Host Bafii says:
Prologue_:  The Arondight senior staff has finished lunch with Dr. Imoh and his daughter and are now splitting up on their various tasks.
Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>
CSO_Taliza says:
::goes into the computer control room::
TO_Hoskit says:
@::stands at tactical looking at the bewildered Ensign Hendrickson::
XO_McDuggle says:
::follows Dr. Imoh::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::positions herself with the CTO on one side and Winona on the other:: Winona:  So your father is the chief doctor here?
CTO_Williams says:
::strokes his chin, and waits for a response from Winona::
CMO_Madson says:
::walks beside McDuggle, wondering why Dr Imoh isn't saying much::
Winona_Imoh says:
::moves down the corridor her skirt swishing from side to side:: CNS: Yes he is. He's  the best dad in the whole universe too.  ::grins::
CSO_Taliza says:
::enters his "special code" from his Resistance days::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona: So you and he must be awfully busy repairing the station then, right?
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Dr. what are some of the experiments that you run here?
Winona_Imoh says:
CNS: Day and night I'm afraid. This place needs a lot of work.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona:  Especially after such a disaster - what kind of repairs have you been involved in?
CSO_Taliza says:
::accesses the data in the computer::

Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: We have a varied list of experiments running at any time.  The location of this outpost, so far from anything, makes it ideal for many types of research.  We have everything from medical serums in development to new starship technologies.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::wonders if "day and night" includes tennis breaks, but doesn't mention that::
Winona_Imoh says:
::looks over at the CTO and smiles:: CTO: Anything in particular you would like to see?
CTO_Williams says:
::follows along behind the Counselor in a secondary role:: Winona: I'm not quite sure.  Do you have any locations you can think of that would be of interest to our investigation?  You know the station better than us, of course.
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: And Starfleet hasn't seen it fit to send you a small detachment of engineers?
CEO_Syren says:
::walks into the power core room:: CPO Martin: Ok let's hear the latest
CMO_Madson says:
Dr Imoh:  But I thought I was told the medical staff was not equipped well?  Or was the patient mistaken?
Winona_Imoh says:
CNS: Everything here is under repair, from the living quarters to the labs. It just never ends.
CSO_Taliza says:
::accesses the data on the storm::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::wonders if she's being evasive on purpose, avoiding specifics, or if she just really doesn't know the answers:: Winona:  I don't know about the CTO, but I'd like to start with the area hardest hit by the storm... CTO: That's the logical place to start, right?
CMO_Madson says:
::wonders how they can do all this research without enough manpower and equipment::
CEO_Syren says:
<CPO_Martin> CEO: We're about to bring the power core online but the initialization procedures are a mile long. This thing is archaic
TO_Hoskit says:
@::looks over his sensor readings seeing if he can spot anything unusual about the station's structure or its placement::
CTO_Williams says:
CNS: Yes, of course. ::nods to the Counselor::
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Taliza to McDuggle.
Host Dr_Imoh says:
CMO: Right now we have one physician doing research... unfortunately her area of expertise is forensics.  Not terribly useful.
CEO_Syren says:
CPO_Martin: Yeah, it's from a different time. I need one of their engineers, have you seen any?
Winona_Imoh says:
CTO: Let's see.....:;looks around for a moment:: How about the central control room? Father says that it suffered the most damage. We lost a lot of our records.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona:  That would be an excellent place to start then, dear.
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Excuse me Dr.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Go ahead Cmdr.

Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: No, they don't seem to think we are important enough for anything like that.  They only see the bottom line and as I won't allow weapons research here, I'm afraid I go to the bottom of the list.
CEO_Syren says:
<CPO_Martin> CEO: Yeah, one of them came in with some food earlier. I think he went down that way
CMO_Madson says:
Dr Imoh:  I see.  No, that training would not be very useful for R&D at all.
Winona_Imoh says:
CNS: Counselor, you might like to see the medical facility. I could arrange for someone to escort you there if you like.
CTO_Williams says:
::Follows along behind Winona and the Counselor, he whispers to the Counselor:: CNS: What do you make of this so far?
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Commander, I've accessed the computers here, and the sensor data simply finds that the solar storm was just super strong.  No unusual readings for something of that magnitude.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::shakes her head:: Winona: As nice as that suggestion is, I think I'd like to see the control room first ::grins::  For a counselor I've seen my fair share of computer equipment, and I'm curious to see the extent of the damage.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Roger and what about the rest of what I have asked?
CEO_Syren says:
::walks down the corridor to find the engineer pouring drinks:: Self: This is great
Winona_Imoh says:
:;takes the CTO's arm:: CTO: This way please.  ::leads him down a wide corridor::
Host Dr_Imoh says:
CMO: She is brilliant in what she does, but it is better to keep her away from living patients.  ::smiles as they continue down a mazelike corridor::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CTO: <whispers> No one knows their right from their left, either intentionally or through sheer irresponsibility...
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: The engineer request is next on my list.
CMO_Madson says:
::smiles and laughs softly, shaking her head::  Thinks:  Morgue jokes.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Roger let me know when I return to the ship.
CEO_Syren says:
<Eng_EdiPost> ::sees the CEO coming up:: CEO: Hello sir, would you like an iced tea?
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::arrives at a large set of metal double doors.  Imoh enters an access code and a retinal scan is taken before the doors slowly slide open::
CMO_Madson says:
Dr Imoh:  Then whom runs your experiments and interprets your data?
Winona_Imoh says:
::steps into the lift:: CNS/CTO: Watch the doors please. They tend to close rather quickly.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::steps in quickly::
CTO_Williams says:
Winona: Just a second, you follow ahead, I have to talk to the Counselor.  ::Pulls away from Winona somewhat gracefully and falls back to the CNS::  CNS: Exactly... I thought so too.  But who is competent enough to run the station?  There has to be someone!

Host Dr_Imoh says:
CMO: We are a free research facility.  Each researcher brings their own staff and resources.  We occasionally will share information and help each other, but we are more of a conglomeration than one research lab, if you will.
Winona_Imoh says:
::holds the doors:: CTO: Very well, but please hurry.
TO_Hoskit says:
@::does a long range scan and sees if he can pick up anything on the solar storm that passed through here.
XO_McDuggle says:
::returns back to the tour:: Imoh: Dr. you would think that with starship research that  Starfleet would want to keep the station in a good state of repair.
CEO_Syren says:
::glares at the man:: Edi'Post: You're too kind but I want information. How many engineers are stationed here? 
CNS_DiDomnia says:
<whispers> CTO: We'll have to confer with what the others found, but I'm thinking this is not unintentional irresponsibility - you're right, they would have died out here if they were really this way.
Winona_Imoh says:
::brushes her skirt off as she waits and hums a little tune::
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: I have often used the same argument... you can see the results.
CMO_Madson says:
Dr Imoh:  Do you have any corporate sponsors?  Any company in particular that donates?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::takes his arm as they both enter the lift:: Winona:  My apologies, he had a question.
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Have they given you any reasons or just ignored  your requests?
Winona_Imoh says:
::sighs and presses the button:: CNS/CTO: Sorry for the mess in here, but the repair crew hasn't finished in here yet.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::thinks fast to avoid her getting suspicious:: CTO:  You were right though, Joanna would like the Tellarian jewels better than the Risan Irises - much more romantic ::winks, hoping he catches on::
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: Oh, they always say they are looking into it and they you just don't hear back.  They tend not to reject the request as that would seem... what’s the word... foolish perhaps?
Host Dr_Imoh says:
CMO: No Doctor, I tend to think corporate sponsors can skew the path one takes.
Winona_Imoh says:
::stands beside the CTO feeling the fabric of his uniform against her bare arm:: CTO: Do you think you might stay awhile and assist with the repairs as well?
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Taliza to McDuggle, it seems the engineering request is in order.  Damage is severe, of course you can see that, sir.
CTO_Williams says:
::Plays along, although he has NO idea what she means:: CNS: EXACTLY... that’s what I was thinking myself...  but the Nasican's have such a fire in them.
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Sound like some of those pencil pushing geeks.
CMO_Madson says:
::nods her head in agreement:: Dr Imoh:  Yes, very much.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The XO, CMO and Dr Imoh enter his personal lab.  There is power in this room running from a small generator in one of the corners.  The room is filled with machinery of all kind.  The center of the room has a large disc filled with various gases.
CEO_Syren says:
<Eng_EdiPost> CEO: I'm the only 'engineer' if you will, although I’m more of a computer technician
CTO_Williams says:
Winona: I'm not much of an engineer, actually.  I deal out the damage, and other people fix it, I guess.  ::Pulls back a little::
XO_McDuggle says:
::sees the dish:: Imoh: Dr. what is this? ::points to the dish::
CMO_Madson says:
::notices the one generator and walks over nearer, taking a closer look:: This is your power source?  Is it reliable?
Winona_Imoh says:
::smiles:: CTO: I bet you could do anything you put your hand to. ::takes his hand:: Such nice strong hands they are too.
CMO_Madson says:
::glances at the commander:: XO:  Sorry, sir...didn't mean to interrupt.
CSO_Taliza says:
::digs deeper into the computer's systems::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CTO: Well, you could always do both ::smiles:: Winona:  Sorry, we needed to conference a bit on some items for his beloved.  Now about your repair crews, I would guess with so many able-bodied people on board you would be coming along quickly all by yourselves - I mean, with all the spare people around to wait on us at lunch, give tours, and such, you all must have repairs well under control.  ::plays dumb to see what she can get about how repairs are really going::
CEO_Syren says:
<Eng_EdiPost> ::notices Keyser's look of disbelief:: CEO: But we have asked for some engineers, I’m sure they'll be here soon
CSO_Taliza says:
::notes the different experiments:: *XO*: Taliza to McDuggle?  Is Dr. Imoh with you now?
Winona_Imoh says:
::waits as the lift stops:: CNS: Oh today is a special day that's why a lot of people weren't working. Can you guess what day it is?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::flashes one of her famous million-watt smiles:: Winona:  Your birthday?
XO_McDuggle says:
::takes a look around the room and then back at the generator::
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO/CMO: This is the culmination of my life’s work
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Yes he is Cmdr.
Winona_Imoh says:
::leans over to the CTO::CTO: Yes, and now I'm all legal and everything. CNS: You're a good guesser.
CEO_Syren says:
::steps back out of earshot:: *XO*: Sir, it's Keyser. I don't think there are any engineers on this outpost. Most of them are just technicians.
TO_Hoskit says:
@Self:  Odd.  nothing unusual about the storm and nothing unusual about the station itself.  ::decides to do another scan of the station and see how many people, excluding the teams from the ship, are actually on the station::

CMO_Madson says:
::stands back up and walks over the disk to inspect that, looking closely at the gases:: Imoh:  What is in here?
CSO_Taliza says:
*Imoh*: Dr. Imoh, I noticed the many different experiments going on your station here.  Everything from subspace fissures to temporal anomalies, even apple hybrids.  Why such a diverse repertoire for a space observatory?
XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Roger Have a full report when I return to the ship.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::raises her eyebrows, thinking this gives "spoiled" a whole new meaning:: Winona: Well, heaven forbid people repair a half-dead station on such a special day.  Happy Birthday, dear.
CTO_Williams says:
::Looks back to the CNS and Winona trading back and forth to each other.  He rolls his eyes up in desperation and in his mind utters:: Self: Why did I ever sign up for this job???
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::smiles again to mask the sarcasm::
CEO_Syren says:
::nods and closes the channel:: Edi'Post: So, how long ago did you send that request
Winona_Imoh says:
::steps out:: CNS: Why thank you dear. Gee it must be hard for you way out here, I mean considering your age and all. ::gives her a toothy grin::
CTO_Williams says:
Winona: Legal eh?  That would make you almost ten years younger then me.... that wouldn't make that almost illegal.
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO/CMO: This devices is a sort of temporal sensor array, it has the ability to read events before they happen and show them in the viewing disk.  The gases inside are a special mixture that reacts with the energies to open the controlled fissure.
CTO_Williams says:
::Stealthily rolls his eyes again::
Winona_Imoh says:
::walks towards the control center:: CNS/CTO: Coming?
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Even with the ability to see the future you can't do anything about it.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::drops the act, all the while wondering how this girl could even guess Dom's real age without having access to things she wasn't supposed to have access to:: Winona: I keep up, trust me.
CTO_Williams says:
::Walks out of the elevator ahead of the CNS, turning around to her, with his back to Winona, mouthing "Why me???!"::
Winona_Imoh says:
::walks through the missing door and points:: CTO: See, quite a mess isn't it?
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: We haven't begun that type of testing yet...
CMO_Madson says:
::shocked at the implications::  Imoh:  Isn't that...just a little dangerous?
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::moves up to a console and activates the unit::
CTO_Williams says:
::Steps over a piece of bulkhead and insulation:: Winona: Quite.
Host Dr_Imoh says:
CMO: Oh, I assure you Doctor that it is perfectly safe.
CSO_Taliza says:
*Imoh*: Doctor, did you say that you have a temporal sensor array?

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::grabs him by the elbow for a second, whispering:: CTO:  She shouldn't have known how old I am unless she found a way to look it up - El-Aurians of my age resemble humans of less than 30.  Now, things are getting strange. ::lets him go and walks on::
Winona_Imoh says:
CTO: Feel free to look around but I wouldn't touch anything over on the far side. Dad says that stuff is still a bit unstable.
TO_Hoskit says:
@Self:  ok, the computer is giving me 50 people.  Lets see what the database says is the minimal amount of people to be stationed on a station of this class for regular operations to happen.  ::punches a few buttons to pull up that data::
CTO_Williams says:
CNS: Maybe she thinks 30 is old to her... don't worry about it.  ::Turns to Winona::
CMO_Madson says:
Imoh: Ummm, sir, I mean, if the wrong people got their hands on this...they could change the future or use it to their advantage.
CEO_Syren says:
<Edi'Post> CEO: I can show you the request if you want...It's in the computer somewhere ::moves over to a working console::
XO_McDuggle says:
::takes a second look at the generator and then looks at all the machinery in the lab:: Imoh: Dr. are you sure that that generator is big enough to run all this machinery?
CTO_Williams says:
Winona: Okay, thanks.  ::Whips out his tricorder and starts making some initial scans::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::takes out her own tricorder and pans it slowly around the room::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the unit powers up the disk begins to glow brightly then the mists part and inside can be seen a planet.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::looking curiously over at the "forbidden" far side of the lab::
Winona_Imoh says:
CNS/CTO: We lost the sensors early on, and then the recording equipment stopped functioning. Dad was really upset that we lost the data on the storm.
XO_McDuggle says:
::watches as the show starts::
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: The power demands are fairly low Commander.  It does require a clean source of energy, no noise, hence the generator.
CEO_Syren says:
::watches the Technician carefully as he pulls up the file. But Keyser spots no foul play:: Edi'Post: Yes...well thank you. You can get back to your iced tea
CMO_Madson says:
::frowns as she sees a planet come into focus::  XO:  I don't know if we should be seeing this...
CTO_Williams says:
::Distantly acknowledges Winona:: Winona:  I can imagine, ::Takes a few steps towards the forbidden area.  Still looking intently at his tricorder:: Self: Hm....
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona: So you couldn't record the intensity, the makeup, anything that could identify the type of damage that the storm could have done?
CSO_Taliza says:
::finds the way to Imoh's lab and goes there::
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::makes a few adjustments to the controls and the planet fade away to be replaced with the station::
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Then I take it that not all this equipment is not running at the same time?
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: Most of it is for interpreting the images.
CMO_Madson says:
Thinks:  Why didn't they see the storm coming then and take more precautions?
Winona_Imoh says:
::grabs the CTO's arm and gently guides him in another direction:: CNS: Correct. The storm was just too intense in fact it was the worst one we had ever encountered.
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Did you have this running before the storm hit?
CEO_Syren says:
::waits until the technician leaves and reads the request. Everything seemed to make sense:: Self: Maybe I’ll just take a look at the engineering log 
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona:  It must have come up on you rather quickly then - were the sensors functioning before the storm?  How much time did you have once you noticed it?
CSO_Taliza says:
::walks up to Imoh's lab and presses the entry button::
CTO_Williams says:
::Takes another step towards the area.  He mumbles something to himself:: CNS: Do you have much more science experience then me?  Because I can't seem to get an accurate reading from my tricorder.  It seems to be detecting a life form on the far side of some kind.  I've purged the sensors twice, but still get the same readings.
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::stares into the disk greedily::  XO: We were running it almost constantly before the storm.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The door replies to the CSO's request  "Experiment in process, no entry allowed."
CTO_Williams says:
::Shrugs off Winona::
Winona_Imoh says:
::her eyes widen:: CTO: Oh that's Percy. He's the station's mascot.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CTO: Mine isn't detecting anything, but it could just be malfunctioning...
CMO_Madson says:
::doesn't like what she 'feels' from Dr Imoh, his intensity with the disk a bit disturbing::
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Commander, I'm just outside your location, but I'm not being aloud inside.  Could you see if I can get access?
CTO_Williams says:
Winona: Percy?? ::Stands still.  Winona isn't going to be moving him soon::
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Then the sensors in here should have some of the reading form the storm before it happened?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona:  Oh really?  I adore animals!  Where is he, I'd love to see him.  ::starts to walk over to where the "life form" was::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The disk image suddenly changes and in it can be seen Winona and the CTO.
Host Dr_Imoh says:
XO: That is not quite true... they would have needed to be set on this area of space... the appropriate time...   ::trails off as he watches the images::
Winona_Imoh says:
CTO: Yes, one of the lab assistants picked him up a few months back from a passing freighter. He's harmless enough unless provoked.
CEO_Syren says:
::accesses the logs files and goes back to the day of the storm:: 

CMO_Madson says:
::Ryan's image with that...with Winona catches her attention and she forgets momentarily about how dangerous this is::
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: I am sorry but the doctor has a very sensitive experiment running and can have it corrupted .
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Something falls in the back of Imoh's lab and makes a loud noise.
Winona_Imoh says:
CNS: Counselor.......please don't go over there! ::tugs at her sleeve::
CTO_Williams says:
Winona: Where... what is he?
XO_McDuggle says:
::turns to see what made the noise::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona:  Well then you should really have him come out of there as well, if it’ s dangerous for us it will be for him
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: That's why I need to be in there.
CMO_Madson says:
::startles and turns quickly to see what caused the crash;:
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::continues to watch the disk as the others investigate the noise::
Winona_Imoh says:
CNS: I can't do that. Percy is.....well....independent.
CTO_Williams says:
::Pulls out his flashlight...., which conveniently has a phaser, attached to it... or is it the other way around?::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Winona:  What kind of animal is he?
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: I am sorry Cmdr let me check with the Dr.
CTO_Williams says:
::strobes the darn area:: Winona: Is he/she/it dangerous?
TO_Hoskit says:
@Self:  Hmm...that doesn't seem right.
XO_McDuggle says:
Imoh: Dr. a member of  my staff wishes to enter the lab here.
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::as the XO speaks to him, he turns off the disk and turns, his face as stoic as before::
Winona_Imoh says:
CNS: I don't know really. He's the only one I've ever seen.
CEO_Syren says:
::the logs seem to make sense, the outpost rarely had any major malfunctions and the computer managed to run most of the operations by itself:: Self: These people are a disaster waiting to happen
CMO_Madson says:
::glances over where the crash came from again and back to Imoh and McDuggle::
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::starts to walks towards the door:: XO/CMO:  I'm sorry, but I really have wasted too much time on this storm and lunch and all...  I must get back to my work.  You know the way back I believe.  ::opens the door and waits for them to leave::
Winona_Imoh says:
CTO: Dangerous? Percy? :;starts to laugh:: No, I don't think so, that is unless you bother him when he doesn't want to be bothered.
CTO_Williams says:
::Makes some more scans:: Winona: How unstable is it over there?  Can we walk over there?
CSO_Taliza says:
::sees the door open, then enters::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: A small furry animal runs from the scene of the crash and out the open door.
XO_McDuggle says:
::thinks the doctor actions are a bit off as he heads for the door::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::takes a few tentative steps and whistles:: Percy!  Here boy!
Winona_Imoh says:
CTO: I wouldn't. Dad says that part of the room could come down at any moment.
CMO_Madson says:
Imoh: Your disk is quite interesting I must say.  ::the blur of movement catches her eye::  What was that?
CSO_Taliza says:
::passes the XO and CMO, as he heads to Imoh:: Imoh: Doctor, I would like to discuss your experiments.
CMO_Madson says:
Imoh:  And how could it get in here when you have it locked to tight?
CTO_Williams says:
Winona: Okay. I've finished my scans here for later inspection.  CNS: Are we done here?
Host Dr_Imoh says:
::absentmindedly::  CMO: Probably Zoey... nothing to worry about.
CTO_Williams says:
::Closes his tricorder, but keeps his phaser handy.::
CEO_Syren says:
::hears a crash outside and rushes to see what happened:: CPO_Martin: What was that?
Host Dr_Imoh says:
CSO: I'm sorry, I am quite busy.  Now I must ask you to please find your way back.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::wonders, but doesn't see any point in pressing her luck right now:: CTO:  Sure... for the moment.  Winona:  We may need to come back here at a later time.
XO_McDuggle says:
::sees the animal run in to the hall:: Imoh: Are you going to need help gathering it up? ::Indicates the departing animal::
CSO_Taliza says:
Imoh: With all due respect, doctor, it will not wait.
Winona_Imoh says:
CTO: Care to see the arboretum now? We have the most beautiful Parvia tree.
CEO_Syren says:
<CPO_Martin> ::covered in dust and debris:: CEO: A section of the deck just collapsed and I can't find Pirex
Host Dr_Imoh says:
CSO: Not now.  Good day.
