Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

After a two-hour break the senior staff finished up the question and answer period of the mission briefing and have returned to their stations to scan all incoming and outgoing vessels for signs of the stolen Argollian crystals.

CTO Danforth and Cadet Ferrone are interviewing vendors on the Promenade in the hopes of gaining any information on unusual or suspicious behavior among the customers who may have been passing the crystals to their contact.

New orders have come through for Cadet Ferrone.  He is to report to the Federation transport vessel USS Spacewalker for transport to his next field assignment.  The USS Spacewalker will be docking at Kootenai Station at 0600 hours tomorrow morning.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Thomson says:
::At Flight Control, scanning a Federation freighter::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks up from a report as his console begins to beep in his Ready Room::

CSO_Taliza says:
::At flight control 2, scanning the area for ships scheduled to arrive on long-range and short-range sensors::

XO_Kerst says:
::Sitting in the big chair anxiously waiting for news, any news about the crystals::

CNS_Alana says:
::On her way to the Captain's Ready Room::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Glances around Sickbay again and puts his PADD back in his bag.. Finally finished prepping Sickbay::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Accesses his computer and reads the priority Starfleet message.  It is ordering Cadet Ferrone to transfer to the USS Spacewalker::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: How's it going on your end?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Sighs, as the scan comes up negative::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs, was hoping that the Cadet could gain some valuable experience during this mission::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Anything yet?

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: Nothing yet, Sir.  Are you having any luck?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Enters Ops and walks to the Ready Room.  Hits the door chime then turns to the XO::  XO: P'Dar, you'll probably want to hear this too.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey>  ::Lumbers out of the turbolift and makes his way to the tactical station::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Nope.  XO: Negative so far, Sir.  Ensign Thomson is checking all the docked ships while I'm scanning any incoming vessel scheduled to arrive.

XO_Kerst says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Good news or..., no wait, that always proceeds bad news. ::Moves towards the Ready Room::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears a chime sound::  Door: Enter.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Enters the room and looks back to see if the XO is coming::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Please report to the Captain's Ready Room immediately.

CNS_Alana says:
::Reaches Ops and sees CTO going into the Ready Room before she gets there.  She decides to wait patiently::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees Bailey lumber to tactical:: FCO: You meet tactical officer Bailey?

XO_Kerst says:
::Hears him paged to Ready Room as he's standing at the door::

CNS_Alana says:
::Hears the COM and looks over at XO::  XO: For a moment I thought that meeting was private, but I guess we are invited.  ::Smiling::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Hears a lumbering noise and turns, watching someone approach tactical, then hears the CSO:: CSO: No, Sir, I haven't.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: That over-grown teddy bear is Bailey.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Sits down in a chair and waits for the other officers::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Stands up and sighs, walking into his office.. He hadn't really moved into it yet for reasons that he wasn't willing to share::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Looks over to Flight Control and sees a new face.  Decides to introduce himself to the young Ensign and walks over:: FCO: Hello, I am LtJG. Bailey, tactical officer.  Welcome to Kootenai Station, Ensign...uhhh...Ensign???

XO_Kerst says:
::Enters Ready Room:: CO: Already on my way, but I think for something else.  ::Smiles warmly at CNS then turns his attention towards CTO::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks into Ready Room and takes a seat::

CSO_Taliza says:
Bailey: Her name is Thomson.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks back and forth between Bailey and Taliza:: Bailey: Thomson, Sir,

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks up again as everyone enters::  All: Please, have a seat.  ::Looks to the CTO::  CTO: Yes, Commander, you had something?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Realizes the CSO had just said that and blushes::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Holds out his paw to the Ensign:: FCO: Nice to meet you, Ensign Thomson.

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  Cadet Ferrone and I were able to get some information from the bartender in the Galaxy Club that I think will prove both heartening and disappointing.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Stares at the paw for a long pause, then extends her hand:: Bailey: Nice to meet you, too, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Go ahead, Commander.

CTO_Danforth says:
All:  Apparently, the bartender saw the couriers for the crystals enter the bar not more than a couple of hours ago.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Shakes the Ensign's hand::  Well, I better get to my station.  ::Turns and lumbers back over to tactical::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: He seems friendly enough. ::Grins::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: ::Whisper:: If you ever need to cuddle with something at night, there's your man.  But be careful, he can get a little mean if he hasn't hibernated for a while.

CNS_Alana says:
::Attention on CTO, listening intently::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: I wouldn't recommend cuddling with him, though.

CTO_Danforth says:
All: It is highly likely they have already left.  The drop took place at that time and my security teams have not been able to locate either perpetrator.  I believe they have left the station and are headed to their base on Kimpac.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Stares at the CSO, wondering if he's joking:: CSO: Does he really hibernate? ::Eyes widen as she looks at Bailey again::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Setting up his duty station oblivious to what is being said in Ops::

CTO_Danforth says:
All: My recommendation is to pursue them to the planet and retrieve the crystals.

CNS_Alana says:
CTO: I thought there were not supposed to be any ships allowed to leave the station once they docked, until further notice?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Do you know which ship they left on?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Glances around the office and checks the drawers, all empty... Nothing left.. Oh well, what was he trying to find anyways? Stands back up and walks out into Sickbay, overseeing the large room::

XO_Kerst says:
CTO: Can we catch u to them before they reach Kimpac?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Begins a scan on a Vulcan science vessel::

CTO_Danforth says:
CNS: Apparently, this happened before we put the quarantine into effect.  If I have my timing down correctly, the drop occurred right when we were in the middle of our briefing with the Admiral.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: He's an “Ursus Arctos.”

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: No, Sir.  Even at full warp, they would have too much of a lead on us.

CNS_Alana says:
::Wondering what happened::

CTO_Danforth says:
All: However, I think we can accomplish this mission.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Nods:: CSO: I see I'll have to do some exobiology homework.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods and sighs::  All: It seems like we will be forced to pursue them.

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: I'm afraid so, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: I don't think you need too much exobiology.  “Ursus Arctos” is a Terran grizzly bear.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Taps a panel on his desktop::  *Station Wide*: All Senior staff officers are ordered to report to the USS Erie immediately and prepare for immediate departure.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Narrows eyes at the CSO:: CSO: I see.  ::Stops as the CO is heard over the intercom::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Taps his COM badge and voluntarily speaks for the first time in a while:: *CO*: Sir, how much resistance are we expecting again?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks to the CNS and XO::  XO/CNS: You two stay please.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey>  ::Looks up as the COM comes over the speakers.  Grabs his tactical bag and heads for the Erie.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Nods:: CO: Thank you, Sir.  I'll start getting the ship ready.  ::Waits to be excused::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Looks like you'll get your first chance piloting the Erie.  C'mon.  ::Heads to turbolift::

XO_Kerst says:
::Looks from CO to the CNS, shrugs then looks back to CO::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Grabs her PADD and quickly follows the CSO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the CMO's COM::  *CMO*: Unsure, Lieutenant, but make sure you have the equipment to perform the operations we spoke of.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Hears the COM and sighs. Grabs his stuff and makes his way to the nearest airlock::  *CO*: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks from the CO to the XO and back at the CO again::

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: No need to worry.  I've done a few simulations in the holosuites.  ::Grins::

CSO_Taliza says:
::After the FCO enters the turbolift:: Computer: Docking Bay 1.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Racks his brain for information that they must have given out at the briefing. Damn his mind. Grabs some more tools and exits::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Bailey*: Lieutenant, once you get on the Erie bring the ship to red alert and await Commander Danforth.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Dismissed, Commander.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> *CO*: Aye, Sir.  ::Exits the turbolift and lumbers into airlock one::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Turns and walks smartly out of the room and enters the turbolift going straight through Operations and heads up to the Erie::  

CTO_Danforth says:
*FCO*: Please report to me on the Bridge of the Erie as soon as possible.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Waits for the doors to close, looks to his officers::  XO/CNS: Tell me, how dedicated do you think this crew is?  How devoted to their jobs are they?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Enters the turbolift with all of his stuff in his arms:: Computer: Airlock one. ::Feels the lift jolt to life::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Thinks: red alert while in space dock?  Lumbers across the gangway into the Erie and heads for the turbolift::

FCO_Thomson says:
*CTO*: Aye, Sir, on my way now with Lieutenant Taliza.

XO_Kerst says:
::Pauses::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Reflects for a few moments on what is about to happen and gets ready for the worst::  *FCO*: Thank you, Ensign.  Danforth out.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Glances around the deck as he sees people entering the Erie.  Follows suit and exits the turbolift::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turbolift stops near docking bay 1:: FCO: This is our stop.  ::Exits::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Follows the CSO::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Very, Sir.  They are totally dedicated I would say! I don't know much about the newest members of the crew but the older members, I would say are totally dedicated to their duties here.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Well, the senior staff, I think we can trust, including you. As for some of the junior officers, I would like to think so but after seeing how wide spread this group is, I just don't know right now.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Enters the turbolift:: Bridge.

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods a to XO::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Crosses gangway to Erie:: FCO: We'll take this turbo to the Bridge.  ::Enters indicated turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  XO/CNS: How much are they willing to give up for the mission?  What if the success of the mission hinged on one or more people giving up their lives?

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: Right behind you, Sir.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Arrives on the Erie and quickly remembers the deck layout.. Follows what he remembers to be the correct corridors and enters a turbolift:: Computer: Sickbay.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Waits for the crew on the Bridge, knowing it will be a skeleton crew::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge and heads for tactical station one.  Powers up the console and brings the ship to Red Alert::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Fiddles with the display of her PADD as the turbolift takes them to the Bridge::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Weird to walk in and find the Bridge empty, but Danforth goes in and begins the initiation sequence::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turbolift stops at Bridge:: FCO: Deck one, here we are. ::Exits and takes science station, noticing Bailey has started power-ups::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stopping to think a moment::

CTO_Danforth says:
Bailey: Good to see you, Bailey.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Again, Sir, normally.  They would do whatever was required to fulfill the mission, including sacrifice their lives.  It's happened before. The question really is, are any of our officers on their side?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Nods:: Sir.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Moves over to the CTO and snaps to attention:: CTO: Sir!

CTO_Danforth says:
::Sits in the center seat as the crew file aboard::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Feels the turbolift stop and gets out silently. Walks down the corridors and finds Sickbay. Enters and looks around, setting his stuff in the nearby office. Begins to prep the room for what may be to come::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Initializes sensors and applies sensor modifications already in effect on station::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: On their side, you think we may have a spy?

CTO_Danforth says:
FCO: At ease, Stephanie, I want to show you something.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: That could be a good question.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Gets out of the center seat and heads over to the flight control console::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Relaxes a smidge:: CTO: Yes, Sir.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Follows the CTO to flight control::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: it is possible, but maybe not anyone we could easily suspect, Sir

CSO_Taliza says:
::Watches FCO and CTO gather at flight::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: I think it is a possibility we need to consider. they did pass the crystals through this station. They may have chosen us because they have a man, or two, or more, on the inside.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Brings up a list of possible ships that left the station at the time they were in the briefing::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Watches the information scrolling on the screen::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: I have not sensed any of the senior staff in any real distress about this mission, just the anxiety of getting this thing done.

CTO_Danforth says:
FCO: These ships possibly contain the crystals we've been looking for.  I want you to check the flight manifests and find out for me who you think our perpetrators are.  Let me know when you've got something.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods at the new thought::  XO/CNS: acknowledged, we will begin giving out information on a need to know basis then.  Now, my next point, from the research, how dedicated would you say this order is?   Are they willing and desperate enough to kill millions of people to get their point across?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Frowns, but nods:: CTO: Aye, Sir.  I'll get right on it.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: A spy could be someone so unnoticeable that we never even saw them.

XO_Kerst says:
XO: I would think so, Alana?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Finishes prepping the smaller bay and sits down in the office. Sighs::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, I think anyone who would go to the lengths that they have is capable of killing anyone in their way but maybe they could also just want to force our hand to see just how far they can push us!

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Sir, should I help the ensign go through that list?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Sits down and begins gathering information on the ships: as it runs, begins a preflight checklist::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs::  XO/CNS: It seems like this mission is becoming more and more dire as time goes on.  Well, we will finish this later, report to the Erie.

XO_Kerst says:
CO/CNS: Brinksmanship is a dangerous game, one false step and everyone's into the abyss.  ::Stands:: CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Begins humming quietly as she reads the information on the ship manifests and flight routes::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Grabs his PADD and walks towards the door::  XO/CNS: Hopefully we can catch them before it is too late.  ::Exits the Ready Room::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Thinks the room feels cold but goes along with it. Shivers lightly but continues to stare at his computer::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands:: Aye, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
::Follows CO and NS out of Ready Room:: CO: I hope so, Sir, I really hope so.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Has sensors ready for launch, goes to flight:: FCO: Need a hand with that list?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Lets the big chair swallow him up and reflects on the next course of action::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> CTO: Tactical is ready for launch.  All systems at full power, Sir.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks up at the CSO:: CSO: Umm, if you'd like.  I think I've narrowed it down to one of these three ships.  ::Points::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Steps onto the turbolift and directs it towards docking bay one::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes a look at the ships on the revised list::

CTO_Danforth says:
Bailey: Thank you, Lieutenant.  Be prepared to take the ship to red alert once the Captain is on board.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Finds that he's starting to remind himself of how he was not to long ago.  Was that a good thing or a bad thing?  He didn't really care, not right now.  He knew he had a job to do and he was the last thing that he should be thinking about::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Growls under his breath:: CTO: Pardon me, Sir but we ARE at Red Alert per the Captain's orders.  ::Gestures to the red blinking lights on the Bridge::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks across Ops::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Leaves the turbolift and walks down the gangway::

CNS_Alana says:
::Thinking about taking XO's hand and swinging along, but does not::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Hmm.  Bajoran, Talorian and Sinovian.  I'm not sure if we can focus too much on that Bajoran ship.  Nothing seems out of place.

CTO_Danforth says:
Bailey: Just teasing you, Bailey.  I never get the chance to sit in the big chair.  Good job.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Enters the Erie through the airlocks, waits for the XO and CNS::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> CTO: Aye, Sir.  ::Turns his attention to the ship's logs, checking the systems::

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: I was going by their flight plans, Sir.  According to this ::Points to another area on the screen:: they have deviated from their projected flight plan.

XO_Kerst says:
::Silently follows CO:

CMO_Sovok says:
::Puts his head in his hands and rubs his eyes::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: That is odd.

CNS_Alana says:
::Sternly gets into the turbolift::  XO: Think that they will take us to the brink on this one?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Once they are aboard::  *Bridge*: FCO: Ensign, launch the Erie, impulse thrusters until we clear the outer markers.  ::Boards a turbolift::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Wonders what the FCO is saying:: FCO: Any news, Ensign?  ::Gets up and walks over to her station::

CNS_Alana says:
::Boarding the Erie::

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: I fear they may be planning to not only go to the brink, but over the brink as well.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: But I noticed the Sinovian vessel is way off it's flight plan, almost by five light years.

FCO_Thomson says:
:Shakes her head as both the CTO and CO talk to her at once:: *CO*: Aye, Sir,  thrusters until the outer markers.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Turbolift: Main Bridge.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Sounds scary.  I hope we get those crystals pretty quickly so we have the upper hand.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Slowly moves the Erie away from the dock, bringing her around in a smooth move and onto their heading::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Alarms sound as the Erie tries to launch without first checking that all hatches are secured and getting launch clearance from Station Operations.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Once we have an idea once ship the crystals are on, I suggest we send a coded priority-one alert to any Starfleet vessels. Maybe someone can hold them up for us.

CTO_Danforth says:
FCO: Let's start at the beginning, Ensign.  ::Smiles at the rookie mistake, wanting her to feel comfortable::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Feels the ship move and sits up.. Wishes there was a window in Sickbay::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the Erie tries to pull away from the docking bay, the umbilicals and docking clamps break off and the Erie is jolted to a stop.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Steph, how about letting me finish the analysis of the flight plans while you fly the ship?

XO_Kerst says:
::Looks up as he hears the alarms::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Blushes as realizes her mistake::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Shakes his head:: FCO: I think you'll have painting duty once we get back.

XO_Kerst says:
*CTO*: What's going on up there?

CNS_Alana says:
::Getting turbolift and heading for the Bridge, Hoping that her assistant though ahead to make sure that a set of her clothing was ready on Erie::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Grabs the turbolift wall as the ship violently shakes::

CTO_Danforth says:
*XO*: Just a simple mistake, Sir.  Ensign Thomson is just getting used to the controls.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Station Ops> ::Shouts::  *Erie*:What the???  Who's piloting that vessel??? 
 
FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks around with a 'now what' look::

CNS_Alana says:
::Notices the alarm but gives it little thought::

CTO_Danforth says:
*Station OPS*: No need to worry, Kootenai.  We're just getting our sea legs here.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Exits the turbolift::  CTO: Report, Commander!

CMO_Sovok says:
::Feels and hears the ripping and stressing of Metal. Taps his COM badge:: *XO*: What in the world is going on up there?!

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Sir, I think Ensign Thomson should concentrate on flying the ship.  I can take over analyzing the three freighters.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: This mission seems to be getting to some of the newer crew. I hope they settle down when the real fun starts.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Station Ops> *Erie*: This is Station Operations!  Do you realize how much damage you just did to the docking bay?  Commander. Corjet is going to have a fit!

FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks at the CSO thankfully - she needed to worry only about one thing right now::

XO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: Pilot error, any casualty reports?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Turns to the CO:: CO: Sir, we're clearing the docking bay now.  Ensign Thomson is just getting her feet wet if you will.  The ship is otherwise fully prepared.  We have full shields and weapons at the ready.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Is very annoyed::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Winks at the FCO:: FCO: Transfer that information to science one.

CTO_Danforth says:
::thinks that Commander. Corjet will probably look at it as a challenge and build a new and better docking bay::

CMO_Sovok says:
*XO*:  ::Chuckles:: No, none to report. Thanks and tell the FCO that I can sympathize.

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.  Will do. ::Quickly does it and then gets back to her style of piloting::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie pulls away from the docking bay taking chunks of the docking clamps with her and the umbilical too.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Commander, can we safely travel with the damage we have?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Returns to science 1 and starts analysis of the three wayward ships::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Moves over to his chair, takes a seat and rubs his head::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Blushes even more as she hears the CO::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Tries his best to deflect responsibility from the poor, new ensign who's trying her best::

XO_Kerst says:
::Checks damage report::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks a s steady as possible to her station and takes a seat::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Station Ops> *Erie*:And who gave you clearance to launch?  It's not recorded in my logs!  ::Shouts::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Station Ops*: Send repair crews to fix the damage immediately, I expect it done when we return.  ::Closes the COM::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: I believe so, Sir. The docking pylons gave way as designed and except for the paint, The Erie appears to be undamaged. However, we won't be using that docking bay for a while.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie is approaching space doors with the broken docking clamps still attached to the hull and the umbilical trailing behind.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Leaves Sickbay and enters the nearest turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Commander, also find out who is yelling at us in Station Ops.  I will wish to speak with him.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Station Ops> ::Grumbles at the COM being cut off then hits the space door release opening the doors::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and looks out the turbolift at everyone trying to figure out what exactly they took with them when leaving port::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: I believe it was Ensign Karear Ofver, Sir, she's new.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks around at the Bridge crew, hoping they settle down soon::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Acknowledged.  ::Turns to the FCO::  FCO: Ensign, once you clear the space doors,  ::Pauses::  after you make sure they are open and pass the markers, jump to maximum warp and take us to Kimpac.

FCO_Thomson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Doors are open.  ::Watches the doors open wider::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Acknowledged, please speak with her later on proper station-starship communication.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain, I've been looking at the analysis Ensign Thomson started on those ships that left while we were meeting with the admiral...

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The space doors open to reveal the blackness of space outside the station.  A single bright star can be seen through the open space doors.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Steps off of the turbolift and looks around the Bridge::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO/XO: Sirs, once we've cleared the dock may we speak for a moment?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Have engineering begin repairs immediately and divert power as needed.  ::Turns to the CTO::  CTO: Bring shields online and have weapons on standby.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Yes and Lieutenant?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Yes, Commander, in a moment.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: There is a Sinovian freighter that was supposed to be heading to its home planet, but it has deviated from its course by about 5 ly.  I think that's our prime suspect.

XO_Kerst says:
::Checks read out:: CO: I believe Randy is already on it. I doubt he is happy about starting a mission this way.

CTO_Danforth says:
CTO: Shields are online and weapons are on standby, Sir.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Guides the Erie through the space doors, careful not to scratch her even more::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Secondary suspect is a Talorian freighter that was supposed to go Deep Space 11, but is actually on a course to a nearby planetary system.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Good, Lieutenant, have the sensors look for it.  ::Looks to FCO::  Stop the Erie right outside of sensor range of Kimpac when we get there.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie glides through the open space doors and heads towards the outer markers.

XO_Kerst says:
FCO: And when this mission settles down, we will have a discussion on station launch procedures.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Responds softly:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks over the science rail::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Also, there is a freighter from my people.  It's supposed to go back home, but it ended up going through the Celestial Temple.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Sighs inwardly and then repeats:: XO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: You wanted to speak?  Here or in the Ready Room?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Starts looking for the Sinovian freighter on LRS::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees the CMO:: CMO: Dr. Sovok?  What's up?

XO_Kerst says:
FCO: Good, now shake it off and put it behind you for now. Concentrate on the now, not the past.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie is approaching the outer markers.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks at the CTO::  CTO: Commander?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Glances over at the CSO:: CSO: Just coming to view our departure.. Guess I missed the action.. ::Grins::

FCO_Thomson says:
CO: Approaching the outer markers, Sir.  Ready to go to warp.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
FCO: Engage at warp 9.6 as soon as we clear.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Well, since you and Dr. Tae left, we've sorely missed having a competent Doctor.  I can't stand that EMH!

FCO_Thomson says:
::Nods at the CO::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, since we plan on infiltrating the planet Kimpac, I think it would be best if the CMO performed cosmetic surgery to look like Bajorans since they compose the majority of the Order.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks down slightly:: CSO: Yes, I know how you feel.  ::Looks back up and takes his seat::

CNS_Alana says:
::Just chill'in, sensing the tension of the crew starting to subside::

XO_Kerst says:
::Hears CTOs idea, and ponders it::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks the Sinovian vessel, and sees its configuration is really Bajoran:: CO: Captain!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Agreed, have the CMO check to see who can be altered and draw up a schedule and standby until I give the go ahead.

CNS_Alana says:
:: Pulls her console toward her and begins looking up information on  the planet Kimpac::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Watches as the Erie clears the outer markers.  Taps on her console and sends the ship into warp, 9.6, headed to Kimpac::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the Erie jumps to warp, the docking clamps and the umbilical are pulled from the hull.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Yes, Lieutenant?

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Actually Captain, although I agree with altering our appearance, since we're not actually Bajorians.  A simple scan would give us away. Wouldn't just be easier to alter us so we don't match our Federation record?  The order has members from nearly every species in the Alpha Quadrant.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: That Sinovian vessel, it's really the Bajoran vessel!  Its crew changed transponders with the Sinovian, or maybe it was a three-way switch with the Talorian.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Glances around the Bridge and hears the familiar hum of warp flight kick in::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Expected to hear the noise he just did::  FCO: Did any breeches form when the clamps were pulled off just now?

CTO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: Dr. Sovok.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO/CO/CTO: Sirs, I think the choice is obvious.  I'll have to go.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Does a quick scan of the outer hull:: CO: Negative, Sir.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Hears something:: *CTO*: Yes, Sir?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Worries about the CSO repeating his performance from the last mission::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Perhaps, Lieutenant.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks around for the CTO and finds him:: CTO: I'm right here, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: That would limit who could go.  I doubt there are many bears ::Motions to Bailey::  or Selay in the Order.

CTO_Danforth says:
CMO: Sorry, Doctor, thought you were in Sickbay.

CMO_Sovok says:
CTO: Don't worry about it.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: I wasn't planning on you coming anyway, Sir.

CTO_Danforth says:
CMO: Can you draw up a list of people who could possibly be physically altered to look Bajoran?  Obviously, I would be included on that list, but anyone else on the senior staff as well.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Pauses::  XO: Acknowledged, we will explore all surgical options once we arrive and find out where the freighter went.

CTO_Danforth says:
CMO: Please make preparations for possible cosmetic surgery then and await the Captain's orders.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods and takes out his PADD:: All: Could I get a crew manifest sent to this PADD? ::Motions to his PADD::

CNS_Alana says:
XO: I agree, that not too many alterations be made, we want to be unconspicuously accepted!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Notices a ping on LRS:: CO: Sir, the Bajoran freighter just changed course.

XO_Kerst says:
CTO/CSO: We will also want new identities to match our new people.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Destination?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Kimpac.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Relief OPS> ::Sends the crew manifest to the CMO's PADD::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It'll arrive there in about two days.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: At least we have a prime suspect now.  Make sure that we do not enter their sensor range.

FCO_Thomson says:
CO: Sir, our ETA at Kimpac is 97.6 hours.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: I wish we still had that Copperfield generator right about now.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I've scanned their sensors discretely.  We could almost breathe down their necks and they wouldn't notice.  It's a very ancient system, about 200 years behind current technology.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
FCO: Very Good, Ensign.  Access the computer and determine the sensor capabilities of Kimpac, once done, bring us to a complete stop outside of their range.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Sighs, hoping 97.6 hours will give her enough time to calm down::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Hears his PADD beep and glances down:: Self: Ah. ::Begins his work::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: I would not mind a fleet of starships, but we will have to do.

FCO_Thomson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Assumes the CO meant just outside Kimpac's sensor range, not anywhere outside it::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: We'll do the job right, Sir.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Smiles slightly and thinks: At least he’s getting some enjoyment out of this day.. some::

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: First the Resistance then the Maquis, now this Order.  When will my people stop its terrorist ways?

XO_Kerst says:
CTO: Keep an eye out for any other ships hiding along our route. Our friend they may have other friends waiting for us.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
All: We have a few days to prepare.  I want everyone ready and all damage to the ship repaired by then.   ::Looks at CMO:: CMO: Get to Sickbay and prepare to do the alterations.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the CO:: CO: Will do, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
::As the prospect for battle looms he just wishes he had grabbed is sword::

Host SM_Darlene says:
