Host XO_Black says:
@::looks over at the TO::  TO: Ensign, follow me.. have things to do...

CNS_tr`Loris says:
~~~CMO: Can you hear me doctor?~~~

CTO_Ahkileez says:

@XO: Aye sir  ::follows the XO, binging up his tricorder to scan the XO ::

EO_Leasha says:
@::enters ME :: Dref: Ta daa here we are Sir

CIV_Benson says:
TICTAC: keep those fighters informed on the Kinwe in case we need them

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Raises an eyebrow at the response:: EO: Nice to see you've gained your good mood. ::smirks::

@~~~CNS: Yes, Counselor. What can I do for you?~~~ ::walks a bit faster to catch up to the others::

CIV_Benson says:
<TTAC> CIV: yes sir

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: Sir...can I say it again that this away mission is a bad idea?

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Why thank you Sir .. it does seem to help so I have just found out ::smiles::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
~~~CMO: You've got 30 minutes to finish up over there. The Ritanai are on their way according tot the Ambassador.~~~

Host Taq`fan says:
CTO: No.  You may remain here.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::enters the ME:: ~~~CNS: Thanks, I'll inform Commander Dref and Black.~~~

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: Amb: Very good. ::moves to stand by the door::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
CO: I just told the counsellor our latest bit of news.

Host Taq`fan says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Ambassador Taq`fan.

Host XO_Black says:
@TO: Again noted, Ensign...  but we got more pressing matters as it seems...  If we don't get done here soon...we won't have anything to return too.. ::sighs and moves on::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Taq* Yes, Ambassador?

CIV_Benson says:
::switches over to the Sla'nista  to monitor the AT::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods, he smiles in response for a moment:: *CMO*: Tell me Doctor, what task do I require to perform to gain your presence with the EO and my self?

Host Taq`fan says:
*CO* We must make a move to the Faqat. The Ritanai are approaching.

CMO_Varesh says:
@:;walks up to Dref::  Dref: Commander, I'm right here.  Counselor tr'Loris just informed me that we have less than 30 minutes to complete our mission.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: So which system would you like me to start on first, Sir

TO_DuPont says:
@::Adjusts his tricorder in attempt to pick up any life forms other than the away teams as well as the energy dampening field::  XO: Aye Sir, if you'll follow me I've identified the fastest way to the bridge

CSO_Danann says:
@::walks up to Dref:: Dref: Commander...what should I do?...I’ve been left hanging like a spare peg...

EO_Leasha says:
@::Hears the CMO:: CMO: Well Sir, you know what they say about us engineers ... well if the bulkhead doesn't collapse that is ::Smiles::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Taq* Acknowledged. As soon as our away team has returned we'll be leaving the area.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Turns at the sound of the CMO, he frowns and shakes his head:: CMO: 30 minutes? Tisk. ::Shakes his head and sighs:: Okay, inform the XO and ask for instructions please.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::waits for Dref to finish with his conversation::

Host XO_Black says:
@::nods::  TO: Very good.. ::increases his pace::

Host Taq`fan says:
*CO* There is no time.  We must send the next team now.  My government has informed me of the co-ordinates of the Faqat.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Moves in front of the XO and starts of a jog, scanning his way forward::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::nods:: *XO*: Varesh to Black. Sir I have bad news. I got word from the ship that we have about 20 minutes to do our job and get back to the ship.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::shifts in his stance::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Taq* ::angrily:: Ambassador, are you suggesting I abandon my people out there?

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: How about propulsion Sir I’m sure the delightful CSO wouldn't mind helping me

Host Taq`fan says:
*CO* I am saying that I will lead a new team while you remain here.  Then you can join us.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::starts working on fixing life support to be shut down, and some other related systems.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::nods to the EO:: EO: sure thing... ::smiles::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Taq* I see. ::calming down:: Very well, what personnel will you require?

Host XO_Black says:
@*CMO*: Acknowledged... this makes this even worse...  proceed as quickly as possible...  I'll contact the Scimitar...

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Turns to face the CSO, he nods and glances around:: CSO: Seeing you've seem to be lost, I'll remind you of your duties. ::Gets his PADD, he opens the relevant document:: Ah, there we go. "Find and download all scientific experimentation via logs and physical evidence separated around the ship." ::Studies the CSO with mild amusement:: Okay?

TO_DuPont says:
@::Pushes open a half open door and walks onto the bridge:: XO: Were on the bridge sir ::moves over to the tactical console and creates an uplink with the tricorder::

EO_Leasha says:
@CSO: Ma'am you can do that from here if the commander is okays it I can call it up on one of the consoles

CMO_Varesh says:
@*XO*: If you can't get through, I have a telepathic link to the Counselor, sir. Will you inform the rest of the away team?

Host Taq`fan says:
*CO* Ensign Croft, Lieutenant Ahkileez, Ensign Benson, Counselor Tr'Loris will suffice.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::shrugs:: Dref: Sure ::smiles kindly::  should i help Leasha with propulsion too?

Host XO_Black says:
@*Taq, CO*: Ambassador, Captain... we're proceeding on our mission orders, but we seem to be running out of time... any last minute orders...?

FCO_Croft says:
::ears perk up as he hears his name::

EO_Leasha says:
@::starts to shut down the propulsion:: Dref: Propulsion shutting down Sir .. if that’s okay with you ?

Host XO_Black says:
@*CMO*: Will do.. Black out...

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Turns to face the EO, he nods and walks towards her::  EO: Okay. Let's start with the weapons. Hack into the ship computers please.  ::Turns at the CSO's question, he sighs and shrugs:: If you wish, but remember, more work for you.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Begins the upload from the tactical console, drums his fingers as he takes a close look around at the bridge layout::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Taq* Very well, Ambassador ::sighs:: Make whatever arrangements you feel are necessary. ::watches his senior crew dwindling to nothing::

CIV_Benson says:
::starting to get a little worried about the Kinwe coming in with the AT still out there::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO, CSO: Go ahead.

EO_Leasha says:
@::frowns at Dref:: Dref: I thought weapons were Tacs baby Sir ?

Host Taq`fan says:
*CO* Thank you, Captain  CTO: You will lead this team under me.  We must leave immediately.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::fixes life support for the final countdown:: Dref: I've got the shutdown sequence for life support ready for your command. Anything else?

Host XO_Black says:
@::nods once again at the TO::  TO: Very well.... I'll start downloading the necessary logs...

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::smiles:: Dref: Thanks for the opportunity, but I’ll stick to what I have for now ::smiles to EO and turns away::

EO_Leasha says:
@::shuts down propulsion and stats on weapons::

Host Taq`fan says:
::rushes out of the Ready Room, past the Captain on the bridge, and into the Turbolift::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::represses urge to refuse:: Amb: Understood. ::follows quickly::

Host CO_Winters says:
::heads over to his chair, and is nearly bowled over by the Ambassador::

Host XO_Black says:
@::moves to one of the operations consoles and begins downloading the logs onto his PADD's and glances around the bridge with a concerned look::

Host CO_Winters says:
::mutters something under his breath::

CSO_Danann says:
@ *TO*: You said you found the best way to the bridge, yea?

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::Watches the Ambassador:: self: and let's leave the scimitar empty?

EO_Leasha says:
@::sings as she glances over to the info being retrieved:: Dref: Tac Systems ready to go off line Sir ... is that okay ?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@CMO: Yes, of course, Doctor. ::Thinks for a moment, he nods and glances at the computer console in front of him:: Go assist the EO and the CSO if you may?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: By all means, shut down at will.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: And I do mean, just the tactical systems ::Grins, remembering last time::

TO_DuPont says:
@*CSO* Ensign, lock onto my signal and begin walking

CMO_Varesh says:
@Dref: Aye. ::walks to Leasha:: EO: Need some help? Or should I help Niamh?

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::Sighs and follows::

Host XO_Black says:
@::closes the downloads and turns to the TO::  TO: downloads complete here... have you been able to locate the armoury aboard..?  ::moves closer, securing the files he just downloaded::

Host CO_Winters says:
*XO* We need you back here in the next 15 minutes. Is there anything we can do to assist from here?

EO_Leasha says:
@::giggles quietly:: Dref: well sir you did ask me to follow orders this time, CMO: Yeah sure I need to get ready to take min computer core off line ... with out any mishaps this time Sir

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::feels out of whack right now...blames it on the icky ship:: *TO*: You are too kind... ::scans around and finds his commbadge signal and does what she's told::

CIV_Benson says:
<TTAC> CIV: Just to let you know there is another AT being assembled in the shuttlebay

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*XO*: Commander, everything checks out on my team. What's your status?

EO_Leasha says:
@::takes tac Systems off line::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
computer: Shuttlebay

TO_DuPont says:
@::Completes the download from tactical and moves across to the science console::*CSO* Ensign I’m downloading the data stored in the science console, I suggest you meet us at the armoury....::turns to the XO:: XO: Deck 6 sir section Omega 13

CIV_Benson says:
TTAC: WHAT,  at a time like this :: pauses::  your in charge, I’ll find out what is going on

CMO_Varesh says:
@::smiles at Leasha:: EO: Want me to take care of that while you start on the engines?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::rides in the lift, letting the ambassador off on the VIP deck before heading down:: *CNS/CIV/FCO* This is Ahkileez, report to the flight deck for an away team. Move quickly!

CIV_Benson says:
::exits the TIC into the TL::  TL: shuttlebay

CNS_tr`Loris says:
*CTO* I'm already on my way.

Host CO_Winters says:
::calls gamma shift to the bridge to take over the remaining stations::

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: There shutdown already sir Just the main computer core I think ... but I need everyone off the ship or in the shuttle bay so I can set the delay

Host XO_Black says:
@*Dref*: Everything is ok here as well... we'll be on our way to collect the weapons at the armoury shortly...  once you're done there...we could again use some extra pair of hands there...

CIV_Benson says:
*CTO*: I now sir, but I don't think it's a god idea right know, I was just on my way to see what’s going on…

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::sighs and nods to herself as she walks::  *TO*: Thanks, DuPont. I'm stopping over at the Science labs first...have to have a nose around there. Meet you in the armoury in a few minutes.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the lift as it stops and jogs across the deck, catching a glance at Benson:: CIV: Good idea or not, it's our orders. Get the shuttle prepped. I'll be there in a second.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*XO*: Should I set a time on the life support systems then?

CMO_Varesh says:
@EO: I see. Well I'll head up to the bridge and help Niamh then. We have about 10 minutes left.

FCO_Croft says:
::moves out of the bridge and gets into the Turbolift::

Host Taq`fan says:
::is stood in the shuttlebay, pacing::

FCO_Croft says:
TL: Shuttlebay.

FCO_Croft says:
::rides in the TL::

CIV_Benson says:
*CTO* understood

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Frowns, he turns as he hears the CSO:: CSO: And where are you going?

CIV_Benson says:
::the TL doors open and he exits into the shuttle bay and enters a shuttle getting it prepared and ready for flight::

FCO_Croft says:
::arrives on the flight deck and gets out of the Turbolift, making his way quickly, but with dignity, to the CTO::

Host XO_Black says:
@*Dref*: Acknowledged...we have little time...

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::Arrives in the shuttlebay:: 

Host Taq`fan says:
::watches Benson enter and start the shuttle, follows him in::

Host XO_Black says:
@::glances at the TO::  TO: Almost ready, Ensign ?

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::grinds to a halt and looks up from her tricorder:: Dref: Doing my job...as ordered,  sir?

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: Hmm hang on Sir it needs to people to shut down the computer core

CTO_Ahkileez says:
:;stands outside the shuttle, nodding at Croft and tr'Loris as they arrive::  CNS/FCO: Quickly!

CMO_Varesh says:
@::turns back to Leasha:: EO: Ok, point me to the right console then.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Finishes the download::  XO: Ready sir, packs the tricorder away and moves towards the door…

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::gets inside the shuttle::

CIV_Benson says:
Taq: This isn't a good idea with the Kinwe out there, what if we are caught ?

FCO_Croft says:
::gets into the shuttle::

Host XO_Black says:
@*CO*: Sorry to keep you waiting, Sir...  we're moving as fast as we can...  I don't think there is anything you can do except for praying.. ::grins a little::  we'll home shortly... Black out.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Smiles briefly, he nods:: CSO: Not alone, I want teams there. ::Thinks for a moment:: Ah. ::Turns to face the CMO:: CMO: Care to accompany and assist the CSO?

FCO_Croft says:
::Looks around, then heads for the pilot seat immediately::

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: if you want to take this consol Ill dart up to the bridge quickly ... ::points to the timer:: this should kick in before final shutdown

CMO_Varesh says:
@Dref: If you help Ens. Leahsa with the computer core, sir.

CIV_Benson says:
FCO: Shuttle prepped and ready ::gets up and gives control to the FCO::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Plots a course towards the armoury::

CSO_Danann says:
@::frowns at Dref when he's not looking::

FCO_Croft says:
::takes the seat::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::climbs in and closes the rear hatch, sitting across from Taq'Fan, looking around impassively::

Host XO_Black says:
@TO: All Right...let's move it.. ::moves out of the bridge and into the corridor once again, looking at the tricorder and glancing at the TO::  TO: Have you been able to determine the content of the armoury...?

Host Taq`fan says:
::sits in the shuttle::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@CMO: No problem. Off you go ::Turns to face the CSO:: CSO: My apology, but I'm not looking to lose anyone on my team. Okay?

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Sir permission to go to the bridge ?

CIV_Benson says:
::takes a seat next to the FCO::

CMO_Varesh says:
@CSO: Come, Niamh... we have a lot to do and no time to do it. ::takes her arm and pulls her out of ME::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::nods, but takes it as an offence that he thinks she can't look after herself::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::sits down in the back, concentrating on keeping an eye on the scimitar and other away team::

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: Umm sir, my scans reveal that its empty save for a box of material that the tricorder can not determine

Host CO_Winters says:
::watching the incoming Ritanai on the sensors::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Turns to face the EO, he raises an eyebrow in question:: EO: Whatever for?

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::gets dragged out of ME by the Doctor. Thinks, so it's 'Niamh' now, is it...::

Host XO_Black says:
@::frowns::  TO: That's odd...

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Sir it needs two people to shut down the Computer core One from the bridge one from here I’ve set this all up and I need to get to the bridge quickly to access systems there…

CMO_Varesh says:
@::smiles at her:: CSO: I know you're antsy on this ship, so I took a bit of liberty and used your name. Where to first. We have no time to waste.

FCO_Croft says:
%::gets ready to take the shuttle out::

CIV_Benson says:
%ALL: Is everyone here

Host XO_Black says:
@::moves along through a narrow corridor, then moving a few debris before entering a new corridor::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Is approaching the armoury::  XO: I've tried to scan it a few times sir, tricorders come up blank ::shrugs::

FCO_Croft says:
%::shoots the shuttle out of the bay::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods:: *All*: Anyone located on the bridge now?

Host CO_Winters says:
::watches the shuttle leaving on the viewscreen::

Host CO_Winters says:
::looks down at the countdown... 14 minutes to go::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks at him, had forgotten for a second that he was betazoid. scolds herself before telling herself to shut up he can hear that too!:: CMO: Main Science labs. I want to take a look at what they were up to...

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%::shakes his head at the shuttles speed even though he understands the urgency and goes back to his concentration::

EO_Leasha says:
@:Dref: Sir ?

Host Taq`fan says:
%FCO: I've programmed the co-ordinates into the computer.

TO_DuPont says:
@::XO: Here's the armoury sir  ::gestures to a an open door, raises the tricorder to scan the room once more::

CIV_Benson says:
%::turns to the CTO::  CTO: Now what is going on sir

CMO_Varesh says:
@CSO: Then lets get there. ::scans the corridor and starts walking::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% ::glances forward::  FCO: And get there at full impulse! We don't have time to waste.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Sighs, he nods at the EO::  EO: Go.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% CIV: We're getting to the other ships. We're racing against the forces that are on their way in.

FCO_Croft says:
%::shoots the CTO a death look::  CTO: I'm quite aware of that.

FCO_Croft says:
%::brings the shuttle to full impulse and sets course for the shuttlebay::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::follows, trying to keep her mind to herself as well as on the mission::  CMO: I don’t' need a baby sitter, by the way...I won't mind if you have other things to do.

EO_Leasha says:
@:Dref: Sir I’ll shout when I need you to start the shutdown ::leaves ME with tricorder and heads quickly to the bridge a little jumpy as she’s by herself::

Host XO_Black says:
@::looks into the armoury and steps in gently, seeing a box laying on the floor, taking out his tricorder to scan it once again::  TO: Let's see what this is...

CMO_Varesh says:
@CSO: I'm not babysitting, but if one of us gets hurt, we can't waste time to go back for them. Or have you forgotten our previous disaster?

CIV_Benson says:
%CTO: understood sir, all the tricorders should already be programmed to receive data…

TO_DuPont says:
@::walks into the armoury and approaches the box, pauses just before it scanning the box again::  XO: Aye sir ::looks for a locking mechanism::

EO_Leasha says:
@::winds her way along the corridor to the bridge::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::remains alone in ME, he glances around for a moment and sighs:: Self: Now what?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
%::ignores Croft and sits back against the flight bench, tapping his foot:: CIV: Get the weapons from the locker and arm everyone.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::scoffs:: CMO: Course not... ::keeps her eyes on her tricorder and marches on ahead::

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: Sir I'm not sure how to open this and quite frankly sir, I don't believe we have the time to try

CIV_Benson says:
%CTO: yes sir ::gets up and opens the locker and checks them getting them armed and hands them out to everyone::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::raises his eyes to the ceiling and squashes his irritation::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
%::takes his phaser and slips the holster on, checking the charge again::  FCO: ETA?

EO_Leasha says:
@::Enters the bridge and heads for a console and starts bringing up the info::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
% ::takes a phaser riffle, hoping he doesn't have to use the weapon::

Host XO_Black says:
@::taps his commbadge::  *Dref*: We have arrived at the armoury...it only contains a small box...  normally I would go for security protocols and such...but seeing the time I will scratch that...  Mr DuPont and myself will be heading back to the shuttlebay.. how is your progress...?

CIV_Benson says:
%CNS: Maybe we wouldn't need them but better safe then sorry

EO_Leasha says:
@*Dref* Sir are we ready to start shutdown sequence

Host XO_Black says:
@::glances at the TO::  TO: Indeed...we'll take it with us and examine it at a later time...

TO_DuPont says:
@::Hears the XO on the commlink and leans down to pick up the box:: XO: Aye sir

CMO_Varesh says:
@::walks along, hoping they reach the labs soon::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::ignores CMO, trying to make it feel like she's doing this on her own. Takes a sharp turn and walks into the Main science labs::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
% CIV: I know. ::Smiles::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::enters the labs after Danann and looks around::  CSO: Purge the science database and record what's here?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*XO*: We're waiting for you, the EO is waiting on the bridge. What does the tricorder say about the box, Commander?

CIV_Benson says:
%::after handing the phaser pistols out he takes his seat back::

EO_Leasha says:
@::waits on commander and glances around the bridge::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Hefts the box onto his shoulder:: XO: Back to the shuttle Commander?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*EO*: Standby, Ensign. We're waiting for the XO.

EO_Leasha says:
@*Dref*: Understood Sir

Host XO_Black says:
@::nods at the TO::  *Dref*: Scans cannot penetrate it and we don't have time to figure out how to open it...

CSO_Danann says:
@ :: shrugs, not looking at CMO::  CMO: Didn't say purge. Just download and scan... ::has a quick look-around and moves over to a console to check for recent experiments::

EO_Leasha says:
@*Dref*: Oh Sir once we have started the shutdown we have 4 minutes to get to the shuttle should be enough time don't you think ?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*XO*: Okay, give me the mark then and we'll get this party to a conclusion.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Exits the armoury and begins heading back to the shuttle::

CMO_Varesh says:
@CSO: Aye, ma'am. ::a bit sarcastic:: I'll download, you scan. ::walks to the console and has his tricorder interface with it::

Host Taq`fan says:
ACTION: The shuttle lands on the Faq'at.  There.  Happy?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% ::slides the shuttle into the gaping landing bay and lands, killing the engines and opening the doors:: All: Let's go!

EO_Leasha says:
@::starts signing to herself gain a listens to the echo::  Self: Wow this is fun

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*EO*: Yes, no worries. 

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::notices CMO's comment, ignores it. Is in too much of a strop to care right now. Reads summaries on last few experiments, then goes to scan the area::

Host XO_Black says:
@*Dref*: Make it so, Commander...we're on way back... ::follows the TO accurately::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% ::waits until the others are moving:: Amb: Sir, stay close to me please.

Host Taq`fan says:
%::follows Ahkileez::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::waits impatiently for the tricorder to finish the download::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods::  *All*: All the AT members, you have four minutes to report to the shuttlebay.

CIV_Benson says:
%::exits the shuttle with phaser in hand::

FCO_Croft says:
%CNS: Do you actually know where you are going?

Host XO_Black says:
@TO: Very good, Ensign... ::glances to the back, waiting for the other members to arrive::    Dref: CMO and EO are still missing...?

CSO_Danann says:
@ CMO: What a- ::was about to ask him what he was smiling about...but figured it wasn't worth it::

CMO_Varesh says:
@:;enters the shuttle bay, goes to the shuttle and gets in without saying a word::

CIV_Benson says:

EO_Leasha says:
@::Sees the TO smile at her and looks for a minute::  CMO: But of course Sir ... always the best way ::giggles and Smiles at the CSO: CSO: Did you find what you were looking for ?

Host Taq`fan says:
ACTION: A small glow is seen on Taq'fan's chest from  a pendant, and the door opens.

Amb: Yes sir, I'm aware. What can I do to speed it up?

Host XO_Black says:
@::glances at Dref::  Dref: Commander, if you would, could you contact the Scimitar and inform us we're on our way...  ::keeps his eyes on the navigational controls as they head back to the Scimitar::

CIV_Benson says:
%::gets to the 4 deck down and inters the corridor:

OPS-Exeter says:
::sitting back enjoying the peace and quiet::

EO_Leasha says:
@CSO: well everything is shutdown with out the bumps and scrapes this time so I guess it must be a bonus ::smiles and checks her toolbox::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::leans over to EO::  EO: Pity you couldn't lose the commander this time too... ::smiles, making sure she takes it as a joke::

CIV_Benson says:
%::finds the armoury and opens the door::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@XO: Certainly. *CO*: This is the first AT, Scimitar. Please respond.

@CSO: Oh he’s not so bad ::looks for somewhere to sit::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Dref*: Scimitar here, Mr. Dref.

Host Taq`fan says:
%CTO: Just do your job, Lieutenant.

OPS-Exeter says:
::looks at his console:: CO: Just a reminder, sir, Ritanai incoming in five minutes!

%::enters and goes to the consul and starts working the controls to shut down the weapons::

Host Taq`fan says:
%::presses buttons on the side of a tactical table::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::glares over for EO::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*CO*: Captain, the mission was a success and we're on our way. The team has done an excellent job.

Host CO_Winters says:
OPS: Plot a course to the other team, I want us out of here as soon as the shuttle is inside the bay.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::moves to the unfamiliar controls and starts to shut down the computer core, or at least thinks that's what he's doing as he occasionally keeps an eye on the door::

Host XO_Black says:
@*OPS*: Black to Exeter... permission to land...  ::brings the shuttle in on a low approach::

OPS-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, sir, Course plotted!

Host Taq`fan says:
ACTION: A holographic picture appears on the table.

Host CO_Winters says:
*Dref* Very good, Mr. Dref. I look forward to hearing all about it in detail.

EO_Leasha says:
@CSO: thanks ::sits down put her tool box on the floor and and puts her feet up on it::

OPS-Exeter says:
*XO*: Well, but only this one time :;smiles and opens shuttlebay doors::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%::stars working on the preps for the shut down::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% ::glances up at the hologram as it appears in his peripheral vision:: Amb: What's that?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::shuts the mental chatter out of his mind and does a few relaxation exercises::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::is feeling very glad to be getting off that ship. Looks around at the rest of the team one at a time::

Host Taq`fan says:
%::looks at the image, smiling::  CTO: This, Lieutenant, is all the proof we need to determine that the Ritanai are indeed planning to invade your Federation's space.

CIV_Benson says:
%::he finally gets the weapons shut down and locked out:

Host Taq`fan says:
%::gets out another pendant, and plugs it into the table::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%FCO: you're being awfully quiet

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::sighs out loud::

Host CO_Winters says:
OPS: Get us out of here the second they're back... and I want four photon torpedoes beamed into space at our current location as we leave - a little present to slow down the Ritanai. Set them to ten minute self-destruct, I don't want to leave any hazards for innocent traffic.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% ::leaves the computer to continue it's shutdown sequence and comes up beside Taq'fan::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*CO*: Understood. Captain, I just remembered something. I've been contacted by ME for assistance concerning a command decision and I don't have the required command access to assist. Would you mind going to ME and assisting them?

CMO_Varesh says:
@Self: I swear I'm building myself some form of shielding for my quarters.

CIV_Benson says:
%*CTO*: Weapons shut down and locked out sir

Host XO_Black says:
@*OPS*: Very good, Lieutenant...  ::carefully flies the shuttle and lands with a soft "dump"::  All: Let's move out, give all recovered data to the CSO, then man your stations... ::stands from his seat, powering down the shuttle::

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: Sir until we know more about the box we found in the armoury I recommend we keep it in stasis, perhaps the Ambassador will be able to identify it?

EO_Leasha says:
@::looks down at the front of the shuttle wondering to herself ::

Host Taq`fan says:
ACTION: Red alert.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
%::taps his badge, looking at the picture::  *CIV*: Excellent work. Contact tr'Loris and see if they're done in Engineering, then get down to the shuttlebay.

OPS-Exeter says:
CO: Ritanai are on the edge of the Nebula, sir!

CMO_Varesh says:
::hands his tricorder to Niamh without a word and exits the shuttle::  XO: I'll be in sickbay, sir.

CIV_Benson says:
%*CNS* How are things going with you two, get done yet

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%::starts pushing buttons to start the shutdown::

Host Taq`fan says:
ACTION: Red alert also sounds on the Faq'at

EO_Leasha says:
::Looks at commander Dref wondering if he’s on about her sickbay::

CSO_Danann says:
 ::looks up just in time to catch CMO's tricorder, thinks...oh, so now he's stroppy with me? That's rich!::

Host XO_Black says:
::nods at the TO::  TO: Very well.. see to it, Ensign..

Host CO_Winters says:
OPS: Get us out of here, maximum warp. I'll handle the torpedoes ::runs over to the TAC console and inputs the commands::

Host XO_Black says:
::nods at the CMO and heads out of the shuttle as well::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%*CTO* Nearly there. just started the shut down. self; ::Quietly:: I hope.

CMO_Varesh says:
::almost bursts out laughing at Danann's thoughts sitting in her public mind. Exits the shuttle bay and heads for sickbay::

TO_DuPont says:
@::taps a few consoles and transports the box directly from a the portable stasis unit on the shuttle to a permanent stasis unit in the science labs::

CSO_Danann says:
::collects the rest of the tricorders beside TO's and puts them in her science kit bag:: TO: Tricorder?

OPS-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, Setting escape course and warping out, sir!!!! ::sets the ship at warp directing standard escape course::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Dref* I'm on my way now.

EO_Leasha says:
::exists the shuttle and makes her way to the bridge::

EO_Leasha says:
::still humming to herself::

CMO_Varesh says:
::after a short TL ride enters sickbay and has his staff ready for anything::  *CO*: Varesh to the Captain. Sickbay is ready, sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
::heads off to the TL::

CIV_Benson says:
%::hears the red alert going off and gets back on the control to see what is going on::

Host XO_Black says:
::exits the shuttlebay and runs into the nearest TL as he hears the red alert::  Self: Great, just great...  TL: Bridge !

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% *CNS*: We'll have to hope right now. If it's on it's way, then get back to the shuttlebay. ::note the blinking::

TO_DuPont says:
::exits the shuttle and heads towards the nearest TL::  EO: Hey Karla, how’s my upgrade on the torpedo firing sequence coming on?

Host CO_Winters says:
OPS: You have the bridge until Mr Black arrives.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
% Amb: do you have everything you need, Ambassador?

Host CO_Winters says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Main Engineering.

CSO_Danann says:
::follows TO:: TO: Hey, DuPont...tricorder?

OPS-Exeter says:
:;grunts: CO: Aye, aye, sir ::takes centre seat::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%::hits one last button:: FCO: Okay let's head back to the shuttle. That's it.

CIV_Benson says:
%*CTO* We need to hurry sir, I checked the sensors and they are coming in…

EO_Leasha says:
::turns to here the TO:: TO: Oh so that was what the smile was for huh ?  ::enters the TL and holds the doors for the TO::

FCO_Croft says:
%CNS: Understood...

Cmdr_Dref says:
::Watches the AT head to the bridge, he sighs and rushes towards the second TL::

Host XEN_El`Aziz says:
::notices Dref turn off from the main group, and cautiously follows him into the corridor, trying not to be noticed::

TO_DuPont says:
::Thrusts the tricorder into the CSO's hands and enters the TL with the EO:: TL: Bridge!

Host CO_Winters says:
::exits the TL into ME::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%::Heads for the ships shuttlebay, keeping track of the shut down on his tricorder::

Host XEN_El`Aziz says:
ACTION: El Aziz is felled by a double punch, and knocked out cold

TO_DuPont says:
EO: Thanks... so I'll expect you'll have finished my upgrades then?

OPS-Exeter says:
::looks at the viewscreen, ordering a tactical officer too scan the Ritanai vessel if possible::

CSO_Danann says:
::takes it and glares at TO for being so rude:: TO: Thank you, Ensign... ::makes her way down to a separate TL to make her way to the bridge::

Host XO_Black says:
::exits the TL as the doors open and steps onto the bridge, glancing at the officers present::  OPS: Report !

CIV_Benson says:
%::turns and runs back for the ladder so he can get to the shuttle fast::  *CTO*: We need to get out of here…  *CNS*: You finished yet, we got to move…

EO_Leasha says:
TO: Truth be known I’ve not had a chance to really look at them, but at a quick glance I cannot see any problem as of yet ... my we are in a Hurry to get them done aren't we ::smiles::

Host XEN_El`Aziz says:
%<Taq'fan> CTO: Nearly.  Two more minutes.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
%*CIV* Yep, moving to the shuttle.

OPS-Exeter says:
::looks at black:: XO: Ritanai vessel inbound, CO gave the order too warp out…

CSO_Danann says:
::enters separate TL::  TL: Bridge...

TO_DuPont says:
EO: Well that extra torpedo may just save our bacon....::exist the TL onto the bridge and activates TAC1::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
*CIV*: I know, Ensign! ::let's a little anger bleed into his voice:: Get the shuttle prepped. We'll leave as soon as the ambassador and I arrive.

Host XO_Black says:
::nods::  OPS: Then make it so... his orders are still stand…

OPS-Exeter says:
XO: Aye ::looks back too the viewscreen::
