Epilogue
Host Gerry says:
After a pitched battle in the space around Avalon station, the relatively lucky and undamaged Scorpius is aiding the Starbase in repair efforts.  After 3 days, the ship is back to fighting trim, and no sign of the D'Vor or their alien dreadnaught has been registered.  The Ship is preparing to return to the patrol sector of the USS Sharikahr until it can return to active duty.  Medical Officer Ymrots has been suspended by the admiralty for gross incompetence in practice of medicine and has been transferred to Starbase authority for discipline.  A Court-martial has been decided against, opting instead for criminal prosecution and revocation of her license to practice medicine.  The Scorpius is getting back to what passes for normal...

CSO_Bodine says:
@AvCEO: I think my teams are just about wrapped up, anything else i can help you with while I am here to help?
AvXO_Horn says:
XO: Can they spare you long enough to walk back to the airlock?
OPS-Watson says:
*All personnel*: To all Scorpius personnel.  You are ordered to return and prepare for immediate departure...
CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: I'm just wondering if Dr. Ymrots' problems were reported before you agreed to take her on?
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: AvXO:  I think so.  CIV:  You have the bridge, Commander.  I will be escorting Cmdr Horn to the airlock.

CIV_Serok says:
OPS:  Can you clean this up any?
MO_Sybil says:

OPS-Watson says:
CIV: I've cleaned it up as best I can.  We are just too far out at the moment
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Then why are you here keeping me away from my patients?  With all due respect, this is the USS Scorpius, not the USS VanSickle.
CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: At least the admiralty intervened.
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
AvXO:  So, what brings you here?  ::grins::
AvXO_Horn says:
XO: You!
OPS-Watson says:

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: AvXO:  Don't worry I won't.  I have something to come here for, don't I?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

@AvXO: I will be there when I can sir.  We are still several days away from full repair completion.
SO_Zria says:
::continues working at the sensors trying to get a bead on what is out there::
MO_Sybil says:
::goes back to cleaning the diagnostic area: Computer: Ummm... computer delete previous log entry.
OPS-Watson says:
XO: However, I am getting a report, which shows an increase of Gorn activity over the last 72 hours.  The USS Clementine has gone missing with all hands.  Also...    :: Continues to read ::   ...some of the language is designated as Gorn on the comm traffic in my earpiece
AvXO_Horn says:
@*AvCEO*: That’s fine.
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  As I already asked.  TO/SO:  What do sensors say?
TO_Sadek says:
::frowns and calls up intelligence reports in the area::
SO_Zria says:
XO: Still showing the same reading, Commander.
TO_Sadek says:
XO: No new information at this distance Commander.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pulls out the med kit and begins checking and stocking each of them properly::
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  So we can confirm Gorn activity.
CO_VanSickle says:
XO: What is the Gorn doing in this area?
OPS-Watson says:
XO: According to the report I just received, sir
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Unclear, Sir.
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Is there any reason the Gorn would become active in this area after so long?
SO_Zria says:
::reroutes power from the science labs to sensors::
TO_Sadek says:
XO: Cestus III is part of the original disputed space with the Federation and the Gorn conglomerate.
CSO_Bodine says:
:: after he has put a new uniform on and cleaned up he heads back to the bridge ::
CO_VanSickle says:
XO/TO: Didn't the original Enterprise have a run in with some Gorn about 80 years ago?
TO_Sadek says:
XO: Commander.... intelligence reports show vague rumors of some kind of Gorn super weapon...  hearsay and unconfirmed reports nothing more.
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  They claimed the region around Cestus III as part of their territory.
CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Unknown Commander.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Listens more carefully to her earpiece... ::  XO: Sir!  The distress call is coming from the USS Typhoon!
CO_VanSickle says:
XO: And if i read my history books right, Capt. Kirk had a hand-to-hand battle with the Gorn commander.
TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: CO: A dispute that was solved by another species called the Metrons... most of the incident still remains classified today.
CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Although, data would suggest that there is currently no reasoning behind it.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Jeahnie: I need you and Curtis to start cleaning up the surgical bay please.  Helene will be in the maturity area.
CO_VanSickle says:
::hears the Typhoon's in trouble::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> CMO: Yes, Ma'am. ::takes Curtis and heads to work::
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  How long until we intercept?
OPS-Watson says:
:: Runs her fingers over her console ::   XO: 2.2 days.  We're running at maximum warp now.
CSO_Bodine says:
:: steps onto the bridge ::
CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Two-point-two days?  We'll be too late.
CSO_Bodine says:
XO: We're off s soon? Where is my shore leave?
OPS-Watson says:
CO: Sir, the system is 12 light years away, and we are the closest Federation ship
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Sorry, Lt. But distress calls take priority.  Take your station.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Hears her earpiece go silent.  Runs her fingers quickly over her console. ::
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  We need to increase speed...
OPS-Watson says:
CO/XO: The signal has stopped
CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Agreed.  OPS: Stopped?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pulls 2 dozen old fashioned cotton swabs out of one med kit:: Self: What was Star Fleet thinking... ::shakes her head::
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Can you pick up the Typhoon on sensors or are we too far away?
OPS-Watson says:
CO: Aye, sir...gone...
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Take us to 9.6 ... hold that speed for as long as possible.
CSO_Bodine says:
XO: Aren't we close to maximum warp already? :: worries about McKray, but takes his station ::
OPS-Watson says:
:: Increases speed to warp 9.6 ::   XO: 9.6, aye sir
CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Too bad we can only sustain that speed for 12 hours.
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I know ... Shame we don't have a wormhole or something...
TO_Sadek says:
XO: Scanning....   Indications are negative at this time.
CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Or Borg-like transwarp.
CSO_Bodine says:
<EO_McKray> attempts to keep the engine friction to a minimum to reduce heat caused by system stress::
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CSO/CIV:  Can we artificially generate a transwarp conduit or something that may get us there faster?
CO_VanSickle says:
All: Look, everyone, we're talking about Adm. Taylor's ship here.  He's a tough cookie, and he has ways of surviving this.
CSO_Bodine says:
XO: Let me see what was done to make that happen in the past. Just a moment commander while I access Star Fleet scientific archives.. :turns to the computer console and begins his research ::
CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send a message to Starfleet about the situation.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::continues to find strange things in the kits, pulls them all to the nearest biobed and starts working them over, one at a time::
TO_Sadek says:
::raises both eyebrows and looks to the CIV:: ~~~ CIV: I believe for once I am in agreement with the Captain. ~~~
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
MO: Well, anything I should be made aware of?
CSO_Bodine says:
XO: It's not the sable at this time, sorry commander.
OPS-Watson says:
CO: Aye, sir    :: Composes a message and then sends it to Starfleet regarding the situation ::
SO_Zria says:
::thinks about the first time that she met the Admiral and nods briefly:: Self:: He is a unique individual.
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO/CIV:  Then we have 1 day to come up with something ...
CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Hang on, Admiral.  The cavalry is coming.
CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow :: ~~~ TO:  How does the Admiral being a pastry have any bearing on weather or not he survives? ~~~
CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Commander, I am not an engineer or scientist, but I will give it my utmost attention.
XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*ENG*:  Bridge to Engineering.  We will be pushing the engines to the limit ... try to keep them together as best you can.
TO_Sadek says:
~~~ CIV: Once again my wife you have missed another Earth colloquialism it implies toughness of the character ~~~
