MO_Lynch says:
::sits quietly beside the CMO::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks around the room::
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: what did you think about that.
MO_Lynch says:
::scratches his head::  CMO: I'm sort of dumbfounded by all of this.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::just sits and thinks::
MO_Lynch says:
::looks around the room trying to gauge the expressions on everyone's face::
Host CO_Savar says:
:: Glances around the table ::  All: Anything else to discuss?
CMO_McDonald says:
CO: I'm just not sure what to make of what the admiral told us.
MO_Lynch says:
::looking around the table again hearing the Captain's question::
Host CO_Savar says:
CMO: How so?
MO_Lynch says:
::waiting to see what the Doctor's response will be::
CMO_McDonald says:
CO: I don't know I just get a feeling we're not being told the whole truth.
MO_Lynch says:
CO: Captain do you think this is some form of recon force?  You know move in to test the waters of a possible expansion opportunity?
MO_Lynch says:
::nods at the CMO having had the same feeling wondering if Blake will suddenly disappear when he's turned over for questioning::
Host CO_Savar says:
CMO: It may be that we are not.  I cannot say for certain that I understand completely what has occurred, but there may be aspects that we cannot be informed of.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
ALL: I never really had time for heroes, they one way or another end up to be disappointing
CMO_McDonald says:
CO: I just get a sense the admiral is hiding something. But nothing more concrete than that.
Host CO_Savar says:
MO: If it is, I do not feel we are the appropriate team to deal with them.
MO_Lynch says:
::turns to the CIV::  CIV: Heroes Captain?  Do you consider Lieutenant Blake a hero?  Err... sir?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
MO: I don't doctor, but other misguided Star Fleet officers do
MO_Lynch says:
::feels relieved at the CIV's response::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
MO: If anyone in my eyes are heroes, it is the crew that I serve with here on the Luna and my father.
Host CO_Savar says:
All: If there is nothing else, I will leave you to your leave.  CMO: Commander, as the next highest ranking officer, I'd like you to oversee the leave schedules for the time being.  Disseminate the information we discussed.
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Captain, could you stay a moment?
CMO_McDonald says:
CO: aye sir..
MO_Lynch says:
::agreeing with Captain MacPherson-Quest he turns to the CO::  CO: One more thing Captain, am I correct to assume Starfleet considers it a possibility that the Ambassador may have been involved?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Sure I have time; I don't have to meet with my SFI superiors for another 10 minutes.
Host CO_Savar says:
MO: She was at the scene, but has no memory of events.  She may be a suspect, but I do not know if it is realistic to assume she is responsible for this.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: grabs a PADD ::
MO_Lynch says:
CO: Captain.... the fear in Blake's eyes when he saw Lenore is still burned into my memory.  There is more there than meets the eye
MO_Lynch says:
CO: He was a little distracted ever since she came out of the Cloning Vat
CMO_McDonald says:
CO: almost as if we interrupted something.
Host CO_Savar says:
All: We should not jump to conclusions regarding the Ambassador.
MO_Lynch says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir.  I apologize for my outbreak.
CMO_McDonald says:
ALL: well if you all want come see me outside in the promenade for your leave schedules.
MO_Lynch says:
::turns to the CMO::  CMO: By you a drink sir?  ::stands::
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: I would like that thank you. :: stands up and gives the CO a sort of half salute.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods to the doctors as they leave::
Host OPS_Creedle says:
*CO*: Creedle to Savar
MO_Lynch says:
::nods in the direction of the CO and steps out of the room::
Host CO_Savar says:
*OPS*: Yes?
MO_Lynch says:
::having left he turns to McDonald::  CMO: Forgive me for this sir... but do you feel the Captain may know more than he's letting on?
Host OPS_Creedle says:
*CO*: The engineering team from the base led by Commander Anna Gilson is asking permission to board
Host CO_Savar says:
*OPS*: Allow them full access when engineering has reported we are at rest state.
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: I think the captain does know more than he's letting on. I can't sense him hiding much. He us Vulcan
Host OPS_Creedle says:
*CO*: Acknowledged. Creedle out!
Host CO_Savar says:
::Now that everyone else has left, he looks at the CIV::  CIV: Those weren't Starfleet Intelligence officers, were they?
MO_Lynch says:
MO: Between them and Cardassians huh?  ::Steps into the TL::  CMO: Luna Mess or Starbase Mess?
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: Luna Mess.
MO_Lynch says:
TL: Officer's Mess

ACTION: The lift obediently goes down

MO_Lynch says:
CMO: Do you think we'll ever find out the truth?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I don't know about the others, but I've heard about Blake
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: I doubt it.
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Is it Starfleet Intelligence's normal operations to completely ignore Starfleet regulation and Federation law?
MO_Lynch says:
::feels the lift come to a stop and steps out::  CMO: So Doctor...  How long have you been in charge of Luna's Sickbay?

ACTION: As the TL doors open and the medics exit they can see a group of engineers entering. The leader is a young female commander

CMO_McDonald says:
:: nods to the commander as they pass ::
MO_Lynch says:
::turns to watch the engineers::  CMO: Who were they?

ACTION: The commander professionally nods back and is quickly hidden behind the closing doors

CMO_McDonald says:
MO: I'm not sure. :: turns back to see if he can get a glance ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Only if they go rogue and are out to make personal gain, only that other highly secretive organization, I don't care to mention, ignores all protocols set-up by SFC
MO_Lynch says:
::grabs the TL door so it won't close::
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: what did you do that for?
MO_Lynch says:
::smiles a big 'How do you do?' smile::  Gilson: Now what is a pretty lady like you doing on a ship like this?
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Then it is likely those Akira class vessels were not under SFI's command
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::the human frowns at Lynch:: MO: I am here to inspect your bridge consoles.... hmm... doctor
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: Now now. Weren’t we going for food, and it’s impolite to flirt while on duty!
MO_Lynch says:
::raises an eyebrow at the snarky Commander and continues to smile::  Gilson: Well let me show you the way.  ::steps back into the TL::

ACTION: Among the group of 10 engineers in the lift there is some whispering and giggling

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: No, I don't think that they would do something like that. We're here to protect the Federation and its citizens, though we do go a little overboard at times to do so.
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO: Very well, though I could find my own way. I memorized the specs CMO: Are you joining us too?
MO_Lynch says:
::motions for the CMO to step back in quickly before the doors close::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: steps back inside ::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods::  CIV: I wanted to also ask you another question, if you have time...
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
Computer: Deck One

ACTION: The Turbolift moves as ordered

MO_Lynch says:
Gilson: A little cramped in here isn't it?  ::places a hand around her Engineering kit::  Gibson: Want me to carry this for you?
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO: Yes...and no, I am picky with who touches my tools ::her mouth doesn't move but her eyes kinda flirt::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: No, I still have time
MO_Lynch says:
::smiles::  Gilson: Well then...  as a doctor I'll have you know that I'm very good with handling people's tools  ::winks::
Host CO_Savar says:
:: Leans forward::  CIV: I'm not sure I've ever been clear on your purpose aboard my vessel....
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO: You just have to prove that, won't you? ::exits the lift and immediatly her crew takes some of the consoles for inspection::
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO/CMO: I'll take care of the Captain's chair. One can never be too carefull, that side arm can control half the ship
MO_Lynch says:
::glances at the CMO then back out onto the bridge::  CMO: I don't know if I should love her or hate her for the elusiveness.  ::steps onto the bridge::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: steps onto the bridge : Cmdr. as ranking officer that is assigned to the luna I think I should take centre chair. you've got enough on your plate
MO_Lynch says:
::steps up beside Gilson again::  Gilson: I've never seen any of your crew before.  You from Starbase 917?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I can sum that up in one word.....classified.
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::frowns:: CMO: I don’t want to sit in it, just run a diagnostics ::moves to the center::
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: I suspected as much.
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO: No, I just arrived from Utopia Planitia. I was working on the prototypes there but they though I should inspect ships after they were sent to space ::shrugs::
MO_Lynch says:
Gilson: Well I'd hate to be a stickler for protocol but may I see your orders please?  ::holding out a hand and smiling like a Cheshire Cat::
CMO_McDonald says:
Gibson: Go ahead and run it.
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::kneels down and opens the chair’s side arm to scan inside::
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::stops what she is doing and looks up at the CMO looking suspicious. Then gets a PADD from her back pocket and delivers it to the CMO:: CMO: My orders ::proceeds with her work::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: Grabs the PADD and looks over the orders, then hands them to the MO ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: You can ask other ship Captain's, but they'll only tell you what I told them when asked. I was once in your shoes when I captained the Artemis, but I learned to live with the SFI operative onboard. Eventually SFI Command will tell you why, in a few years or so.
MO_Lynch says:
::takes the PADD and briefly skims it too::
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: if you want to take leave go secure sickbay and take stock of anything we may need and send a request to the station OPS
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::changes a small chip inside the sidearm and closes the chair again:: CMO/MO: I am ready to proceed to the main computer core
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: It's not every ship that gets a Starfleet Intelligence Captain aboard.  I suppose I should consider myself lucky and move on.  ::Was that sarcasm?::  Thank you, Captain, I won't take up any more of your time.
MO_Lynch says:
::feels that request was an order and does as the CMO says::
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::holds her hand waiting for the MO to give her the orders back::
CMO_McDonald says:
MO: If you would be so kind as to escort the lovely commander to the core..
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks down at his chronometer:: CO: If you'll excuse me, those same cronies want to see me.
MO_Lynch says:
::stops seeing the Cmdr's hand and realize he didn't get away with the PADD hands it back::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: And....I'll take that as a compliment. :: he smiles and gets up from the table::
MO_Lynch says:
CMO: Yes sir.  ::motions to the TL Doors::  Gilson: This way ma'am.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: grabs a seat in the centre chair ::
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::takes the PADD back brushing on the MO's fingers at it and puts it back in her back pocket::
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::follows Lynch back to the TL::
MO_Lynch says:
::feeling her fingers on his he smiles and places a gentle hand on the middle of her back while he guides her to the TL::
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
::doesn't seem to react to the MO's hand and steps into the TL facing the door::
MO_Lynch says:
TL: Main Computer Core  ::mumbles::  Self: Wherever the hell that may be.

ACTION: TL does as ordered

Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO: So you like strolling around your ship?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan leaves the room heading for the airlock to meet with Capt. Craig of SFI Command::
MO_Lynch says:
Gilson: I know this great place in the back of the Arboretum where they have a beautiful display of Bajoran Roses.
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO: Does it have important engineering conduits passing by it? ::brings up another PADD from her kit::
MO_Lynch says:
::scratches his head then smiles::  Gilson: Only one way to find out.
Host Cmdr_Gilson says:
MO: Conduit 47 alpha is right there. Brings power to the deflector dish. Very important. Perhaps I can inspect it now? ::looks very serious::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan finds Capt. Craig already waiting for him at the airlock:: Craig: William, it sure is good to see you, but I thought we're going to meet on the Promenade?
