Host Brett says:
Summary: The Delphyne travels on alone through Romulan space, hoping to reach its destination before another Escort can catch up.  The sensors still show no sign of their destination, a supposedly "invisible" planet, now six hours away.

CTO_Vendal says:
::Begins wishing that Lt Syrna was still here to look over them with him::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: Feels something is bothering his mate :: ~~~CNS: Soon little one this adventure will be over and the Katra returned~~~

MO_Wyn says:
CMO: Dr. Here is my final compilation of the procedure and the patient's status.  All you need to do is show me where to put these when I'm finished and I can take care of it myself from here on out.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::runs level 1 diagnostic on SIF and IDF::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::gets up, hoping to work out the butterflies in her stomach::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Smiles sheepishly::  CO: Oh, thank you.  I am not used to such accommodations.  I did not want to interfere with the counselor's duties.  ::Sits in the chair.::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::sighs::  ~~~CEO:  I'm more worried about what some of the crew will think when they see a guard has to follow me.  It may scare them.~~~  ::smiles at the thought of anyone being afraid of her, though::

CMO_Hunter says:
MO:: ::points to a large data terminal at the back of his office:: right in there

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves back to the CSO::  CSO:  Ensign, how is your first alpha shift working out?

MO_Wyn says:
CMO: Very good, Sir.

MO_Wyn says:
::takes the PADD over to the terminal::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grinning:: Modex: Well you know...us soft Starfleet types.  ::chuckles::

MO_Wyn says:
CMO: Is there anything else you'd like me to do, Sir?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Realizes that he's at the helm of a real-live starship again, and a shiver of excitement goes up his spine:: self: ::under breath:: Wait 'till I tell 'em back at the dorms! They'll never believe it! I'll be popular!

CEO_K`Vas says:
~~~CNS: If you had a Klingon guard they would think there is an important woman who will live a very long time~~~

CMO_Hunter says:
MO: Ensign you have the sickbay, stay with the counselor, Ill be on the bridge if you need me

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks out and up to the Bridge::

CSO_Jackson says:
XO : Fine and dandy, sir.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks at the XO and asks quietly::  XO:  Nervous are we?

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Leans over and whispers::  CO: I was meaning to ask, I saw a report from one of our agents.  Is it true that Starfleet vessels are installing Captain's chairs that recline?

MO_Wyn says:
::sighs::  Self: I suppose it's for the best.

CMO_Hunter says:
::enters the bridge::

CTO_Vendal says:
::realizes a new CSO has been assigned and feels real bad at not welcoming them to first shift:: CSO: HI I am Gabril, sorry I haven’t said Hi before but can I get your input on something

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles at the CSO and then turns to the CNS::  CNS: Not at all.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::quietly:: Modex: Actually, I heard that we are getting cup dispensers and little magic fingers that give us massages.  ::says it with a straight face::

Host Brett says:
<Modex>::Stands up and offers the CNS her chair back::

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : No sweat. It's a pleasure.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::stifles a laugh, feeling better now::  ~~~CEO: Never thought of it that way.  I suppose they might think I'm VIP...like our Romulan guest.~~~

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::makes a routine course correction around a minor gravity wrinkle::

CMO_Hunter says:
*MO*:: Never mind Ensign, for some reason I thought she was still in Sickbay, never the less you have the sickbay

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: These are sensor logs from the battle and just before of the ship we fought

MO_Wyn says:
::moves back out onto the main floor of sickbay and begins doing some small diagnostics on the biobed he had just used::

CEO_K`Vas says:
~~~CNS: Grrrr...Romulan guest.  A dishonorable race~~~

MO_Wyn says:
*CMO*: Understood.

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: I am trying to clean it up, there are chronometric signatures and other stuff in here

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : What we looking for? I was sorta'... asleep... during the battle.

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: You sleep hard

CTO_Vendal says:
::Smiles::

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : Play hard... sleep harder.

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks down to stand beside the CNS’s chair::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sees the CSO is busy doing her job and leaves so that she doesn't think that she is hovering::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::surprised at K'Vas reaction::  ~~~CEO:  K'Vas, he really seems different.  He kept the Romulan escort from harming us.~~~

CMO_Hunter says:
::tosses the XO a sly wink and a grin::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves over to the CMO and smiles::  CMO: ::whispers:: Hey is there a bug or something going around?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::senses the CMO without even seeing him and sighs, but understands.  Without turning around::  CMO:  Hello doctor, you chose the short straw?

CEO_K`Vas says:
::tries to control himself :: ~~~CNS: And he will hand us over to the first Romulan vessel that comes along if it meant advancement for him~~~

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : So... what should I look for in this analysis?

CMO_Hunter says:
::smiles back at the XO:: Not that I’m aware why?

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: Anyway I am trying to see what else we can find out about the temporal doorway that the ship went through

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS:: Hello! No I left Wyn in charge of the Sickbay,

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::shakes her head::  CMO: It is probably nothing.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO:: No, no, what’s on your mind?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::brings up the Delphyne's shuttle compliment, and notes an unusual presence of a runabout:: Self: Cool. ::with reverence and awe::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns around to give the doctor a smile::  CMO:  Thanks...I feel like I'm on a leash right now.  Sorry you have to be a handler.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Anything out there?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sits back and just watches and listens to the crew go about their duties::

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : We should cross reference it with the readings taken on the Borg's temporal doorway near Earth.

CNS_Jakiel says:
~~~CEO:  We will see...just remember everyone is an individual.~~~ ::sends soothing thoughts::

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: Captain, I'm reading a Meret class Romulan ship on a pursuit course, about 20 hours behind us. They've finished assisting the disabled Warbird and they're on their way here.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::whispers to the Doc::  CMO: Just have a jittery stomach that is all... I am sure it is all because of the stress.

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : If I remember, the data on that was pretty detailed and conclusive.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Understood.  Can you estimate their speed?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::nods in confirmation, but whispers back:: XO: It wouldn't hurt to get some tests done...wouldn't do to have our XO out when we reach the planet.  ::looks a little concerned::

CEO_K`Vas says:
~~~CNS: As you wish little one~~~ :: enters the Jeffries tube to check the plasma conduits ::

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: My sensor specialty was more toward cloaking tech, if you could run with that I will work on cleaning up the data we have

CMO_Hunter says:
XO:: well, why don't you come on down to Sickbay I'll run some scans

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods and smiles at the CNS::  CNS: I will if it isn't better soon.

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS:: No worries, Counselor

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: They've cloaked, but their last known speed was 9.1. Assuming it stays constant it'll be here in 20 hours

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : You got it. :: turns to console and begins pulling up information ::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: I don't think we can make that assumption.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::hopes her mate really means that::  XO:  Good.  ::pauses and asks with her voice lowered::  About how much longer do we have?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods to Sykora:: TO: Estimate their ETA to intercept at their top speed.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: We are 6 hours out.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::tries not to listen to the chatter on the bridge, but it's hard to ignore talk of Romulan ships on their tail, however far back they may be. Focuses on the star charts where he watches the gravimetric topography of space slip by::

CTO_Vendal says:
::works on cleaning up the sensor data some more::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CIV: What is our ETA to the coordinates at warp 9.6?

CSO_Jackson says:
XO : I've found something on our magic door, sir.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Calculating. ::plugs the changes into the nav computer::

MO_Wyn says:
::looks about sickbay realizing that everything is under control::

CNS_Jakiel says:
XO:  I see.  ::wonders what she could do to pass the time::

MO_Wyn says:
::Wyn's eyes fall to the Dr's nice plush chair::  Self: He did leave me in charge...

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: Hard to determine ma'am. It's an Incursion Cruiser, built for stealth missions in to the Neutral Zone. They're rarely seen, and we have very little data on them.

CMO_Hunter says:
*MO*:: And don’t even think about using my chair.

CTO_Vendal says:
::moves over to the XO and talks quietly::

MO_Wyn says:
::blinks:: Self:  Now that's uncanny

MO_Wyn says:
::looks about for the hidden sensors::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods back:: CTO: ::whispers:: I have already approached the matter with the CO.

CMO_Hunter says:
::must remember to change the location of his hidden camera::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::gets up and walks over to Modex. Quietly :: Modex: Commander, are you able to tell us their top speed?

CTO_Vendal says:
XO: aye

CTO_Vendal says:
::moves back and continues work on sensor data::

CSO_Jackson says:
XO : Pardon, sir?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: Yes ensign.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns to face him::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Sits for a minute::  CO: I guess I did not fully realize what it would mean to defect.  There will be a lot of these questions when we return won't there?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods solemnly:: Modex: I'm afraid so.  We'll do our best to shield you but there's not much we can do.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> CO: The Meret can travel up to Warp 9.9, but not for long.  Their cruising speed is Warp 9.4.

CSO_Jackson says:
XO : The sensor data from the attack checks out in comparison to data taken on this ship during an encounter with the... Vulpani?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Estimate it with their speed at 9.4

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  CSO: Very good ensign.  Was it an exact match?

CTO_Vendal says:
::looks over at the data on the CSO console:: CSO: I never heard of the Vulpani, who are they

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: exits the Jeffries tube and goes back to the pool table.  Begins running diagnostic on the warp cooling system ::

CSO_Jackson says:
XO : Aye, sir. All data matches up.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Ma'am, 9.6 will get us there in right around 3 hours.

CSO_Jackson says:
:: turns to face CTO :: CTO : I have no idea.

CSO_Jackson says:
:: feels ignorant ::

Host Brett says:
<OPS_Hansen> CO: Ma'am, I have a coded transmission from Admiral Kiel for you.  Audio  and for yours or Commander Tarrez-Hunter only.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Call up the database the computer can tell you all you need to know.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Hansen: We'll take it in my ready room.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CO and moves to the RR::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Commander I have just finished making minor adjustments to the engineering systems.  Everything is full operational

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around:: CTO: You have the bridge ::follows the XO into the RR::

CTO_Vendal says:
CO: Aye

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: I wonder what this is about? ::heads over to her desk and hits the comm unit::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Starfleet symbol appears and the authentication protocol sequence begins...

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: I have no idea... careful though my be a trick of the Romulans.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: We'll know soon enough. ::watches the screen::

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CO*: By the time we reach our destination the Romulan ship will be 16 hours away

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::leans in and gives the computer her authorization code and let's it scan her retina:: Computer: Authentic...T'Kar, Captain...Gamma Alpha Alpha Theta

Host Brett says:
Action: The computer clears the CO and the screen changes to a comm screen, indicating an audio message is about to play.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::motions for Sykora to come in closer for her to hear::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves closer::

Host Brett says:
Action: "Audio" Captain, this is Admiral Kiel.  I have some disturbing news.  We found a dead maintenance worker hidden in a conduit here a few hours ago.  I realize the risk in sending a message to you inside Romulan space, but I felt you should know. 

CNS_Jakiel says:
::punches up the schedules outlined for her junior staff and notes to which juniors some of her own patients are going to.  She hopes it will only be temporary::

Host Brett says:
Action: "Audio".  Captain, we feel you have a spy aboard your ship.  Possibly an assassin.  Take care.  (Message ends)

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Computer: Verify that this transmission did not encountered any anomalies in it's transmission.

Host Brett says:
<Computer> XO: Verified.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::shakes her head::  CO: We took on a lot of new personal at SB....

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::checks the power distribution tree again::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Looks more closely and catches some new names.  Romulan space must be getting to more of the crew, she thinks::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::closes the comm unit:: XO: Yes we did.  Gather a list of them and see which ones would have access to sensitive parts of the ship.  Also verify them against the database...not the upgrades that we got from the Starbase but an older back up version.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Since we have no civilians on board this ought to make it a bit easier.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, ma'am.  I will work with the TO and CTO on this immediately.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Looks at the viewscreen, then the guard and rises, pacing slowly around the back of the bridge, feeling out the tension levels::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Lets keep it on a need to know basis.  ::hates to say the next part but needs to:: Check all of the senior officers that came on board also....including that cadet.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: ::nods::  Is Modex need to know?

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : What'd you find out about that alien race?

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: Actually I had to put my research on hold when I was asked to take the bridge

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::thinks for a moment:: XO: Not yet....let's just keep it between the command and tactical staff.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: Keeps monitoring the system, barking orders to his men. ::

CSO_Jackson says:
CTO : Ah well. Please pass it along when you do.

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: will do

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: But double check the backgrounds of everyone that has a rotation of being his escort.

CSO_Jackson says:
:: suddenly feels sick ::

CMO_Hunter says:
::turns back for the turbolift and heads to sickbay::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::brings up a schematic of the Del's weapons systems and their firing arcs:: Self: Hmm...interesting.

CSO_Jackson says:
:: runs to the turbolift ::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at her closely:: XO: Are you feeling all right?  You look a little off.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  CO: Like you I am fine. ::hides the smile effectively::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::continues scanning sensors and monitoring the progress of the disabled Romulan vessel::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::shakes his head:: Self:: Phaser turrets? I didn't think they still used those.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods distracted by the thought of another saboteur onboard:: XO: All right...we had better get back out there.

CSO_Jackson says:
:: feels embarrassed when sick feeling goes away... returns to bridge ::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods and is back to all business::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: checks on the power levels for the dragons holodeck::
