XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::in the oval office while reading an old book thinking "hey at worse I can make a living as  Sci Fi writer, I am sure they may like stories about Picard's Enterprise"::
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Sets up a Conference call to all the Joint Chiefs in preparation for the exercise on cutting the power::
CEO_Wall says:
@::looks over map off power grid munching on sandwich::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Enters the Oval Office and takes a seat on the couch::
Host Rockefeller says:
:: follows the Secretary of state to the president's office::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@::takes a sandwich and bites into it, studying the power grid with the CEO::
Kissinger says:
::Heads towards the Oval Office and knocks on the door.::
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CEO: I've got the Joint Chiefs on the line Sir. We should tell the military about the plan so they don't panic. This IS the Cold War. Let's call it a Civil Defense exercise.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::looks at the smug politicians entering the Oval Office:: ALL: Good morning gentlemen, please take a seat. Anything to drink?
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: Ok, lets do it
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Puts the Chiefs on Speaker::
Host Rockefeller says:
:: moves to a seat wondering what this is all about::
Kissinger says:
::Takes his seat.::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Looks at the two men enter the office:: All: Hello Gentlemen. Thank you for meeting with us on such short notice Mr. Rockefeller.
CEO_Wall says:
@::looks at the speaker box, takes a deep breath and begins the briefing::

Host Rockefeller says:
FCO: Thank you Mr. Vice President. May I ask why I have been asked to be here?
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@::continues eating sandwich and listens::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Looks toward the XO:: Rockefeller, you have been asked here so that we can talk to you about the Vice Presidency position.
CEO_Wall says:
@::outlines plan for the power shutdown to the Chief of staff::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::calls a secretary for coffee, takes a pad  and seats down on a couch and gives a reassuring nod to Ford::
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Decides to snag a sandwich and cup of coffee, never know when the next chow break may be::
Host Rockefeller says:
FCO: Why are you planning of resigning?
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
Rockefeller: Hardly, But its a long story, would you be interested in talking more about it?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::clears his voice:: Rockefeller: No I am planning to. Mr. Ford then will become the next president.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@CTO: They're good sandwiches.
CEO_Wall says:
@::finishes briefing and hangs up, sliding down into chair::
Kissinger says:
::Watches the conversation quietly.::
Host Rockefeller says:
FCO: Sure what do you want to know?
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CO: Not bad.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::looks at Kissinger looking for signs of uneasiness then keeps on listening the FCO do his job::
Host Rockefeller says:
XO: Sir I thought you were going to fight this impeachment?
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
Rockefeller: Well, for starters, tell me a bit about yourself, your history, anything you feel like telling me about.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Thinks to herself "If this is a hologram... no... it couldn't be that easy..." swallows the bite of food and says clearly:: Out loud: Computer, end simulation.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: I will fight for my innocence, but right now our country cannot afford a president with the shadow of guilt looming over him. The Russians and the Chinese would love that. So I am going to resign very soon.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@::hopes it works::
Host Rockefeller says:
FCO: Well sir you probably already know about my work with President Roosevelt and President Truman.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
Rockefeller: Of course I do.
Host Rockefeller says:
@Action: A few people in the area of the CTO hear what she said and give her a funny look..
CEO_Wall says:
@Self: That would have been to easy, damn
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: And we think you did a great job as the Governor of New York.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CO/CEO: Had to try. ::shrugs::
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: was worth a try
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CEO: That's what I thought.
Host Rockefeller says:
FCO/ XO: Thank you sir it wasn't an easy job there as thing were pretty messed up.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: What do you think should be the top priories of the new administration?
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: I guess now we call the department of energy and make the arrangements for the lights to go out
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@::nods::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
Rockefeller: I am sure it wasn't. ::Looking a bit out of place::
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CEO: OK, yes, we need to talk to them, and coordinate with all the nationwide grids to make sure they all go offline simultaneously. We should do it at 24:00 hrs. so it will cause minimal disruption, most folks will be asleep.
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: Sounds good
CEO_Wall says:
@::hits intercom button:: Secretary: Get me the Department of Energy ASAP please
Host Rockefeller says:
XO; One of the biggest right now is trying to get the country back on track. I mean with this unpopular Police Action that we just had in Vietnam and this whole Watergate thing we need to work on out public relations.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: Would you keep on our politics of dialogue with the Commies?
CEO_Wall says:
@::briefs the Dept of energy and sets down the 24.00 dead line for the power outage::
Host Rockefeller says:
XO: We have a dialogue with the Commies?
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Commies?
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CEO: We should also contact the folks at FEMA and Civil Defense and get them into the loop on this, if this is real we don't want a panic on our hands.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: Hey I have been to China just a year ago. Talked to Mao. Darn no good deed goes unpunished it seems. ::smiles::
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: Right, ::reaches for intercom again and gets put through to FEMA::
Host Rockefeller says:
XO: What about the Russians sir are they as responsive as us in possible disarmament?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: Yes I mean the USSR and the People Republic of China. ::makes a note about telling Odain about Communism::
CEO_Wall says:
@::hangs up and lets out a large sigh, reaches for another cigar::
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: That’s it, can you think of anyone else?
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Oh, right. Those commies
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: We are trying any diplomatic way we can. I am sure they will see reason sometimes in the future. Something tells me the Eastern Block would not last much beyond the 80's.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CEO: I think that should about do it. Of course, I'm not at all enthusiastic this will work, it might just turn off the lights in the holodeck, but we don't have a better plan working, so...
Host Rockefeller says:
XO: Well I wouldn't want to stop any thing that would lead to world peace.
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: Well fingers crossed, now I guess we wait
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: We made big steps in the past 10 years, but there is still so much to do, always so much to do. ::looks tired::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@CTO/CEO: But hopefully it will tell us what we're dealing with.
CEO_Wall says:
@::nods::
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CO: Possibly... if this is bogus the distortion aliens have to know we are onto them. Perhaps they will shut this charade off and start talking to us.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: Would you like Mr. Kissinger to show you the "house"? Just to get a feel about it?
CEO_Wall says:
@::puts feet up on desk, folds hands behind head and leans back closing his eyes::
Kissinger says:
::Leans forward slightly.::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Ford: I am sure you may want to accompany them?
Host Rockefeller says:
XO: Well sir a lot of it will depend on what happens when Vice President Ford takes over. However with my with my work with Latin America it would be of some help to him.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: I'm pretty sure I've seen it. Besides gives Mr. Rockefeller a chance to think about our proposal.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: I think you are the most qualified person for the job, but again you are right, the decision will be his.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@@::Has another sandwich, mulling over options and Tactical plans in her mind, and thinking about those old "Mission: Impossible" movies::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@CEO/CTO: We might need to go catch some sleep to be awake for the 24:00 hour’s blackout.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: Then Gerald please stay with me. We need to make some plans.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CO: Go ahead and bag out Ma'am. I'll stand watch.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Yes, I think that we do.
CEO_Wall says:
@::opens an eye and looks at the Captain:: CTO: How long we got till it goes off?
Host Rockefeller says:
FCO/ XO: Well sirs if that is all then I will let Mr. Kissinger give me that tour .
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@::nods and heads for the couch::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
Rockefeller: That is a great idea. Thank you for coming Mr. Rockefeller.
Kissinger says:
::Nods and stands.:: All: Very well. Rockefeller: If you would come with me, Mr. Rockefeller.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Looks at her watch:: CEO: A few hours. Get some rest, Ensign. I'm used to working on no sleep. I was in SpecOps and PRISM>
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::moves around the big desk wondering how it will fit in his XO office::
CEO_Wall says:
@CTO: Ok Lt ::closes eye::
Host Rockefeller says:
XO: Well sir it has been interesting to say the least.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
*secretary*: dear would you put me through with the Secretary of Defense please?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: It was and you did a great job. I understand it must not be easy. It's hard for me and I am a Terran.
Kissinger says:
::Moves to the door and waits.::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Thank you Sir, I will say this has been an interesting experience. Though not one I ever want to repeat again
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
<Secretary>*XO*: Yes Mr. President, I will call the Pentagon immediately.
Host Rockefeller says:
::follows Kissinger to the door::
Kissinger says:
::Opens the door for Mr. Rockefeller.::
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Answers the phone as it rings:: *XO*: Secretary of Defense's office.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: Neither do I, but consider it like a lesson on the nature of command, that never changes no matter the time and the location.
Host Rockefeller says:
:: walks through the door:: Kissinger: Thank you Sir.
CEO_Wall says:
@::opens eyes and sits up::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CTO*: This is the President. I wanted to know how things were going there.
Kissinger says:
::Follows.:: Rockefeller: Don't forget. Nothing that was said in that room is to leave that room.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@*XO*: Everything is set to go at 24:00 hours, Mr. President. We're all just relaxing until then.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
@*CTO*: Good, let me know if you need some leverage. I will wait here in the Oval Office.
Host Rockefeller says:
Kissinger: Roger Sir this would definitely give the house and senate a good reason to speed up their plans.
Kissinger says:
::Nods.::

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@*XO*: Understood Sir, but I think we have it covered. In case of emergency I do have the codes with me, I can pull rank with those if I need too.
Host Rockefeller says:
Kissinger: Sir do you know on what day the President plans on resigning?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CTO*: I hope it is going to work, I really don't know what to write in my resignation speech.
Kissinger says:
Rockefeller: On the ninth.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@*XO*: Go with the classics, Sir. "I'm not a crook!" ::chuckles into the phone::
Host Rockefeller says:
Kissinger: Really in three days? This will be news when he does.
Kissinger says:
Rockefeller: That's for sure. Well, this way, sir. ::Walks down the hallway on the beginning of their "tour.":
Host Rockefeller says:
Action: The time is 2359 hours.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CTO*: I will see what I can do ::chuckles then stops himself just in time from saying Polo out:: Have a relaxing evening.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CO/CEO: Wake up folks... its Showtime.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Commander, what happens if we get stuck here, I don't think I am qualified to run the country.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@::sits up and wipes face::
CEO_Wall says:
@::stretches::
Host Rockefeller says:
:: Follows the Secretary of state down the hall::
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@*XO*: Get your flashlight Sir, it's Showtime.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Gets out a flashlight herself::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: You have Starfleet training, this will make you more qualified than anyone else around here.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
@::stretches::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Yes, but piloting a starship is a bit easier than running a country. Especially one that is set in the past of a planet I know very little about.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Picks up the phone and dials a number and waits for them to pick up:: *DOE*: This is the Secretary of Defense's office... Operation Blackout: Execute.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@::Hangs up::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: Trust your instincts and follow advice. Try to change as little as possible. You should have a wife. Ask her.
CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
@CO/CEO: Wait for it...
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the XO::
Host Rich says:
Action: The light all go out in the city and little by little some building start to light up as the emergency generators start kicking in.
