ALL: I have an open door policy. I will consider all relevant suggestions and constructive criticism that crosses my desk. Do not fear me. We are here to work together, and I expect each and everyone of your to work as a team. I also expect you to relay this to all of your officers as well.
Host FC_Blythe says:
TO: No... she knows about it. And I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate her meeting being disturbed over this... ::grins mischievously::
Civ_Ian says:
Tesla: this is the tactical station... this is where weapons and shields are controlled.. NO, don't touch that

CTO_Roth says:
::exits the lounge:: *TO*: Report to the Armory ASAP
CE_Susman says:
:: stands up and goes over Morgan to offer his hand :: XO: Congratulations, Commander. I'm at your disposal :: smiles ::
Civ_Ian says:
Tesla: This is helm or flight control...  this person is steering the ship.. Well, actually, the computer steers the ship and the FCO sort of watches over it..
XO_Morgan says:
::whispers to CO::  CO:  Thank you for saving me from piloting the ship through a nova.
Host FC_Blythe says:
TO: I'd love to... but I believe I'm not there for a reason, so I'll just stay here ::grins::
CTO_Roth says:
::makes his way to the ships armory::
COspencer says:
::winks at Morgan:: XO: Anytime

TO_Novack says:
FC: your loss
XO_Morgan says:
::shakes CE's hand::  Thank you.  I'm sure I will take you up on that offer, more than you would probably like. ::smiles::
CSOlecara says:
CO: Well, I understand that you wanted us to leave our personal ships at the SB, but I just wanted to mention that the Ki'Paq was quite useful aboard the Scorpius, even saving the command crew from destruction more than once
Host FC_Blythe says:
::turns to smile at Tesla:: CIV: He's cute... but is he cleared to be on the bridge?

YEOJensen says:
::spots a fleck of dust on his uniform tunic from when he was cleaning the couch ... wonders if he should go change::
CMO_Loren says:
CO: Certainly.
CSOlecara says:
CIV: Including the Counselor of course
Civ_Ian says:
Tesla: this is where the XO, when we get one, will sit.. which seems like a bad idea to me since it is right next to the CO and they could both be killed at the same time...  but that's SF for you
TO_Novack says:
::walks to the TL and enters TL:: TL: take me to armory
XO_Morgan says:
::looks over at the Civilian and the...cat thing with him::

CIV:  You must be the Alien and Technical specialist I've been hearing about, and this is...?  ::gestures to the furry creature::
COspencer says:
CMO: I will get to the point.. It has been hectic and I did not want to make an announcement until consulting with you on it
CMO_Loren says:
CO: Your Yeoman pointed out to me the need to grow whatever "coffee " is made of.  I have not had time to do that, yet.
TO_Novack says:
::I walk to the front of CTO::
CTO_Roth says:
TO:Take a seat
CSOlecara says:
::Continues to recalibrate the sensor array::
TO_Novack says:
CTO: yes, sir
COspencer says:
::smiles::  CMO : my yeoman is over worked.. I can drink Coffee out of the replicator like everyone else.. but if you do, let me know
TO_Novack says:
:;takes a seat in front of CTO::
CE_Susman says:
:: finds a transmission.. something unusual..... tries to locate it ::
CMO_Loren says:
CO: I will let you know.
CTO_Roth says:
::Looks out at his department::
TO_Novack says:
CTO: what is the purpose of this meeting, sir?

CSO: Aaahh, I'm sorry CSO, did you say something? I was engrossed in explaining to my companion the layout of the bridge...  my apologies
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: First of all tactical Officer are to carry at least a type one phaser at all times
CTO_Roth says:
::glares at the TO::
YEOJensen says:
::stands at the TL between the Ready Room and the front of the deck out of the way::
COspencer says:
::gets to the point:: CMO: I want to make you our 2nd Loren. But I am worried that with all you have to do down here you will turn me down.
TO_Novack says:
::nods at CTO, and takes mental notes in his mind::
CE_Susman says:
:: finds it isn't on subspace. A radio transmission. Can't get a better reading ::
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: Secondly when on duty during on alert situation you shall carry a type II phaser... preferably in addition to your type one
COspencer says:
CMO: I need you.. next to Jeff Morgan. I can think of nobody capable of what we may need
CSOlecara says:
CIV: Oh, I just commented that that third chair there is usually for the use of the 2nd officer, or any guests.. not just the counselor
CMO_Loren says:
CO: Doctors Acervan and Collins have proved quite capable in my absence.
TO_Novack says:
::blinks at CTO, but nods:: CTO: a type II phaser, sir?
CMO_Loren says:
CO: I am honored by your statement.
CTO_Roth says:
TO: Yes a type II phaser.  You do know what that is?
TO_Novack says:
CTO: I would rather carry phaser rifles in alert situations, sir
Civ_Ian says:
CSO: Oh, thank you for clearing that up...  been a while since I was on a ship
CE_Susman says:
XO: Sir, I'm receiving a radio transmission. Not too far from here. Long Range sensors say that it isn't coming from any ship or actual system. 
COspencer says:
CMO:  So it is settled then? ::thrilled but surprised by his fast answer:: CMO Did you know I was going to ask you? ::thinks Vulcans.. they know to much::
TO_Novack says:
CTO: more firepower and stopping power better than type II phasers, sir
XO_Morgan says:
::waits for CIV to finish explaining why ships need a Tactical officer then asks again::  CIV:  You are the Alien specialist yes?  And this is...?
CMO_Loren says:
CO: I am always glad to be of assistance.
CTO_Roth says:
TO: how can a type II phaser be better then a type II phaser?
CSOlecara says:
CIV: I understand, I was a civilian myself just a few months ago
YEOJensen says:
::over hears the mention of a radio signal and perks up ... this is the part he likes.  Watching the bridge crew work out a problem::
Civ_Ian says:
XO: I am an alien cultures/technology specialist, yes.. and this is my companion, Tesla
COspencer says:
::stands:: CMO Well then I will leave you. Get with me later and we can go over your duties
CMO_Loren says:
CO: The inoculations went well.
XO_Morgan says:
CIV:: Companion?  ::intrigued::
CMO_Loren says:
CO: Fine.
COspencer says:
::looks back:: CMO: I knew they would Loren... I can always count on you
COspencer says:
::leaves the room heading to the bridge::
XO_Morgan says:
CE:  Can you pinpoint source?
Civ_Ian says:
XO: Yes... he assists me in a number of ways... mostly by teaching me patience
COspencer says:
::is glad Loren said yes, another weight off of her pips.. enters TL:: TL Bridge
TO_Novack says:
CTO: whatever you say, sir ::rolls his eyes, but nods at CTO::
CE_Susman says:
CO: I'm trying, sir. It shouldn't be so far
Host FC_Blythe says:
::listening intently at the exchange between the CE and XO::
CTO_Roth says:
TO: Let me finish please
TO_Novack says:
CTO: yes sir
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: As I was saying during off duty times Type I phasers,
XO_Morgan says:
::grins at CIV::  CIV:  I look forward to make both of your acquaintance.  ::turns attention to CEO::
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: During duties hours a Type II Phaser
COspencer says:
::steps out onto the bridge going over to her chair standing:: XO: Full report Please
CE_Susman says:
XO: Location, bearing 124 mark 283
YEOJensen says:
::sees the Captain step out of the TL:: ALL: Captain on the bridge!!!
Host FC_Blythe says:
::stands at attention as the Captain enters the bridge::
Civ_Ian says:
XO: Likewise... I will leave you to your duties ::smiles::
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: During Red Alert security Patrols will be armed with Type III Phasers
COspencer says:
::jumps a tad almost smiles at Jensen but checks herself::
Civ_Ian says:
::heads for TL::
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: Any questions?
XO_Morgan says:
CO: Sir, we are receiving radio transmission, still working on pinpoint location, all systems are normal.
TO_Novack says:
::taking mental notes in his mind and starts to thinking of better tactical ways to improve the performance of USS Gryphon's tactical weapons::
COspencer says:
XO: What kind of transmissions?
TO_Novack says:
CTO: no sir
CMO_Loren says:
Chief Ford: As a former Marine major, look at these reports of the drills and tell me if I am missing anything.  The dept did well?
Host FC_Blythe says:
::just in case, prepares a course bearing 124 mark 283::
XO_Morgan says:
CO:  Uncertain, we are still trying to ascertain.  ::looks to CE::
CE_Susman says:
XO: I suggest to stop the ship or we'll be away
CSOlecara says:
XO: Sir, if I may say so, it seems odd that normal radio would be used for interstellar communication.. the federation standard is subspace radio
COspencer says:
XO: So in other words static? ::smiles::
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: Next agenda.  During alert Situations I want two men on the bridge, in addition to the two TAC officers
XO_Morgan says:
CO:  Possibly sir, suggest we investigate, though.  Good practice to the crew to work out some bugs in the systems.
TO_Novack says:
CTO: actually I would like to have four men on the bridge, one in each corner, sir
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: Also I want two at ME and all other vital areas of the ship
CE_Susman says:
:: notices a change :: XO: It's changing!.  The universal translator cannot give any clue on what it's saying
CMO_Loren says:
<Chief Ford> CMO: Looks that way to me.  By the way, Dr. Rey would like to see you in the research lab.
COspencer says:
::looks at CEO:: CEO: Away from what the transmission? The one we know nothing about it?     XO: By all means that is what we are here for... go to it.
YEOJensen says:
::listens intently to every word from the Senior Officers cataloguing snippets for later examination::
Civ_Ian says:
::takes TL to the Lair::
CSOlecara says:
::Is beginning to think that everyone on the ship is ignoring him::
CE_Susman says:
CO: Yes, Captain
Host FC_Blythe says:
XO: We are ready to change course to intercept the origin of the signals, sir.
TO_Novack says:
CTO: this way we can try to create multiple fire crossfires, sir
XO_Morgan says:
CSO:  I want to know what the source of the transmission is.
Host FC_Blythe says:
::happy to have something to do instead of running diagnostics::
COspencer says:
FCO: Mark a heading towards the source of the transmission
TO_Novack says:
CTO: that is if we are being boarded on bridge, sir
YEOJensen says:
::thinks the Chief Science Officer has a good point and wonders why everyone is ignoring him::
CTO_Roth says:
TO: And not wait for back up
CTO_Roth says:
Tactical Department: IF there's nothing else you're dismissed
CSOlecara says:
XO: Sir, if I may say so, it seems odd that normal radio would be used for interstellar communication.. The federation standard is subspace radio
TO_Novack says:
CTO: I understand
TO_Novack says:
CTO: what is the password to armory's storages?
XO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Yes, but it may not necessarily be interstellar in use.   Please try to locate the exact location.
CTO_Roth says:
TO: same as your command code access.. Only tactical personal captain and XO have access to the armory
CSOlecara says:
XO: Yes, sir
Host FC_Blythe says:
::waits for the XO to give her the "go ahead" and change the course of the ship::
YEOJensen says:
::glances at the Captain's chair and notes the cushions need fluffing ... makes a note on his PADD to get up in the middle of the night when it is not busy up here and take care of that::
COspencer says:
XO: Morgan get with the CSO for a moment and see if you can uncover the source of the transmission
XO_Morgan says:
FC:  Engage at current speed.
TO_Novack says:
CTO: yes sir  ::walks to armory and takes out both type I and type II phasers and holsters to put them in::
Host FC_Blythe says:
XO: Aye, sir!
XO_Morgan says:
CO:  Aye sir.
CTO_Roth says:
::watches as his personal file out::
TO_Novack says:
::feels a bit like Wild Bill Hicock or Billy the Kid::
CSOlecara says:
XO: Still working on it sir.. it is hard to trace
CTO_Roth says:
TO: report to the bridge I be up shortly
TO_Novack says:
::nods and satisfied at my phasers::  CTO: yes sir
XO_Morgan says:
CE:  If you have a moment lets see if we can't figure out something with the Universal translator with the CSO
CMO_Loren says:
:: summons Chief Nurse and Chief Medtech to go over drill reports with them.  Also passes along CO's comments from the meeting: Please report these matters to your people.
TO_Novack says:
::walks out of armory and toward TL::
TO_Novack says:
::enters TL:: TL: bridge
COspencer says:
::goes over to the FCO: FCO: ETA on destination?
Civ_Ian says:
::enters the lair and orders a nice single-malt whiskey::
Host FC_Blythe says:
CO: ETA to the origin of the signal... ::double-checks:: 5 minutes, sir.
TO_Novack says:
::TL takes me to bridge and I walk out of TL heading toward the tactical substation::
CTO_Roth says:
::inspects the armory...checking the charging jacks for the phasers::
YEOJensen says:
::comes back from a day dream and glances over at the Captain watching what everyone is doing standing in his corner::
XO_Morgan says:
::moves to Science station:: CSO:  Can we run a secondary algorithm through the translator to clear up the signal?
CMO_Loren says:
::chief nurse and medtech leave.  Loren prepares memo to other doctors on CO's remarks and transmits it.  Goes to lab to see Dr. Rey.::
Civ_Ian says:
:gets some celery sticks for Tesla to munch on::
TO_Novack says:
::arrives at my substation and sees nothing changed, thinking good::
COspencer says:
::thinks not bad:: FCO: Thank you Blythe  ::remains there:: FCO: bring the system on the viewer when we get there. I like to see what we are looking at
CTO_Roth says:
::Pulls down a rifle and inspects it::
CSOlecara says:
CO: Sir.. I have scanned that bearing.. there is nothing there.. no planets, just open space.. we are too far away to tell if it is a ship yet
CSOlecara says:
XO: That should work.. I'll try it
CSOlecara says:
::Runs a secondary algorithm through::
COspencer says:
CSO: Thank you Mr., continue with your search for an answer
XO_Morgan says:
CE:  What's the status on sensors?  Are we running at 100% yet?
CTO_Roth says:
::places the rifle back where it belongs and checks the body armor::
CTO_Roth says:
::satisfied with the condition of the body armor and checks the rest of the gear::
COspencer says:
::watches them work as she thinks of what may lay ahead::
YEOJensen says:
::takes a second to glance at the view screen::
Host FC_Blythe says:
CO: ETA 2 minutes... slowing down to impulse, sir.
TO_Novack says:
::scanning the internal scanners and external security scanners...nothing::
Civ_Ian says:
::wonders if there is anything good on ship's Tri-V tonite::
COspencer says:
FCO: Thank you Blythe, viewer on please ::places a hand on the back of the FCO chair and looks at the screen::
CSOlecara says:
XO: Sir, the secondary translator scrub came out with nothing, but I have identified what seems to be a small meteorite at those coordinates
XO_Morgan says:
CE: Status of Sensors?
CTO_Roth says:
::finishes his inspection of the armor and leaves Master Chief Petty Officer Baker in charge of the guard detail::
COspencer says:
::turns to CSO and XO::  CSO: Meteorite?
Host FC_Blythe says:
::actives the main viewer... a small meteorite can be pinpointed in the distance, starts to amplify the image::
Civ_Ian says:
::finishes his drink and decides to head back to quarters::
YEOJensen says:
::raises an eyebrow to the possibility that a small meteorite is sending them radio signals::
XO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Acknowledged.
CSOlecara says:
CO: Odd.. There seems to be an active stasis chamber inside the meteor!
XO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Can you get a reading on its composition?
TO_Novack says:
XO: it can be a deception, sir, I suggest we go to yellow alert, sir
COspencer says:
::goes over to the CSO to look at his panel::
CTO_Roth says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge
XO_Morgan says:
TO:  Acknowledged. CO:  I concur with the TO, recommend Yellow Alert.
CE_Susman says:
XO:  Sensors are working well
CSOlecara says:
XO/CO: But sensors cannot positively identify a lifeform inside
TO_Novack says:
::looks at XO::
COspencer says:
XO: Yes Yellow alert
CTO_Roth says:
::in the TL about deck 3::
YEOJensen says:
::stands at the easy between the door to the ready room and the door to Turbolift One on the bridge::
TO_Novack says:
::quickly running diag level five on all weapons to make sure they're functional::
XO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Evidence of mechanical or electrical activity?
CTO_Roth says:
::Arrives on the bridge::
TO_Novack says:
CTO: sir
XO_Morgan says:
*ALL*:: Yellow Alert
COspencer says:
::returns to her chair sitting down in time to hear the klaxons going off::
TO_Novack says:
CTO: we have gone yellow alert, sir
CTO_Roth says:
::Walks over to the Main TAC Station::
CTO_Roth says:
TO: what do we have?
TO_Novack says:
::punches in yellow alert::
YEOJensen says:
::frowns seeing the Captain sit in the "big chair".  Wanted her firsts time in the chair to be with better fluffed cushions that those::
TO_Novack says:
CTO: we have a meteorite on our sensors, sir
Civ_Ian says:
::enters his quarters, Tesla leaps off his shoulder and grabs his gamepad::
CSOlecara says:
XO: none other than the normal functions of the stasis pod.. but .. and well.. sir.. something bothers me about this situation.. but I can't pinpoint what it is
TO_Novack says:
::yellow  alert is coming online::
CTO_Roth says:
TO: Shield Strength?
COspencer says:
::sees Jensen looking at her odd checks to make sure she is in her own chair::
CTO_Roth says:
::check status of the phaser array::
XO_Morgan  (Yellow Alert.wav)
TO_Novack says:
CTO: shields are up, sir
YEOJensen says:
::makes note to push up the fluffing date of those cushions as much as possible::
