CTO_Krag says:
::on the bridge::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Did you hear the CO's order.... to check if there are other life forms than the Romulans?

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Any leads?

::In sickbay, pacing::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Yes...  let's see what we can do.

CIV_Adrel says:
::nods:: CSO: I will scan for life forms.

CIV_Adrel says:
::scans::

CMO_Turok says:
*CO* Captain, are there any further...tests...scheduled for today?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  So far, we have nothing.  I'll bring every Romulan data we have on our database to check it.  Commander Adrel is assisting me. ::brings it::

Host CO_OMallory says:
*CMO* Until we are back to full power, tests are on hold.

CTO_Krag says:
::reviews his data::

OPS_Shania says:
::checks system status::

FCO_Adams says:
::tries to track the Romulan ship:: CSO: Commander, do you have a fix on the Romulan ship?

CMO_Turok says:
*CO* Please see fit to inform myself and my staff if there will be any further interruptions to our work.

TO_Sachs says:
::Working on a console near the CTO::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: No other life on that ship?

Host CO_OMallory says:
*CMO* Understood.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at FCO::  FCO:  Negative.  Still searching...

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Sir it seems that the so called "tachyon beam" did not come from any Romulan vessel.

FCO_Adams says:
::is puzzled why her navigational sensors detect nothing::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: I see.  Why was it assumed before then?

XO_Taylor says:
::On the shuttle, getting into range of the Gryphon::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Well, I get nothing about life forms. The test buoys come up on scans though.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  No sir, I don't even have a lock.  I'm wondering if this is the test we're dealing with.  I couldn't tell, because I'm not trusting on short range sensors readings, at least, until Commander Solkar tells me they are fine.

Host CO_OMallory says:
*CEO* How goes our power restoration?

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Unsure sir, Best guess would be over active imaginations of certain officers. ::looks over towards the science station::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Exactly the readings I have.  ::sighs::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Must be all part of the test.

XO_Taylor says:
@COM: USS Gryphon: USS Gryphon, this is LCDR Michael Taylor in the shuttle USS Meer, Requesting permission to dock.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CIV:  Let's assume the Romulan readings are coming from the buoys, and it's a part of the test.

::Docks without problems::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, we're about 5 light years from the far side of the area.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: What now? Let me tell you that I am not a fan of those kinds of testing.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, in fact, we have been hit with a polarized beam.

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Power restoration progress?

CMO_Turok says:
::Gets the sickbay staff to store the replicated anti-radiation serum replicated for the "test", and all stow away their suits.::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Did the beam come from one of the buoys then?

CTO_Krag says:
CO: I know of a sure fire method to tell that the signals came from the buoys.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Systems are coming back online one by one.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Me too. ::raises an eyebrow::

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/CSO: I think it did, sir. It is the only logical option right now

Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: Proceed.  I would like to know.

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Krag says:

XO_Taylor says:
::Gets into the TL:: TL: Main Bridge.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Yes sir.  I have a confirmation. ::looks at him::

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: You should be able to get your LRS to scan past the test area now, we're only 5 light years from the edge.

TO_Sachs says:
::Watches the CTO work, seeing if he hits them::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks the faint tail on his console:: CIV:  Aye.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Understood.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO/CO: I detect a faint ion trail from outside the test area....

CTO_Krag says:
::continues to target and fire on the buoys::

OPS_Shania says:
::closes SB doors::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO/CIV: Keep scanning for a Romulan ship and what I asked earlier.  Still have a suspicion.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: Aye, Capt.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CIV:  I'm picking it up as well. ::taps::

CTO_Krag says:
::Destroys the first two buoys and focuses on the remaining ones::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::tries to identify the ship::

CO: Two buoys destroyed.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO/CO: That ion trail from outside the test area leads into the far side of the test area.

CO/CIV:  Sir, the trails came from a singularity-drive warp core.

FCO_Adams says:
::begins evasive maneuvers as the buoys simulate an attack::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Evasive maneuvers engaged.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CIV:  Which means...  a Romulan track.

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Two more buoys destroyed...only 11 more to go.

CTO_Krag says:
::targets the next two and fires::

CIV_Adrel says:
::sighs as she hears what the CSO just said::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: How far from our present position?

XO_Taylor says:
::Says to himself: "Well, it sure doesn't seem as if they need me" and smiles::

CSO_MacLeod says:

CMO_Turok says:
::Feels the ship move under his feet as evasive maneuvers are begun.  The inertial dampers compensate.  Keys in his bridge screen feed and watches on the monitor.::

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Captain, how may I help you?

CTO_Krag says:
TO: Take the aft weapons and work on destroying the buoys behind us.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Yep, yep! And I will scan too as usual. ::smiles back::

CTO_Krag says:
::destroys two more switching to the next two:: CO: Six Destroyed...9 more to go.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, I have two buoys on approach from just outside the test area.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Welcome back.  Keep track of the testing on the buoys.

FCO_Adams says:
::turns to look at him::

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Sure...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  Distance:  5 light years.  It's a recent trail, captain.  Within the hour.

CTO_Krag says:
::targets and blows up two more leaving seven::

FCO_Adams says:
::glances over at Krag:: CTO: I have two buoys on approach.

FCO: With the captain permission set a course to intercept them.

CTO_Krag says:
::Switches target lock on the new buoys::

FCO_Adams says:
CTO: Aye sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  I can have some additional information as soon we have the ship pointing towards 3-1-2 mark 12.  Then I'll have LRS scanning.

Host CO_OMallory says:
::rubs chin::  CSO: Do we know any history of where this Romulan ship has been in the last few weeks on record?

CTO_Krag says:
::selects two torpedoes for each buoy and fires::

Host Tim says:

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Tell me if you need anything special. I will monitor the scans in the mean time.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: The two new targets are taking evasive action. Shall I plot an intercept course?

XO_Taylor says:
::Patches into all of the Gryphon's systems, putting a particular emphasis on SCI data to track the buoys::

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: What is the story about those buoys?

CTO_Krag says:
::sets up a full spread of five torpedoes per buoy set on proximity explosion and fires again::

FCO_Adams says:
::waits for the Captain to reply::

XO_Taylor says:
::Reads disruptor energy sequences:: Self: These are no federation buoys...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  Can't tell, unless this is that ship which was allowed to pass though Federation Space.  Even though I'd have to check it with SF.

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Proceed Adams.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Taylor says:
CO: We've got an EPS conduit break on deck 12!

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Understood. ::still taps on his console::

CMO_Turok says:
::Feels the ship rock by a hit.  Begins to suspect that the testing is over for the day.::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Start checking, but keep it on a low profile.

FCO_Adams says:
::plots an intercept course to the buoys:: CO: Course laid in sir.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Shields are down to 73%.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::realizes the XO is back on the bridge:: XO:  Commander! ::smiles::  Welcome back.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye aye, sir.

CTO_Krag says:
::locks all forward weapons on the first buoy and opens fire::

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Inform engineering to get a team there.

CMO_Turok says:
::Receives a casualty call from the battle bridge.  One of his teams responds::

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Thanks... commander. ::smiles back and gets a good feeling of seeing all of his old friends::

CIV_Adrel says:
::hears the CSO and looks at the XO::

XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* This is Taylor, get and engineering team to deck 12 now.

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Hostile buoys are destroyed.

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks over at Krag and sigh, and tries to think of a better way to get though the buoys::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Welcome back indeed! Welcome to buoy madness! ::smiles::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  Here is what we've got so far.  One buoy sent a polarized beam towards us, and we got every systems offline.  Anyway, SRS were showing malfunction, so I couldn't trust on them.  But I rather believe the buoy did it...  even having a Romulan trail right ahead to follow... ::smiles::

XO_Taylor says:
CIV: Well that's about as much as I have gathered so far. ::smiles::

CIV_Adrel says:
::laughs and goes back to her scanning::

FCO_Adams says:
::engages the new course::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: Good job.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: How did our weapons do?

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: So those are Romulan buoys? What are they doing in Federation space?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks with SF about the Romulan ship allowed to pass through the area, checks on its course::

CTO_Krag says:
::checks on the status of the remain buoy and see only two left::

CTO_Krag says:
CO: We have two buoys left....As for weapons performance if we face a fleet of hostile buoys we do fine.

XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* Do you read me??

CTO_Krag says:
::fires on the last two buoys::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: No...  those are Federation buoys...  don't forget we're testing the ship. ::smiles::

OPS_Shania says:
::makes sure shields are stable::

Host CO_OMallory says:
::smiles::  CTO: Good to know....want to be ready for any attack of buoys.

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: OK, so this is just a test. ::sighs:: I thought this was for real...

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: A test... an annoying one for sure. ::smiles::

CMO_Turok says:
::Receives a status report from his trauma team at the battle bridge.::

TO_Sachs says:
::Tries to help the CTO with the last 2::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV:  Annoying is the word. ::sighs and leans on his chair::

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Ohh yes sir.  I am sure the Cardassians will send wave after wave of killer buoys at us. ::wonders about humans again::

CMO_Turok says:
*CO* Captain, we have four injured on the battle bridge.  One moderately.  I would like to beam him to sickbay.

Host CO_OMallory says:
*CMO* Make it so...

CMO_Turok says:
::orders the team to escort the three minor injured to sickbay::

CMO_Turok says:
*TR1* Transporter room, site to site transport of Ensign Devlin from the Battle bridge to sickbay.

CTO_Krag says:
::secures the weapons systems and places them ins standby::

XO_Taylor says:
<Valerie Kint>XO: Hey Mike! Welcome back. ::smiles:: I'm on my way with my team to take care of your trouble. I'll be on my way back to ME afterwards, don't worry, everything is under control.

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Engineering has everything under control.

CMO_Turok says:
<TR1> *CMO*: Understood, initiating transport.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Good to hear.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, there has been many Romulan ships passing though the area in last 3 months.  I can't say if that's an allowed one.

CMO_Turok says:
::Watches the injured crewman appear on the floor of sickbay, he is grimacing in pain and holding his right knee::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: See if any have been near SB 78.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye. ::notices something blips on screen::

CIV_Adrel says:
::moves in her chair to wake up a bit and checks scans again::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CIV:  I'm picking up an ion trail...  distance: 5 light years.

FCO_Adams says:
::watches the navigational sensors closely::

CMO_Turok says:
::Moves to the man and begins taking tricorder readings as his staff gently move him to a bed.::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Same trail as before?

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Orders?

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Still any way to see if any one else other than Romulans on board?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, as soon we're finished with testing, I'd need to point the ship towards 3-1-2 mark 12.

XO_Taylor says:
TO: Come here for a second.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  I just have the trail sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: Complete report on weapons performance and if any "tweaking" is needed.

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks up and hears the XO:: XO: Sir? ::Begins to walk over::

CMO_Turok says:
::sees the walking injured and his team enter sickbay and the staff begins their treatment::

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: If we get follow the ion trail after we are done, we might find the ship and answers to your questions, captain.

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Pont the ship towards 3-1-2 mark 12 for the CSO.

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Taylor says:
TO: I need your help, I have too many things to watch over and not enough time to do it right.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks at the Captain and then the CSO:: CO: Aye sir, turning to course 312 mark 12.

FCO_Adams says:
::makes the change to their course::

CTO_Krag says:
::locks weapons on the ship at 312 mark 12

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Plot course and begin following...be discreet about it.

TO_Sachs says:
::Stand beside the XO:: XO: well then, what would you like me to do ::Smiles at the XO::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye sir, I'm on it.

CMO_Turok says:
::Sees the man took a large piece of shrapnel from the conduit in the knee.  Tells the staff to prep him for surgery.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Let's have LRS working for a bit, huh? ::smiles::  Bringing Passive Neutrino Imaging Scanner online. ::does so::

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Get us closer to that trail, but not too fast.

CMO_Turok says:
*CO* Sir, I have a casualty report.

Host CO_OMallory says:
*CMO* Go ahead.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Great! That will bring us some change. ::laughs:: I can't wait to see what is at the end of the yellow brick road!

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Understood Captain.

XO_Taylor says:
TO: Let's see, I'm scanning to find cloaking signs, but I've never been very good at science, can you try to find better ways to scan for it... Right now, we need to take out the Romulan threat possibility. Can you try to find other ways then with tachyon scans?

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: We are to go after that trail.  I want to know something as soon as you can

FCO_Adams says:
:;moves the Gryphon to the new course and moves in slowly::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: And I have something sir. ::analyzes the information::

XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Anything to report?

CMO_Turok says:
*CO* Three with minor plasma burns, nothing serious.  Ensign Devlin, however, requires surgery to repair his right knee.  I will be starting on him shortly.

CIV_Adrel says:
::rubs her eyes:: CSO: Better get our eyes at full activity to make sure we see everything!

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Do you have the same readings, right? ::looks at her::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Checking...mmm... I have something.... yes...

Host CO_OMallory says:
*CMO* Good to hear nothing serious.  Let me know how the surgery comes out.

CMO_Turok says:
*CO* Aye sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: What do you have?

TO_Sachs says:
::Stands there for a second to think::

FCO_Adams says:
::follows the faint ion trail::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Not much. Engineering is repairing the damage. Power is almost completely back up.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CIV:  A cloaked ship passed within the last hour.

CMO_Turok says:
::Moves into the surgery unit and begins prepping for the procedure.::

CTO_Krag says:
::focuses the targets sensor on the ion trail scanning for any possible targets::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO/CO: Confirmed.

XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Do you have any comm activity? Even small ones...?

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Feed coordinates to Adams.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sends the coordinates to the FCO:: CO: Done.

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Continue on those coordinates from MacLeod

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: I have them Commander. ::smiles over Mackie::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: No, nothing.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye sir, continuing to move in.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles back to FCO::

XO_Taylor says:
TO: Look, I'll give your console access to sensors, try to look at possible theories and get back to be. Report in 5 minutes.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/CSO: It seems to be going toward the Romulan Empire.... ::checks scans::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO/CIV: Interesting...

XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Is it a normal nothing or an odd "this is too silent"?

TO_Sachs says:
XO: alright, give it my best...::Looks over the console::

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Give full power to sensors.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: A normal nothing,

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: I need answers soon.  You understand...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CIV: Of course it would take weeks to get there, even at maximum warp.

XO_Taylor says:
::on TO's console, a window opens with sensor data on it::

CIV_Adrel says:

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Understood. ::does as ordered::

CSO_MacLeod says:

XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Let me know when there is any comm.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: There's an incoming comm.

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: On screen.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Audio only.

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: On speakers.

XO_Taylor says:
::Tries to scan the comm to make sure that it is authentic::

OPS_Shania says:

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: We had a power loss and suspected the buoys.  We needed to test our weapons...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::listens the Admiral's voice, does not seem friendly::

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: pesky little things. :;smiles a bit::

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: O'Mallory: The weapons' test certainly didn't include destroying the buoys Captain; you'd best have a better reason than that.

TO_Sachs says:
::Listens in the conversation::

CTO_Krag says:
::message captain panel....Tell him the buoys fired on us::

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: With the suspect of power loss from them...seemed logical to destroy the source.  ::hopes he buys that explanation::

CIV_Adrel says:
::whispers:: CSO: Talk about a friendly way to greet us

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: O'Mallory: Power loss?  The Starbase engineers didn't indicate any problem with your power.  The buoys caused the loss? Wait one.

CTO_Krag says:
::would glare at the admiral if he was not such a cheapskate and send an audio only message::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::whispers back:: CIV: Tell me about it. ::raises both eyebrows::

FCO_Adams says:
::glances at Mackie quickly::

XO_Taylor says:
Thinks: Why does the captain want to make the admiral buy a bogus answer instead of just saying the truth?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the FCO looking at him, looks back and winks, smiling and muttering "I love you"::

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: There was no test that would have caused a power loss.

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: We did suffer a ship wide loss from a tachyon pulse we suspect.

Host CO_OMallory says:
::whispers:: CSO: Anything on the Romulan ship?

FCO_Adams says:
::can feel her cheeks flush and turns back to her panel::

XO_Taylor says:
::whispers:: CO: Telling him about the disrupter fire might not be a bad idea either...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::whispers back:: CO: No, sir... just the trail.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, if I may, would the Admiral know if the buoys have in their programming a Romulan polarized beam?

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: Did any of the buoys program a Romulan polarized beam?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sees the ion trail is becoming slightly stronger::

CIV_Adrel says:
::lends an ear to hear what the Adm will answer to that::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  The trail is becoming stronger.  We'll be able to follow it without problem.

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: No... was that the case of the power loss?

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: We are gaining on those ships I see. ::smiles::

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: We suspect that sir...

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: You detect any Romulan ships nearby?

XO_Taylor says:
TO: So, found anything interesting?

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Secure channel.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, the trail is becoming stronger.

TO_Sachs says:
::Frown some:: XO: no sir....not yet.

FCO_Adams says:

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Continue following trail.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Lieutenant, do you have the ion trail on NAV, right?

FCO_Adams says:
CO: I have it sir.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: We are following a ship at 3-1-2 mark 12.  I have a hunch.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Yes Commander, it's like following a trail of breadcrumbs.

XO_Taylor says:
::Sees blurry for a second and then all comes back to normal::

CSO_MacLeod says:

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: Let me check something... be right back.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Seems so indeed.

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: Aye sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Good.  Are you using HECP detector?

XO_Taylor says:
TO: Well, keep up the work... and look around the ion trail that we are purchasing, your best bet is there...

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Of course sir, it's on full.

CTO_Krag says:
::checks his target sensors again::

CIV: I see...  ::smiles::

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/XO: We are getting two ships , 15 light years ahead on LRS.

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#<secured channel>COM: Gryphon: Sending you new orders... follow and observe... repeat observe those ships.

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: Understood sir.

XO_Taylor says:
::Looks at FCO and frowns, there's something about her that is not right, he can feel it. Maybe a hidden secret, or maybe something else, but this isn't the Cassandra Adams he came to know previously. Something was off::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CIV: Track and follow.  Observe for now.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::attempts to ID the ships::

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: Aye.

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Sir should we stand down to yellow alert?

TO_Sachs says:
Self: what else is there...the only way would be with tachyons...but why wouldn’t it work..

Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: No...stay at yellow alert.  I know we are to observe, but I want to be ready to anything

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: Send a complete report on what happened in the test area... we'll be sending a ship to investigate as well.

XO_Taylor says:
CO: ENG reports all systems are OK.

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: Quirt: Aye sir.  What ship will be helping out so we know who to look for?

XO_Taylor says:
::Can't take his mind off of Cassie, but then tries to focus on something else::

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Send report on testing on a secure channel.

FCO_Adams says:
::gets the strangest feeling that the XO is watching her but ignores it::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I presume those ships are Romulan.  Can't say, we're too far.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Will do sir

CMO_Turok says:
::Continues to work on Ensign Devlin::

Host Adm_Quirt says:
#COM: Gryphon: You misunderstood... the ship will investigate the test area.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, maintaining warp 6 and following the ion trail.

CTO_Krag says:
::changes the ships alert status from red to yellows...shortly there after the red flashing lights changes to yellow flashing light::

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Are we closing in on them?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: The ships are heading towards Romulan space.  Perhaps we should go faster.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Yes sir, but maintaining a discreet distance.

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Increase to warp 7.  Close the gap, but nice and easy.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye sir, warp 7.

FCO_Adams says:
::taps the panel::

TO_Sachs says:
XO: Sir....question, could it have been we weren’t directing the tach beam in the proper direction...?
