Summary - The U.S.S. Scimitar is currently en route to their home base of Starbase 657, with the Nova Class U.S.S. Eridanus in tow. The battered Science Vessel has been rescued from the Keh'lin Nebula, with her crew currently aboard the Scimitar.
A variety of strange occurrences have taken place since the crew saved the Eridanus - including flashbacks, memory loss...and confused identities. Who is this Lt. Commander Marie Matisse on record, and what has happened to Nina Haydes and Dylan Foresight?
As their former Chief Engineering Officer, Ensign Kamarov continues to complete massive repairs aboard the U.S.S. Eridanus, a new CEO, Lieutenant JG Harris finds himself en route to the Scimitar, aboard a vessel they all will learn to hate...
The General has arrived, and his Trojan Horse is now at his side...

@::gets up and walks around my quarters::

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@::Lieutenant Delar moves along the corridors of the Iliad and walks up to the guest quarters. He glances at the name on the door and presses the chime to Harris' room::

CTO: Sounds good.  ::Gets up from his chair, stretches and walks to the replicator:: Replicator: Coffee, Black, Two sugars.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@::come in::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the door and gets his jacket before he opens the door::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Walks over to a computer terminal and puts the PADD down on top of it, he finds a seat and busies himself with the computer::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Picks up his Coffee and goes back to his chair::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He studies the PADD and returns it to his desk, as he leaves his office again::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::the surprise vanishes, a more serious look replaces it:: CIV: Captain, do you have a moment, I wished to discuss the Starfleet command records with you Sir.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@Delar: Hello sir, nice to meet you. ::Extends hand::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Eridanus: What is your current situation?

ACTION - A console on the bridge beeps, long range sensors are picking up a Starfleet transponder signal.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::picks up the signal on his console::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Walks over to Kerak and watches over his shoulder at the computer he is working on::

Commander Xia says:
COM: XO: This is the Eridanus - repairs are well underway. We should be running on our own power by the time we arrive at space dock...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Commander, I have a Starfleet Transponder signal on sensors.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@Delar: Hello sir, nice to meet you.  ::Extends hand::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Grumbles:: CMO: I find that really annoying sir, please don't.

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@::He ignores the attempt at a hand shake and looks into Harris' eyes:: CEO: I do not shake hands as your Terran custom demands. I have been requested to bring you up to speed on the U.S.S. Scimitar and her current assignment.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Xia: That sounds good.  Keep me informed of anything you need, Commander.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Smiles:: MO: Sorry, just wondering what you were doing. But since I got your attention, I could use your help, if you are not to busy. ::points at the computer::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@Delar: yes sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Location?  Is it a distress call?

Commander Xia says:
COM: XO: How about a nice new vessel, Commander, can you conjure that one up?

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Sighs and turns off the computer and turns to the CMO: CMO: Yes?

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::takes a step back and gestures to the couch in his living room::  CO: Have a seat, Commander... would you like something to drink ?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
MO: You see the Delars over there? Have you read the report on their conditions?

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: No, I've been preoccupied

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Just an incoming ship Commander, about 3 Light years away on an intercept course.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head:: CIV: No thank you. ::takes a seat and turns to him thoughtfully::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::sits up and checks speed and heading::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@COM: Xia: If I could, The Scimitar would be a Sovereign by now!  ::Laughs a little::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: On Screen.  And identify it please.

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@::Lon Delar holds out a PADD for Lieutenant Harris to take, still standing near the entrance of his quarters:: CEO: The U.S.S. Scimitar is an Akira Class vessel under the command of Commander Karida Janan, under the supervision of Vice Admiral Darek Haydes, Starfleet Intelligence.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::overhears the XO and shakes his head:: self: Sovereign, sure.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: I'm on it Commander. 

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: MO: Okay, in short then. It appears they are in a similar stasis as the Eridanus crew was, when we found them. But I haven't been able to confirm that.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@:: takes the PADD and looks at it::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@Delar: I am sorry please come in.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Hears the FCO's comment and decides not to rise to the bait::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Picks up his PADD from atop the computer and punches in some data and grunts at the CMO in the way of a reply::

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@::Delar takes a few steps forward and looks at the spartan temporary quarters:: CEO: The Scimitar's base of operations is Starbase 657, which is located in the Satai Delta Star System, in Mizani Sector...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: It's a New Orleans Class Commander, USS Iliad, Vice Admiral Darek Haydes in command

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Patiently waits for a more decent reply from the MO::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Time to intercept 10 minutes.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Haydes, aren't we supposed to go to red Alert and blow him out of space, sir?

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Very quietly:: Self: Not again....  ::Normal voice:: *CO*: Captain, I thought you'd like to know, We're being approached by the USS Illiad, currently three light-years away::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CIV: What do you know about the records which put Foresight on an entirely different mission?

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::takes a seat and leans back, waiting for the CO to ask her questions::  CO: So Commander.... shoot...  ::smiles::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: Now, now Ensign.  Much as we might be tempted, that would probably be insubordination.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Continues pressing buttons on his PADD::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Just following  my predecessors advice, sir

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks over Kerak's shoulder again, trying to see what he is doing on his PADD:: Out loud: Ahem

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head and looks to the CO not as friendly as usual, and sighs:: *XO*: Thank you, I'll be with you momentarily.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Sighs:: CMO: What?

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@CEO: You will discover upon boarding the Scimitar that she has been slightly modified from the traditional internal configuration of an Akira Class Design. On Deck Two, members of the Corp. of Engineers have designed and constructed a Fleet Command Center inside the Deck, composing of a half dozen different offices and conference rooms.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
MO: Perhaps you would like to take a look at the data we have been able to gather up till now. ::Points to his office::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, Captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: I believe that is what they call a CLM at the Academy.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Pockets his PADD and walks into his old office without acknowledging the CMO::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::shakes his head::  CO: Great, the boss is coming to see how things are going, huh..

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::turns to Black:: CIV: Care to greet him, this should prove interesting ::smiles although she should not it is somewhat ironic Haydes has this outcome::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Follows the MO to his office and walks directly to his desk::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Watches the display screen, waiting for the Illiad to come within hailing range::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: I've been an Ensign since SD 102XX.XX sir your really think I would give  a hoot :: flashes a  wicked grin::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@Delar: Sir when will we be arriving with the Scimitar.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CO: Probably... work with the boss or get fired it seems to be these days... ::sighs and again and gestures to the exit of his quarters::  after you, Commander...  ::picks a few PADD's and straightens his uniform and collar::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He takes the PADD but before handing it to Kerak, his face turns to a very serious look:: MO: There's something I want you to know Kerak.

ACTION - As Abmeraz and Kerak enter the office, the rear display console activates. Without warning, text begins popping up on the screen in random locations, "D'Aurayen" "Delar" "The Enemy" "Destruction" "...will burn" "The Shimmering Blade" "Airilius" "Haydes" "Bryn" "sadness" "Oh god..."

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: I was 30 before I made Ensign.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CIV: I see ::nods:: Sometimes we get stuck in situations that are not entirely agreeable ::thinks back to Admiral Wolfe and Haydes, then turns her attention to the CIV again:: When he leaves there may be a few details of this mission that we could run through ::gets up and heads to his door::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: and that's why you’re stuck on the Scimitar as XO, sir :: grins::

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@CEO: We should be arriving momentarily. ::He motions for the pair to leave the quarters:: CEO: The Iliad is currently on a rendezvous course with the Scimitar.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: Well, perhaps I should add that I was 26 when I started at the academy.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@:: grabs my big bag and picks it up::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@::follows Delar::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::follows the CO out of his quarters and into the nearest TL::  CO: No Problem, Commander...  I'm free this afternoon... I enjoyed our holodeck session earlier on... we should do it again sometime.

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@::He exits the temporary quarters and heads down the corridor. As he does, he walks by many officers in the black Starfleet Intelligence garb, and into a lift::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Ignores the CMO and stares at the Screen:: CMO: What in the gods’ names is that? ::points at the screen::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@:: enters the lift::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods and smiles to him still not entirely sure of his loyalties:: CIV: This afternoon it is then.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Miracle you survived for so long ,sir, most stuff they teach at the Academy is better forgotten about three months after graduation.

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@CEO: As a note, the Scimitar's next mission shall be what you Terran's call a "walk in the park" - it should give you time to acclimatize to your new assignment.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: In some ways, I have to agree.  Life out here is different from life at the academy.  Personally, I prefer it out here.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::goes for another coffee::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  TL: Bridge !  CO: Now let’s see what the boss has to say, hopefully he can shed some light on this situation.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Attempts to restrain from looking at the screen:: MO: I know we haven't gotten along too well lately. But we need to work together on this. I need your help.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: What do you think about life out here?

ACTION - The Scimitar receives a communiqué from the Iliad...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CO, as the doors open she steps onto the bridge, looking over the people there and turning to the XO:: XO: Report please?

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Personally I prefer  Risa or some other 'relax' planet. But then again I'm an Exeter by nature so the calling would start very soon to return.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@Delar: yes sir.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Sighs:: MO: Look, I have to things you can work on. I promise you, that, which ever you choose, you can work on alone. I won't bother you with that, okay?

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Frowns:: CMO: Just look will you, I'm sure the screen is not supposed to be saying 'Oh God' and 'Shimmering Blade'!

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: All is quiet on the Western front, Captain.  ::Sees the light blink, indicating an incoming hail::  CO: And we have the Illiad Hailing us.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Who me Commander? Let's just say I'm used to it, my father used to run a Freight shipping firm.

ACTION - The words fade away from the screen which goes black once more.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to him with a smile back towards Black:: XO: On screen please. Let’s see what he wishes to say.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::follows the CO out of the TL and remains in the back of the bridge, observing the bridge crew and waiting for Haydes to arrive::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Transfers the hail to the main screen.::

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@::The turbolift stops at the appropriate location and Delar gets off - oddly enough, Harris notices he never even told the computer where to go, it just went...::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Ignores the response of the MO and starts to browse through his PADD:: MO: You can either work on the Delars, or you can try to create an inhibitor to help against the Dreamscapes.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@::gets off::

ACTION - The image of an older Terran man appears on the view screen - it appears as if he's in a transporter room. He is flanked by two security officers...

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
COM: CO: Greetings, Commander Janan.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: This is pathetic! The screen was showing some weird stuff and you ignore me. I'm almost glad I'll be leaving this forsaken ship! ::Storms out of his old office and out of the sickbay::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@:: scratches head::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks shocked as Kerak leaves::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::straightens herself up as she sees that all too familiar face:: COM: Haydes: Admiral Haydes, an unexpected surprise. ::smiles slightly::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Observes the various responses to Haydes' appearance on screen::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Mutters and swears to himself as he makes his way to the turbolift::

ACTION - Without acknowledging the Lieutenant's confusion, Delar enters the Iliad's transporter room and nods to Vice Admiral Haydes. The Scimitar crew can see Delar and their new Chief Engineer enter the room.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::wondering if mooning the Admiral would be fun::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::ponders sending for a couple of his own security guys::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Turns to look at the screen, but sees nothing out of the ordinary:: Self: Hmmm, I'll have to keep an eye on him, but there are more important things right now.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Recognizes Harris from the Seleya and smiles a little::

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
COM: CO: If you checked Fleet Movement Reports more often, Captain, my location might not surprise you as often. Prepare for myself and my personnel to beam aboard.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@::gets on the pad::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Calls for the turbolift, he walks in and slams his fist against one of the walls and yells::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::whispers:: XO: I could muck about with the transporter, sir.

ACTION - In the bottom corner of the screen Zoran Abmeraz' eye catches sight of a single word..."Help..."

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::watches the Admiral and the other two enter:: COM: Admiral Haydes: As you wish.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::raises an eyebrow at Haydes' comment and looks at the floor, then up at the view screen again::  Self: How typical...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Shoots an amused look at Exeter::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::whispers:: XO: Just beam him over in his birthday suit, sir

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
CIV: Prepare the Fleet Center, we have much to discuss. CO: I will be aboard in three minutes, Commander, you had best have something good to report to me.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::As he tries to leave the office, he does notice something weird about the screen and turns around to take a better look at it::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
TL: Deck 6, Crew Quarters. ::He paces the small space of the Turbolift as it speeds up to his deck::

ACTION - The communication ends abruptly.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::whispers:: FCO: That's a sight I would rather not have to endure.  Let's just keep his clothes on please.  ::shudders slightly::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods and says quietly but those close can hear:: Self: Oh it's certainly good, sir. ::smiles to herself for a moment::

Lieutenant_Lon_Delar says:
@::Delar motions for Harris and the security officers to get onto the transporter pad and he looks over at Haydes:: Haydes: He will do.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::whispers:: XO: Only person who would see it would be the TR chief and his men, sir

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*CMO*: Anything new to report?

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::fiddles with the weapons configuration:

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::as he doesn't get the chance to reply to Haydes he quickly turns and heads into the TL::  TL: Transporter Room 1...

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
@::gets onto the transporter pad::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Notices the CO eyeing her chair and walking around the bridge:: CO: Anything wrong Captain?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::As he looks closer he can just barely make out the word "HELP" as it fades from the screen:: Self: What's this? Perhaps Kerak did see something after all.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::The TL stops and he stomps down to his quarters, he walks in and walks around the scattered bags on the floor and heads towards a couch::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::turns to the CIV, opens her mouth to speak as she watches the doors close::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
:: Wonders when they arrive at SB 657::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: I have a status report inbound from the Iliad Commander.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::He sits down with a huff::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Relay it to my console...

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::With his thoughts still at the screen he answers the CO:: *CO*: I'm sorry ma'am ::pauses for a moment:: nothing new to report yet.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head to the XO:: XO: Not at this time.

ACTION - Haydes and Delar both get onto the transporter pad next to the other three officers. As they do, the U.S.S. Iliad rendezvous with the Scimitar, and begins to fly along-side her, matching course and speed. In a shimmer of blue light Lieutenant Harris and his other companions beam into the Scimitar transporter room.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::relays the downloading information:: XO: On its way.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Permission to go to warp 8 and cut something off our 5 hour journey, sir.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*CMO*: Thank you. ::leaves the bridge, for the transporter room::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::exits the TL and enters transporter room 1, nodding at the people that have just beamed over::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Fidgets around for a bit and stands back up, he paces his room for a few minutes then storms back out into the corridor::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks thoughtfully at the FCO::  COM: Eridanus: Commander Xia, what is the maximum speed your ship can safely maintain?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He rubs his eyes again and looks at the screen, but there's nothing strange about it now. He turns around and walks out of his office towards the Delars:: Self: I have to apologize to Kerak later and ask him what it was he saw on that screen.

Commander Xia says:
COM: XO: Ummm...::She can be seen glancing at a display in the very battered Engine Room:: Structural Integrity is holding...we should be able to maintain warp 6.7...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::arrives in the transporter room slightly later then Black::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Eridanus: Would you be comfortable at Warp Six, Commander?

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: I can go to warp 6 for a margin of error, sir

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::steps of the pad::

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::Haydes steps off the transporter pad and looks over at the Vulcan Transporter Chief, nodding once before turning his attention to Black and Janan:: CO/CIV: Your news had best be positive, Commander, Captain...

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::He walks randomly around the corridors whilst reading from his PADD::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::looks around::

Commander Xia says:
COM: XO: Bring it on, I'm sure we can take it...::She smiles and taps a few keys on a console::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Eridanus: Thank you Commander.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::sips his coffee and goes back to tinkering with the weapons::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: Increase our speed to Warp Six, and notify the Illiad as such.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Aye aye, sir, moving to warp six, sir. ::increases to warp 6 and informs the Eridanus::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::glances to the CIV as if inviting him to speak first, but anxious to watch Haydes reaction::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::As he watches over the Delars he takes out his PADD and looks up the data about their brain patterns:: Computer: Computer, please compare the brain patterns on the Delars to the brain patterns of the Eridanus crew when they first came aboard.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Turns his attention to his console again, reading about the USS Dynasty:: CTO: Did you see this about the USS Dynasty?

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: the Illiad will find out by themselves.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: Lets be nice, just this once, and tell them.

The Computer says:
CMO: Processing. ::The computer displays the brain-scans on the screen::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks over the report again::

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::sends a low priority message to the Illiad that they are increasing to warp 6::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Watches the patterns shown on the screen carefully, continuously comparing the information displayed with the data on the PADD::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the CO, then at Haydes::  Haydes: As you can see, the Scimitar has been able to salvage the Eridanus in a reasonable fashion... the details I will leave up to Commander Janan... so far one could say the mission has been rather successful... ::smiles faintly::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Heavy damage, CO didn't make it, Recalled to SB 657. Is that what you mean?

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::He glances between Janan and Black - immediately noticing that they're not telling him something:: CIV: ...and our objectives have been full carried out, Captain?

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Watches the Warp trails of stars increase in speed on the view screen::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
Admiral Haydes: You will find our reports on here, sir. ::hands him the PADD:: Our investigation is ongoing at this time, Commander Xia is onboard U.S.S. Eridanus. As you can see we have witnessed some interesting events.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Yes...  there's more to the story there, but whatever it is, they're not telling...  ::sighs::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::Nods:: Admiral Haydes: You have Commander Xia, the Eridanus and her crew. ::looks to Black questioning him again for his answer to this::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::sees the CO and walks over::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the Admiral::  Haydes: Our interests have been looked after, Admiral.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: Sir Lt Harris reporting for duty sir.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Definitely something missing.

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
CIV: Excellent. CO: Well done, Commander, for once I don't think I need to critique your failure. ::He walks out of the transporter room and motions for Delar and Black to follow::

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::He stops after he has stomped off his anger and looks around wondering what to do now::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::watches him leaving before a smile crosses her face::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Haydes and follows him::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: See this bit about the arilian line? Seems they've found a weakness.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He notices a slight difference in the activity of the Delars, compared to the Eridanus crew:: Computer: Computer, record the pattern and sent the results to my computer. I want to study that more later.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::leaves and turns down the corridor opposite way to Haydes, sees the MO, she pauses::

The Computer says:
CMO: Affirmative.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Yes.  A Theoretical weakness.  Now, we have to figure out how to exploit it in the real world.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::follows the CO::

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::Haydes enters a lift waits for Delar and Black to enter::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He studies the pattern a little more, before heading to the lab::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::enters the TL after the Admiral::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Agreed, what gets me is that SFC hasn’t already attempted to exploit it already.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: We should use Klingon Tactics, just ram your way through.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::turns to Blake with a smile:: CEO: Lt Harris, welcome onboard.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: thank you sir.

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
Computer: Seal the lift. ::He turns to Black and seems to almost tower over him:: CIV: Are you sure our objectives have been carried out - do they know about Project Raven?

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Unless................

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Very true.  FCO: I don't think we were in any shape to use this ship like a Bat'leth at the time.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Notices the captain down the corridor and pulls off a sloppy salute and then quickly makes his escape::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He walks over to the lab, but is distracted about the thought of Kerak just leaving the office and sickbay, the way he did::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::gives the MO a curious look:: CEO: Where would you like to begin? The bridge, you'll be trapped in engineering a lot of the time no doubt, so can get acquainted with it later.

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Just pick out a good point in their and go with a big part of the fleet and ram your way through their line then use the other part of the fleet and find a weak point and use it and head for next target.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::shakes his head::  Haydes: They do not, I have sent Lieutenant Majors over to Eridanus in the first team to secure those data... they are now in the secure files of the Fleet Command Centre...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::steps into the TL and awaits the CEO::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::steps in::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: Effective as that sort of tactics may be, they get too many of our people killed, Ensign.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: thigh fit sir for my size

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
CIV: ...and the memories of the Eridanus crew? Were Lieutenant Delar's operations a success?

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: With war you must make some sacrifices, sir.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Makes his way back to his quarters whilst humming an old tune::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: There is point where losses become unacceptable however.  Your tactics would not only cross that line, they would bludgeon it to death.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::he arrives at the lab and sits down at a computer:: Self: Let's work on that inhibitor now. There's little I can do for the Delars, until I'm certain about their stasis.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
TL: Bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Unless what, Lieutenant?

FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
XO: Commander, it worked in the past and it's an old Klingon tactic. War is hell, but you gotta win no matter what.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
Haydes: From what I heard it was only partially successful... some members of the crew have been experiencing flashbacks... but so far they haven't gone into any major investigating. It would be prudent to take action to ensure that doesn't happen, possibly with help of Lieutenant Delar...

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
:: He walks into his room and busies himself with packing up a few extra things and shuffling the baggage on the floor into some sort of rough order::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Well it's only a theory Commander but what if SFC and SFI have gotten a taskforce together to blow a hole in the line and want to involve us? That would explain Haydes being here.

VAdm_Darek_Haydes says:
::Haydes nods and without turning to Lon he speaks:: Delar: Ensure that you start with Commander Xia - make sure she forgets everything.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::His mind is focused on the information he got from Ensign Pierce as he runs a few test through the computer, forgetting about time as it quickly passes by::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CTO: Many things would explain his presence.  Not many of them would be pleasant, but I’ll admit your theory has a certain... ring of truth to it.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at Delar::  Delar: And be sure you make it permanent this time... we don't need the Scimitar crew remembering these particular details...  this has caused us more trouble then it's worth...

ACTION - As Doctor Abmeraz focuses on the data before him; he doesn't notice the face behind the translucent aluminum of his wall display. The face of Lieutenant Brenna Delar presses against the material and she screams out for help - but is unheard. "Please, they're coming for us...the Enemy is here - the Scimitar, the Shimmering Blade... it's going to burn. Oh god... help me, please!"
