<<<< Resume Mission >>>>

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::at her station making preparations for the Pen to leave ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::walking down a corridor toward her Quarters::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::meditating in his quarters::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::reboards the ship after eating on the station::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::brings a PADD with his assignment orders to the Security Checkpoint::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#:: walks into Station OPS with Admiral Omeca ::  ADM: An excellent dinner, Admiral. Thank you.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::reaches her Quarters and takes a step inside. She walks over to her bed and lays down on it for a few minutes of relaxation::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::smiles to the officer as he passes through, and heads for a TL::

Host ADM_Omeca says:
#CO: I am glad you enjoyed.  I figured it was the least I could do considering the circumstances.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is at one with the universal sub consciousness::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#:: looks askance ::  ADM: I'm not certain I follow, sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::sees all is well, knows she has 6 hours until the Pendragon is due to leave so begins to run diagnostics on ship's systems::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::notices something as she lies down. She moves her hands around until she finds the source of discomfort, a PADD::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps into the lift:: TL: Bridge.

Host ADM_Omeca says:
ACTION: Station OPS is transmitting new orders to the Pen.  She is due to resume patrol of the sector in 6 hours.  Shoreleave is now officially over.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::sees a comm coming in from the station ... checks the message::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::examines the PADD before her, wondering who placed it there and why::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::gets to his quarters and changes into a clean uniform::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps out as the lift doors slide open, and begins looking for familiar faces::

Host ADM_Omeca says:
#CO: I have heard plenty unofficially of what occurred during your apprehension and I must say, I am glad no official report will be filed due to the sensitivity of the circumstances.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#ADM: It's a relief to me, as well, sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
COM: CO:  Pendragon to Captain Thraxis.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#ADM: Excuse me, sir.  *OPS*: Thraxis here, what is it, Jordan?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::sees Jordan and smiles to her.. waits for her to finish her conversation::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::continues to read over the message, trying to make sense of it:::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::issues a recall order to all crew that shoreleave is over and ordering them to return to the ship::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
COM: CO:  Sorry to disturb you, Captain, but the station has just transmitted our new orders.  I have recalled all personnel in preparation for departure in 6 hours.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#:: glances at Omeca :: *OPS*: Understood. Thank you. Anything else?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  No Sir.  I thought you'd like to be notified.  Pendragon out.

Host ADM_Omeca says:
#::waits for the CO to finish::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::leaves for the bridge::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks at the tactical station and sighs at memories..::

Host ADM_Omeca says:
#CO: However, SFC looks down on situations with no clear chain of command and I will admit I am not overly pleased you have been without an XO for this long.  You have lived several lifetimes, but you could stand a helping hand on the bridge.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::turns as sees the TO ... finds he is familiar:: TO:  Mr. Newind ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::places the PADD down, deciding not to say anything at the moment:: Self: Another message? ::gets up from her bed and walks over to the computer and begins to read the second message:: Self: Departure in 6 hours, that sounds fine.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::stops, as he realizes he heard 'Captain Thraxis', then looks up to the OPS again:: OPS: Mrs. Thraxis..

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::opens his eyes slowly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#ADM: I agree fully, sir. However, my own choice has been rejected, and I am frankly puzzled as to why that is.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::grins:: TO:  It has been a while ... I assume you know your way around?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
OPS: I do, indeed. I just need to check in with the Captain..

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::checks the time::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
TO:  He's on the station at the moment.  We're not due to depart for another 6 hours.  Why don't you go unpack and come back when we are due to depart.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::taps her Combadge:: *Sickbay*: Yates to Sickbay. Be prepared to depart in 6 hours. ::stands up, her Beta Shift staff was more then capable in handling preparations::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::arrives on the bridge and spots a familiar face:: TO: I see Starfleet is really really desperate for crew. ::laughs:: It's good to have you back. Even if you are recycled.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands and bends to blow out the candle::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CNS: I've received your message, Mikal.~~~ ::exits her Quarters toward the Turbo Lift::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::pauses::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::nods to Jordan, and then chuckles at Damien:: CEO: It's good to be back. I'll see you in a bit.. ::leaves the bridge through the TL, taking it to the deck with his quarters::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  Thank you.~~~

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::continues running diagnostics getting prepared for departure::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CNS: I'm not sure if I fully understand but...I trust you.~~~ ::enters the Turbo Lift and orders it to Deck 7::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::blows out the candle, grabs a small bag, and leaves his quarters::

Host ADM_Omeca says:
# CO: I think a conflict of interest may arise if I were to allow your first choice.  Although I can understand you reasons.  ::pauses::  I was considering another possibility...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
Computer: Transfer engineering to the bridge ::Looks at the consol light up::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: looks expectantly at Omeca ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters a turbolift::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::after a few minutes, the doors open and she takes a step onto the deck. She begins walking toward Sickbay::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks at the CEO:  CEO:  Ready to go, Lt?

Host ADM_Omeca says:
ACTION: The Gecko has undocked from the station and taken up orbit in the vicinity.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: We're green across the board.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges from the lift and heads toward the airlock::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps into his new room, and looks around a bit.. he begins to unpack::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::enters Sickbay and looks around, noticing that a few of her officers were working on basic supply checks::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  We have a bit of time before departure.  I've been running diagnostics of the comms and power systems ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::passes through the airlock onto the station::

Host ADM_Omeca says:
# CO: I understand you and your CNS have not been seeing eye-to-eye.  I personally feel that conflicting opinions can make a team stronger.  ::pauses:: That which doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger....

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: They should turn out fine. I ran exhaustive diagnostics myself

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# ADM: Sir, are you seriously suggesting Commander Luchena as First Officer?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::tries to think of a quiet, out-of-the-way spot::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::walks by her officers and looks over what they are doing, not saying a word::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::heads toward the arboretum::

Host ADM_Omeca says:
# CO: Consider it an order.  I am placing Commander Luchena as second in command of the Pendragon, effective immediately.  You are to promote Mr. Luchena immediately and the paperwork is already on its way to being processed.  ::looks less pleased about this than Thraxis somehow::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::walks over to her office and moves to her Replicator where she orders a herbal tea::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::has everything set up fine for now, and leaves his quarters, heading to sickbay::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: stunned ::  ADM: Sir, I ask you to reconsider. Commander Luchena is a competent officer, but I have serious doubts that he is prepared to fill a command position.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::enters the arboretum and takes a deep breath::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::takes the mug over to her desk with her and takes a seat:: Self: Starfleet Medical should be happy with these results... ::opens up crew physical files::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps into the sickbay and looks for the chief::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::finds a nice tree and sits beneath it::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Greyhound> TO: May I help you, Lieutenant? ::looks toward the door::

Host ADM_Omeca says:
# CO: You have had several months to locate a suitable executive officer and yet here we are.  SFC believes you are purposely dragging your feet.  I am at a loss to explain this, so consider your objection noted.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#~~~searches~~~

TO_Lt_Newind says:
Nurse: I'm looking for the doctor in charge. I've just been assigned here, and I want my physical done before I'm due for duty..

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Greyhound> TO: Really? I thought all transfers were through... ::shakes his head:: TO: Doctor Yates is in her office. I will get her. ::moves toward the office::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#~~~locates the familiar buzz of the Pendragon~~~

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::nods and waits::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Greyhound> ::peaks into the office:: CMO: Doctor Yates, I have someone here requested to speak with you. He is in need of a physical...

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::continues diagnostics ... happy with the results so far ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#~~~resists the urge to touch those he cares for~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks up from her computer:: Greyhound: Thank you, Marlin. ::stands up and exits her office:: TO: Welcome, Lieutenant. How are you this evening?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: shakes head ::  ADM: This is a very bad idea, Admiral. However, since the decision has been made, may I have your permission to be the one who informs Cmdr. Luchena? If he is to be my XO, there are some hatchets that need burying.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: I'm fine. I just wanted my physical done, so I can go find who's new, who's still here, and who's left.. ::smiles::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
TO: Were you just recently assigned? I had a schedule sent out three days ago for all officers. ::walks over to Biobed Three::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: Yes, I was. ::follows the Doctor::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::is overcome by a wave of grief::  ~~~moves on~~~

Host ADM_Omeca says:
# CO: I would hope that is the first of many steps in the correct direction.  Perhaps in time....  ::trails off::   Captain, I bid you good day.  I must attend to another matter at the moment, if you'll excuse me.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
TO: Well then welcome aboard, Lieutenant. What position have you been recruited into? ::motions for him to take a seat on the Biobed::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# ADM: Yes, sir. Good day to you, sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: stands for a long moment, deep in thought ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#~~~reaches out to the Gecko~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: taps commbadge ::  *COM*: Computer, locate Commander Mikal Luchena.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: Tactical... Seems that's where I'll always be here. ::takes a seat and gazes at a wall, as he thinks about being here before::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::picks up the Medical Tricorder and begins to scan the new Tactical Officer:: TO: Always be here? You were once assigned aboard the Pendragon previously?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: Yeah. I used to be the Chief of Tactical..

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
TO: A very noble position. ::smiles as she watches the scans:: TO: Why did you leave?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: ::sighs:: Family business and medical reasons..

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::nods:: TO: That seems to get the best of us. ::places her tricorder down:: TO: If you will lay down for me?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks over at her:: CMO: I began developing empathy.. ::lays down::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#<COM> *CO*: Commander Luchena is in the station arboretum.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#~~~pulls back~~~

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: .. and talk to a grandfather I had never heard of before.

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
TO: Really? ::looks over him curiously as she presses a few buttons, causing the black scanner arch to move over him. She makes sure that she scans his cranium::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: boards a nearby turbolift ::  Lift: Arboretum.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: Really.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::feels uneasy.  Tries to calm himself::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
TO: Do you have any idea how this empathy developed?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: exits outside the Arboretum ::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::tired:: OPS: When are we supposed to leave? I've heard nothing as far as new orders go

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::brushes a fallen leaf from his hair::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: I do. I'm a quarter Betazoid, and ::pauses:: it took a long time to start developing..

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: enters the vast botanical garden and begins walking its paths, looking for Luchena ::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
TO: Have you received any training since the development? ::makes a few notes on her medical report::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  We received orders a little while ago ... departure for patrol in 6 hours ... you look like you could do with some rest.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::closes his eyes and meditates::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: Yeah. That's one of the reasons I left..

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: The sound of small scurrying feet can be heard on the Bridge.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: Maybe, but I'm....oh yeah..I'm CEO. I can take time off when needed.  I scheduled myself on this shift

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::hears something and turns suddenly:: CEO:  Did you hear that?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: spots Luchena sitting beneath a tree, eyes closed... approaches quietly, sits down a couple meters away, and waits ::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::nods:: TO: What is your current level of control? ::makes a few more notes, her scans almost complete::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::suddenly opens his eyes::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: smiles :: CNS: Hello, Mikal.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  Captain!  ::stands up quickly and brushes off the seat of his uniform::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: Sounded like footsteps....:;runs internal scan::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: The sound continues to increase as if it is getting closer...and closer.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Scan for intruders ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::bends to retrieve his bag and slings it over his shoulder::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: stands :: CNS: Will you walk with me, please?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CMO: I'm pretty good at it. Another weird part of my sudden development.. I don't have too much of a problem controlling it.. except for when I first developed it..

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  Umm... Captain.  I have something to say first.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*TO*:  Bridge to Lt Newind.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#CNS: Go ahead.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: I think it's a group of Voles

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*OPS*: Newind here.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  Thisah has requested I escort him back to his home planet.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*TO*:  I need you on the bridge, Lt.  Possible intruders ...

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::nods as she presses a few more buttons, causing the arch to go back to its proper position:: TO: Well that is... ::pauses as she hears the comm::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: Don't tell me I'm in charge of pest control. I'm a pacifist

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::Laughs:: CEO:  That's what we have tactical officers for, Lt.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: Indeed? Did he say why?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks to the Doctor:: CMO: OK for me to run ?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: The sick them on the Voles

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: Under one of the aft science consoles a scratching and ramming can be heard.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: They're under the deck plating

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
TO: Go ahead, Lieutenant. As for your health... you are completely healthy.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: Nope - they’re in the science consol!

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Any phasers around here ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  It's to do with the Gothric.  He believes the Sekloth Order may be responsible for its presence here.  He returns to find a way to contain it there.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*OPS*: Ah.. Be right there..

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::unlocks a panel and draws a  phaser:: OPS: Here you go

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::hands the phaser over::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::takes it:: CEO:  Open it up.  ::aims for where the sound is coming from::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: I see. Well, we shall have to discuss this at some length. Now, I need to say something, as well.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::hops out of the biobed:: CMO: I figured so. Until next time.. ::heads quickly for the TL::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: One single Vole runs onto the Bridge, leaving little droppings behind him.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::shoots the Vole::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::opens the science consol hatch and quickly steps aside:: OPS: Can't we just all get along?!

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: The Vole becomes limp.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO.  Captain.  There isn't time.  The Gecko departs in five hours.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps onto the lift:: TL: Bridge.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::goes over to the Vole:: Vole:  Now where did you come from?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: I'm collecting them and bringing them to some kind of habitat

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::picks up the limp Vole::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  What!?!?!?

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::takes the report on Lieutenant Newind and walks over to her office so she can look over the results in more detail::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: There is NO need to kill them.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: We will certainly come to a decision in that time, Mikal... I've made a huge mistake, Mikal, and I need to apologize for it. I have come to understand that my telepathic communication with Jordan is a trap as much as it is a blessing.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: This one is kind of cute. 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::is visibly shocked::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  I didn't kill it, I stunned it.  Now you're sure there's mo more of them on the loose?

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: Half a dozen Voles emerge from the opening under the science console. They begin to run around without reserve, ramming into consoles, chairs, and all of the in between. Of course, leaving droppings the entire time.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: No, I'm certain there are more of them loose

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::arrives and looks at the Voles:: OPS/CEO: Scary intruders..

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
TO:  Care to help us contain the situation Lt.  or shall I leave it all to you?

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: One of the Voles bites the TO's leg.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
TO: We're to take them to a safe place. No killing the Voles Newind

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  That's still up for debate, Lt.  Get them off the bridge while I try to work out what I'm going to tell the Captain ....

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: I had begun to confuse verbal and telepathic communication. I don't think I really was making a distinction between them when I gave her the order to keep the Pen at the station. That was the root cause of my anger with you for disobeying that 'order'. I am deeply sorry that I let myself make that mistake.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
Ouch! ::grabs the Vole and tosses it. Brian looks at the CEO incredulously:: CEO: You're kidding, right?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::looks at the limp Vole in his hands:: Vole: I'll save you!

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
TO: No. Why do tactical guys like to kill everything?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::sighs:: OPS/CEO: Computers can lock onto Vole lifesigns right?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CEO: One just bit me! I don't kill everything!

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
TO: Yes, as long as you don't kill them

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::gives the CO an odd look::  CO:  It doesn't matter.  All that matters is that I take Thisah back to Ravenscar.

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: Two other Voles emerge from the opening and charge at the TO, knocking him down.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
TO:  Beam them to a secure location where they CANNOT escape.  CEO:  I'll talk to you about this later, Lt.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
ALL: Damn:: begins stunning the Voles::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
Hey! ::tries pushing them off of him::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: We can talk about that in a moment. I have important news for you, Commander.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::Stuns more Voles as they emerge::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: I’ll make sure they have a safe place to go. 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::wonders what now::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::jumps up as she hears screams in Sickbay. She runs out and notices there are.. giant rodents in her Sickbay!:: *Bridge*: Yates to Bridge!

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CMO*:  Go ahead, Doctor.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::makes for a console, begins beaming the Voles to the CEO's quarters::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: Admiral Omeca has ordered me to promote you to the position of Executive Officer.  :: holds out his hand ::  Congratulations, Commander.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: There in engineering as well

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*OPS*: Jordan, it seems that Sickbay has been invaded with... Voles.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::impatiently shakes the CO's hand::  CO:  Will you let me go, Captain?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::turns and looks at the CEO:: CEO:  They're also in sickbay.  I want a clean way to get rid of them all at once ...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: You might try locking on to all Vole lifesigns and beaming them to the base - I'm sure that’s where we picked them up to begin with

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Do it!  Just get them off the ship.

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::picks up a phaser and fires it at the Voles, on a stun setting::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
OPS/CEO: Well, that shouldn't be too hard.. most of them should be in Damien's quarters right now..

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::Locks on to the Voles and beams them to the station::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
ACTION: Several Voles are transported from the ship onto the station.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
TO: Very funny

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Have your people get to our systems ... I want to know how much damage they did ...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::continues Vole transporting:: OPS: They'll be back home soon

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# :: looks at his new XO with puzzlement ::  CNS: I'm willing to consider it, but I need to know more. Why does Thisah require an escort, and why does he want you to do it?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::shrugs:: CEO: You asked me not to shoot them and wanted me to deal with them. I just saved them like you asked.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::answers the hail::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: Damage looks minimal at this point

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  He wants me...us... to have the Gecko.

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
#<SB_OPS> COM: Pendragon: Pendragon, is there a reason you have decided to transport VOLES to us?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
COM: SB_OPS:  Actually a very good one.  We got them from you so we thought we'd return the favour.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: So you are supposed to take him back to Ravenscar and return to the Pen with the Gecko? That's a generous offer, but why does he think we need his ship?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::is glad he doesn't have to answer that::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
#<SB_OPS> COM: Pendragon: Can you prove this?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks around:: COM: SB_OPS:  I believe our Chief Engineer can.  ::motions to the CEO::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  Not us, Captain.  The entire sector.  He believes the Gecko will be instrumental in capturing the Gothric.

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
#<SB_OPS> COM: Pendragon: Please, I would like to see the proof.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: I see. Do you believe him?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Where did you get the Voles, Lt?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#::blinks::  CO:  Yes Captain.  I have perfect faith in him and the Order.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*SB_OPS*: This ship was confirmed as having ONLY the life forms that were supposed to be on it when we docked. There is no other place we could have gotten them other than your station. Just let them into the arboretum. Doubtless they are from your vegetative habitats

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
#<SB_OPS> COM: Pendragon: The Admiral will hear about this, you could have at least transported them in a safe place! ::cuts the comm::

TO_Lt_Newind says:

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Lt ... answer my question.  Where on the station did you transport them to?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: All right. Mikal, if we are to work together as an effective team, there must be trust between us. You tell me that escorting Thisah home and returning with the Gecko will give us a way to capture the Gothric. I accept this on trust. You have my authorization to proceed. 

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: The arboretum, amongst the plant life

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  Is there anything about the Pendragon's orders I should know?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::chuckles:: CEO/TO:  That should keep them occupied for a while.  Continue preparations for departure

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: Aye

TO_Lt_Newind says:
OPS: You got it.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: I haven't seen them myself, yet. The Admiral has by now transmitted them to the Pen. All I know is that we are due to depart in just under six hours.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#~~~CMO:  Never mind.  I told him.  Take good care of yourself until we meet again.~~~

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::thinks she's gonna get it from the Captain once he finds out what has just happened::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: I'll be right back. I need to secure this Vole, then ask the doctor about having her 'operation' ::covers the Voles ears as he says this::

Host CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CNS: Just take care of yourself, Mikal. I expect to see you back soon... and well.~~~

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
#CO:  Is that everything, Captain?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Just make sure we don't get a repeat performance.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# CNS: Check in with the Pen once an hour, Commander. Safe journey.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: It's as good as done

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
