CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::begins talking to the small expanse of his office::  Self: Ok.... Back to work 
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::sits daydreaming at his console::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::stunned look:: CSO: yes sir.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She rolls her eyes as she notices Castillo entering the bridge:: OPS: It took you long enough to arrive Lieutenant...it would be smart to arrive to your duty shift on time, rather then passing out in the mess hall in a drunken stupor...::She stands briskly and moves to the back of the bridge::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::walks out of the door into main engineering::
CO_Starks says:
:: walks onto bridge ::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CSO: has Mr. Zimmerman been contacted?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks over to the EO::  EO: Status Report Mr. Zimmerman?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain, you have the bridge.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::laughs at the CIV's comment::
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::He walks up to the door of the CEO as he enters and nearly collides into him:: CEO: Sir...Lieutenant Breghorn has requested your presence on the bridge sir.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
OPS: That's a negative, Castillo.  Please inform him of his assignment.
CO_Starks says:
ALL: report
EO_MCPO_Zimmerman says:
::looks over to the CEO and sees him almost run into Hansen::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::gets wits back
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
Civ: Yes Mr. Keindar I am well aware of my responsibilities and am happy to oblige unlike some on board.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain, I've ordered Castillo to lead an away team of the CMO and EO to investigate the death.
CMO_Releben says:
::enters onto the Bridge::  CSO: Reporting as ordered sir....
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
Self: I wonder what happened over there.
CO_Starks says:

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Report to LT Castillo, doctor.
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Ens_Frost: Has the fleet dropped to impulse?

CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Aye.  ::looks to Castillo and waits::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:

OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CSO: Where is the murder case happening?
EO_MCPO_Zimmerman says:
CEO: Permission to go off duty sir?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
OPS: The freighter Polynesian.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:

CO_Starks says:
FCO_Ens_Frost: bring us alone side the Polynesian
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CMO: ok doc we'll pick up Mr. Zimmerman and beam over before the trail gets cold.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CO: Aye sir.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::climbs ladder to upper engineering, exits into the corridor and towards the bridge::
CMO_Releben says:

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
OPS: If you feel you need some tactical support, feel free to bring over some crewmen.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::plots course parallel to the Polynesian::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
OPS: I won't, and you are quite aware of it...::Unlike tradition, she refuses to curtsy in response and picks up her PADD and begins inputting data into a display console on the back situation display table::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CSO: who else can we spare?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::enters bridge and heads over to the Commander::  CO: Reporting as ordered Commander
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
OPS:  Feel free to utilize two enlisted tactical personnel.
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::After the CEO leaves he lets out a sigh of relief and goes to the primary console opposite the warp core and begins to run several routine diagnostics scheduled for the day::
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CO: Sir we are standing fast at warp four, directly parallel of the Polynesian.
CO_Starks says:
CEO_LtJG_Irvin: station
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::heads to an unoccupied station and looks up the roster::
CO_Starks says:
OPS" Is your team ready?

CO_Starks says:
OPS_Lt_Castillo: then lets get this over with.
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
*CEO*: Understood sir...::He sits at the display console and begins to key in several commands. ::He taps his comm badge as the transfer completes. *CEO*: You now have full operating control sir...
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CO: Doc, Ens. Carter, and myself all arms with standard phasers.
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Lt_Castillo: and don't fool around over there we don't want to hold up the fleet too long over this
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CO: I never do when it comes to murder.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::watches as the console flickers to life::  *HANSEN* Acknowledged.....   
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CO: permission to beam out, sir.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CO: If you want the job done right, don't send such a bumbling idiot then...::She says it flatly and without emotion::
CO_Starks says:
CSO_LT_Brehgorn: Hail the fleet inform them of the situation and that we will be going to impulse for the duration of the away mission
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Lt_Castillo: granted
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::hails the fleet instructing them to slow to impulse power until further notice::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_Lt_Keindar: care to see how he handles this BEFORE passing judgment?
CMO_Releben says:
::whistles idly while waiting for the others::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::smiling at the CIV:: Civ: I love you too Lt. keep the seat warm I’ll be back. ::walks into the TL::
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::Ones the control has been transferred over he returns his attention to the display before him and checks on the status of the diagnostic of the ventral plasma vents...::
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Ens_Frost: when the fleet responds drop us out of warp, continue on course at full impulse
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CMO: Doc you're with me shall we?
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CO: Aye sir.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CO: The Lieutenant has yet to prove any useful skills he can attribute to the away team, Commander...::She stresses his rank::...frankly, he is unprepared for the assignment.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::blowing a kiss and a wink to Keindar::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::monitors power flow and ship's systems::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::Bluntly:: CO: Pick someone else...
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV: LT Castillo was my choice.  If you have a quarrel, I'd be happy to be the one to ignore you.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks over to the CIV with a questioning and concerned look::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_Lt_Keindar: then this is his big chance to break out and impress us
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: Your opinions fall on deaf ears Mr. Braghorg, your opinion is of little concern to me, regardless of your pathetic status as second officer...
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::headed to Transporter room with CMO::
CO_Starks says:
*OPS* your clear for beam out, away team
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::remembers what happened in his office and decides not to draw attention to himself looking back to his station::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV: I assure you, Mr., that the feeling is mutual...at least we have something in common.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::finally arrives at the TR and quickly climbs on board the disc ready to beam with his small away team::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: Anything in common with you, primitive Angosian...or whatever you are...I am quite sure is mere coincidence...to think that I am similar to you in any fashion is contemptible.
CO_Starks says:
CIV_Lt_Keindar:...and YOUR opinions mean little to me Lt. (stresses rank) but I listen anyway.
CMO_Releben says:
OPS: What do we expect to find Lt?
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CMO: the murderer, the cause, and the motive.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::finds it ironic that someone who calls him primitive can't distinguish between relatively common Starfleet races::
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ ::still in the cargo bay of the Polynesian:: COM: Pharaoh: You folks here me??  *Bridge* our COMs damaged?
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CO: You listen because you have to, or my brass will ring your neck. I on the other hand have no such obligation...I advise you focus on the mission, and allow me to focus on making your laughing stock of a crew more...efficient.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
<Poly_OPS> *Jackson* Working find Skipper...
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::glares at Lt Kiendar::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
COM: Polynesian:  We hear you.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::TO Carter arrives and the away team is ready to beam over with phasers::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_Lt_Keindar: ::not looking at her:: Lt. get back to work...what ever that is. And if you continue to disturb my bridge crew OR tell me what I *have* to do. I'll have you removed from my bridge. This conversation IS over
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::As the results from his test come back he begins to work on minor modifications on the EPS taps. Not satisfied with the results he picks up an engineering kit and heads to one of the few jefferies tubes to manually adjust the system::
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Ens_Frost: status of the fleet?
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ COM:  Pharaoh:  You coming over then? ::sighs:: I need SOMEONE to clean up the mess.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
ACTION: The Fleet slows to impulse as per orders.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
*OPS* Beam over immediately, Castillo.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CO: It will be over when I say it is. You know removing me from the bridge would be pointless at this point in time...::She turns her back to him and begins keying in several commands into the console panel she is standing beside::
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CO: The fleet has dropped from warp sir, as have we.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
*CSO* beaming over now sir.
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Ens_Frost: very good. maintain impulse power and keep us within 100 meters of the Polynesian
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
COM: Polynesian:  Our AT is beaming over as we speak.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CO: Course, impulse power, still directly parallel to the Polynesian.
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::As he crawls into the access corridor of the j-tube network he taps his comm badge and pulls out a tricorder, running scans:: *CEO*: Ensign Hansen to Lieutenant Irvin.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::materializes on the Polynesian with his away team::
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::materializes on the Poly::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::taps com badge::  *EO* Go ahead Hansen.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh is receiving hails from the Lakota, Yukon, and Zavada... in essence asking "WHAT IS GOING ON?"
CMO_Releben says:
@  OPS:  Any idea where we are headed Lt?
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::He looks at the display on his tricorder in annoyance:: *CEO*: Sir, I've noticed an minor discrepancy in the starboard EPS taps sir. I am currently attempting to locate and compensate for the fluctuation.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@::sees the 4 arrive:: OPS/CMO: That's it... 2 crew ???
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::replies to the fleet that we are at impulse due to an investigation::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::TO carter materializes as well::
CO_Starks says:
CSO_LT_Brehgorn: clear up that COMM traffic
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks back to console and taps out some readings onto the screen::  *Hansen* Stand By Ensign
EO_Fuz says:
@ ::Stands idly, minding his business::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@:: steps off the transporter:: Hello Captain where is the murder scene?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::reads readout::  *Hansen* Standby Daniel... I'll be right down.  CO: Permission to leave the bridge Commander?
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::eyes the Captain doubtfully::  Self: Apparently math is optional at their academy......
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ ::sighs:: OPS: Follow me....
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::He rests against the wall of the jefferies tubes and sighs:: *CEO*: Understood sir, I await your arrival. Ensign Hansen out.
CO_Starks says:
CSO_LT_Brehgorn: you have the CONN I'll be in my ready room on the horn to the fleet leads. They obviously don't like the hold up.
CMO_Releben says:
@  ::follows along::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::following the captain noticing her impatience::
CO_Starks says:
CEO_LtJG_Irvin: granted
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ :: as she moves down the corridor she explains:: OPS: We found him in his quarters.. .the door locked... we had to break it open to find him
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Understood, sir.  ::takes the CONN::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::releases command control back to main engineering and exits::
CO_Starks says:
CSO_LT_Brehgorn: Make sure the AT isn't any longer then they have to be
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: I want all transporter logs from the time he got off his shift to the time he was found.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::enters Upper Engineering and slides down the ladder, then approaches the Ensign::  Hansen: Report
CO_Starks says:
:: leaves bridge for ready room ::
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ ::chuckles:: OPS: We don't have any transporters.. .not even cargo transporters
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: I see.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::frowns but not discouraged::
EO_Fuz says:
@ ::listens intently while following::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: I'm transferring transporter controls to your station.  I hate to give you double duty, but since we're at impulse, keep a lock on the away team.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ OPS: We... Ummmm suspect fowl play.... the dagger in his lower back sort of convinced us of that
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@ Captain: who was the victim?
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Aye aye Lt, no problem.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::taps away at  console::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
Out loud: Another stupid mistake on the part of our "illustrious" leader...::She stands and paces once around the Commander's chair and gazes at Breghorn:: There must be more qualified officers to take over for him...like Commander Riggs...::She has an evil smile on::...he makes a fine officer...
CMO_Releben says:
@  Self: Puncture wound.... messy.....
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@ Captain: I see death by dagger in the back ... fascinating.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ OPS: His name is Lewis.. Ummm.. Lewis Simons
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV: Yes, thank you, Mr.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: crewmate or just a passerby?
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ OPS: His wife and.... Ummm.. His wife and.... "new friend" are detained... until someone questions them
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks around for Hansen seeing that he is not visible::
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ OPS: He was one of my Engineers
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: We are currently at impulse power, right beside the Polynesian, at this rate we should make our destination in about, :: counts on fingers::  five light years.  ::lets out a grin::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::sees the hatch to a jefferies tube open::  ::walks over::  Hansen: Daniel?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: At ease, Ensign.  This investigation won't hold us up too long.  Castillo is a capable officer.
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::Still in the jefferies tubes he waits for the arrival of Irvin impatiently and is tempted to go out into Main Engineering to check for him::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: my condolences on your loss captain. Where was his wife and "new friend" when you found him dead?
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Just trying to ease tension LT.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ ::arrives at the crime scene where a person is standing guard::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: ...or so you have been lead to believe. Explain to me why then has the Lieutenant been out of regular service for such a prolonged period of time?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Appreciated, of course.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::climbs into the jefferies tube to find Hansen::
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ Smith: Anyone go in...
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::smiles at the CSO::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV: I believe I recall you saying my opinions were of no value to you, Mr.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
<Smith> ::shakes head:: No skipper.... We never touched a thing
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: I did...and you just proved my point. You believe he is incompetent...he is not - proving the error in your belief system.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::looking at the AT:: AT: Gentlemen, prepare to do your best looking over.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@OPS: They claim they were with each other.... This is ... This is something I knew about for a while.... small ship you know... most of the crew probably knew already about her... "friend"
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::crawls along and hits com badge::  *Hansen* Where are you Hansen?  I'm in Jefferies Tube...  ::looks at the label plate::  *Hansen* 2B..  Where are you?
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: who was this "friend" and where is the dagger?
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::He hears the name 2B and smiles. He crawls back a little to an access terminal and sees Eli down the junction:: CEO: Just down here sir...
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@::points to the body:: OPS: The dagger is there....
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::taps on console with one hand, bounces a rubber ball of the deck with the other::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV: Actually, Mr., I said that Castillo was capable...if I'm correct, capable is not a synonym for incompetent...of course...I could be mistaken.
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::removes his med tricorder and scans for residual DNA on the weapon::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::leaning to see the wound up close:: CMO: your best opinion?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::sees the EO smiling::  Hansen: You think your pretty funny don't ya....
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
Self, wouldn't be the first time Lt.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::crawls over::
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ OPS: Mrs. Simons... Ummm.. first name.. Cathy... and her friend is Mike Wilson... they are in a storage locker at the moment
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: You often are, however I must admit that was a slip of the tongue.
CO_Starks says:
*CSO* I'm stuck in a conference grip session with the colonist leads, not my idea of fun. But don't interrupt unless there's an emergency
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: any reports of these two being more than just friends on this ship?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
*CO* Understood, sir.
CMO_Releben says:
@ OPS: Besides the obvious?  Judging from the angle the blade went in....  ::steps back and paces it off::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
*CO*: On something this dull, I am sure the departure of your Chief Tactical Officer was the most exciting event since my arrival...
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
*OPS* Castillo, I want a status report in no more than 10 minutes, Castillo.
CMO_Releben says:
@ OPS: It would appear as if the attacker was below the victim.....
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::reaches Hansen::  Hansen:  What's up?
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::drops ball and it rolls toward the CSO::
CO_Starks says:
*CIV* of that, I have no doubt. Starks out
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::stands and runs after it::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@*CSO* Sir, we're looking at the crime scene now and the body? It looks simple so far should have an answer for you soon.
CMO_Releben says:
@ OPS: However, the angle is too severe.....  it almost appears as if he laid  down on top of the dagger.....
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::He hands over the tricorder which displays several minor imbalances in the plasma flow in the EPS conduit placed behind one of the casing in the jefferies tubes:: CEO: See for yourself sir. It seems that the plasma mix is out of phase slightly...
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
*OPS* Very good, Lieutenant.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: what time did the victim come to his quarters and who was the one who found him? Was the wife here?
EO_Fuz says:
@ ::scans the power relay system and electrical signatures of the room::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::Picks up the ball::  FCO: ensign?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::takes tricorder and reads::  Hansen: Good find Daniel...  What do you think caused this?
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@ OPS: That's it... end of stories about them... Lewis was a quiet guy.... never complained... he was weird sometimes but ok I guess
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Sorry Lt, kin of a habit I guess.  :smiles at the CSO::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@EO: anything Mr. Fuz?
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She looks down at the ball on the ground and sighs:: CSO: Since when has Starfleet allowed simple children's objects on the bridge of Starfleet vessels? ::She walks over to the Ensign at the conn and gives him a fake smile:: Sorry sonny...::Considers picking up the ball::...but your bouncy balls and toy dolls have to stay in your quarters.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: weird in what sense?
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@OPS : Smith at the door found him... after we broke the door down.... that was an hour ago.... both the wife and "friend" were in HIS quarters at the time... they claim
CMO_Releben says:
@ Capt_M:  Is this exactly where he was found?
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CIV: Aye ma’am, my balls will stay in quarters from now on.  ::lets out a smile::
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
CEO: Probably an energy spike in the EPS network, or an impurity in the deuterium flow to the M/ARA system...::Isn't quite sure and phrases his comment more as a question::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::lets out a chuckle at the FCO's comment::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: I see
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@::nods at the CMO:: CMO: Yup
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: did the wife and "Friend" make a statement to you all at all?
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She pats him on the head lightly, almost like a child:: FCO: Very well Ensign...carry on...::She gives him a more realistic smile and continues pacing the bridge slowly::
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@OPS: Just what I told you when I asked them where they were the last few hours
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::grabs ball and puts it away:: CSO: Sorry Lt, won't happen again.
EO_Fuz says:
@ OPS: All appears normal....
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: they were all here when the Engineer arrived? may I question one of them?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::opens up an access panel and cross connects the tricorder with the panel::  Hansen: That's true.... But wouldn't an impurity also cause an imbalance in the Intermix Ratio?
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::walks back to console and sits down::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::Stands up to stretch, moves over to the FCO, and whispers, inaudible to ALL but the FCO::  FCO: I don't mind you bringing a good luck charm on board, just don't let the CO or XO catch you with that thing.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::begins making corrections and pointing out the procedure to Hansen::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@EO: thanks Mr. Fuz.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@OPS: Of course....
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::whispers to the CSO:: CSO: Aye sir.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CEO: Very true sir...::He watches beside Irvin and checks the display:: However wouldn't an imbalance be noticed on the master core output displays?
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: let me speak to the wife first.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@Smith: Smith !!!  Go get the Mrs... and bring her here...
CMO_Releben says:
@ OPS: I shall remain here if it is okay.....
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@CMO: that is fine, Doc.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Captain: lead the way if you wish?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::thinks as he completes the adjustments and closes the tricorder::  Hansen: Yeah.... Check the logs and see what's up...  It could have just been a 'thing' 
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::hands the tricorder back to Hansen and turns around::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::Without any words or request to leave the bridge she walks off and heads down the corridor to a main turbolift and commands it to immediately take her to deck two::
EO_Fuz says:
@ ::continues to poke around, not finding much::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::waiting for the wife::
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
CEO: A "thing" sir? ::He looks confused and makes a note on a PADD to check the power distribution logs kept in the computer core by the Chief of Operations::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@CMO: does it look like a struggle here to you? like this stabbing could of been done during the midst of battle?
CMO_Releben says:
@  OPS:  Judging by the distance from the door.... the attacker had to be well in the room.....
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
<Cathy Simons>::arrives at the quarters accompanied by Smith and inhales as she looks inside::
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::paces off 5 meters = 15 feet from the door::
CMO_Releben says:
@ OPS: One thing is clear.... the victim knew the attacker.....
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She walks in the main level of Engineering and looks around. Aware of the increase in gravity, her senses pick up on it almost immediately. The shift in gravity is only minor and with probably not be consciously noticeable by the Engineering staff for several days. She smiles as she looks around at the open room - the only one of it's kind on the ship::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::taking Mrs. simons outside quickly::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::crawls out::  Hansen: Yeah.... I've noticed that in certain areas of the ship, EPS flow tends to go through a minor fluctuation on this ship when certain systems kick in....   It's a flaw in the EPS power distribution network on Defiant-class vessels....   Notable enough to keep an eye on, but not of much consequence...  ::crawls out onto the deck::

@::looking at Mrs. smith:: Smith: I am sorry for your loss.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::Whispers:: Lt, I know it's probably not any of my business, but did somebody do something to make he CIV angry at the rest of us?
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@mrs. smith: what happened?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looking at the board and tapping out some commands::  CIV: Something I can do for you Lieutenant?
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO, It just seems that she has a hate for us that is uncalled for.
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@OPS: I dunno.... I was... .elsewhere when this happened.. .I should be asking you... Who did this?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCP: No, Ensign...some people are just inherently difficult.  I just think that's the only way she know how to get any kind of attention.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Smith: you're telling me when your hubby got home you were not here? where were you?
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She looks around and notices the little Engineer for the first time. With a smile she turns to him and walks over, holding out a PADD for him to take - immediately:: CEO: With the departure of our Counselor, I have opted to over-take the duties of the ship's counselor and will be running period psychological evaluations of the senior staff.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: One thing's for sure....she's not an Academy graduate.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CEO: As such, I have scheduled you for an evaluation in six days time. I expect you to attend...::Without another word she walks out::
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::looks around for the Captain::
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: I see, (difficult people) intrigue me.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::laughs at the CSO comment:: CSO: That’s for sure sir.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::continues to look over the engineering log files and says before the door closes::  CIV: I see....  I'm sure that it will be an experience to remember.....
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
<Cathy Simons>::points to Captain Jackson:: OPS: She told you... I was with my lover !  ::spits the words out::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Actually, when you study her behavior scientifically, it's really quite fascinating...I'm not sure I've ever witnessed so many strange psychological mechanisms displayed by one person before in my entire life.
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::whispers::  OPS: A simple scan could confirm if she was or not.....
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@looking at Mrs. Simons with shock:: Simons: so when was the last time you saw both of them?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::calls over to Ensign Hansen::  Hansen: I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary here  ::glancing over the log file:: 
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::whispers back to the CMO:: go ahead and scan.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: I know what you mean Lt, on one hand, and this is completely  off the record, I want to hate her, but on the other, she does keep your mind sharp.
CMO_Releben says:
@ Cap:  Captain, I will need a sample of DNA from both of them.....
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@::thinks:: OPS: When he left for duty... I was off duty today... so I went to see him
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::He eventually crawls out of the jefferies tube and walks over to the Chief:: CEO: Understood sir. The error seemed to be minor, however I felt it important to note the fluctuation to you...sir...
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Simons: did your husband find out of your affair?
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::scans the Missus for recent sexual activity.... would detail further, but alas we are a PG-rated ship::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::sees a reminder pop up on the display panel reminding him to dispatch damage control teams to deal with a Vole situation on deck 4::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Off the record, Ensign, my philosophy is to try and not take part in the games she insists on playing...they're fairly transparent...the best advice I can give is to ignore her unless she actually offers something useful.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Simons: and did he approach you both with any threats?
Captain_Martha_Jackson says:
@::shakes head:: OPS: I dunno... I thought we were discreet.... but Captain Jackson tells me the whole ship knew... ::sighs:: He could of found out about it
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: I know this sounds weird LT, but I think in a way, just her being the way she is can be useful, if we use it right.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Of course, Ensign, she out ranks you, so you must follow her orders, unless they are superseded by myself, the XO, or the CO.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
Hansen: Very Good Ensign...   Thanks for the heads up..   I'm headed back to the bridge.....  BTW... Dispatch a damage control team to deck 4.  We've got something of a Vole problem down there.....
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Absolutely sir.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Perhaps you're right, Ensign...perhaps you're right. I can certainly envision circumstances where her demeanor could come in handy.
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::whispers:: OPS: Lt, she has been sexually active within the past two hours....
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
*OPS* Please report on the status of you're investigation.
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
CEO: Sir...
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@*CSO* in the process of questioning the wife and the other party involved sir.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::walks over to the ladder and climbs up to the upper level, exiting to the corridor::
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: I’ve heard stories LT, of 21st century Marine bootcamp.  The "drill instructors would break the crew down in order to keep them physically sharp and mentally sharp.
Ens_Daniel_Hansen says:
::He stops as the CEO sighs and guesses he won't ask what happened to the voles on the bridge then::
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@::whispers back to the CMO:: CMO: so it was not her.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: I think on some level, she does help to keep our minds sharp.
CMO_Releben says:
@ Capt:  Captain.... I need a sample of the other suspects DNA.....
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Sounds like my first year at the Academy....fortunately, our situation with the CIV is far less demanding.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
@Simons: that will be all for now I will have more questions maybe later. thank you.
CMO_Releben says:
@ ::whispers::  OPS: Until I confirm this sample.... I cannot rule that out.....
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::He experiment in motion - the project continues - her duty has begun, and the project is underway. She has a purpose here::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Lets get back to focusing on duty, shall we?
