Star Trek: Apache - Episode #12
Week # 1
Mission: "Auld Lang Syne"

Host Jafo says:
Negotiations with the Ossarra have come to a close. The Federation has agreed to allow Treo and Septimum onto the Ganymede and Apache for a one-year observation period while the Ossarra begin to colonize the planet V'halla.

Host Jafo says:
The Apache and Ganymede have gone their separate ways ... the Apache heading to its next mission in the Tartarus system where they are slated to observe a Hypernova and attempt to image Gamma Ray Bursts as they form in the wake of the hypernova.

Host Jafo says:
En route, Captain Tyler has thrown an "April Fool's Party" on the holodeck consisting of a murder mystery for her crew's entertainment. Morale on the Apache is significantly higher than normal as a result.

ACTION: Mister Marsland reports to sickbay with a nasty case of the Klingon Flu.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: I’m going to need full power to the main array, that way we can filter out any interference the gamma bursts may present.

XO_Linard says:
::taps her comm badge:: *EO*: Mister Powers, will you accompany me on this trip? I'll need an experienced pilot.

Host Computer says:
*CNS*: USS Apache has arrived at coordinates of Tartarus system. ::chirps::

Sonja_Davore says:
::stands at ease:: CMO: Thank you, ma'am.  I'm here and ready and willing to learn.  ::drops her professionalism a bit and smiles::

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: You be careful ... I don’t know who else can burn a meal better than you. ::chuckles::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, there are no ships nearby, according to long-range sensors. No sign of the Breen.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: First of all, let's get Mister Marsland to a bed.  He's desperately ill.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Yes, I do … but mostly we are going to use the main array.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: You got it.

XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Oh, aren’t we the comedian today Commander?  You just keep that replicator ready and waiting for me when I get back.

CNS_Vekh says:

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks over at EO and grins:: EO: Have a nice trip, Ensign.

Sonja_Davore says:
::groans inwardly from his weight against her:: CMO: What's wrong with him?

EO_Powers says:
*XO*: Okay … remember, I haven’t done this in a while though.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: What’s the status on the Sensor arrays? Is everything running smoothly?

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Thank you, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A message comes into Commander Linard's quarters from Doctor Derek LeSau Sr expressing how anxious he is to see her again and inviting her to join him for dinner as soon as they arrive.

CMO_Naegle says:
::puts up the diagnostic dome over him and watches the results:: Sonja:  Looks like the Klingon Flu.  He's going to be here a long time.

XO_Linard says:
::rechecks her bag and smiles at the PADD she finds:: *CSO*: I will, thanks. ::hears the message arrive on her monitor:: *CSO*: Linard out…

XO_Linard says:
*EO*: It's like riding a bike Mister Powers … you never really forget. I'll meet you in Shuttlebay Two, shortly.

CEO_Yeung says:
::pulls data on the sensors:: *CSO*: Sensors running smoothly at full power, sir.

XO_Linard says:
::heads to her console and opens the message from Doctor LeSau ... grins widely::

Sonja_Davore says:
::tilts head slightly with curiosity:: CMO: Is it contagious?

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged, be ready … we don’t know what the will happen when it goes hypernova.

EO_Powers says:
*XO*: Yes sir. Can I get some things from my quarters first?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Have you assigned the volunteers to any of your science teams?

TO_Masterson says:
::waits in the shuttle bay for everyone else to arrive::

CNS_Vekh says:
::arrives at the bridge and greets the officers::

XO_Linard says:
*EO*: Make it quick.... we'll be departing shortly

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Acknowledge, sir. Shields and propulsions are also fully ready.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Well sir, most of my department is on it. But if the need arises I can give out additional assignments.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::looks down on Masterson as she comes into the shuttlebay:: TO: Mister Masterson ... we have not met yet ... ::lumbers over to her::

CNS_Vekh says:
::approaches:: CO: Greeting Captain, seems we had a safe trip, save for an occasional stance of poisoning. ::grins::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  I'll leave that to your discretion.

EO_Powers says:
*XO*: Yes sir.  ::runs to his quarters to collect some items::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Highly, but we caught it in time.  He'll be sick for a while, but no lasting damage.

XO_Linard says:
::closes the message and makes a mental note to check in with Doctor LeSau as soon as she arrives ... exits her quarters and heads for the TL::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Aye.

Sonja_Davore says:
::relieved:: CMO: That is good.  ::waits for instructions on what to do next::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::laughs softly:: CNS:  Yes, it has been a good trip so far.  I just hope it stays that way.

CSO_Storal says:
::wishes he could see the XO to the shuttle but there is no time for that::

TO_Masterson says:
::looks at Jaxlt:: Jaxlt: No we haven't, and you are since you know so much about me?

EO_Powers says:
::enters his quarters and grabs his things::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::tries to grip her hand gently as he shakes it, careful not to crush any bones:: TO: Word travels fast in a vacuum. You've been something of the talk about Fort Apache since you came aboard... ::whispers:: ...word has it, that the Security Officers are afraid of you.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  Have you had a chance to begin getting to know your staff?

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: I share your hopes, Captain. On that topic, I'd like to inform that I have my staff paying extra attention to stress levels while we are in the Tartarus System.

XO_Linard says:
::heads for the shuttle bay::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Give him lots of fluids, maybe some extract of bloodwine.

TO_Masterson says:
::shakes his hand:: Jaxlt: I see, I have no idea why.  What is your name?

EO_Powers says:
::runs to the turbolift and enters::  TL: Shuttlebay two.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: In fact sir, I've just hosted a staff meeting in the Conference Lounge a couple of hours ago.

Sonja_Davore says:
::raises eyebrow at the treatment:: CMO: Right away Doctor…  ::sighs and looks around sickbay once more a little lost::

XO_Linard says:
*TO*: Please report to the Shuttle bay, Ensign. We will be departing shortly.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::grins broadly down on the Klingon:: TO: Jaxlt Burta ... but most folks round here call me Jax. I am the Apache's ... morale officer. ::winks::

CSO_Storal says:
::whispers:: *XO*: You know, I should be going instead of you. ::chuckles::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  I'm glad to hear that.  There have been a few cases where the stress levels reached dangerous levels.  I don't want to see repeat performances of those instances.

TO_Masterson says:
*XO*: Sir, I am waiting for you there.

OPS_Lowell says:
::adjusts the Apache's course slightly:: CO: We have entered the Tartarus gravity well.

CNS_Vekh says:
::sits comfortably in the XO's chair:: CO: I apparently have a very competent staff, I just need to know everyone's strengths to blend them into a team

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  Excellent, that is a great starting point.

XO_Linard says:
::laughs:: *CSO*: I was a Science Officer too you know.  I'll tell you all about it when I get back, don't worry.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: We have entered a standard orbit of the star.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: It's a common treatment for Klingon flu. ::points her in the right direction::

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: I know, just be careful.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Keep us in a safe orbit, have exit vectors plotted in the event that we need to leave the area quickly.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Thank you sir. In fact I'd like to ask your permission on a topic.

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks at the direction pointed out by the CMO:: CMO: Ah, thank you. ::smiles weakly:: CMO: Pardon me while I try to learn my way around here.  It's different somehow, since the last time I was here.

EO_Powers says:
::leaves the turbolift and enters the shuttlebay::

CNS_Vekh says:
::shifts in the XO' chair making a mental note to recommend a changing of the cushion::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: The MO also arrives in the shuttlebay.

XO_Linard says:
::smiles:: CSO: You know me...

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir. ::takes them to a higher orbit and plots exit vectors::

Sonja_Davore says:
::goes over and takes the necessary equipments and medicines and goes back to the patient::

TO_Masterson says:
::looks at the MO::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Once the shuttle leaves, bring us to the following coordinates. It will give us optimum readings and safety.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::glances up as Ensign Powers enters the shuttlebay, waves to him:: EO: Hello John...

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: You were quite young and scared then.  Just out of curiosity, how have you been?

XO_Linard says:
::enters the Shuttlebay and sees her group waiting for her::

OPS_Lowell says:
::looks at the coordinates:: CSO: Will do, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods to OPS:: CNS: What topic would that be?

Sonja_Davore says:
::doesn't look up as she tries to remember what she's suppose to do:: CMO: I'm all right I guess.  ::looks at the doctor::

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Yes I do, that’s why I said it. ::chuckles:: *CSO*: I’ll see you when you get back. 

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, all departments are ready and standing by.

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: It wasn't easy being the only Cardassian in school … the prejudice still exists.

EO_Powers says:
Jax: Hi Jax, I’ll have a beer … just joking.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: I've briefly reviewed the senior staff profiles, sir. Well, I could not find several of them, plus those I found were rather outdated.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::walks over towards Commander Linard:: XO: I've taken the liberty of stocking your runabout with some "special" additional supplies. ::smacks her on the back gently:: XO/All: Have a good trip. ::heads out of the shuttlebay::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: I'll bet. ::looks concerned:: What do you remember about your time on the Apache?

OPS_Lowell says:
::moves the Apache to the coordinates indicated by the CSO:: CSO: We will arrive in three minutes, sir.

XO_Linard says:
::staggers slightly at the "gentle tap" from Jax which is hardly that to her:: Jax: Thanks, will do.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: I'd ask your authorization, as time permits, to schedule appointments for the whole senior staff in the following weeks.

EO_Powers says:
::remembers when he was assigned to investigate Jax as SFI::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Excellent Commander, have them begin at once.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The MO appears to have something on her mind and is keeping quiet while the others talk::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Acknowledged Mister Lowell.

Sonja_Davore says:
::frowns slightly:: CMO: Well, it was rather confusing.  ::tries to think back:: CMO: There was a female Klingon in yellow uniform D'Lie … T'liea … I can't remember her name.

CSO_Storal says:
*Science Department*: Okay people, its game time. Let’s make this happen.

XO_Linard says:
::nods to the group:: TO/MO/EO: Shall we? ::motions to the shuttle door::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  It sounds like this is something that can't wait.  All senior staff should be available at your discretion, Commander.

TO_Masterson says:
XO: After you, Commander.

XO_Linard says:
::nods her thanks to the TO and boards the shuttle::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: D'Layna Abbott, one of our former security officers.

EO_Powers says:
::watches the TO::

TO_Masterson says:
::enters after the XO::

Sonja_Davore says:
::continues to work as she talks:: CMO: Oh yes, that's right … and I'd also stayed with the CMO at that time. Then a Counselor Jamison, but I haven't seen her since I came back. She was nice.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Very well Captain, I shall begin as soon as the initial setup for the Hypernova observation is finished.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  Commander Linard, Doctor Sarel, Ens. Masterson, and Ens. Powers will be leaving for Trill momentarily ... however those onboard should be available.

CMO_Naegle says:
::notes Tom's reaction to the medication.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS: Of course, Commander … you’re the Counselor.

CEO_Yeung says:
::runs a diagnostic on the shields::

CSO_Storal says:
::says another prayer to the Prophets::

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Do you think he'll need more of this bloodwine stuff?  ::referring to the FCO on the biobed::

EO_Powers says:
::boards the shuttle::

CNS_Vekh says:
::nods to Captain:: CO: The reaming officer should suffice, sir.

XO_Linard says:
:;takes a seat in the co-pilot's chair and sets her bag in a locker::

EO_Powers says:
::goes over pre-flights::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Kaylee Jamison had to leave the Apache.  She was upset when you had to leave the first time.  As for Tom, he'll be fine for now.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::monitors the shuttles assumed trajectory for activity::

TO_Masterson says:
::takes a seat::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CNS: Especially since you were planning to spread the interviews over a few weeks. You may want to post a schedule for the staff to follow, also.

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods and puts down the equipment in hand:: CMO: Hey, that wasn't so bad after all!

XO_Linard says:
::looks to the EO:: EO: We ready?

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: I mean … being in sickbay and working here, I mean.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: You'll do fine here.  Wait until we get lots of injured crewmen in here, then it gets fun. ::grins::

CNS_Vekh says:
::nods:: CO: I shall see to that, Captain. I had my staff start updates on the junior officer's profiles, but I decided to interview the senior staff myself

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Does that happen often?

CEO_Yeung says:
::notes that he'll be able to get a better understanding of the situation up on the bridge::

EO_Powers says:
XO: We are.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  That's a good idea; after all you'll be working closely with them on a daily basis.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Fortunately, no … our crew is very well trained on how not to get hurt.  But sometimes the unforeseen happens.

EO_Powers says:
XO: We’re just waiting on permission to depart. 

XO_Linard says:
::makes a few adjustments and smiles in her anxiousness::

CEO_Yeung says:
::leaves main engineering and enters a turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

XO_Linard says:
::nods to the EO:: EO: You're the pilot!

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: That is good.  Alrighty, so what's my first lesson, ma'am?

OPS_Lowell says:
*XO*: You are cleared for departure. Take exit route Alpha-two-seven. Have a safe trip. Apache out.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Yes, I'm especially concerned with the senior officers' reactions to our resident Ossarran Ambassador. Have you talked with Ambassador Treo lately, sir?

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Contact SB 514 and notify them that we are in position and are ready to begin. Also forward our data once it starts to come in.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Roger that.

EO_Powers says:
@::leaves the apache and heads on the course to Trill::

CEO_Yeung says:
::exits turbolift upon arriving::

CSO_Storal says:
::does a double take at the OPS officer's answer::

XO_Linard says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Apache, we're on our way.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  I spoke to him when he came onboard, and once or twice since then.

OPS_Lowell says:
::grins at the CSO::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods to Mister Yeung as he enters the bridge::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to both CO and CSO before taking the engineering station::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to CTO::

OPS_Lowell says:
::contacts SB 514 and sets up the data transfer::

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Good, I’m glad you’re here; it will save on all the comm traffic. ::smiles::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Runabout containing the XO, TO, EO, SO, and MO clears the Apache's shuttlebay and settles onto a course for Doctor LeSau's conference on Trill.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Treo may be very busy adapting to us… ::pauses:: …obviously, no pun intended sir

CEO_Yeung says:
::smiles back:: CSO: It's good to get out of engineering once in a while.

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Would you show me around and tell me where all the equipment and supplies are?

XO_Linard says:
@::is off in her own little world anticipating seeing Derek's father again, it's been so long::

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: True Jon … are we ready?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CNS:  None taken, I believe that's a large part of it, and he's probably studying the data tapes that he was given access to.

CEO_Yeung says:
::pulls up status on sensors, shields, and engines::

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: I'm afraid I don't know my way around anymore. ::glances around the sickbay again:: Did you guys repaint the room?  It looks different.

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: We're all set, sir.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: As soon as the runabout leaves we can start.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache receives a Com signal from another Federation Starship. To the best of their knowledge, they were SUPPOSED to be out here alone.

CNS_Vekh says:
::thinks:: CO: I was wondering, sir. How would Treo react if the Breen show up and we need to engage them?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::wonders where that Federation ship came from::

Host USS Crazy Horse says:
COM: Apache: This is the USS Crazy Horse; Apache please respond.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, we are receiving a communiqué from a Federation Starship on approach to our position.

CNS_Vekh says:
::raises eyebrow at message:: Self: This is unexpected!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS: I'm not. OPS:  Open frequency to them.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Sure, first of all, you are in the main ward.  Over there… ::points to the far wall:: …we had converted a portion of Intensive Care to house the Breen when they came aboard.

XO_Linard says:
@EO: What is our estimated time of arrival?

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Frequency open… ::punches buttons on his console and the computer beeps::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM: Crazy Horse, this is the Apache.  How can we assist you?

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods:: CMO: Oh yes, I see you have blocked a section off and lowered the temperature in that room to suit the Breen's need. ::puts her hand in the icy cool glass:: CMO: Almost like a freezer in there.

XO_Linard says:
@::looks back at the TO and the MO:: TO/MO: Everything okay back there?

Host USS Crazy Horse says:
COM: Apache: Captain Tyler, this is Captain Harlan of the Crazy Horse. We have a passenger onboard who has absolutely insisted that he be brought to your current position to participate in your mission to observe the Hypernova. He's rather adamant about it...

EO_Powers says:
@XO: Twenty-four hours, Captain.

CSO_Storal says:
Self: Well, the Crazy Horse seems to be looking better than the last time we saw it.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Fine sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM:  Crazy Horse:  Understood, we'll rendezvous with you to bring him onboard.

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Any plans to reconvert this back into its original state?

CNS_Vekh says:
::rises from XO's chair and approaches the Tactical console whispering to Cha`Dak:: CTO: Mister Cha`Dak, have you confirmed the Crazy Horse's command codes, just in case?

XO_Linard says:
@EO: Thank you. ::looks to her group:: TO/MO/EO: Well it looks like we're going to have a bit of a ride ahead of us. Anyone for a game of three-dimensional chess?

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: Sonja: That's right, and over here… ::walks over to another corner:: …is the supply closet.  Where we keep our medicines and other supplies.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Shall I plot an intercept course?

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Should I meet with him?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: No thank you, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::in a quiet voice:: CNS: Doing so now, Commander.

Host USS Crazy Horse says:
COM: Apache: Thank you, Captain. We'll rendezvous with you in just a few minutes. I appreciate your assistance... ::mutters:: ...and my CSO will be glad to get him off our hands.

Sonja_Davore says:
::follows the CMO and opens the supplies closet:: CMO: I see and how do you know when you're low in inventory?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM: Crazy Horse: Captain, by the way, who is this person that is so adamant about joining this mission.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::passes his hands over the control panel:: CNS: Everything is in order, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Yes, prepare to rendezvous with the Crazy Horse.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Report to the transporter room to meet our new guest.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods again:: Sonja: Sometime in the near future we will reconvert the room.  And as for the inventory, I keep it under tight control.

OPS_Lowell says:
::plots a rendezvous course to the Crazy Horse::

CNS_Vekh says:
::observes the Klingon at work, inwardly satisfied at what he sees:: CTO: Very well, Lieutenant. It never hurts to be cautious.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: On my way, Captain. ::gets up and heads to the Transporter Room::

Host USS Crazy Horse says:
COM: Apache: An El-Aurian Scientist ... says he knows you rather well. Doctor Mruil?

XO_Linard says:
@TO: You Sure? I can be quite a challenge?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: I concur.

CSO_Storal says:
::stops dead in his tracks:: All: Aw come on!

OPS_Lowell says:
::laughs at the CSO::

CNS_Vekh says:
::pays close attention to the reactions of the Captain and Chief Science Officer::

CEO_Yeung says:
::raises an eyebrow at the name::

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: This room looks familiar… ::eyes the room where she last saw her mother alive and then turns somewhere else::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: No thank you, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM: Crazy Horse: Yes, we've met him before.  Thank you Captain.

CSO_Storal says:
::sighs and continues to the transporter room::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Prepare the guest quarters for Doctor Mruil.

EO_Powers says:
@::watches the TO and XO play::

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir. ::contacts a member of the OPS department to prepare guest quarters::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  We will be bringing him aboard soon, Commander. Make yourself ready to meet him.

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks down:: Sonja: Do you remember what happened here, Sonja? ::leads her to the CMO's office to answer the question::

CSO_Storal says:
::laughs:: CO: Do I have to? 

XO_Linard says:
@::smiles just the same thinking she should have known better to ask a Klingon:: TO: Well, I wish I had my Bat’leth here but this compartment would hardly be enough room. ::grins trying to get a smile out of her::

CSO_Storal says:
::darts into the turbolift before she can answer::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::smiles:: CSO:  Yes, Commander.

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: I rather not talk about it if you don't mind, sir.  It's in the past, there's no point in bringing it up.

Sonja_Davore says:
::stands just outside of the office, afraid to go in::

XO_Linard says:
@EO: Well then Mister Powers? Are you up for a game of something? Chess? Cotascott?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: I have mine; I always keep an extra one on the shuttle just in case.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::leans back in her chair thinking of the last time that Doctor Mruil was on board::

CSO_Storal says:
::arrives shortly in transporter room one:: OPS: We are ready for the Doctor.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: Sonja: It's okay, but my door is always open if you need to talk.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Already working on it.

EO_Powers says:
@XO: Sure, I’m not very good though.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Crazy Horse comes alongside the Apache and signals they are ready to transport.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Is this El-Aurian an old acquaintance?

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. ::smiles::

OPS_Lowell says:
::begins Transport:: *CSO*: Incoming…

XO_Linard says:
@::grins:: EO: That's okay, neither am I.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Doctor Mruil is transported from the Crazy Horse to the Apache. Almost immediately the Crazy Horse moves out of position and prepares to go to warp.

CSO_Storal says:
::breathes deeply and watches Mruil materialize:: Mruil: Doctor it is good to see you again.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Would you like to come into the office and sit down for a minute, Lieutenant Marsland won't need us for a while.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  Yes, he was with us for a while, once before.  That was an interesting time.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::materializes on the transporter pad and then smiles broadly when his eyes fall on Commander Storal:: CSO: Commander! It's so good to see you again!

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: The Crazy Horse is taking its departure.

CSO_Storal says:
Mruil: Yes, shall we head to the bridge so we don’t miss a thing sir?

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::hurries down off the transporter pad and slaps the CSO on the back:: CSO: That paper you submitted last month on preeminent dark matter ... brilliant!

Sonja_Davore says:
::doesn't really want to but feels obliged to:: CMO: All right. ::takes a step into the office but doesn’t sit:: 

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Thank you, Lieutenant.

CNS_Vekh says:
::just nods to the CO not wishing to pursue the subject further::

XO_Linard says:
@::takes a seat with the EO to begin a game:: TO: Masterson, what is it that you do like to play Ensign?

OPS_Lowell says:
::watches the other ship jump to Warp:: CO: I wonder why there are in such a hurry?

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
CSO: Oh yes, yes, yes... ::grins broadly:: CSO: I heard you had a chance to study Gamma Ray bursts, so I knew the Apache was where I needed to be! ::follows him out of the room::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Would you like something to drink?

CSO_Storal says:
Mruil: Thank you Doctor … it’s nothing compared to your research. How are things going with the Quantum fissure torpedo?

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Maybe a Pina Colada … virgin please.

CSO_Storal says:
::leads the Doctor to the bridge::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Nothing at the moment, sir.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::waves his hands as if it were nothing:: CSO: We actually got our hands on one ... a captured Breen vessel. It's allowed us to refine the Federation version significantly.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS: Most likely their contact with Doctor Mruil.

CSO_Storal says:
Mruil: Excellent, I look forward to reading the findings.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Ahh…

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Then would you mind keeping score for us? I'd hate to see you bored on this journey.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Coming right up. ::walks over to replicator:: Computer: One virgin Pina Colada and one coffee.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::smiles and grins as he examines every inch of corridor they pass through, slaps his hands together:: CSO: Boy is it good to be back here!

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: I cannot get bored, sir.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Well if he is that bad we can always duct tape him to a chair and send him up and down in the Turbolift.

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes the drinks as they materialize and hands Sonja her drink wishing she would sit down.

CSO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: Mruil: Its good to have you back, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  That won't be necessary.  He just has more energy and enthusiasm than most understand.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: If you say so, sir.

XO_Linard says:
@::can't help but smile:: TO: Really? Well then you have to tell me your secret.

CSO_Storal says:
::leads the Doctor into a turbolift:: Computer: Bridge…

Sonja_Davore says:
::takes the drink carefully with both hands:: CMO: Thank you, sir. ::stirs the icy white drink with the long straw::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::beams at the CSO and elbows him conspiratorially:: CSO: So what do you have on the back burner now?

CNS_Vekh says:
::listens to OPS comments:: OPS: Mister Lowell, I don’t think that would be the best diplomacy to use with guests. It may work now, but I don’t think it would work with Borg.

XO_Linard says:
@::nods to the EO:: EO: It's your move.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::mutters to herself:: Self: He will certainly keep things interesting.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: You are most welcome.  So have you enjoyed your time aboard so far?

OPS_Lowell says:
CNS: I have other ... more innovative ways to deal with the Borg. ::grins::

Sonja_Davore says:
::takes a sip:: CMO: It's very good.

CSO_Storal says:
Mruil: I don’t have anything in the works yet, I’m still finishing the work on the liquid that we found on Tellas IV.

EO_Powers says:
@::hesitantly makes a move::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Just so I know, what is the estimated time of arrival?

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: It's been an interesting few weeks so far. ::grins:: CMO: The bridge has their excitement … as does medical bay, I'm sure.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
CSO: Ah, ah, ah ... the "Silver Blood". Yes you've gotten some heads spinning at Starfleet Medical on that one!

OPS_Lowell says:
::returns the Apache to the CSO's coordinates::

CNS_Vekh says:
OPS: Indeed? We could discuss those further during your upcoming appointment. ::grins inwardly::

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Twenty-four hours.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Aye sir.

CSO_Storal says:
::the turbolift stops and he steps out onto the Bridge:: CO: Sir, I take it you remember Doctor Mruil.

OPS_Lowell says:
::looks distrustful:: CNS: You don't want to steal them do you?

XO_Linard says:
@::grins:: EO: How about this… ::makes a move and takes one of his men::

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles:: Sonja: Yes, Sickbay has it's moments.  You should have seen us with that entire Breen crew.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::glances at the CSO and the Doctor as they arrive on the bridge::

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: I have gotten a chance to talk and meet with the other members of the crew … although I haven't had that much time to interact with my supervisor, Commander Linard.  She's always busy, either with work or personal things.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::steps off the turbolift and glances around the bridge as his eyes go wide:: CSO: I forgot how nice it is here... ::steps down towards the Captain and gives her a big hug:: CO: Captain Tyler!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::stands to welcome Doctor Mruil aboard:: CSO:  Thank you Commander... Mruil:  Doctor, it's good to see you again.

CNS_Vekh says:
OPS: There's a Ferengi saying that goes as 'knowledge is money', Mister Lowell.

Sonja_Davore says:
::chuckles:: CMO: Indeed.  ::takes a long cool sip from her drink::

CSO_Storal says:
::tries not to laugh::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Are we in position?

OPS_Lowell says:
::grins:: CNS: I believe that is the 309th rule of acquisition.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::is slightly startled by the Doctors familiarity with the Captain::

EO_Powers says:
@XO: Good move… ::looks puzzled and makes a bad move::

CEO_Yeung says:
::glances at Mruil::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::steps back from the hug:: Mruil:  Doctor, how has your research been going?

CNS_Vekh says:
::turns his attention to the newcomer::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Excellent.

TO_Masterson says:
@::begins to meditate::

CMO_Naegle says:
::thinks a moment and nods:: Sonja: Yes, Commander Linard stays busy.  Would you like me to talk to her about that?

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
CO: Oh great! Just great! But it's nothing like being back here on the Apache! ::glances about and spots the empty FCO slot:: CO: Oh ... is that where you pilot the ship? ::hurries towards it::

Sonja_Davore says:
::laughs a bit:: CMO: I'll be alright ... I'm sure one of these days we'll sit down for that dinner we've always said we'll have.

OPS_Lowell says:
::is glad that the FCO console is locked down::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::frowns slightly not impressed by this newcomers behavior::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: All right.  Have you been able to talk to the captain?

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::steps down towards the Flight Controls:: CO: We were testing a new version of the Federation Quantum Fissure Torpedo on the Crazy Horse when I heard about he potential hypernova ... what a stroke of luck that the Apache was the ship sent to image it. I decided I just had to be here! ::sits himself down at the controls examining them very closely:

CSO_Storal says:
Mruil: Doctor ... I think you can see better from over here. ::motions to Science One::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods slightly:: Mruil:  Yes, but those controls have been rerouted.  Lt. Lowell has had your quarters prepared, if you would like to get settled in before beginning to observe this hypernova.

CNS_Vekh says:
::seeing the Doctor's actions, turns to the CTO and whispers:: CTO: Mister Cha`Dak, please make sure all critical systems are password protected. ::nods indicating the Doctor::

XO_Linard says:
@::makes another move against the EO and wonders if she should have done that:: TO: So how have you liked your time on Apache so far?

Sonja_Davore says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: Other than the people I have worked directly under, I haven't talked with other senior officers much.  ::smiles a little:: They have more important things to do than to entertain me.

OPS_Lowell says:
::hears the CO and calls one of his officers to the bridge::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods once, as his hands move over the control panel::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: It's been good so far.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::smiles and nods:: CO: Absolutely, Captain Honey ... probably should get settled before the CSO drags me off to talk business. ::stands and heads for the turbolift:: CO: Can someone show me to the quarters?

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Well it only gets better. Have you gotten to know Lieutenant Cha`Dak? I thought you two would become good acquaintances.

CSO_Storal says:
:: looks at the CO:: CO: I’ll do it sir.

OPS_Lowell says:
::sees Ensign McHugh arrive on the bridge::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Haven't got a chance to actually talk to him.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Mruil:  I knew you wouldn't want to miss this one.  I was surprised that they had you on another assignment.  Of course Doctor.  ::turns to Cha`Dak::  CTO:  Lieutenant, would you show Doctor Mruil to his quarters.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: Sonja: That's true.  But I just wondered.  ::finishes her coffee:: Well, I guess I've given you the grand tour.  Anything else you need to know?

EO_Powers says:
@XO: I've got you now. ::makes a terrible move, which opens himself up to lose::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Yes Captain.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::glances at the CTO:: CTO: Why you are a Klingon! Extraordinary!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  I believe you have science teams to organize Commander; you'll be needed here.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, Ensign McHugh has arrived to take the Doctor to his quarters.

CSO_Storal says:
Self: Thank you, sir. CO: Yes you are correct.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to the Doctor as he enters the TL behind him:: Doctor Mruil: I have heard others say as much.

XO_Linard says:
@::takes his queen:: EO: Check mate

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Well according to my schedule here my lesson is suppose to be on "How to give a Routine Physical" … sounds interesting enough, so how do you give one … without your patient squirming?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:   I think Doctor Mruil would prefer getting to get to know our new CTO.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Well he does have his hands full; I know how that feels.

EO_Powers says:
@::falls off his chair stunned::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
TL: Deck 4.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::smiles and goes into the turbolift with the CTO:: CTO: I can imagine ... I didn't know any Klingons were serving on the Apache. I must say, I have only met a few. You are quite an interesting species, if somewhat foolishly naive. ::turbolift doors close in front of them::

OPS_Lowell says:
::motions Ensign McHugh to take the day off::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: I see sir.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Commander Linard manages to defeat Ensign Powers in their game of 3-Dimensional Chess.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::takes a breath, looking straight ahead::

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets a devious look in her eye:: Sonja: Well, I could give you a physical and go through it step by step if you would like.

EO_Powers says:
@::gets up:: XO: Well done.

XO_Linard says:
@::grins at the EO:: EO: That was too easy ... I think you let me win.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::feels one of Cha`Dak's biceps:: CTO: But your reputation for physical prowess is unparalleled... ::mentally measures the muscle:: ...and well earned I imagine.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::returns to her seat and leans back... somewhat exhausted ::

Sonja_Davore says:
::totally innocent about the pain and aches that physicals cause::  CMO: Oh yes please!

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: No better way to learn!

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Here we go again, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::slowly turns to gaze at the Doctor menacingly, before returning to his perusal of the turbolift doors::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Okay well, first of all you need to change into an examination gown.  They're in that drawer over there. ::points::

XO_Linard says:
@TO/EO: Well I don't know about either of you, but I'm a little hungry ... anyone for something to eat?

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes the XO's chair again:: CO: As you said, Captain … indeed an interesting individual. ::takes note of CO's reaction::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CSO:  Yes, we're in for quite an adventure with this one...
