CO_Valar says:
CTO: Anything on long-range sensors?

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters Turbolift:: Main Engineering.

CNSToni says:
OPS: Well, here you can relax.  Let’s get to know each other better, okay?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Nothing to report, Sir.  With your permission, I would like to go to engineering in order to get some more information about the Romulan cloaking device.

CSO-Temal says:
::Activates short-range sensors and long-range sensors then scans the region.  All routine::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Stares at CNS:: CNS: Why?

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Now we need to get it to fuse to my body.

CO_Valar says:
CTO: Granted.

CSO-Temal says:
CTO: The CEO sealed those files.  Only a few people have access to them.

CNSToni says:
OPS: I don't want to keep you on edge.  It just seems you have been avoiding your counseling sessions, can you tell me why?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  As soon as I finished this diagnostic, I will leave.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters Main Engineering and sees Ensign Piester::  EO:  Ensign.

CSO-Temal says:
CTO: You'll need Admiral Ferrone’s, the CEO, the CO or XO to access the files.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Cmdr. Hicks is in Main Engineering.

CNSToni says:
OPS: Everyone on board is supposed to have them sometimes.  Are you trying to hide something?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Pauses:: CNS: Let’s just say I don't have a high regard for the profession, okay?

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Can you hold it for a second? ::Hands the arm to the CMO::

EO_Piester says:
::Stands up straight:: XO: Hello, Lieutenant Commander.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:

CTO_Marek says:
CSO: Right.  I will ask their assistance once I get to engineering.  Thanks.

CMO_Tae says:
::Takes the arm ::

CSO-Temal says:
::Runs another virus check, notices how efficient the Cutlass is.  Thinks: Starfleet Command must have really fixed her up::

CNSToni says:
OPS: Okay, let's get down to it.  A lot of counselors have telepathic abilities.  I do not so I cannot read your thoughts.

XO_Hicks says:
EO: At ease, Ensign.  I just came down to see if there was anything you required.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Is really glad to hear that.::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Take TAC.  ::Walks to the Turbolift::

EO_Piester says:
XO: No, Sir, just checking over the systems and familiarizing myself.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

TO Corjet says:
::Moves to the tactical station::

CNSToni says:
OPS: But since that is not so, you tell me, what it is you are really worried about me finding out about you?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Stares at the CNS::

CNSToni says:
::Stares at Kerst::

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Why do think I'm hiding anything?

XO_Hicks says:
EO:  Very well.  Should you need anything, don't hesitate to contact me.  I know it's a little unsettling on your first duty assignment.

CO_Valar says:
TO: Keep your eyes on the long-range sensors, Corjet.

Host James says:
Action:  Time Warp: The Cutlass continues on its way.  The Cutlass is approximately 4 days away from Kootenai Station.

CTO_Marek says:
::Enters Main Engineering::

TO Corjet says:
CO: I'm on it right now, Sir.

EO_Piester says:
XO: Thank you, Sir.

CSO-Temal says:
::Still standing at science station::

CNSToni says:
OPS: I use observation to the highest point.  And when someone avoids a thing as you have done, your routine counseling after mission, there is something up.  Get my drift?

XO_Hicks says:
::Leaves Main Engineering for the Bridge::

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Can you keep a secret?

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters the Bridge and sits to the right of the CO::  CO: That was easy enough.

CTO_Marek says:
*CO*: I will need your assistance to access the files related to the Romulan Cloaking device, Sir.

CNSToni says:
OPS: Our conversations go no further unless ordered by the CO.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: No, that won't do.

TO Corjet says:
::Keeps her eyes on the screen::

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Kara, do you know what time it is?

CNSToni says:
OPS: Yes.

CO_Valar says:
Hicks: Well, now the CTO needs you in engineering to enter the security codes to access information on the cloaking device.

CMO_Tae says:
::Frowns::  MO: No.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Nobody can know…ever... understood?

CSO-Temal says:
::Detects a large asteroid  passing through this sector, scans it::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Oh nuts, I was just there.

CO_Valar says:
XO: ::Shrugs:: Sorry, I thought you might run into him while you were down there.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: The most evil time of the year....

CO_Valar says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.  I am sending the XO to assist you.

CMO_Tae says:
MO: Oh, no.

CNSToni says:
OPS: Of course.

CTO_Marek says:
*CO*: Thank you, Sir.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Yes... physical day.

CO_Valar says:
FCO: Status.

CNSToni says:
::Listening, with eyes closed::

CMO_Tae says:
::Shakes her head ::  MO: Uh uh....no way!

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: I don't trust you.  Why should I trust you?

MO_Endo says:
CMO: But we have to.

CNSToni says:
OPS: Do you trust anyone?

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: Sir, we are within 4 days of Kootenai station.  We should have a smooth flight from here.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: C'mon, I'll go first.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO*: Please take special care on long-range sensors and please check the photon torpedoes emitters.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@::On the Bridge of the Ehntahg::

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: I trust Val, my Father, and Mother, my sister and Brother too and Even Taslo.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: You know how deceiving our bodies can be.

TO Corjet says:
::Runs a level 3 diagnostic on the photon torpedo launchers::

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:

@::Initiates self-diagnostics on primary systems::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO*: Please report tactical status once you have finished the diagnostic on the photon torpedo launchers.

EO_Piester says:
::Runs the tenth check today on the engines::

CNSToni says:
OPS: Have you ever heard of me breaking any confidentialities with any one on board?

TO Corjet says:
CO: We're passing the Viirix system.  ::Looks at her screen and sees the diagnostics are done::  All weapons systems are within specified parameters.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: But you just said you would if ordered to.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CTO: Any response yet?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Everything checks out.  All systems normal…no wait, we're receiving something.

CTO_Marek says:
::Tapping on a console waiting for the XO to arrive::

CO_Valar says:
TO: And the shield systems?

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: No, Sir.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: What is it?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: It's a distress call!  ::Tires to pinpoint the location::

CNSToni says:
OPS: IF, anyone were to find out about your secret and that I knew, but why would they?

EO_Piester says:
::Turns to CTO:: CTO: Do you need any help, Sir?

TO Corjet says:
CO: Shield systems operating within specified parameters.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Let’s hear it.

CNSToni says:
OPS: Why is it such a BIG secret anyway?

CMO_Tae says:
::Finishes scanning Corzi ::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: The call is coming from the Klingon ship Ehntahg.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Actually, there is a couple.

CSO-Temal says:
::Patches through audio::  CO: Audio on.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Anyone: This is the IKS Ehntahg to any vessel in the vicinity.  We require assistance.

CO_Valar says:
FCO: Slow to full impulse.

MO_Endo says:
::Gets off the biobed:: CMO: So, how did I do?

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

CSO-Temal says:
::Patches coordinates to the FCO::

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
::Drops the cutlass out of warp::

CTO_Marek says:
EO: I would like your assistance on this report, while I wait for the XO to arrive in engineering.

CMO_Tae says:
MO: You're fine.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Shuts up::

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
::Engages full impulse::

CSO-Temal says:
::Scans the vessel:: CO: It's a small freighter.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Okay then... it's your turn.

CNSToni says:
OPS, Well, if it takes too long to discuss, we can come back here again and again.  Now, do you want that?

EO_Piester says:
CTO: Right away, Sir. ::Goes to a console and begins working::

CMO_Tae says:
::Pouts:: MO: But I feel fine!

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: NO!

CNSToni says:
::Lifting eyebrow::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: I've patched coordinates to the FCO.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters Main Engineering again::  CTO: Lt. Marek, how are you?

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Location?

CNSToni says:
::Waiting::

MO_Endo says:
CMO: The sooner you get on that biobed, the sooner we'll be done.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Gets up and begins pacing::

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
::Enters the ship’s coordinates into the con::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Completes self-diagnostics and tries to pinpoint the distress calls receiver::

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Sits down in engineering and sips what appears to be blood wine, quietly thinking to himself, wondering about what is happening on the Bridge::

CO_Valar says:
FCO: Set a course to the Klingon vessel, full impulse.

MO_Endo says:
::Crosses his arms and taps his foot impatiently::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Fine, Sir. I need you to grant access to the files related to the cloaking device.  I need to study them in order to get some information that could be useful for the tactical systems, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: You see, one will get me in trouble and the other.....

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Sorry, Kara.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO:  Aye, Sir, course laid-in.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: It has to be done.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO*: Report status as soon as you can.

CO_Valar says:
*XO* Hicks, you better get up here.  We are picking up a distress call from a Klingon vessel.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Why am I telling you any of this!  Counselors can't help!  Nobody can!

CMO_Tae says:
::Sighs::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Anyone: I repeat, this is Capt. Kratch of the IKS Ehntahg.  Can you hear us?

CNSToni says:
OPS: Is it that detrimental?

XO_Hicks says:
CTO/EO: Okay, but I need you to turn your back. ::Smiles::  CTO/EO:  We better get to the Bridge, this will have to wait.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Open a channel.

CTO_Marek says:
*CO* I better come to the Bridge, Sir.

CSO-Temal says:
::Opens channel:: CO: Channel open, Sir!

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* On our way.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Whispers:: CNS: Yes.

XO_Hicks says:
::Heads for the Bridge::

TO Corjet says:
*CTO*: Sorry, I assumed you meant to the CO.  I did, but to report the weapons systems are doing fine, along with the shields.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Please Kara, I'm not enjoying this either.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: If I may Sir, we are entering a pre-warp civilization area.

CTO_Marek says:
::Walks after XO::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* IKS Ehntahg: This is Commander Valar Mitchell of the Federation starship USS Cutlass.  We read you.  How can we assist you?

CNSToni says:
OPS: Let's start with the other, then.

CMO_Tae says:
::Gives up, goes and sits on the biobed ::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO*: That could wait TO. Good work. I'm on my way to the Bridge now.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: NO! Not That!

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: We’re getting response, Sir.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters the Bridge::

MO_Endo says:
::Begins scanning the CMO::

CO_Valar says:
::Stands from her chair::

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@*K-CTO* How are things going? Is anyone answering our distress calls? ::Mumbles as he sips his blood wine, spitting it out for a moment::

CSO-Temal says:
::Sensors buzz as another ship appears on scanners::  CO: I'm also getting a small Andorian freighter drifting near the Klingons, there may have been a battle, but only speculation.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COMM: Cutlass: Thank Kahless you've replied.  We have run into a problem here with an Andorian vessel.

CTO_Marek says:
::Going to the TAC station::

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@Self: P'tah!  Just what we need some federations to rescue us.  What a dishonor!

CNSToni says:
OPS: At the beginning.

TO Corjet says:
*CTO*: Okay.

MO_Endo says:
::A smile slowly spreads across his face after a few seconds of scanning::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: Quiet!  We're allies!

EO_Piester says:
::Returns to system checks::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: Specify problem.

CMO_Tae says:
::Frowns:: MO: What?

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Beginning of what?

MO_Endo says:
CMO: I'm enjoying this now and I think you will be too Kara.

CO_Valar says:
::Looks at Hicks::

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CSO: Scan the M class planet in the system.  See if they have a sensor grid orbiting the planet that might detect us.

CTO_Marek says:
::Watch the screens:: TO: What do we have here?

CSO-Temal says:
TO: What kind of defensive capabilities do the two ships have?

CMO_Tae says:
::Rolls her eyes::

CNSToni says:
OPS: The beginning of what you need to speak about.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: We investigated a distress call from the Andorians and we went to investigate.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Looks at the CO:: CO: Aye, Sir.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Kara, you're pregnant.  ::Smiles from ear to ear:: Congrats!

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: I don't need to speak about anything!

TO Corjet says:
CTO: A distress call from a Klingon vessel.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: We found the entire crew was dead.  In addition, we lost four of our eight crewmembers.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CSO: I hate to think of what those Klingons are up to in this sector.

CMO_Tae says:
::Blinks:: MO: I...I am?

CNSToni says:
OPS: You are avoiding again.

CSO-Temal says:
FCO: The civilization living there is pre-warp.  By properly calibrating our warp drive we can avoid all detection.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: You are.  ::Continues smiling::  I'm very happy for you.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: So what, what do you care?

CO_Valar says:
*COM: Klingon vessel: Do you know the cause of death?

CNSToni says:
::Blinking swiftly::

CMO_Tae says:
::Not quite sure what to say ::

CNSToni says:
OPS: Hostility again?

CTO_Marek says:
::Running a scan over the Klingon vessel::

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Anything wrong with that?

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: Unknown.  That's what troubles me.  They died a dishonorable death.

CO_Valar says:
FCO: ETA, Klingon vessel?

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: 10 minutes, Sir.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Agrees with the Captain...that was no way to die::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: We have set a course and are proceeding to your location. ETA, 10 minutes.  Cutlass, out.

CSO-Temal says:
*EO*: I'm patching down a calibration for the warp core.  We need it calibrated correctly so we are not detected by the pre-warp civilization we will be coming close to.

CNSToni says:
OPS: Yes, you cannot function as an officer when you let your emotions go from fear to hostility in the face of an important decision.

CO_Valar says:
TO: Do you have the Klingon vessel on your sensors?

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: We'll be here, hopefully.  Hurry!

MO_Endo says:
CMO: You've been pregnant for about a week now.

EO_Piester says:
*CSO* Aye, Sir.

CMO_Tae says:
MO: A week?!

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Can you scan the Klingon vessel?

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Yes, a week.

CSO-Temal says:
::Patches down calibration specs to the EO::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Pauses, breathes deeply. Self: Focus, focus::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Scans the Andorian freighter again::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Nothing to worry about, Sir.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: Any ideas what happened over there?

CSO-Temal says:
CTO: Do the Klingons pose a threat to us?

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: You trust the federations?

TO Corjet says:
CO: Yes, they have very low resources as far as trying to fight a ship goes.

CO_Valar says:
Hicks: Call all senior officers to the Bridge.

EO_Piester says:
::Receives the patch and starts to calibrate the engines::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Doing so now, Sir.

CMO_Tae says:
::Mumbles something to herself::

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: You are correct.  I'm sorry.  It's just......let me try to explain. I know things I'm not suppose too.

CTO_Marek says:
CSO: Negative.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: I'm scanning, Sir, hold on.  ::Keeps scanning::

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Run tachyon scans.  This could be a trap.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: Do you want me to bring us in from behind the Klingon vessel?

CNSToni says:
OPS: Do these things distress you fearfully?

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CTO: I trust them.  I'm probably one of the few in the Empire that does.  They fought honorably by our side many times.

CO_Valar says:
FCO: As soon as we get within visual range, slow to 1/4 impulse.

XO_Hicks says:
*Ship-wide COM* All senior staff to the Bridge immediately!

MO_Endo says:
CMO: Do you want to know the sex of the baby?

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Been doing so the entire time and the freighter can be fully scanned.  No dampening fields, it appears to be genuine.

EO_Piester says:
*CSO* Engines are calibrated, Sir.

CMO_Tae says:
MO: I....I guess.

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: Let me try to explain.  My father, he used to be this quiet introverted guy, a Lieutenant in Starfleet.

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: Aye, Sir, you have my loyalty but they don’t.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Any sign of cloaked vessels in the vicinity?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: I recommend caution, Sir, even if they aren't a threat to the Cutlass.

CMO_Tae says:
::Gets up off the biobed::

CNSToni says:
OPS: I'm listening.

MO_Endo says:
CMO: You're going to give birth to a brand new baby girl!  ::Still smiling::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CTO: As long as they are with us, you'll have their loyalty too.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO:  We are now within visual range.  ::Slows to 1/4 impulse::

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS: He was assigned as an engineer on the Epyion, there was an accident.

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.

CMO_Tae says:
::Smiles and heads for the Sickbay doors::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: No tachyon fields or sub-space distortions, but I'll keep scanning just in case, I would recommend yellow alert as a precaution though.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Hail the vessel.

CO_Valar says:
CTO: Yellow alert.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CTO: Status on the Cutlass?

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Mumbles, and goes back to work::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sets yellow alert condition::

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@::Scans for the Cutlass::

MO_Endo says:
CMO: I didn't really finish so if you have some deadly disease I won't know.  ::Grins:: Oh well.

CSO-Temal says:
::Opens hailing frequencies:: CO: Hailing frequencies open!

CO_Valar says:
FCO: On screen.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Sir, all neural activity has been sucked out of the Andorians, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
*SEC*: Assume yellow alert stations.

CSO-Temal says:
::Detects shields go up::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: Sucked out?

CMO_Tae says:
MO: I honestly don't really care if it's done.  In my mind, you're done.  ::Grins::

CMO_Tae says:
::Heads for the Turbolift::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon Vessel: We have arrived.  How can we assist you?

CTO_Marek says:
::Scans the areas permanently::

MO_Endo says:
::Thinks: What a day::

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: Sir. They’re here.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Pauses::

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Sensors are detecting some primitive radio-type satellites around the planet.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: You can help us with our investigation of the Andorians and see if whatever affected them affected my crew.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Just drained, Sir.  The body seems to be intact only their brains lack neural activity.  It must have something to do with that subspace anomaly we detected earlier.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Looks up:: CNS: Wasn't that the XO calling me to the Bridge?

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Please check that.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

MO_Endo says:
::Heads to the Bridge::

CSO-Temal says:
::Sends out a verderon pulse to block/jam the satellites orbiting the planet so they can't detect the Cutlass::

TO Corjet says:
::Scans the satellites::

CNSToni says:
OPS: Yes, we'll continue later.  Report back after duties tomorrow.

CMO_Tae says:
::Steps off the Turbolift onto the Bridge::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: Acknowledged.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: I would suggest raising our shields.

CNSToni says:
::Leaving quarters heading for Bridge::

OPS_Kerst says:
CNS:: Sorry, duty calls.  ::Leaves for Bridge::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: Any indications on how they were killed?

MO_Endo says:
::Heads into the Turbolift:: Bridge.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Enter Turbolift:: Deck 1.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Scan the Andorian vessel.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Try not to interfere their normal functions.

CO_Valar says:
Hicks: What do you make of this?

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Finishes his work and decides to head to the Bridge::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: Did something cause that?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: I would advise against beaming aboard the Andorian ship, the Klingon ship, or letting any of them beam aboard our ship, if it was a disease it could be contagious.

CO_Valar says:
CMO: Doctor, we have a situation here that may require your assistance.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

MO_Endo says:
::Steps off the Turbolift and on to the Bridge::

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: Sir the Cutlass is hailing us.

CNSToni says:
::Enters Bridge, takes place standing next to the XO::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: I think the subspace anomaly somehow drained them like a light does from a battery.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: I am aware of that.

CSO-Temal says:
::Scans Andorian vessel, looks for diseases as well::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CTO: Again?

CMO_Tae says:
:: Nods to Valar ::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: I'm not sure.  CTO: Shields up.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Enters Bridge:: XO: Sorry, I was with the CNS.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Heads to OPS station::

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: How can that be?

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Stops:: *K-CTO* I found something, could you come down to engineering? ::Worriedly peers at a panel::

CNSToni says:
::Listening to transmissions::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Aye, Sir, shields raised.

MO_Endo says:
::Hears the CO just as he arrives and thinks: Oh yippee, I get to be in charge of sickbay again::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CTO: On screen.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Would it be safe to send an Away Team in enviro suits?

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: I'm trying to determine that.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: They don't have very advanced technology.  It's similar to what we had at the beginning of the 21'st century.

XO_Hicks says:
OPS: Please be more alert, Lieutenant.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: Sir. we are within 3000 meters of the Klingon Vessel.

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@*CEO* Aye.

CTO_Marek says:
::Continues tactical scans on the planet and the vessels::

TO Corjet says:
CTO: There are a bunch of satellites orbiting the planet and such.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Analyzes the sensor logs from the subspace anomaly they detected earlier::

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Begins to press buttons on a nearby console::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass CO: You have any information?

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: Yes Sir, sorry, Sir.

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@::Heads toward engineering::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Right, understood.  Please keep an eye on the planet.

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon Vessel: We are trying to determine if it is safe to transport a medical team to the Andorian vessel.  Please stand-by.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Errr, check that.  It's like the technology Earth had in the 21'st century.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Accesses certain systems and switches to subroutines for flight control::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: It should be safe as long as no one is exposed to the actual conditions and we keep them in the transporter for a few extra moments to make sure they don't bring back any viruses or such.

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@::Arrives in engineering::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: Our science officer thinks the Andorians may have been drained by a subspace disturbance they entered.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: How about transporting one of the Andorians to sickbay in a bio-containment field?

K_CTO_Ruk`la says:
@CEO: What’s up?

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Turns to the CTO:: Nothing.  I just found a 5th dead crewmember.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Excellent idea, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: We can use a shuttle as a kind of clean room before beaming them back.

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon Vessel: How would that explain the loss of your four crewman?

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: Probably by the same phenomenon.  They were on the vessel earlier.

CO_Valar says:
OPS: I want to keep the crew together.  Using a shuttle would mean the Doctor would have to be on the shuttle alone.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: I'd suggest more like a shuttle in case something gets out, but if you insist on beaming one here, I would suggest using full shield back-up for the containment field.

TO Corjet says:
::Watches the planet with interest to see what type of things she might see.  Was rather good at historic technology::

Host James says:
Action: The Ehntahg has begun to change course.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@::Feels a course change::

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Looks as the CTO slumps on the ground, sighs::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The Ehntahg is changing course.

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: Why are you changing course?

CO_Valar says:
CTO: Red Alert!

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Yes, but we can keep the shuttle in our hanger.  It will be sealed from the rest of the ship in case there is something there.

CSO-Temal says:
::Detects course change:: CO: The Ehtahg is leaving, they should be under quarantine.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: Stand-by.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@Anyone: Why have we changed course?

CTO_Marek says:
::Setting mode to red alert::

CO_Valar says:
FCO: Set a pursuit course.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Taps a few more controls into the access panel and sits down::

CMO_Tae says:
::Thinks now would be a good time to go back to Sickbay::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: No, Sir. I'm tracking it.  Stand-by.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Diverts more power to weapons and shields::

EO_Piester says:
::Jumps at red alert klaxon.  Runs to console to make sure that all systems are running at top performance::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: You must not leave this area.  You are contaminated.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Takes a sip of something close to blood wine::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CEO: Can you bring us to a full stop?

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Following the Ehntahg::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: Halt or I will fire!

CSO-Temal says:
::Sends a message to Kootenai informing them of the delay::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: We're trying to stop.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@*K-CO* Are we moving, Sir?

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Scan for the Klingon vessel's weapon status!

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Sir, the course was altered from Main Engineering!

K_CO_Kratch says:
@*K_CEO* Yes, you idiot!

CO_Valar says:
CTO: Target their engines and fire Phasers!

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@*K-CO* Then I'll get right on it.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Moves over to a console and taps a few more buttons::

Host James says:
Action: The Ehntahg's new course is straight for the planet.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
::Matching course and speed::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir, I think I should call the EO to the Bridge and have him transfer engineering controls here.

TO Corjet says:
::Scans the Klingon vessel::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Firing phasers!

K_CO_Kratch says:
@*K_CEO* The course change came from down there.  Stop it or you'll join the Andorians.

CSO-Temal says:
::Scans engines::

CNSToni says:
::Shifting from one foot to the other, walks over to seat and sits::

CO_Valar says:
Hicks: Do it.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Direct hit.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: Sir, we are headed straight for the planet.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Preparing tractor beam.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@*K-CO* Stop what?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: The ship is heading for the planet.  They could infect billions!

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Shall I flood Main Engineering with anesthezine gas Captain?

K_CO_Kratch says:
@*K_CEO* Stop the ship, you idiot!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Klingon vessel is losing 85% of main power.

CO_Valar says:
CTO: Fire!

XO_Hicks says:
*EO* Ensign Piester to the Bridge.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Shall I engage a tractor beam?

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: Try to cut power to the engines first.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Sighs and shuts down the comm.  Thinks: The CO is quite the pest::

CTO_Marek says:
::Fires phasers::

CO_Valar says:
OPS: Tractor beam!

CO_Valar says:
CTO: Cease-fire!

TO Corjet says:
::Trying to get the scan results::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Aye.  ::Accesses OPS and cuts power to engines::

EO_Piester says:
*XO* Aye, Sir, on my way.  ::Heads towards the Turbolift and enters:: Bridge.

Host James says:
Action:  The Ehntahg's engines are disabled.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Activates tractor beam::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Tractor beam engaged.

CO_Valar says:
OPS: Hold them in the tractor beam.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Right, Sir. The Klingon vessels engines are now disabled.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Looks as the engines are disabled::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Engines disabled, Sir.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
::Disengages the impulse engines::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CO_Valar says:
FCO: Change course back to the Andorian vessel.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: I don't think that was necessary.  We were trying to stop ourselves.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: I could activate a dampening field around the ship, so they won't have the power to get away if they try to leave again.

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Maybe we should back away from the planet some?

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Their engines are down, along with shields and weapons.

CO_Valar says:
FCO: Slowly, we are tractoring a vessel.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Changing course::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Klingon shields are down as is their disruptor.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Do it.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Thanks, Tasha.

EO_Piester says:
::Exits the Turbolift onto the Bridge and walks towards the engineering console::
XO: Reporting, Sir.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: Not a problem.

CO_Valar says:
CSO: What is the safest course of action for examining the Andorian?

CSO-Temal says:
::Uses sensors and the main deflector dish to put up a dampening field around the Klingon vessel, mainly targeted at their engines::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Tries to get helm control back to the Bridge::

CO_Valar says:
CMO: Doctor?  What would you prefer to do?

XO_Hicks says:
EO: I think it would be best to have you up here.  Transfer engineering control to the Bridge.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO: We have arrived back at the Andorian vessel, Sir.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: Forget it.  The Cutlass has disabled our engines and tractoring us.

CO_Valar says:
FCO: All stop.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: The safest?  I would say beaming a small probe over there to scan the interior of the vessel and give us pictures as well.

CMO_Tae says:
::Thinks::

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
CO:  Aye, Sir, all stop.  ::Disengages impulse engines::

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Just as a precaution, Sir.

EO_Piester says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Turns to console and transfers engineering control to the Bridge::

CO_Valar says:
::Listens to the CSO and nods::  Doctor?

CO_Valar says:
Hicks: I like the probe idea.  What do you think?

CTO_Marek says:
::Checking Klingon vessel hull integrity status::

XO_Hicks says:
CO:  I concur.  We must make sure the probe scans even the smallest particle.

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Rests his hands on the engines transferring some energy into them::

CNSToni says:
::Shakes head agreeing with the probe idea::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Shall I prepare one?

CMO_Tae says:
CO: I think we should send a probe.

FCO_Talac_Zal says:
::Checking impulse engines::

CO_Valar says:
XO: Very well.  Probe it is.  CSO: Prepare the probe, launch when ready.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Sees engine power increasing::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Acknowledged, give me a few minutes to properly configure it.

CO_Valar says:
CMO: Doctor, we have decided to send in a probe to gather the information for your analysis.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@C_CSO: What the?

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@CO: Sir, the engines are getting power again.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@*K_CEO* What's going on down there?

CMO_Tae says:
::Nods::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: We are sending in a probe to gather the information.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I recommend we beam the probe into the Andorian ship, we can gather more data that way.

CO_Valar says:
OPS: We are in the process of doing that as we speak.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: Better hurry because I think my engineer is doing something strange.

CSO-Temal says:
::Chooses a class V probe and diverts the most power to sensors and just enough to engines to keep it afloat.  Locks onto it with transporter::  CO: Done, where do you want it beamed?

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::Again accesses OPS and terminates all power to engines::

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Your discretion.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO/CO; The Bridge?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Notices signal::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: Are you saying you cannot control your crew?

XO_Hicks says:
CO: I suggest the Bridge, it can then work it's way outward.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Aye, Sir, the Bridge then.  We can even use transporters to beam it to other locations if needed.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: Just my engineer.

CO_Valar says:
XO: ::Nods::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I'm picking up a low frequency signal from the planet. Audio only.

CSO-Temal says:
::Beams the probe over to the Andorian Bridge::

CO_Valar says:
*COM* Klingon vessel: I suggest you deal with him.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: We're picking up a low frequency audio transmission.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@COM: Cutlass: Suggestion noted.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CSO: You have the Bridge.

TO Corjet says:
CTO: It's coming from the planet.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Probe has been transported.  Commencing scans now.  I will patch the visual through the view screen.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@::exits Bridge to engineering::

CO_Valar says:
CSO: Acknowledged.  Watches the view screen.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I think those on the planet know we are here.

K_CSO_T`Trih says:
@::looks at the CO::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Right. CO: Sir, Ensign Corjet has found a low frequency audio emission from the planet. Should we listen to it?

CO_Valar says:
OPS: Scan the planet.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@::Enters engineering:: K_CEO: What in Kahless' name is going on down here?

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Merely glances at the CO::

CO_Valar says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CNSToni says:
::Looking at view screen::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir, and the signal from the planet?

XO_Hicks says:
CSO:  When it's finished it's scans, beam that probe out to space and destroy it.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Begins scan of planet::

K_CO_Kratch says:
@::Grabs his disruptor::

EO_Piester says:
::Looks at console and engines are at the right frequency::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Let us hear the transmission.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@K_CEO: Answer me!

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Aye, Sir, I'll initiate self-destruct.

TO Corjet says:
::Plays the transmission for CTO and CO::

K_CEO_K`Rud says:
@::Looks at the CO while resting his hand on the warp core::

CSO-Temal says:
::Scans on different frequencies, routine ones as well as inferred, etc::

Host James says:
Audio Message:  (high pitched, very quiet).  We are a single orb spinning round a single sun.  We have seen you from afar and wish to greet you in the interests of peace.

K_CO_Kratch says:
@::Points his disruptor at the CEO::

OPS_Kerst says:
