Mission Summary - “Those We Leave Behind, Part VIII”
	The Huron, being towed by the Bon Homme Richard, approaches Starbase 12, with their escort. Most of her systems are down, such as communications, impulse, warp, and thrusters... but the most critical systems are up. Now, it is time for the Starbase engineering team to perform miracles. However, as they nearly approach the Starbase, the Bon Homme Richard released their tractor beam, not realizing that the Huron has no ability to stop... and her momentum causes her to head directly for the Starbase, possibly crashing... the CTO hurries down to auxiliary control to purge the torpedo tubes of atmospheric pressure to somehow divert the Huron, while the EO tries to contact the Starbase, the Bon Homme Richard, anyone... but their communications systems are failing... The CTO, in a last ditch effort, accesses shuttle communications systems, to try to get a message out, and finally the Bon Homme Richard acknowledges the problem, and corrects their course... and the Huron prepares for docking and shut down, and to head for Starbase for some rest... 

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
Well it seems that the Huron is finally arriving at Starbase 12 for much needed repairs and a rest for her weary crew. She is under tow and looks like she’s been throw the proverbial wringer with the damage she’s suffered.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
The crew has been working feverishly to maintain the Huron’s systems, but all their efforts are barely able to hold her together. Boy does this ship need help!

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
As the Huron is towed towards the starbase, the Captain has ordered the crew to begin shutdown procedures and send him all their reports as well as prepare inventory lists for the operations officer. I hope someone remembered the extra supply of chocolate this time and the dog biscuits.

::sitting in her quarters as she watches the Huron approach Starbase 12::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::In Torpedo bays, unloading the casings to make the rebuild easier.::

CMO_Harek says:
::looks through the medical storage facilities, making a note of all the needed medications::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Gets out of bed, and gets dressed so he can work on the shields::

Host XO_Woo says:
::on the bridge, going over the damage and repair reports from across the ship::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::stands at the engineering console checking out the repair schedule::

CSO_Sky says:
::At the counselors door, activates the chimes.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Angeltra> *CTO*: We're almost to Starbase 12, you want to do the shutdown or should I?

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: At this rate, the Starbase crew isn't going to have much to do, you and your team have done good work on repairing the Huron.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO: Enter.

CMO_Harek says:
::looks for the levels of trianaline and notices the Huron is fresh out::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::grins::XO: Thank you Commander, but I think we have enough work to keep them busy for quite a while.

CSO_Sky says:
::Quietly enters the room, her eyes turning toward the counselor.::  CSN:  You look comfortable.

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: What's our ETA to Starbase 12?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*: What's the point?  Only Tactical system working is the shields.  Locking down non functional Phasers and Torpedoes?  No thanks, I'll keep with the strip out.  You can handle the Bridge at least as well as me.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Well, at least I don't have to been in that wheelchair in here... the CMO thinks I am a cripple or something!  ::grins::  How about you?  How did you manage through all of this?

CNS-McIntyre says:
<been-be>

CSO_Sky says:
::Walks over to Randi::  CNS:  I am... fine.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  There is something on your mind.  What is it?  ::concerned about Sierra;:

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::After getting dressed, he heads for the Shields department::

Host XO_Woo says:
<FCO_Marquette> XO: Oh... approximately one hour, I suppose, sir.

CMO_Harek says:
::makes a few final notes then heads for his office, stopping the main ward for a second:: All: Begin Sickbay lockdown procedures ::continues to his chair and sits::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Have a seat, and would you like something to drink?

CSO_Sky says:
::Her eyes shielded.::  CNS:  Not really... I mostly came by to see how you are.  You are not one to take inactivity lightly.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*EO*: We're finishing up emptying the torpedo bays, and other teams should have the diagnostics on the Phasers and Tractor beams and shields.  When the reports come in should I send them to you or to Starbase Engineering?

CSO_Sky says:
::Takes a seat::  CNS:  Vulcan spice tea please.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Well, I must be getting old!  ::gets up to make Sierra some tea, then turns to Sierra from the kitchen::  I don't seem to be healing as fast as I normally do.  But I made a promise, if I got a wheelchair, I would stay put.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Send them on to me lieutenant and a copy to the starbase as well.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to chuckle::  CSO:  If I didn't know better, I think the medical staff left me partially healed!

CSO_Sky says:
::Eyes the counselor::  CNS:  More like making sure you are fine.  You were under a lot of stress in the first place and then you were hurt.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  You you care to exam me Sierra?  ::grins at her::

CMO_Harek says:
::transfers his inventory requirements to the ships computers and then transmits them to the operations officer::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*EO*: Aye.  I'll have my teams provide what help they can.  They ain't the best Engineers, but they know the Tactical systems at least.

CSO_Sky says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CNS:  If you wish.  However, I have no intention of stepping on the doctors toes.  I relish inactivity even less then you.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Oh, and how long before my raccoon eyes disappear?  I look like an Orion Pirate! ::giggles::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  The newest fashion.  ::Takes a sip of her tea and places it on the table.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Well, I have a med kit over there ::points to her bookcase::  Might as well... My ribs are a touch to tender to suit me!

Host XO_Woo says:
::walks over to the science console and helps with repairs:: EO: Is the other pod giving any problems?

CSO_Sky says:
::Standing, moves over to the book case and picks up the medkit.  Opening it, she glances inside at the various instruments, pulling out a medscanner.::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::moves over to the first officer's chair and leans on the back::XO: Excuse me sir, but do you happen to know if the Captain is feeling better? I stopped by earlier but he didn't respond to my hails. Oh the other pod is seems to be holding for now, but will need to have some systems checked out at the starbase.

CSO_Sky says:
::Returns to Randi and activating he instrument, runs it along her chest area, reading the results on the med-tricorder.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::stands still so Sierra can scan her::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Decides to check on the emitter on the deck he is on first, as he walks over to the emitter he checks to see if he has universal leathermen::  Self: Blast! I forgot it again.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grabs the last torpedo casing, slings it onto his shoulder, and makes for the storage area.::  Self: OK, one job down, only about 157,234 to go.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Oh, the captain's very hardy. He's resting in his quarters. I'm sure he's feeling much better by now, but a metal rod impaled his leg. ::winks::

CSO_Sky says:
::She flips the unit close a hint of humor deep in her eyes::  CNS:  I have bad news for you.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Uh huh... and what is that?  ::grinning::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  You will live.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: The emitter next to the TO sparks as he looks it over and several sparks hit his face, causing some slight burns.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::snaps her fingers:: CSO:  What a shame!  And here I was hoping for a fine funeral with lots of mourners! ::beginning to laugh::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Looks up into the air:: Self: Why me!

CMO_Harek says:
::yells to one of the med techs:: Teil: Petty Officer, could you check all the triage centers and make sure we left nothing behind during cleanup

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::nods::XO: I'm sure with Roz keeping an eye on him, the Captain will be up and around in no time sir.

CSO_Sky says:
::Sits down, replacing the instruments into the kit::  CNS:  I meant that for the crew... as for you, your broken bones have been mended.  The soreness is from the bruises which are on their way to being healed.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  You are no fun!  Ok, your profession opinion Dr. Sierra!  How long do I have?  ::grinning:: Until I am fully functional again?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sets casing down in storage, moving into the TL.::  TL: Deck 5, Security Office.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Checks pockets again and this time finds the tool, he then tries to 'fix' the emitter::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: The Huron is now visible on station viewers and the sight is not a pretty one.

CMO_Harek says:
<Teil> CMO: Aye, Sir ::leaves sickbay::

CSO_Sky says:
::Her face serious::  CNS:  I think I must reassess the doctor.  I believe you are here so the crew can have some relief and get their jobs done.  As for you... another 12 hours would do you no harm.  If you truly wish something to do, I have a room full of children.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: That's right. I'm sure he'll be wide awake and alert to rest on the Starbase. ::smiles:: Hmm, there's a slight power drain on the port nacelle. Compensating... ::adjusts the power distribution systems:: ... I wish to apologize for my behavior last week, after the drill. I admit that I may have said some things of a... goading manner.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  No way Sierra!  I see enough of them with the Huron crew... What bribe do I need to offer you to get out of that?

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::looks at the XO and smiles::XO: I understand sir. I may have overreacted a little myself.

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  One would think that one who is not so far from childhood herself, would have great empathy for children.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters security office, picking his way through the overturned chairs, terminals, and equipment.::  Self: Me and my bright ideas.  "Leave the office for now, I'll clean it up when the Torp bays are done."

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO: I beg your pardon!  I am 19... that is a far sight from 5 to 10 thank you very much!

CSO_Sky says:
::Allowing the counselor to see the humor dancing in her eyes::  CNS:  I have one that is 13.  Does that help?

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::steps back to the engineering console and sends the repair report to the first officer's station::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::as he looks over the repaired emitter, he began to realize that there are some wires that weren't there before:: Self: Okay, now what do those do?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Hrumph!  Well I have to admit, you had me going there Sierra! Seriously though... I am sure some of their parents are alive and waiting for them.

Host XO_Woo says:
<FCO_Marquette> XO: ::sighs:: We're about half an hour out, sir... ::sits back, and grunts::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Starts picking things off the desk, realizing it's all scrap now anyhow.  Pushes the rest off, righting the computer terminal and reviews the repair status.::

CSO_Sky says:
::The smile vanishes from her eyes::  CSN:  We have three that are confirmed orphans.  That leaves 4 that we still have, as uncertain.  Susie is one of those confirmed.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  The one I got?  Is that who you are talking about? ::frowning::

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Thank you, Ens. Marquette... ::frowns at the overly-relaxed FCO:: ... A little tired, are we?

CMO_Harek says:
::tap his commbadge:: *CNS* How are you feeling?

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  Yes... she remembers you.

Host XO_Woo says:
<FCO_Marquette> ::quickly sits up straight:: XO: No, sir. Just... the Bon Homme Richarde is towing us...

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  Perhaps that is my cue to vanish.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CMO*:  I am fine Doctor.  Sierra just checked me out at my request, so you wouldn't have to make an unnecessary trip to my quarters.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smacks the side of the computer terminal, trying to get it to work.::  Self: Oh well, the Bridge terminals are working.  ::Looks around.::  I'll be back to this...later.

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Then you have nothing to worry about. But look alert anyways. ::smiles::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::moves over to the science console and takes a look at the broken access panel underneath::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Not really knowing what to do, he just closes the hatch to the emitter:: Self: I'll tell engineering about the extra wires, they'll know what to do.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Don't you dare go :;she whispers::

CMO_Harek says:
*CNS* Understood, counselor, if Sky is still there with you, tell her I'd like a report on you condition as soon as possible.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CMO*:  I will relay that message Doctor.  Thank you.  Randi out!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::After a slight trip on Bee's Fluorescent beverage sign, broken on the floor, exits the room and makes for the Bridge.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Well you heard!  Sorry I got you into this.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: I am going to go to make my rounds, check on Sickbay and the torpedo bay. You have the bridge, lieutenant.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: The Huron is hailed by Starbase 12 but all the Huron hears is static.

CSO_Sky says:
::Shakes her head::  CNS:  Looks like I shall abandon you after all so that I might give him a report.  I also need to inform him of one of the children he is concerned about.

Host XO_Woo says:
::stops, as he hears a beep on the communications console::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Me sir? Errr.....aye sir. ::looks flustered::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Well, just a second...

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Well if you have to... your visit has been the highlight of my day!

Host XO_Woo says:
<OPS_Wilson> XO: We have an incoming hail, sir.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: It's probably the starbase. OPS: On screen.

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  Perhaps I should send the EO down to you.  I am sure there must be something she can fix for you.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::hears the beep as well and looks towards the operations console::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::as he gets on the nearest Turbo Lift:: Computer: Randomly pick a deck other than here.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters the Bridge, nodding to Angeltra to stay at Tac 1.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  That would be nice, but I am sure Holly has her hands full right now, trying to keep the Huron together.

CSO_Sky says:
::Stands, taking her still full cup to the disposal unit.::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: As the screen pops on, a blurred image of someone is barely visible.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Send Susie here... I will look after her.

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  We should be approaching the starbase soon.  And she should take a break.  I do not believe she has gotten much sleep.

CSO_Sky says:
::Turns to look at the counselor a moment, then nods::  CNS: Until later...

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Have any of the crew?  I think the only ones are the Captain and myself.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Is it a problem on our side?

Host XO_Woo says:
COM: Starbase 12: This is the Huron.

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  We will...  ::Exits the room.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Gathers the information from the Level 1 Diagnostics, combining them into a single report.::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::looks over the readings::XO: Sir, I can't get it any clearer. Our systems are just too damaged.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::nods to Sierra and watches her leave, not really looking forward to a child that has lost her parents... it reminds her to much of her past::

CSO_Sky says:
*Lori*:  If you have a moment, will you bring Susie down to the counselors rooms?  The computer can guide you to her...  also, bring a plate of the cookies the children made last night.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Can you set up text communication with the Starbase?

CSO_Sky says:
::Entering the nearest turbolift::  Computer, sickbay.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: The Starbase doesn't get the XO's message.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::walks onto a deck, he doesn't recollect seeing before:: Self: I should really explore this ship more.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO/ EO: Shuttle comm systems should work, can you patch the signal through one of them?

CMO_Harek says:
::gets up and out of his office to see how the shutdown is going::

CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Come here you lazy pussy cat!  We are going to have a visitor and you will need to keep her company! ::Randi watches as Baby comes from the bedroom, stopping and stretching every 3 feet or so::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: I'll try sir, but it may not work.

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori> ::Getting the information needed, collects a plate of cookies and makes her way over to Susie.  Bending down, she quietly informs the child of their destination and asks the nurse to watch the others for her.::

CSO_Sky says:
:;Exiting the turbolift, enters sickbay, glancing around for the CMO::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO/CTO: What about the Bon Homme Richarde? The systems surely aren't damaged enough such that we can't even contact them.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles.::  All: If it doesn't, then they can just wait until we get in range of the comm badges.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: That could work too. ::grins::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::As he walks through deck he looks out the window to see to lower section of the station:: Self: Show-offs.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CTO: I can't patch through from the bridge, but perhaps from auxiliary control......

CMO_Harek says:
::turns around to the sound of sickbay doors:: CSO: Ahh, So what's the verdict on the counselor?

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori>  ::Balancing the plate of cookies in one hand and holding the quiet child with the other, she slowly makes her way to the counselors quarters.::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Alright. Good luck.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CTO: Can you get to secondary control and try patching through from there?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: I'll head down and try and set up the link.  As long as the pathways aren't too jumbled I should be able to handle that.

CSO_Sky says:
CMO:  She is doing well.  Her bones are fully knitted.  Only her bruises trouble her now and those should be gone in two days.  ::Hands him a padd.::  Here is the medical report on Timmy.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::stands and looks in the mirror at her eyes that are now yellow, green, blue and black::

CMO_Harek says:
::takes the PADD and reads through it::

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori> ::Activates the chime::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: The Bon Homme Richard's tractor beams suddenly discontinue and set the Huron adrift.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Lori: Enter.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns and heads for Auxiliary control.::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Finds the emitter, fixes it and leaves::

Host XO_Woo says:
::feels a jerk:: EO: Report.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  That is our guests... do NOT jump on them.  ::pointing to the sofa beside her::

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori> ::Enters and smiles at the counselor.  Walking over to her, she places the plate of cookies on the table::  CNS:  I believe these are for you to share with Susie.  ::Gently brings the child forward.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::watches as Baby gets onto the sofa, but still on alert, tail down, ready to pounce if necessary::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: The tractor beams have terminated sir. We're adrift and..........::checks the coordinates::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TL: Deck seven, primary computer core.

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Quick, stabilize our flight path.

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Eyes wide, stares at the huge cat.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
Lori:  Hi Lori... my but those look good.  Susie, I would like for you to meet Baby.  She is my friend and would love to be your friend as well.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Yes?

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Moves behind the teacher.::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::gulps::XO: We're heading for the Starbase sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters computer core and tries to make the connection between the Bridge and either the Bon Homme Richard or Starbase 12.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
Susie:  Are you hungry?  ::sitting on the floor, then taking a cookie from Lori::  Come and sit beside me.

Host XO_Woo says:
::curses under his breath:: EO: Are thrusters active?

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: Both rescue ships have now moved off apparently unaware that the Huron can't dock at this point.

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori>  ::Slowly walks over to the ocelot::  Baby:  What a nice kitty you are...  ::Pets the cat and encouraging the child.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: Not sure, but I think I have the link established.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Baby begins to purr... and let's out a small meow::

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::With a slight lisp, she puffs out her chest proudly::  CNS:  I helped Sky make them.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: We have port thrusters working but starboard and aft thrusters are inoperative.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Susie:  You did?  Well they are very good.  Can you show me how to make them? ::grinning at the child::

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori> ::Chuckles::  CNS:  I think I will leave the two of you for a bit.  I have 6 other children waiting me. Call when you want me to come get her.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Lori:  I will.  I am sure we three will be just fine.

CSO_Sky says:
::Watches the doctors face.::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Open a channel. Inform the ships and the starbase that we have little to no control of our flight path, and needs to be slowed down manually. Now... if we fire the port thrusters, will be divert enough?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Wonders if he's remembering basic communication application correctly, but it all "looks" right.::

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori> ::With a nod and a smile::  CNS:  I stand corrected, the three of you.  ::Turns and leaves.::

Host XO_Woo says:
*CTO*: We currently have a... minor situation, our momentum's left us on a path for the starbase.

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Comes over to the counselor and picks up a cookie::  CNS:  They are made with choclate.

CMO_Harek says:
CSO: Poor kid, He suffered sever damage to his spine, I don't know if he will every be fully recovered. I think we should transfer him to Starfleet medical where he can be treated by specialists

CNS-McIntyre says:
Susie:  Ok Susie... they are made with chocolate.  Do you know I have some chocolate bars in the kitchen?  Do you like chocolate a lot? ::grinning::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::nods::XO: Aye sir. The port thrusters alone will cause us to spin though. I'm not sure we could avert the base unless.......

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: Momentum?  You mean they cast us adrift?!  Oh no.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::opens a communication channel and sends the message::

Host XO_Woo says:
*CTO*: Rude, isn't it. Let's hope your modifications were good.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO/ EO*: Torpedo bays are clear, right?  Will it help if we just open the forward tubes and expel atmosphere?

CSO_Sky says:
CMO:  I hate leaving him again with strangers.  He has taken to Lori.

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Nods her head vigorously::  CNS:  Yes... I got to eat some of the chips before they all went into the cookies.  We all did.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Torpedo bays*:  All hands, clear the bays IMMEDIATELY!

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
*CTO*: It's all we've got at this point. Can you depressurize from your location?

CMO_Harek says:
CSO: We can't keep him here, I can't offer the treatment he needs.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*EO*: Aye, give me a few seconds and I'll do it.  Hold tight, literally.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Susie:  Do you know that is my favorite thing to eat!  Think we should get one now? ::Baby begins bumping Susie's hand for attention::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::cruising in the Turbo Lift, whistling a catch little tune::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Torpedo Bay chief> *CTO*: We're clear!

CSO_Sky says:
CMO:  Understood.  His treatment will take many months of therapy. if he is does well after the operation.

Host XO_Woo says:
<FCO_Marquette> XO: Okay, like, I have no control whatsoever... and we're five minutes from ::gulp:: contact...

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Opens the launchers, deactivating the atmosphere shields.::

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Looks at the big kitty and waves a hand in front of its face.::

Host XO_Woo says:
Computer: Yellow alert. EO: Is this a Situation yet? And have the ships responded?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Continue to pump atmosphere into Torpedo launch bays despite the leak.  Authorization Ec' 13131300013.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Baby watches the waving hand, then licks it with her rough tongue::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::looks at the XO::XO: Sir, you might want to warn the ship to hang on.

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Giggles, pulling her hand back and wiping it on her dress.::  CNS:  Does kitty like choclate?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::As he gets out the door, he looks out the nearest window:: Self: Oh look, we're going to crash, how nice. ::continues on to the emitter::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Quite right. Wouldn't want more injuries. *All Hands* Brace yourselves for the next half minute, we are depressurizing the torpedo tubes.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::hears something on the comm::XO: Sir, I'm getting a response to our hail, but they seem puzzled as to our situation.

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks up at the comm unit and moves over to one of the bio beds.::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Puzzled?? What exactly do they say?

CSO_Sky says:
<Lori> ::Hearing the announcement, makes a sprint for the CSO's quarters.::

CSO_Sky says:
CMO;  I will inform Lori.  She may wish to take on the responsibility of looking after him.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::hears the announcement::  Susie:  Come here and sit in my lap. ::not knowing what is happening, she tunes into to the XO::  The ride in the Huron is going to get a little bumpy.  Want to see how high we can leap in the air from the floor?  ::she grins at the little girl::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Establish control link with shuttle Phoenix.  Send message "Huron has no attitude control, drifting blind.  Please reestablish tractor tow.

CMO_Harek says:
CSO: Do what you can for Timmy, I'll contact Starfleet medical and arrange a transport from the starbase.

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Climbs onto the ladies lap::  CNS:  Kitty jump too?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::fixes the emitter on this deck and carries on to the next emitter on Deck 9::

CSO_Sky says:
CMO:  He will be ready.  Do you require me for anything else?

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::looks puzzled herself:: XO: Well sir, they aren't acknowledging that we have a problem.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Susie:  Yes, Baby will jump too, but you know what?  She can really jump high!

CMO_Harek says:
CSO: No that should be all.

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Turns to look at the big cat.::  CNS:  Can I ride kitty?

CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Down, ready to track! ::Baby hears the word track and lies down on the floor, looking for the prey she has learned to watch for::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: I'm trying to link with the Phoenix to have her send a message, but I can't tell if it's transmitting.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Recheck your sensors... perhaps it is us at fault.

CSO_Sky says:
CMO:  Then I will leave you.  Should you need me, just call.  ::Turns and leaves the room, prepared for a bumpy ride.::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: The CTO's message is received by the Bon Homme Richard.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Susie:  No Honey... you are too big to ride her.  You wouldn't want to hurt her would you?

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Rechecking sir.

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie> ::Shakes her head::  CNS:  Nice kitty?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*EO*: How much thrust would the escape pods provide?  If we launched the forward ones?

Host XO_Woo says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged. We have received a response from the Starbase, but they seem to be oblivious to our problem. Are the torpedo tubes ready?

CSO_Sky says:
::Making her way to her quarters, she steps into the turbolift.::  Computer, deck 2.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*XO*:  How big a bump are we expecting XO?  I have a child with me in my quarters.

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: A sudden jerk is felt by the Huron as two tractor beams engage.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: Aye sir, they've been going for a few minutes.  Unfortunately, the thrust is limited to what the Environmental controls can...oof, was that what I hope it was?

CSO_Sky says:
::Turning as the doors close, she patiently waits for the slow lift to make its way up the shaft.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::grabs Susie as they go rolling on the living room floor::  Susie:  Whoa!  Now that was fun wasn't it?  ::laughing::

CSO_Sky says:
::Catches herself against the turbolift walls::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::after falling from the shock, he gets up and continues his job::

Host XO_Woo says:
::feels a jerk, and feels the ship stabilizing::

CSO_Sky says:
<Susie>  ::Giggles::  CNS:  Can we do it again?

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Sir, tractor beams re engaged! ::smiles::

Host XO_Woo says:
<FCO_Marquette> XO: Ah... much better.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Well, that's more like it.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Susie:  I don't know... we will have to wait and see!  Even Baby rolled!  See the look on her face Susie?

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: I believe that was the extent of the, er, roughness.

CSO_Sky says:
::Steps off the turbolift and makes her way to her quarters, entering as it recognizes her.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: Never again will I complain about being stuck on the Bridge in a time of emergency.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*XO*:  Aye Sir... We are fine down here, but Susie wants to know if you can do that again! ::chuckling::

Host EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
ACTION: The Huron is guided into the docking bay by the tractor beams and the shutdown begins.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Suzie?
