Host Bolitho says:
The Sovereign class USS Seleya is stuck in an alternate universe where the Borg have conquered the Alpha quadrant, the ship and its crew found themselves rescuing a Galaxy class Seleya

Host Bolitho says:
The Galaxy class vessel is an a mission to destroy a Borg Transwarp hub located in the Sol system.

Host Bolitho says:
Captain Richard Bolitho captain of the Galaxy class Seleya has beamed across to speak to the senior crew of the SC Seleya in an attempt to solicit their aid.

Host Bolitho says:
Upon beaming aboard Richard Bolitho attacked the Seleya's CSO claiming he was Borg and responsible for the death of their timeline Tam Lira and the Seleya's CO Kay Lee Pang

Host Bolitho says:
Bolitho soon found himself in the brig...meanwhile the GC's XO was damaged when a console she was working on exploded and she was beamed aboard the SC for medical attention

Host Bolitho says:
The SC Seleya towed the battered Galaxy class vessel into a nearby nebula where Borg sensors are unable to detect the two ships

XO_Muir says:
:: On the Bridge, in his chair, reading over Security Reports; and frowning at the fact that the Security Officers had left Captain Bolitho on his own. ::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Walks onto the bridge, holding his head::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Is sitting on an empty biobed in SB::

Computer: Please test Command Code's for Captain Richard Bolitho and Lt. Commander Keshir Suder; are either of these active?

::Standing outside the brig::

** Captain/Admiral **

CIV_Kavek says:
::returns to sickbay after a bathroom break::

XO_Muir says:
*CO* On my way, Ma'am.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
*XO* Thank you

Host Bolitho says:
<Ral> *CO* Captain Bolitho is requesting permission to address senior staff sir?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Walks over to Tactical and assumes it::

OPS_Jameson says:
Suder: You still nervous around me?  Did you get the chance to update your crew about me?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
*RAL* Captain Bolitho can wait until we are ready Ens ::grins:: I will send the Lt Darklighter to fetch him shortly

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Enters the brig::

Host Bolitho says:
CTO: I'm ready when you are Lt.

CIV_Kavek says:
CTO: Have you by any chance seen anyone leave here? That operations officer is so sentimental... I wouldn't be surprised if she released our hostage. ::thinks:: I mean... our guest.

XO_Muir says:
<Computer> Command Codes for Admiral Richard Boltho and Lt. Commander Keshir Suder are inactive.

CNS_DeLindt says:
CSO: I'm going down to the brig.  Captain Bolitho might be able to tell me a few things about what's going on.

Suder says:
::Without looking at OPS, still finds it very odd:: OPS: No...I’ve been here since you left me last. ::sighs in frustration and looks around for the MO:: OPS: Has Rick made any announcements yet?

XO_Muir says:
CSO: You have the Bridge.

XO_Muir says:
:: Moves from the main Bridge through to the Ready Room ::

XO_Muir says:
:: Approaches the Desk ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
XO: Aye aye. 

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Stalks to a Turbolift:: Turbolift: Brig.

XO_Muir says:
CO: Yes, ma'am?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Commander Captain Bolitho is going to address our crew with respects on how he wants us to help him ::Sighs::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks at Bolitho:: CO: As soon as I receive orders to move you sir then we'll go, just sit tight till then

OPS_Jameson says:
::Raises her eyebrows a little::  Suder: Captain Bolitho has been in contact with Lira-Bolitho.  I understand there will be a meeting at some point today

Host Bolitho says:
CTO: Would you be adverse to a little outside help on tactical Lt.?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Ensures that his phaser is in the holster::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Walks out of the Turbolift, having calmed down somewhat in the journey, sees the CTO:: CTO: May I speak with Mr. Bolitho?

XO_Muir says:
CO: Is this wise?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
*All senior crew* Please report to the Observation lounge please

XO_Muir says:
CO: We don't want him poisoning some of our own officers into helping him...

CIV_Kavek says:
::Enters sickbay and walks towards Jameson:: OPS: So, how is our beloved guest?

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Crosses his arms:: CO: I'm open to suggestions, but tactical on this vessel is mine

Host Bolitho says:
::Notices the CNS and gives him a rye smile as he hears the CO's comm::

MO_Cameron says:
::Gets up out of his chair and heads for the observation lounge::

Suder says:
::Nods:: OPS: That's all I wanted to know. ::sits up, finding it easier to move and swings her legs off the biobed:: OPS: Pass me that Tricorder will you?

XO_Muir says:
CO: We can't afford to loose this Seleya, and meddle in another reality.

OPS_Jameson says:
Suder: And by today, I guess I mean now

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Hears the comm and begins to glower again:: CTO: Nevermind.......

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks at the CNS and hears the comm:: CNS: No can do, we've got to go to the observation lounge

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Probably not .. but he does need out help ..... Just hear him out I am not going to say yes or no with out the crew’s in put

Suder says:
::Can't help but smile a little at OPS's comment:: OPS: That'd be me too, I guess... ::slips of the bio bed completely and walks over to OPS::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks at Suder with a little smirk on her face:: Suder: You aren't serious, are you?

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Nods to the sec officer to lower the field::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Walks very rapidly towards the closest Turbolift, hoping the CTO will follow him::

XO_Muir says:
CO: This isn't a democracy, ma'am... and this could lead to a full scale treason.

Host Bolitho says:
CTO: I wouldn't assume otherwise, my tactical officer on the Seleya has developed some unique countermeasures to the Borg and the modus operandi, I think she could help you out?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Puts her hand on her phaser::  Suder: Please go and sit back on the biobed.  I don't want to use this

XO_Muir says:
CO: I suggest posting security at all major access points, if that will do any good.

CIV_Kavek says:
::Frowns::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Nods:: XO: Agreed have all the command codes been removed ?

CNS_DeLindt says:
Turbolift: Observation lounge.

Host Bolitho says:
::Steps through the forcefield and offers his hands to the CNS:: CNS: Captain Richard Bolitho....

OPS_Jameson says:
CIV: Get some more security in here, so we can go to the meeting.  And remind them that Suder is not to handle ANYTHING

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Stands to one side and holds out his arm to the side:: CO: After you sir, and as I said I’m open to suggestions but you should know this ship is a Borg killer ::Grins::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Takes his class 4 neural disruptor from his holster and stands on guard:: Suder: You don't look ill to me.

Suder says:
::Looks mildly surprised:: OPS: I don't want you to use that either... ::moves forward a bit more, before noticing CIV:: CIV: Pardon? was that a lightly veiled threat or something? I’m out of practise...

Host Bolitho says:
::Heads for the nearest TL::CTO: I'll take your word on that Lt. but remember the Borg adapt...

XO_Muir says:
CO: Bolitho and Suder's command codes are both deleted from our systems. But as we don't know their capabilities, I suggest we watch them closely. Any minor mishap could bring the ship under their control, and I'm still forced to see them as a hostile element...

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Arrives in the observation lounge almost at a dead run, and paces around. ::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Backs out of sickbay... making certain that he doesn't turn his back on Jameson or Suder, they can't be trusted::  Suder: That wasn't lightly veiled at all. I've killed more people than there are cells in your body junior.

MO_Cameron says:
::Arrives in the Observation Lounge and sits down at one end, quietly::

OPS_Jameson says:
Suder: Sit down.  Now.  You are not a senior officer on this vessel.  Unless I am told otherwise by Captain Lira-Bolitho, you are not going anywhere

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Walks with Bolitho:: CO: I know, that's what makes them a good fight

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Feeling a little uneasy in the bridge::

CNS_DeLindt says:
:;Sits down and does some deep breathing, trying to calm down. ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* Hazzem to Captain Lira-Bolithio

Host Bolitho says:
::Looks at the CTO and lets out a sigh:: CTO: A good fight, they've killed Billions, assimilated Billions more and you classify them as a 'Good Fight'?? ::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge!

XO_Muir says:
CO: I need to make arrangements for the meeting. Am I dismissed?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Understood I think its best to se them that way for the time being once we have had the meeting maybe we should return them to their ship

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Nods to Muir:: *CSO* Yes Commander ?

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* Captain, Commander Suder just tried using her command codes; but her attempts failed

XO_Muir says:
:: Nods back to the CO as he leaves and exits onto the bridge ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* I'm becoming a little uneasy about this situation; something tells me is happening down in sickbay. Suggest we return Captain Bolitho to his cell, and send a security team to sickbay

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Takes a deep breath:: *CSO* Thank you for informing me commander, I will see you in the OBS lounge

XO_Muir says:
::Walks over to the helm and sits down, and removes a Type I phaser and tucks it into his uniform ::

Suder says:
::Looks a little amused. Chuckles lightly:: OPS: My, my, Jameson, you actually sound like you mean that! ::nods once but stays put:: Right, contact Lira then...

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Crosses his arms:: CO: I don't know the death toll here sir, I’m not from here remember, although I would say my feelings and attitude would be different if our situations were reversed, but just so you know, I want to help you, not just fix a hole or two in your hull and then send you off to die

XO_Muir says:
Computer: Lock out all Bridge consoles and vital systems to their assigned officers for this duty shift; and the Captain and I.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Walks out on to the bridge:: CSO: Get the Doctor to sedate her if necessary and send Sec ..  get Captain Bolitho up here

CIV_Kavek says:
*CTO*: Kavek to Darklighter. I'd like a six man escort of Ms. Suder. I want them heavily armed with their weapons on heavy stun.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Keeps her hand on the phaser, and full eye view on Suder::  Suder: Sit down on the biobed, and I will

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* Aye, Hazzem out

CIV_Kavek says:
*CTO*: Sickbay please.

CSO_Hazzem says:
*OPS* Hazzem to Commander Jameson, what's going on down there?

Host Bolitho says:
CTO: I appreciate your honest Lt. ::nods and exits the TL as it reaches the Bridge and strides across to the observation lounge::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Wonders what is taking everyone so long::

XO_Muir says:
:: Leans back in the helm, and thinks back to his own time as an FCO, when ships operations were less worrisome, and it was others making the decisions. ::

CTO_Darklighter says:
Self: Here we go *CIV* Six men heavily armed for one person, better be Hitler down there, sec team is on it's way

Host Bolitho says:
::Enters the OBS lounge and takes a seat directly in the middle of the table::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Follows Bolitho::

XO_Muir says:
:: Blinks slightly as he comes back to reality, and hits his badge ::

OPS_Jameson says:
*CSO*: Just having a little problem with Suder.  Can you get into contact with Tam for me, and see if she wants her at this meeting.  I'm a little busy at the moment.

XO_Muir says:
*CIV* Ambassador Kavek, this is Commander Muir. Is there any chance you can meet me before the staff meeting? It's a matter of utmost importance.

Suder says:
::Cocks her head:: OPS: I don't take kindly to orders...I don't...::ponders:: 'respond' well to them... I suggest you contact your superiors and we can sort this all out...

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Sees Bolitho enter, gets up and walks over to him.:: Bolitho: Counsellor DeLindt.  ::Offering his hand::

OPS_Jameson says:
Suder: Once you have sat down on the Biobed, with your hands in clear view

CSO_Hazzem says:
*OPS* Negative Commander, Commander Suder is to remain in sickbay, get the doctor to sedate her for now, there is a security team en route to sickbay and they will take care of it

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Enters the OBS lounge and stands by he door::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Get the Suder situation Sorted and get the senior crew to the OBS lounge now .. and if they need to bring Suder then so be it …..but on the double

CIV_Kavek says:
::Enters sickbay, neural disruptor once again aimed on Suder:: *XO*: Understood, I'll be right there wearing boots with a teapot on my head. ; ::looks at OPS:: OPS: I have to meet Muir. If she moves, I truly do hope you kill her. ::rushes out of sickbay::

Host Bolitho says:
::Rises to his feet:: CNS: Captain Richard Bolitho of the ....::smiles:: I think you know the rest Counsellor

OPS_Jameson says:
*CSO* Acknowledged.  Thanks Hazz

Suder says:
::Rolls her eyes at Hazzem's voice, not realising who it is...::

CNS_DeLindt says:
Bolitho: I think so.  Can we meet at some point?  I'd like to hear your story.

CSO_Hazzem says:
*OPS*  Once your done, you're needed at the Observation Lounge with the Ambassador, report your results once done, Hazzem out

Suder says:
::Raises a very surprised eyebrow and mouths the name OPS just said:: OPS: Hazz?...as in Abdel-Hamid?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Sighs and walks in to the OBS Lounge and sees Bolitho:: Bolitho: Captain I want that annoying XO of yours to behave other wise this meeting will not get under way

Host Bolitho says:
CNS: Lets see how this ...democratic vote goes CNS and I will gladly have a chat with you

Host Bolitho says:
CO: Understood Captain

OPS_Jameson says:
Suder: Let me guess, he's my second in command in the alternate dimension?  He's a good guy here.  That's all you need to know.

CNS_DeLindt says:
Bolitho, CO: Democratic?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Leaves the bridge and enters the lounge, stares at Bolitho for the longest time::

CIV_Kavek says:
::In Turbolift:: Computer: Hurry to the bridge. Emergency speed! Compromise my health if you have to.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Paces a round the OBS lounge more than annoyed::

Host Bolitho says:
::Whispers::CNS: Your CO has decided to allow me to put my plea for help to the ships senior staff

Suder says:
::Looks incredibly upset, all confused and quiet as if she's trying to contain a lot of very strong emotions::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:;Watches the CNS with Bolitho::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Enters the bridge... surprised by the speed of the Turbolift... he asked for it:: 

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Watches the CO:: Bolitho: Interesting.  Could you tell me more?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Feels a wave of sympathy for Kesh, but keeps a hand on the phaser::  Suder: Are you alright? Would you like a tissue?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Turns to the CO:: CO_Lira: Captain, a word please

CIV_Kavek says:
::Rushes into the observation lounge, after he's in... he takes a breather:: XO: I'm here.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:;Walks over to Hazzem::

Suder says:
::Glances up at OPS and shakes her head slightly:: OPS: I'll be fine.. ::voice is incredibly shaky::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: Captain, what is the purpose of this?

Host Bolitho says:
CNS: Perhaps later Counsellor

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Commander beam Anya and Suder here now please this is getting ridiculous

Host Bolitho says:
CO: May I propose the use of your transporter beam?

OPS_Jameson says:
Suder: Now, will you play nice?

CNS_DeLindt says:
Bolitho: Agreed.  ::Walks to the CO:: CO: Anything you need help with, Captain?

Host Bolitho says:
::Raises hands at hearing Tam speak to Muir and looks out the window::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO: You will find out shortly commander 

XO_Muir says:
:: Looks up as he hears the Captain, lost in thought, and nods as he engages the Transporter beams ::

Host Bolitho says:
ACTION: OPS Jameson and Suder are beamed into the Obs lounge

XO_Muir says:
:: Leaves the Ops console as Kavek arrives and nods at the older man ::

Suder says:
::Sparkle, sparkel...vanish::

XO_Muir says:
Kavek: Your Excellency?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Gets a firmer grip on her phaser, as she is beamed to the OBS lounge::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Looks at the materialising OPS and Suder, sees Suder and stares at her for a bit::

Host Bolitho says:
::Turns as Suder and Jameson appear::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Sees them :: Suder: Sit now commander

CIV_Kavek says:
::Takes out his neural disruptor again:: XO: We need to make certain that in order to activate every console on this ship, you need a command code.

CIV_Kavek says:
XO: I don't trust those two.

Suder says:
::Appears, looking incredibly worried. Hears CO's order, glances at Bolitho for confirmation before settling down in a seat::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: I've already locked out all of the Bridge consoles.

Host Bolitho says:
:;Spots Hazz and does his best to ignore him, but his attention is drawn to Jameson where his hands grab the seat in front of him and distinct creaking noise is heard::

Host Bolitho says:
Suder: Have a seat Commander

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Looks at them all:: All: Are we all here now

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Decides to stand beside Bolitho::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Nods:: XO: I'm impressed.

Suder says:
::Glances over at Bolitho and shakes her head a little::

OPS_Jameson says:
CO-Lira: She's been quite well behaved, considering all things

XO_Muir says:
CIV: :: Motions for the Ambassador to come forward, and lowers his voice :: I have another request of you, Excellency...

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Watching the two Captains::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: As you well know, we are about to begin a meeting where Captain Bolitho will ask us to make a choice; a choice that will effect whether we get back to our reality or not, I suspect.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Notices Bolitho, motions to his eyes and taps his phaser lightly. Then sits down::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Turns to Bolitho, and smiles at him sweetly, knowingly::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: Now, I'm sure that this "cause" of his will cause some friction amongst the crew if the decision the captain makes is to not help to defeat the Borg. No one in the Federation likes the Borg. This could well lead to treason amongst this crew.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Shakes his head at all the chest beating that’s going on::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: Now, I harbour no misconceptions of where your loyalties lie, Excellency, or who your actions are intended to benefit. I trust you will agree with me in this matter, that the Seleya cannot fall into the hands of 'traitors'.

CIV_Kavek says:
::Eyebrows raise:: XO: Really... ::listening closely::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:;Waits for the XO and CIV to finish ::

Suder says:
::Sees movement out of the corner of her eyes and turns to look. Eyes widen a little more, a small gasp escaping as she sets her gaze on CSO::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: It would be counterproductive to our goal of returning to our reality.
Destroying the Borg in this reality is not our problem, but getting home is in both of our interests, I trust?

Host Bolitho says:
::Face has gone very white at seeing Jameson, but he recovers turning to Tam, he waits for her approval before starting::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: I need to know that I can count on you to help get us home, should things do awry, and the crew revolt.

OPS_Jameson says:
CO: May I speak to you for a moment in private.  It is rather important

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Gazes back at Suder, emotions running through his mind::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: As I've said, as I know this is in your best interests, I'm forced to trust you on this issue.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
All: I’m not going to beat about the bush Captain Bolitho has asked for our help, I want you all to listen to him .. after I will ask you all your views and thoughts you may have on it and any idea’s that are better than the Captain

XO_Muir says:
CIV: Your decision, Excellency?

CIV_Kavek says:
XO: We are to get home. Yes. You can trust me. ::can hardly believe he's saying those words:: If there is one thing I hate more than anything else, it's a traitor. Anyone who commits treason should die. I'm make certain of it.

Suder says:
::Finds herself almost transfixed by CSO, seeing him again bringing back floods of memories she'd rather leave well buried::

XO_Muir says:
:: Nods at Kavek, with a grim look on his face ::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Gestures to Bolitho:: Bolitho: Captain

XO_Muir says:
CIV: We should go. :: Motions to the Obs Lounge ::

CIV_Kavek says:
XO: Besides, if there is one thing we've learned from even the Voyager crew. The crew stick by their captain.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Opens her mind up to the thoughts of both Suder and Bolitho, attempting to find any disassembling::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Proceeds to the observations lounge::

Host Bolitho says:
ALL: The situation before you all is simple, your not from this universe, you can go your own way and leave us....::looks at everyone including Hazz and Jameson:: or...you can help us....the Seleya..my Seleya was a mission to destroy a Borg transwarp hub in the Sol system, it was to be a one way trip....

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Closes his eyes for a little, then focuses on the meeting::

XO_Muir says:
:: Moves his way past Kavek, and pats the phaser in his uniform to make sure it's secure ::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Glances at his CO, wondering what her feelings are::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Watches Bolitho closely::

XO_Muir says:
::Enters the Lounge as Bolitho begins to speak and takes his seat next to the Captain ::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Has his neural disruptor in his hand... the question isn't if they can trust him... it's if he can trust them; enters the lounge::

Suder says:
::Ffinally pulls her gaze away from CSO, carefully controlling her breathing, trying to suppressing the horrible images on Hazzem assimilating half of her patients in Sickbay::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Stands at the rear of the observations lounge listening, he would be vulnerable to attack if he sat down::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Passes a Padd over to the XO telling him that Suder tried to use her command codes::

Host Bolitho says:
ALL: Unfortunately it appears that the Borg queen ::looks directly at Jameson:: got wind of our plans and threw a few obstacles in our path...fortunate for us when you happened along otherwise we would be dead or part of the Collective...I want you to join us and help us turn the tide for all the members of the free Alpha quadrant species....

Host Bolitho says:
::Looks at Bolitho and nods his thanks before finding a seat and sitting down::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks over at Kavek and nods to him and turns his attention back to the meeting::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Gasps a little loudly, when she sense's the images and feelings from Suder, looking over at Hazz with shock::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Looks at OPS concerned:: OPS: Are you alright?

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Hears the gasp and turns to look at Jameson::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Hears the phrase 'Borg Queen' from Bolitho, and turns her attention back to him::

Host Bolitho says:
::Turns his head in the direction of Jameson::

XO_Muir says:
:: Types back to the CO :: WHAT? She needs to be off the ship now, we can't trust her.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Pauses for a minute:: All: Your views

Suder says:
::G lances briefly at Rick before hearing OPS's intake of breath. Turns to look at her::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Smiles a little forcedly at Hazz::  CSO: Fine.

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Decides to wait before saying anything, its time to walk the line::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:;Takes the Padd back and nods in agreement with the XO and then stands and paces waiting for the crews views: :XO: Commander maybe you should start

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Gazes a little longer at OPS, trying to find an answer::

XO_Muir says:
:: Sits back, attempting to sit on the fence a little longer so he can know how this will all turn out ::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks around to see who's going first::

XO_Muir says:
:: Damns himself and turns, trying to attract everyone's attention::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Looks at the first officer, he's mighty quiet to have the floor::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks solidly at Muir, trying to only sense the truth from Bolitho and Suder, attempting to ignore all other information::

XO_Muir says:
ALL: :: Nods at the two CO's :: I think that both of you know my opinion on this matter. Captain Bolitho, as much as your cause pains me, and as much as I'd like us to help; I couldn't morally sanction assisting you in this reality. It goes against Starfleet Ideals, and it isn't right. Our Seleya's focus should be getting back home, however that may happen

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Is still pacing the Obs lounge and stops by Kavek::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Smiles in agreement with Muir::

XO_Muir says:
Bolitho: I'm sorry, sir. But I don't think it's our place to help you.

Host Bolitho says:
::Nods at Muir::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Looks at Lira, smiles; she's cute::

Suder says:
XO: Not your place!? you sound more Ferengi than human, Adam...

XO_Muir says:
:: Sits back in his chair, sad that he had to be that vocal; but steadfast in his views with no regrets ::

Host Bolitho says:
Suder: Shut up Kesh

XO_Muir says:
Suder: That's good, in that I'm not human.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Watches Bolitho and Suder closely::

XO_Muir says:
:: Sits back again, with a look on his face of contempt; contempt that he can't help... or won't help; but also contempt that he was challenged on this ship in front of the senior staff ::

Suder says:
::Glances over at Rick surprised but nods without another word. Just glares at XO instead!::

XO_Muir says:
:: Decides not to retaliate, and allow the emotional outburst to linger in the air ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Looks at his PADD, and studies it for a bit::

XO_Muir says:
:: Looks around the table, eager to shift the spotlight from himself for the time being ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Bolitho: We can't help you

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Stands with his PADD, and walks over to the Lounge screen::

XO_Muir says:
:: Makes eye contact with Kavek, and tries to convey a message of "I told you this would happen..." ::

Suder says:
::Lets her eyes follow CSO, still unable to believe she can stand being in the same room as him::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:; Watches Hazzem:: CSO: Commander ?

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Still trying to judge the atmosphere::

CIV_Kavek says:
All: Personally, I think we're wasting time. We should be home by now. ; ::looks right at the male Bolitho:: Your cause is dead... and keep this up... will be too. Again.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks over at Bolitho:: Bolitho: I know the situation, but I have to agree.  We can only help you if it doesn't affect our transport home.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Looks at Kavek and smiles:: CIV: Amb you have such away with words

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Inputs all the data from his PADD to the screen:: ALL: This is the energy left in this hub as of now ::points:: ...........

Host Bolitho says:
::Keeps face expressionless::

XO_Muir says:
CIV: Ambassador, try to remain... diplomatic. :: Idly attempts to diffuse the situation from breaking point ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
ALL: This is the energy that normally takes to change and create a new gate ::points::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Looks at Hazzem::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Smiles::  CO/XO: Come now. I am an Ambassador. :: refrains from laughing::

CSO_Hazzem says:
ALL: If we do try to help you, the energy left will be this much ::points::............

OPS_Jameson says:
::Gives Hazzem her attention::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Watches the screen::

CSO_Hazzem says:
ALL: We need this much to create a subspace gate to return home

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Waves her hand slightly to quieten the CIV and XO::

Suder says:
::Gives the table in front of her a piercing glare::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Looks a little confused:: CSO: What are you trying to tell us commander

XO_Muir says:
:: Finds it hard to concentrate with the levels of animosity in the atmosphere::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Turns around facing everyone:: ALL: Only one ship can go home, the other one is staying here ::looks at everyone, then stares at Bolitho::

Host Bolitho says:
CO: He's saying that if we destroy the hub Captain you'll be trapped here in this universe

Suder says:
::Finds herself looking forlornly at XO again::

XO_Muir says:
:: Raises an eyebrow, even though he knew this info already, and avoids Kesh's stare ::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Raises her eye brow at Bolitho and then at CSO:: CSO: please confirm that for me

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: If we help them, then the process of creating a subspace gate via the hub will not only diminish the energy left, but it will destroy the hub

Suder says:
::sighs just audibly, closes her eyes, blocking CSO's talk out before opening them again, still unable to avoid looking in XO's general direction::::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Frowns and crosses his arms::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_lira: Simply saying, we......cannot.........help them

CIV_Kavek says:
::Watches the male Bolitho and Suder carefully... moves towards Darklighter and whispers:: CTO: I suggest we go to red alert soon... in case that Seleya attempts a desperate takeover.

Host Bolitho says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: But what it also means is that my crew would be forced to join you back in your universe Captain

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: I believe that I want to go home, I believe that the rest of our crew wants to go home

CNS_DeLindt says:
CSO: What you are actually saying is that if we help them, we are stuck here.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Nods at the CNS::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Bites her lip, at the thought of her alternate self wreaking havoc through the dimension, and killing the people before her::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO: Commander if we use it to create a subspace gate then in fact we will be destroying it anyway

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks at Kavek whispers:: CIV: If this meeting goes badly then agreed

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: True

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: I have stated it before, one ship is staying here, the other is going home

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO: So we will in fact be killing to birds with one stone

Suder says:
Lira-Bolitho: Make a subspace gate in the hub? ::looks incredulous::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: Captain, right now we have sufficient energy in that hub to create a gate back home. But the gate will be useless after

Host Bolitho says:
::Hears the CIV and looks really annoyed::

Host Bolitho says:
::Gestures with a slight shake of his head to Suder to keep quiet::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Gives Bolitho an evil smile, the biggest he's ever given; I mean BIG... humongous... starship sized::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO; understood .. then maybe we should start thinking of it that way..... CTO: Lt your views after hearing this

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Glares at kavek catching his grin Whispers:: CIV: Amb please the situation does not need aggravating

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: I have already made a plan to take over the hub, and use it to our benefits

OPS_Jameson says:
CO-Lira: It appears to be our only plan, it is a compromise

Suder says:
::Frowns at Bolitho, indicating that she doesn't wan to be quiet::

CNS_DeLindt says:
ALL: ::quietly:: it seems this compromise suits all parties

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Nods in a agreement with Anya waiting on the others comments::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Frowns, he doesn't like a compromise::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Sits back down::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks at Lira, then Bolitho and finally the others:: All: We've mentioned some good points but one is left out....we are a target, the Borg we are out here and they see us as a big treat hence a cube hunting us, as for the gate, they're not just going to let us fly up and use it we will have to fight our way in

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO: I want a report as soon as possible on your ideas

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: All ready here ::hands her the PADD::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Smiles:; CTO: That’s why I have such a wonderful TAC I’m sure your find away through it

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:;Takes the Padd::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Smiles:: CO/CTO: You can count on me to provide tactical assistance. Even if I have to kill to convince you.

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO_Lira: The point I’m making captain is, we're going to be fighting our way there whether we're helping these people are not, so I don't see why we can't plow the road for these people, once we get in the gate home, they can do what they wish

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Shakes her head in amusement at Kavek:: CIV: I never doubted it for one minute Amb

Suder says:
::Leans back in her seat, looking very unwilling to be here. Keeps now and again, glancing over at XO as if trying to imagine that he hadn't died in her reality::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CTO; Agreed

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Looks at Bolitho::

Host Bolitho says:
::A small smile appears on his face at hearing the CTO's comment::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks at Bolitho::

XO_Muir says:
:: Scratches his hear absent mindedly ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Looks at the CTO::

Host Bolitho says:
CO: The decision still rests with you Captain....

CIV_Kavek says:
::Moves quickly around to whisper to Muir:: XO: Well... it seems that there is no mutiny. Either that... or they already have Hazzem... and he's sabotaging us all.

OPS_Jameson says:
CIV: And that is not the case....

Suder says:
::Doesn't notice a very small wistful smile appear on her face, watching XO::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Whispers:: XO: They may have Jameson too.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Turns around to CIV:: CIV: A word after this meeting Ambassador!

OPS_Jameson says:
CIV: You really want to know...really?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Thinks for a minute and then looks around at her crew:: All; Well as this seems to be our only route at hand ad the only way home and  I guess its all we can do ... ::looks at Bolitho:: Bolitho: So I guess we get to help you…. ALL: I want each department to send me reports of there Ideas TAC and SCI will need to formulate some offensive here to include the galaxy class

CIV_Kavek says:
::Curious if the crew even realize he's been holding his neural disruptor the whole time::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
Bolitho: I guess your ship will have to be made battle ready as well

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Eyes widen in surprise and burst out:: CO_Lira: WHAT?!!!

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO: Will be using the hub to get us home not destroying it commander until after we have gone through and we will not be moving until we have a plan Sorted that will work

Suder says:
::Looks over at CSO with a jump::

Host Bolitho says:
CO: Captain....if I can arrange that some of my crew are beamed aboard specifically tactical, we've developed some tactics that will only assist you Captain, with your permission I would like my CTO to beam over

XO_Muir says:
COs: I'm sorry Captain's, but I have to say that I don't agree with that.

XO_Muir says:
COs: If we need to discuss tactical matters, we will do so on the comm.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
Bolitho: No captain there is to be no more crew interaction.. TAC will be pleased to take any details from the, but no further crew are to beamed over

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Agreed

XO_Muir says:
:: Nods at the Captain, glad to have her support ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: Captain, you're asking us to leave our only way of going back home. In a while this hub will be useless for the both of us, we have to act now

CIV_Kavek says:
::Was just about to protest... glad that Muir did::

Suder says:
::Decides to leave the two Captains to it, turns to XO:: XO: It'd be good to get a few of our people of our ship, too. just for a break. you can set as many guards on them as you like... but cabin fever is a real problem right now...

Host Bolitho says:
CO: You have to start trusting me somewhere Captain.....as for the mission, there can be only one captain.....

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
Suder: Commander you will be going no where but off this ship shortly now please sit down

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO_Lira: There situation is not our concern, they are not part of OUR starfleet, I made a plan for our ship, and I cannot include helping another ship in this plan

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: Captain if I may, a break for the other Seleya's crew may increase their performance.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Holds her head with one hand, realising she's forming a headache::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Looks at Bolitho with rage:: Bolithio: I can't trust you! you tried to kill me, and I'll be damned if I help you after what happened

Suder says:
::Sits down with a thump, looking like her feathers have been well and truly ruffled, glares at Hazzem, Jameson and Lira Bolitho at random intervals as if she’s never been so insulted in her life::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Looking at this:: All: Captain Lira-Bolitho has made her order. This is Starfleet, no one protests their captain's order. ::smiles:: And our guests can now get off the ship.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
All: Dismissed CTO: Make sure the Alternate crew are beamed back to their ship immediately with armed escort

CNS_DeLindt says:
CSO: Calm down mister.  Or would you prefer an hour in my office?

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO_Lira: Aye captain

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO: I will take you views in my ready room

Suder says:
::Lets CSO's accusation fly...she's too fuming to comment...though, naturally, she'll say something later::

Host Bolitho says:
***Pause 'The Journey'***
