Captain's Log, Stardate 10706.10

Several hours have passed since the USS Hermes left the Starbase for her first shakedown cruise. I must say that I was surprised, excited, and enthralled that the Senior Staff of the Arondight had been offered to perform such an interesting task on a rather advanced Starfleet vessel.

Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse. It seems that an individual or group altered several subroutines aboard the Hermes, causing massive failures throughout the ship. The Senior Staff and I have been working diligently in finding all of the altered subroutines and bringing the Hermes back to working order.

This task has not been so easy. Starfleet Command has decided that the Hermes may not return to the Starbase until the virus has been purged from all systems. In addition to this, it seems that a Holo-Program is currently running around the ship.

This Holo-Program seems to encompass a great deal of mystery. It is my hope that this program has something to do with this entire mess. After all, no one should have had time to download a Holo-Program into the ship's database.

The Glinn, Lieutenant Ki, and Ensign Sheleya will continue with the Holo-Program while Commander Jakiel and I try to purge the virus from ship systems. This will take a team effort, but I know we will accomplish our ultimate goal.

End Log.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::standing in the corridor with the CTO and FCO::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley remains at the helm station, trying her best to isolate the cause of the virus::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  What now?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CTO/FCO: Well I see two possible avenues to explore...  1) Continue to Main Engineering where this message suggest we may find the answers....

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: looks at the map that the CIV is holding:: CTO: From what I understand we need to go to the warp core and look for this clue.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley moves her hands along the console rather quickly, going through the ship's systems one by one, trying to figure out where the first subroutine was altered. Perhaps by finding that piece of the puzzle, they could make some progress::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV/FCO:  Which warp core?  There are three of them, one for each section of the ship.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::sits at science two taking a look at the next instance of the virus::

ACTION: On the bridge all the consoles seem to have an icon on the bottom right corner of every screen.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: Commander, I'd like for you to do me a favor. Can you find the name of the Holo-Program that is currently running throughout the ship?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::nods::  CTO/FCO: Then I suggest we can either split up and go to all three... or take option 2) Head to the next location marked with an 'X' on this map

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: I would think that the main one would be as good as place to start as any.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  What is the next location?  Maybe we can shut down power to the area or something?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::nods understanding Ki::  Computer: Computer, identify location marked with a red 'X' on the holographic map.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods to the captain, very weary from looking so hard at the screen trying to help work on the code::  CO:  I would love to do something that easy.  I'm not a coder and this is really straining my brain power.  I usually work with people, not cold computers.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::hopes someone on the bridge is free to do it, so they can go dashing off to ME::

Host Computer says:
CIV: Accessing.... Deck 4 Section 29.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: I understand, Ariel. Unfortunately, I don't trust anyone else on this ship but our staff at the moment. Let me know when you find the name.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CO*:  Captain, we need to isolate Deck 4 Section 29 immediately.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CTO*: For what reason, Lieutenant? ::She brings up the section on the console in front of her::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::hearing the computer she turns to Ki::  CTO: You contact the bridge have them evacuate and shut down that section.  Head to Warp core Two.  ::turns to Shelaya::  FCO: You head to the primary warp core and I'll take number three.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::directs the computer to find the name::  CO: Pirates of the Arondight.  Now that's strange.  How could anyone have known that Arondight people would even be on the Hermes and anticipated this?  Why wouldn't they have buggered the Arondight's systems instead?

ACTION: On the Captain's screen is shows the Forward Torpedo Room.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CO*:  Its the next location on the map.  We have to get everyone safely out.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::nods at the Glinn::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::begins running down the corridor heading for the third warp core to find the answers::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: *CTO*: That is the Forward Torpedo room, Lieutenant. Where are the three of you heading? ::She begins to isolate the sections as well as ordering others out of it::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CIV: Roger :: heads off towards the primary warp core wondering why the Captain decided to put the Cardassian in charge::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::yelling back at them::  CTO/FCO: ...and report in with every piece of new information.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: A very good question in deed, Counselor. Try to dig deeper into the program. See if you can find out who made it and what the basis of the program is.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CO*:  There's a clue on the map too, it says to look near the power source.  We're splitting up to check out the three warp cores.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CTO*: If you're splitting up I want each of you to be accompanied by two Security Personnel. Understood?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::dashes into a turbolift and orders it do section 2 engineering::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CO*:  Aye.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CIV*: Yes Master. :: has decided that the captain has finely lost her mind on this one::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::contacts his department and requests a security detail for himself, the FCO and Glinn Marat::

Scenery  All the floors in Engineering are busy with engineers attempting to repair damaged consoles, and damaged conduits.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CIV/FCO*:  You'll be joined by a security team.  Captain's orders.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CIV/FCO/CTO*: All three of you, keep me informed on your progress. I want a status report in ten minutes time.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::arrives on the Beta section of the ship and runs toward Engineering::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::groans to herself as she knows quite well how unskilled she is with the coding and sends a message to the Hermes main programmer to write an algorithm to try to ferret out the originator of the holo-program::  CO:  I can look into the side comments that go along with the program.  ::starts to do just that

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CO*: Aye captain:: watches as the security team joins her::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: If you need some assistance, contact one of the ship's Operations Officers and see if they can assist. Just make sure that you are watching over their shoulders at all times.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::whips out his Tricorder and searches::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::arrives at warp core three and begins looking around::

ACTION: As the Forward Torpedo room is evacuated, a young officer stops as something catches her eye.  She looks at the blinking console.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: arrives at the primary warp core and starts scanning the area::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods again::  CO:  I'm in contact with the Hermes lead programmer and am having him document every step he takes.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: Understood. I'll work on gaining control of the holo-emitters. ::She begins to try and do so::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::keeps searching::  *CIV/FCO*:  Nothing here so far.

ACTION: As the three officers look at the rest of the ship, the young officer staring at the console, presses the Acknowledge button.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::passing a console she activates the Comm::  *CTO/FCO* I'm not finding anything either.  Suggestions?

ACTION: Tactical console on the bridge beeps, then the OPS console.  On the viewscreen torpedoes are launched.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CTO*: I am coming up empty here also.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::swears loudly in plain English::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::waits anxiously for the lead programmer to tell her something::  CO: Captain, could the ship near us be in danger since...  :: sees the sensors::  Torpedoes have been launched!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CO*:  Nothing to report Captain.  We don't have a clue.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
Computer: Computer, scan warp core three for any abnormality

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Yates' hands fly across the console. Her eyes widen as she notices the torpedoes launch:: AXO: Commander! Who gave the authorization to fire those torpedoes? ::She taps her Combadge:: *Security*: Security to the Forward Armory.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::hears the security alert::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::is hurriedly searching the log file to see who launched the weapons:: CO:  I don't know!  I'm looking now.

ACTION: The Young Officer runs away from the scene of the crime and runs towards the TL.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CO*:  What happened?  ::runs to a turbo lift::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She sighs as she watches the action on her console:: AXO: Isolate any bio-signs in that area. Check the command codes that were used to authorize the firing. Those controls should be locked.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: hears the security alert and wonders what happened now;: Computer: Run a level 1 dialogistic on the warp core and related parts.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::switches to a view of the tactical room tapes, just seconds before the torpedoes were launched::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*FCO/CIV*:  Maybe we should think more seriously about rebooting the computer and starting afresh.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CTO*: It seems that someone has just fired several of our torpedoes from the forward armory. Those controls should have been locked, Lieutenant. Find out who did it... immediately.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::traveling up::  *CO*: Aye Captain.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::watches the video tapes to see who was near the console::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
*CTO/FCO* Good idea.  Start from the original default files.

ACTION: The Torpedoes move at a low speed then detonate.  The detonation makes a lot of noise and a lot of fireworks.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
*AXO* Commander, suggest a complete computer core shut down and reboot from all default settings.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CTO*: Weren't you the one that was afraid that rebooting from the protected core as it might be infected?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CTO*: Commander Jakiel is working on finding who the culprit is. Once that information is known, I will have her relay the information. ::She sighs:: AXO: We may need to require all personnel to their Quarters...

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CIV/FCO*:  Torpedoes have been fired.  I'm ordered to look into it.  Any changes to the map?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::looks at the map in her hand::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*FCO*:  Well, at least it would start over, and we'd some time.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO: Maybe especially all Arondight personnel.  I haven't sensed anyone unusual yet.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  And I was near the Glinn, too.

ACTION: The map changes again.  The X is replaced with another skull and there is another red X again.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::emerges onto Deck 4 Section 29 and enters the torpedo control room::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Perhaps if I spoke with each of them...?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::presses her finger down on the Comm key again::  *CTO/FCO* Acknowledged.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::scans the controls for fresh DNA::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She nods in understanding:: AXO: I don't believe any of our staff would do such a thing, Commander. However, it does seem that someone has something against this crew. Going out of their way to do all of this... for some sick joke just doesn't make sense to me.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
Computer: Computer, identify location marked with a red 'X' on Holographic  map

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  I'm seeing a younger female officer that set off those torpedoes...  ::continues to watch::  ...a Lieutenant Williams.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
*AXO* The 'X' on the map has changed again Commander

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: Inform Lieutenant Ki. Can you get a transporter lock on her?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::waits while the DNA scan searches the crew files for a match::

Host Computer says:
CIV: Accessing Deck 8 Section 36.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: finishes the diagnostic and doesn't find anything wrong with the system::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She stands up from the helm and moves over to one of the engineering consoles::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the readout::  Computer:  Location of Lieutenant Williams?

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  It doesn't at all.  The punishment for this would not merit the amount of chicanery so far.  I mean that they haven't caused great damage, just annoying activities.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::begins heading off to Deck 8 Section 36::  *AXO/CTO* The new location appears to be Deck 8 Section 36.  Suggest we have Security standing by  ::motions for her escorts to follow::

Host Computer says:
CTO: Lt Williams is currently in her quarters.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: Exactly. ::She continues on trying to gain control of the holo-emitters::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CIV*:  Acknowledged.  ::orders a security team to Deck 8, Section 36::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CIV*:  That would be a good idea.  And I heard your suggestion earlier, but do not think that would be a good idea yet.  I'll talk it over with the captain.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Computer:  And her quarters would be.. where exactly?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::storms into Deck 8 Section 36 with her Disruptor drawn and her team following::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::motions for the team to spread out and search::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: How far is Lieutenant Ki from Lieutenant Williams' location?

Host Computer says:
CTO: Deck 4 Section 21.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::breaks into a run heading for Section 21::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She shakes her head, annoyed that she cannot gain the access she requires:: Self: This is why I was a Doctor, not an Operations Officer.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::opens one of the adjoining doors to look inside::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CO*: Captain I have scanned the primary warp core as well as done a complete diagnostic on the system and have found nothing.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::reaches the designated quarters and rings the chime::

ACTION: The CIV arrives at the Captain's Quarters.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::taps wall panel:: *AXO* Suggest we have this section cleared of all personnel

Host Lieutenant_Williams says:
CTO: Come in.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*FCO*: Understood, Ensign. Report to Deck 8, Section 36 to assist Glinn Marat.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::drops to the floor to look under the Captain's bed::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*FCO*: If you can find the time to try and gain access to the holo-emitters, do so as well. I'm not having any luck in that department.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CO* Aye Captain :: motions for her security team to follow her::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::steps in::  Lt:  What did you just do in the torpedo control room?

ACTION: Marat finds a chest under the bed.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
*CO* Captain... you really need a better decor

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: *CIV*: A better decor where, Glinn?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::pauses her Comm. with the CO and drags the chest out from under the bed:: *CO* Captain, do you have a chest under your bed?

Host Lieutenant_Williams says:
::Shakes her head:: CTO: All I did was acknowledge the alarm.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CO* Aye Captain I will see what I can do from here. :: has the security team hold up as she returns to a console::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CIV*: Perhaps you are unaware, but those Quarters aren't my own. What sort of chest have you found?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AXO: Commander, you have the Bridge. I think I'm going to go and visit "my" Quarters. ::She heads for the Turbo Lift and orders it to Deck 8::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
*CO* Not sure Captain.  I'm going to attempt to open the chest.  Hold on.  ::holsters her disruptor::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Lt:  You set off a launch.  When you're told to evacuate next time, just do it.  Don't touch anything on your way out.  Okay?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CIV*: Do not open the chest until I get there, Glinn. That is an order.

ACTION: The chest has an inch of dust on it.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
*CO* What the hell can you do that I can't?  ....with respect Captain.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
: tries to gain access to the holo emitter::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::sneezes at the dust::  Self: It's just like the bridge of a Federation Starship.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She waits in the lift as it moves:: *CIV*: I want to see the chest for myself before it is opened, Glinn. Perform scans on it for the time being. Yates out. ::She cuts the comm::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes ma'am.  ::takes the captain's chair and keeps listening::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CTO*: Yates to Ki. ::She steps out of the lift and heads for the Captain's Quarters::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::takes a Tricorder from one of the Security Team and scans the chest not removing the dust::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CO/AXO*:  Lieutenant Williams appears to have innocently and somewhat stupidly responded to a request for acknowledgement.  Be careful, this program is tricky.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::leaves Williams room and figures he'd better find out what's happening on Deck 8::  *CO*:  Aye Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*CTO*: It was able to bypass security code locks? ::She sighs as she makes her way into the Quarters:: CIV: Do scans show anything of interest?

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CTO*: Good to know.  Did you relieve Williams to her quarters for the time being.  We cannot have any more 'accidents'.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: tries just cutting the power to the emitters::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*AXO*:  I've already left and I'm not going back.  ::gets into a turbo lift::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: Perhaps they would if you took more time to arrive down here.  In the mean time, I just started the scans.  Patience is the mark of a great Captain.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
TL:  Deck 8

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*AXO*: It seems that this program is taking us for a joy ride, Commander. Have all personnel, except the Senior Staff and Security Teams, report to their Quarters. Inform them that they are not to do anything without authorization by you or I.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::continues moving the Tricorder over the dust covered chest::

ACTION: The Holo-Emitters cut in and out the chest flashes. On and off

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: It is also the mark of a great Cardassian Officer.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::emerges on deck 8 and heads for the designated area::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::motions at the flashing chest::  CO: There you go... it's a hologram

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: I'm not the one rushing the Tricorder results Captain.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::is surprised to find  himself at the Captain's quarters.  Heads on in::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: However, you were rushing opening the Holographic Chest. Please, open it.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::calls out::  CIV:  Glinn:  Are you in here?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::hears voices just as he calls and heads towards the bedroom::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: tries something else to see if it will cut power to the emitters::

ACTION: The chest opens up and inside is a teddy bear.  It has a press me to play button.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She turns as the Tactical Chief's voice is heard:: CTO: We are both here, Lieutenant.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::stands looking excited::  CO: You mean I can open it now??  Oh goody!!   ::drops the act quickly and opens the chest::  CTO: Both I and the Captain

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::arrives in time to see the chest being opened.  CO:  Stand back!  ::rushes forward and pushes her away::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::sees the Teddy::  CO: Can I push it pretty please???  ::looking dead pan serious::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Lieutenant! ::She nearly falls over as she is pushed out of the way:: CIV: Negative, Glinn.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::notes with embarrassment the non-menacing looking teddy bear::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Sorry.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: What is it, seeing that I was pushed out of the way? ::She moves toward the chest::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::standing::  CO: Earth junk.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::doesn't like this one little bit::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Remember Captain... nothing is at it seems.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO:...and 'X' doesn't always mark the spot.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Lets play this safe. ::She taps her Combadge:: *AXO*: Yates to Jakiel. Please erect a containment field around the Holographic chest located in the Captain's Quarters.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::steps away from the chest::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::holds up a hand::  CO: Hang on Captain.  ::steps outside the CO's Quarters::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
*CO*: Captain I have tried everything I can think of toe gain control of or cut the power to the holo emitters here and am now heading to the CIVs location.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::calls back in the door::  CO: OK proceed.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*Shipwide Comm*:  All personnel are to immediately move their quarters with the exception of the senior staff and Security teams.  *CO*: Yes, ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::chuckles, then is surprised to find himself chuckling under the circumstances::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*FCO*: Understood, Ensign. ::She looks toward the CIV:: CIV: What are you up to, Glinn?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Computer: Activate the EMH in the Captain's Quarters.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: motions for the security team to follow her once again and heads for the TL::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wonders why they need the EMH.  Is someone about to get hurt?::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::goes over to the tactical console and locates the chest and has a containment field erected around it::  *CO*: Field is around the chest in your quarters now.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: When that thing blows, I hope to be clear.  ::smiles Ingratiatingly::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  Any change to the map?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*AXO*: Thank you, Commander.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::looks at the map in response to the CTO::

Host EMH says:
::Activates::  All: Where is the medical emergency.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks over the EMH critically::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
EMH: Soon to be right where you are standing.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
EMH: That chest is the medical emergency. There is a containment field around it and an old fashion teddy bear inside. I would like for you to enter the containment field and press the button.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
::Enters the TL and waits for the Security team:: TL:Deck 8

Host EMH says:
::Nods and walks over to the Chest::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She takes several steps back, just in case the containment field fails::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO/CIV:  If we activate it another step in the chain might be activated as well.

Host EMH says:
::Looks back at the CO:: CO: Just for the record I do not press buttons I am a doctor.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::noticing the CO move too she smiles while she asks::  CO: What are you up to Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
EMH: And for the record, I gave you an order. ::She returns the smile:: CIV: Great minds do sometimes think alike, Glinn.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CTO: Absolutely...  that's why I am back here.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Noted.

Host EMH says:
::Shurgs and presses the button::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watches intently::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: exits the TL on Deck 8 and heads to where the CTO,CIV and CO are at::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches as the EMH presses the button, hoping that nothing bad happens::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::Waits to see what happens::

ACTION: The bear lights up and its head wiggles back and forth while playing a song.  It is a children tune.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::raises an eyebrow as he watches the scene unfold::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: moves up beside the CTO: CTO: So what is all the fuss about?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches the bear and listens to the tune:: CIV/CTO: We aren't out of the clear yet...

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO/CTO/FCO: Anyone....  Please... NAME that tune!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
FCO:  We found an unauthorized teddy bear.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: And it hasn't blown up yet?

Host EMH says:
::Glances back the rest of the crew:: All: That is my dear is Row, row, row your boat.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
FCO:  Not so far, although I might blow it up if that damn song doesn't stop playing.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
EMH: Thank you for the information. ::She pauses:: Computer: Deactivate the EMH.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::hands the CTO her disruptor::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::chuckles again and waves the offer away::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Has that map changed, Glinn?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*AXO*: Yates to Bridge. Commander, have all personnel been relocated?

ACTION: The map in the CIV's hand changes again.  The X is replaced with a teddy bear, the clue remains.  And there is another X placed on it.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: Maybe it is trying to tell us something. :: smiles::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks around the ceiling trying to locate the holo-emitters::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::checks the incoming updates again:: *CO*:  Yes, they have.  What's happened there?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*AXO*: We found a teddy bear... that played the tune Row, Row, Row Your Boat...

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::holds out the map::  CO/CTO/FCO: Look... it's changed

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
FCO:  That our engines are about to blow...

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the map::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*AXO*: Have you had any luck with the Holo-Program? ::She looks at the map:: CIV: Where is that X now located?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Ummm... is that forcefield still in place?  ::looks a bit nervous::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CO*:  Our boat?  You mean our vessel?  Maybe the Hermes or Arondight?  And they want us to make it go, perhaps?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: With the way this crazy program is going I wouldn't count it out.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: You're the Captain of this boat.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: This is not my boat. Ask the Computer, Glinn. ::She nods toward the CTO in the positive:: *AXO*: I would assume they wouldn't want us to go if they purposely caused our engines to power down...

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::hands the map to the FCO:: FCO: Here... make yourself useful

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: takes the map from the CIV and give her a dirty look::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches the FCO and CIV carefully. It seems that Shelaya is not very fond of their Cardassian friend::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::seeing the FCO::  Self: And the Captain wonders why I don't respect my fellow crewmembers

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
FCO: Where does that X lead to, Ensign?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
Computer: Find the position of the X on the map in relation to the ship.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CO: Working on it captain.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::is oblivious to all the female type undertones going on around him::

Host Computer says:
FCO: Accessing... Deck 18 Section 12

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::walks back over to the science station to check the messages and progress::  *CO*:  Captain...there's now an icon close to the bottom of each subroutine.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CO: Deck 18 Section 12 Captain. Shall we proceed there?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::turns to the CO hearing the Computer::  CO: Suggest we space that section Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*AXO*: What type of icon is it? FCO: What is located on that section?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Suggestion noted and denied, Glinn. That wouldn't accomplish anything.

Host Computer says:
FCO: Aft Shield Controls.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: I'd feel better

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Self:  Shield controls?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CO: Aft shield controls Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She ignores the Glinn:: All: That sections should be free from all personnel except for Security. We'll head there next.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: heads for the TL once again::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: Captain, you should be away from here somewhere safe...  Like on the bridge where the Commanding Officer belongs

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  I'd like to report to the bridge.  If our shields do down we'll be vulnerable.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CO*: Captain, I was just wondering if they might be using reverse psychology on us.  Have us a power down so we try to go again.  Maybe they needed to set something with engines down that would be triggered once we started moving again.  Just a suggestion.  This whole thing has made me paranoid.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Unfortunately, Glinn, I want to see this for myself. ::She nods:: CTO: Permission granted, Lieutenant.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: is thankful that the CO decided to stay with them::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::nods at the CO and heads towards a turbo lift::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
TL:  Bridge.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: Want and what is more important to the ship is two different things.  You have a responsibility that I'd hate for Starfleet to find out you've been disregarding

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*AXO*: That very well could be, Commander. That is why I don't wish to shut any key systems down. That could be what these people want. Do you have any other suggestions?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: steps into the next TL and waits for the CO and CIV::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She enters the Turbo Lift:: CIV: Unfortunate for you Glinn, I'm the Captain and you aren't.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
TL: Deck 18 Section 12.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::steps into the lift:: CO: Not for long when someday you put yourself into a situation that gets you injured or worse.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::emerges onto the bridge and makes for the tactical console.  Relieves the Ensign and begins running tactical scans::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CO*:  The icon is a satellite.  I'll have the sensors search.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: As you will find out, Glinn, I'm not much for sitting on the sidelines. Now, this topic of discussion is closed. ::She pauses:: *AXO*: Understood. Increase power to our sensor grid if necessary. I assume that satellite has some bearing on all of this.

ACTION: As Ki logs in as himself, he notices an icon on the bottom right of his screen and it is..... a satellite.

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::standing at the science station, sets the sensors to search for any satellites around the vicinity::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::sees the icon just as he hears the AXO talking about it::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::snort::  CO: I could care less whether it was closed or not.  I know the truth of the matter.  ::waits for the TL to arrive::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: keeps her mouth shut and her hands at her side so as not to shoot the Cardassian for not respecting the Captain::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::focuses his attention back on his scans::

AXO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::on a hunch, has the internal sensors look for any satellites within the ship, then extends the sensors to continue searching space::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Glinn, one more snide comment from you and I will have you removed from duty. Is that understood?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: looks at the Cardassian with a wicked smile and pat her phaser::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: Snide Comment?  Removed from duty?  I've got the CO's safety in mind and you threaten me?  Permission to speak Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Permission denied. You may speak to me regarding these matters once this mission is over. ::She exits the lift::
