U.S.S. Luna
Stardate 10111.11

Queens Night Takes the Rook

Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis:  The Luna, out of its own dimension, is currently in orbit around Providea, a relatively new colony of the crown, to pick up a shipment of Talean ore.  However, the Providean government refuses to let go of their ore without fair compensation, anything else is highway robbery.

The Luna command crew is negotiating with the colony to keep up appearances while they search for a way home.  They have discovered the key involved an unknown stranger on the Titanic warning the ship and preventing it from sinking.  The captain prepares to beam down to speak with Governor Jones.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: remains near the door of the TL, watching activity on the bridge.::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  May I take OPS, M'am?

XO_West says:
CNS: have you spoken with CMO about her actions?

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION:  The CO and CEO beam down to the planet into an empty room, but for one guard.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I'd keep a careful eye on her, if I were you.  She's not herself and I'm not sure what she's capable of.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::stows the PADD in a pocket and nods to the guard:: Guard:  Hello there.  We are here to meet the Governor for tea.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::never had tea before::

XO_West says:
CNS:  do you think that she is fit for duty at the conn?

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: crosses her arms across her chest and growls.::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Sure.  We are just orbiting.

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION:  The guard nods and stands at attention.

XO_West says:
::Nods at CNS::  CNS: take OPS...

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: exits the bridge ::

XO_West says:
::Looking back at CMO for a moment::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the Guard:: Guard: Are you going to direct us, or are we to wander about the corridors till we find the governor by happenstance?

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Walks into the room with his advisor and military attaché, stopping 8 meters from the captain.::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Maybe you should get tactical to follow her?  ::watches the CMO leave::

CNS_Luchena says:
::shrugs and takes the OPS station::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::watches the governor and his assistant carefully::

XO_West says:
::<Thinking>  What a temperamental person::

Host CO_Merced says:
::smiles as the Governor enters:: Gov: Good day Governor Jones.  A pleasure to meet you in person finally.

CNS_Luchena says:
::picks up the XO's thoughts and sadly shakes his head::

XO_West says:
CNS: get her back to the bridge.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Gives a slight bow::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Me?  How do you propose I do that?  ::looks incredulous::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: enters the TL deck 13 ::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  I really have nothing more to say to you unless you have orders to make things right by my people.

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::watches the Governor’s meeting in silence::

CNS_Luchena says:
::uses the computer to locate the Doctor::  CTO:  Could you check on the CMO?  She's on deck 13.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: drops her comm badge in the TL and exits heading for her quarters.::

Host CO_Merced says:
@::smiles softly:: Gov: Time for that in a bit sir.  I was wondering, seeing that it is the time for such, if you would allow us to join you for tea.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: enters her quarters, and locks the door.::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::has a big chip on his shoulder where the empire's concerned::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::thinks this is going to be a short negotiation::

XO_West says:
CNS: if she is not back on the bridge in five,,, have security detain her again!

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices the Doctor's comm badge seems to be staying in the TL, and has the computer locate her by her biosignature::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Nods, wariness to his tall frame.  Turns and leads the group into a side room that is decorated in simple gentility::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Perhaps you should order the CTO after her.

XO_West says:
::glances back at CTO::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  She seems to be in her quarters.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::follows, giving consideration to everything that is pulling at him right now::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Perhaps you should have a word with her?

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::walks a half step behind the governor, lowering his voice:: Gov: Are you sure this is wise, governor?

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Turns around and points to the chairs::  All:  Gentlemen, if you please.

XO_West says:
CNS:...perhaps, but do you have any idea of what is going on with her?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::looks at the chair:: Gov: If it is all the same governor, I'll stand.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: sits in her chair and asks the replicator for some Bolian Tonic Water.::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Looks at Thornberry and in an undervoice::  Asst: Avery life saved is worth it.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::nods, pausing before taking his seat:: Gov: Introductions first.  Governor Jones, may I present to you my Chief of Engineering, Commander Jokeg.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  The staff in sickbay said she had a neurotransmitter imbalance.  She refused treatment, though.

XO_West says:
::Tapping her comm badge::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::looks at Jones without saying anything, then heads to the side table to get the tray of tea and biscuits::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Looks at the Klingon and notices his Military attaché has decided to do the same across from the CEO::

XO_West says:
CNS: why?

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CEO:  Honored sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I have no idea.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: takes her tonic and drinks it slowly.::

XO_West says:
Computer: Locate CMO!

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::nods::Governor...

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I already said she was in her quarters, M'am.

XO_West says:
::nodding:  CNS: so you so you did!

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Although she apparently left her commbadge in a turbolift.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::sits across the low table from the Governor, looking idly out the windows while the tea is prepared:: Gov: Beautiful weather you have here.  Is it often like this?

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  This is my advisor Thornberry.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
XO_West: Would you like me to have my security teams to do a sweep for her?

CNS_Luchena says:
::taps some keys on the OPS panel::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::scanning the room carefully::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: leans back in her chair trying to relax ::

Host CO_Merced says:
@::nods to the advisor:: Adv: A pleasure, sir.
CNS_Luchena says:
XO/CTO:  Hello?  Can anyone hear me.  The CMO is in her quarters.

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::tries to control the sneer on his lips and pours the governor’s cup first, laying a small dish of his favorite biscuits down, and then starts to pour Merced's::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  Yes, it is.  ::Smiles:: Pity we can't sell it.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::staring at Asst Thornberry::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO/CTO:  ::sarcastically::  How about I cut life support to her quarters?  That should solve the problem.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Smiles at his asst::

Host CO_Merced says:
@::smiles politely at the Governor's wit::

XO_West says:
CTO: No, CNS, go after her and find out what is going on with her, she appears to need your help more than anything else.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Hears the CNS:: XO: The CNS says the CMO is in her quarters. would like me to post a security team outside her quarters?

CMO_Ravenprower says:
::scans herself with a tricorder, looking for neurotransmitter imbalance.  synaptic relay delays.::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Takes a sip of his tea::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::holds the tray for the captain to take the biscuits he wants:: CEO: Will you be having tea too, monsieur?

Host CO_Merced says:
@::sips from his tea:: Gov: Very good tea.  ::pauses:: What blend is this?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  No M'am.  She is armed.  I suggest you send tactical then have her quarantined in sickbay.

XO_West says:
CTO: yes do so, but do not frighten her.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  A combination of chamomile with a local herb.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@Asst: No thank you...

XO_West says:
CNS: you can have security erect forcefields around her quarters and talk to her there.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: notes the fluctuations of dopamine levels, and polypeptide deficiency.::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Notifies his tactical teams to head to the CMO's quarters and hold position outside until he gets there::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::bows just a smidge:: CEO: As you wish, monsieur. ::takes the tray away and puts it back on the table, standing behind the governor::

Host CO_Merced says:
@::takes another sip, nodding appreciatively:: Gov: Very pleasing to the palate.  Thank you.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  No.  That would be putting my personal safety at risk.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
XO_West: Shall I try to disarm her?

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Nods, then puts his cup down to look directly at the captain::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::stands behind his Captain::

XO_West says:
CTO: No, just erect forcefields in her quarters and CNS will be there shortly.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::notices the Governor's action and sighs, taking one last sip before setting his cup down as well::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I repeat.  NO.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: pulls out her hypospray and sets it to increase dopamine levels and balance polypeptides.::

XO_West says:
CNS: a word with you...

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Yes?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
XO_West: aye. ::Turns and heads for the nearest TL::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::has no trouble showing his disdain for the Empire to the big Klingon::

XO_West says:
CNS, it is your job to handle things of this nature, it is not clear what the CMO needs at this point...

CMO_Ravenprower :: gives herself an injection :: (Hypospray.wav)

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  She needs to be in sickbay.  I suggest transporting her there.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  Why exactly are you here?

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: closes her eyes and leans back in her chair.::

XO_West says:
CNS:..but it is clear that there is a problem we don not understand and I want you to find out what it is, is that clear?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I am not going to talk to her in her quarters.  She is armed and unstable.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Enters the TL:: Computer: Activate Level 2 forcefields around the CMO's quarters. Authorization Lt. Tal`ma Duvas Alpha 23 Gamma.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::a smile crosses his face briefly, almost unseen:: Gov: You know why I am here Governor.  It cannot have escaped your notice, I am sure.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
<Computer> Level 2 Forcefields are in place around the CMO Ravenprowers quarters.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  Beyond the stated interest?

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: doses off in her chair, she is so exhausted.::

XO_West says:
::Shakes her head::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::after waiting the proper amount of time, removes the used teacups from before the captain and governor, putting them away::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Arrives on Deck 5 and heads to the CMO's Quarters and awaits the CNS::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I suggest, again, that tactical take her to sickbay.

XO_West says:
*CTO*: have you arrived at CMO's quarters and is she present?

Host CO_Merced says:
@::gauges the Governor for a moment with his eyes, then looks briefly to the others in the room before returning to the Governor:: Gov: Perhaps this discussion would be best conducted between you and myself only.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
*XO*: Yes sir. Me and my team are outside the CMO's quarters now sir.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Weighs what is at risk and slowly nods::  All:  Please wait outside.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::turns to exit the room::

XO_West says:
CTO: Do not take the chance that she may be armed and ready for a fight, I will beam her directly to SB you follow.

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::frowns:: Gov: Governor, please... It isn't wise to be alone with them.

XO_West says:
*Sickbay*: prepare for the arrival of CMO.

CNS_Luchena says:
::orders sickbay to prepare a forcefield and await the CMO's transport::

XO_West says:
CNS: beam CMO to SB and erect forcefields around her, then get down there, is that understood?

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Does not look at him but the captain::  Asst:  You will be just outside the door.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
*XO*: How about anstising her first the transport her to sickbay. At least she will be out for the medical staff to help her.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Certainly M'am.

CNS_Luchena says:
::notifies sickbay and initiates transport of the CMO::

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION:  The CMO is beamed to sickbay.

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::frowns a bit more:: Gov: Very good, sir. ::turns and leaves the room::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: wakes up with a start and looks around ::

Host CO_Merced says:
@::waits till the others have exited the room before speaking:: Gov:  Officially we are here for the stated purpose.  ::pauses:: However,  the Council has become concerned with some, shall we say, disruptive influences, that have seemed to take root here on your planet.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Permission to leave the bridge.  ::gets up and goes anyways::

XO_West says:
*CTO*: Return to the bridge as soon as CMO is secure.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  At least they are listening to some things.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Heads to Sickbay as quickly as possible::

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Sickbay

CNS_Luchena says:
::shakes his head over the whole fiasco::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::walks around, looking over things::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: stands::

CNS_Luchena says:
::exits TL and heads to sickbay::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Enters into sickbay moments later with his security team and looks for the CMO::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: draws her bat'leth and asks the CTO's intentions ::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@::waits outside the door with Jokeg::

Host CO_Merced says:
@::smiles sardonically for a moment, then returns to business::  Gov:  The orders that I have given are rather open, and quite subject to my discretion.  ::pauses again::  I am not inclined to take any action which would prove the point of those at the heart of this 'disruption'.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters sickbay to find a security team and the Doctor behind a forcefield.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::ignores the Asst::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  How are you feeling?

CNS_Luchena says:
::asks the medical staff what their readings are saying::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CMO_Ravenprower: Put the Bat'leth down. ::holding his phaser at her::

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  I don't think that's necessary.  She's behind a forcefield.

XO_West says:
::Observing the rest of the bridge crew::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Places hands on the table::  CO:  Forgive me.  The government is robbing the people blind, they are literally beggaring us because we have what they want, but they don't want to  cover the cost.  I don't know who is in charge or believes this is correct policy, but we want it stopped.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
CTO : what are your intentions?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Motions to his security teams to spread out and stay away::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
CNS : I am fine. WHY?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CMO_Ravenprower: I'm here to help you get well. Now just put the Bat'leth down.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Just wondering.  ::listens to some MO who is filing him in on the doctor's current condition.

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::gets his blood in a boil and turns to Jokeg:: CEO: Why can't your stupid empire just leave us alone? Why must you rob the common people?

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: growls at the CTO and sheaths her weapon.::

XO_West says:
::looking at computer console, OPS station, making sure that communications tags are still open to CO.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods his head as the MO talks to him::

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  Lower the forcefield.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
CTO : Why have you detained me?:

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION: OPS is picking up an unusual call, addressed for the captains eyes only.

CNS_Luchena says:
<MO yodel>::drops the forcefield around the doctor::

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION:  The forcefield is lowered.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::nods soberly:: Gov:  I thought you might more than know about this 'disruption'.  ::frowns::  Have you approached the Council with the Mandate of Autonomy?  Tried to use the political channels available?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::he slowly looks at Thornberry::Asst: It is not my place to criticize the actions of my superiors. Much less the Empire.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Takes a defensive position for just in case::

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  The doctor seems to be fine now.  I suggest you order us all back to the bridge so we can stick together.

XO_West says:
::Notices message coming through::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
CTO : Answer me LT!!:

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  She's fine.  Relax.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CMO_Ravenprower: I was ordered to do so by the XO.

XO_West says:
*CNS*: seems to be fine?  what was the problem in the first place?

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::smirks:: CEO: They issue your uniform and death sticks. I guess they issue your opinions too?

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  I have tried every known channel and influence I know of.  But we are not the only colony dealing with this.  It has been going on now for the past 10 years, the reports that is.  And it is time for someone to take a stand.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@Asst: I may not agree with what they are doing, but that is a mute point.

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  It was a medical problem and has been corrected.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: growls at the CTO,:: For what reason, I was in my private quarters, no one gave me any orders to return to duty.:

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::a bit startled by the statement::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@Asst: Of course you can revolt against the Empire, die a warriors death, instead of staying on your behinds, drinking tea, and doing nothing.

XO_West says:
*CNS*: What medical problem?  I cannot have her on my bridge if she is going to have temper tantrums such as this.  What medical problems, explain.

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO/CMO:  Look guys.  I know you both outrank me, but I think it would be a really, really good idea if we returned to the bridge.

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  I'm a counselor, not a doctor.  The medical staff assures me the problem is corrected.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CMO_Ravenprower: The CNS and XO where worried that you presented a danger to yourself and other crewmembers. It was only a precaution.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
CTO : presenting a danger resting in my quarters?::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
CTO : How?:

XO_West says:
*CTO* make sure that the CMO is secure and return to your station.

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION:  The message comes through again.

XO_West says:
CNS: return to OPS, leave the CMO in SB.

Host CO_Merced says:
@Gov: I am not unsympathetic to your cause, but I do not speak for my crew in this, so my latitude in this matter is little.  If you refuse to comply with the stated request, I will be forced to do my best to 'bring you to heel' ::said with a twist of the lips indicating distaste::.  I would rather it not come to that.  It would end well for...

Host CO_Merced says:
@Gov: ...neither of us.

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  Under the circumstances, I believe it would be better for us all to be in one place, don't you?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CMO_Ravenprower: I do not know all the facts. If you have a complaint then file it thru the proper channels. I was only doing what I was ordered to do.

XO_West says:
::Knows that there is a message for the CO, but does not have his command codes to retrieve it::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::smirks:: CEO: You're down here, aren't you, monsieur. We have done much, to bring you begging.

CNS_Luchena says:
::can't quite believe this::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
*XO*: For what reason I have been cleared by Sickbay staff.:

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Nods solemnly:: CO:  We understand that, and we are prepared to accept the consequence.  ::Stands with a smile::  Perhaps if we had met at another time and place...

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the CMO and tries to not roll his eyes::

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: pulls the CNS over to her and whispers in his ear.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::listens closely::

Host CO_Merced says:
@Gov:  Would you be willing to comply if I made certain concession, within my purview to make as Captain?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@Asst: IF you think we are "begging" you are making a fatal mistake. The Captain is trying to find another resolution to this crisis. Before hotter heads prevail, and your colony becomes a memory.

XO_West says:
*CMO* I would prefer you to rest there in SB, we will talk later.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  I doubt you have that ability, but I am willing to listen.

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  Under the circumstances, I believe leaving the doctor in SB is ill advised.

CNS_Luchena says:
::is not going to leave anyone in this timeline if he can help it::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ CEO: You are sorely mistaken, monsieur. Sorely. We are prepared for you, and will not bow under the King's bloody boot this time.

Host CO_Merced says:
@Gov: You realize that if you attack our ship with your weapons, which I do not even have to mention, are illegal, then every available ship will be brought here to 'bring you into submission', even if that means bombarding the colony to dust.  I want to avoid that, and I am sure you want to as well.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::shakes his head, turning his head::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CNS_Luchena: Am I needed here anymore?

CMO_Ravenprower says:
*XO*: Suggest you listen to the CNS, his point is well taken.:

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  I will not fire the first shot captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  We really don't want to interfere with others in this timeline.  Please reconsider leaving her in sickbay.

XO_West says:
*CO*: Not to interrupt your meeting, however there has been received a message, marked,"For Captain's Eyes" only, sir.

XO_West says:
*CNS* why?

Host CO_Merced says:
@Gov:  On my ship, we have supplies, medical, emergency and various others to allow for extended missions.  We have just come from a Space Station, so are fully stocked.  Suppose I was to supplement the price the Council is offering with some of my ship's supplies.

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ CEO: Murderous E-I's..... ::spits on the ground and turns away from Jokeg::

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  I was under the assumption we are trying to limit our interactions with this crew.  Therefore it would be best if we congregate in one place.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::looking apologetically to the Governor:: COMM: XO: Forward it to the PADD I have with me Commander.

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  That will solve the problem now, but what about next time?

XO_West says:
*CO*: message coming through, now.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::laughs::Asst: Spitting, and I was thinking you people had better manners...

CNS_Luchena says:
::sighs::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@::Nods for the captain to continue::

XO_West says:
::Tapping console to transfer message to CO::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Stands there awaiting an answer from the CNS::

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  Sorry.  I was hoping the XO would respond.  I think everything here is under control.

Host CO_Merced says:
@Gov: One moment, please.  ::pulls the PADD from his pocket and reads the message::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::doesn't look at him:: CEO: We do. When it's 'people' we're dealing with. Not mindless slaves of the Empire.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::shakes his head entering a two-word reply, wondering who sent the message, and how they would get this back::

CNS_Luchena says:
::gives the CMO an odd look::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CNS_Luchena: Very well then. My security team will stay behind then. I will be on the bridge.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: takes her COMM badge back from the CTO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders who else's neurotransmitters might be out of whack from all the time travel::

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION:  Another response is given.  "Return now and fix what needs to be fixed."

Host CO_Merced says:
@Gov:  The next time, you will have had more time to prepare, and more time to try the political channels, even appeal to the Crown.  In all, I do not think you are really prepared for what would come of a conflict now.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::decides not to pursue this any further::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Turns and exits the sickbay and heads for the TL and enters:: Computer: Bridge.

XO_West says:
*CNS* at this moment we are not working on the timeline recovery, we will resume so when CO return to the ship, so for now, I believe that the CMO is safe in SB, now return to the bridge.

Host CO_Merced says:
@::eyes the PADD, thinking this is really bizarre, but entering a reply nonetheless::

Asst_Thornberry says:
@ ::turns and looks at the door, wondering what could be taking the governor so long::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Arrives on the Bridge moments later and takes his station::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Sorry.  I'd better get back up there.  When you do get released, bring a medical tricorder to the bridge.

CNS_Luchena says:
::leaves sickbay and enters TL::

Host Gov_Jones says:
@CO:  I will consider your offer.  It is apparent that more pressing matters require your attention.  I will speak with my advisors and get back with you in one hour.

CMO_Ravenprower says:
:: goes to her office and sits down calmly::

Host Gov_Jones says:
ACTION:  There is no reply.

CNS_Luchena says:
::arrives on bridge::

Host CO_Merced says:
@::nods:: Gov: It is my fervent wish that we can end this day without any bloodshed.  I have genuinely enjoyed making your acquaintance, and would like to have the possibility open of building a friendship.

XO_West says:
:;Sees the CNS return to the bridge and motions for him to take OPS::

Host Gov_Jones says:
