Host XO_Taylor says:
::Gets on the bridge:: All dep. heads: Report please.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::heads towards SCI::

EO_On says:
::leaves his quarters and he is in the corridor to ME::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Hello, Lt. I found a bit of information that we will need to discuss.... and that might change our plans.

CMO_Turok says:
*XO* Sickbay here, all is in readiness.

FCO_Adams says:
::checks her readings:: XO: All helm systems show ready.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at XO:: XO: In a second, Commander, I just arrived from astrometrics. ::takes SCI 1::

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Nothing on Tactical sensors...

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Have we reached the hiding place which you found earlier?

FCO_Adams says:
::nods at Mauro::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Hhhmm...  not good news, huh?

FCO_Adams says:
XO: ETA in two minutes sir.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Good news.... depends on your definition of good.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::nods to FCO::

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Do you need any help with anything?

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I just analyzed more data from the derelict. It shows that the wormhole device is an integral part of the Breen Science ship. So I guess removing it from the B'lha probably won't work.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sees Cassie nodding, smiles and nods back... even in the middle of trouble, she is gorgeous::

EO_On says:
::enters ME and goes to his console::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CIV: I want you to find the last known coordinates of the Breen SCI vessel please.

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Aye, Cmdr.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head::  CIV: Indeed, it changes everything we first thought.

EO_On says:
::goes to the replicator and orders a cup of coffee::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Unfortunately.... yes.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Commander, we have a problem...

CIV_Adrel says:
::taps on her console to find the last known coordinates::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: What?

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Take over tac.

EO_On says:
::the replicator materializes a cup of coffee and he takes it::

TO_Sachs says:
::Nods to the CTO:: CTO: All right...

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Approaching the coordinates of the new position. Taking the impulse engines to 1/4. Will maintain station keeping upon arrival.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: It looks like the wormhole device is an integral part of the Breen Science ship.  It indicates that, removing it from there, probably won't work.

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: I have sent to your console and the FCO's the last known coordinates. They are about 75 light years away.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Is the Grey Mode ready for activation?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: I believe so...

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: You mean that it can't be removed?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  I mean that, if we remove it, it will not work.

EO_On says:
::drinks his coffee and walks around ME::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Are you positive?

CTO_Hunter says:
*CEO* Is gray mode ready for activation?

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Then activate it, please.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: We are in position, thrusters firing.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: New coordinates, SCI vessel.

CEO_Solkar says:
CTO: Grey Mode ready on demand.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: I can't say for sure, commander, but being an integral part of the vessel...  probably it won't work.

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Active Gray mode.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Just like we needed this now... not being able to take the device out. We will need the whole Breen ship to make it work!

CTO_Hunter says:
*All Hands* Prepare for silent running.  All personnel not on duty return to your quarters.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Why? What component would it need?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Exactly. ::shakes his head::

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over at the XO and grumbles:: XO: Aye sir, acknowledged, setting course to the science vessel.

EO_On says:
::leaves the cup of coffee in a table and sees the CEO Solkar:: CEO: Is anything I can do in order to help?

TO_Sachs says:
::Activates gray mode::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Here we go!

FCO_Adams says:
::sets the new course:: XO: Course laid in Commander.

TO_Sachs says:
::Nods again, and awaits her next orders::

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Sir, I hope your not planning on going after the device with the Gryphon.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Engage, warp 7.

EO_On says:
::remembers that CEO is in shuttle bay: :*CEO* Is anything I can do in order to help?

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: We need to get closer, first.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks the latest info:: XO: The vessel creates a quantum flux in subspace that generates the necessary area for the protomatter to be detonated.

CEO_Solkar says:
*EO* Continue to oversee things in ME, keep an eye on the Gray Mode equipment and modifications... we are finished modifying the shuttle, so I am going to the bridge.

EO_On says:
*CEO* All right, sir

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir, I don't recommend warp while still in the field.

TO_Sachs says:
::Keeps an eye on the reading on her console::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  This creates the "wormhole".

CEO_Solkar says:
::heads to Bridge::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Very well, activate warp when it is safe, warp 7, maximum.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Very well.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Just want to make sure.  I also recommend we lower our speed as we get closer to minimize chances of detection.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Agreed, but we are 75 light years away, we need to get there sooner than in a year, if possible...

FCO_Adams says:
::takes the Gryphon to 1/2 impulse towards the edge of the field::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  If we are running after the device, we should get the ship as well.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I'll check the derelict's data a bit more... we never know with two sets of eyes analyzing it.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: I know sir.

EO_On says:
::sees the gray mode equipment and starts to run some diagnostics with the computer::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Aye.  We need everything we can get.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Yes, Mauro, as you pointed out, we will try to get the ship as well.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: It looks like a Prism mission, don't you think? ::smiles a bit::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Approaching the edge of the asteroid field in one minute.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Understood.

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Is there anything I can do sir?

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Yes man the tac station.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Might not be that easy to get the whole ship. I am sure the Breen will protect their device more than usual. And it's not like they will loan us the ship on demand.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::shrugs at CSO and wonders what he means, since he has never been on one... but has he??... Michael lets it slide off::

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Keep an eye on the threat board.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: We are clear of the field. At warp 7 it will take us 41.75 days to reach the coordinates of the Breen vessel.

EO_On says:
::the computer shows that the gray mode equipment is working properly::

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Alright, understood sir...

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: And if we do otherwise, we risk being discovered.

TO_Sachs says:
::Keeps a close watch on the threat board::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV: I'm more worried about the Jem Hadar.  The Breen are quite easy to deal with in comparison with the JH.

FCO_Adams says:
::turns back to the XO and smiles sarcastically:: XO: Understood Commander.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: As far as I'm concerned, one bad guy or another makes no difference to me... They are the enemy.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: But we don't know what the Breen learned in the past 5 years. That plus the Jem Hadar near by won't make that mission a piece of cake.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: I agree with the CSO. The Breen we can handle...its the JH that poses the greatest threats.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Well, we have to handle both...

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Maybe sir. But then I am sure that’s what Captain Adams said to her crew.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Is there any security procedures that should be implemented after the 45-minute length of the Grey Mode?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Not that I know of.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Very well.

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks over the TO shoulder::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV/CTO:  We have to coordinate our actions.  If we are really going to take that vessel, nothing can go wrong. ::looks at XO::   XO: Are we, sir?

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Is something wrong...

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Nope you’re doing a good job.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Sir I take it we going to try and capture that vessel?

FCO_Adams says:
::monitors the warp engines now running at warp 7::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: There's very little comm traffic of any kind at the moment.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::hears the CTO repeating his question::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: We probably are, but ultimately, it will be up to Captain O'Mallory to decide.

TO_Sachs says:
::Smiles, then goes back to work::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: And we also need to plan what we will do once we do get the ship. Because we might not have much time until people come to get us.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV/CTO:  Another thing... who is going to pilot that ship? ::looks at the FCO::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO/CIV/CTO: Do we have any way of knowing what the ship's bridge controls are like?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Then I suggest we figure out who is on the capture team.  As McLeod suggests we need to start practicing...What we going to do. I need to know what personnel are going to be on the assault teams.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over at Mackie and smiles::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Wait a second, if we are going to decide things, we are going to do it with the entire senior staff.

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Good idea, as all together we might see and think about things us talking like that on the bridge might not see.

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Sir, do you have a moment?

Host XO_Taylor says:
*Senior Staff* All senior staff, report to the observation lounge.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Gets  up:: ALL: There's no time like the present.

CTO_Hunter says:
To: One second. I have a staff meeting.

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Ok then, after reviewing the logs, it shows that most of the Breen and Dominion forces are mostly in Klingon space, and that there are not that many in Breen space.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir, am I really needed in that briefing? I'd prefer to maintain a watch on the helm.

EO_On says:
::hears the announcement made by the XO and goes to the observation lounge, leaves ME and tells Valerie Kint to take command of ME::

CEO_Solkar says:
::enters Observation Lounge::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Gets to the TL and hears FCO's question::

CMO_Turok says:
::Sighs, having just gotten to a part of the text he can actually understand.::

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Noted I am off to the Lounge. ::heads for the staff meeting::

CMO_Turok says:
::Leaves the Sickbay and goes to the OL::

OPS_Shania says:
::heads to observation lounge::

CIV_Adrel says:
::calls a SO to come to SCI and then heads to the OL::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Do you really think that you have nothing to do there? We will need your input when it'll come to piloting the ship or the shuttle.

TO_Sachs says:
Self: Ok then, maybe not the important after all.  ::Goes back to watching tac::

CMO_Turok says:
::Arrives at the Observation lounge and stands against one wall, impatiently::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir I just meant that I need to keep a close eye on the helm at this time, since we are in enemy space.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::nods at Duraes and heads towards OL::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Gets in the TL:: TO: Ensign Sachs, you are a part of the senior staff, you are to report to the OBS lounge, please.

CIV_Adrel says:
::enters OL::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Sits down in the OL::

OPS_Shania says:
::enters OL and leans against the wall::

CTO_Hunter says:
::wonders if Shania is going to sit in the chair next to him

TO_Sachs says:
::Nods to the XO and heads to the OBS lounge::

FCO_Adams says:
::motions to a relief officer to take over the helm duties::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Gets in OBS Lounge::

EO_On says:
::arrives to the OBS Lounge::

TO_Sachs says:
::Follows the XO into the OBS lounge::

FCO_Adams says:
::heads for the OL upset that this is messing up her shift::

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'lumsy>::Mans the tactical station on the bridge with the rest of the junior varsity bridge crew::

EO_On says:
::sit down in a chair of the OBS Lounge::

FCO_Adams says:
::enters the OL and stands near the door for a quick getaway::

TO_Sachs says:
::Sits down next to the EO::

OPS_Shania says:
::sits down next to Hunter::

CTO_Hunter says:
::smiles at Shania::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Gets in front of the window and looks outside and thinks as the crew arrives::

EO_On says:
::sees the TO:: TO: Hi, we haven’t met. I am Edward On.

TO_Sachs says:
::Smiles:: EO: Hi, I’m marshal Sachs.

CTO_Hunter says:
::begins putting together the items an assault team would need...:::

EO_On says:
::shakes hands with TO::TO: Nice to meet you. ::smiles::

CIV_Adrel says:
::waits for the meeting to start::

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders what is taking so long::

TO_Sachs says:
::Shakes the EOs hand:: EO: Nice to meet you too...::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Turns around and takes a big breath before beginning::

OPS_Shania says:
::cleans her fingernails::

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: I am going to need to know how many spare Type III phaser rifles we have, and how many power clips we have.

Host XO_Taylor says:
ALL: Alright, everyone, we have decided to go toward the last known coordinates of the Breen SCI Vessel. Now, CSO has told us that for the device to work, it needs to stay on the vessel, therefore, we need to find a plan to take over the vessel.

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: Ok. I look it up.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Sir if I may…

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Yes, please, do tell us of your plan.

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Sits at the end of the table and looks at CTO::

FCO_Adams says:
::thinks to herself:: Self: Take over a freezing Breen vessel? This man is crazy.

EO_On says:
::takes attention of what XO is saying::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Stands:: All: Know this is just a rough plan.  We’re going to need at least three assault teams.

CMO_Turok says:
::Wonders what there is to plan.  Blast down the shields and beam over the troops.  Simple and effective.::

CTO_Hunter says:
All: One to capture the bridge, one to capture Main Engineering, and one to capture the device.  Because unless the Dominion force here are different they will destroy the device if we get close to capturing...

CTO_Hunter says:
All: All three teams will need to practice and the attack must be coordinated. If a team moves too quickly the mission may fail.

FCO_Adams says:
::raises her hand:: All: Excuse me.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::listens to CTO::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at Cassie::

TO_Sachs says:
::Pays attention to the CTO's plan::

CTO_Hunter says:
All: In addition to the three assault teams we will need three support teams; one Command to take over the bridge, one engineering to take over ME, and one science team to figure out the device. Once the three objects are secure the assault teams will have to the secure the rest of the vessel.

CTO_Hunter says:
FCO: Yes?

FCO_Adams says:
All: Do we know if the device emits a signature of some kind? If not, where would it most likely be located?

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: If I may, we also need troops in every team to take care of the enemy troops, right?

CIV_Adrel says:
::imagines the CTO's plan in her head::

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Not really Sir. The assault teams will clear an area before the support teams enter.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: I see.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: I also recommend that you lead the Bridge assault team, I lead the assault team on device, while Ensign Sachs leads the assault team on Main Engineering.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Do we have any specs of the SCI ship?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Yes sir.

TO_Sachs says:
::Hears her name and gives a nervous grin::

CTO_Hunter says:
CIV: Any answer for Adams question?

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Therefore, we know where the device is located. I think that we should do many holodeck practices before actually going through the mission.

FCO_Adams says:
::makes a note to update her will as soon as possible::

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Yes Sir.  In fact I recommend the Assault Team leader take their teams through the paces with the support teams, and all team leader will need to meet to make sure everything is ready to go.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Also, what are our chances of success?

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over at Adrel and waits for some kind of answer::

CIV_Adrel says:
CTO/FCO: We don't know yet, though, since it needs power, the most likely place the device would be is in ME.

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: No sign of a signature of any kind?

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: If we train right and we can get our attack down right, we have at least a 70% chance of meeting all objectives, however there is one more key to this plan.

TO_Sachs says:
::Raises her hand::

CTO_Hunter says:
All: We must make sure they cannot call for help.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO:  The device has a signature, when in use.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Good point. Any ideas?

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Yes?

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: I see Lt.

CIV_Adrel says:
FCO: That is why the data we have yet analyzed doesn't show its exact location.

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: Understood ma'am.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO:  One of those teams has to cut out their comm.

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: How many did you say will be on each team?

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO:  The other Gryphon's database shows it, but we don't have the pattern.

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Good idea. In fact if the device is in Main Engineering I might task a team for that detail....

CMO_Turok says:
XO: ::Steps forward::  Sir, I wish to lead one of the teams.  I will capture the bridge and cut their communications.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Thank you for that information Lt. ::smiles::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: As a matter of fact, this should be our first goal.  If they call for help, we'll be doomed.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: The CSO is right...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles back:: FCO: You're welcome.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CMO: We will discuss it later, Lieutenant.

EO_On says:
XO: Sir, I will be in a team. I will take care of ME.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Sir I believe that the CSO, CEO, Sachs, and Myself should work on the details of the assault.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: What if the ship isn't alone in the first place? It is obviously very important to the Dominion so I don't think they will let it fly alone.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks at Turok:: Self: Oh boy, Turok taking the bridge...we're all dead.

Host XO_Taylor says:
ALL: AS XO, I will take care of seeing where you all are most needed. We also need  to know exactly what we are going to do with the vessel once it is under our command.

CMO_Turok says:
::Growls quietly and leans back against the wall.  Wonders how many of these humans have ever engaged in hand to hand fighting::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Agreed.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CIV/CSO: Where do you think that the device is?

CSO_MacLeod says:
All:  Well, we have an idea about the ship's layout.  ::looks at Adrel, as she has a PADD with the info::

TO_Sachs says:
OPS: That is correct, but the data shows that there are minimum defenses in Breen space.

CIV_Adrel says:
::picks up the PADD::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  By the way, who's going to pilot that thing? ::looks at the FCO::

CIV_Adrel says:
All: The device runs a good length of the ship, with the emitter using the forward deflector dish.  Controls are in a special room near the center of the vessel, power conduits run up from engineering, laboratories and a holodeck for simms make up the bulk of the vessel.

CIV_Adrel says:
::puts the PADD back down but near her in case she needs it again::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Looks at CSO:: Our best pilot, of course.

FCO_Adams says:
::hits Mackie in the arm:: CSO: Shhh..

FCO_Adams says:
::rolls her eyes::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  And who is going to pilot our ship? ::raises both eyebrows::

CMO_Turok says:
XO: Why do we need to pilot it anywhere?  Open the wormhole where it is.

CSO_MacLeod says:
Self: Ouch!

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: As long as you are flying nothing, we will be safe.

EO_On says:
::sees how hard hits the FCO to the CSO and starts to wonders to mess with Cassie::

TO_Sachs says:
Self: Well this is going to be fun...

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Sir, any objection to CSO, CEO, Sach and myself working on the assault plans?

FCO_Adams says:
::thinks:: Self: Oh great, he wants me to fly a strange ship....some people....

CSO_MacLeod says:
CMO: Not a good idea, lieutenant.  They will be able to get the signature, and if they have a second device, they may be able to follow us.

Host XO_Taylor says:
ALL: As to the pilot, we will see where a pilot shall be needed when we know what the exact plan is.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CMO:  We could have the war before the time.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Yes, I want TO and OPS as well.

CTO_Hunter says:
XO: Aye sir I’ll add OPS to the assault planning group.

CMO_Turok says:
CSO: You think too much.

CMO_Turok says:
::Grumbles and resumes his leaning::

FCO_Adams says:
::mumbles under her breath:: Self: Looks like I pull bridge duty there too.
