Summary - Causality - it is defined as "Cause & Effect" wherein one object acts, and it's action effects all other actions and reactions following it...

Everything that has happened since Mikradoren has had an effect on everything that has happened until this day...each action, each reaction...all have a significance...

This is the concept of "causality." This will ultimately be the Scimitar's undoing...

CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::stands in the briefing room, a few days stubble growing on his chin as he stares out into space, his mind adrift in the vast blackness::
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
::Finishing his report on Lieutenant Don Delar::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::walks up behind Delar clearing his throat quietly:: CSO: I was wondering if I could speak to you....I wanted to apologise for my behavior a few days ago...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::in his readyroom, reading up on orders from StarFleet::  Self: Jeez... all that paperwork... ::glances at the timetable::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::wish his arms folded behind his back he makes no move, his eyes focused on the stars:: OPS: ...Have you found anything in your investigation?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The U.S.S. Scimitar can be seen outside of the main docking port of Starbase 657, attached by umbilicals and walkways. Engineering teams move back and forth, preparing to conduct extensive repairs to the slightly battered vessel.
LtJg-Karla-Leasha says:
::Sitting at the OBS table uncomfortably as normal grinning cause she’s got her ME back::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::sitting on his bed, killing some time before the briefing::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: walks down the corridor leading to the docking area that the Scimitar shares with Starbase 657, carrying a lone duffel bag and a bright brand new uniform. ::
ACMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Yawning, Kerak enters the observation lounge and finds a seat away from everyone else::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Those in the observation lounge notice that the lights have been dimmed lightly, and in one of the far corners two figures sit, a large man, and a significantly shorter woman.
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
::Orders a Cup of coffee from the replicator in his room and  heads to the OBS lounge::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::looks down:: CSO: Not anything conclusive...a few things...data fragments for the time period...nothing I'd be able to make sense of...your wife...she was a very gifted woman when it came to computers...I suspect the only person that could find it would be her...I was angry before...and panicked...what I said was far out of line...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::enters the observation lounge, taking a moment to glance around the room::
ACMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Yawns again and he notices two other people sitting in the corner, he doesn’t pay any attention and lets out another yawn::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::continues to stand deathly still:: OPS: It was...
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::slowly stands up, heads out of his room and makes his way to the OBS lounge::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::Looks over into the corner at the figures wondering if she should order full lights just for the fun of it ::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
*XO*: Black to Janan... meet me outside the observation lounge for a moment, Commander....
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::grabs his PADD's and moves from behind his chair to the exit of the ready room::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::taps on the table feeling fidgety::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: Steps on board.  Looking around in awe, walking up to the lone officer of the watch. OOW: Ensign Kamarov, requesting permission to board.
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
CSO: She's a hell of a woman...and we have...history...you would have done the same in my position I think...
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::makes his way into the OBS lounge, notices some crew members already at there place and 2 figures in the dark, he moves to the back wall, leans against it and waits for the start of the briefing::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the corner of the room before taking a seat::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::for the first time he moves, his head turning slightly to look over his shoulder:: OPS: No, I wouldn't have...
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Security Officer> ::Looks Kamarov over once and then nods slowly:: EO: You are cleared to board Ensign, the senior staff are meeting in the Observation Lounge, your presence is required.
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
:;watches K`nargh and grins:: TO: The chairs don't bite or they never used too
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*CO*: On my way ::gets up and leaves the room::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: looks surprised but nods. :: ScO: Aye, thank you.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::grins:: CEO: Just don’t feel like sitting today, also welcome back
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::exits his readyroom and moves over to the entrance to the observation lounge, nodding at the XO as soon as he sees her::  XO: Commander, you have the necessary items with you as arranged ?
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::looks away:: CSO: Well maybe you wouldn't have...but it's how I am...I was there from day one at the academy with her...I met her the first day when her father dropped her off...and he asked me to keep an eye on her...I lost rack of her after graduation...and I thought maybe it was my fault...not keeping better track...
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
::enters the Observation lounge and heads for his window to stare out the remainder of the briefing as always.::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
TO: Thanks ... well at least your blood will circulate normally then ..... or that what they say .. maybe its the other way a round ::looks:: Who knows I would never make a medic :;grins::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: walks onto a nearby TL, still carrying his duffle bag on his shoulder::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A work-bee drifts past the Observation Lounge window as Exeter looks out, and the technician inside gives him a friendly wave...
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::watches John and sighs:: FCO: Doesn't anyone sit on this ship any more
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::exits the observation lounge doors, looks blank at the CO for a moment her mind still in the room and then she looks at the box in her hand:: CO: Yes sir, just here.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::closes his eyes for a moment before turning to stare back out the window:: OPS: I love her...You wouldn't understand how much it hurts not being able to do anything, not being able to help when she most needs it, and then being accused of her attacker...you wouldn't understand...
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - With his hands off the controls, and his attention drifting, the tech notices as his pod drifts and he can be seen cursing as he bumps into the Scimitar hull - a slight thud can be heard from the deck plating.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: Very well, let's go then... ::gestures towards the entrance once again::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::stands:: All: what was that thud ?
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
CEO: I don't like sitting, love, you know that :;still looking outside and sipping his coffee::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and heads back where she had come from::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::grins again:: CEO: No problem, always glad to have you back aboard. Your one of the people I don’t really have an issue with, ::looks around:: what thud?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: reaches the deck the Observation Lounge is on...but soon gets lost getting there...stopping to ask passing crew members along the way. ::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Observation Lounge doors open and the two figures in the corner turn and notice Black and Janan arrive.
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
TO: I heard a thud
ACMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::doesn’t notice any noise, yawns again::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::looks up at the noise and shakes it off:: CSO: Look, I'm trying to apologise...I want to find out who did this to her...and no probably not as much as you do...but I'll need your help..this is difficult for me....and I could use a little slack here..without you hitting me...
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
FCO: You don't seem to have a problem on the sofa my dear
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::follows the XO into the observation lounge, glancing at the crew getting comfortable::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::for the first time he smiles, just a hint of humour before slipping back into his grim visage:: OPS: I will help you...sit down, the Captain has arrived.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
CEO: I didn't hear anything ::looks again and notices the new XO, gives her an unwelcome look and looks away::

::nods slightly and moves to the table taking a seat::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
TO; great now I am imagining things .. doesn't take long on this ship ::smiles as the CO enters::

::just raises her head a bit as she sees K'Nargh then proceeds to her seat::
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
CEO: I like sofa's Don’t like chairs, dear? ::still unmoving and staring outside nodding at the worker bee quickly::

TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
CEO: maybe I just missed it ::ignores Blacks comments and keeps on standing::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:

TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
EO: not here, so beat it ::gives him an unwelcome look as well::
ACMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Sits up a bit straighter, yawns slightly yet again::
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
TO: You take a seat, Lieutenant or you wanna be kicked into your chair!
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
CO: Sir I think we have a problem with the chairs in here
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::moves to the head of the table and glances at the TO::  TO: Lieutenant, take a seat...this is probably going to be a long one... ::smiles faintly::

Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the EO stumbling in::  EO: Welcome Mr. Kamarov, have a seat please... ::gestures to one of open seats::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: looks confused for a moment and drops the duffle bag...a very loud thump heard as he must have packed half of Starfleet in it.  He checks his orders. :: ALL: This is being USS Scimitar, correct?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::her attention is not entirely at the table, though she sits there patiently, only looking up once to see the TO standing::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
EO: No, its the USS K`Nargh, please leave ::grins::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
Self: great I have an Engineer who is not sure what ship he’s on
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
TO: No, Lieutenant... that's not all right... have a seat...
FCO-LT-Exeter says:

::grins faintly at the comments all around::  All: All Right... quiet down please...  ::sighs::   EO: Yes this is the U.S.S. Scimitar, Ensign...  take a seat and we'll get going...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: recognizes the captain from the Welcome Aboard packet he received. :: CO: Thank you Captain...I was hoping I had right ship. :: Smiles widely and takes a seat...FAR away from the grumpy Klingon. ::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:

::whispers:: EO: Wipe that smile off your face, don’t want me getting the wrong impression of you....do you?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles to the CEO, and gives the TO one of those looks which seems to question everything about him for a second, then turns her attention back to the CO, though not fully:: Self: I hate that feeling.

Host CJ-Tala says:
<Shadowed Man> ::Watches the crew interact and shakes his head slowly. Leaning over slowly, he whispers into the woman's ear:: Zin: You would think they would learn by now how to conduct a civilized meeting.
Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::Snorts::  Man: Civilized indeed....
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
::Nods to the temp. OPS::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::leans over to K`nargh whispering:: TO: seems you have some biting to do then
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:

EO_Ens_Kamarov says:

XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to OPS with a smile::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:

CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::Looks into the corner where the figures are wondering who they are::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:

CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Kerak marches back to the table and sits down::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::his head slowly swivels to look at the Captain, something a lot less than gratitude in his eyes as he stands and walks to the front slowly::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::watches the CSO intently::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Kerak examines his medal::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::leans up and cracks her back::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::Watches the CSO make his way over, and takes the opportunity to look back into the corner, fighting to remember, or perhaps there is nothing to remember::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO: Rowan, let me just say that all are thoughts are with Brenna at this moment in time, hoping for a speedy recovery from her condition and that she may join us again quickly to fill up that familiar place on the bridge once again. ::pauses for a moment::  On top of that I would like you to accept something on her behalf today…
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - In the corner, the two figures remain in shadow, both watching the proceedings.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: continues to observe all the interaction of the senior crew.  Looking more than a little confused. ::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:

CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::smiles at Delar sympathetically::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CSO: She will indeed... now get back here, Lieutenant... I'm not done with you yet... ::smiles::

CSO: She deserves it, I really hope she recovers, My best wishes for her full recovery ::first time there is sadness in his voice:: self: always tough to see them in that sort of condition
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
CSO: Your bet your life she will! ::looks at the CSO and nods to him::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:

::stops, and turns back to the Captain, the comments from everyone lifting his heart a little from the hole it's been dug into as he walks back:: CO: Sir?

CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::closes his eyes, taking a deep, quiet breath and hands to PADD back to the Captain:: CO: I don't deserve it...Not until Brenna is back...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO: I won't allow it...Lieutenant... you earned it...  ::hands it back:: that's an order...
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::stands up and walks over to the CSO and reaches out his hand and whispers:: CSO: Congratulations, if you need anything let me know, she will be back and she will make a full recovery. My thoughts are with you and with her ::after saying this and shaking the CSO's hand, he goes back to his seat::

:: in a louder voice just so the FCO can hear:: CEO: I hope they demote him, I really, really do
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
EO: Think so on this ship it can be hard to tell ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Lieutenant, in the past few months you have shown us that your qualities where not overrated when we appointed you as our Second Officer. Your service to the Scimitar and its crew has been exemplary and I see something in you, something that will take you high if you remain patient and give it some time.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks down and takes the PADD before turning and walking back to his seat, placing it to one side as he looks at the box in his hand::
FCO-LT-Exeter says:
::still unmoved not even flinching his face as hard as stone his eyes just staring at black right threw black::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Now without further a due, for your exemplary service to the Scimitar and its crew over the past few months I have the honor of promoting you to Lieutenant Commander with all the rights and privileges thereof. ::takes the black pip from the box and pins it on the FCO's collar::  FCO: Congratulations, Commander!

EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::whispers to the CEO. :: CEO: Is the TO normally this.....grumpy?
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:

CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Glares at the Vice Admiral::

TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::doesn’t even pay attention:: XO: You cannot tell me how to act, you just got here, now if you don’t mind I’m going up to my room ::turns and calmly starts to walk away::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::looks at the Admiral and sighs:: Whispers:: EO: think things are a bout to get worse
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  FCO: Very well... a good suggestion indeed...  ::sees Haydes arise from his seat and nods at him::  Haydes: Not at all, Admiral...  ::takes his seat::  All: Please everyone, pay attention to the Admiral's briefing...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::takes his seat on his face a small grin::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::stands slowly and carefully walks over and sits beside the CSO placing his PADD with his investigation data in front of him with Admiral Haydes name in plain view::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::looks over to Exeter smiling::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::is looking directly at K'Nargh as she speaks:: TO: Wait right there. 
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::Haydes makes his way towards the front of the room, motioning for Alina to follow beside him:: ALL: Greetings. ::He taps a PADD and a 3-D Image of the Mizani sector is generated over the Lounge Table:: ALL: This is the Mizani Sector.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks up from the pip and towards the PADD, noting Admiral Haydes name before looking to the man in front:: OPS: You have any proof?
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::watches::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: looks at the admiral as he gives the brief and cannot for the life of him get the image of a man in a red suit with a pitchfork out of his head. ::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the 3-d image and sighs:: self: we know..... we know too damn well
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
TO: I was hoping for a much more friendly meeting with this crew, but as XO regardless of how long i have been here it is my duty to stop you from doing what you have been doing in that meeting.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
XO: what is it now? I don’t have time for this little lecture. You go and run along with your little business and when your done ill be in my room, I don’t need this, you don’t know me, you don’t know my personality, now leave me be, I’m assuming your missing an important meeting ::turns once again and makes his way to his room::
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
ALL: As you know, the UFP controls a majority of the sector, Geminar, Mizani, Televon, Satai Delta...the other key power in the sector is known as the Airilian National Assembly...::The image zooms in on the far side of the map::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::whispers quietly:: CSO: He's the only one is this sector who's activities coincide with a lot of very important events...you know as well as I do that nothing can stick to this man though...this is why I suspected SFI involvement...and why I needed that confrontation with you at the station...misdirection.
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
ALL: The A.N.A. was first encountered 150 years ago by the U.S.S. Latoya during her survey of this sector. Relations between Starfleet and the Assembly have been minimal...and now they are calling for a diplomatic conference on their homeworld of Airilius...::The map zooms into a small star on the edge of the system::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks at the OPS full on, the hurt, the pain and the fear for Brenna's life in his eyes:: OPS: I didn't mean circumstantial evidence, Anderson
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
TO: There are plenty of way to deal with this and if you will entertain the notion of staying silent for the rest of this meeting, we can continue.
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::keeps his eyes on the Admiral:: CSO: This is why we need her back...she's one of the best in the fleet...that woman could hunt down any file she set her mind to...and you know it..a valuable asset..and a powerful enemy considering the paper trail someone could leave...
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
XO: I'm not going back in there, I’m done with this meeting and the briefing ::walks to his room, not paying attention to anything else the XO has to say::
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::Tapping a control button, the display behind him activates, and displays an unusual individual - one with 4 legs...quite humanoid...however quadripedal:: ALL: The U.S.S. Scimitar is hereby ordered to the Airilius star system, where you will escort myself and my attaché...::He nods to Alina:: to the diplomatic conference.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks back down at the PADD and pushes it back to Anderson:: OPS: This isn't about how valuable she is to Starfleet, this is about how valuable she is to me...I want her back, and nothing is going to stop me. Not you, not Haydes, not the entire damn Federation fleet
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::his mouth falls open::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::Sighs quietly knowing this is not healthy::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
TO: TO, insubordination does not go unnoticed, if you feel you must walk away from your duty, then do so, but it is not without consequence.
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::finally puts his medal back into the box and leans back::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::stops, turns around:: XO: I have been reprimanded once for insubordination, what’s another reprimand....what do you want from me?
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
CSO:I know that, but in order to find out how to get her back, we first need to find out who put her in this condition...I'm just keeping you apprised of my investigation...if you have no interest then I'll keep it to myself and save a possible security leak ::takes the PADD and puts it back in hi pocket::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
:;wonders briefly what she can cook up tonight to entertain the newly promoted FCO and grins::
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
ALL: The Scimitar will depart at 0600 hours tomorrow morning. Lieutenant Keind - errrr...Zin, will receive executive quarters on Deck 6, as will I. A diplomatic staff will arrive in the morning.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks back down at the pip:: OPS: I just want my wife back...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks around:: *XO*: Could you please Inform the TO he's to report to shuttle bay for cleaning duties, captain's orders!
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::He taps a final button and the map and display vanish:: ALL: You are all dismissed. Lieutenant Zin, Captain Black, Ensign Kerak, please remain behind...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
TO: Reprimands are only the start of what the CO and myself can use, now I am sure you are most valued on the bridge, and your input would be valued in this meeting. I would rather it stayed that way.
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
:;watches the Admiral for a bit::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: stands up and looks over to the CEO :: CEO: Am I having time to find my quarters before we get to fix engines?
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
EO: Well I guess I will let you get yourself settled and I will see you in ME 0600 Ens
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::looks over at the CSO:: CSO: That's only part of it...you want her back...and you want her safe....these people...we get her back...they might only do worse to her when she wakes up...if we don’t find them and stop them.
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::He waits and watches the crew:: ALL: I said, you are dismissed.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::turns back and walks by the XO, entering the OPS lounge once again, he goes and re-takes his seat by the CEO::
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::stands and heads for the door playing with a small coin in his pocket::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::whispers:: OPS: I want all quarters on deck 6 to be refitted. You'll throw Zin in crew quarters and the Admiral on the command deck.
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::gets up and heads over to Exeter:: FCO: So what do you want to do tonight to celebrate
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks over and glares at the Admiral before standing and walks out, headed for Sickbay::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods as K'Nargh enters the room with her, and looks at the people in the room::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Makes sure his medal is safe, yawns once more::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: getting stone faced drunk........ I was going to take three-week leave, but that's just been cancelled.
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::waits for the CSO outside the door holding a shining copper coin between his thumb and forefinger::
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
FCO: Without telling me.. I'm hurt ::walks off::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks over to Anderson:: OPS: She gave me a coin just like that...::turns and walks into the Turbolift:: TL: Sickbay
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::follows her:: CEO: Well, I was gong to have those three weeks  on your former assignment.
OPS_Lt_Anderson says:
::follows him:: CSO: It might have been this one...we found it in the shuttle...if you need anything:: tosses the coin at Delar::
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
ACTION - Haydes dismisses Janan quickly, and pulls Kerak, Black Zin and K'Nargh into a conference...what happens inside the crew are unsure...but the topic seems to be of great importance...
CEO_LtJg-Leasha says:
::Smiles:: FCO: Really
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::catches it and stares into his palm:: OPS: I'll ask her...::lets the TL doors close and whisk him away, back to his wife::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Was going to be a surprise, but you switched ships on me too fast!
Host VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
ACTION - Every action has a reaction. I wonder what will come out of today's events?
