CEO Irvin says:

CO McPhee says::
Tricorder: At that point, Commander James Starks struck me full in the jaw in front of several senior officers, including Admiral K’rust.

CTO Horn says:
::Enters holodeck and scans the scene in front of her::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
*CEO* K'rust here. Go ahead Lt.

CO McPhee says::
::rounds a  corner and heads towards the observation lounge::

CNS Janan says:
::still wandering aimlessly around looking at the Padd in her hand::

CO McPhee says::
Tricorder: This is a court martial offense. Starfleet needs to make an example of Starks.

CEO Irvin says:
*K’rust* Admiral...   I think that I might have a good indication of what the problem is with the Holodeck...   The EPS control interface was not upgraded when the power converters were installed...   I'll keep you posted.

CO McPhee says::
::sees the lounge::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
:: waits in the Lounge for McPhee ::

CO McPhee says::
::to self:: We'll see about this...::enters the lounge::

CEO Irvin says:
::continues tapping along on the panel::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
*CEO* very good, let me know when your ready

CEO Irvin says:
*K’rust* Aye Aye sir...  Irvin out

CO McPhee says::
::sets his jaw and winces::

CTO Horn says:
::Walks over to the panel on the wall and pulls it off, covering her nose as the smell of burned equipment bothers her::

CO McPhee says::
ADM: All right, Admiral...what are you threatening me with.

CEO Irvin says:
*Zimmerman* Irvin to Zimmerman... Come in please.....

CPO Zimmerman says:
*CEO* This is Zimmerman...  What's up Eli?

CTO Horn says:
::Decides to go to engineering and get with the CEO and pick up equipment to fix the thing::

CEO Irvin says:
*Zimmerman* I'm in OPS on 1138...  Can you meet me at level 13 of  the outpost..  I need your assistance with some heavy duty work

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ ::narrows eyes and stands:: CO: Captain? What do you mean, threaten?

CNS Janan says:
::walks along muttering away to herself out loud:: Self: Ni'C'th ::stops in mid sentence and shakes her head before trying again to pronounce the words correctly::

CTO Horn says:
::Enroute to Engineering, passes Ops and sees the CEO there::

CO McPhee says::
ADM: I understand this end of Starfleet Admiral. You can't stop any promotions, sir.

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Just looked at the holodeck. There are quite a bit of burned wires and stuff

CPO Zimmerman says:
*CEO* Sure...  Let me gather up some things and I'll meet you there...   What are we going to be doing?

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ CO: Can't I? I wonder what Starfleet would do to a captain that was subject to vertigo or motion sickness...

CEO Irvin says:
CTO: ::swings around::  Oh... Hi there....

CEO Irvin says:
Horn: Hold on a sec... :: turns to panel again::

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Anything I can do to help?

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ CO: For instance, what if gravity failed at a crucial moment and the CO couldn't function...

CO McPhee says::
::sits himself down:: ADM: Immaterial on a modern vessel with inertial dampners. I have an 
inner ear problem.

CO McPhee says::
ADM: That's why I like to surround myself with competent crew. Unlike this Starks.

CEO Irvin says:
*Zimmerman* We're going to be replacing an under powered plasmatic variance filter.  This holodoohicky pulls too much power through the main EPS.

CPO Zimmerman says:
*CEO* Aye Aye... I'm on my way...   Zimmerman out.

CEO Irvin says:
::turns to Horn::  Horn: Of course...   You have any engineering experience?

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Some. I used to be Ops on the Shari

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CO: Not on a combat or attrition unit captain! Systems fail in combat, if you had earned those pips you would know that!

CO McPhee says::
@::looks mildly angry:: ADM : Do you think that Starfleet runs on exploration? If it weren't so blind I wouldn't have to be here in the first place. I need my ship time, sir.

CEO Irvin says:
::picks up a tool kit and starts making way to the turbo-lift::  Horn: Great.  Go get out of that uniform and put on some engineering scrubs...  It's going to be hot and cramped down there.  Meet me and Chief Zimmerman on Level 13

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ ::lets out a low growling sigh:: A crew is only as competent as it's leader! You don't get it do you! If you pursue charges, I'll see that you career is over Captain! End of story!

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ :: mumbles reluctantly:: I have an alternative however...

CTO Horn says:
CEO: okie dokie

CEO Irvin says:
::smiles:: Horn: You know how long it has been since I have heard someone say Okie Dokie? ::chuckles slightly::

CO McPhee says::
@::smirks a bit:: ADM: Yes, alternatives are always available...

CEO Irvin says:
Horn: It's personalities like yours are what make this job a little more bearable.

CTO Horn says:
CEO: I haven't said that in a long time either

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ Holds up a official looking document on a PADD and signs it, then shows it to McPhee::

CTO Horn says:
CEO: I guess you wouldn't of liked me a couple of weeks ago then ::Shudders at the thought of her previous behavior::

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Well I better go and change. Meet you on deck 13

CEO Irvin says:
::heads for the turbolift:: Horn: Fair enough.  See ya in a bit.

CEO Irvin says:
::enters turbolift::

CTO Horn says:
::Heads out to change uniforms, then head down to deck 13::

CO McPhee says::
@::reads the padd greedily:: ADM: Excellent. I agree. Your loyalty to this crew is unique, Admiral.

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@:: pulls PADD back Slightly :: CO: No charges then?

CEO Irvin says:
Computer: Deck 13

CO McPhee says::
::takes out his tricorder:: ADM: Charges will be dropped.

CNS Janan says:
::continues muttering vaguely Vulcan words, wondering if she could have found an easier language::

CPO Zimmerman says:
*CEO* Zimmerman to Irvin... I'm on my way with plasmatic variance filter.  Thought that I would save you the trip.

CEO Irvin says:
*Zimmerman* Great....  Thanks for the heads up.  I am in route now, and power is already off to that junction.  

CEO Irvin says:
*Zimmerman* Irvin Out

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ CO: Very well Captain. One more thing... I would like you to assist me in another holo -deck test. The system will be fully tested and no unorthodox motion involved.. Just a fun little starship trip... agreed?

CEO Irvin says:
::arrives at the Jeffrey’s Tube close to the Holodeck and climbs in::

CO McPhee says::
@ADM: I assume this is more than a request, Admiral.

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ :: holds thumb over the delete key and send key  alternately on the promotion document::

CPO Zimmerman says:
::walks down the way, turns and looks up the tube::

CNS Janan says:
::walking through the station on her little quest to nowhere, talking away to herself and checking the Padd from time to time::

CO McPhee says::
@ADM: Agreed.

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ CO: Consider it redemption if you will Lance, You deserve at least that.

CPO Zimmerman says:
CEO:Looks like you got your hands full there Eli......

CTO Horn says:
::catches up to the CEO in the jeffries tube::

CEO Irvin says:
Zimmerman: Shut up would ya... ::removes the old filter pack with a moderate spark::

CO McPhee says::
@::frowns confusedly::

CPO Zimmerman says:
CEO: Yeah.... As soon as you promise me that you won't get knocked out cold by anymore Holo-Arches..... ::laughs lightly::

CTO Horn says:
::crawls up behind the engineers:: CEO: Not made for comfort, are they

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ CO: Dismissed, :: taps the send key on the PADD::  your bars should be here by the time we finish... :: grins a bit::

CEO Irvin says:
Horn:: Oh Hiya Horn...... Nope... Just ease of access here....

CO McPhee says::
@::smiles:: ADM: To the holodeck.

CEO Irvin says:
Horn: Go on up ahead and remove that 12B42 EPS coupler from the circut.

CTO Horn says:
CEO: On my way ::Crawls up ahead::

CEO Irvin says:
::inserts the new filter that Zimmerman brought::

CTO Horn says:
::Reaches the indicated EPS Coupler:: CEO: This one here?

CEO Irvin says:
Zimmerman: Hey Frank... Go connect the Dynamic Mode Converter to the Holo Interface.... I wanna see what kind of power this thing draws and what happens to it....

CO McPhee says::
@::heads out to the holodeck::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@ CO: You may want to contact Admiral Doopvra first, I'll call you when we're ready.

CEO Irvin says:
::looks over at Horn::  Yeah... That's it.  Yank it out.  It'll be in there mighty tight.

CNS Janan says:
::stops and blinks:: Self: Akahl ...no erm Akhla..oh that is hardly possible ::rereads the words::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
@CO: I want to be sure it's safe this time Captain... :: walks off in the other direction::

CO McPhee says::
@::heads to a secure station to contact Starfleet personnel::

CPO Zimmerman says:
CEO: OK.... ::walks over to the Holodeck entrance and configures the Dynamic Mode Converter to interface with the Holo-Controls::

CTO Horn says:
::Pulls, grunts and moans as the stubborn thing moves a millimeter at a time::

CTO Horn says:
::With a last mighty yank pulls the thing free::

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Okay it is out, finally

CEO Irvin says:
::cross wires the EPS flow sensors so the EPS over-usage alarm doesn't sound for another 1000 volts::

CEO Irvin says:
Horn: Right... On the blue end of it is a threaded lid. Unscrew it and take out the little green controller card inside.

CTO Horn says:
::Does what is instructed and pulls out the green thing::

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Okay it is out

CEO Irvin says:
::closes the filter retainer box and attaches three "completed repair tags" to it.

CEO Irvin says:
::crawls over to Horn::

CO McPhee says::
@::eyes light up as he learns the promotion is filed::

CPO Zimmerman says:
::hollers up to the CEO::  Ok Eli... I'm ready here....

CEO Irvin says:
::screams back down:: Zimmerman: K.  Stand by....

CEO Irvin says:
::points at the controller card::   CTO: Ok.. See those two isoliner control jumpers?

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Yes

CO McPhee says::
@appearing 10 feet tall, heads towards the holodeck::

CEO Irvin says:
Horn: Switch those around to configure the fuse to handle level 15 power input instead of level 1.5....

Host Admiral K’rust says:
:: arrives at the holodeck ::

CPO Zimmerman says:
::looks over to the Admiral and stands at attention::

CTO Horn says:
CEO: I could that ::Proceeds to configure the equipment::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
Zimm: At ease chief! Good to see you!

CPO Zimmerman says:
::stands at ease::  Likewise Admiral...   Lt's Irvin and Horn are almost finished...   

CEO Irvin says:
Horn: Yeah.. That's it... Good work... Now slam it back in....

CEO Irvin says:
HORN: After you put the lid back on it

CNS Janan says:
::turns another corner, chanting words to herself, starting to understand this pronunciation thing::

CTO Horn says:
CEO: Okay you are the boss ::Slams it back::

CEO Irvin says:
Horn: There. Perfect...

Host Admiral K’rust says:
Zimm: Excellent!  The new admiral is on his way to help us test the system

CPO Zimmerman says:
Admiral: The New Who?

CO McPhee says::
::looks very proud::

CEO Irvin says:
Zimmerman: YO! FRANK! RE INSTATE THE POWER FLOW UP HERE WILL YA... WE'RE FINISHED....

Host Admiral K’rust says:
Zimm: Long story Zimm, I explain later.

CPO Zimmerman says:
::sees McPhee coming::  Adm: You don't mean.........

CO McPhee says::
::arrives at the holodeck::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
:: nods::

CPO Zimmerman says:
::hears Eli:: CEO:  Yah... Stand By....

CPO Zimmerman says:
Computer: Computer, restore power to grid 12b42 Deck 13

CO McPhee says::
ADM: Shall we begin, Admiral. Starfleet has requested my return to Command.

CTO Horn says:
::Hears the slight hum of power as it is returned to the systems::

CEO Irvin says:
::begins to climb out of the tube::  Horn: Ok Horn... We're finished....

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CO: Indeed. Lets see what we have...

CEO Irvin says:
::hops down to see the Admiral, McPhee, and Zimmerman standing there at the door::

CTO Horn says:
::Follows the CEO out::

CNS Janan says:
::pauses dropping her hand so the Padd slips to the floor, she gazes out a window, wondering how she managed to end up here::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
:: opens the  holo-deck door ::

CEO Irvin says:
::walks down to the Admiral::  K’rust: All ready sir...   I think you will see everything is in order....

CNS Janan says:
Self: Okay dead end ::picks up the Padd and turns around to go back the way she came::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
ACTION: The large doors slide to reveal the deadly holo-deck.

CEO Irvin says:
K’rust: We'll get that busted panel on the arch later on today sir....

CO McPhee says::
::enters the deck:: All: What is this?

CEO Irvin says:
::stands there and looks in amazement at the Holo Deck::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
Computer: Begin and freeze program; K'rust-test2

Host Admiral K’rust says:
ACTION: A perfect replica of a defiant class bridge appears in front of the crew.

CO McPhee says::
ADM: What is the meaning of this, K’rust  ?!

CEO Irvin says:
::assumes that it is ok to follow them in and makes way to the arch which is still visible::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CO: It's your command Lance, with a legendary crew and any of the Pharaoh crew you wish to take along.

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CEO: Diagnostics?

CO McPhee says::
::looks toward the door::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CO: Relax! It's the Pharaoh.

CTO Horn says:
::stands there quietly, listening to everything going on::

CEO Irvin says:
::Walks out to the panel on the outer wall and looks at it and the dynamic mode converter::

CO McPhee says::
::looks only slightly less nervous:: ADM: All of them:: gestures at the crew::

CEO Irvin says:
K’rust: Diagnostic complete... System functioning normally at the proper power distribution level... You're good to go.

CPO Zimmerman says:
<PO_Ingle> *Zimmerman*  Chief... We have a slight problem over here in Engineering... Can you get back over here any time soon?

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CO: No, I'd like to take a few with me, if you don't mind.

CPO Zimmerman says:
*Ingle* On my way...   Zimmerman out

CNS Janan says:
::finds a quiet corner, wishing she knew where the lounge was, she starts to write a note on the Padd::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CEO: excellent! Thank you chief.

CO McPhee says::
ADM: Certainly...

CTO Horn says:
::Debates in following the CEO or staying and watching what is going on, decides to stay and find out what is going on::

CEO Irvin says:
::nods to the Chief as he hears the communication::  K’rust: Thank you Admiral.  ::smiles ear to ear::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
Computer: resume program!

CEO Irvin says:
::follows back in cautiously::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
ACTION: The sounds of bridge consoles fill the room, as the Tac console beeps insistently.

CEO Irvin says:
K’rust: Shall I remain with you two Admiral?

CO McPhee says::
::looks at the simulated hard chair with disgust::

CO McPhee says::
All: Somebody get that.:: waves his hand towards tactical::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
All: In case you’re wondering, I'm going there. :: points to the fading blip on the TAC display::

CEO Irvin says:
::looks out at Horn::  Horn:  Well?

CEO Irvin says:
::shrugs::

Host Admiral K’rust says:
Computer: Freeze program.

CTO Horn says:
::Not wanting to miss anything heads towards the Tac Station and finds out why it is beeping::

CO McPhee says::
ADM: I don't quite understand...

CTO Horn says:
CO: Sensors show a K'vort class ship beginning to cloak.

CEO Irvin says:
::walks back out slightly and looks at the dynamic mode converter read out::

CO McPhee says::
::shrugs towards CTO:: CTO: It's a simulation

Host Admiral K’rust says:
All: OK people, let's test this system and be done with it! We will split into two teams. Get your combat gear together, and meet me here in 10 minutes, I have one more thing to do.

CTO Horn says:
CO: Yes sir, and the simulation shows a simulated ship cloaking

CEO Irvin says:
Admiral: Combat gear sir?

CTO Horn says:
::Muttering under breath:: Self: Stupid  *BEEP* CO!

Host Admiral K’rust says:
CEO: Indeed.

CO McPhee says::
::thinks long and hard before the light turns on:: ADM: That's what Doopvra meant by conditions! What is this! Are you trying to kill me?

CO McPhee says::
::appears like a trapped rat::

CEO Irvin says:
::shrug’s:: All: Good God... CO: Not if you're lucky Captain....

CEO Irvin says:
::sees the captain while walking out and shakes head in disbelief::

CEO Irvin says:
