USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Mission Summary:

Previously on the Vesuvius, the crew was at last freed from their 'animated' state and returned to their own forms.  However, this was only after being turned into each other.

Many of the crew still find themselves confused after their ordeal.  The fact that many find the most confusing is that Captain Royce has invited the being that caused all of the mishaps on the ship to visit with and observe them.

Investigation into the person or persons originating the destruct sequence during the last moments of their ordeal is still underway as they begin a patrol of the neutral zone.

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks down at the console lovingly knowing that Sara will return soon and all this will be hers again ::

CMO Blade says:
:: Scans himself with a tricorder ::

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: Yes, that would be fine.  Is Dresden your full name?  Or do you have a more familiar moniker?

Host CO Royce says:
EO:  Welcome aboard the Vesuvius, Ensign.  You may return to Engineering

EO McCain says:
EO: Yes, Captain.

CTO Horn says:
:: Once completed, resumes her task ::

EO McCain says:
:: Heads off to the turbolift ::

Host Dresden says:
XO: Dresden is only part of my name, my full name is Dresdenographisicos.

EO McCain says:
:: Enters Turbolift ::   Turbolift: Engineering.

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: So...Dresden would be fine then?   :: Hopes ::

Host Dresden says:
XO: Yes, I believe that would be much easier for you.  Unless you have another idea.

CMO Blade says:
Self: Strange I find no traces of any transformations.

EO McCain says:
:: Turbolift arrives at engineering Sarah exits the turbolift and heads for her console ::

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: Not at this time no...   :: Points to the turbolift ::   Shall we?

EO McCain says:
:: Checks status of the engines ::

Host Dresden says:
:: Walks toward the device ::   XO: Certainly.  Where are we going?

CTO Horn says:
CO: I have narrowed down the self destruct order to Engineering. I am attempting to narrow the panel and command codes down now

OPS Chaser says:
:: Wishes the stranger would just leave ::

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Good...    :: In an irritated voice... ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Please resume course for normal patrol

EO McCain says:
:: Checks the phase variance on the isolinear matrix ::

CIV T’Lara says:
:: At the science console looking at something ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Adjusts the course and speed to the Neutral Zone ::   CO: We should be at the coordinates in twenty standard minutes.

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: Since we all have bodies to move around in, we need to ride in a turbolift to get around the ship.  Step this way...   :: Opens turbolift doors ::

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: The CTO's search reveals the command codes used as that of the new Engineering Officer.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Thank you, Lieutenant

EO McCain says:
:: Uses console to assign some enlisted crew to look at the sensors ::

CTO Horn says:
CO: I located the person responsible. It is our new EO

Host Dresden says:
:: Smiles and nods thoughtfully ::   XO: Fascinating, we typically just tell our bodies where we want to be and we're there.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands and turns... ::  CTO:  WHO?   :: Eyes ablaze...highly irritated ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles ::   Dresden: I'm sure that would be much easier.  We have not yet mastered such a technique.

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a small ship on long range sensors.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gulps cause the CO is looking angry ::

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: Operations picks up a distress call.

CTO Horn says:
CO: With your permission, I would like to escort the EO to your ready room

EO McCain says:
:: Checks status of the team ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Ma'am, I have a distr-ress call.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Please do so, Commander

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Open channel

CSO Lane says:
CO: Captain we have a ship on long range sensors.   CIV: Can you confirm that?

CTO Horn says:
:: Logs off her panel and heads towards Engineering ::

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Looks at the actions partaking on the bridge, turns attention back to the sensors ::   CSO: That is an affirmative Lieutenant.

CSO Lane says:
CIV: Can you identify it?

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Ma'am a ship, small passanger-r about 25 life for-rms aboar-rd.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Opens a channel ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Channel, open.

CTO Horn says:
<Lt. Shadow>XO: Reporting as ordered sir

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Runs the ship through identifications...and increases scanning power ::

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Any Ship: Help, our engines are offline and we're drifting too close to Romulan space.  We're doing all we can to keep from crossing into their territory, but nothing is working.

CIV T’Lara says:
CSO: I will have its identification in a moment sir.

EO McCain says:
:: Does some diagnostics on the sensor relays ::

Host Dresden says:
XXO: This place is quite interesting.  Small, but there is still so much to see.

CTO Horn says:
:: Exits Turbolift and heads towards main Engineering ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Looks at Lt. ::   Shadow: That was fast, Lt...

CIV T’Lara says:
CSO: It's a small passenger liner…25 lifeforms on bio-sensors.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Checks power to the tractor beam, and deflector dish ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Ship:  This is Captain Royce of the USS Vesuvius.  We have you on sensors and will be at your location shortly.  Can you tell us what the problem is?

CTO Horn says:
<Lt. Shadow> XO: I aim to please Sir

CTO Horn says:
:: Enters main engineering ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Get on lock on the people when we are in range.  Prepare to beam them over.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Scans the ship ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Motions to the Captain that they will be there soon ::

XO Kelson says:
Shadow: Just stay at ease, Lt.  This will be one of your easier assignments.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to CSO ::   CSO:  ETA, Lieutenant?

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: It may seem small, but we call it home.   :: Moves them into turbolift ::

CTO Horn says:
<Lt. Shadow> XO: Yes Sir, I will follow quietly until I am needed

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.   :: Brings all transporters online and prepares to lock on to various life forms ::

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: What section of the ship would you like to see first?

CTO Horn says:
:: Spots the EO working ::

CTO Horn says:
EO: Ms. McCain, come with me please

EO McCain says:
CTO: Yes sir.

EO McCain says:
:: Goes with Horn ::

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: How about sickbay...   :: Tells computer to head to sickbay ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Heads back to the bridge with the new EO in tow ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Configures a tractor beam as a back up to the transporters ::

Host Dresden says:
XO: That sounds interesting.  What would sickbay be for?

EO McCain says:
:: Reads Horn's thoughts ::

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: Our bodies get injured or run down occasionally.  Sickbay is a place to repair our bodies.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Boosts power to the comsignal ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Enters Turbolift at the end of the corridor ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift with Dresden and Shadow in tow ::

CTO Horn says:
Computer: Bridge

CTO Horn says:
::Looks the new EO up and down::

Host Dresden says:
XO: Actually all of the ship is fascinating, I think this sickbay would be a good place to start.

CSO Lane says:
CO: We should be in transporter range in 20 minutes Captain.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::   Dresden: Since all of us are mortal, it is a good place to start.

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks into sickbay ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   OPS:  Got that?

Host Dresden says:
:: Looks around as they walk ::   XO: Hmmm everything looks so clean.

CTO Horn says:
:: The turbo lift doors open to the bridge and she exits with the EO in tow ::

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: It better be...we tend to act badly to filth and grime.

CTO Horn says:
CO: I have our crewmember. Shall I escort her to the Ready Room?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Powers up the cargo transporters and brings them quantum and diverts power for their use ::

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: The distress signal continues to be repeated as if automated.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::  CTO:  Please.  I'll join you both in a minute

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Signal is cycling as if automated, Captain.

CTO Horn says:
CO: Aye ma'am

CTO Horn says:
EO: Follow me

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Scan for lifesigns

EO McCain says:
:: Follows Commander Horn ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Enters the ready room ::

Host Dresden says:
ALL:  Hmmm interesting another different one.  This pointed ear is of the masculine gender, the one above is female.  Is that correct?

OPS Chaser says:
CO: About 25, Captain, var-rious r-races.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Hail them.  See if you can get an answer

XO Kelson says:
:: Sees doctor ::   Dresden: May I present our Chief Medical Officer, Ens. Blade...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Walks to just behind OPS and Flight Control... ::

CMO Blade says:
XO: Can I help you, Sir?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Is confused ::   COMM: SHIP: This is the USS Vesuvius, we have r-received a distr-ress call, do you r-requir-re assistance?

Host Dresden says:
CMO: Greetings, Blade, interesting name

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Doctor...this is our guest, Dresden. He is the one behind our shape-shifting.

CSO Lane says:
:: Watches the view screen as the ship in the distance gets closer ::

XO Kelson says:
CMO: The Captain is allowing a tour of the ship.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Bring us along side and hold position until we get an answer from them

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: At last!  Where are you?  We're losing power, engines have been out for days and communications are weak.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   OPS:  Good job, Lieutenant...I'll take it from here...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Squirms in her chair ::

CMO Blade says:
XO: Do you mean he's the one who turned me into a loony rabbit?

CTO Horn says:
EO: How long have you been with Starfleet?   :: Looking at the single pip on the collar ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Toltec:  Understood.  We are just a few minutes away.  I take it you're on back up power?

Host Dresden says:
:: Snickers ::   CMO: Yes, among other things I believe.

EO McCain says:
CTO: I spent some time in the reserves on Trill. I was training to be a joined Trill, Ma'am.

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Looks at OPS, then the captain quite curious if there is going to be an away team...she could assist with repairing the damage...or she could act as an
escort ::

CMO Blade says:
:: Throws Dresden a Vulcan stare ::

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Yes, doctor.  But that was all a misunderstanding.  We need to treat our guest with the respect of any other visiting dignitary now.

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: Yes, we're on back up and soon will be resorting to what little battery power this old crate stores.

CMO Blade says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

CSO Lane says:
:: Checks the warp engine readings and adjusts the settings slightly ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Contemplates a power transfer to the ailing ship ::

Host CO Royce says:
Com: Toltec:  Hang tight.  We'll be with you shortly.  I can have a team beam over to repair your power and engines

Host Dresden says:
:: Studies the Vulcan doctor ::   CMO: Interesting facial expression, what does it mean?

CTO Horn says:
:: With not much else to say, keeps looking the new EO up and down ::

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: It is very hard to explain.

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: In fact I cant explain it at all.

Host Dresden says:
XO: If you don't mind, I would like to remain here for a short time.  I could return to the bridge when I tire of being here.

XO Kelson says:
Dresden: The doctor is a Vulcan.  They do not react with emotions like other species.  Therefore he has little facial expressions.

Host Dresden says:
CMO: I find you an amazing creature.  Would it bother you for me to watch you at work?

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Doctor? Would you be willing to take charge of our guest for a short time?

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: You may if you wish.

CTO Horn says:
EO: Where did you transfer in from?

CMO Blade says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

EO McCain says:
CTO: From the Trill Technical Reserves Base Alpha, Ma'am.

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to look at the Captain wishing not to interrupt but whispers ::   CO: Two minutes to transporter range ma'am.

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: Thank you, Captain.  We would appreciate any help you can give and feel free to join us on board.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  See if you can perform a power transfer from the Vesuvius to them...just to stabilize their systems.

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: I find you fascinating. Can I evaluate you medically?

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Very good...Lt. Shadow will stay as well.  Let me know when Dresden would like to continue the tour.  I'll be on the bridge.   :: Nods to Dresden ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  If you can, do so.

CTO Horn says:
EO: You never went to Starfleet Academy?

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

CMO Blade says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves toward exit ::

Host CO Royce says:
COM: Toltec:  Hang tight.  Help is on the way.  Royce out.

EO McCain says:
CTO: I did attend Starfleet Academy then I transferred to the reserves for a short time, ma'am.

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: The Vesuvius arrives within transporter range.  Sensors are able to read ship wide damage to the engines and computer core indicating sabotage.

CTO Horn says:
:: Nods head in understanding ::

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Listens, aware that a power transfer is very dangerous ::   CO: Captain...do you mind if I use sensors to monitor the power transfer...in case of a power hiccup which could cause damage to both ships?

CSO Lane says:
:: Notes the distance ::   CO: Captain coming out of warp, half impulse.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO: You have the bridge.  Bring us along side and hold position.
OPS:  Begin the power transfer when we arrive.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to her Ready Room ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Kelson to Captain...Dresden is taking a tour of the Sickbay with our good Doctor.  I am returning to the bridge...

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

CSO Lane says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters Ready Room ::   *XO*  Very good, Commander.  Have the CSO apprise you of the situation up here.

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Blinks...and attends to her duties ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Yes Ma'am.  Kelson out.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Walks to her desk and sits down.  Looks at the EO and CTO ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Siphons off power and configures a power transfer from the main deflector dish to the ship ::

EO McCain says:
:: Feels extremely nervous ::

Host Dresden says:
:: Picks up a hypospray full of chemicals and turns it over and over in his hand ::   CMO: What is this?

CTO Horn says:
:: Glares at the EO ::   EO: Don’t you know how to stand at attention when the Captains enters a room?

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters turbolift ::

EO McCain says:
:: Stands at attention ::   CO: Yes, Ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Raises her left eyebrow as she watches the EO and listens to her CTO ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Maneuvers the Vesuvius up to the smaller ship and along her port side and matches speed ::   OPS: We are in position Lt. You may begin the power transfer.

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: Please put that down.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Leans back and crosses her legs... ::

CTO Horn says:
CO: The EO is reporting as ordered Ma'am

Host CO Royce says:
:: Glances at the CTO and slightly nods ::

Host CO Royce says:
EO:  I am told you are the one who initiated the computer self destruct

Host Dresden says:
:: Raises an eyebrow and raises his hand, then remembers his agreement to try to behave and puts the device down ::   CMO: Of course.  How do these things work?

OPS Chaser says:
CSO : Aye, Lieutenant.

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters bridge ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks immediately to Flight Control ::

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Has sensors running a scan on the damage of the passenger liner ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Attempts power transfer to the ship ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: Something you need Commander?   :: Smiles ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: What do you have, Lt. Lane...

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: Chaser is able to access the Toltec's systems and transfer power to the necessary systems.

CTO Horn says:
:: Enjoys watching the EO sweat a little ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Half smiles but tries to keep his commanding façade ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Keeps her left eyebrow raised as she waits for the EO to answer... ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: We are matching speed with the other ship and Lt. Chaser is beginning a power transfer to stabilize their systems.

EO McCain says:
CO: I checked with Lt. McGregor before initiating the self-destruct sequence ma'am.

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sir-r, power-r tr-ransfer-r complete, necessar-ry systems now power-ring up.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Very well.   :: Nods to OPS ::

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: You see it works like this.   :: Pulls out a dummy ::   Then you put the point to the neck like so.   :: Puts hypo to the dummy's neck ::   Then push the top.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: What is the nature of this vessel?

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Takes a look at sensors ::   CSO: Lieutenant Lane. I have something on sensors...the ship's damage. It appears as if...it might be...sabotage.
:: Transfers the data to the CSO's console ::   Would you concur with my observations?

Host CO Royce says:
EO: You checked with the CEO....  I assume you were not in your right mind?

EO McCain says:
CO: I was just thinking of using the self-destruct sequence only as a way to threaten, Dresden.

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: Terrific, that's given us back control of most of the working systems and enough power to maneuvering thrusters to keep out of the zone.

CSO Lane says:
XO: She's a passenger liner sir. We have twenty five life readings aboard her.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Begins to regenerate power stores, maintaining transporter control and locks. ::

Host Dresden says:
:: Watches Blade ::   CMO: And what does it do after you inject it?  Sam told me that your bodies break down and are fixed here, is that what it does?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands placing her hands on her desk and leans forward... ::   EO: Bad idea, Ensign.  I am unaware that any one outside of those on the bridge would have known of Dresden's arrival....  Can you explain that?

CTO Horn says:
:: Continues to stand slightly off to the side as the CO addresses the EO ::

XO Kelson says:
COM: Toltec: That is good news, Toltec.   By the way, this is Commander Kelson.  I have the bridge for now.  Are you aware of how your damage was caused?

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: It depends.

Host Dresden says:
:: Starts playing with the buttons on the biobed ::   CMO: What's this for?  

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks up at Sam and smiles ::   XO I assume...excuse me sir.   CIV: I see it, and you're right it looks very suspicious.

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: Please don’t play with that.

CSO Lane says:
XO: Commander, you may want to check this out.   :: Points to the display ::

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: I find you fascinating may I evaluate you medically?

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: XO: No, Commander Kelson, our chief of security took a leave of absence and has been gone for 10 days.  Two days after his leave began things began to go wrong.  Many of the crew are new and few know enough about these old ships to keep them going.

Host Dresden says:
:: Nods ::   CMO: That would be interesting... and that way I can see how all of this stuff works.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over to the CTO, a glint of mischief in her eye... ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Accesses the LCARS database on the ship and begins to look at the
schematics ::

XO Kelson says:
COM: Toltec: I see...well we may have some information for you in regards to your ship.  Would you like us to send it along or meet face to face?

CIV T’Lara says:
CSO/XO: If we're going to send a team over... we might want to send some security over as well. There is unquestionably a logical reason behind the person sabotaging the vessel. We should interview the passengers.

CTO Horn says:
:: Looks over to the CO recognizing the look ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Glances at information on Hope's screen ::

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: Now if you will sit down on this biobed, we can start.

CMO Blade says:
:: Pats the biobed ::

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: XO: Either way would be good, but I would like to extend our hospitality to you and your senior staff as a thank you.

CSO Lane says:
CIV: Agreed. Inform Commander Kelson of your recommendation when he is free.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Works quickly on a patch from the Vesuvius main computer to the ships, and a way to reboot. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Commander due to circumstances surrounding our guest...what would your recommendation for the new Ensign be?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over to the CTO ::

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: XO: My name is Captain Emelia Lorenza, our chef is quite excellent and would enjoy cooking for you all.

XO Kelson says:
COM: Toltec: We would gladly take advantage of your hospitality.  I will have our Civilian liaison accompany me with the findings.

CTO Horn says:
CO: From my understanding the plasma manifolds need a good scrubbing

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Stands and walks to the CSO and XO, so she doesn't behave humanly by speaking across the bridge ::

Host Dresden says:
:: Looks at the biobed and then sits down ::   CMO: Now what?

XO Kelson says:
COM: Toltec: Send your coordinates to the Vesuvius and we shall beam over shortly.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Studies the computer spec's of the ship ::

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Lt. is their computer core damaged as well?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Gets an grin on her face and nods ::   CTO:  You don't think it too easy on her...I'm mean...   :: Moves from around her desk ::   ...first day on the ship and she is already trying to blow it up....

Host CO Royce says:
:: Leans on her desk, arms crossed ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Looks back at the CIV ::   CSO : I believe the CIV said it was, aye.

Host Dresden says:
<Toltec> COM: Vesuvius: XO: Gladly, Commander, and thanks again.  ::sends the transmission::

CTO Horn says:
CO: We would provide the tooth brushes, of course

CMO Blade says:
:: Scans Dresden with a tricorder::   Self: Fascinating, absolutely fascinating.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Continues to study the schematics not looking up ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   CTO: Make it so.  Have a security man on her to ensure they are cleaned properly.  Get the okay from Mac first.

XO Kelson says:
COM: Toltec: Our pleasure, Captain.  That's our motto.  To protect and to serve...Kelson out.

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to Sam ::   XO: Commander, their computer core is offline as well. I recommend that they come here until we can effect repairs to their ship.

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: Power continues to increase within the Toltec and their crew continues working on repairs.

Host CO Royce says:
EO:  I hope you will understand...I do not take it lightly to have someone else try and blow MY ship up

CTO Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

EO McCain says:
CO: Yes Ma'am

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stares at the EO ::

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: I cannot pick up any life signs from you, it is like you are not even there.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Glances at the XO a moment then back to her console ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Since we cannot repair their computer remotely, we will have to do it locally.  Ens. T'Lara is well equipped to handle such a job? Isn't that right, Ensign?

Host CO Royce says:
EO: See to it that it doesn't happen again.   Dismissed, Ensign.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to the CTO and smiles just slightly... ::

EO McCain says:
EO: Yes Ma'am

CTO Horn says:
:: Smiles back at the CO and follows the EO out of the Ready Room ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at T'Lara ::   CIV: Well think you can handle that?

Host Dresden says:
CMO: That is fascinating.   :: Pinches the CMO ::   As you can see, I am most definitely here.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Peeks over her shoulder at the CIV then quickly back to her schematics ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Leaves her Ready Room and enters the bridge ::
XO:  Commander...report

CIV T’Lara says:
CSO: I have had to handle worse.

Host Dresden says:
:: Snickers again and snaps his fingers ::   CMO: I couldn't resist any longer.

CTO Horn says:
:: Enters turbolift with the EO enroute to engineering to check in with the CEO ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Smiles ::   CIV: I'm sure you have.

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: Penguins appear in droves on all decks as the intruder alert klaxon begins to wail.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to the command area ::

CMO Blade says:
Dresden: I am detecting two hearts, one behind each lung, no stomach and no organs below the diaphragm.

XO Kelson says:
CO: Captain...I was just about to send an away team to the Toltec.  Myself, T'Lara and some security.  Possibly Commander Horn.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Check the manifest for spare parts that might suffice for repair of the ship ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks around as the klaxons sound... ::   XO:  Commander?

EO McCain says:
CTO: What's just going on ma'am.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Assigns quarters on Deck 8 VIP section for Dresden ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Hears the alert and looks around ::   All: Now what?

CTO Horn says:
:: Hears the alarms ::

CIV T’Lara says:
XO/CSO/OPS: Since it is sabotage, I would have to ask that someone joins me...and we are both equipped with phaser’s.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Goes stiff in her chair at the sound of red alert ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Sees penguins ::

XO Kelson says:
All: What the...?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sees little funny looking...animals... ::

EO McCain says:
:: Sees penguins ::   CTO: Is it OK if I punch Dresden?

CTO Horn says:
EO: Continue to Engineering. I need to get back to the bridge

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns then stands ::   All: Ok where did these birds come from?

CTO Horn says:
EO: I don’t think that would be a good idea

CSO Lane says:
XO: One of your jokes Sam?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Pulls her mane in front of her so as to keep it away from the penguins ::

XO Kelson says:
*CMO* Doctor...send Dresden up to the bridge, immediately!

EO McCain says:
CTO: Heading to Engineering.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Good.  Thank you, Commander

CO: Yes, Ma'am...Damage is being repaired but it seems to be sabotage.  Ens. T'Lara and myself were going to give them the information and help them with their computer.

EO McCain says:
:: Decides to check status of Dresden ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Hair on the back of her neck stands up as the stranger returns ::

EO McCain says:
:: Starts running system diagnostics on the engines ::

Host Dresden says:
:: Hears the CO's statement about Q's ::   CO: I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way.

CMO Blade says:
:: Turns to Shadow ::   Shadow: You may leave now if you wish.

XO Kelson says:
CO: I would like to go with T'Lara's request for sidearm’s and a security representative.  Maybe our CTO.   :: Nods to Ms. Horn ::
