Mission Summary
	The USS Huron has been ordered to rendezvous with the USS Monterey, to respond to a distress call at a mining colony on the planet Orthos. After the ship has been powered up and ship systems control restored, the Huron is taken out of Starbase 71, and sets a course for the rendezvous point. Shortly after their departure, the CO receives devastating news from Admiral Knight regarding the CSO, and he retreats to his ready room, leaving the FCO in command. Meanwhile, the new CIV and OPS officers undergo full medical evaluations from the CMO...
	The CTO begins to brainstorm possible reasons why the accident occurred, with the FCO and supposedly, with the CIV, but without further information, perhaps once they arrive at the site, they cannot settle on anything more grounded... Though the CO has refused to provide any information as to why the CSO is not present on the bridge, the CIV proceeds to press the matter by speaking to the CO in his ready room...

@::picks up the picnic basket:: CTO: Hey wait for me! ::hurries to catch up:: Boy, you don't waste any time do you? ::smiles::
MO_Chen says:
::In sickbay, setting up physicals for the new crew and noting that some of the 'old' crew were overdue for physicals as well.::
Host CO_Woo says:
::on the bridge, in his seat, tapping his fingers on the sides of his chair, slowly...::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Completing preflight checks on Operations console::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::going through the pre-launch sequences:: *EO*: Roz to Holly.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::In the Arboretum, having just finished lunch.::  EO: This was nice, but I wish duty gave us a bit longer before calling.  Oh, I wasn't leaving, just making sure we didn't leave anything behind.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Continuously paces his room wondering what he is going to do::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::walks into Sickbay, just in time for his appointment, and looks around, a little peeved to have to have a medical eval::
Host CO_Woo says:
::frowns:: *EO*: Oh, lieutenant, what's the status on the ship systems start-up?
Host EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@:;stops and taps her badge:: *FCO*: Go ahead Roz.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*: Like the Captain asked. When can we switch from base power to ship power and fire up the warp engines?
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Looks up to see an unhappy patient.::  CIV:  It is not all that bad.
Host ADM_Knight says:
@*CO*:  Captain, is the Huron ready to depart?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@*CO*: Well sir, since I'm still on the station I don't have the latest report.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@EO: Looks like you're popular today.  ::Smiles, collecting the refuse and dropping it in the closest recycler.::  Ready?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Glances over his console::CO: Initiating preflight operations and EPS diagnostics now.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
MO: I never said it was Lieutenant, I just don't really have time for this right now.
Host CO_Woo says:
*EO*: Lieutenant, we need to leave immediately.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@*FCO*: Check with operations Roz. They should have the latest report by now.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
CIV:  Actually, you have plenty of time.  You know the procedures.  You are not even an official member until your evals are completed.  So hop up on the table and I will try to make this as unpleasant as possible.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Pulls up his files.::
Host CO_Woo says:
::remembers that he has a bit of an announcement to make...::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*: Ok. Hurry back, or we leave you behind. ::puts a smile in his voice::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@:;smiles at Icky:: *CO*: On my way back now sir.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Self: This is ridiculous, you should be out there socializing... especially with the new members, instead you are in here walking around talking to yourself about what you should be doing.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::hops up on the table, clearly annoyed:: MO: I may know the procedures, Sir, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: Are we ready to switch from base to ship power? Our engineer says you will know.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Noting he is human, makes the adjustments to her instrumentation.::  CIV:  Didn't your teachers ever warn you not to annoy the doctor?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Smiles and turns to the Captain:: CO: Sir, all systems are green from my console.  The ship is all yours, sir.
Host CO_Woo says:
*ADM*: It appears we have some problems with personnel still boarding, sir. Stand by...
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@::follows Icky:: CTO: I guess we better step on it. The Captain seems to have.......what is that expression......."ants in his pants?"
Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: They know we have to leave immediately. Why are they still on the base?
Host ADM_Knight says:
@*CO*:  No problem Eric.  I just wanted to inform you that Sierra will be staying behind here at the SB.  I'm sure you'll do fine without her.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: I have no idea, sir. Miscommunication or something?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@EO: Apparently.  Let's go, ants aren't good to keep waiting.
Host CO_Woo says:
*ADM*: She will be? For what reason, sir? ::frowns, at the new announcement::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*: Holly, you had better hotfoot it back here.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
MO: Actually, no, they didn't. ::tries to calm down a bit::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Ponders if he should make a more detailed report:: CO: ...EPS reads nominal....power conduits are prepared to switch to shipboard power on your command.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Reading his file.::  CIV:  For shame... you have now been warned.  ::Smiles teasingly.::  Tell me, what is a normal Human?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Ponders and looks at the tactical station::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@*FCO*: For goodness sakes Roz, we're coming. Keep your pants on!
Host ADM_Knight says:
@*CO*:  I'll transmit that reason over to you now.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
FCO: Sorry sir.  Yessir.  All systems are nominal.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*: Holly, you're the first one to ask me to keep it on. ::chuckles::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Picks up a medical scanner and runs it over him, glancing at the biobed readings..::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
MO: You're the Doctor, you tell me. ::smiles back a little::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
FCO:  As I said previously, the power conduits are ready to switch to shipboard power on command.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Self: I know what I need to do, whenever you are not sure what to do go to the bridge...there is always something of interest there. ::Makes his way towards the bridge::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Arrives at docking port, nodding to the guard at the post upon entering.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@*FCO*: There's a first time for everything Roz. Sparks out.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
FCO: Going to be a long journey, sir?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::blinks:: OPS: Sorry, I thought you were talking to the Captain... I need more sleep it seems. ::nods:: Yes, two days at high warp before we get there.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Sighs and taps at the annoying red light that flickers on his console::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
CIV:  See... a smile won't kill you.  Actually, a smile is truly the best medicine.  Hmmm... Were you often ill when you were young?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
FCO: I'm sure we'll all have time to rest before our rendezvous.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
@::enters the docking port after being cleared with the guard::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Headed to the Bridge or Main Engineering?
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
MO: No, not that I remember. I've never been in a hospital.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: The moment our errant crew is on board, we can cast off. Teval can do the power switch from his console.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Walks off the TL and towards Tactical::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::nods to affirm FCO's statement::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Engineering I think. I have to check on things with my crew.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Finger poised on the power switch::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Reaches for a blood sampler.::  CIV:  Were you a poor eater as a child?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: OK, I'll see you later I'm sure.  *Angeltra*: Start the Level 4, let's get ready to roll, I'll be on the Bridge in a moment.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
MO: I guess I would consider myself an average eater. I do skip meals quite often though.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: See you  there later? ::smiles and hands him the basket:: Here, you better take this.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self: Gee, let's go already folks.  We have a planet to save.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
FCO: Excellent. OPS: In which case, do so. ::he takes a closer look at the file... and he frowns, looking up:: *ADM*: Thank you, admiral. Should I inform the crew?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Angeltra> *CTO*: Start?  It's almost done.  You need some sprint work I think.
Host ADM_Knight says:
@*CO*:  I don't think we should worry them with this at the moment.  We need them to keep their focus on your mission.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CO: Aye sir! ::Activates the power transfer with much enthusiasm:: All: Power systems are now shipboard.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::turns and goes in the opposite direction heading for engineering::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Taps a few controls to look over protocols::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
*ADM*: Aye, sir. Thank you, sir.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
CIV:  Hmmm... there is evidence of poor eating during a growing spurt... if you were never ill.  Nothing serious, just something there.  Now... this won't hurt at all... ::Takes his arm for a blood sample,::  So, tell me, what brought you aboard the Huron?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Airlock teams report all on board, sir.
Host ADM_Knight says:
@*CO*:  Good Luck Eric......I'll see you and the crew the next time you're in town.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Exits TL.::  Angeltra: Sprint work my antenna.  You're relieved, joker.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::frowns, slowly shaking his head, as his rage starts building:: FCO: FINALLY. Remind me to have a word with those people. *ADM*: Thank you, sir... we'll see you soon. FCO: Contact SBOPS, have us cleared for departure, then take us out, commander.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::calms down a bit, but still clearly impatiently waiting this to end:: MO: I've been sent from SFI to assist the Huron with matters of tactics, strategy, and to help all around shipboard operations.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he quickly turns his head as the CTO heads onto the bridge:: CTO: Lieutenant, explain why you were one of the last to report to the Huron?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: Have a good trip, Ethan. See you when we get back.~~~ ::nods:: CO: Aye, sir. OPS: Teval, get us clearance from SBOPS, please.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Takes a tissue sample.::  CIV:  I bet the captain is thrilled with that.  ::Looks up with a smile.::  No insult intended.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
FCO: Right away, sir.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::enters engineering and is immediately set upon by several crewmen:: All: Ok listen up. I assume that someone began the startup? ::waits for someone to acknowledge:: Well?
Host ADM_Knight says:
@~~~FCO:  Just bring yourselves and the Huron back in one piece.~~~
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Sir?  We got the word and headed right over, Sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: Oh, for sure.~~~
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
MO: Well, I do have my orders. I'm sure we'll all get along fine.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
*SBOPS*: This is USS Huron to Star Base 71 Operations Centre.  Requesting clearance for departure.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: We will discuss this later, lieutenant. In the meantime, status report from tactical?
Host ADM_Knight says:
<SBOPS> *OPS*:  Huron, you are cleared for departure.  Good Luck.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
<March>EO: I did ma'am. All systems are go and I sent that to the operations officer.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
*SBOPS*: Thank you SB71.  Departing now.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Finishes up.::  CIV:  Yep... which includes being nice to your neighborhood doctor.  ::Puts aside her instruments.::  Anything I should know in case you find yourself down in my domain unknowingly?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: All systems check out, all teams report normal operation.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
All/FCO: We are cleared for departure.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: Thanks. ::punches a button:: CO: Casting off umbilicals. Thrusters at maximum.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Grins excitedly to the CTO::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: Then please, take us past the outer markers, then take us to the rendezvous point with the Monterey, maximum warp.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Looks around the bridge, then back at the controls and pushes them one at a time::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
MO: Hmm, no, not that I can think of.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Checks his readouts:: FCO: Power flow to warp propulsion systems are nominal.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::grins:: March: Well done March. I like  a go getter. Now let's get back to work shall we?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::deftly moves the ship away from the station, heading for the outer markers at 1/4 impulse::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Nods and steps back.::  CIV:  If you think of anything, let me know.  And don't be a stranger... It gets old only seeing people when they are bleeding all over my place.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::gets up:: MO: No problem, and thanks for being quick about this. ::flashes a smile:: MO: I'm sure I'll see you around.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::sighs:: FCO: How long will it take for us to reach the Monterey, at this rate?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::reaches the outer markers:: CO: Going to maximum warp, sir. ::taps the controls::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::checks the status of the engine systems and confirms with crewman March::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Did you enjoy what we had of a break?
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::nods and turns to take the samples over to the computer for a complete bio check up.::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::walks out of Sickbay, and to the turbolift::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
TL: Deck 1, Bridge.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: I suppose.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CO: Sir, all departments onboard are reporting green.  All crew for this shift's duty roster are at their stations.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::hums to himself as the TL takes him up to the bridge, with his trusty PADD in hand::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::turns slightly in his chair:: CO: Sir, a question if I may?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
*Bridge*: Sparks here. Engineering is at your disposal.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::sighs and turns from his console::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::feels the ship lurch into warp:: FCO: As long as you answer mine, first. ::he smiles:: How far until we arrive at the rendezvous point? And yes, you may ask your question, commander.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::walks onto the bridge, waiting for a chance to interrupt the CO::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Strange, normally I am ready to get back to normal duty shifts ahead of time, this one seemed a touch short for me.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::pulls up a copy of the crew's manifest on his PADD::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: If you say so. ::stares intently at the buttons::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CO: Two days at our current speed, sir. ::looks around the bridge:: Tell me, was Sierra transferred to another ship and didn't have time to say goodbye? I noticed she's not on the bridge.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Looks up at the time and sends OPS a reminder of his appointment.::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Looks about, realizing FCO's got a point.::  FCO: Maybe she's setting up one of the labs?
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
FCO: Two days? At maximum warp? Good heavens... ::he hesitates, at the FCO's question:: FCO: Well... Lt. Sky will not be joining us to Orthos. She... will be remaining on the starbase.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Getting the blood work up completed first, updates his file.::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: That would slow up the investigation I think.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: On the base? ::noticed the hesitation, but isn't sure whether he wants to ask more::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::continues to read the engineering reports and nods as March explains the work that's been done::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::walks closer to the center chair, and plops down in the XO's chair::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
All: Yes, she is remaining on the base. Now, if you will all excuse me... FCO: Cmdr, you have the bridge, I will be in my ready room if you need - ::he stops, as he notices the CIV sitting in the XO's chair:: CIV: Can I help you, ensign?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Yawns and realizes he hasn't slept properly in 3 days::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::whispers to the CO:: CO: Sir, I was about to ask the same question. Pulling up crew manifest I noticed our CSO was missing. Is there any particular reason?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::gets up to take the centre chair:: CO: Aye, sir.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::As the DNA profile comes up, she reads through it for the obvious abnormalities, making a note of any genetic disorders, not concerned as they would have been picked up his first year at the academy.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
:: After completed routine power diagnostics, Teval nods to a faceless young officer to relieve his console.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Heads off the bridge for his appointment:: TL: Deck..uh...
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
CIV: On your feet, ensign. I believe I already answered that question, and let us leave it at that. All: Was there anything else, from anyone? Good. ::he heads down towards his ready room::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Looks over files that really have no need of being looked at::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
TL: Computer, which deck is sickbay?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::reads that there was a slight imbalance in the anti-matter stream flow and goes to check it:: Martin: Watch the readings for me will you? I'm going to probe that stream.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Pulls up initial reports from the Mining colony, beginning to review what little is already known.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Pokes at the turbolift panel a few times::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
Hmmm... ::Notes a few genetic problems he will have to deal with eventually, arthritis, possible Alzheimer's. ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::sits down in the Big Chair [TM]:: CIV: I do believe that is the XO seat... if you need to you can use the CNS's chair since she's not here at the moment.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::stands up, and takes the seat to the other side of the command chair, as he monitors the crew working around him, and begins to take notes::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Speaks especially loud:: TL: Computer?  Can you hear me?  How many fingers am I holding up, computer? ::Does the Vulcan salute::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
All: You have your orders. Please keep me apprised. ::he unseals the door to the ready room, and walks in, slowly::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
FCO: I got that Commander. I didn't know it was reserved. ::snaps back::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
<Martin> EO: Sure thing ma'am. :;walks to the console and stands beside March and waits for Holly's signal::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
<computer> OPS: Deck 8.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self:  Remind me to have a talk with engineering about these blasted turbolifts.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
TL: Deck 8.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CIV: It is usually reserved for the Executive Officer... and since we don't have one at the moment, it should remain vacant, don't you think?
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
FCO: If you say so. ::begins to take notes::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Looks up and sees the CIV:: CTO: You is he?
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he walks over to his replicator, and grabs a cup of tea, before sitting himself down at his desk, as he goes through the report again and again, more thoroughly each time...::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Standing in the turbolift::*EO*: You may want to check out these turbolift computer systems when you have a free moment.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::While she waits for the completion of the work up, she glances at the clock.::  *CO*  Sir, don't forget, you have a physical today.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Leaves the turbolift and enters sickbay::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::puts on a nice smile:: CIV: Just an idea... use it, don't use it.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::crawls up the passage way and pulls out her probe:: *Martin*: Ok, I'm ready to begin, now watch those readings closely.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Puts on his best glum face::MO: Ensign Teval reporting for medical evaluation, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he grunts, as he hears the MO's call over the commsystem:: *MO*: I'm busy! ... I'm sorry, lieutenant. Is it possible I could reschedule?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: What was that?  I am he?  Not sure what you mean.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Hearing the doors open, she glances over.::  OPS:  Welcome to my parlor said the spider to the fly.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::carefully inserts the probe:: *Martin*: What's happening?
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::stands up, and goes to the Ready Room door, hitting the chime::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: Could we complete this examination in the most efficient manner?  I need to return to my station quickly.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: What's the initial report from the Monterey?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
<Martin> *EO*: Slight jump lieutenant.....ease off.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: Hmmm, pretty strong blast.  So many lost.  Accident?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Points at the CIV:: CTO: That guy over there, you is making arguments and taking notes. Who is he?
MO_Lt_Chen says:
*CO*:  The day you are not busy, I will be worried.  I don't care when you get your tail down her, but kindly make it today.  By the way... we just left the starbase, what has you so busy at the moment?
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
Self: No... it is better that the crew do not know... yet, anyways.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Nods toward the medical table for OPS to take.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
:: Strides purposefully to the examination table and sits on it::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: So far not much, major blast, dozens of casualties, heavy, almost total damage.  Their operation is crippled, if not destroyed.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
*MO*: Lieutenant... I will come down when I come down. What has me so busy is of no concern to anyone but myself. Please... just allow this one... indulgence... ::he adds, trying to add as  much of a lilt as he can::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::grumbling again, he looks up:: CIV: Enter!
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: I see a lot of people are trying to avoid you.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::eases back slightly then readjusts the problem:: *Martin*: Ok, going to try again.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: Is there any need to be concerned about this?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::sighs:: CTO: Oh, lovely.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::walks in stiffly to the desk, noting the CO not looking happy:: CO: Sir, may I have a word or two?
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  Considering how impatient folks are, right after R&R, what do you think about me scheduling physicals during R&R?  Then you won't need to be in such a hurry.  ::Reaches over to adjust the bioreadings for Andorian physiology.::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Some sort of attache or something.  My info is kinda vague, though.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he fails to stand, instead crossing his legs and with his hands clasped in front of him:: CIV: Of course you may, ensign. ::he stares at him, for about five seconds:: Please, sit down.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Doesn't understand the sarcasm:: MO: That would be fine, sir.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::inserts the probe again slowly:: *Martin*: Well?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Considering it's a deuterium mine, I wonder if it's an accident.  Deuterium is pretty stable, normally.  I don't like this.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Frowns as she hears more in the captains voice then he is saying.::  *CO*:  Only if I can indulge you in a drink after hours... when you are ready.  Chen out.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Huh. I hope his not a reporter, I hate reporters.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::takes a seat:: CO: Sir, with all due respect, if I'm to do my job here, I need to know what's going on. Surely you can understand that.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: Shall we? ::Points to the array of medical tricorders on the tray::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: So you think it could be sabotage? Dissension among the workers?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
<Martin>:: watches the readings and smiles:: *EO*: That's got it ma'am, the flow is normal now.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  Patience is a virtue.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
Thinks to self: And even that is in question... CIV: ... Go on.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: With all due respect, so it efficiency.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shrugs.::  TO: We do our job, that's all we can do.  FCO: Not sure, I'll start looking into the mine's history to see if there's any likely suspects, but if it's political, an attempt to disrupt our sources, it could be anyone.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: Now that we are in the privacy of your ready room Sir, I would again ask to know, one, what's wrong, and two, why our Chief Science Officer is not aboard, on a mission of this magnitude.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::smiles:: *MO*: I would like that, thank you. Woo out.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Looks at him, ignoring his comment.::  OPS:  Did anything... perturbing happen while you were on the bridge?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::sighs and leans back for a moment:: *Martin*: Ok thanks. I'm coming out now. ::climbs down the narrow passage way and scrambles out::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
FCO/CTO: If it is...Should we communicate to the head honco of the mines?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: No sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO/TO: It might be a good idea. Both suggestions. ::smiles::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Takes a tricorder from the tray:: MO: I am trained in basic medical procedures.  It might be faster if we conducted scans of myself simultaneously.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
Hmmm... I wonder...  ::Pushes her thoughts aside and returns to the moment.::  OPS:  Sooo... anything you want to tell me?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: I believe Ensign Teval was looking into that.  Check with him, make sure.  How's your forensics?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Begins passing the scanning bead over his body:: MO: Not particularly.  I had my last physical 4.25 days ago.  Nothing drastic has changed since then.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::hears the Captain talking with the MO, as he awaits a response patiently, trying to be as nice and straight-forward as possible::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::stares at the CIV for a while:: CIV: Thank you for your concern, ensign. I am... simply feeling somewhat tired. Do not worry about me, I will be alright. In response to your second question... it is a matter of some sensitivity, and I am not prepared at this time to discuss it any further. Alright, ensign?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Looks dully at the dawdling doctor::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::carries her toolbox back to the main console and hands to March:: March: Here you go. ::looks at Martin:: Martin: Thanks for the assist.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: Level one bioinfection scans have been completed, and the results are negative.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Looks down at his chart, noting the limited comments, then glances at the bioreading as she runs the diagnostic sensor over him.::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::thinks to self:: Self: Okay, so don't tell me a thing.. Got it. CO: Aye Sir, is there anything in particular you wish me to do or wish to talk about?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: I have no idea how my forensics are, but I will have a chat with Teval.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
CIV: Again, I thank you for your concern, Alex - may I call you Alex? But in the meantime, all you need do is work with the CTO, on the... alternative which I already discussed in your orders, ensign. ::he tries to smile, weakly::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Sighs::  OPS:  We can do this my way, which takes little time, or your way, which will take a couple of hours.  Your choice.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: I hope I'm just being overly suspicious.  That's a lot of innocents killed and injured.  Call me naive, but I'd like to think there aren't a lot of folks out there capable of doing this kind of thing.  TO: Very good, just looking for someone to fill...::Glances at the Science Console.::...missing crewmember.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: I really don't see why we can't save some time if I help.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::thinks to self:: Self: Well, you just did call me Alex, so it's too late now.. CO: Aye, sir. I'll get right on that. ::stands:: CO: Is there anything else for me?
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  Your not helping...
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Continues to scan himself::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
*Bridge*: Sparks here. Just wanted to report all everything is a-ok down here now.
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
CIV: No, that... um, that will be all, ensign. Dismissed.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*: Thanks Holly.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Shakes head.::  OPS:  Your commander didn't warn you about doctors either did they.  ::Comment, not question.::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::turns and strides out of the Ready Room, looking a little more than peeved::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: I have just completed two major scans you'd require to perform on me as part of SOP.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: That's another thing I don't like, the Captain, he's not like...like he was today.  Especially when you asked him about Lieutenant Sky.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: I've been doing this since I was a kid on Andoria, doctor.  There were no doctors during the famine.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Ec'Thel'Ion, I'd rather you be suspicious than completely trusting... not a good quality in a CTO, don't you think?
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  That is not the point at all.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CIV's exit from the RR::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
*CO*:  Captain, our new operations officer may be a bit longer then planned.  Just to let you know.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
*FCO*: No problem Roz. By the way, I hope the Captain wasn't looking for me. I've been crawling around down here and didn't pay much attention. Am I in the clear? ::chuckles::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: I prefer to think of myself as "thorough" then suspicious.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: I've just completed scan 3.6a of medical examination standard operating procedures.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Continues to scan himself::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*: He's in his ready room... I think it has something to do with the reason Sierra stayed behind on the station. He didn't want to say. So, you're in the clear for the moment.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
FCO/CTO: My opinion of a good CTO depends if Murphy is your friend or foe.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  Ensign, you are aware that I must clear you for active duty?
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::takes a seat in the CNS's chair again, and begins to write a report on his first day here, and the troubling fact that the head of the Science Department is missing::
Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
*MO*: Understood. Send him back to the bridge as soon as you can...
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
*FCO*: Thanks Roz. I'm on the way up just the same. Sparks out.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: Are you implying you would use your authority to prohibit me from duty without a valid reason?
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Instructor Murphy from the Academy?  The Technical aspects of Tactics guy?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CIV: I take it your interview with the Captain was... satisfactory?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::heads for the nearest turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: As it stands, these diagnostics are checking me out as fine.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS: I am informing you, that I must be the one to clear you.  Which means my signature on the form, which means my doing the physical, not you.  Simple.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CIV:  Ensign Taylor, how versed are you in Forensic investigations?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Stares blankly at the CTO:: CTO: No...not him...the philosopher.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
FCO: As satisfactory as could be, given the current circumstances, I suppose.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  When you are ready, I will continue.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Thinks a few seconds.::  TO: Which culture?  Sounds Terran, but not familiar with him.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Looks at the MO incredulously and passes her the bead:: MO: You have 8 minutes to complete the examination.  The Captain expects me to raise the Orthos colony.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::steps onto the bridge and slinks to the engineering console::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: I would suggest you retain the scans I have already performed.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::nods, trying not to smile:: CIV: A non-answer if I ever heard one. You will learn, Ensign, that when a Captain storms into his ready room he usually does not want to be disturbed.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::hears the voice above and behind him:: CTO: Fairly, Lieutenant, what makes you ask?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: It is Terran, Murphy was an optimist who made pessimistic laws.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  I will perform my job as it should be done and you will perform yours.  The captain knows where you are... and probably why at the moment.  Now... lie back.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Lies::
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
FCO: Well, Commander, ::only said with a bit of sarcasm:: I'm not going to let someone's bad mood get in the way of my job.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Takes a deep breath and with scanner in hand, begins again.::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CIV: Because our best investigator is missing, and I want to find the best person to fill the slot and back me up in the investigation.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::relieves the officer at engineering and then takes a quick look around the bridge::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::gives a carefully blank look:: CIV: And I suggest you moderate your sarcasm, Mister.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Oh, the poster guy, OK.  I've heard of him.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CIV: Besides... we don't need the Captain to tell us all our jobs, now do we?
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Completed with the general scan, she looks over the biobeds readings and inputs them into her database.  Calming herself, she reaches for the tissue sampler.::  OPS:  As you know, this won't hurt.  Tell me, what brings you to the Huron?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: So that you know, I am diagnosed with a hyperactive metabolism gland, though it is not a serious difficulty.  I was assigned to this ship by Starfleet Command.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Lets just leave it at that shall we.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Quickly and efficiently takes the sample, placing it aside before taking a blood sample.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::wonders why the Captain isn't on the bridge and wonders if he has an accident with the dye again::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Doesn't flinch as the MO applies the sampler::
Host CO_Woo says:
::he slams his cup against his desk in frustration, angered by the flimsiness of the report, that says so much but nothing at all... he needs something... :: *EO*: Lieutenant. My ready room. NOW.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
FCO: No, but I do need information at times though. ::stands and heads up to talk to the CTO:: CTO: It was my understanding we were to work together on that assignment, not my working for you.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
EO: Uhm, Holly... You're up.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::jumps as her badge talks:: *CO*: Coming sir! ::hurries across the bridge and rings the chime::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::nods as she makes a mental note.::  OPS:  I see that it is treated as a need only basis, which there is no note of having been done before.  ::Finishes the sample.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: I suppose the humanitarian reputation of the Huron's mission roster appealed to me too.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::makes note to speak to Holly and Randi as soon as possible.::
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CIV: And it's my understanding that I'm in charge of Tactical on board the Huron, of which this is part.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Finally smiles at the comment, feeling a bit more compassionate toward him.::  OPS:  She is a good ship.  You will like her.
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
CTO: And, by the way, my name is Tyler. Not Taylor, or however you said it.
MO_Lt_Chen says:
OPS:  you can sit up now.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::nods and sits::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::waits for the Captain to call her inside::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Steps away from the table.::  OPS:  You know the warning signs of your condition.  Don't hesitate to come to me immediately.  It is more... efficient that way.  ::Smiles.::  Your are clear.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO: Very well.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
MO:...thank you for the efficient check up.
CTO_LT_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CIV: My apologies, Ensign.  Now, have you had a chance to review the initial reports?
Host CO_Woo says:
EO: Enter, lieutenant.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Heads out of sickbay and back to bridge::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Is trying not to laugh at the CIV, you seems to being 'told' by everyone::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::slides the door back and steps inside:: CO: You wanted to see me sir?
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::replies:: CTO: Well, then I guess work on the planet wouldn't be in your field at all, now would it?  I am just following what our mission brief said. Now, if it said that I was to assist you, I would. But it doesn't, so I'm not.  We are to work together, and that is all. ::without waiting for another word, he walks back down to the CNS's chair::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::enters the bridge and resumes his console::
MO_Lt_Chen says:
::Shakes her head as he walks out, wondering if he realizes how much time he ended up wasting in his desire fore efficiency.  To the room at large.::  Ensigns...
CIV_Ens_Tyler says:
::speaks up to be heard:: CTO: And yes, I have.
Host CO_Woo says:
::sighs:: EO: Yes, lieutenant. Explain yourself. I needed you on the Huron to start up ship systems. The fact that it was done, does not the negate the fact that you weren't here. Explanation, please?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Taps a few communications controls::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::gulps:: CO: Well sir......
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::hears Tyler's words and bites his tongue::
