Star Trek: Apache - Episode #20
Week #4
Mission: "Neutral Parties"

Host Jafo says:
The USS Apache has resumed its course for Qo'noS after helping the Talarian transport vessel, VonChek, repair several key systems and damage sustained from its encounter with the Tzenkethi. While the away team was assisting with the repairs, an accident almost took the life of two of its members.

Host Jafo says:
Mister Verall and Mister Tana were ejected into space when an emergency forcefield failed. The pair suffered moderate injuries and were beamed to sickbay to undergo therapy from Doctor Naegle. As the investigation of the Beta Babe continued, Commander Storal and the Apache's newest Officer, Lieutenant Fred Torsian, reported aboard.

Host Jafo says:
As the Apache made its way to Qo'noS, a K'vort class Bird of Prey decloaked alongside matching course and speed. It was identified as the IKS Pagh and Captain Kargan sent a communiqué indicated they had been sent to escort the Apache to Qo'noS and to assure that nothing happened along the way.

CIV_Torsian says:
::steps out of his temporary quarters and into a turbolift patting his uniform down:: TL: Bridge…

CEO_Yeung says:
::on deck 16, organizing engineering teams to modify the deck layout::

Host XO_Storal says:
::sitting in the command chair going over department reports::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Apache docks at Starbase 40-Sierra, it's docking clamps latch into place with a sound thud. The small, "Regula-type" station is only setup to handle one or two ships at a time and the Apache is the only one currently present. The IKS Pagh, meanwhile, holds position orbiting the small station while the Apache takes on crew and supplies.

EO_Tana says:
::in his quarters, in bed, bored out of his skull::

FCO_Terman says:
::grins:: Self: Perfect landing.

MO_Powers says:
::finishes paperwork and leans back in his chair::

CIV_Torsian says:
::steps out onto the bridge:: XO: Afternoon Commander, I hear we've reached Starbase 40-Sierra.

Host XO_Storal says:
CIV: Mister Torsian, we have docked at the Starbase. Your squad will be arriving shortly.

CMO_Naegle says:
::in Sickbay assisting the lab technicians with experiments::

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods and steps to the OPS console:: XO: I will arrange temporary quarters for them, until Deck 16 has been modified.

Host XO_Storal says:
CIV: Actually, that’s been arranged already. Mister Rakhmatullin took care of that this morning.

EO_Tana says:
::sighs and sits up in bed:: Computer: Status on the engineering systems?

CIV_Torsian says:
::raises his eyebrows:: XO: Fine work, Commander. I should have expected that, I suppose. ::walks around the console and stands by the command chair::

CEO_Yeung says:
EO_Belron: Okay Vik, you take Beta team and begin renovating section 21 through 25.

Host XO_Storal says:
CIV: Since we are a tad short handed this afternoon. Do you mind working on the sensor logs from the Beta Babe?

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: Sensor logs sir?

FCO_Terman says:
::begins a flight simulation, to work on those tricky flying skills::

Host Computer says:
EO: Main systems operating normally, system status is nominal.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Security at the Gangway reports that the Marine contingent has reported aboard and has headed for their assigned quarters.

Host XO_Storal says:
CIV: The Beta Babe logs ... or what’s left of them.

MO_Powers says:
::leans too far back and falls backwards in his chair::

CEO_Yeung says:
EO_Ko-dah: Ko-dah, take gamma team and take sections 26 through 30.

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Once the new personnel and supplies finish loading, make best speed for Qo’noS.

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: I'm not an engineer or a scientist sir; I'm a civilized grunt if you will.  Perhaps I should greet my men; they will need to be debriefed.

Host XO_Storal says:
CIV: Very well.

MO_Powers says:
::gets up, puts the chair back how it was and sits down::

CEO_Yeung says:
Ko-Dah: Make sure the rest of the crews report to me.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Aye aye. ::a mischievous glint appears in his eye::

CEO_Yeung says:
Belron: Everything has been moved out of these rooms, and we'll begin by removing sections of the walls according the specifications I gave you. Let's get to work!

EO_Tana says:
::slips out of bed and walks over to the cramped living space and sits down:: Self: What do I do now?  ::looks at the journals and engineering parts in the room lasciviously::

Host XO_Storal says:
*MO*: What’s the status of our injured crewmen, Mister Powers?

EO_Caillau says:
CEO: Aye sir!

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods and steps to the turbolift:: TL: Deck Sixteen… *All Hands*: Attention all Marines report to Deck Sixteen, All Marines report to Deck Sixteen.

MO_Powers says:
*XO*: They are recovering well and have been ordered to rest in their quarters.

Host XO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Jon how are the modifications progressing?

Host XO_Storal says:
*MO*: When are they able to return to duty?

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Sir, do we have everything we need?

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Tana, how are you feeling?

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Contact the Starbase and see if they are finished, Mister Terman.

EO_Tana says:
::drags his eyes away from a damaged flow regulator:: *CEO*: I'm one hundred-percent ready to get back to work, Commander. ::lies::

CEO_Yeung says:
::watches as his people begin removing wall sections:: EO: Good to hear. If you're up for some light work, I want to go down to the shuttlebay and go over the Beta Babe and make sure we didn’t miss anything.

CIV_Torsian says:
::arrives at Deck 16 and exits the turbolift awaiting the marines:: CEO: Afternoon Commander.

FCO_Terman says:
::opens a comlink to the Starbase:: COM: Starbase: Hello, is everything for the Apache aboard?

MO_Powers says:
*XO*: If they feel up to it they can get back to restricted duty today but they can't return to full duty for a few days and they will need to be cleared by either Doctor Naegle or myself.

Host XO_Storal says:
*MO*: Acknowledged.

FCO_Terman says:
::receives a positive reply:: Self: Good.

CIV_Torsian says:
CEO: How are the facilities coming Commander? :: hears the turbolift doors open as a few marines pile out::

EO_Tana says:
::is halfway to his feet and the toolkit when a stitch in his side steals his breath:: *CEO*: Sir... ::covers it as best he can:: …I need clearance from Medical to go back on duty.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Starbase signals that they have completed loading requested cargo and supplies.

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Are we ready Mister Terman?

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Yes, beginning undocking procedures now. ::releases the docking clamps and attempts to ease them out slowly::

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Good the sooner we get to Qo’noS the sooner we can get the Ambassador to the negotiations.

CEO_Yeung says:
::removes the bolts that are holding up one wall:: CIV: Modifications are underway, Lieutenant. They should be completed in less than three days, if all goes well.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Apache slips it's berth at Starbase 40-Sierra and resumes course for Qo'noS, as the IKS Pagh resumes its parallel course.

FCO_Terman says:
::once out in space Jordan slowly accelerates to warp, and just before reaching it does a barrel roll::

MO_Powers says:
*EO*: How do you feel?

CIV_Torsian says:
CEO: Excellent.

CEO_Yeung says:
::attaches anti-grav devices to the wall:: *MO*: John, I need Ensign Tana back to work. Can you clear him for duty?

Host XO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Jon if the opportunity presents itself.  Have one of your staff work on the Beta Babe, and her logs.  There has to be something there that we missed.

EO_Tana says:
::feels like he's caught in the act as he drinks a glass of water to quench the fire in his throat:: *MO*: I'm ready to get back to duty, sir. ::lies again::

CEO_Yeung says:
*XO*: I'll get Tana on it.

PFC_Carver says:
CIV: Private Carver reporting for duty, sir!

Host XO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Good, I don’t want Reg, or whoever got to him, getting a drop on us.

CIV_Torsian says:
::turns and faces Private Carver:: Carver: Front and center Private!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Mister Terman executes his barrel roll, sensors go crazy and alert alarms begin screaming as up becomes down and down becomes up.

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks around and sees his engineers working efficiently:: CIV: I'll be heading back to the bridge for an update. If you need anything, give me a call.

MO_Powers says:
*EO*: I'll be the judge of that. If you really feel up to it, come to sickbay and I will see if you are able to work.

FCO_Terman says:
::laughs to himself:: All: Hold on.

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Mister Terman! What in the Fire Caves was that?

PFC_Johnson says:
CIV: Private Johnson also reporting for duty, sir!

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods to the CEO:: 

FCO_Terman says:
::cringes:: XO: Yes sir? A barrel roll, it was all in good fun.

CEO_Yeung says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge…

EO_Tana says:
::a little too excitedly:: *MO*: On my way, Tana out. ::slips his feet into his uniform shoes and pulls on his gold undershirt, carrying his tunic in his hand as he exits his quarters::

PFC_Mackerby says:
CIV: Reporting for duty, sir. ::steps up::

CEO_Yeung says:
::arrives at deck 1 and exits turbolift::

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Uh ... no.

SGT_Denson says:
::steps off the turbolift with Mackerby and stands in line:: CIV: Reporting for duty, Gunnery Sergeant!

CIV_Torsian says:
Marines: Fall in marines, prepare for debriefing.  Who’s missing?

MO_Powers says:
Karl: He better not be wasting my time or he'll be in here for a week.

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Hardly something that I would expect from someone who was recently promoted.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Oh, okay ... I guess that you wouldn't want that to happen again then, would you?

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: My teams are working on deck 16 and it's going pretty well. What's the status up here, Commander?

EO_Tana says:
::zips up his undershirt and steps into sickbay, trying his best to look healthy:: TL: Sickbay…

SGT_Denson says:
::shouts:: CIV: We are missing Private Guller and Corporal Burn sir!

Host XO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Except for a little bit of hot-dogging by Mister Terman, we are enroute to Qo’noS.

FCO_Terman says:
::corrects him:: XO: Barrel rolling.

MO_Karl says:
MO: I'll get the sedative ready. ::an evil grin appears on his face::

CEO_Yeung says:
::chuckles:: XO: So that's what I felt.

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Yes.

CIV_Torsian says:
*Burn/Guller*: Report to Deck 16 on the double!

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Can you assist with the Beta Babe puzzle?

CEO_Yeung says:
::gives the FCO a stern look:: FCO: Have you any idea how much stress that puts on the Apache? And who do you think is going to fix the ship when you tear her apart?

CPL_Burn says:
::steps off the turbolift with Guller and runs into line at attention:: CIV: Sorry sir! Delay with the turbolifts.

EO_Tana says:
::steps out of the lift and walks the short distance to Sickbay, stopping outside the door in hesitation::

MO_Powers says:
*XO*: What just happened, sir?

FCO_Terman says:
CEO: Umm ... a lot. ::cringes:: CEO: And … you?

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to XO:: XO: Ensign Tana should be on his way to the Shuttlebay. I could join him if you need me to.

PFC_Guller says:
*CIV*: I’m on my way, Gunny!  Turbolifts were too slow so I'm coming down the Jefferies tubes. ::opens another hatch and continues to crawl down now on deck 12::

MO_Powers says:
EO: Come in … unless you’ve changed your mind.

CIV_Torsian says:
*Guller*: Move it, Guller!

Host XO_Storal says:
*MO*: A bit of creative flying, Lieutenant. Is  everything okay?

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks to FCO:: FCO: Then just remember who fixes your bathroom, and fly nice.

PFC_Guller says:
*CIV*: Aye sir, on my way! ::continues to climb down now on deck 14::

FCO_Terman says:
::grimaces, imagining the picture painted in his head by the CEO::

EO_Tana says:
::steps inside Sickbay, staying inconspicuously away from the biobeds::

MO_Powers says:
*XO*: Yes sir, please ask the FCO to be more careful.

CIV_Torsian says:
::steps up to Denson:: SGT: How was your trip, Sergeant?

Host XO_Storal says:
*MO*: Already taken care of Mister Powers.

SGT_Denson says:
CIV: Fine sir, thank you, sir.

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Is the Beta Babe repairable?

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods and steps to Burn:: Corporal: And yours Corporal?

MO_Powers says:
::gets out scanning equipment:: EO: Hop up on the biobed, Ensign.

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: Aye, we’ve done most of the repairs necessary. Tana was going to go down there and check it over.

CPL_Burn says:
CIV: Very fine sir, thank you, sir.

EO_Tana says:
::doesn't move::  MO: Is that necessary?

PFC_Guller says:
::opens a Jefferies tube hatch and pops up closing it behind him:: CIV: Here gunny! ::runs into line and stands at attention::

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Good. What about the sensor logs?

MO_Powers says:
::raises an eyebrow:: EO: Yes, unless you don’t feel up to it.

CIV_Torsian says:
::shouts and stands in front of Guller:: Guller:  Guller!  You're late!  Drop and give me 50!

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Or any thing we can get from her computers?

EO_Tana says:
::still doesn't move:: MO: Isn't my standing a better sign of health?

PFC_Guller says:
CIV: Yes sir! ::drops to the deck and starts on 50 pushups::

CEO_Yeung says:
::shrugs helplessly:: XO: I haven't been able to extract much I'm afraid. Almost everything has been wiped out.

CIV_Torsian says:
::steps back and addresses all the marines:: Marines: As soon as Private Guller is finished, we shall begin the debriefing. *XO*: Is the Observation Lounge in use, Commander?

MO_Powers says:
::starts putting his equipment away thinking he will not need it:: EO: No. If you can't get onto a biobed without cringing then you can't work.

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: We've managed to get bits and pieces of data here and there, but who ever wiped out the computer did a thorough job.

Host XO_Storal says:
CIV: The Observation Lounge is reserved for senior staff briefings, Lieutenant.  Use the Conference Lounge on deck 2.

FCO_Terman says:
::wonders what he can do if a barrel roll isn't acceptable, probably not a Loop-de-Loop::

EO_Tana says:
::offers Powers an 'are you serious' look and snorts softly, resting his palms on the side of the biobed and hops up, lowering his weight carefully:: MO: Balance and musculature is fine. All I need now is a shot and I can get out of here.

CIV_Torsian says:
*XO*: Very well, sir.

MO_Powers says:
::laughs:: EO: Which shot do you suggest, Doctor Tana?

PFC_Guller says:
::stands up from his pushups:: XO: Done Sir!

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Jon we need to find out where that ships been. Go over the sensor logs and see if you can find out where she’s been.  I know it’s a needle in a haystack.  But I have faith that you can find something. ::puts a hand on his shoulder::

EO_Tana says:
::shifts his gaze away from Powers and looks blankly at the display against the wall, using one hand to ride up his sleeve:: MO: Whichever one gets me back to work the quickest.

FCO_Terman says:
::begins cycling through the database of old Earth 'airplane' tricks, looking for one suitable for a ship of this size::

CIV_Torsian says:
Guller: Very well.  Marines: Let's move out to Deck Two.  Jogging double file.  Move out! ::begins to jog towards the turbolift::

SGT_Denson says:
::stands at the front of the left line and jogs behind the Gunny::

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Mister Terman, what’s our ETA to Qo’noS?

CEO_Yeung says:
::grins:: XO: Time to push my skills to the max, then. I'll get right on it.

CPL_Burn says:
::stands at the front of the right line and jogs behind the Gunny::

MO_Powers says:
::gets out scanning equipment again:: EO: You seem keen, I'll need to run a few tests and then I will decide whether you get a shot or not.

PFC_Carver says:
::stands behind Burn and begins jogging::

FCO_Terman says:
::closes the database long enough to check the ETA:: XO: Oh, give it a couple hours.

PFC_Johnson says:
::stands behind Carver and starts jogging::

MO_Powers says:
::starts scanning::

PFC_Mackerby says:
::gets in line next to Carver behind Denson and starts jogging::

MO_Powers says:
EO: Hmm…

FCO_Terman says:
::reopens the database and continues his search::

Host XO_Storal says:
Jon: Excellent.  Besides ... I want to make sure that you don’t forget your science department days.  :: chuckles::

PFC_Guller says:
::sighs and starts to jog behind Mackerby next to Johnson::

EO_Tana says:
::looks over at Powers:: MO: Done?

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to XO::

MO_Powers says:
::prods the Engineering Officer in the side, just below the wound::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Apache receives an incoming signal from the Klingon homeworld.

CIV_Torsian says:
::reaches the turbolift and steps aside for his marines to pile in then enters after them:: TL: Deck two.

EO_Tana says:
::winces but manages to keep a groan from escaping:: MO: What're you doing?

MO_Powers says:
EO: Checking something. Now I’m done. I will give you a painkiller and allow you to do 1 hour of light work. No heavy manual labor.

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: Sir, we are receiving a communications signal from Qo’noS.

MO_Powers says:
::gives the EO the shot he desperately wanted:: EO: You may go, but I expect you back here in one hour.

Host XO_Storal says:
OPS: Put it through.

PFC_Carver says:
::coughs::

CIV_Torsian says:
Carver: Are you sick Private? Do you need medical attention?

PFC_Carver says:
CIV: Sir? No sir!

EO_Tana says:
::bites the end of his tongue at the sting and then hops off the biobed:: MO: Thank you, Doctor. ::more genuinely relieved now:: See you in an hour for another shot... ::pulls on his duty tunic and heads out of Sickbay::

MO_Powers says:
::calls after the EO:: EO: One hour!

CIV_Torsian says:
TL: Halt, and resume to Deck one.

Host Amb_K'laas says:
COM: Apache: Apache, this is Ambassador K'laas. I have been regrettably detained on Qo'noS. I know you will be arriving soon, but I will not be prepared to leave until this time tomorrow. Remain within communications range until that time.

EO_Tana says:
::slips out of Sickbay:: *CEO*: Tana to Commander Yeung.

CEO_Yeung says:
::moves to a console and brings up data retrieved from the Beta-babe::

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

CIV_Torsian says:
::steps out of the turbolift and jogs across the bridge:: Marines: Form up and fall in!

Host XO_Storal says:
COM: K'laas: Very well Ambassador, we will remain within communications range.

MO_Powers says:
Karl: He certainly likes his work. ::smiles and laughs while heading to his desk to fill out a report::

EO_Tana says:
*CEO*: Doctor Powers has cleared me for duty... ::leaves out the details:: ...do you still need me to report to the Shuttlebay?

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

PFC_Guller says:
::jogs with the other Marines to his position forming a straight line facing the Command Chair::

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Mister Terman set course for Borath and engage, Warp 5.

MO_Powers says:
*CEO*: I have cleared EO Tana for light duty sir, but only for an hour and no manual labor.

EO_Tana says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, Tana out. ::steps into the lift:: TL: Shuttlebay.

Host XO_Storal says:
::sighs:: Self :  What  is this?

FCO_Terman says:
::turns around in his chair:: XO: Borath, sir?

CEO_Yeung says:
*MO*: Acknowledged Doctor, thanks.

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: We have a layover, Lieutenant. CIV: What is this?

FCO_Terman says:
::raises his eyebrows but otherwise says nothing and plots a course::

CIV_Torsian says:
::stands next to Sergeant Denson:: XO: Commander, may I present the 32nd Marine Squad, Alpha Company, attached to the USS Apache.

EO_Tana says:
::rides down in the lift, and gets out near the shuttlebay, walking back toward the massive airlock doors::

SGT_Denson says:
::stands at attention in front of Command Storal with the other Marines::

CEO_Yeung says:
::displays sensor data from the Beta Babe on his screen::

Host XO_Storal says:
::looks the Jarheads up and down:: Marines: Welcome aboard, Marines.

PFC_Carver says:
::in unison with the other Marines:: XO: Sir! Thank you, sir!

Host XO_Storal says:
::winces at the reply::

EO_Tana says:
::steps through them as they part, looking for the freighter that was taken aboard::

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: I am about to debrief them, but I thought it'd be better to bring them up and introduce them to you.  ::looks his marines up and down::

Host XO_Storal says:
Marines: As you were.  ::motions to the TL::

SGT_Denson says:
::steps forward:: XO: SGT. Denson. ::steps back::

CPL_Burn says:
::steps forward:: XO: Corporal Burn ::steps back::

PFC_Carver says:
::steps forward:: XO: Private Carver ::steps back::

PFC_Johnson says:
::steps forward:: XO: Private Johnson ::steps back::

CEO_Yeung says:
::runs a program to match space data from the Beta Babe to space data in the Apache databanks in the area he knows the Beta Babe has been in::

FCO_Terman says:
::tries hard not to laugh at the Marine display::

EO_Tana says:
::walks toward the open hatchway, trying to recall what little he knows about the class::

PFC_Mackerby says:
::steps forward:: XO: Private Mackerby ::steps back::

PFC_Guller says:
::steps forward:: XO: And last but not least, Private Guller sir. ::steps back::

Host XO_Storal says:
CIV: Lieutenant Torsian… ::motions him closer and whispers:: …get your men off my bridge.

CIV_Torsian says:
::looks confused and then realizes:: XO: Sir! Sorry sir.  Marines: Move out! ::jogs towards the turbolift doors just as they open and steps in followed by his marines::

SGT_Denson says:
::turns sharply with the other Marines and jogs towards the turbolift::

FCO_Terman says:
::realizes that they're way off course:: Self: Stupid computer. ::activates manual control and takes a sharp turn starboard to straighten everything out before switching control back to the computer::

EO_Tana says:
::climbs in the empty craft, looking around:: Self: Computer core should be... ::turns and heads amidships::

CIV_Torsian says:
TL: Deck Two. ::smiles and chuckles after the turbolift doors close::

PFC_Guller says:
CIV: Intimidating, weren't we gunny? ::smiles::

Host XO_Storal says:
::opens a channel to the Pagh:: COM: Pagh: Captain Kargan, we have set course for Borath. We will arrive shortly.

FCO_Terman says:
::remembers to warn everyone a little late:: All: Oh yeah, hold on. ::tries not to grin::

SGT_Denson says:
Guller: I think annoying would be a better choice of words.

EO_Tana says:
::hangs on to the handrails and almost has to swing through the eccentric design:: Self: Bolians and their 'flowing water' engineering. ::sighs and crouches down to the floor plating, tapping on the controls to bring the computer access tower out of the floor::

Host CO_Kargan says:
COM: Apache: Understood, Commander Storal. Your Captain has nearly prepared herself for the ceremony. It will be quite an event.

CIV_Torsian says:
::chuckles as the turbolift doors open and he jogs out towards the conference room:: Marines: I agree with Denson.

PFC_Guller says:
::piles out of the turbolift with the other Marines jogging behind the Gunny::

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks up from his console:: XO: Ky, I've got some new info. I've narrowed the area where Reg got his cargo down to four systems.

Host XO_Storal says:
COM: Kargan: As you Klingons would say, it will be worthy of song.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Mister Tana works at the controls; he notes a patch of dirt on the deck plates that has a rather unusual color to it. It appears to reflect a murky purplish.

Host XO_Storal says:
::turns sharply and looks at the CEO::  CEO: Excellent Jon, which ones?

CIV_Torsian says:
::jogs into the conference room and stands at the front of the room:: Marines: Take your seats.

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Mister Terman is something wrong with the helm?

MO_Powers says:
::reads through the book 'the best ways to frighten patients'::

EO_Tana says:
::goes to touch it, and then frowns:: Self: Messy... ::flips out his tricorder and runs it over the soil::

PFC_Carver says:
::sits down in his chair while the others take their seats and turn towards the Gunny::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Yah, the computer was plotting a course for the next nearest solar system to the port.

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Yah?

CIV_Torsian says:
::works the display console and brings up data he prepared the night before::

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: These four systems are in an area the Cardassians call the 'fringe'; the Kagoris, Daerghin, Bybalos, and Cailhin systems.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Yah, and I am not lying! Honest.

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Can you be more specific?

EO_Tana says:
::taps the recall button to run the sensor readings against the ship's computer while he looks over the freighter's computer core::

Host XO_Storal says:
FCO: Please refrain from anymore "plot corrections"

CEO_Yeung says:
::shakes his head:: XO: There's not much we know about these systems. They are on the far side of Cardassian space from the Federation. It’s apparently a haven for ill-gotten supplies.

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Somehow that doesn’t surprise me.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Would you rather we go to Risa when you say Borath? What do you expect me to do? Tell you there's been a slight change in plans? ::said very calmly::

CIV_Torsian says:
Marines: All right.  Welcome aboard Marines. ::smiles warmly:: Marines: It's good to see you all again.  I have picked you all to be a part of this assignment specifically for your talents and skills.

PFC_Mackerby says:
::smiles:: CIV: Skills gunny? I didn't know we needed those.

PFC_Guller says:
::chuckles::

EO_Tana says:
::chews the edge of his lips, reading the molecular straits of argon and magnesium in the soil:: *CEO*: Tana to Yeung, sir have you gotten navigational charts from this ship?

CPL_Burn says:
Mackerby: Quiet!

CIV_Torsian says:
Marines: That's all right, guys … at ease.  It's good to have you here. ::sits in his chair::

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Aye, but not much.

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: I wish we had more time to follow up on that lead. Any suggestions?  FCO: Well then perform a diagnostic and fix the problem, Mister Terman.

EO_Tana says:
::taps controls on the tricorder:: *CEO*: Sir, I'm sending you chemical analysis on a soil sample I found in the ship. Is it possible to run these readings against the planetary charts?

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Will do. Good find, Tana.

SGT_Denson says:
CIV: Good to be here, Gunny.

FCO_Terman says:
::knows that there is no problem, simply that he plotted the wrong course ... intentionally, but begins to 'look' anyways::

CEO_Yeung says:
::begins running a comparison to the soil sample::

EO_Tana says:
*CEO*: Standing by, sir. ::puts down the tricorder and starts slipping isolinear boards out of the core, checking them for damage::

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods:: All Marines: All right guys, we're here for a long time, and we're getting some Kaneda fighters to supplement our weapons.  Speaking of which... Carver: What new toys do you have for us, Carver?

CEO_Yeung says:
::while waiting for the program to end, turns to XO:: XO: We could send a team to investigate it, but it seems too risky for that right now.

PFC_Carver says:
CIV: I'm so glad you asked, sir. ::smiles and stands in front of the long table and touches his hand to his right side and takes out a small tool::

CEO_Yeung says:
::checks his console:: Computer: List all planets with that soil composition.

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Agreed… ::strokes his goatee:: …did anything else come up?

PFC_Carver says:
::places the tool on the desk and taps its one button and a 3 dimensional holographic image appears rotating::

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: Tana found a soil sample on the Beta-babe, and I'm running a check on which planets have its particular composition.

PFC_Carver says:
CIV: Oh, what’s that?

Host XO_Storal says:
XO: Wonderful. Then we can find out where and investigate further.

EO_Tana says:
::checks them one by one, slipping them out and running the analyzer over them::

PFC_Carver says:
All Marines: It's a series 4 plasma concussion rifle, carries a 12-round clip and a scope for range finding. Best snipers rifle the Vulcans make.

CEO_Yeung says:
::scrolls his fingers down the list of planets:: XO: And only one is on our particular list … it’s called Daerghin III.

SGT_Denson says:
Carver: Yes, but is it approved for use in Starfleet?

Host XO_Storal says:
CEO: Population?

PFC_Johnson says:
Denson: We're not some wimpy Fleeter’s, we’re the Marine Corps.

CEO_Yeung says:
::brings up data on Daerghin:: XO: Not a whole lot, just under fifty thousand.

CIV_Torsian says:
Marines: Now hold it. We are still Starfleet officers, serving in the Marine Corps.
