FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
USS Huron 10504.16

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
SUMMARY:  The Huron has been recalled without a reason being given, which mystified the crew somewhat, since they were still involved in the rescue attempt.  But orders are orders, and so the Huron is en route.  What will they find?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::In the Holodeck in his white pajama outfit exercising with his bethl'eth.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks over the latest readings on transporters to be sure they are still functioning perfectly.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Sitting at the helm having a ball with the Huron.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, attempting to put together a review of our handling of the evac situation.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Sits in the Big Chair, wondering what the reason for the recall is, but doesn't want to call Ethan to find out.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Keeps a careful eye on system statuses on the way home.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Glances over towards Icky and then back to her console.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Grins at the thoughts of some of the crew.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::In his quarters, reading a few letters and padds, before shuffling them off into a corner and heading back out to the replicator to return some dishes.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Ah go ahead, you are dying to find out what's up!~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS:  Actually, I don't want to know.  I've just got a funny feeling.  You know the kind.  Good and bad?~~~

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Checks her readings on the console with engineering and tactical.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I still need to find a home for that Sehlat.  I'm not sure which will win between him and the reptile, but they are tearing up the place.  And I think the lizard is starting to learn the environmental controls to help his cause!

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Been there, done that, as the expression goes.  But I don't pick up anything out of the normal from Ethan, well sorta.~~~

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Swings his bethl'eth in slow graceful arcs around and over himself.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Tugging at his uniform, he slips on his shoes and walks out into the corridor with his engineering padd in hand, as he makes his way for the turbolift.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks up and smiles.::  CTO:  Sorry, Icky,  I've asked several of the crew, but no one wants to take a chance on that Sehlat.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS:  Well, I'll just wait until we are there.  Put it off until the last moment.~~~

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I know.  Well, maybe I can get him a sweater or something?  Might help.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  That is one dangerous animal.  You are lucky the lizard hasn't been eaten.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Well you're so talented, knit one.  ::Giggles.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Chicken?  And here I thought you were human!~~~ ::Begins to laugh so he can hear her.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS:  Nah, he's a good hunter himself.  On Andor they've been known to take out some pretty big beasts.  Well, big for their size.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Smiles.::  ~~~CNS:  I'm just not wearing my feathers.~~~

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Knit one?  Do I look like I knit?  Crochet maybe, but not knit.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Steps into the turbolift, a bit disoriented.::  Turbolift:  Um... main engineering, please.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Giggles.::  CTO:  I wouldn't think crochet... might get your antennae wrapped up in those fine threads!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Shakes her head.::  CTO:  Okay, so you're not a knitting diva.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Finishes his workout, and bethl'eth in hand leaves the holodeck.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Shakes his head over the bridge talk, deciding it’s more productive to sit and brood than join in.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO/CNS:  To be honest, I really wouldn't know the difference between the two.  I think they both deal with yarn, but beyond that I'm at a loss.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  No worries, just replicate something then.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Heads out of the turbolift, and steps into main engineering.  Looking about, he heads for one of the consoles to run his usual list of menial things to do.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Enters his quarters, and hangs his bethl'eth on the wall.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Activates the sonic shower as he changes clothes.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Finishes up her report and waits for the systems check from Adahn.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Honestly though, keeping a hot, desert beast and a frozen world beast in the same quarters isn't the best way to do things.

OPS_Salvatore says:
CEO/CNS/CTO:  My mother tried to teach me how to crochet when I was a girl.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles at Salvatore.::  OPS:  Did you ever master it?

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  My mothers didn't bother.  Probably thought I'd take the stuff and rig up a wrestling ring or something.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  My mother didn't teach me anything like that.  We were too busy digging up relics!

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Suddenly get up and walks over to the replicator.::  All:   Anybody for something to drink?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Clicks his tongue, as the first set of diagnostics comes through.:: *CEO*:  Good morning, Ma'am.  Systems clear across the board, as usual.  Talk to you tomorrow morning.  Ilianor out.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Yeah, some fruit juice, ah... selection 341.

OPS_Salvatore says:
CEO:  I tried making a turtleneck for myself a few years ago; came out with a third arm where the neck was supposed to be!

OPS_Salvatore says:
CNS:  You're an archaeologist?  I never knew that!

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  No thanks, Sir.  I'm fine.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Pulls on his fur vest, followed by his cloak.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Giggles.::  OPS:  That isn't too bad, if you have 3 arms!

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  Nothing for me, thanks, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS:  Cool, at least you learned something.

OPS_Salvatore says:
CNS:  And no head.  ::Smiles.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
CEO:  Haven't tried it since.  It just didn't fit right.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  My parents were.  I was with them for several years.  I was all over the galaxy.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Slips his Daq'tagh in its sheath and heads out the door on his way to the bridge.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  Could work with a really, really long neck.

OPS_Salvatore says:
CNS:  Sounds exciting!

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Chuckles at Salvatore's comment and gets the juice.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
CTO:  Have a friend with a long neck?  I still have it in my quarters.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  It wasn't for a young child.  All I could see was grown-ups playing in the dirt like kids!

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Laughs.::  OPS:  Sorry, no.  Furry necks, yes, but not long.

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Chuckles at the CNS and CTO's statements.::  CNS:  Ever want to join them?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  I did, I had my own sites, and believe it or not, I found some really interesting things.  ::Grinning.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Enters the bridge staying near the back to make sure he's not in anyone’s way.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Anyway, report on our last mission is going through now.  A bit more detailed and, well, petty than normal.  Not to mention longer.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Turns and smiles at the Klingon, as she sensed his presence on the bridge.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Hands Randi her juice and goes to sit down again, sipping his coffee.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  Son?  That's rather a short report.  Is there anything else that I should know?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He takes a look around, before heading back for the turbolift.  He steps in.::  Turbolift:  Cargo bay.

OPS_Salvatore says:
CNS:  Really?  Anything really memorable?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Nods to the Counselor.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Thanks Roz.  ~~~And if you don't pick up that bottom lip, you are going to trip over it!~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Nods at Q'Tor as he sits.::  CIV:  You are welcome to come and sit here in the Exec chair.  It’s not like anybody is going to kick you out of it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Starts to walk across the bridge deck towards Roz.::  FCO:  Roz, is there something bothering you?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Well, just some pottery fragments that put the timeline on one civilization.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  Not particularly, Ma'am.  There are no surprises this morning. Well, there's a minor impulse manifold recalibration scheduled for this afternoon, and I'm going to the cargo bay right now to make sure... uh...clean-up's progressing apace.  I'll keep you posted.

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  The TL comes to a stop, trapping the EO inside.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS:  I'll have a long lip if I want to,  I'll just sit here then I won't trip over it.  I just have a funny feeling, Randi, and I don't want to confront it.~~~

OPS_Salvatore says:
CNS:  What civilization?

CIV_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Thank you, Sir.  ::Helps himself to the Exec chair.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He looks upwards, as the turbolift suddenly stops.::  Turbolift:  Um... Computer?  Respond, computer.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Smiles up at Holly.::  CEO:  Yes, and no.  Call it a premonition.  I just don't feel this return to base is going to be all moonlight and roses.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  I don't remember now.  ::Begins to think about her dead parents and how much she misses them at times.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  Very well, Lieutenant.  You do that and take an extra hour for lunch today.  You deserve it.  Sparks out.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
Self:  Huh.  You've got to be kidding me. 
Turbolift:  Computer, cargo bay!  ::Sighing, he pulls off a panel... either getting the turbolift to run again, or causing it to plunge to his death...:: *CEO*:  Ah... actually, there might just be a small problem.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Leans on Roz' chair.::  FCO:  Speaking of moonlight and roses, I hear that Ethan might be at the Starbase.

OPS_Salvatore says:
CNS:  Do you still have the fragments?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  Excuse me Roz.  The boy needs me it seems.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra:  When you get a team clear, I want to start another round of diagnostics on the Personal Phasers.  Assign each person, oh, 3 should do.  I want to keep us all fresh on the inner workings.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Nods.::  CEO:  So the rumor goes.  We'll see.  Maybe this time I get past his defenses.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  No, that was 10 years ago.  All that was turned over to the Federation archives.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  Lieutenant?  What's the problem?

OPS_Salvatore says:
CNS: That's too bad.  I'm sure they'd make an interesting convenient conversation piece.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Frowning, he steps back for a bit.::  *CEO*:  It seems that the turbolift system is due for an overhaul on this ship.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  I don't believe my parents ever kept anything.  The smallest things were considered important.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CIV:  How are things with you?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  I've already given that work order to the engineering department.  It will be done once we reach the base.

CIV_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Actually very good.  I am glad to be back onboard a starship.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Oh that reminds me, Marie should have sent you our supply list.  Did you get it?

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Frowns.  She really wanted to see those fragments.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  I'm also... kinda.... um, stuck in said turbolift.  ::He hits the panel a few times, before giving in to the fact that the turbolift's down for good.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CIV:  That is good to hear.  Everybody treating you well?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS:  Yes, I got it.  Thank you, Randi.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  You broke the lift?  Son, will you never learn?  ::Sighs and walks back to her console.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  Holly, why don't you just do a site to site transport?  Or is this "teach the staff a lesson" time?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  I did no such thing, Ma'am!  ::Sits down, bringing his knees up to his chest as he begins to fume quietly.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Smiles.::  FCO:  Very well.  But I think there are still a few crew that are intimidated by a Klingon not in uniform on board

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Q'Tor, when are we going to practice again?  I had so much fun!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks for the location of the malfunction.::  *EO*:  I'm studying the situation now.  Hang on.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  I am at your disposal, Counselor

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Grins.::  CIV:  It is a disconcerting sight.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  In... the meantime... could someone, like, transport me out of here?  I have quite a list of things to do today... Ma'am?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Are you sure?  ::Begins to giggle at his phrasing.::

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  Power comes back on in the TL and it starts moving again.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Whispers.::  FCO:  To be honest I rather enjoy it.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CIV:  If it helps, you could always follow behind the Antican brothers.  They are kind of distracting.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Grins at Roz.::  FCO:  You know perfectly well that a site to site transport is not to be used just for the heck of it.  Are you trying to get me in trouble?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Stands up again.::  Self:  Ah, there we go. 
*CEO*:  Whatever you did, Ma'am, it seems to have worked.  The turbolift system is up again.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Grins and whispers back.::  CIV:  I would too if I were you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sees that the problem has been resolved.::  *EO*:  It's functioning now, son.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  At the moment my duties for Starfleet intelligence are rather light.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Seals the panel again.::  Turbolift:  Cargo bay, as before.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CTO:  I will keep that in mind.  ::Smiles.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Looks up at Holly.::  CEO:  Erm... well, not on purpose, no.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Well, I wanted you to know how much I appreciated the instruction and the little gift.  I have been practicing with it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  Ahuh.  Well I'll have my people run a full diagnostic on all turbolifts just to satisfy my own curiosity.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Looks over at Randi.::  CNS:  Another lethal weapon?

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Just be careful of who’s around you when you practice.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self:  Speaking of which.  
*Bee*:  Did you guys get those qualifiers started?  I want to get mine done so I can get back to the fun side of running the test.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  I am sure the report will be very enlightening.  ::Smiles to show he's joking.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Me?  Have another weapon?  You must be kidding!  ::Trying to hide her smile.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::The doors open, and he steps through, heading for the cargo bay.  With his luck, it's probably still a total mess.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: I never kid.  ::Tries to keep a serious face.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sends a message to her people to run a full systems check of the lifts.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Always, I like to surprise, not be surprised!

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  I will show it to you later.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes her way over to the CTO.::  CTO:  Commander, when you have some free time I'd like to talk to you.  ::Smiles sweetly.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  By the way, Counselor, something has been nagging at me ever since you told me of your.... concern.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Q'Tor, if you will stop by my quarters after my shift is over, I have a little surprise for you.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  And that is?  ::Curious.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS:  Ooohh!  After all this time?~~~  ::Projects a smile at her.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  How does one sneak up on a telepath?  ::Smiles.::  And Counselor!  I am married!

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Turns and wiggles her eyebrows at Roz.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He steps into the cargo bay, and takes a quick look around.::  Self:   Well, at least they got the goat smell out of the place.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Sure, just trying to get a few things started, but they can run themselves, I'm certain.  
Angeltra:  You have the Bridge Tactical Station.  Keep an eye on the active roster.  I want to make sure Scoo and Bee aren't just in the ring playing "Go Fish" again.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Huh?  What does your being married have to do with my training or the surprise I have for you?  ::Truly puzzled.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Smiles and wonders if Q'Tor thinks the eyebrow waggle from Randi is for him.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  What's up?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Ponders his question, then answers.::  CIV:  Well, there have been times when there were so many minds in my head, I was not able to focus on just one mind.  ::Then grins.::  But otherwise, very hard with me, however.  I like to be prepared!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Oh not here!  I'm sorry,  I should have said free time when you're off duty.  I do apologize.  ::Blushes.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Chuckles to himself.::  CNS:  My being married has nothing to do with your training, but it could have a great deal to do with your surprise depending on what it is.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles.::  CEO:  Not a problem at all.  No need to apologize.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*Shane*:  Are you near my quarters?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Actually, it wasn't all that important, but I did want to talk to you......privately.

Shane says: 
*CNS*:  Yes, and you know it.  I was just checking on Baby.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Looks down at the time on his console.::  CNS:  Randi, sorry to interrupt, but what is our ETA?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Walking through the vast cargo bay, he pulls aside one of the engineers.::  Engineer:  Did the damned refugees do anything to the engineering systems in here?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*Shane*:  If you will, I have a small box on the table, would you mind bringing it to the bridge?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Looking at the console, she taps a button.::  FCO:  20 hours, unless you want me to goose her!

Shane says:
*CNS*:  Right, be there in a few!

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Grins.::  CNS:  No need to goose the ship.  20 hours is fine with me.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Okay, I'll see you then.  Or I'll still see you then, as I obviously already am seeing you now.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Ah, you are no fun today!  ::Imagines the Huron going at warp 10.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Confused.::  CNS:  What does that mean?  "Goose her"?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  That means, to run her at the top speed she can attain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Blinks.::  CTO:  See me when?  I can see you now, but when I don't know.

Engineer says: 
EO:  Ah, no not really, though one of the farm animals, we think, was nibbling on some of the protective panels in the back over there.  We're getting those fixed up right now.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Ahh

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS:  I am chicken, remember... I was considering slowing down to warp 1.~~~

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Shane walks onto the bridge and over to Randi, giving her the box she requested.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Yeah, right...~~~

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Q'tor, this is for you.  ::Holding the box out for him.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Bats his eyelids at Randi.::  ~~~CNS:  You mean, you are?~~~

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Steps from his seat to accept the box.::  CNS:  Thank you.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  I am what?  NO, I am NOT slowing down the Huron.~~~

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Opens the box to find a wristwatch.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS:  Never mind.  I'll draw you pictures later.~~~

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Looks at the Counselor.::  CNS:  Am I late for something?

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Turns and looks at Roz, raising her eyebrow in a question?::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Pretends not to notice and busily reads a report.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Nods, and heads back out of the cargo bay... he can smell the goat now.... he moves back into the turbolift.::  Turbolift:  Bridge.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  No, but you liked mine so well in the holodeck, I made you one.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Remembers the thin wire that stretched from her own wristwatch.:: CNS:  Ahhh!  ::Pulls the same type of wire out of the watch.::

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Go ahead, pretend to ignore me...~~~ ::Pictures all his pants ripped.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Thank you, Counselor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Icky, are you all right?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS:  I can't explain here.~~~

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CIV:  You are welcome, Q'tor.  One gift deserves another.  ::Glad that he liked the present.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Yeah, just thinking.  Trying to work out a new drill, and not sure what I can pull on 'em anymore to keep them thinking.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I have a suggestion if you don't mind me butting in.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Sits intrigued as he pulls the wire out and lets it slip back in.  Pulls it out, and lets it slip back in.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  You're always working.  Can't you relax even for a few hours?

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS:  Sure, what do you have?   Best I got is lock them in the Holodeck in a ship to ship sim and shut down targeting sensors.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I have several training programs that Tio left me.  I would be happy to let you use them.  I am the only one from tactical that has seen them, and there are many interesting situations in them.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Heads off the turbolift, and logs in at the engineering console.::  CEO:   As if the refugees couldn't find any other way to harass us, their goats were chewing up the cargo bay.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Settles in the chair, reading the last report to come in... something about a goat smell in the cargo bay.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I relax, just not on the Bridge.  I have to keep sharp and keep the teams sharp on duty.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns as IIianor speaks.::  EO:  Have the repair crews been assigned to handle that?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Unconsciously reaches behind her and grips Icky's hand for a moment.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Sighs.::  CEO:  Yes, the clean-up and maintenance team in the cargo bay only just informed me about the problem, but they're working on fixing the place up.  I swear, if they didn't have to move to a new planet, I'd send them a bill or something.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Still sitting, completely engrossed with the thin wire coming in and out of the watch.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS:  I've reviewed most of the programs in what he left in the computers.  Tweaked a bit, as some of the older ones have seen them before.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  These are my personal tapes.  Up to you if you want to use them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves back to her station.::  EO:  So the damage didn't affect any systems then.
