Host Coot says:
Las time on the USS Pendragon....

Host Coot says:
What began as a surveillance mission erupted into the potential for war.  A Romulan vessel receiving a transport from the surface made a break for the outer planets.

Host Coot says:
Not wanting the best case for evidence escape them, the Pendragon disabled the vessel and moved in to investigate.

Host Coot says:
The Away Team on the surface encountered their share of problems and forced to flee.  A surface cannon has opened fire on them, but the Gecko has kept the shuttle safe thus far. How much longer this protection holds up is unknown.  Yet bigger problems are emerging from the fissures of the moon.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at the status displays and the view screen with a mixture of shock and anger ::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::sits on the bridge knowing she's gonna cop it now::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks up from the tactical station to the Captain and then back down at the display:: ~~~OPS: On a scale of one to ten, how angry is he?~~~

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::is on Deck 7::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A Romulan vessel slips out from the crack in the moon, targeting the garbage scow.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks around::: ~~~ CMO:  I don't know ... I haven't asked him yet ... and I'm not going to.  I'm waiting till he explodes ~~~

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::looking round the bridge, wondering what’s going on::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO:  Position?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::looks through the windows of the shuttle anxiously::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: Well... I can sense it coming.~~~ ::tries to sound a bit... light hearted even though she really isn't::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::turns to the scanners:: CSO:  Romulan Warbird incoming ... it's targeting the scow.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Captain, the Romulan vessel has locked on the garbage scow!

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Approaching coordinates now, Sir!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Move us to within 500 meters of that scow.  OPS: Extend our shields to protect the scow. Open a channel to the attacking Romulan vessel.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::moves from the tactical station over to flight and moves the ship within 500 meters of the scow:: CO: Aye, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO:  Full stop.  Run a discrete sensor sweep and see if we're being tailed.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::opens the channel:: CO:  Channel open ...

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::decides to go to the bridge and see what is happening there::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CEO:  We don't have much longer, Jose.  Is there anything more we can do here?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Rom: Romulan vessel. The scow is under our protection. Break off your attack or be fired upon.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::enters the nearest turbo lift:: Computer: Bridge.

FCO_Morgan says:
@FCO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Target the warbird's engines. Fire on my order only.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::grabs the edge of his seat::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: Not that I can see.

FCO_Morgan says:
@::taps in the sensor data and begins a low level sweep::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Weapons fire explodes 5,000 meters from the shuttle's position.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::sees the ship is in position and extends shields::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: The Romulan Vessel is very old. I thought they were out of commission.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: This is really getting a bit strange not being busy but then again I am only on detached duty for now.  ::shakes head::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Scan the vessel. See if there's a weakness we can exploit to stop her without firing.

FCO_Morgan says:
@::jumps:: XO: Weapons fire, 5000 meters port, Sir!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::watches the weapon fire::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: Hm.....I wonder how my sisters are doing.  I hope they are doing better than me at this point.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::watches what is going on from the flight console, preparing for very limited evasives::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: lets hope we have a ship to return to

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO:  Move us a smidge more, then cut all power except life support.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::exits the turbo lift and steps onto the bridge::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::scans warship::

Host Coot says:
<Rom WB> COMM: You have no business here - this matter is an internal dispute.  Leave now or be fired upon.

FCO_Morgan says:
@::nods:: XO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CEO:  I don't want to lead them back to the ship.  The Pendragon must remain hidden.

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Powering down now, Sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Rom: COMM: We're not going anywhere. I have no wish to engage you, but I cannot allow you to destroy the scow and the people aboard her. Break off your attack. This is your final warning.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: Hopefully the blackout will work

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::pauses as she hears 'internal dispute' and wonders if it is a faction of Romulans on the planet::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO/CEO:  Let's wait a few minutes.  No scans.   Just look out the windows.  ::grins bleakly::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::watches with interest as to what is transpiring on the bridge::

Host Coot says:
<Rom WB> COMM: The scow is our property and what's been destroyed is beyond your saving.  ::cuts comm::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Anything?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Not yet sir

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@::looks out the forward view screen::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::waits nervously::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: We're out of time.   CMO: Disable the warbird's engines.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO/CEO:  Is it the engines, do you think?

FCO_Morgan says:
@::is staying perfectly still::

Host Coot says:
ACITON: The Bird of Prey fires upon the scow.  Most is deflected by the Pendragon's shields.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Her weapons are linked directly to her engines. That’s all I got

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::pauses and then targets their engines:: CO: Aye, sir. Firing now. ::fires on the warbird's engines::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: No...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::remembers to breath::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::moves her hands along the controls as she monitors the damage to the Romulan Warbird::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The BoP is hit by phaser fire and quickly turns tail.  She vanishes in a cloak, headed for the moon.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO:  Power up impulse engines.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Captain, they've cloaked...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Maintain position. The Warbird may make another run at the scow.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::well that was interesting::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Mr. Toms, you have the conn. Defend this ship if fired upon. Otherwise, take no action.    OPS: Ready room. Now.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Aye sir

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO; Sir do you need another set of hands?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CIV: Assist as directed by Commander Toms, please.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at the captain and knows he is upset::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::hands over his station to another officer and moves to the center seat::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::gets up and heads to the RR::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::continues to monitor for the warbird:: ~~~OPS: Good luck...If you need me, I'll be there.~~~

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: What in the world did I just walk into?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The remaining vessels in orbit enter the planet's atmosphere and head for a location in the Northern hemisphere.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: Did I say something wrong to the captain?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CIV: Status on us, and our friends out there?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: enters the RR behind Jordan, waits for the door to close behind them ::

FCO_Morgan says:
@::does as asked::

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Engines online in five seconds, Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CIV: No, Lieutenant. ::says with a smile:: CIV: He just has other things on his mind.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: Condition green across the board

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::takes the OPS station:: CSO: Status is still the same sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: closes his eyes and takes a deep breath... quite obviously working to quell an outburst ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Commander, I doubt that the Romulans will stay away from us for long. We should be prepared for another attack.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CIV: Thank you. ::watches the view screen::

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Ready for orders, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CEO/FCO:  We need to return to the ship, if there is nothing more to be done here.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: Agreed. What do you propose?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: speaks quietly, but with steel in his voice ::  OPS: Give me one good reason why I should not instantly relieve you of duty and have you confined to quarters... if not the brig.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::sensing emotions he begins to tune them out before they over take him::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@::nods:: XO: I say we get back on board while we can

FCO_Morgan says:
@::taps a panel:: XO: No active scanning detected, Sir. They have apparently called off the search.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CEO:  Scan for the Pendragon.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: We could easily scan for tachyon particles, which would let us know if a cloaked vessel is heading our way. I would also suggest checking on the status of the Away Team, they've been gone for a while.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Because that ship has over 100 innocent people on it ... people the Romulans intend to use as slaves ... I do not intend to allow that.  Throw me in the brig if you want ... I really don't care anymore.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: Sounds good. Check for the particles. CIV: Please find out what’s going on with the AT.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: We also could try using a neutrino field as well to augment the tachyon particles.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@::scans for the Pendragon:: XO Aye

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CIV: I'll get right on it, Lieutenant. ::begins to scan for the particles first::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO:  Set course when Lieutenant Damien has the coordinates.

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: I have the Pendragon’s position. Relaying to flight control

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: *I* care, Jordan. I care about the slave operation here. We were sent to gather intelligence so it could be stopped. We were not sent to take precipitous action that could endanger lives -- on the planet and on this ship.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@:;relays to flight control::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CSO: Romulan warbirds and Klingon warbirds have the same thing in common.  When they are cloaked you will find a huge neutrino surge and it is what gives them away.

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Coordinates received and laid in, Sir. ETA three minutes.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::slumps back in his seat::  FCO:  Engage.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CIV: Encouraging.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  And how long does that take?  How many more innocent lives are going to be lost while we are gathering intelligence.  Tell me that!

FCO_Morgan says:
@::taps the panel:: XO: Engaged, Sir.

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Maintain radio silence?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: They're 100,00 kilometers beyond the natural satellite they've been using for cover

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO:  Until we're a little closer, yes.  I'm sure they'll see us coming.  ::sighs::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::sighs:: CSO: Commander, there is no way to ascertain the exact location of that warbird, it seems the entire moon is full of them. So, there could be several ships within the fissures.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: Not so encouraging

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::thinks::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: There are reasons for our orders, Jordan. You should know that. Since the death of Praetor Shinzon, the Federation has been working hard to forge a detente, if not actual friendly relations, with a Romulan Empire that's been shaken to its core. That effort is seriously endangered when a Federation ship starts firing on Romulan vessels.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors are detecting the particles as expected around the moon.  Everything else has gone quiet on sensors.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CSO: If I am not mistaking, Romulan warbirds use artificial singularities as their basic propulsion system correct?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Not at all, Commander. There isn't anything we can do right now but wait. ::looks over sensors:: CSO: Odd, Commander. I'm only picking up the particles and nothing else around this area.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::feels the weight of depression settle on him while he thinks about the situation on the planet::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Oh really.  Then I'm not sure I want to be in Starfleet anymore ... you're making these people expendable so you can further your relations with the Romulans?  Then I quit! ::takes off her pips, throws them on the table and storms out of the RR::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CIV: I don't know off the top of my head sorry, but I’m sure the computer will know.

FCO_Morgan says:
@XO: Entering sensor range, Sir. ETA one minute to rendezvous.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: When you say nothing else, what exactly do you mean?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at the pips on the table, stunned ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Sensors are quiet... nothing of interest at.. ::turns as she hears the Ready Room doors open::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CSO: Well if I am correct, we might be able to fine-tune the sensors to pick up the frequencies they give off.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::storms off the bridge into the turbo lift::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@FCO:  Request permission to dock.  ::sighs::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::turns head and realizes something is not correct::

FCO_Morgan says:
*Pen*: Shuttle V'ndor requesting permission to dock, bay three.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CEO/FCO:  Maybe the ship has received further orders from Starfleet.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::raises an eyebrow as she watches her:: ~~~OPS: Jordan, what's going on?~~~

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO:  you really think they'd leave us?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CIV: Let them on.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: exits the Ready Room... crosses slowly to the center of the Bridge, sits down heavily in the  command chair as Toms vacates it ::

Host Coot says:
<SB> *FCO* Permission granted.  Begin approach, bay three.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CEO:  Not us.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::heads to SCI1 and takes over again::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::enters her quarters absolutely fuming ... ::

FCO_Morgan says:
@*Pen*: Thanks, beginning sequence now.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::sighs::  FCO/CEO:  That was nice work.  Both of you.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks from the Captain back to her console:: ~~~OPS: Jordan, please talk to me. What happened in there?~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: in a tired voice :: CIV: Mr. Rochelle... you have some OPS training, I believe?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@XO: Then you're referring to the slave trade going on? Maybe they were told to leave it alone. ::grim::

FCO_Morgan says:
@::sees that the XO's aura is dark and dismal and feels very badly for him::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ CMO:  I quit. ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CEO:  If that's the case, then something will have to be done by private citizens of the universe.  ::looks grim as well::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: Quit, like for the day? Or...~~~ ::pauses as her face goes a bit blank:: ~~~OPS: You can't quit, Jordan!~~~

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
@::cheerful they are returning to the ship, wonders about the dour look on the FCO's face::

FCO_Morgan says:
@::brings the shuttle in safely and begins to power it down::

FCO_Morgan says:
@::glances briefly at the CEO and frowns::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Nice landing.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::taps his commbadge::  *Sickbay*:  One to transport.  ::looks at the still sleeping TO::

FCO_Morgan says:
XO: Thank you, sir. Shuttle is now powered down, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::begins stuffing things into a suitcase ... ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> *XO*: Transport where, sir?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::flips a few switches so they can disembark::

FCO_Morgan says:
*CIV*: Shuttle V'ndor docked.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Yes sir I do.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Combs*:  A biobed?  I think he's all right, but he's been asleep for a long time.  Someone should monitor him.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
*FCO*: Understood V'ndor

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the hatch open::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Shuttle V'ndor is docked.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Particle emissions around the moon are dropping off.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CIV: Effective immediately, you are appointed the acting OPS officer.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks toward the Captain for a moment, hoping to meet his eye:: CO: Captain?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::disembarks:: XO: Any orders before I go back to engineering?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::blinks:: CO: Understood sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> *XO*: Understood, sir. I was just wondering what was wrong. ::says with a hint of humor as she watches the TO materialize on Biobed Three::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: Now this is going to be an interesting day to say the least.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the TO dematerialize::  FCO/CEO:  Report to the bridge and brief the Captain.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Yes, Doctor?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
XO: Aye

FCO_Morgan says:
::nods:: XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::leaves for the bridge::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: Mikal, I need you to do something for me... please.~~~ CO: Do you have a minute to speak, privately?

FCO_Morgan says:
::follows the CEO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:   Anything you need that I can give is already yours.~~~  ::exits the shuttle::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::reacquaints himself with the controls again quickly::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: Find Jordan and talk to her... she is planning on leaving and I feel she is not going to wait.~~~

FCO_Morgan says:
::is picking up on some disturbing vibes....and is struggling to place them::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Self:  Leaving?  ::remains in the shuttle bay::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::enters the turbo lift and leans against the wall:: TL: Bridge

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::finishes packing ... exits her quarters with her case heading for the shuttle bay::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:   Jordan.  I need to speak to you.~~~

FCO_Morgan says:
::realizes it is Jordan Thraxis and that there is something really weird going on there::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: TO Newind's life signs are becoming erratic and faint.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: gets up from the chair :: CMO: All right, Doctor. Ready room.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::pauses as she hears the Biobed's sensors begin to go off:: Self: What? ::begins to scan the TO::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::stands up from the flight control console and moves into the CO's Ready Room::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~::listens::~~~

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO:  I don't feel like talking ~~~

FCO_Morgan says:
::hesitates::

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: Um...Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  Meet with me, please.  As a friend.~~~

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: I am picking up something really strange from OPS...you need to check on her now, sir.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As Jordan walks along, the hallway begins to warp in her field of view.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: sits down behind his desk... looks twenty years older :: CMO: Quickly, please, Doctor.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*FCO*:  Where is she?  Do you know?  ::beginning to get very worried::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::working frantically with her other medics, noticing that he is going into a coma::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
:;seeing the captain is not there, takes his station on the bridge, is itching to get back to engineering::

FCO_Morgan says:
::stumbles slightly as a wave of dizziness overwhelms her as she concentrates on Jordan::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::senses feelings that shouldn't be there:: Self: Something is not right here.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::doesn't stop ... ::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::shakes his head to clear his thoughts::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Permission to speak freely, sir? ::remains standing::

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: Deck...twelve.....hallway. East end......

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Computer:  Location of Commander Thraxis?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Granted.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::breaks into a run::  *FCO*:  Thank you.

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: Just hurry, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::takes off her comm badge and throws it away ... ::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::thinking he begins to do an internal scan of the ship::

FCO_Morgan says:
::shakes herself and briskly walks onto the bridge, not making eye contact with anyone.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Captain, I don't know what went on between you and Jordan, but she was right in her actions regarding the Romulans. Even if you disagree, she is your wife and I know that you don't want her to leave... so go talk to her.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::runs down the corridors on deck 12::  ~~~OPS:  Jordan.  I'm coming.~~~

Host Coot says:
<CPU> XO: Cmdr Thraxis is on Deck 12.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::sighs as she moves away from the Biobed:: Barns: There isn't anything we can do for him. He is in a deep coma, from what, I am uncertain. Keep him monitored closely and I'll contact Doctor Yates.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::knows exactly what she is going to do ... enters the shuttle bay and heads for one of the shuttles::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> Combs: Understood, Doctor. ::sighs as she looks down at the young Lieutenant::

FCO_Morgan says:
::takes her seat::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*FCO*:  Lock down the shuttle bay.  No one leaves.  ::keeps running::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan collapses onto the floor of the shuttle bay.  Her suitcase spills open in the process.

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: Understood, sir. ::fingers fly across the panel::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Doctor, Commander Thraxis has disobeyed direct orders from both Starfleet Command and myself. Regardless of the reasons for her decision to do so, there are consequences to that action. As for talking to her... now is not the time. Putting aside the fact that the ship could come under attack again at any moment, she is not ready to hear me.  :: pause... more to himself than to Yates :: She may never be ready to hear me...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::runs into the shuttle bay and sees Jordan laying there::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Sickbay*:  Beam Commander Thraxis to sickbay and restrain her.

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: Shuttles secured, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::runs to her and kneels::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan's breathing is erratic and there is a small amount of blood trickling from her nose.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks directly into the Captain's eyes:: CO: Captain, I understand that orders were disobeyed, but at the time she was in command of the Pendragon. ::pauses:: CO: That is not even the issue right now. She is your wife, Captain, and she is planning on leaving now, not waiting.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Jordan.  Speak to me.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::is unconscious on the floor::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes her hand::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::pauses as she hears the order:: *XO*: Understood, sir. ::moves over to the medical console and transports OPS to Sickbay::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stands :: CMO: Doctor, I appreciate your concern... but my duty is clear. Will there be anything else?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels her hand dematerialize, then slowly gets back to his feet::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan is transported to Sickbay.  Looks like Mikal will have to run however.

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: Should I notify the Captain, sir?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::sighs:: CO: No, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*FCO*:  I'll do it.

FCO_Morgan says:
*XO*: Understood, Sir.....and...thank you, for believing me.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> *CMO*: Sickbay to Yates! Doctor, we could use a hand down here. ::runs over to OPS::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Very well.    :: returns to the bridge ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Jordan has been transferred to Sickbay.  It's doesn't look good.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::taps her Combadge:: *Combs*: I'll be there shortly, Lieutenant. ::exits the Ready Room:: FCO: Lieutenant, please transport me to Sickbay.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::kneels down and begins repacking Jordan's suitcase::
