=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10710.07 – “Do Starship Computers dream of Electric sheep?” Part I =/\=

The USS Elara is docked at Starbase 123 after returning from their ordeals at Nova Pax. Repairs are well underway and the Nebula's pod is being removed to be replaced by a yet unknown model.

In the mean time, Commander Pazoski and Lieutenant Tar were asked to attend a meeting with a Bynar regarding an undisclosed project while the rest of the crew were requested to give a tour of the Elara to a group of engineers.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarmok: Doctor Sarmok, a pleasure to meet you.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::one of the padds on his belt beeps to remind him of his meeting, takes what reports the engineers have for him and hurries away:: *OPS*: Pazoski to Tar, I trust you are on the way to our meeting Lieutenant.

Dr Sulvok says:

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::just exits the TL:: *XO*: I'm almost at the docking port already, Sir. Shall I wait for you to get here?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: And to you too. Vulcans: I am JoBrel, the Chief Engineer on board the Elara. I believe you are interested in a tour?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Gets up and walks out to the bridge ::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
*OPS*: No, go ahead and locate the Doctor, I will join you shortly. ::breaks into a half run::

::in his quarters getting changed::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Just looks at the CEO:: CEO: Indeed... If you please..

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: This is Sulvok, my assistant; the rest of my team is detailed on the file you received. We wish to tour all the operations on your vessel

OPS Lt Tar says: 
*XO*: Aye. Tar out. ::taps badge and approaches the docking port::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Vulcans: And which parts were you interested in seeing particularly?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Seeing Ensign Boktor - approaches him ::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Looking at the Captain and nodding.::

Admiral Swan says: 
@::arrives near the two bynars:: CIV: Hello Drs

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@::Clears his throat:: 1010: Perhaps we should-- ::Looks up:: *XO*: And Dr. 0101... ::Nods at 1010's direction::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::sits in a chair with a PADD detailing the Avatar's current access levels and her behaviour patterns::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@::Spins around in his place:: Admiral: Admiral. ::Bows in respect:: A.. 

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@Admiral:: Pleasure to meet you.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::nods to OPS as he leaves::

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: Engineering of course, and tactical because that is your main logical objective. And we are particularly fascinated by the personality your computer has developed. We wish to try to replicate it

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::arrives at SB123 and spots the Admiral and two Bynars::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Looking weird out of the eyes. Thinking.:: CO: Huh, uhm, did I miss something sir?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: JoBrel, has gone to meet the Vulcan engineers - I want you to be their security escort

Admiral Swan says: 
@CIV: Ah here they are

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: Go ahead Jo.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarnok: Replicate it? ::chuckles:: Self: Yeah... right... *CTO*: Where's that security detail I was promised?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::walks over to them:: Swan: Admiral. 1010/0101: Gentlemen.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Already sprinted to the TL.:: CO: Yes sir, I am gone already.

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Raises an eyebrow at the engineer's response:: CEO: You seem sceptical.. Do you not believe it possible?

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: Yes, it may be useful for some species to interface with their computers. Dr Sulvok here is a specialist on artificial intelligence

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: mutters something then turns away ::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: They should be there by now... if not contact them and tell them I said to get their backsides in gear.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::ignores the comm from the Doctors and makes a mental note that they may be impatient and arrives promptly at the docking hatch, passes a group of Vulcans and approaches Admiral Swans party::

Admiral Swan says: 
@XO/OPS/CIV: Welcome back to Starbase 123. Follow me ::turns around in his merry old self, then looks back:: OPS/XO: Oh I forgot introductions. This is Dr 1010 and 0101. They are part of the Elara crew now

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@::Looks around, at the sound coming from behind them:: OPS: Ah. ::Moves to whisper something to 0101:: You are our welcoming envoy.. ::Turns to glance at 1010's direction, extending an hand towards the OPS's direction as well::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@OPS: Are you not? ::Extends his hand towards the OPS's direction::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Enters the TL.:: TL: Docking port.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: Righty-oh... *TO*: Boktor, get your butt down here, on the double!

Admiral Swan says: 
@::turns to the nearest lift, expecting others to follow::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::reads through the PADD and makes notes on another PADD::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::is a little confused at both hands, but first shakes the hand of 1010 and then of 0101:: 1010/0101: I'm the Elara's second officer and part of your welcoming committee.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::switches his brain into high gear and follows behind the admiral:: Dr 1010/0101: Commander Peter Pazoski, ships XO.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: Well, I am a bit biased on this one... What exactly are your theories on AI? Do you think it possible for an avatar to out-grow ::carefully words it:: it's programming?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Duty OPS: Ensign, I have some issues with some of the inaccuracies in this report, go over those figures again :: pushes the PADD into the hands of the officer ::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::TL opens up at the Docking port deck. And then TO sprints out off it to the CEO.:: CEO: The captain asked me to help you.::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::enters the TL with the Admiral:: Swan: Obviously I have missed the transfer papers sir.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@XO: Ah, you are also part of the welcoming envoy! ::Nods conspiracy at 0101's direction:: We-- ::Follows the rest of them::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@XO: Have heard a lot about your ordeals, Commander. ::Moves to follow the group::

Duty OPS says: 
CO: Sir? ::takes a look at the PADD and wonders what report it is::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::follows after the Admiral, XO and both Bynars::

Dr Sulvok says: 
CEO: The only limitations are our own... We can only try to improve on what we have, or design something new. I believe it is possible to design something of this complexity, yes...

Admiral Swan says: 
@::ignores the conversation, finding it healthy and emerges from the lift to an empty corridor, then walks through a door to an observation dome totally made of transparent material save for 1 of the walls::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@Admiral: Are we headed towards our module, Admiral?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::quietly out of the hearing range of the Vulcans:: TO: About damn time Boktor! These are important guests!

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@Admiral: Are we headed towards our module, Admiral?

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@Admiral: We are most eager to observe the installation progress.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: taps the PADD at the offending figures :: Duty OPS: As soon as you can ensign

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::gives the two CIV's a curt smile and nods towards the OPS:: OPS: This is Dalin Tar, our Operations Officer, if there is anything you need while onboard he will be all too happy to get it for you

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::raises an eyebrow and makes a few more notes::

Admiral Swan says: 
@::takes a sit above the stars and expects the others to do so. Outside the Starbase and the stars are visible:: All: we are perfectly in privacy here

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: Well, the Avatar on board has surprised me several times. ::gestures:: Let's begin our tour.

Duty OPS says: 
CO: Aye Sir, I'm right on it. ::checks the readings on the PADD with the data in the ship's computer::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@XO: You are most kind, Commander. ::Sits down next to 0101::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@XO: Most kind, indeed. ::Sits down beside the Admiral::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::nods and smiles::

Dr Sarmok says: 
::follows without the word, taking notes as they go along::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::sits down too::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Nods:: CEO: Surprise is but a deficiency in our expectations... Generally, it is a result of underestimation... ::Follows the CEO::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::reluctantly sits down:: CIV's: What exactly is special about this module then?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: walks off back to his ready room ::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: Well, it saves getting disappointed, doesn't it? ::walks towards engineering::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: Jo, it's Iain, are you free to speak?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Whispers to the CEO.:: CEO: I am sorry, had forgotten about. My excuses. Just tell me, what you want me to do.

Admiral Swan says: 
@XO/OPS: Before going into the module. Let me tell you about your mission. This mission is secret and is restricted to the four of you and Captain Timrok

Admiral Swan says: 
@XO/OPS: We decided to take Commander Pazoski's word and we are building a clone of Commander Mesme. As you know, this is not ethically approved and that is why it must remain a secret

Dr Sulvok says: 
CEO: If one's expectations were accurate, neither surprise nor disappointment would occur. ::Keeps walking with them::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
TO: Well, you're security...do what you guys do... and chip in with a funny comment every now and then.. ::grins:: Vulcans:: If you'll excuse me a second. ::smiles and walks to a place away from the group, where no one would hear him:: *CTO*: Iain? What's up?

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: How much of the engine and computer sections are according to specifications and how much is your doing?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::frowns but remains silent and listens::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@Admiral: A Clone, a fine specimen of pure science only flawed by the data used to breed it off.

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@1010: A most dire of situations indeed.  ::Nods sagely at 1010's direction::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Nodding towards the CEO. Nods toward the Guests.::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Raises an eyebrow as JoBrel steps away, eying the TO to evaluate his knowledge on the subject::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: The Cap'n's asked me to compile a security threat analysis on your friend the hologram... have you noticed anything in her behaviour that indicated free thinking on her part?

Admiral Swan says: 
@All: We have a good DNA sample from Mesme as pour Bynar Drs know. We will implement a fast growing protocol on this clone and never revive him so we do not have to deal with consciousness issues. His mind will be blank

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: He what now?! Without letting me know? Well... how's that for trust... Well yes I have noticed free thinking so to speak and none of it negative. Why?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::The TO is smiling.:: DR Sulvok: How do you do?

Dr Sarmok says: 
::eyes the CEO working on other things with arrogance...how dare he?::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Raises his eyebrow even higher, not answering the question::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@::Shares a knowing look with 0101::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: now returned to his previous seat in the ready room - picks up the next PADD for his approval ::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Looks over to Sarmok, exchanging a significant look::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: Well free thinking suggests sentience, and if she's truly sentient then I'll need to ask her a few questions.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
Self: Well, keep on smiling, but this one is soooo.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Swan: This fast growing protocol isn't going to affect the clones lifespan is it?

Duty OPS says: 
::finds some inaccuracies and corrects them::

Dr Sulvok says: 
TO: How do I do what... ::Looks at the collar:: Ensign?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::The TO notices the raising of the eyebrow, but did do like he did not see it.::

Admiral Swan says: 
@XO: He will have to take some telomerase enhancers but other than that, he should be normal. Except for his brain. We are hoping you will fix that when the time comes

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: Well feel free. Look, I have six mean looking Vulcans here with the patience of a 1 week old hungry targ. Just do me a favour Iain, I think Timrok is just looking for an excuse to shut Elara off. Please don't give him one.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@Admiral, XO: Rest your minds--

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@Admiral, XO: At ease.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
DR Sulvok: Is was just being friendly. And I always ask how someone is doing. If he is feeling well, or about the weather etc, etc.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: I'll do my best, I'll let you get back to your Vulcans, one more question though... how do I contact Elara?

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Nods, understanding:: TO: Ah.. In that case.. I do just fine.. Though we would appreciate if we could go to engineering now... After all, we did not come here to admire the dull scenery of a Starfleet vessel's corridors..

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: Just... call her! ::walks back to the Vulcans:: Vulcans: Sincere apologies, these things happen when one is on duty. It was regarding the Avatar as it happens. Let's continue. ::whispers:: TO: A bottle of Brandy if you make one of them smile.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::turns to the doctors:: CIV's: Excuse me Doctors but we are gambling with the life of a federation officer, I want to know exactly what could go wrong if we risk bringing him back.

Admiral Swan says: 
@XO/OPS/CIV: I will leave you all to work out the details. The clone will be grown on your new pod and no one but you 4 can go inside. Meanwhile I expect Drs 1010 and 0101 to be treated like another member of your crew

TO Ens Boktor says: 
DR Sulvok: But if you do not like those questions, I will leave them behind of course. We can still look at each other.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::nods:: Adm: I already have arranged quarters for Drs 1010 and 0101.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
:: A little jokes came up about weather.:: DR Sulvok: But what do you think of the weather lately?

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Gives the TO a quick nod, then turns to the CEO again:: CEO: I hope they do not happen regularly. We do not, as you say it, have all day..

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@XO: We're considered experts at our-- ::Nods at 0101's direction:: Clone to server it's purpose in the safest,

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@XO: Line of work, Commander.. Rest assured we'll do our best for this-- ::Continues:: and the most efficient, while considering all the risks involved.

Admiral Swan says: 
@OPS: Good, efficiency. All: If you need me, I will be in my temporary office

@ACTION: The admiral leaves the four crew to discuss the details in the emptiness of space

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::heads the team to Engineering:: Sarmok: To answer your earlier question, we try to stick to the book here... it's more logical that way, but there are some tweaks we have made. Minor ones, you can view them all shortly if you wish.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Peers suspiciously at yet more data, muttering disapprovingly to his ship as he does so ::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
Self: Sigh.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*Elara*: Please meet me in my office in ten minutes.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: No, neither do I, Doctor ::reminding him that he was put out of his schedule to show them around::

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: Those are exactly the ones we wish to inspect. Everything else is in the specs. And of course the computer's persona

Elara says: 
::with the computer voice::*CTO*: Do I have JoBrel's Permission to activate the mobile transmitter?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarmok: Well that I haven't changed. All changes regarding personality were evolved by Elara herself. ::gets to ME and opens the doors::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Walks behind the CEO and DR Sulvok. Looking at his uniform, straiten every fold in it.::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@::Remains silent, waiting for the Elara officers to say something::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::gets his uniform back on having changed into civvies to help him concentrate, turns off the music and walks out of his quarters headed for his office:: *Elara*: JoBrel is unavailable at the moment, I will authorise the use of the emitter and explain to him later.

Elara says: 
::materializes in a table in main engineering, gladly away from the vulcans and makes her way to the CTO's office::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::walks into ME and gestures again:: Vulcans: Please, have a seat. ::smothers a grin::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::drags himself to his feet:: CIV's: How long until the clone reaches full maturity?

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Follows JoBrel into engineering and looks around::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::sees Elara walking past:: Elara: All okay?

Dr Sarmok says: 
::follows silently:: CEO: What about tactical? Are those systems altered?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarmok: In what way?

Elara says: 
::turns to the CEO, as usual dressed in her Orion slave girl attire:: CEO: Yes, Lt Sollo has activated me and wishes a meeting

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Walks into engineering and is observing the doctor very closely, but not in a way anybody would notice.::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Elara: Yes, he wants to ask some questions. His orders of course. I trust him, so relax, you can too. ::squeezes her shoulder::

Elara says: 
CEO: I trust the crew of the Elara. That is what I was programmed to do. Is there anything else you wish to discuss before I go?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::makes some mental notes about the mission::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Elara: Oh, plenty but now is not the time. ::smiles:: See you later.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::arrives at his office and takes a seat placing the two PADDs on the desk::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@::Rises with the XO:: XO: We must proceed to the Elara's docking bay, Commander.. ::Turns at 0101's direction:: 0101: Do you know where we are supposed to be? ::Nods at 0101's direction::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@::Raises as well, watching 1010 with puzzlement:: 1010: Yes. ::Moves to leave:: XO: Two months, Commander.  Through we can leave him indefinitely in stasis, conditions willing.

Elara says: 
::nods and leaves for the lift::

Dr Sarmok says: 
::looks with disdain at the Orion::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::waits for the Vulcans to sit::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Raises an eyebrow at the Orian slave girl, connecting the appearance of the person to the words the CEO spoke:: CEO: Is this... ::Follows Elara with his eyes as it leaves the room::

Elara says: 
::does not need to speak to the computer as that would be speaking to herself. Once the lift reaches its destination she exits and heads for the CTO's door::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: That was Elara, yes. Now, you were asking about Tactical.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::raises and follows the group out::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Keeps looking at the doors for another moment, in contemplation, then turns back towards the group::

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: I would never expect you would choose such a ... female for your avatar. But we will get to that. We would like to learn about your tactical systems as well yes

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarmok: Well there is a perfectly...logical... explanation for that. Tactical...what do you want to know? I may not be able to answer all of the questions about that.

Dr Sarmok says: 
::finally takes the seat the CEO requested and a very unpleasant sound comes from his chair. It’s a whoopee cushion, but he is not aware of that yet::

Dr Sarmok says: 
::looks ashamed for a moment, then reaches for his chair and gets the cushion:: CEO: I believe this is yours

Elara says: 
::rings the CTO's office door::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Raises an eyebrow at the sound from Sarmok's chair, as he takes a seat himself::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Door: Come in!

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@CIV's: I want a detailed plan of everything you have done and are going to do with relation to this clone.  Admiral Swan may like surprises but I do not.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::keeps a straight face, will laugh when he plays back the recording to Iain later:: Self: One more to tick off the list... Sarmok: Ah yes... we were making some tests of the audio receptacles and low tones noises.  Unorthodox, but effective. ::smiles a HUGE polite smile::

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: You should be more organized. Now, what differences are there between your tactical systems and those of a standard nebula?

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@XO: Of--

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@XO: Course. ::Takes a left turn::

Dr Sulvok says: 
CEO: Unorthodox indeed.. Did you not consider a simple audio generator for that purpose? Gives more freedom as well...

Elara says: 
::enters the CTO's office:: CTO: How can I help you Lt?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Elara: Have a seat, I know you probably don't need one but it's easier for me this way.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@OPS: Lieutenant, we will need to come up with a cover story for what the Doctors are doing in the lab for 2 months.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarmok: Well... not much... anything from that would be up to Iain Sollo to answer, he's the Tactical officer. Sulvok: Ah yes, but this way seems to ...::thinks of a way a Vulcan would appreciate it::... shall we say, entertain the humans. You know how they can be ::smiles::

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: Then we must talk to him as well. As for the engines, you said you made minor modifications

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@XO: Well, computers are for the large part my department. As for Bynars are very good with computers we could say they are checking how the computer is holding up during active mission.

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Lowers his still raised eyebrow a bit, nodding slowly:: CEO: Surely, any hardware modifications to such systems are carried out by your department..?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: makes a few notes of his own on the PADD then sets it down on the table and walks over to the replicator ::

Elara says: 
::sits and faces the CTO:: CTO: I understand it is more comfortable for you to speak when everyone is seated

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@XO: We actually have a cover story already, Commander. 

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@XO: We are to oversee the crew's adaption to the new science module.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarmok: Nothing drastic. A slightly more plasma flow efficiency, milliseconds faster warp core eject procedure, should we have to do such a thing.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sarmok: What is it you are interested in doing, exactly?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Elara: I need to know a couple of things about your programming and what it allows you to do.

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: Can you provide us with details? We are interested in understanding how Starfleet innovates on original designs. Your avatar is the most complex of these changes but certainly not the only one

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: And yes, for the most part. Sometimes an engineer will simply assist a tactical officer.

Dr Sarmok says: 
CEO: What my colleague says is true. Do you not have a record of all tactical modifications made? Or perhaps this young officer in yellow ::looks at the TO::

Elara says: 
CTO: I will answer any question you have and you can also access that information from the engineer reports when I first arrived in the 24th century

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Replicator: Water.. cold

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Notices that Sarmok is looking in his direction. Raises eyebrow and looks towards the CEO.::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Elara: Oh, I've been looking through those already... I understand you have had some conversations with Lieutenant JoBrel, which resulted in you getting a little emotional, what allowances does your programming make for emotions?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
Self: I can play that I to dumb for that. That I did not hear that.

Elara says: 
CTO: It is difficult for me to analyze the results of those routines. They are related to my personality. They only happened with JoBrel, no one else

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::worries about how much info they are trying to get and worries about them trying to find out about the fact she is 31st century technology:: Sarmok: I don't really know how to explain how Elara came about. ::whispers:: TO: Put your eyebrow down, there's enough Vulcans in here already!

@ACTION: From a viewport, the XO's group can see the Elara's new pod ready to be installed. All it needs is a word of approval from the command staff

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CEO: ::whispers and nods:: Yes. ::Eyebrows came down, and the TO started to whistle and look a different way.::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: takes a sip from his water and returns to the reports ::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Elara: Can you describe your working relationship with Lieutenant JoBrel?

Dr Sulvok says: 
CEO: That is... Unfortunate.. It would help a great deal in understanding and improving the protocols for it...

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@XO: Sir. ::looks though the window::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Sulvok: That is unfortunate, but I'm afraid I can only give out so much information regarding that,

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@OPS: Magnificent.

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@OPS: Isn't she? ::Gestures at the module direction::

Elara says: 
CTO: He is the chief engineer, he makes my ... wheels turn. I think that is a good analogy

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::notes the pod:: OPS: Please accompany the Doctors to the Docking bay and make sure they have everything they need, I have a pile of paperwork and hopefully some transfer documents to get through ::gives the doctors a nod:: CIV's: We will have to get together to discuss everything sometime in the near future.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Notices in to what direction the talks of the CEO and the doctor are going to. But keeps the attitude as if his nose bled.::

Dr Sulvok says: 
::Detects a hint of defiance in the CEO's choice of words and looks over to Sarmok::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@CIVs: She most certainly is. ::turns to the XO:: XO: Yes sir. I'll take them to their quarters so they can settle.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::distracted by all the peculiar faces the TO is pulling:: TO: You need to use the toilet?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::swallows and tries not to laugh as that could be taken entirely the wrong way:: Elara: I think I understand your meaning... have you interacted directly with many of the other crewmen on this ship since you came aboard?

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@XO: We prefer to go with the OPS, Commander.

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@XO: We wish to observe the installation process.

Elara says: 
CTO: This is the first time I am activated without JoBrel present

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@CIVs: That's fine. We'll go to the Elara then.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CEO: Yes, for a second. I'll be right back. :: The TO walks away to the refreshment area, had a good laugh, walked back and showed a newly ironed face.::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::waves his hand vaguely at the Doctors:: CIV's: Whatever you prefer ::gives everyone a nod and walks off in the opposite direction::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@CIVs: If you follow me. ::heads off to the Elara::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
@OPS: After you, Lieutenant.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
@::Follows the OPS::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::nods and takes notes:: Elara: And have you ever interfaced directly with any part of the ship's computer that you were not previously cleared to access?

Elara says: 
CTO: I have access to everything the computer has access to. I am the computer

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::nods again:: Elara: Thank you, I will go over the information that you have given me and compile my report. I'll let you get back to what you were doing before I called you.

ACTION: With that, the Elara turns to leave. One might suspect she is slightly annoyed
