TAC:: You are new here I think?  Good to have you aboard ::smiles::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::wonders if Perkins is at attention because of me::

Cpt_McD says:
XO: That is classified for now...All I can tell you is that we're not taking the Scimitar.
Cpt_McD says:
::walks out into the docking gangway:: ALL: Please follow me.
XO_Hart says:

Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::enters the transport ship with the rest of the group::
XO_Hart says:
Mizzi:: We have not yet had a chance to talk ..... I understand your son is aboard Scimitar .... how is he getting on?
SOPerkins says:
::does a quick diagnostic on the science console and sets it up to her preference::
CEO_Reed says:

Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi>Hart: He's having a hard time adjusting....
Cpt_McD says:
::turns around, and sits in the Captain's Chair:: Okay everyone...take your stations.
XO_Hart says:

XO: Commander Hart...Take us out.
SOPerkins says:
::finishes the diagnostic and looks up at the Captain, waiting for orders::

XO_Hart says:
CO:: what course Sir? where are we headed?
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::checks on system's power status...::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi>::doesn't even know the name of the ship::
CEO_Reed says:

::goes to helm:: Mizzi:: Can you handle the undocking permissions please
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi>Hart:  ::nods::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::contacts the starbase::
XO_Hart says:
CO:: Then once we have permission Mizzi will take us out .... go ahead Lt.
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi>Hart:  Permission granted sir.
SOPerkins says:
::eyes back on her board, checking the surrounding space for hazzards and ships::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::takes the ship out of Starbase 118::
XO_Hart says:
Mizzi:: Engage .... parking orbit until we are given our course please
SOPerkins says:
XO: we are clear to manover
XO_Hart says:
Perkins:: Thanks .... I did see that ...
SOPerkins says:
::nods and eyes go back to board::
Cpt_McD says:
XO: All stop.
XO_Hart says:
CEO:: I trust the engines are working satisfactorily?
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::turns to face the captain::
SOPerkins says:
::looks up::
XO_Hart says:
Crew:: As the CO says ... All Stop
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::makes sure the ship is at all-stop::
CEO_Reed says:
XO: From what I can tell, engines are working within normal parameters.
XO_Hart says:
::thinks this is really the weirdest CO she has worked with::
CEO_Reed says:
::thinks he is beginning to sound more like the computer every day::
SOPerkins says:
::feeling very uncomfortable::
Cpt_McD says:
Okay people....Please, if you will, remove your uniforms and dress in these black suits. I will explain in a moment.
XO_Hart says:
CEO:: Good .... keep them going Jason
SOPerkins says:
::looks around and hopes there is a dressing room as she is very shy::
XO_Hart says:
Crew:: I believe there is a private room behind the bridge ... we will take it in turns
XO_Hart says:
::grabs black uniform and marches into the cubicle behind the bridge ... locks the door::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> :;thinks the captain is perverted...  makes a note to complain to starfleet::
Cpt_McD says:
::is confused for a moment, then slaps his face:: XO: Thank you Naomi...I'm a little shaken today.
SOPerkins says:
::thinks she'll look awful in Black, as if her face wasn't pale enough::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi>::waits for turn to change::
XO_Hart says:
::changes quickly, exits back to the bridge:: Mizzi ... your turn I think
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi>::grabs black clothes...  makes a quick change and exits room::
XO_Hart says:
Perkins:: You are next ... then Reed ... then the Security staff
SOPerkins says:
::stands and takes the clothes, changes and sits back at her station::
XO_Hart says:
::smooths down the uniform ... quite likes the look::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi>::wishes the CO would start the briefing::
XO_Hart says:
::runs fingers to loosen her silver/gold hair::
CEO_Reed says:
::walks into room...quickly changes...returns to station::
Cpt_McD says:
::stands in front of his chair, typing away at his PADD, careful to make sure no one sees::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::looks at Hart and wonders where she got the amazing dye job::
XO_Hart says:
::realises that she forgot Fairday:: You are the last Fairday ....
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::thinks Micheal would freak out if he saw me with silver hair::
SOPerkins says:
::eyes continue to monitor her board::
XO_Hart says:
<Security 1,2 and 3 changed and back ... Fairday changing::
CEO_Reed says:
::still waiting for the bad news ::
XO_Hart says:
CO:: Sir ::as Fairday returns changed into the black gear:: All changed now Sir
Cpt_McD says:
Well...Here's the bad news.
XO_Hart says:
::sits forward waiting for the CO to let them in on the secret::
Cpt_McD says:
We are on a covert operation by Starfleet Intelligence.
SOPerkins says:
::turns to face the CO::
SOPerkins says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_Reed says:
::I figured that much::
XO_Hart says:
::pretty obvious::
Cpt_McD says:
A high-level Cardassian informant, with valuable information on the Dominion military, has defected and headed to the neutral planet Piergo IV
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::listens::
Cpt_McD says:
We have been ordered to secretly go in and get that informant. We will be posing as merchants, with no connection to Starfleet whatsoever.
XO_Hart says:
CO:: Question Sir
SOPerkins says:
::thinks...I'm gonna die, yup...gonna die::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::wonders if Micheal knows where she is::
Cpt_McD says:
::turns:: XO: Yes?
XO_Hart says:
CO:: What is the cargo manifest?  And would merchants dress in black uniforms?
SOPerkins says:
::wonders why they chose her for this mission, she fairly clumsy and nervous all the time::
Cpt_McD says:
XO: Our cargo is fabrics, herbs, and replicators. As for the second question... ::shrugs:: It's standard covert operations uniforms. We'll figure out something along the way
CEO_Reed says:
::glances at console, reading ship specs::
XO_Hart says:
CO:: If I might suggest sir .... merchants usually dress well ..... I think we could do better than black uniforms
Cpt_McD says:
XO: So do I. ::smirks a little bit:: But that will be dealt with en route. So...Set a course for Piergo IV, Warp 4.
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::still listens::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::nods to CO::
SOPerkins says:
::keeps her place and remains silent::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> ::turns and lays in a course for Piergo IV::
XO_Hart says:
Mizzi:: If you have the co-ordinates ... engage when ready
SOPerkins says:
::eyes back to scanners::
Host JamesGM says:
<Mizzi> CO: Aye sir...  ::engages:: Warp 4...  engaged..
Cpt_McD says:
::takes a seat...trying to lighten up a little bit from his apparently totally-authoritative look::
XO_Hart says:
CO:: On our way Sir ... but we really need to get out of this gear soon ..... I understand Piergo 1V customs inspectors are very thorough
CEO_Reed says:
::walks away from console and replicates a black hat to match the suit::
