<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO-Alex says:
*ALL*: Please meet me in the arboretum for the eulogy.

OPS_TJ says:
::entering the arboretum::

CO-Alex says:
::slowly gets up from her chair and walks to the TL::

TO_Calder says:
::Sitting in the armory finishing up the new security arrangements::

CEOTPaula says:
::heads for the arboretum::

SO_Nes says:
::listens to the com and leaves for the arboretum::

FCO_Mille says:
::gets up and walks to the TL::

CIVLecara says:
:: Lecaran exits his quarters and head to the arboretum::

OPS_TJ says:
::pauses in front of the doors to the arboretum... and then enters::

CO-Alex says:
FCO: Jared, this is a sad day::wipes a tear away from her eyes::

OPS_TJ says:
::looks around t the calm setting::

CIVLecara says:
:: He arrives and enters::

SO_Nes says:
::exits the TL and walks towards the arboretum::

OPS_TJ says:
::keeps pretty much to himself::

TO_Calder says:
Computer: Directions from armory to arboretum?

CTO_Selan says:
::In Quarters, doing some last minute checks on his Tactical plan for Rescue of T'salea, hears com, and wonders why everyone on this ship is giving up so easily::

FCO_Mille says:
CO:  Now Captain, you of all people should not give up hope.

SO_Nes says:
::walks into the arboretum and glances around::

CEOTPaula says:
::arrives at the arboretum::

CO-Alex says:
::exits the TL and walks to the arboretum with Jared::

OPS_TJ says:
::rubs his hands together, and rocks on his heels::

CIVLecara says:
:: Lecaran is standing in the arboretum, and suddenly holds his head in agony::

CO-Alex says:
FCO: I have not given up hope Jared, this should never have happened.

CTO_Selan says:
:: Suddenly hears a familiar voice again... "Why, because they are weak... they are fools." ::

OPS_TJ says:
::see's Lecaren:: You okay?

TO_Calder says:
::notes that the computer isn't answering....and gets up and decides to just ask the TL to get him there::

FCO_Mille says:
CO:  I can promise you this...we will find whoever did this.

CIVLecara says:
OPS: I..I don't know

OPS_TJ says:
::heads over to him, and is ready to tap him com badge, for a medical team::

CO-Alex says:
::shakes her head in agreement::

SO_Nes says:
::thinks that Tsalea's not really dead::

OPS_TJ says:
::glances at him carefully::

CO-Alex says:
FCO: Is everyone here?

CEOTPaula says:
::wanders around briefly and finds a place to stand::

OPS_TJ says:
Civ: You better have a seat

CIVLecara says:
:: Sees what TJ is doing:: OPS: No.. I'll be all.. right

CTO_Selan says:
::Exits Quarters... ignoring the voice this time, and heads toward the nearest Turbolift:;

OPS_TJ says:
::takes his hand away from his badge, and hesitates::

FCO_Mille says:
CO:  Not everyone.

TO_Calder says:
::gets out of the TL, and sees the arboretum....proceeds in that direction::

CO-Alex says:
::walks over to the waterfall and lays down a holoprojector::

SO_Nes says:
::watches the CO::

OPS_TJ says:
Civ: If you're sure... I guess you would know... I still think you should talk to the doctor...

TO_Calder says:
*Sec team A0, A1*: Take up cover positions around the arboretum.

CEOTPaula says:
::not willing to give up on T just yet and wonders if this isn't a little premature::

CIVLecara says:
OPS: I'll be all right.. I think..

CO-Alex says:
ALL: As you know, we have lost a valued crewmember and valued friend.  It is her wish that this be played in these surroundings.

CTO_Selan says:
TL: Arboretum. ::Listens to the Computer acknowledge his request, and continue onward::

CIVLecara says:
OPS: Thanks for your concern

OPS_TJ says:
::sighs:: Civ: No problem

Host CO-Alex says:
ALL: I have not seen this and will be seeing it with you for the first time.  Will everyone take a seat please.

TO_Calder says:
*Sec Teams A2,A3*: Cover the bridge. Keep anyone out unless they GIVE clearance.

OPS_TJ says:
::straightens out his uniform and takes a seat::

CTO_Selan says:
::Taps his foot slightly, and hears the voice again. "Figures... they would give up so easily..." Selan says nothing in his mind, but wonders what will occur at the Eulogy::

SO_Nes says:
::finds a seat and sits down::

CEOTPaula says:
::follows CO's instruction::

FCO_Mille says:
::sits down next to the CO::

TO_Calder says:
::finds a seat next to the CTO and sits::

CIVLecara says:
:: sit down, and notices that the pain is dissipating..  for now::

OPS_TJ says:
::stares at the ground, and then up at the bulkhead, and then the Captain::

CTO_Selan says:
::As the Turbolift stops, exits and heads down the corridor toward the Arboretum::

Host CO-Alex says:
::notices someone coming in the door that doesn't look familiar::

OPS_TJ says:
::see's the Civ relax::

TO_Calder says:
::realizes that wasn't the CTO...not completely certain who the person is goes looking for the CTO::

SO_Nes says:
::rubs her head::

OPS_TJ says:
::drums his fingers on his knees::

CTO_Selan says:
:: "Are you ignoring me?" Selan says nothing in his mind again, and slowly enters the Arboretum::

CIVLecara says:
:: The voices are going away.. the voices of everyone on board.. the thoughts of  everyone on board::

OPS_TJ says:
::realizes he hasn't changed his uniform in days, and hasn't had any real sleep in longer...::

Host CO-Alex says:
ALL: Are we ready to begin::looking at her crew::

OPS_TJ says:
::runs a hand through his hair, and remains silent::

FCO_Mille says:
::nods to the CO::

OPS_TJ says:
::nods slowly, uncertainly::

SO_Nes says:
::nods slightly::

CEOTPaula says:
::watches the captain::

CIVLecara says:
~~~~CO: Yes~~~~~

Host CO-Alex says:
::sees another man enter the arboretum::

CIVLecara says:
CO: Oh I am sorry!

CTO_Selan says:
:: "You know she isn't dead, she's out there somewhere, they're just to weak to accept that..." Selan stops, and stands toward the back of the Arboretum, listening intently, getting tired of this voice in his head, and wonders when he will get the chance to see the Counselor about this::

OPS_TJ says:
::see's the TL doors open, and someone enter::

TO_Calder says:
::gives no reponse, but stands at the back with a slight frown::

CIVLecara says:
CO: I have been having problems with my telepathic powers recently

CMDMadred says:
Officer: Commnder Madred requesting permission to come aboard .......

OPS_TJ says:
::hears the Commander identify himself::

Host CO-Alex says:
COM: Madred: Permission granted.

OPS_TJ says:
::rubs his temples, and pays no attention::

TO_Calder says:
::walks over to the CTO::

SO_Nes says:
::turns towards the entrance of the arboretum and sees Selan in the shadows::

CTO_Selan says:
:: "Well... if you aren't going to do anything..." The voice suddenly cuts off, and Selan is relaxed::

CTO_Selan says:
::Sees Calder approaching, and nods::

FCO_Mille says:
::leans over to the captain::  CO:  Are you going to make it through this ok?

TO_Calder says:
CTO>:::whispering:: Sir, here is the new security arrangements you requested ::hands him a PADD::

CMDMadred says:
@::pilots the shuttle towards the shuttle bay entrance of the Scorpius::

Host CO-Alex says:
FCO: With your help I will.

CTO_Selan says:
::Whispers:: TO: Thank you Lieutenant. ::Takes PADD, and looks up and down it::

FCO_Mille says:
CO:  You don't even have to ask.

Host CO-Alex says:
::reaches for Jared's hand and clasps it tightly::

CEOTPaula says:
::expects to have to deal with lots of emotional people in the near future::

TO_Calder says:
CTO: ::whispers:: The team commanders are the same, but I split to 2 man teams. Should allow us more freedom as well as allowing us to post people at each senior officer.

CMDMadred says:
::lands the shuttle in the shuttle bay and steps through the opening hatch giving his uniform a tug::

CIVLecara says:
:: Taps his Phe'Larr to start a self-diagnostic, to check if the new sytems are functioning::

CTO_Selan says:
::Whispers:: TO: Good ideas. Make sure a team is assigned to Lt. T'paula, seeing as she is also a target from Mr. Gul Marat.

CMDMadred says:
::nods to the shuttle coordinator and steps out of the bay into the hall::

OPS_TJ says:
::hates long silences, and taps his feet on the ground::

Host CO-Alex says:
ALL: We are waiting for one more person to arrive.

SO_Nes says:
::rubs her forehead::

TO_Calder says:
CTO: ::whispering:: Yes, sir. We have 14 teams on alpha shift now. I'll assign as soon as we leave, sir.

OPS_TJ says:
::his mind is jumbled with thoughts, and he finds he's having trouble dealing with them::

CTO_Selan says:
::Whispers:: TO: Understood.

CMDMadred says:
::finds his way quickly to the Arboretum and enters the room glancing at each of the assembled officers and feeling very much out of place::

Host CO-Alex says:
ALL: We will begin.  CMD. Madred, thank you for coming.

FCO_Mille says:
::looks up and notices an unfamiliar face::

TO_Calder says:
CTO: ::whispers:: Yes, sir. There is one other issue I would like to discuss with you when you are free. And in a more...secure... environment.

OPS_TJ says:
::studies the unfamiliar person::

Host CO-Alex says:
::takes her seat after she touches the program::

CTO_Selan says:
::Recognizes Madred from Captain Alexander's marriage ceremony months ago::

SO_Nes says:
::notices the new person, doesn't recognize him, but knows the name::

CMDMadred says:
::nods quietly to the Captain taking a position at the back of the room::

CIVLecara says:
:: All of the voices are gone now.. All but the thoughts of TJ Wilkens .. the thoughts are many.. and although Lecaran doesn't want to listen in on them his mind is forcing it upon him.. and suddenly that voice is gone too

FCO_Mille says:
::extends his hand back to the captain::

Host CO-Alex says:
~~~~Thank you Jared~~~~

TO_Calder says:
::watches the new commander...::

FCO_Mille says:
::looks over at the captain and smiles::

CSOTsalea says:
::Holo-Tsalea is sitting by the waterfall playing her Lyrette. As soon as the
various crewmembers finish entering the room, she looks up and records who
is there. She then addresses those present while still playing various
soothing tunes::

SO_Nes says:
::watches the holo-Tsalea and wishes it was her real friend::

TO_Calder says:
::is very edgy in his seat...waiting for something::

OPS_TJ says:
::watches the program::

Host CO-Alex says:
::tears come to her eyes unbidden and unwanted::

CMDMadred says:
::sits quietly resolute .... most of his emotions having been used up at this point::

CSOTsalea says:
All:   Each of our lives follows a path. There are many steps we walk and many
ways we can choose. My path had for a time converged with yours. You have
greatly honored me in sharing your path with me. You have greatly enriched
my life with its sharing. Some of you I have shared more than others, but
that sharing is no less for its time.

OPS_TJ says:
::smooths out his rumpled uniform again::

FCO_Mille says:
::hands the captain some tissues::

SO_Nes says:
::wipes away a tear::

TO_Calder says:
::reaches down to make sure his side arm is where it is supposed to be::

Host CO-Alex says:
::Tsalea I grieve for thee::

OPS_TJ says:
::licks his dry lips, and holds back his emotions::

CIVLecara says:
:: Sits quietly.. sad for the loss of T.. but his actions not showing it::

CEOTPaula says:
::watches Holo-T without emotion::

CSOTsalea says:
<<:: turns to CO Trish Alexander:: .My captain, you have honored me by
calling me friend. You have been willing to listen and at times simply
except me, sometimes with understanding sometimes not. But that support
has always been there; a priceless gift. From you I have learned the art of
being able to tell others my appreciation of them.....

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Like a ghost out of nowhere, appears. A Telepathic image, only visible to Selan... not even visible to the other Telepaths in the room. More like a figment of Selan's imagination, not visible to anyone but him::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ~~~~Ooh... I like funeral's, don't you?~~~~

CMDMadred says:
::his face drawn at the edges is stiff and he rubs at the goatee a bit .... realizes it is stiff from dried tears::

CSOTsalea says:
I wish for you a long and happy life with your Gene. You perhaps most of all will find my death the hardest to deal with. Let Gene carry you for awhile. And remember the ritual I taught you. Sometimes one must say good-bye >>

CTO_Selan says:
::Eyes widen at the sight of the mirror image of himself. Says nothing::

Host CO-Alex says:
~~~~Jared, she screams silently in her mind, with great anguish~~~~

OPS_TJ says:
::keeping perfectly silent::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ~~~~CTO: What. You don't recognize me?~~~~

FCO_Mille says:
::allows the captain to take a tighter grip in his hand::

SO_Nes says:
::begins to sense the grief and other emotions of the crew::

CTO_Selan says:
~~~~Shilar: Who?~~~~

OPS_TJ says:
::moves his stiff neck slowly::

CSOTsalea says:
<<Her eyes search for XO Jude Emmanuel.:: Commander, you were first my friend
before my superior officer. Along the way you have assisted me unconditionally and been willing to listen. From you I have learned to explore my abilities and not be afraid to use them. ::She gives him a slight bow of her head.:: Thank you. And take good care of our ....

CSOTsalea says:
Captain, remember, taking is part of giving. Let others give to you. May your
garden of life find new beauties.>>

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Puts finger to mouth:: ~~~~CTO: Shhhh... you'll ruin the surprise.~~~~

OPS_TJ says:
::leans back in his chair::

CMDMadred says:
::looks from officer to officer as the holo-Tsalea identifies them and realizes how close his T was to these people .... much like his own ship.  How could he have ever wanted to take her from them.

Host CO-Alex says:
::turns to Jared and buries her head in his shoulder::

TO_Calder says:
::notes Selans slight change in posture...wonders if he is expecting something to happen as well::

OPS_TJ says:
::wonders how he could know someone for such a small amount of time, and yet know them so well::

CSOTsalea says:
<<:: She turns to FCO Jared Miller :: Jared, you have shared with me the gift of music. Through that we have slowly become friends. Within you lies a quiet wisdom and a gentle strength that others may lean on. Let others share in that wisdom. And thank you for allowing me to lean on that strength. I am…sorry we did not have more of a chance for discovery. May you always find beauty. >>

CIVLecara says:
:: Now all of his telepathic powers are gone.. he feels somehow.. empty.. as if missing a part of himself::

CTO_Selan says:
::Stares in surprise at the being. He is a mirror image of Selan, except his eyes are glowing red, and he has a grin on his face that directly makes him different from the Vulcan CTO::

Host CO-Alex says:
::turning back to the hologram she listens to T::

SO_Nes says:
::feels the beginnings of a headache::

FCO_Mille says:
::maintains his composure::

CTO_Selan says:
::Glances around at the crew, and realizes that they have not said or done anything since the being's appearance, and realizes that the being is only visible to him:: 

CSOTsalea says:
<<:: Standing off to the side she looks at OPS TJ Wilkins:: TJ, you work too hard. There is so much around you that you miss. You have given much and have much to offer. Let others offer to you as well. But in that you too must step forward and make that effort. Don't hide the YOU my young friend.>>

OPS_TJ says:
::takes control of his emotions, and puts on his "Starfleet officer mask"::

CMDMadred says:
::watches the back of Captain Alexanders head surprised to see such a display of emotion from a Starfleet Captain::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Meets Selan's gaze:: ~~~~CTO: They can't see me. Do you even know who I am?~~~~

CTO_Selan says:
::Thinks to himself for a moment... and then comes to a terrifying realization. Mumbles to himself... No::

OPS_TJ says:
::has a lot to think about::

CEOTPaula says:
::still focused on the hologram::

OPS_TJ says:
::despite his best efforts, tears well up in his eyes::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ~~~~CTO: Oh yes. You recognize me now... good. Because I am your worst threat... not there's... yours. Because I am you. I know all that you know... feel all that you feel... am indeed you. And in the end, you will accept that.~~~~

Host CO-Alex says:
~~~~TJ, she thought very highly of you~~~~

CSOTsalea says:
<<To  SO Shania Nes.::Shania, you are an excellent science officer. I have all the confidence that you will succeed well as chief ::Raises an eyebrow:: and probably have fun with it. :: Looks over at Ens.Scott Orion.::Let Scott assist you. He is an excellent scientist, officerand friend. Scott, take care of Shania. I believe you will find her a good
chief.:: Looks back at Shania.:: It has been a privilege working with you
both. May you find what it is that you are seeking.>>

OPS_TJ says:
::hears a voice in his head, and glances around in surprise::

CIVLecara says:
::Suddenly his telepathic powers flash back on like a light bulb.. and he sees what selan sees.. just for a moment::

OPS_TJ says:
::nods to himself::

SO_Nes says:
::wipes away more tears::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Glances over at Lecaran, then back at Selan:: ::To himself:: ~~~~ Oh no you don't... ~~~~ ::Waves his hand, and disappears from not only Lecaran's vision, but Selan's as well, all that Selan hears, is: "I'll be back."::

CSOTsalea says:
<<Looks to CTO Selan. "Selan, there is a part of you that is missing. You WILL eventually find that part. Your care of the ship and her crew has brought security to us. If my demise occurred aboard the Scorpius, in no way are you to blame yourself for my death. Things happen that we have no control over. We can not for see everything, though we may try. For you I wish peace. And when it comes, do not be afraid to grasp it.">>

CTO_Selan says:
::Turns back... partly hearing T'salea's, more worried about this threat that he just may or may not have seen... he is slowly, amazingly, forgetting the occurrence::

CMDMadred says:
::wonders briefly what he is doing here .... if this is the place for him to be ... but his thoughts are overcome by his memories of Tsalea::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Appears on the deck above the Arboretum, still invisible to all, just a Psionic (Telepathic) manifestation::

CSOTsalea says:
<< TO Ian Calder:: That goes for you too Ian. You are not to blame yourself. You are an excellent officer; an asset to this crew. Do not sell yourself short. It has been a privilege to work with you.>>

TO_Calder says:
::looks up quickly at his name::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Rubs his hands together, and looks around:: Let's see what I can "dig up" on this ship...

SO_Nes says:
::gets a nagging sense of dread and begins to scratch her spots::

CSOTsalea says:
<<::tilts her head as she looks at CMO Larn Kostra.:: Doctor, our paths have rarely crossed and then only briefly. Your knowledge of alien physiology has been an asset. You will find instructions in my computer for the reconstitution of Doctor Indy. I am still awaiting for a specific device. It will come 'in the night' when it does. Doctor, it is
hard to lose loved Nes. Be careful what you replace them with.>>

CSOTsalea says:
<<turn toward CEO T'Paula. "T'Paula, I treasure the times we have spent together. There is more to you then you believe. Have confidence in yourself and the work you do." Nods her head at her young friend in respect.>>

CSOTsalea says:
<<EO Tom Kellenway. "Ensign, our paths have not crossed, but you have shared your expertise in keeping the ship in one piece and running smoothly. For that I thank you.>>

CEOTPaula says:
::glances away at the plant life for a moment, then returns her gaze to the hologram::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Slowly makes his way down the corridor, picking thoughts from Ensigns and Lieutenants as they pass by:: Interesting... very very interesting... Starfleet has certainly... "evolved" since the last time I was around.

CSOTsalea says:
<<CNS. Johanna Swift. "It is hard to step into the shoes of another. But that is not what you need to do. You are yourself. Councilor, we all seek something. I hope you discover what it is that you search for.>>

TO_Calder says:
::keeps watching the assembled people, and keeps listening for any disturbances that shouldn't be there::

FCO_Mille says:
::glances over at the captain to see how she is holding up::

CSOTsalea says:
<<Looks carefully at CIV Lecaran. "We must all have limitations. It is what defines who we are and what we can become. It is something we must all accept. It is the wise man who learns this. May you fair well with your ship and the path you have chosen for yourself.">>

CTO_Selan says:
::Stands nervous... "Shinar is either still in my mind... or out there somewhere."::

CSOTsalea says:
<<Holo-Tsalea looks around the room at each of her crewmates whom she had come to consider friends and family. You have honored my with your friendships. Now I ask that you honor me in this request. It would be illogical of me to ask you not to grieve, however, I ask that when you remember me you remember the quiet times we shared.>>

CSOTsalea says:
She raises her hand in the ta'al. "Peace and long life." The holo-Tsalea
fades away along with the last chord.

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Makes his way into another Corridor, and sighs:: This is annoying. ::Closes eyes and concentrates, and soon floats upward, and through the ceiling, then on the the deck above, and then keeps on moving upward::

CMDMadred says:
::drops his head slightly as the message ends ........ ::

Host CO-Alex says:
CMD Madred: Would you like to say a few words?

CTO_Selan says:
::Flinches as T'salea disappears...::

SO_Nes says:
::wipes away more tears and bows her head::

OPS_TJ says:
::looks up, and around at his surroundings, and the people around him::

CMDMadred says:
::looks up at the Captain:: CO: I do have a few things to add ...... but perhaps it would be best for your crew to hear your thoughts.

CIVLecara says:
:: Wonders what she meant about limitations::

Host CO-Alex says:
CMD: They know my thoughts.  They have been said.

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Lifts up and out of the floor of the bridge... and looks around at the "back-up" crew currently working, and flashes his evil grin:: Now... let's see.

OPS_TJ says:
::thinks, Tsalea knew me as well as I know me...::

CMDMadred says:
::stands:: CO: Understood ...... ::moves to the front of the room and addresses the officers::

OPS_TJ says:
::looks up at Madred::

CTO_Selan says:
::Watches Madred... "take the floor"::

SO_Nes says:
::gets that feeling of dread again, the headache worsens::

CMDMadred says:
::glances at the Captain looking out over the crowd, quietly he begins to murmur:: SuvwI'pu' qan tu'lu'be. bogh tlhInganpu', Suv wI'pu' moj, Hegh (In Klingon: There are no old warriors. Klingons are born, live as warriors, then die)

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Walks around the Bridge slowly, observing the crew... scanning their minds with his Telepathic abilities... or rather, Selan's abilities::

Host CO-Alex says:
::nods at the commanders words::

CMDMadred says:
::he keeps his gaze level :: maqock 'Iw JIq yIthlhutih, rolIj HI'ang, ghaH vav SuS neH SoH. Ha'qujnge'. (In Klingon: War buddy, drink the blood wine, show me your fist, and the wind will respect you. Take away the flag)

CIVLecara says:
::Understands every word of Madred's speech::

CMDMadred says:
regh SuvwI'. Doq bIQtIq bIQ. jejjaj tajlIj, jej pach. (In Klingon: The warrior bleeds. The river water is red, may your knife be sharp, and your claw be sharp)

OPS_TJ says:
::wishes he had a translator about now::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Grins, and likes the thoughts that the man at Tac. is thinking about the female at Ops:: Heh heh heh... 

CMDMadred says:
bIQ'a'Dnq' oHtaH' etlh'e'. talmey Dun, bammey Dun. Heghlu'meH QaQ jajuam. (In Klingon: The batleth is in the sky. Great deeds, great songs. It is a good day to die.) ::sighs as he finishes:: All: She who was my companion.  Through good times and through ..... bad is now gone .... forever. ::steps away the tears in his eyes fighting to get out::

CMDMadred says:
::nods at the Captain as he returns to his seat::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Stands next to the man at Tac, and looks at his station, recognizing the Psionic "Trail" left by the actual CTO:: Well well well... Selan's a Chief Tactical Officer.

CEOTPaula says:
::not convinced that T is dead by everyone else's apparent conviction::

Host CO-Alex says:
ALL: We have a "test" drive to make with the S.  Everyone to their stations.

Host FCO_Mille says:
::nods at the CO::

SO_Nes says:
::smiles slightly and stands::

OPS_TJ says:
::still sitting in his seat, in deep thought::

TO_Calder says:
::jumps up and runs out to make it to the armory::

CMDMadred says:
::stops at the door as the officers begin to file out .... hopes to speak with Captain Alexander briefly::

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods at the Captain's orders, and leaves the Arboretum, fearful of Shinar's return, and heads toward the nearest TL:: 

Host CO-Alex says:
::walks over to Madred::CMD: Jafo, I grieve with thee.  We will find T, that I promise.

TO_Calder says:
*Sec Teams, A4-13*, report to armory NOW!

OPS_TJ says:
::looks up at the people around him, filing out, and slowly, numbly, exits the arboretum::

CMDMadred says:
::nods at the Captain not entirely convinced there is anything to find:: CO: I would like to make a request briefly .....

Host FCO_Mille says:
::walks over to the captain::  CO:  How are you holding up?

CEOTPaula says:
::heads for the arboretum's exit::

CIVLecara says:
::Heads into a TL and towards the bridge as per the MO::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Walks over to OPS, and raises an eyebrow at the controls... there is a beep, and the LCARS files are accessed::

SO_Nes says:
::leaves the arboretum, checks her phaser and her knives::

Host CO-Alex says:
CMD: If it is in my power, I will gladly do so.

CMDMadred says:
CO: I was hoping I could be given access to Tsalea's quarters ..... also, I need to find someone named Shasssa.

OPS_TJ says:
::arrives at the bridge, and sits at his console, paying no attention to anything around him::

OPS_TJ says:
::relieves the ensign on duty::

TO_Calder says:
SecA2,3: 2, you are assigned to T'Paula. A3, you are assigned to the SO. GO!

TO_Calder says:
::starts running again::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Retrieves a file on Gul Sur and his band of pirates, and watches as the Ensign at OPS leaves, and the Operations Officer arrives::

CEOTPaula says:
::notices the sec. team and realizes why they're there::

OPS_TJ says:
::drums his fingers on his console, and looks at what the ensign at OPS's been doing::

Host CO-Alex says:
CMD: That I cannot do at this time::streches on her tip toes and whispers into his ear:: We are going out to look for Tsalea.  This cannot be leaked CMD or my career in SF is over.

OPS_TJ says:
::frowns, and suddenly is more alert then before::

TO_Calder says:
*Sec A0* You are assigned to the CO.

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Smiles as the Operations officer takes the Ensigns place... and reads the information in his mind, notices grief about some dead Vulcan... named T'salea::

CIVLecara says:
::Arrives on the bridge::

CMDMadred says:
::frowns:: CO: I understand ..... but what does that have to do with giving me access to Tsalea's quarters .... or with finding Shsssa?

OPS_TJ says:
::downloads the info on what was last accessed. Frowns again.::

Host CO-Alex says:
CMD: We are leaving the SB in 10 minutes.

SO_Nes says:
::exits the TL and walks to the sci station::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Realizes that OPS saw the info on the screen... ignores him, and reads up on the current threat that he remembers from Selan's memories::

TO_Calder says:
*Sec A1* You are assigned to the XO when he returns. In the mean time, you are assigned to the Bridge.

CIVLecara says:
::Stands by the command chair::

Host CO-Alex says:
::puts her arm into the commanders and begins walking to the TL with him::

TO_Calder says:
::arrives in the armory with most of the sec people already there::

Host CO-Alex says:
*FCO*: Jared, get clearance for the base and let's get out of here.

Host FCO_Mille says:
::arrives on the bridge::

TO_Calder says:
A5: You are assigned to the FCO. Take your position.

Host FCO_Mille says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.

Host CO-Alex says:
CMD: Thank you, and I will keep you updated on any information we find.

TO_Calder says:
A6: You are assigned to the Chief OPS officer. Go now.

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Looks up and sees Selan enter the Bridge:: Oh goody. ::Turns to TJ, gives him a pat on the back that he knows that TJ won't feel:: OPS: I'll be back. ::Walks over to Selan::

CMDMadred says:
::nods to the Captain and stops walking with her finding his own way back to the shuttle bay::

CEOTPaula says:
::looks over a status report and finds nothing disastrous has happened in her absence::

OPS_TJ says:
::glances over his PADD, then swings around, and locks out his console, leaving control only to his authorization::

SO_Nes says:
::notices Selan's reaction to something that's not there::

Host FCO_Mille says:
OPS:  Do we have clearance?

OPS_TJ says:
::looks at his console:: aye

CTO_Selan says:
::Thinks:: ~~~~Shinar: What are you doing.~~~~

Host CO-Alex says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::

OPS_TJ says:
Captain: I need a word with you. As soon as possible.

Host FCO_Mille says:
All:  Captain on the bridge.

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Smiles his evil grin as the Captain arrives, ignoring Selan's question:: What have we here...

CIVLecara says:
:: Is wondering what that apparition he saw before was::

SO_Nes says:
::nods::

Host CO-Alex says:
OPS: What is it?

CMDMadred says:
::the misery washes over him ..... he had been hoping to gain some closure by finding Shsssa and recovering Tsalea's Lyrette ..... but he has failed.  Enters the Shuttle bay and moves to his shuttle::

Host FCO_Mille says:
::releases docking clamps::

OPS_TJ says:
CO: I may be over reacting, Captain, but I think there's a problem...

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> Is this the Captain Alexander that I've heard so much about?

Host CO-Alex says:
OPS: What problem is that?

CMDMadred says:
::steps into his shuttle with a nod to the shuttle coordinator and begins the preflight::

TO_Calder says:
A7: You are assigned to the EO. When he returns. until then, you are assigned to engineering.

OPS_TJ says:
CO: This information was accessed, without proper authorization...::hands her a PADD::

CTO_Selan says:
::Thinks:: ~~~~Shinar: You don't know anything about her. You're part of my mind...~~~~

Host CO-Alex says:
FCO: Take her out.

Host FCO_Mille says:
CO:  Aye.

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Normally I wouldn't even bring it up, but...::his voice trails off::

SO_Nes says:
::explains to Scott what needs to be done and tells him about the eulogy service::

CMDMadred says:
*OPS*: Operations, this is the shuttle Genard requesting clearance to depart .......

Host FCO_Mille says:
::engages impulse engines::

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Turns to Selan:: Exactly! And I know everything you know... well, almost everything... there is some memories that I can't access... but I hope that's a problem that I will address in the near future.

Host CO-Alex says:
OPS: Can you tell who accessed the information?

OPS_TJ says:
::doesn't see the incoming message on his console::

OPS_TJ says:
::shakes his head:: CO: ::frowns:: That's just it. I can't. It certainly wasn't an officer though...

Host CO-Alex says:
FCO: You know the course, as soon as we have cleared go to warp 4.

Host FCO_Mille says:
CO:  Yes ma'am!

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> Selan: I am everything you fear. Everything you want to suppress... I'm more you than you realize... and that's what worries you.

TO_Calder says:
A8-A13: Roaming. Keep an eye on any access points to the ship, transporters, shuttlebays, etc.

OPS_TJ says:
::lowers his voice:: CO: We may have an intruder...

CMDMadred says:
::receievs approval from a Junior Operations Officer and sets his shuttle in motion leaving the Scorpius's shuttle bay::

CTO_Selan says:
~~~~Shinar: Leave this ship. Leave my crew... my friends alone.~~~~

Host CO-Alex says:
CTO: Weapons status?

OPS_TJ says:
::hops he's not just paranoid::

Host CO-Alex says:
OPS: Notify security and begin a sweep.

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* Sir, security teams are dispatched.

Host FCO_Mille says:

OPS_TJ says:
::nods, and heads over to the CTO::

CMDMadred says:
@::sets a course back to the Geneva and engages the shuttles warp engines as soon as he is clear of the Scorpius' Warp Field:: Self: So close ..... and yet so far ......

SO_Nes says:
::notices the headache is almost gone::

TO_Calder says:
::exits the armory, with some extra rifles, and makes his way to the bridge::

OPS_TJ says:
CTO: I need your help with a... a problem

CEOTPaula says:
::watches status of engines change to reflect engagement of warp drive::

Host CO-Alex says:
CEO: How do the engines feel T'Paula?

CTO_Selan says:
::Ignores Shinar, and walks up to the Tac station, and checks the weapons status:: CO: All weapons are operational, in exception for three phaser arrays, that still have yet to be repaired. ::Turns to TJ:: OPS: What may I assist you with? 

CTO_Selan says:
::Ignores Shinar who continues to walk around the Bridge, studying it, growing more and more worried by the moment::

Host FCO_Mille says:
::begins running diagnostics::

OPS_TJ says:
CTO: ::whispers:: I believe we have an intruder. A few moments before I took control of OPS, some information, was taken from our memory banks, and downloaded...

Host CO-Alex says:
FCO: Can you come here for a moment?

OPS_TJ says:
::continues:: On Gul Sur...::takes in a deep breath::

TO_Calder says:
::arrives on the bridge. Notes the security officers::

SO_Nes says:
::helps Scott with the sensors::

Host FCO_Mille says:
::nods and walks over to the captain::

CEOTPaula says:
*CO*: We could have used some more time at the SB, but they are holding up well.

TO_Calder says:
::waits for the CTO and OPS to finish before reporting::

CIVLecara says:
::Senses distress and automatically enables his Phe'Larr's phaser mode.. and then notices that he did it with out actually touching it.. this is starting to scare him::

OPS_TJ says:
CTO: I have all of the information, and displayed memory files on this PADD...

Host FCO_Mille says:
CO:  Yes ma'am, what is it?

CTO_Selan says:
::Keeps calm at TJ's information... but inside is slightly worried... and glances beyond TJ at Shinar who throws him a grin::

OPS_TJ says:
CTO: Hmm? What are you looking at?

Host CO-Alex says:
<Whispers>FCO: Jared, I want communication problems in 5 minutes.  Please see to it that TJ knows what to do.

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Shrugs, and turns away, looking at the Captain and the Flight Control Officer::

OPS_TJ says:
::turns around, and looks behind him::

CTO_Selan says:
OPS: Hm... nothing, sorry. ::Takes the PADD from TJ, and studies it::

Host FCO_Mille says:
::nods::

CTO_Selan says:
OPS: This is a problem... since Mr. Calder already has Security roaming the ship... I shall have them aprised of it.

OPS_TJ says:
::raises an eyebrow:: I see... have you had your appointment with the counselor yet? ::doubts it::

OPS_TJ says:
CTO: Thank you. ::walks back to his console::

CEOTPaula says:
::makes a minor adjustment to increase efficiency::

OPS_TJ says:
::sits down, and worries for a minute, before he runs a diagnostic on his console::

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods at OPS, and turns to Tac, growing more and more worried by the moment:: ~~~~Shinar: Why did you take information from the LCARS system.~~~~

Host FCO_Mille says:
OPS:  Are we still having problems with our communication systems?  ::grins::

Host CO-Alex says:
FCO:  Is there still an ion trail out there to follow?

OPS_TJ says:
::makes sure that his console is locked out::

CIVLecara says:
CO: Captain so I assume we are going to find our.. absent crew person ::Not wanting to alarm anyone and alert the SB to their actions::

Host FCO_Mille says:
CO:  Yes ma'am, we're on course.

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Changes topic:: ~~~~Selan: Isn't it a wonder that you are speaking telepathically? You had thought you powers were gone... well they are. But I've given you the chance to use whatever remains of them in your mind.~~~~ 

OPS_TJ says:
::pauses for a moment:: no... we are... Oh, I see... Yessir, I think our transmitter relay just went down... whatta shame... could take a while to fix...

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Lt JG Calder reporting, sir.

Host CO-Alex says:
CIV: Yes we are.

Host CO-Alex says:
::chuckles at the conversation between the FCO and OPS::

Host FCO_Mille says:
OPS:  And I'm sure that will be your top priority.  ::grins::

CTO_Selan says:
::Turns to Calder:: TO: Mr. Calder, achem... ::Glances toward Shinar for a moment, trailing off. Shinar is floating off the ground now, his eyes glowing brighter than ever:: ... um, Mr. Wilkens believes that there may be an intruder on board. Who accessed this file... ::Hands Calder the PADD::

OPS_TJ says:
::reaches under his console, and plucks a small wire from under his cosole::

OPS_TJ says:
FCO: Understood.

Host CO-Alex says:
SO: Shania, any idea what system if this course holds true that we could be heading for?

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Floats above the floor for a few moments, and flies over to the Science station, and lands, looking at it's current scans:: Well... I'll be damned. They are actually going after the Vulcan girl...

Host FCO_Mille says:
OPS:  I would help, but as you can see, I have so much work to do.  ::drums his fingers across his console::

OPS_TJ says:
::opens a channel:: Juarez: We have a, umm, problem. Our transmitter relay just... umm, shut down. Fix it please... when you have time... I mean, don't rush or anything...

TO_Calder says:
::takes the PADD, looks at it:: CTO: Hmm... You alright, sir?

SO_Nes says:
CO: No captain, I'll have to check

OPS_TJ says:
FCO: Yes, I see. I'll see what I can do... but we may need a new isolenear complex...

Host CO-Alex says:
::nods at the SO::

CTO_Selan says:
::Is distant for a moment, then hears Calder, and rubs his eyes:: TO: Yes. I have not been getting... much sleep lately.

Host CO-Alex says:
OPS: Do we have shields?

Host FCO_Mille says:
OPS:  Just our luck.

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Sir. I'll get on this. Would you like me to take over here for you?

OPS_TJ says:
::nods.:: all set, Captain

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Telekinetically presses buttons on the console... smiles at the fact that Selan never had this power before, and wonders where he got it from::

Host CO-Alex says:
OPS: Go to yellow alert please.

OPS_TJ says:
::fakes a sigh:: I know...

CTO_Selan says:
TO: At Tactical?

SO_Nes says:
::notices the sensor problems can't be fixed on the bridge, sends Scott to sensor maintenance::

OPS_TJ says:
::nods, and adjusts his controls::

TO_Calder says:
*Sec Alpha,Beta* ::quietly:: We have a possible security alert. Intruder. Alpha team, maintain patrol. Beta, go to active status and look. 

Host CO-Alex  (Yellow Alert.wav)

CTO_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Reads information on Earth, Vulcan, Bajor, and other planets in the Federation:: Interesting... by the moment.

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Yes, sir. It would give you a chance to get some rest.

Host FCO_Mille says:
::walks over to the captain::  CO:  What's this about a possible intruder?

Host CO-Alex says:
CTO: Go get some rest.  TO take over his station please.

CTO_Selan says:
::Takes in a breath:: TO: That is all right, Lieutenant. I will handle Tactical for now...  concentrate on the possible intruder.

OPS_TJ says:
::rechecks his console's security protocols::

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods at the Captain, and leaves Tac, as Shinar follows::
