::Steps in behind XO:

XO_Valar says:
CSO: Have all my containers been brought over from the Brut?

MO_Endo says:
::Suddenly "wakes up":: CO: Nothing yet, Sir.

FCO_Hicks says:
SO: Talac, what's the status of the array?

CSO-Temal says:
XO: I apologize for our appearance, but almost being crushed can mess up a station pretty badly.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO*: Apologize accepted, but hurry please.

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: We're definitely not at our best right now.

MO_Endo says:
CO: We haven't done any research with trying to use it.  As I said we couldn't do much research and what we did do, we did think of using conventional methods.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Yes, Ma'am.  They were immediately sent to your quarters.

XO_Valar says:
CSO: That is quite all right.  I have been briefed on your situation here.

SO_Talac_Zal says:
FCO: Sir, sensor array is at 76%.  I'm working on increasing that number.

CNSToni says:
XO: We have had a rather rough ride lately.  You have read the latest reports?

TO_Corjet says:
::Walks into Ops:: CTO: Reporting for duty, Sir.

XO_Valar says:
CSO: There were quite a few containers.  Are you sure they are ALL in my quarters?

FCO_Hicks says:
SO: Good job, carry on.

CSO-Temal says:
::Enters the turbolift and holds the door for everyone else::

MO_Endo says:
CO: The idea of using transporters does carry some weight though.

SO_Talac_Zal says:
FCO: Yes, Sir.

XO_Valar says:
CNS: Yes, I have read the reports.  We have a lot of work to do here.

Host CO_ReginS says:
MO: Come up with an idea!

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Great. I need you to help with this console.  It is not working properly.

XO_Valar says:
::Enters turbolift::

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: I'll check the transporter logs personally.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: All of them that were beamed over to us, unless the Brut crew forgot to send some over.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Enters turbolift::

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.  What seems to be the problem?

XO_Valar says:
OPS: Thank you.

MO_Endo says:
CO: Well...

CNSToni says:
::Enters turbolift::

CSO-Temal says:
Computer: Ops

SO_Talac_Zal says:
::Remodulating the sensor array and collecting diagnostic data::

MO_Endo says:

CSO-Temal says:
::Listens as the turbolift moves along.  Looks at the XO trying to become accustom to her::

XO_Valar says:
::Rides the turbolift with the others::

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Coughs:: MO: Zi... what baby?

SO_Talac_Zal says:
::Increases power output and adjusts the emitters::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: A couple of minutes ago I requested the Cutlass tactical status report and I detected a blinking in the console and I think that it is a data transmission problem.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Perhaps you have some questions about our situation or past status?

Host CO_ReginS says:
CEO:  Don't even worry about it.  Corzi will have you healthy again soon.

MO_Endo says:
CEO: I meant the worm... it's gestating in your womb so I'm referring to it as a baby.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Studies the XO::

XO_Valar says:
CSO: I have been briefed and requested updated status reports be placed on my desk for inspection upon my arrival.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Do you know if there is a virus in the Cutlass that they may have accidentally sent us?

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Jumps, tries to sit up:: MO: Worm? What worm?

FCO_Hicks says:
::Checking status of the Federation ships::

Host CO_ReginS says:
CEO: Calm down, Megan.

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks over at Megan::

MO_Endo says:
::Oops:: CEO: Bad joke.

CNSToni says:
XO: You will find that the moral of the crew is quite high despite all of the disruptions.  They are all working very hard towards recovery.

CSO-Temal says:
::Turns as the turbolift doors open wide and leads the XO out::  XO: The Captain is in sickbay with his wife.  He sends his regards.

MO_Endo says:
CEO: Tamel's right, you'll be healthy again soon.

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: If not very tired.

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Sits up and tries to get out of bed:: MO: Zi?  What are you talking about?

XO_Valar says:
CSO: Thank you.  Can you show me where my office is?

CTO_Marek says:
TO: No, I think the console has trouble in receiving data.  This must be fixed at once. Remember we share the Cutlass tactical sensors.

Host CO_ReginS says:
CEO: Megan, you need to lie down and stay calm.

XO_Valar says:
OPS: We are receiving additional personnel to alleviate the stress on the crew.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Of course.  This way.  ::Heads for the Executive Officer's office::  XO: There's our second in command, Lt. Hicks

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes.

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: Yes and we desperately need them.  It will be another 2 months before we reach minimum operational status.

MO_Endo says:
CEO: It's really a bad joke.

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Pushes the CO away:: MO: Please, tell me what's going on!

XO_Valar says:
Lt. Hicks: Pleased to meet you.

CMO_Tae says:
CEO: Calm down.  You'll be fine.

XO_Valar says:
OPS: Well, I am confident we will be able to expedite repairs.

SO_Talac_Zal says:
::Stabilizes small power spikes within the sensor array::

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Hold on.

XO_Valar says:
::Enters her office and places her duffle on the desk.  Sits down and then begins looking over the PADDS containing the updated status reports::

CEO_Sorvino says:
MO: If you don't tell me I WILL explode.

MO_Endo says:
CEO: Take a deep breath Megan and listen carefully.

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Forces herself to take a deep breath::

CNSToni says:
::Returns to the turbolift::

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Is there anything else you need?

TO_Corjet says:
::Taps on the console trying to figure out how to fix it::

XO_Valar says:
CSO: Thank you.  I will get right to work.  Please inform the Captain of my arrival and when he will be ready to meet with me.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: See if you can get someone from engineering to help us.

OPS_Kerst says:
*XO* The Brut confirms all of your containers have transported to your quarters.

MO_Endo says:
CEO: Some aliens put something in your womb and now there's a worm-like creature in there.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

XO_Valar says:
*OPS* Thank you.  ::Picks up a PADD and begins reading the reports::

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Acknowledged, I'll get back to my duties then.

MO_Endo says:
::Why, oh why did I mention the worm before?::

CSO-Temal says:
::Waits to be dismissed by the XO::

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Turns pale::

CEO_Sorvino says:
MO: Creature?

Host CO_ReginS says:
CEO: Corzi's working on a way to help you, aren't you, Corzi?

XO_Valar says:
CSO: ::Looks up and sees the CSO is still standing there::  Oh, dismissed!  ::grins::

MO_Endo says:
CEO: Yes, I am in fact, right now we have some ideas on getting it out.

MO_Endo says:

CEO_Sorvino says:
MO: Get it out of me!

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Starts shaking uncontrollably::

XO_Valar says:
::Sets the PADD on the desk then opens her duffle and extracts a picture in a frame.  Sets the picture frame on her desk and smiles::

FCO_Hicks says:
CTO: Granted, Ensign.

CNSToni says:
::Begins viewing files on XO Valar::

TO_Corjet says:
OPS: We aren't receiving the data from the Cutlass properly.

CSO-Temal says:
*CO* Sir, the XO has come aboard and is currently in her office reading over status reports as well as personnel profiles.  She wished to know when she would be able to meet you?

SO_Talac_Zal says:
CSO:  I'm running a level 4-diagnostic and there are small power spikes I've been having to manually compensate for.

CTO_Marek says:
FCO: Thanks, Sir. TO: Wait for my call from the Cutlass.

CTO_Marek says:
::Leaving Ops to transporter room::

OPS_Kerst says:
TO: Hmmm, try one of the secondary stations.  ::Points behind the TO:: I'll look at this console.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

Host CO_ReginS says:
*CSO* Gather the senior staff in my office in 10 minutes.

CSO-Temal says:
SO: Good.  Spikes are normal during the power up sequence, after a few recalibrations they will subside.

CSO-Temal says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
::Beaming onto the Cutlass::

XO_Valar says:
::Stands and walks to the portal and looks out::

::Removes face plate at the tactical station::

FCO_Hicks says:
*XO* Commander, may I have a word with you?

CSO-Temal says:
*Senior Staff* Report to the Captain's Ready Room in ten minutes.

CEO: If Corzi tries to surgically remove it, you won't be able to have any more children.

XO_Valar says:
*FCO* Of course.

SO_Talac_Zal says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.  This is a lot different then the simulators at the Academy.

OPS_Kerst says:
TO: Just want to confirm it’s the console and not a transmission problem from the Cutlass.

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Curls up on the biobed at the shock of his words.  Covers her face with her hands so no one will see her cry::

CNSToni says:
::Turns off computer files. Thinks: Oh, what now?::

XO_Valar says:
*FCO* Would you like me to come out to Ops or would you prefer to talk in my office?

FCO_Hicks says:
CSO: You have Ops, Temal.  I'm going to see the Commander.  ::Leaves for the XO's office::

FCO_Hicks says:

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Is the console working properly now?

XO_Valar says:
::Turns from the portal and looks at the FCO:: FCO: What can I do for you, Lt.?

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Turns over quickly, wipes her eyes with the back of her hand:: MO: Wait! Do you know exactly what you're doing?

OPS_Kerst says:
TO: There is some minor damage here.  It shouldn't be hard to fix.  We'll just swipe out these chips for some new ones.

CNSToni says:
::Arrives at Captain’s Ready Room::

FCO_Hicks says:
XO:  I just wanted to apologize for the CO's absence.  I here his wife is not well.

MO_Endo says:
CEO: Sadly, yes.

CSO-Temal says:
CTO: What is the status of the shield and weapons grid?

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Not yet, but we've found the problem.

Host CO_ReginS says:
MO: What happens if you just transport out most of the worm?

XO_Valar says:
FCO: Understood.  Thank you for that information.  However I believe we are to meet in the CO's Office in a few minutes.

CEO_Sorvino says:
::Turns over slowly:: MO: Just get it over with.

TO_Corjet says:
OPS: Thanks, I'll do that.

CSO-Temal says:
::Checks the time and notices he still has a some time::

FCO_Hicks says:
XO: Yes.  Do you prefer Sir or Ma'am?

XO_Valar says:
FCO: I prefer "Sir".

CTO_Marek says:
*CSO* Main phaser bank is out of line.  Photon launchers are operational, but I wouldn't advise to use them. 

OPS_Kerst says:
*<ENG>* This is OPS.  We need three new isolinear chips for the TAC station.  Send someone up here with them ASAP.  We need to keep TAC up.

XO_Valar says:
FCO: If that is all, shall we proceed to the Captain's Ready Room?
