<<<<<<<Start Mission>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
::on bridge::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::At station going over tactical data::

CEO_AQilla says:
::in ME preparing for docking::

CMO_Xye says:
::in sickbay working on broken leg:: Engineer: I'm wondering why you crew get hurt so much in the Jeffries Tubing.

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Is all the damage incurred during our last mission repaired?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::At station going over tactical data::

XO_VanSickle says:
::walks over to tactical::

CMO_Xye says:
::points at hurt science officer:: Science: I'm curious why you cut off the safety protocols while fighting a Klingon.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: ETA to the Starbase?

FCO_Vince says:
::checking navigational sensors::

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Would it be possible to upgrade the security sensors?

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Mostly, Ma'am.  We will need to get some parts from the Starbase to complete repairs.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: I think so but it would take time

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: It seems someone who may have been an intelligence officer was able to circumvent our security measures.

CMO_Xye says:
::finally repairs broken leg after an hour of ohhhs and ahhhs:: Engineer: I see you too much in sickbay. I don't want to see you unless it is a physical.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: Would you like me to try it?

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Please.  I don't want any more "unexpected guests" drop in on us.

CMO_Xye says:
::taps commbadge:: Senior crew: All senior crew... please report to Sickbay to schedule your physical.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: Aye

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Starts working on upgrade::

FCO_Vince says:
*CMO* I was planning to as soon as I can leave the helm

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> ::finishes on broken arm of the science officer:: Science: Try to keep the safety protocols on next time.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CMO* I'll be right there, doctor.

CMO_Xye says:
*FCO*: Okay.

CMO_Xye says:
*XO*: I'll be here.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: If you'll excuse me?

CEO_AQilla says:
*CMO*:  I'm a little busy at the moment, Doctor.

FCO_Vince says:
::checking sensors for eta::

CMO_Xye says:
*CEO*: No rush. Come when you can.

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits bridge to TL:: Computer: Sickbay.

CEO_AQilla says:
::runs diagnostics on repaired systems::

CMO_Xye says:
::types on console:: Computer: Activate Emergency Medical Hologram.

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH> Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at the Sickbay deck::

CMO_Xye says:
EMH: No emergency. I'd like you to transfer your program to the holodeck. I told you about the Holo-Sickbay.

XO_VanSickle says:
::walks to Sickbay::

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters sickbay::  CMO: Hey doc.

CEO_AQilla says:
::finds repaired systems are working properly::

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH> CMO: Yes. I like the idea. It's about time someone respected my abilities. Welcome Commander Van Sickle.

CMO_Xye says:
XO: Welcome sir.

XO_VanSickle says:
EMH: Hello.

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO/EMH: So, who's the lucky person or hologram?

CMO_Xye says:
XO: That would be me.

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Point me in the proper direction.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, we've completed all the repairs we can until we get to the Starbase.

CMO_Xye says:
XO: You want it now... or would you like to set an appointment?

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Excellent.  We'll be there soon.

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: What's free on your schedule?

CMO_Xye says:
XO: I have the whole day free.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, if you're free I can come down now

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: How about 1600?

CMO_Xye says:
XO: Yes... that would work.

CMO_Xye says:
*CEO*: Come on down.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CMO*:  I'm on my way

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: OK.  ::turns to leave, but stops::

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: How is everything?

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves ME and enters turbo lift:: Computer:  Sickbay

CMO_Xye says:
XO: Things... are nice. I've been thinking of a new smaller project. I'll try to work with the Chief Engineer on the project. I have to speak to the captain about it. And how are you?

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: So so.  Just my little talk with you upset me a bit after looking over your file.

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: I just wanted you to know, my problem with you isn't personal, it's professional.

CMO_Xye says:
XO: The project will be an off duty one. It won't get in the way of my duties as Chief Medical Officer.

CMO_Xye says:
XO: I understand sir.

CEO_AQilla says:
::exits turbo lift and enters sickbay::

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: You're a good person.  Your heart is in the right place.  I just wish you'd use your skills in the right way.

XO_VanSickle says:
::sees the CEO enter::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Lieutenant, how's everything with the engines?

CMO_Xye says:
XO: I do try. CEO: Welcome Lieutenant.

XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: See you at 1600.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Fine, sir.  We will still have some repairs to do to the auxiliary systems when we reach the Starbase though

CMO_Xye says:
XO: Yes sir. See you then.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Understood.

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  Doctor.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO/CMO: Talk to you both later.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Sir

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Physical now?

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  I have time right now

CMO_Xye says:
::walks to biobed:: CEO: In that case... sit right here. I'll get the medical tricorder.

CEO_AQilla says:
::sits on biobed::

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits sickbay::

CMO_Xye says:
::walks and grabs medical tricorder:: CEO: So... how have you been feeling?

XO_VanSickle says:
::walks to TL::

CMO_Xye says:
::scans the CEO::

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  Great.  Been working pretty hard, though.

XO_VanSickle says:
Computer: Bridge.

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Yes. Working on those engines. How do you avoid sickbay?

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at bridge::

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  I'm careful.  Plus my Romulan physiology also helps

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits TL, enters bridge::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: Sir the upgrade is complete

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Yes... I looked at your medical record. Haven't been bruised. You're like a new born baby. ::looks at medical tricorder:: Congratulations. You're pregnant.

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Good.

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  WHAT!!!

CMO_Xye says:
::laughs:: CEO: Just kidding.

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Exploring humor. Sorry. You're perfectly healthy.

CEO_AQilla says:
::laughs as well::  CMO:  Please, don't do that!

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Approaching starbase 64, dropping out of warp

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  Romulans are not exactly noted for their humor, though

FCO_Vince says:
::reduces speed to impulse::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Arrange the docking with Starbase OPS.

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Yes. I've met some.

FCO_Vince says:
CO: Aye Captain

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: I'm... trying to get to know my crew better. How about... when you're not busy... we could have a drink in the lounge?

FCO_Vince says:
::reduces to 1/4 impulse::

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  I'd like that

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: You have any plans, ma'am?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Permission to go to the ship bar

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Granted.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I'm looking to hit the stores, maybe find something to send to Valar.

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Good to hear that. Everything is perfect. I'll see you when I see you. You're dismissed.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Nothing fixed.  Why?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Walks to TL::

CEO_AQilla says:
::gets off biobed::  CMO:  I'll see you later, then

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: But first, I should inspect the docking clamps.  No bridge crew should be there.

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Bye.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Other than myself.

FCO_Vince says:
::docking::

CEO_AQilla says:
::exits sickbay and enters turbo lift:: Computer:  Main Engineering

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Van Sickle to Smith, could you ask a couple engineers to come to the main docking clamp with me?

CMO_Xye says:
::looks at the EMH:: EMH: You were quiet. Why haven't you transferred to the holodeck?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Exits TL ,enters bar and sits down::

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits bridge:: Computer: Main docking clamps.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  I'll come myself, Sir.   We're on our way, Commander

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* No, lieutenant!

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Gets a drink::

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Sir?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* You stay in main engineering.

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH> CMO: I do not have the ability to transfer myself. I'm just a hologram. I'll require you to transfer me. I have no power over EMH functions.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at docking area::

Jisk says:
::A small Klingon BOP sits hovering in a docking port near the USS Scorpius.. not docked and all systems still powered up::

CMO_Xye says:
EMH: Well... I'll see what I can do about that.

FCO_Vince says:
::open hailing frequencies::

XO_VanSickle says:
::gets out and meets engineering team at airlock::

CEO_AQilla says:
::Sends two Eng to assist the Commander::

FCO_Vince says:
C

CEO_AQilla says:
::exits TL and enters ME::

XO_VanSickle says:
*FCO* Is the docking clamp secure for this section?

CMO_Xye says:
EMH: I have to talk to the captain. ::taps commbadge:: *CO*: Xye to T'Paula. Could I speak with you?

SB-64 says:
COM: Scorpius. we have you in our tractor beam...prepare for docking clamps to engage.

FCO_Vince says:
COM:  SB64:  Acknowledged

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Yes Sir

CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: You may.

XO_VanSickle says:
Engineers: Open the airlock.

FCO_Vince says:
::prepares for docking::

<<<<<<<<<<<Scorpius docks at  SB64>>>>>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: Thank you... I'll be up there in a few minutes.

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters the gang plank with the two engineers::

Jisk says:
@::A phaser blast strikes the docking clamps to the Scorpius just as a transporter beam grabs the XO from the docking ring.. leaving his combadge and all his technical equipment floating in the airless void with the EO's::

CMO_Xye says:
::taps on console:: EMH: I am allowing you to cut yourself off. That is all I'm changing. I'll be back. You have sickbay.

<<<<<Suddenly the small BOP FIRES on Scorpius....tearing her from the docking clamps.....SCREAMS from  the people in the docking area....then silence....Scorpius drifts away from the Starbase.....inertial dampeners go offline.....>>>>>>>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
::leaves sickbay, walks down the corridor, and enters turbo lift:: Computer: Deck One.

FCO_Vince says:
By Kahless!

CEO_AQilla says:
Computer: Damage Report

FCO_Vince says:
::attempting to power up impulse engines::

Jisk says:
::fires at the Scorpius in several key locations and punches it out from the station.. once cleared.. engages cloak and warp 4::

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Red alert, full shields.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Exits the bar and runs to the bridge::

<<<<Part of the docking clamp is still attached to Scorpius...part of Scorpius is still attached to SB-64  bodies are floating around the area...>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
::exits turbo lift and looks curious of what just happened::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Aye ::Raises shields and switches to red alert::

CEO_AQilla says:
::begins to repair inertial dampeners::

Jisk says:
@::warps off.. mission completes for parts unknown.. flying an erratic patterned for several light years before punching warp 7::

FCO_Vince says:
::frantically trying to get propulsion up::

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, inertial dampeners are off-line::

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Prioritize them.

CMO_Xye says:
CO: Mind if I take science?

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Go ahead.

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: See if you can tell me what just happened.

CMO_Xye says:
::walks to science station and begins to scan area::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::comes to, finds himself in restraints::

CMO_Xye says:
CO: Well... we are floating away from Starbase 64. Dead bodies are now out in space.

Jisk says:
@::paces around the XO:: XO: hi lover!

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: How'd you get here?

CEO_AQilla says:
Engineers:  See if you can get the inertial dampeners back on line.

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: And how'd you acquire the BoP?

Jisk says:
@::sits down:: XO: well that depends where here is now don't it

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: By here meaning Starbase 64.

Jisk says:
@XO: lover.. your not on SB 64.. welcome to my ship

CEO_AQilla says:
CO*:  Captain, we're detecting bodies floating around the ship.  Shall I beam them aboard?

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: But how'd you get to Starbase 64 and how'd you acquire this BoP?

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Directly to the morgue.

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: But repair the vital systems first.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.  ::locks on to the bodies and beams them to the morgue::

Jisk says:
@::taps in a few commands sending the ship on a parallel course and off toward a distant star system:: XO: your not happy to see me?

FCO_Vince says:
::verifying ship's position so we don't drift into anything::

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: I thought we left you and your sister at Zi Aquari.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: See if you can locate that ship, or its trail.

Jisk says:
@::runs her finger around the XO's face with a grin:: XO: well you did.. but it's amazing what you can buy from desperate people isn't it

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Where is Tisk anyway?

CMO_Xye says:
CO: I'm sure Nurse Veridia can handle a few bodies. I know I have.

FCO_Vince says:
::attempts to activate thrusters to steady the ship::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Yes ma'am ::starts scanning::

Jisk says:
@:: grins:: XO: she occupied

XO_VanSickle says:
@::doesn't like the sound of that;:

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, propulsion is on-line, but part of the ship is still attached to the Starbase.  I wouldn't recommend going to warp at the moment.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Activating thrusters to hold position until the dampening field and engines are online

CMO_Xye says:
::begins a long range scan::

Jisk says:
@::moves the XO over to a nicer chair and activates a force field::

FCO_Vince says:
::thinking "Duh!"::

CMO_Xye says:
CO: You think we could try to trace Commander Van Sickle’s commbadge?

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: This is such an elaborate plan for a crush?

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: That's a good point.  How badly damaged is the hull?

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Scan for the commander's sub dermal transponder.

FCO_Vince says:
::holds position and checks range from SB64::

Jisk says:
@::alters course again:: XO: a crush? you think I did all this for that? Oh, your silly

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Aye

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Then why did you do this?

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Damage is severe around the docking port.  Otherwise the hull is in tact.

CMO_Xye says:
::continues work at science station::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Scans for the commander's sub dermal transponder::

Jisk says:
@::plops down in the command chair and looks at him with a grin:: XO: You know the romulans have always paid a nice amount for SF officers.. ::grins and runs her fingers over her lips eyeing him::

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  I have crews working on the docking port at the moment.

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: So this is for both sex AND money?

XO_VanSickle says:
@::is worried now::

Jisk says:
@XO: is there anything else in life?

CMO_Xye says:
CEO: Can you estimate when repairs will be done?

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Besides, the Romulans have been allies with us since the war.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CMO*:  It's going to take some time.

Jisk says:
@XO: I didn't say I was taking you there lover..

Jisk says:
@XO: I just say they pay well

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Then where are you taking me?  AND STOP CALLING ME LOVER!

Jisk says:
@::turns and looks at him.. with a grin:: XO: you know.. there’s a humanoid race on the edge of the galaxy that pays top dollar for new genetic materials.. they reproduce by cloning.. 

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: So there will be millions of me???

Jisk says:
@XO: outlawed the old way as they call it.. pity.. 

XO_VanSickle says:
@::passes out::

<<<<<< 2 hours later....temporary repairs have been made and Scorpius is ready to pursue>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
CO: I'm attempting to estimate how far away Jisk and Van Sickle will be by the time the docking system is repaired. I'm sure the ship Jisk has isn't fast enough to out run our ship. At maybe warp 9.

Jisk says:
@XO: oh yes.. and then I get you back.. and.. ::looks at him.. and grins:: hmmm

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, we've completed temporary repairs to the docking system.  It should hold for now.

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Any luck?

XO_VanSickle says:
@::still out::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: No

Jisk says:
@::is sitting on the XO's lap.. yes he is still dressed and patting him on the face and yes.. still tied up::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::starts to stir::

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Do we have any idea which direction they went?

Jisk says:
@::grins and kisses the XO:: XO: rise and shine lover..

XO_VanSickle says:
@::sees Jisk::  ::aloud:: Oh, great!  I'm not dreaming!

Jisk says:
@XO: while you were out I .. ::eyes him:: helped my self to the merchandise.. ::grins::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: No

CMO_Xye says:
::continues to look at sensor reading trying to make something from them::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::to self:: I'm definitely not dreaming.. I'M HAVING A FRIGGIN NIGHTMARE!

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, repairs are complete.  Do you need me on the bridge?

Jisk says:
@XO: oh my poor love! here.. ::grabs a hypo:: this will make it all better ::grins::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::squirms away::

CMO_Xye says:
::eyes pop open:: CO: They went 230 mark 34. All I needed to do was look for the ion trail.

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Yes, we could use some help tracking that ship.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: I found them, they went 230 mark 34

Jisk says:
@::grabs the Xo by the collar:: XO: now now.. ::grins::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  The engines are ready and standing by

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  I'm on my way.  ::exits ME and enters TL::  Computer:  Bridge

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Lay in a course.  Warp 8.  Engage.

XO_VanSickle says:
@::works hands out of the binds::

CEO_AQilla says:
::arrives at bridge, exits TL and enters bridge::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::grabs hypo out of Jisk's hand::

FCO_Vince says:
::Plots course 230 mark 34 and engages at warp 8::

Jisk says:
@ XO: hey! ::pulls a phaser:: I don't want to hurt you!

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  Was that a warship or scout BOP?

CEO_AQilla says:
::goes to ME station and begins to track the BOP::

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Why are you going through all of this?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
FCO: It was a BOP

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Watch your sensors for any sign of a possible ship.

CMO_Xye says:
::raises eyebrow::

Jisk says:
@::steps a few paces back and eyes him:: XO: because..

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Acknowledged.

CMO_Xye says:
Self: Am I invisible?

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Not a good enough answer.

CEO_AQilla says:
::begins sensor sweeps of the area::
