<<<<<<<<<Continue Mission>>>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
::at the ops station::

 CO_TPaula says:
CEO: What's our status?

CEO_AQilla says:
::runs diagnostics on restored systems::

TO-Thompson says:
::walks to nearest weapon replicator::

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

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  We should have all systems back on line in a few minutes

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain, should we invite "Mr. Boothby" aboard?

 Boothby says:
<<Comes around>> COMM: Scorpius: Permission to come aboard?

 CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Good to hear.

 CO_TPaula says:
XO: I don't see the harm in it.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Funny thing is, he just requested it.

XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Boothby: Permission granted.  I'll meet you in TR1.

CEO_AQilla says:
::looks at results of diagnostics:: CO:  Captain, we have full power

 CO_TPaula says:
XO: I'll come with you.  CEO: You have the bridge.  Call me if anything comes up.

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Lieutenant, accompany me to the transporter room.

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Aye, Ma'am

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: Aye

 Boothby says:
@COMM: Scorpius: I'm not transporting… I need to dock

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows the XO::

TO-Thompson says:
::takes up Tac::

XO_VanSickle says:
::stops::  COMM: Boothby: Then head to shuttle bay 1.

CEO_AQilla says:
::moves to center seat and sits down::

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: why are they all going?

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  To meet our guest.

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Shuttle Bay 1.

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: they whole bridge crew yikes.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows XO in to TL::

 Boothby says:
<<<<<<<<<The Pod lands in SB 1>>>>>>>>>

TO-Thompson says:
 *CO* : Permission to convert probes to bombs.

CEO_AQilla says:
TO: Standard procedure on a first contact.

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops near SB1::

 CO_TPaula says:
*TO*: Ask Lt. Smith.

FCO_Vince says:
::in TL::

TO-Thompson says:
*CTO* Sir permission to change probes to bombs.

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits TL and walks to SB1::

FCO_Vince says:
TL:  Sick Bay

 Boothby says:
<<< pod vibrates.. then a "hatch" appears......>>>

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows XO::

XO_VanSickle says:
::leads welcoming party into SB1::

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: permission to change probes to bombs

XO_VanSickle says:
::sees the pod's hatch open::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
*TO*: hmm, are you sure that is logical? we might need the probes later on, but permission granted

FCO_Vince says:
::Realizing the Doctor is not available, heads back to the bridge::

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  Granted.

XO_VanSickle says:
::waits for "Boothby" to step out::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Gets phaser rifle ready just in case::

TO-Thompson says:
::starts the slow process of changing the probes over::

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Stand down!

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  I want you to keep a sharp look out.  We don't want any surprises.

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: He's our guest.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: Aye

 Boothby says:
<<<<Boothby appears...first as 8472 in the pod, but changes as he exits the pod....dramatically>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Welcome aboard the USS Scorpius.

 CO_TPaula says:
::finds it fascinating::

TO-Thompson says:
::keeps a look on the sensors::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Was that your true form just a moment ago?

FCO_Vince says:
::exits TL onto bridge and takes the helm::

 Boothby says:
XO: I am still in my true form...I just chose for you to see me this way....

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Oh?  So this is some sort of mental image?

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  Keep the engines on stand-by.  We need to be able to get out of here in a hurry if we have to.

FCO_Vince says:
CEO:  Understood

 Boothby says:
XO: So, where would you go here....this is different than Voyager.......::walks towards the hatch...::

 CO_TPaula says:
::looks at the XO, who has gotten sidetracked::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: A moment, sir.  May I introduce my commanding officer, Capt. T'Paula.

 Boothby says:
XO: yes...mental image....don't worry about it...::starts to walk down a corridor::

FCO_Vince says:
::Performs routine system check on the helm::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: And Lt. jg. Vajeeta Sorauk, chief tactical officer.

TO-Thompson says:
::done changing probes to bombs::

 Boothby says:
::stops:: XO: Oh you are not the Captain...hmm.. are all Starfleet Captains...women???

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: No, sir.  Maybe about half are women.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Nods at Boothby::

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: No.  We don't have many gender-specific occupations anymore.

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Would you like to go to the bridge first, or take the full tour before then?

TO-Thompson says:
::walks to the weapon replicator::

 Boothby says:
::nods:: CO: Lets talk.... I have to be going back soon.

TO-Thompson says:
::starts to replicate 3 million fakes::

FCO_Vince says:
::checks nav sensors and verifies ship position::

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: Very well.  Let us talk in the observation lounge.

XO_VanSickle says:
::leads the group to the nearest TL::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows XO and CO::

 Boothby says:
CO: Very well CO...::follows the CO and XO::

TO-Thompson says:
::changes to 1 million::

XO_VanSickle says:
::holds door for CO, CTO and Boothby::

XO_VanSickle says:
Computer: Bridge.

 CO_TPaula says:
::gives the TL its instructions::

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at bridge, party files out and heads to Obs Lounge::

FCO_Vince says:
::logs a few warp coordinates and maneuver patterns on standby::

TO-Thompson says:
::follows the parade::

XO_VanSickle says:
TO: Uh, remain at your post, ensign.

TO-Thompson says:
::walks back::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follow CO, XO and Boothby to Obs Lounge::

XO_VanSickle says:
::opens Obs Lounge door for CO and Boothby::

FCO_Vince says:
::hopes residual ringing in his ears isn't permanent::

XO_VanSickle says:
::after CTO enters, lets door close::

TO-Thompson says:
*CO* Permission to test a fake

 CO_TPaula says:
*TO*: Worth with Lt. Smith on this project.

 Boothby says:
::looks around....::CO: it amazes me that you seem to chose not to be able to see out of your ship at all angles all of the time...

CSO_Shiar says:
::sits at station checking sensors::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Is that how you see?

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: We don't have the resources or technology to make everything transparent.

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: permission to go the holodeck to test a fake

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  Granted.  CSO:  Could you please monitor sensors.

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: will do

TO-Thompson says:
::walks to the TL:: Holodeck 1.

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: However, this ship is equipped with internal sensors.

 Boothby says:
XO: in my ship… all inside can see outside.

CEO_AQilla says:
::slaves tac to her console while TO is gone::

TO-Thompson says:
::walks out::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Most of the crew cabins have portals.

TO-Thompson says:
Computer Program test fake beta 1

TO-Thompson says:
::walks in::

TO-Thompson says:
::walks to Tac::

CEO_AQilla says:
::returns Tac to console::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: And, as you can see, this lounge has a great view of space.

TO-Thompson says:
::in the Holodeck::

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  Effectiveness of your fakes?

 Boothby says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: I don't think they will be back right away. 4 ships is a lot to lose over one pod and I think they don't have any more this close to your sector..

TO-Thompson ::fires fake one:: (Photon.wav)

TO-Thompson says:
wow 50% damage on a probe.

TO-Thompson says:
::walks back to the TL:: Bridge

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: That's good news, as far as it goes.  We would prefer to keep our distance from them.

TO-Thompson says:
::walks back to Tac::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::listens to conversation::

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: Fakes do 50%damage on the shield of a type 5 probe

 Boothby says:
CO: Well they are still trying to take over this universe and mine....that is why I am here..

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  Can you improve that?

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Are you proposing an alliance?

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: i will try.

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  Please do so.

 Boothby says:
XO: Nothing so noble ! They came into our universe we repelled them and chased them here....where we destroyed them.

TO-Thompson says:
::as he presses some buttons the console explodes:: ahhhhhhh

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  Anything on sensors?

CEO_AQilla says:
::runs to TO::  TO:  Are you OK?

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: I've read some of the reports from Voyager through our Pathfinder Project.

TO-Thompson says:
CEO:I think so. Can you please get us a new Tac console

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: Was there something particular you wanted to discuss?

 Boothby says:
XO: So they were able to tell you something about our encounters...eh? Well....big deal...

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: nothing on sensors sir

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::looks at sensors and notices the explosion::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: We just know about you... somewhat.

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  Get some crews from Eng. to come up and fix that console.  In the meantime slave tactical to one of the other stations

 Boothby says:
::nods:: yes......

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Sorry to interrupt you but there was an explosion on bridge

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: aye sir.

TO-Thompson says:
::goes to Helm:: FCO: mine if you slave Tac here.

 CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Check on the situation out there.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Vince says:
TO:  No problem

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  What happened?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Exits lounge and enters bridge:: TO: what happened here? was anyone hurt?

TO-Thompson says:
CEO:I was pressing some buttons to improve the fakes then it explode

 Boothby says:
::walks around the room....looking at everything from the wallpaper to the lighting...to the mounts for the tables.....::

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  What caused it?

TO-Thompson says:
CTO: Tac explode no I should be fine.

TO-Thompson says:
CEO:I don't know

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
TO: Aye

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: How would we be of help to each other?

CEO_AQilla says:
::notes two Engineers enter the Bridge::  Eng.:  Work with the TO.  Find out what caused that explosion.

TO-Thompson says:
ENG: all i was doing was pressing these buttons. ::points to the buttons:: and it just explode.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
TO: I'll report this to the captain, in the mean time you better try and find out what happened

 Boothby says:
XO: There will be no help from us. We do not what you or anyone invading our space. Your atoms disrupt our space as do the Borg.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Exits bridge and enters lounge::

CEO_AQilla says:
[Eng]: Which buttons?  ::looks at damaged console::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO:  Sounds like a proposal of a non-aggression pact to me.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: There was an explosion on the tac console

TO-Thompson says:
ENG:I pointed to them. ::points again::

 CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Casualties?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Unknown

 Boothby says:
XO: I just wanted one last look at your technology before I took my people back, and.... to let you know that with your help i was able to account for all my people....

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: Unlike the Borg, we don't want to invade your space.

CEO_AQilla says:
[Eng]:  Let me look at this. ::breaks out tools and begins to examine the console::

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: We're pleased to have been of service.

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: However, I was thinking that your species and our Federation could ally.  Together, we could be a formidable force to prevent further Borg incursions.

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Both in your space and in our quadrant.

CEO_AQilla says:
[Eng]: TO:  You've made a mess of this console.  It's going to take me a couple of hours to fix it.

TO-Thompson says:
ENG: Ok.

TO-Thompson says:
::walks to the lounge::

TO-Thompson says:
CTO: can i see you for a sec.

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  Do you have tactical?

 Boothby says:
CO: Your Captain Janeway almost killed us off, then helped understand us....too bad our technology can't coexist......we don't need you to prevent the Borg we have the weapons to obliterate them.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: May I be excused for a moment?

 CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Go ahead.

FCO_Vince says:
CEO:  Yeah, I got it

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: thank you

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::walks over to TO::

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: Perhaps our goals will occasionally coincide as they did here.

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Maybe you would like to meet with our Federation Council on Earth?

TO-Thompson says:
CTO: why would that have happened?

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Maybe actually meet the man you resemble at Starfleet Academy.

 Boothby says:
CO: Maybe...but as for now.. i must return to liquid space or my people will perish...

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
TO: Perhaps a power over flow, but there is no real logical conclusion

 CO_TPaula says:
Boothby: I'm pleased with the outcome of this encounter.  We won't keep you any longer.  We'll accompany you back to the shuttlebay.

 Boothby says:
XO: perhaps...one day...if we both still exist.

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Understandable.  I hope the wisdom you picked up here helps you in your struggle against the Borg.

TO-Thompson says:
CTO: The ENG are looking at the console now

 Boothby says:
::nods at the CO::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
TO: Understood, let me know if anything further happens

TO-Thompson says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.

TO-Thompson says:
::leaves the lounge::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows CO, XO and Boothby::

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  Slave tactical to the Ops console

XO_VanSickle says:
::escorts Boothby, along with CO and CTO::

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: aye,sir.

TO-Thompson says:
::slaves Tac to OPS::

CEO_AQilla says:
TO:  And discontinue work on the fakes until we find out why the console exploded.  50% will have to do for now.

TO-Thompson says:
CEO: aye, sir

XO_VanSickle says:
Computer: Shuttle Bay 1.

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops near SB1::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows group::

XO_VanSickle says:
::leads party to SB1, where "Boothby's" pod awaits::

 Boothby says:
::before entering the pod...he turns::

XO_VanSickle says:
::awaits to hear from Boothby one last time::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Awaits Boothby's statement::

CEO_AQilla says:
[Eng]: CEO:  I think I found the problem.  It seems to have been a power feedback.

CSO_Shiar says:
::twiddles thumbs::

 Boothby says:
CO, XO: I hope we do not meet again...no offense.......:he turns and as he enters the pod.. ::he changes back to the orange...8472::

CEO_AQilla says:
[Eng]: CEO:  That should fix it.  ::Stands up::

XO_VanSickle says:
Boothby: Best of luck.

CEO_AQilla says:
Eng:  Run diagnostics on the console

TO-Thompson says:
i won't why?

 Boothby says:
<<<The Pod elevates and jumps out of the shuttle........disappearing in a brilliant flash of light....it's gone>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Now that's what I call an exit.

 CO_TPaula says:
::heads back to the bridge::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows CO and XO::

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: the pod is off sensors sir

XO_VanSickle says:
::follows everyone to bridge::

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  Acknowledged.  Any sign of the Borg?

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: not at the minute

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  Good.

 CO_TPaula says:
::arrives on the bridge::

 CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Status?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Goes to tac position::

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves center seat::  CO:  The pod has disappeared from sensors, there are no signs of Borg activity and the Tac console is repaired.

XO_VanSickle says:
::overhears the report::

 CO_TPaula says:
::nods approval::

 Boothby says:
