Jolade:  Is does not matter what they think.  My decisions are final and anyone that feels the need to disobey them can spend the rest of their service in the brig.  ::eyes each officer that is on the bridge in turn::
OPS_Zax says:
*CMO*: Please meet all senior officers in the obs lounge
CEOWilken says:

CO_Vn`dor says:
Jolade:  Now, what I would like to know is, do you plan on helping us return to "Our Homes"  after we return you to yours?
CMO_Varr says:
::hmms over the orders then taps his badge:: *OPS* Understood.  I am on my way.

CEOWilken says:
FCO: Please put your phaser away... The last thing we need is another incident.
OPS_Zax says:
CO: Do you still want the senior staff to report to the obs lounge, Sir?
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Should I put it down sir?
CMO_Varr says:
MO Turner: ::standing from behind his desk orders still in hand::  I will speak to the captain about this.  Not that I am not grateful for the help.  ::walking into the main sickbay::  Nurse Joclyn will familiarize you with our current operating procedures.  We will speak more when I return.
CO_Vn`dor says:
Jolade:  Within our lifetime?  What exactly does that mean?
CSO_Larek says:
::sees the CEO approach::CEO: Greetings sir.
CTO_Vidal says:
::stand there, feeling ignored by the CO::
CO_Vn`dor says:
OPS:  Bring them to the bridge for now.

::stands at attention, deciding at last on silence and patience::
OPS_Zax says:
*CMO*: The captain requests your presence on the bridge instead, Sir
FCO_Tim says:
::turns over to look at console after hearing a noise::
CEOWilken says:
CSO: Larek, the XO would like us to work out the details of bringing the Main Computer core online...::Falters::... Flo was... I already have one of my EO's working it out right now... how would you like to proceed?
MOTurner says:
CMO: Understood sir. If it is okay with you I would rather accompany you. I am already familiar with SB operations.
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir he has laid us in a course
MOTurner says:
::Following CMO::
Jolade says:
CO:  A return trip using your warp capacity at full would almost be 40 years, I will show you the technology to make the trip in 3 days.
OPS_Zax says:
*All Senior Staff*: Report to the bridge please.
CSO_Larek says:
CEO: Well we should reinitialize the entire system before attempting to reload the backups.
CO_Vn`dor says:
Jolade:  I would have to run all the details through my staff for analysis first.  I hope you understand after all that has happened here lately?
OPS_Zax says:
::looks at CEO:: CEO: Any orders, Sir?
CEOWilken says:
OPS: One moment, please.
OPS_Zax says:
::nods::
CMO_Varr says:
::stopping and turning to the MO::  Mo Turner: Thank you.  Your enthusiasm is noted but badly placed.  This is a senior staff meeting, and you would be better served in becoming familiar with the staff who you will be working along side than joining me in such a meeting.  My orders stand.
EO_Green says:
::sees that the system is ready, but wants the CEO's ok to begin backup, so switches to the replicator problem...gotta make spare parts somehow::
CEOWilken says:
CSO: That was exactly the XO's recommendation... and I fully agree...
Jolade says:
CO:  So my Captain, without me, you may not see your home quadrant in your lifetime, your ship may very well become a multi-generational ship.
CTO_Vidal says:
::she decides to make her stand, and leaves the bridge:: CO : I'll be in the brig.. SIR...
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir Jolade is taking us to his home planet.  He has some how gotten into our nav. computer.
CSO_Larek says:
CEO: How far has the other engineers gotten on the procedures sir?
CO_Vn`dor says:
FCO: That is ok Ensign.  Just monitor everything he does closely and keep me advised.
XO_Vrayll says:
::grabs his PADD and double-checks his report::
CTO_Vidal says:
::steamed, she takes a TL to the brig::
CEOWilken says:
OPS: For right now, simply maintain an active eye on any and all communications channels; in case we're alone... also, later, I may need your help in repairing the Main Computer.
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::stares at Jolade then sits at the conn and puts phaser away::
CMO_Varr says:
MO Turner: Now if you will excuse me, I need to report to the bridge.  ::turns and again begins to make his way to the bridge::
CO_Vn`dor says:
::walks over to the counselor:: CNS:  Ensign, do you sense any ill intent from Jolade?
OPS_Zax says:
CEO: Aye, Sir
CSO_Larek says:
::scans the surrounding sector::
Jolade says:
::Dematerializes off the bridge, in order to obtain additional nourishment::
FCO_Tim says:
::monitors course selected by Jolade::
CNS_Lee says:
CO:  no sir, not for now.  But I'm watching him
OPS_Zax says:
::monitoring all communication relays::
CEOWilken says:
CSO: I have little information on his progress, other than he is close to re-establishing partial control over our replicators.
CTO_Vidal says:
::reaches the brig:: Duty Ensign : Open one of the cells..
CO_Vn`dor says:
::nods at the CNS::  CNS:  Please see to the CTO.  I think she could use your specialties more than I at this moment.  ::grins lightly::
CTO_Vidal says:
<Duty ensign> Vigal : Sir? How come?
XO_Vrayll says:
::steps up quietly to the CO:: CO: My report, sir.
CNS_Lee says:
CO:  Yes Sir ::heads to CTO' location::
CTO_Vidal says:
Duty Ensign : just do it.. And lock it when i get in there...
MOTurner says:
CMO:Aye sir. ::Dejected
CTO_Vidal says:
<Duty ensign> Vigal : Sir? ::puzzled look on his face::
FCO_Tim says:
::still monitoring selected course carefully::
MOTurner says:
:;Heads to Sick Bay::
CO_Vn`dor says:
XO:  Please do so Commander.  What do you have for me?
CMO_Varr says:
::the lift doors open depositing him on the bridge, a mecca of senior staff, conferring with each other over something that obviously Varr just missed.::
EO_Green says:
*CEO*: Sir, I have completed reconfiguring the computer core. We are ready to initialize at your command. In the meantime, I'm working on replication.
CTO_Vidal says:
Duty Ensign : DO IT NOW:. That's an order...
MOTurner says:
::Reenters SB::
XO_Vrayll says:
CO: My report. ::hands him his ever-present PADD:: I believe we may be able to get some use out of the core after all.
Jolade says:
::Materializes in a conduit on Deck 6, frame 20, section 27 and begins feeding on a neural gel pack::
CEOWilken says:
CSO: Excuse me, please...::Touches his badge::... *EO*: Excellent work, Ensign... Wilkens out.
CTO_Vidal says:
::he does so, and Vigal enters her brig, and sits there.. Waiting for her Captain to at least acknowledge he should at least keep her filled in on what’s happening..::
CSO_Larek says:
CEO: Well than the core should be ready to reload the backups sir.
CO_Vn`dor says:
::quickly scans over PADD::  XO: Good.  Have the Engineering team assisted with Science to get to work on it after this meeting.
CEOWilken says:
::Moves over to one of the AFT Engineering panels. Touches a series of control studs, studying the results of the diagnostics he had the EO run::
CMO_Varr says:
::moves over to Zax:: OPS: ::speaking softly:: Are we meeting here instead?
CO_Vn`dor says:
All on bridge: Could I have everyone's attention please?
FCO_Tim says:
::still monitors selected course, does not really trust Jolade::
XO_Vrayll says:
CO: I have already instructed them to do so.
OPS_Zax says:
CMO: Yes, Sir
CMO_Varr says:

CSO_Larek says:

CEOWilken says:
CSO: yes... however, I'm still wary regarding the status of our bio neural gell packs, and the stability of...::Lets his voice trail off::

EO_Green says:

CO_Vn`dor says:
ALL:  With all that we have been through as of late I think there wouldn't be a time more appropriate than now for this...
CEOWilken says:
*EO*: A... degradation...? One moment, please...
CNS_Lee says:
::Arrives at brig::CTO:  Are you alright?
XO_Vrayll says:
::curious now...::
CEOWilken says:
::Mutes his Com channel, and refocuses his attention on the Captain::
CTO_Vidal says:

FCO_Tim says:
::wonders what CO will say next::
OPS_Zax says:
::waiting::
CO_Vn`dor says:
All:  Before this entire problem with the M-5 computer, I had finally received confirmation from Starfleet.  XO: Commander Vraylle, please step forward.
CNS_Lee says:
::raises an eyebrow::CTO:  true.  Wanna talk about it?
XO_Vrayll says:
::raises an eyebrow, but promptly steps forward...::
CSO_Larek says:
::watches::
FCO_Tim says:
::wonder what is going on::
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : well.. There's nothing to talk about really... Some being takes over our ship, kills off some of our crew, and now the CO's helping him get home? ::shakes her head:: How can he be doing that?
OPS_Zax says:
::begins to smile::
CO_Vn`dor says:
::holding out a small box to the XO::  XO:  For service above and beyond during the Cardassian plague, I would like to award you this Commendation for Service.  ::opens the box and extends it to the XO::
CEOWilken says:
::Nods, silently applauds, before consulting his PADD for further information on the Computer Core::
XO_Vrayll says:
::nods appropriately and takes the box:: CO: Thank you sir.
FCO_Tim says:
::Smiles proudly::
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Were in transwarp leaving Federation space and only Jolade can get us home or it could be something else.  The CO's reasons are his own.  I've been asking myself the same question as well, why would he help him?  It could be exploration in a way.
FCO_Tim says:
::applauds::
OPS_Zax says:
::smiles at XO::
CO_Vn`dor says:
::motions for the XO to step to the COs right side::  CEO/CSO/CMO:  Please step forward.
XO_Vrayll says:
::steps aside as indicated::
FCO_Tim says:
All:  Now lets all get drunk in his honor.  ::says sarcastically::
CEOWilken says:
::Raises his eyebrow, places his PADD back on the surface of his panel... does as the CO asks::
CSO_Larek says:
::steps forward toward the captain and stops at attention::
CMO_Varr says:
::raises an eyebrow but steps forward with the other two::
CTO_Vidal says:
::she shakes her head:: CNS : That is no reason to ignore your senior Tactical officer.. As he did..
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : He should have at least explained his reasons.. Then i might not have taken this stand..
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  His reasons are his own.  We all have a right to privacy.
CO_Vn`dor says:
::handing the XO two boxes::  CEO/CSO/CMO:  Starfleet has seen fit to award you for your superior efforts in finding a cure for the Cardassian people.  It is with great pride that I award you Commendations for Service

CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : Not when your actions affect the lives of others.. Lives for which i am responsible as the CTO!! ::almost shouting this last remark::
FCO_Tim says:

CSO_Larek says:
::takes the box:: CO: Thank you sir.
EO_Green says:
::notes the power drain has stabilized, and goes back to replication diagnostics::
CEOWilken says:
::Accepts the box, and extends his hands to both the CSO and CMO:: Congratulations to you both.
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Calm down.  The captain is aware that his actions affect the crew, wouldn't you think so?
FCO_Tim says:
CSO: Way to go Larek.
CO_Vn`dor says:
All: One more official function to perform for today.  ::looking at the CSO::  CSO:  Ensign will you remain please.  ::smiling::
OPS_Zax says:
::smiles at the officers in congratulations::
CSO_Larek says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Yes sir.
FCO_Tim says:
All: Now we have to get drunk 3 times for every one!!!!
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : I do not know.. He was not worrying about how his actions, or lack thereof, would affect me...
CEOWilken says:
::Stands back::
OPS_Zax says:
::frowns at FCO::
CO_Vn`dor says:
CSO:  For continuously showing us what it means to be a superior officer, I am very happy to promote you to Lt(jg) Larek.  ::hands the XO the box containing the new pip::
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Perhaps he likes to think about his actions in private.  Balancing and Counterbalancing everything.  I do that a lot.
CEOWilken says:
::Claps, more loudly this time::
XO_Vrayll says:
::presents the open box to the CSO, with another handshake::
OPS_Zax says:
::claps::
EO_Green says:
::sees one of the main feeder relays from matter storage has burned out and needs to be bypassed, begins working on it::
FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Why the frown?  It a Canadian tradition.
FCO_Tim says:
::claps::
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : Right now.. I don't really give a darn to what you do, or not do..
CMO_Varr says:
::extends his hand to the other three honorees:: Congratulations to you all.
CEOWilken says:
CMO: Thank you, Doctor...
CSO_Larek says:
::takes the box and returns the XO handshake:: CO,XO: Thank you sir.
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  I am aware of that.  Then what do you care about?
XO_Vrayll says:
CSO: Congratulations, Lieutenant.
Jolade says:
::Materializes in the Excillory Bridge, deck 12, behind the bulkhead in between the consoles and begins work::
CO_Vn`dor says:
::extends his hand to Lt(jg) Larek::  CSO: Congratulations.  ::smiles::
CNS_Lee says:
::senses joy radiating from the bridge but ignores it and focus's on the task at hand::
CSO_Larek says:
ALL: Thank you everyone. ::shakes the CO’s hand::
CEOWilken says:
::Steps back, again, and touches his badge. Places the small box on his console:: *EO*: Sorry for the delay... what were you saying about a malfunction...?
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : I care about my people.. I care about being apprised to what is happening around me.. And i care to understand the actions of people, even though i do not approve of them..
FCO_Tim says:
CSO: Good job Larek
OPS_Zax says:
::returns to monitoring comm system::
CO_Vn`dor says:
All:  Now that the ceremony is over, let's see if we can get ourselves home.  ::smiling wryly::
FCO_Tim says:
CSO: Lt.JG Larek
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Then you should ask the captain to talk about it then.
CEOWilken says:
CO: Hear hear, Sir
OPS_Zax says:
CEO: Sir, I am picking up some form of transmission.
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : I tried.. He ignored me...
FCO_Tim says:
::returns to post::
CSO_Larek says:
::returns to his post::
CEOWilken says:
OPS: Transmission? What's it's origin?
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Maybe you should bring it to his attention more then once.
CO_Vn`dor says:
::looks around for Jolade in the small crowd::
EO_Green says:
*CEO*: Sir, I monitored a small degradation in a gel-pak on deck 6, but it stabilized, so I'm working on bypassing the burned-out matter transfer relay for the replicators. Should have it online soon.
CEOWilken says:
CO: Sir... we have a problem...
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Any orders sir?
OPS_Zax says:
CEO: Unknown Sir..can't get a fix on it
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : Do you not think arresting myself would be enough for him to notice something is wrong?
CEOWilken says:
*EO*: I see... excellent work, as always... keep me appraised, of the smallest details.
CEOWilken says:
OPS: Hmmm...
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  maybe but he also might think you lost your marbles.
CO_Vn`dor says:
CEO:  A problem?  ::walks over to the CEO looking curious::
EO_Green says:
*CEO*: Aye sir. Out.
XO_Vrayll says:
::follows the captain, also curious...::
CSO_Larek says:
XO: Sir I've scanned the surrounding sector, it is a binary system with 12 planets.
CEOWilken says:
CO: Well, Captain... I'm sure Zax has more details, but, apparently, she is detecting an unidentified communications signal... it's source is unknown, as of yet...
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : I will not leave this brig until he at least acknowledges my concerns.. They are valid ones..
OPS_Zax says:
::attempting to boost input::
XO_Vrayll says:
CSO: Anything of interest in the system?
CTO_Vidal says:
CSN : You go tell him that.. I'm sure he sent you here in the first pace...
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Very well, I will bring it to his attention.
CTO_Vidal says:

CO: And, my...::Remembers Flo::... Mr. Green has detected unusual errors, regarding our bioneural gel packs...; apparently, the problem resolved itself...

CEOWilken says:
::Turns away from the Captain, faltering for a long moment::
CO_Vn`dor says:
CEO: Resolved itself?  How!?
CMO_Varr says:
::moves back over to ops:: OPS: Would it be distracting to ask for information on what our status is currently?  I fear I have missed something having been in the lower bowels of this vessel.
OPS_Zax says:

CO: I am getting it too only weak and on the nav. sensor.
CEOWilken says:
CO: I... I wish I knew Sir...::Turns back to him::... Apparently, there was some kind of power drain/outage... I have no further details.
OPS_Zax says:
CO: Appears to be coming from the binary system ahead, Sir
CO_Vn`dor says:
XO: Where's Jolade?
OPS_Zax says:
CMO: One minute
CSO_Larek says:
XO: The communication seems to originate from the system, no precise position as of yet.
CNS_Lee says:
::Arrives on bridge and walks right up to the captain::
CO_Vn`dor says:
FCO:  Plot course for that system and initiate.
XO_Vrayll says:
::surprised that he should know:: CO: He disappeared a few minutes ago.
CEOWilken says:

OPS: ::stopping to thank her:: Thank you.  CEO: Yes?
CSO_Larek says:
CEO: Once the loading of the backup commences on the computer it will take three days to be operational.
OPS_Zax says:
::smiles: CMO: No, problem
CO_Vn`dor says:
CNS:  I have no time to worry about every officer that cannot control themselves.  If she hasn't noticed, we are 30,000 LYs from home and we can't waste time crying over those that have died.
OPS_Zax says:
::attempting to pinpoint origin of the signal::
Jolade says:
*CO*: You have changed course, WHY?
CO_Vn`dor says:
XO: Disappeared?  Great.
CEOWilken says:
CMO: I had the.. I had Mr. Anderson transferred to Sick Bay, as to the apparent degradation of his condition... as soon as possible, I would like a report on his status...
CNS_Lee says:
CO:  That you didn't talk to her when she requested you to talk to her and now she's arrested herself and put herself in the brig hoping you'll finally notice her.
EO_Green says:
*CEO*: Sir, I have power restored to the replicator, but I can't really do much more until the main computer is online. The problem is memory allocation.
XO_Vrayll says:
::reaches toward the CSO's panel:: CSO: If I may?
FCO_Tim says:
::monitoring signal on the nav. sensors::
CEOWilken says:
::Nods:: *EO*: Understood... your efforts are greatly appreciated...
CEOWilken says:
CSO: Understood.
CO_Vn`dor says:
*Jolade*:  We are investigating a signal in a binary star system.  I assumed it was your home planet and you were not around to confirm or deny.
FCO_Tim says:
CO: ETA in 10 minutes at our present speed sir
CSO_Larek says:
XO: Yes sir by all means.::moves aside for the XO::
EO_Green says:
*CEO*: Thank you Sir. Out. ::moves to the holodeck problem::
OPS_Zax says:
::running signal through UT::
Jolade says:
*CO*:  The signal is errant, disregard it.  Return to my base course.
XO_Vrayll says:
::steps in and taps into his own sensor algorithms and feeds the navigation signal through them, hoping for a more specific interpretation::
CMO_Varr says:
::nodding:: CEO:  I have my staff treating him for shock as we speak.  I will inform you of any change in his condition.
CNS_Lee says:
CO:  She also wants to know why your helping Jolade get home?
CEOWilken says:
::Nods:: CMO: Thank you, Mr. Varr.
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir ETA in 10 minutes air at current speed
CO_Vn`dor says:
CNS: If she cannot control her emotions and act like a Starfleet Officer then that is where she should stay.
OPS_Zax says:
::recording signal as per SOP::
CMO_Varr says:
CEO:  Is there anything else you need?
CNS_Lee says:
CO:  Very well, I will tell her that, Sir.  If you don't mind I'll head to the Brig.
XO_Vrayll says:
::surprised that his programs have no effect, steps back aside:: CSO: Carry on.
CO_Vn`dor says:
CNS:  ::moving to the CNS and whispering::  Because he is our only hope of getting home
FCO_Tim says:
::tying to pinpoint signal using nav, sensors::
CSO_Larek says:
XO: Thank you sir:: goes back to scanning the system::
CEOWilken says:
CMO: Not at this time; I do appreciate it.
CNS_Lee says:
CO: :: whisperes back::  I'll tell her you said so but she didn't believe me when I told her that
CEOWilken says:
::Pauses, as the Doctor moves away:: CMO: Well... actually, now that you mention it...
CSO_Larek says:
CEO: Shall I start the reloading procedures on the computer or wait sir.
CMO_Varr says:
::attempting a smile but not quite succeeding:: CEO: Yes?
CO_Vn`dor says:
*Jolade*:  We will return to your previous course.  Vn'dor out.
FCO_Tim says:
CO: ETA in 5 minutes
CO_Vn`dor says:
CSO:  Fire up the LRS and scan that system.  I want to know everything there is about that place.  Acknowledged?
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Aye sir.
CEOWilken says:
CMO: I haven't had much sleep... lately... And I was wondering if there is anything you could give me to... ease my temper. It has been extremely more difficult for me to maintain control, of my attitude... and with our current situation being as stressful as it is...
CO_Vn`dor says:
CNS:  I know.  I'll have to deal with her at a better time, but for now...
Jolade says:
::begins his work that will secure his survival::
CSO_Larek says:
::brings LRS up and conducts intense scan of the system::
CO_Vn`dor says:
FCO:  Return us to Jolade's previous course.
CNS_Lee says:
CO:  Very well, sir, I'll try to keep her attention until you can speak with her
Host Karri says:
Action:  As the ship passes the third planet in the system, it comes to a complete stop.
XO_Vrayll says:
::takes his seat, carefully taking in everything happening on the bridge::
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir setting course and engaging.
CNS_Lee says:
::leaves bridge heading back to the brig::
EO_Green says:
::wonders if there is a way to get more use out of the present memory resources::
CEOWilken says:
::Feels the ship shudder... The engines...?::
CTO_Vidal says:
::bangs her hand on the bunk.. "What is he thinking? Can he not understand my evaluation of the situation?"::
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir we are a full stop.
CO_Vn`dor says:
FCO:  Did Jolade do it Ensign?
CEOWilken says:
::Moves over to one of the Aft stations::
EO_Green says:
::snaps his attention to warp drive::
CO_Vn`dor says:
CSO:  Anything special about the third planet in this system?
FCO_Tim says:
CO:  He could have sir
CEOWilken says:
*EO*: Status of our propulsionary systems...?
CSO_Larek says:
::scans the third planet::
CNS_Lee says:
::arrives at brig::
CO_Vn`dor says:
CEO:  What are you reading over there?
CMO_Varr says:
::takes a quick look across the bridge:: CEO:  I think none of us are getting our required sleep.  Any more of this and I will have to flood the ship with anasthezine soon...
CO_Vn`dor says:
*Jolade*: Why have we come to a complete stop?
OPS_Zax says:
::tapping console::
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  ::Coughs to get CTO's attention::
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Checking now sir.
CTO_Vidal says:
::turns her head:: Oh.. It's you again...
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Helm is not responding. Trying to override using you chair consoles. 
CEOWilken says:
CO: I'm working on it, Sir...::Carefully examines the computer screen::... CO: Well... As... wierd as it may seem... our engines are... fine!
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Yeah it's me again.
CMO_Varr says:
CEO:  But in the mean time, stop on by sickbay when you can and I will give you something to take the edge off.
CEOWilken says:
CO: We just can't access them!
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Captain all the planets are dead cold, nothing on scans.
CO_Vn`dor says:
CEO:  Can't access them?  Jolade maybe?
CEOWilken says:
::Weakly smiles, not bothering to acknowledge the Doctor::
Jolade says:
*CO*:  Is this a plan of misdirection my Captain? If it is you will pay the ultimate price
CO_Vn`dor says:
CSO: Curious.  Any technology readings?
CEOWilken says:
CO: Probably, Sir... but I don't want to jump to conclusions.
OPS_Zax says:
::still attempting to boost the signal gain::
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir Helm not responding need to override is are only way.
CEOWilken says:
::In the back of his mind, he is accusing, cursing Jolade::
CO_Vn`dor says:
*Jolade*:  You have my word.  I will do everything in my power to get you home.  This is not our doing.  What do you know of this system?
XO_Vrayll says:
::from his chair, still analyzing the navigational sensor data::
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Nothing sir. no technology, no life forms, nothing.
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : Well.. Since you took the trouble to return.. Go ahead.. What do you want?
EO_Green says:
*CEO*: sir every panel down hear reads green...I have no info on what caused that shudder
CMO_Varr says:
::leaves the bridge to those experienced with caring for it, and begins back toward his little hole, buried deep within this mass of metal we call a ship::
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  I spoke with the Captain
EO_Green says:
::monitoring Flight/Propulsion::
CEOWilken says:
*EO*: I see... well, see if you can get to the source of the problem... Manually examine the warp core if you have to!
CO_Vn`dor says:
FCO:  Ensign, we can not access the propulsions systems.  I can't see that helping.  Please explain.
Jolade says:
*CO*:  It is a world best left forgotten.  ::Telepathy signals increase::
EO_Green says:
*CEO*: Roger that. On it, sir. Out.
CTO_Vidal says:
<Security Chief> *CO* : Sir? I heard Lt. Vigal is in the brig?
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Wait sir, the last three planets are dead, but the fourth is warm, strange considering we are so far from the systems sun.
EO_Green says:
Self: Let's pop the hood on this baby...
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : And?
CEOWilken says:
::Taps his badge, closing the channel on his end::
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Also getting reading from the inner planets as well.
CO_Vn`dor says:
*Sec Chief* :  She placed herself there.  She can leave whenever she feels like doing so.
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  one of my assumptions was right.  Jolade is the only one that can get us home
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir I do not know I may have to contact engineering for that one.
CNS_Lee says:
CTO::  Also if you hadn't noticed were 30,000 light years from home.
EO_Green says:
::opens the main viewing port on the warp core after donning his protective eyewear::
CTO_Vidal says:
::she turns her head to the wall again:: CNS : Are you trying to tell me i was wrong acting like i did?
CMO_Varr says:
COMPUTER:  Computer, provide location for the Counselor.
CSO_Larek says:
::does an intense scan on the fourth planet, everything scan known::
CMO_Varr says:
::hopes the computer functions that much at least::
CEOWilken says:
::Impatiently drums his fingers on the nearby panel, as he waits for the EO to contact him... preferably with good news::
Host Karri says:
<Computer> CNS is located in the brig
CO_Vn`dor says:
*Jolade*:  What do you know about the fourth and first planet in this system?  We seem to be registering heat from them when the rest are all cold?
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Captain I am slowly picking up energy radiating from us.
EO_Green says:
::begins to trace power conduits and sources hoping to find where the connections might be severed::
FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir permission to contact engineering sir?
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  Yes, Perhaps you should try another approach.
OPS_Zax says:
::getting frustrated with comm signal::
CEOWilken says:
::Leaves the box containing his commendation, discarded::
Jolade says:
CO:  I know nothing specific about them, My instinct says to leave
CO_Vn`dor says:
FCO:  Yes, see if you can help them find out the problem with the Propulsion Systems
Jolade says:
::Returns to his work behind the Battle Bridges console::
CMO_Varr says:
Computer: Thank you.  Lift: Brig please.
CTO_Vidal says:
::shakes her head:: CNS : How do you tell a Captain you think he should be a little more considerate toward his officers?
CO_Vn`dor says:
*Jolade*:  For some reason we cannot access our Engines.  Is there anyway you can get us out of the system then?
FCO_Tim says:
*EO*  Stricker to Green
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  maybe meet him when he's off duty like eating a meal and talk with him
EO_Green says:
*FCO*: Green Here. What's up, Stricker?
Host Karri says:
Action:  For those who are looking out the main viewer, they will see energy lines lighting up from the ship outwards to the fourth planet in the system.
OPS_Zax says:
::frowns at view screen::
CSO_Larek says:
XO: Sir I am picking up energy radiating from us.
OPS_Zax says:
CEO: Sir, on the screen...
CEOWilken says:
::Turns to examine the main viewer... and is taken back by what he sees... Energy?::
XO_Vrayll says:
CSO: What type of energy?
FCO_Tim says:
*EO* I am going to come to your location to help you with are propulsion systems ok?
CO_Vn`dor says:
::points to the view screen::  CSO: What do you make of that?
CEOWilken says:
OPS: I see it... Can you give me the exact source?
CTO_Vidal says:
CNS : No.. I will not return to duty until he talks to me.. I may be wrong.. But i want him to tell me that.. So i can explain myself.. ::she gets up and paces the cell:: But i'm not eve sure he'd listen to anything i said..
CSO_Larek says:
CO: Captain I think something or someone is draining energy from us.
XO_Vrayll says:
CO: Sir, something is on that planet...and communicating with Jolade. ::furrows brow in concentration::
OPS_Zax says:
CEO: Seems to be coming from the Pendragon, Sir
EO_Green says:
*FCO*: Roger that. I could use another set of hands and eyes. I can't find the drain. All systems seem optimal.
CMO_Varr says:
::the lift doors open with the tired "swish" which seems not to have changed since they created doors that do not swing open, and Varr steps out, turning in one direction, pausing, and turning in the other.::
Klic_Kor says:
::Lowers light deflection systems, and appears with the rest of his vessels, about 20 of them, surrounding the Pendragon::
Jolade says:
::Dematerializes and materializes in the Articulation Frame and finds a frozen magnetic constrictor::
CEOWilken says:
OPS: But more precisely? Any certain location?
CO_Vn`dor says:
CSO: What!?
FCO_Tim says:
*EO* Ok where are you?
CSO_Larek says:
CO: The energy radiating from us is the ships energy.
OPS_Zax says:
CEO: Just a moment , Sir ::taps console::
CMO_Varr says:
::steps over to a corridor panel:: Computer:  Computer, please provide directions to the brig.
CEOWilken says:
::Wonders if their situation just got worse... what kind of question is that? Sighs......::
Jolade says:
*CO*:  There is a frozen magnetic constrictor in the Warp Core.........::
CEOWilken says:
CO: Sir... I am detecting no unusual amounts of power drainage, or extraction...
FCO_Tim says:
*EO* Where are you?
CNS_Lee says:
CTO:  The way your acting?  No. Perhaps if you act more like an officer then a baby demanding attention he'll speak to you. His words were if she can't act like a starfleet officer then that's where she should be.  quote unquote
