CSO_Storal:
=*SO*: Geothermal power huh...interesting
==20
CNS_Naegle:
=Sonja:  That's too bad, why didn't you know your father?
==20
TO_Lowell:
==20FCO: If we loaded Photon Torpedoes into The EP's. and if at some point =in the battle we shut down all systems and started launching EP's with =Tricorders in them to mimic Lifesigns we could use them against the Cardassian and the would never know what hit them.
==20
XO_Valrek:
=::nods, knowing it may be possible::
==20
Sonja_Davore:
=::shrugs:: CNS: I never met him ... I don't know, why.
==20
Glinn_Dorchel:
=Gul: We should speak to her ourselves, they are lying
==20
CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
=Gul_Malacha:  We will be willing to assist in any way =possible =20
==20
Gul_Malacha:
=:;sighs deeply and tries to maintain calm::
==20
SO_Yeung:
=*CSO*: Geothermal power should be pretty reliable. It must =have been a terrible accident to cause that kind of explosion.
==20
CEO_Toros:
=:: overhears the TO :: TO: We need those life pods for =emergencies! And you under estimate the USS Apache's war capabilities!
==20
Gul_Malacha:
=Captain: I am sure you would be.=20
==20
FCO_Turnbull:
=TO : Interesting theory, Mister Lowell. Now belay that =thinking. There will be no battle if we can help it.
==20
OPS_Drathlai:
=TO:  Except if it doesn't work we can't escape our ship and =we could die...
==20
CIV_MacKenzie:
=:: with so many Cardassians killed in the war and records =destroyed this could be difficult::
==20
FCO_Turnbull:
=CEO : Belay that, Mister Asadourian.
==20
CNS_Naegle:
=::nods:: Sonja:  Okay, that's fine.  Let me ask you this.  =Your mother said, right before she died, not to let them take you back.  =Do you know what she might have meant by that?
==20
Gul_Malacha:
=Glinn_Dorchel: you will gather the sensor data and =information on the incident when the commander is ready..
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=<Cretino>CMO: How about some spinach dip then...?
==20
CSO_Storal:
=*SO*: they probably connected the relays wrong. I wish I =could have gotten more information.
==20
TO_Lowell:
=FCO: Aye, sir just trying to give  us options when we may not =have many.
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=CMO: You've read my mind... :: smiles :: Go for it...
==20
CEO_Toros:
=:: nods and turns back to his station grumbling at the =energetic TO ::
==20
CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
=::does not want to turn the child over to these men and go =against the mothers wishes:: Glinn_Dorchel: What reasons would we have =to 'lie' to you?
==20
Glinn_Dorchel:
=Gul: I will obey
==20
XO_Valrek:
=::nods to Glinn_Dorchel::
==20
FCO_Turnbull:
=TO : Understood, Ensign. Thank you for the idea. Let's rather =hope we don't need it.
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=<Cretino>CMO: Good...be right back.
==20
Glinn_Dorchel:
=Captain: The federation is but a lie
==20
Gul_Malacha:
=::watches them warily and listens::
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=:: taps her fingers as she waits for Cretino to come back ::
==20
SO_Yeung:
=*CSO*: Me too, sir. It's quite a mystery.
==20
CSO_Storal:
=TO: Cardassian ships don’t handle to well in single =combat. They like group attacks.
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=:: sees Cretino :: Cretino: Oh ... that looks good!  :: =starts eating :: Mmm...
==20
TO_Lowell:
=FCO: We too, sir ::smiles:: ii would hate to rebuild all of =those EP's =3D)
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=<Cretino> :: laughs ::
==20
FCO_Turnbull:
=CSO : Indeed. However, how do we know there are no more =waiting in the wings?
==20
Gul_Malacha:
==20::raises his hand to stop the officer:: Glinn_Dorchel: Now is not the =time. The federation is our ally now ... there is no need to begin a =war... we have a Cardassian child that needs our energies=20
==20
CIV_MacKenzie:
=:: flinches at Glinn_Dorchel's bitter comment ::
==20
MO_Powers:
=*CMO*: how are you getting on with your rounds?
==20
XO_Valrek:
=Glinn_Dorchel: If you would accompany me, I will give you the =information requested personally.
==20
EO_Edgemoor:
=:: still catching his breath as he is panting and must be out =of shape :: CEO: Yes sir, will get on it right away. :: goes to a =console ::
==20
OPS_Drathlai:
=TO/CSO:  But I would like to remind both of you the =Cardassians haven't done anything...we are the only one's who did =anything wrong...
==20
FCO_Turnbull:
=OPS : Belay that thinking Mister.
==20
CEO_Toros:
=*EO*: Understood Lt.
==20
Gul_Malacha:
=::waves to Glinn_Dorchel:: go with him and get the info
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=Cretino: Oh.. by the way, do you know anyone by the name of =Crewman Skucta?  I can't find his quarters....
==20
CSO_Storal:
=TO: Nothing on sensors, and we could be outta here faster =than they could react.
==20
CSO_Storal:
=OPS: Are you saying that a relief mission was wrong.
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=*MO*: It's going.. fine... :: winks at Cretino ::
==20
Glinn_Dorchel:
=::Nods to the Gul:: XO: I am ready to view logs
==20
Gul_Malacha:
=::Nods to Glinn_Dorchel ::
==20
TO_Lowell:
=CSO: I am not saying use it at the start of a battle. but it =might be an interesting idea to try
==20
SO_Yeung:
=::rubs his chin and goes back analyzing data::
==20
Gul_Malacha:
=::turns attention back to the Captain::
==20
CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
=::doesn't react to his statement... nods to Valrek::
==20
OPS_Drathlai:
=FCO:  Yes sir, I just meant that we shouldn't just jump to conclusions that the Cardassians are our enemy... CSO: No, =definitely not ... I am saying that we are misjudging the Cardassians
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=Cretino: I haven't eaten since.. :: thinks a bit :: Oh my!  =Since this morning, just before I got back ... gees ... I'm getting as =bad as the rest of them.
==20
MO_Powers:
=*CMO*: have you seen Roxanne yet?
==20
XO_Valrek:
=::nods:: Glinn_Dorchel: Then we will go now, with the =Captain's permission ::looks to the CO::
==20
FCO_Turnbull:
=CSO/OPS: Gentlemen, there is a time and a place for this. =While we are at stations is neither.
==20
CSO_Storal:
=TO: agreed
==20
CMO_Quest-Mac:
=*MO*: No Mr. Powers.... She's next on my list though...
==20
CTO_Lu:
=::looks around wondering why there’s Cardassians on =the ship::
==20

==20
CSO_Storal:
=FCO: sorry sir
==20
TO_Lowell:
=FCO: aye sir
==20
Gul_Malacha:
