@::in sickbay, standing watch over Nat as he has been for what seems like hours::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::reviews the reports on the modifications, this will take a while to "uninstall"::

FCO_Felhaber says:
OPS: Sir, we should be arriving at the system momentarily.  We are maintaining our flanking distance from the Europa for defensive purposes.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::standing on the Europa's bridge, near the Tactical station::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::glances at the readings on the Tac-I console:: TO: How is everything?

Dr_Essex says:
@:: body starts to tense up.. nothing noticeable to the eye though::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: Long-range sensors detect no stations or facilities or anything in the system.

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: Thank you. ::Looks up at the SFI::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Sees the information M'Tor flagged.:: TO: Thank you for your help Ens. M'Tor.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods to the CSO :: CSO: My pleasure Lt.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:

OPS_Taylor says:
*XO*: XO To the Bridge. 

CTO_Nimitz says:
::enters the bridge:: TO: Good Morning, Ens. Report, please

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: Captain, sensors are clear. What exactly was Mr. Taylor expecting us to find here?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods to Mr Taylor :: Taylor: Sir ... it would help us if we had more information on this system... What can we expect Sir ?

FCO_Felhaber says:
::makes a few flight corrections to maintain their distance from the Europa::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Gets up:: TO: Full scan.

TO_Astley says:
CTO:  Everything is running up to specs Sir  :;gets tensed up::

Dr_Essex says:
@~~~XO: why did you leave me to die?~~~

Host CO_Senn says:
@::eyes Michael Taylor while she keeps reading the reports:: CSO: Perhaps Mr. Taylor could be more specific, but I understand we're trying to find a Federation military facility.

TO_Astley says:
OPS:  Running scan

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::looks down at Nat, waiting for any response from her::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
~~~~essex: what?  I have done no such thing.  Where are you?~~~~

Dr_Essex says:
@::frowns in her sleep and starts to shake::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
*OPS*: What is it Mr. Taylor?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@M'Tor: It's been over a year since I've been here.. In orbit of the third planet is a Federation starbase... cloaked.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Looks up from her station...didn't even realize Taylor was on the bridge...engrossed in her work and all that.:: CO: Aye sir. Sorry.

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: Good Morning, Lt. Could I talk to you, in private?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::raises her eyes and smiles:: CSO: No need to be sorry, Lieutenant.

OPS_Taylor says:
*XO*: XO, We are entering the system that Michael has set for us.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::moves closer to Nat and puts his hand on her shoulder:: ~~~Nat: Nat... Natalia, dear... can you hear me?~~~

TO_M`Tor says:
:: stares at Mr Taylor :: Taylor: Cloaked ? ... Yes Sir ...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::reb:: CTO: Of course, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
*OPS*: I'll join you in a moment.

OPS_Taylor says:
*XO*: Aye.

TO_M`Tor says:
@:: begins a detailed scan of planet #3 ::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: Foley:  What is the status of Natalia?

CSO_Rya says:
@::Smiles back at the Captain.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: Let's go there. ::moves to a corner of a bridge, far from unwanted ears::

Dr_Essex says:
@:: eyes pop open at his touch and screams with all her might.. limbs fly around.. trying to get away from who ever touched her and still yelling:: No! I won't go with you! Triton! Where is it! ::falls off the bio-bed and claws the floor to get away::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@M'Tor: When we arrive in orbit of the planet, I'll send out a specific coded symbol, and when they verify the code, they should decloak. If they're still around..  You're not picking up any signs of debris?

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: Contact the Europa.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ Taylor: I am scanning Sir...

CSO_Rya says:
@::Mentally shakes herself...Lately her brian seems to be a step behind her.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::follows Luk and stops in front of him, lowering his voice:: CTO: What seems to be the problem?

FCO_Felhaber says:
::continues to man the helm and maintain speed and distance from Europa::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::gets pushed back by Nat's outburst:: COMM: XO: She's awake.. stand by ::closes channel and moves over to Nat, speaking softly:: Natalia... it's me, David... it's okay

Host CO_Senn says:
@::turns to see Taylor:: Michael: I won't ask about those cloaking devices...

TO_Astley says:
OPS:   The CTO is busy so I will contact the Europa   ::opens a channel to the Europa::  Channel open Sir.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ Taylor: I am detecting no debris ... CO: Captain may Mr Taylor send his coded symbol to the planet ?

Dr_Essex says:
@:; makes it to the corner of the room shaking hard.. curls up in a ball against the wall and mumbles:: it's dark.. it's dark.. make it go away.. 

CTO_Nimitz says:
::luckily the corner is near a secondary TAC console, with a quick move goes there and contacts the Europa:: SFI: I'm afraid this will have to wait, I have work to do, but I need to talk to you.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::enters the bridge and heads for his chair::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
Bridge:  All hands report.

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: Europa: What are we looking for captain?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::looks at the TO::  TO: Let the Hudson know before doing it. I want everyone ready just in case.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
:nods:: CTO: I'm at your disposal, Lieutenant. ::steps a bit away and watches the viewscreen::

CTO_Nimitz says:
:: opens a channel to the main viewscreen::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::walks over to Nat slowly:: Nat: What is it dear, what's wrong?

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: I am contacting the Europa to see what we are looking for.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::smiles at the Captain's statement.. knows she would love to have phased-cloak technology on both ships in this unknown place::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::smiles back sweetly::

Dr_Essex says:
@:: stays in a ball and whimpers::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CO: Aye Captain ...  :: sends a scramble COM to the Hudson :: COM: We are preparing to send a message to the third planet.. it seems there's a cloaked base ther .. Be prepared.... Europa out.

Dr_Essex says:
@ ~~~XO: where are you? it's too dark..~~~

CTO_Nimitz says:
OPS: Sir, may I go to my office for a moment?

FCO_Felhaber says:
::hears the COM and lays in a few evasive manuevers on standby::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Keeps a close eye on the sensors as they prepare to send out the signal.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the XO: XO:XO?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
~~~~Essex: I'm on the Hudson's bridge Natalia.  I s David there with you?~~~~

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::watches *everything* on the bridge, but stays out of the way, content to observe for now::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Yes?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods to the Captain :: CO: Ready Captain ... :: whispers :: I hope

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::Kneels down in front of Nat:: Natalia... please, it's okay.... everything is okay...

Dr_Essex says:
@:: holds her head at the voice and pushes her body tighter to the wall::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::notes the SFI agent in the corner::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::steps forward:: Senn: Whenever you are ready Captain. I'll wait for your command.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods back at the TO:: Michael: Go ahead.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: CTO? have permission to leave?

TO_M`Tor says:
:: looks over Taylor's shoulder while the computer records the code ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::frowns slighly and tries a mild touch to Nat's mind::

Dr_Essex says:
@:: notices someone there and looks up.. the room almost too bright for her to see anything:: CMO: too bright..

Dr_Essex says:
@CMO: I can't see.. 

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::quietly walks over to one of the Hudson's science consoles, looking over the incoming readings::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::blank stare:: OPS: Where is the CTO going?

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: It'll be only a minute sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@ Nat: Okay, Nat, I'll turn down the lights. ::looks behind him slightly:: Comp: Computer, reduce ambient lighting by 50% ::the computer responds and the lights dim as he looks back to Nat:: Is that better?

FCO_Felhaber says:
OPS: Sir, the Europa is approaching the third planet in the system.  We are maintaining our distance of 5,000 km from their starboard flank.

TO_Astley says:
::wonders where her superior officer is going::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Normally I would prefer that you ask the first officer on duty.  But since you insist.  Where are you headed?

Dr_Essex says:
@:: looks up.. her eyes able to focus in the room.. just stares at David for a long time::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::taps a few commands into the Tactical console, and transmits.. the signal is a highly-efficient burst transmission, almost appearing as sub-space static::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::looks at the science area::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::stares back at Natalia, trying not to look too concerned and trying on a light smile at her::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO: Shields up. Weapons at the ready.

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: I need to have a word with Lt. West, in private.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Continues to closely monitor the senors.::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Permission granted. Use my ready room I need you nearby.

CNS_T`Salea_ says:
::Steps from the TL onto the bridge::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: I already have evasive manuevers laid in, sir.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sits in the Not-so-big Chair:: XO: I suggest we goto Yellow alert.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  Aye  ::get weapons ready::  Ready

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Very good.  Remember our mission is to defend the Europa.

Dr_Essex says:
@::grabs David's shirt and pushes into his chest.. hanging on for dear life::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Do so.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: retreives the signal that Taylor sent to his console and begins an analysis while he keeps an eye one the TAC scanners ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.  We are holding our position 5,000km from their starboard flank, sir.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: After several minutes, a huge starbase (think Taj Mahal class-size) decloaks... the Europa and Hudson detect dozens of weapons systems locking onto them.

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Thank you sir. ::glances at Lt.<Cmdr?> West and walks to the RR::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::looks at the viewscreen:: Self: Uh-Oh.....
Taylor: I do hope that's the good guys.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Jaw drops at the size of the starbase.::

Dr_Essex says:
@::breaths hard:: CMO: where am I?

CNS_T`Salea_ says:
@::Steps over to the main chair, looking up at the screen::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::hesitates, giving Zaldy a curious look before following Luk::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: Give me an open channel Captain..

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Yellow alert.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::holds Natalia against him:: Nat: You're in Sickbay dear... you collapsed.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO: Red alert.

TO_M`Tor says:
@:: blinks :: Self : Incredible .. CO: Captain .. I did not detect this Starbase before ... the cloak was perfect.

TO_Astley says:
::goes to red alert::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Get on Science. confirm their friendly status.

Dr_Essex says:
@: lets go and looks around the room a moment:

FCO_Felhaber says:
::lays in an attack run against the decloaked station and waits for orders::

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: It's an advanced cloak I guess. Open a channel for Mr. Taylor.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: What are the odds that you can outmanuever their weapons?

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: They've locked onto us with weapons.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::waits till the door closes and starts talking:: SFI: Cmdr, I'll go directly to the point, Do you trust Mr Taylor, the son I mean?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Runs over to SCI I and Scans the structure::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, there are a LOT of weapons locked on to us.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::doesn't entirely let go of Nat:: Nat: Nat... dear... you've been out for some time.... there have been some... developments.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: We'll stay in yellow alert for a moment more....
TO: Just raise our shields.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: CO: Captain.  Let me know when you'd like to warp out.

TO_M`Tor says:
CO: They have a weapon's lock Captain.. Raising shields

Host CO_Senn says:
COMM: XO: You'll be the first to know.

Dr_Essex says:
@:: tries to focus her eyes on David:: CMO: tricorder.. need one.. 

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: Good. I guess.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@COMM: Starbase: This is Special Agent Michael Taylor, authentication Omega-Sierra-One-One-Three. Stand down, I repeat, stand down.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks back at the door as it closes, then returns to Luk:: CTO: The doctor confirmed that he is who he says he is, but as for his motives... I can't begin to guess.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Nods and forces herself to look away from the viewscreen and down to see what the sensors are detecting.::

TO_M`Tor says:
@:: stares at Taylor :: Self: Special Agent ?

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Sir, weapons are trained on us. Their shields are up.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::nods:: Nat: Okay ::lets go of her and quickly grabs a tricorder off of one of the med trays and returns to her, handing it over:: Here.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Is the Europa trasnmitting any signals?

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: He seems to be the kind of person who would use us as an instrument for whatever his plans are, without caring about us living or dying.

Dr_Essex says:
@::opens the tircorder and does a scan of her self.. looking at a few things specifically.. odd thing::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: The Europa just sent a signal to the station.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The weapon locks disengage, and an outer door opens, beckoning the ships.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks around the small readyroom and paces a bit:: CTO: Why do you say that?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::gazes questioningly at Taylor:: Taylor: That's an invite?

TO_M`Tor says:
@CO: Lower shields Captain before we enter ?

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: They're no longer targeting us Captain.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::looks down at Nat, happy to see her awake again but still worried:: Nat: What do you find, dear?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: See if you can catch and read that signal.  Put it through to my chair if you can.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  Should I stand down from Red Alert Sir?

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: Are we supposed to dock?
TO: I guess so.... we'll play it by ear.

Dr_Essex says:
@::closes the tricorder and sighs on the floor.. rubs her head and looks around::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO: Only if they have removed weopans lock.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Weapons are disengaged, an outer door is open. I have the signal. ::Patches the signal to the Command console::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: Yes.. they don't dare transmit an external signal to us, it could be intercepted. My authentication code has just been changed because I transmitted it on an open channel.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  Understood Sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, I do have multiple attack runs laid in, awaiting your command for execution.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods at Taylor::

Host CO_Senn says:
@COMM: Hudson: We're going to dock, Triton. Follow us in.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO: I guess Mr. Taylor has answered that question. Yellow alert please.

TO_M`Tor says:
@:: shakes head :: CO: Aye Captain .. Self: Come into my lair said the Targ to the GlobFly...

Host CO_Senn says:
@FCO: Take us in.

Dr_Essex says:
@:: stands up.. legs a bit weak::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::looks down at Natalia and rubs his hand down her face gently:: Nat: How are you feeling?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Mercifully that is not going to be necessary.

TO_Astley says:
::goes to yellow alert::  XO:  Yellow Alert  Sir

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: I don't know. The whole thing is too ... odd. Too much of a coincidence. We found his planet, he has the device we need, I don't know. Just in case, he should be kept under strong vigilance, but you know what kind of vigilance I'm talking about. The question is: Do you prefer your men or mine doing the job?

CSO_Rya says:
@::Uneasily continues to monitor the sensors.::

Dr_Essex says:
@CMO: hungry.. ::grins weakly::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: You heard the captain.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: lowers shields ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::reluctantly nods:: XO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::lays in a course towards the station:: XO: Following the Europa in, thrusters at half, sir.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Heads back to the Not-so-Big Chair and Sits::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Full scans as we head in. I want to know everything about this base.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::sees the station loom before him on his navigational sensors and shifts uneasily in his chair::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::smiles back at her:: Nat: That's good... let's get you something to eat, but take it easy at first... your body needs to get used to food again ::puts his arm around her to help her up from the floor::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::stands in front of the window, oblivous to the massive machinery around:: CTO: You do realize that what you're suggesting would be contravening Captain Senn's orders, yes? Unless she orders you to keep an eye on him, you can do no such thing. At least, not officially.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Punches a few buttons on the console:: XO: Aye.

Dr_Essex says:
@:: leans on David and looks around the room.. still not sure where she is::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CO: Captain ... are both ships going to enter the Station ?  I'd like to recommend not to do so.

CSO_Rya says:
@:: Briefly focuses her attention on Mr. Taylor and then, returns her attention to the sensor scans.::

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: One ship that stays out of the station's cloak will mean that it will stay defenseless, Ensign.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CO: Understood Captain.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::keeps her steady and holds her close as they make it to their feet:: Nat: We'll go to my office, you can sit down there.

Dr_Essex says:
@:: looks at David.. still not sure it's him:: CMO: how long has it been..

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: There are several hundred decks in the starbase, other than that, the base is designed to be stealthy. Sensor-resistant hulls, etc..

CTO_Nimitz says:
::frowns:: SFI: I don't remember that order. What did she say?

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::looks back over at Nat, softly:: Nat: It's been... a while dear... maybe you should wait until you have some food in you...

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: begins a discreet scan of the base.. knowing full well that the dept of Temporal Investigations will have them deleted later ::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The two ships fully enter the base, and the phase-cloak is re-engaged.

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, should we request docking clearance....?  ::uncertain::

Dr_Essex says:
@::looks around the room.. feeling thousands of minds sudden all around them.. panics and tries to fight David away::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Can't help but admire their technology...and wish the Europa was blessed with the same.:: CO: Captain, other than telling you the obvious, that the station's huge, I can't detect anything else on the sensors.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::impressed::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: That would be the polite thing to do I guess.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::stands up and approaches Alara:: CSO: Can you at least confirm that this is federation technology..... of some sort?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CTO: It would have been implied. ::approaches him:: There are no provisions for this in the manual, and no way to do it without arousing suspicion by having your people follow it up. For now, we'll just have to watch without watching, understand?

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: I'll try sir. ::Gets to work.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.  Requesting docking clearance now.  ::opens a frequency to the station to request clearance::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Anything interesting?

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: Thank you. ::turns and walks towards Taylor::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::holds her, feeling the source of her panic:: Nat: Nat, Nat it's okay... ::reaches to her mind and forms a telepathic "blanket" like he did before, to block the voices of the ship's crew::

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: It matches the energy signatures we found on the planet. To the best of my knowledge, it is Federation.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Taylor: What do we do now?

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: Come on, give me more credit. You thought I was speaking of following him?? Physically? What are internal sensors for?

Dr_Essex says:
@::panics worse and goes limp in his arms.. in shear terror::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO: Do not stand down from weapon readyness, until my order.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  Understood sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: Well that is something. I guess.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: This base is very stealthy, a lot of decks and Sensor Absorbant Materials...

CSO_Rya says:
@::Gives Captain Senn a halfhearted smile and reminds herself that something is better than nothing.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Try narrowing the scan perhaps a tight sweep will work better.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles:: CTO: You underestimate yourself, Lieutenant. But those internal sensors keep records. Records that are submitted to the First Officer on ship's activites and further reported the Captain. If you step up surveillance, in that way, you will be found out, and Captain Senn does not seem the type to like things going on behind her back.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::returns Alara's smile. All she wants is have this over with and go back home::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: We dock.
::inputs more commands into the console, and a confirmation is sent:: Senn: We can now dock.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::keeps her from falling and holds her:: Self: No... ::sighs and carries Nat into his office where he sits her down in his chair. He then goes and retreives a programable hypo from the storage and comes back to her. He taps the hypo and injects her with a mild dose of the telepathic inhibiting drugs:: Nat: I hate to do this, Nat...

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods:: FCO: Let's dock then.

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: Inform the Hudson so they can dock as well.

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, I am still awaiting a response from the station.

TO_Astley says:
::has a strange feeling, something is not right about this::

Dr_Essex says:
@::is awake but won't move.. body still shaking in fear::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: Several tractor beams lock onto the ships, and lead them to their own docking collars. The two ships detect several other ships inside the base... one Sovereign-class, heavily modified, and a few unknown classes.

CSO_Rya says:
@ Ens. Ling: <w> Narrow the scans down and boost them as best you can.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO/FCO/OPS: I'd like you all to do me a favor.  Run some sims on what would happen if we created a warp bubble in here.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CO: Aye Captain .:: informs the Hudson ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::tries to hold Nat still:: Nat: Natalia, it's David... you're safe, nothing's going to hurt you, please believe me dear...

Host CO_Senn says:
@::the view on the viewscreen is impressed, still thinking they shouldn't be there::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir!  Navigational sensors are detecting that we're moving forward!  Thrusters are not engaged, sir.

Dr_Essex says:
@::eyes focus on David and just stare at him::

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: Don't worry. I know what can I do, and what I can't. Those things that can be tracked are avoided. More passive surveillance can be equally effective. If you discover something, call me at the moment. No matter what the time is. Thank you for your time and your advice, sir. ::heads to the door::

FCO_Felhaber says:
FCO: Sir, creating a warp bubble may not cause very much damage to us, but it would depend on the structural integrity of the surrounding station bulkheads.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::looks at her, trying to convey how safe she is:: Nat: It's me... you're safe... you're safe dear.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Describes the ships sensors picked up to the captain and bridge crew at large.::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO:  The Europa has informed us that we will be docked by the station systems.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The two ships reach the docking collars, and a secure lock is established.

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: It looks like we are being guided to a docking clamp, sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::stands alone in the readyroom, mulling over the state they're in far away and far beyond any help from the world they know::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::smiles meekly at having almost laid an egg about the station tractors::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::listens to Alara's explanation with attention to detail::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO/OPS: Do not open us up. I want the ship's environmental systems isolated from the station.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Shifts uncomfortably as the ship is locked into place.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, we are docked.

Dr_Essex says:
@::moves a little and looks around the room::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: CO: I reccomend against mixing your atmosphere with the station until medical clears us.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  Understood Sir.

Dr_Essex says:
@CMO: i'm.. home?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks out the window before exiting to the bridge, hoping Shard has the Blackbox recording all of this::

Host CO_Senn says:
COMM: XO: Right. Also, we're not to link to their power grids... at least for the time being. I want total autonomy.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The "colonists" from the planet refuse to go to Sickbay to be tested, and Counselor Tsalea is called down to help.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::watches her:: Nat: Of course dear... you never left. It's safe here, as it always was.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks at the Captain and Mr Taylor for their next move ::

Dr_Essex says:
@::relaxes a bit and glances around the room::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: CO: Understood.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS/TO: You heard the captain.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Stares out at the view on the screen and is once again reminded of just how far from home they are.::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::standing next to Michael, knowing she can't just go and do "first contact" with her grandchildren::

TO_Astley says:
XO:  Acknowledged

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::walks across the bridge to stand next to the command area, glancing at Zaldy::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::just watches her for now:: Nat: You see... everything is normal... there's nothing to be afraid of, I'm right here... as I have aways been

FCO_Felhaber says:
::sits at the helm, running minor diagnostics as part of routine helm procedures::

TO_M`Tor says:
CO: Captain.. permission to initiate security lockouts on all stations ?

Dr_Essex says:
@CMO: hmm? yeah... always.. can I eat?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS:  I'd like you to take the information we've gotten from our sensors and start putting together a schematic of the base.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The Europa and Hudson detect a strong scanning beam looking over every part of both ships.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::returns to TAC and watches the mainscreen, the view shocks him:: Self: wow. TO: where are we? The federation starbase?

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: Go ahead. Have security guard the airlocks as well.

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: We're being scanned!

TO_Astley says:
CTO:  It appears to be a Starbase but we are to remain totally own our own power.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Console Erupts:: XO: We are being scanned!

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::starts reandomly fluctuating the power througout the ship systems, not enought ot cause serious disruption, but enough to mislead the scans::

Dr_Essex says:
@::looks around the room and the lights dim a bit from the scan going through the ship::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: They are scanning us, sir. In detail.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CO: Aye Captain .. :: sends a message to Beta Team's Ensign Trok to handle security at airlocks ::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Noted. I'm trying some countermeasures.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: initiates security lockouts on all stations ::

TO_Astley says:
CTO:  And i still have Weapons on in case we need to use them in a hurry

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO:  I am sure they have lots to scan. They have to figure out who we are.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::shakes his head:: XO: I wouldn't suggest that, Commander.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Start modifying shield harmonics try to block

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
SFI: Help me or be quiet.  Pick one.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. 

CSO_Rya says:
@ CO: Aye sir. It'd be nice if we had even half the luck scanning them as they are scanning us though. ::realizes she said it out loud and promptly shuts her mouth.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::varying randomly shield freqs::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
XO: I am helping. You're clearly outgunned. It would be unwise to antagonize them. Not to mention a bad idea.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: They are just scanning for enemy lifesigns. I do hope you don't have any 'Lings or Jem'Hadar hiding onboard..

FCO_Felhaber says:
::joins in the random fun::  XO: Sir, I am fluctuating power-up signatures of the main thrusters and impulse engines.

CTO_Nimitz says:
TO: Be careful, I don't want to be shot by mistake

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
SFI: I think it more unwise to turn over and show them our stomach.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::paces the bridge:: Taylor: I'd rather a friendly comm, honestly.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  I'm always careful Sir ::smiles::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
SFI: They have shown us no sign of friendship. I won't assume any.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
XO: Look at where we are, Commander. We are *in* Moby Dick. It's too late to be smart and hide now.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The scanning beam disengages, and the ship receives a comm signal coded to Captain Senn's vocal code only.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Very good.  ::glad to see he picked up on that tactic::

CTO_Nimitz says:
*Security*: I want a team at the airlock on the double.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Taylor: And as far as we know, we aren't transporting any.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CO: Captain: Personal message for you eyes only coming in...

Dr_Essex says:
@::realizes her mind is closed agan.. it doesn't bother her.. she looks around the office::

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: I will take it.... in my RR. ::motions for Taylor to follow her:: CSO: You have the bridge.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::smiles:: SFI: I'm surprised at you Mr. West.  It is *never* too late.

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::enters her RR and activates the console:: COMM: Whoever: This is Captain Senn Nayla of the Federation starship USS Europa.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  I still have weapons on full in case we need to use them Sir

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::returns the smile:: XO: If you'd done my job for the last fifteen years, you'd realize how often you'd be wrong. ::looks back at the screen::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Looks around the bridge in surprise and thinks I have the bridge?!? Wow.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks up for a reaction from the XO::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
SFI: That attitude is the reason you don't have my job.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::gets up and walks over to, but not too close to, Nat:: Nat: What do you remember, dear?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
$COMM: Senn: <unfamiliar voice> Input authorization code Captain. We have to authenticate.

Dr_Essex says:
@CMO: can I eat now?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO/FCO: Keep up our camoflage.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
TO: Keep them hot.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::chuckles:: XO: I never wanted to be a fleeter. So, no loss. ::watches the comm board::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::reluctantly:: COMM: Whoever: Senn beta two foxtrot

CSO_Rya says:
@::Moves over towards the center chairs, but can't bring herself to sit, so she paces and stops to look check back with Ling and M'Tor from time to time.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.  I hope this won't blow out any plasma manifolds.  I would hate to lose impulse or warp engines at a time when we might need them most.

TO_Astley says:
XO:  Just waiting for your orders to fire ::smiles::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: I'd like that schematic kept on a closed system, preferably a shielded PADD, your eyes or higher command code only.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Have Engineering monitor you.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::continues to fluctuate power-ups of the main thrusters and impulse engines::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::looks at Taylor:: Taylor: It's not gonna work. I probably changed it thousands of times in the past. My future.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. How about... ::motions the SFI::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::nods:: Nat: Of course you can... the replicator is working fine, just tell it what you want... but remember to take it easy... I suggest a soup

Host Michael_Taylor says:
<Longmuir> $COMM: Senn: Thank you Captain. This is Director Longmuir. Welcome to Aurora Prime.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The transmission is vocal only, no video.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::sends a message to engineering to monitor all systems required for navigational purposes::

Dr_Essex says:
@::looks aroudn the room as if he was talking in some weird language:: CMO: no.. i just want some food

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: I stand by my orders.  If his command access is higher then yours then he'll see it for himself.

Host CO_Senn says:
@COMM: Longmuir: We appreciate it, director... we have somebody here who would like to speak with you ::meaning Taylor and the colonists:: and we... we could use some assistance to fix this slight problem we have...

CSO_Rya says:
@::Walks over to Ens. M'Tor.:: TO: What do you think?

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::blinks:: Nat: Nat... let me get that tricorder... just wait here. ::quickly walks out to get the tricorder and return::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. ::Encrypts the Information::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: shakes head :: CSO: I think ... I think, I'm being paranoid... but I'd perfer to prepare a way to leave here in a hurry .. just in case Lieutenant.

Dr_Essex says:
@::watchs him leave and sighs.. stands up and starts looking around::

 CSO_Rya says:
@ ::Nods:: TO: I don't think you're being paranoid at all.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::returns quickly:: Nat: There... ::moves over to her::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::continues his power fluctuating... he is beginning to enjoy it::

Dr_Essex says:
@::keeps exploring the room::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CSO: Permission to start planning Lt. ?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO/FCO: Remember to avoid a pattern.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
<Longmuir> $COMM: Captain, I would prefer us to meet in person. As an Intel person, I don't trust subspace communications. And since you do not have hyper-subspace transceivers...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
XO: Are you going to contact Captain Senn for further orders?

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::reb and grins:: TO: You need my permission to start making contingency plans? ::Can't help the smile that spreads across her face.:: TO: By all means, plan away. Hopefully we won’t need it, but better to be safe...

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@Nat: Nat dear if you'll hold still... ::opens the tricorder and removes the diode, running it over her::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Understood, sir.  ::smiles and keeps flicking the "switch"::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
SFI: I'm waiting for her to contact me.  I'm sure that she can what we are doing.

Dr_Essex says:
@::backs away from it and runs her hands over the desk top looking for something::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CSO : Aye...

Host CO_Senn says:
@COMM: Longmuir: In that case, I suggest you come to visit us. It's not good for us to leave our ships... I will receive you in person in airlock 3.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
<Longmuir> $COMM: Senn: Very well Captain. I will meet you in one hour.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Sir, do you want SFI removed from the bridge, sir? ::Whispers to the XO::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
@::frowns:: Nat: Natalia... what are you looking for dear?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::nods:: XO: Have you noticed that she isn't doing what you are doing? I believe that she wants this to be diplomatic. Buf if you're not sure, contact your Captain. ::walks away to look at the Tac board again::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Moves away from the TO and sits down in 'the big chair.' -- after all who knows when she'll get to again.::

Dr_Essex says:
@CMO: the thing i put in the table..

Host CO_Senn says:
@COMM: Longmuir: Understood. Senn out. ::closes the comm::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: No, I'm not worried about him.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: scans the interior of the Starbase and wonders how much firepower will be necessary to make a nice big hole in the bulkhead ::

TO_Astley says:
::keeps weapons at full strength waiting for the perfect time to use them::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
SFI: Have you noticed that the Captain and I have different opinions about a lot of things?  She is the velvet glove I'm the iron fist.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
