Summary:  The crew of the Huron hiding just inside the corona of a nearby star await the arrival of two Kazon warships.  They are preparing a probe that will appear to send a communication to the Federation explaining that they are being approached by two alien vessels that refuse communication, and so must be assumed to be hostile.  As such they will be detonating a trilithium warhead inside the star destroying it, and the entire system. Hopefully the Kazon will intercept the communication and back off.
 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: makes a final check on the torpedo with Martin and seems satisfied with it :: Martin : Ok, load it and stand by for the Captain's order.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  It appears your system is better, but please Sierra, take it easy.  ::makes a note in her medical record about the allergic reaction to the drug::  That means in case you misunderstood what I just said... nothing strenuous, got it?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: In sickbay, keeping her mind calm so as not to give herself away to Randi::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: That seems to be your catch word for me since arriving here.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::keeps the ship carefully in position so near the sun::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  And what are you trying to hide from me, huh?  ::said it with a purring voice::
Martin says:
CEO: You got it Holly. :: smiles and gives her a thumbs up ::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Sits up and slips off the table.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, finishing comm probe.::  CO: Sir, I added some faked 'messages home' to go with the probe.  Might make it more believeable.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: majqa'
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Gesundheit.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Let me know when it's ready for launch.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Ready on your order, assuming it's not blasted by their approaching ships, it's programmed to head for Federation space.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Sierra?  Don't ignore the question.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Captain, Sparks here. We have the torpedo all ready for launch on your order.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: Launch the probe Commander
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I? Ignoring you?  I am feeling rather well at the moment, not at all chilled.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::Launches Comm Probe.::  Probe away, and the bet's on the table.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Sierra, I don't want to play hardball with you, but I do have a responsibility to this ship and I WILL have to answer to your husband.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow::  CNS: Did I say anything?  :: Heads for the door.::  We should return.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO: Hold our present orbit until we know for sure whether the Kazon are going to believe us.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: makes sure that the power to the metaphasic shielding is steady ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir.
 
ACTION:  The two Kazon vessels continue on their intercept course.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CO*:  Captain, this is Randi, I am releasing Sierra, but she is to do nothing strenuous... her system is not back to normal.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Is the probe transmitting yet?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CNS*: Understood
 
ACTION:  The engines start to feel the strain from the powerful gravimetric force coming from the corona.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  I will be up to check on you shortly...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: It's set to transmit as soon as it clears the corona.  Otherwise the radiation will block the signal.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts the other brow and slips through the doors and the nearest turbolift.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO: Roz, keep a watch on Sierra.  She is not back to normal and will not listen to me.  She is hiding something.  See if she will tell you what it is.~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Sir, the engines are still holding up, but not for long. The gravimetrics are killer.
Martin says:
CEO: Holly, the engines are beginning to show signs of strain.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*MedicalTeam*:  All medical teams, check in.
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  The probe clears the corona and begins transmitting.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Probe is clear, transmission begun.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: thinks to herself :: Self: Oh great, another problem to deal with.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Allows herself a smile as the lift takes her to the bridge.  But the smile vanishes as the doors open to let her out.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO: Hold our orbit as long as possible Commander
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::listens as the medical teams check in, one by one::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Shall I try hailing them again?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: Can we get the Kazon on visual yet?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: I'll try, should be able to.  ::Brings the ships up on the main view screen.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Bridge, the engines are beginning to show signs of strain from the gravametric forces of that corona. Any chance we can clear it soon?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly and quickly takes in what is going on as she makes her to her station.  With a nod to one of her people, she takes over and logs on.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO* We should know something one way or the other shortly Commander
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: Any sign that they are getting the transmission?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::grabbing her kit, she walks out the doors to continue the radiation inoculations::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Yes, I will keep an eye on her, Randi.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Sir, the torpedo is in the tube and ready for launch whenever you are ready.
 
ACTION:  Engines go offline.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Can't confirm with the sensor situation, but there's no reason they shouldn't.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Pulls up the sensor logs, noting they were not clear, but that was the consequence of their current situation.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Sir, we have problems! Engines are offline!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: Understood
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: leans on the main console and notices the readings :: Self: Now what?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her head comes up as the familiar sensation of the engines which is second nature and so usually ignored, is suddenly gone.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: Prepare to launch the 'warhead'.  Make sure the Kazon can see us doing it too.
 
ACTION:  The Huron starts being pulled in to the corona and hull temperatures begin to go up dramatically.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*Bridge*: We have a problem. Engines are offline.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::notices the engines have stopped, wondering what the blue blazes was happening now;:
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO: QI'vatlh!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Sir, warhead being loaded now.  Should we try hailing them again?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Informs science to take everything offline.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: Get them back online
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::turns and runs for the TL, watching the doors open she enters and calls for the bridge::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Martin: Shut down all power to the rest of the ship except life support and shields now and get those engines back up!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO* Shut down all non-essential systems
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::tries the thrusters in a vain attempt to get the ship out of the boiling depths of the sun:: CO: My thoughts exactly sir! Permission to swear long and hard under my breath, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: We're doing that Captain.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks over at the screens which are closed due to the brilliance of the sun.  Her thoughts swing briefly to Ethan before she turns back to her console.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO: Do we have maneuvering thrusters?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::enters the bridge and listens to everyone::
 
ACTION:  Shielding drops to 70%.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: furiously checks the panel to find the problem ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: The only thing I have at the moment, sir. And it’s not nearly enough.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Is there anything I can do to help? ::walking to her chair::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Shields dropping, activating an auto hail to warn ships the star's about to go super nova, hoping they'll decide to contact us.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO* Commander, put every bit of available power into the shields!
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Briefly thinks of the escape pods, but they would have little chance against the force of the suns gravitational pull.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Correction sir, no thrusters either.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Not unless your able to get out and push.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::throws his hands up in disgust and fights the urge to kick his console:: CO: I'll join Randi in pushing, 'cuz that is our best bet at the moment.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  If it would help Sir! ::grinning with that picture in her mind::  Maybe Roz is stronger and could do more in that area!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Have the shuttle teams secure everything in the shuttle bays, and de-pressurize them.  Maybe it can buy Commander Sparks some time to get the engines back.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: grimaces :: *CO*: Give me a moment Captain, we're still trying to get a handle on the problem down here, but it looks like it's a malfunction as a result of exterior radiation levels.
 
ACTION:  Shields drop further to 40%.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, want to help me pass out the sunblock to the crew?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::sends the orders down to the shuttle bay teams to do that.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Shields at 40% now, sir.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
::Reaches up to wipe the beads of sweat forming on her brow.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: How about baby oil, gives you a better tan.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: transfers all available power to the shields :: Self: Ok, we need a miracle about now.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Baby oil cooks, SPF 20000 ought to do the trick though! ::laughing::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: It was a good plan, despite what's happened.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO:  What do you think the odds are that the Kazon would be willing, or even able, to help us out?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks over at the captain and says nothing, knowing she didn't need to.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Better then the odds of us getting out of this otherwise.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::punches commands into his console, hoping it would somehow help getting the engines back::
 
ACTION:  The Kazon vessels come to a complete stop as they monitor their sensors.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Can any power be used by the shuttles?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: As for able, each of those ship's dwarf's us, we'd be like a snowflake on a mammoth to them.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Kason's have come to a complete stop... I believe.  Sensors rapidly degrading.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: fiddles with the warp and impulse controls looking for a way to get them back online ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: I don't think there is enough time to hook them up, and my crews are not suited up at the moment... we depressurised the shuttle bays just now.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: But would their shielding even allow then to get this close?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Not sure, we could transmit the modifications and hope they can figure them out, though.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  And after what was put into the probe, you think they would help us now?
 
ACTION:  Hull breaches start forming on the ship and the shields drop down to 20%.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: If they don't, then we die.  The Captain's plan was sound, just the execution didn’t work out too well.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up as the warning klaxons go off, but not at all surprised.  Surprised they were not already once again star particles.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:   There was no criticism meant Icky, I thought it was a fair question.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks over at Sierra::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Slams his fist on the arm of his chair:: CTO: Send out the distress call.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: works on the shielding modifications ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Transmits SOS.::  Should I send the shield modifications also?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Self:  For all the good it will do.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Catches Dylan's thought and looks at him for a moment, then turns back around.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: I doubt they would have the time to make the modifications, or even understand them, but, very well.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::turns back to his console, not quite sure what else would get them out of their predicament now::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*Bridge*: What's happening up there? We need to get out of this radiation interferrence and fast.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Transmits the modifications.::  CO: I know, but little chance is all we've got left.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
ALL:  Unless this is a dream, it has been nice knowing all of you... ::wishing there was something she could do ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Stands up directly in front of the view screen::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::decides stating the obvious at this moment would be pointless and remains quiet::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Any chance to turn up the air conditioning?  It is getting a little warm in here!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL: It has been a great honor serving with each and everyone of you.  I will look for you in Sto-vo-kor.
 
ACTION:  Shields fail and there is a blinding flash of light throughout the entire ship.

Martin says:
CEO: Holly, we're losing...:: covers his eyes  as a bright light blinds him ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: covers her eyes from the light ::
 
ACTION:  The Huron emerges from within the Corona.  The crew find themselves standing on the bridge of a now Sovereign class vessel that is armed to the ceiling with mass weapons.

Host Delor says:
COM: Huron:  Huron, this is Delor of the Kazon warship.  Did you destroy the target?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Flips her hair back in annoyance as she adjust power locations throughout the ship, grumbling about tactical and their new toy.::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::stalks around main engineering, not looking very happy... but then that is his usual expression:: All: If you preform that poorly again, I will shove each and every one out of the airlock myself. Is that clear?!
 
ACTION:  Sensors on the Huron show that their target, a cargo vessel, had in fact been destroyed.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Looks like the little weasels were destroyed Captain.  As if they stood a chance against us.
CTO_Q`tor says:
CO: Target destroyed sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO/ CTO: Aye, noted.  Good shooting.  
COM: Delor: Hrmph, What kind of question is that?  Have we failed you yet?  How about a challenge this time.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::glares around as he hears muted muttering:: All: And forget mutiny. I will know before you decide to do it.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*:  They did it again.  I would suggest hiding their new toys.  I have rebalanced power were needed for now, though there are going to be some very annoyed departments about now.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Good work.  Sorry we didn't have something better for you.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: leans back in her chair smirking at the operations officer beside her ::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*OPS*: Great, they break stuff and I have to fix it. I'm going to reprogram the Captain's replicator to serve him sand for a month. Sand, nothing but sand... hot desert sand!!
CTO_Q`tor says:
XO: Hmmph.  When will we get something that is worthy of a true warrior?
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::waits to hear Delor's response to the CO::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: See if you can get anything useful from the flotsam.
Host Delor says:
COM: Huron:  So, you want a challenge?  Well, we are transmitting the coordinates of your next target.  I hope you don't disappoint.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Aye Sir...
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*:  Now I wouldn't mind some of that for my quarters.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Maneuver us closer so the CTO can pick up some of that garbage out there.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  Great flying as usual, but this is getting a bit old.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*OPS*: Be nice to me, and we can talk about it.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Delor: We wait with unbridled ambition to see what kind of target you feel is worthy of us.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: her fingers fly over the console :: XO: Hey we better get our share if there is anything that's valuable.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*: But I'm always nice to you sugar.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  You worry about your flying... the Captain will decide on the shares.
CTO_Q`tor says:
::checks targeting scanners:: XO:  Garbage just about sums it up.  There's nothing there worth retrieving.
 
ACTION:  The coordinates come in and show of a peaceful mining colony on a planet two days away.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::fingers her phaser for emphasis::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: *OPS*: That you are. Same time later?
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns to face the XO but gives the CO a wink :: XO: I'm going to keep an eye on you.....a close eye.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*: I'll be there... :: smiles::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Sorry sweetie but you are NOT my type... I suggest you put your eyes back on your console if you want to continue to have eyes.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Starts sending crews out to check various systems, and to fix up whatever other problems there might be.:: All: Remember, and engineer's work is never done, someone will always break something.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, the CTO says there is nothing much in the debris... you want to waste our time collecting it?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her chuckle turns quickly into a cough as she just catches herself at the first officers comment.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO: You wish! :: whispers under her breath :: Self: Incompetant imbecile!
CTO_Q`tor says:
XO: Receiving coordinates for our next target. ::growls in disgust:: A mining colony.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: No, wouldn't pay for the fuel used up.  But I swear, if this next target isn't a bit better, Delor's going to have some answers to give.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO: Keep it up and I will have you up for insubordination charges Missy...
CTO_Q`tor says:
XO: At least there should be something to make it worth the effort.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Lay in a course, let's see what kind of target it really is.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Shakes her head and quietly catches the status reports coming in.::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Well, perhaps this mining colony has a few minerals we can use.  It has to be better than this target...
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: stands and walks over to the CO, leaning on his chair :: XO: My man here might have something to say about that. :: kisses him passionately and then walks back to her seat ::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CEO*:  What is the status on the engines?
Host Delor says:
COM: Huron:  You are to "convince" these people to ally themselves with us.  If they prove difficult, you know what to do.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*XO*: They work, don't they. Stop bothering me, I have to fix the things you break all the time.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: It better.  And I hope they have some defenses.  
FCO: I have something to say about everything.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain... ::leaning over to him::  If you want the FCO as your Exec, then make your choice now.  I will not put up with her catty tongue.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Pleasantly... too pleasantly::  XO: Status report on your console now.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: pops on the viewscreen as she overhears the XO ::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Thank you... let me know if any chatter appears as we near the colony.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Just do your job.  If you did yours like she does hers...well, never mind that for now.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::goes stalking through the ship, checking on his teams::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::well we will just have to see about this won't we Captain...::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::standing she walks over to the CTO's chair::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Delor: We know what to do, all for the Kazon it is, as it should be.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  Will do...
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: grins as she hears the Captain :: Self: And I do it so well.
CTO_Q`tor says:
:: listening to the catfighting between the XO and FCO ::  Self: SaHut
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Glances up at the chronometer, counting down the time to meet with Dylan.::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::leaning over she whispers into the CTO's ear::  CTO:  I think we can do something to make this ship run more efficient, don't you think?
Host Delor says:
COM: Huron:  You have done the Kazon proud and you will be rewarded for that.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Any chance from Delor's message that there will be some resistance this time?
CTO_Q`tor says:
XO:  I can think of any number of ways, but it is not my place to say.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: leans over to OPS :: OPS: Hey, any chance you can procure some of that ale I've heard about? I need to surprise the Captain. :: winks ::
CTO_Q`tor says:
CO: Nothing sir.  Only that it is a 'peaceful' mining colony.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Well, why don't you think about it and come to my quarters after duty shift is over.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sighs.::  All: Some times I wonder if we aren't too good for our own good.  We already took out all of the really good targets it seems.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, when we arrive, I do hope you will let me do the convincing with the colonists.
CTO_Q`tor says:
:: Looks at the XO lasciviously:: XO: By your command.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::thinks over the new fighting technique he's been studying.::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Taps her lip thoughtfully.::  FCO: I might just know where some is.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sure, why not?
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::resting her arm on the CTO's she gives it a little squeeze in acknowledgement::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: I'll make it worth your while..name your price.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::louds out a loud laugh::  CO:  You have just made my day!  How convincing should I be?
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::starts reprimanding one of his repair crews for no apparent reason, just because he was in a good mood after all::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns half around and blows the Captain a kiss ::
CTO_Q`tor says:
::Begins weapons inventory and diagnostics::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Whatever it takes, they won't dare resist us anyway.  If they do, it will be the last thing they do.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  Let me get back to you on that.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sends the Captain a text message about the XO warning him that she's up to no good ::
