Captain's Log 10303.29: 
I have called a departmental meeting while we are on our way back to the last known coordinates of Commander O'Guinn's body.  The goal is to come up with a way to retrieve the body and somehow switch the consciousness of the two.  This may prove the more difficult of the two.  I look forward to hearing what the crew has to say...

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::sits at the table looking over a report::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Finishing her last rounds in the sickbay, Anita heads up to the bridge.  Standing in the TL she checks over her appearance.  The tight black leather pants, and black leather vest don't leave much to the imagination.  Her black hair has been streaked with fire engine red highlights that match her nails.  Thigh high boots with buckles <Cont>

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::in his ready room gathering several padds for the meeting in the conference room::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Sitting in the briefing room, looking around at the others::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::In the briefing room, talking to the CEO::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::lounges on the bridge:: P_FCO: Do you have them in sight?

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::enters the conference room, bringing in a bundle of padds containing reports of recent experiments::

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: sitting at the table with the other senior staff members going over a padd ::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Going up the side complete the look.  Sighing she leans against the back of the TL.  Unconsciously she runs a finger over the 3-inch scar that adorns her face.::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::sitting in the briefing room, waiting for the meeting to start.::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Snacking on a bagel::

P_FCO Says:
@P_CO: Aye, sir... never off sensors. You have orders?

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::sets the PADD down looks around the briefing room::

TO_Merfolk says:
::in the observation lounge, glancing at the starts a few times as he continuously observes the senior staff's behaviour::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Brushes crumbs off his PADD:: CEO: So If we transfer power from the Holosuites to the shields, we should be able to boost their efficiency by 10%....

Lewis says:
@::stands behind Captain Milhouse drumming his fingers on the back of his chair trying to brush off the boredom::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands up taking the padds with him and leaves his ready room and enters the briefing room::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
ALL: Captain on Deck!

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::stands up::

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: stands up at attention ::

TO_Merfolk says:
::hears the XO and comes to attention::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::stands::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Stands from his seat::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Stands and snaps to::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Stands up and drops one of the padds in the process::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Stands::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
ALL: As you were...  ::turns to the XO:: XO: Commander O'Guinn is everyone here?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Feeling the TL stop, the doors open and she stops onto the bridge.  She looks around for Milhorse, Chuckles at the name, tosses the padd he wanted at him, narrowly missing his head.::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Sits gain, paying attention to the Captain. ::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::sits back down.::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::turns looking very annoyed:: Lewis: Do you HAVE to do that?

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Yes sir. ::sits back down::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Nods, then takes his seat again::

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: sits back down ::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Sees his bagel drop onto his padd:: Self: Great....

Scenery:  From the CSO's pocket, a tiny black nose with whiskers can be seen.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::ducks the flying PADD:: CMO: Are you trying to kill me? Or did you miss on purpose?

Lewis says:
@::stops the drumming and grabs Milhouse by the collar:: P_CO: Wanna make something of it! ::glares at the Captain coldly::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Very well  ::sits in his chair as he looks at the crew on either side of him:: We'll start with Tactical.  Lieutenant Jackson what have you got for us?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Smiles and blows a kiss.::  P_CO:  What do you think dear...  ::Her spine goes cold when Lewis speaks, she should just gut him and get it over with.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::sits quietly listening::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::rolls his eyes:: Lewis: Just because you have a nice male body, there is NO need to threaten me. Get your hormones under control. ::tugs at his collar::

TO_Merfolk says:
::sees the CO take his seat and does the same he glances at the operational status PADD in front of him::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Whispers to OPS:: OPS: Make it so but make sure I get full power when I use the holodeck..

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Notices his hamster in his pocket:: Patrick (His hamster not the XO): Shhh, you'll get me in trouble!

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Not whispering:: CEO: Oh no, Sir.  When I divert power, it stays diverted.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::smiles at Anita:: CMO: You missed on purpose. ::the smile is slightly marred by a look of pain::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Looks at OPS:: OPS: We'll discuss this further, Lieutenant.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Stands back up, taking his PADD on the way, and walks towards the captain:: ALL: Thank you sir. I’ll keep this brief. I haven’t finished my research yet, I’m sorry. But for what we have at the moment, we should be able to disable the vessel temporarily when we target it at the correct places at the right time. More details will follow soon.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CEO: Certainly we will.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Hands the PADD to the captain, then takes his seat again::

Patrick_the_Hamster Says:
::Twitching his nose, he climbs back into the pocket and nibbles on the crumb at the bottom of it.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::takes the Padd from the CTO:: CTO: Very well...keep us informed

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Goes and takes a seat beside the Capt.  Sitting she crosses her legs her delicate high healed boot swinging.::  P_CO:  But of course.  Now if you just let me make you comfortable ::Runs some fingers up his chest.::  This job would just be almost bearable. ::Winks::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Wonders why the CSO's uniform seems to be moving of its own volition::

Lewis says:
@::spots the CMO and smiles broadly:: CMO: Hey there, you new here? ::sidles over and rubs her arm::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Simply nods, then turns to watch his fellow officers::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::glares at Lewis:: Lewis: Hands off... or she'll cut them off for you.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Chief, engineering’s next but before I let you speak.  I have a number of complaints here about Engineering I was hoping you could explain

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Grabs his bagel and plops it back onto his plate, then looks at the CO:: CO: Complaints?  This is the first I heard of this.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Smiles up at Lewis, but sees Patrick’s face and thinks Shannon would kill him if she knew.::  Lewis:  Yes, I'm the new doctor...  ::Takes his fingers in her hand and snaps one back.::  If you ever touch me again without my permission, I'll break your kneecaps.  ::Continues to smile.::

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: sits reading the padd while listening to what is going on around the briefing room ::

TO_Merfolk says:
::nods at the CTO's comment as he continues to listen to the CEO::

Lewis says:
@::ignores the Captain and continues to smile at Anita:: CMO: Well gorgeous, what's a babe like you doing on a tub like this?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CEO: What I have hear is a dozen or more complaints on both Engineering and its CEO from all over this ship.  I am even getting heat from Admiralty.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@Lewis:  Looking for some action of course.   Are you a man of action Lewis?  I'm Sandra by the way.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::chuckles as Anita puts Lewis through some pain:: CMO: Now I remember why I signed you up.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@P_CO:  For my good looks of course.  ::chuckles::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::looks at the padd:: CEO: Would you like to hear the complaints?

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::laughs loudly:: CMO: Sandra, Sandra, Sandra... that and your sense of humour of course.

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Yes sir.

Lewis says:
@::leans on the CMO's chair:: CMO: You want action doc, I can provide plenty. Now, Sandra, let's say we make plans to "talk" about your future a little later, huh? ::grins evilly::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CEO: The first complaint I have is the overwhelming support to the command staff of the Nighthawk.  Secondly the volunteering for administrative duties.  And most importantly...the saving of the USS Nighthawk from destruction by resealing the anti-matter valve

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CEO: I'm afraid I have no other choice but to promote you to Lieutenant Commander effective immediately

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Leans over and whispers in his ear.  She cut her vest strategically.::  Lewis:  And What do you have in mind..... hmmmm for my future?

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Smiles:: CO: Thank you sir!

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::smiles:: CEO: Congratulations Commander!  ::stands up and holds out his hand::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::grins:: CEO: Congratulations Commander.

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Goes and shakes the CO's hand:: CO Thank you sir

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::gets bored and does something else:: P_FCO: Time to play. Swoop in and fire a shot across their bow... then run.

Lewis says:
@::his eyes look down at Anita's ample assets and smiles:: CMO: I can do a lot for a lady of your.....let's say your abilities.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::takes out the extra black pip from his pocket and hands it to him::

TO_Merfolk says:
::quietly leaves the observation lounge as he realises he's scheduled for Tac 1 and steps onto the bridge and takes Tac 1, nodding at the bridge crew as he enters::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Now about those complaints captain.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::sits quietly thinking::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::smiles:: Lewis:  Well maybe I'll just have to come by.......

P_FCO Says:
@P_CO: Aye, sir. ::taps in a sequence and the ship moves in on its target::

Lewis says:
@::licks his lips hungrily:: CMO: Now you do that doc.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::laughs::  CEO: Had to find some way to surprise you...

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis / CMO: Ok, stop playing, we have work.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: Take tactical... I know you want to do some damage.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::pouts:: P_CO:  But I have no more vict.......errr I should say patients at the moment.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
ALL: Ok...let's get back to work!  What have you got for us Chief?

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@CMO: I thought you wanted to see some 'action'?

Lewis says:
@::turns back to the Captain:: P_CO: Oh you can sure spoil a moment. ::moves to tactical after winking over at Anita::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Sits back straight in her chair.::  P_CO:  I do.... I do.....  Get me some action of most gracious Capt.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::smiles evilly:: Lewis: Of course.

TO_Merfolk says:
::glances at his sensor readings and frowns as he taps his commbadge::  *XO*: Merfolk to O'Guinn, Commander, we've got a pirate ship just entering our sensor range... recommend we go to yellow alert....

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: Fire when ready... make it a lot.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Waves her fingers.::  Lewis:  Toodles Handsome.

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Slouches:: CO: Oh ok...  The warp core has been at 90%.  We haven't stopped for a diagnostic for a while... ::Hears the comm::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@CMO: One plate of lots of action coming up.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Settles back into her chair.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*TO*: Take us to yellow alert Mr. Merfolk.

Lewis says:
@::checks the coordinates on the tactical display:: P_CO: This will be a treat indeed. Firing! ::hits the button::

ACTION:  A shudder rocks the Nighthawk.

TO_Merfolk says:
*XO*: Aye, Sir...

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::feels the Hawk rock::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::shakes a bit as the hawk rocks::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: My pleasure... ironic wouldn't you say? The body of their XO firing on their ship.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::feels the shudder::  ALL: We'll continue this later...everyone man their posts

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: feels the ship rumble ::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CO*: Sir we have compa... ::grabs the table::

Lewis says:
@::fires again and again, enjoying the exhilaration of the moment::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::shakes with his chair as the 'hawk rocks.::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Lurches forward and just manages to keep Patrick from falling out of his pocket::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Giggles:: P_CO:  That is soooooo priceless.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Gets up from his seat and walks out of the briefing room::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::chuckles:: CMO: I thought you would think that. P_FCO: Now turn tail and run.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::stands up quickly running out on the bridge:: TO: Have you acquired a lock?

Lewis says:
@P_CO: The fools have no idea.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Enters the bridge at a run::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Stands and runs to the bridge.::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Goes and grabs his bagel then runs to the bridge::

TO_Merfolk says:
::quickly checks the shields status and arms all weapons as he moves over to Tac 2, to make place for the CTO::  CTO: Lieutenant...we've got a pirate ship coming...

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::leaves the briefing room and enters the bridge:: TO: Report?

P_FCO Says:
@P_CO: Aye, sir. ::turns the Dreadful Bride and heads off for the nearest planetary system::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Runs to the helm and relieves the beta FCO.::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
Computer: Divert all power from non-critical systems to the shields.

TO_Merfolk says:
::nods::  XO: Aye, Commander....

ACTION:  The ship shudders with fire, but other then draining the shields, there is nominal damage.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Stands up and runs to the bridge. He stumbles over to the science station and sits down::

Lewis says:
@::looks over at the CMO::CMO: This one is for you my dear. ::fires again::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Enters the bridge and walks to his station:: TO: Understood, I’ll take it from here.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: Ok, enough. We still want to play some more.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Suggest we fire for weapons and life support.

ACTION:  From the CEO's bagel, a black nose and whisker can barely be seen at one end, and a tail at the other.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Lieutenant hail the ship.  I'm willing to let this go if they disengage now

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::sits at the helm and takes evasive actions.::

TO_Merfolk says:
::looks at the CO::  CO: Captain, sensors detected a pirate vessel coming into our sensor range... it quickly approached and opened fire on us... so far minimal damage to our systems...

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Sir, they are moving away at high warp.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@Lewis:  My handsome knight.  You know I've been reading all the medical files and your experiment fascinates me to no end.  ::Turns in her chair and smiles, eyes bright.:: Tell me, what did you do with your body?  Some sort of stasis... or did you decide you won't need it anymore since you can have any body you so choose?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Takes his station and prepares weapons:: CO: All weapons online, ready for you mark.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::gives the CO a questioning look::

TO_Merfolk says:
::nods at the CTO as he takes shield control and internal sensor for his account on Tac 2::  CO: Shields are up and holding... ::glances at the CTO::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Probably a scout ship

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Opens his mouth to put the bagel in, then pauses:: Computer: transfer engineering command to the bridge.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks to console:: CTO: Send me the data on that ship.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
COM: Dreadful Bride: Break off your attack, or we will return fire.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: runs on to the bridge ::  CO :  where would you like me?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Presses some buttons:: XO: Transmitting data, sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Where are they heading?

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@COM: Nighthawk: Captain! We meet again! Want your crewman's body back? Then come and get it. Oh, and I don't think you will return fire... that body over there is too important.

Lewis says:
@::stops firing and walks back to the CMO::CMO: Now my dear, I don't know you well enough yet to disclose my secrets, but perhaps in time...::voice trails off and he just smiles his eyes looking at the CMO's "uniform" again::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CO:  I can follow the pirates' trail easily, sir.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Shifts a bit to give Lewis the full view.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::glances over the data of the ship:: CO: I definitely suggest we take out their weapons sir.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Turns and looks at the screen.::

Lewis says:
@::sighs deeply:: Self: What a woman!

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Continues to scan the vessel for weak spots::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: They are heading for the Factoria System Sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Set a course, follow them

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Sees the nose and tail in the bagel and his eyes open wide:: CEO: Don't eat that bagel! ::Quickly snatches the bagel away and reveals the rodent inside::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO: Lock onto their weapons array take it out the first chance you get

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Keys in some other commands:: CO: Aye sir, targeting.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@P_FCO: Are we there yet?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::matches course with the pirates.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Tries to determine which body is Patrick’s on the Nighthawk, stands up.::  COM:NH:  Oh please let me see what this poor sole looks like.  I'm very fascinated in the outcome of this little experiment.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Sets his console to display the power systems at all times - preparing the ship for combat::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sits down in his chair:: CSO: Ensign have long range sensors going on maximum...I want to know how many ships they’ve got

Lewis says:
@P_CO: Well Captain, what's next?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
CO, FCO: Sir, still out of range. How fast can we get closer?

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO: Ensign, Your pets are supposed to be in your quarters!

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: Cat and mouse... with several cats and one mouse.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CO:  They're heading towards...  the Paulson nebula.

ACTION:  The hamster, with a chunk of bagel in its mouth, runs up the CSO's arm and into his pocket.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Take out the propulsion system sir?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@P_CO:  I'd like to tease the new body of that person on that ship.  I'm very fascinated.  If they would just only respond.  ::Thinks, come Patrick, which one are you.::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Brings his attention back to his console:: CO: Yes sir.

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Mumbles:: CIV: Ensign, Take a seat with Ensign Spencer.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@CMO: By all means, my dear... tease the woman.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::hears the XO's suggestion:: CTO: Do it...knock out their warp capabilities

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@P_FCO: If they knock us from warp before we're at our destination... you'll get out and push!

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::moves over stands behind the captain::

TO_Merfolk says:
::keeps monitoring the shield status and internal sensor readouts::

Lewis says:
@P_CO: I like your analogy Milhouse, but I think we need to sharpen our claws a little more, don't you think? ::smiles::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Watches his readings:: CO: Coming within range in 5, 4, 3...

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Comes up with an Idea.:; COM: Nighthawk.:  I'd very much like to see your XO.  I'm wonder if the degradation has begun.....

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: Ok, drop a couple of torps in their path.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::waits until they are in range:: CTO: Fire at will

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::On hearing the COM, takes out a tricorder and scans the XO::  Self: Odd.  I read no signs of degradation.

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Sits at Engineering, looking at his console::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Pouts:: P_CO:  They won't play with me.

Lewis says:
@::salutes the Captain and returns to tactical and prepares to fire:: P_CO: Here we go. A little reminder. ::fires a full spread of torpedoes at the Nighthawk::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@CMO: Oh, you're not looking... see that guy scanning the woman?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
CO: ...2, 1, within range now, firing phasers and torpedoes, full spread. ::Presses some keys::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
COM: Dreadful Bride: I read no signs of degradation in the body of our XO.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
Self: They're playing mind games with us!

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CO : Sir, I have a suggestion

ACTION:  Phaser fire slides along the shields of the pirate ship.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@P_FCO: Drop from warp and get into that nebula.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@COM: Nighthawk:  Mr or should I say.... Mrs XO.   I knew a Shamus that looks just like you...  There was a baby from Ireland...

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CIV: What it is Ensign?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Runs the image of the woman on the Dreadful bride through the database::

ACTION:  The Nighthawk sees a full spread of Torps heading at them.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO: Again Lieutenant

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Chuckles:: P_CO:  Not a very nice looking woman....  Certainly not in the same calibre as me...

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::takes evasive actions to evade the torpedoes.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Evasives...

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::looks at the view screen eyes going wide::

P_FCO Says:
@P_CO: Aye, sir. ::hits the console, and the Bride drops from warp just outside the nebula. She enters at impulse.::

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: thinks :: Sir, if we launch the Chameleon and hide it in the wake of the hawk

TO_Merfolk says:
::blinks as he sees the little red spots approaching them::  All: In coming...

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::is glad the Nighthawk is a manoeuvrable ship::

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
self: Yiee!  ::Hangs on::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CO:  Aye...

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::smiles:: CMO: Yeah, and the man in that body is even worse.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Presses another sequence of buttons:: CO: Firing full spread.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CO :  after we launch we get the hawk close enough to the pirate ship that the chameleon can get underneath it and beam the XO's body

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Turns around:: CO: That is a good idea.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@P_CO:  Hmmmmm maybe...  ::Looks at Lewis::  He does have some redeeming qualities though.  Rippling muscles.  I suspect a washboard tummy.  Quite the turn-on you know.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CIV: I'm afraid we don't have time to assemble an away team ensign...besides the Nighthawk's weapons systems far outweigh those on the Chameleon

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::raises an eyebrow at Anita:: CMO: Sandra... you do astound me... just the physical?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Mutes the communications channel:: CO, XO: Would you mind coming over here Sirs?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@P_CO:  Oh honey... the physical as a lot to offer.  ::Winks.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks over to the operations console:: OPS: Yes Mr. Lessing?

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Suddenly, the CSO feels an idea coming to him, or else it's Patrick nibbling at his legs:: CO: Sir, I think I may be able to expand on the Ensign Istari's idea.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns to the OPS and listens::

Lewis says:
@::sees the CMO looking him over and winks in return::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Gestures to the Console, displaying his database search results:: CO, XO: It seems we may have an ally in that ship.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: thinks to him self ::  CO :  all we need to do is have two or three people we do not need use the weapons system

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Oh?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CIV/CSO: We would have to get the shields down in order for a transport?  Can you think of a way to get their shields down without weapons?

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO/CIV: We just need to bring down the shields of the Pirate ship... or recalibrate the transporter frequency to match it of the shields.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::looks at the readings:: All: Ok, we're inside the nebula. The fun is about to start.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: What have you got Lieutenant?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO, CO: That or a renegade Starfleet officer.  You have a higher security clearance than I do.  Could you find out what Dr. Santiago is assigned to at the moment.  :: shows the CO the database results again::

ACTION:  The pirate vessel flickers off and on sensors.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Sighs:: P_CO/Lewis:  You two promised me some action.  I can go and below and experiment.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@CMO: Patience is a virtue my dear... half the fun is setting up the action.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CIV: Ensign, what do you know about sensor manipulation?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Full stop...

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CO :  All I need to do is have the XO, OPS, and myself or CSO and I can get the pirate ships shields down and make the switch of bodies

CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Stands behind the CSO:: CSO: Nebula Contents?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@P_CO:  Ahhhhh the foreplay before the battle...  ::ponders::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Santiago? What in the universe is she doing on that ship?!

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Stops the Nighthawk a few thousand kilometres from the nebula.::  CO:  Aye, all stop.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Contact Admiral Harlan she would know about anything like that in her sector

Lewis says:
@CMO: You get down there and wait for me little lady. I have a couple of things to discuss with the Captain first. ::bites his lip in anticipation::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
COM: Adm_Harlan: Nighthawk to Admiral Harlan, come in please.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@Lewis:   I'll wait up here for you if you don't mind.  I'm quite deaf you know.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CEO: Unknown, our sensors are scrambled at the moment.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CSO :  I do not know much

Lewis says:
@CMO: This does not concern you my dear. Man business if you get my drift?

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@CMO: Even if you were clinically deaf, I'd perforate your eardrums to make sure. This doesn't concern you.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Types out his request for information to Admiral Harlan::

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CSO : But what did you need to know

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CEO: Work with the CSO on finding a way to see into that nebula

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks over to his console, taps a series of commands pulling up Anita's files::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Runs scans on the nebula, trying to get a clear sensor reading on the pirate vessel again::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CO: Sir, I believe I have a way to find that ship in the nebula.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::pouts:: P_CO/Lewis:  Well fine, I'll go.... just don't consider me easy tonight...  You will have to work for you treats.  ::Stands up and sashays off the bridge.::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: I am sending a request for information on her current posting to the Admiral Sir, but it may take some time to get a response.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Class 1 probe?  I think there are Quantum Casings still in storage.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::sighs:: Lewis: She'll be the ruin of the both of us.

ACTION:  The files come up.  However, at the end of the files, her new assignment is listed as classified.

Lewis says:
@::slaps the CMO on the rear as she leaves:: Self: Ooooo, she's mine!

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Understood...

Lewis says:
@P_CO: Indeed Captain, indeed.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@P_FCO: Get us into position.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CEO: They would be too inaccurate, by the time they get a clear reading the ship would have moved again.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Back in the TL she resists the urge to retch.  Besides she had a bigger problem.  Who was this Petalolick and where is Lewis's body so she can do the transfer.. She has been studying the specs closely and she is afraid she won't be able to do the switch.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sir, I don't know what Lt Santiago is doing on that ship but her assignment has been classified.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: The Chameleon?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Reroutes the extra power from shields to sensors.  Shields will function perfectly with their normal power allotment::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::moves closer to the CEO and CSO::  CEO/CSO: What about a series of probes to relay the information?

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CEO: Well yes, and no.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: So, what's so important?

Lewis says:
@P_CO: Now Captain, what is the plan? I want to make sure that the Nighthawk and crew remember this little incident.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CSO, CO, CTO: I have routed extra power from non-critical systems to the sensors.  Try scanning now please?

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: But I think the Cloak won't be that efficient.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Classified...can we assume she is under-cover for Starfleet Intel?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Sees another sensor reading:: CO: Sir, I had an energy reading for a moment. I might be able to extrapolate an estimated course.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: I told you... several cats and one mouse. We want that ship and I'll do anything to get it.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::tired of waiting, scans the nebula to pass the time.::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CEO, CO: Probes would have little effect in a nebula such as this one. However, if the ship fires, it will be easier to find.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
XO, CO: I have a message from Admiral Harlan Sirs.  She says: "As soon as you get your doctor aboard, give her mine and your thank you."

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: That very well could be. SFI has been trying to get the hands on John Lewis for quite a while.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Exiting the TL she storms into the pitiful excuse of a sickbay.  She snarls at her helps and they scurry off. She fingers her met'leth to make sure they get the hint.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: I know what you mean.  Lure into a trap.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Thank you lieutenant.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: What is the nebula made up?

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CEO, CO: So, if we get the pirate ship to fire, then we will be able to pinpoint its location. So what we need is a decoy.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::listens for anything combustible::

Lewis says:
@P_CO: Milhouse, why bother with a little Saber class ship? I just want them to remember who has the power and control here.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@Lewis: You know that ship has something we want, and I intend to get it. I'm not interested in your petty displays of power.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Sees another energy reading:: CO: Sir, I have another reading. Extrapolating course.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::frowns.::  CO:  Sir, don't know if this could help, but there seems to be a clearing in the nebula ahead.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks back to the CO:: CO: Sir I believe I have an idea that might work.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: approaches the CEO and whispers :: CEO: What is your idea about the chameleon?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Go ahead...  ::formulating an idea as well::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CO: The usual energy particles found in a nebula. CEO, CO: So I was thinking, if we got the Chameleon to emit life signs and a strong reading, they would fire on it.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Wishes she were a computer wizz.  She could tap into the NH's computer and see if Intel has any idea of who this Petalolick is.::

Lewis says:
@::grabs Milhouse again:: P_CO: Remember who you are dealing with here Captain. I can inflict such pain as you have never known. ::ruffs him up and then releases him::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CIV: Oh Just using her as a decoy and luring the pirate ship out.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
All: With respect, I would not recommend using the Chameleon, Sirs.  A normal shuttlecraft would suffice....

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: A boarding party for one, if Dr. Santiago is on that ship she will be able to help once we get to her.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CEO :  I suggest we use it the opposite way

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Slightly disappointed:: All: That's true, a shuttlecraft WOULD suffice, but it would probably get destroyed.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: I was thinking the same thing...but we still need a way to get aboard any suggestions?

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::is getting tired of the man handling:: Lewis: Then why is it that I am the Captain every time? Not good enough to be one? I feel like throwing you in the brig until I have that ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
OPS: I agree with you but it is a suicide mission, with the Shuttle's shielding.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CEO : I say we use the Nighthawk and get the Chameleon close enough to get the shield frequency and beam the body out

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sir if the Nighthawk could create a distraction, we could get a shuttle close enough to get aboard the ship.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Very well...assemble an away team

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CEO, CIV: Better to lose a shuttlecraft than to lose the Chameleon.  We could put extra shield generators aboard.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Checks sensors:: CO: Sir. We are..... Surrounded! ::Sighs::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CIV: Hmm.. That might work.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
CO :  I request to be on the Away Team

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::mutters under his breath:: Self: Where are they? It doesn't take THAT long to follow a ship.

Lewis says:
@::glares at Milhouse:: P_CO: You are the Captain because it suits me at the moment. Now, I have an appointment with a very hot lady down below. ::walks to the turbolift and scowls back at Milhouse::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CEO/TO/CSO/FCO: You’re with me.

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::yells after Lewis:: Lewis: I hope she cuts off all the dangly bits!

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Checks his sensors once again:: CO: There are three ships, outgunning us about 1 to 3.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CIV: That is up to the XO

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
XO : may I join the Away Team

TO_Merfolk says:
::hears the XO and nods at him as logs of his station::  XO: Aye, Commander...

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO: Get ready to do some fancy shooting

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
XO:  Aye.  ::stands and calls the beta FCO back.::  Where to, Commander?

Lewis says:
@::heads to sickbay chomping at the bit to get his hands on Anita::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Sighs again:: CO: Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CIV: Granted ::turns heading for the TL::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Makes preparations::

beta FCO says:
::arrives on the bridge in record time and takes the helm.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
XO: Aye.

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
:: follows the XO to the TL ::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Prepares some ´fancy shooting´ procedures::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Walks over to the TL and enters::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Follows the XO to the TL.::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::looks at the beta FCO and sighs::

TO_Merfolk says:
::enters the TL with the XO and waits patiently::

ACTION:  Milhouse's two friends inform him they are in position surrounding the Nighthawk.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Just hopes the fancy shooting doesn't tear the ship apart::

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@::chuckles as he reads the comm:: Self: Show time!

Lewis says:
@::enters sickbay and looks around for the CMO::CMO: Where are you hon?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO: Take us to red alert...once the Chameleon has left the shuttle bay were going to engage

P_CO_Milhouse says:
@*Lewis / CMO*: Uhm... you two might want to come back up here. The show is about to start, and all that jazz.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Sighs at the overuse of the Chameleon::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
:;enters the TL:: Computer: Shuttle Bay 2.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Takes a deep breath and walks out.:: Lewis:  I'm right here baby...  ::Goes over and jumps into his arms wrapping her arms and legs around him and kisses him deeply.::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
XO: Let's go and get your body back.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::takes place in the TL, with the rest of the team.::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CSO: That is the plan. Not to mention I have some pay back to take care of.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Readies the attack patterns:: CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
@::Slowly drawing her arm down his back she reaches into her boot and pulls out a hypo.  Continuing to kiss him she presses the hypo against his neck.  She waits for the sedative to take effect.::

Lewis says:
@::hears the comm::*P_CO*:I'm busy at the moment.

ACTION:  Lewis finds himself sound asleep.

TO_Merfolk says:
XO: Commander, I recommend heavy security equipment for the away team... since we probably have to expect considerable resistance...

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
TO: Agreed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Grabs a donut from the bin and munches on it as he hops onto the TL::

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
XO :  we may not need to use force we may not even need to board the ship

Civ_Ens_Istari says:
XO :  I believe I can get the body off with out having to board

ACTION:  The Nighthawk comes to a halt, surrounded by three ships, inside a nebula.
