Last time on the Scimitar: The Scimitar was ordered to remain in the area to monitor the Borg cube, after some apparent mix-up with their orders. They had brought on some Vroa wreckage, but they haven't discovered anything new - nothing that wasn't already in Starfleet records. Idrani is doing better and should be ready for some light duties, the doctor and Captain permitting. The Scimitar is awaiting some reinforcements from Starfleet, just in case the cube decides to take them on.

Begin mission: "Gearing Up" - Part VII

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Is standing at Tactical, reading through one of her many PADDs::

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::sits in her chair, eyeing the cube on the view screen, mind racing::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::enters the bridge to begin her shift. She nods to Vettel and takes the console::

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks up as Idrani walks onto the Bridge and smiles:: XO: Commander. I see Doctor Lee released you.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
XO: Commander, I am glad to see you on your feet again.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::staring at the drone, watching a facial tick twitch his lip:: Conway: You saw it that time, right?

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::Doesn't seem to notice Thalev's arrival, too preoccupied::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods as he walks down to the command center:: OPS: Thank you, Lieutenant. CO: For temporary duty, yes. Light hours, no big battles and all that.

CO Capt Rome says:
::stands up:: XO: Here, sit down old man.

MO Dr Conway says:
::smiles to himself:: CMO: I think you just blinked. I didn't see anything...

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Glances over at Idrani, giving him a quick once over, before returning to her reading::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::elbows Conway in the ribs::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::taps her console to resume monitoring communications and the progress on the cube::

EO Lt Smithers says:
::brings up the ship status on his console outside the warp core, the gentle hum of matter and antimatter colliding with the power of a thousand suns almost rocking him off to a gentle sleep::

MO Dr Conway says:
CMO: Ooof!

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::snaps her eyes to Thalev and smile, standing, glad for the distraction::

CO Capt Rome says:
AXO: Sara? Any news on our cavalry?

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Unfortunately, it's true. ::referring to 'old man'. Smiles at Sara as he sits down::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Conway: OK, watch closely. ::sends a minute electrical pulse to the drone's motor cortex:: Conway: See? ::smiles:: Conway: His nervous system is starting to kick in.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
CO: Roughly two hours, Captain. In the meantime, I've ordered all tubes loaded with quantum torpedoes, and rotating frequencies for all emitters.

CO Capt Rome says:
AXO: Efficient as always, Lieutenant.

MO Dr Conway says:
::whistles and taps on the biobed's console:: CMO: That's some progress. ::reviews the data on the drone's neural activity:: CMO: No change, though.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::nods, not taking too much pleasure in the compliment just yet; they wouldn't be much of a threat to a cube by themselves::

CO Capt Rome says:
CTO: Feyna, keep your eyes on that Cube! OPS: Saprin, you have the Bridge. See if you can get some good scans while we sit and wait.

CO Capt Rome says:
XO/AXO: Ready room.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::raises an eyebrow, and follows the Captain::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::nods::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I just sat down... ::gets up::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Has one ear on the bridge update, and hears her name:: CO: I have sensors on it Captain.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Gestures at the PADD in her hands::

CO Capt Rome says:
::walks into the ready room:: XO: Stop complaining.

EO Lt Smithers says:
::frowns deeply as the intermix ratio falls off by 0.0002%, pausing for a moment and then giving the console one hard bash with the side of his hand. Smiles again as the ratio goes back up to normal levels:: Self: Eyyyyy...

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Should have let me die if you didn't want complaining. ::walks into the ready room::

CO Capt Rome says:
::as the doors close:: XO: You would follow me past the grave anyway.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::brushes some hair out of her eyes and grins over at Conway:: Conway: One thing at a time. ::fiddles with a few controls::

CO Capt Rome says:
AXO: I have been reading your performance reports during my absence, Lieutenant.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::eyes the Captain, wondering what this is about, then perks up:: CO: Oh?

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CTO: I cannot get an estimate on their engines. But from the rate of repairs so far, the cube might be operational in two or three hours. We should have a plan if it becomes active before reinforcements arrive.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Is feeling a tad twitchy still being so close to the cube, and her finger starts tapping very quietly against the side of the report::

CO Capt Rome says:
AXO: Idrani had nothing but good things to say about your command performance, and I have to agree. We don't see eye to eye, but that is what I expect from my command staff.

EO Lt Smithers says:
::brings up the overview scans of the Cube, matching it up with previous information gleaned by Starfleet on Borg ship regeneration to keep working on a timeline::

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::nods some:: CO: Thank you, Captain.

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at Thalev before continuing::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
AXO/CO: Be hard pressed to find someone who did see eye to eye with you more often, Jonathan.

CO Capt Rome says:
::grins some::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Conway: Focus your attention on his motor cortex for now. When we get to his occipital lobe juiced up, I want to know about it.

CO Capt Rome says:
AXO: We've spoken at length about this, and even though I have some reservations about the... nature of your relationship in this regard... I have decided to make you Second officer, with the duties and responsibilities that entails.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::jumps as she sees the drone's finger twitch:: Conway: Gah!

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::glances to Thalev, then to the Captain, wearing small smile:: CO: I... thank you, sir. I'll do my best.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Finishes reading, and looks down at the console to be able to get the most recent sensor scans::

CO Capt Rome says:
::raises a finger:: AXO/XO: If I see so much as a wink between you two on the Bridge, I will revoke it.

MO Dr Conway says:
CMO: I saw it! ::punches the air:: We're getting there.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: It's okay, we'll do it behind your back as always. AXO: Well deserved, Sara.

CO Capt Rome says:
::smiles::

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::nods, smiling warmly at Thalev:: CO/XO: I'll be professional.

CO Capt Rome says:
XO/AXO: Thalev, I want you back when you feel ready. Until then, Sara is there to assist you.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods, seriously now:: CO: Noted.

CO Capt Rome says:
XO/AXO: Good. Dismissed.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::nods, and heads for the bridge, still trying to process what just happened::

EO Lt Smithers says:
::passes the Cube repairs off to someone else and brings up the shield and weapon modulation subroutines, filtering through them with information from active scans of the Borg weapons systems and Vroa ship damage to make sure they get the most out of their defenses::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::waits for the AXO to depart:: CO: What's the plan, Jonathan? Bring me up to speed, if you would.

CO Capt Rome says:
::sighs:: XO: Starfleet wants us to wait... an active Borg cube just as the Vroa wage war... it needs to be dealt with. But I'd rather not take them on.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::looks to Feyna:: CTO: How's our readiness, Ensign?

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::taps her comm badge:: *CO*: Doctor Lee to Captain Rome, sir, we have made progress with John Doe, sir. We have a central nervous system that is regenerating well, sir. All going well his other biological functions should follow shortly. ::can't keep the pride out of her voice::

EO Lt Smithers says:
::grumbles, resting his elbows on the console and staring at the data, running through modulation trials over and over again to make the tiniest adjustments:: Self: This is going to take a while...

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: So... we wait. ::turns:: Understood. ::heads out of the ready room, not wanting the conversation to go down the path that would lead to an argument::

ACTION: Passive sensors show the Cube rotating 45 degrees on its X-axis.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Looks up at Sumner:: AXO: Everything is as you requested, Lieutenant. Tubes are loaded, rotating modulations, and all teams are on standby.

CO Capt Rome says:
::taps his badge, annoyed with the interruption:: *CMO*: Thank you doctor. Please direct your reports to Lieutenant Sumner or Commander Idrani regarding the drone from now.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::puts the cube on screen:: AXO/CTO: They are moving.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::sits down on the bridge::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
*CO*: Er.. yes sir. Understood. ::would have assumed the CO would want to know about progress on the drone, since he was so against the damn thing only a day ago...:: Lee out.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::swallows softly and nods at the view screen:: CTO: Battle stations. ::taps her combadge:: *CO*: Captain to the bridge; the cube is moving, sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
::grunts as he runs a hand through his hair, not wanting that thing on his ship::

CO Capt Rome says:
::steps out of the Ready room, his eyes on Feyna:: CTO: Status?

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Looks up at Rome, thinking he needs some sleep:: CO: The cube has rotated. It doesn't seem to have increased in hostility, and the threat to us doesn't seem to have increased by the movement.

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Saprin, send a message to the Jackson and update them. See if they can't nudge a few cochranes out of the old gal.

MO Dr Conway says:
CMO: Core temp is up a degree and a half...

CTO Ens Feyna says:
CO: We knew before that their engines were to come online before their weapons systems.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: Yes sir. ::prepares a quick report detailing the cube's status and asking the Jackson to increase speed if possible.::

ACTION: A green light springs from the cube, running over the Scimitar, then just as abruptly it disappears again.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Conway: And his cardiopulmonary system? ::runs a scan on his cranium, searching for signs of life::

CO Capt Rome says:
CTO: I don't want to risk it. ::looks stricken as a green hue lights up the Bridge::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::accesses internal sensors to figure out what the light was::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::swallows::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
All: They seem to have fixed their sensors.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::has a slight sick feeling in her stomach as the green moves over her, and quickly looks at her sensors::

EO Lt Smithers says:
::pulls up a status report after the scan happened, checking for any problems it may have caused::

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at Idrani, worried that he may just have signed their death certificates::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
OPS/CO: Agreed. It looks like they just scanned us

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Any transmissions?

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::catches the COs look, and curses inwardly at him::

ACTION: The Jackson replies that they have increased speed to above maximum cruising speed and should arrive in 20 minutes.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
CTO/OPS: Is there anything we can do to slow their repairs? Key areas we can weaken?

MO Dr Conway says:
CMO: Intermittent electrical impulses... I'm attempting to regulate.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: Checking ... meanwhile the Jackson reports their ETA is 20 minutes.

CO Capt Rome says:
XO: You have experience when it comes to the Borg.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Not very successful experience, you might have noticed. The problem with the Borg is how well they adapt.

EO Lt Smithers says:
::hurriedly sends his new weapon and shield modulation subroutines up to Tactical for analysis:: *CTO*: Tactical, this is engineering. I'm sending you some new modulations to play with just in case this ends in a brawl.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
AXO: If we are willing to fire first, we can try to hit their distribution nodes.

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Good. Tell Captain Melvin that he gets a bottle of scotch if he makes it 15.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: I am sure he will be happy to hear it. As for the cube, we did pick up transmissions but I was not able to trace them or identify them.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Conway: What did Idrani say him name was again? ::glances down at the readouts::

MO Dr Conway says:
CMO: Remet...

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I suggest we do nothing, Captain.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::sends the message directly to Captain Melvin as text::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Notes the configuration on the screen, and makes it a back-up modulation in case her ones aren't successful:: *EO*: Acknowledged, I have them. Let's hope we won't need to use them.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::looks to Rome:: CO: Captain? We may need to consider opening fire on the cube before reinforcement arrives.

ACTION: Melvin replies that it had better be the good stuff.

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at the cube::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::sees a spike in neural activity:: Drone: Remet... ::watches for a similar spike::

EO Lt Smithers says:
*CTO*: We can only hope. Smithers out.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::redirects Melvin's reply to the Captain's chair::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
AXO/CO: I have to strongly disagree. No point whipping the horse when the stable is still closed.

CO Capt Rome says:
XO/AXO: We sit still. They won't bother with us unless they consider us a threat.

CO Capt Rome says:
::raises an eyebrow at Thalev::

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::nods some:: OPS: ETA on their weapons, Saprin?

CTO Ens Feyna says:
CO: I would have to concur with the Commander, Captain. We should not draw attention to ourselves unless it is the last course of action.

CO Capt Rome says:
aFCO: Prepare a course to rendezvous with the Jackson, maximum warp. Only on my word.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
AXO: It is hard to say with only passive scans. They might be ready, or nearly so.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Conway: I'm glad we're doing all of this after we removed his weapons and assimilation gear, but I'm still a bit freaked... ::swallows and watches the drone's face twitch involuntarily as his nervous system starts to reassert itself::

FCO Vasquez says:
::nods, and plots a course:: CO: Course prepared, sir.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::wonders if the CTO is agreeing to get on his good side or if she really thinks that, then corrects himself for thinking such things::

CO Capt Rome says:
::walks towards Feyna and lowers his voice:: CTO: I want to know who told you about this cube.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
AXO: Before I was taken ill, you were having some of the fighters changed into weapons... are they still available?

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::glances over to Thalev:: XO: They should be. Five fighters, rigged with additional torpedoes and for remote operation.

MO Dr Conway says:
CMO: His tachycardia! ::sounds delighted, despite the inherent danger of having a malfunctioning heart:: CMO: Defibrillator ready...

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Looks up at Rome, with a question in her expression, and speaks equally quietly:: CO: No one told me about it. I told you before, I found a civilian filed report about it. I have it if you want to see it.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
AXO: Please ensure they are ready should this turn ugly. They could pack quite a punch.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::hold sup a hand:: Conway: Hang on... ::holds her breath, staring at the scribbly line on the drone's bio readouts.::

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::nods, and looks to Vasquez to relay the order to the TIC::

CO Capt Rome says:
CTO: Someone doctored our orders... I know where you come from, Ensign. I want to know if you had any part in that.

ACTION: Up in TIC personnel scramble to get the fighters ready for action.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::She shook her head slightly, continuing to look at him, seeing even more clearly that he needs sleep:: CO: I know nothing about that. I thought that was you.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::glances over to the CO and CTO and wonders what she's done this time, then remembers she was the one who reported the Borg - could it be Dixon himself sent her under pretense of protecting Rome in order to lure him here to die?::

CO Capt Rome says:
::shakes his head slowly:: CTO: You have connections. Find out who did. Report only to me.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
CO: I only have limited resources. If I had more I'd have been the one assigning you protection detail, not being it...

ACTION: The passive scans indicate that the cube's engines are starting to come online.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::fights to ignore the growing pit in her stomach; she'd still yet to be in a command position in a battle::

CO Capt Rome says:
CTO: Don't make me repeat myself. I want it done.

CO Capt Rome says:
::walks back towards the command circle::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Glares slightly at Rome:: CO: Yes Sir

OPS Lt Saprin says:
All: The cube's engines are active.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Walks to the replicator, and orders a raktajino::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::watches the drone's heart rate slowly improve and breathes a sigh of relief. Looks sideways at Conway, defibrillator in his hand:: Conway: Didn't want to short out all his tech. ::smiles:: Conway: OK, let's let him recover from all that for a while. Monitor his neural activity over the next hour, and report any changes to his motor functions.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::watches the view screen, and consciously aware of how much he loathes the Borg. Stands:: CO: I am going to get an update from Sickbay.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Picks up the drink, and takes it to the command circle:: CO: Your coffee, Sir.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::can't remember who the CO told her to report to::

CO Capt Rome says:
::walks closer to Saprin:: OPS: Whatever happens, keep that subspace dampening field in Sickbay operational.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::turns towards Feyna:: CTO: We may want to station security teams in key areas, in case of boarding.

ACTION: The cube rotates another 90 degrees, hiding the damaged hull from the Scimitar.

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks up at Feyna, and just accepts the drink::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::enters the turbolift::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::leans back on the biobed right behind her and takes a chance:: *XO*: Doctor Lee to Commander Idrani.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Gives Rome a look as he takes the cup from her, before silently moving back to the Tactical station::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks into Sickbay:: CMO: You rang, Doctor?

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::frowns towards the Captain briefly::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Glances at the AXO:: AXO: I already have teams in what I felt like were the most likely areas to be boarded. If you have any other suggestions, I'd be open to them.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: Yes sir, I will make sure it has power at all times. Perhaps if the guest in sickbay ever wakes up, he can give us information on that cube and its weaknesses.

CO Capt Rome says:
::watches Feyna walks away, then takes a sip of his coffee... one day he would have to challenge her to a game of chess::

ACTION: The cube starts moving towards the Scimitar, no sign of active weapons.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::makes sure the view screen follows the cube::

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::Shakes her head:: CTO: I trust your judgment. ::looks to the screen as the cube moves::

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Good idea...tell the doctor.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::face brightens up considerably on seeing the XO:: XO: You're looking well, Commander. Glad to see it. ::turns away from the drone they have safely fastened in the alcove H'Ret built.:: XO: Just reporting progress, sir. ::nods in the drone's direction:: XO: His biological functions are kicking in.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CMO: Well, that's good. And his link to the Borg?

CO Capt Rome says:
::moves to his seat and sits down::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::sighs a little, wishing she'd been a tad more friendly to Sumner, but Rome had riled her::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Looks at her console:: CO: The cube is moving Sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
FCO: Move us back, match their speed.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
XO: Still severed. But we're checking to make sure his nano-probes don't start to rebuild his transponder. We haven't managed to totally eliminate re-growth yet, but we have it down to a minimum.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
CO: Still no sign of active weapons

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::pauses:: CMO: Do you think there's any chance that he could... recover?

FCO Vasquez says:
::brings the ship about and tries to maintain their original distance from the cube::

CO Capt Rome says:
CTO: Thank you Ensign.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
CO: But it's definitely moving towards us aggressively.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::folds her arms, leaning harder on the biobed behind her. Turns her head in the XO's direction:: XO: I have to hope so. Else, what's the point?

CO Capt Rome says:
CTO: I think the Borg have no other means of moving.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CMO: I hope so too, Doctor. I've been in his shoes. But hope doesn't fix anything. Medically, what are the odds?

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: ETA on the Jackson?

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CTO: I believe that if they intended to harm us, they would have done so already.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: They should drop from warp at any moment.

ACTION: The cube keeps moving in a straight line, jumping to warp just as the USS Jackson and the other ships enter the system.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
XO: For him, slim... but, watch this... ::steps forward, within a few feet of the drone:: Drone: Remet... ::waits for the readouts to indicate a spike in neural activity, sees it and smiles::

CO Capt Rome says:
::leans forward as the Cube disappears:: CTO: Where did it go?

OPS Lt Saprin says:
All: We were not its target indeed... ::tracks the cube as much as possible::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CMO: So you were able to confirm he is indeed Remet? And those readings... is it because he recognizes the name?

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Looks frantically at her readings::

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Get me Captain Melvin.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::opens a channel to the Jackson:: CO: On screen.

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::can't decide if she's relieved or disappointed::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Calms herself by careful controlled breathing:: CO: It's leaving federation space Captain.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
XO: I wish I could say it was definite, perhaps he knew Remet, or is just reacting to the sound of my voice, but... Drone: Pineapple... ::sees the readings fail to fluctuate so strongly as before:: XO: There's a good chance...

CO Capt Rome says:
::nods to Feyna::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
XO: You said you knew him.

Captain Melvin says:
@COM: CO: Captain. Seems we missed the party.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks to the replicator and orders himself some toast:: CMO: Apologies, I find eating small snacks throughout the day puts less strain on my abdomen. ::looks at the drone:: XO: I think I do. It's vague. And I feel less certain now than I did when I first mentioned it.

CO Capt Rome says:
::smiles:: COM: Jackson: Capt: Seems so... what are our orders?

CMO LtJG Lee says:
XO: Don't eat that!!!

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::startled at the CMO, he chokes on the toast, but successfully coughs it out:: CMO: Excuse me?

Captain Melvin says:
@::matches the smile:: COM: CO: Well, my orders are to make sure it's out of Federation space, by itself or by heavy weapons fire. ::as he speaks the other ships warp out of the system following the cube::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::recovers some of her composure after she's made sure the XO wasn't about to take a bite:: XO: Sorry, I just... How are you doing on complex carbohydrates?

CO Capt Rome says:
COM: Jackson: Capt: I'd say you were successful. Reliable old Melvin. ::smiles:: Then I take it we're not to pursue?

Captain Melvin says:
@COM: CO: No, not this time. I think your orders should be arriving soon. Some stink back at HQ about mismatched orders or something.

CO Capt Rome says:
::sighs:: COM: Jackson: Capt: So they tell me. We will scout the area, see if we can pick up any traces to bring to R&D. You take care of yourself ok?

Captain Melvin says:
@::nods:: COM: CO: You too. I had better catch up or the others will have all the fun without me. Melvin out.

CO Capt Rome says:
::nods::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CMO: Haven't tried any, yet. But back to Remet.. ::puts down the toast carefully:: I want to assist in his recovery. Or attempted recovery.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Overhears the comment about mismatched orders, and watches Rome closely::

ACTION: The Jackson warps out of the system after the other ships, leaving the Scimitar with some Vroa wrecks.

CO Capt Rome says:
FCO: Take us to the Cube's original position.

FCO Vasquez says:
::does so::

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Scan the system, let's see if they left us something.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: Yes sir, running a full sensor sweep of the system.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Writes an encrypted message outlining her situation, and sends it with increased security::

CO Capt Rome says:
CTO: Stand down from yellow alert... we got lucky this time.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::tilts her head to the side. Glad to see him abandon the toast:: XO: We'll try you on something gentler in a little while. You have a lot of recovering to do yet. ::smiles:: XO: But yes... I... any insights you can give would be useful, sir. The database is full of conflicting techniques for restoring a drone to individuality. We're mostly groping in the dark, here.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
::Takes the ship off Yellow Alert::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
CMO: I know... but... I've been through what he'll have to go through. If I can make it any easier, I'd like to try.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::turns her attention to the debris from the original battle::

CO Capt Rome says:
::returns to his seat::

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::sits down and lets out a slow sigh, neck sore from stress::

CO Capt Rome says:
AXO: So... what did you do today? ::grins::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::nods, approving:: XO: Thank you sir. But please remember what it took to get yourself through everything that happened. If you feel it'd be too much, would be too much of a strain on yourself... ::pauses, not sure how to say what she needs to say without insulting the XO's Andorian pride:: XO: If he's going to make it, he will...

AXO Lt Sumner says:
::glances over to the Captain:: CO: The usual.
