<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::On the bridge looking over reports::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::In a black & gray striped civvie outfit, complete with comm. badge ... arrives on the bridge, greeting the crew one by one:: G'day, g'day, g'day g'day.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::sitting in her office, staring off into space::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Looks at Raythan:: CNS: Councilor...nice attire

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: walks onto the bridge replacing another ensign at the Chief Tactical Console in the back of the bridge ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Had heard about the Inspector's rapid departure for parts unknown ... suspected that the Captain might have some sort of idea, but he isn't available. Chances are the XO doesn't know:: XO: Thank you, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::standing on the bridge, watching the officers come and go::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks at the couch, grins, blushes and grins some more before focusing on the padd in front of her once more::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: taps the console looking over some tactical information on the storm, noticing how much navigational data will be compromised upon entering it ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CTO: Check the ETA will you ensign.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CEO: Take the helm of this one. I'll need someone experienced for the storm.

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: Yes, sir.  :: punches up buttons ::  40 minutes until the Storm's edge, Sir.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Clasps hands behind his back, and walks around & takes the XO's chair since he is currently occupying the CO's chair::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: At current speed, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CTO: Keep me apprised. I want to know as far in advance as possible of anything wrong. CEO: Be sure to reduce speed as appropriate

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::her eyes drift to the couch again, mind wandering::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::wonders if the Commander is familiar with his lack of piloting experience:: XO: Ah, aye sir.

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
CTO: Aye, sir.  Sensors will be limited, sir, I'll try to work with the CEO about increasing their range, however.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::moves down, and takes the station::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::stands up abruptly and leaves her office, suddenly waay too warm in there::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Notices a bit of tension in Everitt:: Everitt: You are up to this... I was assuming with your mechanical skills you're a pilot also?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Light smile at Lahn, then looks at Pangborn, then back at the CEO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
XO: I took the same basic piloting courses as most engineers here.  My experience in engineering provides a slight insight into.. this.  ::pauses:: Assuming nothing goes horribly wrong, I don't believe there will be any problem.

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: Sir, according to tactical information, we'll lose phasers once inside the storm, however torpedoes will work sufficiently.  :: looks back down to his console ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Thinks that they might be better off with someone more ... adept at flying, but remains quiet::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Nods:: CEO: Well Mr. Everitt, here's an opportunity for you to hone your skills. CTO: Understood. Scan the area of the storm and see if you can find anything sticking out of the soup pot so to speak. ::Smiles::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: follows through with the order and initiates a long range scan ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::looks at Raythan, returning the same light smile::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::exits sickbay, rubbing the back of her neck to relieve the tension.  Single parenting thing really was for the birds::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Looks at the councilor:: Raythan: Any observations you'd care to share? :: Casual::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: On what, exactly, sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::runs a few simulations, allowing him to feel more confident with the controls::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Raythan: Let me try again. Penny for your thoughts?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::heads up the corridor and enters the TL:: TL: Bridge

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: Hoping that Cmdr. Everitt has had experience with ion storm flight conditions in the past ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::smiles, but keeps his back to the two officers::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Raythan: I guess we'll find out. ::Coolly:: Everitt: You are confident you can do this?:: serious:: Raythan: If there's something your not telling me....

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::steps off the TL quietly and hangs out near the back, just watching::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: looks up from his console when the turbolift doors and smiles at the Doctor who walks out of the doors - then returns his gaze to a sensor panel behind him ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Quirks eyebrow at the XO:: XO: About the Chief's piloting experience, sir?

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Slightly irritated:: Raythan: Yes, to the point please

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Not sure why the Commander is growing irritated:: XO: I'm sure that the Commander is quite efficient in piloting, to my knowledge, I have not witnessed it before, sir. I was only wondering if he had driven under ion storm conditions in the past ...

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::smiles briefly at the new guy and then heads to her station, wiping the dust off since she never uses the thing::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::liked it better when Thelsh just made up her mind, and didn't ask:: XO: Yes, sir, I have been trained for this, just not experienced.  However, after all the research and preparation for the ion storm in engineering, I know what to expect.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Confident:: CEO: Good. Then I'm sure you'll do fine CNS: I think he's up to a little heavy weather.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: Hopefully, sir.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::wonders why the medical/environmental station is always at the back? Shrugs and just kind of hangs out::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::turns to the Raythan, smiling again:: CNS: I believe you're correct Counselor, you haven't witnessed me pilot the Q.

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: notices the CMO pushing off a little dust from the console and sits down at the Med/Env console - turns his attention back to the viewscreen just waiting ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Wonders about non humans::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CEO: First time for everything, Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CTO: Bring the storm up on visual please

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::hears the CNS/XO conversation and just shakes her head, laughing silently::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::keeps tabs on the ion storms eta::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: taps the console and the edge of the ion storm shows up on the screen :: XO: On screen, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Surveys the storm::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Energized particles show up in a massive 'streaking cloud' of blues, purples, and hot whites.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::swings her feet since she can't touch the ground from the chair and wonders who let the CEO drive.  Why do they never let her drive?::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
ETA: 17 minutes until Storm Edge, sir.  However, current speed will only be available for 10 more minutes.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CTO: Bring us to yellow alert...strictly a precaution. CEO: Slow us down Mr. Everitt. Warp One

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: Aye, sir.  :: taps the console :: Yellow alert.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
:: Notices Morgan:: CMO: The good doctor:: Smiles:: Do me a favor and maintain a communications beacon with the Cloud Sailor, I want to know how they fare through this

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
XO: Aye, sir, slowing to warp 1.  ::taps the commands, making sure to appear confident::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Cloud Sailor Follows the Quirinus' lead and forms up directly behind so the Quirinus can lead.

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: notices the CEO appear quite confident and feels eased about the CEO driving now ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
XO: You're the boss... sir. ::tacks on the sir at the end since he doesn't know her very well yet::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::wonders who told this guy she was a good doctor? shrugs and does the communications thing::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: Sir, the Cloud Sailor has formed up behind us and following at the same speed as we are.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CTO: Lets do our best to keep them tucked in for the ride.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Watches the storm approach on the viewscreen::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: Will try, sir.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::rubs at her eyes while working.  A good night's sleep would be nice::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Mister Hebert, are there any reports available on ships within our area or ahead on our expected course?

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CEO: Once onto the storm, keep us at warp one.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CMO: Are we successfully maintaining communications?

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
CEO: Already scanned, nothing on any sensors, sir.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::kicks her feet, absently::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
XO: Yup.   I mean.. er.. yes sir

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: I was referring to reports from other ships patrolling the area.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship jolts a little as its engulfed by the Storm.  Energy wakes play across the shields in brilliant colors.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Holds onto the chair::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: Sir, we have entered the storm, shields are holding. 99%.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::thinks: that looks cool.::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
CEO: Nothing, sir, at all.  This storm has been totally voided by all vessels.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::falls out of her seat and then quickly gets up and sits back down, blushing::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CMO: How's the Cloud Sailor faring?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Thank you, ensign.  I only wish the Cloud Sailor was as wise.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
XO: Ah.. ::embarrassed squeak, clears throat and starts again::  Cloud Sailor is doing alright still.

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
CEO: I will agree with you there, sir.  However, it takes rough trips to sometimes wake up sleeping Captains.  :: noticing the Captain not on the bridge ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Stifles a chuckle:: CMO: Very well. CEO: Status

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::ever helpful:: XO: It's Hawaii night apparently.  Aloha?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Thinks - "Hawaii? Hmmm ... new idea for clothing for tomorrow ..."::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
XO: Holding comfortably at warp one.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CMO: Aloha, Doctor?

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CMO: Aloha it is. Care for a  hmmm....Mai Tai? Or is that Asian.....::pretends to be lost in thought:: CEO: Maintain heading

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::shrugs:: CEO: I have no idea.  There are some very odd individuals on that ship.  That's what they just said to me!

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Polynesian?::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
CMO: Aloha.  :: chuckles remembering his honey moon - in the old traditional way ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
XO: Mai Tai, sir?  I don't know where it's from but I know it's a drink and I say I'm IN! ::grins thinking this could be a very cool XO::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: catches himself daydreaming about his wife and looks back at the shield display ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Care to fill us in?

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
CEO: Sir? :: looks startled ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::laughs at the new guy:: CEO: me thinks he has a secret to share...

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Watches them all discuss Hawaii & related topics ... finds himself wondering about the storm, and of course, about Lisa ... part of him wishes for this to be resolved so he can think of something else for once::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::chuckles:: CTO: It appeared you knew something about this "Aloha", nothing more ensign.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
ALL: Then Mai Tai's all around...After the shift.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::groans:: XO: I KNEW you sounded too cool to be real.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Laughs:: CMO: All in a days work

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Chuckles at the CMO's comment::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
CEO: :: chuckles ::  Yes, sir.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::swings her legs some more:: CEO: Hey mechanical genius type... when we're done you wanna get someone to adjust this chair?  I STILL can't touch the floor. ::sulking::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
XO: Sir, our shields down to 99%, and the Cloud Sailor appears to be faring the storm well, sir.  Should make for an interesting feeling with the boat rocking their luau.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CTO: Aww come on.  Could be fun.  When the ship's a rockin'... ::shakes her head:: Nevermind.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CTO: As long as it's rocking in a synchronized manor, we'll leave them alone ::Huge grin::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::waits for Hebert's response, but decides he isn't getting an answer::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: stifles a laugh and nods to the CMO and the XO ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::turns his attention back to his station::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: saw the CEO staring at him trying to find out about this Hawaiian event ::  CEO: Well sir, it involved my family.  Just an interesting week, let's put it that way.  :: smiles with a gleam in his eye ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::pretends not to hear the Doctor::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CEO: How long till we clear the storm?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::sticks out her tongue at Everitt and loudly starts creating the schedule for physicals:: Loudly: So.. Everitt needs his physical first.  Better make sure to use the extra special gloves...

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: takes another note of the sensors ::  XO: Sir, scans are still clean within the radius of our sensors.  Actually, the only item of interest is that in very small pockets, increased storm intensity is noticed.  I am capturing as much data as I can for the Science Staff.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CEO: Plot us a course that will take us away from the pockets, but not so far that we can't get somewhat accurate sensor readings.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::keeping faced forward, his back to the Doctor:: CMO: I'm glad to hear I'm worth something extra special.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
:;winces:: All: And may I point out that who ever is in charge of communications over there sings badly?  Very very badly?!

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CEO: Awww you're always worth a little bit of special effort.  ::grins while saying that, still workin'::

CTO_Ens_Hebert says:
:: thinks the CMO should put it on speakers but holds his tongue ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Relay the telemetry on the denser pockets to my station when you're finished.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Laughs:: CMO: You can attenuate the frequency as needed. Just make sure the continue to transmit:

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: An Ion Strike hits the forward shields, causing a flash to fill the bridge for a second.
