Last time on the Scimitar...

The Scimitar crew arrived at the starbase. Leaving the CEO in charge, the CO, XO and CIV went to intercept Shinra. After cornering her and showing her the evidence, she was decidedly shocked but stated she was not ready to leave just yet. The CO has delegated the XO go with Shinra to the meeting. Meanwhile, the CEO's cover is potentially blown as the Station Commander sees through his ruse and has dispatched a security team.

CO Capt Rome 
@XO: Please follow the Admiral, keep an eye out. Just don't raise suspicions
CEO Ensign Peake 
::In control of the bridge, dealing with the SCO:: COM: SCO; No need to overreact! I was MIA, captured by Orion pirates, and the Scimitar picked me up. It didn't show up in the records because we haven't transferred that data over to Starfleet because of a repair.
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@CO: Aye, Captain
CO Capt Rome 
@XO: I'll try and deal with the SCO.

CSO Lt Powers 
@::gets up from his table quickly and bumps into York::

@ ::stalks into the starbase bar with a very cross expression on her face::
William_York 
@::spills his beer:: CSO: What the? YOU !
CO Capt Rome 
@*CSO*: Powers, stay on base. I will try and deal with the Starbase Commander. Just keep an eye out on those sensors.
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@Shinra: So who is the ambassador we...erm...you are meeting, Admiral?
FCO Ensign Uax
@:: after finishing her snack Stephanie heads up to the operations deck to check in::
CO Capt Rome 
@::walks into Starbase operations:: All: So, who asked to see me? Captain Jonathan Rome, USS Scimitar.
CSO Lt Powers 
@::glares at York:: York: You ought to watch where you're going.
CSO Lt Powers 
@::turns aside briefly while he answers the CO:: *CO*: Aye sir.
Rynia_Solaa 
@York: WILL! I knew I'd find you here! You idiot! You're supposed to be-- ::sees Powers:: CSO: John?
Admiral Shinra
@ XO: Ambassador Heepe' Tiedus of the Germm people
William York
CEO: Stuff it, Doc. What the hell are you doing here? ::pushes him further away:: You owe me a new beer.
FCO Ensign Uax 
@:: walking into operations and see her commanding officer and snaps to attention :: CO: Sir..
William York
@Ryn: Ryn, baby. Look who I met. ::tries to look innocent:: It's the doc! ::grabs him into a sidehug and grins::
CO Capt Rome 
@FCO: Stephanie, glad you could join us. Please wait while I speak to the Captain.
CSO Lt Powers 
@:: curses under his breath:: Ryn: Hi Ryn. York was just telling me how he had to get away. I found him like this.
Rynia_Solaa 
@::is still very irritated:: CSO: Well if it isn't my two favorite alcoholics... funny that I'm also finding you at a bar too, John. ::scowls at Will with her hands on her hips::
William York
::pushes his elbow into Powers' ribs:: Ryn: Honey, sorry. I just went for a walk.
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@::turns a corner and takes in the environment:: Shinra: Never met anyone from the Germm people, are they a Federation member?
SCO Cmdr Kelly
CO: Captain Rome, there is someone on your Bridge refusing to cooperate, we have received strange readings from your engineering section. ::points to a wall showing readouts of the Scimitar::
FCO Ensign Uax 
@CO: Aye sir.. :: steps away from the captains ::
Rynia_Solaa 
@York: That's a lie! You know that you were supposed to meet me AN HOUR AGO in the Arboretum. ::turns to the CSO:: CSO: However, it is really great to see you again, John. Is your ship docked here?
Admiral Shinra 
XO: Not per se, they fall under the Ferengi portion of space but they don't recognize them as their 'rulers'
William_York
::shrugs:: Ryn: I'm sorry, I ran into some friends. They offered me a drink....you know how it is. But I was on my way to see you when the good doc spotface here stopped me.
CSO Lt Powers 
@Ryn: It's good to see you too. Yes my ship's docked. We just completed a mission and are due some time off. I've been drinking coffee by the way.
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: Coffee? You must be on duty then... ::looks around the bar::
CO Capt Rome 
@SCO: No need to worry Captain, my engineering crew us running an experiment. It's completely safe, but also very secret. So I would ask you not to interfere with a very tiresome and expensive research by sending your wrenchmonkeys over there. ::puts some steel into his voice::
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@ ::enters the meeting rooms, noting how the decor gets more and more pricey::
CSO Lt Powers 
@Ryn: Well, I've still got a few reports and things to wrap up. Dr. Karl won't do them for me anymore. ::tries to hide the PADD with the sensor readings behind his back::
SCO Cmdr Kelly
CO: I checked, Captain. The Scimitar has not been assigned any recent research.
CSO Lt Powers 
@Ryn: York was trying to lead my astray. I kept telling him I wasn't drinking and to slow down but he kept buying and drinking two at a time.
William_York
CSO: Hey, what you hiding prettyboy? ::grabs the PADD::
CO Capt Rome 
SCO: SFI, Captain. They don't write these things down. If you want, I can have you talk to my SFI liason in my crew, he can explain the problem to you and then you can explain to SFI why you tried to interfere.
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: That sounds like him. ::mumbles under her breath:: Deadbeat husband...
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: Hey! Hand that back. I'm working on that. Ryn: You see what I'm dealing with here?
Admiral Shinra 
::enters the room, smiling at the man opposite her:: Heepe: Ambassador, a pleasure to meet you again
William_York
::smiles at Ryn:: Ryn: Babe, I'm sorry. Don't believe this joker tho, look. He's not doing reports. ::hands her the PADD::
Heepe' Tiedus 
@::does a funny gesture, looking like the 70's classic 'YMCA' ::
FCO Ensign Uax 
@:: Steps out of the operations centre and goes about finding something to do ::
SCO Whatshisname
CO: Fine, that won't be necessary....for now. If this "research" starts to interfere with station operations, I will take action.
Rynia_Solaa 
@York: Well THAT was obvious. ::smiles at the CSO:: CSO: You should have lied and said you were drinking synthahol. ::winks::
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: Don't make me tell Ryn what the nice barmaid with the rather unique chest told me you said to her.
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@ ::suppresses a hearty laugh and manages a bow of his head::
William_York
@::slaps Powers over the head:: CSO: When will you grow up, she's with me. This is pathetic, even for you mate.
Admiral Shinra 
::repeats the gesture but as ACMY ::
CO Capt Rome 
::storms out of the operations center:: FCO: With me, Ensign.
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: You keep drinking like that and we'll see. ::mumbles something about him being a drunk in the future::
FCO Ensign Uax 
@CO: Understood! :: walks step for step with the Captain ::
CO Capt Rome 
@FCO: We need to get back to the Scimitar, find out what readings are coming from the time machine and work with the CEO to fix it.
CO Capt Rome 
@::steps into a turbolift with Stephanie:: TL: Docking port 5B
FCO Ensign Uax 
@CO: I would agree.
Heepe' Tiedus 
Shinra: And thisss ma-an? ::points his nose at Ren::
CO Capt Rome 
@FCO: We can't afford any mistakes now, not here.
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: So what's the deal? I'm off-duty today but I do work in Starbase Ops now. ::winks at him::
William_York
@::grabs the PADD back:: CSO: Why are you watching the skies for other vessels?
FCO Ensign Uax 
@CO: I would agree. No mistakes no leaving an impression we were here.
Admiral Shinra 
@Heepee': My - ::glances at Ren:: my temporary yeoman.
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: I'm thinking about a change in career. ::looks at Ryn and smiles:: I was thinking maybe science officer on a starbase.
CO Capt Rome 
::steps onto the Scimitar's Bridge with the FCO in tow:: CEO: REPORT, ENSIGN!
William_York
CSO: That's my job, mate.
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@::remains silent and waits for the others to sit down::
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: I did notice that you had switched to Science... you were so brilliant as a doctor though!
CEO Ensign Peake 
::Nearly falls out of chair, then stands:: CO: Captain. I tryed to stall the SCO for as long as I could.
William_York
@Self: Brilliant at being a crybaby.
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: Oh, really? I heard it might be available soon. Ryn: I had to take over the Science station for a mission and found things much more exciting on the bridge.
CO Capt Rome
CEO: You really should consider an acting class, ensign. ::looks at him sternly:: Work with the FCO, stop this particle cloud from drawing attention to us.
William_York
@::glares at Powers:: CSO: You're hiding something. I can always tell when you're lying. All you ever do really.
Heepe' Tiedus 
::lowers his body down, keeping an eye on Ren:: Shinra: Let us discuss section forty five of the contract of agreements paragraph five bullet point three hundred and fifty two B
CEO Ensign Peake 
CO; Yes, sir.
Admiral Shinra 
@Heepee': Yes, let's... ::sits down and produces a PADD from no-where:: Heepee' :If you look at bullet point two hundred and five dash c you will see the key point in this discussion
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: That's the booze talking. Don't you think you'd be better off taking a nap or something. I'll look after Ryn for you while you do. We are both off duty after all.
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: Well, the doctor's coat suits you better I think. ::winks at him:: So what are you REALLY up to though? Maybe I can help? I do work in upper management these days. Red shirt and everything.
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@ ::thinks:: Self: I wonder if I get overtime for this stuff ::suppresses a yawn::
CSO Lt Powers 
@Ryn: As much as I'd like to tell you everything I really can't. Classified information and all that. I'm sure you understand.
FCO Ensign Uax 
CO: What's your plan?
CEO Ensign Peake 
FCO: Any idea on how we could contain this particle cloud?
CO Capt Rome 
FCO/CEO: Find out where these particles are coming from, and what they're made of.
CSO Lt Powers 
@::grabs the PADD back:: York: You could be in a lot of trouble for looking at that.
FCO Ensign Uax 
CO: I'd have to look, at this point I have no ideas. We could try a burst from the deflector array. Move them away.
William_York
@CSO: Really, what about you for scanning other Federation vessels for weapons? What are you doing, really? ::takes a step closer::
Heepe' Tiedus 
@Shinra: But I disagreed with section three dash five because the diplomatic clause five beta three two contravenes our own policy on redistribution of unions and representatives from the third working class as outlined in appendix F of the same document
CO Capt Rome 
CEO: Would draw too much attention, just try and plug the hole.
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: Why would I be scanning for weapons? I already know what weapons Federation vessels carry. Like I said before, I'm doing research for a new job.
CEO Ensign Peake 
CO: Aye. I'll run some scans on the particles.
William_York
::Stares him down angrily::
CSO Lt Powers 
@York: Why don't you get yourself another drink and let the grownups talk?
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: It does seem suspicious... ::smiles::
William_York
::leans in and whispers:: CSO: You've always been an idiot, doc. .... and you'll never, ever get your hands on her. You lost mate, get over it and shut it.
Admiral Shinra 
@Heepee': Understood, we will remove that; but if we do so, then we need to take into account that it will make the balance of section three and likely section eighty dash beta out of sync. We'd need to re-adjust the bullet points fifty through to eighty two of the terms of use of individuals under the weight of 200 metric pounds
Rynia_Solaa 
@York: William! I heard that! Stop being a babbling fool. You are being rather annoying today!
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@::attempts to follow the conversation but is failing::
William York
@::glances at the PADD, then smiles innocently at Ryn:: Ryn: Sorry hon, I'll just let you two catch up. I'll go do some work.
CSO Lt Powers 
@::glares at York but resists his regular urge to swing a fist at him for the good of the mission::
Rynia Solaa
@York: Yes well Jillian wants to go out with her boyfriend tonight so you better go home and sober up and watch Aelia.
William York
@::leans in and kisses her:: Ryn: Yeah, I'll get her to bed. ::smiles as he thinks of his little girl at home:: See you later babe.
Heepe' Tiedus 
@Shinra: You speak in correct terms, we shall have to raise it for consideration at a later junction. How about the fifth document presented to me? It seemed short and filled with invisible text that I could not read?
Admiral Shinra 
@Heepee': Which one? ::leans forward::
William_York
@CSO: Catch you later doc....
CSO Lt Powers 
@::tries to remember if this was the time that Ryn caught York in a compromising position with the babysitter::
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@ ::also leans forward to see::
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: My sister is our live-in nanny now. ::laughs::
Heepe' Tiedus 
@Shinra: This one ::holds up the PADD like device::
Admiral Shinra 
@Heepee': That.... ::keeps a straight face:: That is the lunch menu for the reception restaurant...
William_York
@::taps his badge as he walks away:: *SO*: Kittster, check on the Scimitar will ya. Just report to me if there's anything out of the ordinary.
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@::swallows his laugh, making him almost choke::
CSO Lt Powers 
@::snears at York as he leaves:: Ryn: Yes, I remember her helping out just after the birth. How have you put up with him all this time? He is a hateful little man.
CO Capt Rome 
CEO: Any progress?
Rynia Solaa 
@CSO: Well he only acts like this around you! ::laughs::
CEO Ensign Peake 
CO: I'm still running some scans. It's proving to be very difficult to scan this particle.
CSO Lt Powers 
@Ryn: I guess we bring the worst out in each other. How are you finding life on a starbase? Do you miss the action out there?
XO Cmdr Ro`kar 
@::makes a note to write that interaction in his memoirs::
CSO Lt Powers 
@Ryn: We could use a good CNS on the Scimitar. We've got Science covered by a great officer though so you'd have to leave York behind...
Rynia_Solaa 
@CSO: Oh it's not so bad. Much more stable and I don't miss the action at all! I'm the XO of this place so it always keeps me busy... that and Aelia. She's over a year old now.
