FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Thirty minutes to destination sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: sitting in his chair on the bridge hoping the CMO does call to give him a lecture about returning to duty so soon after joint replacement ::
   FCO: Good Hope maintain course and speed

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods :: CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Sits at her desk in sickbay, looking over some overdue paperwork::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: The scans are continuing, still unable to locate the origan.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: sits in his chair quietly watching the bridge crew do there thing::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Contact engineering see if they can allocate more power to the sensor pallet.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Feeling better now skipper?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: The problem is not the sensors, the scans are hitting one section of the ship at a time. I can not predict when and were the next scan will be. The scan is too short to even begin to locate.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Yes.  It was stupid.  I got this knee crushed years ago on this ship when a torp launcher came loose after a fight with a Vorcha. I have been treating it with tribal remedies.  Finally gave up and had to let the doc put a new one in

Action: The Apache is being hailed on a secure channel by Starfleet.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles:: CO: Feel free to take time off again

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Notes that most of the crew is overdue for a physical::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: And let the mate know what I have been doing, she would kill me

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: widens the navigational sensors to see if there is anything out there :: CO: Sir, we have an incoming hail......on a secured channel.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: gets up and heads for his ready room :: FCO: Send it to my ready room.
XO: Wolf you have the bridge :: heads into the ready room ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: ETA to docking? ::nods in acknowledgement to the skipper::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir. :: patches the call through to the ready room ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Twenty minutes sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: sits at his terminal and enters his code waiting for the message to come through ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Understood. Good Job commander. Lets give them a perfect docking, show those desk jockeys how it’s done

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: Captain Grey-feather it is good to see you.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns and smiles at Wolf :: XO: Have I have ever let you down?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::continuing to determine the location of the scan, and signals engineering to boost sensor output::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: grins:: FCO: Hmmm let me think about that one

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt Dremmen : Considering the alternative...its good to be seen captain.  What can I do for you?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: That’d be never

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Right answer Wolf. :: chuckles ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: laughs::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: As Starfleet officers, it is our job to ,as you say, never let you down.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Stands up and exits her office and with a quick look around to make sure Sickbay is set, she leaves for the bridge::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles to himself:: CTO: And you make me proud

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks down at her board :: CTO: Navigational sensors are only picking up the usual trails in the area.

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: We received your report about the possible leak in the Starfleet personal at your location and I am to let you know that you pretty much have confirmed what we suspected. Do you have any ideals who it might be yet?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Yes normal traffic. can you widen the scan and see if any of the trails are running parallel to course?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM : Capt Dremmen : Not yet.  Wish I did; promise you I would love to have a long conversation with that person/s

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Too many to get an accurate pattern.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: Salor could that ghost you’re picking up on scanners be a cloaked ship of some kind hiding between our nacelles?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Steps onto the bridge and looks around::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: It is not a g for i am not detecting anything. and for a cloaked vessel, I can not say for certainty

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: I am sure you would :: smiles:: however the reason that I called you on a secure channel is to inform you that we are sending a supply freighter in your direction. It should have every thing you need to bring your ship back to 100%.
   @COM: Apache: I do however have one question. Are you able to move at all?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt Dremmen : That is the best news we have got lately.  Yes we are under power.  But that is about all we can say.

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: What is your top speed?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: thinks that this is getting a bit to inquisitive for just letting him know that supplies are under way:: COM: Capt Dremmen : Warp 4, but its shaky

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: sits and watches as they close on the station::

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: And how soon would you be able to leave?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: the scans have stopped , we are no longer being scanned.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
ALL: Lets get ready for docking, have all hands make ready
CTO: Thankyou Lieutenant

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: I have the station on the viewer.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: keep and eye on them.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Steps forward:: XO: Orders?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Bring it up

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: I would guess that is cause of our proximity to the station.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Nice to see you Ensign. Take OPS

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: magnifies the station on the screen :: XO: On screen sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt Dremmen: We could be under way within the hour

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Take us in, make ready to go to impulse

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Nods and sits at OPS station::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Make ready to transfer to Station power upon docking
CTO: Make ready to secure weapons and sensors

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: rechecks her nav sensors :: XO: Sir, I've just found something on my sensors...a warp trail leading away from the system...no ship indicated but the ion trail reads as Romulan.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: Preparing to secure.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: raises an eyebrow:: FCO: Now isn’t that interesting

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: Aye, sir. :: preps for switch to station power::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Preparing to move to impulse.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: belay my last and run a scan on that trail Lieutenant

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@:: does some figuring:: COM: Apache: Roger then you should be able to rendezvous with the freighter at these coordinates. :: sends the Coordinates:: And Captain no one at the station knows that this freighter is coming and we want it kept that way Understood.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt Dremmen : Understood completely

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::runs a scan of the trail trying to ascertain it's destination and to confirm it is in fact Romulan::
     XO: Working.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: Seems your cousins have been nosing around

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Taking us to one half impulse Commander. :: taps the console ::
FCO: Understood

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: According to my figures you should meet the Freighter in about 3 days from your location. Once you have transported the cargo over the freighter will leave for another system.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Ready systems for docking and power transfer

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Understood sir.  We will be much more able to continue our investigation with repairs completed

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Nice and steady commander

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: Systems ready, sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Understood

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: As always Wolf. :: smiles and watches their approach ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: nothing more can be made of the trail, it is in fact Romulan and leaving the system. Destination unknown.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: The consummate professional as always commander :smiles::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Making final approach. Requesting clearance.

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache. Good. One more thing you can contact us using this secure frequency if you have any more information. Also you are only to talk to either myself or Admiral Griswold only. If any one else answers this frequency you are to cut the COM immediately. Understood.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Very well
CNS: Open a channel to station OPS and request final clearance

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
COM: Station OPS: This is the Apache, requesting final clearance.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt Dremmen : Completely.  Only admiral Griswold and yourself sir.

 Capt_Dremmen says:
Station OPS Says COM: Apache: Roger you are cleared to dock

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CNS: Are we cleared?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: It's all yours. :: Smiles::

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: Roger Captain I hope to hear from you soon Dremmen out. :: closes the COM::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves the Apache into position :: CNS: Thanks.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Slow to thrusters CNS: Ready umbilicals

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: closes comm and heads back onto the bridge ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: Ready.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: lines up with the docking clamps :: XO: Thrusters to station keeping. Hard dock....now.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Lock down the clamps, and transfer Station power to the ship
ALL: Secure all stations

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: attaches umbilicals and switches to station power:: XO: We're on Station power, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Sir, we have arrived. Docking secured.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::secures station and has security begin guarding posts::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Understood

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: We need to recall the CIV and prepare to leave the station within the hour Wolf

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Secures her station before leaning back in her chair::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: begins locking down the helm ::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: Station secure, security is on guard duty. vital areas are secure.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
ALL: And that ladies and gents is how it’s done. Well done all
CO: Understood skipper
ALL: You heard the man we leave within the hour

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Smiles slightly to herself:: FCO: You know, I've never done that before.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: Find and recall the CIV
CNS: Well done Ensign
 
CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Nods:: XO: Thank you, sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Skipper we need to offload the survivors from the freighter

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
: signals the CIV trying to get a location and an answer::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Notify the station we have survivors who need offloading

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CNS: Careful, or the Captain might just promote you to ops. :: chuckles ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Then begin as soon as sickbay is ready

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: understood

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: She has been signalled, i trust she will answer when she is able.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Our parts are on the way.  We have to rendezvous with a freighter.  I have told Starfleet we are more crippled than we are.  I am not sure how wide spread the security leak is, but I want to get there early

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns :: CO: Captain, may I ask why the hurry?

Action: The CIV notifies the CTO that she will be back on the ship in 10 minutes.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Sickbay says 15 minutes because some of the injured are to sick to be transported
CTO: See that our guests arrive ashore ok

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: The majority of Sickbay is all set. I made sure of that before I left.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO/XO: Mrlr has signalled, 10 minutes she will report in.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: very good counsellor
CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Lets Station OPS know that the Apache has survivors that need offloading::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Our supplies are on the way from Starfleet.  And I want get to these coordinates :: hands her a padd :: before the freighter does just to make sure we get our supplies
    XO: Understood Wolf

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods and takes the padd :: CO: Understood sir, and a smart move if I may add.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*Ericson*: escort the guests off the ship.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Skipper we also picked up a Romulan warp trail leaving the system

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Ericson says  *CTO*: Yes sir, they are very anxious to leave.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Thank you Mr. Salor. Monitor the transport of the wounded, I don’t want any unannounced guest riding in on our outbound transporter beam

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Yes sir, the transport will be monitored.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Great.  Just what we need, cloaked bandits

 Action: The Apache is being hailed from the Andorian freighter company.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles:: CO: Be nice to catch them with there pants down just once

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO/XO: Sir, we're receiving a hail from the Andorian freighter company.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*Sickbay* Notify me when the wounded that are ready to transport are ready.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CNS: You're learning quickly. :: smiles ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: I try my best.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: On screen

 Rich says:
Action: A big Andorian appears in the Screen.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Yeah I am getting tired of the breeze from being caught with my pants down

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
Medic Charles says: *CTO*: Most of the wounded are ready for transport.

 Dribble says:
COM: Apache: I understand that we have you to thank for returning my freighter crew?
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*Medic* Standby: beginning transport.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: completes her shut down of the helm ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM : Dribble : We are glad to have been able to help

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::begins transporting the wounded while watching the transport buffers making sure all goes as it should::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
Medic Charles says ::Readies the more heavily wounded::

 Dribble says:
@COM: Apache: I would like to show my thanks. Would you object to my sending over a case of Andorian  Ale?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks up at the Dribble and remembers why she never understood Andorians ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Hears the comment about Andorian Ale and blushes slightly:: Self: Ugh...Andorian Ale...

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dribble : Now who am I to be rude and refuse a token of your gratitude

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::sits and begins to review his departure prep::

 Dribble says:
@COM: Apache: Very well I will send it over shortly Dribble out :: cuts the COM::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Scan that case of ale to make sure it has no surprises Mr. Salor

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: transport of the wounded is complete and with no intrusions.
CO: Of course sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::begins to hum Danny boy::

 Action: A case of Andorian Ale materializes in the middle of the Bridge.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::looks at the case::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns as the ale appears :: All: That was fast!

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Well done

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Just stares at the Andorian Ale while some memories flood back into her mind:: Self: Ugh....Andorian Ale....

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: taken back as the case sits there and scans the contents::  CO I did not do that.  Scanning the case.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: I do hope you plan to share Captain? :: smiles and points to the case ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks at the CTO with a raised eyebrow::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Of course.  I was thinking when this is over, break that case open and celebrate

 Action: Mrlr contacts the CTO to let him know that she isn't feeling well and will be in their quarter if          the Captain needs to speak with her.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sounds like a great plan sir.
:: sighs and stands ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: It can be opened, it is only Andorian Ale.    ::gets a signal::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO/XO: Helm is secured.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Understood

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: And Cmdr Mrlr has reported not feeling well and will be in your station quarters, if have need to speak to her.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO/CO: Station secured.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Thank you Salor.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Understood good job counsellor, ever thought of a station transfer?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: As long as I don't get anymore paperwork. ::Smiles::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: whispers to the CNS :: CNS: See, they're noticing.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Whispers back:: FCO: Don't encourage him. ::Giggles::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles:: CNS: think about it counsellor

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: I will do that, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CNS: Oh the Commander knows a good thing when he sees it I think. :: smiles ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles:: CNS: Excellent that’s all I ask

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Whispers:: FCO: He's an XO. How much could he know? :: Smiles broadly::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS/FCO: You do realise i can hear you? :: continues looking down at his console::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: rolls her eyes and winks :: CNS: True

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: I understand there’s also an opening in nacelle cleaning

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: That's the point Commander. We expect you to eaves drop.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: Twas the idea, sir. However, I could always stay in Counselling and fix your mind if need be. :: Grins::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: shakes his head::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::listening  to the comments between the crew::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: walks behind the XO's chair :: XO: Gotcha!

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: You have the bridge, I am going to my quarters.  I will be back before we depart

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Glances over at the CTO and just gives him a wink before turning back to her console to look it over again::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Understood skipper

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
ALL: let’s get squared away for departure

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
