OPS_TJ says:
::sitting at his station::

CEOTPaula says:
::on bridge::

TO_Calder says:
::surveying the finishing touches on the cargo bay. It looks good, the engineers have done an excellent job, and they say that anyone could tear it all down in 30 minutes, and set it up again in about that time. Amazing::

CMOPain says:
::In SB::

EOKellenw says:
::is at his station in ME, checking out routine diagnostics::

SO_Nes says:
::walks over to TJ:: OPS: We're supposed to liase with one another, ::smiles:: do you trust me?

OPS_TJ says:
::bends over his panel and adjusts the controls several times::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Flight control is online, systems are nominal, and ready to depart at your command.

CSOTsalea says:
::going over the new repairs and altered specifications at the science station::

CTO_Selan says:
::At the Tac. station::

OPS_TJ says:
::keys something into his console before facing the SO::

XO_Jude says:
*ALL*:   All departments please submit status reports immediately

Host CO_Miller says:
::on bridge checking over status reports::  FCO:  Release docking clamps.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Aye Sir, releasing docking clamps.

CMOPain says:
*XO*:  Sickbay is ready ::finishing up the last of the diagnostics::

EOKellenw says:
::smiles, glad to see the S is finally working smoothly again::

OPS_TJ says:
SO: Sure, as long as there's no fruit around... I see no problems :;grins::

Host CO_Miller says:
CEO:  It's nice to see you on the bridge, T'Paula.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Security is ready, sir. Alpha shift is either following the officers, or at their posts. Beta shift is backing up Alpha at critical locations, and on roaming patrols.

CEOTPaula says:
CO: Thank you, sir.

OPS_TJ says:
*XO* Operations prepped and ready to go, sir.

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Is everything ready?

CEOTPaula says:
XO: All systems online and functional, sir.

CTO_Selan says:
::Performing diagnostics on all 12 phaser arrays. Smiles at the fact that they're all repaired::

CIVlecara says:
::Arrives on the bridge, and looks around for T::

SO_Nes says:
OPS: Ok, how do you want to do this?

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* Good work, Lt.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Thank you, sir.

XO_Jude says:
CO:  We seem to be set, sir

OPS_TJ says:
SO: At this point I'm busy with last minute preparations, I'll leave that up to you...

Host CO_Miller says:
::looks over at Tsalea::  CSO:  Do you have anything for Lecaran to do?

CSOTsalea says:
::finishes downloading reports and hands padd to XO::  Status reports sir.

XO_Jude says:
CSO:   Thank you

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  As soon as we clear the SB, engage to Warp 6.

CTO_Selan says:
::Performs diagnostic checks on the torpedo tubes. Apparently, they were easy to repair since they weren't heavily damaged in the initial confrontation with the Kazon. All torpedoes, both Photon and Quantum, are fully stocked::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Taking her out, 1/4 impulse::watches as the S leaves SB 64::

XO_Jude says:
OPS:   Are we cleared for takeoff with SB 64?

CIVlecara says:
::Walks up to T::  CSO: Good morning ma'am. and congratulations on your promotion.. I understand that you will be my commanding officer now. In other words, you tell me what to do.. And I will be glad to do what you say, but I must speak with the CO very briefly first

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  I am wondering if the repairs on his ship are completed.

SO_Nes says:
OPS: Instead of slaving our stations together, I'll just link them, that way we'll remain apprised of the situation.

OPS_TJ says:
::glances quickly at his panel:: XO: Confirmed sir.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Sir, did you put in a request for type 3b rifles? Apparently that is what star fleet has decided to give us.

OPS_TJ says:
SO: Excellent idea. ::adjusts his controls:: Done.

XO_Jude says:
OPS:  Thank you

OPS_TJ says:
::nods to Jude::

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  Yes, you and I will be working together.  What is it you wish to discuss with the captain?

Host CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Selan, how are things with the shield generator?

CEOTPaula says:
::stares at very nice status readouts and listens to all the activity on the bridge::

CSOTsalea says:
CIV: are the repairs on your ship completed?

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* Not that I recall, but after what we have endured recently, I am not surprised they would send us that.

SO_Nes says:
OPS: I'll leave you to it. ::smiles:: Just don't surprise me, or be prepared for the consequences.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: I was about to check with the CEO, sir.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: We are clear of the SB.  Engaging at warp 6 on your command.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Yes, that is probably it, thank you, sir.

OPS_TJ says:
::glances at the computer uplink displayed on his console:: SO: I'll keep that in mind.

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  Engage!

CTO_Selan says:
CO: From what I have heard, repairs were well under way, and should have been finished by now.

CTO_Selan says:
CEO: Lt., have repairs to the shield generators been completed?

SO_Nes says:
::walks back to her station::]

CEOTPaula says:
CTO: Yes, sir.

FCO-Starr CO: Aye Sir, engaging warp 6. (Warp.wav)

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Well,  here we go,  first time out of SB under your command sir,  Congratulations

Host CO_Miller says:
CTO:  See if you can find me a more complete answer, please

CSOTsalea says:
:;waits for Lecarans answer::

OPS_TJ says:
::picks up a PADD and studies it carefully, looking at it and typing the information into his console::

FCO-Starr says:
:;watches her panel and the energy readings::

EOKellenw says:
::watches the warp core speed up, and smiles as he leans back in his chair.::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: They are, and it is completely restocked with torpedoes, but that is what I wanted to speak to the CO for.. because he is the one who was in charge of my punishment, and I was wondering if I will ever gain access to my ship again

Host CO_Miller says:
::looks over at Jude::  XO:  Thank you.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: According to T’Paula, all shield generators have been repaired, and are currently at peak performance. I shall have Engineering run continue scans on them, just in case.

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  ETA to the Breen/Cardassian border?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  I will discuss that with him and let you know.

XO_Jude says:
::Double checks all duty rosters and status reports....shakes head over so many new names on the duty roster::

Host CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Well done Selan.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: ETA 45 minutes Sir.

SO_Nes says:
::waits for the CSO to finish her conversation with the CIV::

OPS_TJ says:
::drums his finger on the PADD and takes notes from his console::

Host CO_Miller says:
::nods his head at Troi::  FCO:  Acknowledged.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: And by the way, she is purring like a kitten::grins::

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  I understand you have.... outside resources.  I was wondering if you might have any further information on the Breen that we do not have access too?

Host CO_Miller says:
OPS:  How are the resupply teams going?

CTO_Selan says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: Thank you, sir, but I believe the thanks should go to Lt. T’Paula, who was responsible for most of the repairs.

OPS_TJ says:
::gets up, and moves from his console to one of the aft stations::

CSOTsalea says:
::looks over at Shania::  SO:  Yes?

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Yes, I can get it .. what exactly do you want to know?

FCO-Starr says:
::listens to the conversations going on around her::

Host CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Understood.

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Sir, resupply teams are prepping the necessary supplies and the transporter controls are functioning normally.

CMOPain says:
::continues to put away med supplies with the rest of the staff::

OPS_TJ says:
::reaches over and presses a button on the console, glancing over the display::

Host CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Good.  I trust everything will go fine.

SO_Nes says:
CSO: Nothing ma'am, just waiting for you to finish your conversation so you'll give me my orders.

OPS_TJ says:
CO: You can count on it, sir.

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  Any information that you might be able to.... attain on the Breen.  There are some discrepancies from the data we currently have from recent reports.

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Phaser arrays are completely repaired, and ready for battle if needed. Repairs to the torpedo tubes have also been completed, and all torpedoes are in stock.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* I've made my checks, anything you need me to do, sir?

OPS_TJ says:
::reaching over to the console next to him, he keys in several sequences and runs a diagnostic on the transportation systems::

FCO-Starr says:
OPS: I am noticing a slight power drop at helm control, can you check that for me?

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  I trust sickbay is ready for anything?

XO_Jude says:
CTO:   Excellent, let's just hope we won't need them today

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* Not currently.

CSOTsalea says:
SO:  I would like some suggestions on ways we might detect the Breen ships.  Do you have any suggestions?

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Yes sir

Host CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Remember TJ, as we approach, go to Red Alert.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Understood, sir

SO_Nes says:
CSO: I have an idea, but I'll have to check some info. further.

CIVlecara says:
CSO: hmm.. detect them.. I wasn't aware that they had cloaking tech.. only the energy dampening weapons

OPS_TJ says:
::when he's completed their, he addresses the Captain:: CO: understood, sir.

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Thank you.

FCO-Starr says:
OPS: I am noticing a slight power drop at helm control, can you check that for me?

SO_Nes says:
::moves to the library computer::

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Captain, I would like to recommend the widespread use of transporter inhibitors aboard the Scorpius.

CSOTsalea says:
SO:  Remember, there is only one of us too their unknown numbers.

CSOTsalea says:
SO:  Proceed and let me know what you come up with.

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Everything going smoothly down there, Ensign?

TO_Calder says:
::heads to the TL and to the old armory, now in the process of becoming offices::

OPS_TJ says:
CO: just as a secondary precaution, if our shields do fail and we are faced with the option of boarding teams.

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  We have been informed that they have cloaking technology.

Host CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Agreed.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO*: I couldn't be happier, sir.

CTO_Selan says:
::Thinks of something for a moment:: XO: Sir, may I make a suggestion?

OPS_TJ says:
CO: thank you, sir. I'll get to it immediately.

FCO-Starr says:
::watches the power fluctuations::

OPS_TJ says:
FCO: Sorry, I'll see what I can do immediately. ::examines his controls:: yes, I see it.

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  I am more interested in their physiology.  Anything that you might discover.  Write up a report on what you... discover and let the doctor know.

XO_Jude says:
CTO:  Yes?

CEOTPaula says:
::suspects Kellenway's statement is hyperbole...so long as his happiness doesn't interfere with his work::

Host CO_Miller says:
::looks around at the crew performing their duties and smiles::

FCO-Starr says:
OPS: Thank you, is it serious?

OPS_TJ says:
FCO: Ma'am, apparently it's nothing serious, I can avoid it by bypassing the secondary relay outlets. ::makes the necessary adjustments::

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Well, I was considering. The last time we entered into battle, it was with the Kazon, and you know how that ended up. We were only severely damaged because we entered the Barzan situation, not knowing what to expect. Perhaps, this time, upon coming into a closer range with the border, we should send a team with the Ki'Paq ahead. Having the Ki'Paq cloaked, so that it can reconnaissance for us

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Sure, it may take me a few days for that, but I may have some ideas for the cloak detection though.. I would be glad to assist you on that

SO_Nes says:
::finishes at the library computer and walks back to the CSO::

FCO-Starr says:
OPS: Very good, they are coming back to normal.  Should I ask engineering to check into this?

OPS_TJ says:
FCO: That would be a wise precaution with the circumstances being what they are.

Host CO_Miller says:
CNS:  May I see you in my RR?

XO_Jude says:
CTO:  I think that may be wise,  but that's something we'd need to clear with the CO?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  As soon as you have something let us know.  If you have some thoughts on decloaking, let Lt. Selan and Lt. T'Paula have a look as well as myself.

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Of course, sir.

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Would you like me to clear it with him, now?

OPS_TJ says:
::checks over the secondary relay functions and logs the small problem in the main computer logs::

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: I am experiencing power loss in primary helm control.  OPS has switched to secondary.  Can something be done to correct the problem before we get to the border?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  Proceed

CSOTsalea says:
::walks over to the captain::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Just a moment

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  Is it anything to be concerned about?

SO_Nes says:
CSO: The Enterprise D targeted a low-level ionic pulse on the Duras sisters' BOP. This reset the ship's plasma coil and triggered its cloaking device.  As the cloak engaged the vessel's  shields drop and it was destroyed.

CSOTsalea says:
::looks back at the CIV::  Yes?

XO_Jude says:
CO:  What do you think of sending the CIV's ship on ahead,  when we near the boarder,  because it can cloak,  and it's Klingon,  it could avoid contact with the Breen

OPS_TJ says:
::glances at the uplink he established between his own console and the SO's::

CEOTPaula says:
FCO: I will look into it, ma'am.  ::begins tapping buttons, looking for the problem::

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: Thank you.

CTO_Selan says:
::Hears XO passing the idea along to the CO, and returns to his continual checks on the weapons::

OPS_TJ says:
::adjusts a minor control routine::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  You know how I feel about the cloaking device.  But if you can give me a strong recommendation, we can make it so.

CIVlecara says:
SO: Yes, but that was an early version of a BOP, which had a design flaw.. the Ki’Paq, and doubtless the Breen ships would not have that weakness

CMOPain says:
::finishes putting away the supplies and goes to update the crew's medical files::

SO_Nes says:
CIV/CSO: True, and the ship would have to be decloaked for it to work.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Yes, Tsalea?

CEOTPaula says:
FCO: Of course, ma'am.

XO_Jude says:
CO:  The CTO suggested it,  and I concur

CSOTsalea says:
SO:  would that work on a Breen ship though?

OPS_TJ says:
::picks up one of the PADD"s in a stack of many nearby, and compares some readings he took a week ago, with the current ones::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  May I discuss something with you at your convenience?

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, since it will be a while before we reach the border, would you like me to get my physical out of the way now?

TO_Calder says:
::brings up a tactical layout of the ship on a screen, everything looks good still, checks on the status of the forcefields::

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Yes, shall we go to my RR?

OPS_TJ says:
::carefully fine-tunes the transporter systems::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  I will give it some thought.

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  Please, proceed.

CSOTsalea says:
SO/CIV:  let me know what you come up with

SO_Nes says:
CSO: Unknown, but that's the only info. I have at the moment.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Aye Sir.

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Yes sir

OPS_TJ says:
::draws his tricorder from where it was nestled in its holster and scans his console::

CIVlecara says:
::Overhears the XO and CO talking about the Ki’Paq, and wanders over to them::

CEOTPaula says:
::trying to pinpoint the source of the power loss::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Jude, I will be in my RR.  You have the bridge.

FCO-Starr says:
*CMO*: Maam, I can come and have my physical if this convenient for you now.

CSOTsalea says:
::follows the captain to the ready room::

OPS_TJ says:
::moves his tricorder over his console in circular movements, and studies the readings::

CMOPain says:
*FCO*: It is convenient.  You can come.  ::leaves her office and gets sets up for the physical::

CTO_Selan says:
::Glances as T'salea and Captain Miller proceed into the CO's RR, while Lecaran walks over to the XO::

XO_Jude says:
CTO:   Have the Civ's ship ready,  just in case....I know how the CO feels about a SF crew using a cloaking device,  but it really saved our skins when we faced the Kazon

Host CO_Miller says:
::enters RR and takes a seat behind his desk::  CSO:  Yes Tsalea, what can I do for you?

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Aye, sir.

CIVlecara says:
XO: Excuse me, sir, I hope I am not interrupting anything, but I overheard you discussing the Ki'Paq with the CO, and I was wondering if you knew whether he had made a decision regarding whether I am allowed to access the Ki’Paq again

FCO-Starr says:
Ensign: You have the helm::leaves her chair and goes to the TL::

OPS_TJ says:
::snaps his tricorder closed, and places it on his console::

XO_Jude says:
::Moves over and sits in the CO's seat,  listening to Lecaran::

FCO-Starr says:
::exits the TL and walks into sickbay::

OPS_TJ says:
XO: Sir, permission to leave the bridge? I would like to check up on the progress of our re-supply teams..

CSOTsalea says:
::standing with hands behind her back::  CO:  sir I would like to address a few things with you concerning Lecaran.

CIVlecara says:
XO: I do think that , the punishment should have been lifted by now.. but I do realize it is the CO choice

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Lt. Comdr. Starr reporting for her physical.

XO_Jude says:
CIV:   I don't know if he's made a final decision yet.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Sir, should we begin raising all the forcefields available in places that aren't often traveled? it would pose some inconvenience, but would decrease the speed that an enemy could move within the ship, if somehow they were able to get aboard undetected.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  By all means Tsalea, proceed.

XO_Jude says:
OPS:  Granted

OPS_TJ says:
::nods, and gathers together a stack of PADD's and his tricorder before nodding to the XO and entering the TL::

CTO_Selan says:
::Hears the CIV's and XO's conversation:: *TO* I think we should inquire that idea with the XO and CO. Give me a moment, I shall do it.

SO_Nes says:
::begins formulating plans to detect The Breen::

EOKellenw says:
::decides to run a few diagnostics::

CMOPain says:
::sees the FCO enter:: FCO: Hi.  I'm Lt. Michaela Pain.  Have a seat on this biobed ::pointing::

OPS_TJ says:
::requests the transporter room::

CIVlecara says:
XO: But.. I do not appreciate the crew using it without my permission.. but I do realize that it may in fact save our lives.. so I will continue to allow you to use it, but protestingly, if I am not allowed access to it once again

CSOTsalea says:
CO: First is the Ki'paq.   Does he have permission to use the vessel again.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  I have given it some thought, and I am ready to lift his punishment.  I only hope that he has learned a lesson from that experience.

OPS_TJ says:
::steps out of the TL and walks for a few moments before entering the TR::

XO_Jude says:
CIV:   We would never us your ship without your permission.

CMOPain says:
FCO:  How are you doing today?  Welcome aboard the Scorpion by the way.

CEOTPaula says:
::going about this power loss problem in a thorough and precise manner, not displeased with not having to do it with the ship under attack::

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Sir, Lt. Calder has come up with the idea of placing force-fields in areas which are not often traveled on the ship. This would prevent movement by any invaders in certain areas.

OPS_TJ says:
::enters the TR and orders an update from the officer on duty::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  It would be prudent if he did.  I would make a suggestion that might assist toward that area.  I have not discussed this with Larcarn so I do not know his thoughts on it, but...

CIVlecara says:
XO: Well... that is what happened last mission.. I was not informed of its use until I was transported aboard it

XO_Jude says:
CIV:  however,   as long as you are a part of this crew,  I would hope that you would put everyone's safety above your personal interest

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Thank you.  We have been so busy I have not had a chance to meet most of the crew, shall I get up on the biobed?

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  What about giving the civilian the rank of acting ensign.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Acting ensign....hmmmm.

CMOPain says:
FCO:  Yes please.  We are a great crew.  Could you please lie down.

XO_Jude says:
CTO:   Give him the green light on that

OPS_TJ says:
<TR Operator> OPS: Sir, we have completed the necessary steps required in resupplying any outposts we may "stumble across.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  That would give him more access.

FCO-Starr says:
::jumps up on the biobed and lays down::

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  What is your opinion on this matter?

OPS_TJ says:
TR Operator: Very good, and what about the transporter systems?

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Yes, sir. ::Taps comm-badge:: *TO* Lt., you are allowed to proceed with the plan. Be sure to have the areas that you place the force-fields in cleared first, however.

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Yes it would.  It would also solve the problem of him being on the bridge as well as placing him under the jurisdiction of SF orders and protocols.

XO_Jude says:
CIV:   I apologize for that,  but you must understand that with the odds against us, they way they were,  and our ship being boarded,  I didn't have time to make a formal request

CIVlecara says:
XO: I do, as I just mentioned.. even if I am not allowed access to it, I will still let the crew use it, but I will log a protest if it is used without my knowledge again.. I hope I do not seem.. hostile towards you.. if I do.. I regret it

CMOPain says:
::starts to read the monitors on the biobed and taking notes:: FCO:  Have you had any major medical problems in the past.  ::starting the basic medical questions for the physical::

SFC says:
@ ::sitting at his desk...opens up a comm link:: COMM: Starfleet Command Personnel to USS Scorpius, please come in.

SO_Nes says:
::keeps scanning::

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Agreed.  Do you think this is best?

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Yes, sir. I will begin immediately.

CTO_Selan says:
::Hears comm. signal, surprised::

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: No Maam, I am healthy as a horse.

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Yes.  If it does not work, it can of course be rescinded.

OPS_TJ says:
COMM SF: Scorpius here, we hear you. XO: Sir, incoming transmission.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Then we are in agreement.  I will talk to him about it, please stay with us.

CSOTsalea says:
CO: Very well.

CIVlecara says:
XO: Thank you for your attention, sir.. I will now work on a way to detect cloaked Breen ships, as per the CSO's orders

CMOPain says:
FCO: I can tell ::smiling:: A good place to start meeting the crew is in the lounge after duty.  I see here you are transferring from the Seleya?

XO_Jude says:
CIV:  Before you say anything that might prejudice a future decision on my part,  please remember that the situation is now that you report to the CSO,  and she brings your concerns to the CO

OPS_TJ says:
<TR Operator> OPS: Well, sir, we are having no problems with that either. I would, however like to keep an eye on the isolinear matrix's sub-systems.

TO_Calder says:
::decides to take Sec Arnold, and Galden and make sure the areas are cleared and then get the forcefields working::

XO_Jude says:
CIV:   I trust them to make decisions that are in your best interest

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Yes Maam, in fact I was CMO on the Seleya for several years.  I understand the job you have to do.

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Sir, we have an incoming transmission from Starfleet Command, and the channel has been opened.

XO_Jude says:
CIV:  Don't you?

OPS_TJ says:
TR Operator: Understood, keep me up-to-date. ::leaves the TL  on his way to the bridge::

XO_Jude says:
CTO:   Let's hear what they have to say

Host CO_Miller says:
*CIV*:  Please report to my RR.

CIVlecara says:
XO: Yes, sir

SFC says:
COMM Scorpius: Scorpius, I must talk privately to Captain Miller, if possible.

CTO_Selan says:
::Wonders what the person on the other side of the "line" is thinking since the XO isn't answering:: ::Whispers:: XO: The channel is open.

XO_Jude says:
SFC:  Let me transfer your transmission to his RR

OPS_TJ says:
::upon entering, orders his destination, and exits the TL::

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: How long have you been on the Scorpius, if you don't mind me asking?

CMOPain says:
FCO:  Good.  You wouldn't mind if I added you to our emergency medical team as one of the doctors then, If the CO approves.

CTO_Selan says:
::Wonders why SFC would want to talk to Captain Miller personally, unless something bad has happened::

XO_Jude says:
CO:  There is a private transmission from SFC coming in on your RR channel

OPS_TJ says:
::approaches his console, nodding to those on duty::

CIVlecar says:
::Heads to the CO's RR::

Host CO_Miller says:
::receives transmission::  COMM SFC:  This is CO Miller, what can I do for you?

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Not at all, you know us ex-docs, I always keep a medkit close to me::smiles::

OPS_TJ says:
::sits down in his seat, relaxes, and notices that there is an open comm channel to the CO's RR::

SFC says:
@ ::sits back in his chair:: COMM Scorpius: Captain Miller, very nice to see you again. I will make this quick...We have something here for you.

CIVlecar says:
::Enters the RR::

CIVlecar says:
CO: Yes, sir?

Host CO_Miller says:
COMM SFC:  And what would that be sir?

CMOPain2 says:
FCO:  I've been on the ship for several months now.

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Any suggestions?

Host CO_Miller says:
::smiles as he sees the data come up on his screen::

CIVlecar says:
::Exits the RR quickly::

CSOTsalea says:
::looks over at the Civilian::  CIV:  Can you wait outside for a moment?

OPS_TJ says:
::runs a quick check of his controls and then leans back in his seat::

Host CO_Miller says:
COMM SFC:  I must say, that was quick.  Thank you sir.

SFC says:

CMOPain2 says:
FCO:  Your done.  I wish all of my crew were in such good health as yourself ::holding out her hand to help her off the biobed::

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Yes Tsalea, it is.

CMOPain2 says:
FCO:  Probably  I used to be stationed at the SB.

OPS_TJ says:
::taps at it, skipping through most of the information::

XO_Jude says:
*ALL*  Senior officers please report the bridge immediately, per order of the CO

CSOTsalea says:
::nods and waits for the captain to proceed her::

FCO-Starr says:
*XO*: Aye Sir, leaving sickbay now.  Bye Maam, thanks again.

CTO_Selan says:
XO: All right. ::Hears the Captain's command, and wonders if this has anything to do with the transmission he just received::

TO_Calder says:
Sec Galden, Arnold: finish up, I will be on the bridge ::heads in the direction that the forcefields aren't::

CMOPain2 says:
FCO:  good.  ::hears the comm:: It looks like I got to go.  I'll walk with you to the bridge

EOKellenw says:

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Great, lets go::smiles::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  yes sir.  I take it we will talk with Lecaran afterwards.

CMOPain2 says:
CEO: Congratulation T’Paula  ::claps::

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: Congratulations Maam.

SO_Nes says:
CEO: Congratulations.

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at T'Paula::  CEO:  Congratulations

Host CO_Miller says:
::smiles as he knows this is one of the nicer things that a Captain gets to do::

CEOTPaula says:
::tries to thank everyone who is congratulating her at once::

CEOTPaula says:
::definitely not doing anything so emotional as smiling::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  This has got to be one of the favorite things Admiral Alexander had to do.

OPS_TJ says:
::turns back to his console, still smiling::

XO_Jude says:
CO:   And you seem to enjoy your part in it as well!

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, ETA to border is 15 minutes.::wonders who Adm. Alexander is::

CSOTsalea says:
::nods in agreement with the captain::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Of course I do Jude!

OPS_TJ says:
::keys something into his console::

XO_Jude says:
::Laughs::

CTO_Selan says:
::Stands at the Tactical station, standing straight, and monitoring the "celebration" nearby::

FCO-Starr says:
::can sense the closeness of this crew::

CMOPain2 says:
::whispers to the FCO:: FCO:  Admiral Alexander is the former ship captain.

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  Drop to 3/4 impulse.

XO_Jude says:
CSO:  Anything on long range sensors?

OPS_TJ says:
::studies his readouts carefully and runs last minute diagnostics:: CO: Sir, I hate to be a wet blanket, but shall we go to red alert?

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO/CIV:  Shall we return to my RR?

SO_Nes says:
CEO: What do you think of my suggestion?

CIVlecar says:
CO: Yes, sir

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Aye Sir, dropping to 3/4 impulse::punches controls on her panel::

CSOTsalea says:
::looks over at SO:  SO:  Are we detecting anything on LR?

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Once again, you have the bridge.

CEOTPaula says:
::waits for things to die down before returning to her station and Shania::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Yes sir.

Host CO_Miller says:
::heads to his RR::

CTO_Selan says:
CIV: Lecaran, before you proceed into the RR, do I have your permission to prepare your vessel just in case we may need it?

TO_Calder says:
::walks over to the CTO, notes that he doesn't have a rifle over his shoulder like he usually does::

CIVlecar says:
CO: But, sir , if you don't mind, I have something to report to T first?

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Yes sir

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Sir?

CIVlecar says:
CTO: Yes, Selan

CMOPain2 says:
CO/XO:  May I return to Sickbay?

SO_Nes says:
CSO: Just the normal shipping traffic ma'am.

CEOTPaula says:
SO: I think that it has a chance of success.

CIVlecar says:
::Heads to RR::

XO_Jude says:
CMO: Yes

CSOTsalea says:
SO:  please report to XO ::follows Captain to RR::

CIVlecar says:
::Enters RR behind T and CO::

SO_Nes says:
CSO: Yes ma'am.

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Thanks for the info:;grins::

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods at Lecaran, and turns back to Calder:: TO: Lieutenant, I need you to proceed to Lecaran's vessel, and prepare it for a reconnaissance mission, just in case we need one.

CIVlecar says:
CSO: I believe I have a way to track their cloaked ships, at least locally

CMOPain2 says:
XO:  thank you, sir.  FCO:  when you’re done with your shift.  Could you meet me in the lounge?

SO_Nes says:
CEO: Good, if I have any more ideas, I'll let you know.

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  Tsalea has brought something to my attention that should be of some interest to you.

OPS_TJ says:
::decides to try once again:: XO: Sir, shall we go to red alert?

SO_Nes says:
::walks over to the XO::

CIVlecar says:
CO: Yes, sir?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  good.  What moment though.  ::looks over at the captain::

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: I would love to, thank you.

CMOPain2 says:
::heads for the TL::

XO_Jude says:
OPS:  Yes

CMOPain2 says:
FCO:  You're welcome ::enters TL::

OPS_TJ says:
::nods and adjusts his controls:: XO: Done.

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Yes, sir. ::heads toward the TL::

CEOTPaula says:
::nods to SO and returns to monitoring stable systems status readings::

Host CO_Miller says:
::hears the Red Alert klaxon go off and knows they must be close::

XO_Jude says:
OPS:  I believe those were the original orders....hopefully just a precaution

OPS_TJ says:
::nods to the XO::

SO_Nes says:
XO: You wanted me sir?

EOKellenw says:
::looks around as Red Alert sounds throughout Engineering. He stands, and makes sure DCPs are standing by::

CIVlecar says:
CO: go ahead, sir

CMOPain2 says:
::leaves the TL and heads for sickbay::

CTO_Selan says:
::Hears the red alert go off, and charges phasers, and has Torpedoes loaded into their launchers::

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  First of all, I have lifted your punishment with the Ki'Paq.

CIVlecar says:
CO: Thank you very much, sir.. I will be more responsible with her from now on

CSOTsalea says:
::stands off to the side listening::

EOKellenw says:
Comp: Computer, begin level 3 diagnostics on primary computer systems.

OPS_TJ says:
::places his operations teams on stand-by, and gives them last-minute assignments::

XO_Jude says:
SO:  I was wondering if there was anything on long range scans?   And if you had planned to launch any probes in the vicinity of the boarder?

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  I do hope that you have learned a lesson from this.

TO_Calder says:
*Sec Delta 2,3,4,5* Once you get your weapons, meet at the shuttlebay, just outside the Ki'Paq.

FCO-Starr says:
CTO: I am locked into your console and prepared if we need to fire using evasive procedures.

CIVlecar says:
CO: Yes, sir.. I will do my best to obey you every command, or the command of those serving under you

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: Am I back on primary helm control?

CTO_Selan says:
::Begins Long Range, and short range scans for any hostile vessels:: FCO: Acknowledged.

SO_Nes says:
XO: There is nothing except the usual traffic on LRS, and I had not thought about launching probes. Do you wish me to sir?

CEOTPaula says:
FCO: Yes ma'am.

CMOPain says:
::relieves Dr. nice and ensures sickbay is ready for anything::

Host CO_Miller says:
*OPS*:  Please communicate with the first outpost that we will be arriving shortly.

OPS_TJ says:
::nods and slaps his badge:: *CO* Aye sir.

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: Thank you for the swiftness of the repairs.

XO_Jude says:
*CO*:  Should we launch any long range probes?

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  Now, I would like you to think about taking on the title of Acting Ensign.  What do you think?

TO_Calder says:
::arrives outside the Ki'Paq, and waits for security::

Host CO_Miller says:
*XO*:  Yes Jude, go ahead.

CEOTPaula says:
FCO: Of course, ma'am.

CIVlecar says:
CO: Hmm.. and interesting proposal, and one that pleases me.. but .. what exactly will this entail?

XO_Jude says:
SO:  Please launch those probes,  the CO has given the go-ahead

OPS_TJ says:
::reaches over to his console and punches in some commands:: COM: 1st Outpost: Outpost, this is USS Scorpius, we are en-route to your position with the required supplies and equipment. Please stand by as we will be arriving shortly.

TO_Calder says:
::gets on board the Ki'paq and heads for the bridge-like area::

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  This will give you more access to the ships systems and such.

SO_Nes says:
XO: Anything special in the probes sir?

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  It will also make sure you comply with all SF protocols.

EOKellenw says:
::gets a wary notion, and sends a DCP to the Bridge, just in case.::

OPS_TJ says:
::sets the communication's channel on automatic receive::

CIVlecar says:
CO: I will have to think about it, but right now, I expect to accept, you will have my report in the morning

TO_Calder says:
::begins running pre-flight checks on the ship systems::

CIVlecar says:
CO: May I ask you a few things?

FCO-Starr says:
*CO*: Sir, we are near the first outpost, should I assume standard orbit?

CSOTsalea says:
::raises an eyebrow at that response::

SO_Nes says:
::waiting for a response from the XO::

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  Very well Lecaran.  I must say this though, that title isn't given to just anyone.

XO_Jude says:
Anything that might tell us what sort of movements the Breen are making,  what propulsion systems they are using,  emissions from those systems,  any way of detecting cloaked ships....

Host CO_Miller says:
*FCO*:  Yes Troi.

CIVlecar says:
CO: Yes, sir, I understand

CTO_Selan says:
::Finds everything is currently all right on long range sensors, as well as short range:;

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  Go ahead.

SO_Nes says:
XO: Aye sir. ::walks back to the Sci Station::

CIVlecar says:
CO: All right, I must ask of you 2 things regarding the Ki’Paq:

FCO-Starr says:
*CO*: Aye Sir::slows to 1/4 impulse and begins standard maximum orbit around the first station::

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  I'm listening.

SO_Nes says:
::begins preparing probes::

CIVlecar says:
CO: #1: That I am on board it each time it is used for a mission, except if it needs to be launched immediately, for an emergency

OPS_TJ says:
::analyzes his sensor readings and places the TR on stand-by::

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  and?

CIVlecar says:
CO: #2: That I be given seniority while on board it, unless the situation is truly out of control, at which point I will relinquish command to the highest ranking SF officer on board

Host CO_outpos says:
COMM: Scorpius: come in ....

OPS_TJ says:
XO: Sir, incoming transmission, apparently from the CO of the outpost.

CSOTsalea says:
::looks over at the captain not agreeing::

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Pre-flight complete, sir. Orders?

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  I'm afraid not.  I do not think you are in a position to be making demands, and I certainly won't stand here and listen to that.  Is that understood?

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* We are not to launch yet, that is if we do launch. I thank you for your help, Mr. Calder.

OPS_TJ says:
::opens a channel to the outpost::

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Yes, sir. Should I head back to my "almost" office area, or stay here?

XO_Jude says:
OPS:  Open the channel

OPS_TJ says:
XO: Done, sir. Standing by.

CEOTPaula says:
::quietly watching the engines and other vital systems not being damaged ... not that it is relevant, but this is turning out to be what you would call a 'good day'::

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* You may proceed back to your regular duties, unless there is anything else you want to contribute to the "Ki'Paq plan."

CIVlecar says:
CO: I am very sorry, sir.. I hope you understand that it wasn't supposed to be a demand, but just a request. I apologize profusely, for overstepping my boundaries

FCO-Starr says:
::senses dissension coming from the CO's RR::

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* I am unsure what the plan is, sir.

SO_Nes says:
::finishes’ preparing both probes and launches them::

CIVlecar says:
CO: I hope this does not make you reconsider your offer

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  Not at all.

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* If needed, the Ki'Paq was to reconnaissance the space before us, so we would know what situation we would walk into.

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  When the ship is used for ship procedures, the second request is not viable.

SO_Nes says:
::checks to make sure probes are transmitting data::

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  What you do with your ship in your spare time is your business.

CEOTPaula says:
::then again, several proverbs come to mind that advocate postponing judgment of any given event or time period until its completion::

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Understood, sir. I am probably one of the best on the Scorpius to be here, but If I may speak frankly, sir...

XO_Jude says:
COMM:  This is the XO of the USS Scorpius,

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* Go ahead.

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  You and your ship are my responsibility if it is taken on a mission.

CIVlecar says:
CO: Sir, so the answer is a resounding no on both counts?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  It would depend on the situation.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Although my experience on this ship would be beneficial to the mission in all likelihood, both times that I have been aboard did not have happy endings.

Host CO_outpos says:
COMM: *XO*: good to  hear from you....we will lower our shields so you can send down those new shield generators...

Host CO_Miller says:
CIV:  I can't answer the first question just yet.  I need to ask the XO his opinion in the matter.

SO_Nes says:
::notes the probes are transmitting, but nothing 'interesting' as yet::

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO/CIV:  I am needed on the bridge now, so if you'll excuse me.

OPS_TJ says:
::double checks the transporter inhibitors, and prepares to quickly lower and then raise the shields::

Host CO_Miller says:
::heads out onto the bridge::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  of course ::stands aside::

CIVlecar says:
CO: Yes, sir.. thank you for your time, and offer. I wish to speak to Tsalea now, and I will head out to the SCI station to do so ::Motion for T to come along::

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* If you are referring to your first "expedition" in which you disobeyed orders, I understand. But you have been dropped off all charges in that action... however, I do not know what you are referring to in your second "expedition."

XO_Jude says:
*COMM *   Would you please give us the new authorization codes first?

FCO-Starr says:
::continues to orbit the outpost at 1/4 impulse::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Status?

FCO-Starr says:
ALL: Captain on the bridge!

CSOTsalea says:
::raises an eyebrow at the civ::

OPS_TJ says:
::decides to skip the "Captain on bridge bit, and settled for nodding to Jared::

Host CO_outpos says:
COMM *XO*: sending.....::110101100011::

Host CO_Miller says:
::smiles and nods at the FCO::

SO_Nes says:
::nods at the captain::

CTO_Selan says:
::Stands straight as the Captain enters the bridge::

XO_Jude says:
::Performs a betazed scan of the outpost to make sure that I'm not sending the generators to the wrong party::

OPS_TJ says:
::straightens::

XO_Jude says:
CO:  We are preparing to send the shield generators to the outpost

CTO_Selan says:
::Waits to hear Calder's voice again::

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* If I may continue to speak frankly, both of them, sir. The first one led to 2 weeks in the brig, on the second one we lost a good deal of the crew. I realize that you probably don't believe in luck, but I think it is bad luck.

FCO-Starr says:
::feels the XO and tries to put up her shields::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Have all codes been affirmed?

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* What happened with the Kazon, was not your fault, Mr. Calder.

CEOTPaula says:
::systems still obedient::

CSOTsalea says:
::walks over to the science station::

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* It still happened while I was on the Ki'Paq.

XO_Jude says:
CO:  The codes have been affirmed, and I'm doing a betazoid scan of the outpost as well

OPS_TJ says:
::keeps a very careful eye on the primary systems::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Very well, Jude.

Host CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Is everything going as scheduled?

CTO_Selan says:
*TO* So, you believe that whenever you are on the Ki'Paq, something terrible will happen to the Scorpius, or a member of it's crew?

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Everything seems to be ok,  shall TJ  transport?

OPS_TJ says:
CO: So far so good.

CIVlecar says:
::approaches the SCI station::

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Transport when ready.
