USS Apache - 10602.10 - "Interference"

The Apache, a bit roughed up from the subspace explosions, is attempting to distance itself from the planet... which may or may not have detected them, may or may not be firing at them.... As shuttles are attempting to evacuate, and an away team is being prepped, to investigate the subspace weaponry being used by the Tammeron...

<<<<<<<<<<Begin>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION: The ship is abuzz with activity, as the damage control teams struggle to maintain order... as the away team preps for departure...

CO_Storal says:
::exits the ready room:: CSO: Status on the repairs?

SO_LtJG_York says:
::sits at his console, his eyes red and burning with exhaustion::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::sitting at the conn at the front of the bridge, checking the thrusters::

ACTION: The planet surface is rife with activity... as the phased regions of the land continue to glow brightly...

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::at the auxiliary Tactical station, trying to keep watch on all sensors and tactical displays::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Standing on the bridge as the questionable action against the prime directive unfolds::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: Still working on impulse and the deflector, Captain.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::looks up as the CO enters the bridge:: CO: Main thrusters are online and ready on your mark, Captain.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::turns around:: CSO: Sir, have you been able to look at these weapons of theirs? I can't make heads or tails of it.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::fingers fly across her console as she grumbles, and tries to determine where the next missile launch may be from::

CO_Storal says:
CSO: The XO seems to be out of commission. OPS: Has the planet been trying to contact us in any way?

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Good. FCO: Take us further away.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Not directly, sir.  We have been receiving radio signals, however.

ACTION:The planet surface comes to life again with activity, as lesser weapons are being fired from both sides... arcs of destruction, sailing through the atmosphere...

FCO_V`Tarn says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir, attempting to do so now.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::takes the XO's chair, and pulls up sensors on the small display::

CO_Storal says:
OPS:Have you been able to make heads or tails of the signals?

SO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Captain, we're reading weapons fire on the surface.

ACTION: The Apache thrusters fire... and slowly, the ship moves farther from the planet...

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::notices V'Taran behind him and vacates the seat, heading back up to Ops::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Only that there is some sort of sequence of attacks taking place in the region.  As if we did not already know this.

ACTION: As the OPS continues to monitor the radio signals, he begins to pick up some rather disturbing messages, being shuffled across the eastern continent...

SO_LtJG_York says:
::sends the scans to the CSO's station::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks back, and nods to Mister York:: SO: Thank you, Lieutenant. Keep up the good work.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::feels really out of place in all of this chaos, but decides to walk over and take her seat on the Bridge anyway::

CO_Storal says:
::nods to the SO and OPS:: CSO: I believe firing on that complex would be violating the prime directive just a tad... Don't you?

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir, I am recieving some rather... disturbing... messages... they are being sent across the eastern continent of the planet.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: Err... yes, Sir. I do believe it would. My recommendation at this time is to back off to outside the possible range of all planetary weapons and drop quarantine beacons until this is resolved by their own actions.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::nods to the CSO and thinks that he's much more fun than Tom ever was...then grimaces as he realizes that is no way to speak of a dead man::

ACTION: Around them, the subspace destruction shifts... as if enveloping the Apache, but entirely randomly, they pass through the space around the planet...

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*Engineering*: Status of impulse and the deflector, Engineering?

CO_Storal says:
OPS:What do they say?

CO_Storal says:
CSO:I would agree with that. But there is no telling how far these tears will advance.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Routing them over the speakers...

SO_LtJG_York says:
CSO: Sir, we have a change in the subspace disruptions.

CO_Storal says:
::listens to the message::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: True, Captain. I'd back off to where we first started noticing them. However, without propulsion, this will take forever. I'm awaiting Engineering's response now, Sir.

ACTION: Over the speakers, they can hear garbled radio messages... "They have a weapon in the sky..."... "A fortress of power..." ... "We must remain strong to overcome the Beasts..." and so on and so forth...

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Acknowledged.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::thinks out loud:: All: Beasts?

Engineering says:
*CSO*: The deflector was just brought up, Sir. Impulse in about another ten minutes.

CO_Storal says:
All: Oh great they think we are a part of them..

SO_LtJG_York says:
All: Sounds like a line from a bad holoprogram.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
Self: Whups. ::chagrined::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*Engineering*: Acknowledged. Good work. ::eyes the FCO:: FCO/CO: Deflector is back online.  Mister V'Tarn, raise the navigational deflector.

FCO_V`Tarn says:
CSO: Activating. Incidentally, we are now at a safe distance from the planet such that we are in no danger of dropping out of orbit.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
Self: 'Fortress of power', huh? If only they were up here... fortress of unpowered, maybe. ::keeps looking for new missile launches:: 

CO_Storal says:
FCO:Take us out of weapons range.. We need some time to regroup

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: Sir, we can back off much quicker now if we can go to warp. I am unsure as to whether you wish to power back up the nacelles.

ACTION: Another blast is seen from the Eastern surface... a bright light... and it's expanding...

SO_LtJG_York says:
::studies the readouts closely::

SO_LtJG_York says:
CO: We have an explosion on the surface!

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Make it happen Mr. Robertson..

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
SO: Lieutenant... what is that...? ::hand hovers over 'kill it with light' button::

FCO_V`Tarn says:
::his eyes widen:: CO: Trying to move us away...

SO_LtJG_York says:
All: Sensors are trying to makse sense of it, but it seems like a blast, trying to gather more data.

ACTION: The light grows brighter.... it's a missile, heading for the Apache...

SO_LtJG_York says:
All: Yeah...we're dead.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::eyes widen as she looks at the viewscreen::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*ALL*: Red alert!

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::sees the CTO's reaction and waits for the order to fire::

SO_LtJG_York says:
CTO: Sol!

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
FCO: Warp One, out of here. Engage.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::sees the warning on his console:: CO: It is a missile, sir... it's headed straight for Apache!

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*Engineering*: Power up the nacelles, now!

CO_Storal says:
CTO: Fire!

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
ALL: Red alert, aye sir. Going to red aleart! TO: Ensign Newell, get a lock on and be ready to fire if we can't get out of here on time! ::checks her readouts to see if weapons have enough power to fire::

SO_LtJG_York says:
::brings all scanners on the object, hoping to get new data as it explodes::

FCO_V`Tarn says:
CSO: I don't know if we can establish a stable warp field in this environment... I doubt that these people have particularly advanced navigational systems on their missiles... Firing thrusters.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
CO: Aye, sir, working on it! ::fingers dance to siphon power to the weapons systems::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
CO: Haven't we neglected the prime directive enough in this matter sir? We can not return fire.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::got the lock and fires at the captain's order:: CTO: Lock engaged and firing per the captain's order, sir.

ACTION: The missile is now 20 seconds from contact...

SO_LtJG_York says:
::looks over at the Doc:: CMO: You suggest we just take the hit?

CO_Storal says:
CMO:How is shooting down a missile aimed at us a violation of the prime directive...

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
FCO: Are you telling me we can't go to warp, or that it's risky, Mister V'Tarn?

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: Captain, I don't think our shields can withstand a fast moving projectile!

FCO_V`Tarn says:
CSO: There's no risk involved, sir. Either we can, or we cannot. 

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: I concur with the Counselor, sir.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
TO: Aye. ::watches her monitors carefully as red alert kicks in::

CO_Storal says:
CNS:That is an understatement...

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
FCO: Then go to warp, Mister V'Tarn. Now.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
CO: Starfleet personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship, unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture

SO_LtJG_York says:
CMO: We've already shot down one missile Doctor, so we are acting to an earlier violation! ::shakes his head::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CMO: That missile will contaminate our culture... right here, on Apache!

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
CO: Shooting down that missile is saving this ship and the beings on that planet should never have seen us, sir.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
SO: Which should never have been fired in the first plave.

SO_LtJG_York says:
CMO: Take it up to a committee Doctor.

ACTION: The weapons are fired.... and just as they do, the Apache lurches into warp...

CO_Storal says:
CMO:Well its too late for that.. you can note it if youd like.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
CMO: I -think- a huge flaming starship coming through the atmosphere would cause more contamination than shooting down missiles.

ACTION: The Apache jumps to warp one... but almost as quickly as they jump, they are knocked out by a subspace distortion....

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::feels the ship lurch, and then drop back out, and curses::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
CO: I am afraid I will have to sir. This situation has been botched from the beginning.

ACTION: But as they return to normal space, all they find on their sensors is debris...

SO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Captain, we are in the thick of disruptions.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::looks at his console:: Self: Uhm.

CO_Storal says:
SO:We are in a tear?

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::turns to look at the Doctor, walks over, and whispers:: CMO: Doctor, I believe you have patients to take care of... and surely, can't this be brought up at a better opportunity?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::catches herself on her console, and grumbles heatedly:: SO: Well, are we having fun yet? OPS: Sir, respectfully requesting an update on the shuttles we've launched. Maybe we could have them run interferance for us? They've got to be in better operational condition than the Apache.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::thinks, "thank you, Mr. Morality..." glad that the people on the bridge can't hear her thoughts::

SO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Covered in them, we need a to find a way to plot a safe course. And the good news are we got the missile. I'm reading debris.

FCO_V`Tarn says:
CSO: There is your answer, sir. But, we did manage a very slight jump of several thousand kilometres.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
CSO: I prefer to handle any violation of teh prime directive at once, or preferably before it takes place.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::looks up at the Counselor:: CNS: Fun?

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CTO: I am not monitoring the shuttles, Ensign.
SO: Mr. York?

ACTION: The radio waves are ever so busy, as both sides are now commenting on the presence of a mysterious fortress in the heavens... commenting on the attempt by the Eastern powers to shoot it out of the skies...

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
SO: Fun what, Mr. York? Are YOU having fun???

CO_Storal says:
CMO:Return to sickbay Mr. Turok.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::looks a bit surprised for a moment, then decides to monitor the shuttles herself:: OPS: Aye, sir.

SO_LtJG_York says:
CNS: Counselor, I am most not...fun is having a nice glass of scotch, listening to good music...by definition...this is not fun.

SO_LtJG_York says:
OPS: Yes ?

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::whispers back to the CMO:: CMO: Your objection is noted, then.  Relieve us, or leave, please.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
CO: Very well if that is an order sir.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
SO: Your sensors, ensign.  You are able to detect the shuttles, yes?

CO_Storal says:
CMO:It is.

SO_LtJG_York says:
OPS: One moment sir.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::tries to locate the shuttles::

SO_LtJG_York says:
OPS: All shuttles accounted for.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
CSO: I believe I would have justification. If you would prefer that....sir.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
SO: Report their status to Ensign Solita.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::nods::

SO_LtJG_York says:
CTO: Here you are, Sol. ::sends her the latest data::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CMO: Mister Turok, at the end of the day, it'll just be us here. Do what you have to do to be able to live with yourself, okay? That's all we can do.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::nods, and looks over the data:: SO: Can you tie in their communications and the sensor data for them to my console? I'll keep an eye on them and stay out of your way.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO/CTO: I believe Ensign Solita presents an excellent suggestion, sir.  Allowing the shuttles to run interference would help our tactics in this battle.

CO_Storal says:
CSO/CMO:We dont have time for this. Return to your posts. WE have more pressing concerns.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks over and nods:: CO: Aye, Captain.

ACTION: The radio communications continue... and they are *angry*

SO_LtJG_York says:
CTO: Let's see what I can do for my favourite Romulan.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Turns on his heels:: CO: Very well sir.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Sickbay.

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Perhaps once we are back on our feet. We need to finish our repairs.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::taps into the shuttles' comm systems and sensors, and brings the data uplink to Tactical::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::smirks:: SO: I'll not point out that I'm your -only- Romulan...

CO_Storal says:
CTO:Were you able to analyze those warheads?

SO_LtJG_York says:
::grins at Sol::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Precisely, sir.  The shuttles could help draw attention away from us while we repair.

CO_Storal says:
FCO: Are we out of their range?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
CO: We don't have data back on them yet, sir. Tactical sensors have been -sketchy-. I'll take a look at the data for this latest one.

FCO_V`Tarn says:
CO: I believe so, sir.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::turns around:: CO: Captain, why risk the safety off the shuttles, if we can just as well stay out of weapons range ?

Engineering says:
*Bridge*: Sir, Impulse drive available at your discretion.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::starts an analysis on the data from the scanners for each of the three or four missile launches so far::

CO_Storal says:
SO:Agreed. Thats why I want to concentrate on repairs first.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::grips her armrests tightly... a bit too tightly actually, but she tries to remain calm amid all the emotions swirling around her and thoughts of death by primitive projectile::

CO_Storal says:
FCO/OPS:Take us out a bit further then power down. I want to give them the appearance that we are done for now.

SO_LtJG_York says:
CNS: Having fun yet, Counselor?

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Aye.  Awaiting word of all stop from the conn.

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Also can you piggy back any of their signals?

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::begins preparing to power down all systems::

TO_Ens_Newell says:
CTO: Shall I help with the analysis, Ensign?  They say two heads are better than one.

FCO_V`Tarn says:
CO: Aye, sir... taking us 10,000 km away... ::he powers down the systems, as the ship glides into position...:: ... All stop, sir.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
TO: Aye, yes, please. I've got a lot of data coming across my console... ::feeds the information to Ensign Newell's console::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Exits the turbolift::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Powering down - All systems.  ::powers the ship down::

TO_Ens_Newell says:
CTO: Aye, ma'am. I'll get right on it.  ::starts analyzing what's coming across her console::

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
SO: I can find no words to express my... ::takes a breath:: amusement...

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Standby, working.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Enters sickbay::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Unfortunately, sir, these signals are only radio signals.  No direct data link to be established.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*Engineering*: Impulse available, Bridge, Engineering, aye.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO/FCO: Full impulse is available.

CO_Storal says:
All: Only radio and they managed to develop those weapons...

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: I agree, sir.  There is something very wrong with that prospect of this investigation.

SO_LtJG_York says:
CO: I think it's safe to assume someone contaminated their culture far worse then we did.

CO_Storal says:
CSO: That’s good news

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks over at the CO:: CO: We -hope- they were the ones that developed it..

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Walks into his office takes a seat and his desk and begins his report to Starfleet::

CO_Storal says:
All: Well although it appears that there would be contamination present. We need to find out for sure.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
CTO: Finding anything on your end, Sir?  It's coming across fast and furious over here.

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Have they noticed our power down?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
TO: Here, let me parse what my analysis is showing over to you.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: It does not appear so, sir.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::stands up and walks over to the CSO::

CO_Storal says:
CSO/CTO: Do you think we could slip a shuttle close enough to transport down?

ACTION: OPS receives a radio message... addressed to the "Fortress"...

SO_LtJG_York says:
::leans in:: CSO: We're going to need a science team on these weapons sir, I'm getting nowhere....and if you want my advise, next time at sickbay, ask for the EMH..it drives him crazy. ::hands him a report and walks away::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir, I am receiving a radio message.  It appears to be addressed to "The Fortress"...

TO_Ens_Newell says:
CTO: Thank you, sir.  That will make it a lot easier.

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Let's hear it.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods at the SO::

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::puts the message through to speakers::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: I don't think that'd be a good idea, Sir, but it's possible...

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Stop his report in mid sentence:: Self: I should do something to stop any further violations.

ACTION: The message is: "To the Fortress in the sky, be aware that we have multiple Weapons aimed in your direction. If you value your lives, you will land on our territory, where you will submit to us. You have 1/27 cycles to comply."

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
Self: Hah, they're trying to talk with us. How cute. CO: Aye, sir, I think we could with a good pilot and if it went in on low-power thrusters only. They're looking, but I can't imagine their sensors being very sophisticated. 

CO_Storal says:
CSO: Normally I would agree with you. But we need to know if there is contamination present.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::thinking out loud:: All: Nice people.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: It's possible, Sir. Just not that great of an idea. ::smiles:: CO: Permission to head the team?

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: May I point out, sir, that this New-Orleans class vessel does not possess the capability to land on a planet surface and then return to space.

CO_Storal says:
CSO: Well I can’t go. ::chuckles::

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: I don't think I have to advise, sir, for us to not go down to the surface.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
Self: One, new orleans-class vessel, rated for exactly one landing.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
OPS: Recall one of the type nine shuttles for the Away Team's use, please.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: Going down there would be suicide and a significant waste of personnel!

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: Sir, anyone in particular you want me to take, or should I pick my team?

CO_Storal says:
All:Well as long as they are worried about us.. they arent blasting away. That gives us some time

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO/CSO: Aye, recalling one shuttle now.  You will need a good pilot.  I willl volunteer.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Pick your team.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::wheels on the CSO:: CSO: We will DIE if we go down there!

SO_LtJG_York says:
::thinks he's bloody well not going::

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
ALL: It's a distinct possibility that we will, Counselor.  THat's why I'll take volunteers only.

CO_Storal says:
OPS:Which faction did that come from?

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::turns back to the Captain:: CO: Captain!

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::bites her lip when she hears the OPS volunteer to pilot:: CSO: Sir, I volunteer, either as pilot or copilot.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
CTO/CO: The weapons are quantum weapons.  They wouldn't kill us on impact with the ship, but once they explode they would suck us into subspace.  However, the missiles can't target us accurately at this distance.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: We are already facing charges of a Prime Directive violation.

CO_Storal says:
CNS: Then a few more wont hurt.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: I don't think you need criminal neglect on your record!

SO_LtJG_York says:
::bites his lip as he hears the CNS's comments::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Walks out of sickbay towards the turbolift::

CO_Storal says:
CNS: I have had enough on my record counselor. Your objection is noted.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: ESPECIALLY after what happened to this ship LAST time.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO/CSO: I don't think I need to advise taking a minimal crew on the Away Team, sirs...

CO_Storal says:
CNS: To make matters clear...it isn’t we that will be facing charges...Its me.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods::

CO_Storal says:
CSO: Keep your team to four.

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: The message came from the "Western Coalition", Captain.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: Captain, don't! What good will it do???

SO_LtJG_York says:
Self: I'm staying right here...where we're not all with the dying.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
OPS/CTO: You two settle who pilots.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: They are OBVIOUSLY hostile!

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
TL: Engineering.

CO_Storal says:
CNS: Ask yourself Counselor. Can you live with yourself if these weapons manage to do irreversible damage to this sector.. then that damage happens to spread into others..

SO_LtJG_York says:
CTO: Sol?

OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::walks over to the door of the TL:: CTO: Your piloting record, ensign?  How good is it?

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: We can talk over the radio.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: Send a team down there will violate the directive more.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:You have a knack of stating the obvious don’t you. ::chuckles::

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: You need to hear it more.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::shrugs at the OPS:: OPS: You're senior, sir. Your call. Otherwise, we could tribble-bat’leth-sheetmetal for it... and I like to think that I know a trick or two about flying.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::shakes her head, wondering why the counselor bothers to argue::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks toward engineering::

CO_Storal says:
CNS:I have made my decision Ensign.

CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
CO: Then you lead those men to their deaths.

CSO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::turns on the CNS:: CNS: Would you like to come to make sure no further violations continue? I have participated in 4 away team missions of pre-warp cultures.

SO_LtJG_York says:
::looks over his shoulder:: CTO: Take care down there, Sol.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
TO: You're in charge of tactical up here. Good luck. SO: Thanks. I'll bring back a souvenir, if I can. ::walks for the turbolift to join the CSO and OPS on their way to the shuttlebay::
