CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Talking to an SO he points out some things he wants to change in the roster, then dismisses him, turning his attention to the sensors and how to optimize them for the mission at hand. Fiddling about with the parameters he tries to extend the range and accuracy. In his opinion sending some probes out when they close sounds like a better idea::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::sat in the CO's chair behind the desk in the RR::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::walks onto the Bridge and heads for the RR::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::leaves his new quarters and heads to the bridge::
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Down in ME, monitoring the all systems::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::rings the door chime::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::At his office pacing around with a PADD, thinking he forgot to pack something when he had the chance at the star base.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::enters the turbo lift and activates it::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::picks up a PADD and stares at it for a bit::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Doorbell: Enter!
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::in her office::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::enters the RR and stands at attention before the XO:: XO: Lieutenant Rome reporting sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::enters the bridge and looks for the commanding officer::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Have a seat Rome. ::still staring at his PADD::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::nods and takes a seat::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::flips the "pages" on the PADD not saying anything::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::politely nods at the CSO::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::on the bridge behind his tactical console, configuring the tactical sensors in a standard sweep pattern with warning system analysis::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::He suddenly realizes what he had forgotten:: *XO*: Abmeraz to MacAllister. Are you there?
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::sits quietly, impressed at the XO's acting...trying to make him nervous and lets out a slight grin::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CTO: Reporting for duty, sir
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::taps his COM badge:: *CMO*: MacAllister here... go ahead.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::gestures to the CIV to wait a minute::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::crosses his legs and waits::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
*XO*: I forget something at the Star base, I suppose it's too late turn back right?
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Runs a last minute diagnostic on the warp drive::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nodding at the computer's acknowledgement he hears someone speak to him and turns his attention to OPS::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CMO*: Last time I checked we hadn't left... what is it?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looking at the graphs of sensor performance he adjusts some settings and a spike goes up a bit while another goes down::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods::  OPS: Ah, our new operations officer....welcome aboard...  ::extends his hand::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
*XO*: Oh sorry, seemed to have missed that here in sickbay. I wonder if I have time to clean out the morgue. Do we still have enough time for that?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::accepts the CTO's hand and smiles:: CTO: Thank you sir. Is the commander about? I'd like to check in.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CMO*: Have the Transporter chief beam them all to the Station cold storage, I thought you'd have done that already.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
*XO*: Aye sir, I'll get that started right away. ::Makes the preparations to have them beamed to the star base.::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::shakes OPS' hand::  OPS: My name is George Watson, the resident Chief Tactical Officer....  pleased to meet you...  ::glances at the memo about the new OPS officer::  Commander MacAllister is currently in a meeting, I'll see if you can interrupt him for a moment...  ::taps his COM badge::  *XO*: Watson to MacAllister, Sir... I've got Lieutenant Idrani waiting for you... he is anxious to check in... permission to send him to the ready room?

ACTION:  The bodies in the morgue all disappear in the transporter shimmer.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::thinks to himself, "anxious?"::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant... send him right in.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::hears the XO:: CTO: It was nice to meet you, Lieutenant Watson
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Finally having cleared out his morgue, he feels quite relieved and leaves his office, starting to make his inspection round through sickbay.::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::thinks to himself that his shift is going to be over when the XO finally gets to him::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*XO*: Understood... he's on his way...   ::turns his attention to OPS once again::  you're all set...  ::gestures towards the ready room::
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
*XO* DuPont to MacAllister
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::walks to the ready room door and rings the chime::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::maintains a stern expression on his face:: CIV: I'll deal with you in a minute.
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
XO: I'm not going anywhere Sir.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*EO*: Go ahead DuPont.
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
*XO* Sir, warp drive is online and all systems are fully operational, were ready to go sir!
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::When he's done making his round through sickbay, he walks over to a console to pick up the PADD he left there the day before, containing the data on the bridge supplies.::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::sees OPS head for the ready room and glances back at his console::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*EO*: Very good Ensign... MacAllister out.
Host Jules says:
<SB OPS>  COM: Scimitar:  This is SB 657, acknowledge.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Ignores the chatter in the background for the moment as he continues trying to get the sensors more accurate. Range is a matter of power, but accuracy is a lot harder::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::tries to remember what he was going to say and remembers that the chime rang again:: Doorbell: Enter!
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Although he clearly remembered placing the PADD there, he just can't seem to find it.:: *XO*: Sorry to bother you again sir, but did you happen to take the PADD with the bridge medical supply manifest? I'm sure I had when you were here in sickbay the other day.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::enters the RR and immediately discerns the tension, his antennae twitch slightly higher:: XO: Sir, Lieutenant Idrani reporting for duty.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::looks up at the view screen as he hears an incoming com over the speakers, then taps the active Comm button::  COM: SB 657: This is the Scimitar, go ahead...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CMO*: I'll have a look in a minute Zoran, it’s getting a little busy up here.
Host Jules says:
<SB OPS>  COM: Scimitar:  Are you having a mechanical malfunction?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::waits patiently for the commander::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::snaps his head toward OPS:: OPS: Your orders lieutenant?
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::looks up at the Andorian and nods::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
*XO*: Sorry, didn't mean to bother you. I'll be taking a trip to the bridge, should you need me. I'll be checking up on the supplies there myself then. ::Takes a few spare supplies and med kits and heads out of sickbay, right after he instructed a duty MO to mind sickbay while he is away.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::hands over a PADD, keeping a second in his hand::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::raises an eyebrow::  COM: SB 657: Not to my knowledge... why may I ask ?
Host Jules says:
<SB OPS>  COM: Scimitar:  My schedule shows that you were cleared to depart 10 minutes ago.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::takes the PADD and looks over it:: OPS: Did the station MO clear you for active duty?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Yes sir, it's all there ::nods to the PADD::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::feels thirsty::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::taps his console and checks the incoming messages and nods::  COM: SB 657: You are correct, we've just checked in our new staff and we will be preparing to leave in a moment...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::reads on:: OPS: Fine Lieutenant, these appear to be in order. Welcome aboard, report to your post  and assume your duties. Dismissed.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::He takes a nice, quiet and peaceful walk along the corridors and heads to the nearest TL.:: TL: Bridge.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Thank you sir ::turns on his heels and heads back out onto the bridge::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::looks back at the XO::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::places the PADD back on his desk and picks up the other one he was looking at:: CIV: Now then Mr Rome...
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::leans back in the chair::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::takes his post on the bridge::
Host Jules says:
<SB OPS>  COM: Scimitar:  Acknowledged Scimitar.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: I don't believe I told you to relax... ::Frowns a little:: I've been going over your service history...
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::As the humming stops, the TL doors open their way to the bridge. He steps out and looks around.:: CTO: Good day lieutenant. Mind if I make a round to inspect the medical supplies? I seem to have misplaced the PADD with the info. Besides, I was wondering what things were like up here.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::begins a level 4 diagnostic on ship systems::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::having the confirmation of SB 657 he taps his COM badge again::  *XO*: Watson to MacAllister, Commander... we've been cleared by SB 657 and they're anxious to see us leave for some reason....  :;smiles faintly::  orders?
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Yes sir.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::turns to the CMO and nods::  CMO: No problem, Doc...  good to see you on the bridge for change...
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Smiles as he hears the CMO enter the bridge:: CMO: Same as always Zoran… boring.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant, take us out and set us on our way... I'll be out shortly.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::takes a mental note of the appearance of the CMO as he enters the bridge::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*XO*: Understood, Watson out.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: I see your last posting was as Chief Engineer on the Cherokee.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
CTO: Thank you. ::Simply smiles, nods to the CTO, moves on to the CSO and leans over.:: CSO: I guess that's because Mr Exeter left. The last action I remember was giving birth to the Delar child. ::Chuckles::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::sits up:: XO: Yes sir, I served there since graduation sir.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::grins:: CMO: Now those were interesting times
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::moves towards the command circle, nodding at the helmsman::  FCO: Helm, take us out... thrusters only.... nice and easy, be sure to cut all ties to the Star base...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: And you were comfortable in that position?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::checks power readings for all systems, especially thrusters::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*EO*: Watson to DuPont, Mr. DuPont... we're getting on our way... just thought you'd like to know....
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
XO: I was, the stress agrees with me. ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
CSO: I'm sure we won't have those in a while I suppose. ::Spots the new OPS officer:: But I'll head on if you don't mind.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Good, how do you feel about running an Akira class engine room?
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CTO* Aye sir, I'm monitoring our propulsion systems
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::keeps his eyes on the console and moves his left antenna slightly::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*EO*: Excellent... we'll keep each other posted...  Watson out.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CMO: Be my guest, I’m playing with the sensors
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::takes a deep breath:: XO: It would be like going from caves to luxury suites, sir...
Host Jules says:
<FCO Wrng_Wy> CTO:  Aye Sir.  All clamps and moorings are clear.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods::  FCO: Very well... take us out...
Host Jules says:
<FCO Wrng_Wy> CTO:  We are free of the star base.  Thrusters only.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
CSO: Don't mess with them too much... we might need those some day. ::Nods and moves on. After checking and replenishing the medical supplies, he walks over to the OPS officer.:: OPS: Good day ::looks at the OPS' pips.:: Lieutenant. I'm Zoran Abmeraz, the CMO around here. But most call me doc. ::Extends his hand::
Host Jules says:
<FCO Wrng_Wy> CTO:  Aye Sir, we are under way.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Excellent, I'll enter your Reassignment in the log now... in the mean time... inform security of your new clearance and go introduce yourself to your Department staff. ::smiles broadly::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::is taken a back a little since he never actually said 'yes' ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Problem Lieutenant?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::remembers the traditional human greeting and accepts the CMO's handshake:: CMO: Nice to meet you, Doctor Abmeraz.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
FCO: Move us out of the prescribed minimum distance, then go to half impulse until we reach their marker... then go to Warp 6 to the coordinates our mission destination...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::finishes making the necessary changes in the duty roster::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Sir. The reason I took this assignment here was to gather information on Airilian Technology for Starfleet...I am quite restricted in Engineering, but I guess I can do both......just the problem is every time I think about an engine room, I see a lot of my people dying sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: As you are here, I would like to make an appointment
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Feels the firm handshake and nods.:: OPS: Please do come to my office soon. Since you're new aboard the ship, regulations require you have a full medical exam.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: May I ask why?
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
XO: My last assignment there got dirty, I lost a few personnel and a dear friend in a plasma fire in Main Engineering.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: I did receive a full medical just yesterday prior to boarding. I trust the examination won't take too much time Doctor Abmeraz?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::steps back and takes a seat in the centre chair, tapping the console to display his own tactical readings::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Shakes his head and grins:: OPS: Not at all, unless you ask the XO about it first. He still believes I like to torture people.
Host Jules says:
<FCO Wrng_Wy> CTO:  Aye Sir, we've cleared minimum distance, half impulse.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: You'll be fine, remember you have a console on the bridge if you prefer not to actually be in engineering and just because you're now CEO that doesn't mean you can't be on away teams and such.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::laughs, and surprises himself as it is genuine:: CMO: I'm sure its not only the XO that thinks that. However I will have to judge that for myself. ::smiles::
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::lets out a breath and nods:: XO: We all need to get back on the horse one day, eh?
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
XO: I accept sir.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Understood...  steady as she goes... ::taps his COM badge::  *EO*: We've just gone to half impulse... once we reach the Star base’s marker we'll accelerate to warp 6...
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::hears the CTO and pulls up the power output for the warp drives::
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CTO* Understood sir
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: That's the spirit. ::stands and extends his hand:: Congratulations Lieutenant... but watch out for Mr DuPont... he seems to like doing things his own way.
CIV_Lt_Rome says:
::stands and shakes his hand:: XO: Don't worry, I've dealt with his type before.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Laughs along with the OPS:: OPS: You'll just do that. Good to have an Operations officer aboard again. It has been a while. Just don't go having babies up here and all will be fine. I'll be on my way again. Still need to check up on a few medical stores, somewhere over there. ::Gestures to the TL.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods with a smile:: CEO: Take your station Lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Thank you sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::blinks at the CMO and wonders how much he really knows as a doctor and the Andorian mating rituals:: CMO: Thank you
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks out of the RR and heads for the Engineering console, approaching it slowly::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::Follows the CEO onto the bridge:: CTO: Status.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::checks the progress of the level four diagnostic::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::sits down at the Engineering console and looks over the panels::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::activates the Comm:: *EO*: Rome to DuPont.
Host Jules says:
<FCO Wrng_Wy> CTO:  We've cleared the outer markers Sir, warp 6?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::sees the XO enter the bridge and stands from the chair, nodding at him once::  XO: We've cleared star base 657, continuing at half impulse until we reach their marker before increasing speed to warp 6...  Ensign DuPont is monitoring our engine output...  ::hears the FCO::  as you've just heard...  ::smiles faintly::  other then that everything is at green status.
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CEO* DuPont here sir
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Moves along the bridge to leave and nods to the XO.:: XO: Found my PADD?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: Say hello to your new Boss, Ensign. ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::looks at the stack of PADDS in his hand and shuffles through them before taking one and showing it to the CMO:: CMO: This one?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::The accuracy is improving marginally, but nothing really spectacular. He should really hit the books and see if there is some alternate means to do this::
Host Jules says:
<FCO Wrng_Wy> :: notices the XO ::  XO: We've cleared the outer markers Sir.
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Looks around confused:: *CEO* You've been promoted to Captain?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::having briefed the XO he returns to his console, preparing to initiate the sensor sweeps he programmed earlier on::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Takes the PADD from the XO, examines the contents and smiles:: XO: Thank you, that's the one. Been busy haven't you?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::laughs:: *EO*: No...something much better, I'll be down to see you in a moment. Rome out.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Very well... Engage to your coordinates... warp six.
Host Jules says:
<FCO Wrng_Wy> :: notices the XO ::  XO: Aye Sir.  Warp 6.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Just a little. Everything ok down below?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::stands up and heads for the TL::
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Wonders to himself if now isn't a good time to crawl into the jeffries tubes and fix that problem with junction box 7?""
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
TL: Main Engineering.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Shines up and looks proud:: XO: Fully equipped and ready for action. But then again, I'd rather see it quiet down there. So ready as can be, I would say.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::adjusts the ship entry to assign personal quarters::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Good, ::smiles:: I'll try and keep the morgue empty this time.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::steps out and walks over to ME::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Chuckles:: XO: Not really up to me, I'm afraid. A few of them arrived in there with missing body parts. That wasn't my doing.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::enters Main Engineering and looks around until he notices Mr. DuPont::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::grins:: CMO: Well it wasn't me chief... he was like that when I found him. ::laughs::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::glances at his sensor readings as they progress::  *EO*: Everything still going well down there, Mr. DuPont ?
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CTO* Everything appears to be ...optimal Lt.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::nods to DuPont then walks over to the storage compartment and retrieves a tool belt::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Laughs:: XO: You should stay off the interesting drinks for a while. Doctors’ advice. ::Shakes his head:: I'd better head back to sickbay. Meet me at the lounge later, I could use the distraction from work and have a few more laughs, okay?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*EO*: Good to hear it, Watson out.
EO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Frowns at the CEO wondering why he wanted to speak to him::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::attaches the tool belt around his waist, then picks out a vest::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Since they are out of range now, he starts using the sensors to see how the improvement really turned out::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Ok, don't work too hard. ::grins:: I may just join you for that drink. ::sits in the big chair TM::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::puts the vest on and let's out a little grin...it's good to be back::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::nods:: XO: Have a nice day... sir. ::Leaves for the TL and orders it to sickbay.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Mr. DuPont, I think we need to have a talk and prepare the next shift in my office. ::smiles and leads him to the office::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Let's make this a smooth journey shall we... SFC still hasn’t supplied the ship with seatbelts.
