SD 10206.06

The USS Pharaoh and the fleet has FINALLY arrived in the Theta Reticulum system. All systems are running at peek efficiency since the 3 week journey from the black hole to the system was quite uneventful.

The fleet is one hour away from the system and is now entering Long Range scans.

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::initiates long range scans of the Theta Rectilum system::
CO_Starks says:
:: stands and walks forward of the Conn ::
CO_Starks says:
FCO: Low orbit
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::swings around on bio bed and looks to the doctor::  CMO: Well?  What's up Doc?  
CO_Starks says:
TO: Hail the fleet have them take a high orbit and await our orders
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain, we are 58 minutes from our destination.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain, I'm reading about thirty ships in orbit of the 4th Planet. ::tries to identify ships with LRS::
CMO_Releben says:
CEO: Well... you want the good news or the bad news?
CO_Starks says:
CSO: we'll then that gives you plenty of time to start a scan with the LRS array doesn't it?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
CMO: What could be bad?  Let's have it
CO_Starks says:
TO: hail the fleet have them drop to impulse
CMO_Releben says:
CEO: Well, the good news is you'll die....
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Absolutely, sir. ::continues LRS scans of the ships::
CO_Starks says:
FCO: continue at our current speed
CMO_Releben says:
CEO: The bad news is it is not today....
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
CMO: har har har....  Just what I need.  A Phunny Physician.
ACTO_T`Rail says:
CO: captain  we got lrs picking up about  30 bogies  unknown configuration it doesn’t match any thing in our data base 
CO_Starks says:
TO: standard greeting all channels
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::attempts to detect ship registries, if existent::
ACTO_T`Rail says:
CO: aye
OPS_H says:
::walks onto the bridge from the TL::
CMO_Releben says:
CEO: I was not trying to be funny, but if you find humor in your plight, that is your decision.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::steps on to deck:: CMO: We're all going to die at some point...  But what has been wrong with me?  Can I return to duty?
CO_Starks says:
Self: this is damn irregular
ACTO_T`Rail says:
CO: Incoming hail 
CO_Starks says:
TO: on screen
OPS_Hlo says:
:;walks to his console::
CO_Starks says:
::takes the Captain's chair again::
CMO_Releben says:
CEO: You have been eradicated of the Larosian virus, just stay on top of your fluid intake and be careful to avoid spiced foods for the next week or so.  You are cleared to return to duty, Lt.
ACTO_T`Rail says:
:::puts it up on screen::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::raises eye toward the monitor::
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at the screen::
CMO_Releben says:
CEO: It would explain the hallucinations you reported....

ACTION: On the screen appears a large insect creature... Multi-eyed and legged... Looks like a praying mantis

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::sighs an internal and not apparent sigh of relief::  CMO: Cool... Maybe now I can get a good nights sleep again.

CO_Starks says:
OPS: clean that up
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::starts running being's statements through the translator manually....to no avail::
CMO_Releben says:
CEO: If there is anything further, please contact me.
CO_Starks says:
COM: I am Commander James Starks of the Federation Starship Pharaoh. We are escorting Federation colonist to this system
OPS_Hlo says:

CO_Starks says:
OPS: we're getting somewhere is that you or are they fast learners?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge and suddenly catches a glimpse of the screen::  CO: Lieutenant Eli Irvin reporting for.......  What the.......?
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO:Graciously greeted is the noblissimus entr'acte Starks chief in command subjective warning. ::claps his many legs together::
CO_Starks says:
CEO: station
CNS_Luchena says:
::supposes he should report for duty or something::
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: It's not me sir.
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: This language is hard to translate. ::starts to go back to work::
CO_Starks says:
COM:Laihe: Warning?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::nods eyeing the view screen and heads over to the Engineering station::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::taps a few buttons bringing the station online::
CO_Starks says:
FCO: drop to impulse when we enter the system
CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks he'd rather get something to eat and wonders if there is a mess hall or something on the ship::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::watches as the panel read outs flicker to life::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, I'm picking up spacecraft, shuttle-like, returning from the planet with what appear to supplies.
CMO_Releben says:
::entering the final report on his console regarding Lt. Irvin, begins a final count of medical inventory::
CO_Starks says:
CSO: biological or mineral?
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at his readings:: Self: Interesting.
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO::waves his legs faster:: Greeted leaving Nithwaeld illfounded distortion
CNS_Luchena says:
::leaves his quarters and goes wondering off down a hallway::
OPS_Hlo says:
::tries to clear up the language again::
CO_Starks says:
COM:Laihe: I am sorry but I still am having trouble translating your language
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: It appears to be some sort of food, sir.
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO:Urgently spatial coordinate-status misfound illfound illfounded distortion in nithwaeld on merest dysfunction hereditary disastrous propulsion.
CNS_Luchena says:
Thinks to self:  Its a small ship.  I couldn't possibly get lost.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::runs a diagnostic on the universal translator just to be on the safe side::
CO_Starks says:
CSO: could they be referring to the Black hole and supernova?
OPS_Hlo says:
::still trying to translate the message getting annoyed::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: It's a possibility, sir...or perhaps a warning about the planet...
CO_Starks says:
CSO: direct your scans to the planet

ACTION: A Cardassian vole skitters in from of the CNS and disappears in the wall

CNS_Luchena says:
::squeaks and jumps backwards::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::directs scans towards planet, searching for anything unexpected from the most recent data starfleet has provided::
ACTO_T`Rail says:
::looks over and smiles at the CNS::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: It's a class M planet...very lush with life and quite habitable by most known lifeforms.
CNS_Luchena says:
::regains his composure and sees a tactical officer smiling at him::
Laihe says:
@ ::stares at viewscreen and turns to someone offscreen and utters a terrible noise that refuses to be translated
CO_Starks says:
COM:Laihe: Can you please try to communicate your message again
CMO_Releben says:
::finishes up his inventory and exits for the mess hall::
CO_Starks says:
OPS: Send them all our language databases
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO:Affirmative response ::nods::
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: Aye sir.
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO:Urgently spatial coordinate-status misfound illfound illfounded distortion in nithwaeld on merest dysfunction hereditary disastrous propulsion.
CNS_Luchena says:
ACTO:  Is there a mess hall on board?
CMO_Releben says:
::enters the mess hall and finds an empty replicator::
OPS_Hlo says:
::sends our language database to the alien ship::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::walks over to the OPS console::  OPS: May I?
ACTO_T`Rail says:
CNS: yea  its down on deck 2 ::grins:: its the only place on board we can relax basically 
CNS_Luchena says:
ACTO:  Deck 2?  What deck are we on now?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::scans the planets orbit to see if it shows signs of having been altered recently::
Laihe says:
@ ::turns back to someone offscreen and screams more::
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: What do you need to do?

ACTION: Of the many words... only 2 came through..... Blasted technology

ACTO_T`Rail says:
CNS: Since were on the bridge that would mean were on deck 1 
CNS_Luchena says:
ACTO:  Is there a lift or a stairway or something around here?  ::looks around::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::Taps out some commands on the console::  OPS: I don't know if it will work...   I heard this once...   Maybe if you dump the primary UT output BACK to the primary bridge subprocessor and command the computer to resequence the signal through the main processor, then dump to the audio system.....  
ACTO_T`Rail says:
::points to the turbo lift:: CNS: is this your 1st time on a starship ?
OPS_Hlo says:
::confused by his babble:: CEO: Go ahead. ::steps aside::
CO_Starks says:
COM:Laihe: I share your sentiment of the Universal Translator
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO:Affirmative, ::nods:: qualifier variancy-area room-space-location nonlocating alteration-aversion-shift loss. Loss! Shift!
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
OPS: Give the thing a little more bang for the buck with the main computer...  ::taps in commands rerouting UT signal through main computer::  
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks to OPS:: OPS: Hail them again....
CNS_Luchena says:
ACTO:  No.  I served on an Nebula class before this.  Thanks for the directions.  ::heads towards the lift::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
And restart the UT
OPS_Hlo says:
::hails the alien vessel again::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
Self: Perhaps they are lost...
CMO_Releben says:
:: orders coffee, black and lukewarm ::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::waits looking at the screen::
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: Sir I have hailed the alien vessel again, the transmission might have been cleared up.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::leans on console with one hand on the corner::
CNS_Luchena says:
::steps in TL::  TL:  Deck 2.
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO:Urgently spatial coordinate-status misfound illfound illfounded distortion in nithwaeld on merest dysfunction hereditary disastrous propulsion.
CMO_Releben says:

OPS_Hlo says:
Self: I guess not.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::pounds console::  Self: Crap.
CO_Starks says:
OPS: he's now repeating himself
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
Self: If I only new what "nithweald" and "merest" mean. ::snaps fingers::
CNS_Luchena says:
::exits the TL and heads in the direction he hopes the mess hall is in::
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: Sorry Sir. ::gets back to work again::
CO_Starks says:
OPS?CEO: I suggest your work on this before our failure to communicate turns into a real problem
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks up to the CO:: CO: I don't have a computer explanation Commander
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO : Nithwaeld is Ingwe. Or filamentary
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::pulls up a chair from an adjacent station::
OPS_Hlo says:
:;scans the language looking for a few similar words like "we come in peace"::
XO_Chalen says:
::enters the bridge and stands next to the CO's chair::
CO_Starks says:
TO: how's that tac scan?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, we should at least go to yellow alert.....
CO_Starks says:
XO: and if those 30 ships take offense to that we can't communicate our intentions at this point
CNS_Luchena says:
::sees a room with some replicators and tables... and an old guy::
ACTO_T`Rail says:
CO: were not just dealing with one race here sir its 100 races on each of those ships 
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO : Commanding Starks planet arrival request
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
COMPUTER: Computer, Cross link the aux computer processing system to the main computer and the bridge subprocessor and boost the mavaigade to 27 spr
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
<COMPUTER> All in room: Acknowledged
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at his console:: CO: Sir, I think I may know how to say "We come in peace" in their language but that is it.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, I must quote general order twelve:   When contact cannot be established with an unknown vessel defenses must be engaged.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
ACTO: Could this possibly be a convoy as well?
CO_Starks says:
COM:Laihe: Yes! We request permission to come to this planet with our fleet
CMO_Releben says:
:: eyes a younger officer enter and tries to hide in the shadows::
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO:Affirmative response ::nods::
ACTO_T`Rail says:
CO: its possible 
CNS_Luchena says:
::goes to a replicator and gets a coffee and donut::
CO_Starks says:
COM:Laihe: We lead a peaceful fleet of colonist

ACTION: The ships begin to slowly break orbit

CO_Starks says:
CEO/OPS: keep on that UT
CO_Starks says:
FCO: lay in a course for the 4th planet, low orbit
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh:CO : Commanding Starks exchange trade request
XO_Chalen says:
::eyes the unknowns closely::
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: Aye sir.
CNS_Luchena says:
::turns around and approaches the CMO::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::taps out commands like crazy monitoring through put::
CMO_Releben says:
::thinks to self  "Now what?" and forces a warm smile::  CNS: Greetings Lt.  Care to join me?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
Self: trade request?
CNS_Luchena says:
::sits down beside the old duffer::  CMO:  Hi.

ACTION: The ships slowly break orbit but remain in the general area.

CO_Starks says:
CSO: surface scan
CO_Starks says:
CSO: any unknown lifeforms on the planet?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::runs a detailed scan of the surface of the planet for lifeforms::
OPS_Hlo says:
::taps commands as well looking at the CEO:: CEO: Having fun?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: One moment, sir.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  You're not the least bit worried that the unknowns are still hovering right over us practically?
CMO_Releben says:
::spies the donut and thinks maybe he should try to sneak it::  CNS: Hello.
CO_Starks says:
XO: do you see me asking the fleet to move in yet?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::monitors code coming onto screen::  OPS: Yeah... But I'm guessing at a little bit of this.  The programming is no problem.  Speech processing commands?  That's hard....
CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I'm Lt. Luchena, your new Counselor. ::sips his coffee::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: There seem to be no signs of significantly intelligent life aboard the planet.  No species on any of the vessels show planetside either.
XO_Chalen says:
::grumbles to himself at the CO's ability to dodge his questions intent::
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at his console getting annoyed:: CO: Sir I think I am on to something.
CO_Starks says:
CSO: begin detailed surface scans of the proposed landing points
CO_Starks says:
OPS: great, now tell me when you actually HAVE something I can use
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::starts scanning for the proposed landing spots::
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: A pleasure to meet you Counselor, but I have very little need for therapeutic services.  Perhaps your talents will be better served on the bridge crew.... they seem to have some.... issues.    ::grins softly::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::reads logs of the UT::  OPS: Look at this....  ::points to the peaks in the last communication::  I don't know what this means exactly, but it looks like the change in reverberation with each word is more than the computer and the UT can process....  Perhaps if we play it back through the computer at a slower rate....  ::looks at Hlo inquizativy::
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: It seems that this species uses a variety of languages at the same time. They borrow other cultures languages. But it is difficult to translate accurately.
CNS_Luchena says:
::chuckles::  CMO:  I haven't reported for duty yet.  I thought I'd better get some stimulants into my system first.  ::takes a bite of his donut::
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh: ::moves his hands together CO: Ships Lalairu depart danger
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: Interesting. Lets give it a shot.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
OPS: That would explain some of the peaks and valleys in the language matrix scan....   ::ducks under the OPS console ripping open the access panel::
CO_Starks says:
COM: Laihe: Is there danger here?
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh: CO:Qualified affirmation, technical…    ::forelegs knitting frantically::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::rearranges three isoleiner chips in the UT interface and adjusts the signal transfer rate::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  <w>:  That's what I'VE been trying to tell you......

ACTION: Translator refuses categorically to translate the many words uttered by the Laihe at this time

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
OPS: Restart the UT and Hail them....
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at the CEO destroying his console::
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh: CO:Longterm effect unknown, dangerous though, emmfozing, ending.
CMO_Releben says:
CNS:  I see, Lt.  ::pauses::  You been hiding for the past three weeks of this convoy then I take it?
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh: CO:Shift unbearable reality nature life, inturn frightened stars inworlds population loss shift lacktime losstime migration tizhne mystery major safe haven… suggest similar stars inworlds have exit departure lacktime losstime benefit.
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh: ::swivels head from side to side:: CO:Shift unpredictable dataless uncertainties dangerous!
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks up::  All: We're getting closer.....  ::ducks back down::
CNS_Luchena says:
::sips his coffee::  CMO:  Took me a while to unpack... and get over my claustrophobia.  Is there an actual sickbay on this ship?
CO_Starks says:
XO: opinions?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  They're obviously trying to warn us about something associated with this planet or star system.
Laihe says:
@COM:Pharaoh: ::looks at Starks mournfully:: CO:Departure imminent, data dump imminent, locations safely, wellwish.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::disconnects and pulls out the UT processor and kneels on the deck::

ACTION: The ships send a data dump to the Pharaoh from their computers

CNS_Luchena says:
::munches on the donut::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: We are receiving a data transfer, sir.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  If I had to guess, I'd say they know something we don't about this area.   And that they're either leaving soon or they're telling us to.
CO_Starks says:
COM: Laihe: Thanks to you, safe journey
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: Now what are you doing?
CO_Starks says:
OPS: get on that data de-cryption
Laihe says:
@  ::nods and raises a foreleg::
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: Claustrophobia?  You do realize you are on a Defiant  class vessel, Lt?  ::takes a sip from his coffee::   And yes, sickbay is just around the corner.

ACTION: The screen winks out leaving the stars and the many Lalairu ships on the viewer.

OPS_Hlo says:
CO: Trying Sir, it is a bit difficult.

ACTION: The ships move out of the system

XO_Chalen says:
OPS:  Run it through the filters!   Who knows what might be in that data stream!
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: The ships are departing, sir.
CNS_Luchena says:
::grins::  CMO:  Sickbay is just around the corner from the mess hall?  I bet that comes in handy.
CO_Starks says:
TO: have the fleet move in and take a high orbital path
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::opens the unit up and cross links some of the circuitry to increase efficiency, and replaces the unit::
OPS_Hlo says:
::runs the "thing" through the filters::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::begins trying to sort through the recently acquired data::
CNS_Luchena says:
::finishes up the donut and licks the sugar off his fingers::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::sits up in the chair::  ::taps on the console::  ::crosses fingers::  ::restarts UT::  OPS: Try it now....  It's anyone’s guess now....
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: Yes indeed.  And.... a suggestion if I may..... avoid Mexican night... some of the crew..... overindulge themselves.....
OPS_Hlo says:
XO: That was nothing.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
OPS&CO: I've never done anything like this to ANY piece of computer equipment..... 
CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Good time to hunker in your bunk with a good book?
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at CEO:: CEO: Ok here it goes. ::tries to translate the message again::
XO_Chalen says:
::nods at OPS::
CNS_Luchena says:
::sips his coffee some more::
OPS_Hlo says:
CEO: It isn't going so well.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::sees smoke coming from the console::  OPS: uhhh...  Shut it off.....
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: That is one solution.  However, I manage to utilize my time to meditate on things of a more 'personal' nature...
CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Like what?
OPS_Hlo says:
::stops translation and thinks to himself  "I just started a week ago and they put me through this" ::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
OPS: I increased the efficiency of the unit....   ::looks to the CO::  CO: Maybe a little too much?
CO_Starks says:
XO: work with Tactical go over the scan we got form those ships
CO_Starks says:
CEO: it would seem quite possible, get it back up and running
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye sir.
XO_Chalen says:
::walks to the Tac console::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::gets up and stretches a little::
CMO_Releben says:
CNS:  I take it race relations is not a strong suit, Lt?  I am Kaelon if you haven't guessed.  I have recently noted my 58th year....
OPS_Hlo says:
CEO/CO: It could take years to translate this language, it is a variety of languages put in one, maybe if I had a team working on it would go a little faster.
XO_Chalen says:
::punches up the tactical scans of the unknowns and begins reviewing::
CNS_Luchena says:
::nods::  CMO:  Two more years to go?
CO_Starks says:
OPS: keep on that data block
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks at the OPS console seeing LOTS of isoleiner chips on the floor and other miscellaneous circuitry::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::shakes head::
OPS_Hlo says:
CEO: What did you do to my station!
CO_Starks says:
ALL: relax people looks like disaster missed us for once
OPS_Hlo says:
::looks at his console flickering::
CO_Starks says:
:: walks to SCI station ::
CMO_Releben says:
::smiles warmly::  CNS:  My apologies Counselor.  Yes, two years until my time of departure.
CO_Starks says:
CSO: Mr Brehgorn...
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
OPS: The Universal Translator is working at 475% efficiency
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::smiles a half hearted smile::
CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  And where do your contemplations lead you?
OPS_Hlo says:
CEO: I wish I could tell but my console is flickering on and off.
CO_Starks says:
CSO: I have been meaning to inform you but we got another Long Range message from starfleet
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks at the console flickering and sighs::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Oh?

ACTION: The ships leave the system as warp

OPS_Hlo says:
::thinks "this is suppose to be the "Chief" engineer"::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, The ships are a whole bunch of cobbled together ships... various races... designs.. all working together.
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: That I have come to accept my fate.  My contributions to society have been made.  It is my destiny....
CO_Starks says:
CSO: After your work on the "Brehgorn Star Cluster"  the Brass have awarded you a promotion to the rank of Lt. Cmdr.
CO_Starks says:
CSO: congratulations
CO_Starks says:
CSO: your pips are already in your cabin
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Thank you very much, sir. ::smiles broadly::
OPS_Hlo says:
CO: Sir the ships just left.
CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I can't imagine what its like knowing from birth when you will die.  Most species don't have that experience.
CO_Starks says:
XO: log it all, al have the computer start to categorize them all
CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to imagine but can't get his head around it::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::dips below the console and access the repair and config panel again in an attempt to fix the station back like it was::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye.
CO_Starks says:
CSO: Celebrate later, but it was well earned
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: It does take the guesswork out of "How much longer do I have?"  Really, it is a relief....
CO_Starks says:
:: walks back to the Captain's chair ::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CO: Understood, sir.  ::gets back to data analysis::
CNS_Luchena says:
::nods again::  CMO:  And gives you time to say goodbye... tidy up your affairs...
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::opens panel and begins putting things back the way we were::  OPS:  Ok... I'll admit to being a bit messy, but my stuff works....   
CO_Starks says:
XO: I take it you'll still want to go to the surface before the fleet begins landing maneuvers?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
OPS: Commander Starks will tell ya... I'm a lot better than I used to be
CO_Starks says:
CEO: let's not talk about what you "used to be"  ::grins::
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: Agreed.  No long lost persons to track down.... they are aware of my situation and are beginning preparations as we speak.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  That goes without saying sir.  I'll need to take a survey team in person to the first landing site.   Never trust sensors when you can send a man.
OPS_Hlo says:
CEO: Really, how could you be any ::holds his tongue::
CO_Starks says:
XO: begin away team prep and pick your team
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::continues working:: CO: Thanks James, I'll remember that.  ::chuckles and works::
XO_Chalen says:
