CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: shifts one pack to her left shoulder and she checks the second pack for her tools as she waits in the transporter room ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::In Transporter Room, locking our Type II's into the computer so they can be disabled by remote if needed.:: *TO*: You've got manual over ride on the Phasers if needed.  Do me a favor.  Run a few "targetting drills with the Phasers, just so they're on line as a reminder.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::sitting at her helm station::
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: Commander, do what you have to do, and get back here as quickly as possible.
TO_Ens_Bates says:
*CTO*: Aye, commander. ::calls up the targeting display, and begins one of the preprogrammed drill sequences::
MO_Payne says:
*CO*: Captain.... Commander Anya Odan is STILL unconscious. I do not recommend attempting to revive her at this time.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Aye Captain. I don't want to spend any more time over there than I have to.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*MO*: jIyaj.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO: What sort of weaponry does the Pakled vessel have?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Ready when you are.  Hope I'm being paranoid with all this.  Not all Pakled's are tricksters...I think.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles as she steps on the pad :: CTO: I'll be sure and keep Scoo and Bee close.
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::looks up a little nervously, still not quite used to the klingon captain:: CO: Just... a few disabled lasers, sir. Nothing... too worrisome.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO: Very well.  Keep phasers on standby... just in case.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
AT: Then let's do this.
*CO*: We're beaming over now, be back soon.
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::nods, and goes back to watching the drill results come in, setting the weapons' actual status to standby::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Transporter Operator: Beam us over.
 
ACTION: The away team disappear from the transporter pad..... 

ACTION: The transporter beeps urgently.... no confirmation of pattern re-integration.
 
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO: Sir the transporters...Something is very wrong.
Transporter Tech says:
::Checks the Transporters and attempts to recall the signal.::
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: What do you mean 'wrong'?
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO: I don't exactly know but I sense something is very wrong.
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::scans the other ship for the team's life signs::
 
ACTION: The away team....  begins to re-integrate on the pads.... then ... they are transported to their original destination... the Pakled ship.
 
ACTION: The away team have serious headaches.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Transporter Tech*: Transporter Room, what is happening?
Transporter Tech says:
*CO*: Sir, we may have a situation here, the Away Team was put into the Transporter buffers, and for some reason there was a delay in reintegration on the other side.  Going to begin a full diagnostic immediately.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: materializes on a rather dark and dingy Pakled ship :: All: Boy that was interesting. Anyone else feel funny? :: shakes her head ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Materializes, wondering what took so long and what happened to my head.::  CEO: Yeah, my head feels like it's sitting under a glacier.
 
ACTION: As the away team materialize on the Pakled vessel. 4 of them rush towards them.
 
FCO: Take a shuttle. Position it just off the Pakled ship and use the transporters to maintain a lock on the away team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO: Icky, there must be a problem with something on the Huron. I should have Lewis check it out. :: holds her head ::
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::instinctively programs in a lock on their power core, just in case, but doesn't actually activate it yet::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Steps forward, trying to focus on the rushing Pakleds.::  Scoo: Up front, they're trying something...
 
@ ACTION: The 4 Pakleds give the CEO and CTO a big.... hug.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakleds: Uh, greetings.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Pakled: Ugh! Hey don't squash your help!
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::grins:: CEO/CTO: Our ship is broken... you make us go?
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Understood sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: That's what we're here for.  Which way to your engine rooms?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Pakled_OPS: We will try and help.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: That would be good.  Never felt a Transport like that.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::hands off her controls to her relief and heads for the shuttle bay::
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::bobs his head up and down:: CEO/CTO: OK.   ::begins to waddle to a door::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: whispers to Scoo :: Scoo: Stay close ok? I don't know for sure, but I think these guys are up to something.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin: Ensign, got the crystals?
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::enters the TL and  orders it to the shuttle bay::
EO_Martin says:
@CEO: Right here Holly. :: pats his bag ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: follows Scoo and the Pakled ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Follows the Pakled, looking about and smiling at those around.::  *CO*: We're aboard and making our way to the Engine room.  Had a bit of an issue with the Transporter.  It felt...strange.
Transporter Tech says:
::Running a diagnostic on the Transporter system.::
 
ACTION: LRS detect a vessel then........   they do not. The reading lasted 2.3 seconds.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::exits the TL and walks into the shuttle bay and does a preflight check on one of the shuttles::
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CEO*:  The transporter tech reported that there had been a delay in the transport.  Ensign Bishara will be transporting you back via shuttle.
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::looks up suddenly:: CO: Sir, I have a ship incoming... ::glances back down at his display, and raises an eyebrow:: It's gone, sir...
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::stops in the next room and points:: CEO: It is here.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*CO*: Understood Captain, but I'm having Ensign Lewis check it out as well.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO:  Any idea what type of ship?
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Ready to depart sir.  Preflight checks done sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: nods to the Pakled  and goes inside the room ::
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::just shakes his head:: CO: The reading only lasted for... about 2.3 seconds. Couldn't get anything identifiable from it in that time.
EO_Martin says:
@:: follows Scoo and Holly inside ::
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Permission to depart.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Brings up the rear of the group, noting the layout of the room.::
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: You are cleared for launch.  Keep you long range sensors active Ensign.  Report anything out of the ordinary that you might get.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: JIyaj.
 
ACTION: 2 more Pakleds move towards the CEO and CTO arms outstretched in hug formation.

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::fine-tunes the sensors a little, in an attempt at getting a little more information out of their surroundings::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO: Icky, Martin and I will replace the Dilithium crystals as fast as we can. :: sees two more fat Pakleds moving closer ::
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO: focus sensors on the area that the ship appeared.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::eases out the shuttle and brings it around to lie just off the Pakled ship and engages her LRS as well:
TO_Ens_Bates says:
CO: Already doing so, captain. ::nods::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Self: Oh boy, more happy campers.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: Looks like this ship is rather lonely.  They could use a gift certificate to Monkeyrum's for a good night on the town.
Pakleds says:
@::in perfect harmony:: CEO/CTO: You make us go?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Pakleds : Hi boys! Your help is here.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::scanning for any sensor shadows and brings the transporter online and picks up the viridian patches of the AT::
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO: Standby to raise shields at the first sign of trouble.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :; smiles at Icky :: CTO: Not before we do.
TO_Ens_Bates says:
CO: Aye.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakleds: Yes, we will.  What happened here?  Engines break down I know, but did they show you any signs they were going?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: looks around for the Dilithium chamber access ::
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::stares blankly:: CTO: Engines go... then they stop.... engines broken.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#*CO*: Sir have established transporter lock on AT via the viridian patches and have the LRS online.
EO_Martin says:
@CEO: Over there Holly. ::points and walks over to the far wall and puts down his pack ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: OK, quick break.  Thanks.  You might want to arrange for some maintenance assistance from Starbase 71 when we're done here.  They do great work, and they have lots of friendly places to visit while it's done.
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::nods:: CTO: Ok
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: FCO: majqa. Maintain your position.
 CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: puts down both her packs and opens the smaller one looking for a laser wrench to open the hatch ::
EO_Martin says:
@CEO: Those crystals are really burnt out Holly. I wonder how they managed to do that?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin: Poor maintenance I bet. These Pakleds are not known for their engineering skills.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: What are you guys carrying?  Visit any interesting planets lately?
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::keeps his eyes on the sensors, and tries to get a bit more sensitivity out of them::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin: Here grab this one. :: pulls out one crystal and hands it to Martin ::
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::looks from one of his buddies to the other:: CTO: We look for things.... we look for things that make us go.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::tweeks her sensors a tiny bit::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: Ah, the quest for self improvement.  Where you look last?  Have any luck?
OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Sends a message to Starfleet and informs them of our situation::
EO_Martin says:
@:: takes the burnt crystal and admires it for a moment :: CEO: It's beautiful even in this state.
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::nods:: CTO: Ah..........  that a way........  ::points::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:; pulls out a second crystal :: Martin: Indeed they are, but I just wish these guys, :: nods her head at the Pakleds :: would learn some basic engineering skills.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: Any luck there?  We could use some self-improvement when we get a chance.  Might take a visit that a way.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin: Ok, let's get the new ones in place. I'll have to recalibrate each one as I place them in the correct position.
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::shakes head:: CTO: Our ship is broken... we do not have things to make it go.
 EO_Martin says:
@:: hands Holly one crystal and the recalibrator ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: That'll be fixed soon I'm sure.  Where you headed when they are?
OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::thinking:: Self: I still can't believe something hasn't gone wrong...
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::maintaining the lock on the AT and keeps the other eye on the sensors::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: sets the second one in place and recalibrates it ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin: All done. You can close up the hatch please.
Transporter Tech says:
*CO*: Sir... I cannot certify the transporters at this time.... I would swear that something jammed the transporter signal for a moment... then was gone. No sensor recordings  I have confirm my hunch. 
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: turns to Icky and the Pakleds :: CTO/Pakleds :: All done gentlemen.
EO_Martin says:
@:: closes the hatch and picks up all the tools and places them in the bags ::
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::frowns:: CTO: Maybe starbase....   they might have things to make us go.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Transporter Tech*: Engineering will be looking it over.  In the mean time we'll use the shuttles’ transporters
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: Good to hear.
Pakled: See? Now you're ready to go.  As I said, you should check out Starbase 71, they've got a great couple of Monkeyrum outlets there.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO: You can tell the Captain that everything seems to be in working order here.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
COM:*CO*: Sir transporters have AT locked and ready for transport sir.
Transporter Tech says:
*CO*: Good plan Sir. Transporter Room out.
Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::shakes head:: CTO: We do not need animals. We need things to make us go.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: FCO: As soon as we have word that they are ready Ensign, beam them out.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CO*: Captain, repairs have been completed.  We've suggested to our new friends that they make a trip to Starbase 71 to make use of the maintenance facilities.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
COM:*CO*: JIyaj
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: Monkeyrum isn't an animal, it's a bar, a place to relax and talk to people.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*: Very well.
*FCO*: The away team is ready ensign.  Bring them home.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::quickly locks on the viridian patches and engages the transporters::
Host Pakled_OPS says:
@ ::stares blankly at Ec'The'lon:: CTO: Ok.
OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::notices something on his console:: Self: What’s this?
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
COM*CO*: Energizing sir now.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Pakled: Anyway, have a good trip, and hope to see you at a latter time.
 
ACTION: The Away team appear in the shuttle.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#COM*CO*: All Away Team members are here sir.
OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
Self: Huh, wonder what this could be... CO: Sir, we're receiving a priority one signal from Qo'nos encrypted for you.
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::turns and counts heads and smiles:: All: Welcome home.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#FCO: Thanks.  That group was, well, earily friendly we'll say.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: You are cleared for landing Ensign
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::turns the shuttle around and heads for the Huron and gently eases her in the shuttle bay and sets her down gently::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
#:: sets done her bags for a moment and sighs ::
FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Thank you sir we are home.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: Any chance they'll follow my advice and head for Starbase to make sure this don't happen again?
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS: Qo'noS?! I'll take it in my ready room.
Pakled_OPS says:
@ COM: Huron: CO: Our ship will go now....  we will go now.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: You're kidding right? Those guys would get lost trying to find their socks.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Pakled: Very well.
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
aFCO: Resume course to Lemarac.
OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::transfers the com to the Captain's console in the ready room::
 
ACTION: The Pakled vessel goes into warp directly towards Starbase 71.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Waits for the AT bridge officers to return to the bridge::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: I know, but we can hope that everyone has the capacity for learning.  What's the phrase?  Hope springs eternal?  ::Smiles and moves to exit the shuttle.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: steps out onto the deck and stretches :: CTO: I wish Icky.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: give Martin orders to return to engineering as she waits for Icky ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Coming Icky? I think the Captain would like a personal report from you. :: grins ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Right behind you.  Next step, find out why a Transport took so long and gave us headaches I think.
TO_Ens_Bates says:
::sits back in his chair, and look good doing it::
CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Heads to the Ready Room to take the call from Qo'noS.
