CNS_Irane says:
::Turns around in a corridor, noticing the brig area::

Host Jim says:
@COMM:QIb: Captain , Very well

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: We can use nucleonic particles to penetrate the shields, it will at least allow someone to try and talk some sense into him.

CNS_Irane says:
*CEO* What is your current location, sir?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::continues to input command codes into the computer::

XO_Gleisen says:

OPS_Mayfair says:
:: looks at the CO:: SO: try it, Lt

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Keep trying Commander. I want him out of that ship.

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CNS*: Main Cargo Bay Counselar

::gladius simply starts to stay one step and that is al he needs ahead of Qtor::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Aye sir

CNS_Irane says:
*CEO* I will bring the CIV in a few moments sir.

CNS_Irane says:
::Enters the brig area gasping for air:: CIV: L.. L.. Lets go, Mr. Walker

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks back at his pisoners::

Civ_Walker says:
::Yawns and stand up in his cell, stretching out a bit::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::begins to send nucleonic particles with the communications link to the Challenger::

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Sir, I need your command codes to override Augustus' security overrides

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Taps his commbadge:: *XO*: Turner to Gleisen.

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Lets see, I need to stay one step ahead of them here and I ned information

CNS_Irane says:
::Turns off the force field:: CIV: Wake up! ::Shakes him softly::

Alaera says:
::looks back impassively ::

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks at the CNS:: CNS: What I'm needed again?

CTO_Augustus says:
Alerar: So tell me bout this process of rebirth I might need it shortly is it worth it?

XO_Gleisen says:
CEO: Alright, step aside a second...::puts his command codes in for Q`tor to work with::

XO_Gleisen says:
::steps back:: *CO*: Gleisen here, go ahead Captain.

Civ_Walker says:
::Steps out to cell:: CNS: What is it now?

CTO_Augustus says:
::changes frequency settings again to the shields:

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: You are going to help the CEO. Now, let's hurry there

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CNS*: Time is of the essance counselar

Host Captain_Turner says:
*XO*: What's going on down there Number One?

CNS_Irane says:
*CEO* On my way, Sir

Alaera says:
CTO: It has it's good points and bad, if gives you a new life, but you can never go home again, there are things that you need that the Federation can not make

CNS_Irane says:
::Pushes the CIV forward:: CIV: Run

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: this should slow down Security::activates alevel 3 forcefield in front of te Cargo bay doors using his tractor beam::

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CTO*: Gladius, answer me

XO_Gleisen says:
*CO*: Q`tor is working on a way to bring down the Challenger's shields sir. We're trying everything we have, but so far it's been in vain. I'll keep you aprised.

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: I don't run ::Walks briskly towards themain cargo bay::

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: Like what do you mean, what do you have that Federation tech can not give?

Alaera says:
CTO: There are elements that are artificially made in their reactors that are essential for our lives

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks around as an alarm goes off::

Host Captain_Turner says:
*XO*: I'll keep this channel open then. Standing by.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::looking for a way to drain the power from the Challenger::

CTO_Augustus says:
Aleara:::Laughs:: What do you need tolive that is radioactive that should kill a human or humanoid body

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: So, you gonna tell me what I'm getting into this time?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::now working with the XO's command codes, agfain tries gaining computer control of the Challenger::

XO_Gleisen says:
::looks at Q`tor working, feeling a bit helpless right now::

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Cammander Mayflower, you almost got me on that one.  ::Activates a secondary power supply from the SCI concole:

Alaera says:
CTO: The substance is not radioactive, at least in the form given, but it does degrade quickly

CNS_Irane says:
::Just now catched her breath:: CIV: I will let the CEO explain this

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: So that is why I need to get you back, before it is to late?

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CTO*: Gladius, Q'tor here, answer me!

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: Is it like a drug?

CNS_Irane says:
::Notices the cargo bay:: CIV: Here we are

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns to the SO:: Lt, while Commander Mayfair is attempting to power down the Challenger and beam Lt. Augustus out, I want you to look for more holes in the shields. He can't have full shields or he'd be bouncing around the cargo bay.

Alaera says:
CTO: It is like nourishment, without it we die

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Aye Sir.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Hears his friend barking outside, and sends alow frequency pitch out into the cargobay::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::sees some success:: XO: Sir, I have gained partial access, but it's still not enough to shut down all systems

Civ_Walker says:
CNS: Great... ::Enters the Main Cargobay and takes a look arround::

CTO_Augustus says:
Aleara: nourishment, well we al die with out air, and food water the essentials

CNS_Irane says:
::Notices the CEO, she begins walking to him::

A LOUD RAUCOUS NOISE IS HEARD IN THE BAY

SO_Lorenzo says:
::continues scanning for a weakness in the Challenger's field integrity::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::whisphers a couple of curses at Gladius::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::turns to see the CNS and Walker enter::

XO_Gleisen says:
CEO: Get the cloak down first of all, then shields. Everything else isn't that important...::grabs his ears from the noise:: What is that?

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: I want to know how you gave permission to be brought back to life, I mean technically you were dead right?

Aleara says:
CTO: It is like air to us

CNS_Irane says:
CEO: I got the CIV ::Points at him::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: ::shouting:: Mr Walker, I need your assistance, and this is no time for your foolishness. I need you to assist me in getting computer control of the Challenger

Aleara says:
CTO: the first thing we are asked when we are "brought back" is if we want to remain alive, and we can die once more, we just have to stop "eating"

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: So you have a chemical in the air that keeps ypou alive then?  Maybe I can reproduce it or the Federation can.  Then you an go home see your fa mily

CEO_Q`tor says:
::attempts to shut down the Challengers cloak::

CTO_Augustus says:
::stops at the words he has heard::

Civ_Walker says:
::Shouts back:: CEO: What are we trying to do?

XO_Gleisen says:
::looks around for the Strike Team:: Self: Where are you guys...

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: You....you mean you are dead brough back and if you want to die, they kill you by not supply the chemical you need to sustain life?

Strika Team Alpha says:
::arrives in the cargo bay and heads over to the XO. The leader steps forward:: XO: Strike Team Alpha, reporting as ordered sir.

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: I am trying to gain computer control of the Challenger's systems, but Mr. Augustus is stayiong one step ahead of me. I need your assistance in outracing him

Civ_Walker says:
::Shouts as he walks over to a display:: CEO:Show me a Schamattic of the, the uhm.... the uhm..... the Columbia? will you?

CEO_Q`tor says:
Computer: Computer, bring up Challenger schematics for Mr. Walker

XO_Gleisen says:
STA_Leader: Ok, Mr Augustus is in the Challenger over there, and we can't get him out. The moment you can get in there, do it. He's also got two prisoners, and if they are harmed in any way, it will be your head. Understood?

Aleara says:
CTO: Exactly

Civ_Walker says:
::Shouting still and pointing at the display:: CEO: This the cloak?

Strike Team Alpha says:
XO: Understood sir. ::the leader motions for his team to move around, circling the Challenger::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::looks over at Mr Walker's display and shouts:: CIV: Yes

Aleara says:
CTO: Or we can stop taking it and die, and we have had those who have "Visited" their families from time to time

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks around quietly, waiting for an order::

Civ_Walker says:
::looks up:: CEO: Which was is the shuttle facing?

CTO_Augustus says:
ALera: So basically you conform or they killyou, I don't know if that is such a good deal for me? sounds like the borg in some sense

XO_Gleisen says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Gleisen. We have Strike Team Alpha down here, ready to bust into the shuttle at a moments notice. Mr Walker is also here, helping Q`tor.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Waits to hear more reports on this "situation" while he lets his crew work at getting Augustus out::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::starts to get a headache from the frustration of the shields::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::points:: CIV: That way

Aleara says:
CTO: They only withhold it as an ultimate punishment, such as if you try to kill the ship

CTO_Augustus says:
::Through his communicator on transmit only he sends th communication to Captain Turner::

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: Ok, got a hand phaser?

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CO*: Sir, if you could input your command codes, I think we will stand a much better chance

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Captain sensors detect no gaps in the Challenger shields.  Perhaps if the security team just aims phaser rifles at the hatch it will drain the shields enough to get them inside?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::points to a weapons locker nearby:: CIV: Over there, but the Challenger's shields are up also

CTO_Augustus says:
ALera: let me get this right...you are asked if you wanted to be alive again, then become dependant on a chemical in the air.  If you want to die you have to stop taking the chemical in order to kill yourself which is suicide

Host Captain_Turner says:
SO: Or it could ricochet and hurt someone. Keep looking for gaps.

Aleara says:
CTO: Life for us is not bad, and we learn new things, we hope to learn enough to one day bring the knowledge back

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: Then you either serve them to live or you choose to die because they will not kill you because it damages the ship?  Right?

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: all we need to do is overload the cloak.....

OPS_Mayfair says:
::works frantically to drain the Challenger's power supply::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::shakes her head, this is too much... hostile alien ships don't give us this much trouble to break into::  CO:Aye, Sir.

Aleara says:
CTO: Do you not also serve aboard your ship? I know I did , in order to live the life I would lead

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: A Direct shot at the clocking device with a hand phaser should be enough to disrupt the clocking field and bring her out into the open.

Host Captain_Turner says:
*XO*: Have Alpha team stay on standby. I'll leave them at your command.

XO_Gleisen says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CEO*: I'll input my command codes now Commander.

Aleara says:
CTO: I know it sounds bad to you , if you lived with us a short time you would understand, we laugh , we live and we love

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: Of course, well I did

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: A hand phaser won't penetrate the shields

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CO*: thank you sir

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: So what happens if you get attacked by the Borg you are ready to accept that fate as well

CEO_Q`tor says:
::awaits the signal that the Captain's command codes have been recieved::

Civ_Walker says:
::Grows iritated and turns arround 360 degree while he thinks:: CEO: Then help me set up a tachyon pulse, it will force him to reset his shield harmonics, if he doesn't he'll risk overloading every system on board.

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: I am attempting to use the Captain's command codes to gain control of the Challenger's systems, and then shut everything down

CNS_Irane says:
CEO: Do you need me, or should I head to the brige?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: I already tried a tachyon burst

CNS_Irane says:
<bridge>

Host Jim says:
<Alaera>  ::chuckles:: CTO: I think all who have done so have had no choice in the matter, in this we are similar, I was dead.... I was brought back to life and given a choice... I choose to live

CTO_Augustus says:
::Sends a power boost to the power supplyhe has rigged from the impulse engies directly::

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks down at his wrists:: CEO: THen remove these ::Gestures to his hand cuffs:: and I can get on with it.

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: and you are ok with that?

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CEO* Q'tor he activated a second power supply I'm attempint to shut it down but it is not working you may want to try from down there

CEO_Q`tor says:
CNS: No Counselar, unless you feel that you can somehow talk some sense into Lt Augustus

SO_Lorenzo says:
::continues she scans of the Challenger, trying to match it's shield frequency::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns to the computer:: Computer: Computer, temporary Command and Security code and protocol override allow Lt. Commander Q'tor access to override all security and command restrictions and safetys.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::motions for a security guy to remove Walkers restraints::

CNS_Irane says:
CEO: Do you have Communication on, Sir?

Aleara says:
CTO: Had I had the choice while alive, I would have wanted to serve with these, they are good "people".. if nothing else but for what I am learning

XO_Gleisen says:
::instead of going through the computer for his comm with Augustus, he tries just the old fashioned communicator tap:: *CTO*: Gleisen to Augustus.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hears a transmission begin to come over his commbadge alone and recognizes Lt. Augustus voice::

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: Ok, let me explain, a Tachyon pulse would force him to reset his shield harmonics, coupled with a shot from a hand phaser at the clocking device should declock the challenger atleast.

Computer says:
CO: Affirmative

CEO_Q`tor says:
CNS: I have, but he's not responding

CTO_Augustus says:
::bypasses a few of Qtors stints and tries to send a pulse to the klaxon in the cago bay indicating depressurization::

CNS_Irane says:
::Nods:: *CTO* Can you hear me CTO?

A Klaxon Sounds in the Cargo bay

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Captain, the Cargo bay is depressurising!

Civ_Walker says:
::After the shckles are removed puts his hands on the warm console and starts typing::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Standby Mr. Walker, I have command authorization now ::inputs more commands into the computer using the command codes from the Captain::

XO_Gleisen says:
::looks up as the klaxon goes off:: All: Everyone, out, now!

ACTION  Power fades from within and without the Challenger

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: you would freely if you hadn't been dead addict yourself to a chemical to work and live withthese people?  Then why haven't they offered their great life to others?

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Sir, I almost have it!!!

XO_Gleisen says:
*CO*: Captain, stop the depressurization from up there!

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CTO*: Augustus! Augustus! Is that you?! What the hell are you doing?!

SO_Lorenzo says:
::Attempts to lock onto Augustus::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Works to presurized the cargo bay and keep it that way::

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera:  I can not believe that they would open their doors for me?  You think I could go ther e and join you?  Or do I have to die first?

Aleara says:
CTO: They do not wish to normally come into contact with those so technologically backwards as us, they also have a Prime Directive, they do as they do because they must

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hearing no response realizes it must be on transmit only then hears the XO:: *XO*: I'm on it Commander!

CEO_Q`tor says:
::inputs more commands into the computer:: Computer: Come on, give me control!

Civ_Walker says:
::Keeps working at the console to try and negociate with the Challengersc computer::

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: ::looking out the windows at the CB:: That should hold them.  Sorry guys

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: We tried giving it a cold yet?

CTO_Augustus says:
Alera: Backwards

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns to Mayfair:: OPS: Stop that depressurization now Commander!

CNS_Irane says:
::Heads to TL::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: If that is what it takes, do it

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: We almost have it

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: it is not depresurising sir

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: It'll take a few minutes to prepare a virus, should I even try?

XO_Gleisen says:
::walks slowly over to Q`tor, klaxons still blaring, but obviously not doing anything now:: CEO: ETA Commander?

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: just the Klaxons

Host Captain_Turner says:
Self: What the?

CTO_Augustus says:
::sets up a complete forcefield around the Challenger, level 4::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::turns to Mayfair, not quite understanding what she means::  OPS: So, why the klaxons?

CTO_Augustus says:
::reverses polarity of the shields as a last attmpt::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Breaths a sigh of relief at what Lt. Commander Mayfair has just told him::

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: I have it sir!! Computer: Computer, shut down ALL Challenger systems now!

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Good we we're having enough trouble as it is.

XO_Gleisen says:
CEO: ::smiles:: Excellent work commander. ::motions to the Strike Team to move in::

CTO_Augustus says:
::uns over locking the Challenger door by jamming the mechanism::

OPS_Mayfair says:
FCO: Augustus is definitely Nuts

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Runs over to Challenger's hatch to open it up::

CNS_Irane says:
::Exits the TL and enters the bridge::

XO_Gleisen says:
::runs to the back of the Challenger, and motions for the Strike Team to bust the door open::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::nods:: Yes, ma'am  ::turns back to his console, utterly confused::

CTO_Augustus says:
*CO*: Sir did you get that transmission? ::activating his communicator to receive and send::

Civ_Walker says:
::Overhears the CEO:: CEO: In that case, I'm prepares a forcefield arorund the transporter Pad in Transporter Room Two.... ::Smiles:: Just in case.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::her headach gets worse::

The Door Swings on it's hinges, letting in light

Strike Team Alpha says:
::Tries the door padd, when that doesn't work they use phasers to cut a hole in the door::

CNS_Irane says:
::Notices the CO, she walks to him::

CTO_Augustus says:
ALL: Stay back for just one moment::very sternly said::

Civ_Walker says:
::Prepares the Forcefield arround the transporter Pad - Just incase::

CTO_Augustus says:
*CO*: I said sir did you receive my transmission?

Strike Team Alpha says:
::three strike team members rush in, phaser's drawn, followed by another 4. Gleisen is inbetween the two waves::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::yelling inside the Challenger:: CTO: Gladius, can you hear me? Stop this foolishness!

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: They have the doors open Sir.

OPS_Mayfair says:
SO: Do you have a lock on him??

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks over at Alera::

Alaera says:
::looks at those who rush in ::

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: Gladius, time to come out. It's over, you've lost.

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CTO*: Its about bloody time Lt! What's going on down there?!

CEO_Q`tor says:
::runs in pushing his way through the security::

XO_Gleisen says:
::grabs Q`tor:: CEO: Wait, commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
::holds his hand up to his men and the XO:: *CO*: Did you copy my transmission

SO_Lorenzo says:
::gets a lock on Lt. Augustus and tries to beam him into an awaiting cell in the brig:: Ops: Aye, Ma'am.

CNS_Irane says:
::Walks quietly closer, trying to listen to the CTO/CO::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::seeing that the CTO has been transported out, turns to leave the Challenger::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Gladius! Would you dishonor yourself this way? The ship? Me?

XO_Gleisen says:
::motions to the Strike Team, two of the men walk up and grab hold of Augustus, handcuffing him with the same cuffs that were on Walker when he entered::

Civ_Walker says:
::Considders the possibilities of being here, in the cargobay, left alone, with comuter access::

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CTO*: Nevermind............I want you to report to my Ready Room with Commander Gleisen right now!! Turner out!

THE CTO IS BEAMED TO THE BRIG

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO:  ::raises his voice:: I said wait and I mean it

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns around and exits the Challenger, now that they have Augustus in the brig, and heads for it::

XO_Gleisen says:
::exits the CB and enters the TL across the hall, ordering the brig::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::automates the forcefields on the cell from her sci console::

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks up at Q`tor as he leave the shuttle while he works, but says nothing::

OPS_Mayfair says:
*Security* Keep Lt Augustus under constant surveilance he is on the brig

CEO_Q`tor says:
::turning as he leaves the Challenger: Self: Why Gladius?

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: He is in the brig Ma'am.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::nods at SO::

Alaera says:

CTO_Augustus says:
::arrives in the brig safely::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Stops before reaching the TL and turns back to the Challenger::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Looks in on the aliens:: Alaera: perhaps you should accompany me

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hearing the OPS beam out order:: OPS: I want Augustus and Commander Gleisen in my Ready Room ASAP.

Alaera says:
CEO: Very well ::follows::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Sir are you sure you want him at your RR?

Civ_Walker says:
::Feels kinda left out of the fun again, but is being a good boy today so just stands right where he was left::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I got all the information I needed send him back::looks very urgently at teh XO::

CEO_Q`tor says:
Alaera: I'm sure the Captain will have you sent back very soon

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: with out a chemical in the air he will die, sir please send him back

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: he is on the brig I suggest you go down there.

Alaera says:
CEO: This will be a good thing, as we are not back in about 30 minutes, we are to die

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Positive. :: Turns to walk to the his Ready Room::

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: I've told you, Q`tor is taking care of it. And you can't seriously think I'm going to allow you to take him back there again?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Yells:: CIV: Mr. Walker. Good work. Now if you would come with me

Civ_Walker says:
::Gives up on the goodboy routine and walks over to the Challenger to take a look inside::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Sir Positive what??

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: I have a gut feeling and I hope its right. Have a security detail escort them just in case. You have the bridge.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Enters his RR::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Why not I had a job to do!  I did it, and got the quetions answered that everyone wanted.  Now I am a criminal in my own brig?  That is poetic justice!

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Aye sir. Should I send the hostages back?

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks annoyed at the Captain, wondering why she was ignored::

Civ_Walker says:
::Takes a peak inside the Challenger to check out the trim:: Self: went for the all extras package ::Then turns to lok at the CEO:: CEO: Uhm...yeah... coming...

OPS_Mayfair says:
*XO* Sir have a security team to escort you and Lt Augustus to the Captain's Ready Room

SO_Lorenzo says:
::watches the Ops and CO::

Civ_Walker says:
::Hits the pad next to the Door of the challenger to seal the hatch while it diagnoses itself and then catches up with Q`tor. ::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::waits for Mr Walker to catch up and then enters the TL:: TL: Bridge

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: You did it? You think you did it? How stupid do I look Augustus?!? Your orders were to secure the area for an away team to beam over, and you bloody well kidnapped two of their crew members!!! ::really, really mad now:: *OPS*: Understood commander.

OPS_Mayfair says:
Self: not a good idea he should stay lock in that brig

Alaera says:
::leans against the wall of the TL ::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I should have known better, always the people who do the dirty work get ignored once the task is finished

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Says through the closing RR doors:: OPS: Send them back.

Civ_Walker says:
:Waits quietly in the TL with Q`tor::

XO_Gleisen says:
::looks over at the security team:: Sec: I want him in shackles before he goes anywhere.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Sir are you sure you have all the information?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::agrees with the Ops officer... was about to tell her, but remembered that humans don't like it when people read their minds::

OPS_Mayfair says:
SO: Who is on the shuttle with "our guest"?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Steps out of the TL and onto the bridge with his "guests":: OPS: Commander, what should I do with ours guests?

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: We'll talk about the rest with the captain. ::the security guys finish locking Gladius up, and Gleisen shuts down the forcefield:: You know the way to the RR.

OPS_Mayfair says:
CEO: send them back Cmdr

CNS_Irane says:
::Steps back as the group pass::

Alaera says:
::is noticably paler ::

OPS_Mayfair says:
Alaera: I apologize

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: Ma'am?  Our guests have just arrived.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at his Security Officers and wonders would they go al the way?::

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Aye Commander

XO_Gleisen says:
::walking with Augustus, he gets into the TL and orders the bridge::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO :aye sir ::heads out the door::

Civ_Walker says:
::Scratches an Itch on his nose and then realises he hans black grease stuff on his fingers from the challenger door and wipes it off his hands on his shirt and then rubs the grease on his nose, smearing it on his face, but thinking it's gone::

Turbolift says:
Whoosh oosh oosh

CEO_Q`tor says:
Alaera: If you will follow me we will have you back momentarily

Civ_Walker says:
::Steps onto the bridge unwittingly and quietly waits at the outskirts::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::looking at the two guests that caused all the fuss::

XO_Gleisen says:
::arrives on the bridge and crosses it to the RR, trying to get there as fast as possible to save Augustus from being around the rest of the crew. He taps the door bell::

Alaera says:
CEO: This is a good thing, I fear I may have overestimated the time

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks at the CIV shocked:: CIV: Hrm, Mr. Walker?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Wait here for me Mr. Walker. And so try to stay out of trouble

Civ_Walker says:
::smiles at Q`tor alittle sarcastically as if to say "would I?" then looks at the CNS:: CNS: Counselor?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Steps back onto the TL:: TL: Transporter room two

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Your face..

Host Captain_Turner says:
Door: Come in.

Civ_Walker says:
::Quietly:: CNS: What about my face?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Walks around his desk and stares out a veiw port::

OPS_Mayfair says:
:: sits on the CO's chair obviously annoyed::

XO_Gleisen says:
::walks in:: CO: I have Augustus here sir. ::security pushes Augustus over to a chair::

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at the CO, not giving an inch or flinching::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::as the TL doors are closing:: CIV: In a few minutes Mr. Walker

CNS_Irane says:
CIV: Go look at your face ::Tries to stop her self from laughing::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Steps out of the TL and into the transporter room:: Alaera: If you and your companion would care to step up onto the transporter pad

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Keeps his back facing the CTO and XO and stares into space:: CTO: Care to explain yourself Lt. Junior Grade.  ::Emphasises the last part::

Civ_Walker says:
::Confused:: CNS: I know what my face looks like.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks back at the XO: XO: Sir, with much respect I would relax, ::looks at his Ensign::  Ensign:Ensign take these cuffs off me

XO_Gleisen says:
Ensign: Stay where you are ensign.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Looks back at teh CO::

Host Captain_Turner says:
Ensign: Belay that order.

CNS_Irane says:
::Frowns:: CIV: Your face is coverd with greese, Mr. Walker

Alaera says:
::Helps his lady on the padd and staggers up as well::  CEO: I thank you

Host Captain_Turner says:
Ensign: Leave him cuffed.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I want answers, NOW!

Civ_Walker says:
::Rubs his face but just smears it even more::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Explain sir,?  I thought you understood according to Starfleet Commadn any order given is done to the fullest extent

CTO_Augustus says:
Ensign:: Off Now!

CEO_Q`tor says:
Alaera: My apologies for the actions of my crew mate ::activates the transporter::

CNS_Irane says:
::Begins to burst into giggles:: CIV: Go wash your face Walker, that an order ::smiles widely::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Spins around in the Co's Chair:: All: Anyone up to a nice vacation??

Alaera says:
CEO: I am sure it was just a misundersta...

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: You're exact orders where to secure the area for an away team to beam over. How do you expect us to believe you were following that order when we just spent an hour trying to pry you out of the cloaked shuttle??

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Oh by the way unless you want Alera to die you better get him back to them, I was trying to wenyo cut power to the Challenger

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I'm listening.

CEO_Q`tor says:
Turns and heads back to the bridge::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Commander Mayfair is taking care of Alaera.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::watches the Ops officer spin in the Captains chair..... what is it with other officers wanting to 'play' in the Captain's seat?::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Well, sir I volunteered for that, yes!  However... the previous orders were still ineffect

Civ_Walker says:
::Smiles and laughs a bit:: CNS: I'll do it later I guess.

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: What previous order?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Thank you sir, I dont want to hear about someone dying and being brought back to life dying and well you understand

FCO_Ranahi says:
:;turns to Mayfair::  OPS: What did you have in mind, sir?

CNS_Irane says:
::Shakes her head and turns to the OPS:: OPS: Are you okay Ma'am, you feel tensed.. is there any thing I can do to help?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::enters the bridge looking very ill tempered, and calls sternly:: CIV: Mr Walker!

OPS_Mayfair says:
FCO: somewhere fun budd... err.. Mr Ranahi ::smiles::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Now continue with your explanation.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Sir, remember 3 months ago we were ordered to navigate map and investigate sector, well I dont remember the sector but we came across the Val`Mat then and we never finished our survey

Civ_Walker says:
::looks over at Q`tor, been shouted at enough already this week to not be moved by it::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CNS: take me on vacation:: smiles::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::nods::  OPS: Yes, sir  ::plots a course to Risa::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: OK, well Cmdr McCellan was foounf and stated he was brought back to life with no memeories right XO?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Listens to the CTO::

OPS_Mayfair says:
FCO: Err.. Mr Ranahi... what are yoy doing??

CEO_Q`tor says:
::walks over to Walker:: CIV: Mr. Walker ::softens his demeaner just a bit:: You did well. I thank you

CNS_Irane says:
::Laughes:: OPS: You and me both ::walks around slowly, not in the mood to sit down::

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: Ma'am, I think your vacation will have to wait.  I'm detecting a rift opening in subspace.

FCO_Ranahi says:
OPS: Taking you on a much needed vacation, sir  ::grins to himself::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: So I figured to accomplish the mission we needed information.  My scans from the Challenger and the recordings of the conversation will explain the rest

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: I believe the exact wording of that order is "as is practical". In truth, you broke the Prime Directive, and the exact wording of that is "All loses are tolerated as long as they are necesary for the protection of this order".

SO_Lorenzo says:
::operating sensors to scan the rift::

Civ_Walker says:
::sounds Jokingly:: CEO: You wanna thank me, don't let 'him' put me back in a cell.

OPS_Mayfair says:
:Stands up and quickly tursn to SO: What??

CTO_Augustus says:
XO/CO: I mean they reincarnate the body ask it if it wants to live, the kill te by refusing the drug wi=hich is adminstered through the air to them.  If they do not want to live they have to kil themselves

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns around and taps his computer console::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks up at the SO, wondering what is going on::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks up at the viewscreen in shock::

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CO* Sir you better come here I think we are about to have a bigger company

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: It's disgusting to us, lieutenant, but it is their way of life.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Now that is harsh sir.  You push me around, treat me like a criminal... I meanwhat ever happend till innocent until proven quilty.

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: And especially if they are voluntarily reincarnated, there is nothing we can do about that.

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: A rift is opening.  10 lightyears away.

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: That is not up to me. However, I do intend to mention your assistance to the Captain, and I am sure that if you continue to concentrate your...youthfull exuberance...in such a positive manner, he will consider being a bit more lenient with you

Host Captain_Turner says:
*OPS*: Standby maintain cloak. Turner out.

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: Its large Ma'am, very large.

OPS_Mayfair says:
Self: Standby?????

CEO_Q`tor says:
::goes over to the engineering station::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Listen, they take dead bodies, reanimate them ask them if they want to live.  Give them a drug to maintain their life force and tehn use them to accomplish things.  My job is to protect federation citezens, and I did that sir!::last portion is loudly said.::

CNS_Irane says:
SO: What are the power readings?

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: An enormous ship has just emerged and is on a direct course for our position.

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CO* With all due respect sir. It is large very large. You want to come out here NOW

OPS_Mayfair says:
FCO: Move us away

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: Oh...good...

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: ::yeling by now:: They are Federation citizens' until death!

FCO_Ranahi says:
OPS: Aye, sir.  ::maneuvers away::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Initially they are broght back top life, then asked

SO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: Its the Val'mat mother ship Ma'am.

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Commander, the vessel is the same as the Val'Mat mother ship that we encountered several months ago.

OPS_Mayfair says:
Self: great Mommy is here

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I disagree and I am sure allot of religious and purest alike would differ as well sir,  not to mention where is it written until death?

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: What are the core beliefs of the Federation lieutenant?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Gets seriously upset:: CTO: Stay here.

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: I believe it is the mother ship that the Val'Rae siad they were awaiting

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: You're with me Commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Walks towards the bridge and exits the RR::

XO_Gleisen says:
::frowns:: CO: Aye sir. Sec: Take him back to the brig for now.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Report!

SO_Lorenzo says:
::runs long range sensors to record everything she can about the mother ship::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: The Val' Mat is here sir

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns and exits onto the bridge::

Civ_Walker says:
::Walks over to the Engineering Console:: CEO: Uhm...what's going on?

CTO_Augustus says:
Ensign: Remove these shackels now, and that is an order!  I give you my word I will not do anyting

OPS_Mayfair says:
::goes to her station::

Host Jim says:
@COMM: QIB: Our Mother Ship approaches, we would thank you for your company

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: We encountered this vessel several months ago. It is the Val'Mat mother ship

XO_Gleisen says:
::heads to his seat on the bridge and sits, blocking out almost everything and thinking about Gladius::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Sir I guess they are not mad after all

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: Great and just when I'd decided that the only reason I'd follow Captain Turner into battle is out of curiousity....

Host Captain_Turner says:
COMM: VR: We're glad we could be of assistance. We're sorry for the "misunderstanding".

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: The Val'Rae said that they were expecting to conduct repairs

Ensign says:
CTO: Sir the Captain said not to.

Civ_Walker says:
CEO: What can I say, I haven't been keeping up with current events...

CTO_Augustus says:
Ensign: I said do so or you will be cleaning the targh cage

Civ_Walker says:
::Moves over to look at one of the Science consoles::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: I do not believe we will be going into battle....A shame really...It would be....Glorious!!!

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Whispers:: XO: You left Gladius in there alone?

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Mayfair:: OPS: Security is with him.

Ensign says:
CTO: I Can not , sir

SO_Lorenzo says:
::keeping up with her scans, she looks over at the approaching civilian::

CTO_Augustus says:
Ensign:  Ensign!

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns to Mayfair:: OPS: You have the bridge....................again. Maintain cloak and go to communications silence.

Civ_Walker says:
::Looks over some of the Scans of te vessel:: SO: Whoa! Very Cool......!

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Walks back to the RR:: XO: Lets try this again Number One.

CTO_Augustus says:
Ensign: One question? Are you more scared of me or the Captain, because if it is the Captain::raises his voice:: You are extremely mistaken!

XO_Gleisen says:
::jumps up:: CO: Aye sir.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::smiles at the civilians enthusiasm:: Civ: I agree.  But these scans don't show whats going on inside.

Ensign says:
::Glad he does not have to reply ::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hears the CTO's comment as he walks in:: CTO: I think its you that are mistaken Lt!

Civ_Walker says:
SO: Very Cool indeed.... Biological and Mechanical Systems workin in such a complex way.... ::Hits a button to bring up more info:: .... amazing really.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::overhearing the SO's comment:: SO: You don't WANT to know

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: No, sir he had better be highly concerned about me!  then you, sir

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: Now where were we?

Ensign says:
::keeps his mouth firmly shut::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::wonders what's going on in the RR wishing he could be there::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Save it Lt. I don't have time for arguments. Now just before we were "inturrupted", I saw the standing orders for this sector.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks over to the Ensign and smiles::

Civ_Walker says:
::Checks out parts of the Computer system readouts:: SO: Take a look at these neurokinettics, they're off the scale in their transmission time..... cool.

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: Perhaps we should take a look at the sensor logs of the Challenger? She was after all inside the Val'Rae.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir, and I was following orders once you review my scans

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I see you were acting on them and "technically" that clears you of all charges.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::accesses the Challenger records and brings them onto the science console::

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks out at the XO and then to the Ensign holding out his hands toward him::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Attention! Let me finish.

XO_Gleisen says:
::his mouth drops open as he looks at the Captain::

CTO_Augustus says:
::stands at attention::

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: Wouldn't you like to cooperate with us?  You'd get plenty of opportunities to study species and technology like you see here right now.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Knows what the Commander is thinking and he almost can't believe it himself::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: What you did was justified. How you did it WAS NOT.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: You're a cowboy, a mavrick, a hot head.

CIV__Walker says:
::Looks at the at the schemattics, ignoring the SO for the most of it:: SO: Ah-hu-ah-hu..... ::Pulls up the PDS Data::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: sir, sorry for interupting, but if I might explain

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I understand  people have their differences but...........

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Not another word.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Glares at the CTO::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye

SO_Lorenzo says:
::smiles as she lets Walker satisfiy his curiosity::

CIV__Walker says:
SO: Take a look at this, the power distribution is primarilly Plasma, but mixed in there is some kind of high density amino acid structures..... what do you think? food for te biological systems?

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks t teh XO out of the corner of his eye, noting his position on the subjest::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: There's a thing called the chain of command. That is what matters not what we think or want personally. Understood?

XO_Gleisen says:
::his face is unscrutible, inside he almost wishes he could punch Augustus in the face for what he's done, dishonoring the ship and all::

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: Could be.  Its also a weakness.  It is easier to tamper with biological systems.

CTO_Augustus says:
::stares at the CO::  CO: Yes ir

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Good. Now just before we left port Admiral Savek sent some orders through to be carried out at the end of our training which is now over.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir?

XO_Gleisen says:
::looks up at Turner, he didn't know about this::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: This isn't how I wanted to do this Mr. Augustus but......................

CEO_Q`tor says:
::walks over to the science console:: CIV: Mr Walker. As I said a few moments ago...we encountered this vessel several months ago, and were called to assist in it's repair. We have some much more throrough readings from that encounter. Would you care to review them?

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: It's good information to have for future use.

CIV_Walker says:
SO: I'm guessing that, in order to get the cellular energy they need, the Biological systems must use some form of Gluconeogenisis to form sugars from the amino acids...

CTO_Augustus says:
Self::in ahushed whisper:: great here it comes

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: By order of Starfleet Command, I hearby promote you to full Lieutenant with all the priviledges and responsibilities that accompany that rank. ::Pulls a pip from his desk drawer::

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: What?????????

XO_Gleisen says:
::frowns and almost screams out:: CO: What!?! You've got to be kidding!

SO_Lorenzo says:
::looks over at the CEO and nods:: Civ: Would you like to go with Q'tor? He would have more to show you.

CEO_Q`tor says:
SO: They are of course availble for your review Lt.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir I agree with the XO what's going on?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Pins the pip on Augustus collar:: Ensign: Now you can take the cuffs off. ::Still stern faced::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::nods again:: CEO: Thank you Commander.

Ensign says:
::takes the fetters loose and grins ::

CIV_Walker says:
CEO: Yeah, uh, sure, later... ::continues to almost drewl over the design of the ship::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns back around and looks out into space:: CTO: Do you like this ship? Its crew? Would you do anything for them?

CTO_Augustus says:
Ensign: you can see me later, about your new job with alpha ::in a whisper::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir, that is not a far question.  Of course I would

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Then do this one thing.................

Ensign says:
::Grins wider ::

XO_Gleisen says:
::shakes his head and turns to leave the RR::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV/SO: At your convenience

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: And thank you ::looking at his new shiny pip:;

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: Think of a way to break down their power source, it would be an invaluable tactic.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Stay put Commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Sir, I am sorry

CTO_Augustus says:
::feeling slightly ashamed of not trusting the Command Staff to asist::

XO_Gleisen says:
::stops at the door:: CO: ::trying very hard not to sound as angry as he is:: Aye sir.

CIV_Walker says:
::looking over the scans:: SO: Have you seen the propulsion systems yet?

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: I have a feeling this is not the last time we'll come across this ship.

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: No, this is my first look at her.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Trust me and all of your superiour officers and obey their orders, no matter how much you disagree or how much it hurts. We're in our positions for a reason. Understood?

CIV_Walker says:
SO: It appears they have about 5 different systems.... Impulse, Conventional Warp, Thrusters and then what looks like some form of biological propulsion system, similar to lamnar motion, and then another one.... difficult to identify.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Understood:: holds out his hand to the CO and to the XO:  I shall gentleman in the future do so

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Oh and one more thing, Commander Gleisen and I will be watching you and so will Lt. Commander Mayfair.

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Looks Graviton based.

Host Captain_Turner says:
:;Extends hand to shake the CTO's::

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: It is intrigueing, although engines are not my specialty.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Commander Mayfair sir

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Maybe similar to Coaxial Warp Theory?

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Think of it as an unofficial probation. If you want to earn that third pip one day you'll watch your self and C.Y.A.

CEO_Q`tor says:
Computer: Computer display all records pertaining to the Val'Mat mother ship

XO_Gleisen says:
::shakes Augustus' hand:: CTO: Congratulations are in order, I suppose. Don't let this go to your head though Gladius, these kinds of actions will not be tolerated in the future.

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: I would like a closer look at their ship.  Wouldn't it be nice to get to go on away missions?  Only way you'll get to do that is get into Q'tor's good graces.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: sir, I am sorry, for what it is worth

CIV_Walker says:
SO: I don't know about you but I'l like to take her out for a spin sometime, get to know her better....

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Dismissed Lt.

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods:: CTO: Apology accepted.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Waits for the CTO to leave::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: I assume my duties and responsibilities ar erestored and I have some work to do with the transporter systems

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: Gentleman::turns to leave the RR::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::looks over to the RR still worried about what is happening to Gladius::

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: Little bits at a time.  Show the Captain that you aren't just a kid with an attitude.  You'll be surprised at what he may allow you to do.

Host Captain_Turner says:
Computer: Computer, reinstate Lt. Augustus security and command protocols.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: They are now Lt. Dismissd.

CTO_Augustus says:
::exiits the RR and enters the Bridge, turning to the CO::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Thank you sir I accept them

SO_Lorenzo says:
::watches the CTO come out... wonders what happened in there::

CIV_Walker says:
SO: The interesting thing about this fifth propulsion system is that it's located at the forward end of the ship.... Suggests an impellor system rather than a propeller system.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at Qtor::

XO_Gleisen says:
::once Augustus has left:: CO: Sir, this is a disgrace to the ship, after what he's done...to reward him like this?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::sees Augustus leave the RR and notices the lack of shackles::

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO: And you questioned my honor?

CTO_Augustus says:
::walking over to TAC1::

SO_Lorenzo says:
Civ: Directly connected to their deflectors.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns to the XO:: XO: I know what your thinking Commander. I'll explain at the end of the shift over drinks.
