Prologue:  The Arondight is on standard patrol.  It is the beginning of Beta Shift and the XO has the bridge.
Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< Begin Missions - Surprises >>>>>>>>>>
CSO_Taliza says:
::at Sci 1, looking at the sensors::
XO_McDuggle says:
::setting in command chair going over reports::
OPS_K`maq says:
:;at the OPS console, looking as though she is busy::
CSO_Taliza says:
<Goode> CSO: Sir, your shift is over.  Take a break, with all due respect.
CEO_Syren says:
::at engineering station dispensing the shift orders::
CSO_Taliza says:
Goode: Huh?  Oh, sorry, but I'm just worried about all the Gorn activity in this area.
OPS_K`maq says:
::gets a start as an officer appears next to her to take over OPS::
CSO_Taliza says:
<Goode> CSO: Sir, I can handle the sensors.
CSO_Taliza says:
Goode: Fine, the science station is yours.
OPS_K`maq says:
::she looks at him for a moment without saying a word and then runs her fingers once more over the console, before getting up out of her chair::
XO_McDuggle says:
::watches as the alpha shift is being relieved::
CTO_Williams says:
::gets up and heads to the TL::
OPS_K`maq says:
::starts to make her way off the bridge giving a nod to the XO as she leaves::
CSO_Taliza says:
::follows CTO into the TL::
OPS_K`maq says:
:;steps in the TL with the CSO and CTO::
XO_McDuggle says:
::nods back to OPS as she leaves::
FCO_Chottu says:
::taps fingers on console impatiently waiting for the beta shift FCO to show up::
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: So, Ryan, what are your plans for tonight?
OPS_K`maq says:
::looks at the two other officers in the TL:: CSO/CTO: Any particular destination?
CSO_Taliza says:
OPS: Deck 2.
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Oh, probably some rest in my quarters, and then practice in the holodeck
CTO_Williams says:
COMPUTER: Deck 2.
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: I'm going to surprise Shehanna with a nice dinner.
CEO_Syren says:
::glances around the bridge:: FCO: Lt. will you be sitting beta shift today
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Good deal.  Talk to you later, gotta go. ::Steps out at deck 2, and hangs a left.::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the XO moves in the chair a bit, he feels something bulging in the back of the chair.
XO_McDuggle says:
::Sees Chottu still sitting at the helm:: FCO: Chottu, who is you replacement?
OPS_K`maq says:
::observes the conversation between the CSO and CTO::
CSO_Taliza says:
::gets out on deck two and heads right::
FCO_Chottu says:
::scratches head:: CEO: Uh, no, covering for someone, I said I'd stay on a few minutes for him. ::looks at the XO:: XO: I hope that won't be a problem?
OPS_K`maq says:
::waits in the TL as they leave::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As soon as Ryan is away from the rest, he sees something small and quick moving bolt down a corridor.
XO_McDuggle says:
::move to see what is making the bulge::
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: It's you time.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The XO sees a small, bright blue item in the back of the chair.
CTO_Williams says:
Self: Hm... ::Whips out his phaser.:: That didn't look like another kid on the ship.... we barely have any.... I should take a look.
FCO_Chottu says:
::nods::
CSO_Taliza says:
::walks down to his quarters and enters:: Computer: Lights, and turn on the oven to 205 degrees.
OPS_K`maq says:
::waits for the doors to shut:: Computer: Okay lets stop at the bottom, Deck, the lowest one possible please.
XO_McDuggle says:
:: gets up and looks at the blue spot:: CEO: Chief will you take a look at this?
FCO_Chottu says:
::sees the relief FCO show up and quickly motions him over, as the relief FCO takes his seat, quietly hisses to him:: rFCO: You're late.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Sure sir ::walks over to the XO and glances at the chair::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The CSO hears a strange sound coming from the bathroom.
CSO_Taliza says:
::goes into the kitchen and gets the whole chicken that was thawing from the refrigerator::
CTO_Williams says:
::Starts to walk down the corridor, looking for what flew by::
CSO_Taliza says:
::hears the sound:: Computer: Is there something in the bathroom?
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Well it's just you standard small, bright blue item Sir
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the CTO turns the corner he sees the blur make another quick turn... it was very small and looked white and brown.
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: And how do you think it got there?
OPS_K`maq says:
::stands in the TL while the computer confirms where they are going::
FCO_Chottu says:
<rFCO> ::nods at the FCO:: FCO: Sorry sir.
CSO_Taliza says:
::puts the stuffing into the chicken and puts it into the oven, then investigates the sound from the bathroom::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The computer begins to recite a long list of every item in the CSO's bathroom.
CTO_Williams says:
Self: Hmm.... ::Pulls out a tricorder:: I wonder what it is. ::Walks along::
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: How about filtering out everything that was in there at 0800 this morning and list anything that wasn't there?
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Maybe it belongs to the Captain? ::reaches for the object::
FCO_Chottu says:
::shakes his head:: rFCO: It's okay. ::walks over and looks at what the XO and CEO are talking about::
CSO_Taliza says:
::opens the bathroom door and looks inside::
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: I don't remember seeing it when I set down.
OPS_K`maq says:
:;steps out as the doors open, she notes it is less busy down here then on other decks::
CEO_Syren says:
::pauses for a second then touches it cautiously with one finger:: XO: Looks harmless enough
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Inside the CSO's bathroom is a small plastic pool filled with water.  In the pool are three brightly colored ducks.  Running around the bathroom are a multitude of brightly colored baby chickens.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: On the floor in front of OPS is a line of small colored dots.
CEO_Syren says:
::pulls it out and find that it's a container of some kind:: XO: It's a box or something ::hands it to the XO hoping he'll open it::
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Taliza to bridge!
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Go ahead:: takes the box from the CEO::
CTO_Williams says:
::Walks along some more:: Come out come out, wherever you are!
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The bright blue box is an oblong sphere shape.
FCO_Chottu says:
::hears Taliza's call and heads for the TL just a little quicker::
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Sir, do you know if someone's playing an Easter joke on me?
OPS_K`maq says:
::blinks and rubs her eyes, the view did not change as she had hoped, then looks closer to see if it is something to do with the flooring::
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Cmdr Right now anything is possible.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The CTO sees the small target moving back and forth from door to door further down the corridor.  It is moving very fast and is hard to see.
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: What?  Is there something strange up there too?
FCO_Chottu says:
::steps into the TL, pauses a few seconds, unsure::
XO_McDuggle says:
::turns the sphere over in his hands :: Computer: Identify the object in my hand.
CEO_Syren says:
Self: And Easter is? ::makes a note to look it up
OPS_K`maq says:
::sees the little objects on the floor and bends down to pick one of them up::
Host Bafii says:
<Computer> XO: It is a egg shaped contained composed of a synthetic polymer.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: we have just found a sphere shape object in the command chair.
CTO_Williams says:
Self: Hm... this one might be a bit hard to hit.... ::walks along still trying to get a scan::
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Is it shaped like an egg?
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Seems like it is a plastic egg. :: proceeds to open it::
FCO_Chottu says:
::shakes his head, then shrugs:: TL: Deck 2.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Yes it is.
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: I knew it.  Someone's celebrating the Terrain holiday Easter at our expense.  I have a wading pool with a bunch of chicks, that being baby chickens, running around my bathroom.
OPS_K`maq says:
::picks one up holding it towards the light for a moment then puts it on the palm of her left hand and takes the tricorder out of her belt, scanning the object::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The inside of the container is filled with similarly shaped objects, but much smaller and sweet smelling.
CEO_Syren says:
::unconsciously rests his hand on his phaser:: XO: What is that? 
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: I believe this is candy :: takes one out and puts it in his mouth::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: All around the bridge, crewmen are finding similar containers.

CSO_Taliza says:
::over hears the conversation between XO and CEO:: *XO*: Sir, are those candies also egg shaped?
FCO_Chottu says:
::walks out of the TL and to his quarters::
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Yes they are and they don’t taste too bad either.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Candy? ::watches the others discover their own eggs:: XO: IS this a joke?
CSO_Taliza says:
<Goode> ::finds a plastic egg, opens it and notices the contents:: *CSO*: Goode here, sir.  I suspect someone is giving us jelly bean-filled eggs.
OPS_K`maq says:
::the tricorder reports back about the composition of the item she is holding:: Self: interesting? ::bends down and picks up the others::
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: More like an Easter egg hunt.
CSO_Taliza says:
*Goode*: Acknowledged.  *CTO*: Taliza to Williams...
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The brightly colored dots that OPS found seem to create a path to follow.
CSO_Taliza says:
::tries in vain to collect the chicks::
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: I suggest you find one and try the candy in it?
CTO_Williams says:
::Taps his tricorder.  He can manage that its a life form, but the tricorder is to slow to lock on::  *CSO*: Yeah?  Ryan here.
CSO_Taliza says:
*CTO*: Ryan, we have some sort of intruder on board.  Have you seen any rabbit-like creature hopping around ship?
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Yes...that's a good idea ::stalks back to his console and returns to his work::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: At the door to the FCO's quarters is a large basket.
CTO_Williams says:
*CSO* Um... yeah.  You could say something like that.  It's moving so fast I can't get a scan or a visual.
XO_McDuggle says:
::checks to see that there aren't any more eggs in the chair and sets back down::
OPS_K`maq says:
::is following the path picking up the jellybeans as she goes:: *Bridge*: I found ::reels off the anatomy of a jellybean coming to a conclusion a few minutes later:: the computer has called them Jellybeans? though they are not what I would have expected from beans, I was under the impression beans were organically grown? 
CSO_Taliza says:
*CTO*: Well, it seems you're tailing the Easter Bunny.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Just then the CTO rounds a corner and sees the target, a medium sized brown and white rabbit, waiting at the TL.
FCO_Chottu says:
::frowns, scratches head, picks up the basket, takes it in and sets it down on a table, leaving it there, then grabs a pad::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The FCO gets a sniff of something from the basket and it brings back happy childhood memories.

XO_McDuggle says:
*OPS*: Those are candy item that are called jellybeans and have nothing to do with the kind that you grow.
CEO_Syren says:
::checks the progress reports:: *Cowell*: Ens, I know you're not down there searching for 'Easter eggs'
CTO_Williams says:
::Aims and shoots on stun:: Take that rabbit!
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The rabbit easily evades the shot.
FCO_Chottu says:
::distracted he eyes the basket, pondering if it's perhaps worth a little more attention just.. a quick peek::
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Turn the oven down to 100 degrees.  *CTO*: I'm coming to join you.  ::drops the chicks, then grabs a tricorder and goes to CTO's position::
OPS_K`maq says:
::nods to herself her statement totally opposing her true feelings:: *XO*: I see, sir. ::takes one of them out of her hand and sniffs it, not convinced about eating it yet::
CTO_Williams says:
*CSO*:Yep.  I'm here.  ::Fires a few more shots at the rabbit.::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The general mood on the bridge is light and cheery as the crew continues to find eggs with wonderful fillings.  Two crewmembers find real hard boiled eggs, died deep red.  They knock them together.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The rabbit bolts down another corridor.
XO_McDuggle says:
::sees a report of Phaser fire on the ship:: Goode: have sensors picked up phaser fire?
CSO_Taliza says:
::hears the CTO's phaser shots, and has memories of old-time Bugs Bunny cartoons::
CEO_Syren says:
::takes the lack of a reply as a bad sign:: Self: I hate this place
CSO_Taliza says:
::runs up to the CTO:: CTO: Eh, what's up, doc?
FCO_Chottu says:
::drops the pad on the table and looks inside the basket, then frowns and looks around suspiciously::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Down in ME the warp core has gone pastel, and there are baskets of candy on every console.
CEO_Syren says:
::signals for a relief and heads into the TL:: 
XO_McDuggle says:
*CTO*: Lt I am receiving reports of phaser fire. Do you know anything about it?
CTO_Williams says:
::Adjusts his phaser for wide beam shots:: Self: This might help.... ::Blasts more wide beam shots into the general area where the rabbit is:::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The rabbit keeps hopping along, making stops at each door it passes.
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Shhh.  Be vewy, vewy quiet.  Wyan's hunting wabbits.  Huh huh huh huh.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Did you say hunting wabbits?
OPS_K`maq says:
::looks up and turns back to see a junction in the corridor, which way had she come? and now she has removed the beans, which would have shown her the way back::
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Sir, it seems we've encountered the Easter Bunny.
CEO_Syren says:
::the TL opens to show a crowd standing at the 'pool table':: ALL: Why didn't anyone answer my last call...and why is the warp core like that?
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Then I suggest you don't kill it but just contain it.
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Lt. Williams' phaser is on stun.
CTO_Williams says:
::Runs after the rabbit.  He reaches a supply locker, and pulls out a new advanced phaser rifle:: Self: Hm.... just what the doctor ordered.  ::Adjusts for a very wide beam, and fires more shots at the rabbit::
CSO_Taliza says:
::scans ahead for the EB::
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: That is why we have Force fields.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The line of jellybeans continues around the corner.
CSO_Taliza says:
::finds the EB's position:: Computer: Erect level 10 force field three sections ahead of this position.
CEO_Syren says:
::A couple officers turn around, their faces covered in chocolate:: ALL: What is wrong with you people?
FCO_Chottu says:
::shuffles around the stuff in the basket, which is filled with treats, yet, wondering how in the world anyone figured out what he likes::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: A sound can heard in the corridor with the CTO and CSO, the sound of a force field powering up.  When they get to it though, the rabbit is calmly sitting just on the other side of the field.
CEO_Syren says:
<PO_Techie> CEO: We're just eating the candy you left us sir...I didn't know you celebrated Easter
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: See, wabbit trap.
CTO_Williams says:
::Turns around to see the CSO:: CSO: You trapped it?  Or it trapped us?
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Erect another force field on the other side of that section.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The rabbit happily hops away.
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Lower force fields!
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Got a carrot?
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The next section is just around a bend in the corridor.  When the CSO and CTO arrive there, the ff is up, but the rabbit is nowhere to be seen.
CEO_Syren says:
PO_Techie: I didn't leave you anything. Now will you go do your jobs!
CTO_Williams says:
Self: Gr... ::Pulls out his tricorder, scanning:: Where is he?
FCO_Chottu says:
::sets the stuff out on the table, sits down and just stares at it not sure what to think::

OPS_K`maq says:
::looks back down at the jellybeans and continues to follow them, collecting them on her way::
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Replicate three gross of carrots two sections ahead of our position.  When the rabbit is detected in the area of the carrots, erect force fields around it.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The computer responds accordingly.
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Wabbits love cawwots.
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: With all do respect.... if you keep talking like that.... I'm going to have to slap you!  ::Heads on towards the trap::
XO_McDuggle says:
::checks to see how the CSO and CTO are doing trying to catch the rabbit and puts another piece of candy in his mouth::
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Sorry.  Can't resist the Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd references.
OPS_K`maq says:
::she finally gets to the end of the jellybean trail and finds a basket, which she regards with suspicion for a moment::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Rounding the corner, OPS finds the largest Easter basket on the ship.  It is filled with all sort of treats, some of the OPS's very favorite.  Next to is a padd with a map of the current deck and a partially eaten carrot.
CSO_Taliza says:
::walks up to the pile of carrots::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The trap goes off catching the CTO and CSO.
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Silly computer, this trap's for the rabbit, not us!
CEO_Syren says:
::after a few more prods the crowd disperses, leaving the basket of chocolates sitting on the console:: Self: I'll never understand how humans figured out warp travel. Easter eggs hunts and Easter bunnies...I thought nature dealt with beings like that
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: I don't know who those people are!  But don't imitate them!
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Sitting on the desk is the CEO's very favorite treat.
OPS_K`maq says:
::picks up the Padd first and looks at it:: Self: just what I wanted. ::sits down in the corridor next to the basket and investigates it further first with the tricorder to confirm it is all as it appears to be::
CSO_Taliza says:
Self: That wascally wabbit!
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Lower force fields.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The computer complies.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*; any luck yet?
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Every trap I set backfired.
CEO_Syren says:
::spies a large green treat and his mouth begins to water:: Self: If you take it you'll only be doing what you accused them of doing ::grabs the candy anyway:: Self: To hell with it, I’m the chief

CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Lock onto any rabbit-like life signs and beam that Easter Bunny to this location.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Backfired?
Host Bafii says:
<Computer> CSO: Please restate your request.
CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: In other words, we get trapped instead of the rabbit.
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Beam the rabbit that is at-large in the corridor to this location.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CSO*: Then I suggest you be more careful.
Host Bafii says:
<Computer> CSO: There are no rabbits aboard the Arondight.
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Not even the Easter Bunny?
Host Bafii says:
<Computer> CSO: Please restate your question?
CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Forget it!  CTO: Looks like the Easter Bunny's given us the slip.
Host Bafii says:
