Episode 84: "The Past is not Forgotten, Part 1"

The USS Luna has finally reappeared in the Alpha Quadrant after their adventure on Revin.  They brought back with them the documentation to open and close the rift at will.  Also, Ambassadors traveled with them -Queen Arabella and her Son Prince Raymond.  They are now safely ensconced on Earth in San Francisco.  Reyarc came as a representative of the Suri, but has elected to stay with Lt Singh.  With permission from Queen Arabella, the Lt is now the guardian of the boy.  The Luna now is about to dock with SB 917.

FCO_Hanover says:
::maneuvers the Luna around and drops to thrusters::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::turns back to his console and hails SB 917::
Host SM_Arlene says:
COM: Luna:  You are on final approach...  Dock at docking pylon 3..
Lt_Glover says:
@::Standing at the docking ring of the station, looking over his equipment::
Host XO_Savar says:
*Adm_Xavier*: Admiral Xavier, I thought you would like to know that we are presently docking with the Starbase.
FCO_Hanover says:
::nods hearing the COM and maneuvers for Docking Pylon 3::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::awaits the arrival of the Luna, very anxious to start tearing her apart::
TO_Rowe says:
::straightens his uniform hoping he looks good::
EO_Mindz says:
::Getting ready to start shutting down systems::
FCO_Hanover says:
*EO*: Prepare to switch over to station power.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
*XO*:  Thank you Cmdr..  I'll meet you at the meeting point for Lt Richards.  Cmdr, from what I've found out... I'm not liking this situation.
OPS_Owens says:
COM: SB917: Aye Station Ops.  Pylon 3.  ::turns to the FCO to see if she heard::
FCO_Hanover says:
::eases the ship next to the pylon:: OPS: Tell them we are ready for the umbilicals.
EO_Mindz says:
*FCO*:  Aye
Host XO_Savar says:
*Adm*: Can you explain?
Lt_Glover says:
@Ricen: I think I got everything we need ::Grins:: i made sure to bring 2 torches this time
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::looks at the Lt:: Lt. Glover, have you got everything?
OPS_Owens says:
COM: SB917: Prepared for Umbilical Connect.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
*XO*:  'Fraid not Cmdr... its very sensitive over the com system.  You will get your briefing.
EO_Mindz says:
::prepares to switch power over to station power::
Host XO_Savar says:
*Adm*: Understood, ma'am.
FCO_Hanover says:
::starts the docking procedures and secures the clamps::
CEO_To`Mach says:
@::stands waiting for the docking to finish::

ACTION:  As Lt To'Mach waits in the docking ring he observes several ships.  One in particular as it is being repaired.  The port nacelle falls off as he watches.

FCO_Hanover says:
XO: Clamps secure sir...shutting down the engines.
Lt_Glover says:
@Ricen: yep yep ::Smiles and sways from side to side waiting::
OPS_Owens says:
::as the clamps lock on he reduces energy output to the thrusters::
FCO_Hanover says:
::starts shut down procedures for the engines::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: All propulsion and navigational systems powered down sir.
Host Vagrant says:
::Walks and bumps into the large Klingon waiting in the docking ring.  He slips a Padd into his duffle bag.::
FCO_Hanover says:
*EO*: Switch over to station power...I have all systems shut down and locked out on the bridge.
CTO_Jarot says:
::moves to the back of the bridge, entering the security codes for retrieval of the security locks normally used for lockdown and repairs::  *TO*: Jarot to Rowe....how're things down there, Lieutenant...?
CEO_To`Mach says:
@::watches the Nacelle fall of the ship:: Self: Typical Starbase Engineers.
CSO_Singh says:
::Quietly shutting down her station::
EO_Mindz says:
*FCO*: Aye. ::switches power over to station::
Host XO_Savar says:
FCO: Understood.  OPS: Very good.  All: As soon as you have shut down your stations, let's go meet our guests.
TO_Rowe says:
*CTO*: Quiet sir, they aren't on board yet.
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::notices the Luna CEO standing near the airlock::
Lt_Glover says:
@::Points to the CEO:: Ricen: isn't that the CEO of this ship?
OPS_Owens says:
::initiates final shut down procedures and logs off his station::
CSO_Singh says:
::Finishes securing the main computer and ships data.::
CEO_To`Mach says:
@::turns staring at Vagrant:: Vagrant: Your problem is?
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::whispers:: Lt: Yep Glover, that's him. want to tell him that we're about to tear apart his ship?
Host XO_Savar says:
::From the center chair, he completes ship wide shut down procedures, and leads the way to the turbolift::
CTO_Jarot says:
::smiles::  *TO*: That's a good sign, Lieutenant... keep me informed, Jarot out.
FCO_Hanover says:
::logs off her station and stands up:: XO: With your permission I need to take care of a couple of things in the shuttle bay.
OPS_Owens says:
::stands from his station beginning to head for a TL but waits for the others::
TO_Rowe says:
::chuckles as he looks around the corridor a bit::
Host Vagrant says:
CEO:  So sorry sir, so sorry, please don't kill me...  ::looks at where he put the PADD.::
Lt_Glover says:
@Ricen: sure...::Walks over to the CEO:: CEO: hello
CTO_Jarot says:
::having retrieved the necessary lockdown codes he moves to tactical 1, giving one of his staff at tactical 2 a confident nod before returning to his to-do list::
Host XO_Savar says:
FCO: Can you transfer those duties to a junior officer?  I believe it would be prudent for you to join us at the briefing.
CEO_To`Mach says:
Vagrant: You best be paying attention to what you are doing!
FCO_Hanover says:
XO: Briefing sir? I was under the impression that we were turning our ship over to a bunch of quacks.
Host Vagrant says:
CEO:  I will I will.... ::Scurries off mission accomplished.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::locks down his station, and makes his way to the TL with the rest of the senior staff::
OPS_Owens says:
::holds a TL door open::
Lt_Glover says:
@::Takes a step back as the CEO talks to the Vagrant::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::looks through his stuff, making sure he brought the big plasma torches this time::
CEO_To`Mach says:
@::turns and looks at the LT:: Glover: Yes Lieutenant?
Host XO_Savar says:
FCO: I believe they are Engineers, and yes.  But we are being temporarily reassigned to another vessel, and will be briefed about our upcoming mission.
CSO_Singh says:
::Inputs her codes, completing security::
FCO_Hanover says:
::mutters under her breath:: Call them what you want they are quacks.
OPS_Owens says:
::continues to wonder what sneaky underhandedness is going on with the unlikely timeing of both an SFI Operative and two engineers arriving on the ship at the same time supposedly to see how the magnetic fields of the alternate universe had on the ship::
Lt_Glover says:
@CEO: you are the CEO here correct? I was wondering if you are going back abord? if so...are you going to be long?
CTO_Jarot says:
::finally enters the TL and hands the XO a PADD::  XO: Your security codes, Sir...
Host XO_Savar says:
::Takes the CTO's PADD, and thanks him::
CSO_Singh says:
::Steps away from her console and looks around::
CSO_Singh says:
::Slips into the TL with the two men.::
CEO_To`Mach says:
@Glover: Yes I am the Chief Engineer for the Luna and you are?
FCO_Hanover says:
::grudgingly enters the TL::
Lt_Glover says:
@CEO: the one that is going to be taking it apart...to check everything out...
Host XO_Savar says:
::Brings up the rear of everyone::  Computer: Deck 9
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::walks over to the CEO and Glover:: CEO: We are the Station Engineering crew that's going to tear apart the Luna
CSO_Singh says:
::Smiles uncertainly at Ana::
OPS_Owens says:
::feels squashed in the back of the TL::
FCO_Hanover says:
::looks over at Harmony and tries to smile::
EO_Mindz says:
::leaves ME and heads for the air lock::
OPS_Owens says:
::thinks this is the last time he holds the TL door for everyone::
CEO_To`Mach says:
@::sets bag on the floor hearing a slight clunk looks at Ricen and Glover:: Ricen: With all due respect commander I better find the Luna in one piece when you are finished.
OPS_Owens says:
::feels the TL slow down as it arrives at Deck 9::
Host XO_Savar says:
::Once the turbolift makes its way down, he steps out first and leads the way to the crossover bridge::
CEO_To`Mach says:
@::pulls the PADD out of bag and looks at it::
OPS_Owens says:
::leaves the TL last following the rest::
FCO_Hanover says:
::follows along behind the rest of the group still not happy about this::
Lt_Glover says:
@CEO: if possible, could you not go back on, makes our job harder.. ::Giggles:: Ricen: one piece eh?
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks around and sees Reyarc quietly waiting for her.  Shakes her head and says nothing.::
OPS_Owens says:
FCO: You look at little disheartened my dear.  Is there something I can do?  Need an ear to talk too?
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::laughs:: Lt: The fun part of this job, letting the CEO's think that we'll put it back together
CTO_Jarot says:
::follows the XO and OPS as they make their way to the Starbase, tapping his commbadge::  *TO*: Jarot to Rowe...what's your location at the moment...?
FCO_Hanover says:
::looks over at OPS:: OPS: I don't like this one bit...they call them engineers but I think they are all quacks.
Host XO_Savar says:
::After they cross the bridge, Savar walks to the assembled group, and nods to the Admiral and Captain::
CSO_Singh says:
::Follows behind the CTO with Reyarc::
Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Waits for the crew to exit the ship.::
OPS_Owens says:
::chuckles::  FCO: Personally I don't like the absurd coincidence of those two engineers arriving at precisely the same time as a SFI Operative.  Strange if you ask me.
CEO_To`Mach says:
Glover: Do not think I will not have charges brought up if the Luna is not up to specifications.
TO_Rowe says:
::sneaks up on the CTO whispering:: CTO: Right here sir.
FCO_Hanover says:
OPS: I don't know anything about SFI Operatives...this whole thing makes the hair on the back of my neck stiff.
OPS_Owens says:
::arrives along with the rest nodding out of respect at the Admiral then the CO::

ACTION:  As To'Mach looks at the PADD he sees three children's faces all human.  All their pertinent data is including along with a final date...  The date they went missing.

Cmdr_Ricen says:
CEO: By the time we're finished with her, the Luna will be in several pieces
Lt_Glover says:
::Stands up straight and salutes:: CEO: yes sir! ::Falls to the ground from the amount of equipment his caring::
CSO_Singh says:
::Stops with the rest of the group, looking around::

ACTION:  Cmdr Ricen points to the ship whose nacelle broke off to make his point.

OPS_Owens says:
FCO: I understand your feelings quite well my lass.  I remember a time when I was assigned to a Communication Array and...  ::pauses::  but this is hardly the time for a tale.
FCO_Hanover says:
::spots To'Mach and waits for him to look around:: OPS: ::chuckles:: It might be better than listening to this.
TO_Rowe says:
::stands waiting with the rest::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at Rowe and nods::  Rowe: Excellent...it seems we have to relinquish full control of the Luna for the moment... therefore we don't need to plan our security just yet...but I intend to schedule a full security sweep once we return onboard the Luna.... I want to know what those Starbase people have done to our ship...
OPS_Owens says:
::eyes the Commander named "Ricen" for his comment::
Host CO_Harm says:
::Glances at the Admiral as the crew arrives::
TO_Rowe says:
::nods:: CTO: Of course sir.
CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head in the negative as Reyarc asks her a question::
CEO_To`Mach says:
Ricen: That goes for you to Cmdr.... I'm sure that Admiral Xavier would be willing to bring charges of dereliction of duty. ::glares at the commander::
Lt_Glover says:
::Gets up and dust himself off:: Ricen: Come on.....please, lets go.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
All: Please take a look out into the docking ring, you should see the ship that SFC has decided to give you for this mission.  ::Grumbles::  I thought it was a joke, but it appears that it isn't.
CEO_To`Mach says:
::looks back at the PADD and starts to wonder what this is about::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
CEO :We're good at what we do, and that's take apart ships that are to be scraped out after their decommissioning
CSO_Singh says:
::Turns around and looks::
Host XO_Savar says:
::Looks, and raises an eyebrow:: Adm: I must protest, Admiral.
TO_Rowe says:
::finally realizes he is still carrying an extra rifle, he offers one to the CTO::
OPS_Owens says:
Ricen: Excuse me Commander??  After their decommissioning?
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the docking ring as his eyes go wide::  Self: What...??  That's no ship...that's a bathtub...
CEO_To`Mach says:
::turns on the Commander:: Ricen: You best be good at putting them back together::
CSO_Singh says:
::Sees only a ship needing repair.  Looks some more.::
OPS_Owens says:
::flashes an apologetic glance at the CO and the Admiral for his speaking out of turn::
Host Adm_Xavier says:
XO:  Savar, I've yelled till I was blue in the face, but apparently it will be flyable within the hour.  They just need to reattach the nacelle so it could sort of fly.  Apparently that is important.
FCO_Hanover says:
OPS: They have to be joking!
CTO_Jarot says:
::takes the phaser offered by his TO::  TO: Good thinking, Lieutenant...
Lt_Glover says:
::Sighs and gives up waiting and starts to enter the Luna ::Wonders where to start cutting::
TO_Rowe says:
::Nods:: CTO: Thank you sir.
Host XO_Savar says:
::Holds his tongue against further comments:: Adm: Then I believe we have a briefing?
CEO_To`Mach says:
::turns back looking at the window:: Self: I see the Petaq still don't know anything!
Cmdr_Ricen says:
::turns to the new voice:: OPS: Yes, our orders are to take apart the Luna after her decommissioning
CSO_Singh says:
::Realizing what they are talking about, speaks out::  Adm:  Admiral, but that is not logically possible.  There is no way it would be ready in an hour.
OPS_Owens says:
FCO: They'd bloody well better be or there will be hell to pay.
Host Lt_Richards says:
All:  Time is of the essence.  We must get going.  ::Face is stone.::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
::whispers:: Lt: Glover, gullible
Host CO_Harm says:
Adm: Maybe if we knew what our mission was this might make more sense?
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CSO:  I know that, but the shape of the ship is important.
OPS_Owens says:
Ricen: But the Luna is still in her prime.  Why in the name of the Galaxy would she be decommissioned?
Lt_Glover says:
Ricen: Come on, you had your fun, we are already behind
CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head::  Adm:  If it is that important, then we need a ship that will fly.  I will not go out on a ship that can't fly to find myself in some sort of wormhole due to an imbalance in the engines.
CEO_To`Mach says:
Ricen: On whose orders? ::sets jaws glaring at the commander::
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Captain, you will have a full crew at your disposal...  It will be slow, but you'll get there.
Cmdr_Ricen says:
Lt: Well Glover we better get to taking out those critical system that's to be transferred to that Steamrunner
TO_Rowe says:
XO: Sir, I must protest if we take this ship it will put us and her crew in danger.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CSO:  Lt please don't make me court martial you.  I assure you the ship will be safe.  Sort of.
Lt_Glover says:
::Shakes his head and starts for the TL::
CSO_Singh says:
::Stands firm, determination on her face::  Adm:  I made a promise not to get lost again.  I will not.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
All:  The ship will hold out until you reach....  Well, we will discuss that.
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins as he taps Harmony on the shoulder and whispers::  CSO: Hear hear, Harm...you read my mind... ::smiles::
OPS_Owens says:
::steps over to the Admiral::  Adm: Ma'am!  ::pauses to cool down and speaks softer::  Ma'am, why is the Luna being decommissioned?
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CSO:  If you are with your crew on that barge how are you getting lost?
Host Adm_Xavier says:
OPS:  Lt.... decommissioned?  Over my dead body.
Cmdr_Ricen says:
::heads to the turbolift::
CEO_To`Mach says:
::turns to the Admiral:: ADM: No offense ma'am but who is going to certify the ship to be safe for operations?
CSO_Singh says:
::Points::  ADM:  Because it is not possible to do what you are proposing, and I am not an engineer... ma'am.
Host CO_Harm says:
All: Everyone quiet down, I am sure there is some rational explanation for everything.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CEO:  It won't be... it meet bare minimum to accomplish what you are doing.
OPS_Owens says:
Adm: Ma'am, the Commander over there  ::points::  seems to be under the impression that he is to decommission this ship.
FCO_Hanover says:
::walks over to OPS and the ADM:: ADM: That is what they said......they are going to cut her apart and start transferring parts.
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Alec, I am not getting on that thing.
Lt_Glover says:
Ricen: I'll start with engineering
Cmdr_Ricen says:
Lt: I'll head to the Bridge
CEO_To`Mach says:
ADM: I think I would like to have my department go over the ship before departure if you wouldn't mind ma'am.
TO_Rowe says:
::hears the Captain and holds his next statement::
Lt_Glover says:
Ricen: What do you want me to start on first?
CTO_Jarot says:
::smiles::  CSO: No worries...I'm with you...
Host Adm_Xavier says:
OPS:  Well that Commander over there forgot to take his medication this morning... Unless he wants to be an engineer on a garbage scow, he will mind his manners.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CEO:  You may... You have three days to make it safe for your crew.
FCO_Hanover says:
ADM: Whatever they are doing they haven't even allowed the families off the ship yet!
Host Adm_Xavier says:
All:  You must be off the station within the week.
TO_Rowe says:
::mutters:: Self: Garbage scow is what we have...what did we do?
Host Lt_Richards says:
CO: Captain, I must insist...
OPS_Owens says:
::isn't entirely convinced thinking of the chain of events... the SFI Operative, the two engineers with free access to the ship and now the mention of a decommission::
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  With me where?  On that that... ::Sighs::  Until it is flyable, it does not deserve the title of starship.
CEO_To`Mach says:
ADM: Thank you ma'am.
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  I don't know how I am going to tell my family I was court-martialed for refusing to step in a bucket.
CTO_Jarot says:
CSO: Well, I didn't call it a starship, Harm... ::continues with the crowd::
CSO_Singh says:
::Follows, her feet dragging::  CTO:  Did she say we have a week to fix it?

ACTION:  Lt Richards talks into his commbadge and the crew is transported to the OL of the USS Rothchild.

Cmdr_Ricen says:
@Lt: Start with the Plasma conduits, make sure they haven't suffered any major damage
OPS_Owens says:
::materializes on a strange ship::
TO_Rowe says:
::looks around as he is transported and fights with his trigger finger::
OPS_Owens says:
::looks around to try and determine it's class::
FCO_Hanover says:
::looks around at the odd place they are:: ALL: What is going on?
Host CO_Harm says:
::Startled by the abrupt transport::
Host XO_Savar says:
::Materializes::
CEO_To`Mach says:
::materializes looking around with a scowl::

ACTION:  As they materialize the ship of the ship is pristine, the outside certainly does not compare to the inside.  Everything works.

CTO_Jarot says:
::materializes::  Self: Well...sheesh...
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@*Shipwide*: This Commander Ricen, we need everyone to depart from the Luna so that the Station Engineering crew can begin their repairs of the ship
CSO_Singh says:
::Her eyes flash in anger, calming as Reyarc lightly touches her arm.::
OPS_Owens says:
::is not liking this one bit... SFI, two engineers, decommission and sudden unwarranted and unwanted transports... storms out of the Obs Lounge to the bridge for the Ops console::
Host XO_Savar says:
::Takes note of where they are, and the condition:: All: Everyone take a seat, please.  Lt_Richards: Lieutenant, before you begin, the Captain and I have business to take care of.
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at Harmony::  CSO: Sheesh....I love SFI...
Host Lt_Richards says:
::Mutters:: XO:  Make it quick.
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  I do NOT.  ::Mutiny on her face::
CEO_To`Mach says:
::stands against the back wall still scowling::
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins::
OPS_Owens says:
::sits at Ops logging on::
TO_Rowe says:
::plops very impatiently into a chair instead of taking his normal standing position in the back::
FCO_Hanover says:
::stands near the back not sure what is going on::
Host XO_Savar says:
Richards: Lieutenant, you will speak to me with the respect becoming my rank.
Lt_Glover says:
@::Enter main engineering and looks around with a huge grin across his face::
Host CO_Harm says:
Lt: I am not sure what the command structure is in Intelligence, but out here a Commander still outranks a Lt.
Host Lt_Richards says:
::Taken aback.::  XO:  Aye Sir.
Host Lt_Richards says:
::Mutters under his breath about non intel people::
CTO_Jarot says:
::takes a seat in the observation lounge::
OPS_Owens says:
::trying to pull up all files related to the Luna's stationing at SB 917 and the crew's reassignment to this vessel as well as it's orders::
FCO_Hanover says:
::looks around and spots To'Mach...walks over:: CEO: Hello To'Mach...do you have any clue as to what is going on?
Host CO_Harm says:
ALL: As the XO has indicated have a seat.
CSO_Singh says:
::Sits next to Alec, saying nothing as Reyarc looks quietly around the room.::
TO_Rowe says:
~~~CTO: Sir, I want you to know that I am very outraged by this~~~
CEO_To`Mach says:
::picks up the Muttering turning head to the sound:: FCO: I wish I did but as soon as we are through I think I need to talk with the CO and XO. ::still holds the PADD not knowing what to make of it::
Lt_Glover says:
@::Logs on to an engineering console and starts running a few tests::
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~TO: Noted, Lieutenant....I'm not happy about this procedure as well...~~~
OPS_Owens says:
::slams his fist on the console not finding any information what-so-ever:: Self: Bloody Starfleet Intelligence...
FCO_Hanover says:
CEO: If you can get any answers... ::looks around::
Host XO_Savar says:
*OPS*: Lieutenant Owens, your presence is required in the Observation Lounge.
Host XO_Savar says:
::Looks at the Captain, wondering why in the world the OPS officer would run out of a briefing::
OPS_Owens says:
::stands storming back to the Obs Lounge door pausing at it to regain his composer::
Host CO_Harm says:
ALL: Before we get to the briefing by Lt. Richards, which I am sure will answer ALL of our questions we have a bit of ship's business to take care of.
CSO_Singh says:
::Mutters::  I doubt it.
OPS_Owens says:
::as he reestablishes his "normal" appearance he re-enters the Obs Lounge::  CO: My apologies Captain, something required my urgent attention.  ::takes a seat::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::arrives on the Bridge and heads over to navigation and checks the navigational controls::
TO_Rowe says:
::listens very closely to the CO::
CSO_Singh says:
::Gathers her patience around her, wondering why she is being so rebellious.  She even talked back to the admiral.::
Host CO_Harm says:
ALL: As you are aware, our former Second Officer has accepted an assignment as Executive Officer on board the USS Nighthawk.  This leaves us with a very critical vacancy.
OPS_Owens says:
::nods accepting of the advancement of a fine officer in O'Guinn::
FCO_Hanover says:
::does a quick mental check with Serak and finds that they are secure on the base::
Lt_Glover says:
@::Takes off his equipment belt and lays it flat, and wonders what tool to use first::
Host Lt_Richards says:
::Drums his fingers on the table.::
Host CO_Harm says:
ALL: It is my privilege to promote Lt. Owens to the position of second officer at this time.
OPS_Owens says:
::nods at those looking in his direction without a change in composure::
TO_Rowe says:
::nods and looks at the OPS letting him know his congratulations::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks over at the OPS officer that Silver still didn't like, though she wasn't sure why.::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@:: begins checking for possible Berthold radiation exposure::
Host Lt_Richards says:
::Lets out a big sigh..::  All:  Sheesh are we all going to hug now?
Lt_Glover says:
@::Picks he's plasma torch and begins working::
OPS_Owens says:
::nods back at the TO and then the CSO in a "Thank You" way::
OPS_Owens says:
::wonders if Glinn Marat would like to have access to this Lieutenant Richards... then shakes the thought off::
Host CO_Harm says:
Lt: I am sure your briefing can be as effectively given from the brig as it can from the OL
Host Lt_Richards says:
::Stands up getting ready to talk.:: OPS:  Congratulations sir... are you going to make a speech?
TO_Rowe says:
::stands up:: CO: Shall I?
CTO_Jarot says:
::gives OPS a confident nod and faint smile since he feels something serious is up::
Host Lt_Richards says:
CO:  You need me Captain...  ::Smirks::
Host CO_Harm says:
TO: At Ease Lt.
FCO_Hanover says:
::leans back against the wall waiting to hear what this is all about::
TO_Rowe says:
CO: Yes sir ::sits relaxing again::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::runs a sweep forwards and backwards::
OPS_Owens says:
::stands::  Richards: As a matter of fact I will.  I want to assure the crew that I will get to the bottom of anything that is not on the up and up on this ship.  ::locks eyes with Richards before retaking his seat::
Host CO_Harm says:

Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::other than that, he finds a few loose nuts and bolts::
Host Lt_Richards says:

~~~TO: You never know about some folks.~~~
TO_Rowe says:
~~~FCO: Got a killer headache now too....~~~
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::he checks the graviton inverter circuits::

CSO_Singh says:
Quietly:: CTO: It doesn't seem quite right... everybody did their part, too.  ::Looks down at the medal in his hand::  I guess I didn't think about something like this.

Host XO_Savar says:
::Graciously accepts the box and nods to those who offer congratulations::

::Hiccups:: CO:  Why thank you Capt.
CTO_Jarot says:
::smiles as he puts the award back in Harmony's hands, closing her hands around medal::  CSO: Maybe, but you did an exceptional job out there... you should treasure it....

::knows what he'd like to do for Starfleet Intelligence::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@*Lt Glover*: How are the repairs progressing?
Host Lt_Richards says:
All:  Unfortunately, our time here is not done...  I've been assigned to you lot as your SFI liaison.  Save your applause...  Now, everyone here is confined to ship.  If you don't believe me...  ::tosses out some PADDs::  The order is here.  Signed by Admiral Xavier herself.
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Thank you... I will.  ::Mischief::  I don't suppose Brian has one of these?

::can't help but wonder if Richards is scared of sharp shiny things::
FCO_Hanover says:
::stands up straight:: ALL: Confined! I have family to see to!
OPS_Owens says:
::picks up his PADD reluctantly::
CSO_Singh says:
::Hearing Ana, realizes what the Lt, just said::
Host CO_Harm says:
::Makes a mental note to have a long talk with some Admirals he knows in SFI::
Host Lt_Richards says:
All:  Three weeks ago as you guys were adventuring across the dimensions, three children of SFI Officers were abducted... Who they are, that is not your concern.   The kidnappers insisted on a Vulcan diplomat to negotiate their release.
EO_Mindz says:
::picks up the PADD::
OPS_Owens says:
::hopes Cammie will be ok while he's away::
TO_Rowe says:
::picks up his PADD::
FCO_Hanover says:
::refuses to pick up a PADD wanting answers::
Host Lt_Richards says:
All:  T'Rin went in as that negotiator and you can guess it, it was a setup.  The faction took T'Rin as a hostage also.
OPS_Owens says:
::listens to the SFI Operative while he carefully reads the PADD::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CSO: Good....  ::thinks for a moment::  I believe he has two....so you're catching up with him... ::grins::  he'll be darn proud...  ::sits Harmony down on the seat next to him::
Host CO_Harm says:
::Mutters:: Self: Not very intelligent of the Intelligence Dept.
Host XO_Savar says:
::T'Rin captured...::
Cmdr_Ricen says:
@::pulls out some tools he'll need to finish the job::
Host Lt_Richards says:
::Pulls out a box....:: All Two days ago, this arrived from Earth.  SFI received it about one week ago.  ::Shoves the box in front of his favorite person - Owens::  OPS:  Take a look.
TO_Rowe says:
::stands:: Richard/CO/XO: We are going to be dealing with a hostage situation in this!?!?!
FCO_Hanover says:
Richards: I want an answer......many of us have families to see to!
OPS_Owens says:
::flashes a glare at Richards then opens the box::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks over at Owens curiously::
Host Lt_Richards says:
FCO:  SFI will look after your families.
Host CO_Harm says:
::Motions for the TO to sit down:: Lt.: Please continue
FCO_Hanover says:
Richars: That's a joke.....why can't we see our families?
CEO_To`Mach says:
::steps up to Richards:: Lt: You best be truthful with this crew.
TO_Rowe says:
::sits down VERY reluctantly::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at Richards::  Self: Oh sheesh....SFI will take care of them.....THAT'S a big comfort...
Host Lt_Richards says:
FCO:  No its not a joke...  Nobody and I mean nobody can know you’re involved.
CSO_Singh says:
::quietly, still watching Owens::  CTO:  Thanks Alec...
FCO_Hanover says:
Richards: I want to see the Admiral....
OPS_Owens says:
::after it opens he takes a look inside::
CEO_To`Mach says:
::holds up a PADD right in front of Richards face:: LT: Do I make myself clear?

ACTION:  As Owens opens the box he looks in.  Shock comes over his face as he stares down at the bloody arm encased in the box.
