U.S.S. Pendragon
10210.12

Mission #150

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Synopsis:  The crew of the Pendragon has returned from the Typhon expanse, with the USS Alcott, in not quite the same condition.  The stations engineering staff will have their hands full trying to figure out the donut issue.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
During their venture the Pendragon crew believe, they visited for a brief moment their own paradise, only to be brought back to their ship, but far into the distant future.  Some speculate that it was all a hallucination.  On the other hand, some believe that by the use of a probe, the crew had been drugged.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Yet if they concentrate hard enough, they can visit their paradise.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Only the latter agrees with the missing comm system, antimatter and 27 hours.  There was also the discovery of some alien life form aboard the ship...

Host Adm_Harlan says:
The Pendragon awaits the crew with its new bridge module.  There have been some new modulations from the last one.  The crew has been given the day to resettle and check things out while Captain Zax has been ordered to speak with Admiral Harlan about their most recent event.

::grabs a plate::

SO_Toms says:
::picks up drink and heads for the food.... mmmmmmmm food::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Pokes over to the table and checks out the food::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Over there.  ::points at the tables against the wall::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Scenery:  Various crew members begin to mingle, some leaving the lounge with plates of food to go back to work, some to deal with errands before they left, others because they didn't like crowds...

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::thinks when "that" ACTION occurs he should leave the room too because something is going to happen::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::walks to fix a plate:: CNS: May I get you something?

CTO_Rofax says:
::stands at the window and watches various ships depart the station while finishing off his coffee::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  No thanks.

SO_Toms says:
::grabs a small bite to eat then goes looking for the CO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::takes her food back to her table and sits down::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CNS_Luchena: You sure? ::Fixing a small salad::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::sees Mikal on the other side of the room and walks over::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  No, but thanks anyway.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::returns to the chair next to the CNS with a salad and orders a drink from the bar keep::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees Kerina approaching and takes a deep breath to steady himself::

::smiles:: CNS: Hello, Mikal.

SO_Toms says:
::finds the CO, walks up to her:: CO: Congratulations, ma'am. ::smiles::

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles back::  XO:  Kerina.  What a pleasure.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I'm surprised to see you here, honestly.

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles back:: SO: Thank you, Ensign Toms.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::notes the CTO standing by the window by himself and decides to walk over::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  And why is that?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::senses such overwhelming excitement coupled with terror from the CNS that he drops his fork and does a double take::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: Nice view isn't it?  ::looking out the window too as he stands beside the CTO::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I figured the science department would have your schedule overbooked.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Goes back to the bar and gets one Orange Juice and a Coffee and heads back to the table:: OPS: Here you are lieutenant.  I never got your name, I keep on calling you lieutenant.

SO_Toms says:
CO: Most deserved from what I’ve seen and heard. I hope to serve with you a long time

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::smiles:: CEO:  My name is Jordan.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks over to see the XO talking to the CNS:: Self: hmmmmmm......

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV:  Indeed it is.  Amazing he can keep track of everything.

CNS_Luchena says:
::being a bit befuddled it takes a moment to make sense out of that::  XO:  Those science types just can't let something go, can they?

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles again and takes a bite of her salad::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::gives him a wry smile:: CNS: Not easily, we can't.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::starts back in on his salad as his drink arrives::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods quietly for a moment then turns::  CTO: I'm Lieutenant Commander Lynch.  ::extending his hand::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
<EO Prime> *CEO*:  Sir, we have a problem on the ship on the holodeck.  We are stumped.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Puts the Orange juice down by her plate and the coffee by his plate:: OPS: Jordan, Jacques. ::Smiles then hears the call::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks over at the FCO curiously for a moment::  XO:  And what is your pleasure this evening?  A drink maybe?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hears the comm::  CEO:  Sounds like you're going to be a little busy.

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV: Commander Lynch, a pleasure.  I don't believe we have formally met.  I am LtCmdr Rofax.  ::shakes his hand::

CEO_Gagne says:
*EO_Prime*: I'm on my way.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::continues eating, attempting to hide some of his thoughts, but is pretty unsuccessful::

SO_Toms says:
CO: Well ma'am, I have to go and see the CNS about some things, so I will see you later. Again, congrats ::turns and leaves::

CEO_Gagne says:
OPS: Can I take you out to dinner to make this up to you?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::smiles in return::  CTO: If you don't mind my asking Commander...  You seem a little preoccupied.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: A drink would be good...for now. ::smiles, a bit mischievously::

CNS_Luchena says:
::is really torn at the moment::

Host EO_Prime says:
@::Stands nervously on the ship, trying to calm down Kelly.::

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV: I was doing some follow-up work.  An investigation into the explosion.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::smiles:: CEO:  Ask me later.  I know what it's like ...

CNS_Luchena says:
::gulps::  XO:  What would you like?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::finishes salad, and takes last sip of drink:: CNS: Well... You know what they say. Three's a crowd. ::nods, then gets up:: XO: Commander.... ::smiles::

CEO_Gagne says:
OPS: Alright. ::Smiles, then gets up and heads for the ship::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::smiles and looks to the floor as he regroups his choice of words::  CTO: No.  I mean here,  ::motioning out the window::  at the window.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::goes back to eating her food::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the FCO with regret::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles back at the FCO:: CNS: Ktarian brandy.

SO_Toms says:
::looks for the CNS, notes where he is, heads over ::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I'll see what I can find.  ::slips behind the bar::

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV: Ah, yes....  The social thing... has lost its appeal to me.  I am ready to get back to work.  ::motions his coffee cup toward the Pen::

SO_Toms says:
::sees the CNS slip behind the bar, follows:: CNS: Ah, sir, would I be able to have a word???

CNS_Luchena says:
::finds the real stuff and rummages around for Ktarian brandy::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::feeling a bit out of place he decides to go greet the Captain::

CEO_Gagne says:
@::Walks onto the ship and into the TL:: TL: Holodeck 1

XO_O`Dunn says:
::listens to all the clinking behind the bar::

CNS_Luchena says:
::pops his head up::  SO:  Sure.  What's up?  ::pops back down and re-emerges with the requested bottle::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::returns his gaze back out the window toward the ship::  CTO: Yes. She is a beautiful vessel isn't she?  It is so good to have friends and....  ::pauses::  loved ones onboard to make service all that more enjoyable isn't it.  ::continues to look out the window::

SO_Toms says:
CNS: I was wondering if I could make an appointment with you?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::walks up:: CO: Captain Zax, I just wanted to congratulate you on this wonderful honor. Well deserved from what I understand.

CNS_Luchena says:
::plops the bottle on the bar::  XO:  Will that do?

CNS_Luchena says:
SO:  Sure.  How about tomorrow?

CEO_Gagne says:
@::Looks onto the ceiling as the TL stops and walks off and heads to the Holodeck:: EO_Prime: What is the problem?

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles:: FCO: Thank you. Are you enjoying the party?

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns around and picks a clean glass off the shelf::

SO_Toms says:
CNS: Sounds good to me sir. What time???

XO_O`Dunn says:
::picks up the bottle and turns it around, examining the labels:: CNS: It will. ::pours a glass:: Will you have one?

Host EO_Prime says:
@CEO:  Sorry to disturb you sir.  But... well ::Looks at Kelly::  She says that she and Thomas meet her for a picnic.  She had forgotten something and went to get it.  When she came back, the room was locked.  I managed to get the doors open.  But there was... well, there is a program running, but no Thomas.  And the computer says he is not aboard.  On top of that, I can't get the program to end.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  No thank you.  I don't drink.

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV:  Marvelous.  ::pauses to collect himself::  Friends and loved ones do help, but.....  ::trails off in thought::

CNS_Luchena says:
SO:  ummm.... How about 0900?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods, unfazed:: CNS: I don't either. ::downs the glass with a single swig::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::smiles back:: CO: Yes Ma'am. Very nice. ::looking a little sheepish and feeling a little out of place::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::slowly returns his gaze back to the CTO::  CTO: But...?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Very nice indeed

CNS_Luchena says:
SO:  There's an office on deck 7.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Taps the Holodeck Console:: Computer: What is running in Holodeck 1?

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Kerina with admiration::

SO_Toms says:
CNS: Fine sir. See you then. ::nods to the XO :: XO: Ma'am :: turns and leaves::

Host EO_Prime says:
<Computer> CEO:  The holodeck is currently unoccupied.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sits by herself watching the going on around her::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::closes the bottle, nodding back to the SO, and idly wondering how he's doing::

CNS_Luchena says:
::moves out from behind the bar::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I need a vacation. ::sighs::

CTO_Rofax says:
::sighs heavily::  CIV: but, it becomes difficult to maintain those relationships when those who strive to destroy all we stand for continually invade our sanctity.....  ::furrows his brow::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Where would you like to go?  ::moves close enough to touch her::

SO_Toms says:
::puts down his empty plate and heads out of the lounge, just wondering::

Host CO_Zax says:
::takes a sip of her iced tea::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::voice trembling a bit:: CO: I don't want to take any more time away from your meal. I need to.... Uhhhhh... Get to the ship for some preflight checks.

CEO_Gagne says:
@EO_Prime: Let's take a look.. ::Opens the Holodeck Door and walks in::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::puts her hand on his:: CNS: To hear you play.

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow:: FCO: Are you okay?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<OPS_Relief> *OPS*:  Relief to Pettigrove.  Sir, there appears to be a huge distortion of energy coming from the ship.

Host EO_Prime says:
ACTION:  As the doors open up, various scenes are running in different sections of the room.  Each scene resembles a child’s fairytale.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: Then perhaps we should all return to the confines of our own system, stop trying to make the galaxy a better place and wait for every bully in the quadrant to come and take us over.  Then we will have no friends, no relatives and no... ::pauses again::  loved ones to hold dear.

CNS_Luchena says:
::his face lights up::  XO:  It should be pretty quiet on the Pendragon now.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*Relief*:  Can you pinpoint a cause?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Oh... uhhh... ::pauses:: I'm ok. Just that.... This is the first formal function that I've been to other than academy graduation and I'm.... well... It doesn't matter.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::just smiles at him, waiting for him to lead the way::

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles reassuringly:: FCO: And?

SO_Toms says:
::wanders the halls for a while, before heading to the turbo lifts and the Pendragon::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<OPS_Relief> *OPS*:  It seems to be coming from the holodeck.

CNS_Luchena says:
::begins to walk slowly with O'Dunn.::  XO:  It's a beautiful instrument.

CEO_Gagne says:
@::Looks at the Holodeck programs:: Computer: Confirm the programs being used in the Holodeck.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Seriously.... I'll deal with it. Just that it's going to take me a little more time to get acquainted with everyone than I originally anticipated.

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV: A communist system then?  History has never boded well for that thinking.  It just involves some unpleasant things from my past that seem to keep rearing their ugly heads.   Actually, just one ugly head....  ::grins somewhat::

Host EO_Prime says:
<Computer> CEO:  The holodeck is not currently running any programs.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: So I've heard.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Pettigrove to Gagne.  I'm getting reports of an energy imbalance emanating from the holodeck.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I've only played one better.  ::smiles::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks around for the XO::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Relax...you have plenty of time.

Host EO_Prime says:
@CEO:  Sir, I am going to take Kelly back to her room.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::laughs::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: Then how do you propose we avoid the problems that keep coming up to change our lives?  We can't... ::pauses again:: hide in our own minds and...  ::pauses:: cover up our own feelings of what happens around us

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::smiles:: CO: Of course Ma'am.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::can't find the XO so approaches the CO::

SO_Toms says:
@::arrives on the Pendragon, heads off to his quarters::

Host CO_Zax says:
::sees Pettigrove and smiles::

CEO_Gagne says:
@EO_Prime: Alright.  *OPS*: I am in there now.  There are programs running but the computer is not registering it.  You might want to come down and see this.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::smiles back:: *CEO*:  I'll be there shortly.

CNS_Luchena says:
::still walking with O'Dunn::  XO:  I'll let you touch it if you want.  The piano, I mean.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::sees OPS approaching like she has something on her mind for the Captain:: CO: If you will excuse me Captain.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the FCO::

Host EO_Prime says:
::With a nod, he takes his upset friend back to her quarters.::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Problem, Lt?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, I’m getting reports of an unusual energy imbalance in the holodeck.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::walks out of the lounge headed for the gangway to the ship::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles at him, hoping he's not disappointed that she isn't blushing...not that he'd be able to tell, anyway::

CEO_Gagne says:
@*XO*: Commander, we have a problem with the Holodeck right now.  I am running a diagnostic right now I recommend that R&R on the holodeck be restricted to the Starbase.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Has the CEO checked it out?

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV:  Stab at the very heart of our grief before it has a chance to materialize.  A pre-emptive strike to wipe away the terror that hides in the darkest corners of space and our imaginations.  But, that wouldn't be civilized then, would it?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CO:  He's there now.  I'm going to go and see if I can help.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::after going to quarters to change uniforms, DeRidder enters the bridge to see a couple of technicians, and assumes his station to check things over::

CEO_Gagne says:
@::Begins a level 3 Diagnostic::

CNS_Luchena says:
::drops his hand from Kerina's arm so she can respond to the comm::

SO_Toms says:
@::arrives at quarters, enters saying hi to the Chief, before dropping onto his bunk::

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: Understood. What's the problem?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: Some people might call that covering up, or...  ::pauses:: hiding Commander.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: OPS: Report in in five minutes. Notify the XO of the problem as well.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  It is odd, though.  There are programs running but the computer is not registering it.

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns:: OPS: Have him cut power to the room.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: Unless of course you mean "actually" attacking the darkness in the galaxy.  But then who draws the line between darkness and the light?

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV: Coping, actually.  It's all in the semantics.  ::grins again and turns to face Lynch::  Can I buy you a drink, Commander?

CEO_Gagne says:
@*XO*: We might have a problem with the Computer Subroutines, and OPS reported that there is power surge in the room.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CO:  With you permission, Captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sighs::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::beginning to get accustomed to the new console, he begins to reorganize the controls to his liking::

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: Keep me informed. I'll restrict access.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::turns and heads towards the exit:: *CEO*:  Have you tried cutting power to the Holodeck?

Host CO_Zax says:
::watches as the Operations officer walks away::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: I believe the previous Captain of this ship performed many an evil deed in his war against his enemies in his youth.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: Yet, people generally considered him.. good.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::taps up proximity and navigational, running a short test::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs, thinking at least nothing has exploded yet:: *OPS*: Restrict all access to the Pendragon's holodecks to working engineering crews only, and notify the crew.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to avoid the CTO's change in subject techniques::

CEO_Gagne says:
@*XO*: Aye. *OPS*: Am running a diagnostic before I kill the power. ::Returns to the Arc::

Host CO_Zax says:
::decides to get back to the ship....just in case::

CTO_Rofax says:
::turns back to the window::  CIV: I would agree.  And in a way, my past is similar to his.  Similar acts, similar enemies.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.  I'm on my way there now, Commander.  I've informed the Captain, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Sounds like we might not have much time.  Want to just skip over the part where I seduce you with my musical skills?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I was rather looking forward to that part.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: But I suppose we should.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  What ever your desire.

SO_Toms says:
@::lies on the bunk, contemplating himself, and what he is doing::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CTO: So I ask you again... who determines what is right... and what is wrong?  Don't you think the enemies we have... or will have out there  ::pointing out the window:: also have families and loved ones?

CEO_Gagne says:
@::Rolls his eyes back:: *OPS*: I am cutting power. Diagnostics are back and it is ok. ::Heads back outside::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::hears some beeping coming from the OPS panel, and scoots over::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::enters the ship and heads for the holodeck:: *CEO*:  Any ideas on a cause?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: My desire is to get through just ONE off-duty cycle without being called in for duty.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::taps out a power distribution grid for the ship::

CEO_Gagne says:
@*OPS*: No idea at this time, I think a computer glitch.  ::begins the power cut to the holodeck::

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV: I believe we all do.  We each possess a calling, but whether it is morally right or wrong will be judged by someone other than ourselves or our duty.

Host EO_Prime says:
ACTION:  As the power is cut, popping is heard from within the holoroom.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::sees the power transfers and decides to call the Engineer:: *CEO* Ensign DeRidder to Lt. Gagne... Come in please....

Host CO_Zax says:
::arrives on the ship::

CNS_Luchena says:
::rests his hand on her arm as they walk::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*OPS_Relief*:  Pettigrove to Relief.  Restrict access to the holodecks to Engineering crews only.  Also, inform the crew of the restriction.

CEO_Gagne says:
@*FCO*: Stand by.  ::Hears the pop:: Self: Yikes!!!! ::Runs back in::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods::  CTO: Perhaps Commander.  Perhaps if not an evasive answer.   ::smiles::  Well it was nice talking with you Commander.  ::Extends his hand for one final shake::  Hopefully we will have the chance to speak again.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::hears the pop over comms as the OPS relief walks back to his station::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::arrives in the ship's lounge, after what seemed like an hour::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::scoots back over to helm::

Host EO_Prime says:
ACTION:  In the holodeck, the scenes are bouncing from one to another.  Flickering on and then off.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::arrives at the holodeck:: CEO:  Jacques?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  There she is. ::gestures toward the beautiful piano::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
Ops_Relief:: What's going on down there?

CTO_Rofax says:
CIV: Agreed Commander.  ::shakes his hand::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Nice. ::has what is surely an insufficient appreciation for an undoubtedly fine musical instrument::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods his head in the CTO's direction before turning to leave the SB Lounge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::goes and sits on the bench::  XO:  Do you want to sit with me, or lean seductively on the piano?

CEO_Gagne says:
@OPS: Jordan... ::Looks at the Holodeck::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<OPS_Relief> FCO:  Seems to be some kind of power imbalance ... Engineering and Lt Pettigrove are down there.

CTO_Rofax says:
::waits for the CIV to depart and makes his way back to the Pen::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CEO:  What's happening?  I heard a popping sound?

SO_Toms says:
@::can't get comfortable, so goes over to the replicator to get a drink of orange juice::

Host EO_Prime says:
ACTION:  Power shifts from one area to another building up.  As it passes some areas, it burns out ship components.

CEO_Gagne says:
@OPS: I just power, and pop goes the holodeck.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::leans, but drastically more seductively than should be possible in her dress uniform::

CNS_Luchena says:
::know he's not going to be able to concentrate, so plays something familiar, a sort of smoky slow number::

CTO_Rofax says:
@ ::arrives on the Pen and accesses the nearest display panel::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::thinks:: OPS_Relief: Hmmmm... That seems unlikely.. we just finished a general refit. Might I suggest a total evacuation of that deck save for the engineering team and Lt. Pettigrove?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::listens::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the components:: CEO:  You sure you cut power?  Looks like this is still running ...

Host EO_Prime says:
ACTION:  A massive power surge breaks through into the holodeck.  The holodoors snap shut as the program begins back up.

CNS_Luchena says:
::as he plays he wonders if O'Dunn is feeling the wood vibrate and warm::

SO_Toms says:
::after drinking his drink, heads out of his quarters.... something about the ship doesn’t feel right...::

Host CO_Zax says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CTO_Rofax says:
@ ::sees the power surge and drop his coffee, running for the holodeck::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks up at O'Dunn::

CEO_Gagne says:
@::Hears the door slam shut:: Yells: Help!!!!!

XO_O`Dunn says:
::melts slightly into the piano::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::sees the Captain enter:: CO: Something strange coming from the holodeck Captain.... ::hears a power surge alarm coming from OPS::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::cries out briefly::

CTO_Rofax says:
@ *Holodeck*  This is LtCmdr Rofax, what's going on?!?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Perhaps Yellow Alert is in order until we can assess?

Host EO_Prime says:
ACTION:  CEO and OPS life signs fade from the ships records.
