CEO: Certainly.

XOLoren says:
::goes to help EO::

Pir_Green-Skin says:
@COM Yagh: Must be.

FCO: Good job.. ::feels useless::

CEO_Taylor says:
*CTO* Do you have enough power for tactical actions up there?

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks over to CTO and nods yes.. wants him to please say yes::

XOLoren says:
EO: Quite all right, Ensign.

CTO_Ultsim says:
*CEO* I can fire manually, and there’s some poor targeting.

CSO_Vortak says:
FCO:  Let's hook up our information, so that we are helping each other, instead of repeating our work.  ::attempts to link console information and maps::

EO_MacLeod says:
XO: I'm waiting for CEO response... I need him to turn it online from ME, so I can manage the power here...

CEO_Taylor says:
*CTO* I hope you like a good challenge! ::smiles::

FCO_Johnson says:
::transfers information to CSO's console.:: CSO:  AYE.

CTO_Ultsim says:
*CEO* I’d have to target manually, too, so if you can pour anything else into sensors, it would help.

CSO_Vortak says:
*CEO* It is a nebula of plasma eddies.  Pretty nastily by the look of it.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: Can you detect where the shots are coming from… fire Mr.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::attempts to target dense blotch on sensors::

Pez says:

ACTION: Cadet Fox sniffs some more, lifts his leg and marks his territory.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: I heard that.. stand down as ordered.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  It seems like they are protecting something in the nebula.

Pir_Yagh says:
%COM: Green-Skin: Understood.  Let's get back...

Pir_Green-Skin says:
@COM Yagh: We can come back with reinforcements and destroy them.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Xena finds Fox' actions curious.

TO_KTral says:
Pez: I can replicate some nail polish for you.

Pez says:
::chuckles at the sight of the fox::

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Don't worry, sir... ::with his maxitron, tries to re-align the crystals::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::stops firing::

Pez says:
TO: I am sure you use it frequently, but I don't polish my nails thank you.

TO_KTral says:
::Chuckles::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Loren we have run off the Orion's.. full reports from CEO as soon as possible.

XOLoren says:
CEO: I am going to astrometrics to see if I can discern if anything else is hiding in the nebula.  I believe you and Mr. MacLeod have engineering concerns well in hand.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  It seems like they are protecting something in the nebula.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Xena acts too refined to follow Fox's actions.

EO_MacLeod says:
::still aligning crystals::

XOLoren says:
*CEO* You heard the Captain.  ::goes to astrometrics::

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: You believe right, sir...

EO_MacLeod says:
::notices the crystals are ready and currently aligned::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::while waiting for Loren to com her back she moves over to Cook:: CNS: Very nice  job.. Cook.. all decks back to normal?

CMO_OMallory says:
::looks over systems that are on standby::

CNS_Cook says:
CO:  I am working on it.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: What do you suppose it is.. other ships..? ::thinks Breen::

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* We are starting to get systems back online, I do not recommend going after the other ships though... Leave the rest to us, the Gryphon will get back to SB78, unless we have another unfortunate encounter...

CSO_Vortak says:
::uses data recently gathered with the FCO to create a map::

EO_MacLeod says:
::goes back to ME::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* We may need to go back in there.. how long until repairs can be done?

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  It could be any number of things.  But as we would be fairly evenly matched with weapons, their retreat is illogical.

Pez says:
::thinks that TO might have a sense of humor after all::

CNS_Cook says:
::begins bringing the decks back online one by one::

XOLoren says:
*CSO* Q'eranna, there's some spacial displacement indicating the presence of a vessel or other object in the nebula.

FCO_Johnson says:
CO:  We do have a partial map of the nebula, at least the part we traversed.

TO_KTral says:
::Stands next to Ready Room door::

EO_MacLeod says:
CEO: Okay... I have to make a little simulation with warp drive.  It will take about 2 minutes.

Host CO_Spencer says:
OPS: Contact Starfleet.. we are in no condition to return to the Nebula.. they should send out another patrol ASAP.

CSO_Vortak says:
*XO* Thank you, Loren.  Transfer the data to my console, please.

CNS_Cook says:
CO:  Yes Ma’am.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* All right, Captain, listen to me very carefully, we can not go back before making a pit stop at a SB, is that understood, captain... unless you want to return to SB78 in an escape pod...

XOLoren says:
*CSO* Are you reading any thoughts from that location? ::transfers data from astrometrics::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Loren you are needed on the bridge please.

EO_MacLeod says:
::takes warp station on ME::

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Captain, Loren found that there is the presence of another object in the nebula, besides the Orion ship.

CSO_Vortak says:
*XO* I tried inside the nebula, but there was nothing.  I could try again from out here.

EO_MacLeod says:
Computer: Prepare simulation for warp drive with current configuration.

XOLoren says:
*CO* Aye, Ma'am.  ::calls SO von Braun to astrometrics::

EO_MacLeod says:
<Computer>: Acknowledge.

TO_KTral says:
*CO* Couldn't we question Pez he probably has traded with the pirates. He might know what is inside the Nebula.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::moves to science:: CSO: Well.. going in right now is not an option..

XOLoren says:
*CSO* Yes, do try that.

CNS_Cook says:
CO:  Do you want the message to go to SB 78?

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Please tell me you heard the last message...

CSO_Vortak says:
::attempts telepathic reception to no avail::

EO_MacLeod says:
<Computer>: Done.  You may start when ready.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*TO* I will be in shortly.

CMO_OMallory says:
;;taps comm badge::  *CEO* May I return sickbay to normal status?

EO_MacLeod says:
Computer: Begin simulation.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CNS: Send it right to Starfleet command.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CMO* Yes, but be prepared for another shut down...

EO_MacLeod says:
::watches the graphics on warp station::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* No I did not.. repeat it please.

CNS_Cook says:
FCO:  What is our current location?

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* All right, captain, listen to me very carefully, we can not go back before making a pit stop at a SB, is that understood, captain... unless you want to return to SB78 in an escape pod...

CSO_Vortak says:
::attempts telepathic reception again::

CMO_OMallory says:
*CEO* Understood.  ::powers SB back up, checking systems as they return::

XOLoren says:
*CIV* Anything new, Dr. McMurdo?

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* I understand Taylor.. keep your britches on.. ::waits for Loren to take over the Bridge::

XOLoren says:
::begins to move toward bridge::

TO_KTral says:
*CTO* Couldn't we be resupplied by a supply ship and continue on?

FCO_Johnson says:
CNS:  We are outside the nebula, still trying to find exact location.

CIV_Ian says:
*XO* Nothing of any use, unfortunately...  I will continue to look.

XOLoren says:
::arrives at bridge:: *CIV* Thank you.

EO_MacLeod says:
::notices on graphics that Gryphon has warp 5::

XOLoren says:
CO: Reporting as ordered, Ma'am.

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: Loren you have the bridge
CSO: Update the Commander please.. ::heads for her ready room::

CTO_Ultsim says:
*TO* Yeah, but I think it would be faster if we just went back to the Starbase.

EO_MacLeod says:
*FCO* Okay, Johnson, we are able to use warp 5.

XOLoren says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

CMO_OMallory says:
::sees all systems working properly::

TO_KTral says:
*CTO* Unless there was one in the area.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  I am transferring all of the recent information to your command console.  Oh, and Xena and Cadet are in the captain's ready room.

XOLoren says:
::takes center seat, begins reviewing reports::

CTO_Ultsim says:
*TO* True, true.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::moves into her RR to see the TO, a Ferengi.. a cat and a fox. and a puddle:: TO: And what are we all doing? ::moves to sit behind her chair::

Host SB_OPS says:
COM: Gryphon: Gryphon, this is Starbase 78.

FCO_Johnson says:
*CO* Warp 5 is available.  CO, CNS: 5 days from SB 78 at warp 5.

XOLoren says:
CSO: Thank you.  How nice for them all. ::raises eyebrow::

Pez says:
::looks at the Captain, then returns his attention to the walls::

CNS_Cook says:
COM: SB78: This is the USS Gryphon.

TO_KTral says:
CO: Standing watch over a prisoner.

EO_MacLeod says:
CEO: We are able to use warp 5, sir.  That's the best I can do for now.

Pez says:
::snorts at the TO's words::

CEO_Taylor says:
*FCO* You can increase to Warp 5, ensign...

Host SB_OPS says:
COM: Gryphon: What is your current status?

Host CO_Spencer says:
TO: Good job.. 
Pez: Ok Spill it.. and don’t give me a load of .....::hits her fist on her desk, muffling her last word::

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Thanks Mauro and good job...

CNS_Cook says:
COM: SB78: We are 5days from your location at warp 5 outside the Nebula.  We have encountered Orion ships in this area.

EO_MacLeod says:
CEO: Let's bring the systems back online.

Pez says:
CO: And have you gag me and that... thing ::points at K'tral:: dragging me around the ship?

XOLoren says:
CNS: If I may take it from here.

CSO_Vortak says:
::runs diagnostics on LRS and SRS to be sure they are working properly::

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: I want to know what the cargo is.. I want to know what the Orions wanted with you and I want to know now.. ! Is that understood?

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  Yes, sir I didn’t even see you come in sorry.

FCO_Johnson says:
::maintains all stop awaiting heading and speed orders.::

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: One by one, please, I wouldn't want anything to happen to the ship now....

Host SB_OPS says:
COM: Gryphon: Acknowledged.  You are to return to this location, best possible speed.

XOLoren says:
CNS: Thank you.

XOLoren says:
COM: SB: Acknowledged.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Please try to get warp drive fully operational, I want to get to SB 78 ASAP...

EO_MacLeod says:
::smiles to CEO:: CEO: Aye.

XOLoren says:
COM: SB: We are sending you a report on our status and on our encounter.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::stands leaning over her desk.. her hands flat against the polish:: Pez: Well?

TO_KTral says:
CO: I could give him a little wall to wall counseling and see if he would be more cooperative after that.

CSO_Vortak says:
::begins to gather data to back up her reports for later::

CNS_Cook says:
::sits back and waits giving his hands a rest::

CMO_OMallory says:
::runs diagnostics on systems, just to make sure::

CEO_Taylor says:
Self: Please, let's get back to SB intact and without interruption...

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods no at TO::

Pez says:
CO: The Orions wanted to do business or so they said... but they just stole my cargo and of course did not pay me... I was going to be blown to pieces when I sent that distress signal. Although I guess I would have been better treated by them than I was from you. And don't give me that look, it won't work. ::shrugs at her::

EO_MacLeod says:
::hears the new order from CEO:: CEO: Are you sure?

CEO_Taylor says:
~~~CSO: How are you holding up?~~~

XOLoren says:
*CEO* Engineer, please be prepared with a report when we reach the SB.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Believe me, I am...

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: DO not shrug at me… we saved your puny hide… what is in that cargo?

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* You'll have it before then, sir...

CSO_Vortak says:
~~~CEO:  Fine now that my "eyes" are back.~~~

Pez says:
CO: You know your superiors are gonna love this story... Or is it a new directive, to treat anyone you "save" as you say it like a prisoner?

EO_MacLeod says:
::nods to CEO:: CEO: Okay, I'm on my way.  After that, you'll pay me a beer...  ::smiles::

XOLoren says:
*CEO* Thank you for your outstanding work, Engineer.

CEO_Taylor says:
~~~ CSO: And how is Xena?~~~

Pez says:
CO: The cargo is just stuff. ::shrugs again:: Something they wanted in their base, inside the Nebula.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: I do not have to explain myself to you.. What is in that cargo?

XOLoren says:
*CEO* And thanks to Ens. Mauro.

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* I live to serve...

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* I'll pass them along to him...

Host CO_Spencer says:
TO: Take him to the brig.  When he can disclose the contents we will talk.

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  I have brought all decks back to normal shall I inform the crew they can start returning to their quarters.

TO_KTral says:
CO: We could open it ourselves.

Pez says:
CO: If you don't have to explain yourself to me, then I don't have to explain you anything.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: XO gives his congratulations...

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO: ~~~ Cooped up with the Captain and the Ferengi and the fox ::mental grimace:: ~~~~

XOLoren says:
CNS: Very good. By all means.

TO_KTral says:
::takes Pez back to the Brig::

Pez says:
CO: But you'll have to pay for it, and you know it.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::waves her hand at the TO:: TO: Get him out of here.

EO_MacLeod says:
::on TL, hears CEO's words and smiles::

CEO_Taylor says:
~~~ CSO: Poor girl. ::smiles mentally ~~~

Pez says:
::goes all the way, kicking K'Tral and yelling for the treatment he's been subjected to::

FCO_Johnson says:
CEO:  Any luck getting any faster warp speeds?

CNS_Cook says:
::lets the crew know they can return to their quarters and the replicators will be back on shortly::

CMO_OMallory says:
::finishes diagnostics, all systems check out::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Fox and Xena sit quietly in a corner of the ready room, watching the "big animals."

TO_KTral says:
::On the way introduces him to the CTO::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::stands and moves out of her Ready Room:: CTO: I want that cargo of Pez's opened... get security down to it now.

CEO_Taylor says:
*FCO* EO MacLeod is working on it, please ask him for anymore details...

Host CO_Spencer says:
CNS: Orders from Starfleet?

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: Ma'am, permission to retrieve Xena and return her to my quarters.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::whispers to the captain::  CO:  well, I may have an idea...

EO_MacLeod says:
::arrives on nacelle room, put his tool kit down, opens it, remove the cover and begins to search the others parts showing malfunction::

CNS_Cook says:
CO:  We are to return to SB78 at best speed.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Gryphon's systems have taken a beating, most must be repaired.

FCO_Johnson says:
*EO* Can you get us any faster warp speeds?

XOLoren says:
CO: May CSO Vortak retrieve her cat, Captain? And may we stand down from Red Alert?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Yes as soon as you can get a replacement up here.. and take Cadet with you.. can you?

TO_KTral says:
*CO* The force field in the brig will on go on line.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at Loren:: Yes stand down.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  ::hesitantly:: Certainly, ma'am.  ::thinks she has never held a fox before::

XOLoren says:
::nods at CO.  Gives appropriate orders::

CEO_Taylor says:
<CHIEF Kint> CEO: We got it, we can get a shield frequency that will shield us completely from the nebulas effects!

EO_MacLeod says:
::hears FCO call, hits comm badge:: *FCO* Sorry, Johnson, not for now...  And warp 5 may not last.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*TO* Yes it will K'Tral.

TO_KTral says:
::Sits down for another long night::

CSO_Vortak says:
*SO* Please come to the bridge.

CNS_Cook says:
::as the lights come back to normal, can feel nerves release a lot of tension::

CEO_Taylor says:
Chief: That's swell but we're not in the nebula anymore...

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Time to station?

TO_KTral says:
::tries the force field again and it works::

FCO_Johnson says:
::grateful to have red flashing lights go off, maybe this headache will go away.::

XOLoren says:
::gets up from center seat:: FCO: Please let me know if you feel any strain to our engines, so we can drop back immediately.

CSO_Vortak says:
::sees SO on bridge, enters Captain's RR and retrieves Xena and Cadet::

CMO_OMallory says:
::taps comm badge:: MED: All teams resume normal duties and...Thank you.  O'Mallory out.

FCO_Johnson says:
*EO* Understood.

TO_KTral says:
*CO* Do you still need me to guard the prisoner?

CEO_Taylor says:
<CHIEF Kint> ::frustrated:: CEO: You mean we've worked all that time for nothing?

CSO_Vortak says:
*CEO* Can you send someone up here to clean the Captain's RR?

Host CO_Spencer says:
*TO* Yes... please.. stand guard until the next shift.

CEO_Taylor says:
CHIEF: No, we might just get a chance to go back in the nebula, but not today! Over my dead body!

EO_MacLeod says:
::looks to driver polarity converter, begins to make a test that part::

CSO_Vortak says:
::leaves RR and enters TL::  TL: Captain's quarters.

TO_KTral says:
*CO* Will continue until next shift.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CSO* What happened?

CSO_Vortak says:
*CEO* You don't want to know.  Send someone who has been bad.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::moves to sit down in her chair: XO: Well that was fun.. ::blinks::

CEO_Taylor says:
*CSO* I have just the guy...

CSO_Vortak says:
::arrives at the appropriate deck and stands in front of the Captain's door::

XOLoren says:
CO: Yes, Captain.  Coffee, Captain?

FCO_Johnson says:
CO:  Course and heading, Ma'am?

CSO_Vortak says:
*CO* Ma'am, would you release the lock on your quarters so that I can put Cadet inside?

CMO_OMallory says:
::goes to replicator::  Coffee...Irish.  ::takes cup and sips::  Self: Just not  the same with synthehol...

CTO_Ultsim says:
::breathes a sigh of relief::

CEO_Taylor says:
*Beta Team* For not getting the TLs online quickly enough, go clean the CO's RR...

Host CO_Spencer says:
:;looks around:: XO: Yes.. oh please.

CNS_Cook says:
::sets back and relaxes::

EO_MacLeod says:
::notices that drive polarity converter is also malfunctioning, but that part has to be fixed, there are no way to replace it::

CEO_Taylor says:
<Beta Team> ::disappointed:: yes sir.......................

XOLoren says:
::goes to replicator and brings cup of coffee to CO::

Host Tim says:
