::in the Turbolift riding it to the bridge::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: There is a lot of activity on the Starbase as crews work frantically to get the ships ready.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::on the Bridge in her chair::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Takes a report, scans through it and signs off, handing it back to operations to fill.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> :: at station going over all the inventory reports making sure they are filled::
Host Adm_Winters says:
@::Stands at the docking ring then enters the Arondight::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Have we received all requests?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<SG> Adm: Hello Sir and where would you like to go?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A slight power variation is recorded in Main engineering and the bridge.

CMO_Redwood says:
::steps onto the bridge and walks down towards the command center:: XO: Well, Commander, Sickbay is ready. We're already stocked up on supplies from the last docking and now it seems harder to get any extra materials due to the crisis. Everyone seems to have had the same idea.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns toward the counselor... they had not really had much of an opportunity to talk.::  CNS: You will have your hands full... especially where moral is concerned for those of your crew from the Horatio.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: So far all of them have been filled Ma'am.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Engineering reports Commander. All systems nominal. All Engineering teams are ready and all supplies loaded and stored. I also sent those shield modification specs to the fleet. We are as ready as we can be.
Host Adm_Winters says:
SG: Take me to the bridge.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks from the doctor to NoDuz::  OPS: Prioritize medical.  We will take whatever we can get.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<SG> Adm: Very well sir if you will follow me.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Walks out to the "Pool table" to look at the power variation::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
XO: Oh, I'm sure I will... uh, Commander... ::has no idea how to pronounce the XO's name so she doesn't try::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks back at the doctor::  CMO: We will work on it.  At least we had the advantage of recently being here.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Ma'am I am picking up a power variation for engineering.
CMO_Redwood says:
::nods and makes a short 'hmm' noise::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: How is Exeter doing?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: They have always been the number one priority.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I discharged him an hour ago. His whereabouts now are a mystery to me too.
Host Adm_Winters says:
::Follows the officer to the bridge::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Sees the power fluctuation came from the Starbase. Decides the most prudent thing to do is take the ship off Starbase power and does so. Puts the ship on internal power and systems::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
NoDuz: If it would not damage your ego, I would tell you, you are priceless.  :: smiles teasingly before turning.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
<and does so>
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<SG>:: enters the bridge with the Admiral behind:: All: Admiral on bridge.

:: Steps forward.::  Admiral: Welcome aboard.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at NoDuz and nods for him to inform the captain::

Host Adm_Winters says:
::Walks onto the bridge and gazes at the crew:: All: At ease.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Ma'am don't you know that you can't damage a Ferengi's ego. :: smiles::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: receives the message from OPS and heads to the bridge::
CMO_Redwood says:
::stood near the XO, he steps back for the Admiral::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A comm. comes from the station.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: ma'am we have a hail coming from the station.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the Admiral says nothing, she waits for the arrival of the captain.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: enters the bridge and sees the Admiral:: Adm: Hello Sir.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::straightens up::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Does a quick diagnostic to check if the power surge caused any damage::
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: Captain.  Good job so far on the current situation.  ::Walks over::  A moment in private Captain?
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks to the screen in hopes the hail may contain further news on the situation::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the captain takes the admirals attention, she turns slightly and under her breath...::  OPS: Find Execter.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
ADM: Certainly Sir. My Ready room.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: What does the station require?
Host Adm_Winters says:
::Walks with the Captain to his ready room::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> :: puts the Com on screen: XO: Putting it on screen now Ma'am.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow wondering why it needed to be put on the screen, but simply turns to listen.::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<SB OPS>: COM: Arondight: Good Afternoon, do you have a Lieutenant Commander Exeter in your crew?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: follows the Admiral into his ready room:: Adm: So what can I do for you today sir?
CMO_Redwood says:
::wonders what species will appear on screen::
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: Captain, there is some good news and some bad news.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: There always is sir. Can I get you something before we start?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts the other brow::  *SB OPS*: Yes... how may we assist you?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Breathes a sigh of relief as the diagnostics come back negative::
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: The good news is that we won't be conceding any territory to the New Cardassian Order.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Glances at the doctor and back to the screen::
CMO_Redwood says:
::quietly:: XO: Good job Exeter's rear end stopped swelling.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: suddenly coughs as she looks at the screen, her eyes slightly tearing::  CMO: Yes.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: I really didn't think that the Federation would actually do that to start with. However I have a feeling that it is going to make our job harder.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<SB OPS>: COM: Arondight: Good, then you might want to send someone over to the brig.  He was arrested along with 10 other officers in a bar fight.  He took a couple bruises but is ok.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> :: shakes his head as he hears the news::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*SB OPS*:  Indeed... I will see to reuniting our officer to his ship.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: The humor leaving her eyes, she responded both seriously and annoyed.::
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: The bad news ::Walks over to the window:: is we will be bolstering our front line.  Long-range sensors have picked up increased activity from the Cardassian side.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Sorry. ::grins:: Was that bad timing?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<SG> XO: Ma'am shall I have one of my personal go and pick him up?
Host SM_Sam says:
@<SB OPS>: COM: Arondight: Very well.  Charges will not be laid against him.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: considers a moment::  SG: Normally I think I would say let him chill.  But given the situation, go get him and place him in our brig to chill a bit.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Go with him and see to our missing pilot.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<SG> :: smile at  the thought of placing the FCO in their brig:: XO: Aye Ma'am I will send someone right away. :: leaves the bridge::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Aye ma’am. ::walks off, talking aloud:: Aloud: You take the time to heal him up, but does he appreciate it... no... why would he? Not everyone can understand the... ::trails off as he walks onto the Turbolift with the SG and the doors close::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: In ME, more supplies are brought in.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Hears the doctor and sighs... at this rate, those two would either become friends or might kill each other.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: So then I take it our order are to present a presence and not do anything unless they cross the border?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: Engineering, status report please.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SB ENG>: CEO: Um, excuse me, why are you off station power?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*SB_ENG*: because your station just sent a power surge to my ship. I just got done fixing everything, I'll be damned if some rookie running the EPS grid over there is going to short everything out. We'll be fine on internal power, thanks for your concern.
CMO_Redwood says:
::walks down the corridor, taking his med kit and heading towards the station::

Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: Yes that is correct.  You will be send to the boarder.  I am also sending with you the Excalibur, and the Hermes.  That will bolster our side for the time being.
CMO_Redwood says:
@::walks at a brisk pace past all the weird and wonderful species on Starbase 123 ::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SB ENG>: *CEO*: Look, as much as I would like to think it was our side.  I think it was you folks there that modified something to get that spike.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
ADM: Roger sir I would like to be able to talk to each of their CO's before we depart.
CMO_Redwood says:
@ ::walks into the right room where the FCO is::
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: Of course, Captain.  They are currently docked and receiving supplies.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*SB_ENG*: According to the readings I got when the surge came through it was a jump in the power we were receiving from you folks. Check the data yourself.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lightly taps the side of her thigh as she waits the engineer’s report., wondering what she should do about Execter.  He was lucky the station was not pressing charges... then again, it probably had more to do with the current situation then luck.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: Good. So when do we depart?
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: You and your little armada leaves in 2 hours.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SB ENG>: *CEO*: I have checked little one, and there is nothing wrong on our side.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: Very well Sir. Is there anything else that we should know?
CMO_Redwood says:
@::starts examining the FCO:: FCO: Don't even bother explaining why you got in a fight. I don't care. What I would like though is to have the time to see other patients and not just you.
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: Other than to be safe, Captain this is a little dicey situation, and we don't want to throw a match into the ammo tank yet.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*SB_ENG*: Well, since it's impossible for the receiver to cause a power surge or increase, it wasn't us. We can only get what you send us. In any case, I'm keeping the ship on internal systems, as we are likely to leave soon anyway.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Starts to frown:: *CEO*: Chief is everything alright?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: I understand sir we let them make the first move.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<SB SEC>: CMO: He is pretty tough, we had a struggle with this one.
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: Yes.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Yes Ma'am. We got a power surge in the system from the Starbase. There was no damage, but I put the ship on internal systems to prevent anything else from happening. I just got everything overhauled, I don't want to fix anything again.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
@<SG> SB Sec: Well we will take him off you hand now. :: motion the 4 guards to surround the FCO::
Host Adm_Winters says:
::Begins for the Door:: CO: Oh and one thing Captain, Commander Williams for your information has been reprimanded for his actions.
CMO_Redwood says:
@SB SEC: Hmm... Well thank you for not pressing charges. I am sure he will appreciate it. ::closes his tricorder:: I think he can be taken to the Arondight now. ::turns to his SG:: SG Take him to his quarters. If you need anything, I'll be around.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: relaxes a bit:: *CEO*: Understood.  I am uncertain how long we will be here, but I do not believe too long.  I leave it in your hands.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: That is good to hear I really didn't think he needed to be court marshaled.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: We topped off with fuel when we arrived Ma'am. I doubt we'll run out of power any time soon. I'll keep you posted but right now all systems are ready.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SB ENG>: *CEO*: Fine, if something happens on this side there will be someone to pay for it.  ::Slams the comm. shut::
CMO_Redwood says:
@::heads back to the ship, leaving the FCO in the care of the SG::
Host Adm_Winters says:
CO: There was a special circumstance behind his move to XO on that ship, but that story can wait till next time.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Adm: Aye sir it is actually none of my affair on that part. He seems to be a good officer just a little green.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: How do we stand?  Can we leave on a moments notice if need be or are we still awaiting supplies?
CMO_Redwood says:
::gets back to the Arondight and heads for the bridge::
Host Adm_Winters says:
::Nods and heads out the door and onto the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Unless there is something new to be added we are ready to go.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns at the motion near the captains door and straightens, giving the admiral a nod.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: follows the Admiral out::
CMO_Redwood says:
::enters the bridge::
Host Adm_Winters says:
::Pauses:: All: God speed and good luck.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lightly nods toward NoDuz to acknowledge she had heard him.::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
Admiral: Thank you.
Host Adm_Winters says:
::Walks into the TL::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Cmdr we will be departing in 2 hours make sure everyone is back aboard with in an hour.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Assigns a team to check over the power systems and EPS grid for any anomalies just in case::
CMO_Redwood says:
::steps around the Admiral:: XO: Polite chap, isn't he... ::smiles:: Exeter will live.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns toward the captain as soon as the admiral is gone.::  CO: We are ready to depart at any time.  All supplies are aboard and engineering is set, with only a minor glitch.  Do we allow people that 2 hours on the station?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow silently to the doctor in a silent question.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: I want you to contact the captains of the Excalibur and the Hermes and tell them I want to meet with them with in the hour.
Host Adm_Winters says:
::Gets off the TL and heads towards the Station::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Yes but only an hours.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: He's being escorted to his quarters where he can get a clean uniform on and he's fit for duty.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Acknowledged...
Host SM_Sam says:
Scenery: As the viewscreen displays the busy station, one ship stands completely out from the rest.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Inform those who either need or would like that brief hour, to take it.  But have them checked in on the hour.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: looks at the CMO and XO:: XO: Is this something I should know about?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: glances at the doctor and back at the captain with alight shrug:: CO: All is in hand captain.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Aye Ma'am. :: informs the crew of the hour that they are allowed on the station::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As Exeter is escorted to his quarters.  He mumbles "He should have taken them all on"
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Sir, if you have no objection, I would like to take advantage of that hour.  I did not have an opportunity earlier.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Very well I will be in my ready room. Please inform me when the other Captains are ready to meet with me.
CMO_Redwood says:
::clasps hands behind his back:: CO: I trust you feel better now, Sir, and a more formal introduction.. I am Oday Redwood and will be caring for everything you may encounter from a zit to a life threatening disease, although I hope that is rare.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Letting a bit of humor into her thoughts, wonders if it is the zit or life threatening disease that should be rare.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Yes I do and thank that doctor that was on staff the other day please.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A hamster scurries in through Main Engineering.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: I know you did not get much time off ship the last time... You have an hour.  Take it for yourself.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Looks over the Master System's Display and assigns teams to get the ship ready for departure and prepare for normal space operations. Brings the teams up to full strength now they are on internal power and systems again::
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Oh..Jeddi... yes I'll pass that along...

CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Thank you Ma'am. I'll turn things over to my Team Leaders once everyone gets here and things are squared away.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I will see you in a hour then. ::turns and heads back into the ready room::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps slightly away::  OPS: Contact Excalibur and Hermes and set a time to meet with the captain.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Hamster scurries up a console and stands on its hind legs as his whiskers flicker.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Working on that now Ma'am.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods to the captain and turns around to find the doctor still beside her.::  CMO: An hour is not much time.

Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The phaser blast nearly hits the Hamster, and runs away.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: returns to his seat and resumes going over reports.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Engineers: All right folks... here we go again. Phasers and tricorders. Search and destroy. We have pest control issues. Let's move it! ::gets a tricorder and starts stalking her prey::
CMO_Redwood says:
::tilts his head slightly in slight surprise:: XO: I would enjoy that a lot. Thank you.
