#Mission Summary

Last time on the Scorpius, the ship launched to give aid to Starbase 64 during an attack by 47 Jem’Hadar ships.

The Federation succeeded in fending off the enemy ships, however, and the Starbase and many of the defending ship are now working to pick up the pieces.

The Scorpius has been towed back to the Starbase where repairs are now underway.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: AQilla! You here?

CMO_Garta says:
*CTO* T'Lok, I've found Pel Tor.  I think you should come to sickbay.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Self: Pretty much of everything is damaged, the repair teams will have a hard time repairing all of this.

FCO_Vince says:
::enters TL::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CMO* What’s the problem, Jeni?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sends the information on the systems that still need repair to the CEO. ::

CIV_Horn says:
::Scoops his son up::

CMO_Garta says:
*CTO* He's hurt.....badly...just come.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: Starbase repair crews arrive and begin repairs.  Power is taken offline on deck 1 as repairs begin.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::working much to fast for his own good, he runs his hand over a broken chip and cuts his hands...ignoring the pain, he continues at a more careful pace::  Self: That was bright...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Drops everything he is working on and rushes to sickbay, knocking over a crewman on the way there::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: If it weren't for those enhanced weapons, we would have many more damaged/destroyed ships.  Possibly even mine.

CEO_Kellenway says:
Self: About time. I was afraid forever would end before these repairs.

CMO_Garta says:
::begins surgery with Curtis' aid::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moves over to the CSO. ::   CSO:  Sir...?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Self: My son....my nephew.....NO, he IS my son regardless.  He must be ok, he just has to be ok.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::becoming flustered as power goes down, he forces himself to put on a mask of calm::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CO: Command has confirmed that the attack was initiated by GALE Force and the remnant of the attack force continued toward Cardassian space

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Are we going to head back there to take care of them?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Bends down to look under the science console... ::   CSO:  Sir?  Are you alright?

FCO_Vince says:
<SBC>FCO:  Hi Vince.  ::hands FCO a PADD::  As you can see, we lucked out a bit.  The damage is moderate, and the main doors are still intact

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  What about you?  Are you OK?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Notices the cut on the Cmdr's hand. ::

CMO_Garta says:
Curtis: We deal with the head trauma first

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Arrives in sickbay::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::turns and smiles::  OPS:  Mister Anari.  How may I be of assistance?  ::hides his hand::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Any medical personal at hand: Where is my son?

FCO_Vince says:
SBC:  Thanks Frank.  Need an extra hand?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: If we do, we should make it a more-than-one-ship task force.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Removes her gloves and tucks them into her boot. ::

CIV_Horn says:
XO: I am fine.

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  I've seen your hand, Cmdr.  You need medical assistance with that.  Please, I can help.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: Federation ships are in that area and have encountered the Jem'Hadar.  Once the Scorpius is space worthy, you'll be sent in for support or to assist in the clean up.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Paces back and forth in the sickbay waiting area::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Extends her bare hand to the CSO. ::

CMO_Garta says:
::thins a cranial hemorrhage and begins dealing with nerve damage::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Aye, ma'am.  About the Brikar that was with T'Ran.  What is Starfleet going to do about him?  Even in solitary, he's going to be able to communicate with GALE.  He's like a Borg drone, except he doesn't follow a hive mind.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::blushes green and extends his hand::  OPS:  You weren't supposed to see that...

FCO_Vince says:
<SBC>FCO:  If you want.  Although I think the station is sending a detail over.  ::looks to the shuttle bay’s engineer::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: Lights fail in engineering, leaving repair teams working in the dark.

CMO_Garta says:
<Houlihan> CTO: He's in surgery.  You need to scrub up before you go in.  The doctor said it was okay as long as you stay away from  the table and out of her way.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles and takes his hand. ::   CSO:  You can't hide from an empath.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to her computer console and begins checking reports::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Watches as the cuts on the CSO's hands heal, and the cuts appear on hers. ::

CEO_Kellenway says:
<Johnson>: Not now! ::She moves to the nearest console, and tries to get lights restored::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Houlihan: I think it best if I stay out here, you know how I can become when I am upset.  But please keep me posted if you can.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: Its worse than we thought, looking will only depress you.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::feels his hand heal::  OPS:  That's interesting...where'd you learn that?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: With the information that we received from the Scorpius regarding T'Ran when he was disguised as your Chief Tactical Officer, he was scanned for cranial implants or any other like device. 

FCO_Vince says:
<SBE>FCO/SBC:  Yes. They should be coming onboard momentarily.  I believe everything will be under control here.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::wonders how far this gift goes and has a chill down his spine::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: And?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  It's my job.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes slow, deep breaths as she feels the pain from the cuts. ::   CSO:  I'm minaran, and can help with some healings.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Watches as the cuts on her hands heal. ::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: He has undergone surgery for the removal of two such devices as have the other known members of GALE force that are in custody.

CMO_Garta says:
<Houlihan> CTO: Whatever you want, but I think the doctor was hoping to see you.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles at the CSO. ::   CSO:  Better?

FCO_Vince says:
SBE:  Thanks Zyran.  I'll go see if they need help on the bridge, then.

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  You didn't have to do that.  It was a minor cut, after all.  Yes, thank you.  ::hesitates a second::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Thinks for a moment, then decides to go into the operating room::

CEO_Kellenway says:
::finishes up repairs on the conduit, and proceeds to the next junction of the jeffries tube::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels her body shudder just a bit as the last of the cuts on her hands heal.  Places her gloves back on her hands. ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hits the intercom:: *CEO*:  Status of repairs, Lt?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Puts on a sterile uniform and goes into the operating room::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Good.  So our orders are to go back to Cardassian space.  We'll be ready for them again.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: I know, but it can all be summed up in one word.

FCO_Vince says:
SBC:  Understood.  Don't overdo it, Sir

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles at the CSO. ::   I know, but with the shape the ship is in...if I can help, I will.  I'm glad it's better, sir.

FCO_Vince says:
::smiles as he exits the Shuttlebay and enters a TL::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  And what word would that be?  ::grins at him::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Sees his sons small broken body on the table, knees become weak and he nearly falls to the floor::

CMO_Garta says:
::looks up and sees Nmbarri:: CTO: Stay back from the table..............I'm glad you're here. ::goes back to work::

CIV_Horn says:
::Laughs::

FCO_Vince says:
Computer:  Main bridge

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  You said you were an empath?

CEO_Kellenway says:
*XO*: Coming along steady, sir. It's a lot of work, and we're taking it one section at a time.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::With fear in his voice, speaks to the CMO:: CMO: Jeni, you can help him, you have to help him....please.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Stands slowly and looks around. ::   CSO:  Yes.  I sense feelings and can heal some injuries.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: The Scorpius is among the ships listed as priority for repairs, Mister VanSickle.  Once the repairs are complete, you'll join the task force at Cardassia. 

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  I am also telepathic

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Aye, ma'am.  Anything else?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Good.  I'm also getting reports of a power failure in Engineering.  You might want to take a look at that.

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  That's the ullian side of me...the telepathy

CIV_Horn says:
XO: That word would be, Sick!

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  ::freezes in place::  Tele...   Touch-telepath?  ::fear rises::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::shakes her head:: CO: Take advantage of your short time here, from what has been happening, it may be a while before you get another chance at it.

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  No...well...depends on how you wish to look at it.

CMO_Garta says:
::removes a large blood clot:: CTO: I'm doing my best.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Yes, ma'am.  I have a dinner date with the commanders Horn.  ::stands:: Am I dismissed?

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Sir, can you hear me? ~~~

CEO_Kellenway says:
::curses to himself:: *XO*:Understood, sir. ::he double taps his communicator:: *Lt Johnson*: Kellenway to Lt Johnson. Something going on down there I need to know about?

FCO_Vince says:
::exits the TL and enters the bridge::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees the FCO arrive and smiles at him. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  ::fear prevalent::  Yes, I hear you...~~~~  ::wonders if he will have to take action here::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CO: Of course, Captain.  And good luck.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  I can't think of a better word for this ship right now.  But I believe she'll be better in no time.  ::puts Jala down and watches her run into her room::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::sits down on the floor in a corner of the room::

CEO_Kellenway says:
<Johnson>:*CEO* We have no lights down here, sir. Hard to make repairs in the dark. We're trying to get backup systems working.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Action?  Sir, you have nothing to fear from me. ~~~

CIV_Horn says:
::Sets Russ down::

FCO_Vince says:
::smiling back::  OPS:  Need a hand up here?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Thank you.  ::exits:: *XO/CIV*: AQilla, Russ?  We still on for dinner?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Sure, Captain?  Where shall we meet you?

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  Perhaps not, but you may have things to fear from and about me.~~~~

CIV_Horn says:
*CO*: We will be there shortly.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I'm not sure, considering the power is now down on this deck.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Promenade deck, the Italian restaurant.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Yes, I sense that.  But beyond that, I will not pry and I will not ask. ~~~

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  We'll meet you there.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::makes way to promenade::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::blinks::  FCO:  Always room for another hand, Mister Vince.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Twins coming?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns her computer terminal off::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: Power is restored to deck one, and as the repair crews continue to deck two power to that deck goes offline.

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Gladly.  Where?

CMO_Garta says:
::closes up the incision and turns to deal with the broken arm::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: The lights in engineering flicker and then return to full power.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Sure, why not?

CEO_Kellenway says:
::exits the jeffries tube, and heads for a TL, to go to Engineering::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moves towards her station and checks her console. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  I am curious.  How much do you REALLY know about me?~~~~  ::is intrigued by the depth of understanding and tact this officer shows::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: I went to the day care to make sure he was okay but he wasn't there.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: I'll make it a table for five with two high chairs.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Where was he, and who gave permission for him to be elsewhere?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::arrives at the Italian restaurant, walks up to maitre d'::

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  I sense you have done some things in the line of duty.  That you seek peace, yet find pleasure still in preparing for a battle. ~~~

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::picks her son up:: CIV:  You want to get Jala?

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  I think the Flight panels themselves need some reprogramming and diagnostic work, and navigation is still a mess.  haven't got that far yet.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: Got her. ::Picks up Jala::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Maitre d': Bonjourno.  Do you have a table available for five with two high chairs included?

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  No problem.  I'll check it out.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees an amber light on her console and moves under it. ::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: I couldn't find him.  I kept checking around.  He was in the class for the older students.  The one that was hit so bad.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Ready?

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  You intrigue me.  What things have I done, if you know?  ::raises toughest mental shields::~~~~

CIV_Horn says:
XO: After you.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Who told his teacher that he could leave his class to go to the other one?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits her quarters and makes her way to the docking port::

FCO_Vince says:
::gets underneath the helm::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: They were doing a study on Xenobiology.  He wanted to go volunteer as an example.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  You have killed in the line of duty...for the division of Starfleet where you were assigned. ~~~

CSO_Turnbull says:
::returns to his console and begins a level 5 diagnostic on the input panels and sensor palettes::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Removes the panel and checks her chips. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Maitre d'> CO: Captain VanSickle!  It's a pleasure to see you here!  Yes, we do have a table available.  Where are the other four?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: That sounds like my son, always volunteering to help others.

FCO_Vince says:
::begins pulling chips and sifting through wires::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Since they encourage the children to interact she allowed him to go.

CEO_Kellenway says:
::enters ME, and asks Lt Johnson for a status report::

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  You at times regret having to do those things.  Even now, you are leery of my empathic senses. ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Maitre d': They're on their way.  You can seat me and send Cmdr. Horn, Lt. Cmdr. Horn and their children to the table when the arrive.

CIV_Horn says:
::Follows the XO::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the SB's promenade and heads for the restaurant::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  And where was I assigned if you can tell?~~~~  ::no longer has fear but a lot of curiosity about this officer that seems to know only things the SC knows::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Maitre d'> CO: Si, signor.  Right this way.

Host Susan says:
ACTION: As the panel is removed a small shower of chips fall to the deck.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::follows maitre d' and has seat at table, while maitre d' has staff bring two high chairs::

CMO_Garta says:
::repairs the arm and begins mending the ribs::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Man, what a mess!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::maitre d' arrives back at front entrance::

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  You were a Starfleet Intelligence Operative, sir. ~~~   :: Says calmly in her telepathic conversation with the CSO. ::

Host Susan says:
<Johnson> CEO: Now that lights have been restored and the starbase team have joined us, repairs are back on schedule.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: Hopefully we can have a quiet dinner.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the restaurant::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Maitre d'> XO: May I help you?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Let's hope so ... but with these two ...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: well, from now on I wish to be notified when my son is going to be out of his classroom.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Giggles ::    FCO:  Very much a mess, sir!  It's not surprising we needed that tow.

CEO_Kellenway says:
Johnson: Thank you, Lt. Good work. If you have things under control here, I'm heading up to deck 6 to look at the repairs there.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: With all the action lately, even with them we can have a quiet dinner.

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS: I have reason to fear.  If my superiors even suspected you COULD know this, you might be a corpse on the deck.  By my hand.  Does that frighten you?~~~~  ::keeps his feelings level::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Replaces some burnt out chips, replaces the panel. ::

FCO_Vince says:
::reconnecting wires and discarding some burned out chips::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Maitre d':  Yes, please.  Captain VanSickle's table, please.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  If that is how it must be...then all I ask is that you do it quickly. ~~~   :: Says without fear. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Maitre d'> XO: Ah, signora Cmdr. Horn.  You and your fine husband and cute twins are to come this way.  ::leads the Horns to the CO's table::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::follows::

CIV_Horn says:
::Is ready to eat::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Checks her panel and begins a diagnostic of her console. ::

Host Susan says:
<Johnson> CEO: Aye, Sir.  We'll keep you posted if anything changes.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::clears the panel at Science One::  ALL:   Science is green, all functions.  FCO:  You need any help at Navigation?

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Go check the messages in your quarters.  She did send you a note about it.  We were busy with the attack so she couldn't contact you directly.

CEO_Kellenway says:
::nods, and leaves ME, taking some needed parts from storage and heads to deck 6::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::maitre d' brings Horns to within view of CO, CO stands::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Keeps her eyes lowered in case she does die, not wanting to see it coming, but knows she would sense it. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Maitre d'> XO: You're seat, signora commander.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Realizes he is being harsh towards his son’s teacher::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Maitre d'> ::pulls out chair for the XO::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  You realize I would have to dispose of any witnesses as well, don't you?~~~~  ::walks toward the FCO purposefully::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I am sure you are right, it’s just that I am....::Can’t quite finish his sentence::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Maitre d':  Thank you.  ::puts Russ into one of the high chairs then takes her seat::

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  I could probably use a hand, yeah, Sir

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: AQilla, this is somewhat informal.

CIV_Horn says:
::Puts Jala in the other seat and sits::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::maitre d' leaves table::

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  ::lays hand on shoulder::  What needs fixing?

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: You are what?

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Yes, sir.  Then perhaps we should leave the bridge so you can dispose of me if that is your intent. ~~~   :: Keeps her tone neutral. ::

CMO_Garta says:
::finishes with the ribs and excuses Curtis from the surgery bay::

FCO_Vince says:
::jumps in response to the CSO's touch, hitting his head on the underside of the console::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::in very shaky words:: CMO: I can't lose him.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::looks at Jala:: Jala: And how's the cutie-patutie little girl?

FCO_Vince says:
Intaqh!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Giggles a little at the FCO. ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CO:  Yes, Sir.  ::can't bring herself to call him 'Eric' just yet::

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Sorry.  Your touch startled me.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks directly at the CSO, her head held high but not in defiance. ::

CIV_Horn says:
CO: So how long till we are able to resume our mission?

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~OPS:  ::laughs::  No, E'Laina.  But please feel free to use my first name if you are not speaking aloud.~~~~  FCO:  Something out of sorts, Lieutenant?  

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
<Jala> ::laughs::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Come here.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Waiter> CO/XO/CIV: Greetings, I am Paulo.  Could I interest you in an appetizer?

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Blood trickles down Vince's forehead from his contact with the console.

CMO_Garta says:
::reaches out her hand to draw the CTO to the table::

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  No, just instincts sometimes act on their own.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles, sees the FCO and moves towards him. ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Gets up off the floor and goes over to the surgical table, taking the CMO's hand when he gets there::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Just until we're space worthy again.  Waiter: None for me thanks.  I'll just have a diet cola to start.

CIV_Horn says:
Paulo: Yes, yes you may interest me.

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  I apologize.  it is my way, and I shall refrain if you like.  ::withdraws his hand::  And I do understand.  ~~~~OPS:  Don't we?~~~~

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Paulo:  What do you recommend?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Taking off her gloves... ::  FCO:  Please let me...   :: Extends her bare hand and places it next to the gash on the FCO's head. ::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: You aren't going to lose him.  Things are still touch and go right now, but he's strong.

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  Well, now I have a problem.  How do you think I should resolve it?~~~~

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  It's not your fault.  I need to replace these.  ::holds out a handful of fried chips::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> CIV/XO: May I suggest the finest antipasto salad you can find in the galaxy?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I decided that I don't care if he is my nephew, he will always be my son as far as I am concerned.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::sits at navigation and begins to rewire and reprogram the console, often handling live wires with bare hands::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  What are you... doing?

CIV_Horn says:
Paulo: I will have an appetizer to start with.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Don't we, what sir? ~~~

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Paulo:  Sounds delightful.  I'll have one and two small servings for the children.

CIV_Horn says:
Paulo: I want the stuffed mushrooms.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Watches the cut on the FCO's head heal and feels the pain as the cut opens on hers. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Mister Vince, Lieutenant Anari has a unique medical talent.  You'll see.  Look at her head.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I just hope and pray that you can accept him, knowing who his real father is.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> XO: That's three salads... CIV: Stuffed mushrooms... CO: And a diet cola.  I'll be right back to take your entree orders. ::leaves::

FCO_Vince says:
::has the biggest dumbfounded look::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Winces just a bit as she feels the pain on her head. ::

CEO_Kellenway says:
::delivers the parts to repair teams on deck 6. After a few moments chatter, he leaves them be, heading towards the bridge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/CIV: Now that he's gone, I guess we can discuss business.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Lt Kellenway tells me repairs are proceeding on schedule.

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  I was saying we understand what operating on instinct means.  Like your instinctive desire to help others.~~~~

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Additional repair teams are called in from the Starbase and new faces show up on the bridge and continue repairs.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: What does his father have to do with whether or not I love Pel Tor?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels the pain subside as the gash heals itself. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: How long until we're space worthy?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  It's still going to be a while.  We took a lot of damage.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::notes the new arrivals and watches where they go for repairs very carefully and with interest but says nothing::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  That's... incredible.  Why did you do that?  It was only a scratch.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: T’Ran did some unthinkable things to you, I was worried that knowing that he is Pel Tor's father might influence your feelings toward the boy.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: How long is "a while"?

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Yes, sir...we do understand each other. ~~~   :: Says faintly. ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  At least 12 hours, maybe longer.  We're using as many of the Starbase's repair teams as we can to get it done as quickly as we can.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: That little boy is not his father.  In fact he's far from it.

CEO_Kellenway says:
::steps off the TL, heading straight for the Engineering console.::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes a deep breath, replaces her gloves and looks at the FCO. ::   FCO:  It's nothing, sir.  I helped it...I helped you.  I took it away.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I am so happy to hear you say that.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: What about you?

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  I have a talent of my own.~~~~  ::places hand on her neck and shares the pain with her so she does not feel as much::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shudders slightly her body tingling with all that is going on around her. ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: What about me?

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  I feel somewhat... honored... that you decided to show me that.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Are YOU okay?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I guess I can expect it done in six.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Closes her eyes. ::   ~~~ CSO: Thank you sir. ~~~   FCO:  My pleasure, sir.   :: Smiles faintly. ::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I am well...just a bit tired.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I doubt we could get it done in six, even if we wanted to.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: ... that is if you taught Tom the Montgomery Scott rule of engineering?

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Not surprising.  Maybe someday we'll actually get some time off.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Can  you look at him and not think of him as T'Ran's son?

FCO_Vince says:
::smirks::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  Just remember it.  There may be a time where you need help.  So how do you think I should solve my problem?  The bridge is far too populated now.~~~~  ::chuckles to himself::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> ::returns with the salads, mushrooms and diet cola::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Are you feeling better?   :: Eyes still closed. ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::laughs:: CO:  Maybe ...

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Do you need to kill me, sir? ~~~

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Time off is for the weak, Lieutenant.  Status report on the Flight Panel?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Paulo: Gratsi, Paulo.  I think we're ready to order.

CEO_Kellenway says:
::watches the repair teams work on the Engineering console, waiting for them to finish::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Jeni, Pel Tor was given to me as my son.  He is a Nmbarri, thus he is my blood.  And besides, I can be a much better father to him than T’Ran could ever think of being.

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  If I were to obey my primary directive, yes...but I no longer work for that branch of Starfleet.~~~~

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Me?  I'm fine.  CSO:  Yes Sir!  Repairs are continuing.  I just need to replace some fried circuits

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> CO: Si, signor.  What would you like?

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Then...are how do you feel now that you know the extent of my...um...gifts? ~~~

CSO_Turnbull says:
::chuckles at the non-sequiter of the conversations he is having::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Paulo: I would like the vegetarian ravioli.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: I know that.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Opens her eyes. ::   FCO:  I'm glad, sir.  :: Moves back to her console. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> CO: Excellent choice, captain.  XO: And you, signora commander?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Puts his hands on the CMO's shoulders and looks her directly in the eyes:: CMO: He needs more than a good father though, he needs good parents.  We are those parents, don't you agree?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Paulo:  The vegetable Lasagna please.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> ::thinks what is it with SF officers and veggies?:: XO: Excellent choice.  How about the bambinos?

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  I think they are wonderful.  You have a good heart E'Laina.  To kill you would be to disobey a higher directive and even my old sections.  It would be an affront to all that is holy.  I could not.~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shudders slightly again with all that she is sensing from around the ship and Starbase. ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Paulo:  Two small servings of the Lasagna for them, too, please.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> XO: Yes, signora.  CIV: And for you, signor lieutenant commander?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles to herself. ::   ~~~ CSO:  Thank you, sir, for sparing me.  I do not allow many to know of my gifts. ~~~

CIV_Horn says:
Paulo: I will have the large Cheese Calzone, and an sweet ice tea.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: I am more than happy to think of Pel Tor as my son.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Paulo:  Could I also get three glasses of water.

CMO_Garta says:
::looks back at the sleeping boy::

Host B`niari says:
::walks up to the CEO:: CEO: Lieutenant ummm... Kellenway?

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO/OPS:  I think we have it well underway.  I have need of refreshment.  Would you two like to join me?  ::has a thirst for a god single-malt scotch::

CIV_Horn says:
Paulo: Water would be good.

CEO_Kellenway says:
B'niari: That's me, Mr....?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> CIV: Ah, calzone!  My personal favorite.  All: I'll get your waters and tea and enter your orders for your entrees.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Paulo:  Thank you.

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  You never had anything to fear, and I said call me S'Toran if you are not speaking aloud.  Perhaps we have more in common than you realize.~~~~

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Then why don't we formalize that.  I have been skirting the issue of marriage with you for far too long.  Let's do it, now!  Let's sneak off to the SB chaplain and just get married.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: They have the best calzone in this sector.

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  Thank you, sir.  But there is still something wrong with my panel.  The diagnostic isn't complete yet.

FCO_Vince says:
::gets up::  CSO:  I can't think of anything better, Sir.  

Host B`niari says:
CEO: Ens. B'niari, Sir.  I'm leading one of the repair teams.  I just wanted to give you the status reports from the initial repairs.

FCO_Vince says:
::replaces the chips and finishes hooking things together::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: With Pel Tor barely out of surgery?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Any idea on our orders yet, Sir?

Host B`niari says:
CEO: Sir, it looks like it will be at least 24 hours before we're able to get you ready to launch.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO:  Thank you, S'Toran.  And I would say it's the OTHER way around.  You will find we do have more in common than perhaps even you realize. ~~~   :: Says with a slight giggles to her tone. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  I'm sure the techs here can take care of it, Lieutenant.  FCO:  What do you think Lieutenant?  Shall I order the lieutenant to have some fun with us?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Can you think of anything else that would make him happier?

FCO_Vince says:
::quickly initiates a full diagnostic on the helm control::

CEO_Kellenway says:
B'niari: That long? What is the hold up?

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Yes, I can.  Him being there.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::watches the twins eat rather messily::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  Please.  Join us for some relaxation.  We have much to discuss I suspect.~~~~

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  I would ::trying to hide his smile::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Yes.  We're to return to Cardassian space to clean up after the task force dispatches the GALE Jem’Hadar ships.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles ::   CSO:  If that's an order, sir...I cannot refuse it.   :: Laughs lightly. ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I see your point, guess I got carried away.  How long do you think he will be asleep?

OPS-Anari says:
~~~  CSO:  Alright, S'Toran.  I would be happy to, though it is rude to hold a telepathic conversation in the company of a non-telepath, don't you think? ~~~

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Then it is so ordered!  ::smiles wryly::  FCO:  Lead on to the tankards, Mister Vince!  We shall sing a song or two.  But no opera, all right?  I have a weak stomach...

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  What do they mean, "clean up"?

Host B`niari says:
CEO: It's the repairs to the outer hull, Sir.  With the number of ships damaged, as well as the damage to the Starbase itself, the crews are behind schedule.

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Can your stomach handle Blues?

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: 12 hours at least.  I removed 5 blood clots from his brain.  I don't want him awake yet.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods and looks over to another OPS tech, moving from her console. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: In other words, take out what's left.

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  Perhaps, but it is perfect cover if you are being clandestine.  Besides...how would we offend him?  He has no knowledge of it.~~~~

CEO_Kellenway says:
::nods to the Ensign:: Yeah, makes sense. Alright. Thank you Ensign. 

OPS-Anari says:
:: Follows the CSO and FCO. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Blues, Jazz, Fusion, you name it.  Just not Klingon Opera.

FCO_Vince says:
::enters the TL::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Giggles aloud and catches herself and turns it into a cough. ::

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Fair enough

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Then how about this, When he wakes up, we call the chaplain to come here.  I am willing to risk letting you think about this for 12 hours.  ::shoots a sly smile at the CMO::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Follows the FCO and CSO. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: What's your opinion?

CSO_Turnbull says:
::enters the TL with his fellow officers::  ALL:  So what's our destination then?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Paulo> ::brings drinks out::

Host B`niari says:
::nods as he steps away:: CEO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  The Oasis?  Or somewhere on the starbase?

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~OPS:  Do you have ANY idea how relieved I am that my "secret" is out?~~~~

CEO_Kellenway says:
B'niari: Anything I can do to help, let me know, ok?

CIV_Horn says:
CO: Well first of all, all crewman need to be checked as the re-board the ship.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles ::   FCO/CSO:  Someplace on the Starbase.  Let's get the heck off the ship for a bit

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Onboard is fine with me, unless you'd rather the starbase.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Well...

FCO_Vince says:
OPS/CSO:  Starbase it is!
