Captain's Log 10710.28
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
We were lucky enough to have once again keep Section 31 from destroying us with the help of Captain Hung. However I feel that we have overstayed our welcome here and need to move along with are rescue of Admiral Forrest. Hopefully Captain Hung will continue his aid in this effort but I am not really counting on it.  <CONT>
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
.  I am also hoping that the USS Apache has had some success with their efforts in locating Admiral Forrest.

Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: Hung: We are ready to transport the Officer whenever he is ready.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::seriously out of breath:: *Hung*: Ready to get going, Thank your aid for packing ::seeing most of his stuff already on the padd::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter beams over to the Arondight.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Sir he is in transporter room 1.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looking around:: *CO*: Lieutenant  Commander Exeter Reporting as ordered on my way to the bridge
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*FCO*: Roger Cmdr we are waiting for you.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Let Captain Hung know that his officer has made it and we are preparing to leave.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Heads for the bridge:: *CO*: on my way
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief status on the warp engines?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Exits the turbo lift and arrives on the bridge:: CO John Exeter, reporting, sir. ::quickly moves to the FCO Spot:: CO: don't worry former FCO USS-SCimitar and XO USS-Talwar I know these ships like the back of my hand.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Good then set in a course for the station where Admiral Forrest is being held and take us to warp 7.
Host Captain_Hung says:
@COM: Arondight: Very well and good luck.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: Legolas: You also. Captain McDuggle out.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: All drives and reactors are at 100% Captain. All ship's systems report ready and online. Whenever you are ready, we are Sir.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: his hands glide over his console, entering coordinates and checking the warp engines:: CO; Aye, Warp 7,  ready when you are. 
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Roger make sure you commend you people down there for a fine job.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Engage.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Will do, Sir. Just make sure when we get a quiet moment OPS gets us priority on the holodecks. ::chuckles::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: nods then hits the correct button on his console::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO* I will see that he does it myself.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight sputters a bit then heads to warp

CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Checks over the system status on the "pool table" and assigns teams to monitor and control things and then goes to her office to start making up a maintenance schedule and list of required replacement parts for when they reach dock again::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: raises an eyebrow:: *CEO*: Commander Exeter here, I think something is wrong with the matter/anti-matter flow.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*FCO*: I'll give it a look, stand by Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: You said that you have been on a couple of different ship. Just how did you get hooked up with Captain Hung in this little adventure?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: Got a small splutter when we went to warp
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Checks the fuel systems and warp drives to look for any irregularities::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well, was asked, it was something different then training cadets in combat maneuvers on the academy
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*FCO*: Commander, there is nothing wrong with the engines. You just exceeded the acceleration curve, and tried to put too much fuel in at once, Sir. If you follow the approved acceleration schedules, you should be fine.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: a small chuckle:: *CEO*: understood, Exeter out. :looking back to the CO:: CO: Just graduated CEO, sir?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: hears the CEO:: FCO: Yes so she tend to follow the rulebook a little to close. She will learn as time goes by. :: smiles::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Resumes the duties in her office, getting all the little ducks in a row to make her life easier::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A rodent pops out of one of the consoles in main engineering.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: However she has done a remarkable job since she has been on board.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Good to hear, I'll have to run these engines a little ragged then.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Notices the rodent, thinks "Not again", and goes over to one of her Chiefs::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: I wouldn't do it on purpose as you will get enough chances to do it in this mission alone.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The rodent points his nose up and scurries off into one of the open maintenance hatches and disappears
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Dyson: Chief, I want a crew in here with tricorders and I need you to check all the engineering spaces and wipe out these damn vermin. That's twice I've seen one. Do what you have to, use all the people you need, but get these damn rats outta my engines!
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
<Dyson> Yes Sir, I'll get right on it! ::Runs off to collect a team and gear::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Long Range sensors detect the station in question.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Sir we have the station on LRS.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Yeah, I think I will. ::looks at his console:: CO: I got the station on long range sensor, performing scan on armament
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Once again tries to get her work done in her office::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Tie the Tactical console into your station as well.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: nods:: CO; Aye ::completes scan and raises and eyebrow:; CO :Standard regular type station and reading several heavily armed ships
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Any way to approach the station with out being seen?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
<Engineers> ::Move through the engineering decks and Jeffries tubes with tricorders, flashlights, and phasers, hunting rats::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: No chance, unless there is an asteroid field near by.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Then start scanning for one because we have no chance against those ship out in the open.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::after a quick scan:: CO; None found. If I remember correctly we got 40 fighters onboard. So we can call a diversion.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Rodent, I mean the Hamster pops his head underneath a console on the bridge.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: blinks:: self: could have sworn I saw a hamster.......that can't be right.
Host  SM_Sam says:
ACTION: An encoded signal from one of ships is sent to the Arondight.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: checks to make sure what it is:: *CEO*: Chief I believe we have a rodent problem on the bridge.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Hamster pops out and onto the carpet and scurries off across the bridge.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Sir we are receiving an encoded signal from one of the ship.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*FCO*: It's not just the Bridge, Commander, but I have teams searching the ship on pest control duty. I'll get a few of my folks up to the Bridge ASAP.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Dispatches a team to sweep deck 1::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Aye Chief  it just ran across the bridge  so send them with traps as well.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Put it on screen.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: We're taking a more active approach, Sir, tricorders and phasers. My team is on the way.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::coughs:: CO: Encoded signal coming in, sir
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As one of the Engineering teams sweeps a section of the ship they spot an open container with a hamster poking his head from it.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: An image is displayed of Agent Jay.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
<Engineer> ::Takes deliberate aim at the critter with his phaser and fires::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*;Chief once you have caught these hamsters I want you to also find out how they got on board.
Host Agent_Jay says:
@COM: Arondight: Your missing admiral is on this station.  They are about to move him again.  You have 32 hours before he moves.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: I'll make a priority of it, Sir. I have enough joy in my life without them getting into the systems and causing malfunctions.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The image disappears from the screen.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The critters falls into the container
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Looks like we need to come up with something soon.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
<Engineer> ::Moves forward, phaser and light ready, and peers into the container::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Hamster on the bridge scurries across again and into the Exeter's lap.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well, we could take a shuttle in.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Inside the container is about 10 hamsters with a padd.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Send out that message to the Apache. Hopefully they can be here before they move him as well.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO :If we send out our fighters we can use that as cover
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
<Engineer> ::Shoots the critters with the phaser and then gets the PADD out and checks what is on it::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: The problem with that is that they will know that we are coming and our fighters are no match for any of those ships.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: On the padd is a face from the engineers on the Station, "Good luck out there O’Reiley"
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
<Engineer> *CEO*: Chief, we found the problem. Seems Murphy was playing a joke on us, left a container of critters and a PADD for you. I'll bring it with me.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: No, but they'll be annoying as hell. fighters are fast and agile, if the pilots are good I think 90% will survive and while they are distracting the big ships we can have a small shuttle or runabout dash for the station
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*Engineer*: Well done, Jenkins.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: We found the problem, Captain. Seems one of my friends from the Starbase was playing a joke on me. I'll have a "chat" with him next time we are in port. We should have the pest problem eliminated shortly.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: That sounds like a plan for now. However we will see what the Apache can also do.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Understood, but I think they will agree with my plan as well.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Good Chief and when you get done with him I want to have a little talk with him myself.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Understood, Sir. You can have what's left. ::chuckles::

Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: That is a good possibility however the Apache has also succeeded in infiltrating Section31 so they may also be able to help in the diversion.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, aye sir
