:: At her station, going over the net being set up.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: looks up from the Aux Tac console and walks over to Sin, lowering his voice:: CSO: Commander
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks all the reading as they take up orbit::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looking over several plans on his arm console at the Captain's chair on the Bridge ::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Looks up::  CIV:  Commander... :: nods toward the network::  This will only work so long.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::is woken up by the gentle touch of his wife to the less than pleasing sound of standard Starfleet alarms... idly, vaguely, he shakes his head, and reaches over to turn it off::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles softly and leans in a little closer his voice soft:: CSO: I love you dammit, and well I want to know if well think I could move in and sleep on your couch?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::In her office in Main Engineering, going over plans and reports::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Blinks::  CIV:  Ummm... sleeping on the couch is rather uncomfortable when you have your own room.  Isn't it?
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Sets his reading aside ::  FCO: Commander.  Raise Governor McKay please and transfer it to the ready room.  :: Glances at his chief science officer, noting she is busy ::  FCO: You have the conn until Commander So'tsoh is not otherwise occupied.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks at her lost for words:: CSO: your infuriating woman, do i have to get down on my hands and knees?
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::Millicent moves to get up with him, but a hand laid on her shoulder puts a stop to it:: Millie: You're not exactly on duty here. Get some rest. ::smiles slightly:: The twins'll thank you.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain Contacting Gov McKay now. :: contacts the Gov::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Moves into his ready room, and sits at the desk at the communications channel resolves itself ::
Millicent_Arinoch says:
::nods once or twice, muttering something that sounds vaguely close to thanks, before rolling over, her eyes again drifting fully closed while Donavin gets up, moving to collect his uniform en route their shared living area::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: For a moment, a look of panic crosses her eyes.  She slowly takes a deep breath and glances over toward the captain, knowing he had heard.  Then shakes her head at herself and turns back to Adam::  CTO:  No... this is not the time or place.  Nor do I understand the concept of moving in to sleep on my couch.  I mean... :: looks a bit lost::

ACTION: The face of Governor McKay appears on the CO's view screen.

Gov_McKay says:
@::in his office, relaxing for a bit after a long visit to the new hospital wing being erected. Notices the call from the Shari, getting through directly on his monitor and answers :: COM: CO:  Hello Captain.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: I understand ::stands and straightens his jack and silently moves back to his console::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::taps his console to life, logs in, and watches the day's status reports scroll across his screen while he changes into uniform::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Suggest we launch a class 9 probe with a recce package to give us a heads up when the goons decide to move on us
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: McKay: Governor McKay.  Have you given thought to our proposals?  Assigning the Klingons under our command and readying the fleet for battle?  Commander Hembrook has also suggested diverting resources to a minefield.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: That would be a good ideal :: sees that  the CSO is finished:: CSO: Would you agree with that suggestion Ma'am?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks over at Sin and raises an eyebrow::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Noting his frustration she shakes her head.  She has no idea how to handle this.  Taking a deep breath, she turns to look at Twelk.::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO:  Yes.  Nor would the be surprised to see one.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::everything in place, he plucks his combadge off the desk, clips it to his shirt, and strolls out the door and into the corridor... perhaps surprising to those who've served with him on either of his tours aboard, sans coffee cup::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: Aye Ma'am
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Wanders out to the MSD to check status and talk things over with her team chiefs::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Lets send one out then.
Gov_McKay says:
@COM: CO: Captain, I had my cabinet review your proposal. The Klingons and the fleet will be under your command. I would gladly donate you all the resources I can, but first, I would like to discuss with you the possibility of an evacuation plan.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Setting probes parameters launching in 5 minutes
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::begins configuring the probe's mission parameters::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Roger.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Keeps the surprise off his face, but not entirely out of his voice ::  COM: McKay: An evacuation plan?  What kind of message would that send to your constituents?
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps into the lift, requesting the security office... he'd eventually make it to the bridge, but as the ship was out of danger for the moment, his presence there wasn't necessitated::
Gov_McKay says:
@COM: CO: That if things go awry women and children will be safe...
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CEO*:  Commander, where do we stand on the mines?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::mumbles under his breath as he works::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CSO*: Waiting for some kind of decision from the powers-that-be on whether we will be deploying any. I can't make them without authorization.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: hears the CIV mumbling:: CIV: Are we having a bad day Cmdr?
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps off the lift, and moves into the TIC, getting status reports from his people as he passes... gets word of probes being readied for launch, raises an eyebrow and decides to check on that next, after his meeting::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Try a lifetime ::sees the console blip and swears::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.  :: at the rate things were moving, the enemy would be on their doorstep before the door was even closed.::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
@COM: McKay: I see.  We will need the strongest vessels for the fleet.  Perhaps we can outfit the others with the stronger engines to be the evacuation vessels.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: glances over at Adam as he mumbled under his breath, wondering how she was being stubborn and if he remembered Vulcan hearing.... was she even supposed to hear that?::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Chief I got a problem with a class 9 recce probe can you send someone to fix it
Gov_McKay says:
@COM: McKay: I would just be happy to have a couple of trailblazers ready...the rest of the fleet you can use as you want and also all our industrial replicators.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: What is the nature of the problem?
CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: This is a surprisingly welcome cooperation ::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Just a minor glitch shouldn't take more than a few minutes to fix
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps into his office, where his team leads have already assembled... on his way to his desk, he begins:: All: Alright, we'll make this relatively quick and painless. We've got clueless, probably scared and justifiably paranoid civilians down there. Somewhere in that mix there's gotta be a former officer amongst them. We need names, we need positions, and we need contact. Yesterday.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: Forward torpedo bay?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Yes, getting it ready to spy on the neighbors
CO_Captain_Savar says:
@COM: McKay: We have much to prepare for.  You will prepare the evacuation vessels and ready the colonists?
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
All: Bravo team, you're on research detail. Delta, if bravo finds anything, you'll be doing the scouting. Be ready to leave by shuttle, transporter, or whatever the hell we can throw you out in on 5 minutes' notice.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::suddenly a thought strikes and he goes very pale and turns his head:: Self: Oh bugger
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: I'll take care of it myself, I used to be a Taccie, I know the systems.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Thanks chief owe you a bottle of your favorite poison
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Are we having a problem?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::heads for the nearest TL and takes it to the Forward Torpedo Bay::
Gov_McKay says:
@COM: CO: By all means...we have our fast evacuation plans in place. Of course most of us will stay here and fight if necessary.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: notes the area clear beyond the few ships from the planet.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: Not a problem. I'll advise you when it's ready.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
@COM: McKay: I would have expected nothing less.  The colonists are proud of their homes.  I will ready our forces.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Understood wall out
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
All: Gamma, Cappa, Omega, you're on standby for emergency deployment. Just in case our favorite targets decide to actually pose a threat. Zeta, get some sleep. If we have to call you, it's because folks are dying and we need you at your best.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
Self: I should have joined the Marines
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::gets the nods from his chiefs at once:: All: Dismissed! ::as they file out, he pulls out his chair, and sits down, signaling for flight to have a shuttle placed on standby for emergency dispatch should it be necessary, before calling up his display of external sensors to run a quick status check::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: hears the CIV :: CIV: It is still not to late once we are done here you can.
Gov_McKay says:
@COM: CO: Captain, I would have never believed I'd say that, but the colonial Militia is at your orders. You can coordinate with my security advisor for details. Just do not call him Commodore.. he does not like his official rank.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Don't tempt me
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Arrives in the Forward Torpedo Bay and examines the launch tubes. Finding the probe has jammed in the tube and the launch mechanism has malfunctioned, she attempts to eject the probe out and sort out the problem with the launch mechanism::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Nods ::  COM: McKay: Understood.  Thank you for understanding the gravity of this situation.  I need to prepare my ship.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: glances at the two men and says nothing.::
Gov_McKay says:
@COM: CO: Anything I can do for you Captain. Contact me if you need anything else. McKay out.

ACTION: The probe gets ejected out as the CEO fumbles with trying to fix the tube.

CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Goes about sorting out the loading and firing mechanism::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: As the channel closes, he stands and exits the ready room back onto the Bridge ::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::contacts his junior TO on the bridge, getting the info on why a probe launch is called for... nods, not that Mills can see it, and closes the channel:: Self: Might not be a bad fill-in after all, this Wall. Now if he'd just work on looking over his shoulder a little more often. ::smirks just a little, and continues to sort through reports for another few moments::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
All: The defense of the colony has been approved by the government on all counts.  TO: The vessels should respond to our orders to set up our defensive grid, including the bird of prey.  CSO: Inform the chief engineer to prepare the mine field.  Coordinate deployment with helm.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: nods::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees the Captain:: CO: Captain we are attempting to launch a class 9 probe  as an early warning system. However we are having a little problem with it at the moment.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CEO*:  Begin preparation of the mines.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: Looks like a faulty seal on the tube. With all the use it's been getting it eroded. I'll have it replaced in a bit. The probe is fine. Good thing we caught this now, we're likely to need this gear soon. Give me 10 minutes to replicate and install a new seal.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CSO*: Understood, as soon as I sort out the torpedo launcher I'm on it.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Is the problem under control?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: contacts her teams on the planet and informs them it is finally time to leave.  She then informed the shuttle bay of incoming as well as the transporter room to prepare to beam their people aboard.::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: I believe so Sir the CEO is currently working in it.
TO_Ens_Mills says:
CO: Eye sir. Relaying instructions to establish defensive formation now.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Understood
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Request permission to go to ME and assist the CEO in the preparations.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO: You have a pattern laid out for the mines?
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::his reports finished for the moment, he stands, locks down his console, and moves out and into the TIC proper, glancing up at the overhead displays showing current external scenery::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: I believe the CEO had one Ma'am I have as of yet to see it.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Confirmed.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Replicates the required seal and installs it, then does some tests to make sure the mechanism is functioning properly::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: heads for the TL::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CEO*:  Commander, did you complete the pattern of deployment for the mines?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: enters the TL and orders it to ME::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CSO*: Yes, I decided the fastest and easiest would be to establish a spherical pattern around the colony world and the moon so it was covered from all sides, and we could monitor it. I'm thinking the pattern should be about twice as far out as the moon's orbit.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CEO*:  Please send it to me to pass on to flight and tactical.

ACTION: The CSO is beginning to feel light headed and a little woozy.

CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::moves around the center, taking in the various points of reference presented to him::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns in his chair and looks at Sin::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: exists the TL and enters ME looking for the CEO::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: suddenly finds herself seated in her chair, taking deep breaths.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CSO*: As soon as I finish here.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: You ok?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Finishes the repairs and attempts to load the probe once again::

ACTION: The probe is loaded with no problems and is ready to launch.

CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
::looks up, slightly confused::  CIV:  I am... :: stops to think for a moment::  I need to visit sickbay.  :: stands::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::he nods to his communications technicians, only one of whom nods back with the others buried in trying to decode yet another frequency or something... he smirks a little, and heads out towards the corridor, passed the armed guards that bar access to the TIC unless otherwise told not to::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: Probe is locked and loaded. Fire at will.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees a maintenance person and approaches them:: EO: Where might I find Cmdr Hembrook?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Heads back to Main Engineering::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Takes a moment to get her sense of balance.::  CO:  Captain, I need to attend to a treatment in sickbay.  Now would be better then later.  I had... forgotten.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: understood standby for launch ::turns and hits the button on his console::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Furrows his brow slightly ::  CSO: When will you return?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: turns to Sin face filled with concern::

ACTION: The CSO's vision begins to blur in and out, but not too bad.

CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps into the lift, and requests the bridge::
EO_Spanner says:
FCO: She is fixing the launcher in the Forward Torpedo Bay Sir, should be back shortly.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  It should not take... :: reaches out a hand to grasp the back of her chair and takes a deep breath before continuing.:: long.  Medical should not be busy at the moment.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::quickly moves to Sin and takes hold of her arm to steady her:: CSO: Steady on commander
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: Very well.  Go.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
EO: Roger we are to get started on replicating the mines we need  for the defense shield can you get that started?
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps off the lift and onto the bridge, casually making his way towards the center of activity::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Simply nods and heads to the turbolift, slower then her normal pace while Adam helps her.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: shepherds her to the TL::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: nods to Arinoch as he passes them by.::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: As the lift doors close, she settles back against the cool wall, closing her eyes for a moment.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Walks into Main Engineering: EO: Spanner, you and your team get to the replicators. I loaded the plans in there, start cranking them out as fast as the units will cycle, then move them to the shuttle bay. The FCO and his gang gets them from there.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CTO*: Mr. Arincoh I've launched a class 9 probe to watch the neighbors. Can you have one of your lads monitor the data feed
EO_Spanner says:
CEO: Right away chief. ::moves out::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::glances briefly in Sin's direction, concerned, but returns her nod with one of his own... if she's that in need of help, she's likely going to sickbay... and she'll likely be met by a security officer or two to make sure she gets there::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks at her with concern:: CSO: Anything i should worry about?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees the CEO:: CEO: Hey Chief I am here to help in any way I can.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::taps his badge as he approaches the console, nodding not that he can see it:: *CIV*: I'm up here now, commander. I'll take care of it myself.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CTO*: Thank you, Wall out
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Opens her eyes::  CIV:  As a whole, uncertain.  As for this... :: sighs, frustration evident::  I had simply forgotten that I am to report to medical for anemia.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::pulls up a seat at his console, he calls up the display on the probe's current status::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles softly:: CSO: I'm sorry for any embarrassment I've caused
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
FCO: Right. I have the plans for the minefield laid out as a sphere, twice the orbit away from the planet as the moon's orbit. That should protect them both and give us some breathing space. Mu gang will bring the mines to the Launch bay and help you load them. ::hands him a PADD with the minefield details::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: continues to hold her arm::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Takes the PADD:: CEO: Roger I will have my people as well as myself there ready to deploy them when they arrive.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CIV:  And I apologize for making this... difficult.  Our situation.  But this is not an area I understand or have had any experience in.  And there are things... you do not know... yet.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:smiles at her:: CSO: I know. So where do we go from here?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: turns and heads for the Shuttle bay::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
FCO: The first batch should be ready in... ::checks the chronometer:: about 15 minutes. Prep your shuttles and good hunting.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: As the doors slide open::  CIV:  At the moment, to sickbay.
