CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Smiles back:: CO: Well, I hope all goes better than it did a few hours ago.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO/CMO: well we had best arrange a meeting with the Ambassador to we know his/her plans
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Hi, come on in.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::turns to the CMO:: CMO: why what went wrong ?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods to the CO:: CMO: You want to handle that?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Chuckles:: CO: Just be careful asking the replicators for anything and all will be fine.

CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::raises an eyebrow:; CMO: have you been having problems again ?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  I will.  See you later.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Less of the ma'am it's Chloe, and please take a seat.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: grins at the CEO ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::nods and runs out of the room, heading for the TL while trying to fix his hair::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: I think everyone's been having problems... I got a call from the Ambassador that his was giving him attitude.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Shakes his head:: CO: Not me, the ambassador and our very own XO. ::He turns to face the 1st officer.:: XO: Sir, there is... err... ::clears his through.:: With all due respect, don't you think someone with more... err... diplomatic experience should talk with the Ambassador?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>*CEO*: Lt. Rome sir, we are getting a request from OPS to shut down all Replicator systems, what do you suggest? We still have teams on it.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Grins:: XO: replicators with attitudes .. Sounds like something out of those 20th century horror films
Nurse_Lenny says:
::nods and smiles:: CNS: Alright, Chloe it is then. ::she moves over to the closest seat and sits down.::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: Goes and dresses and heads for the bridge ::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::runs a diagnostic on power distribution::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO_Strauss*: Take them off, keep the smurf happy alright. But keep our teams on it. I want the problem fixed. Rome out. ::steps into the TL:: TL: Bridge.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: More experience? The last diplomatic talks I had were with the Airillians... and if I remember they didn't go to well
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>*OPS*: Engineering to Lt. Idrani.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::sits back down behind her desk:: Lenny: I remember you requested some time with me.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*EO*: Idrani.
Nurse_Lenny says:
::nods and sighs.:: CNS: Yes, I did...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::listen to both her officers getting the feeling there something they are not telling her:: XO/CMO: You guys want to spit out what you are going on about
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>*OPS*: I have the Chief's reply, he says to shut them off. We have our teams on the problem.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::blinks his eyes, looking extremely uncertain for a moment.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*EO*: I'll order my officers to stay out of the way. Thank you.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: To be honest with you Captain... Hermats give me the creeps... I never know how to address them.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::arrives on the Bridge and takes his seat::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: exits the lift onto the bridge and finds the Doctor :: CMO:  Sir, I just wanted to make certain that I was cleared for duty.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO/XO: I'm about to shut down power to the replicators...If you are thirsty, now is the time to order ::smiles::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Faces the captain:: CO: Likewise captain.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: I know you were a little distraught when we lost those pirates, are you feeling a little more positive about things now?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::sees Karri on the Bridge and feels uncomfortable, this close to the Captain and First Officer::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Looks at MacAllister and Abmeraz clearly not convinced:: XO/CMO: Okay well get comfortable with them, and if there are any problems regarding the Ambassador I trust I am the first to know
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
::Walks down the corridor aiming for the turbo lift::  Turbo lift: Bridge
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: Very well Lt shut them down
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO/CMO: Ok, how's this then... we'll both go and talk to the Ambassador, safety in numbers and all that. ::grins::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Commander, the nacelle has been fully repaired. We should have no problems ahead.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::shuts down power to the replicators and sends confirmation to engineering:: CO: Done, ma'am
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Nods to the captain.:: CO: Yes ma'am. ::Looks to his side, facing the EO and smiles:: EO: Good to see you back on your feet again. If you feel up for work again, you are hereby cleared for duty, just remember... don't stress yourself.
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
::sees the doors slide open and walks onto the bridge.  Sits at the science station::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::is slightly amused:: XO/CMO: Okay enough ::shakes her head:: I will talk to the Ambassador
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CMO:  Aye Sir.  :: Smiles ::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::shrugs:: CNS: That was not really the problem, but yes, I feel better after that. I hope you too?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Sir, I've been cleared for duty, what would you like me to concentrate on?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Lets out a sigh of relief by the captain’s words.:: CO: Thank you ma'am.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Yeah I'm ok now. Oh and I forgot to ask would you like a drink?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::smiles warmly:: CO: I would appreciate that Captain.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
CO: If you wish, I can join you, hoping I can learn from your professionalism and expertise?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::goes over the diagnostic results::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::turns around to face her, and feels like the whole crew is listening:: EO: Uhm.....er, well. Why don't you stay here and take a look at the Operations Console, it has been having problems lately. Just don't interfere with his work. ::tries to look professional::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Is still amused:: OPS: Lt please make the Ambassador aware that I wish to meet with him/her to get an idea on how s/he would like to proceed on arrival
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Looks a little uncomfortable.:: CNS: Err... sure. Tea, Earl Grey... hot please.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye Sir.  :: Smiles and walks over to the OPS console ::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: Aye ma’am ::sees the oncoming EO::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO: What is our ETA to the Nehru system?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::gets Lenny her drink and hands it to her:: Lenny Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*AMB*: Bridge to Ambassador Manautu
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
OPS:  Excuse me Lt, may I take a look at your console?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks over to the CEO while waiting for the captain to answer.:: CEO: Just checking that I saw it correctly. Repairs are progressing swiftly, aren't they?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: Just a moment, please ::smiles politely::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Accepts the tea:: CNS: Thank you.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Yes sir, things are going well. Except for the replicators...I'm starting to feel this ship is haunted, there's always something isn't there?

<Manautu> *OPS*: Yes?

CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: so why do I get the feeling that your attitude to the Ambassador has changed slightly
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*AMB*: Ambassador, I would like to arrange an appointment with you and our captain if that is acceptable?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::sighs:: CEO: As long as you keep the turbo lifts working, I will be happy.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Changed? In what way Cap'n?

<FCO_Wrng_Way> XO:  We are still 5 standard days and 4 hours

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Don't jinx it sir...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: you are much better than me at diplomatic meetings .. Why’s this one so different
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
CEO: S... sorry. ::Tries to take another look at the console.::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Your welcome, so what seemed to be the problem back then or has it sorted itself out now?

<Manautu> *OPS*: Certainly.  Anytime the Captain chooses.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: Captain, which time would be your preference for the meeting?
Nurse_Lenny says:
CNS: Not really. That is not something that sorts out by itself that easily. You see, I recently got to know our CMO better... one could say... a lot better actually. ::Slightly blushes.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: It's not anything sinister against the ambassador... it just makes it too difficult when I have no idea how to address them.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::smiles at the Doctor::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: Patiently waits for OPS to allow her access to the console ::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: It's ok there's no need to blush, please carry on.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: will give you a hint call him her Ambassador ::grins::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Sighs:: CNS: I... I do not believe it is proper to tell about it, without him being here, but I believe I might have gotten a crush on him. But... it doesn't feel right.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Well... if you're willing to make it an order... then I'd have to get over it wouldn't I. ::grins::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::keeps his eyes on the plasma flow, making sure the nacelle doesn't buckle under the pressure::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny it’s ok, why do you think it doesn't feel right?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::raises her hand in mock surrender:: XO: I will do it
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: what is our ETA ?
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Looks down for a moment, saying nothing, just sipping her hot tea, Earl Grey.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: It is 5 days 4 hours ma’am
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::enters the bridge after completing a diagnostic of the weapon systems following the recent battle::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: Okay arrange for the meeting in about 2 hours please
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: and commander you will be there ::grins::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::sneaks a look at Karri::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*AMB*: How does in two hours sound, Ambassador? ::speaks as politely as possible::

<Manautu> *OPS*: That will be fine, I shall await her arrival.

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Ok. Have you been on any good shopping trips lately?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Begins to wander around a little, stopping at the OPS console for a moment and starts peeking over the OPS' shoulder.::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
;;takes over at tactical::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: The ambassador says he looks forwards to your arrival...would you rather the meeting in your ready room?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: Nope the ambassador’s quarters are fine
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Looks up surprised and thinks this might be one her techniques.:: CNS: Not much lately, not really. We haven't been to any station after the last one yet.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: waits on OPS and sneaks a look at the CEO and smiles at him ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hears them talking about meeting the Ambassador and starts to feel a bit guilty, hiding this from the Captain and the Commander....then sees Karri smiling at him and feels even more guilty::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::sits in his chair, stands up and throws the whoopee cushion at OPS::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
:;turns:: CEO: So Lt, how are repairs coming on ?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::steps away from the console now his diagnostic is done:: EO: Its all yours
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::snaps to attention:: CO: What? Uhm....fine.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: nods at OPS and looks over the console ::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*AMB*: Thank you Ambassador. CO: Confirmed for two hours, the ambassadors quarters
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: Try to get it to stop blowing up on me. I did ask it nicely
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Remembering that the console blew up a few hours ago, he steps back and moves over to the tactical console.::

ACTION:  Whoopee cushion hits OPS in the back of the head.

SO_Ens_Hammond says:
::fiddles with his console::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
OPS:  I'll do what I can Sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::turns to pick up the whoopee cushion:: out loud: Ah, I was wondering if Id get that back
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::watches the CEO as she catches the whoopee cushion hit the OPS officer:: All: What is it with everyone today its like I have a whole new crew !! XO: commander my RR Now
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Find somewhere else to store it. ::grins::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::runs some short range scans, happy with adjustments made to the targeting scanners::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: begins looking over all the circuits and replacing a few ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::starts to feel uncomfortable::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::grins at the XO:: XO: Oh, nice work in my quarters with the mirror. ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::follows the CO to the RR::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::He notices the CIV making changes and tries to see what they are about.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::wishes the replicators were online....he could use a glass of water right about now as he sees the XO following the not so happy CO::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Alright. Have you made it clear to the doctor that you have feelings for him?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CMO: you have the bridge let me know if there are any problems !! ::Enters her RR::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Startled he straightens up, nodding and replies full of pride.:: CO: Yes ma'am.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::waits for the EO to look over his console::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::spins on her heel looking straight at MacAllister::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::stops in his tracks and waits for the door to shut behind him::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Blushes:: CNS: Well... I err... think that is pretty clear to the both of us. We have spent a couple of nights together... if you err... get what I mean that is...
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: Pulls a few panels from the console :: OPS:  I'm going to have to replace these.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::gulps, while looking at Karri....wondering if he's letting this girl jeopardizing his career::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::looks around, feeling somewhat awkward as some of the crew are looking at him and he moves to the centre chair step by step. His hands neatly folded behind him.::
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
::looks at the CMO::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: looks over at the CEO and takes the panels over :: CEO:  Sir, these panels are all but fried.  I'll have to get a couple of new one's
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: what in heavens name are you doing throwing things on my bridge ... you a Starfleet officer My first officer so I suggest you start acting like it, the next time you have something to hand to a crew a member I strongly suggest you do not throw it, the bridge is not a playground .. Is that understood!?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::smiles:: Lenny: I get what you mean, but may I ask what makes you think it doesn't feel right?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: It'll have to wait until we finish our mission
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Understood... permission to talk plainly Captain?
Nurse_Lenny says:
CNS: I could tell you but then I'd have to shoot you ::Starts to laugh out loud to break the tension.::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
:;thinks, then roles her eyes:: XO: go ahead
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
OPS:  It won't take but a few minutes once I go and get the replacement panels, or do you like having the console explode at you?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Yes, well there are replacements in the storage hold behind this wall. ::points to the wall between the Bridge and OL::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::laughs::  Lenny: sorry to make you feel uncomfortable, it's the way it was drummed into me back when I was training.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: Well, if it'll only take a few minutes...and not a few engineering minutes.... then go ahead. I don't want to be caught with our pants down if we encounter another Orion ship.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: Nods :: CEO:  Aye Sir.  :: heads over to the storage locker and picks up the replacements. ::
Nurse_Lenny says:
CNS: Don't sweat it ma.... Chloe. It's me, I just happen to close up in situations like this. ::She pauses to sip her drink again.:: There is... He wasn't my first one actually.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::relaxes:: CO: Cap'n there are two reasons for what you just witnessed on the bridge... the first one is, some of the crew on the lower decks had been using small practical jokes to relieve the tension of the trip after the call from the Czar... it appeared to be effective so I allowed it to continue, within reason.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: And he understands that? Or he doesn't know?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Starts to look around, hoping everything will be going smoothly today.:: CEO: Chief, could you give me another status report on the repairs?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: And the other reason... I know you'll think this is stupid but I kind of knew you'd bring me in here ::smiles:: and I know you wanted the Doc to get some real command experience. ::grins::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::shakes her head shyly:: CNS: I... I haven't told him. I don't think it is important really. But I do have dreams about that other guy... from time to time. It scares me a little.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: picks up the replacement panels and moves back to the OPS console ::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks at his console despairingly::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::turns his chair around:: CMO: Sir, I have two teams working on the replicator business, I will have an update on that later. We are continuously watching the plasma flow to the starboard nacelle to make sure everything is fine after the Orions fired on us, and the Operations Console is being repaired as we speak.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: No it really isn't that important, but this other guy, was he violent?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: what happens in departments Commander I do not wish to have on my bridge, I like practical jokes.. But the bridge is not the place for them ::stops as she hears MacAllister:: You did that to ge .... :;shakes her head::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::hates not having a console so heads over to mission OPS::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods and tries not to show that he is impressed by the CEO's answer. He turns his head.:: CIV: Commander, anything to report on tactical?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: finishes fixing the console and stands up ::  OPS:  There you go Sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: Thank you very much ::smiles and heads back to his console, all shiny new::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: I admit it wasn't the best way to go about it but effective wouldn't you agree?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: So this will stop it blowing up in my face right?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CMO: Nothing at the moment. All systems are operational following our recent conflict with the Orions
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods and turns his head again.:: SO: Mr. Hammond, anything on the sensors or scanners?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
OPS:  It should, unless you overwork it.  :: smiles ::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: Oh dear...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: Commander don't pull a stunt like it again ::sits down and pulls out a bottle from her desk: XO: Sythanol while we are here ?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::grins as he hears Karri teasing Idrani.....good girl::
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CMO:  Not the moment sir.  All clear.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::smiles and takes a seat:: CO: Don't mind if I do Cap'n.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::pulls up the work where he left off, after a blank moment to remember what it was::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
OPS:  If you'll excuse me Sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CMO: Enjoying another quiet shift on the bridge ::smiles::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Nods again:: SO: Very well. ::Turns his head to face the OPS:: OPS: How's the view up there lieutenant?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
EO: Yes, of course ::smiles:: Thank you. I'll be sure to send a smurf doll as thanks ::turns his head::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: All quiet right now sir, although my new panels look good. ::flickers the view screen on::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: smiles and reaches up and kind of twangs OPS antennae :: OPS:  Sorry Sir, I had to check to see if it was real.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Pours a glass for both of them:: XO: Please sit .. so how is the Doctor shaping up
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Smiles as he notices everything looks pretty much in order and leans on one of the armrests.::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: walks to the CEO :: CEO:  Sir, is there anything else you need?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::turns and growls into the EO's face:: EO: I can put up with being called a smurf...but I find this crews lack of self control regarding my antennae...
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CMO:  At least nothing serious is going on.  For that I'm glad sensors are blank.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Doctor, sir....seems everything is fine on your watch...good nothing bad has happened....oops did I just jinx that? ::smiles at the Doc::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::pauses letting the EO work out how the sentence should end::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Well, he appears to be learning pretty quickly, should be ready to move out of sickbay any week now ::smiles::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: well I think he can go between both for now just make sure he now gets his own shift as well
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Well Ensign, why don't you just take a seat here and watch the reports. You need some Bridge experience after being on that base. ::smiles::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*CO*: Idrani to Captain Bolitho
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::looks up at the CEO:: CEO: For your sake I hope you didn't. I wouldn't mind a milk run. ::Feels slightly more uncomfortable now.::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::hears the comm.:: *OPS* Go ahead
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye Sir.  :: takes Eng 2 and begins to watch the reports coming in ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: You jinxed my repairs....I jinx your command. ::grins::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*CO*: Do you have a minute ma’am?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods and takes a sip of his drink:: CO: This is pretty good stuff... where'd you get it?
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
::chuckles at the CMO's comment::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
*OPS*: What's the problem Lt or do you wish to speak in private
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
*CO*: Privately, please. When you have time, of course.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods just facing the view screen.:: CEO: I'll try to remember that when it comes to handing out drinks at the lounge next time. ::Grins::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: looks up from the console :: CEO:  Sir, I'm seeing a patterns here in the replicator programs.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Smiles at MacAllister:; XO: my husband has his uses .. but I can promise you there is no alcohol

Nurse_Lenny says:
::shakes her head shyly as a sparkle in her eye appears.:: CNS: Not at all Chloe. He was... the most perfect man someone could ask for. He... ::She has to struggle to contain her tears.::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
*OPS*:  if you have the time now then please report to my RR
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::smiles:: CO: Trouble at OPS? ::motions to the CO's COM badge::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  It's a replicating virus.  See here?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::conducts some long range scans, looking for Orion warp signatures::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::heads over to the RR and chimes the doorbell::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Ah he was ONE of those types of guys?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::nods to MacAllister:: OPS: enter
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Just nods::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::stands up and leans over her shoulder:: EO: Well I'll be a donkey's spawn.....
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::enters the RR with an angry face and steps in front of the captain::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::looks at her OPS officer:: OPS: would you prefer the XO wasn't here ::looks slightly concerned::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::looks up at OPS from his seat::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: I know they are hard memories to just let go, but I'm sure the doctor is ONE of those types of guys.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  If I trace it back...... :: presses a few buttons on the console ::  Here, if we replace this panel here and have OPS run an anti virus program, it should fix the problem.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::taps his COM badge:: *Engineering*: Rome to Engineering, purge all the programming for industrial and food replicators, then re-install the factory codes. Ensign Spanner will send you a report on a virus she just found. And then I want to know why no one noticed this earlier!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: No, it is okay ::turns for a moment to the XO then back to the CO:: CO: Perhaps it is better he stays. Permission to speak freely
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::As he sits in the 'big chair' he had a very brief moment of thought. He almost pictured himself being on top of a ship, standing at the rudder, overlooking the crew and the ocean. He snaps back to reality very quickly. Must be something he read about somewhere.::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::nods:: OPS: permission granted
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Please send this data down to Engineering ASAP.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO/XO: Ma’am, I understand the crew fascination with Andorians...After all I am the only one many have seen, but I find some of the crews behaviour towards me is out of line
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: Their behaviour towards you ?
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
::imagines being in one of his favourite holodeck programs::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Commander Abmeraz!
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Shrugs slightly:: CNS: Think so? Although I have been... quite close to him, but... I have not sensed the same thing with the doc... not really.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: Captain, ::paces as he talks:: how would you like it if I kept on poking your breasts, for example. Please forgive the intimacy of the remark but I feel it will have the most effect.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::stifles a laugh::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Looks at Idrani:: OPS: LT get to the point what on earth are you going on about!!
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Sits up straight and faces the CEO:: CEO: Yes Lieutenant?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye Sir.  :: taps the console and sends the info ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Ensign Spanner just found the problem we have with the replicators.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: Captain, my antennae are not some item on display. I can ignore the racist remarks I receive occasionally, but there are certain ones who find it amusing to  ::pauses to calm down some irritation:: to...flick or poke my antennae
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: I'm sure he is, you two may just need more time together, more time to get to know each other.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks over at OPS and wonders where he went off to and where his replacement is:: CMO: We need OPS to run a trace on a virus.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::almost doesn't manage to hold it in::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
CEO: Alright, let's do it. I am sure that couldn't hurt. ::Looks around:: Where IS the OPS?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Where is the replacement OPS is my question...
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CMO: Talking with the Captain I believe.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> ::enters the bridge and takes OPS wondering where Idrani is::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::notices Zen enter the Bridge:: CMO: There he is.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::looks quite surprised:: OPS: this is about your antenna? ::stops to think:: Your right Lt you shouldn't have to go through this .... and I’m sure Commander MacAllister will see to it that it does not happen again .. we are all Starfleet officers and as such my crew worked together ::looks towards MacAllister::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> ::notices he's being nodded at:: CMO: Sir?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Turns around in his chair, nearly knocking his knee at one of the armrests.:: Zen: Ah, ensign... good of you to come. I need you to run a virus check on the replicator system. EO Spanner can give you details about it.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::leans in close to Karri and whispers:: EO: You did good sweety.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: therefore I would prefer no disruptions .. each one of the crew have earned there right to be here .. I trust you will see that this does not occur again
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods to the CO with his "serious face" on:: CO: Of course captain.
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Clears a tear from he cheek.:: CNS: You could be right you know. I have not known Zoran as long as... him.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks at the slightly redder XO from holding in his laughter:: CO: Ma’am, I appreciate your time. There is only so much an officer can endure with his fellow crew.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: lifts her eyebrow and smiles ::  CEO:  Thank you Sir.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Why don't you spend a romantic evening in the holodecks? just getting to know each other?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::brushes his hand on her shoulder as he stands back up and sits down in his own seat::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::looks at the XO seriously and then back at Idrani:: OPS: Is that everything ?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> CMO: Aye Sir. ::turns to the EO:: EO: Virus scan?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: Oh and please inform the crew if this continues then a shift in the brig for harassment will follow
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: So noted Captain. ::nods::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
Zen:  I have the exact parameters here.  It's self replicating.  :: sends the info to Zen ::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Turns his head once more, hoping it will not be sore by the end of the shift.:: CEO: Well done lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: It's all thanks to the Ensign, sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Smiles:: CEO: She's on your roster, I am sure she would like to hear that compliment from you. ::Winks:
SO_Ens_Hammond says:

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: No, that is it, thank you CO/XO: Thank you both ::turns and heads back to the bridge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Starts to feel uneasy.:: SO: How many?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::waits for the door to close::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::watches Idrani leave:; XO: what is going on ?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> ::receives the info and starts the process:: EO: I'm on it now
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::sees Idrani and waves him over::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Her mind clears a little and she even manages to put on a little smile.:: CNS: Well... that might work? I could try... but I am not the romantic to be honest.
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CMO:  Four ships.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::walks to the CEO, with a milder but still irritated face::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
OPS: Idrani, we have just found a virus in the replicator systems, Mr. Zen is running a trace now to see how it got there, I would appreciate you keeping me and my department up to date.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: To be perfectly honest I have no idea... if anyone has been harassing him they've made sure I wasn't looking.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Gets straight up in his chair.:: SO: ETA and heading of the ships?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: find out who is responsible please I want it stopped
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Hmmmm Ok, try an evening together in either of your quarter's talking about things about each other etc.
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CMO:  We can't identify them.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CEO: Yes of course, we'll keep you up to date
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hears something about incoming ships and takes a look at the scanners:: OPS: Thank you. ::nods::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Nods trying to remember it all:: CNS: Right... something, each other... Anything else?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, I'll see to it... looks like this is another quiet drink cut short. ::smiles a little::
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CMO:  They're heading is on a parallel course with ours.  We won't be able to intercept them if we maintain our course.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::sends Zen to mission OPS:: Zen: I'll leave the scan to you Ensign
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> ::heads to mission OPS and accesses the work:: OPS: Aye Sir, I'll keep you informed.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: Indeed but please finish you waste it I will have your rank :;grins::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods and thinks for a moment.:: SO: Very well. Keep an eye on them please. Let's hope they're not up to something nasty. ::Sighs slightly:: FCO: Maintain current course and heading.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::smiles warmly:: CO: I really don't like to waste a good drink.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Shields are back too full efficiency sir.
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CMO:  Aye sir.

<FCO_Wrng_Way> CMO:  Aye Sir.  Forward, right?

CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: good .... so how is the Ambassador ?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
FCO: Yes, right, forward.

<FCO_Wrng_Way> CMO:  Right, then forward?

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: Sir, diagnostics are complete, and all power distribution nodes and circuits read as operating fully
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
FCO: No no... you got it wrong... just forwards, right?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Apart from the incident with the replicators I think everything's ok... at least I have no reason to think anything to the contrary.

<FCO_Wrng_Way> CMO:  Just forward, then right?

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Try some soft music in the background maybe some candles a meal and just talk to each other pour your hearts out.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: good during my dealing with Ambassadors I have come to the conclusion that can be temperamental at times
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::looks over his shoulder:: OPS: Good, thanks. ::Faces the CEO: Chief, get one of the replicators on line here and see if they work properly. ::He then sighs:: FCO: Just... just go forward, not right, not left... straight onwards.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: I've heard that's common in Hermats. ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Yes sir.

<FCO_Wrng_Way> CMO:  Aye Sir.

CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Smiles:: XO: I have given up trying to work them out ::finishes her drink:: So shall we relieve the doctor
Nurse_Lenny says:
CNS: Candles... meal... hearts out... ::looks up.:: Almost sounds like an autopsy. They can be romantic. ::Smiles slightly.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*Engineering*: Engineering, as soon as we have the replicators ready, activate one on the main Bridge please.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::brings up the progress of the scan and then turns to the new duty roster::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::finishes his own drink:: CO: Yeah, I think he's had long enough. ::stands up:: May I?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::laughs:: Lenny: whatever takes your fancy.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Stand up:; XO: Feel free
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> ::continues monitoring the virus trace wondering how long it will take::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  I'm getting a report that the panel has been replaced and they are ready to go back online.
Nurse_Lenny says:
CNS: That is a lot to remember actually. But I will try and remember it. Do you really think this will work?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::walks out of the RR:: CMO: Commander! Report!
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::follows the XO and cannot help but smile Whispers:: XO: Please tell me I do not sound like that
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Thank you. Tell them to activate one up here.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::looks back and whispers:: CO: Only on a bad day. ::smiles::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Yeah it could work, the thing is you'll never know unless you try it.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye sw... Sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::jumps up from the big chair.:: XO: Commander! Everything seems to be okay for now. Replicators are being tested as we speak. Oh... and we might have 4 ships on our tail, but they will not bother us anytime soon... I hope.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> OPS: Sir, the trace is complete, the virus has been wiped
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::grins at Karri::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: How long have they been there?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: taps the console :: CEO:  Starboard replicator online Sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
Zen: Good work, Ensign. Inform Engineering immediately.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::walks up to her chair :: CMO: 4 Ships ?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Thank you. CMO: Starboard replicator is online sir.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::enters the bridge after he left the bridge for an important personal communiqué he got transferred to his quarters::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes ma'am, they're too far away for the moment, but the SO is keeping track of them.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> CEO: Sir, the virus has been successfully removed. We're ready to bring replicators back online
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::face is not set on happy mode::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::turns around:: Zen: We are already on it, thank you. I'm going to need a report on that trace though.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CMO: understood CIV: Find out what you can about them and plot their course... I want sensors on them at all times
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO: welcome back
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Steps away from the chair.::

<FCO_Wrng_Way>  :: stands to allow the FCO to take his place :: FCO;  All yours Sir.

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::turns to OPS and replies not too happy:: OPS: Erm, thank you, Sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> CEO: Certainly, Sir. I'll get back to you. ::turns back to console momentarily::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
FCO Way: Thank you. ::takes his place at the Conn and logs in::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::With the CO and XO back on the bridge he walks over to the replicator.:: CEO: Let's see if this works then.

<FCO_Wrng_Way> :: whispers ::  FCO:  Be careful of the Doc, he's not sure which way we should be going.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO: Is something wrong Vonir, ::speaks softer::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: Aye Sir ::begins scanning::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::approaches the CMO:: CMO: It would have been nice to know about those ships as soon as they appeared.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::bites his lower lip as the Doc walks over to the replicator::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen>: CEO:  Seems it was from a panel installed back on the star base. Never can trust their engineers...
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks disapprovingly at Zen:: Zen: Understood. ::then looks over at Karri:: EO: Well? ::grins::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
SO: Continue scanning, I want to know if there is any other surprises out there
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
XO: Sorry, but since they were just within range of our long sensors, I thought I didn't need to bother you guys. ::Arrives at the replicator.:: Replicator: Tea, earl grey, hot please.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
OPS: Yes, I just got a communiqué from my family. My mother passed away. ::tries to hold up his tears::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
Zen: Now isn't the time for camaraderie Ensign. ::walks over to the FCO and puts a hand on his shoulder:: FCO: I'm so sorry to hear that
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CO:  Running scans.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: The ships are at the limit of our sensor range, I have no further detail

ACTION:  Tea, Earl Grey, Hot, materializes in the replicator.

Nurse_Lenny says:
::Grows quiet for a moment to write everything down.:: CNS: Well... ::Sighs:: I hope I haven't been too much of a bother?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV: I want a full tactical run down of evasive procedures if we are required to use any please
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Well at least you know how to make up for it. ::takes the tea and starts drinking it::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: No, no you've been no bother just happy I can be of some help.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: Yes captain, tactical systems are standing by
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
OPS: Thank you sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO: I know there's a counsellor on board, and I'd recommend you pay her a visit, she's very good, but if there’s anything I can do for you just mention it and it’s done
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV: Understood Keep an eye on them as soon as they are in range full scans including weapons
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks a little surprised as the XO takes the tea:: XO: Well... err... your welcome sir. ::Turns around:: CEO: Chief, they seem to be fine, unless the XO drops down in a few seconds. Get them all on line please.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
FCO: what space are we in at the moment
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::smiles:: CMO: Yes sir.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
OPS: That might be a good thing to do Sir. I had a very strong bond with my mother.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Please tell Engineering to get all replicators back online, then I want to know how you missed that virus on the star base. ::grins::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::sees the FCO needs to work:: FCO: you know where to find me. ::pats his shoulder as he leaves back for OPS console::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::walks back to his seat:: CO: You see? He'll fit in just great up here.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, the ships are maintaining a parallel course to ours, maintaining their distance
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CO:  The vessels are travelling parallel to the Scimitar.  We're not gaining on them nor are we drifting behind.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::thinks of the OPS to be a very nice understanding person::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
CO: Sir, you want to know the ETA?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye Sir.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Smiles:: XO:  He's to have his own shift .. every now and again ::hears both the So and CIV::
Nurse_Lenny says:
::nods:: CNS: Thank you Chloe. I feel like I've found a good friend in you. I hope you don't mind me saying so?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: No I don't mind you saying so. And your most welcome. ::smiles::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV/XO/FCO: Lets play a game of cat and mouse and see what they are up to CIV: Commander I want to watch every thing they do FCO: Slow to warp 7 for 20 seconds then take us back to warp 8 on my mark
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV: let me know when you are ready
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: Ready now
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks back to his chair next to the CO's.:: XO: Just don't spill that tea over anything.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
FCO: Warp 7 Now Ensign.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
Zen: I want you to monitor power changes as we do this manoeuvre...I don't want power going out now
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::nods:: CO: Warp 7.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::Begins scanning::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::almost spills his tea as the ship slows down::

ACTION:  The Scimitar drops to warp 7 and the 4 ships follow suit.

CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
FCO: Warp 8 now please
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: Sir, I'd like to contact Starfleet with your permission, now that circumstances have changed, for permission to increase maximum speed.
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Wonders if the counsellor was being professional or personal on that remark. She grabs the PADD with her notes and gets up.:: CNS: Well... I think I just... errr... go and see what I can plan now?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, they have matched our slower speed
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::accelerates to warp 8:: CO: Back at warp 8, Sir.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Ok, I'm going to take a wander to the bridge.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::sends a message from his console to the CNS to make an appointment::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: right no Lt we don't know what they are up to until I have verification will continue at warp 8
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::walks along the corridor to the turbo lift::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::sits down, trying to figure out what the CO is planning to do.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: Understood ma’am.
Nurse_Lenny says:
::Leaves the office together with the counsellor.:: CNS: Thank you again Chloe. I will let you know how things went later. ::smiles::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::enters the turbo lift:: turbo lift: Bridge please.
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: keeps her eyes on the engineering console as the ship made the manoeuvres from warp 8 to 7 back to 8.::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV/XO/SO: So gentleman ideas on why they could be following us, they are staying out of sensor range for a reason, SO: Can we drop a probe that could give us data
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV: TAC analysis Mr Esjam
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Wouldn't really do us much good... they're over there. ::points over to the side of the bridge and smiles::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Zen> ::heads off the bridge to attend to other duties::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::leaves the turbo lift and enters the bridge::
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CO:  We could launch a probe, but any attempts to learn anything from it would be useless.
Nurse_Lenny says:
::heads back towards sickbay, going over the information she wrote down on the PADD.::
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Warp reactor remains stable Sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: Clearly they are waiting for us to do something or are waiting for someone else. Maybe they are waiting for reinforcements to overwhelm us
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Thank you Ensign.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
SO: why is that ?
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CO:  Well, considering that they are parallel to us, a probe wouldn't help anymore than sensors are now.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::hazards entering the conversation uninvited:: CO: Captain, what about a shuttle?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV/SO/XO: then we need to get them out of the shadow
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: it wouldn’t stand a chance if they attacked it
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::Looks around the bridge thinking this was not a good time::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::looks interested at all the officers talking.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: What if we altered our course slightly?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: At the moment they do not pose a threat, merely an annoyance
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::scans the area for the nearest allied ship::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CO: Or we could turn to confront them directly
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
CO:  For all we know, they could be studying us.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CIV: Do you think we could survive that.. We had two before and they gave us a run for our money
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::glances over at Karri for a moment, before looking back to his console::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CIV: I don't like annoyances they turn into a pain unexpected ....::looks at Both her CIV and XO:: XO: What do you think by turning into them and letting them know we know they are here ?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
OPS: Unknown, we cannot be sure they are Orions
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Sounds good to me.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO/CIV: There were ferengi before, isn't there any way we can scan specifically for ferengi?
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
:: sneaks a look over at the CEO and then back at her console ::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Makes her decision:: CIV: Shields up Mr Esjam yellow alert weapons on stand by
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CO: What about some silent torpedo drops? They could fly right into them, slow them down a bit
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:

CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CEO: Repair teams to be ready
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
OPS:  Attack for no reason?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
OPS: The ships are currently out of sensor range
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: Mr MacAllister make sure crew are ready for battle if need be
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CO: Yes Captain, dispatching repair teams to all critical areas now. Shields are at full power.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
SO: No, we could just give them a fireworks display
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Get our repair teams going. I want two teams at the starboard nacelle.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
SO: And its not exactly for no reason is it...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
FCO: Change course warp 3 co ordinates in the direction of our friends
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Starts feeling uneasy again, even though he isn't the one in charge on the bridge now.:: Self: Oh please... not again.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::distracted:: CO: Aye sir.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
OPS: Make sure power reserves are ready to be distributed where needed
SO_Ens_Hammond says:
OPS: Depends on how you look at it.  All they're doing is following us, no threat has been made.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CMO: Please inform the Ambassador of our actions
EO_Ens_Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye Sir.  Shall I see to it personally?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::mentally prepares himself for a battle:: CO: Already done ma’am, operations crews are posted in crucial areas.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Yes please.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods and activates the ship wide Comm.:: Ship wide: All hands this is the bridge, please report battle stations manned and ready.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks surprised at the captain.:: CO: Yes... ma'am. Errr... personally?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
