Episode 175 "Prelude to Invasion, Part 15."  The Luna continues it's surveillance behind the moon even though the sight is breath taking with no settlements on her, work needs to be done.   The CIV and an engineer are aboard the Andorian freighter getting her ready for timewarp and possibe nursery duty.

OPS-Qui says:
:: On the bridge at her console monitoring Earth communications, and keeping a close eye on Captain Savar's bio signature ::
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: in the turbolift heading to the bridge ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Sitting crosslegged in the captains chair, tapping her fingers on the arm rest... watching.::
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: arrives at the bridge and presents himself to officer in charge ::  CSO: Ensign Panovsis reporting for duty.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears the new FCO reporting in to cover for the last, lost one ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Turns to the ensign.::  FCO:  Welcome to Alpha shift.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::on the bridge of the Andorian ship over-seeing the engineering crew work on her::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::and in the meantime he finishes the work that he begun a few minutes ago::
FCO_Panovsis says:
CSO: Thank you sir.  :: takes his station ::
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  Anything at all we should be aware of?  This waiting is wearing on my nerves.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Tilts her head a moment listening to her earpiece ::   CSO: No...just the normal radio traffic on Earth.

ACTION:  The flight console is a bit of a mess even though repairs have been made.  The paremeters of the console may not be to the new FCO's liking.

CSO_Singh says:
OPS/FCO:  Any idea why they are going to Machu pichu?  Besides the view...
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: picks at singed corners on the console ::
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: I've an energy reading that the saucer they are in are following.  Other than that, no clue....
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan confers to a blueprint of the Andorian ship to help him solve a tiny problem::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Glances over to the FCO ::   FCO: Welcome.  Your console is a bit of a mess ... sorry.   :: Grins ::
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  And no idea what that energy reading is?  Or is that the crystal they are going after?
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: looks over ::  OPS: When we get back we have to repaint everything.
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: checking out the displays ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Smiles ::   FCO: You can if you wish.  I'll let the repair crews handle all that
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::chatters to himself:: I hope this bucket of bolts work, I want to get out of this time and get back to our own time

ACTION:  Suddenly the console behind the Captain explodes.

OPS-Qui says:
FCO: I'm Kehari Qui, your Operations Officer.  You haven't worked Alpha shift before?
FCO_Panovsis says:
OPS: Nope.  First time since I graduated.
FCO_Panovsis says:
Qui: How long have you been on Alpha?
OPS-Qui says:
FCO: Then welcome to the bridge.  I hope you have better luck than the last guy that sat there!   :: Grins ::
OPS-Qui says:
FCO: Far too long....since I was assigned to the Luna.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan is thrown to the floor from the blast as crews go and try to put out the fire::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Suddenly jumps down from the chair and heads over to science, looking for something to do.::
Eng_Bartoli says:
@::runs over:: CIV: Sir are you all right? ::while he helps Ewan to his feet::

ACTION:  The senors pick up activity in the area where the saucer landed.  A curious thing happens... the two Capts and Axion move away from the group.

ACTION:  Suddenly the Luna begins to loose orbit.

CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::with the help of the young Engineer, Ewan brushes himself off:: ENG: I'm fine Bartoli, just a little woozy
CSO_Singh says:
:: Watches as the captain moves away from the group and frowns.::  OK my captain... what is going on now....
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: The Captain's bio sign is moving away from the Vesuvius crew...his and Captain McGrady are alone with Axion
FCO_Panovsis says:
CSO:  Sir!  I'm reading a drop in altitude.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks behind her.::  FCO:  Correct.  Do you know why?
Eng_Bartoli says:
@CIV: Shall I call Sickbay sir?
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  Keep a close eye on them as well as an ear.
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: checks thrusters and flight operations for any anomalies ::
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: Aye ma'am
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::still brushing himself off:: ENG: It won't be necessary Bartoli, I'm fine....really, but now we're going to be even further behind. We'll never get this idiotic ship flying again if this keeps up.
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: looks back :: CSO: It seems ours engines aren't working at 100%.  It will take a few moments to correct the altitude loss.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Listens to the conversation the two Captain's are having with Axiom ::
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  What does that mean, not working at 100%?  Besides the obvious that is.
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: lays in a few commands to correct for the altitude loss ::

ACTION: Slowly the Luna begins to correct herself.

CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: I have some bad news Commander
FCO_Panovsis says:
CSO: Engineering was reporting they're still having problems.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Thinks that Commander Jarek will not be happy at the moment with his engines ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@ENG: Bartoli: How long will it take to replace that console?
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  I hope that does not mean a problem getting out of here at a moments notice.
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: sees his course correction has made a difference :: CSO: We're moving back to a nominal orbit, sir.
Eng_Bartoli says:
@CIV: I'd say roughly two hours Sir.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: Cmdr. Singh?
FCO_Panovsis says:
CSO: I'm no engineer but I think it's safe to say if we're having difficulties now, it will probably rear it's head when we need to move.  Murphy's law sir.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Singh here....
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: I have some very bad new for you
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Please captain... if you are going to give me bad news, follow it with some good news.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks over to the FCO ::   FCO: I know Commander Jarek's crews have been working day and night on our engines.  I don't think he'll be pleased to hear that.
FCO_Panovsis says:
OPS: Well, from what I'm seeing maybe they didn't do that great of a job.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::   FCO: Don't let Commander Jarek hear you say that!    :: Gives the new guy a wink ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: We are now going to be an additional two hours behind the already one hour currently. A console blew-up and now we have to try and rig it or perhaps replicate one
FCO_Panovsis says:
OPS: Hey, I call them as I see them.  :: goes back to monitoring the flight control systems for any other failures ::
TO_Brady says:
::Excitedly::  CSO:  They are back.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at tactical::  *CIV*: Is it critical?
OPS-Qui says:
FCO: I'm just giving you some friendly advise, Ensign.  You're new to Alpha shift.  Commander Jarek is...um...a perfectionist.  He'll not take kindly to your statement regarding his engines
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: It looks to be a navigational console or perhaps operations
CSO_Singh says:
::Stands up to join the tactical officer and smiles as he points to the internal sensors.::
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: looking at an annoying blip on his screen :: OPS: See?  :: points at his console :: The engines are not generating enough juice.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Navigational we need.  Can operations be transfered elsewhere?  As well as navigational if that is it?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Stands and looks over the flight console ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: I can try Commander, I'm a intelligence operative, not a miracle worker
FCO_Panovsis says:
OPS: Can you reroute power to the stabilizers?  Junction J14 is not stabile whatsoever.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at Kehari::  OPS:  Looks like you have some work ahead of you.  Many of our missing crew have suddenly appeared in engineering.  Inform medical to do physicals and see that they have what they need.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Quickly accesses the situation and then taps her badge ::   *Engineering*:   You folks reading the drop in power to engines down there?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the CSO ::  CSO: Really?  Yes, ma'am...I'll get to it.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Put those engineers to work for you.  Keep me updated.  We have many of our crew, back, which is good.... hopefully it means we will be leaving soon.
EO_Mixer says:
*OPS*: We're just a bit busy down here, Lieutenant.  But yes, we see it and are working on it.
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  As soon as you can get a crew manifest completed, let me know how many are unaccounted for.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the FCO ::   FCO: They're working on it     :: Shrugs ::
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: makes another course correction to adjust for another altitude drop ::
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  How are you doing on your end?  Will this problem hinder us?  Do we need to reclaim some engineers from the Andorian freighter?
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: Permission to contact the returned crew personally, ma'am?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: Already done, they're working on it as we speak. Quest out
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  Please do.
FCO_Panovsis says:
CSO: I can handle it if the engines are there.  Our engineers say they're working on the problem.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Nods and motions for Sanchez to take over the operations console ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Enters the turbolift ::   Turbolift:  Engineering
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  What time frame are the engineers looking at?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the lift speed off ::
FCO_Panovsis says:
*Engineering* How long until these engine problems are fixed?
EO_Beener says:
*FCO* Several hours, at least.
FCO_Panovsis says:
:: looks over to see if the CSO heard that ::

ACTION:  An engineer from the Ves crew comes aboard the freighter.  In his hands is food and a hot drink for Capt MacPherson-Quest.

CSO_Singh says:
:: nods at Panovsis::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow then stop.  Exits as the doors open ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan takes the food and drink and nods at the Engineer and goes back to work::
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  I do not think we have several hours.  Ask engineering if they need some of their people back.  I want those engines back to par immedately.  Or they are getting out to push.
FCO_Panovsis says:
*Beener* We don't have hours.  Do you need some of the engineering team back to pitch in?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Enters Engineering and sees many people mulling around. ::   ALL: Okay everyone!  Line up please!  I need to get your name, serial number, and department!
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees a guy from medical come in with a tricorder.  Nods and asks him to stand next to her for his preliminary examinations ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Grabs a PADD from a nearby console and checks to see it empty. ::   Self :  Good
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: Commander?
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Yes?
