::she gets an update from the leaving SO and gets to work on assessing the sensors::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Yes what is it Commander?

Civ_Walker says:
::Mummbles something in his sleep::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: All short and long range sensors operational, Sir.

CNS_Irane says:
::She passes the security officer and enters the Brig::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Concerning Mr. Walker sir. I believe I may have a temporary solution until something more permanent can be decided on.

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Alright Mr Meyi, let's check the new engines. Set a course bearing 171 mark 238 mark 47, warp 2.

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks down at the CIV:: CIV: Mr. Walker, are you ready to leave?

OPS_Mayfair says:
::checks the ships systems, everything seem fine so far::

Civ_Walker says:
::Mummbles something more in his sleep then sits up, a bit, still asleep:: alright?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Before I went on leave the IG team had requested that I have the Sick Bays Klingon EMH replaced with a standard Star Fleet EMH. Something that I have yet to do.

FCO_Meyi says:
::Plots the course into the helm:: XO: Course plotted, sir.

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: You remember the terms we agreed upon, is that correct Mr. Walker?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Motions for Q'tor to step inside the RR doors::

XO_Gleisen says:
SO: Ms Lorenzo, full long range scans while we're at warp. OPS: Ms Mayfair, bring the cloak online and inform the starbase we're going to warp.

Civ_Walker says:
::Snaps out of it and wakes up, looking at the CNS, speaking but the CNS can't hear for the muted cell thing:: What were you saying?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::steps inside the RR with the CO::

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: Yeah.... ::Ribs his eyes, sitting up:: ... I remember.

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Aye sir

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM:SB: This is the QIb. We are ready to go to warp shortly ::prepare to activate the cloak::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: And?

CTO_Augustus says:
::leaves his office and heads to the bridge::

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Then you remmber I requested no escort, so please don't try any thing ::Looks at him::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: With all due respect sir, there are still quite a few Klingons serving on board the QIb that would find the...what is the phrase?...

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::fully activates the  long range sensors to detect any anomalies or enemy fire::

CTO_Augustus says:
*XO*: Are you all still tracking the mine field sir

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods to Meyi:: FCO: Engage.

XO_Gleisen says:
*CTO*: No Mr Augustus we're moving onto the engine's testing.

Civ_Walker says:
::looks inocent:: Civ: Would I?

FCO_Meyi says:
::hits the engage button:: XO: On our way, Commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
*XO*: Aye sir

ACTION The Ship veers 1 point to the right of expected course and down 2 points

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Bedside manner of a Starfleet EMH insulting. Mr Walker needs something to do to keep himself out of trouble.

CNS_Irane says:
::Smiles and turns off the force field:: CIV: Let's go then ::Waits quietly::

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO/SO/OPS: I trust everything is working as expected?

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: So far it is, Sir

FCO_Meyi says:
::checks board:: XO: The engines are veering... just so slightly... Shall I correct?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::notices the slight misalignment in their flight path::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Hmmmm. Interesting thought. So you're willing to supervise him in this?

OPS_Mayfair says:
::keeps her eyes on her console::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: If I could assign him to alter the matrix of the Klingon EMH in order to recognize Klingons and non Klingons, and adjust it's personality matrix accordingly...

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Of course...and inform engineering if it doesn't correct itself properly.

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks at the CNS and then down at he 'restraints' arround his ankles:: CNS: I can't get far.

FCO_Meyi says:
XO: Aye. ::corrects the course::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks down shocked:: Self: This is too much

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: I would be willing to make sure that he is supervised, yes sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: I'll leave it in your hands Commander. I'll inform him in my meeting with him shortly. ::Turns to exit the RR waiting for the CEO to leave first::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::recalibrates the sensors for optimal scans of the path before them::

XO_Gleisen says:
SO: Anything in our path Lieutenant?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Thank you sir. ::exits the RR and goes back to his station on the bridge::

CNS_Irane says:
::Bends down slowly and unlocs the restraints, she suddenly spots some thing on the CIV's hand::

FCO_Meyi says:
CEO: Q'Tor... sir.

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: Thank you.

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Mr. Walker, what happend to your arm?

CTO_Augustus says:
::heads to TAC 1::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Enters the bridge:: XO: Report.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: We're at warp 2 sir, just working out some kinks in the new engines.

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks down at his wrist::CNS: Picked a fight with a bulkhead.... guess who won? Anyway I think I might have fractured it.

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Long range sensors reveal an odd energy signature not far off the path, about 5 light years off.

XO_Gleisen says:
SO: Is it going to be a problem for us?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::adjusts the plasma flow to the warp drive::

CNS_Irane says:
::Shakes her head:: CIV: You did this to your self?

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Alright Commander. Let me know if there are any problems. I've got a meeting with Mr. Walker and Counselor Irane.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Aye sir.

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: nknown.  It is definitely a ship signature, but nothing from our databases.

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks dumbly at the CNS and speaks with a touch of sarcasm:: CNS: No... the bulkhead started it.

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns back to the viewscreen:: FCO: Alright lieutenant, increase us to warp three once the engines are fixed.

XO_Gleisen says:
SO: How large?

CEO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Excuse me, what did you need?

CTO_Augustus says:
::shakes his head as he logs into the system, reviewing the info that the new SO has located::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::looks up and notices the new SO::

Civ_Walker says:
::Stands up in his cell::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::attempts to recalibrate sensors in order to get a better reading of the ship ahead::

FCO_Meyi says:
CEO: The warp engines are veering slightly... One point right, and two down.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Runs a series of Tactical scans on the area, looking for anything unusual or similar::

CNS_Irane says:
::Remains calm, her tone of voice how even sounds louder now:: CIV: Let's head to the sickbay I guess ::sighs::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Taps commbadge::

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Mayfair:: OPS: Status of the cloak?

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: It is approximately 150 yards across, Sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: Turner to Irane.

CEO_Q`tor says:
FCO: I'm attempting to compensate now

FCO_Meyi says:
CEO: Thank you.

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods to Lorenzo:: FCO: Conn, bring us towards that ship.

CNS_Irane says:
::Recognizes the CO voice:: *CO* Irane here, what is it Captain?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::makes a few more adjustments and reads the measurements::

Civ_Walker says:
::Shrugs:: CNS: k...

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: The cloak is operational , Do you want me to activate it now?

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: Are you ready for our meeting Counselor?

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: Confirm 150 metres and spherical, no ports or seams

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: Yes, no time like the present to check it out.

CEO_Q`tor says:
FCO: That should do it.

FCO_Meyi says:
::looks at Sci readings for the ship and adjusts flight path:: XO: Adjusted.

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: The ship is sperical and appears seamless Sir.  Definitely 150 meters across.

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: ETA?

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Activating it now ::runs finger on her console::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the CIV again:: CIV: You really have an interesting approach when you want to solve problems, any one ever told you that?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Recommand that we cloak and consider yellow alert

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Aye, Mr. Augustus.

CTO_Augustus says:
OPS: Have we hailed it yet?

FCO_Meyi says:
XO: 15 mins at present speed

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: Yeah, my mother told me a few times.

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Cloak reports ready and standing by

OPS_Mayfair says:
CTO: No

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: ::nods:: We just brought up the cloak, hold off on yellow alert though.

CNS_Irane says:
*CO* Captain, it seem young Mr. Walker has injured his arm, I'm taking him to sickbay

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Recommend contact be attempted and go to yellow alert

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: See if you can raise them on any Federation channels.

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Do you want to stay cloaked, sir?

CTO_Augustus says:
::nods to the XO::

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: We're going to hold off on yellow alert for now, be on your toes though lieutenant.

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: And we are still to far for contact, sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: How did he injur...............nevermind you can explain at the meeting after he's seen the Dr. Is he alright?

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: Yes, keep the cloak up, and once we're in range hail them.

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: I mean is it serious?

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO:Aye

SO_Lorenzo says:
::adjusts sensors to record the signature and run it through the QIb database archive::

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Take us to warp 5, we have to check the engines anyway.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Hits the yellow alert::

Civ_Walker says:
::Stands there, hating being talked about::

CNS_Irane says:
*CO* He seems fine, Captain ::Shurgs::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Do you not recongnize that signature?

CNS_Irane says:
::Begins walking to the direction of the TL:: CIV: Let's go

CTO_Augustus says:
*CO*: Sir report to the bridge

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Not even 3 months ago sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: Have the Dr. look at him then and contact me when you're done. I'll be on the bridge till then. Turner out.

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: What about it lieutenant, nobody's told me anything about it?

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at the XO::

Civ_Walker says:
::follows allong with the CNS, just happy to get out of his cell::

CNS_Irane says:
::Every now and then she turns to look at him::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::checks his read outs making sure there is extra power to boost the shields if necessary::

Civ_Walker says:
::Silently grumbles about the Captain and CTO as he steps into the TL, being hearded arround the ship::

XO_Gleisen says:
::checks the sensor readout on his chair, then frowns a bit:: CTO: Any sign that he is over there?

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: What is it Lt?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Val Mat sir it is the Val mat

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Is every thing okay? ::Starts to sense that CIV is getting mad::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: you remember

SO_Lorenzo says:
::wonders what the Val`Mat is::

CNS_Irane says:
::Turns around in the TL:: TL: Sickbay please

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: They had no right to throw me in there.

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods:: CTO: Take us to yellow alert. OPS: Keep trying to raise them. SO: Watch for any sign of their weapons coming online. FCO: Get us in real close.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO:Could you elaborate?

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: A race that has advanced cloning techniques and has a former officer as a clone in their crew

FCO_Meyi says:
::Keeps edging the QIb to the other ship::

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Can you tell me why the Captain felt it was necessary to put you in the brig?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::checks cloaking power::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Just watches and lets the crew perform their duties while he monitors the situation::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Its engines are non-existent or failing Sir.

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: This isn't the same ship we found 3 months ago is it?

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM:SHIP: this is the QIb. Do you read me?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I do not detect any energy signs from the engines

CEO_Q`tor says:
::confirms available weapons power::

CNS_Irane says:
::Parts the TL as the TL doors open, she looks at the CIV, still waiting for an answer::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO:It's pretty small.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I do not think it is the same ship as we ran into with McCellan on it

XO_Gleisen says:
SO: Small but it has a nasty bite. Keep a lookout on LRS for any of it's friends.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: How did they end up with a clone of a former crewman?

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: No answer sir

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Aye.

OPS_Mayfair says:
SO: any lifesigns inside?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::Scanning space for any similar energy signatures::

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: He was deceased and was sent on his final journey. They recovered the body

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: He put me in the brig because I said I wasn't a Starfleet Officer..... I guess that's how they work now.... facism is it called?

Civ_Walker says:
::Steps out the TL on the way to sickbay::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Ah, I see.

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Captain Turner:: CO: Once we get in close enough, sir, I'd like to take an Away Team over there, try to find out what happened to them.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::adjusts sensors to scan for life signs::

CNS_Irane says:
::Nods understanding and enters the SB, she looks around searching for a MO::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Lifesigns and life support is stable and operating within perameteres

OPS_Mayfair says:
::tries the COMM again::

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops:There are several life signs Ma'am. The life support systems seem stable, for now.

EMH says:
What seems to be the nature of the Medical Emergency ?

OPS_Mayfair says:
SO: any humans?

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Sounds like a good idea. Make sure you get thorough scans before you head over.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Sir I do ask you to remember the last time though.  Let me take a shuttle over and secure it first then you can transport over

Civ_Walker says:
::Enters Sickbay and stis on a biobed and plays with some of stuff on the cart next to it::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Scans for human life signs::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::tries the COMM again::

XO_Gleisen says:
::pauses a moment, thinking:: CTO: Alright, but take Jacin with you.

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks suprised at the EMH, she didn't see him:: EMH: Hrm.. ::Confused:: the CIV hurt his arm ::Points at him::

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Sir they are not responding

EMH says:
::looks at the injuries to Walker:: For this you rouse me? He just needs a bandaid

EMH says:
::turns away to reach for one ::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the rude EMH confused::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Aye sir  *CPO_Jacin*: Report to shuttle bay 1 for away mission

Civ_Walker says:
::quietly pockets a few things while the EMH is away::

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: Head down to the shuttlebay and prepare the Challenger, and as soon as you have the area secure, call us.

CTO_Augustus says:
::turns to depart:: CO/XO: With your permission gentlemen?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I detect one human lifesign aboard sir

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Aye sir

CTO_Augustus says:
::departs from the bridge to the shuttle bay::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::looks over her sensors to pinpoint the human life sign.::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the EMH as he works:: Self: Weird looking EMH

CPO_Jacin says:
*CTO*: On my way sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Be careful Mr. Augustus.

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Do you think is the McCellan clone, sir?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::makes more power available for sensors::

FCO_Meyi says:
::Slows to impulse:: CO/XO: Slowing to impulse

CTO_Augustus says:
::leaves the TL and enters the SB heading to Challenger::

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: I don't know, could be though.

CNS_Irane says:
*CO* Captain, the EMH is taking care of the CIV as we speak

EMH says:
::turns around with a bandaid and a bone regenerator and yanks on the hand pulling the bones into place ::

Civ_Walker says:
::Grimaces in pain:: CNS: I'd like to reprogram his beside manor anyday.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Jacin is already there prepping the shuttle and has supplies  out::

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: Inform me when you both are ready.

CTO_Augustus says:
Jacin: Lets have enviromental suits on and light armor, bring addition rifles and sidearms as well

OPS_Mayfair says:
::tries another frequency::

CNS_Irane says:
::Rather not look, she hates seeing some one in pain:: CIV: Yes, I heared the CEO has some thing in mind

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gets in his suit and gets ready, preps Challenger for departure::

EMH says:
Civ: Walker, be glad you didn't meet the klingon I replaced, I understand he was rougher

CTO_Augustus says:
*XO*: We are ready for departure upon your clearance

XO_Gleisen says:
::as they arrive:: FCO: Alright Meyi take us out of warp, hold position here.

FCO_Meyi says:
XO: Already at impulse... sir

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: You're in charge of the clearance for the Challenger...make sure the doors are all the way open this time.

CNS_Irane says:
EMH: How much time is this going to take?

Civ_Walker says:
::grimaces...:: EMH: I never knew a light bulb could hurt so much.

XO_Gleisen says:
SO: Constant long range scans. The moment anything shows up on sensors, I want to know.

Val`Rae says:
@COM: QIb: Welcome outlander, we have heard of your ship

OPS_Mayfair says:
::tries all the frequency::

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Aye sir ::smiles at the XO::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO:Aye, Sir.

CTO_Augustus says:
*OPS*: Awating departure clearance

CEO_Q`tor says:
Self: ::sarcastically:: What an Honor

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Opens the bay doors all the way::

XO_Gleisen says:
::spins as they finally contact the ship:: Self: It's about time. COM: Val`Rae: This is Commander Anthony Gleisen of the IKS QIb. I don't want to sound rude, but what are you doing here?

CTO_Augustus says:
::watching for the hanger doors to open up so as he can depart::

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: Tell Augustus to hold on...

Civ_Walker says:
EMH: You quite done pulling on my arm now?

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* Go ahead Lt and be carefull

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the door from time to time:: Self: I wonder if he will mind.. ::Thinks some more::

CTO_Augustus says:
*OPS*: Departing now::edges the controls forward and slowly exits the hanger bay, making sure he is nowhere near the hatches::

CTO_Augustus says:
*OPS*: Not if I can help it::chuckles::

Val`Rae says:
@COM: QIb: We have been experiencing  technical difficulties at present, but were on a collection run

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* Hold on LT

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Val`Rae: You need assistance?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::continues long range scans for any 'friends'.... keeps the challenger and its crew's signatures locked in::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Edges back on the controls stopping slightly aft of the hanger bay::

Val`Rae says:
@COM: QIb:  We await our mother ship which comes

CTO_Augustus says:
@COM: Qlb: Holding now

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Val`Rae: Well, we could help you out until then...

CNS_Irane says:
::Starts to get mad:: EMH: Are you done already?!

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* They have answer our comm stand by Lt

Val`Rae says:
@COM: QIb: It would be good if you could give us some dilithium cobalt

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: ::indignantly:: Sir, they are gathering the dead

CTO_Augustus says:
@COM: Qlb: OPS: Why are we holding Commander

Civ_Walker says:
::Picks up something else off the equipment trolly and takes alook at it while the EMH does his stuff::

XO_Gleisen says:
CEO: I'm aware of that commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
@COM:Qlb: OPs: That mean they have acknowledged that they are picking up bodies?

EMH says:
::finishes with Walker's arm:: Civ; now don't be so careless in future

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Val`Rae: Ok, one of our men is on the way. ::nods to Mayfair to tell Augustus to go::

Civ_Walker says:
EMH: The Bulkhead Started it!

CNS_Irane says:
::Hears the EMH:: Self: finally!

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO*I guess Lt

Civ_Walker says:
::tests his hand:: CNS: Maybe we should just have Captain Oh-I'm-so-Great Turner down in sickbay?

CNS_Irane says:
*CO* The CIV is all right now, please meet me in your quarters as soon as possible

CTO_Augustus says:
::edges the ship forward again he is not going to let them collect dead bodies and bring them back to life.  After all some things are sacred!::

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Not around that thing ::Points at the EMH::

Civ_Walker says:
::Frowns at the CNS:: Computer, Deactivate EMH.

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* Lt what are you doing?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::recalibrates sensors to scan for dead bodies::

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: Sounds good Counselor. The less formal the better. Report to my quarters I'll be on my way shortly.

CTO_Augustus says:

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* Lt answer me

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM: XO: Sir I am going in we know what they do and it isn't right

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: You have this situation under control Commander?

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Aye sir.

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Sir Gladius is gone off again

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: So, why not in here?

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: We are doing this in his quarters, this is no place for a meeting

CTO_Augustus says:
::brings th eship it using codes that he had from the last vessel trying to open the cargo bay doors::

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CTO: Augustus, this is not a combat mission, secure the area and we'll be over an away team

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: What if I don't want to do it in his quarters?

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: And why not, if I may ask?

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM: XO: Understood sir, Secure area aye

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to OPS, worried now by Augustus:: OPS: Keep a lock on him, if he tries anything, beam him out right away.

Civ_Walker says:
::Tries to sound 'formal':: CNS: I feel that we should do this in a more..... 'neutral ground'

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Aye: ::tries to get a lock on Gladius::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Sir, I'm scanning 25 corpses onboard that ship.

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the CIV not impressed:: CIV: I can feel you are hiding some thing, why don't you tell me? you will feel much better ::smiles::

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: sir I can't get a lock on him ::looks up at the XO worried::

CEO_Q`tor says:

ACTION  The doors swing slowly open

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: ME? hide something? what would I have to hide?

Civ_Walker says:
::Holds back a grin::

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: Well then, lets just hope and pray that he doesn't pull an Augustus...

CTO_Augustus says:
::swings Challenger in to the vessels CB, scanning for human remains and life signs for locations::

OPS_Mayfair says:
Self: sure let's hope

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Taps commbadge:: *CNS*: Counselor are you ready?

Human says:
@::Walks around the tanks checking various levels inside them::

CTO_Augustus says:

XO_Gleisen says:
::frowns:: SO: There isn't really anything we can do about that right now...

Civ_Walker says:
*CO* Captain... ::mumbles quietly but then tries to sound like the CNS did:: .. I feel that a more neutral environment would be more prudent.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Walks to the TL and enters:: TL: Sickbay.

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Gladius looks back into the rear and sees...::

Host Captain_Turner says:

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: I really think we should do what the CO asked, please Walker.. ::Sounds nervous::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Sir, the CTO is attempting to beam the human to the challenger.  There are 30 crewmen onboard the Val'Rae that aren't going to be pleased.

XO_Gleisen says:
::jumps up:: OPS/SO: What!

XO_Gleisen says:

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Come on, please.. Even not for me?

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Do you rather have security escort you?

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius continues to scan the ship for human and or Federation lifesigns::

@::notes the arrival of Lehari ::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::attempts to take control of the Challenger::

Civ_Walker says:
::Grins and bites his lip before saying anything:: CNS: Counselor, is this the latest in counseling techniques?

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CNS*: Your two minutes are up Counseler.

Alaer says:
@CTO: Why do you do this ? You wish us to die ?

CTO_Augustus says:
@ ::turning around Gladius is shocked.  Standing there was Cmdr McCellan's wife.  He hadn't even known she had died::

CNS_Irane says:
*CO* Call security

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Sir, Might I suggest that we take hold of the Challenger with a tractor beam and pull it out?

Host Captain_Turner says:
*Security*: Turner to Security. Please escort Mr. Walker to my quarters.

CNS_Irane says:

Alaer says:
@ CTO: Or more properly , die again ?

CTO_Augustus says:
@Alear/Lehari: You will not die I am here to help

XO_Gleisen says:
CEO: You figure out how to grab a shuttle from inside their ship, and I'll say yes. Deal?

Civ_Walker says:
::Hopes up on the bed, and kneels down to the CNS:: CNS: I believe you're both in breach of contract. ::grins a sly grin::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::TL arrives near SB::

Lehari says:
@CTO: We meet again, Mr. Augustus.

CTO_Augustus says:
@Aleara: You call that living?  Maybe a second chance as a slave?

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the CIV:: CIV: What was that?

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Sir do you want him back in our shuttle bay?

CTO_Augustus says:
@Lehari: Ma'am

Alaer says:
@ CTO: It has it's recompense ::smiles with a sidelong glance at Lehari ::

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: their landing bay doors are open sir, we need only get the QIb on a line of sight and in range

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Walks from the TL to SB and enters::

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: If you could get him here, that would be perfect. Problem is getting him here.

Civ_Walker says:
::Grins some more, still crowched down buts tood on the biobed:: CNS: hehe, you see, I read your contract. No Securty....

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods to Q`tor, and turns to Conn:: FCO: You heard the man.

CTO_Augustus says:
@Alear: I see, but is it right?  Is it proper to be used by someone like they are using you know and in the future? Shouldn't it be your choice?

OPS_Mayfair says:
::takes control of the Challengers helm controls and starts to bring them back::

FCO_Meyi says:
XO: Aye sir. ::brings the QIb around, towards the cargo bay of the alien ship::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::is wondering why the CTO would knowningly disobey orders::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the CIV: CIV: Mr. Walker, do you rather I will carry you  there?

Alaer says:
@CTO: I was given the choice, we all were, I was just glad that I had the choice to make

CTO_Augustus says:
::Closes the CB doors keeping him locked in the vessel::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: You broke the contract first Walker. You agreed to this meeting and its at my discretion where its held. But if you want to play the loop hole game.............::Grabs Walkers arm::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: I'll escort you myself.

Civ_Walker says:
::Grins:: CNS:: Ooo Yes please... ::Grins then giggles alittle:: CNS: I don't think so.

Civ_Walker says:
CO: I agreed to the meeting, not the location.

CEO_Q`tor says:
Self: QI' yaH! XO: Sir the Landing bay doors are now closed

CTO_Augustus says:
@alear: I see and how where you giving a choice?  They brought you back alive, and then asked?  How do you know tha tit wasn't somehow programmed into you when they brought you back alive?

XO_Gleisen says:
CEO: ::nods:: Figures. All: Ok everyone, I need some suggestions, how are we going to get him out of there?

Alaer says:
@ CTO: I know....

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: You agreed to the meeting and its going to be held where the Counselor and I agreed upon.

OPS_Mayfair says:

CTO_Augustus says:
@COM: Qlb: OPS: Wait one Commander::shuts off comm again::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO:Beam over Sir, take command of that away mission.

Human says:
@CTO: We man the tanks together... we know what happens...

CTO_Augustus says:
@Alear: you know what?

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Sir, perhaps we should contact the Val Rae and have them open their own doors, and lock them open until we can recover the Challenger

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Drags Walker along out of SB and motions for the Counselor to follow::

CNS_Irane says:
CO: Sir, that sort of thing is not needed, nor helping ::Don't know what to do::

CTO_Augustus says:
@Lehari: And you, what about your family, you know your husband is in the same condition as you?

Alaer says:
@ CTO: We know what is done and what is not,  as Lehari says , we man the tanks and aid in the revival, it is a second chance at life

Civ_Walker says:
::Tuts:: CO: I agreed to the meeting.. ::grabs the Captains arm and throws it away, hopping over the biobed::

Lehari says:
@CTO: Husband?

Host Captain_Turner says:
CNS: Neither is pampering him Counselor. If you ask me this kid had enough of that already.

ACTION  The Challenger approaches the entrance to the shuttlebay

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks over at the CO:: CO: Touch me again, I'll have you done for assault.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::wonders if the CTO goes renegade often::

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: he is almost inside

CTO_Augustus says:
@Lehari: Yes your husband from your previous life, alera: you man the tanks giving people a chance does it give you the ability to fix your past life mistakes?

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Mr. Walker, that's enough!

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: Get a security team down there, right away. I want Augustus locked up.

CTO_Augustus says:
::notices that he is almost back on the Qlb::

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: I quite agree. I think this meeting is over... Enough 'bonding' for one day...

XO_Gleisen says:
::gets up, heading for the TL:: OPS: You have the bridge commander. CEO: Q`tor, you're with me.

Alaer says:
@ CTO: Can anyone undo their past mistakes? That is not possible for any to safely do... but we can try to give otehrs a second chance to put things right

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Jacin sits stunned by what his superior has done::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: You can't.................::Sees its a waste of words::

OPS_Mayfair says:
*Security* Go to the bay and take Lt Augustus under custody. ::grins a little::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: Fine I'll have security do it.

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Aye sir ::follows the XO

Civ_Walker says:
CO: Do what?

XO_Gleisen says:
::in the turbolift, he orders the shuttlebay, and after the refit it actually works, and moves at a decent pace::

XO_Gleisen says:
CEO: You grab a phaser from the bridge?

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at both of them:: Self: Males and their egos

CTO_Augustus says:
@alear: No there is no second chance.  When you die you die and your life is over.  Tell me I can fix my mistakes from my first life maybe but otherwise no second chance

Host Captain_Turner says:
Security: Please esort Mr. Walker to the Brig and have my quarters scanned and searched for any.......................well for anything. I don't trust this kid. Turner out.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::switching over to tactical sensors she scans the other ship's systems, making sure it's not powering any weapons::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: You're going back to the Brig till you learn to behave.

Alaer says:
@CTO: Can you not, if you do not happen to die, strive to put things right for those you have harmed in the past ?

Civ_Walker says:
::Pulls a Hypospray out of his pocket which he stole earlier::

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Activates the cloaking device on the Challenger::

Human says:
@CTO: Would you pass up a second chance on life given the choice? You've made mistakes before

XO_Gleisen says:
*OPS*: Mayfair, don't let him out of that shuttle until I get there. ::turbolift doors open and he walks out and into the shuttlebay::

CNS_Irane says:
Captain: That is not neccesary, if I may take him to my office to talk with him alone?

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: No sir, but I will grab one out of a weapons locker before we reach the Challenger

CTO_Augustus says:
@alear: That should be your goal, but it doesn't work that way or harmony would rule

Civ_Walker says:
CO: why not just send me to my shoe-box-for-quarters.... almost as much room.

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: I'll try sir

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks confused:: CIV: Your what?

XO_Gleisen says:
::enters the shuttlebay just as the Challenger cloaks:: Self: Wonderful.

CTO_Augustus says:
@Lehari: Yes I have and I am trying to make admends for them now can't you see that?

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Closes Bay doors::

Alaer says:
@ CTO: I know, but we can at least try

Host Captain_Turner says:
CNS: You can talk to him in the Brig. I've had enough of this. ::Turns to leave::

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* lt what do you think you are doing?

CTO_Augustus says:
@aleara: try trying is useless,

CNS_Irane says:
Captain: Please, as a favor to me, let me take him to my office

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Taps commbadge again before he leaves:: *OPS*: Turner to Mayfair.

Lehari says:
@CTO: We'll die away from the ship.

Civ_Walker says:
::In a sarcastic and generally smug attitude:: CO: Bye-Bye Captain... have a nice day

CTO_Augustus says:
::takes his comm badge off and hands it to Jacin::

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Not to worry sir. ::goes over to a computer console and begins setting up a tachyon field around the location of the Challenger

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: Who has the command codes for the Challenger? Can't you override Augustus' command of the shuttle?

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CO* Sir

CTO_Augustus says:
Lehari: Then I guess we will die together.

CNS_Irane says:
::Turns mad at the CIV::

Human says:
@CTO: You wish to be known as a murderer?

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: I'm sure you're happy now?

OPS_Mayfair says:
SO: I'm trying

Host Captain_Turner says:
*OPS*: My quarters are being searched for...............well nevermind. Please set up alternate quarters till I have a report from security.

Civ_Walker says:
::sighs and lies back on the biobed::

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Gladius has his security measures sir, but I built the Challenger

CTO_Augustus says:
@Lehari: I already am that is the problem.  That is what started it all remember.  your husband!

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CO* Sir do you need your quarters now

Alaer says:
@ Lehari: He does not understand this life we now lead, he thinks of it as enslavement...when it is no more enslavement than our older life

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CO* we have a situation right now up here

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Answer me!

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Runs an electrical impulse to the hull of the shuttle::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::activates the tachyon field::

Human says:
@CTO: Two wrongs won't make a right.

CTO_Augustus says:
@Lehari: Matter of opinions isn't it

CNS_Irane says:
::Realizes she is yelling:: CIV: I.. I'm sorry Walker ::Regains her calm:: let's head back to the brig

Host Captain_Turner says:
*OPS*: Situation? I'm on my way. Have a junior crewman set up the quarters. Turner out. ::Heads for the TL::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::wonders what is wrong with the CO's quarters now::

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CO* aye sir:

CTO_Augustus says:
@Aleara: You worried about dying again as well?

Civ_Walker says:
::grins,looking at the CNS:: CNS: Oh, just extattic counsellor... just exstatic.

Lehari says:
@CTO: So it's a prisoner with you or as you put it, a prisoner on the ship.
