OPS_Mushgrave says:
::At the operations console.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke>  ::working in the JTs with his team::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::sitting in the big chair, waiting... something he hates to do::
CTO_Shoarra says:
::Entering the bridge, quite concerned about the CEO::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::on ME, still surveying the damage done::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::pulls off an access panel and dives into the innards of the ship like a surgeon doing open-heart massage::
CSO_Biishe says:
@ ::On the shuttle, quietly letting the FCO do his job.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Status on the shuttle
CTO_Shoarra says:
::goes to Tactical, relieving the beta officer::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::the debris had already been taken away, along with all the injured...
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::repair crews where already at work on the damaged areas.::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  She is going slow and steady Sir...  I've detected no problems.  ::Taps her console once again... trying to raise Kieren::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> *OPS*: Burke...  ::he sounds distracted::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CEO:  Kieren, everything all right...  You are scarring me?  I'm getting calls from your crew.
CSO_Biishe says:
@::Her eyes slowly go through the data.::  Hmmm... FCO:  Talk about new.  This sun is only 100,000 - 150,000 years old.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> *OPS*: No... no they aren't.    ::touches a hot line and pulls his hand back, cursing loudly::
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Check in with the XO as well, see how things are going down below
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods satisfyingly as he watches the repair crews at work..::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: Anything in the area?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Hears him curse then hears the Capt.::  CO:  Aye Sir... CEO:  Give me a few and I'll be right down.  ::Taps her comm. panel again.::  *XO*:  Cmdr, Capt is looking for a status report.  How are things?
CTO_Shoarra says:
::checks sensors again before answering::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*OPS* : Well, things are progressing... Slowly, but they are progressing.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
*XO*:  I'll pass that on Sir.  Mushgrave out.
CSO_Biishe says:
@ ::Passes the information onto the ship.::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  Cmdr Amendoeira says everything is progressing albeit slowly.
CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Nothing new Sir.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke>  ::reaches back in and is able to reroute the line he was going for.::  EO1: Head down to junction B23 and see if you can bypass the distribution subroutine for this area.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO: Permission to leave the bridge Sir?
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets a report form one of the people in charge of the repair teams::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO/OPS: Very well...  
CSO_Biishe says:
@FCO:  ETA to the third planet?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Stands up and turns her station over to Munson.::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*OPS* : All right.. Just got an update.. Looks like the damage isn't as bad as they thought initially... They will be roughly repaired in 30 minutes.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
<Munson>  *XO*:  Understood Sir.  30 Minutes.  Have a nice day.  ::Smiles::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
<Munson>  CO: The Cmdr says the damage is not as bad as first reported.. it will be roughly another 30 minutes for repairs.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO_Burke> EO2: I'm going back to ME to finish the calibration, you keep at those conduits over there and get them changed over.  ::with that, he started back out of the JT::
Host CO_Bafii says:
Munson: Excellent.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Enters the TL off the left side of the bridge.::  Computer:  Take me to Lt. Burkes location.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
*CEO*:  Kieren, where are you?
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO_Burke> *OPS*: On my way back to ME
CSO_Biishe says:
@<FCO> ::Glances down at his control.::  CMO: One hour.
CSO_Biishe says:
@FCO:  Thanks.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
*CEO*:  I'll meet you there.  Computer:  Belay last location... engineering please.
CTO_Shoarra says:
::continues scanning, then pulls up any available information on weapons and flight abilities for the species relative to the area::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::stands and turns towards Tactical::  CTO: Since we have 30 minutes... might be a good time for a tactical drill. 
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::watches as the CEO reaches ME:: CEO : Chief... How go things?
CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Ship wide Sir?  I've had drills running with off duty personnel in the holodeck.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Feels the TL stop and exits.  Makes her way down to engineering.::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::smiles down at the Captain::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::moves over to a console and begins typing::  XO: No problems so far...
Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: Alter the program to make them think the sim has ended due to a real crisis.  ::smiles a bit wickedly::  
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CEO : SO you've got everything under control down here?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Reaches engineering and as the doors slide open she enters and looks around for Kieren.  She nods at the XO.::
CTO_Shoarra says:
CTO: Aye Sir.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::nods as he continues to stoically work::
CTO_Shoarra says:
::taps into the holodeck controls and begins changing the perimeters of the scenario::
Host Rich says:
Action: The red alert klaxons goes off and light start flashing.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: What is it?  ::turns back towards the view screen::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods, but still approaches the CEO, putting one hand on his shoulder:: CEO : If you ever need to talk about what happened... I've been through the same... ::retrieves his hand, and turns to go to a Turbo Lift::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns, and starts running for the TL::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::turns his head and watches the XO leave::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Hears the Klaxons and moves to the nearest console.::  *Munson*:  Munson what is going on?
CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Checking sir. ::searches the sensors for the cause of the red alert::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> Aloud: What now?!?     
OPS_Mushgrave says:
<Munson> *OPS*:  We are determining now Ma'am.
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::reaches the TL:: TL : Bridge.
CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: I don't have anything on sensors.  Checking computer records for the cause of the alert.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Munson: Make sure the shuttle is safe
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CEO:  Kieren.. Munson says they are trying to determine the cause now...  ::Moves over to him and looks straight in his eyes.::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::reaches the bridge::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
<Munson> ::Checks her console::  CO:   Shuttle is fine Sir.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::there is a great deal of pain held in his eyes, he looks into hers for a moment but then has to turn away before he can't control himself anymore::  OPS: Check the plasma system... please

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::moves to the command area, with an inquisitive look directed at the CO::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CEO:  Are you sure you ok?  ::Moves and does what he asks.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
Aloud: Then what the hell is going on?
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns, realizing that the CO is as confused as him::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Shakes at the sight of what she saw in his eyes.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::waiting impatiently for some sort of answer::
CSO_Biishe says:
@::Sings quietly,  under her breath as she goes through the data coming in.::
CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Diagnostics show a short in my console sir.  I believe it's safe to disconnect the red alert and I'll get this thing fixed.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Quickly goes over the plasma system::  CEO:  Kieren after this latest crises is over I would like you to come with me ok?
CTO_Shoarra says:
::reaches down and pulls the panel cover off of her console::
CSO_Biishe says:
@::Stops singing and looks through the data again.::  Hmmm...
Host CO_Bafii says:
::grumbles:: CTO: Then secure from red alert, but get that fixed immediately.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> OPS: Go where?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CEO:  Anywhere just so we can talk…..  I'm worried about you.  ::Double checks one of the isolinear chips.::
CSO_Biishe says:
@::Looks over at the FCO's look of curiosity.::  FCO:  Seems we are not alone...  ::reaches over and activates communications.::
CSO_Biishe says:
*CO*:  Captain?
CTO_Shoarra says:
::cancels the red alert then squats down to look inside the console::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::steals a look at Julie and doesn't say anything, just shares a moment and watches at the klaxons die::
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: Go ahead
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Smiles a reassuring smile at him but continues to work quickly.::
CSO_Biishe says:
@*CO*:  I am picking up humanoid life form from the third planet.  Does that mean that three is still a lucky number?
CTO_Shoarra says:
::pulls the small repair kit down from the panel's side and sets to work::
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: Were you not expecting life there?
Host CO_Bafii says:
::motions to the XO to see if he can confirm::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Takes a deep breath.::  CEO:  Looks like you plasma system is working.  ::dusts her hands off on her pant legs.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke>  ::nods:: OPS: Looks like everything else is just about fixed.  I'm going to bring impulse back online.  Monitor for any surges?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Turns back to the console.::  CEO:  I'm ready.
CSO_Biishe says:
@*CO*:  Actually... No.  This system is way to young to have higher life forms evolved yet.  Some simple fish, non-flowering plants... perhaps some reptiles and of  course insects, but not this.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke>  ::brings impulse drive back online::
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: Can you determine if the life forms are terrestrial?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Watches the panel lights surge as the drive comes back online.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: See if you can finds signs of any other ships having been through this system.
CTO_Shoarra says:
::finds a faulty memory chip::
CSO_Biishe says:
@*CO*:  I need to get closer.  We should be within SRS any minute now.  And another fact.  This planet has three moons, two of which have an oxygen atmosphere.
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::moves to the Science station::
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: Understood...  coordinate with the XO.  We should be able to rejoin you soon.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> OPS: That should do it.
CSO_Biishe says:
@*CO*:  Understood.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Nods:: CEO:  Yep it’s looking good.  How about Warp?
CTO_Shoarra says:
::gets down on her belly to reach the chip at the very back of the console::
CSO_Biishe says:
@~~~~XO:  Are you busy?~~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke>  OPS: Warp wasn't affected... just impulse.  That should bring us back to full function.
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::smiles:: ~~~CSO : Not really.. Just trying to confirm your readings from here.. Trouble is, we’re too far..~~
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Steps back from the console::  CEO:  Ok then that should do it.  ::Walks over and grabs his arm and pulls him into his office.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> *XO*: Impulse drive restored.  ::as he is pulled::
CSO_Biishe says:
@~~~~XO:  How much longer before the ship is up and running?  Basically, when will you catch up to us?~~~~
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: *CEO* : Thank you chief... CO : Sir.. We have impulse back.
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : Looks like we're going to start heading your way...~~~
CTO_Shoarra says:
::catches her arm on the corner of a rack of computer chips::

Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: Excellent.   FCO: Set an intercept course with the shuttle and engage.
CTO_Shoarra says:
Self: Ouch....::mutters to herself as she removes the faulty chip::
CSO_Biishe says:
@~~~~CSO: Good... when you do...  Wait a moment.~~~~
CSO_Biishe says:
@FCO:  That is not what I think it is it?  Bring us to a stop.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Once in the office she drops his arm.  Turning to look at him, she has compassion in her eyes.::  CEO:  It's not your fault Kieren...  ::Breaks her heart to see him in pain.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<NPC FCO> CO: Aye.  ::engages::  ETA: 10 minutes.
CSO_Biishe says:
@ ::Her fingers tap across her console as she looks at what she is seeing, informing the FCO as she goes.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::the emotion starting to leak through::  OPS: How can you say that?  Of course it was my fault!
CTO_Shoarra says:
::puts the new chip in and succeeds in scraping the back of her hand on the chip rack:: Self: Stupid little.....
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Resists the urge to touch him... knowing he needs to get this out.::  CEO:  Easy... I think I know you... why would you think that this was your fault?  Did you start the fire that burned your crewmen?
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: ~~~CSO : What's up, Auri?~~~
CSO_Biishe says:
@ ~~~~XO:  We must be coming up on some kind of a colony.  That is the only thing that explains any of this.  I am picking up radar signals.  Too faint to pick us up were we are at now.  They only extend as far as the first moon.~~~~
CTO_Shoarra says:
::puts the repair kit back the pushes up to her knees::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> OPS: I didn't prevent it... that's my job, to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen and I failed... I failed them... I failed everyone.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::waits, knowing he will feel better once they have the shuttle back aboard::
CSO_Biishe says:
@::Listens to the FCO as he points something out.::  FCO:  Your correct.
CTO_Shoarra says:
::replaces the panel::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Grabs his arms and looks at him::  CEO:  You failed nobody... you are not god nor are you clairvoyant.  We can't predict everything little thing that is going to happen.  If you had walked into that fire you would be dead too...then I would have to kill you for it for putting me through your death.
CSO_Biishe says:
@~~~~ XO:  It appears the life forms are congregated in a general location of a 12 Kilometer radius near the equator on a single land mass.  There appears to be about 500,000 of them.~~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::the anger subsiding a bit, the sorrow starts to come forward, but the Kieren pulls back, a wall coming up in his eyes::  OPS: I... I can't do this now...  too much...  ::takes a breath::  Repairs...

CTO_Shoarra says:
::stands up and runs a diagnostic on the console::
CSO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Go ahead and take us closer, but do no further then the outer orbit of the first moon.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<NPC FCO> Aloud: Rendezvous in 4 minutes.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CEO:  Which you have a mighty fine crew who can deal with it....but I do need to get to the bridge again... ::knows he is closing off on her but she is not letting him off that easy.::  I'll come for you after shift... I've got a 200 yr old bottle of whiskey in my quarters. I think this is the perfect time to drink it.  We can wake you crew and give them a send off they won't forget.
CSO_Biishe says:
@ ~~~~XO:  I am picking up radio and television signals now.  Give me a moment and I will see what I can pick up from them.~~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke>  ::simply nods::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Gets up on her tiptoes and wraps her arms around him.:: CEO: Don't you worry, I'll get you through this.... ::Hugs him hard.::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Just as quickly she hurries out of his office and engineering.::
CTO_Shoarra says:
::Diagnostic shows the all clear::
CTO_Shoarra says:
::smiles:: Self: Good.
Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::watches her go and then sets himself back to work::
Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: When we arrive, have the shuttle come back aboard.
CSO_Biishe says:
@ ~~~~XO: English.  It is mostly in English with a smattering of French.  As for the general content... ummm... seems to be around twenty to twenty-first century, which fits with the technology.~~~~
CTO_Shoarra says:
::steps around her console and goes to the Captain:: CO: Here's the cause of our Red Alert Sir. ::holds out the faulty chip:: You wanna step on it or should I? ::grins::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Reaches the TL and the doors slide open and enters.::  Computer:  Bridge.  ::The TL begins to move.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns:: CTO: Feel free.  ::smiles::
CTO_Shoarra says:
::palms the chip and heads back to her console::
Host CO_Bafii says:
<NPC FCO> CO: We've arrived.
CTO_Shoarra says:
::"accidentally" drops the chip and steps on it, crushing it, on her way back to work::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods::  *CSO*: Bring your shuttle aboard and report  to the bridge..
CSO_Biishe says:
@<FCO> CSO:  The ship will be in range of us in about a minute.
CSO_Biishe says:
@::Nods with a smile::  FCO:  Short minute.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Feeling the TL stop and the doors open, she exits onto the bridge.  Goes to her console as Munson gets up and takes her seat.::

CSO_Biishe says:
@ *CSO*:  We will be there shortly.  ::Nods for him to proceed.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Let me know when they are aboard.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Gets comfortable:: CO:  Aye Sir... monitoring them now.
CTO_Shoarra says:
::picks up the broken pieces:: Self: Now, I wonder how that happened. ::grins and goes back to work::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
*CSO*:  Cmdr, you are cleared for shuttle bay 2.
CTO_Shoarra says:
::starts scanning the area and the planet carefully::
CSO_Biishe says:
@  *OPS*:  Thank you.
CSO_Biishe says:
@ ::While the FCO takes them in, she turns around to download her data onto a padd and gather her gear.::
CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: I see some radar detection equipment on sensors.  But, I find no trace of weapons pointed toward space.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: Make sure we stay hidden.    
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Listening to the comms...she giggles at some of the jokes coming from the planet...  Grinning she figures she must have picked up the radio and TV signals.::  CO: Capt, I'm picking up Radio and TV stations... they  have some good jokes....  Oh  Cmdr Biishe is back on board.
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : Alright... Enough is enough.. Start making your way back to the Paula Greene...~~~
CSO_Biishe says:
::Chuckles::  ~~~~XO:  You are too late.  We just landed.  We will be up in a moment.~~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: When the CSO returns to the bridge I want an update on what we've found here.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Waiting for the FCO to shut down, she stands and moves toward the door.::
CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Aye Sir.
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : Aurora.. Do I need to remind you of the Prime Directive?~~~
CSO_Biishe says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: ~~~~XO:  What brought that up?~~~~  ::As FCO joins her, they head out of the shuttle bay.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::unhappy with this turn of events... their simple little survey mission just got a whole lot more complicated::
Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : Well, why did you land?~~~
CSO_Biishe says:
::Turns around to face forward as the doors close them into the turbo lift::  Computer, bridge.
CTO_Shoarra says:
::sets to determine the range of the planetary radar::
CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  You wanted me back on the ship, yes?~~~~ ::Chuckles::
CSO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Must be a colonist, but one that has not advanced far and must have lost contact with Earth.
