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

Captain Lofton's crew were released from their stasis chambers and briefed on the situation.  Counselor Torez and Tactical Officer Rr'Vellan are now in a turbolift escorting them to an Observation Lounge on Level 17.

Operations Officer Spicer is quietly searching the starcharts for a Class M planet in a state of development equal to that of Earth in the 21st Century.

Chief Science Officer Taliza through several simulations has successfully created a temporal anomaly, however time is running out as the chronoton saturation surrounding the station is quickly dissipating.  In less than 23 minutes the chronoton saturation will be insufficient to open an anomaly to the 21st Century.

Chief Engineer Corjet and his engineers have repaired the shuttle after a fire broke out in the navigational computer.  The mess in the shuttle bay has been cleaned up and the shuttle is ready for launch.

Captain Pavielion and XO Kerst are in Operations overseeing the return of the empty Challenger II to the 21st Century.

CNS_Alana says:
Watson: I am aware that you all have misgivings about this procedure, however these are my orders.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The chronoton particle saturation will be beyond the point of opening an anomaly in 9 minutes.

Captain_Lofton says:
::Sighs::  All: This isn't going to be an easy transition.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Shuttle bay depressurized.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Charges emitters:: CO: Correction, we have only 9 minutes.

CNS_Alana says:
Lofton: we will be in the observation lounge in a moment and you can all relax.

ACTION: The station goes to Red Alert status.

Captain_Lofton says:
CNS: Relax, huh?  If that's what you call this.  I don't think we are going to be able to relax for quite some time. 

CNS_Alana says:
::Exits the turbolift and begins to walk toward the door of the Observation Lounge::

Manuel_Goring says:
::Sighs heavily and puts a hand on Barbara's shoulder::  BARB:  Barb, it's not her decision.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  XO: Commander, then launch the shuttle in 4 minutes and set a course for the point where the anomaly will open.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Hears the red alert ::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Status, Lieutenant?  Is everything all right down there?

XO_Kerst says:
::Moves over to shuttle control station, ensures 4-minute count has begun and coordinates are set.::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Beam ready for firing!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: On your mark, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: 3 minutes, 30 seconds until launch.  Coordinates set and locked.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Go ahead, Lieutenant.  ::Turns::  XO: Commander, launch the Challenger II.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Firing beam.  ::Fires::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A bright beam shoots out from the station emitters directly into the chronoton field.  The anomaly begins to form.  The Challenger II launches from the shuttle bay.

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*: Yes, Sir, we are entering the lounge now with security right here.

Manuel_Goring says:
::Follows the CNS::

XO_Kerst says:
::Nods to the Shuttle Control officer and watches as with a quick set of button pushes, launches the shuttle::

Barbara_Watson says:
::Follows the group out of the turbolift into the Observation Lounge head hung low and still crying::

CNS_Alana says:
::Steps into the lounge and waits for the others to enter::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Shuttle launched, course is good.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aperture opening.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: As soon as the Challenger II is past our shield perimeter, raise shields, Commander.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Status of the anomaly?

Manuel_Goring says:
::Enters the lounge and leans against the rear wall, looking at the ceiling::

Captain_Lofton says:
::Looks around at their new surroundings and follows behind.  Suddenly stops::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks over to Watson as the doors to the lounge close::  Watson: I am truly sorry that this has to be but Captain Pavielion feels that it is best.  ::Motioning for all of them to take a seat, any where::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aperture is at 1 km and opening at a rate of 55 meters per second.

XO_Kerst says:
::Watches the shuttles progress, as soon he sees sit pass the shield perimeter, he calls for ops to raise the shields::

Captain_Lofton says:
::Nails the TO with an elbow and drops him with a chop::

Manuel_Goring says:
::Smacks the security guard nearest him in the face and knocks him out cold::

Barbara_Watson says:
::Sees the signal from Captain Lofton then lunges towards the CNS, knocking her to the deck and grabbing her com badge::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: ETA of the Challenger II to the anomaly?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Watson subdues the CNS.

Captain_Lofton says:
::Seeing the TO out cold, grabs the COM badge and puts it on::

Manuel_Goring says:
::Grabs the weapon from the guard and his communicator badge::

CNS_Alana says:
::Grabs for her phaser but cannot get a handle on it before it is knocked away::

Barbara_Watson says:
Lofton: I have her COM badge!  ::Puts the COM badge on::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Notices something on internal sensors:: CO: Sir, there's commotion in the lounge!

XO_Kerst says:
CO: At present speed, it should enter the anomaly in 3 minutes.

Captain_Lofton says:
::Nods to Manuel::  Manuel: Make the call.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Got no response from the CNS::  *CNS*: Lieutenant, what is your status?

Barbara_Watson says:
::Picks up the CNS' phaser and points it at her:: CNS: Don't move.

Manuel_Goring says:
::Takes the gun and readies it, looking for a target::  Lofton: Okay.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Should I lock out transporter control?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Investigate it, find out what it is.

Captain_Lofton says:
::Kneels down and takes the phaser from the TO and whispers::  TO: Sorry, but sometimes you do what you have to.

CNS_Alana says:
  ::Turns over slowly::  Lofton: Don't do this, you may not have a chance, this  way you will.  Please let us save your lives!

Manuel_Goring says:
*Transporter Room*: Transporter room emergency!  Beam us directly to the bridge of challenger II!

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Should we send security?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Locks down transporter control, then goes to lounge::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Shuttle team is beamed directly onto the shuttle, which is just entering the anomaly.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  CSO: go ahead, and erect a forcefield around level Eight.  ::Turns to the XO::  XO: Commander, get security there.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Crap!  I'm too late.  The shuttle crew just beamed off the station!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Get them back, now!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle enters the anomaly.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: ETA to the anomaly?

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Beam them back now!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Trying.  Attempting to get tractor on them.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks on as the shuttle team dematerializes from sight::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: Too late, sirs!  Challenger II has entered the anomaly!

Barbara_Watson says:
@::Materializes on the shuttle and takes her seat, strapping herself in::

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Crew: Buckle in, this might be rough.  ::Smiles proudly at his crew and takes his seat::

Manuel_Goring says:
@ALL: I'll take my chances with the past.  ::Straps in::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
All: Idiots!!  ::Glares at the viewscreen, raving mad::  They will perish!

XO_Kerst says:
CO: 90 seconds until they’re in.

CNS_Alana says:
::Scrambles to her feet, runs to the COM station::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle shudders and rocks as it flies deeper into the anomaly.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tries to fire a manual tractor beam toward the shuttle::

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*: I guess by now you know that the Challenger team has  escaped!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns::  XO: have security get the lounge on level 17 and find out the condition of the team there.

Manuel_Goring says:
@ALL:  Attempting to stabilize the ship with lateral thrusters!  ::Grips the stick::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Trying to grab it with a wide-beam tractor.

Barbara_Watson says:
@::Rocks in her seat and begins to pass out::

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Crew: Let's go home. 

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Yes, Lieutenant.  Get to Ops with the TO and security.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Monitors tractor::

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: Don't let this fish get away.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Why haven't they been beamed out?

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel:  Full speed ahead.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The attempt to tractor the shuttle is unsuccessful as it is too far into the anomaly now.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I can't get a transporter lock.  Too much interference and the tractor beam failed too.  They're too far in.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: Aye, Sir.  ::Levels the ship and takes it in to the anomaly at full speed::

CNS_Alana says:
*Shuttle bay*: Send a medical team down to the observation lounge on level 17 for two wounded security officers.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Are there any Federation vessels nearby?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Negative.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle crew sees swirling colors surrounding the shuttle as they progress backwards in time to the 21st century.

CNS_Alana says:
::Shaking herself off a bit and walks to the turbolift again::

XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Its too late. They wanted to go back and now they will, only to die on some small rock in space.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ All: This is amazing!

Barbara_Watson says:
@::Tries to stay conscious to witness the event::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hits the COM panel::  COM: Challenger II: Captain Lofton: Captain, what are you doing?  You and your crew will die!  Turn your vessel around immediately!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tries to focus the tractor beam into the anomaly::

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: You said a mouthful.  Remember what they said, there is going to be a rock after this.  I'm trying to level our trajectory.  ::Fights the controls::

CNS_Alana says:
::Hits the COM panel on the way:: *Security*: This is Counselor Torez, I will need two more security officers to join me in Ops.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I'm going to try to pull her out of the jaws of death right before she get to its belly.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle shoots out the exit of the anomaly flying out of control at blazing speed.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tractor beam fires right into belly of anomaly, still open::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Deactivate the tractor beam. The shuttle has to go back. We can't risk the damage to the timeline. They knew what was, is in store for them and chose to go. Let go.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel: Slow us down, full reverse.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Commander, find out who is in the transporter room and beamed that crew out!  I want them on waste detail for a month and reprimanded!  ::Grits his teeth as the Challenger II slips away::

Manuel_Goring says:
@::Fights the shaking of the ship and fires retro boosters::  Lofton: Attempting to dump Velocity!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle flies out of control towards a small moon.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir, and then they have to deal with MY punishment!

CNS_Alana says:
<Security> *CNS*: On our way, Lieutenant.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Deactivates tractor::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Lieutenant, their COM system was shot correct?  They have no ability to send out any messages?

Captain_Lofton says:
@ ::Points at the moon::  Manuel:  Watch out.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Captain:  We're coming in hot!  ::Yanks back on the stick hard::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: From the last report from Commander. Corjet, their communications and flight control were damaged from that fire however I believe his engineers repaired them.

CNS_Alana says:
::Entering the turbolift ::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: At the last minute the shuttle responds to Goring's navigational attempts and it barely misses smashing into the moon.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: Controls are mushy but we missed!!!  Firing retros to full!

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel: Yes!

CNS_Alana says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks into OPS::

Barbara_Watson says:
@::Plastered to her seat, tears streaming down her cheeks::

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel: What's our speed?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle slows down a bit and Goring regains control.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I don't know how they survived.  Surely they would have crashed into that moon.  We didn't get enough time to fix their computers.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Barb: Check the cargo hold.

Manuel_Goring says:
@ALL:  We are at 65 km per second and slowing.  Nothing on time or on objects in our path yet.

Barbara_Watson says:
@::Peels herself out of her seat and walks to the rear cargo hold to check on the animals.  Sees the animal cages are empty then runs back to the Captain::  Lofton: They've taken our animals!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: what is the status of the anomaly?

Manuel_Goring says:
@ALL:  We have control!  Course, Captain?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: It's a shame they were hauled off to insane asylums.  CO: The anomaly is closing on its own Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Thinking that she knew something was not right about the shuttles attitudes and feel that more security could have prevented them from escaping if they were in their quarters instead of being allowed to observe::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The anomaly suddenly disappears leaving behind a high chronoton saturation.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ ::Shakes his head:: Barb: I guess it’s a compromise then.  We come back and they didn't.

CSO_Taliza says:
All: Temporal anomaly closed.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel: Set course for Earth.  Let's go home.

Barbara_Watson says:
@::Sighs:: Lofton: Yes, Sir.  ::Plops back down in her seat::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Counselor, come here please.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: Aye, Sir!  ::Smiles and sets course for Earth::

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Barb: Gather everything we took from the station and get rid of it.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Lieutenant, would we be able to get the anomaly back?

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks over toward CO::  CO: Sir, I knew something was going to go wrong... I just knew it!

Barbara_Watson says:
@Lofton: Yes, Sir.  ::Gathers the weapons and the COM badges::  Lofton: What should I do with them, Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: We have a high saturation of chronotons.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  CNS: Lieutenant, I will want a full report from you and the security officers on my desk by 0800 tomorrow.

Manuel_Goring says:
@::Hands Barb his badge and weapon::  Lofton: How about jettisoning them to that moon?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: They were too calm, I sensed that they were just too alright about this, but they voiced something else!

Captain_Lofton says:
@Barb:  I guess all we can do it jettison them.  ::Nods to Manuel::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Keep the chronoton shielding up and monitor their levels.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Crew: Now remember.  No one can ever know what we've seen.  Never.  Is that understood?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Are you suggesting we put a time rift right in front of the shuttle's path and bring them back?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Yes, Sir! I will inform the security officers that are in shuttle bay also.

Manuel_Goring says:
@ALL: Well, we should get out more often!  ::Giddy with excitement::  Ummm...aye, Sir.  ::Straightens face::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: How long could you hold the anomaly open?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I have an update on the historical records.  NASA said the flight was "mysteriously aborted."  I guess maybe 15 minutes.

Barbara_Watson says:
@Lofton: Yes, Sir.  ::Places the weapons and COM badges into the waste tube and jettisons them out into space::

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Crew: An ion storm damaged our systems too severely to continue.  We had to sacrifice the animals to save oxygen.

CNS_Alana says:
::Sighs as she makes her way to the other side of OPS::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: An update?  But would not our memories change?

Barbara_Watson says:
@Lofton: I guess that means we can't tell anyone back home what happened to us?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, some people can be affected by temporal changes.  Others cannot.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Barb:  Sorry, this is one story I don't think you should tell the kids.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: Aye, Sir.  We nearly plowed right into some rock we got thrown around so badly.  We're all just glad to be alive.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ ::Smiles:: Manuel: Very glad.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO/CO: They avoided a crash.

Barbara_Watson says:
@Lofton: How do we know if we've been returned to the correct timeline?

Manuel_Goring says:
@All:  But just between us, I liked that Federation.  I think it's worth striving for.  ::Voice trails off::

Manuel_Goring says:
@Barb: Well, wherever we are, we're here.  That's good enough for me.

Captain_Lofton says:
@Barb: How can we tell we haven't?  ::Smirks::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Should I still bring them back?  I mean, they have knowledge of the future and it could be dangerous.

Barbara_Watson says:
@Lofton: Well, I suppose we'll know when we land back on Earth.

CNS_Alana says:
::Wishing that now she could have used hypnosis on that crew::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs, shaking his head::  CSO: No, Lieutenant.  I do not want to risk any more damage to the timeline.  We will already have a lot to answer to for this incident.  ::Turns::  XO: Commander, stand down from red alert.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir. 

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Cancel red alert.

XO_Kerst says:
<OPS> XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Cancels red alert::

Barbara_Watson says:
@::Hopes she doesn't return to Earth only to find her kids have grown and moved away::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Deletes plan to bring back the Challenger II::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Lieutenant, find a way to destroy that chronoton field, I do not want any other vessels appearing from other timelines ever again.

Manuel_Goring says:
@ALL:  Well, have we got anything left to eat?  Even K-rations sound good at this point...

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, the chronoton particles have a natural dispersal life of only 30 days.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ ::Laughs:: Manuel:  You?  K-rations?  You could never keep those things down during training.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
#::Stands from the command chair of the USS Seahawk:: COM: Kootenai Station: This is Admiral Mitchell.  Put me through to the Captain.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Very well, Lieutenant, then quarantine off that area and keep all vessels away from it.  I do not want any ion trials or warp cores interfering with it, just in case.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Putting up quarantine buoys now.

Manuel_Goring says:
@ ::Chuckles::  Lofton: I can eat anything.  Except that liver mush stuff your aunt made.

CSO_Taliza says:
<OPS>: Sir, incoming message from Admiral Mitchell.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: I will take it in my Ready Room ::Turns::  XO: Commander, you have Ops.  ::Leaves Ops and enters his Ready Room, takes a seat and activates his terminal::  COM: USS Seahawk: Mitchell: Yes, Admiral, a pleasure to see you back.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel: Aunt Isabelle's pate fois groi?  That's a delicacy.

XO_Kerst says:
::Sits in the big chair and sulks::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
#COM: Kootenai: CO: Our sensors are picking up a high concentration of chronoton particles located just outside the outer markers.

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks up behind XO and stands there hopingly unnoticed::

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: ::Grimaces:: There was nothing delicate about that stuff!  It was VILE!  

XO_Kerst says:
::Calls up the name of the transporter chief who beamed the crew onto the shuttle.  He's going to pay for his incompetence!::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
COM: USS Seahawk: Admiral: Yes, Admiral, we had an anomaly open there briefly.  It has closed now and we are quarantining off that area now, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Clearing her throat:: XO: ught! ught!  Sir?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
ACTION: The shuttle flies without incident back to Earth.

XO_Kerst says:
::Startled at the CNS::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, the quarantine buoys are in place around the chronoton field.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Wonders if the Admiral was affected by the change in the timeline::

XO_Kerst says:
::Turns towards Alana and smiles weakly:: CNS: Yes?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Stands forward in front of the viewscreen:: COM: Kootenai: CO: I have an official communiqué from Starfleet Command.  It is a formal complaint from Lieutenant Taliza Cal.  What is this all about?

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Sir! Will you be wanting to have a meal soon?

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: We're coming up on re-entry...rotating the ship for earth-atmosphere entry...

Captain_Lofton says:
@ ::Shakes his head and smiles::

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel: Take us in nice and easy.  We didn't come all this way to mess up now.

XO_Kerst says:
::Pauses:: CNS: Yes, yes I think I will.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Perhaps we could have one together in the Officers Lounge soon?
::Turns, immediately not waiting for an answer and exits OPS::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
COM: USS Seahawk: Admiral: A complaint, Sir?  I would have to read it before I could answer anything as to that matter.  I would also prefer not discussing this matter over subspace, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: That sounds wonderful. Say in 30 minutes?

Manuel_Goring says:
@ Lofton: Have I ever let you down before?  ::Hits a few switches and fires the orbit-control thrusters::  COM: Houston:  Houston, this is Challenger II!  You have some tired astronauts that are coming home...

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
#COM: Kootenai: CO: Very well, Captain.  I will meet you in my office tomorrow at 1500 hours.  I expect you to be fully briefed on this complaint upon your arrival.  Please clear us for docking.  Mitchell, out.

Captain_Lofton says:
@ Manuel:  Well, there was that one time in the simulator.  I seem to remember you trying to land us in the ocean?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Ends the COM with the admiral::  *XO*: Commander, the Seahawk will be here momentarily, have docking bay two ready for it, Commander.

XO_Kerst says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: ::Rolls eyes::  You had to bring that up.  Whatsamatta, you don't wanna go swimming, Cap?

XO_Kerst says:
Space Dock Control: Prepare docking bay to for the Admiral's arrival and clear them to dock.

XO_Kerst says:
<Space Dock Control> XO: Aye, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Seahawk FCO> COM: Kootenai: OPS: This is the USS Seahawk requesting clearance to dock.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: We have clearance from Houston.  Beginning orbital descent.  ::Fires orbital thrusters::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs, begins to prepare a report for the admiral and the Department of Temporal Investigations::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears the admiral is arriving, prepares his report::

XO_Kerst says:
<OPS>: COM: Seahawk: Seahawk this is Kootenai, you are cleared to dock at docking bay 2.  Turning you over to Space Dock Control.

CNS_Alana says:
::Arrives in her office, contacts the shuttle bay to check on security officers then begins to write her report of the incident::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Lieutenant, what is being done with the animals that were taken from the Challenger II?

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: Blackout in 20 seconds...19...18...17...

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Seahawk FCO> COM: Kootenai: OPS: Acknowledged.  Seahawk, out.

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*: As far as I know they are in cargo bay 2 in cages, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Seahawk approaches the docking bay and docks with the station without incident.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: I would hope not, Lieutenant, since the bay was depressurized before the Challenger II was launched.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Challenger II lands on Earth.

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*: Perhaps I am wrong, Sir, I will check on their whereabouts and get that information directly to you.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Thank you, Lieutenant.

Manuel_Goring says:
@Lofton: The eagle has landed!  Crack the window I need a breath of fresh air.

XO_Kerst says:
::Sees it is about time for his dinner date:: CSO You have Ops, I'll be in the officers lounge having dinner.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Hears what sounds like a goat kicking at her door::
