Summary:
The Nighthawk approaches sector 142, where it is to conduct some tests with the new ship’s system. The crew comes across something that seems to be a problem with the sensors, they get absolutely no readings. Rose goes down to engineering to get the guys in yellow onto the problem. The problem seemed to be in the installation of the holographic communication system.

Meanwhile, the counselor is experiencing problems with his body: He seems to be losing hair. He reported to the new doctor, who started giving Varesh a thorough examination. His loss at hair kept persisting.

Meanwhile, the Captain and Lieutenant G’Dar take the Chameleon out for a spin, to test the new systems. They come across a metallic object which they beam aboard to examine.

Back on the ship, the first test of the holographic communication system was a success. Captain Anderson’s image came through very clear. It would appear the problems were solved…

Time lapse:
None

Announcements:
Welcome aboard to Lilia and Charlie!
A late happy birthday to Chris Esterhuyse!
Please get your logs in before the mission folks!!

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CO's Log: The Nighthawk has been assigned a new mission, as well as a few upgrades for the Chameleon and the Nighthawk.  We are proceeding to a SFI testing facility to work out the kinks in the new armor, hopefully nothing too serious!

ACTION:  The Nighthawk approaches Sector 142.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::exits onto the bridge, glancing at the CNS, then proceeds to the center::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Operations Officer Commander Alexandra M Gomes reporting for duty, Captain
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Arrives on the bridge only moments after Gomes and walks to his own station and sits down there::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::notices a blinking light in her now empty new console but waits for the CO to answer first::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Yawns and stretches back in her chair, not finding anything surprising in the medical supplies inventory::  Self: Starfleet and there blasted paperwork
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Exits his quarters and heads for the turbolift: Computer: Deck 1
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods as Alexandra walks past him, lightly brushing her mind with his, then glances down at his hand and frowns:: Self: I'm sure the backs of my hands were a bit hairier...
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::brushes off the FCO, when he hears his new Operations officer approach him::  OPS: Welcome Aboard, Commander!  ::motions to the Operations console::  I'm sure you are familiar with the layout of the bridge?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::runs his hands over his hair and bites back a curse, just loud enough so the Captain can hear it::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods:: CO: Yes Captain ::makes her way to the OPS Console tapping a few buttons:: CO: And it seems my first task is here waiting for me
SO_Rose says:
:: On the bridge, running through sensors, waiting for the CSO.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads for his station relieving the beta CSO::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: There is an incoming encrypted message, tight security, Captain's eyes only
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::tries to peer inside his uniform, pulling the neck of the garment out as far as he can::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Logs on to his console and checks the data on there, glancing sideways at Brianna:: Brianna: Almost there huh?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS:  I was just reviewing your personnel record, very impressive!  Tell me, why transfer to the Nighthawk?
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The counselor sees what he fears.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::speaks in a shaky voice:: CO: Captain... permission to go to sickbay.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::raises her eyebrows as she was not expecting that question:: CO: A new Challenge Captain ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: I guess that question will have to wait for now...I'll take in my ready room
SO_Rose says:
CTO:  Yea...  and very quiet too.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the CO and resumes getting acquainted with her console:: Self: I need a new chair
SO_Rose says:
::Looks at her boss::  CSO:  Morning.  Did you want me to finish up in the lab?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::taps her console and relays the message to the Captain's ready room::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Smiles:: SO: Well, what did you expect?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Sits down at the science console and looks to see what is on the sensors today::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::raises his eyebrow a bit::  CNS: Of course Counselor...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Its that thing Anita and I spoke to you about... its progressing. ::turns and leaves without another word::
SO_Rose says:
CTO:  Ummm... hmmm... good question.  But not... well, nothing.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Understood Counselor...you'll keep informed!  ::walks towards the doors to exit the bridge and enter his ready room::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
SO: Morning Rose. If you want. While your down there could you do a quick diagnostic on the LRS, Im not picking up anything at all.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::figures she has to learn a bit more about this odd counselor the Nighthawk seems to have::
SO_Rose says:
::Stands::  CSO:  Sure.  I'll pop into engineering.  I too was wondering about that.  ::Nods to Gary before heading for the turbolift.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters the TL and orders it to sickbay, shakily running his hands over his head again:: Self: Oh, why me?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::glances around the bridge, all new faces, except for Jackson thought she can never admit to have worked with  him before::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Chuckles:: SO: Thought so... ::Shakes head:: Besides, who could possibly be planning anything against us?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns around just before he exits through the doors::  CTO: Commander...you have the bridge!
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO: Get us where we need to be...
Host NightWind says:
Scenery:  On the captains screen is one of Intel’s logo with Admiral Harlan's signature.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::enters his ready room and walks to his computer screen and taps the button::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks over his shoulders, the nods:: CO: Aye captain... ::Stands up, walks to the center chair and sits down in it, looking around::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Switches over to SRS and Internal sensors to see if they are working correctly::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CSO: I've been taking a look at the Nighthawk's main sensor arrays, I have a few suggestions on improving output
Host NightWind says:
ACTION: Coordinates appear on the captains screen.  Long enough for him to memorize them before vanishing.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up, right into Brianna's eyes, and he just stares at her::
SO_Rose says:
::Sends the turbolift to engineering.::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Signs off on the inventory report and gets up to look over sickbay, still not sure she believes she is really here::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::The SRS and Internal sensors are blank:: CTO: Are you getting any readings on the Internal sensors
SO_Rose says:
::Waves a hand in front of Varesh's face::  CNS:  Sir?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::burns the image of the coordinates into his mind and taps the button to bring up another program::  Computer: How far away are we from these coordinates...  ::typing them into the computer::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Glances at G'Dar:: CSO: I'm not sure.. I didn't have enough time to check them before the captain left for his ready room... But feel free to check my console, lieutenant.. ::Smiles::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks and shakes his head:: SO: Sorry, Bri. ::tries to smile at her, but fails::
Host Computer says:
CO:  ETA 10 minutes.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::checks power allocation charts and adjusts some of the readings for maximum efficiency:: Self: OPS is so easy
SO_Rose says:
CNS:  Something is wrong... what is it?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Walks over to tactical and notices the same blankness as with the other sensors:: Self outloud: This is not good
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CSO: Is there something wrong?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::shifts uncomfortably in his uniform again:: SO: I don't know. ::looks really shaken by this:: I have less hair, my uniforms don't fit and I want to eat raw meat. Does that sound like me?!
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks to the side and decides to check it out himself:: CSO: What's up..
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::taps his combadge:: *CTO*: Commander adjust our heading to these coordinates...I'll be making my way to the Chameleon, have Lieutenant G'Dar join me please!  ::sends the coordinates on a secure inter-ship channel::
SO_Rose says:
::Half jokingly::  CNS:  Werewolf?  ::Looks him over consideringly::  You do look a little different.  A bit pale.  Maybe the doc can help.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CTO: ::A little worried:: I’m not getting any readings on any sensors at all. Long, short and internal sensors are showing absolutely nothing at all.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::Runs a diagnostic on internal and external sensor arrays::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the ship appears at the original coordinates of Starfleet intelegence, the area is void of anything other then normal space debris.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks up, and walks back to the command chair:: *CO*: On it captain.. ::checks the coordinates:: Helm: Helm, change course to new coordinates.. Bearing.... Three two five mark zero two seven..
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:::puts the image of space ahead on the viewscreen::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
SO: You and me both. ::smiles weakly:: Werewolves get more hair, not less. ::exits the TL as it stops:: I'll see you later... I think. ::walks down the corridor, letting the doors close behind him::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
CSO: What does engineering have to say about it? ::Glances behind him at the MSD::
SO_Rose says:
::Watches the counselor go, worried for him.::  Computer, resume to engineering.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands up and walks out of his ready room and into a turbolift, and waits for Lieutenant G'Dar to join him::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO/CSO: Sensors are working at peak efficiency
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CTO: I sent Rose down to see.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters sickbay, looking around for Anita:: All: Nita! Tessie?! Nicholas!
SO_Rose says:
::Stopping into engineering, she asks them to check out the sensors.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO/CSO: It is just odd that there are no facilities or vessels in the area
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: Something I can help you with Commander?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Raises an eyebrow as he sees green on the board:: CSO/OPS: Other than the fact that the coordinates were wrong, what can we have for an explanation?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
OPS: I’m not even reading any background radiation. I’m not even picking up the crews Biosigns on the Internal sensors
SO_Rose says:
::Goes with one of the technicians and the two of them look over the diagnostics.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::pulls at his uniform:: MO: Uhm... I hope so. ::walks to a biobed:: I'm losing hair.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Cloaking device?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
CSO: Good point... Any known radiation that would interfere with our sensors, rendering them useless? OPS: Hm, maybe, but the area seems to be too big for that to work without a huge power supply..
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::the turbolift doors try to close, but he stops them with his foot::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Picks up a Tricorder:: CNS: Lets have a look at what is happening here.  Have a seat.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Well Commander, a cloak big enough hides a facility that large as well ::smiles::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets onto the biobed, shifting uncomfortably in his uniform:: MO: Oh, and my uniforms feel wrong and I crave raw meat. I'm a vegetarian for goodness' sakes!
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Shrugs:: CSO/OPS: Ah well... Lieutenant, the captain asked you to join him on a little mission on the Chameleon...
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Re-routes the science display to a PADD and sets up an open com link to the bridge and heads to the TL::
SO_Rose says:
::Nods::  *CSO*:  Everything is fine on the LRS and the SRS, however, there seems to be a problem with internal sensors.  It seems the new holocom system was put in properly, but not put in with context to our engineers changes with the Nighthawk.  They will get right on it.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: I can see where that would be disconcerting.  ::Begins to run the scanner over the CNS::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Are you familiar with my medical file? If not... I suggest you take a crash course.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
*SO*: Alright thanks. But that doesn’t explain the other sensors.
SO_Rose says:
*CSO*:  No sir... sorry.  I am heading to the labs now if you need anything.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CSO: The diagnostics say the sensors are fine, perhaps you should re check your readings? There might be just a computer glitch
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Pulls up the CNS medical file on the nearest computer, and downloads the latest scans to it.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
*SO*: Um I don’t think so. Hold the fort.
Host NightWind says:
ACTION: ETA to new coordinates, 3 minutes.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Self: Interesting
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: As you can see, Dr. Santiago has been trying to find out why my DNA is being rewritten... so far we have had no luck.
SO_Rose says:
*CSO*:  Aye sir... I promise not to blow up the lab... today.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
*OPS*:Could be a glitch but the diagnostics would detect that. Re-checks the readings.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::wonders if he has to do some drills at three o'clock in the morning about punctuality::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  On the OPS console, a very large and colorful rodent appears.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CSO*: Depending on which systems are affected. The updates made on the ship seemed to create a lot of entropy that still needs to be solved, back to order ::smiles::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
*SO*:  Blow them up all you like just as long as I cant tell
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sends out a girlish scream before gaining her composure again::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: er...Intruder alert? ::observes the animal::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: I wish I could answer that question for you, unfortunately this latest scan doesn't shed much more light on he subject.  I can tell you that you are loosing hair on every part of your body, but you already know that.
SO_Rose says:
::Chuckles as she enters the turbolift.::  Computer, deck 4.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::finds a tricorder and tries to scan it:: Rodent: I never saw one like you
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Gomes' scream and stands up to see what's going on:: OPS: Aw.... A hamster... ::Smiles::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
Computer: Computer, run a diagnostic on all sensor systems and related systems. Relay results to my PADD.
Host Dor says:
::Stares at the humanoid, its whiskers twitching.::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: We might be able to sequence the various scans that have been taken and project them out to see what it is your DNA is being re-sequenced into.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: The way you speak its as if this is a normal thing on the Nighthawk? For Rodents to appear out of nowhere
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CO: So where we headed?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Chuckles as he turns around and sits down in the central chair again:: OPS: You'll find that out soon enough.. ::Winks::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gives TRae a look:: MO: That is what prompted me to come down here, yes. I wouldn't call myself a walking flokati rug, but this is ridiculous. I'm going to look like a bald prepubescent. ::pauses in his rant:: Hmmm... I like that idea. Lets get the computer on it. ::absentmindedly removes his uniform jacket, the irritation just too much to bear::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Its ... I never saw anything with these readings
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: Maybe knowing the what, will help us with the why.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Dor: What are you my dear? :::has the tricorder compare the readings with the database::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Anything I should know...?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: fascinating ::looks as the comparative results come in::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: You tell me... I guess I was lucky enough to not come across them, or if I did, I didn't notice...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Makes sense to me. ::gets up from the biobed and walks over to the wall display, ignoring the fact that he's walking around in half a uniform::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::stretches her hand to pet the creature::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  After a moment, the creature literally fades from sight.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: Aww
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: There have been a few upgrades to the Chameleon, as well as the Nighthawk!  I would like to get them worked out at the same time as the Nighthawk.  And I need an extra hand, any objections?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: I'd like to study that thing, seems to have an incredible biology, to be able to pop in and out
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CO: No sir.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Computer: Sequence all known medical scans of CNS Varesh by stardate, extrapolate a final scan when the re-sequencing is complete.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Still a scientist I see... ::Smiles:: I read a bit into your biography. Impressive...
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: Excellent...then let's go  ::orders the TL to take them to the shuttlebay::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Notices something on the recent scan:: Self: Interesting
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nervously watching the terminal, absentmindedly rubbing a hand over his scalp::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: I'm looking over the CSO's report on the creature. Quite interesting. Ah yes, I just felt I needed some experience in logistics and engineering. So I asked to be assigned to operations, I get to do a bit of everything
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Stands in the turbolift waiting for the doors to open to end the awkward silence::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Each time the counselor runs his hands along his skin, more hair falls out.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at his hand in horror:: MO: This is very disconcerting. ::holds out a hand full of hair::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Fair enough.. Good to have someone with your experience in that spot..
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: Might I suggest that you not do that if you intend to keep the hair you still have  ::smiles::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION: A special technician exits the Chameleon and hands the captain a special padd as he enters the shuttle bay.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::arrives rather quickly at the Shuttlebay and exits the turbolift::  CSO: I'll go ahead and start her up, you request clearance to depart.  And then we'll she what she can do.  ::thanks the Technician and reviews the special padd::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: But I am here to learn ::smiles:: CTO: And its nice to work with you again ...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gives TRae a disgusted look and looks at the readout:: MO: Ok, what is so interesting?
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The padd is coded, captains eyes only.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Picks up a sample collector and runs it across the CNS skin::  CNS:  You have a fluid being secreted by your skin, I want to get a closer look at it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Smiles:: OPS: It is. And this time it's lasting too. No quick mission with people you don't do, but you're part of a team now...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs:: MO: Great, now I'm turning into an oozing, hairless freak that likes raw meat. Just what I always wanted to be.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: And it seems like an efficient one, I hope I live up to the Nighthawk's fame
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::with the pressing of few keypad buttons, the Chameleon turns on, as he waits permission to depart he reads the padd::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
*Bridge*: Bridge this is the Chameleon, requesting permission to depart.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks at OPS, then taps a button on his console:: *CSO*: Bridge to Chameleon.. Permission granted, good luck..
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::smiles:: CNS: We will get to the bottom of this.  ::Places the specimen into the computer, and begins a full analysis of the fluid::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The shuttle bay doors open into the velvety darkness of space.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
*CTO*: Thanks bridge, try not to have too much fun while were away.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters something vile under his breath and walks off before he loses his temper::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Nods to the captain to let him know we can depart::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: Looks good... ::places the padd down:: hold on here we go..  ::launches the Chameleon out of the shuttlebay doors at a speed far exceeding recommended speeds::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The Chameleon smoothly and silently exits the ship.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Chuckles at G'Dar's remark:: OPS: Alright, commander, keep an eye on our sensors, even if they're not doing what we think they should do...
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Turns to look at the CNS, but sees only his clothing laying on the biobed::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and slaves science one to her console:: CTO: That I can do perfectly fine
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The doctor sees the counselor’s shirt slightly rise and lower with his breath.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::takes a few deep breaths and turns around:: MO: Sorry, I'm not usually this tense. I hate being the patient.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::keeps a sensor lock on the Chameleon::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Looks at the Chameleons sensors:: CO: I’m picking up a small metallic object
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::pulls a good safe distance away from the Nighthawk::  CSO: Alright Lieutenant...let's test out some of these new upgrades. ::hears the CSO::  CSO: What kind of metallic object?
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: Are you still here?  ::Looks curiously at the clothing::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Picks up his tricorder and begins scanning the CNS again::  CNS: Welcome back
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Of course I am still here. ::walks up to her::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Shouldn't we be running tests on the ships systems? I know the Captain has his orders but ...
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CO: Unknown, we might have to beam it aboard, inside a containment field, to find out.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: You disappeared on me.  I was afraid that I had literally lost my first patient
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles:: MO: So you can see me, but couldn't a moment ago?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks around at the board again:: *SO*: Jackson to Rose.. Brianna, what does engineering say about the sensors and the other new equipment?
SO_Rose says:
::In the lab, happily doing the work she became a scientist for.::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: That is the long and short of it.  Why do you find that so funny?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: Alright stand by, set up a containment field and prepare to transport it aboard.  Wait for my order though...  ::activates the holocom system::  COMM: Nighthawk: Commander Jackson....
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Swirls over to tactical and sets up a Level 10 containment field around the Transporter pad.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Because I think I'm going hysterical. ::takes another deep breath:: Did you get an analysis on that fluid?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::runs a computer system-wide simulation to look for any glitches caused by incompatibilities in the new software::
SO_Rose says:
::Looks up::  *CTO*:  Ummm... other then what I reported earlier... I don't know.  I am in lab 2 at the moment.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Turns toward the computer to check the analysis::  CNS: Checking now.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::puts the CO's com on speakers:: CTO: Captain is calling
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Put it on.... ::Turns around in his chair and sees the captain sitting in a chair at the back of the bridge:: COM:Chameleon: Captain.. First test seems to be successful...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::goes to peer over TRae's shoulder:: MO: And?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks down frowning:: CTO: Curious ....
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sees Commander Jackson's holo-image appear on the Chameleon::  COMM: Nighthawk: So it does Commander, listen Lieutenant G'Dar has found a small metallic object out here, were going to beam it aboard.  As well as continue some of the other tests on the newest upgrades for the Chameleon...we'll be in contact
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Gets a transporter lock on the object::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Hears Gomes, but since he's talking to the captain, he doesn't ask what it is that's curious:: COM:Chameleon: Understood captain. Once again, good luck.. Nighthawk out.. ::Turns around again::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: What's curious, commander?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: I found in a few inconsistencies in the computer, the same kind that happen when systems are altered but those changes are not recorded in logs
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS:  The computer is having a hard time reading it.  I have never encountered anything like this.  As for our plan to extrapolate a final outcome of the re-sequencing there is nothing on file to get a match from
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: I wonder exactly Station Engineers did to the Nighthawk
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::cuts off communications:: CSO: Ok Lieutenant...beam the object aboard!  Let's see what this thing is...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods slowly:: MO: So in other words... we still don't know? ::throws his hands in the air and walks off again:: Perfect! Just perfect! ::feels like kicking a biobed::
