CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::steps onto the Bridge and walks to his station, still a little upset::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Good, I'd rather you were up here getting some bridge hours under your belt while it's still relatively quiet in sickbay.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CEO: Ah Mr Rome, I wanted to thank you
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks over at Idrani:: OPS: What did I do?

<replicator> AMB: why don't you get it yourself then.... JERK!

CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks over to the XO, raising an eyebrow.:: XO: Quiet? You have no idea how many people come in daily with a cough or pain... Really, you have no idea.
Host Amb_Manautu says:
Computer:  Why you!!!!!  :: goes to the wall panel and presses the button ::  *XO* Excuse me, but, I have a problem down here.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CEO: Well now half the crew and even some old friends back on Andoria have started calling me...:: pauses and looks a little agitated:: "smurf"
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Obviously not. ::smiles::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::Looks around the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::gives the OPS the 'thumbs up' then sits down at his station::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*AMB*: What can I do for you?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::shakes his head and turns back to his console::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::listens with great interest to the XO, hoping he can learn a wise new lesson today.::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
*XO*  This ...this...MACHINE...is being obtuse.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::smirks as he imagines the little smurf being....smurfed by all his friends::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::frowns:: *AMB*: Which machine would that be Ambassador?
Host Amb_Manautu says:
*XO*  The replicator!!  I asked for chilled red wine and it gave me warm white wine.  When I repeated the request, it called me a jerk and told me to get it myself!!!

<replicator> ::makes a rasping sound at the Ambassador::

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::wanders over to the OPS officer and taps him on his shoulder ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::keeps his eyes on the warp propulsion systems::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*AMB*: Have you tried hitting it?
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::scans for turbulence::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
:: looks over at the replicator ::  *XO*  Now it's making rude sounds at me!!!
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Frowns at the XO::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::turns towards the tapping:: CNS: Ah...A pleasant surprise Ensign
Host Amb_Manautu says:
*XO*:  I'd prefer you send someone down here to fix the damned thing!
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*AMB*: I'll have an engineer come take a look at it.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::looks over his shoulder and sees all the flashing buttons:: OPS: Oh what does this button do? :: points very close at the button::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
*XO*:  Thank you Commander.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Jonathan, can you get one of your lackeys to see to the replicator in the Ambassadors quarters?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::turns around:: XO: It broken?
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::notices the scanners found some turbulence en route:: Self: Yay.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::is pleased the CNS chose that particular button:: CNS: Nothing. On its own, anyway.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Well the ambassador certainly seems to think it is. something about its attitude.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: oh ok, so what does this large clump of buttons do then?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Sir....the computer does not have an attitude.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::pokes one of the OPS officer’s antennae::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::stands up:: CNS: If that is all...
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: ok ok, :: walks some more around the bridge looking confused::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: then maybe he's mistaken... ::taps his COM badge:: *AMB*: Can you try ordering something else?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Getting more confused by the second and tries to get the XO's attention by whispering.:: XO: Is this what happens on the bridge when I am in sickbay? Perhaps I err... you know...
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::turns on the autopilot::

<Ens Spanner>  ::exits the Jefferies tube she has been working in ::  Self:  I'm going to ring that crewman's neck for this mess!

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::sits back down, and scratches his antennae where he'd been touched::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
*XO*  I could try.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Oh believe me, this is a good day.
Host Amb_Manautu says:
:: turns to the replicator. ::  Computer:  Saurian brandy, room temperature.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::opens a COM link to Engineering::*Engineering*: This is Rome, give me a level 4 diagnostic on all replicator systems. Let me know when it's done.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::searches the database for some console games::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
XO: Computers with an attitude... That is a good day? I certainly hope sickbay will never have to deal with that. ::Sighs::

<Replicator> ::spits Saurian brandy in the Ambassadors face at room temperature::

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>*CEO*: On it sir. Strauss out.
Host Amb_Manautu says:
:: sputters ::  *XO*  It spit at me!!!  Now I have to change clothes!!!!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::finds no games and accesses the database for fun::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*AMB*: Ok, we're running diagnostics of the replicator system now, in the mean time you could always try another console.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hears the Ambassador and sighs, then stands up slowly:: XO: Sir....I better take a look at this myself. And this better not be a practical joke.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::starts a diagnostic of the OPS console::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::spots the FCO:: FCO: hey what does this thing do?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: Are you looking for some activity?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: I'm waiting for the Captain.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks into the TL::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods:: CEO: Let's just hope it's an isolated incident.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: Ah that explains it.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::nods:: XO: And keep the Counsellor away from my console.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
TL: Guest quarters.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: I thought I'd have a little look around is all.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: Look with your eyes, not your fingers, ensign. We don't know where they've been. ::smiles::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::turns to the CNS but hears the OPS already talking with the CNS::

<Ens Spanner>  :: walks down the hall, with her tricorder out, looking down at it and finds what she is looking for and opens the access panel ::

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: Well they were last picking your antennae out of that pool of blood.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: You were there...I am surprised you don't remember events accurately.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks around, noticing it is not at all as he expected the bridge activity to be like. None the less, he kind of likes it and chuckles in amusement every now and then.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>::looks puzzled at the logs coming in, wondering why someone's doing maintenance on deck 6....but other matters come first, he'll look into it later::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::notices the CMO chuckling:: CMO: What is that peculiar sound you keep making?
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::searches the database on how to get rid of an annoying CNS::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::exits the TL and walks over to the Ambassador's quarters, carrying his tool chest::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks over his shoulder:: OPS: What sound lieutenant? ::trying to put on his most innocent looking smile.::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO: what you playing?
Host Amb_Manautu says:
:: changes his clothes ::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::smiles:: CMO: It's that same noise you were making during my first physical
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::turns to the CNS again:: CNS: I'm just searching nothing particular in the database.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::arrives at the door and rings the chime::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::continues to monitor tactical systems, glad of a quiet shift::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
FCO: ok.

ACTION:  The diagnostic revels nothing wrong with the replicators and the computer tells the engineer that if there is a problem to go and find it themselves.

CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::shrugs:: OPS: Not really... I was more amused back then.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::stands and walks to the replicator:: Replicator: Tea, Earl grey, hot.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>Self: WHAT?

ACTION:  5 blips appear on the tactical sensors.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>::taps his badge::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::laughs aloud:: CMO: I hope you don't leave out your funny tales in our medical sessions.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>*CEO*: Strauss to Lt. Rome....there is something definitely wrong here sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CMO: Sensors have five contacts
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::turns to his console upon hearing the tactical report::

ACTION:  The tea appears in the replicator on the other side of the bridge.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::waits by the Ambassador's quarters, ringing the chime a second time:: *EO*: What is it?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Ignores the last comment of the OPS and replies to the CIV in a reflex.:: CIV: Can you identify them?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::scans the new contacts::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
CEO:  Come in.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::frowns:: All: Has someone switched this replicator off?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CMO: Scanning....stand by
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::turns to XO:: XO: Sir, your tea is over there. ::points to the other side of the bridge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods and notices his heartbeat starts to increase slightly.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::enters the room and nods to the Ambassador:: AMB: Ambassador, my name is Jonathan Rome, Chief Engineer aboard the Scimitar. I heard you had a problem.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::checks power to replicator systems:: XO: Not that I know of sir.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Replicator: TEA, earl grey, hot.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: Strauss, give me a detailed report sent to my PADD please. I'm busy.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::logs of his console and walks over to the other replicator::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Have you identified them?
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Yeah, this is tea, your tea, Sir.
Host Amb_Manautu says:
:: walks out of his/her bedroom half dressed ::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::picks up tea and walks over to the XO::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: I meant the blips.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: What blips?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CMO: Sensors indicate one Federation ship, registry USS Czar. The others are two Ferengi vessels and 2 Orion ships. I recommend yellow alert.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::looks down at the console and sees several flashing lights::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::points to the sensor display on his console:: FCO: THOSE blips.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::thinks of the CNS standing next to the Conn:: XO: Here's your tea, earl GREY, hot.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::places his toolbox on a nearby table and picks an Isolinear inducer and walks over to the replicator::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Tries to find the XO and looks around, but notices he is busy with his tea.:: CIV: Very well, yellow alert. What is the distance to the ships and their current heading?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
FCO: I wasn't touching anything .... honest.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::Instigates a yellow alert::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::observes power levels changing between systems as yellow alert is activated::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::wonders why the Ambassador isn't dressed, and just ignores it as he opens up the console and takes a peak inside::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::back at his console::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::looks back at Zoran:: CMO: Did you do that?
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
CNS: I hope so. ::logs in and sees speed increased to warp 7:: CNS: You sure you didn't touch anything?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks to the XO:: XO: Do what... exactly?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
FCO: I'm sure I did not press anything.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>*CEO*: Sir, Strauss here....I have sent the report. Also we just noticed an unauthorized maintenance taking place on deck 6.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::gestures at the yellow panels:: CMO: That.

<Ens Spanner>  Self:  Great...the replicators are screwed up.  :: walks own the hall to the Ambassadors quarters ::

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
*XO*: What blips sir?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: XO: Yes... sir. I did.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::takes out the main Isolinear chip, responsible for vocal commands and scans it:: *EO*: Strauss.....do your job man! Send a security team immediately!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::shakes his head at this nonsense::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: All level 4 diagnostics as required by yellow alert are complete, Sir, all checks out fine.
Host Amb_Manautu says:
CEO:  Well, at least they sent...someone handsome to look at my problem.  :: smiles at the CEO ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Good, you're learning. ::turns and jabs his finger at the sensor display on the flight console:: FCO: THOSE BLIPS DAMMIT!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::sets back warp speed to 6:: CNS: Really?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks over his shoulder at the Ambassador:: AMB: Thank....you.....::looks back at his instrument::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
:: goes and puts something sexy on to try and impress the CEO ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Very well.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
FCO: really I did not press any buttons.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Commander, the blips are one Federation vessel, two Ferengi and two Orion
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen>: ::arrives on the bridge and takes mission OPS ready to liaison with CTO and OPS::

<Ens Spanner>  :: rings the chime at the Ambassadors quarters ::

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::looks at his console again:: XO: Are those blips? Oh, I thought it were malfunctioning replicator side effects.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Sighs and turns to face the CIV:: CIV: Have you been able to get the distance and heading of the ships yet?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Orion? has the federation vessel sent a distress call?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hears the chime and thanks all the gods for the interruption::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CMO: Not yet
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::picks up the chip and looks up at it, trying to see anything wrong with it::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: No Sir, no contact, I suggest we hail them
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Well yeah, I was busy getting your tea to you, instead of you to your tea, Sir.
Host Amb_Manautu says:
:: frowns at the interruption :: Spanner:  Come in.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::picks up a hydro spanner and takes the power coupling offline::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Not yet... ::turns to the FCO:: FCO: If it's not too much trouble ensign, plot an intercept course with those vessels.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::crawls halfway into the replicator::

<Ens Spanner>  :: enters the room, looking down at the tricorder ::  Ambassador:  Are  you having problems with your replicator?

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::recalculates course, with the possibility of some fun loops:: XO: Aye Sir, intercept course laid in.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hears someone talking:: Out loud: I'm on it! I didn't tell anyone to come help me.

ACTION:  OPS begins to receive a distress call.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Make IT so.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Sir, I'm getting a distress call!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::pushes button:: XO: Made IT so, Sir.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::wonders what's wrong with his staff...unauthorized maintenance twice already::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::pushes a few buttons to determine who the distress call is from::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
Spanner:  Yes, and as you can see, I already have someone looking into it, now if you will go on about some other business.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Tries to observe the XO's actions as he gives out orders.::

<Ens Spanner> :: looks up and sees the CEO :: Ambassador:  Yes, I can see that.  CEO:  Hi there handsome.

CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::reviews weapon systems and shields, just to be on the safe side::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::crawls back out to scold the engineer:: EO: I told you I was on it, now you have to clear all these things with......::looks stunned as he sees her::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Spanner: What are you doing here? ::feels both stunned...and glad::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::gets ETA:: XO: ETA 7 minutes, Sir.

<Ens Spanner> CEO:  Actually, I was authorized by my base commander to help fix the mess up over here.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods to the FCO::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Sir, the distress call...

<Ens Spanner> :: smiles and winks ::  CEO:  He knew you had a mission and so, here I am, on loan.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::stands up and let's out a sigh:: Ambassador: Please excuse me for a moment. ::motions for Karri to step back out to the corridor::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
Spanner:  Yes, yes and now, you can go somewhere else.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks out onto the corridor, waiting for Karri to follow::
Host Amb_Manautu says:
CEO:  Of course handsome.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: On screen.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::activates the main viewer and displays the incoming call::

<Ens Spanner> ::  raises her eyebrow ::  Ambassador:  Excuse me???

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::walks around the bridge ::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Watches the view screen with great interest.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks into the quarters where Karri seems to be getting into an argument with the Ambassador:: Spanner: Engineer Spanner! Out here, now!

<Ens Spanner> CEO:  I'll be with you in a minute Sir....right now, I think I need to have a talk with her. :: points at the Ambassador ::

Host Amb_Manautu says:
Spanner:  I am not a her or a he....I am a S/he.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::Watches the screen impatiently:: OPS: You got this thing on the right channel?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Aye Sir, I wouldn't be much of an Operations officer if I didn’t even know how to put on the view screen. ::smiles to show he isn't complaining:: The message is very garbled Sir. I'm working on it now.

<Ens Spanner> :: rolls her eyes :: Ambassador:  Great.  :: turns and heads for the door ::  I'll talk with you later.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: ETA?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::works on clearing up the signal::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Now it's just 3 minutes, watch the clock above the screen, Sir.

<Ens Spanner> CEO:  Sorry Sir.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::accesses the cleaning roster for the RCS thrusters::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks more closely at the view screen more closely, trying to make out anything on there.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::tries narrowing the bandwidth::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Self: Dammit! ALL: Red alert!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::sees ETA clock counting down to 1 minute::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Spanner: I don't care if we know each other...or that we like each other...this kind of behaviour is out of order...that is a Federation Ambassador....and you are here on this ship, without my authorization....::feels angry, and a bit guilty for yelling::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::startled by the XO's sudden loud expression he slightly jumps from his chair.::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::activates the red alert and brings shields and weapons online:
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::sees the wall displays turns red::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::ensures power distribution is according to red alert:: XO: Its pretty hard to clear this up sir...I can't even tell which of the ship's its coming from as yet.

ACTION:  Can be heard over the speakers: "  SS Czar.......der atta....Ori...ease respond. "

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::countdown clock starts displaying a blinking 00:00::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::drops the ship out of warp::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Sir, we've just dropped out of warp.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Target the lead Orion ship and fire!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but It's the USS Czar
Host Amb_Manautu says:
CEO:  I know Sir, and I'm sorry, but there wasn't time to contact you and I do have Starfleet authorization.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Sir, we're not certain it’s even them attacking
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::locks phasers on the closer Orion ship and fires, targeting its engines::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: You remember that Yeager that attacked us?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks from the XO to the OPS::

<Computer>  CIV:  You are not within firing range of a target, please specify a closer target.

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
Self: Wish I had popcorn now.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Yes Sir...what’s to say the USS Czar won't?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Spanner: That doesn't matter...personnel changes to my department need to be cleared by me.....don't take this the wrong way, I'm delighted to see you....but this day is not working for me at all.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::spins round on the spot:: FCO: For gods sake SHUT UP AND GET US CLOSER!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::moves the ship closer to the ships::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Spanner: And now we are at red alert.....

<Ens Spanner> CEO:  I understand Chief.  I apologise Sir, it won't happen again.  :: glares at the Ambassador over her shoulder.

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Then look at the screen, Sir. We ARE moving.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::recalculates firing solutions, waits to get close enough::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::feels his anger subside, then takes a daring move and pushes Karri up against the bulkhead and kisses her:: Spanner: Now take care of this replicator business, I need to be on the Bridge...then later you are going to meet me there. ::starts sprinting down the corridor::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: The Yeager class star ship that attacked us was stolen by the Orion... I'm not letting them get another one!

ACTION:  The Orion ships close in on the Scimitar, weapons hot.

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
CIV: We are in firing range in 5 seconds.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
FCO: Standing by
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
CIV: Now
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Understood, Sir. Perhaps the Ferengi have something to do with this also. ::hits some controls on the console::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::takes a shot at the Orion ship::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::taps his console while running:: *Engineering*: Engineering, take all replicator systems offline while we figure this out, divert all power to the shields!
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Grabs the armrests of his chair and starts leaning forwards with the second passing.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: The Ferengi are not a threat right now but they could be looking for an opportunity to make some profit

ACTION:  The shot misses the Orion ship but the Orions return fire, one shot misses and one shot hits.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::feels the TL shudder as they get hit::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Self: come on...
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::resets solutions and fires again::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::does the "enterprise shimmy" as he tries to get back to the center seat::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::runs and hides::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Almost puts his nails into the armrests.:: XO: Sir? Are we doing something?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::steps onto the Bridge and runs to his console::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::runs evasive things::

<Ens Spanner> :: recovers from her shock at being kissed so quickly ::  CEO:  Aye Sir,

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: You ARE the second officer... ask someone!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
