Host Jamie_O says:  <<<<<BEGIN Mission>>>>>

TO-McIntyre says:  ::sitting at the helm, checking sensors for Klingon ship::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::sitting in center chair on the bridge::

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::On Bridge, running LRS sweep of system in preparation for our rendezvous.::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::in her quarters waiting for the doctor to call her down for her physical:: Self: It will be good to finally get this over with.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::fidgets in his seat, leans over to Patrick:: XO: Did she have to make us wear these monkey suits?

SO_Praed says:  ::Zooming up the turbolift, already wearing his dress uniform just in case he didn't find the time to put it on for the reception.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::checks a few last things in the new work area and prepares to head for the bridge::

MO_Thoren says:  ::looks at the padd:: *CO*: You said to call you for your physical.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CNS: Varesh you know how captains are when it comes to these things.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *MO*: Thank you doctor, on my way.

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: So far we are clear to the rendezvous point.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::grins:: XO: right you are.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Acknowledged Tio.

SO_Praed says:  ::Arrives on the bridge and begins to look around for Lieutenant Santiago, but doesn't find her.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  TO: ETA please Randi.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::heads to sickbay::

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: Security in position for the reception, Type III Phasers as a show of force for our guests.  Not sure if it will impress them or not, but unarmed may insult them.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::steps into the new office and changes into dress whites:: Self: This is totally preposterous...dress whites! ::takes a quick check in the mirror and heads out::

MO_Thoren says:  ::Calls up the CO's records::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: I will leave that in your hands.... but I don't want anyone getting over zealous.

TO-McIntyre says:  XO:  12 minutes Sir

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::steps through the sickbay doors:: MO: I'm here doctor. Where would you like me?

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: From us or them?

CNS_Varesh says:  ::sees the new person and gets up, walks over and nods pleasantly:: SO: Can I help you?

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Either.

XO_O`Guinn says:  TO: Acknowledged.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::gets on the TL still muttering and requests the bridge::

SO_Praed says:  ::Sees an officer.::  CNS:  Ensign Erasmus Praed reporting for duty sir.

MO_Thoren says:  ::indicates a biobed:: CO: There is fine.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles:: SO: Thanks for calling me that, but I'm the counselor. You need to report to that man. ::points to Patrick:: Lt. Santiago is not on duty at the moment, so Commander O'Guinn is the man you need to talk to.

TO-McIntyre says:  CTO:  I have what appears to be a Klingon ship on sensors, do you confirm?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::smiles and hops up onto the biobed:: MO: Thank you for seeing me so quickly doctor.

XO_O`Guinn says:  TO: Go to impulse Randi.

CTO_Ayidee says:  *Security*: Keep calm, but alert.  Be ready for trouble, not the source of it.

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods at the Counselor and then walks over to the XO.::  XO:  Ensign Praed reporting for duty, sir.

TO-McIntyre says:  XO: Aye Sir ::dropping out of warp and initiating impulse::  We are now at full impulse Sir.

MO_Thoren says:  CO: You're quite welcome. It's good when a captain sets an example for the rest of the crew. ::smiles and runs the med tricorder over the captain::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::steps off the TL onto the bridge...sees a new face and nods...walks over and takes the OPS station::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles to himself, and walks back to his seat::

CTO_Ayidee says:  TO: Confirmed, Two ships at the rendezvous point, on schedule.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  MO: You know, these examinations aren't really so bad.

XO_O`Guinn says:  SO: Welcome aboard Mr. Praed. Please take your station for now we will get to the formal stuff in a bit.

XO_O`Guinn says:  TO: Acknowledged Randi.

SO_Praed says:  XO:  Aye sir.  I wasn't certain if I would have time to put on my dress uniform, which is why I am wearing it now.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::sits down checking over everything::

CNS_Varesh says:  XO: Are you ready to meet them?

MO_Thoren says:  MO: Yes I know but there are those that try to procrastinate. You seem to be in perfect health. Any headaches?

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::sits back in chair:: SO: That is fine ensign.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Any signs of our guest?

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods and goes to the Science Station, a little anxious to get started.::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  MO: No headaches doctor.

MO_Thoren says:  CO: That's good to hear

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: They are on sensors at the rendezvous point, no other ships to note yet.

MO_Thoren says:  CO: You can leave now.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Acknowledged. CIV: Try hailing them.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::looks at the MO:: MO: That's it?

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Aye. ::opens hailing frequency::

MO_Thoren says:  CO: Yes.

SO_Praed says:  ::Starts to look at sensors for anything out of the ordinary.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  COM: Targ: This is the USS Huron respond please.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  :;hops down:: MO: Not bad at all. Thanks doctor, see you at the reception later?

MO_Thoren says:  CO: Yes.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::smiles and leaves sickbay::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::taps fingers waiting for the Targ to respond::

SO_Praed says:  ::Checks the readings on the IKS Targ and the IKS K'Rap.::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::leans back in his chair::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::enters the TL tugging on her uniform:: Self: I knew I should have waited to put this on.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TL: Bridge!

Klorets says:  @COM: Huron: This is Captain Klorets of the IKS Targ, your late., where is Captain.

Host Jamie_O says:  ACTION: the Protecteur and Huron approach the Targ and K'rap

MO_Thoren says:  ::heads to her quarters to go ahead and change into her formal uniform, quickly::

SO_Praed says:  ::Hears the Klingon and raises his eyebrow.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  COM: Targ: The captain is on her way.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: I have it Shannon.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: All yours Patrick. ::shakes head::

Klorets says:  @COM: Huron: I would hope she would have enough honor to greet us herself.

TO-McIntyre says:  ::notices the crew tugging at their collars, glad she had her dress whites made larger to accommodate extras::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::leans against the side of the TL examining the ceiling:: Self: Hmm, seems to be something out of place there.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Enters Bridge, adjusts tunic::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::mutters under her breath about Klingon’s and their ideas::

CTO_Ayidee says:  All: Admiral on the Bridge.

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: Targ: Captain Klorets I am Lt. Cmdr. O'Guinn Executive Officer of the Huron.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  All: as you were

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::snaps too then relaxes:: RADM: Sir. ::nods::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::spots the Admiral and gets up to offer him his seat:: ADM: Sir...

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CTAC: Protecteur along side Commander?

SO_Praed says:  ::Presses a few buttons on his console and then looks around, seeing a young girl at Tactical, and a young woman at the Engineering station.  He then thinks about what Mrs. Price had talked about.  A 'big sister' for Sala.::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::looks closely at the walls and floor::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Enters the Center area:: CNS: that's okay Varesh

Klorets says:  @COM: O'Guinn: When your Captain is through using the facilities, maybe we can get underway.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  COM: Targ: I am Rear Admiral Skyler

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Self: I don't like the look of this one little bit.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::looks up at the view screen:: Self: Inconsiderate... ::bites tongue::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Tries his best to read the Klingon::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::sits down again::

Klorets says:  @COM: Skyler: Finally they send a Warrior to greet us, we are anxious to get underway Admiral.

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: Klorets: She is on the way, but in the mean time I would like to extend an invitation to a reception on the Huron.

TO-McIntyre says:  ::snickers at Shannon's thought, bending over she whispers to Shannon::  CIV:  And you expected something different?

SO_Praed says:  ::Picks up a PADD that Lt. Santiago left behind.  He reads down the list seeing some jobs he had to do.  One of them was to look at the malfunction in Science Lab Three.::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  COM: Targ: Very Well Captain.  Captain Sheridan has asked me to act in her absence. she has formally invited you to dinner aboard the Huron at 1700 hours.

MO_Thoren says:  ::stiffly walks to sickbay in her dress uniform, quite happy that they are not comfortable::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::whispers:: TO: Randi I just don't like their attitudes...and I really don't want to go to this reception.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::gets down on her knees and rubs an area at the bottom of the wall:: Self: Claw marks?

Klorets says:  @::Ignoring the XO:: COM: Skyler: On behalf of my senior crew I accept.

SO_Praed says:  XO:  Sir, permission to proceed to Science Lab Three with an engineer to repair the malfunction to the computer.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::shoots a glance over his shoulder, wondering where Serena could be::

TO-McIntyre says:  CIV:  Shannon, I don't think any of us want to go... I have heard their table manners leave a lot to be desired ::frowning::

XO_O`Guinn says:  SO: Granted.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::stands and waits for the TL doors to open::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  COM: Targ: Underway. Once you fall in with us and our escort, we will get underway. Skyler out

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::motions for OPS to close channel::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  TO: Their whole mannerisms leave a lot to be desired. But we do what we are ordered. ::smirks and then grins at Randi::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::closes the channel::

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods and takes a PADD.::  EO:  Ensign, would you like to help me to repair the computer in Science Lab Three?

TO-McIntyre says:  ::giggles quietly::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  XO: where's Sheridan?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::enters the bridge and sees the Admiral:: ADM: Sir.

XO_O`Guinn says:  RADM: For a race that thrives on honor they do have a habit of being rude sir.

Klorets says:  @COM: Skyler: Lead on Admiral, Klorets out.

EO_Hansen says:  ::looks up::  SO:  Of course.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  XO: Never mind...she decided to show up after all...

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: as you were captain

CNS_Varesh says:  ::gives a stage whisper:: CO: You missed all the fun.

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods and waits for the EO.::

Klorets says:  @KFCO: Match course and speed with the Huron.

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: Honor on their own terms, Patrick.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ADM: Yes sir, sorry I was delayed.

EO_Hansen says:  ::gets to her feet and heads to the TL::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: It looks that way.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Honor! ::scoffs:: Just their excuse for a bad attitude.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::turns to Patrick:: XO: Status Commander?

SO_Praed says:  ::Walks to the Turbolift with the EO.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CO: The Targ and the K'rap are coming along side now ma'am.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: you're excused. ::smiles::

SO_Praed says:  Computer:  Deck Nine, Science Lab Three.

TO-McIntyre says:  ::is doing her best not to laugh out loud, last time almost got her in trouble::

Klorets says:  @<KFCO>::Matches course and speed with the Huron, making distance equal to optimal disruptor range::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Walks up to Flight:: TO: what do you make of that?

CNS_Varesh says:  (((TO: Good control. I'm impressed.)))

Host CO_Sheridan says:  XO: Thank you Commander. Did you extend the invitation?

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::looks over at Randi:: TO: Don't even go there Randi! ::grins and winks::

TO-McIntyre says:  Adm:  Make of what Sir?

XO_O`Guinn says:  CO: Aye ma'am as well did the Admiral.

TO-McIntyre says:  (((CNS:  Thanks!)))

Host RADM_Skyler says:  TO: Their stance and formation... (((I'd keep your eyes open and a passive lock)))

Host CO_Sheridan says:  XO: Excellent, and did they accept?

SO_Praed says:  ::Looks over to the EO slightly, seeing that she is not saying anything, not even moving.. looking like a statue even.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CO: Yes ma'am.

TO-McIntyre says:  ADM:  Well sir, I don't like their attitude, and I don't trust this particular one.

EO_Hansen says:  ::stands quietly, not really an overly social person::

XO_O`Guinn says:  TO: Set course for Starbase 71 Randi.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Glances over at CTO::

TO-McIntyre says:  (((Adm:  Aye Sir, you don't have to ask me twice.)))

CNS_Varesh says:  ::glances back and forth between the TO and Adm::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  XO: What would I do without you Patrick? ::smiles and heads for her chair::

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO/ XO: For what it's worth, they are holding position in prime Disruptor range.  Keeping an eye on their weapons, and I'll let you know if they arm them.

SO_Praed says:  ::The turbolift stops and the doors swoosh open.  He waits for the EO to leave first, as a gentlemanly gesture.::

TO-McIntyre says:  XO:  Aye Sir, already set and ready to go to warp on the CO's command. ::reaches over and checks the weapons status::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::reads over several reports and monitors communications::

SO_Praed says:  EO:  After you..

EO_Hansen says:  ::steps off the TL and heads towards the science lab, waiting momentarily for the SO to catch up::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::glances at the captain:: CO: Ma'am what do you think?

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CIV: Is there a way you can let the Protecteur know without alarming our Klingon guests Commander?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::looks over at Randi:: TO: What is our present course and speed please?

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::looks up:: RADM: Sorry sir...let them know what?

SO_Praed says:  ::Walks alongside the EO::  EO:  I am Erasmus Praed.

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Ma'am, we are at full impulse, heading to SB 71.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CIV: the Klingon's posturing....

MO_Thoren says:  ::Checks on things in sickbay::

EO_Hansen says:  ::smiles slightly at him::  SO:  Nice to meet you.  I'm Victoria Hansen.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  XO: Commander, let's move it up a notch or two shall we?

CIV_O`Guinn says:  RADM: I can open a secure channel...but if their captain and crew are what they are cooked up to be they should have picked up on it already.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CO: Aye ma'am.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TO: Thank you Ensign

Klorets says:  @<KFCO> Klorets: Course and speed matched, we are at the range you requested.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CIV: I'll let your Captain make the call on that one

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Yes Ma’am, shall I go to warp?

CTO_Ayidee says:  RADM: And with the Klingon preference for openness, secret communication may not be a good idea.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::nods and goes back to my work::

SO_Praed says:  ::Arrives at Sci Lab 3 and waits for the EO to enter.::  EO:  Likewise.  I must say I'm a little nervous this time around on a Federation Starship.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CTO: noted

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TO: If you please Ensign, warp 6.

EO_Hansen says:  ::walks into the science lab::  SO:  Why's that?

CTO_Ayidee says:  RADM: If a Klingon considers whispers rude, what would they think about doing that?

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Shall we notify the Klingon’s and P that we are going to warp first?

Klorets says:  @KFCO: Excellent, keep us exactly at this range, not on meter more, we shall see how easily this Captain Sheridan rattles.

SO_Praed says:  ::Follows the EO::  EO:  I didn't have a good experience onboard my last posting.. and certain things.... happened.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TO: I suppose we must.

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  I'm sorry to hear that.

TO-McIntyre says:  CIV:  You are up Shannon, let them know our intentions.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CIV: Commander, please advise the Klingon’s.

SO_Praed says:  EO:  Well it wasn't their crew's fault.. I had family affairs to take care of.  I am lucky to have found another posting so quickly.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CTO: right

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::nods:: TO: Yes I guess I have to let them know. ::grins mischievously::

Klorets says:  @KOPS: Notify the K'Rap to follow flight pattern K2.

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  Hopefully you'll have better experiences here.

CNS_Varesh says:  CO: So how long until we're actually required to appear in public like this? ::points at his dress uniform::

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Runs Level 5 Personnel sweep to ensure no Braje are around unannounced.::

TO-McIntyre says:  ::thinks this shift is going to get her reprimanded yet, stifling a giggles::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  COM: Targ and Protecteur: Going to warp 6 please adjust.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CNS: Not comfortable counselor?

TO-McIntyre says:  ::waits for their response, finger on her console::

Klorets says:  @<KOPS> COM: Huron: Acknowledged

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::smiles sarcastically::

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Ma’am, permission to go to warp 6?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TO: Engage when ready.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::nods at Randi::

SO_Praed says:  ::Takes out his tricorder and scans the room for the faulty computer.::  EO:  I hope so too.  In my life I have met people who fear me, some who just care nothing for me.. I’ve met very few who actually want to be my friends.. thus I have a difficult time making friends.  And to add to all that I have to take care of my younger sister Sala.  That..

CNS_Varesh says:  CO: Who me? Of course I am, high collars and scratchy decorations is what I live for.. ::makes sure she catches his sarcastic mental tone::

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Ma’am, engaging warp engines now ::tapping her console, feeling the shift in power::

SO_Praed says:  EO:  ...in itself is a difficult task.

EO_Hansen says:  ::almost laughs::  SO:  Taking care of your sister is difficult?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TO: At present speed what is our ETA?

Klorets says:  @<KFCO>::Taps the command for warp 6.1 moments after the Huron jumps to warp, brings it back down to match speed when they are once again in prime disruptor range::

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Ma’am, we are at warp 6.  ETA 16 hours.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::leans over and whispers to Varesh:: CNS: Not my idea of a fun time either counselor.

SO_Praed says:  ::Smiles a little and points to the computer at the far end of the lab.::  EO:  Well she will be maturing soon.. physically I mean..  and being a male, I’m not sure how to direct her through such a change in her life.

TO-McIntyre says:  CTO:  They are playing speed games Sir.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::grins and whispers back:: CO: Shall I get onto a new design... one that is actually comfortable?

CTO_Ayidee says:  TO: Just trying to see how we react I think.  Unless their weapons go hot, I'm not concerned.

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Ma’am, just my opinion, but I think this Klingon is trying to rattle us.

EO_Hansen says:  ::moves towards the faulty computer::  SO:  There are plenty of people here who would be more than willing to help.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CNS: Might be a good idea Varesh. ::giggles slightly::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles:: CO: I concur with Randi... something's not right, but it might be a test.

TO-McIntyre says:  ::looks over her shoulder and smiles at Varesh::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TO/CNS: A test you say?

SO_Praed says:  EO:  I have no doubt of that, but as her big brother, I must ensure that the person is perfect for the job.  I don't wish for her to be brought up by some lunatic.

CNS_Varesh says:  CO: Yes. They love testing each other all the time, and they might be doing the same to us.

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Yes Ma’am, I think the earthers call it chicken... see who flinches first.

SO_Praed says:  ::Kneels down beside the computer and scans it with a tricorder.::

EO_Hansen says:  ::has to laugh at that one::  SO:  Fair enough.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::listens to the conversations going on around and keeps a check on communications::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::looks over at the CTO:: CTO: Are the Klingon’s maintaining the same distance at all times?

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  I can return the favor Ma’am, what do you think?  ::grinning impishly::

SO_Praed says:  EO:  And to say the least, Takaran maturity changes are somewhat more different than those of Humans.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Aye ma'am, still at optimal disruptor range.

SO_Praed says:  ::Stands back up and presses on the console.  Suddenly sparks go flying out.::

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  I wouldn't know, unfortunately.

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::sits down in chair leaning back listens to the crew::

EO_Hansen says:  ::jumps back at the sparks::

CTO_Ayidee says:  TO: I don't think that would be wise.  It's not our style to jump, so doing so now would be a failure and, at best, give them a good laugh.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  TO: I don't think so Ensign, please maintain course and speed for the time being.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Watches the crew in action::

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  Aye Ma’am.  ::thinks it would be fun to turn the tables on them::

SO_Praed says:  ::Sighs a little::  EO:  There aren't many that do know... I spent most of my time at the Academy at Starfleet Medical because they wanted to learn more about my species.  Believe me, they seem nice on the outside but the things they do to you in there are almost cruel.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Keep a close eye on them Commander, just in case.

Klorets says:  @ ::Nods at the KCTO::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::glances over at Skyler:: (((ADM: Impressed?)))

Host RADM_Skyler says:  (((CNS: They are certainly a sight to be seen.)))

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: If they choose to arm weapons, you will be the first to know.

MO_Thoren says:  ::Sighs and decides to head up to the bridge::

EO_Hansen says:  ::kneels down beside him to take a look at the console::  SO:  They're curious ... that's what Starfleet does.  Learn new things.  I'm not saying what they did was right, but I'm not saying it's wrong either because I don't know the situation.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles:: (((ADM: You sure can be proud... we've come a long way.)))

TO-McIntyre says:  ::giggles:: (((CTO:  She will be the second to know!)))

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::smiles to herself as she picks up Varesh's thought to the Admiral::

Klorets says:  @<KCTO>::Accidentally brushes the controls and gains an active weapons lock for exactly .25 seconds::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  (((CNS: Yes they are, they have done well.)))

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods and thinks while looking at his tricorder.::  EO:  It's as if the power has been drained from this specific area.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Now they are playing with targeting sensors.  Active weapons lock was maintained for .25 seconds, still not arming weapons, though.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Jumps in seat:: CTO: talk to me

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CIV: Shannon, any unusual communications from the Klingon ships?

MO_Thoren says:  ::steps onto the TL:: computer: Bridge

CIV_O`Guinn says:  CO: Nothing that I have picked up ma'am.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Are you sure Tio?

CTO_Ayidee says:  RADM: They are trying to make us jump, sir.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::frowns, gets up and goes to one of the empty consoles::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::stands up turning towards Tio::

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  Then where'd the sparks come from?

Host RADM_Skyler says:  COM: Protecteur: USS Protecteur, drop back and flank the Lead Klingon ship

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Aye ma'am, unless they have a way of blocking sensors we don't know about.  No signs of jamming, and no signs of weapons.

TO-McIntyre says:  Adm:  I agree with the CTO Sir... they are itching to make us do something foolish.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: Let's see what they do

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: It is vital that we not do anything to provoke them, understood?

CNS_Varesh says:  ADM/CO/XO: Its going to be a long trip if they are going to do that the whole time.

SO_Praed says:  EO:  I'm not sure... Shall we find out?

MO_Thoren says:  ::steps off the TL onto the bridge, happily standing uncomfortable in the back in her uniform::

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  That's probably a good idea.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Understood, and agreed.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::taps a few buttons on the console::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CO: Ma'am with them playing games should we get the bridge crew up here?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ADM: Sir, I don't like you playing games with our "friends."

CIV_O`Guinn says:  <w> TO: Games...that is what this is to them. Just a game.

Klorets says:  @<KCTO> Klorets: Protecteur dropping back taking up a flanking position

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ACTION: as the Protecteur draws back, the K'rap matches it's move

MO_Thoren says:  ::wonders what is going on here::

TO-McIntyre says:  <w> CIV:  Yes, but they don't know we aren't going to bite, nor let our guard down ::grinning again::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::pulls up the IKS Targ's specs:: Self: A little investigation is called for. ::studies the specs for a moment::

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Why don't we extend the invitation to come aboard again, invite them over now rather than wait.

SO_Praed says:  EO:  All right, grab your end, and we'll pull this off.  ::Grabs for the plating at the bottom of the console.::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  Self: Hmm.....

EO_Hansen says:  ::grabs the other end of the plating::  SO:  Ready when you are.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  XO: A sound idea Patrick, do it.

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods at Victoria and pulls at his side.::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::closes the console again and returns to his seat:: CO: Ma'am... shall I "see" what their intentions are? I think I have the range for it.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CO: Aye ma'am.

EO_Hansen says:  ::pulls the other end of the plating::

SO_Praed says:  ::Pulls the plating off.::  EO:  There we go, now let's see what's hiding in here.

MO_Thoren says:  ::thinks she understands:: CNS: I didn’t think Betazoids could read my kind, counselor.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CNS: Isn't that considered rude to a Fer...a Klingon?  I thought they hated telepathic inquiries.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO/CNS: We have to be careful dealing with them right now. One wrong move and well......

EO_Hansen says:  ::leans over and looks at the inside::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::taps comm badge:: *SO/EO*: Mr. Praed, Ms. Hansen to the bridge.

CNS_Varesh says:  CTO/CO: Surface thoughts... nothing else.

EO_Hansen says:  ::jumps at the comm, not expecting it::

CTO_Ayidee says:  CNS: We could just ask them outright.

SO_Praed says:  ::Hopes the EO didn't hit her head.::

SO_Praed says:  ::Gets up and taps his commbadge.::  *XO*:  On our way sir.

CNS_Varesh says:  CTO: You think they will answer that?

TO-McIntyre says:  CNS:  All they can do is avoid the question or answer it...

SO_Praed says:  EO:  I guess we'll have to finish this later.

EO_Hansen says:  ::leans back::  SO:  Looks that way.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: I don't know.  Doesn't their profile say they prefer direct questions to dancing about?

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ACTION: the K'rap cloaks momentarily

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CNS: Hold on the scans for now.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::nods:: CO: Aye, ma'am.

SO_Praed says:  ::Waits for the EO to leave the Science Lab.::

TO-McIntyre says:  CO:  One of the ships just cloaked briefly.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: The K'rap has engaged its cloaking device.

EO_Hansen says:  ::gets to her feet and heads to the TL::

MO_Thoren says:  ::walks around and stands in front of her chair::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  XO: Commander, let's see what the Klingon’s are up to. Have them hailed and let's chat shall we?

SO_Praed says:  ::Follows alongside the EO::  EO:  I wonder what's going on with the Klingon’s.  Maybe they found out that there was a Takaran onboard and they found offense to that?

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  Why would they take offense to that?

XO_O`Guinn says:  CO: Aye ma'am.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::leans back in his chair::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: Hail the Targ Shannon.

SO_Praed says:  EO:  The Klingon Empire and my people do not have.. shall we say.. 'good' diplomatic relations.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Aye Patrick. ::opens hailing frequencies::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  COM: Targ: This is the USS Huron please respond.

SO_Praed says:  Computer:  Bridge. ::The TL starts to zoom upwards.::

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  So they're risk their diplomatic relations with the Federation over it?  I highly doubt that.

Klorets says:  @<KOPS> Klorets: We are being hailed again, it is the XO.

SO_Praed says:  ::Shrugs::  EO:  The Klingon’s often act on impulse.  They'll act first then think after.

EO_Hansen says:  SO:  Sometimes, but I don't think that's the issue.

Klorets says:  @KOPS: Respond...

SO_Praed says:  ::Offers a smile to the EO.::  EO:  We'll just have to wait and see.

SO_Praed says:  ::The doors swoosh open again.::
