Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Captain’s Log Stardate 10305.10:  Some of the Nighthawk's replacements are arriving today, after they arrive I hope to depart with the Senior Staff as quickly as possible so we cannot be called back as easily.  It's time to find out what the Romulans are hiding from us...

Host Biishe says:

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::stands on the bridge:: CTO: Lt open ships comm.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::In the Science labs, organizing equipment to go on this mission::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::in the bay looking over the Chameleon::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::in the shuttle bay, leaning against the Chameleon, waiting for the rest of the senior staff.::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::On the bridge, working at his console. Hears the XO and opens the com:: XO: Com open.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::In sickbay giving last minute instructions to Dr Tran.:: Nicholas:  Ok, I want you to keep an eye on Merrill.  I'm not sure how he is taking the news that he is the suspected saboteur even with the evidence that we have that would clear him.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@TO:  Ready to join your new crew?

Nicholas says:
CMO:  No worries I have been.  He is a very nice man, easy to talk to.  At least he is not bottling everything up inside and that is a plus.  I'm sure between the two of us we will get Merrill back on his feet and back on the job.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::speaking aloud:: Well that's that...she is as ready as she is going to be.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
EO:  Told you so...

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO: What?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks out of the turbolift and walks onto the deck of shuttle bay 1::

Johnson says:
::Enters Science Lab 1, looking slightly shaken::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Nods at Nick:: Nicolas:  I hope so.  The only thing that is going to make him feel anyway near better is to find the saboteur.  Keep your eyes peeled.  Oh, how is the blood testing going?

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*ALL*: Attention all senior officers report to shuttle bay 2. I repeat all Senior officers report to Shuttle bay 2. ::nods to the CTO to close communications::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@::Glances over at the quiet Conner::   OPS:  Inform the Nighthawk we are about 5 minutes out.  And I would like to speak with their captain for a few minutes.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Closes the com-channel, then goes back to his internal scans::

Nicholas says:
CMO:  We are getting through the crew.  Most of the senior staff left to do... Since you are going to be traveling with them.  It's the perfect time for you to test them.  At least the Capt cleared.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
EO:  I said: I told you so  The Chameleon's always ready.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Sees Johnson:: Johnson: Ah, you've finally appeared. Where have you been?

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::shakes head:: FCO: And if we hadn't checked her out and something went wrong then we would be the first ones to get yelled at.

Cmdr_Kyle_Conner says:
@::stands as straight as possible with a quiet kind of presence around him, looking out of the window in the shuttle::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Hears the comm.:: Nicholas:  Aye.. hmmmm looks like I have to go.  You got sickbay.  Tessie should be back in about a couple hours.  Catch you on the flip side!  ::Picking up her med kit she waves and exits the sickbay.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Tapping her commbadge.:: *XO:  Cmdr I'm on my way.

Johnson says:
CSO: I'm sorry Sir, I've been ill. I heard you’d be away for a while, so I thought you might want me to take over.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
@Adm: Ready yes, liking it is something else.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
ACTION:  The Nighthawk receives the message of approach.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::sits down waiting for the replacements::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
EO:  Nothing would go wrong.  I check her out very often.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@::Raises an eyebrow::  TO:  Liking?  There is something to dislike?

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Slightly curious about Johnson's mood:: Johnson: Yes, that's right. I must say, if nothing else, you have impeccable timing. I'm leaving now.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands on the deck of shuttle bay 1 waiting for them to arrive::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Heads for the nearest TL, presses the button and the lift opens she steps inside.::  Computer:  Shuttle bay 2.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
FCO: I am sure you do but a cocky attitude like that signifying that you can do nothing wrong can often times lead to trouble. ::turns and walks to a nearby console::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@Conner:  Kyle, if you are ready... we will be docking as soon as we have permission.

Johnson says:
CSO: Well I'll be fine. I'll try to keep everything going while you're away.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
@Adm: going from a big room to a small dinky closet size room isn't a plus, sir

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::chuckles at the EO's snappy comment::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Feels the TL stop and she exits.  Makes her way to Shuttle bay 2 and enters.  Seeing the bay empty she waits.::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Looks at the blinking alert:: XO: We're receiving a message of approach.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::uploads the latest reports from her padd and makes a quick check with the babysitter that she is going to be fine keeping Allen for the period of time::

Cmdr_Kyle_Conner says:
@ ::turns around to face the Admiral:: Harlan: Aye Ma'am...I'll be ready

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@::Shakes her head at his youth::  TO:  Ens, there is so much more to a ship then her size.  ::Looks out the window at the growing ship on her screen, noting the Romulan vessels sitting across the border quietly::  I am rather proud of the Nighthawk.  She can do things many ships cannot.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::looks over spotting Nita and waves:: CMO: Hello.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Taking another look around she spots two people.:: EO/FCO:  Shannon!  Hey Lt Keown.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CTO: Grant permission shuttle bay 1.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
Johnson: That's fine. Just one thing. If you haven't already, report to sickbay for a checkup. If you have any problems, I've got a program in my office, which should help you out.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
@Adm: I know that, sir, still wondering how Chris will react, sir

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::walks over to Nita:: CMO: I sure hope both kids aren't going to be a problem...

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::nods at the doc, still grinning.::  CMO:  Hiya Doc.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Nods:: XO: Aye sir. ::Sends a reply message, advising the shuttle of their assigned shuttle bay::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Grinning she walks over to them.::  EO/FCO:  It's good to see the two of you...  hmmm  I need some of your blood.  ::Wicked Grin.::  Need to make sure you are not Changelings.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@TO:  That depends on how the two of you parted.

Johnson says:
::Nods:: CSO: And what about your hamsters?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
EO:  Naaaa, Tanya is a happy camper.  Besides Richard is there.  He is having a blast.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@Conner/TO:  Gentlemen, if you will take your seats.  ::Looks down at the controls and begins docking procedures.::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
@Adm: Don't remember, but having a Exeter on your ship is a benefit and a pain, sir

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::rolls eyes:: CMO: Nita just how much of my blood do you want or is it the Irish stuff you so desire? ::giggles and rolls up her sleeve::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Well I hope so...I feel so bad leaving her with such a young one for who knows how long.

Cmdr_Kyle_Conner says:
@ ::moves to the back of the shuttle and takes a seat without a word, the intensity of the man is unthinkable::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
Johnson: Don't worry about them, Ensign Packard is looking after them, I don't know where the rest of the swarm went though, I assume they're under control.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Extracts two vials to put blood in.:: EO:  I can never have enough blood.  ::Pushes the hypospray into Shannon's arm and sees the red juice come out.::  Well It's nice and red.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: What did you expect? Purple? ::grins::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Turns and grins at Keown:: FCO:  Your turn my dear?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::hears that the shuttle is coming out of warp is approaching the shuttle bay::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::chuckles:: EO:  You never know.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Rolls up his sleeve as he walks to join the CMO and EO.::

Johnson says:
CSO: Very well sir, well you'd better be going.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::takes the hypo and presses it against Keown's arm.::  FCO: Ahhhh, all nice and red also.  ::Grins::  You pass.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Brings the shuttle to a gentle stop and puts it on standby::  TO/Conner:  Welcome to your new home for a while.  I hope you enjoyed your trip. ::Smiles wryly at them.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
@::takes his seat, not very interested in docking a shuttle::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Bends down to her med kit and picks up more vials.::  All:  Well nobody goes onto the shuttle unless they are checked..

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
@ ::stands up and grabs his duffle bag:: Harlan: Thank you Admiral...

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CMO:  So the spy's still at large?

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::reads over incoming reports patiently waiting for the replacement crew::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::approaches the shuttle that has just landed eager to meet those that will be taking over for him::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: So what are you going to do put a little flag on us saying we are fine? ::chuckles and walks back over to the console::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Cmdr:  You’re welcome... and enjoy your stay.  We'll talk when this mission is completed.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
@Harlan: Yeah, thanks, sir ::grabs his duffle bag::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
FCO:  I'm afraid so.  This is a sensitive mission and I don't want to take any chances that the saboteur can slip in and portray one of us.  ::Hands Keown a hypo.::  As a matter of act would you mind testing me?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
EO:  Just don't leave the area.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
TO:  Remember what I said... and good luck.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
EO:  If you do, I’ll have to test you again.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Don't worry about that...I have to finish storing the engineering stuff.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands outside the shuttle as the doors open to reveal its passengers::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
Johnson: Yes, that's right! I'll trust that's everything. Don't worry, everything should be fine. Whatever you do, though, don't try to contact me! ::Grabs several analyst’s kits and tricorders along with other gadgets and packs them into a case::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Stands from his console, heading for another one:: Self: What's taking hem?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::takes the hypo.::  CMO:  Sure.  ::presses it on her neck and takes the sample.::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Oh the CEO is in the shuttle if you want to check him.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
Harlan: aye aye, sir ::Turns to the door::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Watches as the blood enters the vile and looks over.::  EO:  Actually Shannon, have him step out please.  I rather not have him in the shuttle if there is a problem.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Grabs everything and exits the Science Lab::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
@ ::walks down the steps and sees Captain Anderson, he steps to his right and salutes the man::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Stands up and walks over the door to look out.  Seeing the captain, calls out::  CO:  Chris, if you have a moment.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::shrugs:: CMO: Sure. ::sticks her head in the door of the shuttle and calls the Chief out::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::returns the salute from Commander Conner and notices the Admiral::  Harlan: Admiral you continue to surprise me with your visits...what can I do for you?

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Stops and remembers something:: *XO*: Sir, is there any specialist equipment we'll be needing for this mission that you haven't informed me of?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::hands the CMO the hypo back.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Sees the chief exit the shuttle and walks up to him.  She presses the hypo against his neck and sees his blood is normal.::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Smiles::  CO:  That is part of my job.  I won't take up much of your time...  ::Motions her head toward the inside of the shuttle::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::looks at the commander  saluting and chuckles and shaking head:: 

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CSO*: Ensign just bring your standard pack with you.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
*XO*: Acknowledged Sir. ::Continues on to the TL::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::finishes storing the engineering gear::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks inside of the shuttle to hear what the Admiral as to say::  Connor/TO: Remain there gentlemen...I wish to speak with you for a minute

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::looks at Connor with a grin:: Connor: Okay what did you do?

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Closes the shuttle doors::  CO:  Real quick.  I wanted to make sure you received those rather unusual communications we have been able to get you.

Hamster says:
::Peeks his head out of the unaware CSO's luggage::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
TO: What are you talking about Ensign?

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::shakes head:: Connor: Nothing, commander

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::yawns, wishing the rest of the senior would hurry...  and that he'd slept a little more.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
All:  Ok where is everyone?  ::taps her foot.::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Taking their sweet time as usual.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
Computer: Shuttle bay 2.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Walks back to his normal console:: XO: The shuttle has docked. Admiral Harlan seems to be onboard as well!

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: EO:  So I rushed for nothing.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::shrugs at the CMO.::  CMO:  Somewhere taking their sweet time.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::shakes his head:: Harlan: Aye Admiral I have read them, they are interesting to say the least.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Well at least you are here Nita. ::grins::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CTO: She is? ::wonders why the Admiral is on board now::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
EO:  Yeah, I blew off a poker game for this..  ::Grumbles.::

Yeoman says:
::With a cart filled with food, approaches the Chameleon::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: So some lucky sap gets to keep their money for a little while longer then.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Harlan: To be frank, some of the rumors don't make a lot of sense I'm not entirely sure where to start

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::leans against the Chameleon, let's himself slide down to the floor and sits down.::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Enters the shuttle bay and sees the FCO, CMO and EO::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
Yeoman:  Please hold there.. I need to check al this out...

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
XO: Yeah, according to my internal sensor readings, she is. ::Shakes head:: Self: She keeps chasing us.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::spots the FCO:: FCO: I sure hope you are going to be able to fly this thing.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
EO:  Shannon, can you please hold Spencer for a second till I check him.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CTO: Acknowledged Lt. ::continues to wonder::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
CO:  Interesting is a good word... and one to be wary of.  Unfortunately, that was all we could get you.  I am afraid I am giving you pieces of the puzzle, without being able to tell you what it might look like... or if it might be a holopuzzle to jump out and bite you.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Sure. ::reaches out taking the CSO's arm::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
::wonders if he will have to deal with this Ensign while aboard the Nighthawk::  Self: Undisciplined

Yeoman says:
::pauses at the doctor’s request::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::Grins at the EO.::  EO:  I might be cocky, but I know my stuff.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CMO: Well I'm happy to see you too. ::Gives his arm to the EO::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::wondering if he could split and get some rest::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Pulls out her tricorder and runs it over the food.::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
FCO: We shall see then won't we? ::grins::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
EO:  If you're lucky, yes, you'll get to see the great Keown in action!

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::taps commbadge:: *XO*: Patrick when are the rest going to get their tails down here?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Harlan: I understand Admiral...that is exactly the reason why we are going!  We'll solve this puzzle, I'm got some of the best officers in the fleet

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
Yeoman:  Hmmm ok, food is good.  ::Grins::  Ok just a little blood before I let you on the shuttle.  ::Puts the hypo against his neck and draws blood.. nods as everything looks good.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
Yeoman:  Ok, you can pass.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Scenery:  A hamster pops his head out between the rations to look up at the doctor.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::cocks an eyebrow at the FCO and hopes his cocky attitude doesn't cause trouble::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*EO*: Good question lass. I'm waiting on the replacement crew now.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  Sorry Ens Spencer...  ::Sees the Hamster::  Hamster:  Ok what are you doing there?

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::nods with a slightly sad smile::  CO:  You know the rules... if any of you are discovered...

Hamster says:
::Chitters at the CMO::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
::continues to stand at attention::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
*XO*: That is why I was asking you Patrick. ::chuckles::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  I need a little of your blood ::She grabs the Hamster at the Same time.::  Hamster:  You are a cute one that is for sure.  Mia would love you!

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::shakes head:: *EO*: Hopefully soon lass.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::With Hamster in hand she switches the vials and prepares to take Spencer’s blood.::

Hamster says:
::Whiskers twitch and settles in the doctor’s hand::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods along with the Admiral:: Harlan: Aye Ma'am, you never heard of us  ::gives a wry smile::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Grins:: CMO: So the Hamster gets royal treatment and I get my blood drained?

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::winks:: CSO: She is a part time vampire didn't you know that?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
Yeoman:  Can you bring this little cutie to my quarters?  Provided nobody lays claim to him?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Grins::  CSO:  Yeah I know..  Life sucks when you’re tall and not full of fur.  ::Laughs::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
CO:  I won't keep you any longer.  ::Hands him a data chip::  If you need any help...  and you have had to destroy the Chameleon... there are two people you can look up.  Don't trust them though.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Takes the CSO's blood and nods.:: CSO:  You are cleared.. ::Smiles:: Just don't leave the area or I'll have to check you again.

Yeoman says:
CMO:  Yes ma'am.  ::Reaches for the hamster carefully as the hamster starts to glare at him.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Harlan: Understood Admiral thank you... ::takes the data chip from her hand and puts it in a pocket::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Grins again::CMO: Oh, stop, you're making it too tempting!

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Chitters at the Hamster:: Hamster:  It's ok sweetie he is going to take you to a nice safe place and then you will have a little girl to play with.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Opens the shuttle door::  CO:  Good luck Chris...  may your path bring you home.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Chuckles at Spencer and winks at him.::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::thinks of Joey as the CMO says little girl and wonders how she is doing.::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::still waiting, ready to take a powder::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods at the Admiral and walks out of the shuttle to meet up with the TO and Cmdr Conner::

Yeoman says:
::Eyeing the creature doubtfully, leaves with the empty palate and heads for the doctors quarters::

Hamster says:
::Dives back into the CSO's luggage::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Conner: Commander Conner I must say it is an honor to meet you...I have already transferred command of the Nighthawk to you.  All you must do is activate it.  Good Luck and keep her safe ::holds out his hand::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::As soon as the shuttle is cleared, she asks permission for departure::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
::shakes the Captain's hand:: CO: Thank you sir ::walks towards the bridge::

Johnson says:
Self: Thank goodness that the old man is out of the way, now I can have some fun.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::raises a eyebrow as overhears the CO::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CSO:  Spence, you're not bringing any on the Chameleon, are you?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::taps his commbadge:: *XO*: Cmdr O'Guinn have everyone board the Chameleon we will be leaving in five minutes or less..

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*ADM*: Permission granted ma'am.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Gets a bemused look on his face:: FCO: Of course not. I wouldn't dear taking any of my Hamsters on this mission. What if they got hurt?

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns toward the Tactical Officer:: Exeter: Walk with me Ensign... ::begins the walk towards shuttle bay 2::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
COMM:  XO:  Thank you...  ::Permission granted, she eases the shuttle out of the docking bay::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::waits for Conner::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::doubtfully.::  CSO:  uh-uh...

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Waits for the rest of the team so she can play vampire.::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
::arrives on the bridge and looks it over::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
FCO: Well you could always search him you know.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
CMO: Anyway, now that I'm clear, can I load all of my things onto the Chameleon?

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
Cmdr: Cmdr Connor?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  Load away my dear.  ::Grins::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
CO:  Okay ::wondering what he did::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Heard the com from the CO and gets up from his seat. Notices Connor arrive and nods at him:: Connor: Commander.

Cmdr_Connor says:
XO: Yes, you must be Cmdr O'Guinn

Host Adm_Harlan says:
@::With a backward glance at the Nighthawk, hanging like a jewel among the stars, she sighs, wishing the spirits of their ancestors to watch over them.  Then reaching forward, taps a few buttons and is quickly gone from their sight.::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Takes his equipment and starts to load it onto the Chameleon::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
EO:  Not in my job description.  ::louder, so the CSO can hear.::  Anyhow, if we find any during the trip, we can just dump ‘em into space.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
Cmdr: Aye and I turn the bridge over to you.... Now if you will excuse me I have a shuttle to catch.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::shakes head chuckling::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
XO: Understood thank you... ::activates his command codes and sits in the captain's chair::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Stands near the TL, waiting for the XO::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::turns entering the TL:: Computer: Shuttle Bay 2.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Cringes at the thought of one of his dears being dumped into space::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Enters the TL immediately after O'Guinn::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::feels the TL start stands wondering what is about to happen::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::paces around wishing the others would get here not liking this waiting game::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
TO: Ensign...I'm afraid you won't have time to unpack for your going on a little trip with us.  This entire trip is extremely classified and is not to be discussed beyond those on this ship.  Is that clear?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Glances to his side for a moment::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Finishes unloading onto the Chameleon, still unaware of the hamster that he's smuggled aboard::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::feels the TL stop steps off looking around the Shuttle bay:: ALL: Are we all here?

Host Biishe says:
Scenery:  The Romulan ships still sit quietly along the border, basically ignoring the Nighthawk.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
XO: Just waiting on the Captain Patrick.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Exits the TL and enters the shuttle bay::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
XO/CTO:  Cmdr, before you do anything, I need blood from you before you can step foot on the shuttle. ::Shrugs and holds up her hypospray.::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::giggles:: XO: Watch out the vampire is busy.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::stands up, still leaning on the Chameleon as the XO enters.::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: CMO: Okay, if you must. ::Holds up his arm::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
TO: I knew it, starfleet wants me dead don't they ::grins::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
EO: Good ::walks towards the Chameleon:: CMO: Ok Anita ::pushes up sleeve::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Grins:: CMO: If I didn't know better, I'd say you get pleasure out of this.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Presses the hypo against Jackson's arm and draws blood..  :: CTO:  You are good.  ::turns to Patrick.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
TO: No not all ::grins:: One more thing!  How's your cousin doing on the Scimi?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CSO:  Of course it pleasurable.  ::Grins::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Presses the hypo against Patrick’s arm and watches.::  XO:  You are also good.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CSO:  Most doctors are sadists, it makes their job easier.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::grins::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
CO: you mean Mr.  2nd officer and almost certain to get a XO seat anywhere. He's doing good  last I heard.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
FCO:  You just wait.  You will have to see me a some point.  ::Winks::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks into shuttle bay 2 with the TO and in the middle of the shuttle bay is the Chameleon is all of it's glory::  TO: Good... ::smiles thinking of the Exeter family::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::nods:: ALL: As soon as the captain arrives we will depart. You all know the drill so I shouldn't have to say anything.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
ALL: Captain on DECK! ::comes to attention::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::snaps around coming to attention::

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Stands to attention::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::fakes a horrified expression and then grins at the CMO.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Stops the Capt and TO::  CO/TO:  Sorry I have to check you...  I know I've checked you Sir, but you've been out of my sight.

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::shakes head:: CO :what a welcome, I feel loved ::grins::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Walks up with her hypo in hand.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
ALL: As you were...for the remainder of this trip we are going to skip formality.  Understood?

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Swiftly turns o face the door and stands at attention::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Stand at ease again::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
ALL: Good...let's get going!  ::steps aboard the Chameleon::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::stands at ease next to Patrick:: XO: What does he mean skip formality?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::follows the CO into the Chameleon.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
CO:  Capt!  Please step off the shuttle until I've checked you...  ::Looks at Patrick.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
TO:  Please wait..

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
ALL: Load up. EO: In other words forget you know the word sir for a while

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
%::Sitting to all appearances, relaxed in his chair, watching the small federation vessel.  Under his breath::  What are they up to?  Why do they just sit there?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: My mistake Lieutenant.. ::steps off the shuttle and over to the CMO::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
TO: for what........ Got all my shot when I left Starbase.

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
CO: Sir the doctor needs to check you before we can start.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Smiles:: CO:  Sorry Sir, but It's a precaution.  ::Presses the hypo against his arm and grins::  Still clear sir..  Sorry for the delay ::Turns to the TO.::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::let's the Captain pass and then heads to the cockpit.  Sits down at the helm and unlocks the Chameleon's controls.::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
FCO: Prepare three automated shuttles to depart with the Chameleon...have them prepare defensive maneuvers with the Nighthawk.  Let's get close enough to the Romulan that they can feel the heat...

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::enters the shuttle and finds her seat::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
TO:  I'm checking to make sure no one here is a changeling.   Your arm please.

CSO_Ens_Spencer says:
::Steps onto the Chameleon::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands next to the CMO waiting to be checked out::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::looks at  the Doctor amazed:: Self Could be a way out. ::grins:: CMO: what if I reject?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
TO:  I'll have you arrested and relieved of duty.  ::Smiles sweetly::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
::enters the shuttle taking seat::

FCO_Toln says:
Cmdr Connor:  Aye, sir.  ::prepares three automated shuttles to depart with the Chameleon and take up defensive positions around the 'hawk.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
TO: Might not be a good idea five minutes into your new post...ensign

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
TO:  So what is it?  The Brig or a nice comfy shuttle.  ::Grins::

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
%::Taps his fingers to his chin, watching.  Something was up, there was no question about it, but what...  Glances over his quiet crew, noting the tension there::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
TO_Merfolk: Bring all weapons to simulated mode...

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
CO:  Really tempted to break John's record though ::smiles:: CMO: Brig is really  tempting ::hands over arm::

Johnson says:
::Starts checking the experiments running in the Science labs::

Romulan FCO says:
%Cmdr:  Sir, I am reading an increase in power levels from the federation vessel.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Chuckles and presses the hypo against Exeter's arm and watches the blood flow in.::  TO:  Sorry to break it to you hon... It's the Romulans for you.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::powers up the shuttle.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Turns:: CO:  Capt everyone is cleared.

TO_Merfolk says:
Connor: Activating simulated combat readiness. ::Enters a few commands::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
CMO: I should have said no ::chuckles::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
ALL:  We're all set!

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
%All:  So it begins...  OPS:  Inform the other ships to keep their eyes open.  These federation people are as slippery as a muck tock.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Grins:: TO:  Remember that for next time.  ::Picks up her med kit and enters the shuttle.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods to the CMO:: CMO: Very good...let's get aboard

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
::spots Nita and motions to the seat next to her::

XO_Cmdr_O`Guinn says:
FCO: As soon as the captain is settled take us out.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Grins at Shannon and takes a seat next to her.::  EO:  Ready for your first Away Mission since coming back?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::steps aboard the Chameleon::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: As ready as I can be I would guess. How do you do it Nita...do this and not fret over Mia?

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
XO:  Aye, aye.

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Buckles herself in and sits back crossing her legs.::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Enters the Chameleon and takes his place at Tactical::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::fingers fly over the console as he gets the Chameleon ready for launch.  The bay doors slowly open in front of them.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
EO:  I fret make no mistake.  It's easier know that Richard is here and that she is safe.  Tanya is a jewel of a Nanny.  My Granny found her and she has impeccable taste.

Romulan CTO says:
%Cmdr:  Their shuttle doors are opening?

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
FCO_Toln: Launch the shuttles...  TO_Merfolk: Let the games begin...

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
%CTO:  Their shuttle doors?  ::Sits back, watching::

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
ACTION:  Three shuttles emerge from the Nighthawk and take defensive positions.

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Yes but Patrick and I are both here...that makes it harder it seems. Richard did get my message about what to do if anything happened right?

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Nods:: EO:  Yes and he has every contact number in Ireland.  ::Grins::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Sorry I guess I worry too much don't I?

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
ACTION:  All Romulan eyes are glued in amazement at the three shuttles.  Laughter can be heard on the various ships.

TO_Merfolk says:
Connor: Aye sir, initiating simulated attack pattern. ::Engages the simulation targeting computers::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Pats Shannon on the leg.:: EO:  Not in the slightest.  It's the first time away from him.  Of course you are going to worry.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sits in his seat and waits for the Chameleon to get underway:: FCO: Activate the Chameleon device as soon as we exit the Nighthawk

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
CO:  Aye.

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
%::Sits forward as he watches the shuttles engage in battle, his frown deepening::

EO_LtCmdr_O`Guinn says:
CMO: Well you just keep reminding me that it's going to be okay. ::grins::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
ALL:  Alright, buckle up children, and keep your arms and legs into the vehicle.  ::engages the Chameleon device and takes the shuttle out with full thrusters.::

CMO_Lt_Santiago says:
::Chuckles:: EO:  That is what friends are for.

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
%COMM:  Nighthawk:  What is this federation nonsense?

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
*Chameleon*: Good Luck Chameleon

TO_Merfolk says:
Connor: Incoming hail from the Romulan vessel, sir!

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
ACTION:  The Chameleon slips unnoticed from the Nighthawk.

Cmdr_Connor says:
::ignores the Romulans for now::

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
ACTION:  The three shuttles begin to fire phasers at each other in various patterns, at very low energy.

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
::speeds up to full impulse heading towards the neutral zone.::

CTO_LtJG_Jackson says:
::Runs scans of the area::

TO_Ens_Exeter says:
::tries to get some sleep before they arrive::

Cmdr_Kyle_Connor says:
TO_Merfolk: Alright let's have some fun!  Engage the shuttles using attack pattern Romeo.  FCO_Toln: Put us on a vector of 255 mark 360

TO_Merfolk says:
Connor: Aye sir ::Engages attack pattern Romeo::

FCO_LtJG_Keown says:
ALL:  If you look to your right, you'll notice one of our most interesting specimens.  Dumbfounded Romulans are seen more often nowadays in this far reach of the galaxy...

Host Cmdr_Vayne says:
ACTION:  As all watch the mock battle, at a loss of the nonsense, and annoyed they dare not do anything as they are on the correct side of the neutral zone, the shuttle Chameleon slips by them.
