Episode 158: "The Loreridians, Part 5: Gamma Shift": Diplomatic duty is not going the way it is suppose to aboard the Luna.  The Loreridians are more childlike then the intelligence reports led them to believe.  Thank heavens for holodeck technology for the Loreridians but not for the Luna crew.  Some are actually sick of Disney Land.  What remains now is to get to Starbase 917.  The Admiral is going to want answers.  As a matter of fact she has bugged every shift to get some.  Who are the Aliens?  What did they want?  Who murdered the Loreridian Envoy?  She did send an interesting piece of information though.  The USS Rothchild reported a murder in the early hours of 10502.06 - internal organs gone including brain and eyes.  Gamma shift has rolled around and now the Luna gently flies towards SB 917.

CO_Savar says:
::Working in his Ready Room on several reports - Engineer's recent round of testing on their warp core being at the top of his pile::
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@::Looking frazzled Xavier comms the Luna once more.::  COM: Luna: This is Admiral Xavier please come in.
OPS_Qui says:
:: Smiles ::   Sanchez: Get outta here before I change my mind...   :: Winks at Robert ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Sighs::  XO:  I am sorry ma'am.  I will work harder on getting that straight.  It still slips in every now and then.
OPS_Qui says:
:: Sits and hears the comm ::   COM: Adm: This is the Luna Admiral.  How may I direct your call?
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Laughs and leaves the bridge ::
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@::Very grumpy since she was woken up from a great dream.::  COM: OPS: Find me the Captain please unless he is still lazing about.. or how about the person in charge of the Bridge.  Hey maybe you and I can chat... how about that? ::Is very cranky.::
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@COM: OPS: Just don't give me the run around again.  ::Rubs her temples::
OPS_Qui says:
COM: Adm: Whatever you wish, Admiral.  In what order would you like that?   :: mutes the channel and turns to the CSO and XO ::
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Ma'am?  Anything I should know about?  :: Listening to the cranky admiral, glad she wants the captain.::
OPS_Qui says:
XO/CSO: Ma'am's...Admiral Xavier is on the horn...and she doesn't sound too chipper at the moment.  She's still trying to decide who to speak with.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Well, lets patch that call to the CO
XO_Horn says:
CSO: Everything is running normally. Nothing of importance to report
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@::Taps on her console trying to get Qui's attention.::
XO_Horn says:
CSO: You have the bridge. :: whispers :: I hate to be the CO right now.
OPS_Qui says:
XO: Aye ma'am.   :: Turns back around and unmutes the channel ::   COM: Adm: I'm sending you to the Captain, ma'am.  A moment please.
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@COM: OPS: Ahhh good he is up from his beauty rest.
OPS_Qui says:
*CO*: Qui to Captain Savar.  I have Admiral Xavier on the horn for you sir
OPS_Qui says:
:: Snickers lightly at the Admiral's comment ::
CO_Savar says:
*OPS*: Patch her through.
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@COM: OPS: Oh Qui, we need to speak about Gopher.  As soon as you have a moment when I'm finished with the Captain we will talk.  See you then.
OPS_Qui says:
*CO*: Aye sir... :: Hears the Admiral and pauses ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Agreeing with the first officer, turns to Silver handing her a report.::
OPS_Qui says:
COM: Adm: Of course, Admiral...patching you throught to the Captain now.   :: Fingers fly over her console and she sends the Admiral to the CO ::
CO_Savar says:
::Turns on his desk monitor::  COM: ADM: Admiral Xavier.
XO_Horn says:
:: Walking around the bridge, letting the CSO take charge ::
OPS_Qui says:
:: Takes a deep breath and checks on the status of Gopher.  Sees he's still in the brig and sighs ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks over at Kehari::  OPS:  Hmmm... something I need to deal with still.  Have you spoken with him lately?
OPS_Qui says:
CSO: No ma'am...I was called into counselor Sands' office.
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@::Glares at Savar::  COM: CO: Good middle of the night to you Savar... and I say middle of the night because it's 0200hrs and I was woken by whinny communication traffic from your ship.  What the heck are you running there.. A pleasure cruise ship?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Glances over at the first officer and clears her voice slightly::  XO:  Ma'am, have you met with Lieutenant Gopher yet?
CO_Savar says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  COM: Adm: I am not intimately familiar with the communications traffic that leaves this vessel.  Perhaps you could provide more details?
XO_Horn says:
CSO: I have not had the pleasure yet, but I have read the reports concerning him. He seems to be an interesting fellow, with certain talents that could be useful if properly applied.
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@COM: CO: Maybe you should be.. My good for nothing nephew called saying his rights are being abused because YOUR staff left him in the brig for over a week.  No console has been given.. no lawyer and no formal charges.  Also Rowpart of the Loreridian delegation is a bit miffed right now because she still hasn't received the autopsy reports on the ambassador and they ant to hold a funeral.  Not only that they still haven't been introduced to you.  This woman went on for hours Savar...
CSO_Singh says:
:: A bit wryly.::  XO: Oh, he is useful alright, for getting into mischief.  But he is good at his post when he is there.  Which is probably why he is still aboard.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan standing outside of Sickbay, contemplates whether or not to enter::
CO_Savar says:
COM: Adm: I shall rectify both of those situations immediately, Admiral.
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@::Still looking bewildered.::  COM: CO: Savar, are they as annoying in person?
XO_Horn says:
CSO: I guess we might have to re-assign him and put his talents to better use. What do you think?
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Reassign him to what department?
CO_Savar says:
COM: Adm: I have not personally interacted with them, Admiral.  I am recently returned to duty, and had not encountered them.
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@COM: CO: Shirking your duties Captain?  ::Raises an eyebrow.::
XO_Horn says:
CSO: I was thinking about re-assigning him to me. But, that is just a thought.
CO_Savar says:
COM: Adm: Hardly.  I was on medical disability.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan enters into the room, feeling like a pilgrim in an unholy land. Ewan looks around for the Doctor::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Nods with a heavy sigh::  XO:  I can do that.  If you will hold the bridge for a bit longer, I will... see to him.
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@;:Slowly shakes her head.::  COM: CO: You really need to start reading between the lines Savar and stop taking things literally.
XO_Horn says:
CSO: I am sure you can, but I thought I would run it by the Captain first, and get his take on the idea
CO_Savar says:
COM: Adm: Vulcans say what they mean, Admiral.  We do not need to learn to 'read between the lines'
XO_Horn says:
OPS: What do you think of the idea about re-assigning Mr. Gopher
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Then I will let you do that first before dealing with him.  Charges were leveled, but nothing has been done about it officially, other then letting him cool his heals.  As much as I would prefer him off the ship, that is not an option.  But neither can we keep him forever in the brig, where he deserves to be.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::with the help of one of the medical staff, Ewan lays on the biobed that he was led to::
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@COM: CO: Too early in the morning for a philosophical debate Savar.  Please stop the personal communications and take care of my nephew before I personally assign him to you as your yeoman.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Finally reads through the report she was given, half listening to the first officer, when a frown appears on her face.  Turns to the science officer.::  SO:  Was this all they gave you?
OPS_Qui says:
:: Tries not to smirk... ::   XO: Ma'am...he's a handful.  He hates me, defies me every chance he gets and frankly...if you want him...you can have him.
CO_Savar says:
COM: Adm: Understood, Admiral.
Nurse says:
CIV: You lay right here Captain until the Dr. can take a look at you
SO_Siliver says:
CSO: That is it so far.  They reported the incident the moment they discovered it and as it fits ours, was sent straight to us.
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Thanks.  Keep on top of it.  I am curious if anyone else has visually seen them or if it was just our luck.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: I remember when I was in school, when a boy liked a girl, he would make her life miserable. Maybe it is the same here. He might just like you, but has a hard time expressing his feelings. :: Smiles when she says this ::
SO_Siliver says:
:: With a nod, begins to search all factors that might be linked.::
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  Captain, if you have a moment.
OPS_Qui says:
:: Raises her left eyebrow ::   XO: If that's the case...shot me...shot me now, please
CO_Savar says:
*CSO*: One moment, Commander.  ::Looks at the Admiral::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at Kehari and coughs, preventing a laugh.::
OPS_Qui says:
:: Catches the CSO's cough and trying hard not to laugh herself, begins to cough as well ::
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Give it a try, it just might work out between you two. Next thing you know there will be little Gophers running around. :: continues to smile ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Can not prevent the loud groan.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::the nurse gives Ewan a hypo and he begins to feel drowsy::
Host ADM_Xavier says:
@COM: CO: Ok I'm going back to bed... Xavier out.
OPS_Qui says:
XO: Begging your pardon, ma'am...I've have enough "men" troubles...don't need another one
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Ma'am, I think I should be worried about your sense of humor.  :: hands her the updated report.::  You should see this.
CO_Savar says:
COM: Adm: Goodnight, Admiral.  ::Closes the communications channel and taps his commbadge::  *CSO*: Commander, shall we speak in private?
XO_Horn says:
:: Reads over the report that was handed her ::
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  There has been another murder similar to ours.
XO_Horn says:
CSO: This is interesting, did you pass this on to the Doctor?
CO_Savar says:
::Walks out of his ready room:: CSO: Where?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Nods to the report in the first officers hands.::  CO:  The USS Rothchild has reported a murder.  The internal organs were missing along with the brain and eyes.
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  We just received it ma'am.
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Similarities to the former incidents?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan falls a sleep soon after the medication takes effect and is in la-la-land::
CSO_Singh says:
CO: The same organs appear to be taken.  The Rothchild victim was human.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  As this just occurred, we are still gathering more information.
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Understood...
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant Qui...
XO_Horn says:
:: Listens intently to the CSO and CO’s conversation ::
OPS_Qui says:
:: Perks up upon hearing her name ::   CO: Yes sir?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Glances over at Silver who is busy at her task still, then turns back to her captain.::
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Access the communications logs lately.  The Admiral indicated that she received calls from Lieutenant Gopher as well as the Loreridians.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Frowns as Gopher should have been secure.::
OPS_Qui says:
CO: Aye sir...  :: Taps into the communications logs and quickly finds what the CO is looking for...sighs quietly to herself ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Quietly:: XO:  Do you want to talk with the captain and address Gopher, or shall I as I originally had him placed there... let me rephrase that.  He earned his place there, which I directed.
XO_Horn says:
CSO: Let’s keep him where he is at right now, I will talk to the Captain at a more appropriate time
CO_Savar says:
OPS: I'll take that as a yes.  Please see to it that communications from the Brig are ceased, as well as from the holodeck.
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Appropriate may be sooner here then we want.
OPS_Qui says:
CO: Aye sir...    :: Begins to terminate access to the communications grid for the brig and the holodeck... ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Takes a report from tactical and glances through it.::  XO:  You may have another task to deal with first.  :: Hands the report over.::  The natives are getting restless.
CO_Savar says:
XO/CSO: Commanders.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Turns back to the captain.::
XO_Horn says:
:: looks at the CO with a questioning look ::
CO_Savar says:
XO/CSO: I will be going to speak with the Loreridians, and then Lieutenant Gopher.  Please see to it that Lieutenant Commander Jarot is present when I reach Gopher.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Sir, before you speak with Gopher, Commander Horn has a suggestion.
XO_Horn says:
CO: With your permission, I would like to be present also when you talk to Mr. Gopher
CO_Savar says:
XO: First your suggestion, and then why you wish to be present.
XO_Horn says:
CO: I was thinking about re-assigning Mr. Gopher to another post.
XO_Horn says:
CO: I wanted to see him and talk to him before I suggested it. To make sure that he is the person I think he is
CO_Savar says:
XO: Very well.  I shall contact you when I am on my way to meet with him.
XO_Horn says:
CO: He seems that he has certain talents that could be useful
CSO_Singh says:
:: Glances over at Kehari::
XO_Horn says:
CO: Aye sir.
OPS_Qui says:
:: Glances backwards, then turns back around with a big smirk on her face ::
CO_Savar says:
XO: Very well.  Carry on, Commander.  ::Walks to the turbolift::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Shakes her head, glad for Kehari and hoping the first officer was up to Gopher.::
OPS_Qui says:
:: Feels as if a huge weight has been lifted from her shoulders and sits a little taller at her console ::
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  Current ETA to our Starbase?
CO_Savar says:
::A car arrives, and he steps in::  Computer: Holodeck.
FCO says:
CSO: ETA is 14 days 3 hours.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  If you find a little extra umph for the engines, without harm to the ship, I won't object.
FCO says:
:: Nods.::
XO_Horn says:
:: Walks around quietly, watching the crew work ::
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Ma'am... the report from security?
CO_Savar says:
::Arrives on the appropriate deck, and walks to the doors.  Before he opens the doors, he walks the computer console, and checks on the situation that is running currently.  He modifies the program slightly so that he can enter and exit undetected and without revealing the computer arch or the doors themselves::
FCO says:
:: Getting confirmation from engineering, increases the ships warp.::
XO_Horn says:
CSO: I believe the CO is handling that little issue himself
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Ahhh... :: Poor captain.::
FCO says:
CSO: New ETA is 12 days.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  Every minute is worth it.  Thank you.
