Host CO_K`Beth says:
Summary: After receiving orders to investigate a distress call, the Arondight crew was recalled back to the ship for an emergency departure.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Kostandinos says:
::steps back onto the bridge and looks around, seeing who is here yet::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::is running for the docking port where the Arondight is::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: Double timing it up to the bridge from the transporter room ::

IO_Jakiel says:
CO: Captain!  ::looks up from the science station after sensing a distressed crewmember::  There is one person missing.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::enters the bridge from her ready room and sees the XO:: XO: Cmdr, get the crew ready for an immediate departure.  We are to head to the Huoh colony maximum warp.

XO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  IO: Who's missing?

FCO_Kizlev says:
::straightens his new red uniform collar while standing in front of his bathroom mirror in his quarters, takes a deep breath, and leaves ready to begin his new job::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::steps out of the turbolift and almost knocks the CO down, tries to avoid the collision::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::enters the Arondight's airlock and nods to the guard on duty as he steps into the TL::

EO_Solek says:
::makes his way to engineering from the transporter room, quickly but calmly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns to hear what the IO has to say and is bowled over by the CTO:: Ooomph!

IO_Jakiel says:
::tracks Ko'Bil's progress, then turns around and stands, placing her hands behind her back and glancing at Flight's chair, smiling softly::  CO:  The Lieutenant is just coming aboard now.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::nods:: IO: Well, we couldn't well leave without him....

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: regains his balance :: CO: Hey watch where...  :: snaps to attention :: Sorry captain

FCO_Kizlev says:
::wonders how many years it has been since he touched a starship helm console as he enters the TL:: Self: Since...the Dublin? Or was it the Excalibur? Hmm... TL: Bridge.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::looks around the bridge after the new... arrivals... and takes mental stock of who is missing::

CEO_Madson says:
::standing in engineering getting systems ready::

IO_Jakiel says:
::raises an eyebrow at the seemingly clumsiness of such a large man as the CTO::  XO: We most certainly could not, ma'am.

EO_Solek says:
::enters engineering:: CEO: Ensign Solek reporting, what can I help you with sir?

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::steps off the TL at the Bridge:: CO: Captain, Sorry I took so long I was just following up some leads on the station.

XO_Kostandinos says:
*CEO*: Mr. Madson, we need to get underway as quickly as possible.  Is the engineering staff accounted for?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks up at the tall CTO looming over her and growls:: CTO: We have got to stop meeting like this Lt.  ::gets back onto her feet and dusts off her uniform::  Maybe you should have your eyesight checked.  Get to your station.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::flexes his antennae in anticipation of starting his new shift, wondering why the TL seems to be taking longer than usual, or is it just perception?::

CEO_Madson says:
EO: Sure, just make sure we're ready to go to warp, all ready to depart and whatnot.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Understood, Lt.  Take your post, please and disengage the umbilical cord immediately.

EO_Solek says:
::nods:: CEO: Aye sir. ::walks over to a console and begins checking the primary and secondary systems::

IO_Jakiel says:
::closes her eyes, worried about the way the missions have gone lately, then 'touches' Kizlev's mind to 'find' he is near::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Yes ma'am... :: moves quickly and almost jumps behind his console :: Himself: This is not a good way to start the day

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::moves to his station:: CO: Captain umbilicals are all disconnected.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::the doors swing open unexpectedly, and he slowly steps out, looking right towards the helm, then catches Rhianna's look of contentment with his arrival::

XO_Kostandinos says:
::notes the FCO's arrival:: CO: That makes all of us, Captain - we're ready to go.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::contacts station and get final clearances to disembark:: CO; Captain we are cleared to leave whenever we are ready.

IO_Jakiel says:
::smiles mischievously at Kizlev, then winks, highly anticipatory of observing his flying ability after noting his previous reticence for that field::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Plot a course to the Huoh colony.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: brings tactical up and scans for vessels in the area :: CO: Tactical ready captain

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: take us out, Cmdr...maximum warp.

XO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  FCO: Warp 8.8 as soon as we have cleared the station.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::nods to the XO and CO and takes his seat, plotting the coordinates after a few seconds of trying to find the right command keys:: CO: Course...plotted, and laid in.

XO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Engage.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::brings the ship about facing its destination and engages warp:: XO: Warp speed, aye.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: The Arondight soars off into the black expanse of space.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::double checks the inventory to make sure every thing is in its proper place::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: A pinging noise can be heard coming from the warp core in main engineering.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::sits back down into her chair in the center::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::checks the power output for every section ::

FCO_Kizlev says:
::tries not to allow himself to be overwhelmed by the navigational readings, but starting to find familiar similarities with what he's used to on a tactical screen::

EO_Solek says:
::turns and looks curiously at the warp core before tapping his combadge:: *XO*: Commander, I recommend we drop out of warp, there's a pinging noise coming from the reaction chamber.

IO_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat back at science and at first runs a fond finger around the buttons on that station...remembering times on the Dublin with her 'father' and smiles.  Punches in some routine scans and some not-so-routine ones just to make sure.  Notes that the vessel is moving smoothly::

XO_Kostandinos says:
::raises one eyebrow:: FCO: Slow to impulse - for the moment.  *EO* Define "pinging," Ensign.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::sees some power fluctuations in different parts of the ship: *EO*: Engineering I am getting some power fluctuation around the ship anything showing up on your consoles down there?

FCO_Kizlev says:
Self: Not drop out of warp? ::eyes widen a little as he begins searching for  clear travel paths in case the ship has to stay in warp longer than anticipated::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: Checks his systems to see if any of them might be the problem ::

EO_Solek says:
::taps his console:: *OPS*: Confirmed.. I'm seeing power fluctuations as well.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*EO*: Any ideal what might be causing it?

XO_Kostandinos says:
*EO* What do you think could be the cause of this?

FCO_Kizlev says:
XO: Slowing to impulse... ::glances at the weird motions of the navigational compass as it starts moving about out of control::

IO_Jakiel says:
::becomes serious and looks more closely at her own scans, then narrows her eyes:: ~~~CEO: Scott?  Is there trouble?~~~  ::senses his concentrated state::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::listens to what is going on::

EO_Solek says:
*XO*: The most likely case is that the dilithium crystals are not properly seated.. I will need about ten minutes to examine the core.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Tactical systems are in the green ma'am

XO_Kostandinos says:
*EO* Do what you need to do - can we still travel at impulse or should we be at all stop?

FCO_Kizlev says:
XO: I've just lost all directional input on my console here.

IO_Jakiel says:
::places a hand on the console as the ship shifts uncomfortably and turns in her chair to listen to Kizlev, worried::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: ::dryly:: At least something is working.  Bring us to yellow alert until we find out what is happening.

XO_Kostandinos says:
*EO* Nevermind that.  FCO: All stop then - can you manually override it?

FCO_Kizlev says:
::tries to recalibrate the navigation sensors::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Aye yellow alert :: activates yellow alert ::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::checks the systems that are fluctuating and reduces power to them to see if it helps stop the fluctuations::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::in a low voice :: Mumbles: Now if I can just see the target :: grins at his own joke ::

IO_Jakiel says:
::turns back to have science add diagnostics to engineering and flight, being very well acquainted with the latter.  Works busily::

EO_Solek says:
*XO*: I'll contact you when I have an explanation. Solek out.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::suddenly realizes something:: XO: Have you seen Dog? ::looks around for the little animal::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:checks shield power to make sure everything is fine there::

XO_Kostandinos says:
CO: I had just assumed he'd stayed in your ready room...  I don't think he came out onto the bridge with you.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: thinks to himself :: Himself: Maybe the IO ate dog, somebody check her uniform for fur

FCO_Kizlev says:
::tries vigorously to get an improvement on his sensors, but to no avail::

EO_Solek says:
::walks over to the equipment locker and grabs a tricorder and a few other tools before proceeding to the core and scanning it, checking to see if the dilithium crystals are indeed not seated properly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: No...she's never more than a meter from me at any time.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
XO: Ma'am I have reduced power to the system that were fluctuating and they seemed to have leveled out.

XO_Kostandinos says:
OPS: Good - that'll have to do for now until we know more about what's causing the problem

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: How high do you have the sensor set on your ready room door, maybe your dog is just stuck in the ready room

XO_Kostandinos says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: I don't see her here...  ::looks under the command center seats just to make sure, as that is a favorite Dog hiding place::

XO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Any luck on the nav sensors?

EO_Solek says:
::closes his tricorder, realizing that the pinging sound is coming from behind the core, proceeding to investigate further::

IO_Jakiel says:
::does a scan for Dog among her other testing::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*EO* : Any luck on finding out what the problem might be or would you like some help?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::shakes her head:: CTO: Put out a message for security to keep an eye out for her.  We have more urgent priorities right now.

IO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain, I am trying to locate your pet.   I am sure he is on the ship.

FCO_Kizlev says:
XO: No, ma'am. ::turns to his Imzadi:: IO: Rhi....Lieutenant, can you isolate the cause of the disruption to navigation?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Yes ma'am :: sends message to security to look for the CO's dog ::

EO_Solek says:
*OPS*: The crystals are seated properly, however I've realized that the sound is in fact coming from behind the core. I am investigating it further.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*EO*: Roger let me know if you need some help.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::walks over to the OPS console just in time to hear the update from the EO and nods:: OPS: The navigational sensors weren't one of the systems that was experiencing power fluctuations, were they?

IO_Jakiel says:
::continues to punch in more commands, feeling frustrated, turns to Kizlev::  FCO: I am trying every test I am aware of, but no positive results yet.  I will endeavor to search more.  If I can only find a hint, I can try isolating from there...

EO_Solek says:
::makes his way to the back of the core, only to find Dog growling at a console. He then realizes that the pinging noise is coming from under the console::

EO_Solek says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: Curious.

EO_Solek says:
::opens his tricorder again and scans underneath the console::

FCO_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, we should be able to override navigation sensors from the main array and tie them into the tactical sensors until the problem is fixed. At least we'd have short range navigation till then.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::runs  a check on the systems again ::XO: Yes it seem that all the power fluctuations as well as the Navigational problems are tied together with the problem in Engineering.

IO_Jakiel says:
::tries to give Kizlev a look of encouragement, hoping he is not equally as frustrated as she, especially since it his first day at flight::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Do it...and as soon as we have navigation get us back on course, even if it is at impulse only.

EO_Solek says:
::taps his combadge:: *XO*: I have found an animal behind the warp core. It seems to be rather interested in what's causing the pinging noise, which is coming from beneath a console.

IO_Jakiel says:
::sets sensors to begin a more thorough search for any strange elements in engineering::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*EO*: Ensign that animal wouldn't happen to be the Captain's dog would it?

XO_Kostandinos says:
*EO* This "animal" wouldn't happen to be a small Terran canine, would it? ::looks over at K'Beth encouragingly::

FCO_Kizlev says:
CO: Understood. CTO: Lt., I need you to allow my console to access the command circuit pathways into your sensors.

EO_Solek says:
*XO*: It would, indeed Commander.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Why would she be down there, I wonder?

XO_Kostandinos says:
Self: One mystery solved.  CO: It probably has something to do with whatever's behind the console...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I think I can route my own console, stand by :: begins doing the necessary accessing ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<Dog> ::growls and barks at whatever is under the console.

XO_Kostandinos says:
*EO* Good - keep it there, it belongs to the CO.  And let us know as soon as you find out what is behind the console.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::dreads the next question that he needs to ask:: *EO*: Ensign the thing that the dog is after wouldn't happen to be my cat would it?

FCO_Kizlev says:
::runs an command prompt to the tactical systems, and waits for the CTO's authorization::

EO_Solek says:
::closes his tricorder and decides to take a closer look under the console::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: As the EO bends down to look under the console something small and heavy erupts from underneath and with a loud high pitched squeal goes dashing past the EO knocking him down and heading out of main engineering with Dog after it, barking madly.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::looks over at OPS and wonders who decided to pick today to teach all the animals on board how to escape from their homes::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::completes the sequence:: FCO: All ready, try not to leave us blind as well :: grins ::

IO_Jakiel says:
::feels aggravated enough to almost pound the console, but restrains herself:: CO:  Captain!  There is some kind of interference with my scans in the engineering area.  I would highly suggest that tactical send people down there at once!  I am trying to push through the problem...

EO_Solek says:
::falls over backwards and lands on his rear:: *XO*: The canine is no longer in engineering. Whatever was under the console has left engineering with the canine chasing after it. ::pulls himself up and fixes his clothes, not noticing the other officers holding in their laughter at him::

FCO_Kizlev says:
CTO: Not a chance, chief. ::grins as he taps into the tactical sensors, and tries to get navigation running from there::

CEO_Madson says:
::comes walking around the corner as he sees something noisy flash past him, then turns his attention to the EO as he strides in:: EO: Um, what is going on in here?

IO_Jakiel says:
::remembers the Breen ship explosion and having to deal with the mess of humanoid injuries of the aftermath and works ever more feverishly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
IO: Have an engineer look into it.

XO_Kostandinos says:
*EO* Wonderful...  have someone chase down the animals, knowing what they've done to the console is more important right now.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::wants to go and checks his quarters to see if Cleopatra is still there::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
IO: Run a sensor sweep and find out what that creature is that Dog is chasing.

EO_Solek says:
::finishes brushing off his clothes:: CEO: Sir.. we've dropped out of warp because I heard a noise coming from the core. Upon further inspection the noise was coming from behind the core.. and whatever was causing the noise, as well as the Captain's canine just left engineering.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::has heard people describe the Arondight as being a "zoo" before but this was getting to be a little to realistic::

EO_Solek says:
*XO*: Aye Commander.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::looks towards Rhianna, feeling anxious to grab a phaser and go down there to hunt for the possible intruder::

IO_Jakiel says:
::stops and turns to look at the Captain::  CO:  But Captain...the Breen ship...the enemies we have encoun...  ::stops abruptly and nods in obedience::  Yes, ma'am.  *CEO*:  I need you to check from inside engineering and see what is causing interference to my scans...and check the Captain's dog.

CEO_Madson says:
EO: Well, good grief...How did they get in here?

EO_Solek says:
CEO: I believe they have been in here since before we undocked.

IO_Jakiel says:
::tries a rotating frequency to get around the interference, inserting her own algorithm into the sequence::

CEO_Madson says:
::waves his hand at the EO:: EO: Nevermind, lets get a damage estimate on this, so we can get back to warp.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::sees if he can get a transporter lock on the captain's dog as well as what ever it is chasing::

EO_Solek says:
::nods his head:: CEO: Aye sir. ::kneels down under the console and takes a closer look::

FCO_Kizlev says:
::finishes the nav reroute:: XO: We have navigation once again commander, but it's only as much as tactical sensors can give.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Have your people round up whatever the creature is and also bring Dog back.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Yes ma'am

XO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: If it's enough to get us underway at impulse power without hitting anything, then continue on course to the Huoh system, max impulse.

CEO_Madson says:
*IO*: Right, what kind of interference are you encountering?

IO_Jakiel says:
::on a whim, decided to scan for Midnight and all other pets.  Is finally rewarded to see something on scans and frowns, totally puzzled:: CO:  Captain, Dog is chasing a...a Terran porcine.  I do not know why such an animal would be in engineering.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
*Ruger*: Chief take a team to engineering, we have some sort of creature on board that is being pursued by the captain's dog.  Bring them both back here

Ruger says:
CTO: Dead or alive sir?

FCO_Kizlev says:
XO: Aye. Resuming course at full impulse power.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::works the transporter again and gets a lock:: CO: Captain I have a transporter lock on the animals.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
IO: A pig?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::pauses for a second the grins :: *Ruger*: The creature is optional, make sure the CO's dog is still with us.

Ruger says:
<Ruger>*CTO*: Aye sir Glock and I are on it...Ruger out

XO_Kostandinos says:
::cocks an eyebrow at the "dead or alive" comment, not wanting to see the remains of whomever brought the CO's dog back in the former condition::

EO_Solek says:
CEO: Sir.. it looks like the wiring in this console has been chewed up.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Transport them both into some sort of holding area where Chief Ruger can pick them up.

IO_Jakiel says:
*CEO*:  Interference?  Yes...I have pinpointed the interference to be solely around the destroyed console.  Perhaps a manual scan would be of use.  ::turns to face the Captain:: CO:  Yes, ma'am.  A...pig.  A medium sized pinkish animal found on Earth that normally roots in soft ground for its meals.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::mutters:: So it's not a zoo, but a farm now....

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CO; Roger Captain I can transport them into the brig in different cells.

IO_Jakiel says:
CO:  I cannot imagine why it would be aboard.  It is not a suitable pet.

FCO_Kizlev says:
IO: Did somebody smuggle swine aboard for their morning bacon? ::wishes he hadn't made that joke::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Who would have a pig for a pet on a ship?  Possibly it could be a human equivalent of a targ?

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::Transports the animals in to the brig::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: A pig? Does that mean there is a barbque later for the bridge staff...and engineering of course :: smiles::

XO_Kostandinos says:
::thinks:: CO: Humans do eat several parts of pigs for food, but I'd think the replicator would do that much easier than slaughtering one yourself...

IO_Jakiel says:
::realizes Kizlev is being humorous but cannot fathom how that is meant with the comment, but tentatively smiles a bit anyway::  FCO:  I...I would not know the answer to that question.  ::feels her cheeks flushing in embarrassment::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Well find out to whom it belongs to and impress upon them that they are to be held accountable for the damage that was done.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: Lt the animals are in the brig area in separate cells.

XO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Releasing greased pigs into civilized areas is an old form of practical joke as well, seeing as how it makes them very hard to catch...  that's another possible explanation.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: ETA until we can get warp capability back again?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Thank you.

IO_Jakiel says:
::finds the Executive Officer's comments equally as puzzling::

CEO_Madson says:
*IO*: From my understanding, I believe the broken console and the radiation it's emitting is causing the interference, just give me a bit to get the repaired.

XO_Kostandinos says:
CO: I'm on it.  OPS:  I need records of any crew member who may have had such an animal delivered to the Arondight.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head, noticing that Rhianna misunderstood again:: IO: Consider it a rhetorical question then. ::winks at her with a smile of reassurance and turns back to his console::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
XO: Checking now Ma'am.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
*Ruger*: Chief the animals are in holding in the brig.  Bring the dog here, and see how big the pig is :: last said a bit of a whisper ::

CEO_Madson says:
*CO*: We are working on it now sir, I'd have to say fifteen to twenty minutes.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::begins compiling a search for any crew who may have had a pig, or any other "unusual" animal for that matter, registered as personal property::

Ruger says:
*CTO*: Aye sir on both

EO_Solek says:
::begins repairing the console::

CEO_Madson says:
::goes over to the EO to assist in the repairs:: EO: Lets get this thing finished in ten.

IO_Jakiel says:
::nods slowly to her Imzadi, feeling nonplussed but keeps her shoulders up.  Turns back to her science console, still very suspicious about the interference problem:: *CEO*:  Commander, the interference, have you found a reason or how it is being actuated?

XO_Kostandinos says:
::notices Rhianna's puzzlement at her last explanation:: IO: Someone in Adrienne's living quarters at the Academy tried it during her first semester...  trust me, I'm as confused as to the amusement with this as you are.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: As soon as we have warp capabilities take us back on course.  Due to the delay, push it to warp 9.5...we need to get to the colony as soon as possible.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::doesn't see where anyone has had a pig delivered to them and start checking the records to see if anyone has been replicating any pig chow lately.::

EO_Solek says:
::assists the CEO in repairing the console::

IO_Jakiel says:
::looks at the XO and nods in relief::  XO:  I see...I think...I will research it further...

XO_Kostandinos says:
IO: They do strange things for fun, humans do.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::looks up at the viewscreen and towards the stars, trying to savour these moments of calm and good cheer while it lasts, knowing that the mission has only barely begun:: CO: Aye, captain. We'll be there with time to spare... ::does not add "I hope"::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Klingons often keep targs as pets...until they are big enough to eat.  My brother had several when we were growing up.

IO_Jakiel says:
XO:  Obviously.  ::sets her scans to check the radiation from engineering and backtrack its emissions::

XO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Do they ever cover them with slippery substances and let them run loose though?  ::grins::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Possibly whomever had the pig brought on board is doing the same.  Might want to see if it is a human custom also.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
XO: Ma'am I have found the owner of you loose pig. It seems that the daughter of our Xenobiologist has received it as a pet. I have contacted the Xenobiologist and informed him of the situation.

XO_Kostandinos says:
CO: It is something I'll keep in mind.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: XO: Only when they are roasting them.

IO_Jakiel says:
::the Captain's comment and all the other talk makes her wistful for her childish wish to own a M'irkha, a large feline that is semi-tame found in the Betazoid jungles and is thought to be slightly empathic::

EO_Solek says:
::notices the awkward silence as he and the CEO repair the console, but doesn't say anything to break it::

XO_Kostandinos says:
::raises an eyebrow - point to the CO, it was not a prankster after all:: OPS: Good work - I think during our downtime on the way to the colony I will have a little chat with him about how to keep his children's possessions under control.

FCO_Kizlev says:
::takes a second to eye his console, starting to get a feel for it again, but is reminded of the numerous memories from his brief time test piloting for Starfleet Tactical, both good and bad::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: We do the same with pigs ma'am its called barbeque.  Think its more popular than roast Targ :: smiles :: at least from where I come from

Host CO_K`Beth says:
:: frowns:: XO: And have the daughter report to my ready room.  I think an additional little chat with her about the damage her pet caused is warranted.

XO_Kostandinos says:
::does not want to be the daughter right now:: CO: Will do, Captain.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::sends the information to the XO's console:: XO: I have sent you all the information Ma'am

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: checks the tactical again :: Himself : 3,000,000 metric tons of ship and we get damaged by a walking roast

IO_Jakiel says:
::is feeling uncomfortable about all the references she is ignorant of and it reminds her of her time on Romulus and the Warbirds where she was kept from learning of the rest of the galaxy too often::

FCO_Kizlev says:
::sends a text message to Rhianna's console:: Text to IO: When this is over, there is a story I've been meaning to tell you since we left Betazed.

IO_Jakiel says:
::blinks as she sees the message from Kizlev, but continues working::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::wonders what else will happen before they get to the colony::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
