him from the Engineering Teams:: FCO: One of me engineering teams would like to take part of the gravity plating off line on deck eight, would that be ok with you, commander?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: I can vouch for that as well now..

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CEO: Indeed. Inform the crew in the effected areas, and give them ten minutes to vacate them.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Indeed, so whats the status of the Scimitar?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: Repairs are underway... and should be completed within a few hours...  as far as I tell, the crewmembers that got wounded have been recovering nicely and should be back on duty in a few days from now..  ::quickly glances at their names::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
FCO: Thanking you, Commander. ::Deactivates the appropriate grav plates and routes Turbo lifts away from that section::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Very well. Anything else?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: I was wondering...  what do you propose we do with Mr Rogers and Mr van Bronckhorst, involving their "actions" in our recent Romulan crisis...?

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: I have been considering that. Recommending reprimands for the CTO, however, I think something more serious is in order for Mr. van Bronckhorst.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Ops: Van Bronckhorst, would you please run a check on all our power flow readings? I'm not sure of the network status.

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CEO: Aye, your word is my command ::grins and checks the power flow::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::mumbles to himself again::

Host Kevin says:
Action: an alarm goes off on the CEO's station, Starboard ramscoops are losing containment, possible release of hydrogen gas and drive plasma in 48 seconds

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::mumbles, inaudibly:: self: is he flirting' or something'?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: Understood....he was indeed endangering the whole crew in main engineering with his overloaded phaser...  ::sighs::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::sighs and answers the alarm::  Ops: Looks like we have a problem with one of the nacelles, ramscoops to be specific, Would you shut down the EPS flow to the starboard nacelle?

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Yes, at least he took note of what systems were in the area, or at least I hope he considered that.

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
OPS: Aye ::shuts down EPS flow too starboard nacelle::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: As for Mr Rogers... he still has a long way to go to following orders correctly...

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Yep, he destroyed that probe without orders. I was thinking of some remedial training.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Self: Ok that should contain any plasma fires... let’s see about this Hydrogen Gas...

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: I do hope he did.....  ::glances out of the small side window looking at the Starbase's interior::

Host Kevin says:
Action: The alarm continues to blink for a few seconds.. then goes out, with the eps power cut off the ramscoops containment field fails completely but with no nearby power source to ignite the releasing cloud of gasses. fortunately no latent static discharge or plasma is released to cause a catastrophic fireball

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Ops: Ok now purge the ramscoop and I'll get a DCT up there to take a look at it once the Hydrogen Gas concentrations have gone down a bit.

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CEO: Purging Ramscoop now!

Host Kevin says:
Action: one last puff of gases escapes the now empty ramscoops

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: That would be a good option...  I will see if I can arrange that with help of our Counsellor...

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::sighs:: Ops: In fact, while we're at it, purge the port ramscoop and shut it down also, I want a full inspection team out there to take a look or this ship will not leave dock.

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CEO: Okay, your the Engineer!  ::purges port ramscoop::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Very well...

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::mumbles at the station again:: self: suck up...

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
COM: Starbase: Sorry, we're purging the Port side now, Because of malfunctions

Host Kevin says:
<SB51> Com: Scimitar: Understood. do you need additional assistance?

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::looks at Ops:: Ops: From their half-wits they call engineers? I think not... ::mumbles back again something on the lines of 'jerks'::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
COM:SB51: If you can have a team out there too check out the Ramscoops and the nacelles it would be cool!

Host Kevin says:
<sb51> Com: Scimitar: Acknowledged, we'll have a team out your way once the gases have disappeared, Rampart out. ::closes communication::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CEO: They can have a Team out there faster then us so I'm letting them check it, you monitor there progress

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Ops: No, they won't, tell them to stay off my engines.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Now we do have some other business to attend too.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Ops: Do you hear me?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: Understood... Conference Room, Sir...?

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Yes, gather the crew.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Ops: Get them back on the horn and tell them to stay off my engines, I'll have my own team up there soon enough.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::taps his commbadge::  *Senior Staff*: Attention, all senior staff please report to the conference room on the double !

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the lift and heads to his station::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CEO: There faster and it's my call, do I make myself clear lt.!

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Ops: Listen, Mr. Since when is it your call?

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CEO: Since I Own the Comm. channel!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::gestures:: CO: Lead the way, Sir..  ::smiles::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::was halfway through the tests, when he looks up:: Self: What?  ::remembers he's staff and heads toward the conference room::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
Ops: I am Chief Engineer here and unless my Engineers check these things out we will not leave this station. Now do I make my self clear or do you want to put more lives in danger while you're at it?

Host CO_Winters says:
::walks onto the bridge, heading towards the conference room::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CEO: Do I have to report you too the CO!!

Host CO_Winters says:
::looks around::  OPS: Report what?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::slips past Winters and walks into the conference room, taking a seat at the end::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::Silences a beeping console as quick as possible::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CO: The CEO is giving back talk, we have some damage and SB offered assistance and I accepted that, Sir

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Repairs to the ship are the responsibility of the CEO, any repair teams are to be authorized by him, and as for backtalk, he outranks you.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CEO and OPS and makes his way into the conference room, nodding at the CSO as he takes his regular seat::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
CO: Sir, officially I'm still the CEO, sir!

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::Stands from his console and walks over to Winters:: CO: May I be excused of this briefing, Captain, I've been summoned about these repairs and we should be underway ASAP. I'll read the minutes at a later date.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::leans back in the chair, wondering what this meeting was called ro::

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: You are one or the other, and right now you are sitting in the Operations chair, the paperwork might not be filed yet, but he is the CEO. Now, we have some business to attend to in the conference room.

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: Not a briefing, you should attend

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
::stands up and heads for the Conference room:: Self: Red tape all the way!

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
CO: Very well. ::Waits for the captain to go first::

Host CO_Winters says:
::walks to the conference room::  All: Good, I am glad you could all attend.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::follows and takes a seat as 'asked'::

Host CO_Winters says:
::looks the XO::  XO: Do you have what I need?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods at the CO and stands, taking a small box out of his right pocket::  CO: I have, Captain...

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Ahh, very well.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::glances over at Bainbridge, and then returns his gaze to the small padd he brought with him::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::gets comfortable in his seat and an odd grin creeps across his face as he knows something is happening::

Host CO_Winters says:
::takes the box::  CSO: I think Mr. Ahkileez, your time as an Ensign is about up.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::looks up:: CO: Captain?

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Step forward please.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::raises an eyebrow and slips the chair back to stand and walk over to the captain::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::smiles at the CSO::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::wonders if there is any way to make this finish quicker::

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Mr. Ahkileez, for your outstanding service to the USS Scimitar as its Chief Science Officer, I hereby promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade with all the rights and privileges thereof.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::thinks 'weh-ho, finally, come on, get on with it, I feel uncomfortable here, I want out'::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::raises the second eyebrow:: CO: ....Thank you, Captain. I'll try to fill those shoes.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black_ says:
::applauds and offers the CSO his hand::  CSO: Congratulations Lieutenant !

Host CO_Winters says:
::pins on the new pip::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::shakes Black's hand automatically and suddenly feels more weight on his neck:: All: Thanks, all of you.

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::Sighs thinking 'faster already, faster, faster' wanting to get back to engineering::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
:;sits back thinking 'that's al'::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black_ says:
::looks at the CO::  CO: Anything else, Captain....?

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: That is all for now. All: Dismissed.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::hesitates for a moment, and then turns toward the door::

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
:;stands up and heads back too his station::

Host CO_Winters says:
All: One moment. Wait all of you

CSO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::holds::

CEO_Lt_Bainbridge says:
::glad he stayed sat::

Host CO_Winters says:
All: I almost forgot another promotion that we have to do.

OPS-Bronckhorst says:
::Stops and turns::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Mr. Black, your service on the Scimitar has been relatively short, but your service to the ship as been outstanding.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: For your service to this ship and her crew, I promote you to the rank of full commander. ::removes a pip from his pocket::

CSO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::smiles a bit, offering the handshake back::  XO: Congratulations, Commander.
