Star Trek: Apache - Episode #20
Week #1
Mission: "Neutral Parties"

Host Jafo says:
The Apache, with the Pioneer in tow, rendezvoused with the USS Greenland. The Greenland transported engineering teams and repair supplies over to the Apache to assist with repairs to the damaged New Orleans Class vessel. Sector commander Captain Gotoh came aboard the Apache to discuss the recent situation with the crew's de-evolution.

Host Jafo says:
Having made it back to Starbase 366, a dry dock was made available to the ship and the crew was given one weeks shoreleave aboard the station while Engineering teams set to repair as much of the ships damage as possible. Now, repaired and resupplied for its mission to Galen IV, the Apache has slipping its berth at Starbase 366.

Host Jafo says:
Having set course for the Klingon Empire, they have been ordered to pick up Ambassador K'laas who has agreed to act as a neutral mediator in the Talarian/Tzenkethi conflict. The Apache will ferry the Ambassador to Galen IV, a historical significant site, where the negotiations will take place.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Pretty well, Captain. Everything seems to be on schedule without a hitch.

EO_Tana says:
::coughs into his hand, carefully holding a fiber between his fingers to keep the lines straight:: *CEO*: Most of the minor work is done, Commander. ::coughs low, hoping it doesn't carry:: We're trying to get the sensors fully online. Some of the primaries were down.

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Acknowledged, Tana. Keep up the good work.

SO_Zria says:

Host CO_Linard says:
FCO: ETA, Mister Terman?

CNS_Lux says:
::rolls her shoulders back and then forward again as the turbolift reaches her destination and then steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge::

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: No problems yet, I guess that means I’ve taught them well. ::chuckles::

EO_Tana says:
*CEO*: Aye sir. ::closes the communications channel and opens a hatch, pulling out the gnawed ODN lines and starts to feed in the new lines one by one:: Self: Three down, two-hundred-ten to go…

FCO_Terman says:
::looks down at his console briefly:: CO: Still a couple of days.

OPS_Marsland says:
CO: Captain, should I inform the Ambassador on Qo’noS of our ETA?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Captain, may I have a word with you ... in private?

SO_Zria says:
::moves her head from side to side stretching her neck ... taps a few buttons on her console logging the sensor readings and diagnostic results::

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: FCO: Acknowledged... ::looks back at OPS:: OPS: Yes, please do so, Mister Marsland.

CNS_Lux says:
::steps into the station behind the commanding chair, and puts her hands on the rail and looks around the bridge::

Host CO_Linard says:
::grins and winks at the CEO:: CEO: Good, then that means you can take the bridge while I speak with Mister Cha`Dak...

CEO_Yeung says:
::smiles:: CO: Will do, Captain.

Host CO_Linard says:
::motions to her Ready Room:: CTO: Of course, Chief.

FCO_Terman says:
::presses a few buttons and opens a game of pong with a silent alarm so that if anything happens, he'll know::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to Ensign Seti:: TO Seti: Man tactical for a moment. ::follows the Captain to her Ready Room::

OPS_Marsland says:
COM: Qo'noS: Ambassador K'laas: This is the USS Apache, I just wanted to inform you of our ETA to Qo’noS. We will arrive in approximately two days.

Host CO_Linard says:
::heads into the Ready Room with Cha`Dak::

OPS_Marsland says:
::waits for a response::

CNS_Lux says:
::is relieved to see that at least the bridge crew is recovering well from their traumatic events not too long ago::  CEO: Good afternoon, sir.  ::looks down at him from where she stands::

Host CO_Linard says:
::motions to a chair:: CTO: Won't you have a seat?

MO_Lorat says:
CMO: Doctor, it looks like Shayla has replicated all the medical supplies we will need.  Shall I check the medications?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: No thank you, Captain.

EO_Tana says:
Self: What the... ::ducks his head quickly as a lubricant drops down on his forehead:: Ah, darn it. ::pinches off the tube with his fingers and bends it under to keep it shut while he continues stringing the lines, stinking of lubricant::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods at CNS:: CNS: Good afternoon, Counselor. How are you?

YN_Duzol says:
::tidies up around the Captain's desk and looks up as the CO enters:: CO: Oh, I'm sorry Captain ... I was just picking up these reports to deliver to the various departments. ::glances to Cha`Dak and back:: CO: Can I get you and the Commander anything?

CMO_Naegle says:
Lorat: Please do.

OPS_Marsland says:
CEO: Sir, the Ambassador has acknowledged receipt of our message.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::remains standing with hands clasped behind his back::

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

MO_Lorat says:
::goes into the pharmacy area to do an inventory of medications::

Host CO_Linard says:
YN: No thank you Duzol ... we'll just be a moment.

CNS_Lux says:
::turns to her right and walks down the few steps to the platform on the bridge:: CEO: Well, I'm relieved to see that the bridge crew are at least mentally stable enough to run this ship.  A lot of the other crewmembers didn't fair as well.  They keep getting nightmares and, as you know, a few had been relieved of duty on Starbase 366 because they couldn't take the mental strain any longer.

SO_Zria says:
::rubs at her temples knowing that she has overlooked something::

YN_Duzol says:
::nods and quickly removes the PADD's making his way out of the Ready Room and onto the bridge::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::growls as Duzol passes him::

EO_Ko-Dah says:
::smiles to herself:: EO: You're too big for these upper tubes, Ensign. ::slips her thinner frame in beside Tana and brings the toolkit with her, repairing the damaged lube line::

Host CO_Linard says:
::turns to the CTO and sees him growl: CTO: Is everything okay, Commander?

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods slowly:: CNS: I can understand. How is your progress with helping them deal with the nightmares?

YN_Duzol says:
::walks over to the CEO and nods as he hands over a PADD:: CEO: Weekly crew report, Commander.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::clears his throat:: CO: Of course, Captain.

CNS_Lux says:
::begins pacing a little, and almost bumped into Duzol::  YN: Whoops … sorry.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::seems to be hesitating, as if what he wants to say is difficult for him::

EO_Tana says:
::smiles tiredly at her:: Ko-Dah: You might be right, but I have a lot of time working on minor systems like this. ::finishes two junctions and starts running the feeds for the backup and testing lines to the sensor palette::

CMO_Naegle says:
Mrandle: Have you made an inventory of what you might need, Juseca?

CEO_Yeung says:
::takes the PADD:: YN_Duzol: Thank you, Yeoman.

Host CO_Linard says:
::watches Cha`Dak struggle with his words and remains patient::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, there is something I wish to ask of you.  However...

YN_Duzol says:
::makes his way over to the Science station and slips a PADD onto Zria's terminal, whispering:: SO: I sent your request through to Captain Gotoh personally ... I marked it urgent, so it would be taken care of a little quicker. Good luck on the Vesuvius, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: Well Commander, I'm not sure what to say.  No counseling schools can prepare you for this.  ::paces again, walking around Duzol this time as she paces back::

MO_Mrandle says:
::calling from the lab:: CMO: I have, and I have replicated what I need for my experiments.  Thank you, Doctor.

Host CO_Linard says:
::folds her arms and sits on the edge of her desk, waiting for him to continue::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::more loudly, with assertion now:: CO: ...I would like this to remain between the two of us, for the time being.

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: It's not really a nightmare, you know?  It wasn't a dream.  It really happened, and you know, they just need to get over it.  And I'm not exactly sure how to do that yet.  I was thinking, maybe a group counseling session.  Sometimes it helps if one sees that other people are in the same boat as them.  Support and all that you know?

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks into her office and remembers dinner with Tom:: Self: Now why did that come to mind?

EO_Ko-Dah says:
::repairs the lube line and reattaches it, working at the test plate:: EO: We could have handled this you know, sir. You're sick; you shouldn't be on the job. ::glances at the Trill, and then turns back to the test plate, running a test on the array::

SO_Zria says:
::glances at the PADD from Duzol:: YN: Thank you, Duzol.  I appreciate your assistance.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CTO: What goes on in these walls isn't for the rest of the crew to worry about Commander, please continue.

YN_Duzol says:
::smiles and gives her a wink:: SO: I'm sure you'll be happy there... ::heads for the turbolift::

CEO_Yeung says:
::leans forward, elbows resting on his knees:: CNS: Group support sounds like a good idea. Can you arrange it?

OPS_Marsland says:
::checks subspace communications and notes a few freighters bickering about selling prices, a couple small tour vessels, nothing exciting::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks her right in the eyes:: CO: I seek your permission to wed D'Layna Abbott.

EO_Tana says:
::finishes the last feeds and tests them all for a firm seal before closing the examination hatch:: Ko-Dah: Yes, well I was going crazy cooped up in my quarters and being followed around Engineering by that nurse. Up here, it's just the machines and me and that suits me fine.

SO_Zria says:
::can't hide her smile as a result of Duzol's infectious energy and turns to look again at the PADD::

Host CO_Linard says:
::a wry grin comes to her face:: CTO: Well I'm sure the Lieutenant would be flattered, Commander. But shouldn't you be asking her this?

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks around and sees that all is well here:: All: I'm going up to the bridge to check on some crewmembers who were injured by each other during our last adventure.  I won't be long.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: CEO: With Commander Storal's permission, of course.  However, if this group counseling is approved, I was wondering if you would be so kind as to grace us with your presence there?  It helps a lot when others see that even the department heads have the same fear. ::smiles a little::

YN_Duzol says:
::steps into the turbolift and descends through the ship to various decks where he needs to deliver PADD's::

CMO_Naegle says:
::without waiting for an acknowledgement, walks out of sickbay and into the nearest turbolift::  TL: Bridge!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::feeling slightly sheepish:: CO: I did, Captain … although it was a while ago now. At the time she was not as interested, but since our last incident, and D’Layna’s dangerous situation, I think she has changed her mind.

CEO_Yeung says:
::smiles:: CNS: Sure, I don't mind at all.

EO_Ko-Dah says:
::whistles low as the diagnostics come back green:: EO: If you say so, Ensign. ::lets go of the rungs and slides down the small incline, dropping to the landing underneath.

FCO_Terman says:
::gets to level 20 thinking her may win today::

OPS_Marsland says:
::notes many ships traveling through the area, including a freighter in the shipping lanes traveling on a parallel course to them::

EO_Tana says:
::follows her, landing not as gracefully, and swaying before he catches a rung to steady himself. Taps his combadge:: *CEO*: Tana to Commander Yeung.

CMO_Naegle says:
::waits as the turbolift hums along from deck nine to deck one::

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Yeung here, what is it Ensign?

SO_Zria says:
::makes a few adjustments on her console and looks at the results::

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CTO: I understand. Sometimes it's those situations that reaffirm our feelings for someone. ::pauses as if thinking of someone herself and then grins again:: Of course Commander, you have my blessings.

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: But you see, having you there would mean a great deal to the crew, and it'll do a lot for the crew morale, and things like that?  You sure you don't want to reconsider and join us there?

OPS_Marsland says:
::notices the FCO's console set to a game of Pong and grins as he sends a power bump to the console, resetting his game::

AdmnAsst_Ryn says:
*CNS*: Counselor Lux, this is Petty Officer Ryn. Do you have a moment?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: My thanks Captain ... although, there is one more thing I must ask of you.

EO_Tana says:
::wipes his brow, getting a fresh whiff of the lubricant:: *CEO*: Sir, we're getting green lights on the targeting sensor on Deck 4, section 15. Can you confirm on the bridge?

CNS_Lux says:
::pauses in her talk with the CEO:: CEO: Just a second.  ::taps her combadge::  *Ryn*: Yes?

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the turbolift at the bridge and looks around::

SO_Zria says:
::turns her head when she hears the turbolift doors open::  CMO:  Greetings Doctor.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks as if she was about to stand but pauses:: CTO: Of course...

FCO_Terman says:
::stares blankly as the game closes and reboots:: Self: No…

OPS_Marsland says:
::hears the turbolift doors open and looks up to see Janet walk onto the bridge … flashes her a quick smile::

CEO_Yeung says:
::blinks at Lux:: CNS: Uh, Counselor, I said ‘yes’...

CNS_Lux says:
::moves away from the center of the bridge for a moment as she talks with her Administrative Assistance::

AdmnAsst_Ryn says:
::shuffling papers:: *CNS*: I needed to speak to you about your order of sedatives for Chief Rulm...

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: But ... don't you want good crew morale? And … oh, you said yes? Oh, that’s great!

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: Greetings, I've just come up here to check on how things are going.  ::smiles quickly at the OPS::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::takes a breath and begins:: CO: Sir, it is my understanding that we will be arriving at Qo’noS shortly. I wish for the ceremony to be held there. But it would be an honor if you would officiate the proceedings.

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: I'll check. ::gets up and heads to the engineering post::

CNS_Lux says:
::smiles widely at the CEO:: CEO: That's great ... we'll make a time or something. *Ryn*: Yes?  What about it?

FCO_Terman says:
::closes down pong and opens up another great oldie, Space Invaders::

CNS_Lux says:
::tries to remember what sedative, because she doesn't remember ordering any::

SO_Zria says:
::nods:: CMO:  Of course, Doctor.  If I can be of any assistance please feel free to ask.

CEO_Yeung says:
::checks the readings:: *EO*: All green up here, Ensign. Good work.

OPS_Marsland says:
::notices the same freighter has now moved onto an intercept course with the Apache::

AdmnAsst_Ryn says:
*CNS*: Well, you prescribed Zyathamoxin ... and Chief Rulm is Ferengi, he's allergic to it.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: Well, for starters, how have you been doing since we came back to our senses?

OPS_Marsland says:
CEO: Sir, there is a freighter in the shipping lanes here that has been paralleling our course for some time. They have now altered their course to intercept our own.

Host CO_Linard says:
::smiles widely:: CTO: It would be my honor Commander, however, I don't need to tell you of the urgency of our mission. It may need to be placed on hold until we return...

CNS_Lux says:
*Ryn*: Oh, my apologies then.  Has any been prescribed to Chief Rulm yet?

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Can you identify it?

OPS_Marsland says:
::runs another scan of the vessel, seeing if it can be identified::

EO_Tana says:
::climbs down the ladder after the Miradorn technician:: *CEO*: Good to hear, Commander. Moving on now. Tana out. ::closes the channel with one hand and loses his grip, unable to fully hold his weight and drops a few feet to the grating below::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Of course Captain, at the early possible opportunity. May I presume to start making the arrangements?

SO_Zria says:
CMO: Aside from a few headaches, I've been doing well.  I believe that the headaches are due to rapid change in physiology and diets.  However, I was thinking of coming by sickbay for my physical, since I have yet to make it down there since coming aboard.

AdmnAsst_Ryn says:
*CNS*: No sir ... and Doctor Karl won't change the prescription without your approval. I had tried to get it filled with Esutaph instead...

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: That would be a good idea.  Whenever it is convenient for you to come down.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CTO: Of course, by all means, but it's hard to say how long something like this may take. You do understand that, don't you?

EO_Ko-Dah says:
::just makes it out of the way of the Trill fall zone and crouches quickly next to her boss, reaching for her badge:: *Sickbay*: Ko-Dah to Sickbay…

OPS_Marsland says:
CEO: Sir, the signature is in the Federation database and gives its design origin as unknown.  However, in our own database it is listed as the freighter "Beta-Babe".

CNS_Lux says:
*Ryn*: Doctor Karl wouldn't give the sedative anyways?  He'll check for allergies before administrating it.  I will speak to Doctor Karl about it.

SO_Zria says:
::nods:: CMO:  Of course, thank you Doctor.  Perhaps if you have time, I will accompany you when you return to sickbay.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::once again making eye contact, and with a little less gruffness in his voice:: CO: Aye Captain, I have waited this long ... and she is worth the wait.

CNS_Lux says:
*Ryn*: Thank you Ryn.

AdmnAsst_Ryn says:
*CNS*: Thank you sir ... sorry sir.  Ryn out.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: All right.  That will be fine.

Host CO_Linard says:
::grins:: CTO: I'm sure she is...

FCO_Terman says:
::the boss lets out a computerized evil laugh::

EO_Tana says:
::catches her hand and taps the badge once to close the channel:: Ko-Dah: I'm okay... ::rolls on to his side and up on his knees, getting up with the help of the ladder:: I'm fine. Just go on out. I need some air is all. ::urges her into the Jefferies tube and follows::

CEO_Yeung says:
::raises eyebrows:: *CO*: Captain, we have a freighter on an intercept course with us. It's listed in our database as the ‘Beta-Babe’.

Host CO_Linard says:
::gets up to leave:: CTO: Oh, and Commander … congratulations. ::shakes his hand::

CNS_Lux says:
*Ryn*: No apologies needed, Lux out.

SO_Zria says:
::smiles and returns her attention to the sensors::

FDO_Marshal says:
*FCO*: Ensign Terman, this is Flight Deck Operations ... please respond.

FCO_Terman says:
*FDO*: Jordan Terman, at your service.

Host CO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge::*CEO*: Understood, Commander ... on my way.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::as he's turning to the door, turns back, taking her hand in a crushing grip:: CO: You honor my name, Captain Linard.

CNS_Lux says:
*Karl*: Lieutenant Lux to Doctor Karl.

EO_Tana says:
::rubs his ribs and crawls out the tube with Ko-Dah, sending her back to Engineering::

Host CO_Linard says:
::cringes slightly at his grip as they enter the bridge::

FDO_Marshal says:
::background noise can be heard:: *FCO*: Sir, we have a situation in the shuttlebay. Are you available?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the Ready Room, allowing the Captain to exit first::

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: How long until we intercept?

FCO_Terman says:
*FDO*: Umm... ::looks around:: Yeah, I don't see why not.

MO_Karl says:
::sleepily:: *CNS*: Yes counselor?  ::yawns:: CNS: How may I help you?

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: Time to intercept?

EO_Tana says:
::waits until she's out of earshot before coughing violently, wiping his mouth to find blood on his sleeve::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks around the bridge observing all the people at their posts::

CNS_Lux says:
*Karl*: Oh, I was not aware that you were in bed.  I'll speak to Doctor Naegle then.  Sorry for bothering you.  Goodnight, and sleep well.  Lux out.

MO_Karl says:
::climbs into bed, having just completed a very long shift in sickbay::

FDO_Marshal says:
*FCO*: Lieutenant Chiron ... again ... will not let any of the Shuttle Technicians anywhere near the Runabout Styx. We may need that runabout for the negotiations and I need you to look into this immediately, Ensign.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::passes the CMO on his way to tactical one:: CMO: Doctor... ::inclines his head in greeting::

CNS_Lux says:
::turns to look at Doctor Naegle:: CMO: Doctor, good afternoon.

OPS_Marsland says:
CEO: One hour, sir.

FCO_Terman says:
::gets up to leave:: *V'Taran*: This is Jordan, could you possibly take over on the bridge for me? Yeah, that’d be great. ::gets up from the flight console::

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to the CTO::

SO_Zria says:
::notices something different about Commander Cha`Dak when he comes out of the ready room, however doesn't speak::

EO_Tana says:
::wipes away the blood into the cloth and pulls his sleeve down some more, making his way toward the portside examination hatch::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Greetings Counselor.  I overheard you talking to Doctor Karl, is there something I can help you with?

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: One hour, captain.

FCO_V`Taran says:
::steps out from a door off the starboard bow of the bridge and heads for the Flight Control Console:: FCO: Right here, Ensign...

OPS_Marsland says:
::waits for the Doctor to get around to his side of the bridge, holding a PADD out for her::

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CEO: Good, that will give us time to prepare.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Report Lieutenant?

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: Well, apparently there has been a mistake and I was wondering if you could get your staff to administer a different medication for one of my patients instead?  I don't think any have been given yet, so that's good.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to OPS as she's talking to the CNS::

FCO_Terman says:
::stops before heading off the bridge:: V'Taran: Good ... please take Flight for me while I'm gone. ::heads off the bridge::

Host CO_Linard says:
::shakes her head:: CEO: Why does he always show up at the perfect time... ::note of sarcasm::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: What kind of medication?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::can see from his tactical station what's been happening on sensors in the last five minutes::

OPS_Marsland says:
CTO: Sir, we have a freighter identified as the ‘Beta-Babe’ on an intercept course. Estimated time of arrival is one hour. ::transfers tactical control back to Cha`Dak::

CNS_Lux says:
::looks up as the CO and the CTO step onto the bridge and then turns her attention back to the CMO:: CMO: So yes ... would you please change Chief Rulm's sedative from Zyathamoxin to Esutaph?  I was not aware that he was allergic to the former, and it would be wise to change the sedative to the latter.  Ferengi’s are generally not allergic to Esutaph … but many develop extreme allergic reactions to Zyathamoxin.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: What preparations do you have in mind?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods in thanks, then looks at Lieutenant Marsland:: OPS: Beta-Babe? Can you confirm that?

OPS_Marsland says:
::hands the CMO the PADD, with a message for her on it::

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: Commander, I want you to prepare a special security team for Reg ... just in case. ::turns back to him:: ...oh, and make sure there's an available cell in the brig.

SO_Zria says:
::monitors the approaching freighter wondering to herself how she missed it ... then thinks about the conversation with Doctor Naegle::

CEO_Yeung says:
::chuckles at hearing the Captain::

CNS_Lux says:
::her ears perk up as the Operations Officer announces a vessel detected on sensors::

EO_Tana says:
::smiles where he has to when passing people, hiding the exhaustion:: *CTO*: Tana to Cha`Dak.

FCO_Terman says:
TL: Main Shuttlebay…

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir.

OPS_Marsland says:
CTO: Yes sir, our database matches it as the Beta-Babe.

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Of course Counselor… ::takes the PADD from the OPS:: …I'll put that through right now.

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: Thank you, Doctor.  Much appreciated.

Host CO_Linard says:
::mutters:: CEO: I don't trust him for a minute.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO Ovl'men*: Lieutenant Ovl’men is your security detail ready?

TO_Ovl`men says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: By the way, who was it that authorized the wrong medication in the first place?

Host CO_Linard says:
::takes a seat in her chair watching the viewscreen::

OPS_Marsland says:
::puts a message on a PADD telling Janet he loves her::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO Ovl'men*: Then have them report to shuttlebay one, immediately.

TO_Ovl`men says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

CNS_Lux says:
::coughs:: CMO: I’m afraid I did, I must admit.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Cha`Dak, here. Go ahead.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Snickering draws the attention of Tom Marsland and he turns to find Mister Wregget standing behind him with a bemused expression on his face.

CEO_Yeung says:
::sits down:: CO: He is quite the sneaky fellow, that's for sure.

CNS_Lux says:
::quickly glance over at the viewscreen::

EO_Tana says:
::picks up a few cases from a storage room, setting them down on an A/G dolly:: *CTO*: Sir, I need to change some phaser emitters in the portside array, but they'll need to be shut down. Can you get permission from the Captain?

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Yeah ... sneaky, that's one word for him.

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks down at the PADD and smiles, then looks serious again:: CNS: Well, why don't you accompany me to Sickbay and I'll get that straightened out?

OPS_Marsland says:
::sighs as he turns to face Ensign Wregget:: Wregget: Can I help you Ensign?

FCO_Terman says:
::arrives at the shuttle bay and looks for Lieutenant Chiron::

SO_Zria says:
::motions for Ensign Burrows to take her console and walks toward the turbolift:: TL: Deck 9…

SO_Burrows says:
::takes Zria's place at science one and makes a few adjustments to the console::

TO_Ovl`men says:
::takes his security team to shuttlebay one, arriving warily::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Stand by, Ensign.

OPS_Marsland says:
::waits for a response from the all too talkative Bolian::

SO_Zria says:
::sees Doctor Naegle and Counselor Lux walking toward the turbolift and holds the door for them::

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: I would be happy to.  ::keeps her blue eyes cool::  Next time, I will check the medical records, with your permission to view those files of course, before subscribing sedatives or medications or otherwise.

FCO_Terman says:
::finds Chiron by the Styx:: Chiron: Ah, there you are. May I ask what you're doing?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, Ensign Tana needs to take the portside phaser array offline.

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Okay, let's go … Zria is holding the door for us.

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: How long will the port phaser array be offline?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Freighter Beta-babe enters visual range of the Apache...

EO_Tana says:
::keeps walking, dragging the dolly behind him and keys open the access way, leaving the dolly in the corridor outside::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: How long, Mister Tana?

CNS_Lux says:
::walks up the few steps:: CMO: Aye sir. ::grins and heads towards the turbolift::  SO: Thank you.

FCO_Terman says:
::heads up to Chiron::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps console:: CO: Freighter within visual range, sir.

CSP_Chiron says:
::looks up from the console his bald-head is deep in:: FCO: Good morning, Ensign ... you see, on Bolarius IX we usually start with good morning to those we haven't seen in awhile.

Host CO_Linard says:
::stands:: CTO: Onscreen.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks toward the turbolift:: CNS: And don't worry, I can understand you didn't know he was allergic.

EO_Tana says:
::looks for the blinking red lights:: *CTO*: We have three emitters down, sir. Maybe 20 minutes.

SO_Burrows says:
::thinks to herself that Ensign Zria needs to have her vision checked:: Self:  How does she see that?

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: I'm relieved to hear that, honestly.

OPS_Wregget says:
Marsland: Oh no sir, nothing at all ... just fine here. ::smiles::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Approximately 20 minutes, sir.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CTO: Tell him he has 10...

SO_Zria says:
::steps aside as the counselor enters:: CNS: Of course, Counselor.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::places the image of the Beta Babe on the main viewscreen::

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: Ah, cocky, you know.  I don't particularly like that trait, and on Earth, ignoring a question is considered impolite.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: When I get through authorizing this change in medication, I'll give you your physical.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Ten minutes, Ensign. That is all you have.

OPS_Marsland says:
::eyes flare with irritation:: OPS_Wregget: You're sure now, Ensign? Because just a moment ago you thought something was funny. So what was it?

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Being a bit generous, aren't we? ::chuckles::

SO_Zria says:
::nods:: CMO:  Thank you, Doctor.

CNS_Lux says:
::steps into the turbolift and turns to see a freighter on the viewscreen::  SO/CMO: Neat. ::steps further aside for the CMO and the SO::

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: Now, you wouldn't want to be considered impolite, would you?

EO_Tana says:
::sags, anticipating the rushed pace:: *CTO*: Aye sir, ten minutes. Ready when you are.

CSP_Chiron says:
::shrugs:: FCO: I wasn't ignoring it ... choosing to respond to it at a later date. ::turns to the runabout:: FCO: Right now, I am realigning the starboard plasma coil. Care to help?

Host CO_Linard says:
::grins:: CEO: You'd have it done in 5 wouldn't you?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Phaser array offline ... now.

SO_Zria says:
::looks at the freighter just before the doors close:: CMO/CNS:  I guess we have company.

OPS_Wregget says:
Marsland: Oh ... just a joke I heard the other day. ::waves a hand in the air and smiles::

CNS_Lux says:
::looks a little worried::  SO: Hopefully, nothing bad.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Well, I hate to brag, but.... ::grins::

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: No, not at all.

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles at the CNS:: SO: I suppose we do.  Does that mean you want to put off your physical?

OPS_Marsland says:
Wregget: So what was it? ::continues berating him for his outburst of laughter::

Host CO_Linard says:
::takes a few more steps toward the forward platform watching the freighter:: CTO: Scan the vessel. How many are onboard?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans the Beta Babe for biosigns::

CSP_Chiron says:
::grins and mutters:: FCO: Yeah, you wouldn't want to dirty yourself with something like this. I understand, sir.

EO_Tana says:
::watches the lights shift to yellow for standby:: *CTO*: Confirmed, sir. Thanks. Tana out. ::closes the channel and hefts one of the large emitters, dragging it over to sit at his foot while he unhooks the seat latches for the burnt out one, catching it:: Self: It's hot! ::drops it and sighs:: I'm getting careless. ::shakes his head::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, I’m picking up no biosigns aboard the vessel.

SO_Zria says:
::exits the turbolift as the doors open:: CNS: Why do you think something bad may happen?  CMO:  No, not at all, I'm sure that Adonica can handle things on the bridge.

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: Ah, I'd just get in the way you see.  I'm not skilled at that type of thing, but the shuttle technicians are. Maybe they'd like to help.

OPS_Marsland says:
::hears Cha`Dak report no one aboard the freighter:: CO: Captain, the Beta Babe is still continuing on its course directly at us.

EO_Tana says:
::picks up the replacement and hefts it, holding it partially in with his shoulder as he slides it carefully into alignment::

TO_Ovl`men says:
::waits patiently with his security detail for the arrival of the Beta Babe::

CNS_Lux says:
SO: On the Apache, you never know. ::grins::

Host CO_Linard says:
::turns and looks back at Cha`Dak:: CTO: Are you sure there is no one aboard?

OPS_Marsland says:
::waits for another excuse from Ensign Wregget::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::checks again:: CO: Reading no lifesigns on board, Captain.

CSP_Chiron says:
::waves a hyper spanner in the direction of a gaggle of technicians angrily:: FCO: I take care of the Styx ... they can go mess up the shuttlecraft Brinkman ... or the shuttlecraft Newell ... or maybe the Goring. But they don't touch the Styx.

SO_Burrows says:
::watches the approach of the freighter, wondering if everyone is simply going to watch its approach or perhaps try to talk to them::

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: Are we within tractor range?

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: Okay. ::walks out of the turbolift with the CNS and SO:: CNS/SO: Shall we?  ::walks the short distance to Sickbay::

SO_Zria says:
CNS: After that incident where we all turned into some kind of animal, I believe you.  ::enters sickbay along with the others::

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: I wonder how it was capable of placing itself on an intercept course if there is nobody on board...

EO_Tana says:
::seats the emitter and flicks the latches on the other, letting it fall to speed things up while he walks back for it's replacements::

CNS_Lux says:
::steps off at Deck 9 with the SO and CMO:: SO: Tell me about it.  ::follows the CMO::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: We are entering tractor range now, sir.

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: My thoughts exactly ... it's come too far a distance to be on an automated course.

EO_Tana says:
::puts down the two fresh emitters and drops the last burnt emitter, dodging it::

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: Then tractor the vessel ... beware of anything suspicious. If he's hiding aboard, he might try to use the beam as a transport device.

CNS_Lux says:
::steps into sickbay:: CMO: So, where do I sign?

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: Did I say something? ::looks at the CSP oddly::

EO_Tana says:
::slips the second emitter into place and seats it, arming it with his thumb as he grabs the last and starts to slip it into place::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir. Initiating tractor lock...

SO_Zria says:
::walks over and sits on a biobed near the CMO's office, leaving her to speak with the Counselor::

CSP_Chiron says:
::turns his back on Terman:: FCO: Maybe you should go see Doctor Naegle and leave taking care of the Styx to me...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the command for the tractor beam::

Host CO_Linard says:
::paces slightly::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The tractor beam locks onto the hull of the Beta-Babe and turns it away from the Apache. As its hull turns, disruptor blasts can be seen on the newly exposed aft section of the vessel.

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: You're... ::sighs::

SO_Burrows says:
::listens to the other conversations on the bridge::

OPS_Marsland says:
::watches the viewscreen and wonders what happened to the freighter::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to where Nurse Lorat Sole is looking at the medical supplies:: CNS:  I'll put the command into the computer and tell it that it is by your authorization.  ::keys in the information::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins scanning the damaged portions of the vessel, trying to identify the weapons signature::

CEO_Yeung says:
::leans forward for a closer look:: CO: Looks like our friend Reg has gotten into some trouble recently...

EO_Tana says:
::jams his finger sliding the last emitter into place and curses loudly in the empty room before slamming it in and arming it:: Self: Stupid… ::sighs and rubs the small gash on his arm, checking all the yellow lights and then taps his badge:: *CTO*: Tana to Cha`Dak. Sir, you can turn the array back on.

CNS_Lux says:
::follows the CMO to the computer console:: CMO: Thank you Doctor.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Acknowledged, Ensign. Good work.

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: It is good that we got this sorted out.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::brings the portside phaser array back online::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Yes, it is.

EO_Tana says:
::tiredly:: *CTO*: Thank you, sir. Tana out. ::closes the channel and slumps against the wall, sliding down to sit on a still-warm emitter, resting his elbows on his knees and watches his hands shake with the exhaustion::

Host CO_Linard says:
::sees the shuttle:: CEO: Obviously… CTO: Can you determine the previous location of the freighter?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, the phaser blasts are reading as disruptor type weapons ... with a polaron energy signature.

SO_Zria says:
::tries not to eavesdrop on the two superior officers, so she tries to concentrate on studying the equipment around her::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps the console:: CEO: Attempting to determine the flight trajectory now...

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: This isn't getting anywhere.

CNS_Lux says:
::waits for the doctor to give her clearance::

OPS_Marsland says:
::accesses polaron energy information in the SF Database::

CMO_Naegle says:
Computer: Computer, any further medication changes for Crewman Rulm's psychiatric care are to be put under the authorization of Counselor Lux.

EO_Tana says:
::wipes cold sweat and leftover lubricant from his brow and hangs his head to rub his neck painfully::

Host CO_Linard says:
OPS: Can you tap into the freighter's computer system to disengage the engines?

Host Computer says:
CMO: Authorization acknowledged, pharmaceutical access granted to Counselor Ligeia Lux.

SO_Burrows says:
::looks at the readings that the CTO is quoting from and attempts to access the freighters computers::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CEO/CO: A Polaron energy source would indicate an attack from any of several species … the Jem'Hadar, Romulans, Tzenkethi, or Doosodarian to name a few.

OPS_Marsland says:
CO: Working now Captain. ::attempts to access the computer system on the freighter and initiate a system shutdown of the engines::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: There you go, Counselor.  All set.

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: I do not mean to impose.  But do you think you can give me access to all medical files for everyone on board this ship?  Um ... I would only ask for limited use, for psychiatric purposes only, of course.

CSP_Chiron says:
::turns to Terman:: FCO: What do you want from me, Ensign? I take care of the Styx, and I fly it ... and I keep all these other kids that Command sends us to fly shuttles in line. And I think I do a hell of a job.

EO_Tana says:
::coughs low and clutches his uniform jacket, pulling it tighter around him to ward off the chill before getting up and slowly loading the burnt emitters onto the dolly::

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes a deep breath:: CNS: I'd prefer to keep that on a case-by-case basis, if you don't mind.  I'm very protective of this crew and their personal privacy.

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: You do an excellent job, but maybe you should let the technicians do their job.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: CMO: Understood.

OPS_Marsland says:
CO: No luck Captain, the computer systems are locked out and jammed that way.  I think the easiest way to stop the ship might be to fire on the engines.

CSP_Chiron says:
::frowns at the gaggle of technicians who act as if they aren't paying attention to what is going on:: FCO: They're just kids ... what do they know about taking care of a Danube class Runabout.

Host CO_Linard says:
::takes a seat:: CEO: I wonder what he was up to this time?

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: I’m sorry; I’ve just been here too long and seen too much … you understand.

EO_Tana says:
::locks the emitter access room again and works the dolly's controls one-handed, holding his ribs and with the other as he begins the slow march back to Engineering::

SO_Zria says:
::drums her fingers on the biobed as she studies the bio-sensors, reaches over to the nearby console making a few minor adjustments to them, nodding as they recalibrate themselves::

TO_Ovl`men says:
::walks over to where the two FCO’s are arguing:: CSP/FCO: Is there a problem here, gentlemen?

OPS_Marsland says:
CO: Captain, we could beam over and attempt to access the engines from there.

FCO_Terman says:
TO: No, not at all.

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks to see if Zria has given up on her yet::

CNS_Lux says:
::smiles:: CMO: I understand.  I thought it would easier if I don't have to ask you to release information as I need it.  Anyways...  ::taps into the computer, changing the prescriptions::  I will let you get back to work.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Could be because of his little smuggling business, but I've got a feeling it's going to be related to our mission.

TO_Ovl`men says:
::looks at FCO Chiron questioningly::

Host CO_Linard says:
OPS: I'd rather not, Mister Marsland...

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Thank you for understanding.  Good day, Counselor.

CSP_Chiron says:
::shrugs at the TO and waits for Terman to respond::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CEO/CO: Agreed. It wouldn’t surprise me if Reg’s gotten himself mixed up with the Tzenkethi.

FCO_Terman says:
TO: Now, if you don't mind, I have some business with Chiron.

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: G'day.  ::nods to the SO and then heads out of sickbay::

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CEO: I was thinking the same thing...

TO_Ovl`men says:
FCO/CSP: Just remember ... you're Starfleet officers, act like it.

EO_Tana says:
::after putting the dolly and old emitters away, he manages to find an empty lift and rides it down to engineering, shaking and sweating badly::

TO_Ovl`men says:
::returns to his security detail::

SO_Zria says:
::nods as the counselor walks away::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks out of the pharmacy area and sees Zria.  SO: Well, are you ready for your physical?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, the freighters shields are offline.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: An away team, perhaps?

CSP_Chiron says:
::glaring after Ovl'men:: FCO: Why I'm a full Lieutenant ... I outta take a spanner to his noggin!

SO_Burrows says:
::watches the screen as she is able to access the freighter's computer system:: CO:  I've managed to break into the freighter's computer systems. However, most of the systems have been wiped clean. It looks like the only computer system up and running is the navigational computer.

SO_Zria says:
CMO:  Yes Doctor, whenever you are.

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: You are trained to fly a ship; they are trained to fix it.

CNS_Lux says:
::enters her office again and nods to Ryn:: Ryn: Thank you for notifying me.  All is taken care of now.  So ... when is my next appointment?

Host CO_Linard says:
Burrows: Blank? Can you disable the engines?

CSP_Chiron says:
::grimaces and mumbles towards Terman:: FCO: Aye sir...

EO_Tana says:
::wipes of his brow again and gets a glass of water, draining it in one sitting, before tapping on the console, bringing up status reports that look somewhat blurry to him::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, I have a bad feeling about this.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: SO: No better time than the present.  Please lie down on that biobed you're sitting on.

SO_Burrows says:
CO: I'll do what I can, and yes, it's like they've been erased ... or, perhaps never used.  ::tries to access control to the freighter's engines to shut them down::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The extended strain of tractoring a vessel moving at warp for an extended period of time is starting to cause a feedback loop to form in the tractor emitter.

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: I'm glad we have that cleared out, now let these gents do their job, or I'll come visit you again, and believe me, you don't want me to visit you again.

SO_Zria says:
::follows the doctor's orders and lies down:: CMO:  I imagine you have a point there.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::can feel the ship beginning to shake:: 

EO_Tana says:
::sits heavily on one of the stools and shakes his head to clear it, reading the status reports again, noting the new distribution of power and wondering what's going on, on the bridge::

Host CO_Linard says:
Burrows/CEO/CTO: My guess is erased ... whatever Reg was up to, he didn't want to be found out.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, I suggest we drop out of warp while tractoring the ... vessel. ::feels silly saying Beta Babe::

SO_Burrows says:
CO:  Is this Reg character some kind of smuggler?

CSP_Chiron says:
::nods:: FCO: Okay Ensign ... but I'm going to watch them like a hawk! ::turns to the Technicians and waves them over:: Techs: Stop acting like you aren't listening and get over here...

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CTO: Do it...

CMO_Naegle says:
::puts the diagnostic dome over the SO:: SO: So you say you've been having headaches?  How often and how bad?

FCO_Terman says:
CSP: Fine, and do a good job of it. I don't want anyone messing around with my shuttles any more than you do. ::heads off to the turbolift::

SO_Burrows says:
::continues to try to shut down the freighter's engines::

AdmnAsst_Ryn says:
CNS: Actually, you have an appointment with Lieutenant JG Birkley Megowa.  You're the only one on the ship that knows how to sign.

EO_Tana says:
::goes to take another sip of water before realizing the glass is empty:: Self: Stupid glass... ::gets back up and walks to the replicator, refilling the water and sitting down again::

FCO_Terman says:
TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Linard says:
Burrows: You could say that Ensign ... mercenary ... smuggler... he did whatever someone paid him enough to do, basically.

SO_Zria says:
CMO: They are mild, just continuous and annoying.  ::thinks a moment:: I would estimate that it has been for the last two days.

FCO_Terman says:
::tucks his hands into his pockets as he awaits his arrival at the bridge::

EO_Tana says:
::looks tiredly at the screen and rubs his neck to stall the pending headache, unzipping his tunic and jacket a bit to cool down::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::accesses flight control and brings the Apache to full impulse::

SO_Burrows says:
::raises her eyebrows a bit at the CO's comment:: CO:  I see.  ::tries the commands again::

CNS_Lux says:
Ryn: Oh … well, send him in. ::walks into her office::

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods at the SO's comments and gets a medical tricorder and runs it over the SO's head::

AdmnAsst_Ryn says:
CNS: Actually, you're the patient this time.

CNS_Lux says:
::blinks and steps back and looks at Ryn:: Ryn: Excuse me?

FCO_Terman says:
::reaches out one hand:: Self: What the...? ::looks at a strange coin that he can't remember putting in the pocket ... or even having::

Host CO_Linard says:
OPS: How is the tractor beam holding up?

EO_Tana says:
::checks over all the status reports and then annotates them, sending a short form upstairs to the commander for review::

SO_Burrows says:
::tries one last command:: Self: If this doesn't stop the freighter's engines, then I don't know what will.

OPS_Marsland says:
::checks the tractor beam::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: While the freighter Beta-Babe remains at warp, the Apache drops to impulse … a move, which blows out the tractor beam generator but not before ripping off the aft section of the freighter.  After a serious rocking, both the Apache and the freighter come to a relative stop.

Host Jafo says:
