Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
REVIEW: Admiral Walthrope has taken possession of the largest of the VIP quarters and turned a section of it into a functional office and control area for her Task Force. General Rachak and Commander Porlat have returned to the Thunderbolt to coordinate their efforts from there. The Orbital installation is proceeding smoothly.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::stops just short of her, remembering not to salute:: Adm: Reporting as ordered, Admiral. How can I be of assistance?
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Captain, Mr. Porlat requested to examine the datacore, and he is coming to main engineering
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: I have an idea or two, Ike
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez: I need your assessment of this situation Mr. Ahkileez.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::sighs:: *CEO*: Very well, Jax. Just make sure to keep an eye on him
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::hesitates a moment:: Adm: Tactically or Diplomatically, Admiral?

Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
ACTION: Porlat and his two security officers walk into Main Engineering and move over to the Data Cores.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CO: Already on it ma'am.
Host CO_Fowler says:
TO: Naug, can you see to the request of Jax, please
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
<Porlat> *Jax*: These contain all data garnered so far, Mr. Jax?
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
Porlat: Yes, it is encrypted in standard Starfleet encryption
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Adm: I see. ::stands at ease:: Well, ma'am, seeing as this started out as a scientific mission, and a low-security one at that, there's potentially a paper trail that may be difficult to tie up. However, I must point out that I agree with the assessment that this planet is a dangerous commodity and it must be protected, but this defensive buildup..
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<cont> ..may tip our hand. Should any undesirables learn of it.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::goes on::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CO: Two guards are on their way ma'am, and I’ve had internal sensors watching him since he beamed aboard
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
<P> Jax:  May I see the data transfer logs?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Adm: As for the scientific aspects, I believe much can still be learned from this planet, and further investigation could prove profitable for reasons other than denying Jem’hadar access to near limitless Ketracel White narcotic. ::finishes his minor schpeil::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::smiles:: TO: Thank you
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
Porlat: There isn't any data transfer logs, those are deleted as well
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::takes the time so study the model of Jyg'Lo's new heart he has on his desk::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez: I want you on the ground team when we are ready to deploy. There will be three officers in the group, who have similar clearance to your own, and they will need assistance.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CO: If you will beg my pardon ma'am,  but what is a Romulan doing here anyway?
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
<Porlat> Jax: Are they stored in the cores?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::raises a brow:: Adm: I was under the impression that it would be scientists.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
Porlat: The sensor logs and mission logs, duty logs and medical logs are all in the data cores. That is all. Everything else is gone.
Host CO_Fowler says:
TO: He is on the Admirals team, Naug. And we aren't to ask why
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez: Twenty officers, 14 scientists, 3 security and 3... specialists.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CO: Yes ma'am, I withdraw my question
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Adm: And these... specialists, will be the ones I am assisting?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Continues to monitor while listening to the conversation on the bridge::
Host CO_Fowler says:
TO: No need, Naug. I know how you feel ::Tries not to show how miffed she is at being kept out of the loop::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Ma'am? About the wormhole? Was it brought up with the admiral?
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez: Yes... you understand the need to not draw attention to these specialists, don't you?
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
<Porlat>  ::Scans the datacores and extracts small pieces of data to examine::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: Yes it was, Ike. But it wasn't thought to be a problem.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::remembers hearing the same orders different ways over the years. It's like SEER all over again:: Adm: Yes ma'am. What are my orders concerning them?
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez: Assist if needed... that's all.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Really... Something about that still bugs me. It just seems too out of the ordinary.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Adm: Understood. And Captain Fowler? Am I to report to her?
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: I know what you mean Ike. It was something that I don't like. An unknown
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::goes back to his console getting  reported in from the security staff::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez: For this aspect of this mission... it is not important. The specialists will be more watchers than anything.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: I put off looking into it any further. I figure the less I know about this whole mess, the easier it will be to forget about it.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: Adm: Is that all, Admiral? If so, all I need to know is time of deployment.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: All we can do is let them know what we found, Ike
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez: We are t-minus one hour for deployment from the Thunderbolt, you, and your four member away team will beam over there just before deployment.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: And they don't want to hear about the wormhole? I'm surprised it could be overlooked so easily.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Continues monitoring ships orbit and comm traffic::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: I agree with you Ike. But we aren't paid the big bucks to think, you know ::Smiles and winks at him::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods again:: Adm: Yes ma'am. I understand my orders and will be ready when you need me.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::makes a long range scan sweeping the area for any danger::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Ahkileez:  Dismissed Mr. Ahkileez.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Adm: Aye aye. ::turns smartly and exits Walthrope's office::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::muscles up a grin, but goes back to straight-faced::  CO: I guess I just don't like having others think for me.
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
<Porlat> ::Finishes examining the data::  *Walthrope*  Data check is completed Admiral, beginning transport.
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
*Porlat* Excellent.. commence the scan when you are done.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: Nor do I Ike
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
:;shakes his head:: Self: The minute you stop thinking that way... things like this happen.. ::taps his badge::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Ahkileez to Captain Fowler.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Go ahead Commander
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::seeing nothing on scanners he goes back to interior sensors::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: My meeting is over, Captain. I am returning to Bridge. Do you have any orders before I come, ma'am?
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
ACTION: The Datacores are beamed off Sharikahr by the Thunderbolt, along with Porlat and his two aides.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::turns back to his station::
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Just report to the bridge Commander
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CO: Porlat and the datacores have been beamed out
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: My sensors indicate the Porlat has beamed off the ship
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Aye Captain. Ahkileez out.
Host CO_Fowler says:
TO: Thank you Naug
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::steps into the lift:: TL: Bridge.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CO: Excuse me ma'am,  but isn't that out of protocol
Host CO_Fowler says:
TO: It is, Naug, but I think they are going according to another type of protocol
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks up as the lift doors open, stepping out onto the bridge::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Hears the TL doors swoosh open::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
*Maylen* Walthrope to Dr. Maylen, please report to my quarters.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::manages to avoid eye contact with any of them before sitting in his chair once more::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
Self:: The more and more this goes the more I don't like it,  too irregular
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::looks up from his desk quickly, not sounding surprised:: *Walthrope* Yes, of course Admiral. On my way.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: That well 'eh? ::noticing Jyg's look::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shrugs a little:: CO: Well enough. Admiral Walthrope has assigned me to the science teams going down to the planet.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::looking at the XO noticing how he looks::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::feels the eyes on him like a warm breath on his neck, but resists the urge to look back::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Notices a slight power fluctuation in EPS conduit on deck 4 section 6. makes minor correction and corrects it::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::gets up from his desk and straightens his uniform, he heads out of sickbay and to the TL::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Let me guess, she probably has the teams all picked out. And I only get to 'play' like I'm in charge of my own people. ::waves her hand at Jyg:: Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry......well not very. But I don't like being in the dark on my own ship
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::almost opens his mouth but decides against it ::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::manages only to say: :: CO: I'm sorry Captain.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::over  hears the captain and gets the same feeling about it all::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I know you would tell me if you could Jyg ::pats his shoulder:: I won't compromise your orders. ::grins at him::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks relieved:: CO: Thank you. ::smiles again:: Do you think this place will degenerate to a madhouse without me?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::makes the short ride to the Admiral's quarters and steps out, walking down the hall to the door::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Laughs a little:: XO: Of course, but we'll try and make do
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::grinning, without looking away from his post:: XO: Ah, but you forget that I'm here sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::taps the door chime and takes a breath::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Door: Come..
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::still smiling:: CSO: I feel better already, Shinji.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
XO: I’ll  always be behind you  sir
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::smiles to himself as he taps a few buttons on the console::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::walks in the quarters and stands impassively at attention, betraying no emotion right now:: Adm: Lt. Commander Maylen reporting as ordered, Admiral.
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Maylen: Doctor, everything from this point on is confidential. Understood?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over his shoulder at Toir and nods, appreciatively before turning back:: CO: Should we assign additional duties to the departments for now, Captain? We could request scientific experiments on the waiting lists at Command for the staff to do in the meantime.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::nods curtly:: Adm: Of course, Admiral.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I like that idea, Commander. See to that please
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::after completing corrections to the EPS Conduit, sends report to Engineering on the problem::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Maylen: You know the most about these plants at present time. You are being temporarily reassigned to the Thunderbolt along with Mr. Ikari, he does not know yet. You are to work on a way of altering the genetic code of the plants, not to destroy them, just change the Ketracel molecule enough to prevent White from being extracted.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::goes back to hiss console going over Tac systems::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye. ::gets up::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks to Sci-I:: CSO: Shinji, do you have the latest auxiliary experiments list from Command? If not, you can request it. When you have it, we can head to the Conference Room to pick some.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::nods:: Adm: Understood Admiral... if I may speak freely, sir?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Nothing was sent to me. Perhaps you should send the request. Rank could help in this situation.
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Maylen:  You do not need to Doctor. I'm fully aware of what you are going to say. And it’s not going to happen, the plant will not be destroyed.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shakes his head:: CSO: I think you can handle it, Commander. Perhaps we could get updates as well, concerning certain narcotic solutions experiments.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
Adm: If I may say so, Admiral, I believe that this over-sentimentality about this plant and planet may prove to have dire consequences in the future.
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Maylen: You can say so all you want,  we have other plans. You will work on the theoretical models we have over on the Thunderbolt. Is that understood?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Very well, I'll prepare an official request.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::a light starts blinking on his console and he pushes some buttons on the console and sees that there is a power drop in the phaser banks::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::straightens to attention again:: Adm: Completely, Admiral.
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Maylen:  Dismissed.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
*Eng* I’m reading a power drop in the phaser banks  , please check it out immediately
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Notices a power drain:: TO: Confirmed.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Thank you, Commander. I know I can always depend on your... discreteness. Inform me when you have received confirmations. ::walks around the upper operations area, stopping at Tac::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
Maylen:  Oh and Doctor, be in the Transporter room in twenty minutes.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::looks up at the XO::  XO: Yes sir, Cmdr.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
Adm: Understood sir. ::nods as he is about to leave:: Admiral. ::spins on his heels and walks out::
Host Admiral_Walthrope says:
*Fowler* Captain, I will be requiring the assistance of Doctor Maylen and Lt-Commander Ikari on the Thunderbolt in twenty minutes.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::walks down the corridor and into the TL, only then allowing himself a sigh of relief::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Raises eyebrows:: *Admiral*: Aye, Ma'am
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: If you can spare someone, please conduct a check in the main armory. Maybe a surprise inspection will help ease boredom in your details. Understood, Lieutenant?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::looks over to Ike:: CSO: Guess you have been tapped, Ike
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Begins to co-ordinate with Eng to locate the power drain::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::turns to CO:: CO: Guess I'm not out of this yet.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
XO: Understood sir. Completely.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Ikari, face expressionless. Expecting a call as well:: TO: Carry on, Lieutenant.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
*Benson*: Report to the bridge Lt. and when you get here check with OPS, we have a power drain in the phaser banks
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::stands next to his chair once more:: CO: Do you think we should request an orders update from Sector Command?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::heads to Sickbay and by instinct goes to get his files together, but then remembers that he's not supposed to have any. He walks out into Sickbay:: MO: Sandra, you're in charge here until I get back.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
<Benson>*TO*: On my way, sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
<MO_Gill> ::frankly startled by the CMO addressing her in the familiar, seeing as he never does to anyone:: CMO: Ah.. yes sir... of course.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: It couldn't hurt. I think we should wait just a bit longer before we do that, though
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::Benson walks in out of the TL::  Benson; good when I get back I want that fixed
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I concur.. ::exhales and instantly relaxes, driving the agitation from his mind::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
<Benson> TO: Yes sir.  :: Toir turns and heads for the TL::
