XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smirks::  CO: Not as yet... to self involved it seems.

Sarok says:
Greta: What is it that you seek from me?

Host Nakamura says:
::Taps Juarez lightly with the PADD::  Juarez: Focus Jose.  We're almost there.  Now...Are we ready?

Greta_Vandermark says:
::Lightly touches Sarok's arm::  Sarok: Please my friend I meant no harm.  Sometimes is just good to share ones achievements with another.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::taps her fingers restlessly on her chair arm then slaps it with her hand:: XO: Call each of them by name and get an answer.  Otherwise I'll go down there myself. ::growls a bit::

TO_Re`Volos says:

:: snarls at the SO as he passes. returns to his duties ::

Sarok says:
::shrinks from Greta’s touch, doesn't she know that to touch a Vulcan is the height of impropriety? What if he were in the blood fever? then realizes if he were, he would not be on the trip, then hears the XO:: XO: I am ready.

CNS: ::looks over at her:: Sorry Counselor, wasn’t ignoring you....just trying to get things going.  What did you want?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::gets up and moves beside the captain:: CO: I was looking at the roster of scientists and noticed the Vulcan...would anyone have scanned him medically?  I mean after the incident in sickbay?

SO_So`Quon says:
::logs in and checks on the operational status of deflector control and the attached experimental devices::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*Juarez*: Is your sensor ready?

Greta_Vandermark says:
::Knows she un-nerved Sarok and takes a step back..:: Sarok:  Ok then, I'll be over with Kragen if you need me.  ::Goes back to her boss.::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
*XO*: Yes, Ma'am our sensor is ready

SO_So`Quon says:
::mentally notes the apparent hostility from the Klingon and continues his work:: CO: Captain, all signs show green for the experiments to begin operation.

Host Nakamura says:
::Smiles reassuringly at Jose::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CNS: I'm not certain that would be a diplomatic move, Counselor. Especially since they all have VIP status.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: Good, Ensign.  Then start the first test.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*Kragen*: Is your sensor ready?

Host Nakamura says:
JM: Let's go.  ::Pats him on the shoulder and heads for the bridge::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::follows Nakamura like a dutiful ensign:: Nakamura: Yes, Ma'am

Host Kragen says:
*XO*: Of course!  Been ready for hours.  Just been waiting on these others. ::Sneers::

SO_So`Quon says:
CO: Aye, sir. Commencing initialization process...

Host Kragen says:
Gretel: Come on Gretel, let's go make history.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Finally ma'am they all report as being ready.

Sarok says:
:: raises his eyebrow as he hears Kragen::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  I agree, but on the other hand with this being a classified mission.  I didn't know if it would be prudent.  Just bringing it to your attention, captain.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hears the scientists and shakes her head, leans over and says quietly:: XO: Toxes' fungus is starting to sound better and better. ::grins::

EO_Knight says:
::leans up against a wall and looks over the duty roster in his hand.:: "Computer: Locate Dr.Sarok"

Greta_Vandermark says:
::comes up behind Kragen quietly and lightly rubs his shoulders.:: Kragen.  Come on my friend... easy does it.  Don't pop a blood vessel right now of all times.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::chuckles and pulls open a sensor window on her console::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::The Sec. Officer assigned to Nakamura follows them onto the bridge::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: Very good, Ensign.  And Ensign...I prefer the address of Captain or Ma'am, please.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:

SO_So`Quon says:
::nods:: CO: As you will, ma'am. :: proceeds to the next startup phase::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: Who is first on the agenda?

OPS_Keach says:
:: Notices a small alarm go off at his station. He switches it off and looks at the readout:: Self: Power spike, hmm, no problem

Host Nakamura says:
::Arrives on the bridge and heads over to the Science station::

EO_Knight says:
::shakes head at the Computer and taps his COM badge.:: *Dr.Sarok*: Ensign Knight to Dr.Sarok.

Host Nakamura says:
Arrives on the bridge and heads for the science stations.  Annoyed at seeing Nakamura there already::

Host Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Follows closely on Kragen's heals.::

Sarok says:
::walks away from his sensor out of the sensor bay and towards the bridge, hears his comm..badge go off:: *EO*: Yes ensign?

SO_So`Quon says:
::hears the OPS:: OPS: Power spike? Make certain the power output is perfectly balanced. The equipment is highly sensitive.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CMO*: Doctor, if your duties permit... why don't you join us on the bridge.

SO_So`Quon says:
CO: I will commence with the Nakamura device if that is acceptable.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::The Sec. Officer assigned to Sarok follows him onto the bridge::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sees the scientists arrive and nods:: SO: Begin.

OPS_Keach says:
SO: Oh, it's nothing to worry about So'Quon, it is fine, but just to be safe I will balance the power flow

Host Kragen says:
All: I shall go first

TO_Re`Volos says:
::Re'Volos follows Kragen and Greta onto the bridge as well::

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*:: On my way!

CNS_Jakiel says:
::hears the XO and the experiments beginning and decides to wait to go to sickbay.  Takes her seat again::

CMO_Hunter says:
::leaves for the bridge::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
All: What?! I don't think so...

EO_Knight says:
*Dr.Sarok*: Doctor. Could you please report to Engineering?  I need to discuss with you on some of the Delphyne's systems.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Holds up her crossed fingers to Kragen and mouths good luck to him.::

Host Kragen says:
All: As the senior researcher, it is my right.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: checking his console :: CO: Still scanning for contacts captain

CMO_Hunter says:
::enters the bridge::

Sarok says:
::raises an eyebrow:: *EO*: Can we meet on the bridge? We are about to do the tests... my presence is required there.

SO_So`Quon says:
::looks at Kragen and then the captain:: CO: Ma'am?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands and moves to Kragen:: Kragen: It is my SO's right to choose who HE sees fit to begin with.

Sarok says:
::steps out of the lift and on to the bridge::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
XO:  Oh please Ma'am.. can you humor an old man?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stands up and looks at the scientists:: All: We will concede to Dr. Kragen's seniority.

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain tactical shows all clear, no contacts

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks over to the XO::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: What’s up?

Host Nakamura says:
CO: What!  ::Clears her throat::  Sorry ma'am, but I disagree.  We were done first, we should be the first to test.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods but lets the look on her face reveal that she wouldn't have done so::

EO_Knight says:
*Dr.Sarok*: Of course sir. I'll be up there shortly.

Sarok says:
::raises his eyebrow:: CO: I fully disagree. I was finished first.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::leans over and whispers.:: XO:  It's just he has worked so hard and I do worry about his health.. he has put his whole being into this.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: My decision stands. ::looks at each of them sternly::

EO_Knight says:
::Exits Engineering and catches a ride on the next turbo lift to the Bridge.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: glances up at his mate and back down to his console :
:
SO_So`Quon says:
CO: Understood. Nakamura: Please, sir. The captain has made her decision. CO: Keying in the power up sequence on the Kragen device.

Host Nakamura says:
Sarok: Dr, Kragen is claiming seniority.  :: Disdainfully:

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::ignores Gretel and moves down to the command area motioning the CMO to follow::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Glares at all the scientist for their pettiness.::

Sarok says:
::almost huffs at the CO and her complete lack of understanding, hears Nakamura:: Nakamura: Indeed,

CMO_Hunter says:
::Follows the XO::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
~~~CMO: Shot me please if I ever act like them~~~

EO_Knight says:
::Steps off the lift and relives the crewmember at the Engineering station.::

Host Kragen says:
::Puffs up and looks important.  Sits down at Science station 1::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::almost whines at the CO but after the look decides not to.... she's kinda scary::

Host Kragen says:
All: Watch, and be amazed.  Tell your children you were present when the great Kragen, changed history!

CNS_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head at the 'professional' conduct and 'sends' an amused thought to her Klingon::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Chuckles::  Kragen:  Let's see if it works first. 

Host Nakamura says:
::Turns in disgust:: Self: Oh please.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the two of them:: Sarok/Nakamura: Whichever of you are the next in seniority will go next.  Work it out between the two of you. ::turns back to her chair and sits down watching the view screen and her chair arm console::

SO_So`Quon says:
CO: Captain, the device has been prepared and shows ready. Standing by.

Sarok says:
::almost rolls his eyes at Kragen's remark, but he's too good for that, he's a Vulcan::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO/Kragen: Engage at will.

EO_Knight says:
::Begins monitoring the warp cores power readings.::

Host Kragen says:
::Powers up the sensor.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::raises an eyebrow at Kragen's theatrics, but half hopes that his device works and finds them a nice Romulan ship to fight::

OPS_Keach says:
::Looks at his post and mentally prepares himself for any problem that might arise::

SO_So`Quon says:
ALL: Activating device. ::hits the control::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: How are we looking?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Keep an eye on the power fluctuations and be ready to shut these things down immediately if they red line.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: watches the tactical sensor display as the experiments begin ::

Host Brett says:
Action: In a few seconds, several amorphous blobs appear on the display at Science 1.  Science 2, still showing the display from normal ship sensors, remains clear.::

Sarok says:
::looks at Nakamura::  Nakamura, I should go next.

OPS_Keach says:
XO/CO: Normal so far

Host Brett says:
Action: The blobs are located a short distance away, some in the Neutral zone, one further away.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Smiles and tightens her hand on Kragen's shoulder.::

Host Kragen says:
::Looks at the display for a moment, then raises his arms:: All: Eureka!

CMO_Hunter says:
~~~XO:: awww what’s the matter love I thought you liked science weenies~~~ ::wink::

SO_So`Quon says:
Kragen: What do you have on your monitors, doctor? ::is very curious:: I show all clear.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Wide smile she claps her hands.::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Kragen: Don't get ahead of yourself.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smirks at Owyn::

Sarok says:
::looks at what the sensors are reading and sees they are not so clear:: Kragen: How do we know that those readings are cloaked vessels?

CMO_Hunter says:
~~~XO:: oh yay they've discovered, goo~~~

Host Kragen says:
SO: There, right there!  ::Points to the screen::  Romulans!

EO_Knight says:
::Peers strongly into his monitor looking for the slightest power fluctuation.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::watches her arm chair console and looks closely at it:: Kragen: Are those supposedly Romulan ships?

SO_So`Quon says:
::looks over Kragen's shoulder for the answer:: Self: This is certainly intriguing. Kragen: Are you certain of that?

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Glares at the SO for even questioning.::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Are we close enough that we can scan the closes with a tachyon beam?

OPS_Keach says:
::Hears the word Romulans and thinks about running away::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: How many of those...er...blobs...are within Federation Space?

SO_So`Quon says:
::shakes his head:: Kragen: No...no, that isn't right. Look here. ::point at indicators on the monitor:: These are merely sensor ghosts, doctor.

Host Kragen says:
All: What?  Why can you not believe?  I have shined a light into the darkness of space and revealed the evil that lurks there.  ::Grinning broadly::

Host Kragen says:
SO: What?!  Ghosts!  You're incompetent!  ::Returns to his seat and adjusts the sensor::

Sarok says:
CO: I should go next to prove this man wrong. :;said calmly and rather arrogantly::

EO_Knight says:
::Turns his chair around at Kragen's comment and watches the view screen.::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Kragen: Humor us doctor.  The very base of science is to question what we are seeing.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Nakamura: You should go next. :;whispers::

SO_So`Quon says:
::turns around:: CO: Captain, the device seems to work, but all we have here are mere sensor ghost. Simple aberration that are negligible.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::chuckles at the captain's comment and then stifles it.  Gets up to walk closer to science, curious about the 'blobs' too.  Looks at K`Vas, wondering what he thinks of it all::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::holds up her hand:: Sarok: In just a moment.  Let's verify the sensors first.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: hearing Kragen :: Himself : Now I realized why my people do not care for scientist

Host Nakamura says:
Jose: Well someone should, ::mutters:: that egoistical quack.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::nods in agreement with Nakamura:: Nakamura: Yeah!

Host Kragen says:
::Walks away, triumphantly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: ::a little disappointed:: Thank you Ensign.  Download the data so that Dr. Kragen can study it further and set up Mr. Sarok's experiment.

SO_So`Quon says:
::shows Jakiel the monitors:: CNS: See here. Proof positive we have nothing of importance on scanners. CO: Aye, captain.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Grinning she goes and stands behind Sarok.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: watches the SO and CNS together as he works :
:
CNS_Jakiel says:
::takes a closer look and isn't sure what to make of it:: SO:  But what if they are? And we ignore it?

Sarok says:
::stands a little straighter and confidently stands behind the SO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: How was the power during that burst?

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Juarez:  A drink in the lounge that says Sarok's works?

EO_Knight says:
::Brings up the Experimental sensor system on his monitor and begins to cycle the EPS conduits to power Dr.Sarok's array.::

Sarok says:
::sits down at his console, quickly types the commands  to the computer to start up his device::

SO_So`Quon says:
::downloads and saves the data in its entirety and passes it onto Kragen's access account:: CNS: No, the resolution of the device gives me enough here to conclude there is nothing there that indicates a cloaked vessel. Sarok: Your device is up next. CO: Captain, we are ready with the next test.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::moves to get out of the scientist's way and casually walks closer o tactical::

OPS_Keach says:
::Checks the readouts:: CO: Captain, they were normal, perfectly normal

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Greta: It will never work... you're on!

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Grins at Juarez::

Host Brett says:
Action: The display at Science one blanks out, then shows three distinct contacts, all across the Neutral Zone in Romulan space.

Host Brett says:
Action: Science 2, the normal ship's sensors, again show nothing.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::smiles at Greta thinking if it doesn’t work she buys him a drink if it does work he gets to buy her a drink:: 

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Chuckles::  Juarez:  Looks like drinks are on you  my friend.

OPS_Keach says:
::Adjust his sensors for a new power reading::

EO_Knight says:
OPS: I've got the core and all energy routes ready for the 2nd set of sensors.

Sarok says:
::would look proud if he weren't a Vulcan::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: watching his console :: CO: Captain the computer identifies the contacts as Romulan Warbirds

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: Verification that these aren't sensor ghosts again?

SO_So`Quon says:
::sends the Science 1 data to tactical:: CO: Confirmed captain. Three of them.

OPS_Keach says:
EO: Understood, systems are ready for the next test then?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CMO: ::moves beside him and whispers:: I need to talk to you about something if we get the time.

Sarok says:
::nods at the CTO:: All: It works. ::said simply:: No amorphous blobs.

SO_So`Quon says:
CO: Normal sensor palettes show nothing however.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: How is the power holding?

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Walks over to Nakamura::  Juarez:  Double or nothing?

Host Kragen says:
::Stalks over::  All: Well of course!  See, they are the same ones I detected.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Distance to the Warbirds?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hears Kragen and cross references the two scans::

EO_Knight says:
OPS: We're all se ::Pauses at the sound of the Warbirds.::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Greta: Yeah... ::thinks maybe he can get her drunk and take "advantage" of her at this rate::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: power should be holding well

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Over a light year away captain.

SO_So`Quon says:
Kragen: No doctor. These are not your blobs this time.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::observes the tactical sensors from her vantage point and wonders if it really is true that they can detect the ships::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Any indication that they detected the sensors?

EO_Knight says:
:OPS: Can you send me that recorded data?

Host Nakamura says:
::Chuckles::  Kragen: I'll be sure to tell my children though.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods her agreement with the SO::

OPS_Keach says:
EO: I can ::tries to open the previous data string::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Negative captain, their flight paths remain unaltered

Host Kragen says:
All: Jealous!  All of you!  Well, let me try again, I'll prove it to you.

SO_So`Quon says:
Aloud: Neutrino emissions, small traces of masked chronotron traces, all the signs of a cloaked vessel it seems. Let me try to enhance the resolution here to get a hull composition.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: And we are sure that they are cloaked? ::really hopes that this is actually working::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Kragen: You already have...let's see if Nakamura can put her latinum where her mouth is.

EO_Knight says:
::Links E1 to the subsystem in order to allow the feed.::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Kragen: No way man... step aside for true scientific genius... Doctor Nakamura!

Host Nakamura says:
Kragen: Oh no you don't.  It's our turn next.

CTO_K`Vas says:
::feels his mate behind him but cannot afford taking his concentration from his duties ::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Touches Juarez on the shoulder lightly::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::startles at her touch:: Greta: Oh...  Greta... ::smiles, almost melts at her gaze::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hears a commotion at science and stands up again:: Kragen: Step aside, please.  We will re run your experiment after Lt. Nakamura has had her turn

Host Nakamura says:
::Sits down at the console and clears the display.  Nervously adjusts the settings and engages her sensor::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Bats her eyes at JM and smiles::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: watches tactical closely ::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::all the emotions on the bridge are beginning to bother her.  Irritably wishes they'd act like mature humanoids::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: If Mr. Sarok has all of the information that he needs then please download it and set up Lt. Nakamura's experiment.

Host Nakamura says:
CO: Captain, you'll need to lower the shields.  My sensor cannot function through them.

Sarok says:
::finishes his download::

SO_So`Quon says:
CO: Yes, ma'am. ::proceeds to the Nakamura experiment::

EO_Knight says:
::Receives the recording from OPS and begins searching for any Energy signatures.::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Is that wise?

Host CO_K`Beth says:

TO_Re`Volos says:
::growls slightly under his breath at Greta's touching of Juarez's shoulder::

SO_So`Quon says:

Host Kragen says:
::Sniffs disdainfully::  All: Obviously an inferior device.

Host CO_K`Beth says:

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Kragen: Yeah? Well, we'll show you.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Self: Not for sure that device would have any practical application to it.

Host Brett says:

SO_So`Quon says:
Kragen: Not at all, doctor. The lack of the presence of a graviton field could be an advantage.

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Shall I prepare an escape course in case the Romulans detect us?

OPS_Keach says:
CO: If there are any at all?

Host CO_K`Beth says:

SO_So`Quon says:
Kragen: Well...not a tactical advantage anyways. ::eyes the CTO for a quick second then looks back at his station::

CTO: Lt...check again for hostiles and if none then drop the shields.  But be ready to raise them in an instant.  Keep us at yellow alert.

OPS_Keach says:
::Sets a course and waits for the go ahead to engage:: CO: Course set Captain, ready at your command

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Hold steady where we are for the moment.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::raises a hand to massage her temple, sensing the 'play' going on between a couple of the scientists, but pulls her hand away sharply as her wrist flexes and hurts::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Aye

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Yes captain.  :: scans for contacts ::

EO_Knight says:
Bridge: Well, I’m sorry Dr.Kragen but your blobs are just reflected emissions.  The scanners are basically detecting themselves. No Romulan threat as of yet.

SO_So`Quon says:
CNS: Counselor? Are you feeling alright?

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: lowers the shields but keeps them on standby ready to raise them immediately :: CO: Negative contacts...shields are down

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Sighs as Kragen begins another fight.  She looks at the EO and decides that he is a big boy and can handle himself.::

SO_So`Quon says:
Kragen: That's enough, doctor. Our engineer is more than capable and understanding. CO: Yes, captain. ::activates Nakamura device::

Host Nakamura says:
::Grows visibly concerned and tries to adjust the device::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::feels her anger rise at Kragen as he continues to insult her crew::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
EO: Ensign...tend to your duties. ::is getting tired of the bickering and about to send everyone to their quarters::

EO_Knight says:
Kragen: Possibly sir.  But the Del and her systems are not and I hardly ever argue with the Data. No scientist should.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Juarez:  Errr we agreed on sythnahol right?  ::continues to watch the screen.::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::waits with baited breath as to what happens and then sees the screens are blank:: Self, quietly: How can this be?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns, surprised Quon noticed::  SO:  Just a little headache, I'm fine.

Host Nakamura says:
Self: No...no...no.  ::Hangs her head::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Greta: We did? Um... uh ok....

EO_Knight says:
::turns around is seat and begins to watch the warp core again. How exciting!::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: notices how the TO is acting :: TO: yltamchoH

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Pats JM's shoulder again::  Juarez:  I'm so sorry.

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks beside the XO, and whispers back:: Of course

Host Nakamura says:
::Looks up at Juarez sadly::  Jose: It doesn't work J.M.

SO_So`Quon says:
::keeps eyes at his monitor, but smiles:: CNS: Good. I am relieved. Nakamura: Calm yourself, sir. I'm fine tuning the gain on the device.

OPS_Keach says:
::Stands waiting for any sign that the Captain wants him to move the ship::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Nakamura: Lt?  Is there anything else we can do?  Possibly readjust the sensors?

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::looks at the two women in shock:: Greta/Nakamura: No... after all that work... and our research and... :;just can't believe it::

Host Nakamura says:
CO: Possibly...but I don't think so.  We'll go look at it again.  Thank you.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Nakamura/Juarez:  This is inconceivable...

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Gretel: Why do you say that?

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::looks at Gretel:: Gretel: What? What is inconceivable?

SO_So`Quon says:
::does all he can and shakes his head:: Nakamura: I'm sorry, sir. ::shakes his head to the captain:: CO: I envisioned this would be the most successful of the three, but I have nothing to show here, ma'am.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Juarez:  That it doesn't work.. You worked so hard on int.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::Hears the CTO:: Self: tojo'Qa

Host Brett says:
Action: Another hour passes.  The sensors are retested, and the results are the same.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Gretel: Yeah... me too... ::sounds sad::

EO_Knight says:
::Begins to go cross-eyed as he stares blankly at the warp-core's diagram on his screen.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Nakamura: I'm sorry Lt.  We'll download the data for you and you can research the problem.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: It seems to me that we need to figure out if there is actually a cloaked ship out there?

SO_So`Quon says:
ALL: That's the last of it. All data from the first and second test are nearly identical. No significant change between the three devices.

Host Nakamura says:
CO: Thank you Captain.  I appreciate it.  ::Looks very sad::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: an alarm goes off on his console :: CO : Captain I am receiving a distress call, audio only

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: It could be that his device is working and their is just no one home

EO_Knight says:
Bridge: Confirmed. I'm not picking up any unusual energy signatures.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: I agree.  It's a question of how do you prove nothing is there? ::smiles::

Host Kragen says:
::Sulks in a corner of the bridge, obviously distraught::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns:: CTO: Location?

Sarok says:
::is quite satisfied with himself that he managed to triumph despite the horrid conditions on the Delphyne::

SO_So`Quon says:
::checks LRS for contacts and attempts to triangulate the signal::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO : Inside Federation space.  Estimate 10 minutes away at warp factor 8

Sarok says:
::looking arrogant and stoic Vulcany::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks over quickly at K`Vas::

EO_Knight says:
::Begins to check all systems to guarantee they are at battle ready.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: My apologies to the scientists but this takes precedence.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Escort our visitors off of the bridge.

Sarok says:
::nods politely, satisfied with his work::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: The call is near the Neutral Zone shall I raise shields?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Put the call on the bridge speakers.

Sarok says:
::gets escorted off the bridge::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
SO: Stand down from the testing.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::at the captain's last order:: Herself quietly: Thank goodness.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Readjust our power.

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Aye :: puts the call on the speakers ::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::signals to the other two TOs to escort their scientists to their respective quarters:: Kragen/Greta: Follow me please, I'll escort you to your quarters.

Host Freighter says:
COM: ANY: Calling any Federation craft, this is the freighter Genevieve heading from Ennan VI to Arteline, heavily laden.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::gets escorted off the bridge dejectedly::

SO_So`Quon says:
CO: I have the contact on LRS, ma'am.....captain, I just caught an additional contact close to the original, then it disappeared.

Host Freighter says:
COM: ANY: We are under attack by Romulan forces.  No challenge offered.  Our shields can't take much more pounding and we can't outrun them.  Please send assistance. Our position is: <coordinates>

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Smiles:: TO:  Thank you...would you have time for lunch later?  ::Follows Rev::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Plot an intercept course and engage...warp 8.

Host Kragen says:
:: Leaves the bridge, quietly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Take us to red alert

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Red Alert.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles as they say that together::

OPS_Keach says:
::plots a course:: CO: done

Host Kragen says:
::Leaves the bridge, but catches the last of the transmission.  Wishes she could stay and help::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO/XO: Aye  :: activates red alert.  Brings weapons systems on line ::

CMO_Hunter says:
~~~XO:: Never dull is it~~~

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Engage and contact the freighter and tell them we are on the way.
