Star Trek: Apache - Episode #19
Week #10
Mission: "Evolution"

Host Jafo says:
The crew of the Pioneer, having developed an antigen to counteract the de-evolution of the Apache crew, transported to the Apache and began to administer their cure. Having reestablished control of the environmental systems, the Pioneer Away Team managed to distribute a gaseous form of the antigen throughout the ship.

Host Jafo says:
Meanwhile, the small alien vessels immediately reacted to the change in the Apache crewmembers by launching a coordinated assault on the Pioneer. Their electrical attacks soon caused all systems on the Pioneer to burn out and fail. The remaining crew was forced to seek shelter in the escape pods and abandon ship.

Host Jafo says:
On the Apache, the crew slowly returned to normal again. Doctor Kerlan was, apparently accidentally, transported aboard one of the alien ships where a short alien creature attempted to communicate with him. The creature examined him closely and then transported him back to the Apache before the convoy of alien ships warped out of the area.

::on the bridge, managing department reports::

SO_Zria says:
::lying on her back in a Jeffries tube working on replacing power conduits for the sensors::

CMO_Naegle says:
:in Sickbay still amazed at the transformation::

EO_Tana says:
::frowns at the medical technician hovering near him and tries to ignore her as he makes his way to the lift::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: How much longer until we have weapons systems online?

FCO_Terman says:
::lying in sickbay, wishing he were at the wheel right about now::

Host CO_Linard says:
::sighs and decides to leave the mess for now::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: With the hulk of the Pioneer in tow, the Apache makes its way back to Starbase 366 at warp 3 while crews continue to repair the damage caused by the recent events.

Host CO_Linard says:
:;exits the Ready Room and heads onto the bridge::

SO_Zria says:
::replaces the burned out conduits and crawls deeper into the tube to the next junction::

EO_Tana says:
::steps into the lift and leans on the side a little:: *CTO*: I can't give you a precise answer yet, as I'm not in Engineering. Update you in five minutes?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
All: Captain on Deck!

Host CO_Linard says:
FCO: What's our ETA, V’Taran? ::raises her hand at the CTO and nods with a smile::

SO_Zria says:
::looks at the tangle of wiring:: Self: This could take forever.

CEO_Yeung says:
::stands and nods to the captain:: CO: How are you feeling, sir?

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
CO: Captain, estimated time of arrival to starbase is 2.4 days.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to Jordan:: FCO: Well Mister Terman, let me check you out here.  What in the world were you doing?

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: I'm coming around Commander, how about you? You look well...

FCO_Terman says:
::looks up at the CMO:: CMO: As far as I remember ma'am, I got in a fight I couldn't have hoped to win.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: It is mainly the torpedoes I am concerned with. We have minimal use of phasers and targeting systems. Please concentrate on the torpedo systems, Ensign.

EO_Tana says:
::tries to frown enough at the tech to stay out of the lift but she smiles back reassuringly and joins him anyway:: TL: Engineering.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: V'Taran: Understood.

FCO_Terman says:
CMO: I got kicked in the side and, as the nurse tells me, I broke a rib or two.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Feeling better, although a bit antsy since I'm not in engineering with all the work needed to done. ::chuckles::

EO_Tana says:
::looks up at the small screen ticking off decks:: *CTO*: Aye sir.

SO_Zria says:
::scoots further into the tube and bumps her head on an outcropping of metal:: Self:  Ouch... ::closes her eyes and uses a relaxation technique to get rid of the pain::

Host CO_Linard says:
::grins:: CEO: I understand ... I remember a day when I couldn't see past a biobed, let alone be commanding a starship.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Long-range sensors, which are operating, indicate a Federation vessel en route on an intercept course.

CMO_Naegle says:
FCO: That was not a wise idea, Jordan.  I'll have to put you to sleep to repair the lung damage.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, sensors are detecting a Federation vessel on intercept course ... heading 144 mark 7.

CEO_Yeung says:
::smiles to the Captain and gets back to the department reports::

EO_Tana says:
::feels a wave of weakness wash over him as he leans off the wall to exit the lift, but doesn't let on to the persistent medical technician who follows him toward engineering::

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: Can you identify it?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::continues to tap the console before him::

FCO_Terman says:
::groans:: CMO: Okay, I'm feeling a bit woozy anyways ... I'd probably pass out soon, if you wanted to wait.

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Ensign Tana, how are things going in engineering?

FCO_Terman says:
CMO: ...but now is a good time.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: ...it is the Excelsior class USS Greenland, sir.

SO_Zria says:
::opens her eyes and then begins to sort through the tangle of wiring replacing the chewed wires and untangling them as she does::

EO_Tana says:
::enters through the blast doors and affixes a glance at the pool table, tapping his badge in reply:: *CEO*: As well as can be expected, sir. Most of the auxiliary systems are still on low-priority. Will you be coming back down here anytime soon?

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CTO: Open a channel…

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir … channel open.

FCO_Terman says:
::finds breathing getting pretty hard::

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets a hypospray and puts a mild sedative in it and applies it to the FCO's neck::

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: As soon as I get these reports done. Speaking of which, compile a report of what we will be needing to repair when we reach the starbase, and what supplies we'll need. Then send the report to me.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: Greenland: USS Greenland, this is Captain Kathleen Linard of the USS Apache.

Host USS Greenland says:
COM: USS Apache: Apache, this is the Greenland ... we're prepared to come alongside and offer assistance to you and your crew.

FCO_Terman says:
::reacts very quickly to the sedative::

CMO_Naegle says:
::sees that Terman wasn't kidding about being ready to pass out::

SO_Zria says:
::looks at the mess of wiring one last time and makes sure that all of them have been reconnected before replacing the panel that had been torn away::

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: Greenland: That would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure your sensors can detect we are in rough shape.

FCO_Terman says:
::begins quietly snoring::

EO_Tana says:
*CEO*: Will do, Commander. I'm going to send Beta and Gamma teams to handle the fore and aft torpedo launchers, per the request from Tactical.  Then I'll start compiling what's left. Will that be all?

Host USS Greenland says:
COM: USS Apache: Understood Apache, we were made aware of your situation en route. Also Apache, we ... umm ... have a passenger who is very interested in beaming over to your ship.

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Aye Tana, carry on.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks to the CEO inquisitively:: COM: Greenland: Oh? And who might that be?

CMO_Naegle says:
::puts the diagnostic dome over the FCO and begins the scan to double check the diagnosis::

CEO_Yeung says:
::raises an eyebrow at the mention of a passenger::

EO_Tana says:
::reaches for his badge again, leaning on the table:: *CEO*: Yes Commander, Engineering out.

FCO_Terman says:
::starts snoring even louder as the dome closes up::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Greenland moves to within transporter range of the USS Apache and comes alongside as they prepare to beam over Engineering Teams and supplies.

CMO_Naegle says:
::notes the area where the one lung was removed::

Host USS Greenland says:
COM: USS Apache: It's probably best if he explains to you first hand, Captain. Greenland out.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Should I go and meet our guest, sir?

SO_Zria says:
*Teval*:  Repairs are complete in Jefferies tube 7, section 4a. You may now conduct a sensor test.

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: That's okay, Commander. I'm curious to find out about this myself...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::gives the Captain a respectful nod::

SO_Teval says:
*SO*: Aye sir, beginning tests now.  ::tests the sensors and does a quick diagnostic::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks to the CEO:: CEO: You have the bridge Commander... ::heads for the turbolift::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Captain.

CMO_Naegle says:
::does an internal scan on the damage to the other lung::

Host CO_Linard says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Transporter Room one…

EO_Tana says:
::calls Caillau and E'tesyo and gets them to take their teams fore and aft to the torpedo launchers before making his way into the main control area to check the Master Situation Display::

SO_Teval says:
*SO*: Systems are showing a marked improvement.  However, diagnostics show that there is still systems damage in Jefferies tube 8, Section 11a.

Host CO_Linard says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the transporter room waiting for the guest to arrive::

SO_Zria says:
*Teval*: Understood, I'm on my way down.  ::sighs to herself after cutting the comlink::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Captain Linard enters the transporter room Chief Scotty Owen works over his controls and a person begins to materialize on the transporter pad.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::suppresses the urge to kill something ... still not having heard from D'Layna::

CMO_Naegle says:
Self: Well, there's a good size piece of bone running around in here that needs to be removed.  Let me get my laser scalpel and have a real look.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: Captain Linard, boy you have got a lot of explaining to do! ::steps down off the transporter pad::

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to CTO:: CTO: Commander Cha`Dak, do you have your list of needed supplies for when we reach the starbase?

Host CO_Linard says:
::sees Gotoh and smiles readily:: Gotoh: Captain Gotoh ... what a... ::hears him cut her off:: ...pleasant surprise.

EO_Tana says:
::snags one of the unused portable stools and sits, going over the offline and marginal systems:: Sudoni: Nurse...

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes scalpel in hand and starts the incision of Terman's chest::

MO_Sudoni says:
EO: Nurse Sudoni... ::smiles::

SO_Zria says:
::rolls over onto her stomach and works her way out of the Jefferies tube and toward the nearest turbolift:: TL: Deck 10…

EO_Tana says:
::nods:: Nurse: Nurse Sudoni, isn't there something else you'd rather be doing? I have work to do. Which I'm sure you do too.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::steps forward and hands her a PADD:: CO: Fifteen separate reports of crewmembers eating other crewmembers? It's a good thing the Pioneer was here to kick your Klingon of his sweet tooth.

Host CO_Linard says:
Gotoh: Won't you please come in? ::remains pleasant::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the PADD for a moment:: Gotoh: I can hardly say any of the crew were in their right mind, sir.

SO_Zria says:
::exits the turbolift and makes her way the short distance to the Jefferies tube entrance she needs to access::

CMO_Naegle says:
::as she gets the incision open she sees the sliver of bone and picks up a tweezers to remove it::

MO_Sudoni says:
::smiles a little more:: EO: Not really, Ensign. I'm doing my work right now. Go on, I'll stay out of everyone's way.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::walks out into the corridor, turning the wrong way:: CO: I decided I need to come out and get an eye on this situation myself, Kathleen. See exactly what trouble the Apache managed to get herself into this time.

FCO_Terman says:
::suddenly snores really deep::

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Sir, good news, we've found Master Chief Abbot.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::mutters:: CO: Right mind? You weren't even in your right skin!

EO_Tana says:
::scowls at her and turns back to the display, picking out the low-priority systems and things they can replace or replicate for themselves, dividing the list into necessary and icing::

CMO_Naegle says:
::jumps a bit as the FCO snores get louder:: Self: I think I need to get him some sinus remedies after this is done.

Host CO_Linard says:
::takes a deep breath:: Gotoh: Well of course not, sir. Haven't you read our reports?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO*: Is she... ::clears throat:: ...well, what is her status?

FCO_Terman says:
::snoring subsides as quickly as it came::

SO_Zria says:
::opens the hatch and climbs down the short distance to the junction where the repairs are needed.  Sees the damage right off and begins the repairs::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::glances at Linard:: CO: How do you think I know you weren't in your right skin, Captain.

Host CO_Linard says:
Gotoh: We were infected by the same phenomenon as the SS Rainbow’s End ... a mission, as I do recall, that Starfleet did send us on.

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: She was unconscious when we found her sir, and naked... ::freezes as he realizes what he's saying::

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes a deep breath and inserts the tweezers into Terman's chest cavity::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: Yes, but what I don't understand is how the Spider's got from the Rainbow's End to here in the first place. Wasn't proper containment of your Away Team handled upon return?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO*: Please repeat that, Lieutenant.

EO_Tana says:
::finishes the list to the best of his foggy judgment and transmits it to the commander's console on the bridge::

Host CO_Linard says:
:;grins haughtily:: Gotoh: Just checking, sir. ::pauses:: Umm ... incidentally, where are we going?

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: She is going to be all right, sir.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::stops at a corner and glances to the left ... turns around and glance to the right:: CO: Main Engineering, Captain ... it's ... that away. ::points in the wrong direction::

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: Gotoh: Yes of course, we always do maintain proper containment standards.

CMO_Naegle says:
::removes the bone sliver and examines the lung a bit closer::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::with relief:: *TO*: That is good. Her death would not have been an honorable one, Lieutenant. You have my thanks.

Host CO_Linard says:
::shakes her head:: Gotoh: This way, sir. ::motions the other way::

SO_Zria says:
::reattaches the power circuit and closes the panel:: Self:  The engineering team has its hands full with all the damage we caused as animals...  ::sighs as she crawls back out of the Jeffries tube::

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: No problem, sir.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::lets Linard correct his direction:: CO: So if you followed proper containment protocols, then how did the spiders get from the Rainbow's End to here? Where were they first found?

CMO_Naegle says:
::sees that it is indeed deflating, but not irreparable::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache and Greenland continue to fly along at warp 3 in formation towards Starbase 366, the Pioneer being towed behind the Apache.

EO_Tana says:
::gets up slowly, resting his hand on the edge of the console:: Belron: Vik… ::coughs:: …we're still experiencing some fluctuations in section 20. Are you sure you got all of those chewed-through lines?

Host CO_Linard says:
Gotoh: We had one of them brought back to the Apache in a container and it was in Sickbay for study. I believe that is where the infection of this crew began.

FCO_Terman says:
::a whistling sound comes from the hole caused by the sliver as the air goes in his nose and out the little pinhole in his lung::

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to CTO:: CTO: Commander Cha`Dak, do you have your list of needed supplies for when we reach the starbase?

CMO_Naegle says:
::sets a laser suture for delicate tissue and begins to work on repairing the lung::

EO_Belron says:
::gives Tana a look only a Bolian can:: EO: Yes sir, rerouted them all myself. Maybe the bad signal is coming from further up the chain? ::joins Tana at the console and starts backtracking::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::nods:: CO: So the first spiders were found in sickbay then...?

SO_Zria says:
::walks to the turbolift, brushing the dust from her uniform as she does:: TL: Bridge…

Host CO_Linard says:
Gotoh: Yes sir, we were in the Argolis cluster when we noticed the crew acting strangely.  I remember leaving the cluster and heading for the Tzenkethi border and then it's a blur from there on...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CEO: I believe Ensign Seti is handling that as we speak, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to CTO::

EO_Tana says:
::covers his mouth as he coughs, nodding:: Belron: I think we're going to have to have a field day replacing everything that might have been bitten or slobbered on in the Jeffries tubes. ::spots the "we who?" look on Belron's  face and sighs:: I know ::coughs:: I know I wasn't here crawling with you, but I was here in spirit. ::smiles:: Keep going.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::mutters as they enter Main Engineering:: CO: Well, you certainly didn't get very far...

Host CO_Linard says:
::follows Gotoh into Main Engineering::

SO_Zria says:
::exits the lift and walks over to Science one relieving Teval::

TO_Verall says:
::is wondering how much longer he can stand carrying the naked Klingon without getting extremely aroused::

SO_Zria says:
::begins running diagnostics to ensure that all sensors are repaired::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::glances around Main Engineering trying to imagine it filled with snow:: CO: Incredible... ::turns to Linard:: ...so then your Chief Medical Officer is responsible for this whole fiasco. If the spider she kept as a sample hadn't gotten loose your crew never would have gone through that. ::makes a note on a PADD::

EO_Tana says:
::catches the gaunt and ghostly figure in the reflection from a console and pales more in response:: Self: I look terrible... ::looks up and spots the captain:: CO: Captain? ::approaches her and her guest::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: Well, we'll have her doctoring Orion Slave repatriates before the week is out...

TO_Verall says:
::wonders why Nadia doesn't look like this when she's naked ... funny, she used to::

CMO_Naegle says:
::sutures up the lung with dissolvable sutures, stitches up the incision and puts Terman in an oxygen tent until his lung inflates::

Host CO_Linard says:
Gotoh: I don't think I'd take it that far, sir. She didn't do it on purpose...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Greenland signals the Apache that they need to send over a second group of supplies.

Host CO_Linard says:
EO: Hello Mister Tana, this is Captain Gotoh … Sector Commander for the Apache. ::introduces them::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CEO: Sir, the Greenland is requesting our authorization to send over a second group of supplies.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::hands on hips:: Linard: Still, she was clearly lax in her duties and we should get a competent Doctor out here. Perhaps one that knows how to keep a sealed sample jar sealed! ::nods at Tana:: EO: Ensign...

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CTO: Give them our authorization and acknowledgement.

EO_Tana says:
::nods at the new arrival::  Gotoh/CO: Hello, is there anything I can do for you Captains?

TO_Verall says:
::finally reaches sickbay, supporting D'Layna:: CMO: Doc...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CEO: Aye sir. ::begins entering the command codes for the transportation::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::turns to Tana:: EO: It's good to meet you son. I understand that you were a bat in this whole frackus?

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks up as Verall brings D'Layna Abbot in:: Verall: What happened Mister Verall?

EO_Tana says:
::glances warily at Linard, but nods anyway:: Gotoh: Yes sir, that's what I was told.

CMO_Naegle says:
::motions him to put her on a biobed::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the weakened EO and is concerned::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: And that some other creature implanted their eggs into you ... toxic eggs, no less ... which, if left untreated could have killed you. Are these reports correct, Ensign?

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods to the EO to go along with Gotoh::

TO_Verall says:
CMO: We found her in a Jefferies Tube, sir. She was unconscious, and we haven't been able to rouse her.

EO_Tana says:
::hesitates, and then nods again, paling a little more at the memory of them swimming in the jar:: Gotoh: That's correct, Captain. But I'm doing much better now and I got quick treatment from the Apache and the Pioneer's staff.

TO_Verall says:
::carries her to the nearest biobed, laying her gently on top of it::

SO_Zria says:
::prepares a report for the Captain stating that the sensors have been fully repaired, sends the report and then returns her attention to tweaking the sensors::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::turns to Linard:: CO: Oh, but I suppose your CMO doesn't bear any responsibility towards that either. It was her lab; it's her responsibility.

TO_Verall says:
CMO: Her pulse is very weak, Doctor. I know you're busy, but ... well, Commander Cha`Dak...

SO_Zria says:
::finishes with the sensors and begins a full systems diagnostic::

Host CO_Linard says:
::annoyed:: Gotoh: Sir, with all due respect, if you're going to degrade my crewmembers, please do it me in private and not in front of anyone else.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The USS Greenland beams over the second set of supplies and sends an acknowledgement message to the Apache.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans the contents of the supplies just beamed across::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::glances at Tana then back at Linard:: CO: Point taken, Captain ... let's get to your bridge. ::nods at the EO:: EO: Thank you, Ensign.

CMO_Naegle says:
Verall: Okay Lieutenant, I understand. I'll make sure that Cha`Dak knows you were on the job.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods to the EO as they turn to leave:: EO: You don't look well, Mister Tana. You should report to sickbay...

TO_Verall says:
::smiles sheepishly:: CMO: Thank you, sir.

EO_Tana says:
::looks relieved to not be a third nacelle anymore:: CO: I'm well, Captain. ::smiles weakly and thumbs to the nurse:: And Doctor Naegle sent one of her Huns with me to make sure I stay that way.

SO_Zria says:
::watches the results of the diagnostics as they cross the screen and nods quietly::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::steps into a turbolift and waits for Linard::

TO_Verall says:
::exits sickbay, heading towards the armory::

CMO_Naegle says:
::checks D'Layna's pulse and finds it to be as weak as Verall said, puts the diagnostic dome over her and watches the displays::

Host CO_Linard says:
::smiles and nods to Sudoni and then winks back at the EO:: EO: She’s just looking out for your best interests… ::nods as she heads for the turbolift::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Doctor Naegle finds that the Klingon female seems to be suffering from severe and advanced dehydration. Her condition is grave, but with proper care she should be all right.

EO_Tana says:
::turns away in relief and sags a little, turning to Sudoni:: Nurse: I'm going to the commander's office for a glass of water. Coming? ::sighs as she nods emphatically and follows, fingering her tricorder::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::holds the door as Linard steps into the turbolift ... leans back against the wall scratching his scalp:: TL: Bridge...

SO_Zria says:
CEO: Commander, science systems have been repaired and are back online.

CMO_Naegle says:
D'Layna: You're just a bit dehydrated, my fine Klingon warrior maiden.  I'll take care of you.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: Truth be known here Captain, I think you have a fine crew. I don't think any one person is to blame for the situation. I'll leave it up to you to discipline Doctor Naegle as you see fit.  I'm far more concerned with these alien vessels that you were never able to fully identify.

EO_Tana says:
::walks into the small partition that looks out on an impressive amount of Main Engineering::

Host D’Layna_Abbot says:
::eyes flicker slightly as she looks like she understands::

CEO_Yeung says:
SO: Well done, Ensign. Once you've cleaned up, you can compile a list of needed supplies, and forward the list to me.

SO_Zria says:
::returns her attention to her console and begins reviewing the data coming in from the sensors:: CEO: Aye sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks again at the scans:: D'Layna: Well, you've got some internal injuries, but nothing that I can't fix.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: Command believes that this is a completely new species that you've discovered ... nothing like them has ever been reported previously. The Science Bureau has dubbed their species the Cyanites and believes that the Spiders and their venom may be the method by which they procreate.

EO_Tana says:
::orders a tall glass of cold water, feeling constantly thirsty lately::

CMO_Naegle says:
D'Layna: Master Chief Abbott, can you hear me?

EO_Tana says:
::ignores Sudoni as she runs yet another scan of him and sits down, resting painfully in the chair as he accepts a PADD from one of the techs:: *CTO*: Engineering to Cha`Dak….

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Cha`Dak here.

SO_Zria says:
::begins compiling the list of needed supplies ... probes to replace those lost within the Argolis cluster, lab equipment to replace that damaged while the crew was transformed::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::waves his hands about:: CO: It's all very strange ... bizarre, even. But then Mister Kerlan from the Pioneer appears to have made First Contact. And we've extrapolated the course of the alien vessels ... we believe they were headed deep into the Gamma Quadrant. Most likely to an area of space that the Federation has yet to visit.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks down at Gotoh:: Gotoh: That's interesting...

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: Their ability to pass through your shields is nothing short of astounding... ::stops speaking as the lift stops at the bridge::

CMO_Naegle says:
::as she's waiting for D'Layna to respond, she gives a quick glance over to Ensign Terman to find that his lung is fully inflated::

EO_Tana says:
::takes another sip to still a coming cough and then speaks:: *CTO*: Forward and aft torpedoes are functional now, sir. You're free to have your weapons technicians run their checks.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
All: Captain on Deck!

SO_Zria says:
::glances at the lift doors briefly as she hears them slide open and quickly returns her attention to her duties::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::comes to attention::

Host CO_Linard says:
::feels the lift halt:: Gotoh:  Well, I'm still waiting to catch up on those reports, myself ... but I did find that something to look into.  It could be a dangerous technology if in the wrong hands.

CEO_Yeung says:
::stands up::

SO_Zria says:
::comes to attention when hearing the CTO::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Acknowledged Ensign Tana, good job.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to the FCO and removes the oxygen tent, but keeps a close eye on him::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks around at the bridge crew:: All: I'm sure you all remember, Captain Gotoh.

FCO_Terman says:
::lies silently on the biobed within sickbay, aboard the Apache, leaving the Argolis Cluster, within the Alpha Quadrant, within the Milky Way Galaxy, and within the Universe…::

EO_Tana says:
*CTO*: Just the messenger, sir. Engineering out. ::closes the channel and sags in the chair, trying to look busy and in control of his shakes::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods with deference to Captain Gotoh::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::steps out onto the bridge with Linard and regards the entire bridge crew as he speaks:: CO: But for now you and your ship have new orders. The situation on the Talarian/Tzenkethi border is heating up. They requested a neutral representative from the Klingon Empire be sent to mediate their dispute. I'm sending the Apache to ferry the Arbiter.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods towards Captain Gotoh::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
CO: Hopefully this time things will go much more smoothly...
