USS Apache Mission
"The Mirror"
#161

Prologue: The USS Apache is currently sitting 300km from the subspace vacoule. After several incidents, the Apache has several mechanic problems yet to be resolved.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::at OPS sending a message to Starfleet about the vacuole, the T'Nami and all that has been going on::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::in Main Engineering, working::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::standing stiffly at Tactical::

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: Incoming message from Starbase 366.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::checks the parking brake, making sure that we aren't going anywhere soon::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
*CO*: Incoming message from Starbase 366, Captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::sits at his chair trying to figure out what happened::

Host CO_Linard says:
::in her ready room, sitting hat her desk feeling rather grumpy that Ky is ticked with her::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::at science helping CSO Bern find out the cause of the strange behavior::

Host CO_Linard says:
*OPS*: Patch it through, Commander.

Host CO_Linard says:
::wipes at her eyes before hitting the screen at her desk to answer the comm::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
*CO* Aye, Sir. It's labeled CSI.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::checking the readouts of the vacuole's arpeture::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::what is this::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::patches the COM through::

Host CO_Linard says:
::opens the COM as it comes to her screen::

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: The console flips open with the Starfleet logo awaiting a command code.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CMO: Found anything yet? ::cross-references this particular vacuole's behavior with those previously charted by Starfleet::

Host CO_Linard says:
::types in her command code and waits for the message::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Mr Bern, is there a way to filter out the effects of the vacuole?

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: Vice Admiral Jackson appears on the small view screen.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
XO: I've sent out the communication to Starfleet and have also warned other ships away, Commander.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::tries to devise a way to shield the ship from the vacuole's effects::

Host CO_Linard says:
::grins weakly:: Jackson: Hello, Admiral. What can I do for you today?

Host Jackson says:
Com: Linard: Hello Captain. I've received your reports and have reviewed the Vulcan's findings.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: Good. Hopefully we won't have anybody ignore the warnings.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: Jackson: And?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
XO: I agree, sir.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: I don't think I'm going to find anything in the medical database. I'm going to look through the historical database.

Host Jackson says:
Linard: It appears the vacoule is artificial.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Until we know whether the effects are actually caused by the vacuole, or caused by something inside it, let alone through what methods, there isn't any way to do that, no.

Host CO_Linard says:
::blinks:: Jackson: Artificial? Are you sure? Who'd want to create such a thing? ::begins to get angry at whoever could be responsible::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Launch a probe to investegate. Perhaps we can get a better reading.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CMO: I've checked the LCARS a few times, but I didn't get much of anywhere. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
Self: What is this blinking light?

Host Jackson says:
Linard: That's what command wants to know.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Aye sir. I've got a configuration ready. ::gets a message to torpedo control to prepare a probe for launch::

Host CO_Linard says:
Jackson: Admiral, I'm afraid we won't be able to get very close to that thing. Whenever we're in the vicinity, it has an unusual effect on the crew.

Host Jackson says:
::nods:: Linard: The kicker is one of it's trace elements.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::pulls up the sensor logs from the last time he picked up movement inside the vacuole's opening, in the meantime::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::wonders what was in that COM that was labeled CSI::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO:Commander Yeung. I want you to work with Mr. Harris on those shields.

Host CO_Linard says:
Jackson: What would that be?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CSO: We already have a probe ready for launch, from before the effects started. You can send it out when you're ready.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::goes back to working on the shields::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: It was like they were all drunk, very drunk. ::looks over at Commander Yeung and Captain Linard as he speaks::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::nods at the XO:: XO: Aye, sir.

Host Jackson says:
Linard: I know you've been briefed on omega, but have you had any dealings with it?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CO*:the shield are at 85% that has high i can get them.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CTO:  Thanks, Commander.  ::orders the probe to launch and immediately pulls up the telemetry window::

Host CO_Linard says:
::thinks "Omega?" as she nods:: Admiral: Yes, as a matter of fact I have. Let's just say it wasn't fun.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: Well I guess I'm recovered from my romp around the bridge.

Host CO_Linard says:
Jackson: But sir, if Omega is in there, why didn't the warning appear?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::lowers his voice a few notches:: CMO: Really? I wasn't paying attention. Whatever happened had an effect on me, too. I kinda tuned everything out.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CTO*: Tell the Captain that the shields are at 85% and that's as high as I can get them.

Host Jackson says:
Linard: It's a diluted amount from my understanding.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::grins:: OPS: That's good... I wonder what that message was about? Do you have any idea?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: Really? It seemed to make you work harder.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: I don't, it was labeled CSI.  Captain's Eyes Only.

Host Jackson says:
::sends a command code:: Linard: This will start the process, Captain. Jackson out.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
*CEO*: Thank you, Mr. Harris, I will. It the meantime, let's try to get that higher.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods in understanding thinking that Omega is Omega, not matter how strong, but agrees anyway:: Admiral: I see... ::watches the transmission:: Thank you Admiral. Linard out.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
Captain's Eyes Only? That must be pretty important...

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: All consoles lock with a strange emblem on the screens.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CTO*: Understood, Sir. I will do my best.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CMO: Yeah. I got a bit irritable though, too, when my concentration was broken. That's not like me. Still, I collected a good bit of data during all that.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::works on getting the shields up to 100%::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::blinks in surprise at the change of his screen::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::tries to regain access to his console::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::watches as her console locks up and looks at the image on the screen.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
All: What in the world?

Host CO_Linard says:
::watches her screen flash with the Omega symbol:: Computer: Took ya long enough. ::enters her command codes to eliminate the Omega symbol::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
Self: Shield are at 90%. Good. Now, let me bring them to 100%.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: What is it Commander?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
Self: I love this job. Got the shield to 100%.

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: All screens return to normal.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::recognises the emblem and remembers the Captain action all wierd seeing it:: OPS: Grrr... What's that? ::watches it vanish::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::looks at the screen confused::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
Self: Hm? What's going on?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
XO: The image on the screen, sir.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CTO*: Tell the CO that I just got the shield to 100%. Took me some time, but I got them there.

Host CO_Linard says:
::begins refreshing her memory on Omega::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: What Image?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
*CEO*: Will do, ensign. Thanks.

Host CO_Linard says:
::gets up from her chair and leaves the ready room::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CTO*: Any time sir.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::remembers seeing the symbol before but does not know what it means::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::looks at his console...blinks slowly a few times:: CMO: Hmm...that's never good. ::shrugs once, remembering the happenings at Starbase and on the Triton some time ago...hopes this doesn't bode for more of the same::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::shakes head:: XO: Never mind, it's gone now.

Host CO_Linard says:
::walks out onto the bridge, looking quite grim as she gets ready to address the crew::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::nods at OPS:: CSO: Mr. Bern? Anything from the probe?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO:  Checking the telemetry now, sir.  ::hopes it didn't go careening off into oblivion during the delay::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::looks up as she hears the doors of the Ready Room open:: CO: Captain, everything okay?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Sir, we have launched a probe and are awaitng its results.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::working on trying to raise the shield more::

Host CO_Linard says:
::doesn't answer OPS right away, but instead addresses the bridge:: ALL: As I'm sure you have seen a peculiar "O" shaped symbol that just appeared on your screen. I'm not at liberty to discuss what it is. I do however ask that you trust my judgement on this and follow my orders without question.

Host CO_Linard says:
::pauses and nods to the XO:: XO: Thank you Commander.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::wonders what's going on::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
:: looks back at her console as the captain speaks::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: What are your orders Sir?

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: The probe disappears.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
Self: I did, I got the shields to 103%. Man, I am good.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::eyes widen somewhat, as he goes over the scans:: Self: That's highly unusual. ::offers quietly, having been through this before::  CO: Of course, Captain.

Host CO_Linard says:
ALL: I've just been in contact with Admiral Jackons at Starbase 366 and he has told me someone is responsible for creating this vacuole. I want to know who it is, and how we can destroy this vacuole.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CTO* :I dont know how, but I did get the shields up to 103%. I don't know what I did but it says 103%.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
Self: Anything the Captain can't discuss is always very bad...

Host CO_Linard says:
CSO: Mr Bern, what do you know about this anomaly, so far?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
Self: Oh, shoot. CO: Captain, there's an object of some kind causing a rip in space, inside the vacuole.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::raises an eyebrow at that notion:: Self: This is not good.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::sees the probe disappear and nudges CSO Bern::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::checks his readings:: *CEO*: That's pretty good, but bring it back down to 100%. We could use the extra power in the other systems.

Host CO_Linard says:
CSO: Is it a ship? A probe?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::walks over to the science station to see what happened::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CTO*: Understood, bring the shield to 100%. There it should be back to normal.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::nods to the Doctor:: CO: No idea, Ma'am. But just as a theory, if the vacuole's artifical as you say, this object could be the source. Vacuoles are unstable enough. A tear in space, even as small as this appears to be, would probably cause it to collapse.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: We lost the probe, Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: What happened to it?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::works on adding power to other systems and increasing the range of the sensers to CSO control::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks around to the CTO, blocking out what happened with them only a short while ago:: CTO: Commander, I want you to use what information we have and work on a way to seal that anomaly.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Unknown. ::attempts to re-establish communication::

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO: Is it giving off some kind of signature that we can recognize?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CSO*: The range sensors should have longer range then before trying to find that probe.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::pushes down the fluttering feeling deep down:: CO: Aye, captain.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CO: The object, Captain? ::hears an unfamiliar voice over his combadge::

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: A small explosion occurs near the vacoule.

Host CO_Linard says:
CSO: Yes.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
*CEO*: Thanks, I'll give it a try. ::assumes it must be the new Chief Engineer::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::wonders if modifying the deflector array could produce a beam to close the vacuole::

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: A sort of ripple effects takes place showing what appears to be a cloaked ship.

Host CO_Linard says:
::hears the sensors blip:: OPS: What was that?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::heads for the bridge to do some work::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CO: Captain! Sensors are picking up a cloaked ship!

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CO: I don't know. XO: ...It seems the probe imploded...  ::narrows his eyes at the screen::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::prepares weapons and defenses::

Host CO_Linard says:
::eyes shoot to the screen:: CTO: Sheilds!

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: What kind of vessel is it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Imploded? How?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::raises shields:: CO: Shields are up. I can't get a definite reading on it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::looks at her console:: CO: An explosion, Sir. The particles have a Starfleet signature.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walks in to the bridge::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::targets the area where they picked up the cloaked ship::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::snaps out of his reverie when he realises that there's a ship out there, possibly a hostile one and disengages the parking brake, ready to move the ship if need be::

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: Let me know when you find out, Commander

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: I don't know. Sensor resolution is terrible that far in, and I never did regain contact. Self: Hmm...hadn't thought of that.  ::begins a scan for parametric subspace field stress, thinking a cloaked ship would show up rather easily against that background::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walks over to CSO:: CSO: I am going to increase the power to the sensors and find out what that thing is.

Host CO_Linard says:
::blinks:: OPS: Starfleet? Which vessel?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::goes over scanning log to try to figure what kind of ship they detected::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
CSO: Try the sensors now.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::looks again::CO: It was the probe, sir.

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: A ship decloaks.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CEO: I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CO: Cloaked ship decloaking, Captain.

Host CO_Linard says:
::heads out into the main command area:: CTO: On screen

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::looks at the viewscreen to see what they are dealing with::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::checks sensors and puts it on screen:: CO: It's a private federation craft, but it's unregistered.

Host CO_Linard says:
::places her hands on her hips and watches the screen::

Host CO_Linard says:
OPS: Hail them

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: A small ship with no markings appears on the viewscreen.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::begins thinking of ways one could close a wormhole, as the focus seems to have changed to the (un)cloaked vessel for the time being::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::thinks "Federation? What's a Federation ship doing here right now?"::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CO: Aye sir. ::opens hailing frequencies and sends a friendly message::

Host Jackson says:
ACTION: The channel opens showing a man wiping off the screen which looks covered in a red fluid, while pushing back his hair.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::thinks "Let alone a cloaked federation ship"::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::wonders if that's blood:: CO: They might be under the effects of the vacuole.

Host CO_Linard says:
::blinks:: COM: Ship: Hello, I'm Captain Linard of the USS Apache. And you are....??

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::checks results of scan analysis:: CO: Captain, their cloak is Klingon in design.

Host Unknown Ship:
Com: Apache:  Hello, I'm Captain Linard of the USS Apache.  And you are....??

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::turns his back to the viewscreen:: ::whispers:: CTO: Run his image through our databanks. I want to see if there is a file on this guy.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::raises eyebrow:: CTO: Klingon?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::nods slightly to the XO and runs the image through the databanks::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
Self: What's a federation ship doing with a Klingon cloak in a quarantined area of space?

Host CO_Linard says:
::eyes narrrow:: CTO: Klingon huh? ::thoughtfully::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::thinks..."Come to think of it, it might make sense for someone to create an artificial vacuole...particularly if you could determine where it would come out, and you had an illegally cloaked ship to protect."::

Host CO_Linard says:
::wonders if she's talking to him futily:: COM: Ship: You might want to back away from that anomaly... it has unusual effects on your crew.

Host Unknown Ship:
Com: Apache: You might want to back away from that anomaly... it has unusual effects on your crew.

Host CO_Linard says:
::smirks:: OPS: How did I know he was going to say that?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::shakes head:: CO: I don't know, sir, maybe they're Pakled or something.

Host CO_Linard says:
::grumbles in an annoyed voice:: OPS: Cut the channel, I don't have time for games today. 

Host Unknown Ship:
Com: Apache: I'm bored...

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Sir?

Host CO_Linard says:
FCO: Lieutenant. How close did we get to that thing before we started to act funny? I'm sure there must be something in the logs that would tell you that.

Host Unknown Ship:
Com: Apache: No one will play with me.......

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::scans the vessel for number of crew::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks back at the screen holding up her hand for the OPS to wait. Grins:: COM: Ship: Really? Awww.... ::smiles happily:: Well, we want to play. Why don't you bring your ship a little closer?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
XO: Umm... Just give me a second. ::starts looking through the logs for when Janet Naegle hopped up and started playing tag the first time::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walks over to CTO::

Host CO_Linard says:
::doesn't look at the XO:: XO: Yes, Commander?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::nods to the CEO:: CEO: Nice job with the shields.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::looks over his shoulder, eyebrow raised...hopes the Captain hasn't lost it again::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
CTO: Thanks.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Nevermind Sir.

Host Jackson says:
Com: Apache:  we were playing feds and gorns, and now they all sleeping

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks over her shoulder, questioningly at the XO, then resumes her grin at the man:: COM: Ship: Well? I'm waiting... I have a really cool game we can play... want to see?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::shakes his head, realizing she was trying to lure him out of the area...looks back to his console::  XO:  Commander, I'm reading five bodies aboard the vessel, but only one has an active lifesign. ::rather flatly:: I guess he's got no one to play with because the rest are dead.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: What? What race is he?

Host CO_Linard says:
::thinks, "Gorn? This just keeps getting better":: COM: Ship: We're not tired. We won't fall alseep. Why don't you come over and play? Bring your ship closer....

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::doublechecks::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::continues wading through volumes of flight logs, looking for the answers to the XO's question::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::works on trying to increase the weapons power::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Bandi, sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::tries not to chuckle at the Captain's interaction with the alien::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Bandi? Aren't they planet dwellers?

Host Jackson says:
Com: Apache: No. You are a girl, girls are icky.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Not this one, apparently.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
CTO: I think I just gave the phasers more power.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::chuckles at what he hears from the other ship::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::takes offense at the remark, but doesn't say anything::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::half-smiles, also overhearing:: XO: Then again, I know next to nothing about the Bandi culture.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: ::whispers:: Do you have an identity on him?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::tries to stop himself laughing::

Host CO_Linard says:
::folds her arms and pouts:: COM: Apache: Hpmh! Well then I won't let you see the cool game I have..... it's called Velocity....

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::checks the phaser readings now and nods:: CEO: Good job.

Host Jackson says:
Com: Apache:  Velocity?????

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::shakes his head at the XO:: XO: Nothing in the database.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Bandi are architechs.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walks behind the CO::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Ah, that's right. ::had no idea whatsoever::

Host CO_Linard says:
::sneers:: Com: Ship: Yeah. But only big brave boys can play it.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::scans the CO to make sure she is not ill::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks to the FCO and wonders if he has the information she asked for yet::

Host Jackson says:
Com: Apache: You promise no girlie icky stuff like cooties?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Anyhow, I have several theories to work on when it comes to closing this end of the vacuole, once we get his ship clear.  If we close this end, the entire tunnel should collapse.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
CO: I think the ship weapons have just been increased.

Host CO_Linard says:
::giggles:: COM: Apache: Nope, no cooties here. ::shoves the CMO playfully as he comes near her:: Our Doccie says so....

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::rolls her eyes:: CO: This is getting ridiculous, Captain, can I cut the channel?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::is drawing a complete blank::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
Self/XO: Wherever the other end might be.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Excellent. How do you intend to do so?

Host CO_Linard says:
::gives the OPS a "don't you dare" look::

Host Jackson says:
Com: Apache:  can I bring my box::picks up a small glowing box and begins shaking it::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CO: Okay, sir. You're the boss.

Host CO_Linard says:
::eyes widen with curiosity:: COM: Ship: Oooh!! That looks pretty! Can I see? Can I see??

Host Jackson says:
Com: Apache: Got any latinum?

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods at his question:: COM: Ship: Yeah lots. Come on over okay? I'll get the game all ready for you...

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO:  I'd try a verteron beam, first.  That's the safest idea, but it'll require a lot of power and the main deflector.

Host Jackson says:
::pushes a button and the vacoule closes::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::moves over to Janet:: OPS: Doccie? I may have to commit her.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO:  Of course, if it's artificially --  ::hears a beep, and turns to his station to find the vacuole already gone:: Self: How about it?  I'm a miracle worker.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Good Idea. Sounds like a viable option.

Host Khanlo says:
Com: Apache: I'm Khanlo. Be right over.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: I'm with you on that, John, both as former CMO and Ship's Counselor.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: The vacuole's...closed, sir. On it's own.

Host CO_Linard says:
::grins excitedly:: COM: Ship: I'm Kathleen, I can't wait. ::taps OPS on the shoulder to cut the channel::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Well keep your plan on the back burner. We may need it.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::wonders whether they're too close to the vacuole::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::scans for the point singularity that would show up if the "door" had merely closed::  XO:  Aye sir.  I'll let you know the moment anything happens.

Host Khanlo says:
ACTION: Khanlo beams over to the Apache

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::cuts channel:: Self: Boy am I glad that's over with.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: I'll tell Karl to get a padded cell ready.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::then remembers the vacuole closed::

Host CO_Linard says:
::immediately drops her childish disposition so that the crew can see she was faking it:: ALL: Well, this is it folks... looks like we might get some answers now. ::takes her seat with a satisfied grin on her face:: CTO: Commander, scan that vessel and tell me anything you can about it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::chuckles at the CMO:: CMO: Good, I'll help.

Host Khanlo says:
<Owen> *CO* We have a visitor down here for you, Sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CO: Will do, captain. ::runs an intensive scan of the Bandi's vessel::

Host CO_Linard says:
::eyes the CMO and OPS:: CMO/OPS: You do and I'll demote you both ::smirks::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Your playmate has arrived Sir. ::smirks::

Host CO_Linard says:
::heads to the TL:: XO: You have the bridge Commander. I have to meet my new friend in the transporter room::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::grins a bit:: XO: She wants to demote him again??? After all we've been through???

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::goes back to Maine engerineering::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CO: Better bring some security, Captain. Just in case.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::shakes his head, hoping that the Bandi's glowing box doesn't contain the stuff that made the crew go insane earlier::
