Host ADM_Taylor says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host ADM_Taylor says:
The USS Scorpius had not what they thought incorrectly was a group of Maquis, but a Fleet Admiral and his entourage.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
Traveling in the guise of Maquis, this small band of covert operatives had to break cover and reveal themselves to the CO of the Scorpius.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
After meeting with the CO in his ready room, they entered the sensor-blind area to discover something ominous...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
A Cardassian weapons depot, not a Maquis depot as they had been expecting.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
The Cardassian Galor-class Trovestor had disappeared off sensors, but reappeared when the Scorpius broke out of the sensor blind.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
She immediately opened fire on the Scorpius, and the Scorpius returned fire with photon torpedoes just as the explosives set by the Scorpius went off destroying the depot.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
Because of the nature of the Badlands area of space, this created a level 8 shockwave that has thrown the Scorpius 14 light years out of the Badlands, and taken several key systems offline.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
The Trovestor appeared soon after, her life-support failing, attempting to outrun the ion storm that resulted from the shockwave.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
The Scorpius has rescued the survivors of the Trovestor and is providing medical aid as they warp back to Deep Space Nine.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
Gul Matraan was among the critically injured, and is at this point, unconscious in sickbay and under guard.  At the CO's request, Admiral Taylor is in command of the Scorpius...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: He's waking up.  The Appoxia is giving some strange readings.  I can't guarantee how clear he'll be in speaking with you.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Matraan: You know my orders were to investigate a Maquis weapons depot, not one of yours, but since Adm. Taylor was looking for your bunker, and we found it where it is in violation of treaty, we can't have this turn into a war.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  So, here we are... on the floor... again

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: I need to leave you for a moment.  If you need anything, just call me.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> ::pulls an Emergency tray to the bedside::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Admiral*: Admiral, we have a medical emergency with Gul Matraan.  It seems he's continuing to bleed internally.  I'm not sure how long he'll last.  I'll be on my way back to the bridge momentarily.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Stands with the CO::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

Host ADM_Taylor says:
FCO:  steady as she goes, Mister.  TO;  Keep a sharp eye, Mister...Lane, yes?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: It's just that we are in a business that tends to be a bit dangerous at times.  Once the baby is born, I am confident that I wont worry so much.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Curtis: Suction, I can't see through all of this.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  I believe so

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>:  Sees the repair teams report in...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> ::suctions out the excess blood in the area::

FCO_Vince says:
<Goodwin>:  ADM:  Aye Sir... Steady as she goes

CNS_McDonald says:
Admiral: can I be of assistance?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
*CO*:  Understood, Miser VanSickle.  And requisition yourself a new chair.  This one is wearing.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sopok: We've got a bleeder.

CSO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Looks back toward the room she just left and wonders how the patient is doing::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sopok> ::walks to the bed and begins assisting::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Concentrate on just that one thought.   :: In his mind now completely dark, knowing Vince has cleared his mind ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Admiral*: I told him my idea of how to tell Command and his superiors what happened.  ::hears the thing about the chair:: Sir, it's comfortable to me.

FCO_Vince says:
::taking in her scent, letting himself get lost in it::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

TO_Lane says:
Adm: Sensors appear to be clear, Sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sopok: There it is.  Why didn't you catch that before?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
*CO*:  As you wish, Commander.  I thought he might be amenable to that solution.  On your return, we have some things to discuss.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
XO: Jenise is trying to save the Cardassians life.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  My love...I'm not sure that is the thought you want to focus on...  ~~~   :: Giggles a little ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sopok> CMO: Because it wasn't there before Doctor.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Admiral*: Aye sir.  VanSickle out.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  And what else?  I know it when something is troubling you ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::removes a small sliver of bone::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
XO: What are you doing out of bed?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
TO:  Mister Lane, I've learned that's when you need to be your sharpest.  Are you not the former nanny to the Turnbulls?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::echos CIV:: XO: Yes, AQilla, what are you doing on your feet so close after your child's birth?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
XO: I will tell you about it later, but you need to be back in bed.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> CMO: Looks like the broken rib slivered and left some pieces to re-injure him.

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  Okay... ~~~ ::decides to 'try' to ignore what he smells, and tries to think of something else::

FCO_Vince says:
::having trouble focusing and keeping his mind clear now::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I'm fine, Sir.  Samuel is a good baby and I feel like I can return to duty.

TO_Lane says:
CTO: No, sir.  Nothing unusual, sensors appear to be clear.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CNS:  Please, Counselor, have a seat.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I am on my way to the bridge.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes his place at TAC station 1::

FCO_Vince says:
::tries to focus on his breathing again, and relaxing::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
TO:  I thought it was you.  I see you didn't quit.  Tyria tells me that she and S'Toran are quite proud of you.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> CMO: He's stabilizing Doctor.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: AQilla, you need some time off.  Bond with your baby for a while.  Everything will be fine up on the bridge.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Curtis: Good.  The whole is fixed.  I'm not finding anymore.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Leaves sickbay and heads for the bridge::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  By a thought, do you mean a mental image?

CSO_Ens_Jakiel says:
To herself:  Ahhh, a new baby on the ship.  I'll have to visit.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sopok> ::removes the last two bone fragments and sets them on the tray::

Host ADM_Taylor says:

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: If that is the thought you have...yes

TO_Lane says:
::looks back over the sensors to see if there are any changes... then blushes as she hears the Admiral's statement:: ADM: I made a promise to her, she went out on a limb to get me in.  After all, I had quit school, and my grades weren't the best.  But, since I had taken the initiative to finish my high school, she agreed to sponsor me.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::catches a glimpse of the CSO:: CSO:  Well, who do we have here?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sopok: Okay, close him up and watch him closely.  I don't want this to happen again.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sopok> CMO: Yes, Doctor.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Enters the Bridge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Good day, Commander.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CSO:  Welcome aboard, Ensign.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: He'll be fine, but I wouldn't interrogate for a little while.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Ensign, Cmdr. Horn is the executive officer on this ship.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  That is good, my love ~~~

CSO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Smiles at the XO:: XO: I'm Ariel Jakiel, the new CSO.  Glad to meet you..

FCO_Vince says:
::focusing on the infinite black void, filled with the light of millions of stars::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Good.  I wasn't going to interrogate at all.

FCO_Vince says:
::keeps breathing steadily::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  And I'm glad to meet you, too.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: Are the stars stationary?  They are still a bit blurry to me

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CTO: What’s the status up here?

CSO_Ens_Jakiel says:
XO:  Seems to be quite busy around here.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: You're dismissed.  Report to the bridge when you're settled.

TO_Lane says:
::looks surprised at the Admiral's statement and can feel her temper rise:: ADM: Like I said, I'm not a quitter.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CIV:  Ah!  Mister Horn!  Please, take over the center chair until your Commanding Officer returns.  I don't like his chair, I'm afraid.  Are congratulations in order yet?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: All seems to be quiet, Sir.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: nods to the CIV :: 

CSO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Nods to the captain:: CO:  Yessir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: A small bone fragment was missed and pierced his heart.  It will take time for his body to rebuild strength.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Just a normal day, Ensign.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
ADM: Thank you sir, yes they are in order.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Prognosis?

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  They seem stationary...

TO_Lane says:
::takes a deep breath then adds:: ADM:  And thank you, Sir, for your kind words.  ::trying to keep her temper under control::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Concentrate hard, make the stars clearer for me to see

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: All the damage is repaired, with some time he'll be fine.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CIV:  ::rises and extends hand::  I have three now myself.  The youngest is only three!

CSO_Ens_Jakiel says:
CO:  I can go to my quarters first, then?  I have something to take care of.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Breathing deeply, feeling completely relaxed ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Takes the ADM's hand::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Maybe he'll be fit before he is returned to Cardassia Prime.

FCO_Vince says:
::focuses on the stars in more detail, making them sharp points of distinct light::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Of course.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I believe so, yes Sir.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::raises eyebrow::  TO:  You've earned them.  Chances are you earned much more than that just by overcoming what you have to be here.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: stands up :: ALL: I will vacate my seat in the command deck as 3 is a crowd.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  Yes...that's it!  Much better, my love ~~~

CSO_Ens_Jakiel says:
XO: Must be very busy here, then.  CO: Thank you sir.  XO:  Well, I will see you on the bridge later.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Now, as for you, commander, you'd better get back to your quarters and take care of those kids of yours.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CNS:  No, no, Mister McDonald.  I wish to stand at any rate.

FCO_Vince says:
::breathing, relaxing, keeping focused on the stars::

OPS-Anari says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Just like this!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at bridge, I exit and see CIV is in the chair:: CIV: What's up?

OPS-Anari says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

Host ADM_Taylor says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  I'll take you up on your invitation.  Any one of them telling me a different story will pronounce your death sentence.  Gul Matraan is my brother.

CNS: Thanks.  COMM: Drunai: Then I should inform you that Matraan is in serious, but stable condition due to three broken ribs and a punctured heart due to a shockwave created by a subspace explosion.  Our doctors have repaired his bodily damages and expect a full recovery.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

:: Senses the sudden emergence of the FCO ::  FCO: You do need to NOT snap out of meditation like that, my love

TO_Lane says:
*Sec1* Good, Chief, keep them settled and as happy as possible.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: It seems his brother and friends are wanting to take them off our hands, so prepare a report for their doctors.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Watches Vince ::  FCO: Don't push it, my love...take your time with your eyes

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Aye sir.  I'll send it right away.

TO_Lane says:
CTO: Will do, but it may not be a bad idea to let them into the brig area so that they know that none of their precious crew are there.

FCO_Vince says:
::Pauses as he blinks, now seeing the love of his life before him::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: When it rains...

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: It pours

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: A very good idea, Ensign.  See to it.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses Vince's exhilaration ::   FCO: You can see me?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives on Deck 2, enters her quarters, settles Samuel in his crib and sits at her computer terminal::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
TO:  Officer thinking, Ensign.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sopok* Please send a copy of the entire medical file for  Gul Matraan to the ship we are currently communicating with.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Mentally puts out her lamp ::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  You're the most beautiful sight I've ever seen

TO_Lane says:
::stands and moves toward the lift:: *Sec2* Tams, Hardy, meet me in transport room 1.  ::nods as the lift doors close behind her::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CTO: I would like a couple of my staff with them as well if you don’t mind.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sopok> *CMO* Aye Ma'am. ::goes to the CMO's office to send the report::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Blushes at Vince's words ::

FCO_Vince says:
::blinking a little more::

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: I will volunteer to be ambassador and escort for our guests

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: As you wish, Sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Sure.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sopok> ::sends the report:: *CMO* Report is sent, shall I ready the patient for transport?

CNS_McDonald says:
:: nods to the CO:: CO: then if you'll excuse me. what TR are they coming into ?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Calls for Colt and Reminger to join the security detail for the Cardassians::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sopok* Yes, immediately.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: One

FCO_Vince says:
::holds his hands up in front of him, looking at them::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Reaches out, stroking his face, smiling ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Matraan is ready to go Sir.  Just let us know when.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: You may want the Doc to check them out...just be on the safe side

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: His brother, Drunai, will handle the transfer.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  They're still a bit sensitive and stiff, but I can see again.  ::smiling::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Cardassian CO and his Aides are beamed aboard...

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Anything that can possibly go wrong

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: very well I'm on my way. :: steps out of the command area and heads for TR1 :: steps into the TL :: TL: transporter room 1

FCO_Vince says:
::quickly jumps to his feet, grabs E'Laina, and lifts her up swinging her around, laughing whole heartedly::
