Interlude

"loose ends and loose lips"

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
The Tralfamdrite home world has been reached by evading and escaping from some pirates, but all the Tralframdites have been sent home safely, except for the young 
that the CEO and CO carry at this time.

Host Gerry says:
The CO and CEO in conjunction with Medical have come up with a gene replacement therapy that will allow their oxygen-breathing young to be turned into carbon-monoxide breathers like their mothers.

Host Gerry says:
The CNS has had his young transferred to a host male of the Tralfamdrite species because it was within 16 hours of his conception.

Host Gerry says:
The escort vessels and the Scorpius are once again in orbit of Tralfamdoor, the pirates being chased away for the time being.

OPS-Anari says:

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:

OPS-Anari says:

Dr_Morgenstern says:

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hears the CMO and turns towards her... ::   CMO: How is Giara doing?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Morgenstern*: I'm only allowing two members of the medical profession in this room right now.  Dr. Garta-Nmbarri and Cori.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: It feels different up here with the crew changes.  The Captain is doing well.  I'm certain he's anxious for this to be over.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

<Helene> Morgenstern: Can I help you Doctor?

::makes a minor adjustment to keep orbit stable... whispers:: OPS: Yeah, and from what I understand he was bragging about the whole deal in the lounge last night.  As it turns out the Counselor overheard him and he's in Dutch.

Dr_Morgenstern says:
CO:  Captain, I have a right to examine you.  And if I have to I'll go to over your head.

OPS-Anari says:

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:

Dr_Morgenstern says:

Dr_Morgenstern says:

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> *CO* Are you okay?

FCO_Lane says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Helene*: Cori?  Where you at?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Perhaps you could find Dr Morgenstern something to do ... preferably in Sickbay ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Morgenstern: Either you shut up or I'm sending you to the brig!

Dr_Morgenstern says:
CO:  And I'll see you court martialled!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Morgenstern: And I'll see you get disbarred, or whatever it is you doctors do.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Laughing a bit more... ::  FCO: While...seems like there is quite the galactic...   :: Searches for the words... ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: Give me 5 min...minutes.  She won't bo...bother you any more.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: Battle going on down there...   :: Grins ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Helene: Cori, I don't want you to get hurt, or kill anyone.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Morgenstern:  You can try.  You have disrupted this ship for the last time.  Either you fall into line or I will confine you to quarters for the remainder of the trip.  Do I make myself clear?  ::is angry now::

FCO_Lane says:
::raises an eyebrow:: OPS: Battle?  ::laughs:: now that is an image.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Morgenstern: Doctor, what are you doing in here?  I gave strict orders who is to be with the CO and CEO.  You were not on the list.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: Sure, ru...ruin my day. ::grunts::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Thank you, Doc.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: Something I don't understand in SOME humans...I guess

Dr_Morgenstern says:
CMO:  I have express orders from SFI for this.  Go on....go and check it out.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sighs:: Self: I've got four women fighting over me, and two of them are married.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Lets see what I can do...   :: Gets up and presses a few buttons on the OPS console... ::

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: Who is the Captain battling?  It's a funny thought, but doesn't make sense with him being pregnant.

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>:: Sees an in-coming message on the console... ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Morgenstern:  What does SFI have to do with this?   This is none of their business as far as I'm concerned.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: The Ambassador to Tralfamdor

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>:: Access the information and quickly reads it... ::

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: What does it say?  I thought we had taken care of everything there.

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>: OPS: Commander...you may want to see this...   :: Sends the information to the center chair ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moves back to the center chair, presses a button and reads the message... ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri_ says:
Morgenstern: I will.  And until those orders are verified, you will report to sickbay.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Morgenstern:  And for now you will stay there until I say otherwise.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Morgenstern: And stay the hell away from me!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Grins to self trying to suppress a giggle ::   *CO*: Anari to Captain VanSickle...

Dr_Morgenstern says:
CMO:  Very well Doctor.  ::looks at the Captain :: CO:  I will be back....you can count on that Captain.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears the comm:: Self: Now what?  *OPS*: What is it?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::turns to Eric:: CO: She will, if I have to put sec...secur...security on her.

FCO_Lane says:
::watches E'Laina curiously::

Dr_Morgenstern says:
:: turns and heads for sickbay ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: It looks like I have a call to make.  I'll let you know when I have an answer.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Helene: I may have to ask SJAG for a restraining order on her.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Thank you, Doctor.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: I'll re...restrain her.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves out of the CO's quarters to her own::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses the CO's irritation and says gently... ::   *CO*: Sir...a message from Starfleet command has just arrived...it says you are obligated to follow the orders of our Tralfamdrite Ambassador.  You are not to unbalance the scales of diplomatic relations...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Thanks for the help, AQilla.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles at the FCO ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, I'll have Security keep an eye on her.  If she so much as comes anywhere near your quarters she will be escorted away.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Jeahnie* Doctor Morgenstern is heading there.  Keep her busy.  If she tries to leave, strap her to a bed and sedate her.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: Tralfamdrite Ambassador?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::suddenly it comes to her:: *OPS*:  Morgenstern is the Tralfamdrite Ambassador?

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*: Aye sir...that is Dr. Morgenstern

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> *CMO* She after another married man?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Jeahnie* Nope, the CO.  Nmbarri out.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters her quarters and moved straight to her console::

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: Aye ma'am

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: Say what?  Get me Adm. Taylor on the horn, NOW!

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*: Aye sir...   :: Looks at Starsha ::   FCO: See what I mean?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*OPS* I need a line to SFI please.

FCO_Lane says:
::thinks, now I see what she's saying...  begins giggling again::  OPS: This is too rich.

OPS-Anari says:
*CMO*:  Yes ma'am

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Oh this I have to see.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS:  I see what you're talking about and after what happened on the bridge a couple weeks ago...  that has to be good.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/Helene: I don't want to go through all this in my condition.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Tries to suppress a giggle ::  Harper: Get Admiral Taylor on subspace, then contact Starfleet Intelligence for the doctor.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: This does not mean she con...controls the ship does it?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Helene: I hope not.

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>: Aye...    :: Runs his fingers over the console, opening a channel and sees... ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks up at the screen and sees the Admiral ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO: This just gets better and better ...

FCO_Lane says:
::shakes her head still giggling:: Self: This is good... this is really good.

OPS-Anari says:
Harper: That was quick, Morgan...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM:  Scorpius:  All:  you rang?  ::raised eyebrow and a very put-off expression::

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper> OPS: I just opened the channel, ma'am...   :: Bewildered ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: How long before we get Taylor on my screen in my quarters?

FCO_Lane says:
::double checks the information on her console and makes a few corrections::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits at the console, waiting for the comm to SFI, knowing it can take a few minutes::

OPS-Anari says:
COMM: Taylor: Admiral...my apologies, sir.  However, Captain VanSickle is...   :: Gently ::  ...requesting I contact you.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sits at desk and waits for Adm. Taylor to appear on console::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM: Scorpius:  Oh is he.  OPS:  Put me through.

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*: Patience, Captain...we're working as fast as we can...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::pulls up a chair and sits at the CO's side::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::moves behind Eric, placing a hand gently on the back of his neck::

OPS-Anari says:
COMM: Taylor: I have also a request for our CMO to be place in contact with SFI.  Do you wish to handle that call to, sir?

FCO_Lane says:
::overhears the CO's message and wonders when the Admiralty started hopping to Captain's requests::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to stew::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees the transmission fuzz out a bit... ::   Harper: Sharpen that communication...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO: Patience, Captain ...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM:  Scorpius:  OPS: Why not?  I'll give you a two-for-one deal.  Split screen if you please.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: Rest, high e...emotions are not good for the kids.

OPS-Anari says:
COMM: Taylor:  Aye sir...    :: Looks at Harper and nods ::

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>:: Sends the signal to the CO and CMO jointly, splitting the screens ::

FCO_Lane says:
::bites her bottom lip as she listens to what is going on::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees her screen come on with the CO's face and ADM Taylor's::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  Taylor appears on the screen in both the CO's quarters and the CMO's quarters...

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*: Admiral Taylor is on your screen, sir

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sees Taylor appear on screen, along with CMO:: COMM: Taylor: Admiral, sorry for the abrupt comm, but how did Dr. Morgenstern get to be an ambassador?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
COMM: ADM: Admiral Taylor?  I was expecting SFI.

OPS-Anari says:
*CMO*: Admiral Taylor is on your screen, ma'am

Dr_Morgenstern says:
Dr Jeahnie:  Look, all I need are a few scans.  Tell that little girl friend of his she can stay...I don't care, I'm just trying to do my job.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moves back to the center chair... ::  FCO: See what I mean?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM: Scorpius: ALL:  She applied for the position via subspace and was granted the permission since she was on scene.  Now what exactly is the problem?  I have a diplomatic nightmare of my own at the moment, and I assure you its much worse than yours.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> Morgenstern: If you want scans, you could have asked.  We are scanning the CO and the CEO every 4 hours.  The last ones were done less than an hour ago. ::moves to a console:: Here, I'll get them for you.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  If I may, Admiral ...

FCO_Lane says:
::stretches a bit and adjusts the way she is sitting:: OPS: Oh yeah, definitely.  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::turns back to XO::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: It really sucks sometimes to be empathic...   :: Sighs ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM: Scorpius: XO:  Oh please do. ::annoyed::  <make it quick, I'm in the middle of a crisis> ::spoken in Romulan::

Dr_Morgenstern says:
Dr Jeahnie:  I had to run the scans myself.  I didn't ask because I had my orders.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::waits for the XO before making her comments regarding Morgenstern::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  To be honest, the woman is a pain in the neck!  She has done nothing since coming aboard but disrupt the routine of this crew.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  <in Romulan> Crisis, Sir?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> Morgenstern: Orders from where?

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: I've never thought about it, but I can see what you mean.  Something’s would be fun, but then again, to get all of this would have to be rough.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: Do you have any way that you can shut it out?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM:  Scorpius:  XO:  I am acquainted with Dr. Morgenstern, Commander.  <in Romulan> I'll tell you when I see you.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: Taylor: <in Romulan> Yes, Sir.  <back in English> So what do I do with Morgenstern in the meantime?  I'm that close to having her confined.

Dr_Morgenstern says:
Dr Jeahnie:  I have been named Ambassador for the Tralfamdrite.  My orders are from SFI.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> Morgenstern: Starfleet doesn't trust the medical staff of the Scorpius now, is that it?  You are here to come to the rescue?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles ::   FCO: Yes...I can ask for an inhibitor...but I would be overloaded again when it's removed.  That's why I use the Vulcan meditation lamp...it helps me maintain control

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Taylor: Admiral, Dr. Morgenstern was supposed to be just a passenger on our voyage to Tau Ceti IV, now she's the Federation's ambassador to Tralfamdor?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM: Scorpius: ALL:  Give her access for a single set of scans and be done with the woman.  Transfer her to the Rapier, which will be remaining.  You had to call me to solve this?  Really, I expected more.  CO:  Were you not listening?  I SAID she applied by subspace and was given the duty.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> *CMO* FYI, Doctor, Morgenstern needs scans of the CO because our scans must not meet Starfleet standards.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
COMM: ADM: We are scanning every 4 hours.  What is it that my staff isn't doing well enough?  She could use our scans, Sir.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: It's good that you have at least some form of outlet like the meditation.  I think I would go mad if I always had other voices and things in my head like that.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears CMO's statement, but adds...:: COMM: Taylor: I agree with the doctor.  We should give her the scans from the medical staff and get her off my ship.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
COMM: ADM: I am sending reports every week to SF Medical on their progress.  Suddenly, we need an extra hand?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles at the FCO ::  FCO: I've lived with this for a very long time...you get used to it.   :: Shrugs ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COMM:  Scorpius:  ALL:  Allow Morgenstern Access to scan once.  She has something she needs to collect with some specialized equipment.  Now leave it off and that's an order!  <in Romulan> Warn your Tactical department that the Warbird arriving is me.>  ::cuts transmission::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::grunts and wonders when her staff became so low in the eyes of Star Fleet Command::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: She can scan, but she touches you and I'll flatten her.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: How's our status?
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, the Admiral said to expect a Warbird very shortly.  The Admiral himself will be on-board.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO*: Captain, we need to talk.

FCO_Lane says:
::nods:: OPS: I guess it would either be that or go insane.  Personally I would prefer getting used to it.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  There is an ion surge detected directly in front of the Scorpius...

FCO_Lane says:
::looks at the readings from her console:: OPS: Orbit holding, no sign of the pirates at the moment.

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>:: OPS: Ion surge detected dead ahead, ma'am...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leaves her quarters and heads back to the Captain's::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Helene: I don't want you to get into trouble, now that that whatchamacallit is an ambassador.  *CMO*: We will, in sickbay.

OPS-Anari says:
All: Red alert!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Horn to Bridge.  Has a Romulan Warbird arrived yet?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  A Romulan Warbird, weapons powered but shields down, uncloaks facing the Scorpius...

FCO_Lane says:
::starts:: OPS: I'm reading an ion surge no.

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: We have a Romulan warbird that just decloak dead ahead, ma'am...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/Helene: We'd best get to sickbay.

FCO_Lane says:
::hands fly over her console bringing all systems ready for evasives and hunting eventual escape::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  I'm on my way.  The Warbird is no threat, Commander.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Stands in preparation for a show down ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: I'll re...resign be...before I let her have the sat...satis...satisfaction.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Jeahnie* Tell Morgenstern to have her equipment ready.  The Captain is coming for scans, but scans only.  She had 10 minutes.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, with your permission, I will return to the bridge.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the TL::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> Morgenstern: You heard her.  You'll have 10 minutes.  I suggest you stick just to the scans.  The CMO has been edgy lately.

OPS-Anari says:

FCO_Lane says:
::taps a few buttons and puts everything on standby as she activates yellow alert:: OPS: Done

Host Vulcan_Captain says:
<Morgenstern>  Jeahnie:  Of course.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::exits quarters, with Helene and CMO in tow::

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>: It's a message from Admiral Taylor requesting we lower shields so he and a visitor can beam over...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the bridge and heads for the big chair::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO/Harper: Do it

FCO_Lane says:
::lowers shields::  OPS: Shields down

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the whine of a Romulan Transporter is heard and two figures materialize at the front of the bridge...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Sickbay.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::stands waiting for the Admiral to rematerialize::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: If there is other equipment this woman has, why wasn't I informed about it?  We could have used it to care for you and Bodine this whole time.

FCO_Lane says:
::starts when she sees the two figures appear::

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: Commander, we've cancelled red alert.    :: Sees the Admiral appear ::     Admiral Taylor and a visitor have just transported to the bridge

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS: I am here, Commander ::grins::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves down to the Command area::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  As you were.  XO:  I take it you're acting as CO while your Captain is off duty?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Turns around surprised... ::  XO: I didn't hear the turbolift...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Admiral:  I am, Sir.

Host Vulcan_Captain says:
:: stands next to Admiral Taylor ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the Vulcan::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO: <in Romulan> I need to speak with you privately immediately.  

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::places her hand on Eric's back as they walk to sickbay::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moves to main OPS relinquishing the center chair to the XO ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: That is a good question.  ::TL stops and we head to sickbay::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
<in Romulan> Adm:  The ready room, Sir?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  ::nods and motions for her to lead the way::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::motions towards the Ready Room::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses urgency from the Admiral and guest ::

FCO_Lane says:
::tries to concentrate on her duties while glancing over her shoulder at the visitors as them move to the ready room with the XO::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the RR and takes a seat in the CO's chair::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::enters sickbay, sees Dr. Jeahnie and Dr. Morgenstern, stares daggers at the latter::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Stands and resumes bridge command... ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::waits for the doors to close::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::motions for her guests to be seated::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: Bed 1

Vulcan_Captain says:
<Morgenstern>  If you will have a seat on the biobed Captain, I'll do my scans and be out of here.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Morgenstern: 10 minutes Doctor.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  I'll come to the point, Commander.  I need to hide this person for a while.  There has been...an incident...of dangerous proportions.

Vulcan_Captain says:
:: follows Taylor ::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO/Harper: Nice work people...    :: Smiles at them both ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Morgenstern: I'd rather it'd be the latter... ::has seat on biobed::

Vulcan_Captain says:
<Morgenstern>  CMO:  Of course Doctor.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: At least it turned out to be friendlies...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::helps Eric on the biobed and stands near him::

Vulcan_Captain says:
<Morgenstern>  :: begins running the scans ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles ::  FCO: I can't agree with you more!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Morgenstern: So, I hear you got promoted.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  What sort of incident, Sir.  If I agree to hide this person I need to know what to expect.  I'm assuming this has something to do with the Romulans?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*OPS* I need a security officer to sickbay.  Doctor Morgenstern will need help getting her things to the transporter room.  She'll be leaving us.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: After dealing with the pirates, the last thing that I wanted to see was another hostile.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  ::turning green with fury::  I did not ask you to AGREE!!!!!

OPS-Anari says:
*CMO*: Understood, Doctor...   :: Nods to Harper ::   FCO: Me too, Starsha

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Commander, forgive me.  This has been a wearing trial.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::remains calm:: Taylor:  No problem, Sir.  Would you care to introduce me?

Vulcan_Captain says:
<Morgenstern >  CO:  I did Captain.  :: finishes the scans ::  There you are.  Now I can go and so can you.

OPS-Anari says:
<Harper>:: Fingers fly over console as a request is sent to tactical ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::watches Morgenstern and  her equipment carefully, anger growing more by the minute::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  This ::indicating the hooded figure:: is Adm...CAPTAIN Suvok Serok.

FCO_Lane says:
::stretches again after making a few adjustments::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: Serok:  Captain.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::under breath:: Morgenstern: Don't let the airlock hit you in the butt on your way out.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Are you familiar with the Vulcan Marriage bond, Commander?

Captain_Serok says:
:: slowly looks up ::  XO:  Commander.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  I have heard about it, yes.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes a deep breath in and sighs big...sensing a cloak and dagger at work... ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Do you know what happens when it is suddenly broken?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  I understand it is very difficult for the partner who remains.  But I do not know the intricacies of it.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Morgenstern: Security will deliver your things to the transporter room, you can walk straight there.

FCO_Lane says:
::glances at the ready room doors... thinking they looked really serious when then went in... wonder what's going on::

Captain_Serok says:
<Morgenstern >  CMO:  Very well Doctor.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses Starsha's curiosity... ::  FCO: I think we have a type of cloak and dagger going on here

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves to the CO:: CO: You need to rest.

Captain_Serok says:
<Morgenstern >  :: leaves ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  All I can tell you at this time is that hers was suddenly broken...and she...well, she killed several people.  Members of the Romulan Senate and Tal Shiar actually...due to the state of temporary insanity it caused.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: Take him back to his quarters.  I want nobody in there but you two and Sammy for a couple of hours at least, okay?

FCO_Lane says:
::blushes slightly:: OPS: Thanks, I wasn't going to ask, but I can't help but wonder.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::chuckles:: CMO: I was resting when that, with a lack of a better term, woman rang my bell.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  The Romulans want her blood at the moment, and well, we need to calm things down a whole bunch before we can do that.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Oh I see ... the Romulans will not be pleased.  Now I see your difficulty.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles ::  FCO: That's okay...Vince and I would talk mentally to each other. I could always sense him

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  The people onboard can know who she is.  But no one from the Romulan Government can find out.  And now there is an added difficulty...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I know.  But you've had enough emotions the past hour to last days.  Go and rest.  With her gone, nothing should bother you, hopefully.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: Taylor:  And I know what it's like to be hunted by the Tal Shiar.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: That would be comforting, to be able to talk privately to the person you care about even around others. 

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses there is great danger to the visitor... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: And now, I don't have to worry about her trying to tear me away from Cori. ::looks at Helene and takes her hand::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  It concerns your next assignment, actually...I'm placing the Scorpius on detached duty to the Romulan Fleet to assist in hunting down some pirates that have been plaguing this region of space recently.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks at the FCO ::  FCO: Yes...very much so.  :: Smiles at little at FCO ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: Taylor:  We have to travel through Romulan space to return to Federation territory ... and we will have a Romulan escort ... This could get tricky.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: No one will take you a...away from me.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::smiles at the comment and gives her a quick kiss:: CMO/Helene: Well, I guess I'd best get back to bed.

FCO_Lane says:
::smiles softly:: OPS: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up tender memories.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Indeed.  For all our sakes, Commander...no one can know.  I need you to handle this while I attempt to smooth this out with the Romulans...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: I'll take you.  ::wraps her arm around his waist:: Come on.

Captain_Serok says:
:: stares blankly at nothing in front of her ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: Taylor:  We will do all we can, Admiral.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::exits sickbay with Helene::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Grins ::  FCO: Don't worry...they are good memories

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  I believe Commander Anari could be of assistance.

FCO_Lane says:
::smiles:: OPS: I'm glad of that.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Jeahnie: I'm going back to the bridge.  I want to know what's going on.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits sickbay::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  And she's not quite herself yet.  You'll want her to sit with your CNS I suspect.  <in Romulan>  One to transport!  ::vanishes::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
