AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  What's our ETA to the Neutral Zone?

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
self: Hmm, I heard of thoroughness but this is a little ridiculous.

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Nods at the CNS, and stares at the viewscreen::

FCO_Vince says:
AXO:  Approximately 36 hours

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
*AXO* Cmdr. Horn, I have finished my analysis of the goo.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Returns Selan's nod in a curious manner::

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
*MO*:  Bring your report to the bridge, Ensign.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
*AXO* Aye sir.

EO_Rev`Rik says:
::in main engineering.. looking over the warp core injection system::

Host CO_TPaula says:
::nods::  AXO: What's the status of the ship's systems?

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Bridge to Engineering.  What is the status of the ship's systems?

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
::sees an officer watching her and smiles::

EO_Rev`Rik says:
*AXO*: all systems are running with in specified parameters sir..

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
AXO: Here's my report sir. ::hands AQilla the PADD::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Blushes::

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  All systems operating normally.  ::takes the PADD::  MO:  And you findings?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Sees her talking to AQilla and wonders how his 2 little friends are::

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
AXO: Mr. Calder did a good job blasting that individual.  The goo is all that's left of a Chameloid.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
AXO: And since a Chameloid's natural state is somewhat humanoid, I shudder to think how high that phaser setting was.

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Notes the CNS and his lack of concentration:: CNS: Counselor?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CIV: Yes Sir?

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: MO:  Anything else of interest?

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
CNS: Are you all right?

EO_Rev`Rik says:
::moves over to check the status of the shields and internal sensors::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CIV: Yes Sir. Besides a sunburn. Why do I look like I'm not? Am I in trouble again?

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
AXO: Just that I've stopped the testing.  Chameloids don't show through a normal blood test so my staff is working on a new way to identify them.

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
CNS: Calm down, Counselor. You're not in trouble. You were staring off into space, so to speak.

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
MO:  Thank you Garta.  Let me know if you come up with something.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
AXO: Aye sir.

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain, I have a report on our intruder.

Host CO_TPaula says:
AXO: Yes?

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  It appears we were infiltrated by a Chameloid.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
::walks to the CTO:: CTO: Sorry about the physical, but I figured it would be a painless way to do it.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::nods::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Walks over to Selan:: CIV: I do have a lot on my mind and my concentration is a bit off. My Betazoid senses are starting to function, thanks to Jesse, but I'm not good at controlling them yet. There is a lot of emotion I am sensing from all over the ship. It is a bit overwhelming.

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  The number of shots fired at it simply caused it to melt.

Host CO_TPaula says:
AXO: I see.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
::glances over at the CNS and smiles again::

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
CNS: With good reason, I suppose.

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
MO: Thank you doctor, I now know to watch you when you have a tricorder in hand

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  And seeing that normal screening doesn't detect Chameloids, medical are working on a way to enable us to detect them.

Host CO_TPaula says:
AXO: Good.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CTO: Well, you should know to watch me anyway.  I'm trustworthy Lt. but I also know how to get a job done efficiently.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Sees Little red haired girl from the corner of his eye, looks at her, smiles and blushes again::

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
MO: Just be yourself and you will do fine

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CTO: By the way, am I to check with you or CIV Selan regarding the Chameloid remains?

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
MO: Check with me or AXO Horn

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CIV: Well I am supposing much has happened in my absence and their is still the Nmbarri thing and I really need to see Mr. Calder but he is busy::

FCO_Vince says:
::double checks the course::

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Nods:: CNS: Stress seems to have heightened because of recent incidents. I do believe you have your work cut out for you in this case.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CTO: Then consider yourself checked with, I'm done with the remains.  You can do whatever you'd like to with them.

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
MO: Thank you doctor

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
:::leaves Tactical and walks towards the CIV, motioning that she wants to talk with him::

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Quirks eyebrow upon seeing the MO approaching:: MO: Can I help you?

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CIV: I wanted to check on you sir.  You look a bit tired.

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::His quirking eyebrow turned into a raised eyebrow:: MO: I'm fine. I don't feel tired.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Takes a nervous step back as MO approaches CIV::

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CIV: Just checking.  If you need anything, you know where to find me.

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Nods:: MO: Thank you.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS:  Hello, I'm Dr. Garta, new Medical Officer.  Whom do I have the pleasure of meeting?

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
::Gets up goes over to tactical:: CTO:  Anything on LRS?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
:: Looks at MO:: MO: Hi ::said nervously

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: I am Zach the ships counselor

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
AXO: Nothing yet, The Neutral zone is very quiet at the moment

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: Forgive me for staring at you but you are real pretty::

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  That's good to hear.

FCO_Vince says:
::groans::

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Had just lowered his eyebrow, and raises it again at what the CNS says next::

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I don't trust the Romulans.  Be prepared for anything.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::looks at the FCO in case he seems to need to be beamed to sickbay::

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
FCO: Are you all right, Lieutenant?

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CNS: Oh CNS Bauer, it's nice to meet you.  Thank you for the compliment, but we are on duty.  Would you mind escorting me to Sickbay?  The file on the birth of the Horn twins is incomplete but I understand you can answer that.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Looks at CIV's disapproving glance:: CIV: Sorry MO: Sorry Ma'am I was out of line.

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
AXO: I am ready to go to Red Alert at the first sign of trouble

FCO_Vince says:
CIV:  I'm fine, sir.

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
CNS: It is quite all right, Counselor. Just leave that for off duty.

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Good.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: Um...ok....sure.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CIV: Ok Sir, excuse me

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO: Are you certain?  It's unusual for a Klingon to groan.  Growl, his, swear...yes, but groan no.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
:: Is ready to follow MO......anywhere::

FCO_Vince says:
MO:  It's cool.  Commander Selan has taken care of it.

Host Jan says:
<<<<<<<<35 hours later Scorpius enters the borders of Starfleet and Romulan territory...Scorpius starts receiving the local outposts reports>>>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Over standing next to the CTO at the Tac. console::

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
CIV: We have arrived

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
::sitting in her office updating the final information on the Horn twins::

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sitting in her chair listening to the outpost reports::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::With MO in sickbay::

FCO_Vince says:
AXO:  We're approaching the Neutral Zone

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Acknowledged.  CTO:  Keep those scanners peeled ... I don't want any surprises.

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CNS: Zach, you must have been scared to death delivering those babies alone.

AXO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain, we've arrived at the Neutral Zone.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Anything on LRS?

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Nothing as of yet

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I'm dropping us out of warp

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: I was to scared to be nervous, but I hope I didn't let on to the Horn's that I was

FCO_Vince says:
::disengages warp and engages impulse::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: Especially with the complication with Rusty

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Lay in a patrol course and engage.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye

FCO_Vince says:
::plots a parallel course and engages at half impulse::

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CNS: I'm surprised how often the cord wraps around an unborn's neck.  I've been involved with over a dozen births and in 7 of them, I had to mess with that cord to save the baby.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Patrol course engaged at half impulse

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CNS: Would you like some tea?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: Well this was my real first delivery. We all came through it ok.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: Um....sure  ::Hates tea::

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CNS: Yes, I've met the Horn family.  Little Russ was asleep but Jala is so active.

FCO_Vince says:
::keeping an eye on those sensors::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: They are both so precious to me. I really love them lots

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
::sees the CNS' face:: CNS: Zach, you look like you don't like tea, what would you like instead?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: I so much appreciate Russ and AQilla allowing me to spend so much time with them

FCO_Vince says:
::checking for distance to the nearest outpost::

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CNS: I can understand why.  They brought back memories from my childhood. ::frowns for a moment at the memory of holding Karin's body::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: No this is fine, just not my first choice. I didn't want you to think I was a dumb kid and ask for my usual.....root beer

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Anything interesting in the outpost reports?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Gets struck with a sense of deep sorrow from MO::

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I am checking over them right now

MO_Garta_Jenise says:
CNS: I love root beer!  I got hooked on it in the Academy.  I drink tea when I'm feeling a little stressed.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
MO: It my special treat on special occasions usually its cranberry juice for me

CIV_Selan_Tracianolus says:
::Holding cane behind back, with both hands clasped around the handle. He looks slightly over the CTO's shoulder::

CTO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: All is quiet, nothing of interest

 CTO_Russ_Horn says:
CIV: Its a little too quiet for me
