Captain's Log: Stardate 10301.18

Host CO_Zax says:
We have been sent on a diplomatic voyage to the Brielle Home world. Our mission is quite simple; keep the Federation guests that were are ferrying to the Brielle joining the Federation party, and keep them from killing each other enroute. Given that Brielle is very close to the Romulan border, this trip may indeed be interesting.

Kamaria: Perhaps....once they get some Braille crew on these ships, then they will have a fine vessel

FCO_Luchena says:
::enjoys hearing sarcasm directed at someone else for a change::

CTO_Choi says:
::Shrugs::

CTO_Choi says:
CO: Not exactly..

CEO_DeRidder says:
::enters the bridge with a jerk as the TL door opens:: CO: Ahhh Mon Capi-tan....   But zee ship, she's a pleasure to be on when she's in good shape no?

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow and stares at the impertinent pup::

XO_Rofax says:
::thinks things look rather shag-a-delic on the bridge::

Kamaria:  Do not suppose for it is true!  Come...let us make our way to the bridge of this vessel

CEO_DeRidder says:
::gingerly walks over to the bridge engineering console and sits down:: FCO: Oui....  And your steering is reminiscent, of shall we say, a horse and buggy?  ::swings around and checks the warp drive status::

FCO_Luchena says:
CEO:  Give'er some more juice, would ya?  ::wonders how he's supposed to function with all the incompetents on this ship::

Host CO_Zax says:
::overhears the conversation::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Reroute more power to the engines.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::watches the status lights flash, and hits the intercom:: *Engineering* Mr. Clarey, check your balance on the intermix ratio....  

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::nods:: Khaz: Yes yes of course I would love to see how this fine vessel operates from the heart.

CTO_Choi says:
::Looks back to the XO and shakes head::

CEO_DeRidder says:
<Clarey> *CEO* Aye Chief...  

OPS_Shiar says:
CO: yes sir :: reroutes power to engines::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ship jumps in warp, the ship vibrating at the speed.

FCO_Luchena says:
::makes a slight course adjustment::

Host CO_Zax says:
::scratches his beard lightly::

::before he steps inside he steps back allowing the doors to close, once he sees 'Turbolift' written on it he steps forward again:: Khaz: Turbolift I do believe.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::holds on to railing on the way down::

Host CO_Zax says:
::eyes the FCO:: FCO: Glad to see you aren't underestimating yourself, Luchena.

CEO_DeRidder says:
Self: I can see that this is not going to be as smooth as I had hoped....

FCO_Luchena says:
CO:  No chance of that, Sir.

CTO_Choi says:
CO: Everything at Tactical look to be in order...  ::No expression::

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
Kamaria: Interesting....::feels a slight bounce as the TL takes off to its destination::

XO_Rofax says:
::steps to an unmanned science station and attempts to sort out what the rattle is::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::exits out into the Engine Room and heads over to the intermix control console::  Self: Let us zee what we have here....

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: That, I can believe. ::hopes the guy’s head doesn't explode from all of the swelling::

FCO_Luchena says:
::smiles confidently, not getting it at all::

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: And our guests are well tended?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::checks the antimatter inlets and control rods::

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::nods:: Khaz: Indeed.

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
ACTION:  The two head delegates arrive on the bridge while their entourage remains patiently in their quarters.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, external sensors are clear.  It is definitively internal.  ::sees the two arrive::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Get the CEO on it immediately.

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::steps on to the bridge looking around::

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
::walks out onto the bridge and looks over the large room with great interest::

::notices the delegates and sighs::

OPS_Shiar says:
CO: there is an in coming message sir

CTO_Choi says:
CO: Guests? ::Sighs::

XO_Rofax says:
Khaz / Kam:  Welcome to the bridge.  Something I can help you with?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::makes some minor adjustments to the intermix ratios and the inertial dampeners requesting power from power tap circuits::

FCO_Luchena says:
::glances over at the delegates as they arrive::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: On screen.

OPS_Shiar says:
:: puts the message on screen::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
Scenery:  On the screen a slender, very aesthetic man appears.

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
COMM:  Captain Zax I presume?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

FCO_Luchena says:
::looks up at the screen::

Host CO_Zax says:
COMM:PM: Zax here. Good afternoon, Prime Minister.

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
XO: No...You could not help us! ::looks the XO over and turns to Kamaria::  Mark him down on the list as possible!

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
COMM:  I am Prime Minister Zhairit.  We are ready for your arrival.  Have you chosen which of your people will be part of the ceremony?

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::smiles:: Khaz: Yes, I agree

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Perhaps we can find an Engineer who can tell me if this is a rattle, a shimmy, or something that is going to tear us in two?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::hits the intercom button::  *Bridge* Engineering to Bridge.....  The rattles and the shimmy shakes should be clearing up...   There was a slight discrepancy in the intermix ratio.  I also increased power to the inertial dampeners.

FCO_Luchena says:
Wonders to Self:  List?

FCO_Luchena says:
::sits up straight::

OPS_Shiar says:
Self: not me, not me, not me

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow:: COMM:PM: I am afraid you have caught me unawares. What ceremony?

CTO_Choi says:
Self: Carburetor problems I see...

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
::His eyes look at the two delegates::  COMM:CO:  I was made to understand that you were to be part of our ceremony in honour of this glorious event.  ::Spoken with an emotionless voice.::

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
::nods to the XO and moves to where the CTO is standing::  Kamaria:  Yes...yes he will do nicely.  Don't you agree?

XO_Rofax says:
Self: The only possibility here is me kicking your.....  ::is interrupted be the COMM's::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks skeptical:: COMM:PM: Perhaps you can fill me in on this....ceremony?

Tiz says:
::walks in behind the minister and hands over a strange looking padd containing the preparations::

FCO_Luchena says:
::wonders why they aren't picking him... surely they see what a fine specimen he is::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
COMM:CO:  You and your crew are to come join us in your finest. Those chosen will be escorted to join the others in the parade.

Host CO_Zax says:
::isn't the trusting sort::

FCO_Luchena says:
::looks a bit petulant despite his excellent posture::

Host CO_Zax says:
COMM:PM: And then what happens?

XO_Rofax says:
::thinks parade is another word for sacrificial lamb::

OPS_Shiar says:
::mumbles:: SELF: who will then be eaten

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::looks to the CTO, and nods:: Khaz: I agree

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
COMM:  There will be a ten-day celebration that you and your crew are welcome to join us for.

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
::something catches his eye at the front of the bridge, the FCO and OPS::  Kamaria: Quickly come...

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

OPS_Shiar says:
:: turns the lights off in sickbay then back on again::

Host CO_Zax says:
COMM:PM: And my crew's safety is guaranteed?

OPS_Shiar says:
::laughs mischievously::

CMO_Pettigrove says:
::leaves sickbay and enters TL, takes the handle and orders the lift to the bridge::

FCO_Luchena says:
::brushes back his hair::

CTO_Choi says:
::Relaxes, and just about flips his legs up onto the console::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::walks over and slips into a radiation suit, preparing to enter the dilithium reaction room::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
::Looks insulted:: COMM:  CO:  But of course.  We only seek to honor the federation and celebrate our joining of it.

Host CO_Zax says:
::hears the Operations officer giggle and glares at him::

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::rushes to join Khaz next to the FCO; nodding his approval and pointing at the FCO's head:: Khaz: This one.

XO_Rofax says:
::whispers while his back is to the COMM::  CO: Ten days?  I don't think I saw that memo.

CMO_Pettigrove says:
::arrives on the bridge::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: COMM:PM: Don't get your panties in a twist.........

OPS_Shiar says:
:: stares front after catching CO's glare::

FCO_Luchena says:
::looks at the CMO's legs as she arrives::

CTO_Choi says:
::Drums on his console::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::steps into the entry carousel after putting on the radiation suit, minus the helmet::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the XO and motions for him to check that with SFC::

XO_Rofax says:
::nods affirmatively and moves on::

OPS_Shiar says:
:: gives FCO a cold stare::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
ACTION:  Playing with his hair, the FCO hits a few levers on the console and the ship jumps into warps it was never built for.  The ship feels as if it is starting to shake apart.

Host CO_Zax says:
COMM:PM:We'll do the parade, Sir. Thanks for the honor. As for the ten........................

CTO_Choi says:
::Watches the CMO enter from the corner of his eye:: Self: Yowza'...

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks around:: All: What in the blazes????

FCO_Luchena says:
::is oblivious::

XO_Rofax says:
::no longer has to walk as he is bounced right across the deck plates:::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::is thrown to one side of the chamber::  All: MERDE!

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Slow down!!!!!

CTO_Choi says:
::Holds on tight:: All: All aboard!!

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: Damage report!

CEO_DeRidder says:
::gets up and makes way to an intercom button::  *CO* What eeen Bleu Blazes is going on up there!?

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Luchena!!!  Watch the panels, not the ladies!

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
Kamaria:  Yes...you have a very sharp eye!  Mark both of them down!  We still need one more though...have the XO put down as a yes instead of maybe!  We shall have these...

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
Scenery:  In the lounge, the plates shake themselves off the tables.

OPS_Shiar says:
:: throws PADD at FCO:: FCO: you fool

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the intermix status readout through the glass of the dilithium chamber::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
ACTION:  The ship slows down.

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes his head instead of strangling the pretty boy at the helm::

CTO_Choi says:
::Looks to the FCO:: FCO: Keep it going!! ::Laughs with glee::

FCO_Luchena says:
CO:  ETA is now ten minutes.

FCO_Luchena says:
::smiles::

XO_Rofax says:
::crosses to the Science station::  Self: ooh.... a maybe....

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CO* Minor over heating in the Nacelles captain...   We might have some hull stresses....

FCO_Luchena says:
::thinks he must be the most fabulous pilot in the fleet::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: I would thank you to control your crew, Commander.

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::looks around at the strange occurrences on the bridge; ignoring them he continues to look at the XO, looking him up and down::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::exits the reactor room back into the main compartment::  *CO* Give me a moment to pick up the pieces.... 

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the CTO and FCO and glares::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: Understood.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain...  we have a cracked dilithium crystal...  I believe the Pendragon will be doing the controlling for us....

CTO_Choi says:
::Looks back to the CO and grins ::

FCO_Luchena says:
::as his back is to the CO doesn't know he is being glared at::

Host CO_Zax says:
::stands and walks over to the CTO::

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Chief, I am detecting a cracked crystal... can you confirm?

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: Do you have a problem, Mister Choi?

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
::searches the bridge until he finds the person he is looking for::  CO: You must be the Captain, I can always tell!  It is a gift...

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: ETA?

CTO_Choi says:
CO: Not at all, in fact! I love this! 

CEO_DeRidder says:
::checking readings::  *XO* Stand by Exec.... ::runs dilithium diagnostic

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: I'm sure you'll love it even more from your quarters.

CMO_Pettigrove says:
::pulls down on her all-too-short uniform::

FCO_Luchena says:
CO:  A few more minutes Sir.

CTO_Choi says:
CO: I don't have any... as of yet ::Smiles wide::

Host CO_Zax says:
::glances at the man with the really long name and almost groans aloud::

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::suddenly looks around and notices Khaz is no longer next to him....he scurries to join him with the captain::

OPS_Shiar says:
:: looks over at the CMO:: CMO: so, what's a good-looking girl like you doing in a place like this?

FCO_Luchena says:
::checks for a more precise estimate::

CEO_DeRidder says:
*XO* Commander...  Yer right.... The Dilithium Crystals are showing signs of fracture...  We'll only be able to maintain speed for a few more minutes before we have to drop from warp to replace them.

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: Mr. Choi, I think we can solve that right now. You are relieved of duty. Report to sickbay.

XO_Rofax says:
::feels like a piece of meat hanging in the front window of the butcher's shop::  Kamaria:  If you insist on staring, please sit and enjoy yourself....  ::overhears the COMM::

FCO_Luchena says:
CO:  ETA is eight minutes, Sir.

Host CO_Zax says:
Khaz: I guess it could be the uniform.............

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Thanks Chief.  Keep us informed.  Rofax out.

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
CO: My friend and I...wish to give you the glorious news of whom we have carefully chosen to participate in the ceremony.  It is indeed glorious no?

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
Scenery:  The Braille system can be seen approaching on the main screen.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::begins to prepare for intermix shutdown procedure::

CTO_Choi says:
Self: Anything to get me out of this joint.. ::Smiles and heads for the TL::

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Recommend we drop from warp Captain....

CMO_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CO:: CTO:  Come on, Lt.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods solemnly:: Khaz: Indeed. Please....make your choices.

OPS_Shiar says:
CTO: have fun

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::snaps his head to looks at the XO, and turns back whispering to Khaz:: Khaz: Make certain that we have that one ::points to the XO::

FCO_Luchena says:
::prepares to drop from warp::

XO_Rofax says:
::waits for the FCO to speed up, just for fun::

CTO_Choi says:
::Eyes widen:: CMO: Whatever you say, ma'am.. ::Enters the TL::

CEO_DeRidder says:
*Shipwide* Attention all engineering crews, we'll be going to Auxiliary power upon assuming orbit for intermix reaction chamber maintenance.  Assume repair stations.

CMO_Pettigrove says:
Enters the TL with the CTO::

Khaz`vin`htaed says:
Kamaria: Please tell the Captain...of the great choices we have made!  ::whispers to Kamaria::  Kam: Indeed, put him at the top of the list

XO_Rofax says:
:: has a strong urge to step out of an open air lock for some unknown reason::

OPS_Shiar says:
SELF: I’ll decide when we go to auxiliary power

Host CO_Zax says:
::returns to his seat::

CTO_Choi says:
::Stretches his back as the TL buzzes downwards::

FCO_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  Entering system.  Engaging impulse engines.

FCO_Luchena says:
::drops from warp::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
Scenery:  Around the planet are various vessels of the Braille.

XO_Rofax says:
::waits for the FCO to run into one::

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::clears his throat stepping in front of the crew:: All: With much deliberation we have chosen who shall be the 'parade' participants.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::sees that the ship has dropped from warp::  *Bridge* Bridge...  Standby for Warp Drive Shutdown....  

FCO_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  Approaching Braille.  Standard orbit?

FCO_Luchena says:
::listens but remains focused on his console::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::cancels antimatter feed to the warp reactor::

XO_Rofax says:
::crosses to the center::   CO: Captain, you will be joining us I presume?

CTO_Choi says:
::Waits for the TL to stop:: CMO: After you..

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Standard orbit.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::watches as the intermix chamber goes dark::

::grimaces but nods::

CMO_Pettigrove says:
CTO: No, Lt, after you.  ::follows him out of the TL::

FCO_Luchena says:
::nods and engages standard orbit::

COMM: Braille: permission to enter orbit?

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
<Planet> COMM:  Pendragon, permission granted.

FCO_Luchena says:
::makes some minor adjustments to avoid hitting the other ships::

CTO_Choi says:
::Shrugs and exits::

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::continues his statement after zoning out on the XO:: All: Our first choice is....you ::points to the XO:: Our second choice...... ::looks around trying to find the CTO, but instead points to the FCO::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
ACTION:  The ship slips into standard orbit above one of Braille’s main capitals.

CMO_Pettigrove says:
::walks down the corridor, watching the CTO::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Lock out all primary and secondary power to the core until we hear from DeRidder.  I would hate to cook a Frenchman in the core.....

FCO_Luchena says:
::looks up at Jelani::  Jelani:  Just what do you want us to do?

CEO_DeRidder says:
*XO* We have intermix shutdown Commander...  Commencing dilithium upgrade...  Time to complete, 45 minutes including the 15-minute restart procedure.

CTO_Choi says:
CMO: So, where ya' taking me, Doc ?

OPS_Shiar says:
SELF: I wouldn't

CMO_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Sickbay, Lt.  As the Captain ordered.

OPS_Shiar says:
XO: yes sir :: locks out power to core::

Kamaria_Jelani says:
::looks around the bridge:: OPS: Oh yes, and you as well.

Host CO_Zax says:
Khaz: He'll be available shortly.

CTO_Choi says:
CMO: Oh... Just dispensing with the pleasantries are we ?? ::Grins::

FCO_Luchena says:

:: looks shocked::

Host PrimeMinister_Zhairit says:
::Looks at the men with an expert eye::  Ahhh... perfect.  They will indeed add to the variety.  But their clothing... nooo.. something more elegant is needed.  ::Claps his hands.::
