CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::steps out onto the Bridge, his shift just starting after a long night with Samantha and yawns::
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::walks to the ready room and rings the bell:: CTO: Good timing,  you have the bridge.
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::steps onto the bridge, carefully avoiding the gaze of any commanding officers than might be present::
CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::sat behind his desk with a coffee waiting for a report from the Amazonians::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::stops in the middle of the Bridge:: AXO: Sure?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::walks over to the centre chair and sits down::
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::signs into her station with a sigh::
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::looks back and sees the CTO using the big chair (tm) and smiles inwardly::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::looks around the Bridge at the crew:: All: So.........
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::wonders what inane thing the CTO has to say now::

<Lorianna> ::appears in the Captain's ready room::

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::clears his throat and sits up signing onto the arm console::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
All: Uhm.....status?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::looks up:: Door: Enter.
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
CTO: Sitting here... not doing anything... you?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::also spots Lorianna:: Lorianna: Ah there you are. ::smiles:: Any news?
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::enters the ready room:: Lorianna: Lorianna. CO: Captain.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
FCO: Uhm...::shrugs::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
AXO: What have you got?

<Lorianna> :: nods at Idrani :: CO:  Captain, Raven has informed me that they have been able to adjust the shielding for one of their ships.

FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::swivels in her chair, looking to the CTO and leaning against the flight console::
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Well three pairs of... oh you mean... nothing to update you on Sir; I actually wanted to speak about going to the surface.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::grins back at her::
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::scratches near her nose piercing, watching the CTO with an expressionless face::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
FCO: Something on my face? ::grins then crosses his legs::
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
CTO: Something behind it.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
AXO: It's starting to look like that won't be necessary. ::turns to Lorianna:: Lorianna: When will they be ready to go?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::chuckles and switches off the arm console::
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: In that case, ::swivels on the spot:: I'll be on the bridge
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::runs her fingers through her hair, turning back to her console::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::nods:: AXO: I'll be out shortly.

<Lorianna> CO:  Within 24 hours Captain.

AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::walks back onto the bridge and over to the flight console::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::stands up:: AXO: Can you take this Bridge back please? ::shakes his head and walks back to Tactical::
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Take it back where?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::straightens his jacket and logs into his Tactical console::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Then we have some preparations to make. ::smiles and stands up::

<Lorianna> CO:  Of course Captain.

AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::talks to the FCO at a level only she'd hear it:: FCO: Like the new console?
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
AXO: I'm having trouble liking much of anything right now...
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: What's wrong, Sara?
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
AXO: I don't like being here. It's wearing on the nerves. I can feel it resonating throughout the crew.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::pauses before he leaves for the bridge:: Lorianna: Would I be correct in assuming you'd like to return to your family when we leave?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::overhears her:: FCO: What do you mean....this place is absolutely charming! ::said sarcastically::
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::gives the AXO a weak smile:: AXO: Like that.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: You mean in this reality... no neither do I ::looks sincerely at her:: Neither do I, but this crew is very competent. I have faith we'll get back soon and then we can have some more of your real-cooked pasta.

<Lorianna> :: looks at the CO kind of funny ::  CO:  Do you wish that I leave?

FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::smiles a bit more, taking his hand gently for a moment:: AXO: As long as we don't get called away again...
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::turns and looks Lorianna in the holographic eyes:: Lorianna: You are a free spirit, that's all... I thought you might want to return to your family and your rightful place here but the decision is yours to make. ::smiles reassuringly::

<Lorianna> CO:  Then I wish to stay with you...I mean with the ship.

AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: I'm hoping to put in for some long shore leave when we get back so we can spend some time together. And what exactly happened in there? ::gestures towards the ready room with his head::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::sighs, growing tired of watching the blue man and his girlfriend, and starts ordering a tactical drill::
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
AXO: I opted to speak freely, and it didn't go so well. Let's just say don't be surprised if I end up on long maintenance duties...

ACTION:  Tactical sensors begin to go off.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::smiles:: Lorianna: Then you can stay. I have to admit I’ve gotten used to having you around.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
AXO: Tactical Alert.
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::sits up straight, activating the flight console::

<Lorianna> ::smiles:: CO:  Thank you, I shall go and finish my subroutine.

AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::sees the CTO in the corner of his eye and decides to get the CTO a game boy:: FCO: Well I know the CO's been stressed, don't worry about it too much ::smiles reassuringly then heads for his chair:: CTO: Explain.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::runs a scan of the system::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
AXO: Two unidentified vessels approaching sir. Recommend raising shields.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::nods with a smile and heads to the bridge::
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::puts impulse on stand-by::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
AXO: Running the vessels through the database now.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
AXO: Report.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::in sickbay ready for any wound that comes in::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::works the console:: AXO: Sir...I'm getting nothing from the Federation databanks....but getting a reply from the data Lorianna left us....Ferengi Battle Cruisers....far more advanced than their ships in our reality.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: What?!?! Red alert!
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Are we not still in the sensor net of Saturn?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Yes Sir, Red alert. Raising shields.
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
AXO: We should be... I haven't moved us at all.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: So how can they detect us?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::looks up to the ceiling:: Lorianna: Lorianna!
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
AXO: Never said they did.....they just triggered our tactical sensors.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: And 'far more advanced' means what exactly? Larger casino tables or something we need to worry about?

<Lorianna> ::appears:: CO:  Yes Captain?

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
AXO: More advanced phasers and shield systems, also stronger shields....I can't say more without research.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Contact Raven, let her know we have 2 Ferengi battlecruisers ::suppresses a chuckle as he says those words in the same sentence:: bearing down on our location.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Well, start looking over the research from the Amazonians so we know what we're up against. Are we in any immediate danger?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
AXO: What do you think I'm doing? Playing domjot?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::starts going over the blueprints::

<Lorianna> CO:  She is aware of that Captain.  She is not worried.

AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Just do it and watch your tongue
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::concentrates on his work, trying not to let the AXO get too much on his nerves::
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Geesh, he said he needs to do more research so I say do it and he moans... ::speaking only in earshot of the CTO:: CO: I’m starting to see things from your perspective.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Boss...from what Lorianna has in her databanks, these Ferengi Battle Cruisers are comparable to the Scimitar in firepower and offensive systems.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Self: Of course they are.

<Lorianna> CO:  They can not see us Captain.  I am certain that Lt Adalberto can confirm that.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Well I am, it's not that I don't have faith in your sister or her technology, more that they may have followed our Ion trail and could be wondering why it stops here.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::looks up at the disembodied voice:: CO: She's right, they have not activated their weaponry and seem to be going past our location.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::wonders what is going on::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::orders his officers to all vital areas of the ship::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: Let's just hope they keep going.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Yeah...because that's always what happens.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: Just keep a close eye on them.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::nods:: CO: Yes Boss!
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Move us into position under this vessel. ::points to one of the Amazonian vessels on the navigational display::
FCO_Ens_Sumner says:
::nods, using thrusts to manoeuvre them under the cover of the Amazon ship::
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::moves over to his seat but remains standing::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: They are ignoring us....however they seem to be approaching the planet and slowing down.

ACTION:  The Ferengi vessels continue to search the area.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: How much do you want to bet that they're looking for us?
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Let's hope their sensors aren’t as good as their hearing.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::grins and returns his attention back to the console::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
CO: Uhm Mac.....they're signalling the surface.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Does this happen a lot round here?

<Lorianna> CO:  Does what happen a lot Captain?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: The Ferengi, they're obviously here looking for something, or someone.

<Lorianna> CO:  They come to check on the colony, to assure themselves that we have not grown enough to cause them any trouble.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Having seen the technology they have here I reckon you could cause them a whole heap of trouble.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::sits::

ACTION:  4 crewmen run into sickbay, 3 of them carrying the 4th.  A large cylindrical object, about 6 feet long, sticking out of his right shoulder.  They are all wearing what appears to be pirate gear.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::rushes over to the crewman and directs them to a biobed:: ALL: What happened?
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::opens a tricorder and begins his scans of the wounded officer::

<Crewman 1> CMO:  Well, Doc...it's like this.....we were on this ship....a sailing ship…and we went to hunt this whale....and well....it kind of went wrong....

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
AXO: See if you can tap in to their conversation, I'd like to hear it.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::moves to his console:: CO: Aye, but won't be easy

<Lorianna> CO:  Not really Captain, but, we can hide effectively.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::looks confused:: Crewman 1: Whale? Sailing ship?

<Crewman 1> ::nods::

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::closes the tricorder and injects the patient with a pain killer::

<Crewman 2> CMO:  Yeah, we like to play...pirates... ::smiles weakly::

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: Yes but with the addition of this shielding technology to each of your ships you can stay hidden and mobile.

<Lorianna> ::nods::

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
Crewman 1, 2, 3: Where the holodeck safeties on?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
Lorianna: It would also mean that the Amazonians would be a force to reckon with.

ACTION:  All of the crewmen’s faces turn red and they look anywhere but at the Doctor.

<Lorianna> CO:  Perhaps.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
O'Brien: Prep this man for surgery
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::looks at the crewmen and knows the answer:: Crewman 1, 2, 3: I'll inform you when he’s out of surgery and gentlemen next time use the safeties. They are there for a reason.
AXO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::starts looking for a way to hack into the Ferengi comm lines::

<Lenny>  CMO:  Of course Doctor.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
::smiles at Lorianna::

<Crewmen 1, 2 and 3>  CMO:  Yes Doctor.

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::moves into the surgical room and puts on a surgical gown::

<Lenny> ::helps the Dr prep for surgery::

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
CTO: The sooner we get home the better.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::his eyes locked on those vessels:: CO: Got that right.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::moves toward the patient and orders the nurse to put him under::
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
Lenny: Lets begin.

<Ferengi CO> @ *Raven*  Good day to you Princess.  Just checking on my little colony here.  ::chuckles::
