CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: Excellent...   ::takes his seat in the centre chair::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
*CMO*: DeLindt here, got anything for a headache Doctor?
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
Bel`Vah: What? I don’t remember that at all, what is going on here ::tries to think of what happened down on shore leave but he can't remember, all he can think of is the pounding headache and why there is a Klingon women in his bed::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::access the ships database and tries to find a technical readout of the freighter they are looking for::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*SO*: How about no sympathy? ::smiles maliciously::
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
<Bel`Vah>TO: You will remember sooner or later, now you should get going to work and ill clean this pace up
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
Bel`Vah: Alright, but I’m going to get to the bottom of this ::scratches his head thinking of what happened and leaves his room, he heads for the TL::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
XO: Eta to location is 15 minutes
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::starts humming to herself while se checking engineering systems that she can from the bridge::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
*CMO*: That won't sort out the headache, might prevent a recurrence though.
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
TL: Bridge please
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She moves over to the Science station and looks at the displays, standing next to Enki. She looks down at the young Trill with a smile and then glances at her display:: CSO: Lieutenant, can you begin running long range scans, we need to know as the location of that freighter as soon as possible.
Taq’Fan says:
::enters the bridge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles:: *SO*: Where are you? I can bring you something... or just get it from the nearest replicator, I'll authorize it to your access codes.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::sighs and turns a round watching the bridge::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Sees Taq'Fan enter the bridge, rolls his eyes, that’s all he needs today::
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
::steps onto the bridge quite upset and yells:: ALL: OK, who set me up with that Klingon thing in my room ::looks around the room trying to see who is hiding a smirk::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::Smells something: Taq'fan: don't you have a Home, ambassador?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
XO: Ma'am, we've been running long range scans and so far it hasn't... ::her console begins beeping:: We've got a blip.
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She looks up and notices as Ambassador Taq'Fan enters the bridge. She nods to him once quickly and goes back to focusing on the Chief Science Officer::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::notes the arrival of the ambassador and pays little attention to it, decides to run some simulations on possible accidents aboard the freighter::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
:;watches the AMB::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
CSO: A blip is always good...::She smiles slightly and leans in closer:: CSO: Can you identify it at this range?
Taq’Fan says:
::looks directly at Exeter::  FCO: Home is merely a state of mind, Lieutenant.
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
*CMO*: The replicator might be easier, I wont have to take a turbolift - they seem to be a little rough today.
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
ALL: If you didn't hear me you people on the bridge who set me up with that Klingon? ::grabs his head as the pain is getting worse and worse::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::chuckles:: self: never saw my parents and other family as a state of mind.
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She notes the abrasive behavior of the newly promoted officer and lets out a sigh:: TO: Lieutenant, man your station. I'll inform you as to the evening’s events at a later time.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::rolls up laughing:; TO: you found her your self I believe Sir
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::reads some reports, and makes notes:: *SO*: Just request medication delta seven. ::taps in a sequence:: I've instructed to computer already.
Taq’Fan says:
::blinks at K'Nargh::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::shakes his head at his TO::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
*CMO*: Better send up something stronger for our delicate tactical officer as well.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at Taq'Fan's presence and nods::  Taq'Fan: Ambassador...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
TO: Suggest you better stop drinking for a while, Lieutenant
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
::nods at the XO:: EO: I don’t remember hooking up with any Klingon bah ::looks around the room and see Taq`fan:: Taq`fan: Not you again, why are you here, don’t you have something better to do then hand around on our ship? ::goes to tac2::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Runs an analysis on the reading:: XO: Composition and output readings match it to the class of freighter we're looking for... FCO can probably confirm by reading their transponder code.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
TO: I’m sure you don't Sir ..... ::laughs::
Taq’Fan says:
CO: Captain.  ::shuffles to the front of the bridge::  Might I enquire as to the nature of our reroute?  I was under the impression we were to attend a diplomatic conference on Yraxis 6.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*SO*: Yes, I can hear him roaring in the background. ::taps in another sequence:: There will be something for him as well when you get your "fix".
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::smiles inwardly and turns to his TO:: TO: Have you ever thought about becoming a diplomat?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at XO and nods at her to handle it::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Walks to a replicator:: Computer: Replicate my medication.  Authorization DeLindt Delta-nine.
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She nods once quickly and looks up from the display:: FCO: Lieutenant, coordinate with Science and identify that freighter. Plot a course to intercept. CSO: Miss Enki, I want to know how many people are alive on that vessel.
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
::grins at the EO and FCO:: CTO: Umm, not really sir, why do you ask?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::returns to his reports::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Gets the tablets, on a nice little tray, and takes one over to K'Nargh.::  TO: The doctor sent this up for you.  It might help the headache.
CO_Capt_Black says:
Taq'fan: We have new orders, Ambassador... it seems like the diplomatic conference has to wait....  ::smiles faintly::  we're instead doing something that's a bit more exciting...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::pushes a few buttons  and sets the ship to intercept, then checks it's transponder code:: XO: It's the Shmaa
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
TO: Just checking ::smiles and taps his console:: CO: Sir, I’m picking up traces of residual weapons fire along the vessels hull
Taq’Fan says:
::raises a "brow"::  CO: Oh?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Taps the buttons on her console to focus the sensors, then runs the advanced analysis:: XO: Curious.  While the ship's energy is stable and normal, there are no life signs.  Life support is still active.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::bites on her lip:; CEO: leasha to Dulcos
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: Oh and one question, you missed my promotion sir
CO_Capt_Black says:
::frowns and stands as he glances the CTO::  CTO: Can you identify those signatures ?
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: Not really a question ::grins::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
FCO: Thank you, Lieutenant. Estimated time to intercept? ::She begins to think at Enki's comment and looks down at her:: CSO: Any indication that the crew abandoned ship?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up from his desk and walks through to the main area of sickbay, not noticing its empty::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO, CSO: The tankers attached to the freighter are still stable.
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
::Answers his combadge:: *EO* Pièrre here, go ahead.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::checks his console:: XO: Estimate Time to Intercept is 2 minutes
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CO: At this range, only they are consistent with certain types of phasers
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
*CEO* Chief I’ve run diagnostics from here all is within normal parameter you want me down in ME
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CTO::  CTO: Very well...  inform as soon as you can identify them...
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
TO: Congratulations by the way, you will be after my job soon I think ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She pats Enki on the shoulder and goes back towards the command circle, getting ready to sit and coordinate the senior staff:: Taq`Fan: Ambassador, while I am aware that you hold special status aboard the U.S.S. Scimitar, I need to stress the importance of this mission.  My apologies if our senior staff is a bit...occupied.
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: Nah, your doing a good job, I would never be able to handle that, I’m still young and want to have fun ::smiles::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
XO: No indication of an abandonment... lifeboats are still in place.  I am reading traces of organic material aboard, but the readings are being blocked... could be corpses, but the readings are too faint.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::starts tapping at one of the consoles, checking the latest developments on the Altairian Encephalitis.::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::moves towards the main viewscreen::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
TO: I’m not quiet that old thank you very much ::shakes his head::
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
*EO* Good work. ::pauses for a second:: We still need to check those emergency lockdown systems down here, perhaps you could assist?
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: Older them me sir ::shows a big grin::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::looks at Xia amazed:; <whispers>XO: Special Status???
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
*CEO* be right down Sir err chief
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CO/XO: Permission to leave the bridge
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
::stares at taq`fan and mutters under his breath:: Self: I can't believe his still here, doesn’t he have something better to do?
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: And thanks
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
CSO: Can you identify the interference? ::She glances back towards Enki quickly, preparing to sit. She glances towards Exeter, showing that she disapproves of any status the Ambassador has, but knowing that she can't do a damned thing about it::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the EO::  EO: Permission Granted...
Taq’Fan says:
::narrows his eyes a little at Xia::  XO: I will remain.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::runs the phaser signatures through the databanks looking for a match, smiles warmly at his TO::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
XO: Looks like the source is... the metals used in the tanks themselves.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Taq'Fan: Just keep your trap shut and  don't interrupt us anymore.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at one of the readings:: Self: Interesting...
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
FCO: That a way to tell him ::grins::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
Taq'Fan: As long as it doesn't interfere with the operation of this vessel, Ambassador. ::She gives a smile, however gives a harsh stress to his title:: CSO: Radiation, or the hull's design?
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CO; thank you Sir :;exits the bridge
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
::smiles:: *EO*: Very well, Duclos out. ::turns around and walks towards the 'pool table'::
Taq’Fan says:
::closes his eyes a little::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
XO: Design, ma'am.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
TL: main engineering
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She sits back into her chair and puts her hands to her face, feeling a wave of pain fill her mind. She lets out a sigh and then returns her focus to Enki:: CSO: See what you can do to penetrate it, Lieutenant. Work with Tactical and Engineering if needed.
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: Ah, this headache is killing me
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Continues scans, just in case::
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: And I think it has been a week already
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::starts rubbing  his temple:: Self: Now where did that come from.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::taps a few buttons:: Computer: Display tabulated data and graphics on the results of test 14356 Delta. ::nods in agreement as the data flows across the screen::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::leaves the TL and enters ME :: CEO: Ens leasha reporting to her fav Place
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
TO: I did offer you something a few minutes ago.
CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Lieutenant, as soon as we're in range, slow us down and take us about 500 meters from their port bow...
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
TO: Maybe you should drop into sickbay when your shift is over
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Her head begins to throb and she cringes slightly. Pushing the pain into the back of her mind, she activates her interface, reviewing all the data coming into the ship's computer::
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
SO: Did you? I never heard sorry ::his head is throbbing::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Begins modulating the carrier beam, but no change::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::glances at the ceiling:: Self: Oh, great, they are at it again up there... I should shield sickbay.
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
::Turns head:: EO: Welcome home then. ::grins::
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: I don’t think its nothing serious, guess shore leave I must of had 1 to many or something, and don’t really remember
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::brings the tactical sensors to bare on the vessel and runs a full scan::
Taq’Fan says:
::opens his eyes again::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Takes the pills over to K'Nargh again::  TO: Here.  The doctor sent these up for you.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CEO: So what was it you wanted to do
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
SO: Thank you ::takes the pills::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CSO: You see anything interesting out there Ma'am?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
TO: Ahh yes the miracles of alcohol, I try to avoid it personally
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
:::looks confused:: CO: Aye, sir, 500 meters port bow :;and slowly realizes the pain has gone::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
TO: You're welcome.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CO/XO: Sir, ma'am, I can't penetrate the tanks at all.  Plus, the metal would interfere with transporters, as far as I can tell...
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
::headache starts to go away:: CTO: Ah that was weird, the headache is gone now ::looks down at the pills and puts them away::
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
EO: Alright, do you remember the ME emergency containment checks we planned during K'Nargh's test?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::turns back to his research data, trying to see if the results of the test will actually work this time::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Almost immediately the pain fades and she turns towards Taq'fan. Pushing the thoughts out of her mind, she continues on back with her duties:: CO: We need to get control of that vessel...if we could get a team aboard with transport enhancers, we could beam the entire load into our cargo bays.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CEO yep what was wrong with them ?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::looks at the TO and his eyes glance on Taq'Fan for a moment:: TO: Very strange... still I would drop into sickbay just in case
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
CTO: I might but it was weird, it was hurting one second then stopped
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::turns to the XO: Permission to take  a away team, ma'am ::smiles::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
XO: Ma'am, I don't think that will work... the cargo exceeds our capabilities, space wise.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::runs a scan on the interior of the Scimi, looking for any strange energy readings now and in the last few minutes::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Run simulation with the results of this test, and determine how effective it will be to counter-act the Altairian virus.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Hopes the XO will figure out that they have to go over and take control of the vessel themselves::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: Very well...  but I fear our cargobays are not enough to cover that load...  take a team over there, take control of the ship and determine it's cargo... we will move from there...
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Looks around the bridge, something is pricking his mind::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
FCO: Denied, for the time being, Lieutenant. We can't rush into this...::She sits in her chair and glances at the sensor scans of the vessel:: CSO: We'll need to take control of her manually then...
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
EO: Nothing, I hope... but the records show they haven't been tested at all. For all we know they might work perfectly, but then fail on the manual release and block whichever one of us that would need to get back in...
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
TO: Probably just one of those things.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
XO: give me a few engineers and two runabouts I'll have that ship on it's way, ma'am!
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
::shrugs it off and continues on his work::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CEO: Understood Chief
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Looks at the CSO, expecting orders::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::returns to his office as the computer happily crunches numbers::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Standing slowly she looks over at her staff:: FCO/CSO/CTO: Exeter, Mesme, you're with me...Lieutenant Enki, appoint yourself or one of your staff to the team. All of you meet in the main shuttlebay in 5 minutes... ::She taps her comm. badge quickly and speaks clearly:: *CMO/CEO*: Commander Xia to Lt. Commander Varesh and Ensign Duclos. Gentlemen, we will need you, or one of your staff in the main shuttlebay one in 5 minutes. Come prepared for a team.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::stops and looks:: CEO: err where do you want me to start with them .. Looks at him Suspiciously::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
XO: Yes ma'am ::turns to the TO:: TO: Off again, try not to blow us up this time... if you can help it ::smiles::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
XO/SO: I'll go.
TO_LtJG_K’Nargh says:
::grins:: XO: I wont
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
::Blinks:: CEO: You do? I hardly understood it myself ::smiles:: Okay, one of us will need to crawl into every jeffries tube that's adjacent to main enginee... ::hears the comm.:: ok, guess not...
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Is mildly disappointed not to be going, but happy to take over Science for a brief period::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Aye, Commander. ::gets up from behind his desk and walks over to where the medkits are stored. He places a phaser inside the kit, and checks that he has his various weapons and tricorder::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She nods to Enki and heads towards the nearest turbolift:: CO: Keep an eye out for us, Captain...::She lets out a smile::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CSO: Understood Ma'am.  I'll try to hold science in one piece.  ::deadpan expression::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CEO: Why do I get the feeling that would have been me crawling ::laugh:: saved by the comm. huh
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::makes his way to the nearest TL::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles::  XO: Will do, Commander...  good luck
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
SO: I know you want to go... you kind of just went on an away mission, except that was on the holodeck.  Next time I'll appoint you to go.
CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Black to Leasha, come in please...
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Eagles: You have sickbay, mister. I'll be away for a while. ::exits sickbay and heads for the nearest TL and the shuttlebay::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::started by the comm. from the boss:; *CO* yes Sir
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
EO: Probably... well, she said something about a team, so you're with me on this one. Let's go... ::turns towards the door::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::behind the XO Humming and smiling::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CSO: Don't worry - I understand Ma'am.
CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Report to the bridge, Ensign....we're a bit short handed here...
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::exits the TL on deck 3 and walks the short distance to the shuttlebay entrance::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::makes his way in the TL towards the shuttlebay::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::sighs:: *CO* yes Sir
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Hands the CSO one of the Science Away Tem packs he keeps on the bridge:: CSO: You'd best get going then.  Have fun!
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CEO: guess that means you get to go with out me chief
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::After a brief lift ride she eventually arrives in the shuttlebay. As she enters the main chamber she looks at the various craft arranged upon the flight deck:: CMO: Greetings, Doctor...
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Nods once, and leaves the Bridge for the shuttle bay.  Once there, she walks up to the collecting group of officers::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
FCO: Prepare one of the Runabouts and begin the pre-flight sequence.
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
::Sighs:: EO: Unfortunately... timing doesn't seem to be too good for us engineers today. ::Walks on::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::turns as Xia enters:: XO: Commander. I see we're braving the unknown together again. ::smiles slightly::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the SO::  SO: Continuous scans, Ensign... if you pick up anything out of the ordinary, I want to know about it...  ::moves towards the tactical console, taking a peak at the readouts of the freighter::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots along the corridor having exited the TL and arrives at the shuttlebay, checks he is armed and it is set to stun and goes inside, heading for the now warming up runabout::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
*CO* Sir I have been requested for the AT can you verify my orders Sir as to where you want me
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Acknowledged Sir.  ::Moves to Science one, and sets up his usual three-panel system. ::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::nods at his Chief Shuttlebay Engineer, he then stands back and looks at the nearest Runabout.:: XO: We automated the whole sequence, ma'am,  it'll be done in a  second
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
::Began walking towards the TL::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::walks with the chief:; CEOL guess there tell me soon where I’m to be
CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Go Ensign..
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
CMO: Yes, Commander...it would appear so. Let us hope this assignment is a little more successful. ::She smiles and heads towards the Runabout entrance::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
*CO* Understood Sir Will get the chief to send you and Engineer up
CENV_Lt_Heaton says:
::runs into the shuttlebay, preparing for the mission::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::follows Xia:: XO: Yes, no severed knees this time I hope. The last time was once too many.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CEO: guess I’m with you then Chief
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
XO: Permission to warm-up a second runabout, ma'am :looking at Away team Crew list:: XO: It'll be a tight fit!
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
CEO: and the Captain wants an engineer
CENV_Lt_Heaton says:
<EO_Grease> ::enters the bridge::  CO: Reporting as ordered, sir!  ::salutes stiffly::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She looks towards Heaton quickly and then thinks:: CENV: Lieutenant Heaton, I don't believe I recall calling you on this team...
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::heads towards the mass of crew attempting to get into the runabout and waits to see what’s happening::
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
TL: Shuttle bay
CENV_Lt_Heaton says:
XO: No, but the Captain thought it wise to remind you that, as Environmental Officer on board, I could come in handy right now.
CENV_Lt_Heaton says:
::grins::  XO: Sir.
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
::Steps into the TL as it arrives, having grabbed his away kit, then hears Leasha and holds the lift:: EO: Great ::smiles:: Must be stressful being way up the chain of command I guess... ::points up as if he was pointing to the bridge::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Grease::  EO: Take the engineering station, Ensign...  and reroute OPS Control to your console as well.... we need to monitor comm. traffic in the area...
CENV_Lt_Heaton says:
<EO_Grease> CO: Aye, sir.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
::grins:: CEO: would hate to be there
CENV_Lt_Heaton says:
<FCO_Monkey> ::enters the bridge and sits at his station::

Self: Breen, nope, Romulan, nope... the Kinwe do, and the Taq'uah... not forgetting ships of the federation
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: Shall I attempt to interface with the freighter's computers? I learnt a few hacking skills while at the Academy. ::tries to disguise the pun::
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
@::Grins:: EO: One could say so, yes.
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Scans the bridge, just as a routine::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@Outloud: Main Flight Deck cleared...FCO: Lieutenant, set course for the freighter, one-half impulse...CMO: Do your best, Commander. Enlist Ensign Leasha's aid if you need. CSO: Lieutenant, anything new on sensors?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@::glances at the CMO and then back his console:: Self: god what a geek!
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@XO: Nothing yet, Commander.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
@::raises eyebrows:: XO: your letting the Doc hack a computer ma'am what ever next :;grins amused ::

@::nods once and starts tapping away, attempting to communicate with the freighter's computers:: FCO: I can hear you thinking all the way over here... I'm not a geek.
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Puts his scans on one panel, the scans from the Runabout on the another, and a tactical view of surrounding space on the third. ::

@EO: After Mr. Personality over there, I'm your next best bet at pilot. ::sneers at Exeter::

@::Paying attention to the XO's words::
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@ALL: Team two will consist of Lieutenant Heaton, Ensign Duclos, Lieutenant Mesme and be lead by Commander Varesh...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@CMO: Hm, don't have you  on the active pilot list, commander 
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@ALL: Arms yourselves. My team will investigate the bridge, Commander Varesh's team will check out Engineering. We'll do our best to gain control of the vessel before checking out the cargo chambers. Keep alert, and watch out for clues as to what happened to the crew.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
@::taps her lucky spanner hoping nothing happens to her on this one ::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::enters a subroutine and has the computer do most of the work.:: FCO: That's because I didn't give you my logs.
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
@::Nods and feels to check if his phaser is still in place::

@ALL: Questions?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: Engineering?

@CENV: Yes Lieutenant? ::She turns in her chair to face the Environmental Specialist::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at Exeter:: FCO: I'll send them to you when we get back to the ship.
CENV_Lt_Heaton says:
@XO: Well, shouldn't I be checking out those towers?  I mean, that's why I'm here in the first place.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@CMO: you did keep up your annual flight hours didn't you?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@FCO: Of course, or the Dragon Lady will have my guts for garters. She was my instructor at the Academy and later my Captain on the Huron.
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@CENV: We will get to that eventually, Lieutenant. For the time being you will stick with your team. Our priority is to gain control of the vessel and determine the location of the crew. Follow Commander Varesh's orders. Once Engineering is secure, we'll check out the cargo.
EO_Ens_Leasha says:
@CEO: So when you seeing her again
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at his SO::  SO: Ensign, any abnormal readings, so far ?

CO: Nothing unusual as yet.  You’ll be the first to know if I see anything.
CEO_Ens_Duclos says:
@EO: Hmm? Oh, her... good question and honestly I don't know. She has her job and family down on that planet, and I have her address. So it'll be next time I'm in the neighborhood... I will write her soon though.
XO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@FCO: Understood...::She closes down her display and heads into the back, grabbing several Engineering kits, phaser rifles and wrist lights, pushing them into the main area:: ALL: Suit up everyone.
