Last time on the USS Scimitar:
The crew conducted an investigation of the Freighter Moneybags.  The Scimitar called for Tow ships, which have engaged towlines to the Moneybags, and now all four vessels are just outside the Sol system having just dropped from warp.

@Winters: You will be in charge of the Fighter Wing.  While Captain Ian-Bandra will be in charge of the mission.  Commander Surk will command the freighter.

TO_Bishop says:
EO: You can stay and help with analysis of these isolinear chips.  And Engineering is over there.  :: nods toward station ::

Host Gen_K’tarn says:
@Captain: And I will provide back up with the IKS Raptor, a Bird of Prey.

Cmdr_Else says:
@::Wonders if he dare interrupt K'tarn to tell him that he has the information requested .... dithers a bit::

CEO_McLir says:
::Glares at guard::

Ops_Ander says:
Guard: I suggest you drop the attitude. Commander McLir is this ship's second officer. Whatever you're doing to this ship, you have to clear it with him.

EO_Toros says:
TO: Thank you, You have been of great help. :: Moves towards the engineering station and activates display::

*K’tarn* Sir, I would really like an explanation why this work is being done without my knowledge.

EO_Toros says:

Cmdr_Else says:
@<Gloria>: Else:  Um ..... we could be overheard .... this base is alive with bugs!

Host Gen_K’tarn says:
@Captain Ian-Bandra: How long will your LOA be?

CEO_McLir says:
::Mutters, more snoop and poop I bet::

TO_Bishop says:
CSO/EO: Sir, Ensign... can I get you anything from the replicator?

Cmdr_Else says:
@::Grins:: Gloria: I will take that risk ... if tonight is like last night?

CSOBandra says:
TO: Some hot chocolate if you would.

COIan-Ban says:
@General: I don't know.

EO_Toros says:
TO: Ahh, no thank you, first shift, and I'm on now. I'll be fine thank you.

Host Gen_K’tarn says:
@*CEO*  When I am finished here Captain Winters will explain it to you.  Until then you are to obey all orders from the Captain of the Guards. K'tarn out.

Host Gen_K’tarn says:
@::Frowns::

MO_Maor says:
::Enters the bridge and walks to the medical console::

EO_Toros says:
TO: All though maybe I could help with those chips.

Cmdr_Else says:
<Gloria>: ::Secretive smile::

Ops_Ander says:
::Knowing PRISM, he knows something big is up::

CEO_McLir says:

MO_Maor says:
::Finishes and heads to the turbolift again::

CTO_Bucha says:
::Stands back and keeps distance from guards....  scratches head....Capt. Winters::

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: Looks like there's a lot more going on than just some unauthorized repair work.

TO_Bishop says:
CSO: Here you are sir.

Cmdr_Else says:
@::Goes back to studying the gagh arrangements ... in hopes that it will not be for too long::

Host Gen_K’tarn says:
@Winters: Contact Commander Surk when you’re ready.

XO_Winter says:
@K'tarn: I will return to the Scimitar, and I will contact Commander Surk when we are ready to leave.

EO_Toros says:
CSO: Unfortunately, I'm not filled in to the duty report, so I will just look for anything suspicious.  I’ll run a few protocols of my own on this computer.  I know a few tricks that will speed up the process.

COIan-Ban says:
@::Beams back onto Scimitar::

CSOBandra says:
EO: Fine, anything that can help.

Host Gen_K’tarn says:
@Winters: Good.  Dismissed...good hunting and if you need me call.

CEO_McLir says:
Ops: Let me check in with "Captain" Winters and I'll talk more with you later.

EO_Toros says:
Self: Oh no.

CSOBandra says:
EO: Somewhat, good job, run a secondary analysis of that data though just to be sure.

FCO_Jamin says:
::Looks at Liara then at Steve:: CMO: What do you think?

Cmdr_Else says:
@::Snarls at the message and decides not to respond .... he has a friend on station that likes Gagh .... could mean he gets a favour in return::

CEO_McLir says:
XO: er, Captain?
