EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::in engineering working on certain repairs that are necessary::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::walks out of her office and sees that Taurek and T'Pala are researching at the computer::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::on the bridge, at his station::

Host Tim says:
<Moondoggie>FCO: She's rechecking the inventory ma'am.

Host Tim says:
<Moondoggie>Self: ::mutters:: Or playing with those fish again.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::nods:: OPS: Thanks. I figured she wouldn't take a day off. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::tosses the last PADD at the edge of the desk and stands, walking towards the window::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::walks over and stands behind Taurek  while he reads over the medical inventory::  Taurek:  Worried are we?

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
::logs into tactical and performs a passive sensor sweep of the vicinity::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
<Taurek> CMO:  I thought it prudent to know what supplies we have on hand in case of a massive amount of injuries.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
EO: Are we getting any interference from those jamming beacons we passed?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks over at Lomax:: CSO: Stellar Cartography still mapping all this new territory Commander?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::gazes at the stars, his thoughts far far away... well, not that far, thinking of the children who's about to come::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CEO: So far sir none that I can detect.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::looks over the status reports::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::Always enjoys Taurek's positive outlook::  Taurek:  If you're thinking of an encounter with the Cormanii, then I'm afraid no amount would be enough.  But they are still very far behind us.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Frowns and concentrates on his comm panel::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Adjusts the modulation and vector::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::remembers something::  *CO*:  Captain?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sighs, then hits his comm badge::  *CMO*:  MacLeod here...

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
::turns in his seat to the XO:: XO: Cmdr, construction of the mines are well under way, just so you know.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
*CO*:  Sir, you mentioned earlier you would like to go over the first encounter with the cetaceans.  Is this a bad time?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::gets serious:: CSO: Commander, did you hear me?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CTO: Very well, how many are you going to construct?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::tries to adjust the volume:

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Looks up at the Caitian::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CMO*:  Not at all, in fact, I was about to ask you to come over my ready room.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Sir...

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
XO: I left instructions to construct 10 mines for now.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::chuckles::  *CO*:  Seems we think alike.  I'll be right up.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
EO: Keep monitoring the warp system, We've been at high warp for a while, Any problems should start showing up soon, I'll monitor from the bridge.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
FCO: That is correct Commander. Sorry was looking at something.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CMO*: Acknowledge.  ::walks to the replicator and orders some coffee::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::nods:: CTO: Very well, make sure to have at least five extra war heads constructed, I image they are the most time consuming part.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::watches as the CEO leaves engineering:: CEO: Understood sir.  I will let you know if anything changes.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: Anything I should know about?

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::heads out the sickbay doors at a brisk pace and enters the turbolift::  TL: Bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Yes?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO:  ::Points at the console::  Getting something... broken.. garbled.

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
XO: I have already helped assemble the first two mines. Lt Lightfoot is in charge of the remainder.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO:  Sounds like a call for help.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::returns to his desk and takes a seat::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
FCO: Negative, just another destroyed ship, no life signs

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::Exits onto the bridge and walks over to the ready room doors, ringing the chimes::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: On speakers.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::moves from the place she was repairing the blown conduit relay and sits down infront of the main engineering control board::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Aye sir. ::shrugs and puts the static on speakers forgetting to turn down the volume::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::covers her ears:: OPS: Turn that down!

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Jumps to his console an adjusts the speakers:: XO: Sorry sir.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Steps onto the Bridge and activates the master display::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Grimaces as everyone on the bridge glares at him::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::listens to see if he can make out any portion of the transmission::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Receiving telemetry from your location.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Can you triangulate were the message is coming from?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Vector is slightly off our current course...

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::listens the chimes::  Door:  Come.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::Enters and walks in with a PADD in hand::  CO: Captain.  ::nods at Mauro as she takes a seat::  And what did you have in mind?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Trying to estimate the distance.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Feed the coordinates to Helm.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Understood sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
*CO*: We picked up a distress call, I am ordering a change in course to investigate.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Nods:: XO: Aye sir... ::sends vector to helm::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Sits down and looks the display over::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Doctor...  ::hears the comm::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*: Carry on.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::lays her hands in her lap and sits back more comfortably while she waits::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::sighs and tweaks the comm signal some more.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
FCO: Alter course, increase speed to maximum.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sips his coffee::  CMO:  Hope it's not too serious...

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::frowns::  CO: Compared to Cormanii, I should think it isn't.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Aye sir, altering course to new coordinates, but we are already pushing the maximum sir.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::: Thinks to himself, can't go much faster::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::shakes head:: XO: That signal is over 20 light years away... based on the degradation.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Scans the area again, Cormanii ships are 9 days behind them and nothing else around them::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Make sure Science has the location so they can scan.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Even so, contact Taurek and have sickbay ready for this.  ::sips again::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CSO: Begin scanning the area as we approach.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
XO: On top of it Commander. Long Range and Short Range Sensors are at full spectrum scans.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Do you have any identification of this distress call?

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Watch the IDF, we’re changing course, make sure backups are ready.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir.  *Taurek*:  Doctor?  We are detouring to check on a distress call, be alert.  Jakiel out.  ::looks back at Mauro:: Sir, do you have a plan for when we get to the cetacean planet?  Or do the marine Lieutenants?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
*CO*: Negative, it’s about 20 light years away from our current location.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::taps the console and warp controls:: XO: Course change initiated sir. Now at warp 9.7.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Understood sir.  Sir we cannot keep this speed for long.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::runs data base check on signal::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
<Taurek> *CMO*:  Understood.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  ETA?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
FCO: In about 10 hours drop back down to warp 9.6, if your not on duty make sure your relieve is informed.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Just watch the coolant feed you may have to adjust manually.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Understood Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
*CO*: A little over three days.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::turns to adjust the control on the coolant flow::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  I do not think the lieutenants will be of much help when of if we find them...  I'd like to have a plot of our own.  I've ordered Jake to have the honor guard set, but I'd rather not to have the meeting here.  What do you suggest?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Uh sir... that signal... if I'm reading this correctly it's Ferengi.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Sir I have just manually adjusted to compensate.  IDF has also been adjusted for course corrections.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  That means 3 days out of our primary mission. ::sighs::  Very well, contact Starfleet of our current status and let Rou and Tek aware of it as well.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Scans the signal along with OPS:: XO: I agree.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::groans:: OPS: Ferengi?  Can we confirm what vessel?  ::has a bad feeling about this::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Good job. It looks good from here, just be ready for anything.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  How many recordings do we have of the cetaceans?  And I took quite a few pics of the Meglean temple...it had relief carvings of the cetacean gods.  I would imagine they may be the same ones we will encounter.  Perhaps if they saw we knew of them already?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: What vessel sir?  Too far for a transponder reading sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
*CO*: Sir the vessel is Ferengi, and as for our primary mission, I doubt any one can fault us for responding to a distress call, after all that our duty...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Commander, this present change in course is going to add another 4 days or so to the mission.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Yes I understand, but I am sure the ship name is mention in the signal somewhere..

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
XO: Sir, suppose this is the trap our hunters want to lure us into.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::smiles at Jake's concern::  *XO*:  Indeed, Commander...  ::gets serious again::  Ferengi?  Can you confirm that?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Haven't heard it yet... can barely make anything out sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:;thinks to herself:: Self: I don't need another 4 days added to this mission now.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
FCO: Pass our course change to the Lieutenant guests.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Keep at it.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Understood sir and thank you.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CTO: Contact Starfleet Headquarters and inform them of our course change.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Boosts the LRS to get a better reading off the  signal::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::tweaks the signal some more... and loses it altogether:: Self: Great.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
*CO*: Fairly solid, and my instincts tell me it’s Pez.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Keeps playing with the comm panel::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Aye sir, sending our guests the new coordinates now. ::taps the panel::

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
XO: Aye sir. Updating Starfleet on our current situation.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::Hears Ferengi...wonders if this has anything to do with Pez::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Grinds teeth trying to find the signal::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::leans over:: OPS: Easy there Moondoggie. Mia won't like it if she finds bits of your teeth all over her console. ::grins::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Shakes his head:: XO: The signal is gone.

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
::opens subspace channel and transmits the encoded signal to SF HQ::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Monitors the navigation display for a moment and says to himself:: "The sheep to the pen"

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  I'm sure we have recordings of the "whales songs".  Do you think our contact will be initially using pictures and sounds?  ::smiles a bit::  I hate when universal translator doesn't work.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Sighs in relief as the static returns on the speakers... crackling and loud::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::senses the crews emotions::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  I don't know.  The universal translator is good, but I don't think it will be much help with that.  What craft do we have that is capable of going underwater?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CTO: When we get within 1 light year go to red alert.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Hears a partial name being translated::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CSO: Gone?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: It's back now. ::gestures to the speakers::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::watches as a indicator light flashes for a brief second::

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Yes, sir. Will do.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
Self:  What the blazes!!!!!  ::continues to watch the light::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO:  Could a ship be named "My Blessing"?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  If memory serves, Commander On was about to convert one of the shuttles to go under water... but he never did that.  I think I can have Ian working on that.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: My Blessing? Very well keep on it.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Sir, did you get any indicator light flash briefly in the sensor grid??

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Finds the signal again along with Moondoggie:: XO: Negative but the signal is so weak that it is fading in and out.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Are you sure about that name?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CEO: Run a computer check for a vessel named "My Blessing" likely to be a Ferengi vessel.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Stand by checking.

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
::sees a message requesting the CTO's attention from security::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: I'll run a check through the data base...  FCO: ::shrugs:: Sounded like that ma'am.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::sits in thought a moment::  CO:  You know, the dolphins and I are communicating empathically and even on a telepathic basis partially...it's garbled, though.  I just wonder if they have that capability?  Even empathic communication would help.  ::looks at Mauro to see what he thinks::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Logs recorded something.......XO: Sir, a moment.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: I thought so.  I wasn't seeing things.

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
*Security*: Kizlev to Lt Lightfoot, what seems to be the problem?

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: May have been just a glitch, run a quick diagnostic and see what it turns up.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Understood sir. Running a level 4 diagnostic now.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::wonders if he should abort his search as the CEO was ordered to do it.::

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
<Lt Lightfoot>: Its petty officer Myrick who sent the request to you. Seems he's having trouble with the IFF module with the third mine.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::enters the commands for the diagnostic::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  I'm hoping they have developed this sensibility.  That would be of great help for us.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Jumps when the console beeps::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  I wonder what kind of technology they own...  after all, the Meglean ship was sent there about a thousand years ago.  They may be way more advanced than we can even imagine.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: Checking database now sir. ::Taps the console and waits for a reply::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Sir.. the "My Blessing" is a registered Ferengi trader... belongs to one Loc Chou.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: I confirm,

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Any relationships to a Pez?

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
*Lt Lighfoot*: Did he slave the module to the guidance system again?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::winces as the CEO just reported he would do the search::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  I have wondered that also.  On the asteroid there was that container.  Not a pleasant way to travel and I wonder who piloted their ships?  They have to be advanced to a certain degree...which means they must communicate somehow.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Is the Ferengi ship scheduled to be this far out?

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: I may have a problem with the sensor grid.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CEO: What kind of problem?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Sir diagnostic is complete there was a spike in the sensor grid for a brief second but returned to normal.  It bears some watching.  I hope it is nothing serious.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Looks back and forth between the two Commanders wondering who gets answered first::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Checking...

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
<Lt Lightfoot> CTO: Not this time. He tried the bypass with propulsion like you suggested. Apparently the module shorted out when tested.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Perhaps the ship was all computer guided.  And communication between them, telepathic.  ::raises an eyebrow and smiles::  Would be great.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
FCO: That ship was reported over due at its last scheduled port 4 months ago.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Check the Dorsal sensor palette, on deck A, Back trace shows the spike from there.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Understood sir I am on it.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
:: picks up the hyperspanner and heads for sensor control::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO; Just a power spike from one of the dorsal sensor palettes it appears, I have a team checking it.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Interesting.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CEO: Very well, keep me inform.

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
*Lt Lightfoot*: Ok. I am tied up here at the moment. Have Mr. Myrick disassemble the mine and resume construction using a new casing this time. I will troubleshoot the problem later.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::smiles hopefully::  CO:  That would be very good.  But remember...even if they are telepaths, I don't know their language...it would take time to figure that out.  If they do have sophisticated computers, it would help if we could obtain access to those.  Let our computers speak to theirs?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: How much longer until you can get a closer look at the Ferengi vessel?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
*CO*: We ID’d the Ferengi vessel "My Blessing", belongs to Loc Chou.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::turns off the bridge speakers and puts in an ear plug::

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
<Lt Lightfoot> *CTO*: Acknowledged, Lightfoot out.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::leans on his chair::  CMO:  I think we won't need that.  If they are as advanced as we think, they may have a way to communicate with us.  ::hears the comm::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
FCO: No way of telling at this time. Nothing on Long Range Sensors.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Doctor, we shall have to finish this meeting later.  Review the notes and check the "whales songs", see if you can come with something.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: No way to boost the range?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands:: *XO*:  I'm on my way to the bridge.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::waits as he takes another comm and jots down a list of things they were talking about::  CO:  Yes sir.  Perhaps a discussion with our Lieutenant's would be in order too.  ::Stands::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Who ever it is.. they're really excited... nervous... scared.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  Should I speak to Ian about the underwater vessel?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  No, let me speak to him when I have a chance.  ::walks to the bridge::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::Walks out with the Captain onto the bridge::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Sounds like a typical Ferengi, send a respond to him informing him we heard his hail and are in route, but do not tell him who we are.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::heads toward his chair::  XO:  Report.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::See the Captain:: ALL: Captain on deck. ::stands at attention::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Aye sir. ::sends a signal in direction of the distress call::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::starts to stand at attention::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  At ease.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: Are you having any trouble with the COM, I show it tied into the sensor array.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::stays on the bridge to listen and find out more about the distress call::

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
CEO: Sir... don't think the problem is at our end...

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: We’re enroute to the Ferengi vessel My Blessing, we sent them a response, with no ship ID.  Incase it’s a trap, tactical has orders to go to red alert when we get within one light year.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Stands at ease but continues to scan::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sits on his chair and listens to Jake's report::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: I showed a minor glitch, I'm transferring you to another array.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::is amused with the vessel's name::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Any response from the Ferengi ship?

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: On your questions about Loc Chou being related to anyone named Pez... can't find a link sir.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
CEO: Thanks sir.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Negative.. you know.. this might just be on a transmission loop.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Is there any discernable damage to 'My Blessing'?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::hears Moondoggie mentions Pez, mutters::  Self:  I wouldn't be surprised if Pez was involved...

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
XO: Starting to sound like repeating sentences.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: I'm rerouting the COM channel to another array. The dorsal palette will be sensors only.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: Not yet, we just send the message.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Taps the panel and rechecks the signal strength::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Sir, I have repaired it and run a second diagnostic and it checks out fine.  rerouting the COM channel...Understood sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: But part of our overall mission is to check out distress calls.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::runs a level 5 diagnostic on the port sensor pallet to be sure::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Acknowledged.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Still nothing on LRS and the five Cormanii ships are falling further behind::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::watches the ship's course and wonders if this isn't a wild goose chase::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: I think you’re right, the trouble is on there end, Everything checks out here.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Keep attempting to contact the Ferengi ship.  They may be unable to answer or they do not want to answer.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Either way, we have to check that out.

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
CMO: Sorry ma'am. There's no way to tell from this distance.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: Agreed sir.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  As soon as we're within sensor range, give me a full report on that ship.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
CO: Captain, it seems the Cormanii ships behind us is slowing down. I guess they figured out they can't catch us. It does seem that they are also moving around inside the Grave Yard.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Nods to the CEO and listens intensely::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
CO: Understood, it will be some time until we are in range sir.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Ahhh.  I just wondered how imminent medical help would be needed.  So they're still a ways out there?

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
::sees the CMO in a new light since learning of her past actions with the Cormanii::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::diagnostic is completed::  *CEO*: Sir the diagnostic is complete it shows that the port sensor pallet is functioning within norms.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods to the CSO's report::  XO:  That's good news... for now.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::drums fingers on console::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Understood, Check in when you get back to ME.

Host OPS_Moondoggie says:
::Really wishes Clooney were here::

CTO_Ens_Kizlev says:
CMO: Yes, a good 20 light years or so away.
