CSO_MacLeod says:
::head's up:: XO: Me too, Commander...  me too.

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Lieutenant, can you help me here for a moment, please?

Host XO_Taylor says:
::As he finishes his daily paperwork, Taylor thinks to himself "At last, I will have a chance to meet my replacement CEO::

CEO_Solkar says:
::everything appears to operating within normal parameters, it seems that my presence is not required in ME at this time--heads out to the nearest TL::

CMO_Turok says:
::Exits his office and approaches the MO::

Host XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* Could you please come up to the bridge as soon as possible?

CEO_Solkar says:
*XO* I am en route to the Bridge at this time, I will arrive shortly.

EO_On says:
CSO: Okay, Sir. I will check your console configuration.

CTO_Hunter says:
::notices the sensor blip again on the edge of sensor range, on the border of Breen space....::

Host XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* Understood.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  We are scanning the Breen space.  I'll prepare a route the way we can have the best positions to scan.

OPS_Shania says:
::at her station:: XO:The comm traffic shows the dissident Breen ship we chased has returned home. It sounds like the Breen government has no idea what has happened and who that commander of the fleet was. Looks like they know nothing about this Shadowman.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::nods to EO::

CEO_Solkar says:
::enters TL:: Bridge.

EO_On says:
::runs the configuration of CSO console::

FCO_Adams says:
::listens intently to Shania's report::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Sees the blip disappear...then reappear three minutes later, this time bigger but still the same relative distance as the last one::

CEO_Solkar says:
::a few moments later the TL stops and Solkar exits onto the bridge::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: When you say "home" do you mean the Breen home world or the dissident's world alone?

CMO_Turok says:
MO: I am going to the bridge to report on the Captain's condition.

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: Alright sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the scans are showing something::

CMO_Turok says:
::Walks out of Sickbay and heads for the bridge::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Breen home world. It also appears the Breen have no idea why we are out here circling their territory.

FCO_Adams says:
::checks her scans for any ships in the area::

EO_On says:
CSO: I have checked your console configuration; there is nothing to report.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::is tempted to rummage through his office looking for that chocolate candy::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Hasn't SF contacted the Breen home world yet?

OPS_Shania says:
XO: I guess not Sir. That's all information from Breen comm traffic.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::frowns at OPS's answer::

CEO_Solkar says:
::moves over to the XO:: XO: LCDR Solkar reporting as ordered, CDR.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::gets up:: CEO: XO Michael Taylor, welcome aboard Commander. I am relieved to see that we finally have a new CEO. If you have any concerns or questions, please come at any time.

EO_On says:
CSO: You’re welcome; I will check the battle bridge now.

CMO_Turok says:
::Enters the TL and proceeds to the bridge::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::walks nonchalantly towards his office::

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Any way to extend sensor range?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Sir, I'm picking up something here...  more of those unidentified marks. ::attempts to get them clear::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Position?

MO_SamBejTa says:
::looks left... looks right.. scratches a ridge .. looks right. Peeks into his office and spots them.. ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Exactly following our route.  It may be a group of cloaked ships on patrol.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: But once again, I can't say for sure. ::looks at the XO::

CMO_Turok says:
::Enters the bridge and looks around for the XO.  Seeing him, heads over toward him::

CEO_Solkar says:
XO: Of course XO. Are there any engineering problems which you believe need priority attention at this time?

Host XO_Taylor says:
CEO: Actually, I think that the bridge has been neglected. Please see to it that this does not happen again.

EO_On says:
::Is checking the damage of the battle bridge::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CEO: Also, the battle bridge needs some repair.

CMO_Turok says:
::Sees a Vulcan he does not recognize, assumes it is the new Engineer he was briefed about.::

CEO_Solkar says:
XO: It is illogical to let the operational status of the ship's main control area to be reduced due to inattention.  I will rectify this.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the CMO and a Vulcan talking to the XO::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CEO: I agree. Thank you for your directness, I appreciate it.

CMO_Turok says:
::Waits not-so-patiently for the Vulcan to leave.::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::takes a deep breath and is about to walk in when she thinks what he will do to her if he comes back and finds even one morsel gone and chocolate on her breath… she sighs and goes back to inventory::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::have the route ready and sends it to FCO's console::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Watches as Serria Three disappears from sensors::

CEO_Solkar says:
XO: The proper functioning of the ship is of sufficient import to require directness in communication. Your appreciation is noted, but is not necessary.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CEO: Here is a PADD with the repairs that are most needed according to the department heads. ::hands PADD::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Cassie, I sent you a route the way we can have the best positions to scan their space. ::smiles::

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Can you confirm that our shadow, Serria Three, disappeared?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: With the information I have on these scans, it's confirmed.

CEO_Solkar says:
XO: If you have no further orders or concerns I will be about my duties… with your permission.

FCO_Adams says:
:: makes the course calculations and  receives Mackie's route changes::

EO_On says:
*CEO* I am Mr. Edward On, I am your EO. I am checking right now the battle bridge. Welcome to the Gryphon, Sir.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CEO: I would say that to anyone of my crew. It would be illogical to treat you differently because you are Vulcan.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CEO: Dismissed.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::turns to CMO::

CEO_Solkar says:
*EO* I will be at your location shortly to speak with you, LT, please carry on.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CMO: Yes, Lieutenant?

CEO_Solkar says:
::heads off the bridge::

EO_On says:
*CEO* I will wait for you to come.

CMO_Turok says:
::Hands the XO a PADD.::  XO: Here is the report on Capt. O'Mallory's condition you requested.

CTO_Hunter says:
::gets another contact...this one is more the size of a Destroyer and labels it Serria Four::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Got the flight plan?

CEO_Solkar says:
::heads for BB::

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Well looks like we have company again.  I make it a Destroyer class ship this time, current designation Serria 4.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::glances at it:: CMO: Thank you, Lt. is there anything else?

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Lt. Have you received any data on possible obstacles in our proposed route? ::smiles:: I have it.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: That's not all, Lieutenant... ::check sensors readings::

CEO_Solkar says:
::enters the Battle bridge a few minutes later::

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Oh? You have something else?

EO_On says:
::it's with his tricorder searching for damages::

CMO_Turok says:
XO: No sir.  I have included the final casualty reports in there as well as the status of the injured.  You may read it at your leisure.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CMO: Thank you, you may get back to work.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CTO: I have a contact!  Some of those marks have moved across the border and are behind us.  Distance:  200 Km.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Should we go to red alert?

CMO_Turok says:
::Nods and walks away::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::in taking inventory she notes on the top shelf there are some boxes un-marked. Of course she can not reach them and can not find a stool, she crawls up on the counter, standing on it to get a better look::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  One contact, commander.  It must be a cloaked ship.

CEO_Solkar says:
EO: Have you located any discrepancies, Mr. On?

EO_On says:
CEO: I have located many, sir. I am fixing them.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Red Alert.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Aye Sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Uh oh!  It has disappeared.  ::runs another tachyon scan::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Try hailing them...

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: What?

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Aye Sir. ::opens channel and hails he ship::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: I'll attempt a wide beacon tachyon scan.  Stand by. ::runs it::

CTO_Hunter says:
*All Hands* All hands Battle Station, All hands Battle Station.  Possible hostile contact.  All Hands Battle Station.

FCO_Adams says:
::brings up the data for evasive maneuvers just in case::

CEO_Solkar says:

CMO_Turok says:
::Returns to sickbay::

CTO_Hunter says:
::hits the red Alert Button on his panel and ignores the flashing red lights

EO_On says:
CEO: I may need the Bravo Team to help me, sir.

CTO_Hunter says:
::waits as the Tactical Department confirms General Quarters::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: No response. I’ll keep trying.

Host XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* Please go to ME and leave the Bridge repairs to the Engineering teams.

CEO_Solkar says:
::notices the ship going to Red Alert::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::she removes one of the boxes from the shelf , and notes there is a thin layer of dust on it… telling her the environmental controls are not working... she blows the dust off:::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head:: XO: That is a negative.  I lost it.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Keep looking.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::jumping down as the red alert comes in, she sees Turok::

CEO_Solkar says:
EO: Very well....  since we are at red alert, this matter has priority, in case we should become involved in combat. Spare no effort Mr. On.  I am returning to main engineering.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: No change in course, besides the red alert, I want nothing to show that we have detected them or even that we have lost them...

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Aye sir, maintaining course and speed.

FCO_Adams says:
::glances over at Mackie and shrugs her shoulders:: CSO: I don't have anything on my scans either.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: I know.  And I am worry about that. ::works on his console::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::makes a note to main engineering that the controls need fine tuning in sickbay.... later::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: I'll keep running those scans and set lateral arrays to detect any trace of weapons discharge against us.  ::begins configuration::

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Status?

EO_On says:
CEO: Okay, Sir. ::sees the CEO leaving::

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Perhaps the CSO, CEO and myself should work on modifying some torpedoes as mines?

CEO_Solkar says:
::heads to ME to keep an eye on things there during the Alert::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Stop hailing.

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: Nothing to report, but dust sir… we are ready for anything.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: As you say... ::stops hailing and closes channel::

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Hmph.  Perhaps.  Issue the phasers.  ::Watches as his staff prepares sickbay::

CTO_Hunter says:
::catches himself staring at the Shania again::

CEO_Solkar says:
::enters main engineering and makes a round to check on everything::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Anything?

MO_SamBejTa says:
::winks at him and moves to the storage room to get out the weapons::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::hears a standard sound coming from tachyon scans::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: We have something off starboard, about 75 km.  We’re between it and the Breen border. ::looks at XO::

FCO_Adams says:
::looks for any signs of ion trails all around the ship::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::opens the door and enters the room, opening the storage locker and taking out the Phasers .. then brings them back to Turok:: CMO: Here you go .. sir. All in order.

CTO_Hunter says:
::has a bad feeling of deja vu::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::tucks one into her uniform and goes back to checking out the top shelf off the supply cabinet::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Negative.  We lost our sensors.

CMO_Turok says:
MO: What are you looking for?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::punches the console:: Self:  Damn, we're blind!

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: What?!

Host XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* Get those sensors back online now!

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: We are blind, sensors have been overloaded.  Maybe because of their scans.

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: Nothing sir, keeping busy. There is a whole bunch of supplies up here .. ::with that a box falls off the shelf as her hand taps it and lands with in an inch of Turok:: Oh sorry.. just umm keeping busy.

CTO_Hunter says:
::runs a check o tactical systems::

CEO_Solkar says:
*XO* Working… they have temporarily overloaded due to the power of the scans directed at us....  resetting protective functions and rerouting data flows, now.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Suggestions?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Continue on and hope we do not get attacked.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::punches the console again and notices that navigation sensors are online::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Suggestion noted.

CMO_Turok says:
MO: I see.  ::Picks up the box and looks inside::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Do you have NAV working, right?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices all sensors are now back online::

CEO_Solkar says:
*XO* Sensors should have returned to normal function at this time, CDR.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: The navigational sensors are online, but I'm not sure how much help they will be to you.

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: And there is dust up here… not a good thing. I have sent a low priority message to ME, but the environmental controls need adjusting.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Confirmed, sensors are back.  Anyway, I cannot get a lock on to that "ship".  It keeps fading.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ALL THE SHIPS CTO WAS TRACKING MOVED CLOSER TO BREEN BORDER, BUT STAYED ON THEIR SIDE

CSO_MacLeod says:

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: Hand me a cloth to clean it with.. please  ... umm sir.

CTO_Hunter says:
::notices where at first there was only Serria 4, now Serria 1 to 3 are starting to appear::

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Things may have just gone form Bad to Worse.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::runs a tachyon scan and notices it's not working:: Self: What's wrong?

CMO_Turok says:
::Grumbles but goes and gets a cloth and hands it up to the MO::

CEO_Solkar says:
*XO* I am reconfiguring sensor power distribution and overload protective functions in order to prevent a recurrence of the sensor loss, CDR. It should not occur again.

Host XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* Thank you.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::leans down taking the cloth, liking how much taller she is than he.. although standing on the counter:: CMO: Thanks.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head and checks the sensor pallet status::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Explain.

CEO_Solkar says:
*EO* What is your status there, Mr. On?

MO_SamBejTa says:
::with careful attention she wipes up the dust taking care to not spread it around the room::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sees it's back to default and recalibrates it::

EO_On says:
*CEO* I am busy here making some repairs.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Not only do we have the UFO that CSO is tracking, We also now have four Serria Contact in sensor range, before we only had one.  I have a feeling we about to be ambushed...maybe we should reverse course.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Not yet, what's their maximum warp speed?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::begins the wide beacon tachyon scans::

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Well, it is good to know that no Breen are hiding on that shelf.  Continue scanning.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::starts a conversation:: CMO: Not that I want the Sickbay full of bodies.. but you would think there would be something more we could do during a red alert. Scanning sir..? ::what is he talking about? Hmm oh well whatever::

CEO_Solkar says:
*EO* Very well, when you are done there, please go to the bridge and check the sensor systems there. We have had some difficulty with surges from scans from other ships.  Iam sending a team to your location to assist you in expediting your work.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Max warp varies...but if we continue forward we may run into a trap, if we reverse course even for a bit we can see what they do to counter.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Look, if we run at the first sign of trouble, we'll never accomplish anything!

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Any thoughts?

CMO_Turok says:
MO: ::Grumbles::  Well, no.  I suppose not.  Unfortunately as Doctors, we have little to do until someone elsebegins the fighting.  It is a galling situation for a Klingon, but one I have gotten used to.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: I did not say we should run sir.  I said we should reverse course to see how they react.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO/OPS: Anything to add?

EO_On says:
*CEO* When I see the team I can give orders to them in order to work with the repairs here and I can go to the bridge.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Sir, I have recalibrated the sensor pallets.  I'm picking up that mark, still on starboard, but it seems to be falling behind.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::nods yes as she looks down: CMO: I am almost done here.. when was your last.. check up Doctor? ::grins::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: They'll come back as soon as we would re-reverse course if you ask me.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: As a matter of fact, I was thinking about a full stop and see how they react.

CTO_Hunter says:
::wonders why the XO asked him if he not going to listen::

CEO_Solkar says:
*EO* Understood. An efficient approach, Mr. On.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Correct but if it’s an ambush they will more then likely attack.  If they simply reverse course we can continue forward.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::wonders as her hand touches something:: CMO: Look.. what I found. ::pulls out a bottle of Irish Whisky.. ::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir, we can try changing our course slightly and see if they do the same. If we are the target they should follow.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sensors show a second blip:: XO/CTO: Wait a moment.

CMO_Turok says:
MO: My last physical was five months ago.  What is that?  ::Peers at the bottle::

EO_On says:
::sees the ENG team arrive to the battle bridge and give orders to continuing the repairs there and goes to the bridge::

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: Looks old. ::hands it down to him::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Ok, change course slightly so that we can clear away from Breen space a bit.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CTO: I'm picking up a second mark on sensors.  It's 5 km ahead and it's racing toward the Breen space.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::shrugs:: Probably an old crew members stash... the things you can find when you are not even looking.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: What is it?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CTO: It has reached the Breen space.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Aye sir, changing course to 314 mark 6, engaging.

CEO_Solkar says:
*CSO* Mr. On is headed to the bridge to provide assistance in maintaining the sensors. Please convey your requirements and requests to him when he arrives.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: What was it then? ::smiles::

CTO_Hunter says:
::spots the blip the CSO is talking about::

CMO_Turok says:
::Studies the bottle::  MO: Hmm, must be the Captain's.  When he was the CMO.  No wonder he is always so cheerful.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::laughs:: CMO: Or someone stole it from him.

EO_On says:
::arrives to the bridge::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: It's just like the first blip, commander.  I could not identify it.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Any change from our friendly Breen companions?

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Thank you, and welcome aboard.  We shall meet soon.  MacLeod out.

FCO_Adams says:
::watches the navigation sensors closely::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Thought so... Just had to ask. ::smiles::

CTO_Hunter says:
::ID’s the vessel as a heavy cruiser....the seventh in two days...and labels it Serria Five::

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Well, it appears your search and diligence have shown profits.  ::Grins::  It is not as good as Bloodwine, but for Human alcohol it is tolerable.

EO_On says:
::steps and looks for the CSO::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  It's gone.

FCO_Adams says:
::thinks it would be nice to have some backup way out here::

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Contact is a Breen Heavy Cruiser, the seventh in two days.  Sir we need to find out if they are setting up an ambush.  Because if they are our only hope is to make them spring it before they are ready.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: There's a lot of comm traffic between the Breen. I'm trying to decode...

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: An Earth saying..  finders keepers... ::stops:: Unless your boss is a Klingon .::laughs::

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Ah, Lieutenant On.  Please check those circuits.  We had an overload and we need the sensors working at maximum efficiency.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: In other words you want us to go forward as quick as possible?

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Shall I increase speed to warp 9.5 sir?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: No sir I want us to reverse course and see if they attack us.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: If they have an ambush in front of us, they may just not want us to go back, thus by heading backwards they will have to attack so their ambush force can attack as well.

EO_On says:
CSO: Alright, Sir. ::checking the circuits and made some repairs because they were overload::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CTO: I disagree.  They may see it as a provocation.  And certainly, attack us.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: How far away is the "ambush"? When will we reach it?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Sir if I knew that I would be omnipotent.  I am not even sure it is an ambush, but this is exactly how I would set an ambush up.

CMO_Turok says:
MO: We will save this and celebrate the Captain's return to health following his surgery.

FCO_Adams says:
::taps a message to Mauro's station:: CSO: Are our friends changing course to match us?

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Increase speed.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Yes sir, increasing to warp 9.5. ::taps the flight console::

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: A good plan. ::hops off of the counter, resisting the urge to wipe her hands on her pants, and moves over to wash them::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::hears when his console sounds and sees the FCO's message, replies it:: FCO: Negative.  They are gone.  I cannot detect them anymore.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: The Breen are still wondering why we are out here.

EO_On says:
CSO: I have changing some circuits because they were overload, Right now they should work at maximum efficiency.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: I'm not ready to turn around and thus give them more time to prepare.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Uhm Sir, can I make a suggestion?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: If they setting up an ambush they do not need time to get ready. They would be all ready waiting for us.  But clearly you do not want my tactical advice Sir.

CMO_Turok says:
::Wonders if he should reprimand his staff for letting such filth build up in sickbay.  ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Thank you again, Mr. On.  I'm glad you're onboard. ::smiles::

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Thank you for taking on this menial task.  One of the orderlies should have kept this area clean.  It shows me that I have not been paying close enough attention to the smaller details of Sickbay.  You have taught me a valuable lesson.  ::Looks mildly chagrined. ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Perhaps we should get out of our route, just a little, and deploy some probes, calibrated to find cloaked vessels.  We can monitor them through the probes.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Sir I am calm, but there is no point in you asking me for advice anymore since you do not listen to what I say.

CTO: But at one point, you have to know how to drop it and not to take it as an offense.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head, XO and CTO are about to discuss again::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: We are receiving a distress call on a Federation frequency.

CMO_Turok says:
::Takes the whiskey to his office and puts it in a cabinet.  Looks carefully around sickbay, seeking out other areas he may have neglected.::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: On screen.

CTO_Hunter says:
:::does not answer::

OPS_Shania says:
::puts it on screen:: XO: It's 17.5 light years ahead.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: SCREEN IS FILLED WITH LINES AND A SQUAWK

CSO_MacLeod says:
::makes sure the scans are running and listens to the comm::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::frowns::

Host Tim says:
@Anyone: Help.. have... ians

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: FED_Vessel: This is Commander Michael Taylor, Xo of the Gryphon, what is the emergency?

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Backing us off sir. We can maintain present speed for an indefinite period.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::starts to whistle under her breath.. Jimmy Crack Corn and I don’t care::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Good, thank you.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: I'm trying to locate the source. ::attempts to locate it::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::waits for some kind of response::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Nods to CSO::

OPS_Shania says:
::tries to stabilize the comm link::

CMO_Turok says:
::Wonders why they are still at Red alert and no one has fired yet.  Grumbles about Starfleet officers.::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Are they receiving me?

MO_SamBejTa says:
::organizes her socks in her head::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::gets some readings:: XO: Sir, it seems to be a comm buoy.  It's on our projected course.

CTO_Hunter says:
::Checks his threat board::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::wonders what this is about:: FCO: Is the buoy directly on our course?

FCO_Adams says:
::scans ahead with the navigational sensors for signs of the buoy::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: They are receiving, but it will take a while to relay the voice comm.  Range:  17 light years, confirming what Lieutenant Shania reported.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::stomach growls… so she starts thinking about caramel swirl ice cream::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Not exactly, It's close. ::looks at the FCO and nods::

CMO_Turok says:
::Sits at his desk and starts munching on the Raktajino beans::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Can you clear up their message or where it came from? (not the buoy, but the ship)

Host Tim says:
ACTION: MESSAGE JUST REPEATS ITSELF

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Working on it.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: No sir, as Mr. MacLeod said, it's just slightly off.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::sees the CMO eating that candy again.... turns her head to not look.. her stomach growls louder::

CTO_Hunter says:
::wonder if maybe he is begin overly paranoid, or maybe there is an ambush up ahead::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: We have to get closer to get a fix on the original source of the signal.

CMO_Turok says:
::Looks around, puzzled then comes out to the main room::  MO: Is there a Targ in here?  I distinctly heard one a moment ago.  ::looks around some more::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Change course to intercept with the buoy.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Changing course to intercept.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::tries to find an ion trail from the buoy position, in order to find the ship which left it there::

CTO_Hunter says:
::notices that Breen vessels have increased their distance....hmm not a good sign::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Also try to run the voice frequency to see if we can know who is talking.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::tries to not look at him... Sam had one fault.. she laughed under pressure.. and her stomach was pressuring her now.. ::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Drop from warp when in range.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Aye Sir.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Make sure that there is no cloaked ship in the vicinity.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::gets a grip and turns to look at him:: CMO: No sir.. no Targ here.

CMO_Turok says:
::Shakes his head and returns to his office::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Already on it, sir.  Tachyons all over the place.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Aye sir, we should intercept the buoy is 3.276 days at present speed.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::looks at one of the other sickbay persons, makes big eyes and laughs::

Host Tim says:
<<<Pause mission>>>
