Host CO_Lenor says:
::nods to the CEO::

CEOMadiso says:
Computer:  Main Engineering

CSO_Sulek says:
I believe the Empress brings ships here to get more servants by having them ask for a favor resulting in 100 generations of servitude.

FCO_Knowl says:
CO: Permission to go to stellar cartography to study the best route for our return

CEOMadiso says:
::as the doors close, Madison clutches his chest in pain

CEOVnSckl says:

CEOVnSckl says:
Computer: Return control of engineering to Ens. Madison. Authorization VanSickle Gamma 245.

CSO_Sulek says:
CO:It is important that we do not ask for a favor from the Empress.

CMO_Valar says:
*CO* Valar to Captain.

CEOMadiso says:
Computer:  Deny transfer

Host CO_Lenor says:
*Valar* yes?

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: Problem?

Computer:  Continue Temporary command of Engineering with Ens VanSickle

Host CO_Lenor says:
CSO: understood..

CMO_Valar says:
*CO* Ensign Madison has left his stasis chamber and is returning to duty.

CO: They've closed the channel, sir.

Host CO_Lenor says:
*Valar* when you have time I would like to see the report of him.

CEOMadiso says:
Van:  I am not fit to fully resume my duties...I am here on a solely instructional and observational service...for now

Host CO_Lenor says:
TO: what?

Host CO_Lenor says:
::fumes::

XO_Mav says:
CO: You look a little sick again, sir...

CMO_Valar says:
*CO* He said something about checking the engines in engineering.  I gave him an injection and he left.

XO_Mav says:
CO: You haven't eaten any more Grits, have you?

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: Well, Chief, regulations state when the head of a department returns to duty, control must transfer to that cheif.

Host CO_Lenor says:
*Valar* acknowledged

Host EmpMedici says:
@::puts her foot into Claudio's lap, directing him to try out that pale coral polish on her toenails::

Host CO_Lenor says:

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: If you insist.

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: Would you like a briefing on our mission so far?

CEOMadiso says:
Van: Please

Host CO_Lenor says:
@<Claudio>  ::looks at the Empress' foot... wishes he could cut it off... but starts putting the polish on her toenails::

CEOMadiso says:
Van: I am here to observe and suggest as necessary

CMO_Valar says:
::gets back to her sample analysis::

Host EmpMedici says:
@::wonders if the Quirinus will ever get around to being properly subservient, and sits back, waiting::

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: We were in the Elpmis sector on a deep space exploration mission.

CEOMadiso says:
::nods::

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: I was with the XO and Enss. Rightmire and Sulek on an away team to one of the planets in this sector...

Host CO_Lenor says:
CSO: so... what is your opinion.... do you think we can find out what the 'key' is?

FCO_Knowl says:
::Entering the Lab, powering up viewscreen to view this sector::

CMO_Valar says:
::concerned that Madison was not telling her the truth about his coniditon::

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: We discovered the races that had lived on that planet had died out for one reason or another.

Host CO_Lenor says:
::looks at the TO::  hail the Empress' ship again...

Host EmpMedici says:
@::hears the hailing attempts, and motions Claudio to make them wait::

CMO_Valar says:
::starts to get bad feeling regarding Madison's condition::

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: It seemed the Hialarians, one of the races, caused the extinction of the other race, the Ollaosians.

CEOMadiso says:
::nods...trying to ignore the sudden pain as his insides get rearranged::

Host CO_Lenor says:
@<Claudio>::doesn't stop painting the Empress's toes::

ENGVnSckl says:
Madison: You look like you have a little discomfort.

CEOMadiso says:
Van:  No, I am fine...continue, Ensign

CMO_Valar says:
::Thinks she'd better go to main engineering and check on him::

Host CO_Lenor says:
TO: continue hailing the Empress until they answer..

Host Kris says:
ACTION: TENSIONS RISE AS THE COMMUNICATIONS STALEMATE CONTINUES.

CMO_Valar says:
CEO: You do not look well to me.

Host EmpMedici says:
@::shakes head slightly as she studies the captain::  Your crew doesn't seem particularly efficient, if you don't mind my observation.  You should really train them better............ but I overstep my bounds...........  Now, where had we left off our discussion?

Host EmpMedici says:
@Captain:  Ah, yes, forgive me.  I have not been well of late.

Host CO_Lenor says:
Empress: I understand... is there anything we can do to help?

CSO_Sulek says:

CMO_Valar says:
EO: It should cease now.

XO_Mav says:
CO: I just expected that she'd tractor us and make us all be servants... I guess that's kind of paranoid, though.

Host CO_Lenor says:
XO: I am not sure what she is up too... but I don't think she is just going to let us leave..

CSO_Sulek says:
CO:  If we could discover the nature of the key, perhaps we could replicate it.

CMO_Valar says:
::taps com badge::  Transporter room: Two to beam directly to sickbay.

ENGVnSckl says:
*Transporter* Resume transport of Enss. Mitchell and Madison to Sickbay.

ENGVnSckl says:
<Transporter room> *Engineering* We can't get a lock on Madison.

Host CO_Lenor says:
::looks at the CSO:: do you think you can do that?

CSO_Sulek says:
XO:Claudio tells me that the Empress has 120 ships at her disposal.

XO_Mav says:
CO: Actually it can't pursue. It has no engines. Remember?

ENGVnSckl says:
Valar: Check his vitals!

CMO_Valar says:
EO: Ok, we have to get him to sickbay.  Let's pick him up and carry him

XO_Mav says:
