OPS: Ch'barton, right? With cinnamon?

XO_Lefler says:
*CO* All hands were evacuated to the appropriate sections before the separation sequence halted. Has the problem been fixed or are we still in danger?
Host CO_Wilkens says:
*XO* I’m not exactly clear on that, Commander. You may want a second opinion, though we seem to be safe for the time being.

XO_Lefler says:
*CO* Understood sir. I'll be back up in a moment.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*XO* Acknowledged, Wilkens out.

OPS_Dain says:
CO: I am unsure sir.. ::smells it:: Smells good whatever it is.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: Excellent, thank you once more. ::Sits in the captains chair, glancing up at the auxiliary illumination fixtures in thankfulness::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: I don't suppose I could interest you with some of the finest tea this side of... well, Starbase 78?

OPS_Dain says:
CO: I would love some.. don’t mind telling you.. that was hairy that separation.... :;holds out the extra cup she just happened to bring

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/OPS: If that works, I'll want some for me too. ::smiles::

CEO_Taylor says:
::Tries to figure it all out... how did it all start?::

CMO_OMallory says:
::MED teams begin reporting in::

CTO_Wakefield says:
OPS, CO:  No offense, but with the current situation I believe we should save computer power for fixing the computer.

OPS_Dain says:
CTO: I agree but lets wait for the CEO .. :;looks at the Captain::

CEO_Taylor says:
Self: Oh my god!!! By George, I've got it!!!!!

CEO_Taylor says:
*TR Chief* Chief, shut down the entire TR system! now!!

Host Computer says:
<TR chief> *CEO* Aye sir, done, Transports offline.

CEO_Taylor says:
::looks to see if there is any results::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Grins, and pours a cup-full of the powerful tea into her glass:: OPS: Enjoy. ::Returns to pacing the bridge, worriedly watching the flickering consoles::

CSO_MacLeod says:
OPS: Just a second.  *CEO* Can I have some power for back up computers?  I really need it here!!!

CEO_Taylor says:
*CSO* I have bigger problems, stand by...

XO_Lefler says:
BattleBridge: Maintain a skeleton crew on the battle bridge until the situation is over.

CMO_OMallory says:
XO: Aye

OPS_Dain says:
::sips her tea as she goes back to her console::

CMO_OMallory says:
*Press* Make sure sickbay is ready for anything.

CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> *CMO* Understood sir.

XO_Lefler says:
TL: Bridge!

CMO_OMallory says:
::for now, takes command of the battle bridge::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO/CSO/OPS: We wait for the chief's good word until we attempt to restore power to the computer.

OPS_Dain says:
::nods at the CO.. glad his senses were not damaged.. and smiles smugly at CSO::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::replies the smile for OPS::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Well, I'm on stand by here... ::feels weak::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Are you feeling entirely okay, Lieutenant? ::Quickly moves to his side, ready to support him should he collapse::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'm okay, sir.  Just fine, don't worry.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Understood. But at the slightest signs of illness, you're returning to Sickbay A-S-A-P.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles to CO:: CO: Aye, sir.  By the way, I have a short report here to show you.

XO_Lefler says:
::Walks onto bridge and heads for his station. Notices his bag is still lying on floor::

XO_Lefler says:
::Reads over the reports coming into his computer panel. Finally takes the time to look around at his crew. Pauses as he spots OPS officer. Hmm. Cute::

OPS_Dain says:
::stands as XO enters:: XO: Let me have a yeoman stow that for you sir.. ::takes his bag::

XO_Lefler says:
OPS: Why thank you. Ummm. I don't know your name?

OPS_Dain says:
XO: Dain Nerissa Dain Sir. ::smiles::

OPS_Dain says:
::has the XO’s bag placed in capable hands:: XO: All taken care of sir ::gives orders to yeoman to unpack it too::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Regretfully regards his first officer, deciding that at the first opportunity, he'd sit down with him and properly welcome him aboard::

XO_Lefler says:
CO: All stations report standing by sir. We had no injuries in the confusion.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* I think I've figured it all out, I need a few minutes, sir.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Replaces his tea on the command conn, deciding that this is neither the time nor the place for a tea time::

Host Tim says:
<TR CHIEF> *CEO* Should I cut power to them as well?

CEO_Taylor says:
*TR Chief* Cut all power to EVERY transporters onboard, including the shuttle's.

Host Tim says:
<TR CHIEF>*CEO* Noted. ::cuts power to all transporters::

CMO_OMallory says:
::sits in command chair of battle bridge, watching and waiting::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*CEO* What exactly is it that you've... figured out?

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* All of it sir... the separation thing, the sickness, everything... McFly rigged the TRs to make us suffer! ::smiles::

Host Tim says:
ACTION; REPLICATOR IN XO'S QUARTERS LEAKS GOOY LIQUID OUT ONTO DECK

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*CEO* Makes you feel good, doesn't it?  Report to the bridge with your findings right away.
CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* On my way...

XO_Lefler says:
OPS: Well Miss Dain. It is Miss isn't it? The pleasure is all mine., I assure you.

OPS_Dain says:
::smiles at him.. oh what a charmer.. should be good gossip about him by morning:: XO: Pleasure is all mine sir.. and yes.. Miss... for now anyway ::grins::

XO_Lefler says:
OPS: Now I suppose we should get back to work. ::Big smile::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: The sensors readings shows that the planet contains no humanoids of any kind, just lower lifeforms.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: And then LRS go offline.

OPS_Dain says:
::moves to her console and checks situation out with ME::

CEO_Taylor says:
::gets on the bridge::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Very well, though I'm afraid we'll have little time for exploration from here on out. ::Mutters something incoherently beneath his breath::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Nods to the CSO as if to say "Isn't that always the way of it," then turns around and heads back to the captains chair::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: Transmit an emergency signal to SFC on all local and standard electromagnetic frequencies. Attach our coordinates, position, and status.

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: We have to get to the nearest SB for complete TR refit, without a SB's help, it would close to impossible to get all of the booby traps that are in the TR PADDs...

OPS_Dain says:
CO: Aye sir.. ::taps out message and sends::

CMO_OMallory says:
::begins to pace battle bridge::

OPS_Dain says:
CO: Sir if I may.. :::turns:: Is it not the computer that showed us this uncharted planet.. maybe it is not there.... ::shrug:: Seems to be lots of things wrong and.....

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Contemplates swearing aloud, but settles for sharing the curse with himself alone::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CEO: So, can we have some power here?? ::smiles::
CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: Of course not, we have much pressing matters...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::stands and moves to the new crewman::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: True enough. But I DID order a probe to be launched to scan the nebula in-depth...

CEO_Taylor says:
::smiles at him, presses a few buttons and the CSO's console begins illuminating... as is CSO when he sees it::

OPS_Dain says:
CO: It is highly possible that the planet was placed in our computer memory by the same person that had our separation sequence start.

CMO_OMallory says:
*CO* O'Mallory to Captain.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*CMO* Go ahead. ::Inwardly groans at the hissing and popping of static over the comm frequency::

CMO_OMallory says:
*CO* Sir, do you still want the battle bridge manned at this time?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*CMO* For the time being, yes, Commander.

CMO_OMallory says:
*CO* Understood.  O'Mallory out

XO_Lefler says:
OPS: So does stuff like this happen often to you guys?

OPS_Dain says:
XO: Everyday.... we are cursed ::laughs::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: ::Nods, deeply contemplating this:: Well... ::Shrugs, clearly indicating he just doesn't know:: What is your recommendation?

OPS_Dain says:
::smiles back at him:: CO: Head for the nearest SB sir.

XO_Lefler says:
OPS: Great. Glad to be here. ::Big smile::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Sir?  I am LtJG Mauro MacLeod, nice to meet you, and welcome.

CEO_Taylor says:
::restarts the main computer and leaves the TRs offline::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/OPS: Well, the readings did come from the probe, at least I think so, I cannot access the computer to check it.
Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Mutters:: If we can make it...

CEO_Taylor says:
::awaits CO's reply::

CMO_OMallory says:
All: Ok, while we wait, let's run a couple of tests and scenarios to keep us ready.

Host Tim says:
ACTION:  MAIN COMPUTER REBOOTS, ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::awaits XO's reply::

OPS_Dain says:
CO: Computers are re-booting.. all appears.. ::pauses:: Normal sir.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Captain, the main computer is back on-line, and all system are in the green.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: If you'll recall, that what we also thought before this incident...?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CEO: What's the status of our propulsions systems?

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: With the computer coming back online, we should have propulsion in a few minutes, sir...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
All: Okay... who restarted the computer? ::Watches the normal lighting flicker on, and consoles return to their standard displays::

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: I did, must be because that's my job. ::grins::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CEO: And a good job you do of it. ::Returns his smile with a  curt nod and a grin::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the computer rebooting and heads back to his station::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: PROBE RESULTS START DOWNLOADING

OPS_Dain says:
CO: Probe results are coming in....

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks to sensor readings, a lot of incoming readings at the same time::
CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: Happy now? You got power. ::smiles and taps his shoulder::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CEO: Yes... thanks! ::smiles::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: ::Apprehensively:: And?

OPS_Dain says:
::looks back at CSO::

XO_Lefler says:
::Checks ships status. Everything LOOKS normal::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CEO: I want you to personally oversee the physical examination of every computer-automated system.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Confirm.  The planet shows no humanoids, just lower life forms...  stand by...

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I am well aware Captain.  In fact I've been meaning to talk to you about stepping up standard security for the time being.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: I'll gladly consider any reports you make, Ensign. ::Smiles outwardly::

CTO_Wakefield says:
::completes scans of region::  CO:  Sensors show the area is empty of any starship traffic.  All I show is the M class planet.

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: It'll be done... but for the TRs, I can't risk going in without a SB's crew to help me...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: No traffic inside the nebula, I have just the planet, sir.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Wonders if he's the only one that finds the CTO's report unusual::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO/CTO: Understood.

CEO_Taylor says:
Self: Another great day in the Gryphon adventure....

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CTO: Confirm, no traffic.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*CMO* Stand down, you may begin relieving battle bridge personnel.

CMO_OMallory says:
All: Return to normal stations and secure battle bridge.

OPS_Dain says:
CO: I concur with the CSO.. looks clean.. too clean if you ask me.. ::looks at the viewer::

Host Tim says:
