Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::sitting at the long table in the briefing room::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::sits, leaning back in the chair his arms crossed::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::rushes into the conference room:: CO: Sorry I took my time. ::hands over a hat:: Is this a good enough thinking cap, Sir?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::looks at the Andorian, his brows raised::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
OPS: I might have known you'd take it literally Thalev, have a seat.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::takes a seat, and not literally::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::sees the CTO's raised brows:: CTO: Put them down Tony you'll have someone's eye out.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Aye sir.

<Lorianna>  ::appears in the briefing room and takes a seat::

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Glad you could join us.

<Lorianna>  ::nods:: CO:  Thank you Captain.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: I take it Raven got back to the surface alright?

<Lorianna>  CO:  Yes Captain, she did.

<Lorianna>  CO:  The counsellor is still speaking with one of the other women that Raven brought with her.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::hates that these meetings always take ages to get started::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Very well, I'll have a word with her later. ::smiles::

<Lorianna>  ::nods and waits for the meeting to start::

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
All: I've called this meeting to discuss our options... as you know, Raven seems unwilling to treat the males on this ship as equals, No offence Lorianna but it's not something we're used to.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: It shouldn't be a hard adjustment for the crew - Some of the males may enjoy having a lighter workload.

<Lorianna>  CO:  None taken Captain.  But, she did assure you that you would be able to visit the surface unmolested should you wish to visit.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: One question...

<Lorianna>  CTO:  Yes Lt?

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
OPS: True, but we can't just give up and let them take over the ship... we might not get it back. ::grins::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: No, but it'd be a lot cleaner.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: Does your sister know how earth was destroyed and who did it? ::said with sorrow in his voice::

<Lorianna> CTO:  She knows only what has been handed down to her, just as I do.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: So that's a no?

<Lorianna>  CTO: We know who they are Lt.  It's just that they do not have as prestigious a standing in your universe.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: I still want to know! ::almost shouting::

<Lorianna>  CTO: And of course, we call them Overseers.  You call them Ferengi.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Lieutenant... calm down. The real Earth is just...how would you say it...fine and dandy.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Self: Ferengi...........the toads did this?

<Lorianna>  CTO:  Yes, they did.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: And where can we find these... "Overseers"?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Self: My god....that's just, funny and sad of course.

<Lorianna>  CO:  On their home planet.  Or anywhere they wish to go.  They are everywhere.  They own everything.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: Why doesn't that surprise me?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: What?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: So where do the Romulans fit in to it?

<Lorianna>  CO:  We have rebelled as much as we can from them.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::getting a little restless but not showing it::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: The Ferengi owning everything, isn't that what they dream of back home?

<Lorianna>  CO:  The Romulans are the Overseers watch dogs.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
All: Romulans working for the Ferengi? Stands to reason they'd hire bodyguards.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Self: Rules of acquisitions no. 48: The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Guess they were right; I've never liked a Ferengi smiling.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::rolls his eyes as he hears the rules of acquisition::

<Lorianna> ::looks quickly at the CTO :: CTO:  How did you know one of the laws?

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: Me neither, usually means they're up to something...
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: I knew a girl once that studied Ferengi history....

<Lorianna>  CTO:  I see.  I am still in the process of looking over your files on history.  I have not made it that far.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::enters the conference room:: CO: Sorry I'm late Captain
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: In our universe, the Ferengi are nothing more than used car salesmen. Travelling the galaxy to cheat latinum out of people.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
All: So we know that the Ferengi are basically in charge here and that they're using Romulan muscle, hopefully that'll be enough to keep us alive while we're here... what we need, however, is to figure out how to get back.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::quickly takes a seat::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::looks up at the CMO and notices his lack of a thinking cap::

<Lorianna>  CTO: One moments please, while I reference "used car salesman"............

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CMO: Nice of you to join us Lieutenant.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: What I mean is that they are dishonest businessmen, they lie and cheat. But they are not a threat to anyone.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::sits quietly::
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
Self: At least some things don't change in different universes.

<Lorianna>  CTO: I see...dishonest, annoying, preying on the weak minded.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
OPS: Did you get anything from the scans of the object that sent us here that might help us?

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::looks at the doc:: CMO: Other than they rule the galaxy here Doc.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
CTO: Well there’s that.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Yes, I do have some scans of the object. The object was merely debris... of Ferengi origin.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
OPS: Debris? Like from a ship?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: It resembled a reconnaissance satellite.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
ALL: One way to keep an eye on your galaxy

<Lorianna>  OPS:  That would be one of the Overseers eyes.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
OPS: A recon satellite? I didn't know they had any... I don't suppose there's any chance of finding out whether it came from our reality or this one?

<Lorianna>  OPS:  That is why we developed the planetary shield.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
ALL: Is there a way that we can use this debris to tap into this network of "eyes"?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::perks up a little at the CMO's idea:: CMO: That may be a feasible plan, but I have a feeling that they'd want to keep them hidden.

<Lorianna>  CMO:  That is what happened to my ship.  We didn't detect the eye quickly enough.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: did your vessel collide with the eye?

<Lorianna>  CO:  Yes, it popped out of nowhere.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
CO: Sir I'm not engineer but I would assume that maybe we can disable the sensor array and just active the data feed. So they would not know what is going on in the area.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Then it's entirely possible that you brought it with you when you fell into our reality.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
All: Its logical to say the satellite came from this reality.

<Lorianna>  CO:  It is possible.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CMO: Kind of like looping the scan results from the entire network over and over so all they see is exactly the same thing?

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
All: Or maybe we can go one step further and use it to make them see what we want them to see.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
CO: Yes Sir, it would give us some tactical information and maybe we can disable the network.

<Lorianna>  CO:  You would have to find one first and they hide them very well.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
OPS: Is there anything in the debris that could help us try to find a working satellite?

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: What about the shielding that you developed to hide here, can that be adapted in such a way as to mount it on a ship?

<Lorianna>  CO: It takes a tremendous amount of power to operate.  I do not think that this ship is large enough to hold it.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: What about your ships? They’re certainly large enough in terms of size.

<Lorianna>  CO:  I do not know Captain.  The ships that are here are much different than the one that I was on.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
All: This is all wonderful...but who cares? Our priority should be how to get back, not tinkering with the status of this galaxy.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
All: I concur.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
OPS: There's a first.

<Lorianna>  CO: I must agree with LtJG Adalberto.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: Please....Tony.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Want me to change my mind?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO/OPS: And what if tinkering with the status is our only way back? It seems to me that in order to open another rift we need to find one of these spy satellites.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I don't know Sir, finding a satellite is one thing but more than that...
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Or return to where we appeared and try and recreate the original incident.

<Lorianna>  CTO:  That would be logical.....Lt....Tony.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Lorianna: Thank you. Please tell the Vulcan counsellor that, she keeps saying I'm not.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: I agree that the position is quite important... but without a satellite we can't recreate anything.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Are you sure? We are not engineers or scientists; we can use the sensor data and use the ....deflector? Probably polarize something. ::shrugs::

<Lorianna>  CO:  That is also correct Captain.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I don't know Sir...

<Lorianna>  CTO:  That may also be a possibility.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::grins::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: That's your answer to everything Tony... ::grins:: Polarise something or destroy it... but in this case you may have something, work with Science on finding a way to reconfigure the deflector.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::sees the CO has made his mind up::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Me sir? I don't know the difference between an ODN conduit and a replicator.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
OPS: See if you can find a way of detecting the satellites.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: It was your idea Tony, and that's why I said work with the science department.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Aye Sir
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::lets out a sigh and mutters something about not liking geeks::
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::looks around as the engineering talks starts::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Can you contact Raven and ask for her help? She knows your technology and may also know if it's possible to fit the shield generators to your ships.

<Lorianna>  CO:  I will ask Captain.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Alright boss, I'll see what I can get these blue shirts to do.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CMO: Doctor, if we leave this protective bubble we're most likely going to run into some resistance, I want your staff briefed and standing by at all times.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
CO: Aye sir
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
All: That is all... to your tasks Gentlemen.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::looks up at the word "blue"::
