Karri as LtCmdr. Mea’e, Executive Officer
Andrew As Ensign Redwood, Chief Medical Officer

Directed By:
 Sam as the Ship Manger

Host SM_Sam says:
Last Time of the USS Arondight:
Host SM_Sam says:
The Arondight has arrived back at SB129 and has effectively repaired the ship to 99.9% (The .1% is for margin of error).  Now the Arondight is back on patrol on the border as the Cardassian Civil war continues

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Internal Affairs V: Patrol in the Wild >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: On the bridge, sitting in her chair, reviewing the reports that recently came in::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::In her office in ME going over reports and checking repair order updates::
CMO_Redwood says:
::in his office, still trying to get things 'just right'::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: XO, this is the CEO, all ship systems report fully operational. My folks are just doing routine maintenance now.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Tala>: XO: Commander, Long Range Sensors pick up a lot of debris in Cardassian Space.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
::As the current FCO informs her they are at their destination, she just shakes her head with a touch of humor at Exeter remaining in medical.  But given the fact there was little going on, there was no problem with that.::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns around::  SO: From the Horatio and the destroyed Cardassian vessel or something else?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A racket is heard in main sickbay.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: Things look well in order.  Thanks.  Anything you need to work on the project the captain assigned you?
CMO_Redwood says:
::gets up and walks into Sickbay to see what is going on::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Tala>: XO: Some new debris, and some new debris that we just picked up.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Finishes up reports and repair orders, then brings up the files on that new Cardassian/Breen weapon and starts looking over the data again, looking for a possible way to defend the ship::

Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
FCO: Take us closer to the area in question, but do not leave our side of the border.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Redwood sees two nurses try to subdue Exeter as he is squirming.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
Tactical: Anything to be concerned about out there?
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: XO: Aye, taking us in closer.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
SO: Can you give me anything more definite to work with?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: I'm looking over the data in my office now Ma'am. If I need too I'll go to the holodeck for simulations, but right now I think it's just a matter of crunching the data and some imaginative engineering solutions. For now I'd say our best defense is to EMP the weapons as they charge to prevent them firing. I'll keep you informed.
CMO_Redwood says:
Nurses: What is going on? ::hurries over::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.
Host SM_Sam says:
<TO_Happy>: XO: Nope nothing as of yet.  I am listening in on the Main Cardie communications channel, there is a lot of chatter.
CMO_Redwood says:
::takes his medical tricorder and begins to scan the FCO as he waits for his nurses to answer::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
TO: Chatter as in... about what?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: Question for you... with the knowledge we currently have, can we adapt our shields to be more efficient against that weapon?
Host SM_Sam says:
<TO_Happy>: XO: More or less banter from the Rebel Side.  They claim to be able to take on the Federation and make them pay for what they have done.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow::  TO: What exactly are they saying we did?
CMO_Redwood says:
<Nurse> CMO: He's trying to break off his cast, Sir.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: I tried to modulate the shield in the last battle when the Horatio got destroyed Ma'am, but it didn't seem to have any effect. I'm sorry, but as of now I don't have any useful suggestions other than knock the weapon out before it fires.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Tala>: XO: Commander there is mostly Cardassian debris.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns slightly::  SO: Nothing we can do about that then.  Log it and send a report.  Hmmm... also send a report to the Cardassians and see if they are aware of it.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: We were also on the run, so to speak.  Perhaps with some further analysis... and the fact we did have some of the debris beamed aboard.  Have you had a chance to take a look at it?
Host SM_Sam says:
<TO_Happy>: XO: Well with the end of the last war... ::Continues reading the statement:: They claim we suppressed their technology.
CMO_Redwood says:
FCO: You are quite honestly the worst patient I have had. Okay, I've only been CMO here for a few hours but that is besides the point. Now leave that cast alone. It should finish its work shortly and you'll be free to go to your quarters.

CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: I'll go down and do some scans and let you know what I find.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Heads for the cargo bay where the debris is stored to do scans and analysis on it::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter, grabs a tray and pulls it down as his itch in his leg grows.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: shakes her head at Happy::  TO: Ahhh... we have all those military bases over there, stopping them from doing anything.  I get it.
CMO_Redwood says:
::takes a hypo spray and sedates the FCO:: Self: I'll pay for that later, I know it. Nurse: Let's take that cast off and see why it's so itchy.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Tala>: XO: Aye sending message to Starfleet.
CMO_Redwood says:
<Nurse> CMO: Yes Doctor. ::takes off the cast::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Inform the captain of the situation.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Also inform him of the CEO's current status on the situation.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS_NuDuz>: XO: Aye.  ::Sends a quick message to the Captain::
CMO_Redwood says:
Nurse: Seems like his leg is reacting to the cast... some of this should help. ::programs a hypo spray and injects it directly on the leg:: Nurse: Now, please replace the cast and keep me informed of any changes. Leave him sedated for a while so the cast can do it's work.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Leans back in the chair and starts to pull up on some of the old reports and stops.::  CMO: What is the status of Exeter?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Starts sub molecular scans for things like changes in the material and energy signatures of the debris to learn more about how the weapon damages its targets::
CMO_Redwood says:
*XO*: Well Commander, nothing serious. He had a reaction to the cast, but, well, suffices to say he'll live.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CMO*: How long before he returns to duty?
CMO_Redwood says:
*XO*: Depends on him. It'll take a little while for the swelling of his bite to go down, but apart from that he should be back shortly. The quicker I can get him out of my sickbay, the better.
Host SM_Sam says:
<TO_Happy>::Mutters "hopefully never"::
CMO_Redwood says:
::decides to see how well he can trust his nurses and decides to leave her to it and leaves Sickbay::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Ignoring Happy::  *CMO*: Understood.  Inform him, baring the unforeseen, we will expect him to report to his next duty shift.
CMO_Redwood says:
*XO*: As soon as he wakes, I shall do it. ::enters a turbo lift::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Awake?  Decides it would be wiser to leave that alone and with a sigh, returns to wading through old reports.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Continues scans and inputting data into the database as she continues her investigation::

CMO_Redwood says:
::exits the turbo lift and walks onto the bridge for the first time in his blue uniform and looks around::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Hearing an arrival, automatically glances up and then back at her padd.  As the newcomer registers, she looks back up with a smile::  CMO: Doctor...
CMO_Redwood says:
::walks down to the center of the bridge:: XO: Is there a chair I can use here? It's more or less quiet down in Sickbay.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: XO, this is CEO. I have found a pattern to the weapon's energy signature. I believe with a bit more number crunching I can devise a shield modulation that can help us counter the effect.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: motions him toward one of the empty consoles::  CMO: Quiet in medical is usually good.  Have you had a chance to meet your staff?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: Can you give me a time frame?
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Yes, and I think I remembered all their names now, but time will tell.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: I'd like to run it through the simulations a few times, but I should be able to give you a preliminary report in half an hour?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Most of your staff is my ex-medical team.  Most of them are both researchers as well as practitioners.  While I enjoy having familiar faces and friends about, why Starfleet assigned my whole team ::shrugs::  I am a bit clueless on.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Leaves the cargo bay to return to ME to run the simulations::
CMO_Redwood says:
::takes the spare seat at the command center::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: That is far better timing then I thought I would get.  Thanks.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Don't mention it. O'Reiley out.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Starfleet confuses us all at least one time each, I think. Perhaps it is on purpose.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: I am not sure if our CEO is living up to the ideal of engineers being miracle workers, or this assignment is simpler then I thought.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: I do not like confusion, life is confusing as it is.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Returns to her office, inputs the new data into the simulation program, and starts crunching the numbers to try and find the most optimal shield modulation::
CMO_Redwood says:
::smiles politely:: XO: We lost the Horatio to get this 'engineering miracle', I am simply hoping that your..I mean our CEO can apply it better than my previous one... ::gets confused in his sentence::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at Redwood::  CMO: In all the rush and changes, I really did not get a chance to offer my condolences and I hope you did not loose anyone important... to you that is.  All of the Horatio crew was important.
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks back at the XO:: XO: It will take some time to move on, but there's no better way than carrying on my duties to Starfleet. I am grateful for this assignment.

Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS_NuDuz>: XO: Commander, I am receiving a message broadcasting on all frequencies.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: And we :: smiles:: especially one medical scientist, are glad to have you aboard.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I think what gets me the most is how... what is the word?... well... let'
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Put on speaker.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS_NuDuz>: XO: Aye.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Finishes setting up the parameters and starts trying the simulation with various modulation settings to see which works best::
CMO_Redwood says:
<cont.> 's just say my previous XO let me down. ::goes quiet to let the XO carry on working::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Cardassian>I am Gul Facet, I am the leader of what was known as the Obsidian Order, we now call ourselves, the New Cardassian Order.  As we stand here before you, my forces have taken over Cardassia and have accepted the surrender of the so-called new Cardassian government.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Verify the message as well as the location.
CMO_Redwood says:
::intrigued by what he hears over the speakers and raises an eyebrow::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns around::  SO: Were you able to send a message to the Cardassian government?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quietly, as she waits her questions answered::  CMO: I sincerely hope I do not let you down.  And we still have yet to discover what happened.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Tala>: XO: All communications to the Cardassians are being re-routed.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Facet>::Out loud:: The first order of business is to order the Federation to dismantle the outposts near the Cardassian borders.  The Federation has 24 hours to comply.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
SO: Where to?
CMO_Redwood says:
Out loud: Dream on!
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: shakes her head at the demand and speaking in general::  I would laugh if this was not so serious.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Inform the captain of the situation and then make sure Starfleet received the message and demand.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Continues running the possible combinations on the shield modulations against the known data on the enemy weapon::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I didn't think the Cardassians would be so quick to threaten a war after their huge losses with the Dominion.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Tala>: XO: Tracking, I have a set of coordinates near a planet in the Kevlas System.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS_NuDuz>: XO: Aye.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: It has not quite been that short of a time, but still, you are correct.  Obviously something has given them either an incentive or confidence that they can succeed.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS_NuDuz>: XO: Commander, I am getting a message from Admiral Winters.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I wish we knew what that was... or perhaps being known for arrogance is for a reason.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: We may have problems, be prepared for anything, including battle.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Put it through.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Understood, all the systems are ready, and I'm working on that new modulation as fast as I can.
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks to the viewscreen wanting the next piece of the puzzle::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Perhaps Starfleet had an inkling to what might occur... that would explain my... ummm... your staff.
Host SM_Sam says:
<Winters>COM: Arondight: Commander, I am recalling all ships in this sector to regroup at Starbase 129.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: And I was just getting used to being out here.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Acknowledge the message.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
Flight: Set course.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Captain, we have new orders in light of the Cardassian's request.
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: Aye, Commander, course and speed set.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: You know what you will have to prepare for.  Make sure you have all you need.  If you need anything... let OPS know and we will pick up extras at Starbase 129.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: If there is a risk of war, I'd better brush up on Cardassian physiology as being frontline, I am sure we'll end up with some in our sickbay. And their blood takes ages to clean off the carpets...
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
Flight: ETA?
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: XO: In 20 minutes, sir.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
FCO: Engage...
CMO_Redwood says:
::stands and decides to get to Sickbay:: XO: You know where to find me. ::nods a goodbye and walks to the turbo lift::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Tries to speed up her testing and simulations::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Dr. Leamond is an expert in that area... make use of her.
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>:XO: Aye.  ::Engages::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight swings around and warps into space.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I will. ::walks into the turbo lift::

Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns to look up a the screen, seeing all the beauty it shows and none of the ugliness yet possibly to come.::
Host SM_Sam says:
