CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*ACO*: I am in. ::tries to accelerate the cracking procedures and to go directly on the warp core subroutines::

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
*OPS*: Yes, cadet. The quarters here would rival even the executive officer's quarters. I am returning to the bridge shortly. You are doing a good job.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
ACO: Yes Ma'am. ::Steps aside to allow ACO to precede her to the bridge. Still curious over that mystery item.::

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*ACO*: Going to warp made impossible any recovery ma'am.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:

*ACO*: I am sorry, I tried. But at this distance we cannot use the tractor beam.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Then go ahead and stop.  Let's see if engineering can still do something.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
*ACO*: Captain, if we are at safe distance, we should order the Hardwell to eject its core, though I fear if the ship will withstand the cataclysm afterward.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:

Hyde:  So in ending...you will have a ship.  A new one.  Now is there anymore?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  Shall I send a message that we are awaiting final reports?

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
::smiles, brightly and whispers:: *OPS*: I think I will work harder on the replicators with that thought in mind.:: Takes a couple of spanners and disappears in a Jeffrey tube.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: That you can do.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: drums her fingers on the console ::

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
<Hyde> ACO: I see you don't take your job seriously, do you? Then fine, that's all I needed to know. ::does an about face to look at the CTO:: CTO: Since your protocols require to escort an unarmed man to his quarters, why don't you be so kind to do so, and keep your guard from getting in my way this time. ::leaves the room::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Opens a channel to SB10.::  COM: SB10:  Operations, this is the USS Dublin, follow-up to the trolls and their origin is pending investigation still.  We will keep you apprised.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Glances At the ACO for instruction.::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::relaxes and rubs her aching head::  CNS:  Did Mauro have to put up with this...stuff?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::The guard outside falls in step behind Hyde.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
ACO: What a Pompous...

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::She is at a loss for words...::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Whispers.:: *EO*:  I'm looking forward to getting caught up, Gael.  I'll see you after duty shift.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::huffs an exasperated breath after Hyde leaves:: CTO: You needn't finish that. ACO: He is angry. I can tell that ship was his life for a long time. He'll press on, I think.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Nods to the CNS.::

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
Aloud: Well then... ::looks at Paige:: CTO: My congratulations to you, ma'am. ::glad he can smile for her now::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::remembers the little box and brightens slightly.  Moves up close to face Quon::  CNS:  He'll get a brand new shiny ship.  That'll make him happy.  But now...for you...Commander.  ::can't help but break out in smile::  And you thought it was a slip of the tongue...

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
<Guard 1>::Stays with Hyde all the way back as Hyde lays into how horrible they all are.::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::winks at Paige::  CTO: Take good care of our guest.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Nods to the ACO and follows Hyde, ignoring him as so much as she can.::
