Host Klordy says:
Prologue: the teams are testing their prototypes
Host Klordy says:
<<<Resume Mission>>>
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at the plans once more like a monkey doing arithmetic::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Looks over the MOs Shoulder while reading the plans::
EO_Davidson says:
MO: How's the math looking?
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at the TO and then turns them upside down again to see if they make more sense that way::
MO_Cutter says:
::Shakes her head:: TO: I still don't see it....
MO_Cutter says:
EO: The math looks... um... you tell 'em Sharpe
TO_Sharpe says:
:: Looks down at the MO and Grins:: MO: Why'd'ya Think I’m a Tactical
EO_Davidson says:
::Looks at the TO::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Walks into the holodeck wondering where everyone else on the team was::
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks up... waaaaay up:: TO: Then I'd say, excuse the language, but we're screwed! ::Grins::
TO_Sharpe says:
MO/TO: I dunna know, engineerin' was Ne'er me strong class
Coreena says:
::Follows behind the CMO::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Walks up to her design team, helmet slung over one shoulder:: CMO: Hi there!  ::Nods politely and respectfully to the CEO but says nothing::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Follows the CMO into the holodeck::  CMO: Boo!  ::Grins::  You beat us here.
EO_Davidson says:
::Shakes his head:: TO/MO:I think that is why I am here....
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Notices Coreena: Coreena: Will you be joining us today?
MO_Cutter says:
::Shrugs and hands him the plans:: EO: Sounds good to me.  TO: What do you think?  Wanna go get a drink? ::Winks and grins::
Coreena says:
::Eyes the CEO, then turns to the CTO::  CTO:  I was told to lend a hand.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Nods to the CTO::  Greetings once again..  Hopefully this time under better circumstances
CMO_Roxton says:
CEO: I walk fast.  ::Grins slightly::
EO_Davidson says:
Computer: Seal the holodeck doors...authorization Davidson Lamda 3.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: I can understand how our last meeting was... umm... stressful for you  ::grins::  But this time we're on the same side.
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Well let's hope you lend two.  ::Grins and walks over to the arch programming in the specs for their vehicle, creating a hologram of it in the center of the room::
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: ah, I'm on Duty.... but aye a drink sounds good
EO_Davidson says:
MO/TO: We are staying here till we get this think flying like the wind.... any problems?
MO_Cutter says:
::Shakes her head and looks at him oddly:: TO: I was JOKING.  Sheesh
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: ::Snaps to attention:: Sah!
MO_Cutter says:
::Bristles at the EO's tone::
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: Oh sorry Ma'am
Coreena says:
::Looks down at both of her hands with a frown and follows the CEO::
CEO_Michaels says:
Team: Well, let's set up some test runs...
EO_Davidson says:
MO/TO: I am sorry if I came across too strong but we have to up hold the name of Starfleet
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Walks over to the hologram of their car and runs a hand over it:: self: Gorgeous....
CEO_Michaels says:
CMO/CTO: You two want to take her for the test drives, Coreena and I will come up with some fun terrain for you to test out.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Nods, again very formal and polite:: CEO: Sounds good
EO_Davidson says:
MO/TO: We must not forget that we are not only representing the Hayden but Starfleet as well. We have to show them what we are made of
MO_Cutter says:
::Walks over and grabs a technical thingy, muttering to herself::  Self: No sense of humor, either of them..... Him acting like he's got a stick up his...
CMO_Roxton says:
CEO/CTO: I'm a doctor, not a driver.  So I hope our good CTO can handle driving this thing.  ::Grins::
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: aye sah, Shall we test her out then?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: ::lopsided smirk:: Don't worry about that....
CEO_Michaels says:
::Shakes his head at Ashlynn's cold response thinking she could at least be relaxed if she's going to be purely professional::
CEO_Michaels says:
CMO: That's all right, I'm sure we'll need some medical attention after this is over.
EO_Davidson says:
::Nods:: Computer: Recreate the race course here on the holodeck and use weather typical of that area....
CMO_Roxton says:
::Wonders what is going on between the CEO and CTO::  CTO: Good to know
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Not wasting any time, hops into the car and plunks her helmet on:: CMO: Care to join me?
MO_Cutter says:
::Pretty sure she's gonna kill Jason when this is all finished::
CEO_Michaels says:
CMO/CTO: Well, suit up; we'll start you off with one of the paved sections.
EO_Davidson says:
MO: Keely.... sorry if I cam across to harsh.... ::directs voice at the ceiling:: Computer: recreate the whole course.
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: Well who gets to drive her?
EO_Davidson says:
Computer: Make that the paved section
MO_Cutter says:
::Smiles tightly at the EO, still gonna strangle her husband::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Programs the computer to give him a control panel, and brings up a mile long section of paved road::
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: we should test the acceleration first.... then handling
EO_Davidson says:
TO: Good idea...Suit up you two.  ::Smiles::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Pops his helmet on and wonders how many of the crew he'll be patching up after this race::  CTO: I believe the expression is..  "Let's roll & rock?"
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at him like he's nuts and rubs at her ear... maybe she didn't hear him right?::
EO_Davidson says:
Computer: Give me two racing suits to fit the Sharpe and Keely.
MO_Cutter says:
TO: Dammit Sharpe, I'm a doctor not a Nascar driver. ::Attempts the humor thing one more time::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Mumbles, Bloody wonderful squeeze myself into a bloody death trap:: MO: Nascar?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Laughs, very excited to be able to get it out on the road:: CMO: You said it....  ::puts the key in the ignition and revs the engine a little, just for fun::
Host Coreena says:
::Comes around from the other ship, after examining it, back to the others.::
Host Klordy says:
Action: the computer generates one racing suit and one frilly teddie
TO_Sharpe says:
::Gets into the suit and Literally squeezes himself into the car::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Pipes "Danger Zone" over the loudspeakers quite loudly::
EO_Davidson says:
::Laughs:: MO: Good one....what??? 
MO_Cutter says:
::Sighs, shaking her head:: Self: Is Jason the ONLY one around here that is up on old earth pop culture?
EO_Davidson says:
Computer :I said two racing suits! Not one two
TO_Sharpe says:
::Holds up the teddy:: MO: this ones for you
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at Sharpe oddly:: TO: Um... nice teddy.
MO_Cutter says:
TO: You'll look great, I’m sure
TO_Sharpe says:
::Smiles at the MO:: MO: oh aye I’m sure that would look great for the Holiday party blackmail pictures
EO_Davidson says:
Computer: Create a link with the telemetry sensor in the racer and link it with my PADD
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: We'll start whenever you're ready ::gestures to the dashboard:: the Nav system is there, you'll want to familiarize yourself with it.
MO_Cutter says:
::Smiles ever so sweetly and decides that her husband REALLY is gonna be a dead man if he thinks this is a funny joke...::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Suits up and squeezes himself behind the steering yoke::
CEO_Michaels says:
CTO/CMO: Ok, start her up and let her go, Coreena and I'll be monitoring your situation, and giving you some fun problems along the way.
EO_Davidson says:
MO: You getting in? ::Points to the other seat::
MO_Cutter says:
::Ignores the suit and climbs into the car::  TO: lots of room huh?
Coreena says:
CEO:  I do not understand the concept of 'racing'.  What is the purpose?
TO_Sharpe says:
::In a strangled voice:: MO: Oh yeah....a bloody suite in here...
EO_Davidson says:
MO: The suit please...I know they are uncomfortable.... but its a safety feature they used in something called "Nascar Racing"
TO_Sharpe says:
::Ramps his head into the sealing creating a dent for his helmet:: Ahh much better
MO_Cutter says:
::Grins and kicks her legs around:: TO: Oh I dunno.. I've got plenty of legroom.
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena:  The object is to be the first one to go from start all the way to finish.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the system and once again thanks his mother for the photographic memory::  CTO: I remember our design documents on it, we should be ok..  Go for it
EO_Davidson says:
TO: Start her up.... The car that is
Coreena says:
CEO:  But why does it matter?  They will both get there.
EO_Davidson says:
 ::Smiles::
MO_Cutter says:
::Shocked.. Can’t believe he said that!  Maybe there is hope for the EO after all...::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Presses the ignition button and cringes waiting for the explosion he knows is gonna come::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Eyes light up:: CMO: Hold on to your hat ::throws it into gear and accelerates quickly... satisfied with the speed it gets off the line::
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Yes well...usually the person who gets there first get something...like money, or a trophy...or bragging rights.
Coreena says:
::Watching::  CEO:  Bragging?
MO_Cutter says:
::Wonders why she doesn't get to drive!  She hasn't broken anything technical in, like, weeks!  Or at least days::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Sighs in relief as the car starts without incident:: MO: hey whatdaya know it works and it didn’t kill us
EO_Davidson says:
TO: Kick It! ::Backs away::
MO_Cutter says:
TO: Always a good sign, yes.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Takes a curve a little fast, and almost goes up on two wheels:: CMO: The handling isn't bad, but we'll have to work on curves...
Host Klordy says:
Action: there is a glitch with the pilot controls in the EO's car... Copilots are working fine
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Yeah...ever notice how our crew always says and thinks the Hayden's the best ship in the fleet...well every crew does that with their ship, it's called bragging...only if you win the race, you earn the right because you beat everyone else.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Grabs a hand rail and nods::  CTO: I suppose you could say that..  Make a left at the intersection about 2 klicks farther ahead of us
TO_Sharpe says:
::Jams his foot down on the accelerator::
Coreena says:
::Watching what the CEO does gets the idea and starts to program the computer, placing a low wall in front of the CMO's vehicle::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: We may have to widen the wheel base so it stays on the ground  ::nods at his instructions, and makes the left - sharply - when they get to the intersection::
MO_Cutter says:
ACK! ::Looks at the TO:: TO: You broke it!
MO_Cutter says:
::Tries her controls::
EO_Davidson says:
TO: Wait.... You controls are off-line...Ummmm Keely Looks like your in the drivers seat.... Sharpe hope your life insurance is paid up
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: No response from the Pilot controls
EO_Davidson says:
::Laughs::
Coreena says:
CEO:  I only know the Hayden.  So I cannot brag.  ::Places a sharp curve in the track::
MO_Cutter says:
::Finds they work... oh lovely:: EO/TO: Shut the heck up
MO_Cutter says:
::Grits her teeth and does the pilot thing::
TO_Sharpe says:
EO/MO: aye but what a better person to get into an accident with...the MO
CEO_Michaels says:
::Looks over at what Coreena just put in and eyes widen::  Coreena: We do want to make sure we don't kill them you  know...
CMO_Roxton says:
::Sees a new blip on the console..  What in the..  That wasn't there before!::  CTO: Wall, less than a click ahead, hard right should clear it
EO_Davidson says:
::Yells after her:: MO: What I say!?!!
MO_Cutter says:
::Takes a quick curve::
Host Klordy says:
Action: with a lot of grinding and Gnashing noises the Car starts going
MO_Cutter says:
::Yells:: EO: Life insurance!
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Veers sharply:: CMO: Thanks....
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: Shift the gears!! Shift!!!
EO_Davidson says:
::Reads the telemetry::
MO_Cutter says:
TO: err... oops?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: If I didn't know any better I'd say he was trying to kill me...
CMO_Roxton says:
CTO: Or me...
EO_Davidson says:
::Cringes at the grinding of gears::
MO_Cutter says:
::Keeps going... starting to have a bit of fun... speeds up and starts grinning::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Mumbles, Bloody wonderful this sardine can is gonna be my coffin::
Coreena says:
CEO:  From the design of the vehicle it should not be a problem.  However, I admit, I am not familiar with the CMO whom is driving.  Should I lessen the obstacles?
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: She's taking those curves too quickly, always going up on two wheels like that, it's actually slower that way than slowing down a bit...either we're going to have to change the way we drive, or see if we can't get that handling better.
MO_Cutter says:
::Hears the TO and takes another curve... HARD and slams the TO against the side:: TO: That'll learn ya!
TO_Sharpe says:
::Doesn’t move because he's already Jammed into the compartment::
Coreena says:
CEO:  What if you lower the coach area?
CMO_Roxton says:
::Remembers a video he pulled up from the computer in preparation::  CTO: You might want to slow down going into the curves, then accelerate out of the turn...
EO_Davidson says:
*MO*:Take it easy...the RPM's are getting a little high....Don’t want the thing to blow mid race
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: No...Not yet at least, the harder we test it the better we know what it can take.  Through in some rough spots, pot holes and the like.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Veers around another curve, slowing down a bit:: CMO: For now, that'll have to do...
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: And widen the wheelbase.
Host Klordy says:
Action: A tire blows out on the CTO's car
MO_Cutter says:
::Grins... slow down?  Not freaking likely.  It's a race after all!::
Coreena says:
::Blinks a bit embarrassed::  CEO:  What is a 'pothole'?
CEO_Michaels says:
*CTO*: Take it easy around those curves, we'll work on improving the design later, but for now, keep all 4 wheels on the ground.
MO_Cutter says:
::Starts playing some more... moves the car all over the road::
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*: Sir...how goes it over there??
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Grips the wheel as they spin out, using every ounce of strength to keep control:: self: DAMN!
TO_Sharpe says:
::Laughs out loud enjoying himself::
Coreena says:
::Places a steep dip with a short distance.::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Shakes his head and programs it into the computer for her::  Coreena: On paved roads, weather can cause sinkholes to form.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: Tire just blew out...  ::hops out to inspect the damage::
Host Klordy says:
Action: the MO's car gets tangled up in the roadside gravel and spins out of control
MO_Cutter says:
::Giggles:: TO: I have to get Jason to get me one of these things.  This is fun!
CMO_Roxton says:
::oh ya..  My staff & I will DEFINATELY be busy after this race::
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: Bloody HELL!!!!!
MO_Cutter says:
::Swears and tries to pull the car back::
Coreena says:
CEO:  Ahhh...::Thinks for a moment.::
CEO_Michaels says:
*CMO*: Everything all right out there?
EO_Davidson says:
*MO/TO*: You two okay?? Everything all right?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
Team: Gang we are gonna have to find something stronger for the tires, if they blew on paved road, there's no telling what ice, snow and mountains will do to them....
MO_Cutter says:
::Grits her teeth and keeps fighting the car::
CMO_Roxton says:
*CEO* So far..  The navigation system seems to be operating as expected
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: You tell 'em!
Host Klordy says:
Action: a red light blinks on the EO's console indicating the theoretical death of the two passengers
CMO_Roxton says:
CTO: All right.  Runs a diagnostic on the navigation systems::
CEO_Michaels says:
*CMO*: Well that's good, at least when you're lying in a crumpled heap, you'll know where you are.
MO_Cutter says:
*EO*: Um. Starfleet regrets to inform you that your pilots are dead because they were having too much fun?
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*: We're All fine here, How're ya?
Coreena says:
CEO:  We can change the material of the tires to a denser material.  That might assist in balance of it as well.
EO_Davidson says:
::Sighs:: Computer....reset program....what was the cause of the crash?
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: heh aye
CEO_Michaels says:
*CTO*: There's spares on board, replace it and keep going...I'll check the computer records to verify what caused that...in the meantime I'm working on some new material that may work.
Host Klordy says:
<Computer> the vehicle exceeded design specifications
CTO_Kostandinos says:
*CEO* Aye, Sir. ::Hauls out the spare, which is almost as large as she is::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Finds himself back at the Start with a new vehicle::
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: well want to fix my controls?
CEO_Michaels says:
Computer: Determine cause of tire blowout.
MO_Cutter says:
::Pouts:: TO: I was doing fine until that gravel came out of nowhere
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: aye me too, this time Ill drive
MO_Cutter says:
::Mumbles about attack gravel::
EO_Davidson says:
*MO*: Never heard that one...Next time don’t push the racer so hard. It exceeded the design tolerances, Keely you have to be ready of rapid changes of terrain...Sharpe...Your turn
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Curve out the track a bit, nothing too sharp, just keep them guessing as to where they're going next.
MO_Cutter says:
::Grumbles:: Spoilsport
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: can you make it a bit bigger so I can fit?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: Get the jack out and get the car up off the pavement, then we can replace the tire ::huffing under the weight of the thing::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the Risan CTO::  CTO: Need a hand with that?
CEO_Michaels says:
<Computer> Material temperature exceeded operable levels.
Coreena says:
::Points to a diagram::   CEO:  Here, the cars design places more pressure on the tire, creating an imbalance that makes it easier for flats.
MO_Cutter says:
*EO* If we don't push it how are we going to win??
CMO_Roxton says:
::Hops out and grabs what should be the jack, based on pictures, and begins to use as instructed from the manual::
EO_Davidson says:
Computer: Increase the size of the racer cab by 2 percent
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Grins:: CMO: I thought you'd never ask ::allows him to take one side of it so they can carry it together over to the wheel base::
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: Sahr?
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*Sir...how goes it over there??
Coreena says:
::Changes the program of the track, making it 'look' easy.::
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: Can ya make it a wee bit bigger?
EO_Davidson says:
Computer: Another 2 percent
MO_Cutter says:
::Swings her legs around in all the extra leg space she has::
CEO_Michaels says:
*CTO/CMO*: You two'll have to do this a lot faster come race day.  The tire blew because it got too hot, you're going to have to stop running at maximum velocity all the time, the full output of that engine is only meant to be used in spurts.
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: thank you!
CMO_Roxton says:
::Completes the use of the jack and assists the CTO with the massive tire::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Presses the ignition switch::
EO_Davidson says:
::Nods:: TO: Kick It,,,,and remember to shift? ::Looks at the MO::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Releases the clutch and slams on the accelerator::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Shifts to second::
Host Klordy says:
Action: the Jack trips and the car settles to the ground
MO_Cutter says:
::Sticks out her tongue at the receding figure of the EO::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Thinks 'Thank you captain obvious':: CEO: Aye, Sir.
MO_Cutter says:
TO: Show off
CMO_Roxton says:
*CEO* Come race day, I intend on being a member of the support team, unless I'm told otherwise
EO_Davidson says:
*MO*: Careful of the birds will poop on it ::laughs::
Coreena says:
CEO:  The design needs to be altered about so... ::Makes a slight change.::  And what about using this material for the tires.  It was used for your lunar rovers on the moon.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the CTO and barely manages to restrain a laugh, but can't fight back the grin::
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Fail their navigation computer once they're halfway through; throw in some city-like roads and intersections.
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: Smiles, Me grandfather on my Fathers side was an antique car collector, had a 1967 Mustang
MO_Cutter says:
::The birds will...?  Wonders what drugs the EO stole from sickbay::
Coreena says:
::Places four deep potholes near together, but far enough for them to swerve around.::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Mumbles about the jack and resets it, raising the car back up::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Sidelong smirk at the CMO, knowing since he's Betazoid he knew what she was thinking::
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Ok...but we'll have to modify that some, it's fine for rough terrain, but it'll be slow as molasses on paved roads.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Still accelerating and shifting at the appropriate times::
Coreena says:
::Considers... city type road... city type road... hasn't seen very many.::
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*: Sir...how goes it over there??
MO_Cutter says:
TO: Who is worried?  I just want to have all the fun is all.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Makes sure they lock the jack in place this time, and goes to lift the tire onto the wheel base::
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: oh aye we will ::pushes the car harder, testing her limits::
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*: works like a dream now sahr.
CEO_Michaels says:
::Programs it in for Coreena again::  Coreena: Lots of parallel running roads, creating intersections and boxes, one way in, lots of ways to get lost, and one way out.
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*: Good job Sharpe.... nice and steady...watch the RPM's
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the jack, daring it to fail again, ready to reset it before it can manage to ruin the hard work::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Shifts::
CEO_Michaels says:
*EO*: It could be better, but at least we haven't crashed yet.
MO_Cutter says:
::Doesn’t think that’s fair.  When she tested the limits the damn thing broke.  Stupid technology!::
Coreena says:
CEO:  Lost?  ::Smiles::  I can do that.
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*: Well I have lost two pilots all ready.... Care to race us?
Host Klordy says:
Action: the computer changes the terrain for the TO's car to a blizzard
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Sets the tire onto the wheel base and gets the nuts holding it on, handing two of them to the CMO:: CMO: Screw these on, then we'll be in good shape
TO_Sharpe says:
::Slows immediately, flips on the lights::
CEO_Michaels says:
*EO*: I hope they're holographic ones...and considering we're still redesigning, I don't think we're quite ready to race.
Coreena says:
::Looks at what the CEO programmed in and makes a few minor adjustments that would frustrate one who likes mazes::
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*: Just on the holodeck sir...just to test in race conditions
CMO_Roxton says:
::Nods and takes the screws, quickly screwing them where they belong::
Host Klordy says:
Action: the CTO's tire is fixed and they are back in the car
CMO_Roxton says:
::Fastens the belts::  CTO: Ready again?
CEO_Michaels says:
::Chuckles at her additions::  Coreena: Well, at the very least it'll imprint in their minds that they can't always rely on the navigation system, let them get into that mess, and the shut it down.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: Let's fire it up ::Turns the ignition, throws it in gear and is off again... a bit slower to take pity on their insufficient tires::
CEO_Michaels says:
*EO*: Don't think we're ready yet Lt.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Using the computers map as a guide and the onboard sensors he speeds up a bit more::
Host Klordy says:
Action: the TO's car develops a bad skip
MO_Cutter says:
::Holds on... deciding that snow sucks::
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*: I didn't say you were not ready.... I just thought that you guys would like to see how a winning team drives
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: The navigation system should plot out the correct course, but we'll both have to keep a lookout for obstacles.
Coreena says:
CEO:  Are there supposed to be people on these roads?
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Prepare the next phase for after they get out of here, rocky desert, throw in a large oasis so they have to go over water.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the map, memorizing it quickly::  CTO: Alright, you have a rather large ::understatement:: dip coming up..  At the current speed, we will go air born and slam into a pothole.
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*: Something’s wrong with the engine...
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::keeping balance between necessary speed and necessary caution,::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Slows for the dip:: CMO: That good?
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*: Stop and take a look.... could be miss firing spark plug or something
CMO_Roxton says:
::Double checks::  CTO: Should be..  As soon as you land, you will need to zigzag to avoid potholes.  Easiest course seems to be starting to your left.
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at the TO:: TO: Do YOU have any idea of what he just said?
TO_Sharpe says:
::Stops the car and hops out, pops the hood open::
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: not a clue
MO_Cutter says:
::Sighs:: TO: Perfect
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Gets through the dip, and veers left:: CMO: Gotcha, just tell me where to go
MO_Cutter says:
*EO* Right.  We'll get right on that.  As soon as we figure out what the heck you're talking about.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Opens the hood and takes a look::
Coreena says:
::Watches as they make it through the dip and waits for them to weave through the potholes.::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Eyes the size of the potholes and thinks "Geez, he is trying to kill me..."::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Snickers::  CTO: We should clear them in a moment..  ::Updates the maps and checks them again::
Coreena says:
::Watches the whole proceeding with curiosity.::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Looks in and sees stuff he has never seen before::
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks and doesn't see anything special:: TO: How do we tell what's broken?
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*:Sharpe...first thing watch it because the engine will be hot.... look for something with wires going to it.... do you see it?
Coreena says:
::Considers as they approach the maze of streets.::
MO_Cutter says:
TO: It all looks kinda messed up to me
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Veers around more potholes::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Burns his hand:: Youch! Thanks for the warning.... EO: aye I do
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: What comes after these bottomless pits…err I mean sinkholes?
MO_Cutter says:
::Smirks:: TO: Well that's gonna leave a mark.
Coreena says:
::As they pass the potholes, she shuts down the navigational computer and quickly changes the maze.::
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*:  One o' the tubes has ice all over it.
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*: Carefully take it off...Keely grab the spare spark plugs from the equipment pack. Yeah that would be the one
CMO_Roxton says:
::Bloody worthless piece of technology!::  CTO: Seems like a maze..  Lovely time for the nav systems to fail
TO_Sharpe says:
::Carefully removes the tube
CMO_Roxton says:
CTO: Did we get the raised seat with the bubble in the roof installed and passed the safety checks?  We'll need to do this by eyeball's...
Host Klordy says:
Action: it is getting very cold in the MO's car
MO_Cutter says:
::Again with the monkey doing arithmetic impression::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Shivers::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: Yes, and even if not, the holodeck safeties are on ::Grins:: So go for it, navigator
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*: Check the fuel...check the lines...
MO_Cutter says:
::Shivers:: TO: It's getting damn cold in here....
TO_Sharpe says:
    *EO*: aye it tis, EO: the heaters broken too
CMO_Roxton says:
::Grabs a map or three and counts to 3, then unstraps and flips over the seat into the bubble area and takes a look around::
Coreena says:
::Programs an individual crossing their path::
CMO_Roxton says:
CTO: Ya know, got a revision for our bubble backup...
MO_Cutter says:
::Shivers some more, rubbing her hands together::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
Self: DAMN! ::Swerves to avoid the pedestrian, then lays on the horn and mutters a few more unmentionables::
EO_Davidson says:
Computer: Reset the program but leave the car the way it is
MO_Cutter says:
TO: Freezing was NOT in the game plan
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: And what would that be?
Coreena says:
::Jumps in surprise::  CEO:  What was that?
TO_Sharpe says:
::Checks the fuel lines::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Fixes it::
CEO_Michaels says:
*CTO/CMO*: Ok by now, you've realized you're blind; let's see how you do following directions.  .5 klicks to the north there's a fork, take the east side.
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*: all set sahr,
TO_Sharpe says:
::Presses the ignition switch again::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Barely avoids slamming into the side of the bubble as he completes fastening himself in::  CTO: Better restraints for one..  But a viewing lens of some kind with magnification
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Thinks 'You hate me, you really do' but says nothing:: CEO: Aye, Sir.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Hears the CEO::  CTO: Is he always this annoying?
EO_Davidson says:
::Sighs:: MO/TO: I think we have some design problems to work out....suggestions?
Coreena says:
::Adds a traffic jam at a major intersection.::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: Sorry, they put a pedestrian in our path...  as for the CEO; you don't want to get me started.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Presses the accelerator, and shifts::
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*: aye, stick with a modern Fuel source
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Thinks since he can pick her brain remotely with his Betazoid powers, he knows what she's talking about::
CMO_Roxton says:
::eek..  Apparently not::  CTO: Noted..  Best I can tell, the fork is coming up, take a left
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*: Bring her on back...both of them.... the care and the MO.
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*: Of course sahr.
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: After they find away around the traffic, open the course out onto a desert.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CMO: got it ::Takes the east side of the fork, listening all the way for more directions::
MO_Cutter says:
::Makes a cutesy face and them scowls:: Self: Damn smart ass men
TO_Sharpe says:
::Turns the car around and heads back::
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Make sure the sand is thick enough that they need to pull out the treads.
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: wow, watta jerk he is.
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*: Did you say something ensign?
MO_Cutter says:
TO: Did I say that? Oh no. Not me... ::Sweetly and then rolls her eyes::
Host Klordy says:
Action: a Hydraulic line bursts and sprays the TO with oil
Coreena says:
::Nods::
TO_Sharpe says:
*EO*: Nay sir I didn’t
Coreena says:
::Nods her head slowly and begins programming the next set of parameters::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Sputters::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Slows to avoid rear-ending the traffic in their way:: CMO: So we DID need weapons on this thing after all.... ::Grins::
TO_Sharpe says:
Aloud: Ack!
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Oh, and give them back their nav computer...it won't do them any good anyhow.
MO_Cutter says:
::Yelps and turns away from TO::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Laughs::  CTO: I think I have a pocket phaser in my jumpsuit, but I doubt it would help much in this case.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Brings his hands up to wipe it away from his eyes::
Coreena says:
::Switches the nav computer back on::
EO_Davidson says:
*TO*: I will pretend I did not hear that then ::taps a few buttons and programs the drive train to break and engine blow::
MO_Cutter says:
TO: Power steering is offline.... now what hotshot?
TO_Sharpe says:
::Hauls the wheel hard over::
Coreena says:
::Puts in deep fine sands as well as coarse, along with the oasis.::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Clears the traffic... finally... and gets out into the next part of the course, wondering what wonderful little surprises come next::
MO_Cutter says:
::Grabs the restraints to keep from hurting herself:: TO: I had to ask
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: Jus' put a wee bit o' muscle into it
CMO_Roxton says:
CTO: It's all right though.  The CEO has to get a physical sometime.  ::Grins with an evil glint in his eye::
MO_Cutter says:
::Flexes and then grins:: TO: Maybe I'll leave that up to you then He-Man
EO_Davidson says:
::Has the computer blow a tire out::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Thinks "ooh, can I help?"::
TO_Sharpe says:
::stops the car back with the EO:
Host Klordy says:
Action: the steering wheel comes off in the TO hands
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: He-man?
MO_Cutter says:
::Gasps:: TO: Oh bloody hell!
Coreena says:
CEO:  Might I try 'driving' this coarse sometime?
TO_Sharpe says:
TO: ummm ught oh ::looks at the wheel
CMO_Roxton says:
::Laughs and nods::  CTO: Sure, didn't your record indicate you previously were a MO?
EO_Davidson says:
TO: I said bring her back in one piece.... now the captain is going to kill me. I broke her
