CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: I'm still running a tachyon search, unsuccessfully, so far.  Perhaps if we get closer I could try something else.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  Of course, considering the ships are still heading to the same direction.

CTO_Krag says:

CTO_Krag says:
@<Hunter>Shania: Basically it seems that 14 Starfleet vessel have report problems.. all having Romulan repair technical on board....Did you guys have any Romulan repair your ship?

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: How far away is it?
OPS_Shania says:
<Ens Summer> XO: It's audio only. Here it is: A Mayday has been called to Sector 23154-Beta by the Federation Starship U.S.S. Pendragon, Excelsior Class NCC-42662. From Subspace radio reports, the Pendragon was under attach and being boarded by an unknown force.

OPS_Shania says:
<Ens Summer> XO: All Federation Starships in the vicinity are required to assist. The Following Starships are in the area and have radioed Starfleet that they are enroute to assist:

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: The Pendragon?

FCO_Adams says:
FCO: I read it at 60 light years sir.

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: SFC: Krusty: I trust that you have received our reports and therefore know that we have lost one of the two Warbirds which we were chasing.

CTO_Krag says:
<MCPO Hardnose>XO: Aye Aye Sir.

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
#COM: Taylor: ::Nods:: We've been following your activities of course.

CTO_Krag says:
<MCPO Hardnose>*Krag*: Sir your presence is request on the bridge, we have receive a mayday from the USS Pendragon.

OPS_Shania says:
::uploads Kert's data on a PADD so she can read it on the way to the CTO::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir, I've plotted a course to the Pendragon, but alternating between warp 9.4 and 9.3 it will take us at least 15 days unless we push the engines to maximum all the way.

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: SFC: Now, we have received a distress call from the USS Pendragon.  With our orders to observe the Warbird, I did not know what was more of a priority to SFC. Requesting an update of our orders, if any of course.

CTO_Krag says:
::drops his PADD on his decks and heads out his office::*MCPO*:On my way Master Chief, Have security teams begin training in case we need to retake the Pendragon from hostile forces

Host XO_Taylor says:
::shrugs a bit::

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
#COM: Taylor: Commander, the way I see it it will take you two weeks at best to respond to the Pendragon's call, right?

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: Krusty: Correct.

CTO_Krag says:
::enters the TL::

EO_On says:
Valerie: I am running some diagnostic of the system, but it's going to take a while and if some security protocols are broken. I need you to report to me anything unusual and alert all teams to do the same.

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
#COM: Taylor: ::Shakes head side to side:: We have some ships closer that are responding.  Your original orders are in effect.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::frowns::

CSO_MacLeod says:

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: SFC: Krusty: Understood. But now, we have lost one of the ships. What is our priority?

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
#COM: Taylor: Follow as best you can and report as necessary.

CTO_Krag says:
::Feels the lift stop::

EO_On says:
::hears that Valerie agree in joining the investigation and starts to work together::

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
#COM: Gryphon: Starfleet out.

FCO_Adams says:
::turns to the XO and waits for her orders::

OPS_Shania says:
::gets in the TL and sees the CTO:: CTO: Oh, just the person I wanted. I have some information you will find interesting. ::hands the CTO the PADD::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Cancel course change and keep following the Warbird.

CTO_Krag says:
::Takes the PADD and reads it::

CTO_Krag says:
TL: Bridge.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  I don't know...  following this vessel...  you seem to be right when you said they are distracting us from something else, perhaps something big...

CTO_Krag says:
::Reads the PADD again::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Aye sir, maintaining original course and speed.

CMO_Turok says:
::Listens to several nurses discussing the power outage and the fact that Romulan engineers helped in repairing the Gryphon.  Sits in shock for a moment then storms out of his office and confronts them, asking for clarification::

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: Where did you get this information from?

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: From a friend.

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: How reliable of a source?

CMO_Turok says:
::Calls all medical staff to Sickbay for an emergency meeting::

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: Absolutely reliable.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: So did I, that's why I wondered if the admiral would want us to try to find the cloaked vessel. But he wants us to follow the vessel as best as we can. Our chances are more favorable with the visible one...

CTO_Krag says:
::Frowns:: OPS: Those this source have a name?

CTO_Krag says:
::halts the turbolift::

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: I prefer to keep that information to myself.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE WARBIRD DROPS TO WARP 3

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: I can make it an order Lieutenant. ::waits for a name::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: As we have lost the other one... ::sighs again::  Well, the system is free, nothing else to report.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices something happens outside:: XO:  Wait..

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: Is a name really more important than the information?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: The Romulan vessel dropped to warp 3.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir, navigational sensors show the Warbird slowing. Now at warp 3. CSO: Can you confirm?

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Confirmed.

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: It is important in my evaluation of how real and how important this data is

CMO_Turok says:
::Watches his off-duty staff stagger in. ::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Confirmed, that's what I have on my screen as well, drop to warp three.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: Commander, may I speak with you?

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Warp 3 aye. ::taps the console and brings the Gryphon to warp 3::

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: Is it important? ::glares at the OPS waiting for an answer::

Host Tim says:
<Computer>EO: Diagnostic completed on life support and power distribution.  No security protocol anomalies.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: Yes.  Can you speak freely where you are?

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: My sources got the information right from a team that's investigating the matter. I guarantee that the info is absolutely reliable.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  Commander, as long as I know, the Romulan vessel is reading us, and they know we're 'escorting' them.  Couldn't we getany closer?  Perhaps this way I could get something about the cloaked ship.

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: One moment.

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: That not good enough LT.  I want to know the source of this information, and I want to know it now.

EO_On says:
::looks his console and starts to sees the report::

Host Tim says:
<Computer>EO: There is an anomalous reading in the biofilter recycle program.

CMO_Turok says:
::Begins issuing orders to the sickbay staff to go over every system in sickbay and look for sabotage or planted devices.  Has one orderly check the weapons locker and the phasers within.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::runs a extensive sweep in the area, attempting to find the reason for the reducing speed::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: And risk them cloaking as well....We are to stay at a safe distance... Perhaps you can get more data at warp 3?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: WARBIRD SWINGS ABOUT AND HEADS TOWARD GRYPHON

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: With all due respect for the safety of my source I have to refuse sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the Romulan ship changing course::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Stay at yellow alert until further notice.

CTO_Krag says:
<MCPO Hardnose>XO: Aye Aye sir.

EO_On says:
::taps a few buttons of his console in order to see what is the problem with the biofilter recycle program::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  Sir, the Romulan Warbird is now heading towards us!

FCO_Adams says:
::gasps at her sensor readings: All: We have company. The Warbird has turned and is coming at us. Intercept in 15 minutes.

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: So your telling me you are refusing to obey a direct order, on matter of ships safety from the Chief Tactical Officer?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::scans the ship, in order to check their systems status::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Do they have weapons charged?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices another blip on sensors::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Negative, weapons are not armed.

EO_On says:
::creates a new program of the biofilter recycle one::

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: Go ahead Lieutenant.  Be advised Lieutenant that Lieutenant Shania is with me, we are in a turbolift.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Sir, there's another ship coming towards us, from the small solar system. ::looks at the XO::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Then, we are to stay as we are for now.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ALERT SOUND ON SICKBAY COMPUTER THAT AIR QUALITY IS FAILING

CSO_MacLeod says:
::scans the new ship as well::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: What kind?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Romulan.  Weapons status, not charged.

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: You not gonna tell anyone else?

EO_On says:
Computer: Replace the biofilter recycle program with the one that I am creating now.

Host Tim says:
<Computer>EO: Working.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: Understood.  Commander, were you aware that Romulan agents were aboard our vessel during its repair?

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: Only the captain or XO if ordered to...

FCO_Adams says:
::picks up the second ship on her scans as well:: Self: Just what we need.

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: No I was not....but that fits.

CEO_Solkar says:
::hears a warning from the computer about air quality and begins checking the environmental systems::

CTO_Krag says:
*CEO*: I need you to check the secondary/backup systems for sabotage.  This is a priority one assignment

CEO_Solkar says:
*CTO* Already in progress....  I will inform you when I find out anything.

CMO_Turok says:
::Begins getting even angrier, doesn't notice the staff quietly slipping away to other rooms to avoid his coming wrath::

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Commander, can you ID the second ship?

CTO_Krag says:
::orders the turbolift to open on the bridge and steps on the bridge

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Get ready for a quick jump to warp 8 if we need to... I have a feeling that this can't be good...

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Sir I recommend going to red alert, we may have been sabotaged by Romulan agents.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: I can't get a signature on her yet.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: AIR CIRCULATION SLOWS DOWN

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO:  It is Romulan.  Coming at warp 5.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Yes commander, standing by for your order.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: That fits?!  We must cease this pursuit until we can determine the extent of their sabotage.  Or we must destroy them now before they can further disable us.

CEO_Solkar says:
::places the environmental systems on manual and attempts to return them to normal operation by shifting to back-ups::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: No. I can't do that; they would take it as a sign of offense and could attack us. We are to keep our cool for now.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  The ship is coming from the system, at warp 5.  The other one is still at warp 3.

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: Yes.  Several other ships were sabotaged.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: That will get the second ship to us in less than 9 minutes sir.

CMO_Turok says:
::Two orderlies checking the weapons locker in the store room notice the air entering the room all but stops.  They look at each other, puzzled.::

OPS_Shania says:
::follows CTO utterly confused about Klingons once again::

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Sir I have information that we may have been sabotaged by the Romulans, just like 14 other Starfleet vessel, perhaps even the Pendragon

CSO_MacLeod says:
::overhears the CTO's report::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: This is your chance: get as much info on the Warbirds as you can...

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Unfortunately I can not validate all the data because certain personal refused to share their source. ::glares at the LT Shania::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: On it, but nothing so far. ::scanning as a mad man::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: What information did CTO ask for?

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: Other ships?  Has Starfleet gone mad?!  Allowing Romulans on board your vessels.  AND allowing them to do engineering work?  Does the Captain know?

Host XO_Taylor says:

OPS_Shania says:
::takes her station taking a deep breath as she hears CTO's comment::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Preparing evasive maneuvers and holding for your order.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  This is the missing ship, looks like they have missed us.

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: I just informed Starfleet, and you know the Humans, think with their feelings first and brains last.

CEO_Solkar says:
::begins running checks on other systems:: EO On: Take over running the environmental systems, get Alpha team to go over them and fix whatever it was the Romulans did to them.. do what you can to maintain minimum life support

CMO_Turok says:
::Hearing Turok's anger, the two orderlies decide not to tell him of the malfunction just yet.::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: He wanted to know where I got the information.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: We're going to play a game of chicken: we keep going until they become a threat.

EO_On says:
CEO: Aye, Sir

CTO_Krag says:
::takes over tactical::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Get info on the ships now... this is probably our last chance.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: What are we going to do?  We should destroy these Warbirds we are following.  They are undoubtedly part of this conspiracy.

CEO_Solkar says:
:;checks weapons, shields and sensors to insure they will operate properly, puts Bravo team on a check of the power systems::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Chicken sir?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: AIR CIRCULATION RETURNS TO NORMAL

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders why Taylor is doing this::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles:: XO: I see....

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: I agree but our XO does not want them to take offense to use going to red alert. ::voice dripping with contempt::

CMO_Turok says:
::The sickbay staff begins checking all systems with both diagnostics and visual inspection for signs of sabotage.::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: An old earth game. Were going to do as if nothing is going on and then, when we have what we need (info on the Roms) we get out of here quick...

Host Tam`Ric says:
$COM: Federation ship: We note you are having trouble... may we assist?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  At least, let's keep our shields up.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: I strongly Urge we go to Red Alert.

EO_On says:

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: ::Growls:: Understood.  But Krag, you and I know the Romulans better than these Humans.  YOU must do what is necessary to save them from themselves.

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: Tam`Ric: Thank you, but no.  We have everything under control. Please, get back to your old course.

CMO_Turok says:
::The two orderlies approach Turok timidly, he turns and regards them::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Do you read the first ship dropped to impulse?

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Commander, the Warbird directly ahead has gone to impulse.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: I have it.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Keep going at warp, but reduce speed to warp 2. We don't need to drop out of warp... It could be seen as suspicious...

CTO_Krag says:
::Orders all security personal to alert level one and orders the deployment of phaser rifle armed officers to key area...bridge, engineering, transport rooms, sickbay, ac, etc::

CMO_Turok says:
::The orderlies inform Turok of the airflow problem.  He narrows his eyes and thinks about it.::

EO_On says:
Computer: Try to keep minimum life support rerouting some with 5% of the Warp Core

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  Commander, I suggest we drop out of warp.  They are still in Federation space.

Host Tam`Ric says:
$COM: Fed ship: Are you sure?  It would be no trouble.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Sir we only have a problem. I will be login an official protest.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::scans for the second ship status::

CTO_Krag says:
XO: In fact I would imagine the Captain would want use to go to red alert perhaps I should contact him.

OPS_Shania says:
::wonders why the XO is doing what he is doing::

CMO_Turok says:

CTO_Krag says:
::catches the rebreather and places it on::

CEO_Solkar says:
EO: Keep an eye on the O2 and Co2 levels, as long as they remain in tolerance, we should be OK.

FCO_Adams says:
::makes her way to the storage unit::

CMO_Turok says:
::Grabs an oxygen cylinder and carefully adjusts the valve to allow a moderate release.  Uses it as an emergency breather as he moves throughout sickbay:::

CTO_Krag says:
<Hardnose>::places his mask on and grabs another and toss it to the XO::

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Follow them again. Not too close.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::picks up 2 masks, hands one to Cassie::  FCO: Here, put this on.

EO_On says:
CEO: I will, sir. ::balance some O2 and Co2 levels

Host XO_Taylor says:
Hardnose: Thanks. ::puts it on::

CEO_Solkar says:
*XO* I am working on environmental control now...  atmosphere is within tolerance, with a high concentration of N2.. no toxic gases or foreign compounds present.

CTO_Krag says:
<Hardnose>::grabs another mask and toss it to ops::

FCO_Adams says:
::grabs the mask and puts it on and smiles at Mackie::

EO_On says:
::taps his console really quick::

Host XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* Find them now!

CTO_Krag says:
<Bridge Guard>::places mask on::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles at Cassie:: FCO: Are you ok?

CTO_Krag says:
<Sickbay guards>::grabs mask:::

CMO_Turok says:
Staff: You three with breathers, take everyone into the operating theatre.  You two, take these oxygen tanks as well.

OPS_Shania says:
::puts on the mask::

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Where did the 2nd Warbird come from again?

FCO_Adams says:
::leans on Mackie's arm for a moment:: CSO: I'll be fine.

CTO_Krag says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Is there enough of a threat to go to red alert now sir?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::takes his station::

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Sir second Warbird has been following use since I requested we go to red alert.

CMO_Turok says:
::Takes a gulp of oxygen and lifts the nurse with his tricorder off the floor and slings her over his shoulder.  He carries her into the small operating room::

CEO_Solkar says:
*XO* The ship is currently in no danger, we are checking systems as quickly as possible.

FCO_Adams says:
::stumbles back to her station and checks the sensors::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  From the small solar system.  Which is odd, since I got no readings from there, even with a tachyon sweep.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: I do not want to power up weapons, understood??

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Aye Aye sir, Sitting duck mode sir.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Something isn't right about this.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir, my sensors are clear, no ships in the sector.

CTO_Krag says:
::logs a second protest in the ships computer...::

Host XO_Taylor says:
OPS: Send details to SFC and open a channel with them – again. ::sighs::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  I have a reading, both ships resumed course at warp 8.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Confirmed sir.

CTO_Krag says:
::removes the breathing mask but keeps it nearby just incase::

CMO_Turok says:
::Sees everyone is in the operating room, though it is quite crowded.  Erects a level 2 force field to isolate the room and then opens the valves on several cylinders.::

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Aye sir. ::opens a secured channel again:: Channel is open.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: I have had enough experience with command situations to know what is best for the ship and its mission.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Go to warp 8.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: And if you’re wrong sir we may all die a foolish death.

CTO_Krag says:
::debates having the CMO give the XO a check to see if he is sane::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Warp 8 sir.

CMO_Turok says:
Staff: This will pressurize this area with oxygen, it should help those affected recover.  I will drop the force field momentarily to allow any nitrogen here to be vented out, then raise it again.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: What would having weapons charged change!?

CMO_Turok says:
*OPS*: Status of our Environmental controls?

FCO_Adams says:
::follows the Warbirds’ ion trail::

EO_On says:
Computer: Vent out the nitrogen still in the ship.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Give us a fighting change in case we are attacked by two vessels that over power us by about eight fold.

Host Tim says:
<Computer>EO: Venting nitrogen.

FCO_Adams says:
::removes her mask and checks the air:: Self: Seems fine now.

OPS_Shania says:
*CMO* Almost back to normal.

CMO_Turok says:
::Drops the force field and feels the air rush outward into Sickbay, then raises it again.::

EO_On says:
::removes his mask and see get back to normal::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: EO'S ACTIONS RETURN LIFE SUPPORT TO NORMAL

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: The Warbirds are far away. If they change course and charge weapons, then I will consider your request. Now, please, get back to work.

CMO_Turok says:
*OPS*: Understood.  ::Scans the air outside the field with his tricorder and sees the Nitrogen levels have dropped to tolerable limits.  Drops the force field and looks at his staff.::

Host XO_Taylor says:
::Waits for an admiral to come on the channel::

OPS_Shania says:
::takes off her mask but keeps in within reach::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  If you pay attention, it is normal.  They knew they were being followed and stopped to check.  But, even though, I have nothing from tachyon search.  It's like the ship has never been cloaked. ::frowns::

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
$COM: Gryphon: What now Commander?

FCO_Adams says:
::maintains a 3 light year buffer from the Romulans::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::wonders if sensors are working fine::

CTO_Krag says:
<MCPO Hardnose>CSO: Sounds like an old Russian submariner trick...they used to call it a crazy Ivan.

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: SFC: Krusty: Sir, I think that what the Warbirds were hiding is no longer on their vessels. The second Warbird reappeared after making a pit stop on a small system. Request a change of orders to go to the planet.

Host Tim says:
<Computer>EO: Diagnostic on sensors 87% completed... anomalous program found.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: Commander, just a note.  The two men you sent to Sickbay, they are brave warriors.  They are to be commended.

Host XO_Taylor says:
Thinks: Why do I always have trouble with my CTOs?

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Commander, would you know if LRS and SRS are working properly?

EO_On says:
::hears the computer, but waits until it finish it::

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
$COM: Taylor: What are those Warbirds doing now?

CSO_MacLeod says:
Hardnose:  I know this trick.  They stop and turn, in order to see if they are being followed, yes.

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: SFC: Krusty: They have resumed course. Both uncloaked now.

CTO_Krag says:
<MCPO Hardnose>::is surprised an officer knows something like that:: CSO: Yes sir.

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: Noted.

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
$COM: Gryphon: Taylor: You can confirm the Romulans can cloak?

EO_On says:
*CSO*: I should report to you that it is an anomaly with the program here. I am waiting ‘till it's finished.

CEO_Solkar says:
*CSO* we have indications of anomalies in sensor programming, which may be impacting the system.. forwarding diagnostic results to you now.. diagnostic is still in progress.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Sir, I have the Romulan ships back on their original course to the far side of the sector.

Host XO_Taylor says:
FCO: Understood.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Perhaps we should dispatch a shuttle to check the planet while the ship follows the Romulans

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CEO/EO* Anomalies?  In sensor program?  How long until it finishes?

CMO_Turok says:
::Watches his crew bring Sickbay slowly back to normal.  Amazed at the mess that can be made in so short a time.::

CEO_Solkar says:
*CSO* We are 87% complete, should be complete in less than 3 minutes.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  Looks like sensors have problems...

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Not a bad idea, but it would be quite a dangerous mission, would you be ready to go?

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Understood.  Please report when it's done and the results.  MacLeod out.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Today is a good day to die.

CEO_Solkar says:
*CSO* Very well.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Can you confirm that they can cloak?

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
$COM: Gryphon: That solar system isn't worth anything to anyone.  You really think it is worth losing those Warbirds?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Negative.  I can't say for sure.

EO_On says:
::stands quite to hear is there anything that CEO Solkar wants::

FCO_Adams says:
::overhears the plan between the XO and CTO and shudders at the thought::

CEO_Solkar says:
:;after a few moments the results of the diagnostic are complete:: EO: Continue checking systems, give priority to tactical and power systems

EO_On says:
CEO: I will do that right now.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Very well, I want you to go along with EO and a few security personnel.

CMO_Turok says:
::Orders some of his staff to continue checking the Sickbay systems and one nurse to constantly monitor atmosphere with a tricorder.::

EO_On says:
::taps his console and check is there anything on the TAC system and Power, too

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Aye Sir, perhaps a medical person would be in order as well incase we find anyone injured?

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
$COM: Gryphon: Taylor: You may divert to investigate if you deem it more important than tracking those Warbirds.

Host XO_Taylor says:
COM: SFC: Krusty: We cannot confirm it, but it is a strong possibility. I am dispatching a shuttle to investigate the system.

CEO_Solkar says:
*CSO* We have two anomalies in the sensor software, I am clearing the software now and doing a reboot of the system from the protected archives....  sensors will go down for 8.2 seconds while the purge and reload is in progress.

CTO_Krag says:
OPS: Ready one of the type 9 shuttles.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: You may ask CMO if he wants to join you. Give me his answer afterwards through the comm.

CTO_Krag says:
*EO* Meet me in the shuttlebay for an away team mission.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host SFC_Adm_Krusty says:
$Com: Gryphon: Advise of your decision.  Starfleet out.

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Any chance to get those anomalies to check on them, and find their sources?

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: If you can convince him, he is yours to take away.

EO_On says:
*CTO*: Okay, sir.

OPS_Shania says:
CTO: Aye sir.

CTO_Krag says:
::heads for the TL::*CMO*:I need your services for a dangerous mission....are you up for it? ::enters the TL::

EO_On says:
*CEO*: Permission to go to shuttlebay?

CEO_Solkar says:
*CSO* I am storing the corrupted software in a fire walled location for later study.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: If the alternative is sitting here, waiting to die with our shields down, then yes!

CTO_Krag says:
::turns to the XO as the tl doors close:: XO: He is Klingon he will want to come.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks around the bridge as people start to depart::

CEO_Solkar says:
*EO* Granted.. please have the Alpha team leader continue your task of checking the other systems.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/FCO:  Confirmed, sensors had 2 anomalies in its software.

CTO_Krag says:
*CMO*: I thought you feel that way meet me in the shuttle bay.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CTO: My thought’s exactly. ::smiles::

CTO_Krag says:
::MCPO Hardnose mans Tactical::

EO_On says:
*CEO* Aye, sir.

CMO_Turok says:
*CTO*: Understood!  ::Grins, and scares his staff::

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: My systems are clear now sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/FCO:  Commander Solkar have isolated the programs for further analysis and is going to reboot the system.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Aye sir, standing by.

EO_On says:
*Leader of Alpha Team*: Please take care of TAC and power systems.

Host XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Understood.

EO_On says:
::leaves ME to Shuttlebay::

CTO_Krag says:
::Arrives in the shuttlebay and enters the type 9 shuttle::

Host Tim says:
<<<Pause mission>>>
