::Sitting her chair on the bridge, oberving the crew list on her PADD::

Host Captain_Turner says:

AS THE CEO TURNS TO GO TO MAIN ENGINEERING ON THE ARGONAUT, THE SHIP SHUTTERS A BIT AND A PIECE OF DEBRIS FALLS ON HIS HEAD KNOCKING HIM OUT

XO_Gleisen says:
::opens up a comm link with the starbase and is promptly put on hold, waiting to talk with the admiral::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@ ::continues to work on the AI::

CIV_Walker says:
::On the bridge with Lorenzo, getting very bored of looking at this AI stuff... ::

Host CO_Dako says:
@COMM: QIb: CO, I am afraid a piece of debris has fallen on your Engineer over here, he is knocked out near as I can tell

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM:SO: Yamamoto to Lorenzo

Admiral Sufi says:
%COMM: QIb: Gliesen, what can I do for you ?

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM:Argo:CSO: Here Chief.

Host Captain_Turner says:
COMM:Argo: Sounds serious Captain. Please have him beamed to the QIb sickbay right away.

XO_Gleisen says:
::the admiral's face appears on his console:: COMM: Admiral: Admiral, this is commander Anthony Gleisen of the IKS QIb. We request backup, to assist with bringing the Argo back to base. It can not go under it's own power, and the QIb isn't equipped to tow it effectively.

Admiral Sufi says:
%COMM: QIb: Gleisen, what of the otehr ships with you? and can she be safely towed?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM:SO: Check all subspace transmissions to the Argo just before and during the Romulan assault

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

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Adm: She can, sir, but the QIb is not equipped to do it, nor are any of the other's with us.

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM:CSO: Aye Sir.

Host CO_Dako says:
@COMM:QIb: CO: Understood , Captain.  Having him beamed to your sickbay

SO_Lorenzo says:
::Begins to access the recorded transmissions going to the Argo just before the Romulan attack::

CNS_Irane says:
::Turns to look at the Captain:: CO: Yes, sir?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM:XO: Yamamoto to Commander Gleisen

Admiral Sufi says:
%COMM: QIb: Gleisen, understood, we will try to get some deep space tugs out to your location, soonest

Admiral Sufi says:
%COMM: QIb: Gleisen, I am afraid from looking at the disposition it will be some days before one can get there though

CIV_Walker says:
::Yawns, while looking over flashy, shiney screens:: SO: Whoever deisigned this thing had entirely too much time on his hands...

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: I wish I was over there.  A hands on look at her would help.

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Adm: Thank you admiral. QIb out. ::closes the comm and then opens a new one to Yamamoto:: COMM: CSO: Go ahead lietuenant.

Host CO_Dako says:
@COMM: QIb: Captain, uhm, is there a reason that we can not power up my core, sir ?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM:XO: Sir, can you spare the counselor for a bit?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Waits for Irane's comm::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Then sees Irane behind him::

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CSO: I'll look into it, stand by. ::puts the comm to stand by and walks down to the Captain, beside Irane, waiting::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM:XO: I could also use Lt. Lorenzo's assistance here as well

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Hand on sounds fun, more fun than this...

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Lorenzo:: SO: You hear that lieutenant?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: XO: Thank you sir, Yamamoto out.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CNS: I'd like you to check on Lt. Commander Q'tor when you get a chance.

CNS_Irane says:
Captain: I heared he was hart, I'm not a doctor ::Looks confused::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Aye Sir.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::sits, checking the perimeters on his console::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::grins over at Walker:: CIV: Wishes do come true.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Status report Commander?

CIV_Walker says:
::looks at Lorenzo, not amused:: SO: Yeah... for you... ::Trails off::

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM:CSO: Would it be alright to bring Walker along Sir?

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Starfleet is sending some deep space tugs to help with bringing the Argo back to base, but they are still several days away. Lieutenant Lorenzo is preparing to beam over to the Argo, at the request of Lieutenant Yamamoto, and the Argo is still running on zero power.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM:SO: No ::just about chokes::  The Captain may need him.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::Looks at Walker:: CIV: Sorry, I tried.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Sighs:: XO: Any luck with a solution to getting the towing operation under way ourselves?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::walks over to the turbolift and nods at the XO::

CIV_Walker says:
::grumbles quietly::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: We have the same problem's we've had before. It would take an extremely long time because of the Argo's lack of SIF.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::takes the lift to the sci labs to get a couple kits then heads over to transporter room 1::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: If we could only get past that SIF problem. ::Leans his head on his palm::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: If we give it the power it needs though, the AI kicks in and does whatever it wants, which doesn't seem to anything good lately.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: What if we disabled the AI?

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: We tried that last time, somehow it came back to life.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: We could let the ship operate only off secondary computers.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::beams over to the Argo::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: I mean physically remove it.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: ::pauses a second:: I don't think they ever tried that.

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CSO: Gleisen to Yamamoto.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: We could either replace it or simply remove it and bypass that junction.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: XO: Yamamoto here.

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CSO: Lieutenant, is it possible to completely remove the AI unit? Unplug it and then put it in the cargo bay, or somewhere like that?

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Look into it Commander. See what Lt. Yamamoto has to say.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Aye sir.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::looks around at all the damage and makes her way to the CSO::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: XO: The AI has a layer of failsafe defense.  It communicates to the Argo using subspace connections.  We would have to eliminate the subspac...

Host CO_Dako says:
@::taps the CSO on the shoulder::

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CSO: What if we put up a dampening field around the unit to jam all signals around it?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Capt_Dako: Ah, Capt.  Does the AI have a maintainence mode?

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CSO: ...continue.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::leaves the comm channel open::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks out at the Argo from the main viewer::  Self:  Artificial Ingtelligence.  Intelligence, my foot.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: In addition there is a failsafe built into the deck, if you are going to beam it, can I have time to say my final prayers ?

XO_Gleisen says:
::waits a moment, then turns to Turner:: CO: I think I'm on hold again.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::starts to look around the computer system, kneels down to look under and around her::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: What about beaming the entire deck plating?

XO_Gleisen says:
::walks down to Ranahi:: FCO: If we get the Argo under our control, I trust you can fly her back?

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: You would have to beam half the ship, I am afraid

Host CO_Dako says:
@::knows he just exaggerated a bit ::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Then we may have no other choice but to scuttle your ship ::bluffing::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Understood Commander.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks at Gleisen and sighs::  XO: Hard to say, sir.  There's no telling what that Artificial ship has up her sleeves

CIV_Walker says:
::Pushes his chair over to engineering, hoping no-one notices his riding it accross the bridge Port to Starboard, Slumps over the engineering console::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Not at all, , if we take the jumpers off of it, so that is gets no power... and also I can put it in sleep mode

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Well, be ready for it. If we get it under our control, you'll be flying her home.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: ::puzzled:: Just a moment ago you were adamant to get the AI back online.  Why the sudden change of heart?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::turns to Gleisen, fully::  XO: Me?

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: I have no wish to see both ships destroyed

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: You are the best pilot we have.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::both ships?::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::cocks his head::  XO: Me?  ::almost smiles, incredulously::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: The AI also seems to be functioning normally, and I would have given her the chance to fly this  ship home

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Under the circumstances, I would suggest against that until the root causes of the failures are discovered and verified.

XO_Gleisen says:
::still waiting for Yamamoto, he starts to get a bit impatient::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Understood, just thought with the ship in the "wonderful" shape it is in,  if she works as she should, it might be the best way to get her home

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::sticks her head deeper into the belly of the AI unit and spies an odd sphere::

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Why are you so suprized by Commander Gleisens comment?

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Dako: Sir, if I may interject, that's what we planned on originally, but as soon as we powered it up, she went to destroy herself. We aren't going to take that chance again.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako:  Then with your permission I will disconnect the power feed and we can fire up the core.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CO Dako: Captain, What is this sphere here, has warnings of extreme danger on it.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: No particular reason, Captain.  It's just nice to be noticed once in a short while  ::grins and turns back to his console::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::turns to look:: SO: What do you have Lt.?

Host CO_Dako says:
@COMM: XO: I Overrode that command, sir and she had grabbed the details sortly after re-activation and was ready to resume her job

Host CO_Dako says:
@SO: It is a fail safe device against capture

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CSO: I don't know Sir.  ::looks up from her position down on her knees at CO Dako::

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: I see. ::Grins::

Host CO_Dako says:
@SO: It is a Quantum singularity

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Dako: I understand that, sir, but there are so many other commands she could use, all with devastating results. We've talked it over here, and don't want to give it a chance to do something like that again.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@ CO Dako: If captured the unit turns into a mini black hole?

Host CO_Dako says:
@XO: What if I put her in "Sleep mode" ?

Host CO_Dako says:
@SO: No , if catured it releases the black hole

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako, SO: ::A singularity?::  If you'll excuse me a moment.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: What would sleep mode do?

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: Dako: Can you absolutely guarantee it isn't going to come back online again?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::walks out of earshot of Dako::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Turn it off, basically.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: But still leaving it so it could come back online if it felt the need too.

Host CO_Dako says:
@COMM: XO: It is like putting a vehicle in Manual mode. it allows the ship to be driven and operated as a normal ship

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::really never likes to use her telepathy but is beginning to wonder about CO Dako, so she starts to probe his thoughts::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Similar to disconnecting it?

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Yes, but it would still be there, and could turn itself back on.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Sighs:: XO: Do you see any other options?

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: I have a bad feeling about this fail safe against being captured that it has...if we try towing it, or driving it, it could see us as trying to capture it. We are in a Klingon ship, after all.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM:XO: ::whispers:: Commander Gleisen, the AI uses a quantum singularity as a failsafe device.  Lt. Lorenzo and I did not recognize the design.  Romulan warp technology is singularity based.  Can you see my train of thought?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::grinning to himself, now he knows he could be useful in a few minutes::

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CSO: ::quietly as well:: You're not actually suggesting that a Starfleet captain would steal Romulan technology, are you? ::turns to Walker, motioning for him to check the database about Captain Dako::

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::wonders if CO Dako is obsessed with the thing::

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::gets up and walks over to her CSO, whispers::  CSO: Sir, the sphere has vulcan markings on it.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: I see what you're saying.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Wonders what the XO is whispering about.::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: XO: ::whispering:: No sir.  I think that the dear Captain may be a spy.  The singularity isn't to prevent capture, but to keep us from salvaging it.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Maybe I'm just being paranoid sir, but I'm not going to feel totally safe with this thing until it is completely disabled.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CSO: Dako has been ordered to test the unit and report back, bringing the unit back intact.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@SO:::whispers:: I think we may need an excuse to scan good Captain Dako

SO_Lorenzo says:
@ CSO: I sense nothing about preventing salvage of the unit.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CSO: Of course I've been known to be wrong when it comes to my... gifts.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: I know how you feel Commander but we might not have any other choice.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: ::nods:: So, are we going to try this, putting it into sleep mode and flying it back ourselves?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@SO:::whispers:: yes, but bring the unit back intact to whom?

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::raises an eyebrow::  CSO: An excuse?  ::smiles as she reaches into her sci kit::

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CSO: Its starbase Sir.  Where it was built.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::returns to where Dako is standing::

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::pulls out a small palm tricorder from her kit and walks over to CO Dako::

Host CO_Dako says:
@::nods at teh two as they walk back ::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Sir, where was the AI unit installed?

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: What does Lt. Yamamato have to say about all this?

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: At the Starbase near here by the Team from  the Vulcan Science Institute and Starfleet, they wait there now, for the results

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::walks over to assess a console behind Dako, quietly runs the tricorder behind him::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Mostly, he feels the same way I do. He also has a set of new concerns. ::sits down in his own chair, beside the Captain, then quietly:: He's found a piece of Romulan technology aboard, apparently to prevent the ship from being salvaged. He feels there is a chance Dako may also be working for the Romulans.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: What is the starbases designation?

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: 315

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::transfers the results to a PADD then approaches Akira::  CSO: Here are the results you wanted Sir.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Sir, why not simply have the team that installed it come here and remove it?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Whispers:: XO: Run him through the ships database and see what comes up on him.

CIV_Walker says:
::Gets up, with a sigh and leaves the bridge via the aft access doors::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Have you never worked around some of the chair bound scientist types? They would never go where there was real danger, and I mean of the ship breaking apart, not the machine

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Already done sir. He has a long and distinguished career, captain through the entire war, never lost a ship. Apparently he is being considered for a promotion to Admiral.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::gets back to analyzing the AI unit from the inside::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Oh, I can't see a group of Vulcan's fearing  anything, sir.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako:  Why don't I get their assistance over subspace?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: They could walk me through bypassing the failsafes.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: ::grins:: I meant the ones from Starfleet, they are the ones who installed it, the Vulcans are the ones who built it

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CO Dako: A piece of technology this advanced and its creators never created an off switch?

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: We'll have to go on that then. Place the AI into sleep mode and have our ship on full alert.

Host CO_Dako says:
@SO: It has a sleep mode, they considered any more to be redundant

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Keep tactical on standby and weapons and shields at full.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Aye sir. Suggest Ranahi and I beam over to pilot it back, evacuating everyone else.

Host CO_Dako says:
@SO: They never envisioned this as a possibility

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Oh and one more thing Commander...................

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO_Dako:  And why doesn't it have a cyclic diagnostic mode or a maintainence mode.  Surely they would have foreseen the possibility of battle damage.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: That is what sleep mode is for

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: .....................keep your fingers crossed. ::Grins::

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CO Dako: They obviously didn't plan very well for the unknown.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: But sleep mode suggest waking.  I would hate to have a system fire up while my hand was inside.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Good idea send Mr. Ranahi over.

Host CO_Dako says:
@SO: I am sure they must have had their reasons

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Aye sir. COMM: AT: This is Gleisen, all hands on the Argo prepare for beamout after setting the AI for sleep mode.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: It doesn't seem to follow standard Starfleet triple redundancy protocols.

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Ranahi, you're with me. ::heads for the TL::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Plewase send the XO my request that I be permitted to stay aboard

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::Has never met a scientist that would not participate in their creation's first voyage::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: It is as yet experimental

FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::gets up and follows Gleisen, requesting back-up while he does so::

XO_Gleisen says:
::in the TL, he orders the TR::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: And they would have been aboard , had starfleet permitted it ::sighs::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: XO: Sir, Captain Dako has requested to stay aboard his ship.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CSO: If the sleep mode is our only option.  Maybe we should try it.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako:  Who would have sir?

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CSO: Understood, tell him to meet us on the bridge.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Taps the comm:: *Shipwide*: All hands to your stations. Full alert status. Weapons and shields to full and all tactical personel on standby.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: The Vulcans, they had envisioned that they would have been allowede aboard for during the test, instead they were forced to give a few of us, most of whom are now dead, a briefing on the unit

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::gets an engineering tricorder from her kit and runs it inside the AI unit::

XO_Gleisen says:
::arrives in the TL and tells the chief to beam them to the coordinates of the AT::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Sir, Commander Gleisen has asked that you meet with him on the bridge.

Host Captain_Turner says:
*Shipwide*: Consider this yellow alert status with red alert protocols. Captains authorization.

FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: You think Dako should be allowed to remain on board?

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: I shall do so, let us take this jumper off though, first ::removes jumper to AI ::

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: We're going to need someone who knows how to shut the thing down if it decides to act up.

FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Aye, sir.

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Ready? ::ready to tell the TC to energize::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: You allowed them to install a potentially dangerous piece of equipment on your ship with only a briefing?

FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Ready, sir.

XO_Gleisen says:
Chief: Energize.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Orders

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::arrives on the Argo, just down the hall from the rest of the AT::

FCO_Ranahi says:
@::energises on the Argo::

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: If I may, I have to go to the bridge

FCO_Ranahi says:
@XO: Uh, sir?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ FCO: Yes?

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CIV*: Turner to Walker.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Of course sir. by all means.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::walking down the hall to Yamamoto and Lorenzo::

Host CO_Dako says:
@::Departs on his way up ::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CSO: Is the AI ready?

CIV_Walker says:
::slouches in the TL:: *CO* Yes, 'Captain'?

FCO_Ranahi says:
@XO: Dako wants this to work.  Looks like he's on our side.  He's passionate about this mission.  Even to the point of being tired of having to explain everything to everone.  He feels terrible that this happened in the first place.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::still kneeling down assessing the inner workings of the unit::

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CIV*: How are your flying skills Mr. Walker? ::Grins::

Host CO_Dako says:
@::Entrers the bridge in time to hear the XO's Question:: XO: It is disabled

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@XO: Sir, the AI is dangerous.  It has been unplugged, but I still don't trust it.

CIV_Walker says:
::yawns:: *CO* I have none.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ Dako: Excellent. CSO/SO: It's time for you guys to be heading back. The QIb is a bit understaffed.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CSO: I know exactly what you mean. Trust me, we'll be careful.

Host Captain_Turner says:
*CIV*: I'm running short of bridge personnel. What's your specialty?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@XO: Aye sir.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::looks over to her CSO::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@SO: Ready?

FCO_Ranahi says:
@::follows Gleisen::

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::really doesnt want to leave::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::turns to Ranahi as they prepare to beam out:: FCO: Take the helm lietuenant.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@CSO: Sir, are they planning to reactivate her?

FCO_Ranahi says:
@XO: Aye, sir....::walks over to the helm, and sits in it, familiarising himself wiht the console::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@SO: ::sigh:: I hope not Lt.  I hope not.  But... we have our orders.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::looks over at the rest of the away team, then nods at Akira::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@SO: Double check to see if the power has been disconnected.

CIV_Walker says:
::Sounding sarcastic and tired:: *CO* Violating security protocols... aparently.

SO_Lorenzo says:
@::checks the console before moving to leave::

After almost 2 weeks, both the Argonaut and QIb arrived back at Starbase 315 without incident.
Captain Dako was met by a team of Admirals, and he was promoted to Admiral.
The crew of the QIb has been granted 2 days shoreleave, to prepare for their next challenge.
