USS Scorpius - NCC 50666 – 10512.03

"Prelude to Fury"

Episode 1:  "Signs and Wonders"

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

It has been 48 hours since an intermittent and repeating pattern was detected first on one planet then another of the Da`Rcana system, where there are three class-M planets.

The Scorpius has heard nothing from anything and has detected no signs of life for the last 48 hours, and the signal, for the present, is silent.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Storms out of the turbolift, and plops himself into the seat next to the captains::

CSO_Lewis says:
::at her station on the bridge::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees the XO's mood and decides she likes living too much to annoy him today::

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks up when the XO come on deck and raises her eyebrow ::

CNS_Rand says:
::in her office, meditating::

CEO_B`Renak says:
::sitting at her station monitoring the engineering systems::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Notifies the OPS officer that if any messages arrive for him, he is to be informed immediately, regardless of the situation at hand::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Report.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Still nothing at this time Captain.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: I have a missing child. ::Grumbles something under his breath, then looks away::

CTO_Horn says:
::Arrives on the bridge looking very unhappy::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the XO:: XO:  What?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Pel Tor's shuttle never arrived at Ullia.  There are search parties looking for it.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CO: Engineering is 100% ready sir.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  If you need some time to go look for him I'll grant you leave.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Relaxes slightly for a moment:: CO: Thank you, Ma'am.  I will keep you posted.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Goes back to being stiff and grumpy::

CNS_Rand says:
::takes a deep breath, stands up and begins to pace::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  But for now we have a mystery on our hands ...

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I need to speak with you privately.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Can it wait?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I have looked at the reports about the warbird.  Have we found anymore information about it?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: It is urgent ship business.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  No, and that's the strange thing.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Raises his voice a bit:: CO: I dislike Romulans,  they cannot be trusted!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I take it  you don't include me in that statement, Commander?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::realizes what he just said, and backs down a bit:: CO: present company excluded, of course.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::raises an eyebrow at the mention of Romulans::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  You want to know something ... I don't trust them either ... and I'm one of them.  Can you take the bridge for a moment, Commander?

ACTION:  a weak, repeating signal can be detected from the 5th planet out from the Star...the furthest of the Class-M planets.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Of course, Ma'am.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  My ready room.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CO: Sir I hate to tell you but I am also part Romulan as well and I don't like them much either.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes the center chair::

CTO_Horn says:
::Follows the CO::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the RR and takes a seat:: CTO:  I take it this is important.  ::signals for him to sit::

CEO_B`Renak says:
::eyes never leave the engineering board::

CTO_Horn says:
::Hand the CO a PADD and takes a seat:: CO: Yes it is.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CSO: Did you ever get a clear reading of that what ever it was we saw?

CSO_Lewis says:
::watches her station and listens to those on the bridge::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: what is the latest on that energy signal that we are supposed to be looking for?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  What's this?  ::looks at the PADD::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: That is a full report of the incident in the gym

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I have done everything except speak to the counselor.

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks at the repeating signal and checks to see if there are any life signs ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO:  I already know about the gym.  And I think I know who was responsible and why.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I am having some serious doubts about T'Loks ability to perform his duties at this time.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Impatiently waits for anyone to reply::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I have already offered him leave to sort this out.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I know he is under some very serious strains, and I can’t say I blame him for lashing out like that.

CEO_B`Renak says:
XO: I am trying to cross reference it to see if I can get a match for anything that remotely looks like a cloaked ship.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: But that should also be cause for concern.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Someone once said to me it's better to get it out than keep it in.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I thought you might want to be present when I spoke with Rand..

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Are we still detecting the signal?

CEO_B`Renak says:
XO: Yes we are according to the scanners.

CSO_Lewis says:
XO: I'm getting a weak repeating signal from the 5th planet. 

CIV_Serok says:
:: On the off chance that there may be other life signs, programs the computer to scan all planets in the area and look for not only carbon based life but any signs of life ::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I am just making you aware of things so you can keep a close eye out just in case.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Captain, sensors are receiving a weak signal from the 5th planet out from the closest star.  Would you like us to investigate?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I would.  But for now we have something else to worry about.   I'll keep an eye on T'Lok.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Please do so, Commander.  I'll be there in a minute.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Orders the ship to alter course towards the 5th planet::

CEO_B`Renak says:
::continues to cross reference and is trying to find a common event or something to work with::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Shall we?

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Commander, I have scanned the entire system for life signs, and have not detected any yet.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: After you.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets up and heads for the bridge::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: As we get closer to that planet, please observe the signal, and inform me or the captain if even the slightest change occurs.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: You know I really love watching you go.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  I would suggest a repeating pattern sweep due to the nature of the current situation.

CTO_Horn says:
::Follows the CO to the bridge::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Good work, captain.  I concur.  Please see to that.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: CTO:  I bet you do ...  XO:  Report, Commander.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Acknowledged Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: We have set course for the 5th planet.  I have ordered the bridge crew to inform us if anything, even very slight, changes.  Captain Serok is setting up a repeating pattern sweep due to the nature of the current situation.

CIV_Serok says:
:: begins to program a sweeping pattern to detect life in the system, to repeat every 2.3 minutes ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Any signs of life?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Nothing as of this time.

CNS_Rand says:
::stretches and moves out into the corridor, walks slowly to the lift:: 

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Then who is emitting this signal?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Any signs of vessels in the area?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Some what snappy:: CO: How should I know?

CNS_Rand says:
::steps onboard when it arrives:: Computer: Bridge

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I also suggest setting up a tachyon scan as well.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::corrects a minor flux in one of the plasma relay capacitors::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Commander that is enough!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Do it.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: All cloaking devices we are aware of have tachyon emissions

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks perplexed at the captain:: CO: Enough of what, ma'am?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  My ready room, now!

CIV_Serok says:
:: turns and looks at the XO wondering when he was going to be sent off the bridge ::

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: Might want to add a neutrino scan to that as well.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: You never know.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Captain, you have the bridge.  Inform me immediately if anything changes.

CSO_Lewis says:
CO: I'm getting a fix on the signal ... it's in the middle of the southern ice field near the pole.

CNS_Rand says:
::Steps off the lift and looks around, then moves to her chair on the command platform::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Dejected:: CO: Yes, Ma'am.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Moves from her station to the center seat ::

CTO_Horn says:
CEO: That is a good idea. Better safe than sorry.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters her RR and waits for the XO::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Walks towards the ready room, and enters after the CO::

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: Exactly my thoughts.  ::smiles::

CTO_Horn says:
::Watches the CO and XO head into the ready room::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Ok, T'Lok.  What is going on?

CEO_B`Renak says:
Self: This is going to hit the fan.

CIV_Serok says:
CSO:  What can you tell me about the signal other than its location.  What frequency is it transmitting on?  What is the repeat cycle duration?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I just can't seem to focus myself.  I feel anger, and frustration.  I also feel fear...that if I attempt to alleviate that anger.... ::trails off slightly:: I don't want a repeat of the gym situation.

CNS_Rand says:
::glances at the ready room doors, then around the bridge again::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I understand things are difficult for you right now.  But you cannot let that interfere with your duties.  Lives depend on it.  Am I clear?

CNS_Rand says:
CIV: What kind of signal are we picking up?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks up, about to respond to the captain, then feels something else inside him building up:: CO: That is....is...  ma'am, I have to get out of this room, off the bridge, now!

CSO_Lewis says:
CIV: It's a cylindrical object about 2 meters long and a meter wide.  It seems to be absorbing all other attempts to scan.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::monitors her console and continues to attempt to find something worth while on the intermittent signal::

CSO_Lewis says:
CIV: The cycle duration is 1.6 minutes.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Stay where you are, Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Without waiting to be dismissed, bolts for the door, exits the ready room, and practically jumps into a turbolift::

CEO_B`Renak says:
::doesn't look at the commotion but feels the anger::

CIV_Serok says:
CNS:  It appears to be a repeating signal and now it is absorbing our attempts to scan it.

CTO_Horn says:
::Sees T'lok moving like Targ being chased by a Klingon hunting party::

CEO_B`Renak says:
Self: This is not a good sign.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the RR:: CNS:  Counselor, I think you'd better follow him ...

CTO_Horn says:
::Runs to the RR::

CNS_Rand says:
::sees movement out of the corner of her eye and looks toward the lift doors to see them closing on the XO...turns her attention back to Captain Serok::

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  Captain, we appear to have an object 2 meters in length.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Once the doors to the lift close, he contacts the CO:: *CO* I couldn't stay in there with you.  In all the confusion, I forgot to get my latest inoculation.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Are you ok? What happened?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Orders the lift to the last place on the ship he wants to go...sickbay::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CO: Yes, Ma'am.  ::moves quickly to the lift and waits for another to arrive::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: CTO:  I'm fine.  Nothing happened.  He just forgot to take his shot, that's all.

CIV_Serok says:
CO: The object is absorbing all our attempts to further scan it.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::hands move smoothly over the console making sure the engines are balanced and the shields and weapons the sensor systems are functioning at 100%::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Can we get a visual on it?

CSO_Lewis says:
::concentrates on the information at her station and not the commotion behind her::

CNS_Rand says:
::steps onto the lift as the doors open:: Computer: Proceed to the last requested destination of the Executive Officer.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  I will attempt to do so Captain.  :: Moves to the OPS console ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  As soon as you get visual let's see it.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  I can get one.  :: pushes a few more buttons :: on screen Captain.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Exits the lift, and heads for sickbay.  Once there, he politely asks for the inoculation:: MO: Inoculate me, now!

CNS_Rand says:
::exits the lift near sickbay and walks toward the main bay::  XO: Are you alright, Commander?

ACTION:  A Black cylinder can be seen from overhead, sitting in the middle of a windswept ice field...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Jumps at the sound of the CNS behind him, whips around nearly snarling:: CNS: Do not sneak up on me like that!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Look familiar to you?

CNS_Rand says:
::nods at the MO and prepares the inoculation:: MO/XO: I'll take care of it.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::just out of curiosity she turns and looks at the view screen::

CEO_B`Renak says:
Self: What in the blue is that?

CNS_Rand says:
XO: If you consider simply walking through the bay doors, then my apologies.

CSO_Lewis says:
::glances up at the view screen as the object is seen::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes a step backwards, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath:: CNS: I am sorry, counselor.  I guess I am a bit tense.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: You're under a lot of stress, tension is quite understandable.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CO: Sir might I ask what the blazes is that?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: But, it is getting in the way of my duties.  It's also becoming dangerous to other crew members, specifically the captain.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Looks at the screen ::  CO:  I do not recall ever seeing it.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  You got me ... want to go take a look?

CEO_B`Renak says:
CO: Love to.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  What do you think ...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Scan the region around the object, Ensign.  Any sign of anything dangerous down there?

CEO_B`Renak says:
CO/CIV: Curious looking thing?  What is it composed of?

CIV_Serok says:
:: shakes her head :: CO:  I do not have a basis on which to form an opinion one way or another Captain.  I would require further inspection.

CNS_Rand says:
::loads the hypo spray and is ready to administer it:: XO: You have to release the tension or find a way to deal with it.  ::places the hypo spray on the Exec's neck:: 

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Agreed.  Form an away team to go take a look.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Have you been continuing the meditations that I suggested?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I try to meditate, but I just can't relax.  And, I might remind you of the last time I attempted to release tension.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Acknowledged Captain.  :: Looks around the bridge :: CSO/CTO/CEO:  Mister Horn, Mister Lewis and Mister B'Renak, with me please.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CIV: Understood sir.  Computer: Close engineering station bridge B'Renak CEO.

CSO_Lewis says:
::runs the requested scan::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Report in every 10 minutes, Captain.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::gets up and follows the CIV to the TL::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: CIV:  And Captain, have fun down there ...

CSO_Lewis says:
CIV: Yes Sir ::follows the CIV:;

CNS_Rand says:
::rubs her shoulder and smiles:: XO: You don't have to remind me.  There are other ways to relax.  You might try dance, sculpting, or some other hobby.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::taps her combadge:: *Engineering*: Make sure you have your duties and shifts right.  I am going on a little trip.

CIV_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow ::  CO:  I am incapable of "having fun" Captain.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  We'll see ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: And, forgetting this inoculation is a grievous error on my part, especially since it was just the captain and me in the ready room.  Had I not realized my mistake, things would have gotten very ugly.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Perhaps even scheduling extra time on the holodeck, using the various exercise programs.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CIV: Well sir then I can have double the fun sir. ::smiles::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Indeed Captain.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks down at the CNS:: CNS: Can you program me a gym on the holodeck?

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: XO: I understand all too well about missing inoculations and how they can affect you.

CIV_Serok says:
:: picks the PADD up from her station and downloads the information on the place they are to beam down ::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: XO: Yes, we could program a gym, or about anything else you would like.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO/CSO/CEO:  I suggest we use environmental suits.  It is currently -180 degrees Celsius.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I need to release the Klingon emotions inside of me.  Something that would require me to exert massive amounts of physical energy would be required.  Do you think the holodeck could handle me?

CNS_Rand says:
XO: In fact I know of about a half dozen gym simulations.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CIV: Kind of cold indeed.

CTO_Horn says:
CEO/CSO: Shall we go skiing?

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: You are asking or telling.  I haven't skied in years.

CSO_Lewis says:
CTO: I don't think so Sir.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  It would be unadvisable to ski in such extreme conditions.

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: I would ask you Captain but I believe skiing would be construed as fun and as you said you do not have fun.

CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: XO: Yes, there should be no problem there.  And to release Klingon emotions, maybe you would want to use one of the Klingon exercise programs.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO/CNS*:  Commander, if you're up to it, I could use  your assistance on the bridge.

CIV_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow at the CTO ::

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Do you feel more in control now?

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: You pack your skies??  I did.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Yes.  I have relaxed, now that I got that hypo.  But, duty calls.  I will use the holodeck as soon as my shift is over.

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: I may get a smile out you eventually.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CIV: Sometimes it is better to be prepared for such circumstances.  Ice planet, cold, snow, can make for hazardous travel.

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: *CO* we’re on our way up.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  That is highly unlikely.

CNS_Rand says:
::motions to the door:: XO: I'll accompany you, Sir.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: After you, counselor. ::Points towards the door. 

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: Unlikely, but not impossible.

CIV_Serok says:
CEO:  That is why I suggest the environmental suits Mister B'Renak.

CNS_Rand says:
::leads the way to the lift and walks through the opening doors::

CEO_B`Renak says:
CIV: Environmental suit???  You mean the Eskimo suit.  ::smiles at the CTO::

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I am physically capable if that is your meaning Mister Horn.

CIV_Serok says:
:: taps her combadge and requests 4 enviro suits to be waiting at the transporter area ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I don't know if I told you what’s bothering me today.  Pel Tor's shuttle never arrived on Ullia.  They sent out a search team looking for it, but there has been no word yet.  Also, I tried to send Jenise a message on Bajor, to let her know as well, but she seems to have gone missing as well.

CIV_Serok says:
CEO:  No, I do not mean Eskimo suit.  If I had meant it, I would have said it.  An Eskimo suit would not be proper for this extreme.

CTO_Horn says:
CEO: All I know is it cold down there.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::continues scanning for a cloaked vessel ... she just knows one is out there somewhere ... ::

CSO_Lewis says:
All: I'm going to turn into a human ice-cube.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::laughs:: CTO: I guess the Captain does not have a humor streak at all.

CTO_Horn says:
CEO: She does. She just doesn’t know it yet.

CIV_Serok says:
CSO:  The probability of you freezing in the environmental suit is 7653.9 to 1.

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: never tell me the odds.

CSO_Lewis says:
CIV: I'll be that one?

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I did not tell you the odds Mister Horn, I was speaking to ENS Lewis.

CIV_Serok says:
CSO:  No, you will not.  We will not allow it.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Feels the lift stop as it arrives at the bridge, then motions for the CNS to exit before he does::

CEO_B`Renak says:
::can't stop laughing at this point::

CSO_Lewis says:
::chuckles:: CIV: Thank you Sir.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: You know this Away mission is going to be fun.

CIV_Serok says:
CSO:  You are welcome.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: Interesting and challenging and in some ways fun.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CSO: You about ready??

CIV_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow yet again and decides that during this away mission, her eyebrow was often going to be almost up to her hair line ::

CTO_Horn says:
CEO: Only if you really enjoy extreme sub zero weather and hundreds of feet of snow.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::puts on the EVA suit::

CNS_Rand says:
XO: We'll talk more later.  But I understand more now ::feels shock from the news::

CSO_Lewis says:
CEO: As ready as I am going to be :: gets into the EVA suit::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: What’s the situation, ma'am?

CIV_Serok says:
:: exits the lift and walks towards the environmental suits and begins to get into one ::

CTO_Horn says:
::Puts on his suit and places his weapons strategically::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  What's the hold-up Captain?  I'd have thought you'd have beamed down already.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::picks up her snow backpack and realizes that the tip of her bat`leth is sticking out and pushes it back in::

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: I am ready to go.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  That.  ::points to the object on-screen::  We're sending a team down to get a closer look.

CEO_B`Renak says:
CIV: Ready sir.

CSO_Lewis says:
CIV: Ready here Sir.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the screen:: CO: Looks rather cold down there.  Should I alert sickbay to be ready for possible frostbite situations?

CEO_B`Renak says:
::hefts the pack and picks up the skies and poles::

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  We have to use environmental suits Captain .

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Their EV suits should protect them, but yes put sickbay on standby, just in case.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::testing out the balance and is satisfied::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Understood.  Be careful down there.

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  We are prepared now.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Notifies sickbay to be ready with frost bite protocols in case the away team has any problems::

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  Understood Captain

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Serok, remember, have fun.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* Commander, bring me back a snowball if you can.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Steps onto the transporter pad.

CEO_B`Renak says:
::smiles as she hears the CO::

CEO_B`Renak says:
::steps on the pad next to the CTO::

CIV_Serok says:
:: shakes her head :: *CO*  is that an order Captain?

CSO_Lewis says:
::joins the CIV on the transporter pad::

CEO_B`Renak says:
CTO: Ready for fun?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Yes, Captain.

CTO_Horn says:
*XO*: I may throw it at you.

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  Then I shall endeavor to do so.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Excellent.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: Ordering Captain Serok to have fun?  Is that possible?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Let's put it this way ... it certainly is going to be fun finding out!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* that’s fine, commander.  Just be prepared for me to throw it back.  Be careful down there, Russ. 

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::chuckles a bit:: CO: You are developing a mean streak.

CTO_Horn says:
*XO*: And you be careful up there.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  That goes double from me, Commander.  I want you back, don't forget that.

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps onto the TP::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* Understood.  Bridge out.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
