Episode 130: "Test Drive Part 1": It's been a relaxing time for the crew of the Luna.  They have been able to take stock of what has happened during the past months and try to come to terms.  Some more successful then others.  Capt Savar has decided to take a leave of absence leaving the ship in the hands of the friendly neighborhood spook, one Capt MacPherson-Quest.

CSO_Singh says:
::On the bridge at her station, forcing herself not to glare at the back of Captain MacPherson's back.  After all, it wasn't his fault Savar needed a break and Starfleet gave him the Luna until Savar returned.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: At main OPS going through the check list preparing for departure ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::in Sickbay going over patient charts::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::at flight control... changing it to her preferences... hums a little ditty under her breath.::
CEO_Lingn says:
:: on the bridge ready to test out his ship after a week of repairing it::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Sitting in the Counselor's chair, slightly off center, his feet up on the armrest::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan stands at the CON one more time. It has been almost 3 yrs since he was in command of the Artemis, would he gain back his confidence?::
CMO_Lynch says:
::feels somewhat happy that he isn't on the bridge as if someone was humming horribly up there::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
CO:  Capt, flight path plotted and ready to roar...
CTO_Jarot says:
::on his way to the bridge, with the new security rosters which took him a few hours to fix::  Self: Let's hope things will work out for the newbies... ::smiles faintly as the doors open and he steps onto the bridge::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Thank you     OPS: Let the station OPS know we're ready for departure
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks over at Alec and smiles::  CTO:  Good to see you Commander.  ::She emphasis the title.::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Leans over.:: OPS:  Heya I'm new.. my name is Brianna...
OPS-Qui says:
ACO: Aye sir!    :: Whispers back to the FCO ::   FCO: Nice to meet you.  I'm Kehari
OPS-Qui says:
COMM: Avalon: USS Luna to Avalon Station.  We are ready for departure
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Once we're cleared, maneuver out of space dock with thrusters only
CTO_Jarot says:
::as his smiles gently goes into a grin he nods at the CSO::  CSO: Likewise, Commander...  it seems that "C" word needs to be added to my regular voc. soon....
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
CO:  Aye aye Sir!  ::Accidentally hits the go button and the ship shudders and creaks.::  Oooops Sorry Sir!  ::Winces::
CSO_Singh says:
::Chuckles::  CTO:  If I can get used to it, you are more then able to.
CEO_Lingn says:
CO: Do you want an experience person who knows how to fly?
CEO_Lingn says:
CO: If so I will do it.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Quckly releases docking clamps and disconnects power chords and retracts the umbilical ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::closes the file and pulls up the next one and notices its Lt Anuviel::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan feels as though his presence at the CON is not a welcomed one by the crew. After all, after their last mission who can trust one who is a member of SFI who mislead the Luna as to the real reason they were there::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
@<Avalon> COM: Luna: You are cleared for departure.  Happy sailing Luna.
OPS-Qui says:
FCO: Brianna, just take a deep breath.  It's all good!   :: Smiles at the FCO ::    I've released the docking clamps for you
CMO_Lynch says:
::sighs realizing that should be forwarded on to Betazed he marks the file as no-longer a patient and sends the data through subspace::
OPS-Qui says:
COM: Avalon:  Received Avalon.  See you on the flip side!
CTO_Jarot says:
CSO: Let's hope so... ::smiles again as he walks around the tac console and steps onto the command circle::  CO: Captain, here are the security rosters you requested....  ::hands the CO the PADD::
OPS-Qui says:
ACO: We are cleared for departure
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
OPS:  I'm just soooooooooooo nervous. This is the first time I get to drive a real ship.. It's not as easy as in simulations.  ::Whispers::  Thank you... I clean forgot about them.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: No I think we're fine, Chief
CEO_Lingn says:
:: thinks about taking his ship and hightailing it because if not the FCO was going to get them killed::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Grins at the FCO ::   FCO: Simulations are nothing compared to driving a real star ship!  You'll be just fine!
CNS_Franklin says:
::Leans over towards the Captain:: ACO: Are we, sir?  Maybe I should check on my insurance....
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Thank you Mr. Jarot
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: Aye, aye, Captain... ::turns and moves back to his tactical station::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Whispers ::   FCO: Besides, all the buttons are in the right place.  It's just a matter of rote.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Take us out
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Engages thrusters::  OPS:  So I've noticed.  ::hears the Capt.:: ACO:  Thrusters engaged... we are off.

ACTION:  With the running lights on, the Luna slowly pulls away from the station heading for the outer markers.

Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan looks over the PADD::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Checking and double checking power allotments ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::feels the familiar shudder as the Luna is underway::

ACTION:  For a change everything is running smoothly on the Luna.. Green across the board.

Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: When we have the chance I'd like a word with you if I may?
CEO_Lingn says:
::listens to the sounds of his engines::
CMO_Lynch says:
::closing the last file he leans back, cups his hands behind his head and places his feet on the desk::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::hands shaking, she keeps an eye on the outer marker.::
CSO_Singh says:
::Sighs heavily as they pull away from the station.  Even though Brian had left a few hours earlier, only now did it feel like their time together was really over.::
OPS-Qui says:
ACO: All systems at the green, sir.
CNS_Franklin says:
::Looks over towards the FCO, and thinks someone needs a talking to.  Standing up, he quietly strolls over towards the helm::  FCO: It's not so bad, is it?
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Give it some time Mr. Qui when we actually get underway
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::looks up at him with nervousness in her eyes.::  CNS:  Actually Sir it is...  I've never driven something so big before for real.. I don't know how I got my qualifications.
CEO_Lingn says:
::continues with his engine checks::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::   ACO: Oh sir...I always give it time.  It's just nice to know, on occasion that all systems are functioning within normal parameters.   :: Turns and smiles at the ACO ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glancing at the current tactical readouts he glances at his assistant at tac 2 and relaxes with the nod to acknowledge his findings::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles back::

ACTION:  The Luna has reached the outer markers.

CEO_Lingn says:
FCO: Don't mess up my engines. I want them in top condition.
CNS_Franklin says:
::Leans in close::  FCO: Space is pretty big, too.  Once you're away from the station... poof.  Empty air.  Let the computer help you, just relax.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees the outer markers have been reached and leans over to FCO ::   FCO: Psst...we've reached the outer markers.  Step on the gas, eh?
CSO_Singh says:
::Caught of guard::  CO:  Aye captain.  I have things set here.
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Tears in her eyes because the CEO doesn't trust her.  Sniffling.:: CEO:  I'll try Sir!
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
OPS:  But....but....  ::Tears on her face::  Capt has said otherwise.  I have to follow orders don't I?
CEO_Lingn says:
::ignores the tears dispassionately::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
CNS:  But everyone is yelling at me.
MO_Feron says:
::enters CMO's Office::  CMO: Sir, I believe we were short shipped in our supply  ::noticing his feet on the desk::  Sorry to interrupt you sir, I'll come back later.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Take it easy Chief, you were green once yourself
OPS-Qui says:
:: Giggles ::    FCO: Imagine, Brianna...use your imagination, think of where all the buttons are, and just relax!   :: Smiles at the FCO ::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Rolls his eyes at the CEO and thinks he'll have to put him through a bulkhead::  FCO: Come now, I'm not yelling at you.
CEO_Lingn says:
ACO: I suppose so. Sir.
CMO_Lynch says:
::putting his feet back on the floor and sitting back up::  Feron: No, no.  What is the problem.  ::waving his hands in a "Come back" motion::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Continues to move along with the ship at thrusters.::  CNS:  No your not... ::Grabs his sleeve and rubs her nose on it.
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::looks at the pretty ops unsure...:: OPS:  If you are sure.... ::Hits the nearest button and sends the ship into reverse.::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Keeps a pleasant smile plastered on his face, and rubs her head gently::  FCO: You'll be fine, dear.
MO_Feron says:
::turns back to face the Doctor::  CMO: Commander... it seems Avalon didn't transfer all the supplies the manifest says they did.  ::holding out a PADD::
CEO_Lingn says:
:: holds on to something::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the FCO and grins softly::  Self: Ok... it is obvious we got new arrivals here... ::decides to concentrate himself on his task at hand::
CMO_Lynch says:
::suddenly slumps forward in his chair as the ships slides into reverse and thinks that can't be good for the Engines::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Falls flat on his face, thinking 'maybe not'...::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Mr. Jarot you have the CON.  CSO: Mr. Singh shall we use the Ready Room?
CMO_Lynch says:
*Bridge* What in the name of sympathy are you guys doing up there?
CSO_Singh says:
::Glances at the FCO and raises her eyebrow, then turns to look up at the captain::  CO:  Aye sir.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels a herself jerk forward...and glances quickly at the FCO and whispers ::   FCO: Imagine, Brianna...don't actually put into affect!   :: Starts to laugh ::
CEO_Lingn says:
::has a urge to disable the Helm Console and slave it to his::
CSO_Singh says:
::Standing up, she places her console on standby and heads for the ready room.::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Looks sheepish.:: OPS:  I guess I wasn't suppose to do that...  ::hits the console again sending the ship forward...still at thruster speed.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances up at the CO as he hears his name and nods as he understands the remark::  CO: Aye, Captain...  ::leaves his console to his assistant and moves around his console and steps onto the command circle::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan heads to the Ready Room::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Picks himself up off the floor, holding his nose so it doesn't bleed everywhere::  Self: Right, then... ::He walks past the CTO::  CTO: Uh, Chief, I'm going to get this taken care of... maybe that one would be best taking some time off and continuing her training.
CEO_Lingn says:
::checks the FCO's qualifications::
CSO_Singh says:
::As the doors part before her, she steps into the room and glances around with a frown that she quickly wipes from her face with an unconscious sigh.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the jerk again as her back meets the back of her chair and laughs more ::    FCO: You're doing just fine, Brianna!   :: Gives the FCO a thumbs up ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::tapping his finger on the desk waiting for a reply::  Feron: We'll deal with this later crewman.  I'm not receiving any response from the bridge.  There might be something wrong.  ::stands and heads out of sickbay::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan follows the CSO into the room and walks over to a window and looks out for a moment with his arms crossed::

ACTION:  At thruster speed it will take the Luna 3 years to get to Starbase 917.

CNS_Franklin says:
CTO: But give her a second chance... I'll be back soon if you need me to help out with that.
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: I would like a chance to test our warp engines.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan turns:: CSO: I know that you and Capt Savar were close and I want you to know that I am not here to replace him
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CNS::  CNS: Very well, Counselor... :.smiles faintly::
CTO_Jarot says:
::takes a seat in the center chair::  CEO: Acknowledged...
CSO_Singh says:
::Looking at the captain, stands at attention.  His comment about their closeness catches her off guard.::  ACO:  I know sir.
CMO_Lynch says:
::arrives on the bridge::  CTO: What is going on up here?
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Stand at ease Cmdr
CEO_Lingn says:
::walks over to the CMO::
CSO_Singh says:
::Something seeming wrong about the officer, she does as the captain says and looks around.::
CMO_Lynch says:
::spots the CEO approach::  CEO: Lieutenant.
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CMO::  CMO: Something wrong, Doctor..?
CEO_Lingn says:
:: whispers :: CMO: We got a newbie FCO.
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Continues to hum along at thruster speed.. nobody telling her different.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the FCO for a moment::  FCO: Increase speed to warp 5 and calculate the ETA to the asteroid field on our course...
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
<Avalon> COM: Luna: Luna what are you doing.. going out for a stroll?
CMO_Lynch says:
CTO: Yes... the sudden shift into reverse sending all my patients grasping for something.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: I may wear the uniform of a Star Fleet Intelligence officer but I want you to know that I too was kept in the dark as to why the Luna was really there
CMO_Lynch says:
::hearing the CEO he looks toward the Flight Control Chair::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Shaky voice.:: CTO:  Aye Sir... increasing to warp 5... ::taps her console determined to get it right.::  ETA is 1.5 hrs.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Smiles a moment ::   COM: Avalon: Green flight officer, Avalon...we're going to be steping on the gas here in a moment!    :: Closes the channel ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::smiles faintly::  CMO: My apologies for that, Doctor... we had to test the thrusters.. ::coughs::  thoroughly... procedures... you know how it goes... ::smiles::
CMO_Lynch says:
::leans in and whispers to the CTO::  CTO: Are we sure we can trust her at warp 5?
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Can we increase to warp eight?
CSO_Singh says:
::Realizing why the room is different, she stares at where the picture was, not sure what to make of its disappearance.  If Savar took it, then why?  But then, who else would take the picture?  Her attention returns to MacPherson::  CO: I... think I understand sir.  But everything about that mission was... bad.
CMO_Lynch says:
::eyes the CTO's comment doubtfully::  CTO: Yeah.... all... riigghhttt.....
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan sits on a corner of the desk:: CSO: Please, have a seat ::motions towards a chair next to the desk::
CTO_Jarot says:
::whispers::  CMO: I have no choice in this matter.... but if you feel uncomfortable with that I can increase to warp 8 or 9....
CSO_Singh says:
::Nodding, takes a seat.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::holds his hand at the CEO for a moment:::  CEO: One moment, Chief...
CMO_Lynch says:
CTO: I think I'd trust myself more at Warp 9 than that one... and I've never had any training in Starship maneuvering.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Leans over and whispers to the FCO ::   FCO: See?  You're doing fine, Bri
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
OPS: But everyone is complaining...  that blue man hates me...
CEO_Lingn says:
:: whispers:: CTO: I have training and experience.
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins::  CMO: So noted...
CEO_Lingn says:
::overhears the FCO:: FCO: Blueman?
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: I too was once a redshirt who commanded a starship...a Steamrunner to be precise
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Chief... we will increase warp speed gradually to check the engines' capacity... are you ready for that ?
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
::Her jaw set.::  CEO:  Well you are not pink now are you.
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: That's good.
OPS-Qui says:
FCO: Don't worry about what everyone thinks...you know what to do, just do it!    :: Smiles ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::stands back up straight and steps to the rear of the bridge so he can grab a hold of something::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Still holding his nose::  CMO: Hey doc... you got anything that can help me out?
CTO_Jarot says:
::gives OPS' a thumbs up for the coaching::
CSO_Singh says:
::Listens, her thoughts popping back to the picture, wondering if she should try to contact Savar to make sure he had it.  Brings her mind back to MacPherson::
CEO_Lingn says:
FCO: I'd prefer to be called an Andorian. I am Lt. Lingn.
CMO_Lynch says:
CNS: Counselor?  ::looks curiously at the nose holding::  What happened?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees the CTO's sign out of the corner of her eye, turns a bit and winks at him, smiling ::

ACTION:  Franklin has dribbled blood all over the bridge and nobody has noticed.

CNS_Franklin says:
CMO: Your... uh, patients weren't the only ones who weren't prepared.
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
CEO:  Hi Sir, I promise not to hurt your precious engines.
CEO_Lingn says:
::looks at the blood:: CMO: The CNS needs your services.
CMO_Lynch says:
CNS: Well you should have said something sooner.  ::reaches up for the nose::  Does it hurt when I do this?  ::squeezes the nose slightly::
CTO_Jarot says:
FCO: On my mark, increase speed to warp 6, Ensign....
CEO_Lingn says:
FCO: Good.
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
CTO:  Warp 6 Sir...  ::Gets a little ahead of herself.::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Grimaces::  CMO: A little.
CMO_Lynch says:
::slaps the CNS on the back::  CNS: Congratulations.... you broke it.  Come this way my boy.  ::motions for the TL::
CTO_Jarot says:
:.grins slightly::  FCO: One advise, Ensign... don't make promises you can't hold up to...  especially to Chief Engineers..  :.glances at the CEO and grins::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: During my last mission as her CO I almost cost the lives of many of the crew under my command and since that time I lost faith in my abilities to command that is why I left and took a position with SFI. So you know I am not wanting to stay in this position, I want Capt Savar back just as you do
OPS-Qui says:
:: Quickly interjects ::   FCO: Don't hit that button...YET!
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
OPS:   Ooooops  another boo boo.
OPS-Qui says:
FCO: Wait for him to tell you.    :: Whispers quietly ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at OPS and gives the FCO's the signal::  FCO: Engage...
CNS_Franklin says:
CMO: Yay for a broken nose.  ::Chuckles::
CSO_Singh says:
ACO:  Yes sir.  I understand that sir.  That feeling of loss of ability of command seems to go hand in hand with being a captain.
CEO_Lingn says:
::grins::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
CTO:  Already there Sir.....  ::Begins shaking uncontrollably the suddenly jumps up and runs off the bridge crying.::
CEO_Lingn says:
::flexes his antennae's and focuses them on the FCO::
CMO_Lynch says:
::smiles back at the CNS as the TL doors close behind them::  CNS: Now continue to apply a little pressure here and here..  ::showing him where::  CNS: So...  I haven't seen you before?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Slaves navigation to her console ::   CTO: I've got navigation slaved to OPS, sir
CEO_Lingn says:
:: takes the Helm::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sighs and checks coordinates and speed ::
CNS_Franklin says:
CNS: Probably not.  I'm Harold Franklin, Counselor, just out of Starfleet Medical.  I would shake your hand... but mine's kind of bloody right now.  ::Continues to hold his nose::
CTO_Jarot says:
::sees the FCO run away and glances at OPS::  OPS: Very well...   CEO: Chief, you better go back to your console and monitor the engines and supervise tactical when the times comes...
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::notices that Singh keeps looking at a space where a picture once hung:: CSO: Tell me...what would you expect from me?
CEO_Lingn says:
::leaves for the Engineering console::
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: We are ready for warp seven.
CTO_Jarot says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: Counselor, when you're... ::pauses and points to his nose::  better again, be sure to visit our FCO...
CMO_Lynch says:
::looking at the blood covered hand::  CNS: Good choice.  ::chuckles::  Well, consider that your initiation into space.  ::notices the doors open at the correct deck::  After you Counsellor?  ::motioning::
CTO_Jarot says:
OPS: Increase to warp 7....
OPS-Qui says:
:: Makes a few flight corrections ::
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: Aye sir...
OPS-Qui says:
:: Fingers fly over her console ::   CTO: Increasing to warp 7...now, sir
CSO_Singh says:
::Eyes open wide as she starts to pull back, only to clench her hands and give his question a thoughtful answer.::  CO:  I... would expect... sir... that you would follow through with whatever orders Starfleet gives us and keep the ship and crew safe, the same as any other Starfleet officer... especially one in command... sir.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at OPS and turns to Lingn::  CEO: How is it looking there, Chief ?
CNS_Franklin says:
CMO: Thanks doc.  ::Continues to drip blood everywhere walking down the hall::  Tell me about the Luna... not the ship, her crew... although I think I got a decent read on that Lingn guy....
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: How about one who feels that he hasn't the ability to?
CEO_Lingn says:
::looks over his console:: CTO: Very good. Lets try warp eight now.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods and glances at OPS::  OPS: Whenever you're ready, increase further to warp 8... and let me know the ETA to our designated asteroid field...
OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears the CEO and prepares for warp 8 ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::sighs as he enters Sickbay and grabs his medkit::  CNS: Well... I've only been here a short time but... it seems there is quite a tangled web of uncertainty and misforgivings about this vessel.  ::applies a blood coagulant::
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: After warp eight I would like to test the engines at warp nine.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Nods ::   CTO: Increasing to warp 8...now.
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Acknowledged.... what's the engines' maximum warp speed ?
CNS_Franklin says:
CMO: It does seem that way.  Honestly, why can't people just work together in a decent manner anymore?
CSO_Singh says:
::Unconsciously frowns::  ACO:  Sir...  I spent time with Captain Savar pointing out the reasons for him to return.  I then spent time with my boyfriend, who is the captain of the USS Scimitar, and by the way, had dealings with SFI, and he told me that it was common for captains to go through a period of feeling incapable.
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Warp 9.6 Sir.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Checks for ETA ::   CTO: ETA to asteroid field in 20 minutes, sir
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: But we can go 9.8 if we need to.
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Understood...
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Ready for warp nine.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears the CEO and prepares for warp 9 ::
CSO_Singh says:
ACO: They have three choices... they either quit and become civilians or something else, they take a break from command and come back, or they keep right on plugging.
CMO_Lynch says:
::sighing some more::  CNS: Well, as you are aware... everyone has their own opinion on how things should operate and with the laxed view of military protocol... everyone feels they can speak their mind.  And your read on that Chief Engineer must have made you wonder how he got through the Academy.  I know I wonder sometimes.
CTO_Jarot says:
OPS: Very well, keep an eye on it and increase to warp 9....
CMO_Lynch says:
::notices the blood has stopped flowing he pulls out a regenerator for the broken cartilage::
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Keep a close eye on things, Chief...
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: Aye, sir.  Warp 9...    :: Presses a button ::   ...now, sir
CEO_Lingn says:
::watches carefully::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Tries to not move while the medical devices are in his face::  CMO: Oh, you mean we're not really sure?  He's certainly got an attitude about him.  Lax protocol, you say... was Captain Savar a bad Captain?

ACTION:  The asteriod field comes into view.

Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan gets up from the corner of the desk and walks back to the window with his hands clenched behind his back:: CSO: SFI is everywhere ::chuckles a bit:: Cmdr. This is my second ship I have been assigned too since I joined SFI. Wish I could tell you what I do there, but I can't divulge that information. Tell me about Capt Savar Mr. Singh?
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: Asteroid field on screen, sir
CEO_Lingn says:
OPS: Very good piloting I must say.
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: Dropping out of warp
CMO_Lynch says:
::cringes slightly at that question::  CNS: Well... I admit...  ::stumbling trying to choose his words correctly::  I have had my disagreements in his actions recently.  The crew seems to look up to him which suggests a past of exceptional performance.  Something I would not doubt from a Vulcan.
CTO_Jarot says:
OPS: Aye.... ::turns to the main viewer::  gradually slow us down and bring us within range for our weapons' tests...   ::glances at the CEO::  CEO: We'll do another test later...
OPS-Qui says:
:: Smiles to herself ::  CEO: Thank you sir
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Thank you.
CNS_Franklin says:
CMO: Disagreements, huh?
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at OPS::  OPS: I agree with the assessment of our Chief...  never considered a career in the flight control department...  ::grins::
CEO_Lingn says:
::takes over tactical and begins a system wide scan::
CSO_Singh says:
ACO:  I am used to not being told things dealing with SFI ::Gives a wry look::  As for Captain Savar... how do you define a man with many depths in a few words?  ::Lightly touches the medallion under her shirt.::  He strongly believes in IDIC.  He cares about his crew and believes that violence should be the very last measure.
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: Dropping to impulse.  We are coming into weapons range.
CSO_Singh says:
ACO: And while he may not agree with something, he will do it to the best of his ability... ::Whispers::  at the cost of himself.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Smiles ::   CTO: I have, sir, but I like power games better
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Shall I test them Sir?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Checks her console ::   CTO: We are within weapons range, sir.  Coming to an all stop
CMO_Lynch says:
::shoulders slump as the CNS read him correctly::  CNS: Yes... Our last mission for example had us assaulting a Breen/Dominion Base.  I still feel we could have approached it differently despite Starfleet Orders.  We are after all encouraged NOT to blindly follow orders.
CTO_Jarot says:
::smiles::  OPS: Understood...  CEO: Take us to yellow alert, raise shields and warm up the weapons array...
OPS-Qui says:
:: Turns and smiles ::   CTO: And I don't mind the double duty
CMO_Lynch says:
::stops the regenerator and scans the nose with a medical tricorder::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: I have a daughter....a Vulcan daughter as a matter of fact.....
CEO_Lingn says:
:: takes the ship to yellow alert and warms up the weapons::
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins::  OPS: Well, Lieutenant... now you're stuck with it for the entire shift...
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Ready.
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at him curiously.::  ACO:  She did not come aboard with you.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: My wife and I adopted her after my best friend and his wife died in an unfortunate accident
OPS-Qui says:
:: Giggles while checking power allocation ensuring weapons have the needed power for their tests ::
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Phasers at half power, target a small asteroid and fire when ready....
CMO_Lynch says:
::notes the yellow light blink on his desk... the only one in sickbay to avoid upsetting his patients::
CSO_Singh says:
::Listens.::
CEO_Lingn says:
::puts phasers at half power, targets and fires::
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Results ?

ACTION:  A hit.. one of the asteriod sides have been sheered off leaving a gapping hole.

CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: A hit.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: And it was his and his wife's wish that I adopt her, even at the dismay of many Vulcans on Vulcan. They did not come because my wife and I felt that a starship is no place to raise a family. I get to see her on my visual communiques
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Excellent...  target another asteriod, go to full phaser power....  ::nods at OPS to move them in if the CEO's target requires it::
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Shall I try at full power to finish testing?

ACTION:  Suddenly a figure enters the bridge and takes a seat at the flight console.  Nobody has seen this gentleman before...he takes back control of flight.  In sickbay several doctors that Lynch has never seen before begin scurrying around checking on patients

CSO_Singh says:
ACO:  Ahhh... that must be hard though.
CNS_Franklin says:
::Nods while the devices are away from his face, and notices a blinking light::  CMO: What is that light?
CEO_Lingn says:
:: targets and fires the asteroid::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Glances back seeing the CTO nod and thinks she understands his meaning.  Turns back around and prepares to move the Luna in closer, if needed ::

ACTION:  A direct hit.. the asteriod disintergrates into millions of little dust particles.

CMO_Lynch says:
::stops scanning the CNS::  CNS: OK.. your all set.  ::slaps him on the arm and notices some new faces::  CNS: Hmm... I wasn't advised of new staff in my department...
CEO_Lingn says:
Intruder: Identify yourself.
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Direct hit.
CTO_Jarot says:
::frowns at the new officer sitting himself at helm control::  Helm: And who might you be ?
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
<Figure> ::Continues to control the flight control.;:
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks over at the gentlemen as she sees navigation is unslaved from her console ::   Unidentified guy:  Excuse me...?
CMO_Lynch says:
::absentmindedly::  CNS: Yellow Alert.  ::steps away from the CNS toward some of the new faces::
CNS_Franklin says:
CMO: Oh, right... well, you didn't notice me for a while...
CEO_Lingn says:
::moves over to the helm console with phaser om hand::
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
<Figure> ::Turns and smiles at all the people on the bridge.::
OPS-Qui says:
FCO: Sir?  Who are you?
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: It is and I miss them dearly, but my wife understands being a former Executive Officer herself, why I must be out here. One last thing before we get back to work....I don't expect you or the crew to accept or trust me after that last mission, but I hope that you will at least afford me the chance too
CEO_Lingn says:
Figure: Get out of that chair, please and Identify yourself.
CTO_Jarot says:
::motions at the CEO to take it easy::  Helm: I must ask you to identify yourself or leave the bridge...
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
<Figure> ::Mouths words at the FCO but she can't hear him.::
CMO_Lynch says:
::approaches one::  New Face:  Pardon me... but can I see your transfer orders?
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
<Female figure> ::Looks at the CMO and her face seems that she is giggling.::
CEO_Lingn says:
::puts the phaser in it's holster on the belt and scans the figure with his Tricorder::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Tries to reslave navigation back to OPS ::   CTO: Sir!  I can't regain control of navigation
CSO_Singh says:
::Speaks honestly:: ACO: Sir, trust is something earned.  However, you will have no need to doubt us following our orders and doing what is needed.
CMO_Lynch says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Female Figure:  Something humorous ::looking at her collar::  Petty Officer.
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: My scans say nothing is there.
CNS_Franklin says:
::Looks confused and watches the CMO::
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: And...he said something to me, but I can't hear him!
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan turns to face the CSO:: CSO: I hope that I don't have the chance to earn that trust, I hope that Capt Savar will return beforehand. Shall we get back to work? ::Ewan smiles at her::

ACTION:  A gentleman in a red uniform enters the ready room and looks at the man behind the desk.

CSO_Singh says:
::Turns to look at the intruder.::
CMO_Lynch says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: Call Security for me will you?
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
<Female Figure> ::Winks at the cute doctor.::
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: He is not there on my tricorder.
CTO_Jarot says:
::stands from his chair::  Helm: Step away from this console this instant...   CEO: Remove him from his seat please...
CMO_Lynch says:
::turns back to the Female holding out a hand::  Female Figure: Transfer Orders please.
CNS_Franklin says:
CMO: Sure, doc... ::Turns around::  *Security*: Security, this is Counselor Franklin.  There's some strange crewmen down in Sickbay...
OPS-Qui says:
:: Still trying to re-route helm control back to her console ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Stands and steps towards the captain, putting herself between the two.::
CEO_Lingn says:
::goes up to the helm and tries to remove him::

ACTION:  The female figure in sickbay exits through the doors ignoring Lynch.

ACTION:  Lingn's hand goes through the figure.

TO_Johnson says:
*CNS*: Strange crewman... can you elaborate on that one ?  ::a bit confused on the comm call::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Watches the action from the corner of her eyes while still trying to reroute helm control ::
CEO_Lingn says:
::gaps in disbelief as his hand goes through the intruder::
CMO_Lynch says:
::still holding out his hand watching her leave::  CNS: You'd best come with me.  I think we have some escaped lunatics on our hands  ::darts through the doors after her::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Turns her head now as she doesn't believe what she just saw... ::
CEO_Lingn says:
::Moves back to the CTO::
CNS_Franklin says:
*Security*: Uh... it was a female, maybe 5' 7" or so.  Wearing a medical uniform and petty officer rank... she just left...
CEO_Lingn says:
OPS: Please move out the way.
CEO_Lingn says:
::takes out his phaser::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Stands and moves from her console ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::frowns as he sees the CEO grab through the person at helm control and taps his commbadge::  *ACO*: Jarot to MacPherson....  Captain, sorry to disturb you... but we've got a odd situation on the bridge that could use your judgment....
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:

CMO_Lynch says:
::standing in the corridor looking for the woman::
TO_Johnson says:
 *CNS*: Understood, follow her and we'll join you as soon as possible...  keep in contact..  ::grabs his phaser and heads out::
CMO_Lynch says:
Computer: Please identified the Petty Officer who just left Sickbay
CEO_Lingn says:
OPS: Grab a tricorder and scan, please
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~CTO:  Alec, there may be trouble.  Please come to the captains ready room.~~~~
Host FCO_LeadFoot says:
<Computer> CMO:  There was no Petty Officer in sickbay.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks around, moving quickly to the CSO station and finds a tricorder.  Begins taking scans ::
CEO_Lingn says:

OPS-Qui says:
:: Whispers to the CTO ::   CTO: Sir, I suggest a command lockout of codes on the bridge
CMO_Lynch says:
Computer: What?  Have you got your Isolinear Chips in a bind?  She just left, several people in Sickbay witnessed the event.
CTO_Jarot says:
