<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Quiet Ride>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Captain’s Log Stardate 10201.18, we have just stopped the Romulan Vessel, the Quetrak from getting to communication range of the nearby Romulan Fleet. If they were able to let the Fleet know that the Omega particle was around, we'd be at war once again. We are now on our way to Starbase 385 to make necessary repairs and undertake R&R

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::sits at his station, getting slowly used to being able to see again, occasionally blinking in the Bridge lighting::

FCO_Barkley says:
XO: Commander, we're en route to SB 385 at maximum impulse.  We should be there in oh.. about 3 months.  ::cringes at the thought::

CTO_TRel says:
::at TAC 1 on the bridge running scans of area::

XO_Somak says:
FCO: 3 months, a lot of bonding time. Carry on...

CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::sitting at the CON going over some PADDs::

XO_Somak says:
::carefully shakes the cobwebs from his head::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Looks up from her PADD::  Aloud: Three months!?!

FCO_Barkley says:
XO: Yes sir.  ::set the ship on autopilot and calls ENS. Row to take the con::  XO: Permission to head down to engineering to give a helping hand with the repairs?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Around the bridge, some engineers are still working on the busted panels and stuff.. And the same goes for the rest of the ship

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::rumbles:: CO: Captain, my rrreporrrt is prrreparrred forrr Starrrfleet, do you wish it trrransmitted ahead orrr would you rrratherrr I kept if forrr manual deliverrry once we rrreach the Starrrbase?

XO_Somak says:
FCO: Granted. Ask them to send a report when they get the chance. ::nods::

CEO_Russel says:
::In ME, making final calibrations on the warp core.::

FCO_Barkley says:
XO: Aye sir.  ENS. Row will take over helm while I am away.

CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Nice work, but it can wait until we reach the Starbase, without encryption abilities, it might be intercepted

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: Underrrstood, sirrr.

FCO_Barkley says:
::waits for Row to arrive and then steps off the bridge herself::  TL: Engineering...  ::prays that the turbolift doesn't break on her way down the shaft.::

XO_Somak says:
FCO: Understood.

CNS_Farrel says:
XO: I don't suppose there's anything interesting on the "road side" on this trip?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Barkley's TL sputters and stops...

FCO_Barkley says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant Russel, this is Lt. Barkley.. I'm on my way to...........  what the...?

CEO_Russel says:
::finishes calibrations.:: *FCO*:  What?

XO_Somak says:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS: Hopefully Commander. Perhaps the Captain will grant us the... pleasure... of a bagpipe concert. Or, other things...

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS: Hali how is the morale of the crew?

FCO_Barkley says:
::grabs onto the railing to study herself::  *CEO*: Turbolift one has stopped, sir.  I was on my way down to lend you a hand.. but.. as it seems.. I think I'm stuck in the turbolift.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Exits her office, reading a report as she goes over to one of the few patients left.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::flattens his ears at the mention of the dreaded bagpipes....::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : After a few moments, the TL whirs back to motion

CEO_Russel says:
*FCO*:  Want me to send you someone?

FCO_Barkley says:
*CEO*: The lift has resumed.  ::baffled:: I'm still on my way.

FCO_Barkley says:
::looks around the turbolift and grabs onto the walls tightly as not to be surprised again.::

CEO_Russel says:
::Monitors the warp core, checking his calibrations.::

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Everyone seems prepared for a long haul...but I’m concerned about the long term.  I'd recommend some "community" events, to keep the crew social and in good spirits.

FCO_Barkley says:
<Row> ::at helm on the bridge.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The warp core pulses in its regular flow..

FCO_Barkley says:
::arrives in Engineering, a little shaken.::  CEO: Reporting for duty, sir.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::With a frown, checks on Andrew.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::eyes his boards and taps controls:: CO: In a few days we'll be passing close to a Class 6 comet, sirrr, may I allocate rrresourrrces to study it as we pass?

CEO_Russel says:
::smiles.  Turns to the FCO.::  FCO:  Hi.

CTO_TRel says:
::per orders is running passive TAC scans for the Quetrak and other Romulan vessels::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: So you’re telling me that you want to be cruise director huh? ::laughs a bit::

FCO_Barkley says:
::Smiles:: CEO: Hi.  What do you want me to do?  ::looks around the engineering room.:: I think this room is the only one that looks habitable right now..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Runs another scan on him and begins another battery of tests.::

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: well, yes, he, he

XO_Somak says:
::glances up to the tactical console, then quickly resumes his circuit::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Granted, but see what power the Chief can give you
FCO_Barkley says:
::picks up an engineering kit::  CEO: Where would you like me to go and do first?

CTO_TRel says:
::registering no results after several sweeps continues the scans and begins working on the report she hasn't finished yet due to her injury during the previous mission::

CEO_Russel says:
::Chuckles.::  FCO:  Yeah, well it's also the most important...  As for repairs, we've completed all urgent repairs, so it's all small things; power relays, replicators,
consoles...

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: So, would the Captain grace us with a performance?

 FCO_Barkley says:
::nods and picks up a PADD with a bunch of repair requests on it::  CEO: Uh huh.. so I see.  ::chuckles::  Dr. Macmillan’s sonic shower is singing Klingon Operas?  ::laughs::

XO_Somak says:
::picks up on the CNS and gives her a "not-a-good-idea" glance::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::nods and makes a preliminary check on how much he'll need to divert to sensors, tapping com-badge:: *CEO* Lieutenant Sozorstennaj to Rrrussel.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: What is our current ETA to SB 385?

FCO_Barkley says:
<Row> CO: Approximately 3 months, sir.  Subspace in this region is damaged extensively.  We can not go to warp.

FCO_Barkley says:
<FCO Row> CO: I know it's a little long, sir.... but think of the bonding time we'll have with.. uh.. everyone.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::wonders what Hali means?:: CNS: I'm not sure what your getting at Hali

CEO_Russel says:
::shrugs.::  FCO:  Yes, it is...  must be a bad connection somewhere... you could always take care of that, if you want... other than that, Science lab 1 is in pretty bad shape...

CNS_Farrel says:
::Senses horror from the bridge crew:: CO: Ah, nothing sir.

FCO_Barkley says:
::nods:: CEO: Okay.. Well, I guess I should take care of science lab first.. otherwise, the chief science officer isn't going to be too happy with me.  ::grins:: The science department likes their equipment ship shape, as it were.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Turns to Sarah as she arrives and hands her the samples.::  Sarah:  Go ahead and run these through and see what you come up with.  For the moment, everything is fairly calm.  I will be up on the bridge.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Very well, take it easy on the old girl

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Yeah, and they always seem to need the broken thing...

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::mumbles under his breath about the last stint of 'bonding time' he endured and hmms, rising and striding carefully to the TL::

FCO_Barkley says:
<FCO Row> CO: Aye sir.  She won't get scratched.. not with me at the helm..  Commander Teasley would have my head if I did!

FCO_Barkley says:
::chuckles:: CEO: If it's not too forward.. may I ask what you would be doing?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::With a nod, heads for the nearest TL and enters::  Computer:  Bridge.

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Well I just finished with the warp core... so I need to pick something new from the list.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::stands waiting for the TL and takes off his com-badge, looking it over for damage::

FCO_Barkley says:
::nods:: CEO: Okay.  I'll take care of science lab and Dr. Macmillan’s quarters.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::As the TL stops, she moves to step onto the bridge.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::steps forward, inspecting his badge and bumps into the doctor:: Oof!

CNS_Farrel says:
CO/XO: Think we'd have enough power for use of the holodeck for a little Artemis gathering?

CEO_Russel says:
FCO: Got it, cross it off the repair list.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks at Hali:: CNS: Well I'm waiting, what performance?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Falls back onto the floor with an oomph::

FCO_Barkley says:
CEO: Done.  ::crosses them off::  well.. Uh.. I'll see you in a bit.   I'll report back when I'm finished with these 2 tasks... ::starts to leave:: Oh.. yes.. the captain wants a periodic report from you about the repairs.

CTO_TRel says:
::returns to scans finding the lack of ships puzzling and also wondering if there will be a brief reprieve from the furious activity of past days::

XO_Somak says:
::looks to the CO:: CNS: If necessary, perhaps we can simply convert a cargo bay. What do you have in mind?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::winces and blinks his eyes to clear them:: CMO: Parrrdon me, doctorrr.  ::reaches out a massive hand down to help the doctor up::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks up with a sigh::  CSO:  We have the most interesting meetings don't we... never quite like other folk.

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Ah, ok.  ::sighs.::  Thanks for the notice...

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Takes the hand and rises::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: It does appearrr that way, doctorrrr.

FCO_Barkley says:
CEO: Ah.. the joy of being the head of a department. - the never-ending amount of paperwork.

FCO_Barkley says:
::steps out of engineering and into the TL:: TL: Science lab 1.

Host SO_Meteer says:
::walks out of the TL onto the bridge::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks up at him::  CSO:  How is your vision?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: How are repairs coming Chief?

CEO_Russel says:
::smiles and shakes his head as the FCO leaves.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Turns back from the ruckus at the back of the bridge:: CO/XO: How about a theme night?  We could create a popular location on the holodeck, any ideas?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::blinks a few times:: CMO: Still a bit impairrred, doctorrrr.

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  They're coming along nicely, sir.  The warp core is it full capacity and all major systems are fixed.

Host SO_Meteer says:
::surveys the bridge, then directs himself to the CTO::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO: Hmmm...  It shouldn't be.  Let me take a look.

FCO_Barkley says:
::steps off the TL:: SOs in the Lab: Excuse me.. excuse me...  ::slithers her way through::  I’m suppose to work on this station here?  What's the problem?

Host SO_Meteer says:
CTO : Uh.. Sir.. Ma'am... ::hands here a PADD:: The Lateral sensor array needs a few tests...

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: Herrre? ::looks around the Bridge::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::thinks they could recreate the paradise where he and Jerni spent time during the Apache/Delphyne joint mission::

FCO_Barkley says:
<SO blah>FCO: Here.. you take a look.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Shrugs::  CSO:  Here, the ready room, sickbay... I am easy.

FCO_Barkley says:
::moves over to take a look:: SO: Ah.. I see......  ::runs her tricorder over the unit:: Well.. doesn't look that bad... really.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::turns and pads towards the Ready Room::

CTO_TRel_ says:
SO: Thank you, Ensign. ::takes PADD::

Host SO_Meteer says:
::stands there, as if he had something on his mind::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Follows, glancing around at the others::

XO_Somak says:
::surveys the bridge once more and notices a new SO, simply standing there::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Looks at the captain:: CO:/XO: Your both very quiet...any thoughts?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::enters the RR and sits carefully down in a chair::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: How are the wounded?

XO_Somak says:
CNS: Commander, YOU are the counselor. I'm afraid this isn't my area of expertise.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Pauses::  CO:  We have two that should be up and about in another day.  And one... well, we are working on him.

FCO_Barkley says:
::gets under the panel and reaches up and seals the severed wires and ODNs and other sensory networks::

Host SO_Meteer says:
CTO : Ma'am... ::looks at the rest of the bridge:: Is it true we're 3 months out of the nearest SB?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: Very well, keep me posted

CTO_TRel_ says:
SO: Yes Ensign. That is certainly the way it appears.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CO:  Aye sir... ::Slips through the doors as they start to close.::

CNS_Farrel says:
XO: Well then... ::Turning to the captain::  CO:  Perhaps we should have a talent night...and Captain, you could grace us with a performance on the bagpipes?

CTO_TRel_ says:
::looks carefully at the SO::

Host SO_Meteer says:
CTO : Well.. Why? What happened? They don't tell us much down on the lab..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Walks over to Sozor, pulling out her medical scanner.:: CSO:  Tell me exactly how your vision is fairing.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::rumbles and flicks one ear and his tail’s tip:: CMO: It is behaving much like the so-called 'tunnel vision'.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: The pipes? me? I don't know a single thing about them things

CTO_TRel_ says:
::glances at the command center:: SO: Currently we have entered a field in which we can't create a stable warp field. Perhaps the CSO can explain it to you more thoroughly.

XO_Somak says:
::using his acute Vulcan hearing, picks up on the SO's conversation and considers the validity of telling this information so freely::

CEO_Russel says:
::looks at the repair list.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  Ah... your peripheral vision is not up to par.  ::Scans him and looks at the results.::  Hmmm...

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::nods, Terran-fashion and rumbles:: CMO: Hmmm?

Host SO_Meteer says:
::frowns:: CTO : I know several reasons for that... I just.. ::shrugs:: Well, I guess I should go, huh?

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Ah, but surely there must be some talent... XO: What about you Commander, do you play any instruments?

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  The cones in your eye are repaired, but for some reason, the rods are not activated.  ::takes out a small flashlight.::

CTO_TRel_ says:
::raises an eyebrow at the SO:: SO: I believe that would be wise, Ensign.

CTO_TRel_ says:
::wonders at the SO curiosity but decides that if they really are going to be there three months they will figure it our sooner or later::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::eyes the light with some trepidation and flattens his ears::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: I did play them years ago, but that was when I was 6 and that was 18 years ago

CEO_Russel says:
::Crosses of the first entry and puts the PADD down.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks at him with immediate understanding::  CSO:  Don't worry.  This is not a full spectrum light.  ::Turns it on, showing him the rather dim light.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::pricks his ears back up a bit and nods::

CEO_Russel says:
::Picks up his toolkit and heads for ME's exit.::

Host SO_Meteer says:
::shrugs, and turns to leave.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  Look straight at my nose...

XO_Somak says:
CNS: I have tried my hand at a number of instruments.. nothing special however.

CNS_Farrel says:
CO/XO: Well then that settles it...we're having a talent night on the Artemis!  And I expect both of you to participate!  ::stifles a giggle::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::blinks and looks at her nose, vertical slits already contracted quite a bit::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Moves the light off to the right side and then to the left, watching the reaction of his pupils.::

XO_Somak says:
::looks at the captain::

CTO_TRel_ says:
::feels the beginning of a rather nasty headache beginning and ignoring it goes back to scans::

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits ME, walks to the TL, enters.::  TL:  Deck 3.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::watches her nose as the slits contract and his eyes track her movement::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Puts the light down::  CSO:  OK, look straight into my eyes for a moment.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: Dr. please tend to the CTO's injuries if you please, but when your done with the CSO in my Ready Room

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::looks directly into her eyes::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Leans close and looks into his eyes, gently placing her hands on his face.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::flinches a bit, then holds still::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Hears the captains orders in the background, but does not break her concentration.  Closes her eyes and focuses on him.::

CEO_Russel says:
::exits TL onto Deck 3.::

CTO_TRel_ says:
::looks up at CO and then returns to scans & TAC displays::

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks down the corridor, stops in front of a door, rings.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::goes back to reading the PADDs::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Sets the date for talent night in the ship's computer::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Within herself, feels something twist, then settle after a moment.::

XO_Somak says:
::breaks the little group they formed and continues strolling the bridge, picking up PADDs and dropping them off::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::rumbles and remains focussed::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Slowly opens her eyes to stare into his.::

CEO_Russel says:
<ENS_Spilka>  Come in.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Mr. Somak, can you please go into my Ready Room and retrieve the rest of the PADDs from my desk?

CEO_Russel says:
::Steps in as the door opens.::

XO_Somak says:
::looks at the Captain through a pile of PADDs:: CO: Uh... why not, sir. ::heads towards the door::

XO_Somak says:
::steps through the door and takes a look::

CEO_Russel says:
<ENS_Spilka>  ::sighs.::  CEO:  It's about time one of you guys showed up, I...  ::notices the two pins.::  ...Oh, sir, I, er, what can I do for you?

CNS_Farrel says:
::Taps the display beside her chair, looking up planet side holodeck recreations::

CEO_Russel says:
::smiles at the small woman.::  ENS_Spilka:  I understand your replicator has been malfunctioning.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::breaks his lock with the doctor and looks at the XO::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Blinks back to her surroundings and slowly stands and nods to the XO::  XO:  Sir...

XO_Somak says:
CSO/CMO: Uh... excuse me. ::rushes over to the table and picks up the PADDs::

CMO_Mea`e says:
XO:  No problem.  We are about done.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::he really needs to get acquainted more with the information that is available to him about the Omega Particle::

CNS_Farrel says:
::looks at the recreations, then considers the mess hall, making a note on her PADD::

XO_Somak says:
::pauses:: CMO: What ARE you doing, if I may ask?

CTO_TRel_ says:
::feels headache come on full force::

CMO_Mea`e says:
XO:  Hopefully finishing the healing process.  I was hoping time would do some of it, but apparently not.  There  must be something about his eyes that are different.  ::Looks at the CSO::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::looks between the two blearily::

XO_Somak says:
CSO/CMO: Uh.. carry on. ::exits::
