Summary - Twenty-four long hours have passed. The crew of the U.S.S. Scimitar have spent their time attempting to decrypt and analyze the information they have before them...

The Airilians, apparently concerned with their own destiny and origins have apparently been filled with debate over the war being arranged by General Atok and the Airilian Regent.

Weapons have been stock-piled, weapons that are of Laquiexian origin. Subspace weapons are being mounted on vessels, biological weapons - similar to the Airilian Incursion virus - have been brought to Airilius IV...and a new class of vessel is being developed.

The crew know that the Airilian Minister Del had travelled to Sol Sector on holiday...quite possibly in a subspace vessel...but that the Airilian Regent denies his species has access to vessels that can travel through subspace. So many questions, so little answers...and only 24 hours left...

Fate, destiny, it all has a time-line...and time is running out for the Scimitar...

And it clashes with the planet's atmosphere. :: he replies with a smirk. ::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::exiting his readyroom he steps onto the bridge, nodding at the XO::  XO: Report !
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
FCO: I think so John. Only your face and hands where burned, but I've patched them up nicely I think.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::leans back in her chair for a moment hearing an unsettling crack in her neck, receiving a hearty kick probably for disturbed leap, for her trouble::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::steps onto the bridge and makes her way to the CSO:: CSO: What ....::shuts up and turns to the CO::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
:;looks over his shoulder at the XO, wondering what she was about to say before shaking his head, turning back to his data:: Self: Right...to work...
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CMO: Easy to handle burns. Stop pain get dermal regenerator and your done.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<Computer> CTO: Lieutenant K’Nargh is not on board.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*EO*: Ah yes, i forgot you got assigned to fix the ship.  never mind.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: Sir, our 48 hour ceasefire is half complete and we are still working to find the proof required to satisfy the Airilians, as for damage etc :;turns to OPS:: OPS: Report please?.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CIV*: Is quite alright
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*TO*: Ensign Trigger, report to the transporter room.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CIV*: I am quite used to everyone requesting my assistance.  It is tough being a genius..but I try to get on with my life.  :: Moves to the MSD work bench and starts to re-align the warp engines to his liking. ::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*CIV*: Just finished on excusing our FCO, but there are still a lot of other wounded. But I can spare a few minutes.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at his XO as he steps onto the command circle::  XO: Very well...  *CEO*: Chief, how are we doing on the repairs...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<TO_Ens_Trigger> *CTO*: Aye sir, On my way.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::hops off the bed:: CMO: Don't mind be called john, doc, but don't do it to often. ::points at his collar:: Have to keep up the charade, ensign.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks up:: XO: We still have  lot of comm traffic, repairs are proceeding...but if they decide to break the ceasefire...anyway minor alterations have been made to the shields while you were off ship, and I have a ready power supply to kick them in if we need them
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Wipes his brow:: *CO*: Coming along slowly, sir. Not enough people for a lot of damage.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:;turns back to the CSO:: CSO: What have you found? ::steps to the console next to him as she speaks and turns back to Xia as she accesses the information retrieved by Lai::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
FCO: Sorry sir ::Smiles a bit in discomfort::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Leaves the science lab, making his way to the bridge::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<TO> ::Enters TR 1::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
*CEO*: Understood, keep me informed... we might need those repairs to hold... soon...  Black out.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::briefly turns and nods to OPS:: OPS: Thank you Lieutenant
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Takes a turbolift to the bridge::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
FCO: It's okay,doc ::Smiles:: Your a medical man stuck in a military machine. ::heads for nearest Turbolift::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::frowns slightly:: XO: Trouble, Commander. 19 different languages, a different encryption on each language, and then after all that we've still got to piece together what it all says.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<TO> *CTO*: What are my orders sir?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and looks back down to her console grumbling under her breath about her poor comm systems choking on all the data::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Steps out of the turbolift and onto the bridge, catching a glance of himself as he passes a shiny shiny surface - he looks like he hasn't slept in a while, red eyes and all that::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: slowly he begins to hum a Russian song..moving from station to station ...seemingly tapping random commands, though each station he leaves now seems to operate at a slightly more organized fashion. ::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*TO*: Transport to the Eridanus and assist in the repairs of the Tactical systems, keep me apprised of your progress.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CSO: Interesting, 19 languages we are aware of or similar to those we use? ::smiles sounds like a challenge she would love with more time::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CSO: Sorry I took so long, i was trying to increase the processing speed of the decryption sub-processors.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<TO> *CTO*: Aye sir, trigger out. ::steps up to the TR padd and beams over to the Eridanus::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Gets back to work, underneath a console::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Before returning to his duty, he remembers the call from the CIV:: *CIV*: Sir, you require my assistance?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: Most are catalogued within the database, so those will be simple. We can cut them into pieces, decrypt each piece, and then translate. The ones we don't know will be harder...
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Since yesterdays incident, many of the Airilian vessels have given the Scimitar and the Eridanus a wide birth...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks up to Xia:: Xia: Can you help with the language you managed to do better then the rest of us with the poem on the chamber wall.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
CEO: Sir, I'm reading a slight aberration in the power allocation outlet near the starboard nacelle...mind if I take a small look at it....might be able to finally clear the static discharger on that deck as well.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::moves to the CSO, XO and Xia as well::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CSO: I thought it would be a good idea if the doctor and i reviewed the data we have on the new class of ships they are about to deploy.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Glances up from her information and towards Black and Janan:: XO: Well actually, the language I knew...I didn't even realize it was Airilian...but I'll do my best.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Bridge to Lieutenant Lai.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::enters on the bridge after taking a slight detour to get a fresh uniform::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Kaimana closes down her display and moves over next to Lieutenant Delar, giving him a quick nod::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and glances to the CO, before turning back to her console to get on with assisting the CSO in his efforts::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::frowns over his console at the Civilian:: CIV: Why're you telling me?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks up as Exeter enters the bridge and nods slightly in his direction:: FCO: Feeling better sir?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Xia: We appreciate anything you can do, Commander...  ::smiles faintly::  we have a serious matter on our hands with the Airilians now...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CSO: Well, seeing as i was assigned to work under you, it might be polite.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gives her a curious look:: Xia: How did you learn the language?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: doesn't seem to really wait for the CEO's response.. moving to the appropriate station and making slight adjustments to the displayed equations...his humming getting a little louder as he smiles. ::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> ECEO: Thanks for meeting me sir, can you show me to Tactical control so I can get on with the repairs?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*CMO*: Doctor, how well versed are you in cybernetics?
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: Serious doesn't even begin to cover it, Brian. ::She looks almost saddened by the situation:: XO: A friend of mine, Commander Jah`d...taught it to me. I can identify the alphabet...but can't really speak more then that verse...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
:;frowns even harder:: CIV: You were? Hmmm...I wasn't told...Alright, well go ahead, keep us updated on the situation.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: I'll survive, lieutenant ::smiles::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<ECEO> TO: Right this way ensign. ::leads the Scimitar TO down a few corridors to Tactical Control::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*CIV*: Still learning sir. ::Finishing his tricorder scan::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
*CTO*: Aye, what can I do for you?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::opens up his decryption tools, quickly sifting through the data and cutting it into 19 different chunks before processing it through, looking for keys and nodes to help with the decryption process::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CSO: Thank you.  :;Leaves the bridge, making his way to Sickbay::  *CMO*: Doctor, I am on my way to you with some interesting data.  On living ships, lets see what we can piece together on it.  Hopefully some sort of weapon that will work against them.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods in understanding rubbing her temple lightly closing her eyes for a moment against the throbbing in her head::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles to Xia:: Xia: Well commander you seem better qualified then any of us? ::suddenly remembers Xia's earlier words turns to the CO::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CO: Any orders? ::turns towards Black::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: as he continues to work he stops humming...tilting his head to the side and smiling oddly as he taps his combadge :: *FCO*: Commander Exeter, this is Ensign Kamarov...do you have a moment?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Can we route any more power to the EPS manifolds at the forward Phaser array?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::opens one eye as her console beeps:: All: well that's interesting...we have a fighter wing acting as babysitters for us...
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: So it seems. ::She turns to the Lieutenant, looking serious, and professional:: CSO: Lieutenant, can I see the languages you weren't able to identify with the database?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::frowns slightly:: OPS: Is it one of ours?
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Frowns at the fried systems:: *CTO:* Should be able to, but don't push it...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<ECEO> ::opens a door to a maze of tangled wiring and sparking consoles:: TO: There you go, I'll send a couple of my engineers to lend a hand as soon as I have someone available.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the FCO::  FCO: Good to see you back on your feet, Commander... take helm control once again and see if you can track the Airilians Fleet movement for now...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::turns to Xia and nods:: ECO: Three of them have been decrypted, the fourth is running through now. ::sends them to a PADD, set to update when the last one has been decrypted, and hands the PADD to her::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Anything you can give me would be an advantage.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: No they’re of the Airilian fleet, they've just been ordered to stand by and watch ::forwards the message to his console::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and quietly speaks:: out loud: Ah yes the friend who met the enemy the friend that Black also knows.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> ECEO: I'd appreciate that sir, Thanks.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: I have a moment now, ensign, what can I do for you?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::itches to make a suggestion but just nods, and gives Brenna a smile before looking back down at the decryption process::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*FCO* Sorry to trouble you..but I just thought of something...you broke the curse yesterday.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Xia begins to look over the various decrypted languages. She recognizes symbols in one of them and nods, holding out the PADD to Janan:: XO: Third one down...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::attempts to fix some broken relays in his console::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Arrives in sickbay, sees the doctor walk past:: CMO: Dr. Abmeraz, if you’re not too busy, could we go over this data?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: continues to work at the alignment equation. Replacing one set of variables for another....smiling as he watches the efficiency quotient go up one half of a percent. ::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::bites her bottom lip and sends her readings over to Rowans console getting up and walking over behind him:: CSO: What do you make of this?..the rest of the fleet is about ready to head out, but these guys, 24 fighters, all for us?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: That's odd, I didn't knew Jah'd met the Airilians before... I'm curious where he picked that up then....  ::thinks for a moment::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::glances at it and looks to Xia:: Xia: Commander, can you read it?
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::shakes head knowing this is gonna be some lame $%! remark:: *EO*: What curse?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> COM: Scimitar: CTO: Sir, the Tactical Control center here's a real mess.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks up from his tricorder:: CIV: Yes sir. I was a little to focused on my work here I guess.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The "efficiency quotient" Kamarov is so proud of suddenly plummets down 5 points...apparently he missed a variable.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*FCO* Every time we go on an away mission...and you and I get teamed up....I get shot...guess what. I didn't get shot.  Curse broken.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks over to the Captain and frowns slightly before turning his eyes to the data:: OPS: They're keeping an eye on us...has the Eridanus got a similar escort? They may only be to hold us back here while something else attacks the Eridanus...that's what happened last time.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: Lets drop the "Sir".  My name is Aleister.  Do you have an area we can work?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks at the Padd still fascinated but does answer:: CO: Perhaps not the Airilians but the Enemy I believe he referred to, sir.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
COM: Eridanus: TO: Acknowledged Ensign, do what you can and enlist as much help as you can, I want those systems online yesterday.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> COM: Scimitar: CTO: Acknowledged sir. Trigger out.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: frowns as he taps at a few more controls....bringing the quotient back up to its original value....raising an eyebrow as he looks for the cause of the drop. ::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: I can try to translate it, but I'm not really a scholar. That is, however the language Commander Jah`d taught me...he said it was the language of "The Enemy."
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: Trust me there will be more away missions :: Gets behind his console and starts checking on fleet movements
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::notes the reaction of the CSO::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::frowns harder at the data:: OPS: These 24 fighters could disable our engines easily if they focused their attacks, leaving the Scimitar unable to help. We could launch our fighters, but we'd need to hold at least two squadrons back to help here...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::frowns::  XO: The dreamscapes ?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: That would leave the last two squadrons to help the Eridanus, but by then it will probably be too late, and they can finish us off at their leisure...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: No, these are for both of us, the only ones left behind, but fighters are short range right?...so...are they supposed to slow us down from following do you think, or is there something we're not seeing about these ships?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*FCO* True.  If you don't mind sir...I think you should handle the explosives on the next mission though...I find the whole idea...a bit explosive for my tastes.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> ::gets to work clearing the tangled wires away::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: if there will be a next time :;smiles::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::under his console fiddling with wires::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: I can't say for certain but it would be the best candidate your friend had trouble with a subspace fracture and mentioned the enemy then the Airilians have a poem making dreamscapes an ideal candidate.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The unusual whispering can be heard again, this time by Dandin Lai. The voice is gentle, and somehow familiar...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*FCO*: Oh..before I forget, sir.  Good to see you are back on the job sir.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CIV: Of course, I’m in me in my office, we can work there. ::Gestures him to his office::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: I survived worse, but thanks anyway.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: I'm not sure...::checks the decryption process quickly before running a few covert deep-penetration scans on the fighters::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: Thank you.  ::follows the doctor into his office, putting his PADD down on the desk, waiting for the doctor to sit down behind his desk::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO/CO: It is possible...but the Regent seemed convinced that the enemy was not the Dreamscapes...but something else. CSO: Lieutenant...can you cross reference something for me?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: can you see if you can fix that Imbalance in the launcher integrity field?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: I still don't see the connection between the Airilians and the Dreamscapes... ::sighs::  they do not particularly benefit from each other then any other species would...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks up from his scans:: ECO: Of course, Commander
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: tries a new set of variables on the equation...hoping to cancel out the effects of the last drop while keeping the benefits of the previous change. ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CTO: What happened to my pilots? ::as he looks up from his console spotting the action report::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Blinks, and removes his commbadge to check if it's malfunctioning::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles to Xia for once really seeming impressed by her knowledge:: ECO: Excellent Commander, perhaps there is enough in one language to figure something out ::pauses:: Yes he did not view the dreamscapes as an enemy to them.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::rubs her temple again wincing and almost reaching for the hypo spray in her pocket before thinking better of it::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Walking around his desk to sit in his comfortable chair:: CIV: Have you been able to find any useful information so far?
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: Access a translation of the poem "Born From Eternity" and search for any literary references to "The Enemy" in any databases we have access to...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks to the FCO and hesitates for a second:: FCO: Sir, unfortunately they were caught in the blast when we detonated the warp plasma cloud. ::looks sad as he remembers::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
XO/Xia: Then we might be forced to keep a wide perspective and look at the Nacandarians and V'Rax as well... it seems that this "Enemy" is an important clue in this all...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and quickly brings up the poem, correcting his search variable slightly and running that through::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO/ECO/CSO: There is only one civilization, which the Airilians seem to want war with, so I think we are ideal candidates as their enemy, but the Airilians have met the Dreamscapes and can be associated with them.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The whisper seems to be coming from Lai left...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: They have developed a class of bio-engineered ships, the data is on the PADD - what we need is a defense, or a weapon that we can use against them.  Mr. Kamarov suggested a virus of some sought, so I thought I would come and see you.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CTO: Did you even check if their where federation fighters behind you and did you warn them, Lieutenant?
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Shakes the badge and holds it to his ear, then replaces it and looks to his left::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: feels satisfied that he has found the solution, moving to a adjacent workstation and brings up his proposed modifications to the phaser array...testing different radiation bands against the data he copied from the alien database. ::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
:: Turning the PADD to face him, he starts to study the information on it:: Self: Interesting......
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::starts to feel like a little school boy:: FCO: I...... I didn't think sir, all I could think of was getting rid of the enemy fighters. ::looks at his feet::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
ECO: Three references found, Commander. One is the poem from the Assembly chamber, another is a series of books, and the last...is a recent news article...::frowns slightly and brings that up on the computer::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: The Nacandarians have made deals with the Airilians before and the V'Rax ...::pauses then shakes her head not wishing to comment::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - In front of Dandin Lai there appears to be a ghost of some sorts...or at the very least an illusion...a young child, that resembles his old friend, D'Aurayen.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> ::notices the two engineers entering and lets them know what he needs done and in what order::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: Yes it is....  but we have problem in that some of those ships may very well be sent to war against us, and we at the moment have very little in the way of defense against them.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::glances to the CSO:: CSO: Interesting. ::awaits the news information::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
XO: True... but so far we're still at a loss... ::glances at the CSO's comment::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: Here's the genetic diagram of the ships - it seems to be a combination of Airilian and Laquiexian DNA.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Keeps his eyes on the apparition as he reaches around hi for his tricorder. He finds it and begins to scan the area in front of him::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CTO: You do know that I'll have to address this issue with the captain, because in effect you killed those pilots and lost SF three kaneda fighters, lieutenant.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<EEO> TO: Is there anything else we need to do here, cos if there isn't then I can take care of that lot while my buddy works on another part.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks up from the padd with a thoughtful look:: CIV: Well, with this I might be able to try and generate something.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
All: There is a..."Cult"...on the planet, that have been trying to transmit messages into subspace. They've been trying for a while to unite the Airilian people, and have made several attempts to force peace on the government...The Regent had them arrested and killed last week.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks at the CMO:: CMO: Need any help?  we might be able to do this faster with two us working on it.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: I understand that sir and having had time to reflect I am willing to face the consequences of my actions.....  Sir.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Xia pauses, looking quite stunned:: XO: It appears, Commander...that peace might not work...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::places her hand lightly on her husband's shoulder going pale::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant, this is Ensign Kamarov down in Engineering...I am going to send you a series of wavelength settings for the phasers....if you wouldn't mind ..could you verify them against the data we captured concerning the Airilian Warships...I think one of these would be very useful against that bio/mechanical muck their made of.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CTO: For now your off the hook, lt. As soon as we hit a SB we probably have a enquiry or SF looking into it.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO, XO, Xia: I get the feeling our regent doesn't like dissidents much....
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> EEO: No, that's about it, let your friend know he can go where he's needed.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Aye sir, I understand.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gives Xia a thoughtful look:: ECO/CO/CSO: Yes he is keen on having a war and keen on obstructing talks yet he was forced to send us away for information I still believe if some views in the assembly are against war we may have a chance with good proof.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
*EO*: Of course, Chief. Send them up and I’ll probably send 'em right back down with correction ::smiles softly to himself at the friendly jibing, feeling a little more "normal" for it::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Wonders what these readings could mean:: Self: I think I'm overworked.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks up as her console beeps loudly and rushes over bringing up the subjects::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CIV: Yes that might be a good idea. Please follow me. ::Get's off his chair and heads for the detronal scanner::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> EEO: Transfer power through that conduit there, it looks to be the least damaged one.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CSO* : Aye sir...but I don't think I am chief yet...Genius da, Chief n’yet.  sending data now. :: transfers the information to the CSO's workstation. ::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO, XO, Xia: Point is that we need to divide the A.N.A. in order to avoid this war...
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CTO: They probably forget it........... seeing that as soon as we get any kind of break we are off to a new mission. You'll probably get a lawyer on your doorstep when your a Full Admiral
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO/CSO/CO: But who do we know in the Assembly who might actually support Starfleet?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Follows the doctor::  I thought we should start by looking for weaknesses in the base pairs.  that would give a starting point, if nothing else.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::sighs softly:: *EO*: It's a...a turn of phrase, Ensign. ::shakes his head:: I'll take a look, Delar out
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::smiles weakly:: FCO: Aye sir.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: How's that Imbalance looking?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks down at the phaser frequency modulations and matches it against their current data on the Airilian "bio-ships", tapping out several key points for later study when it's finished::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<SO> CTO: Almost cleared it.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: chuckles...hearing an insistent beeping from one of his stations, another of his equations having bombed out.  Sighing as he moves to the station. :: Console: Mutinous Dog...I shall teach you to spit my math back at me!
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head towards the CSO:: CSO: At present I think we need facts to persuade the few who still wish to keep peace.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
D'Aur: What are you?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::turns his head as his console beeps:: All: Translation is a bit rough, but the data has been decrypted and compiled ::hands out PADDs to the CO, XO and ECO with the current data::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Xia: We'll have to present the evidence to everyone since we can't afford to leave people out that potentially could be in favor of us...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Taps a few buttons on the console:: CMO: That looks promising...  ::gestures to a sequence that has been highlighted in red.  how do we pull it apart?
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The vision before Lai seems to say something, but all he can hear are whispers...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::narrows her eyes at the console and starts swearing rather loudly in Irish :: CSO: They've found our crack in they're system and they're trying to shut us down! ::bites her bottom lip and tries her best to counter::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::takers the PADD from the CSO and quickly glances over the rough translation::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
CTO: Heck you think with all the crazy stunts I did I would be doing hard time now. SF JAG is so caught up getting after traitors and  petty officers who forgot to say 'sir' to an admiral that the Cap'n will just slap you on the wrist.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<SO> CTO: Cleared it sir.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks back at the wavelengths and begins modulating slightly, adding in a fourth parser and modulating that to the correct frequency::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: I hope so sir. ::smiles slightly more::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks over to Brenna and frowns:: OPS: Cut the satellite off from all incoming signals but ours, try and turn it into a dumb bouy
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks at the doctor, suddenly feeling out of his depth::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Rewinds the audio the tricorder was processing, and tries to amplify the sound::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::grins:: CTO: I know so,lt.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Kaimana takes the PADD and looks over the articles and information::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: Right, transfer power back to the launchers and power them up. I want a status report.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods slowly:: CSO: I'll try, but I make no promises it'll work, they've got us spotted now ::attempts his suggestion waiting for the results::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looking at the highlighted sequence:: CIV: Yes it does. ::Still looking a bit puzzled::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: They may have us spotted, but if we can neutralize our entrance all they can do is blow it up
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: What’s the problem?  ::nervously::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Lai's attempt works, and a muffled voice plays over the tricorder, "Dandin...please, you must leave this place. It's, it's unsafe. I don't want to see you hurt...please..."
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<SO> CTO: Aye sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks up from the console surprised:: ECO: I think I found you a potential friend Commander...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: fixing the problem with the console once again he leans back in his chair...whistling the anthem for which he is sure the Airilians down below would hang him for introducing to their culture. ::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::winces as her headache intensifies, whimpers and the grumbles more loudly as she works::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The communications satellite powers down, and at the same time, the Scimitar torpedo launchers return to full power...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::checks as much as she can about him and to locate the minister::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::leaves Brenna to it, knowing that it's in capable hands, and sends the data back down to Engineering before tapping his commbadge:: *EO*: Chief, i remodulated the wavelengths a tad, added in a fourth parser and went for deeper penetration rather than power...this is bio-organics we're talking here.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> EEO: Right, I have Phasers online, let's tackle shields. Check the plasma manifold and I'll check the power conduits.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Taps another sequence of keys, asking the computer to find out what the attack the doctor devised will do.  the display on the monitor changes, showing.....::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Taps his badge, not taking his eyes off the child-figure::*CTO*: Chief, any signs of an unauthorized beam-in, or of a holographic imager being used by one of the Airilians?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Let me check. ::checks internal sensor logs::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO/ECO: I may also have another possible enemy for the Airilians? ::points second verse of the poem on the console::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The simulation before Lessing does very little...their weakness wasn't as weak as it seemed.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::looks at console and then sits back:: Self: I should have called a sick day.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: takes a look at the data and smiles...grinning as he brings up the said addition.  :: *CSO*: I see what you mean...but do you see the power drop off upon delivery?  if we add a second cosine function by dipping the frequency of the generator 2 nano-hertz...I think we can both maintain penetration...and keep the initial contact damage.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> ::curses as sparks fly from a cable near his arm::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: Let's try something a little more aggressive...  acids?  What effect would those have when combined with this viral attack...  the combination might be stronger than either one of the attacks on its own.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: I'm showing nothing out of the ordinary chief.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::chuckles softly:: EO: I tried that, you'd end up frying the phaser array after about 8 shots, and unless you want a three point five minutes wait between each shot then you'll either have to go with penetration or power
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Punching a few keystrokes:: CIV: Good idea, it's worth a try.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<EEO> TO: I have shields charging, 53%.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
*CTO*: Yes, yes of course. Thank you.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
ECO: One female minister for Morach affairs Seli, has been quite outspoken within the assembly against the war.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Asks the computer for a display as to what the combination attack would do::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::glares at her console seeing all her efforts were for naught because the satellite is down:: CSO: I hope you got everything you needed, we're cut off now
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The new formula produces a few string of red line to be highlighted by the computer - it appears the new mix, when added to the unique Airilian/Laquiexian DNA strain, would cause the DNA strain to tear itself apart...in time of course...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<EEO> TO: 56%.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Furrows his brow:: D'Aur: Where'd you come from? What's putting me in danger?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> EEO: Keep at it, we need full shields.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Interesting...::She smiles:: CO: Orders sir? Do we return to the Assembly with our evidence?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: looks at the burnout rate and seems to stare off into the distance for a moment.  after a few seconds he taps a few more buttons on the display. *CSO* I think I might have a solution for that...the array amplifies power by bouncing the beam through the array's filter...we change the angle of the filter refraction. a degree or two perhaps..
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
ECO, XO: Would make sense... the Morach are one of the species deemed "less" then the rest.... she could be the way in we need ?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
Computer: Display the results of the viral attack with the acids I selected.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Taps an inquiry into the computer, asking for a time projection showing damage caused over time.::  CMO: We seem to be getting somewhere.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
ACTION: Sparks fly from MacAllister's console as he reconnects a power coupling.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CSO* And then we shunt the access heat through the length of the arrays distribution matrix...dissipating the excess heat and allowing us a 10% increase in phaser damage....how is that?
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The audio playback on Lai's tricorder speaks, mimicking D'Aur's ghost-like voice..."War will come to this vessel, and she will not survive. You are in danger, Dandin...please. I don't want to lose you again..."
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  ECO, XO: It seems that if we can contact or visit this Minister we can get our points across...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::shakes his head and checks to see if the shields are charging::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The computer shows a diagram on Abmeraz's display - it appears that within 24 hours of the virus being deployed, many of the vessel's primary systems will be inoperable...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods in agreement with the CO::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: well, we have more than we did when we started - lets send this data up to the bridge, and start replicating it for delivery in torpedo casings.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
*EO*: That could work...::smiles softly and brings up the specs:: If you can angle the refraction about 2.6 degrees inward...For the heat distribution, it's be easier if you go a team or two to run and put an energy-invertion unit to each of the array heat couplings, that way you can channel off the excess heat and refilter it back out through array
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
*EO*: Every shot would then charge up the inverter, power it through the array, and give us an extra kick in each shot
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Commander, if you have a moment.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The Delar child begins to go nuts inside it's mother, kicking violently...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods at the CIV:: CIV: Okay, sounds like a good idea.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: That’s better than I anticipated.  If that’s the damage over 24 hours, then they would be severely weakened after 6 hours.  Now it's up to the tactical department to keep us in one piece for those six hours.......
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Lieutenant, can you possibly locate the Minister in question ?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<EEO> TO: Shields at 96% and holding.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:;another thought enters her mind she notices the CSO is busy and turns to the FCO:: FCO: How are the stars looking? ::glances at Xia with a smile::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Relays the data to the tactical team, and to the bridge::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CTO and steps across to him:: CTO: What is it?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
:;turns to the Captain:: CO: I can have a go, Captain
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Gets up from under the console too quickly at the strange message, and knocks his head. He gets a large gash, and holds it with his hand::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CIV: Just lucky for me to have you around, I wouldn't be able to have done it this far.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CSO: Please do, Lieutenant...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::continues::  CSO: And possible isolate her so we can beam her up and speak to her on let's say... neutral territory?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: Doctor, i would not have succeeded in this without your help.  MY knowledge of gentics is....  shaky, to out it mildly.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Just a heads up Commander, I have shields charging, currently at 68% and Torpedo launchers running at full power.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::brings up the sensor manager and pulls up the records to the minister in question, running a quick trace throughout the scannable region::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: adds the CSO's recommendation  to the simulation, sending the proposed equation to both the CTO's console and the CO's data store so that he can review it. ::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> EEO: Can we get it up to 100%?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::oh, and has sent the data to the EO as well::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<EEO> TO: I'll try. ::taps a few buttons and brings the shields up to full power::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and gets a lock:: CO: She's alone in her office, Captain. I've got her tagged ready for a beam up.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::looks up:: XO: What?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CTO: Thank you, How soon do we expect the shields to be fully functional? ::glances to the FCO briefly::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CNO: Now, doctor, if you don’t mind, i can't remember when last i ate, slept or showered.  I need food.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: I'd say about ah hour Commander, we're up to 70%.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: notices the data sent by the CIV and cackles. Seeing a new project always gets his mood in high hopes. :: *CIV*: I see you have given me a gift...what may I help you with?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CSO: Excellent... prepare to beam her to my readyroom...  ECO, XO: If you two would like to follow me please...?  ::gestures towards the readyroom entrance doors::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Blood begins to poor all over, the black liquid oozing between Lai's fingers and leaking into the bulkhead as it had before...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Smiling a bit relieved:: CIV: Mind if I go with you for a bite? I don't think I have eaten enough either.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::preps the beam up, signaling it for the Captain's command:: CO: Just shout energize, Captain, and the computer will beam her up
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
EO: The doctor and I developed your virus idea.  those are the results.  I'm going to eat and sleep before we get into a shooting war.  I hope that little idea of ours helps us win.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Walks out of sickbay, in the general direction of his quarters.::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles with a nod:: CTO: Reassuring thank you. ::looks to the FCO:: FCO: A ::thinks of the words:: friend advised us to watch the stars.
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Kaimana nods and stands up, patting Delar on the shoulder:: CSO: Good work, Lieutenant...::The tall Kriosian woman moves off towards the Captain's office::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
Self: Oh, not again... ::Runs into his office and grabs the emergency regenerator from his drawer. He runs it over his wound::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Beam her up on my command and then standby to relay us detailed information on the proof needed to convince her... ::smiles::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<TO> COM: Scimitar: CTO: We have everything online except phasers sir, working on them now.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::begins moving towards his readyroom::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
COM: Eridanus: TO: Acknowledged, keep at it, MacAllister out.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CO and follows behind both the Commanding officers::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CIV*: Understood sir...perhaps I can even solve galactic hunger and peace while I am at it...I seem to be on a role...have some Chicken Kiev when your down at the Officer's Mess...it is truly a most wondrous gift...Kamarov out.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::strips off his uniform, and passes out on the bed, not bothering to pull the sheets over himself::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:;wonders if kidnapping a minister is a good way to make friends, sees little options so does not contest this::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Heads for his quarters, after directing some of the MO's to work on the other wounded::
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Things around Dandin begin to get dizzy and a haze takes over him. The dermal regenerator slips out of his blood covered hands and he falls over, passing out...leaving a trail of blood in his office...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@<EEO> TO: I've managed to get partial power to the forward Phaser array.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::fiddles with the Phaser emitters::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::begins to dream::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
XO: Wise friend,ma'am
Host ECO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The Delar baby suddenly calms...the kicking ceases...and Brenna Delar feels as D'Aurayen Alezka fades away, the child spirit gone...his warning message given, and his task completed...
