Host Tim says:
The Dublin exited the rift and discovered they were 15 light years from Cestus III in the Beta quadrant; 277.25 light years from their original destination Fahleena.

Host Tim says:
The Dublin is on the Gorn Hegemony side of Cestus and their sudden appearance hasn't made the Gorn happy.  The Dublin is being angrily hailed by the Gorn for what they consider an intrusion on their space.

::Rolls his eyes and shakes his head.:: OPS: Time will tell.

Host Muluck says:

~~~CNS: I didn't think you heard me...I hope the Gorn do not have a short temper, but I can hardly blame them.~~~  ::smiles wryly and barely shakes her head::

::relaxes slightly as the Gorn closes the comm without threatening to blow them out of space.::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
OPS: Very good Cadet, Continue to monitor.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CEO*:  Excellent.  We'll need them to.  I know you take excellent care.  Hopefully, we'll be getting to Mars soon to get this baby coddled.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the Captain.  Keeps her eye on the sensors and continues to listen for any communications.::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
<Smith> @COM: CMO: Concentrate on the cerebral cortex. We need to monitor changes in brain responses. The synapses may have been altered due to that mist chemical makeup.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods at the Captain::  CO:  Several promotions and quite a few messages from commercial ships...haven't had time to read those.

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:
::checks navigational sensors and the route, but thinks he can relax now::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::breaths a sigh of relief:: XO: It is fortunate my people live far from the Gorn. I do not believe pacifists could mingle too well with the likes of those carnivores.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Handles routine security orders, scans and the like.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Two promotions were already made, but one...I'll take care of that, Sir.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  I'm sorting through all the official communications.   There are lots of personal messages in the mix.  Once the official communications have been distributed, I will distribute the personal messages.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Aye Sir. Still, I don't recommend running them past Warp 7 for extended periods Commander. Our normal cruise is Warp 6.5 for normal operations. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but we don't want to risk burning out the coils this far from home, do we?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Please, Some good news for a change

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  Let me know everything you know about the Gorn.  I have not had the opportunity to mingle with that species before.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Starts plotting repel boarders, search and rescue drills.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS: Good.  Leave home and come back to a backlog of messages.  Thank you for collating those.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  No problem.  ::Gives her a smile, and begins to sort through the personal messages forwarding them to the appropriate parties.::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
COM: Smith: Understood ma'am, but so far I haven't noticed any changes in the crew that encountered Evissam, well except for a brief time when most felt rather happy.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Runs all type of diagnostics on the tactical systems out of habit when she has time.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  It is, Sir.  Promotions were already received and handed out for our good Doctor and our Chief of Engineering.  I'll take care of the last one...

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::shrugs:: XO: I am as inexperienced with them as you are, Tessa. I speak only from what is historically known of them. Perhaps I am being biased... ::checks his monitor again as he notices a message come up from the SF personnel regarding his counseling assistant::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  Hey Gale, here's a message from your mother when you have time to read it.  ::Chuckles.::  Oh, and this one you should find interesting.  It's from Rico.  ::Grins at him.::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Hears the Chief report.:: FCO: What is our time to Cestus III again?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  Then go ahead and read up on their behavior and social customs and any dealings we've had in the past with them.  Wouldn't be a bad idea to know more.

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:
::sends a message to the flight operations personnel to start a routine maintenance of the shuttles, and run level II diagnostic in each one of them::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::touches her combadge::  *CMO*:  Doctor, since we are in Gorn space, are you up to date on Gorn physiology?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
Self:  Hey!  This one's from Sam to me.  ::Has a hard time resisting the urge to read it during duty shift.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::nods to Tessa:: ~~~XO: I am sensing great anticipation in you. Have you told the Captain yet?~~~

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:
OPS: Oh great.....and I am sure my mom will ask me to come home to make some real scientific discoveries. ::smiles::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
@<Smith>COM: CMO: Please send all relevant data to Starfleet Medical as soon as you have completed your testing, and doctor, congratulations. :: smiles and cuts the channel ::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  Well, I didn't read it but I can tell from the file size, it's going to take you a while to read it.  ::Winks at him.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Seeing the CO free reports that there's an Akira Class 12 days away near Klingon Border.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Cadet, please send out to all senior staff to run full scans of all our systems as soon as they have time so we know what to anticipate as far as repairs or reconditioning at Mars.  ::stays positive about returning there quickly::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
:: Rubs his head as if he ha a headache.::

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:
OPS: I know she is too old fashioned to send a video like everyone else, Irish people are crazy I tell you.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Quickly snaps to at the Executive Officer's request.::  XO:  Aye, aye, Ma'am.  Right away!

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
*XO*: Commander, I did not know there was a need. Is there an injured Gorn to be seen?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::smiles widely::  ~~~CNS:  Not yet.  The opportunity has not arisen.  I wanted us both to tell him.~~~

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::stifles snicker at the CMO's reply. focuses on duty.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CO: We are nearly fourteen days from Cestus III, sir.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Looks over to Harker and nods.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  Fortunately, no.  But it isn't a bad idea to be up on the particulars of their biology while intruding in their space.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::returns nod, returns attention to console and internal security/tactical matters.::

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:
OPS: Well hopefully this shift will be over soon so I can go to my quarters and read.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
*Senior Staff*:  All Senior Staff, at the request of Commander Jakiel, please run a full scan of your system ASAP and send your information on repairs and reconditioning back to me so we can anticipate what is needed when we reach Mars.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
*XO*: I'll review the data ma'am. Anything else I should be aware of?

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
*XO*: If we get the chance Commander, it's be a good idea to take on more spare parts and supplies if we get near a station that carries common or Federation parts.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
OPS: Already on it; will pass along.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to Gale.::  FCO:  Aye, I got one from Sam also.  I can't wait to read it.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::returns Tessa's smiles knowingly:: ~~~XO: When you feel the time is right, we shall do so together.~~~

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CTO:  Thank you, Commander.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Walks irregularly towards sickbay shivering and tearful::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
*OPS*: Understood OPS, running diagnostics now, I'll keep you advised as they finish.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  I'm not sure.  We've received a ton of messages and it will take time going through them all.  You may receive some from Operations shortly.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
FCO: Take us up to warp 8.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
OPS: Not a problem. ::smile before returning attention to console.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
*CEO*:  Aye, Lieutenant.  Thank you very much.  Let me know if you need anything.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
*XO*: Understood Commander. I'll be sure to check. Danara out.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Tactical systems nominal, Commander.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: That should keep the Gorn happy for a bit.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Excellent.  That's the report I like to hear.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  Notifying now, Captain.  ::Opens a comm channel to Cestus III.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Decides to give her people a break before starting the drill programs.::

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Walks toward CMO dragging his feet::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  I hope that message is a good one.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
COM: Cestus III:  This is the USS Dublin, Cestus III.  We are enroute to your facility for repairs and reconditioning.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  They have acknowledged our communication, Captain.

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:
CO: ETA is 5 days and 5 hours at this speed.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
Laris: I'm scared... first we get captured by that planet and now the Gorn want to kill us!!!

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Oh, I thank the stars we have Hembrook for our CEO.  Couldn't have better.  Now, Ensign, do you have the ship heading out and could you step away from your console for a minute?

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: glances out of the window in her office and quickly comes to the main bay as she sees someone with Dvari ::

Laris: This ship is cursed!!

Laris: Don't you understand? First we get animals that eat their way through ships... then talking planets... enough is enough!

FCO_Ensign_Delgado says:

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
CMO: ::waves hand in front of him:: They're here... the Gorn are here! ::Backs up against bulkhead::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  A personal matter?  ::Gets a bit nervous.::  Yes, Ma'am.  ::Pulls up some of the commercial ship messages for her to view.::  Here you go, Ma'am.  Would you like me to forward them to your console?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::nods to the yeoman, movingly slowly and non-threatening to him, and offers him a serene smile:: Yeoman: I am Counselor So'Quon, as you know. What seems to be on your mind?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Yes, please.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Forwards the messages to her console.::  XO:  In progress, Ma'am.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: takes the waiting hypo from Dvari :: Schmuck: I have something here that will calm you down. :: looks at the CNS ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks quite puzzled at the messages::  OPS:  What is our Stardate?  How long were we gone?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::turns to Danara and shakes his head:: CMO: That may not be necessary.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Watches the Counselor carefully but speaks to the CMO::: CMO: Doc... why have you called a Gorn to sickbay? Are you in with them now?

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: whispers :: CNS: The man is obviously extremely upset. This will only calm him, not put him out.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Reads over the latest Engineering updates and makes notes on any changes she might make to make::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
Yeoman: I am of the Kressari, crewman. My people are of political neutrality and not aligned with the Gorn in any way.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
Schmuck: This is Counselor So`Quon. He is not a Gorn, but a Kressari.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Looks like we've been gone 2 weeks, Ma'am.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Reads the orders and closes the message, before returning to the bridge.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::continues to work at her station, concentrating on her duty and whether or not to take up wind surfing.::

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Backs away from the Kressari toward the CMO::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::exhales quickly in relief::  OPS:  Good...just checking.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Wonders what the XO wants to talk to her about, still very nervous wondering if she did something wrong.::  XO:  Ma'am, about that other matter?  Did I do something wrong?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::offers a clawed hand of friendship to the yeoman:: Yeoman: Please, I am Starfleet officer and only wish to help. That is what I do here.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: reaches out to prevent the yeoman from going any further and quickly injects his neck :: Schmuck: There now, let the medication work.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
All:  It looks like some people are claiming a bounty for finding our ship...funny how that could happen when we weren't here.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Jerks from the hypo and turns to stare at Danara:: CMO: I knew you where in on... :: falls to deck::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: nods to the CNS : CNS: He should begin to calm down in a moment.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: Really can we claim it on ourselves? ::goes quiet when she sees the CO.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::nods:: CMO: Thank you. I suppose that may have been the only way to ease him to submission.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: bends down and checks Schmuck's pulse :: CNS: He's fine, the sedation just hit him faster because of his agitated state.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::face slowly calms and body relaxes::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::stands as she sees the Captain return::  CO:  Good news, I hope?  ::glances at OPS, trying to decide whether to speak about 'the matter' yet without Quon and decides not to::

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
::checks navigational sensors again and runs another diagnostic of the ships flight systems::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CMO: Definitely an acute case of paranoid psychosis. I wonder what triggered it. Can you tell me what happened?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  And no, Cadet...  ::smiles reassuringly at her::  You did nothing wrong.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Orders a large cup of cappuccino from the replicator and wades into the messages, making plans on the next batch of service and upgrades needed::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: motions for two aides to put Schmuck on a biobed :: CNS: No idea. He came in already agitated.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Breathes a sigh of relief.::  XO:  Thank you.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::watches the medics ease the yeoman onto a biobed while he rests::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Stops near  the center seat. :: FCO: Helm readjust your course to take bypass Cestus III and rendezvous with that Akira along the Klingon border.

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
OPS: With all those messages coming around they better keep you here.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
CNS: Shall I leave him to you for now? :: smiles ::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
OPS: Cadet inform Cestus III we won't be stopping.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Gets a really worried look.::  FCO:  Am I going somewhere?  Am I being reassigned and no one told me?  ::Almost has a tear in her eyes now.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Waits for the other shoe to drop as she passes that notice on to the rest of the security team and has them triple check tactical systems.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the Captain.::  CO:  Yes, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns towards the Captain::  CO:  New orders, then...and no shore leave.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CTO: Keep an eye for Gorn or any other activity along the way.

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
::checks the new coordinates and plots the new route:: CO: Aye Sir, ready to engage new heading on your order sir.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Opens a comm to Cestus III, informing them of the change in course, and the Dublin no longer stopping at Cestus III.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CMO: I'll check his personnel files then and review his history. If you could please keep him here under observation under restraint. I will determine a diagnosis and consult with Starfleet Medical on possible transfer to a treatment facility.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Yes, Not much detail yet, but were getting an escort from an Akira toward the Romulan border

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::walks over to the Cadet and places a hand on her shoulder, patting it gently, then leans down to whisper::  OPS:  It's good news, don't worry...Quon and I will just need a little help from you later, is all.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
FCO: Engage Lieutenant.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CO: Aye Sir. Maintaining constant scanning.  ::Does just that.::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
CNS: Very well, but please, he needs help soon.

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
::engages new route::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::suddenly almost loses her composure, catching her breath, then swallows::  CO:  I see...  ::her pulse starts racing, remembering Rhianna and her own past 'incident'::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CMO: The sooner we arrive in Federation space, the better the chance the yeoman can receive the help he needs. Please inform me when he regains consciousness. ::exits sickbay::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Waits for no one to be looking, then wipes her face to hide the tear, taking a deep swallow.::  XO:  I thought I was being reassigned.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: places the restraints on the yeoman personally :: Self: Poor man. :: rubs his arm gently ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns back to the Cadet::  OPS:  I would not let them do that.  You're needed here.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Hands out PADD with orders for the duty shift for the latest upgrades::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  I appreciate that, Commander.  I really do.  I don't want to leave Dublin.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: looks around and sees that Quon is gone :: Laris : He left in a hurry.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Hopes the assignment won't be too much on top of their previous experience as she preps.::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CTO: Pull up anything  SF has on Romulan activity of late

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
CO: ETA to the rendezvous with the Kukri is 6 days sir.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
<Laris> CMO: Yes, doctor.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "that doesn't sound good.":: CO: Aye Sir. ::Pulls files on Romulan activity recently.::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Commander. We can have shore leave onboard.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
~~~XO: Tessa...it appears the stress on this ship has grown more tense than I realized...~~~

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: shrugs :: Schmuck: We'll get you help soon. Rest easy.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
FCO: Good job LT. ::Smiles and sits down.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain, I should probably talk to you soon.  ::remembers the better news::  Quon and I wanted to speak to you, actually.  Whenever you have a free moment.
