Episode 174 "Prelude to Invasion, Part 14: The Beginning of the End."  The Captain is over on the Vesuvius and he along with the Vesuvius' command crew will be heading for Axion's saucer.  Gopher is now properly encased in the Brig and will most likely be charged.   It would also seem that Singh has found a new room mate - now will it be for the short term?

CTO_Jarot says:
::enters the bridge and glances around, looking for the CSO::  CSO: You called ?  ::smiles::
Host CSO_Singh says:
:: On the bridge, trying very hard to sit still, as she waits... for anything.... he will do.  With a tired smile she turns around to see Alec.::  CTO:  Only in my mind.  Anything new on the captain?

ACTION: The Captain is about to head over to Axion's saucer, His communication badge is opened so the Luna can here everything.  Axion is very insistant that both Captains along with the command crew of the Vesuvius tag along.

CTO_Jarot says:
::shakes his head to the CSO and takes his station again::  CSO: I don't like this... why insist on all brass to attend ?
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  It would be a good set up to get rid of as many in command as possible.  At the same time, we have not really proven much of a match against them... unless there is something else they want from us ::sarcastically::  like our bodies, and not our deaths.

ACTION:  The distrust of Axion is evident in the voices of the Vesuvius crew.

ACTION:  The Vesuvius crew along with Capt Savar enter Axion's saucer

CTO_Jarot says:
::thinks::  CSO: Still, it remains an awfull risk...  ::sighs::

ACTION:  The shuttle bay doors open on the Vesuvius and Axion's saucer leaves.  Destination.....Earth

CSO_Singh says:
:: Unfolds her legs and slips off the large chair and walks over to him.::  CTO:  I know... but at the moment, it is not in our hands.  At least that part.  ::Sigh::  I want so much to do something... anything.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan is waiting patiently in the transporter room for the Engineer to arrive::
EO_Barbrady says:
::Stumbles into the transporter room::  CIV: I'm sorry, sir... one thing after another...
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
EO: There you are Barbrady, hurry up and get on here and let's go
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CSO: Aye...  ::initiates another sensor sweep and continues to monitor the CO's transmission::
EO_Barbrady says:
::Stumbles onto the padd, then looks embarassed about it::  CIV: Um... nothing to see here... let's move along.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
TR Chief: Once the EO gets on the pad, transport us over to the bridge of the Andorian ship
Host SO_Reams says:
CSO:  Ma'am.. the saucer is en route... It's....hmmmm heading to Earth.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
<TR Chief> CIV: Aye Sir, transporting now
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Commander... Axion's saucer has just left the Vesuvius and has set course for Earth.... we're currently tracking its movement...
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Earth?  :: Looks at Alec.::
Host SO_Reams says:
CSO:  Yes Ma'am...
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Have we heard from the captain yet?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: We are transporting over to the ship now

ACTION:  The CIV and EO are transported to the Andorian ship.  The air is dead barely breathable.  Life support minimal.   The equipment is broken... wires, chips hanging out...  support beams all over the place.

CTO_Jarot says:
::shakes his head::  CSO: Not yet...  maybe you should give a call ?
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Be careful.  As soon as you can, give me a general report of how it stands and what is needed.  We will do our best to get it all over to you.
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Coughs up a lung::  CIV: Just like home.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@EO: Check engineering and try to get the engines online if need be, I'll work in here
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  I wish he was a telepath and myself as well.  Go ahead and ask him for a status check.  That would not be out of the ordinary.
EO_Barbrady says:
@CIV: Aye.  ::Looks around slowly, trying to get his bearings towards Engineering... well, most people keep it in the back::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: Wehave made it over to the Andorian ship. Everything is a mess, lifesupport is minimal but will sustain us. The Engineer is going to check on the engines to see if they are operational. Then we'll see what we will need after
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Do you have any idea of how long it will take to get her up and running?  As things currently stand, you can have whoever is available at the moment for a rush job.

ACTION: Another support beam falls right in front of the EO.

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CSO: Aye
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Screams and jumps back.  He pulls out a tricorder::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: You wouldn't happen to have any ship builders from SF over there would you? ::Ewan laughs::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at the empty screen and down towards flight.::
CTO_Jarot says:
*CO*: Luna to Captain Savar....come in, please.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Only our trusty non-human ones.  I can send you all but four.  Though you are going to get some grumpy ones.
CO_Savar says:
#::Quietly taps his commbadge::  *CTO*: Commander?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: Send them over in about an hour
EO_Barbrady says:
@::After checking that no other beams are going to crash down... immediately, anyway... he begins picking through the rubble again::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan goes back to fiddling around with some gadgets::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Listening with some relief to her captains response.::~~~~CTO:  We have two options... take the ship and park her behind Earth's moon so we can keep a lock on the captain or send a shuttle for the same reason.  Any thoughts?~~~~
CTO_Jarot says:
*CO*: Apologies for the disruption, Sir... but we were waiting for your regular status update...
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  An hour?
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Then I would go for the first option...  best chance~~~~
CO_Savar says:
#*CTO*: Situation is still unchanged, Commander.  Please express to Commander Singh that her concern is noted.
CSO_Singh says:
::Gently snorts... she doesn't need her concern noted.  Steps down to flight.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: In an hour until I can get lifesupport up from minimal, I don't want to loose oxygen faster with six people over here ::goes back to locating the lifesupport controls::
CSO_Singh says:
* CIV*: I would like to take the ship behind Earth's moon to monitor the situation going on with the captain and others.
CTO_Jarot says:
*CO*: Will do... Luna out.  ::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Everything seems ok with the Captain...

ACTION:  The Saucer proceeds to Earth... making sure it stays out of the sensors of the limited military of the day.

CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Yea... any thoughts? Ideas?  Suggestions? :: Looks over at the view screen.::
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Enters engineering, and glances over the scene::
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Anything further to report?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: Do you what you must, but you need to be back in transporter range within the hour

ACTION:  Engineering is shambles.  Warp core barely functional.   Consoles a wreck.  It will take hours to get it working miminmally.

CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Alright... keep all communications on as tight of a beam as you can.  No need for anyone on Earth to pick up anything.
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Blows away some soot from a semi-functional console and runs a top-level diagnostic, then taps his commbadge::  *CIV*: Captain?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*EO*: You have a report for me Barbrady?
EO_Barbrady says:
@*CIV*: The emergency batteries and impulse generators are fine, but the core's going to take some work.  I'm going to reroute impulse power into the lifesupport system and try to clear the air a little.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan finds what looks like may be lifesupport systems and begins to work on them::
Host SO_Reams says:
SO: Hmmmm sorry ma'am, but no.  The saucer is still en route.  It's actually about to enter the atmosphere of Earth at that point I'll be able to pinpoint where they are going.
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Has to move to the lower deck, then opens his tool bag.  Pulling a power spanner from his bag, a welder, and spare energy conduit, he sets to work::
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  Take us closer to Earth, keep them from detecting us as you park us behind thier moon.
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Let the vesuvius know what we are up to.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*EO*: Good, I hope that the warp core is holding and not about to breach? I also found the lifesupport systems here and I'll work on them. So whatever you can do, maybe we can get some help over here. 
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan slides under the console::
EO_Barbrady says:
@*CIV*: Holding.  The backups are stable, we won't lose containment.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*EO*: Understood

ACTION: The FCO engages impulse engines after plotting a course to earth.  Slowly she heads in that direction.

EO_Barbrady says:
@::Welds the bridge into the power systems... the impulse generators don't put out anywhere as much energy as the warp engines, so there's no power reduction needed::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO and activates the comm array::  COM: Vesuvius: This is the U.S.S. Luna... be advised, we are moving the Luna to the far side of Earth to maintain a transporter lock and keep out of sight of Axion.
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Listens for the whoosh of the air vents::  *CIV*: Captain, anything up there?

ACTION:  The saucer enters earth's atmosphere.  It's heading for Mexico....specifically the Mayan ruins.

CSO_Singh says:
:: Slips back onto the captains chair and waits... and listens... and her fingers start to drum on the chair again.::
Host SO_Reams says:
<Ves_OPS> COM: Luna: This is the Vesuvius... understood.... but.... why?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*EO*: Nothing yet, I'm almost completed up here
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Fine.  Pulls himself out from under his position, and moves to the warp core to check if there is any reason he cannot restart the core::
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Finding nothing holding him back, he checks the injector assemblies, and the dilithium and chamber::
CTO_Jarot says:
COM: Vesuvius: Merely a precautionary measure... Luna out.  ::smiles at the CSO::
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  How do they do it?
Host SO_Reams says:
<Ves_OPS> ::Snorts...well how rude.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan finishes the weld, slides out from under the console and stands up::

ACTION: The Saucer lands while the Luna moves in behind the moon.  The crew and Axion get out of the saucer and look around the ruins.

CTO_Jarot says:
::looks up at the CSO::  CSO: Do what ?
EO_Barbrady says:
@Computer: Computer, level 2 diagnostic on the warp core.  Results verbally.

ACTION: Sensors light up on the Luna.  There is a tetrahedron nearby.

CSO_Singh says:
:: Waves her hand around the room.::  CTO:  Make decisions that could change... whatever.  And then just sit and wait.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::After standing up, Ewan moves over to the console top and begins to try and bring full lifesupport online::

ACTION: Several of the Luna crew look out in awe, they have never seen the moon without a settlement on it.   It's barren... beautiful in most eyes.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Rushes from her quarters and enters a turbolift ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Sensing a slight change in the atmosphere, turns to look at the crew, then notes what they are looking at.  Smiles and turns back toward Alec.::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Listens to sciences report.::  CTO:  I would prefer the tetra not notice us.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  Keep us from any observations if possible from that tetra.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Having ordered the turbolift to the bridge, steps out as the lift doors open ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Glances over at Kehari and smiles.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO::  CSO: If we minimise our powersignature and get out of their sight we should be ok...
OPS-Qui says:
:: Moves to the OPS console and relieves the officer there ::
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Do we still have a transporter lock on the captain?
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Gets to work on the engine core, checking the cracks to see which need to be replaced with new parts and which will just require sealant.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the viewscreen and whispers to self ::   Self: WOW...!

ACTION: Axion moves towards on of the stone alters hoping Captain McGrady follows with the gems.  He motions for Captain Savar to follow.

CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*EO*: I think that I have gotten us better lifesupport, so I think we need to recall the Luna back sooner than I thought it would take to get better lifesupport
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  Anything from Earth's communication?
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO::  CSO: Transporter lock in tact
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Any idea yet why they are going to Earth and where?
CSO_Singh says:
CTO: Good.
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: Just the usual tv and radio signals at this time, ma'am
EO_Barbrady says:
@::Yeah... HE got life support back::  *CIV*: One moment.  I'm verifying a list of parts we'll need from the Luna.
Host SO_Reams says:
CSO: They are in Mexico ma'am... they have disembarked in a group of Mayan ruins.
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  The Mayan ruins?  Which ones?
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  Nothing on us or the other aliens?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: We need you back a little sooner than expected
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: No ma'am
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  All right... the team is ready.  We will be back shortly.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  Take us back to drop off the repair team, then back here.
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  I need a report on the mayan city they are at.
Host SO_Reams says:
CSO:  Yes Ma'am, I'm getting it for you...
Host SO_Reams says:
CSO:  They have moved now... the saucer has landed at Machu Picchu
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: Good, but I still don't see why we need to bring back those alien babies
