Captain's log 10805.18
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
I have reformed the fleet back on the Federation side of the border. While I would like nothing more than to head straight for Cardassia and try and end this there is something about this whole encounter that doesn't set with me at the moment. So until I get a direct order from Starfleet to head there I will let the diplomats handle things for now
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
End Log.
Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Internal Affairs X: Decision Day >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::At the MSD meeting with her team leaders to plan out routine maintenance details and organize damage control parties should they need to assist other vessels in the fleet::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A reply to the Doctor's com is placed.  Three ships are requesting they beam over some more critical patience.
CMO_Redwood says:
*CO*: Sickbay to Bridge.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Cmdr it seems that Starfleet has agreed with my recommendation. As of now you are official the Chief Tactical Officer. Congratulations.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Go a head Doctor.
CMO_Redwood says:
*CO*: Sir, I have three ships who want to beam over some patients we can better help. Request permission to go ahead.

CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Feels like a promotion, sir, I been a FCO for years
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO: I want you to know that you did a fine job as the Tactical Officer in the interim.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks at Exeter thinking this might actually be a good thing..:: CO: Thank you sir.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::being relieved from his FCO seat, a post he hold for close to a decade since he had joined Starfleet::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Your experience in this situation warrants the position and I believe you will do an outstanding job there as you have done as the FCO.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Permission Granted Doctor.
CMO_Redwood says:
::sends a comm. to the three ships with the go ahead order, and a note that he can only accept up to 50 more based on the size of space and the number of medical staff:: *CO*: Thank you, Sir. ::sounds busy in the background::.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Engineering to Bridge. We have all our systems online and I have several damage control parties ready in case other ships need assistance. We are going about routine diagnostics and upkeep now.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well on the Scimi and Talwar I  held both posts  even when I was XO on the Tally, sir, so I think it's a good decision: :moving to the tactical post::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The three ships start beaming over critical personnel to the Arondight, slowly sickbay is filled with patients
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Cmdr I will need you to still  handle the Fighters for now also.
CMO_Redwood says:
Nurse: Prepare for more incoming.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::does a long range sensor scan over the border again::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Roger Chief just make sure we are ready to leave at a moments notice.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: aye-aye, sir. I think that is the best option, sir, till we get a more experienced FCO, sir
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: We are ready any time you are Captain.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Long range sensors show no change sir. The fleet responds no contacts. Nova classes report to tachyon contacts either.
CMO_Redwood says:
::gets to work separating the crucial from the ones that can wait::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CSO: Thanks for holding the fort, lieutenant. ::checks torpedo count and power balance on phaser::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO/CTO: Well lets hope that the diplomats can end this whole matter before we get any more people injured.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CTO: I won't miss it sir.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: In my opinion politicians usually make the situation worse ,sir

CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods at the Captain:: CO: Aye sir. The quadrant doesn't need another full blown war.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A com comes through from Starfleet.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CSO; Well, it second nature for me.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain we are being hailed from Starfleet.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Returns to going over diagnostics and checking schedules for checks and services::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: ON Screen.
CMO_Redwood says:
::frantically going between patients, barking out instructions to the nurses as he can::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Sir ::puts the Com on screen::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Slaves TIC to his console so the duty FO only has to worry about flying the ship::
Host SM_Sam says:
<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: Captain, how are things holding up?
CMO_Redwood says:
<Nurse> CMO: Doctor!
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks up to the nurse to see her trying to cope with a patient that just went into seizures and runs over::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::turns his attention to the view screen::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Winters: Thing so far have gone better than we have expected Admiral that is why I am a little leery.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: I have heard from the other fleets that they are also a bit leery as they are sitting on the border.
CMO_Redwood says:
::instructs his nurse to apply a hypo spray as he races around to the patients head as the seizures increase::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO; Permission to speak to the admiral, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Winters; I cant blame them sir.  I have had enough dealing with the Cardassian to know that when it come to tactical matters they are not that stupid as to let themselves get caught with their pants down so to speak.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: One of the patient's wounds is too great, as the monitors squeals.  The patient has no heart rate
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hold his hand up to the CTO to hold for a moment::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::does a subspace ping on the lower bands, hoping to catch some stray military communications from the other side::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: We have some Intel from Cardassia into what is going on with the Government, It is indeed true that the New Cardassian Order has toppled the government.

CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
COM: Winters: Admiral, sir, I  have earned my name in battle, sir, but the Cardassians are like Romulans, sir, so I think they would want to stall us, sir, If we push on now ,sir, en masse, sir.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Sends her team leaders out on their tasks and goes back to her office to work on reports, supply requests, and duty rosters, the usual tedium of being a Department Head::
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks into the direction of the sirens:: Nurse: 10ccs more to stop the seizure. I'll be right back. ::runs over to the other patient::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Sorry, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: gives the CTO a stern look::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::watches the interaction between the two::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: Well Commander, that is a decision that we will indeed look at, but not now.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::nods to the admiral:: CO: I still suggest if we hit now while the new order is still unorganized we can end this now!
CMO_Redwood says:
::begins direct cardiac stimulation on the patient who's original gold uniform looks like a command red one with the sheer amount of her blood::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: That will be enough Cmdr.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::shakes his head and returns to trying to search for lower band Comms::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Winters: Sir does the old government have the strength to retake the government back now?
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks to the monitors as he starts sweating on his forehead from the work looking for a response::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: No they are too scattered and being picked apart from the New Order.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The patient's heart monitor beats, as his heart begins up again.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::tries sending out another ping, lower frequency, hoping to catch a transmission from the other side::
CMO_Redwood says:
::manages a smile as the heartbeat comes back and moves to apply a stabilizer drug::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Winters are they asking for any type of sanctuary at the moment?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::stands back:: self: I'm used to a chair, maybe I should do flight and tac.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::his console beeps, catching a secure lower band frequency and starts cracking the code::
CMO_Redwood says:
Nurse: Give her 8ccs of Cordizine. ::moves back to the seizing patient who has now stopped seizing::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: Nothing at the moment, we have convinced them to a cease fire and to stop a military build up along the borders.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::a short text appears on the monitor:: CO: Sir, I managed to intersect a Cardassian military comm.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Finishes the duty roster and starts on the supply requests::
CMO_Redwood says:
Nurse: Good work, you've done well to stabilize him.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Another patient throws up blood spilling it onto the floor.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO: What is the message?
CMO_Redwood says:
::turns to the next patient and scans her:: Patient: Please, lie down on your side.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Part of military orders, seems like it came from a ship that is heading towards us, sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO: Have you picked up the ship in sensors yet.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Attempting to do so, sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO: What does the message say?
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: Hold on one second Captain, I am getting a message ::Puts the Arondight on hold::
CMO_Redwood says:
::finds the problem:: Patient: You'll be a little uncomfortable, but you'll be fine. I'll give you something for the pain now and get back to you when I can. ::nods and applies the hypo before moving on::
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Something about sending diplomats sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO: Maybe they are going to finely talk. Stay on it.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::shakes his head, there isn't a situation so dire a politician can't make worse::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>::Returns to the view screen:: COM: Arondight: I have just received word, they are sending an envoy to you.  It seems they want to talk
CMO_Redwood says:
::dismisses three patients in a row, pleased that they will survive and that Sickbay is slowly getting more and more space::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::shakes head:: CO: I strongly suggest we push on, the new order is falling and this is a stalling technique
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Winters: We intercepted a message from the Cardassians about diplomat as well sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Cmdr we are not Barbarians we do not just go in with guns blazing. We will try the diplomacy first.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>::Nods:: COM: Arondight: As a gesture of good faith, I am going to order the fleet back to the fall back point and to wait there.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: These are Cardassian they will only talk to gain something for themselves, either we stop them now or have to repeat this whole show next year
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Winters: Understood Admiral we will comply with you orders.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Finishes the supply requests and starts in on the performance reports and results of the diagnostics::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::tries to analyze the message::
CMO_Redwood says:
::keeps up work on the patients::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Admiral Winters>COM: Arondight: Good luck Captain.  Winters out.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I still think this is a mistake, sir, next year we will be standing here against a  bigger fleet
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to NoDuz to close the COM:: CTO: Cmdr while I respect you opinions you ever contradict me like that in front of the Admiral again I will see you busted down to an Ensign again. Understood?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Gets herself a cappuccino from the replicator as she keeps going over data::
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Sir, from the timestamp on this message and the type of class it comes from, a slow military transport, I would think at their top speed it will put them at 2 hours from our location.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: aye, sir
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: We should catch a glimpse of them anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes, then I can verify.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO: Very good Lt keep an eye on it.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Yes sir.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks over at Exeter, then returns to his work::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Inform the fleet that we are falling back to the coordinates given to us by Starfleet.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks to his station and shakes his head and starts scanning for Cardassians::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The fleet receives new orders, and one by one the ships leave.  The Arondight is ordered to receive the envoy and hold position.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::checks weapons:: self: I got a bad feeling about this
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CSO: Looks like we are the one to get to play diplomat.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Should we bring out the good china sir ?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: chuckles:: CSO: I think we can get house keeping to do that.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::smiles:: CO: Aye sir.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Looks over the performance data of the Tactical systems looking for ways to improve shield performance once more::
