CIV_Adrel says:
FCO: ETA?

CTO_Hunter says:
::at tactical wondering if the CSO will ask for his sword back::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks around and sees Amelia in charge, moves towards her::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::wanders into sickbay::

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: We're still 17.83 days out ma'am at present speed.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Lieutenant MacLeod reporting to duty, sir.

CIV_Adrel says:
FCO: Thank you, Lt. ::smiles::

FCO_Adams says:
:;looks over and sees Mackie on the bridge::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Great to see you up here, MacLeod. How are you feeling?

MO_SamBejTa says:
::rubs her temples and heads to the replicator looking over her shoulder to see if Turok noticed her late arrival::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I'm fine, ready to get back to work. ::smiles::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Good. Then take a seat at SCI. Not much to do but to scan I am afraid.

CMO_Turok says:
::Working on several memos to the crew and command staff, doesn't notice his subordinate slacking in her duties.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Aye, sir! ::turns and takes his station::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at FCO and winks at her::

FCO_Adams says:
::watches Mackie move back to his station::

FCO_Adams says:
::smiles and nods::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CTO: How's tactical, Cmdr?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I will begin a wide sensor scan on the area. ::does so::

CTO_Hunter says:
CIV: Nice and quiet...just the way I like it.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::makes herself some good French coffee and heads over to the duty sheet to see what’s on the agenda for the day::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CTO: Just like we all like it. Unfortunately, I doubt the Breen will leave us alone once we get closer.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: Commander Hunter... ::nods at him::  CTO:  Are you using the tachyon scanner with TAC sensors yet?

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Yes I am.

OPS_Shania says:
CIV: Just wanted to inform you that the Breen have reduced their surveillance to one ship, which is still following but staying in Breen space.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::stirs the coffee with a spoon, although she put nothing extra in it, sips it and reads::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: I'd like to see these TAC sensors reports as soon as we have the time, do you think you can provide it for me?

Host CIV_Adrel says:
OPS: Thank you for the information. We will try to avoid them as best as we can. I never liked Breens and never will.

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Ensign!  Come here.

CEO_Solkar says:
::reviewing internal sensor logs in an attempt to deduce how, exactly absconded with the missing parts::

FCO_Adams says:
::keeps her head down checking her starchart::

CMO_Turok says:
::Continues work on the memos::

EO_On says:
::arrives to ME::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::scans the sector::

CTO_Hunter says:
::taps a few keys on his panel:: CSO: You should be able to access the logs from your panel at your convenience.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::looks towards Turok’s office, sitting down her coffee, moving towards his office door::

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: Yes, sir. ::stepping into his office::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
::takes a PADD next to her and reads it, making herself more comfortable in the Big Chair (tm)::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: Thank you, commander.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Anything I should be aware from the starcharts?

FCO_Adams says:
::reviews the course projections on the chart::

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Do you have a copy of the Klingon Basic Hand to Hand holo instruction program?  The one the children receive when they first attend school?

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: We're clear of all anomalies for the moment Lieutenant. Everything is nominal.

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: No sir, I do not. ::looks at him, now why would she have a preschool program?::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
All: Things are too calm...

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Thank you, Lieutenant.  ::smiles::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Indeed... I still don't have any unusual reading on sensors.

CMO_Turok says:
::Sighs::  MO: This ship does not have it on file.  I think I still have mine but it will take awhile to find.  I was hoping you had yours close at hand.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::wishes she had brought her coffee with her as she stands there::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I guess we can't always have action up here. But having everything nominal... that's too good to last.

FCO_Adams says:
::glances back at Mackie, hoping that being back on duty is not too much for him::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Reads up on back memos and see that parts are missing::

MO_SamBejTa says:
::shakes her head no:: CMO: No, who are you wanting to train... not yourself is it? ::grins::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  As long the Breen stay in their territory, I'd be glad to keep in this way. ::smiles::

CMO_Turok says:
::Glares at the MO::  MO: No.  Not me.  I will be in my quarters for a few minutes.  Sickbay is yours.

OPS_Shania says:
CIV: There's a sudden increase in Breen comm traffic.

CTO_Hunter says:
*CEO* Are you busy? I need to talk to you about these missing parts?

Host CIV_Adrel says:
OPS: There is? Can you intercept some of those messages?

MO_SamBejTa says:
CMO: Yes, sir. ::backs up to let him by::

CEO_Solkar says:
*CTO* Very well. Do you wish me to come to the bridge?

CMO_Turok says:
::Gets up, grabs a few Raktajino beans from the nearly empty box on his desk, and leaves the office::

OPS_Shania says:
CIV: Working on it.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
OPS: Good.

MO_SamBejTa says:
::notes his bean taking and also notes there is not enough to take even one without him noticing, not that she would.. but it did occur to her::

CMO_Turok says:
::Exits sickbay and heads for his quarters::

FCO_Adams says:
::perks up her ears at the mention of the Breen::

CTO_Hunter says:
*CEO* Now I could come down to ME.  ::hears the commotion between CIV and OPS:: OR maybe not seems like we might be getting busy.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
FCO/CTO: Is there still only one Breen ship patrolling or do you see others on their way?

CEO_Solkar says:
*CEO* Busy? Please elaborate.

CTO_Hunter says:
::checks his board:: CIV: Just one.

OPS_Shania says:
CIV: It's difficult to make out details but it looks like the Breen are sending ships towards their Cardassian border. They said something about pirates.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CTO: Aye. Let's hope it stays like this.

CTO_Hunter says:
*CEO* Busy as in we might be going to battle stations....

CSO_MacLeod says:
::frowns at the subject::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
OPS: Pirates?

FCO_Adams says:
::runs a check on her forward navigational sensors:: CIV: Sensors confirm that ma'am.

CMO_Turok says:
::Goes into his quarters and begins looking through his PADDs and files for the program.::

CEO_Solkar says:
*CTO* Understood. I will come to the bridge.

OPS_Shania says:
CIV: Yes Ma'am.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
FCO: Aye. Keep us always a bit behind of that ship. There's a saying that says "never to turn your back from a Breen" let's humour it and do just that.

CEO_Solkar says:
*EO* Mr. On, you have engineering. I will be on the bridge.

CTO_Hunter says:
CIV: I recommend that we go to yellow alert

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: Aye Commander, will do.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CTO: Go ahead, yellow alert.

EO_On says:
*CEO* Aye, Sir. ::sees CEO leaves ME::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Please check the freighter's logs again and see if there is anything about pirates.

CTO_Hunter says:
*All Hands* Yellow Alert.  Prepare for possible hostile contact.

CEO_Solkar says:
::enters the bridge  several moments later, after a rapid trip in the TL::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Those pirates who have attacked the freighter, maybe...

OPS_Shania says:
CIV: Might be those who attacked the mining camp.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Maybe, but let's check in case we find something new that could help us.

EO_On says:
::hears about the yellow alert and he is at his console::

CEO_Solkar says:
::brings up the Bridge engineering console::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Aye.

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: Commander, if we are to stay behind the Breen ship, I'll have to reduce speed. We are much faster than they are.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
FCO: Okay then, remain at warp 8 but let's all keep an open eye.

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: Yes Commander.

EO_On says:
::also makes an announcement in ME to all Teams, beware of pirates::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
OPS: Try to decode more of those messages. I want to know what's ahead of us.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::double checks the logs::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Steals a glance over at OPS thinking that he needs to ask her out again::

CMO_Turok says:
::Finds the file he is looking for and heads back to Sickbay.  Notes the increased activity in the corridors as the ship goes to yellow alert.::

OPS_Shania says:
CIV: Aye aye. ::starts hitting buttons::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  All we know is they are using type III disruptors and may be Orion.

FCO_Adams says:
::sees the yellow alert blinking light on her console flashing::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Thanks.

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Orion?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Just hope they are not using Romulan ships.

CMO_Turok says:
::Arrives at sickbay::

MO_Sam says:
::makes herself a bigger cup of coffee before the replicators go off line::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Let's hope. But also let's get prepared in case they do have Romulan ships.

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Status?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::enables passive neutrino imaging scanner::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
All: I want to know what's ahead of us, who are those pirates and how we will prepare in case we come face to face.

MO_Sam says:
::turns around:: CMO: Same as before you left, sir we are and have been ready for anything for a month ::smiles slightly::

FCO_Adams says:
::overhears the "Romulan" ship reference and cringes at the thought::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: I think Commander Hunter can have all tactical information about ships which use type III disruptors.  They are not many.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
::takes a deep breath and tries to analyze all the info::

CMO_Turok says:
::Grins slightly and claps her on the shoulder::  MO: I know.  I am anxious for battle as well.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Indeed. ::turns to the CTO to see if he heard what the CSO said::

MO_Sam says:
::smiles back:: CMO: Well I suppose at least we are honest.

Host Tim says:
<CO O'Mallory> *OPS* Lt Shania, please come to my ready room.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over at Shania working so hard::

CMO_Turok says:
::Offers her the Raktajino beans::  MO: Here.  Have some.

CTO_Hunter says:
::queries the tactical database on ships that normal use the aforementioned weapon::

MO_Sam says:
::takes them and smiles:: CMO: Sir, you have me addicted to these. ::laughs slightly::

OPS_Shania says:
*CO* On my way. ::contacts an ensign to take over OPS and heads for the ready room::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  The Klingons, Romulans and the Breen.  I'm sure we have this information in our databanks.

CTO_Hunter says:
::checks out ops as she walks towards the RR and decide he better asked her on another date::

OPS_Shania says:
::rings door bell::#

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory>OPS: Come.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Surely.

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Yes, they are quite good.  You should replicate some for yourself.

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders what Captain O'Mallory really does all day in his ready room::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks the passive scans::

MO_Sam says:
::tilts her head:: CMO: They are replicated? Why I thought… ::she thought she was an idiot before now she knows she is::

OPS_Shania says:
::steps into the RR:: CO: OPS Shania reporting sir.

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory> ::Stands as Shania enters and waves her in::

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory> ::Reaches down to his desk and retrieves a small box:: OPS: You've been busy and avoiding me I think ::smiles::

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over in the direction of the CTO and frowns::

OPS_Shania says:
::looks puzzled:: CO: Not that I know of...

FCO_Adams says:
::turns back to her charts and marks the location of the Breen ship in relation to the Gryphon::

CMO_Turok says:
MO: Yes they are.  Naturally the real beans are much better, but they don't last long.

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory> ::Opens box and takes out a pip; removes the hollow one and pins on the full one:: OPS: This has been a long time coming and you deserve it... Lieutenant.

MO_Sam says:
CMO: True But I do enjoy getting them from you, thanks Sir.
CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices something on sensors::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Uhm...thank you sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Commander, I'm picking up more ion trails than I would expected... ::taps for a while::  CIV:  They are all heading toward Cardassia. ::looks at CIV::

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory> ::waves hand toward the bridge:: OPS: Quiet out there?

CMO_Turok says:
::Sits down at his desk::  MO: Take them.  I have eaten too many since we last left base.  A fat warrior is no warrior at all.  ::pats his rock-hard stomach and grins::

MO_Sam says:
::raises eyebrows:: CMO: Oh I don’t know. There is something about a man that has something to pat .... umm .. sir ::laughs, chomping on the beans::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: So the Cardassians might be more involved than we think. ::sighs::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: There has been some comm traffic from the Breen saying something about pirates. We are trying to find out more.

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory> ::Takes another PADD from the stack and glances at it::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Or the Breen are planning something up to them.  ::frowns::  CIV:  It's hard to say.

CMO_Turok says:
::Snorts::  MO: You HAVE been around humans too long.  ::Goes back to work, but there is a slight smile on his face for a moment::

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory> ::Looks up:: OPS: I see... Well, keep LCDR Adrel informed of any changes. :: Moves to his chair:: And congratulations Lt.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: I'll try to identify the ships by their trails, stand by...  ::attempts to ID the vessels::

FCO_Adams says:
::adjusts the navigational sensors to a wider beam::

CTO_Hunter says:
::turns his station over to ensign K'lumsy::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: That is also another possibility. But what?

OPS_Shania says:
CO: I will and thanks again.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I could identify some of them.  Some ion trails are Cardassian, some Ferengi and the rest, unknown.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: How many ion trails are you getting Lt?

Host Tim says:
<O'Mallory> ::Nods and returns to looking at the PADDs::

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'Lumsy>::pounds the tactical station::

OPS_Shania says:
::turns and leaves RR::

MO_Sam says:
::goes over the list of crew that are due for a checkup tomorrow::

CTO_Hunter says:
::see Shania leaving the ready room and intercepts her...noticing the extra pip:: OPS: congratulation Lt.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Unknown? We know we have a Ferengi as the co-owner of the mining camp and we saw from the freighter's logs that a lot of Cardassians are there too.... but the "unknown" part... did you compare that trail with everything in our database?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV/FCO:  Over one hundred...  but most of them are very old.  ::checks the readings::  The most recent is two weeks ago.

FCO_Adams says:
::sees Shania returning:: OPS: So, what did he want?

Host CIV_Adrel says:
OPS: Could you check the comms again and see if you have anything involving Cardassia, Lt? I see something new on your collar, congratulations.

OPS_Shania says:
CFO: Thank you ::smiles::, FCO: Nothing big. I guess he felt kinda lonely in there. ::grins::

CTO_Hunter says:
::whisper to ops:: OPS: Dinner tonight?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Aye... and I could not find a match.

FCO_Adams says:
::smiles at Shania:: OPS: Oooooooo a promotion, congratulations Lt.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: And nothing earlier than that? mmm.....  And that earliest one, is it one from an unknown ship?

FCO_Adams says:
::eyes the new pip::

CEO_Solkar says:
TO K'Lumsy: Is there a problem with your console?

CTO_Hunter says:
<K’Lumsy>::growls:: CEO: Yes there is a problem with the Pat'ak panel.  It does not work right.

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: I'd like that. CIV: On my way. Thank you. FCO: Thanks. ::grins at CTO and walks back to her station::

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: All those ion trails are heading for Cardassian space?

CEO_Solkar says:
TO K'Lumsy: Mechanical agitation of the equipment is highly unlikely to improve its performance.

CTO_Hunter says:
::Watches her walk away and has to stop himself from staring::

CEO_Solkar says:
TO: What is the nature of the problem... other than it does not "work right?"

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Exactly.  I can suggest they should be Orion, due the freighter's captain's words.  Of course, I'd be guessing.

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'lumsy>CEO: Then why is it working again? After I hit it? ::Wonders about these Vulcans.....all brains but still stupid::

OPS_Shania says:
::takes over her station from the ensign and checks Breen comms::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I think it is our best guess right now.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO:  It looks that way from here, Lieutenant, but for all I know, they could just wrap around Breen space...  Can't tell.

CTO_Hunter says:
::notices K'lumsy and the new CEO talking and decide he better get back over there::

CMO_Turok says:
::Finishes up the memos, attaches the training program file to one, and sends them on their way.::

CEO_Solkar says:
TO: Probabilities indicate an intermittent fault, unrelated to your mechanical agitation. The control interfaces are solid state equipment and, as such, do not respond to mechanical agitation, except by failure.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO/CTO: Work together and try to find out more about those ion trails, why did they go to Cardassia, is it linked to the mining camp, anything.

FCO_Adams says:
::nods to Mackie and tries to find evidence of those ion trails directly in the path of the  Gryphon's course::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  We should have a better "sight" on arriving at the mining camp area.

CTO_Hunter says:
CIV: Very well Have Ensign K'Lumsy work on that with the CSO

CTO_Hunter says:
CEO, Klumsy: Problems?

MO_Sam says:
::sends reminder notes to those on her list to be on time, and no food or liquids after midnight::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CTO: That's fine Cmdr, K'Lumsy or you, I don't mind.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Indeed we will, let's just get out all the possibilities and what we know out before we arrive. There is nothing better than being prepared... well maybe be too prepared. ::smiles::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles back:: CIV:  To prevent is better than to remedy.

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: Ma'am, interesting bit of information here. Those ion trails although not on our flight path, seem to converge where the sensors stop.

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'lumsy>::Suppresses the growl:: CTO: No sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::glances at FCO::

CEO_Solkar says:
CTO: I am attempting to ascertain what the problem with the TO's console is, other than it is not "working right." Clarity and exactitude of description aids in expediting repair efforts.

Host CIV_Adrel says:
FCO: hiding from us?  ::turns to CSO:: CSO: Can we make our sensors go further... maybe send a probe to see what's out there?

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over at Mackie:: CSO: You should have that on your LRS as well.

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: Possible Commander.

CTO_Hunter says:
CEO: Ahh Well I make sure the Ensign completed a full report. But we need to talk about missing parts.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks LRS:: FCO: I see what you're saying.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV/FCO:  But I should say this could be a sensor illusion.

CEO_Solkar says:
CTO: Very well. The missing parts are not critical components, but their disappearance is inefficient and has caused the expenditure of energy and replicator time to replace them.

FCO_Adams says:
::makes sure her readings are correct::

Host CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: All possible. We need to solve the puzzle.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  The probe won't be much faster than us, commander.  We would not be able to get a reading.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Unfortunately, all we can do is to continue with our scans and as soon we get closer, send a probe.
