Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
COM: Valar:  First I'm issuing orders for the promotion of one of your officers to Chief Engineer.  Mr. Tiraz will now hold that position.

ACEO_Tiraz says:
*Damage Control Team 08* Get to deck 36.  We have a rupture down there.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: I know that. ::Doesn't see anything-suspicious about 6 female officers working::

XO_Valar says:
COM: Admiral: Mitchell, out.

ACEO_Tiraz says:
*CMO* We have some injuries on deck 36.  Two that I know of.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS/TO: Right. That's why I'm choosing two highly trustable female officers to make a counter-spying action.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Some of your tactical officers who are working on repair duty have been assigned to the same groups as the Romulans.  They should be able to keep an eye on them.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO/OPS: You’re probably right, but how would we find out which ones?  They would have to be fools to try anything more than to memorize our systems.

ACEO_Tiraz says:
<DCT08> ::Arrives on deck 36, and starts to check the situation::

XO_Valar says:
::Walks out of the Ready Room:: OPS: Kerst, please have the senior staff report to the Ready Room in 7 minutes.

self: that should be easy... I'm already here...

::Walks back into the Ready Room and prepares for the briefing by the Admiral::

CMO_Tae says:
::Thinks: That five minutes isn't much time. Walks faster::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Right. But we need more than a regular surveillance.  I'm proposing TO Rodriguez and EO Mandarian to be assigned to that specific job.

CNSToni says:
*OPS* On my way.

ACEO_Tiraz says:
*OPS* I have a slight situation down here on deck 36.  A power transfer conduit has ruptured.  I’ve sent Damage Control Team 08 to effect repairs, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: What do you think about that?

MO_Endo says:
::Slowly gets up:: Self: Finally, a break.

CNSToni says:
::Turns down the next corridor and enters turbolift::

ACEO_Tiraz says:
::Runs a level 2 diagnostic on the power distribution network:: Self: I hope that we don’t have any more problems.

::Walks over to OPS:: OPS: What’s going on?

CNSToni says:
Computer: Ops.

CMO_Tae says:

CTO_Marek says:
::Taking a glimpse into the repairs reports::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Corjet?

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: I think that would be fine, Sir, but I was hoping that you'd choose me.  I know I haven't been here long, but I think I could do the job.  Unless you need me for something else?

OPS_Kerst says:
SO: Some coded message came in for the XO and now she wants everyone in the Ready Room in 3 minutes.

CNSToni says:
::Meets with MO Endo in turbolift::

FCO_Hicks says:
::In the Captain's Ready Room::

ACEO_Tiraz says:
*OPS* The Power Distribution Network is barely holding on.  ::Sighs::

SO_Talac_Zal says:
OPS: Well, let’s not make her angry.  ::Smiles and heads for the Ready Room::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: I need your skills here, Corjet.  You're a very valuable officer for that kind of assignment.

XO_Valar says:
Hicks: Admiral Ferrone wants to brief us on new orders.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

ACEO_Tiraz says:
<DCT08> ::Starts repairs to the power transfer conduits::

MO_Endo says:
::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: Hello, Counselor.

CNSToni says:
Corzi: How are you feeling?

FCO_Hicks says:
XO: Yes, Sir. 

OPS_Kerst says:
*ACEO* Shut it down on those decks for now.  Nobody there but repair crew anyway.  You have 1 minute to get up here though.

ACEO_Tiraz says:
::Wonders if he should head to the Ready Room.  Thinking that he'll be needed down here in Main Engineering::

MO_Endo says:
CNS: In a word, exhausted.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Let's discuss this after the staff meeting.  Now, please, what about the runabout reports?

SO_Talac_Zal says:
::Enters Ready Room and takes a seat::

CMO_Tae says:
::Treats their wounds and instructs them to go to Sickbay::

XO_Valar says:
::Stands to the side of the view screen::

TO_Corjet says:
::Enters the Ready Room::

ACEO_Tiraz says:
::Sighs:: *OPS* On my way.  ::Quickly shuts down those decks and heads to the Ready Room::

CNSToni says:
Corzi, when this next briefing is over, how would you like to spend a little time together, you know to get to know each other better?

MO_Endo says:

XO: There’s been an accident on level 36.  The ACEO might be detained.

CMO_Tae says:
::Realizes she doesn't have time to drop off her kit and just heads to Ops::

TO_Corjet says:
::Smiles:: ACEO: Hello.  It's nice to finally see you.  Last I saw you was only for a minute.

MO_Endo says:
::Steps out of the turbolift into Ops::

::Nods::

XO_Valar says:
::Nods::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Stares at screen::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:

CNSToni says:
::Looking at the MO::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
COM: ALL:  The Romulans sent along with the 40 engineers for Kootenai aid, 10 field agents.

CEO_Tiraz says:
::Feels something very bad has happened.  Thinks about the Romulan engineer under his command::

FCO_Hicks says:
::Thinks: "Trouble in Paradise."::

OPS_Kerst says:
::This seems familiar::

CTO_Marek says:
::My hunch was right after all::

XO_Valar says:
COM: Admiral: Are these 10 agents undercover?

MO_Endo says:
::If anything bad can happen, it will. Frowns::

CNSToni says:
::Looks at XO then at FCO Hicks::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
COM: ALL:  You are all to board the Cutlass where Commander Setek and his group will brief you on the topic of the mission.  They are waiting for you now.

XO_Valar says:
COM: Admiral: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Tiraz says:
::Looks to Hicks, thinking he was right to have the Romulan Engineers under close watch::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
COM: Valar:  The Romulan manifest shows that there were 40 engineers.  There were really 50 personnel all together.

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods and gets ready to go when the "word" is given::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
COM: ALL:  You are to speak to no one about this communiqué.

XO_Valar says:
COM: Admiral: Acknowledged, Sir.  ::Looks at the CTO and Hicks::

XO:  Shall we, Commander?

CEO_Tiraz says:
::Nods and is getting pretty nervous::

XO_Valar says:
ALL: Attention!

OPS_Kerst says:

CNSToni says:
::Stands moving back the chair::

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks at Valar::

CEO_Tiraz says:
::Stands at attention:: XO: Sir.

SO_Talac_Zal says:

FCO_Hicks says:
::Attention::

XO_Valar says:

SO_Talac_Zal says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Aye, Sir. 

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods::

XO_Valar says:
::Erases data from her PADD::

CEO_Tiraz says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Shows his engineering PADD:: Sir, I only have data here.  It’s not recording, Sir.

SO_Talac_Zal says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CNSToni says:
XO: Understood, Sir, erasing notes now.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks: They must be Tal Shiar.  What is their plan?::

XO_Valar says:
Hicks: Prepare a transport.  Have all senior officers report to the transport in 10 minutes.  Set course for the USS Cutlass.

CNSToni says:
::Thinks: Again with the hidden agenda::

CTO_Marek says:
ALL: About this situation, I think we have to make a counter move right after hearing Cmdr. Setek’s briefing.

FCO_Hicks says:
XO: Consider it done.

FCO_Hicks says:
ALL: Report to Shuttle Bay 1.

XO_Valar says:
ALL: All right, you heard the Admiral.

CEO_Tiraz says:
FCO: Aye, Sir. ::Looks to Tasha::

TO_Corjet says:
ALL: I agree.  If we don't they'll make their move and we wont be ready for it.

XO_Valar says:
ALL: Dismissed!

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Sir, do you think this is a setup, like last time?

CNSToni says:
XO: Are you aware that this crew has been through this kind of mission before?

SO_Talac_Zal says:
::Heads to the turbolift::

XO_Valar says:
CNS: No, due to time constraints, I was not able to review the entire records.

CMO_Tae says:
::Picks up her medical kit off the floor::

XO_Valar says:
Hicks: You will lead me to Shuttle bay 1.  Ready?

CTO_Marek says:
::Exits the Ready Room to the turbolift::

CEO_Tiraz says:
::Hugs Tasha:: Tasha: This could be a dangerous situation.   Please take care of yourself.

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks at Randy:: CEO: Let's go.

FCO_Hicks says:
OPS:  At this point, I don't know what to expect.

FCO_Hicks says:
XO: Ready.

XO_Valar says:
OPS: Are the shuttle bays operational?

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: Shuttle bays are down.  We will have to beam over.

TO_Corjet says:
Randy: Promise that you will to?

MO_Endo says:
::Raids the medical stores in Ops:: XO: I assume we won't need these while we're gone?

CTO_Marek says:
FCO: A massive incursion, is that what you are suggesting, Sir?

XO_Valar says:
Hicks: Belay that last order.  Have everyone report to transporter room 1.  We will have to transport to the runabout.  MO: It couldn’t hurt.

CEO_Tiraz says:
::Gently squeezes Tasha reassuring her that he will:: Tasha: I will.

FCO_Hicks says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

XO_Valar says:
::Exits the Ready Room and enters the turbolift:: Deck 4.

TO_Corjet says:
Randy: Good.  I will too.  ::Heads to where she has to go::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Follows the XO::

MO_Endo says:
