::In his RR, just finishing up some research::
CEO_Li says:
::Gets up from his seat in his office.  He walks over to the MSD and logs in.:: Self: Let's see how things are going... ::He taps on the console.:: We should be there soon... ::He reaches up to scratch his head.:: I think.
CNS_Pren says:
::Is seated on the Bridge, his eyes closed as he consorts with Pren::
FCO_Shilos says:
::Slowing the ship on the edge of the Incaka system:: XO: We have arrived at the edge of the system
CTO_Malorn says:
:: On the bridge at tactical checking for vessel contacts and monitoring reports from his security personnel on patrol in the ship ::
XO_Nash says:
:: On the bridge watching space go by and notices a relay station coming slowly into view.:: *All*: Status Report.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::On the bridge, chewing his gum, clicking his tongue at his scratched-up nails, as he brings up a map of the region, with the gravimetric shear plotted out in front of the ship::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
*XO*:  What's our status Cmdr.?
XO_Nash says:
*CO*: Just asked for it.
CEO_Li says:
::Looks up at the Master Situation Monitor.  Then looks over some read-outs on his console.:: *XO*: All systems fully operational sir.
XO_Nash says:
*CO*: Just asked for it, sir
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Commander no vessel contacts, security patrols report all clear throughout the ship
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
*XO*:  How soon before we reach the system?
Host SMSteve says:
<Relay Station> COM: USS Paula Greene: This is relay station Neutrino to USS Paula Greene, we have you on sensors on final approach.  Downloading flight path now.  Can you please inform us of the ship's exact inertial mass so the station can adjust thrusters??
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
XO: No problems here, but I'm watching the gravimetric effects on the ship very closely. If, like, we come across any problems, you'll be the first to know, sir!
XO_Nash says:
*CO*: Approaching station now and getting the download from it, sir.
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Sir incoming message from relay station putting it through now.
XO_Nash says:
CTO: Acknowledged.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
*XO*:  Understood.  I'm on my way.  ::sets his work aside, gets up and heads toward the door::
XO_Nash says:
CSO: Appreciated.
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Opens the comm channel so the XO can speak with the relay station :: XO: You are on the channel now sir
FCO_Shilos says:
::Pulls the flight path off the comm and examines it disapprovingly shaking her head::
CEO_Li says:
::Looks over the ships sensors and takes a peak at the station.:: Self: She's pretty big. ::He grins then closes the sensors and goes back to performing his duties.::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Exits his RR, steps out onto the bridge and heads for his chair::
XO_Nash says:
COM: <Relay Station> This is Commander Nash of the Paula Greene. Our mass is about 4,502,463 metric tons give or take.
CNS_Pren says:
::Opens his eyes as the CO returns and nods to him::
FCO_Shilos says:
::Turns to see the captain enter the bridge:: All: Captain on deck.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Looks up, and quickly checks his own screen and calculations:: Self: What do you know, he's right...
XO_Nash says:
:: Gets up and moves to his seat as the Captain approaches.:: CO: Your seat, sir.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
All:  As you were.  XO:  Thank you Cmdr.  ::looks over and returns the nod to the CNS and has a seat::
Host SMSteve says:
<Relay Station> COM: XO: Understood Commander, but the closer the mass is the easier time they have adjusting their holding thrusters.  That should be sufficient, though.  Silk Road has reported their mass as well, you are clear to approach the station.  Hope you brought some nice entertainment programs along with you, though.  ::Laughs.::
CEO_Li says:
::He  looks at the gravimetric readings coming from the system and boosts power to the Inertial Dampening Systems and Structural Integrity Fields.::  *FCO*: I've increased power availability to the SIF and IDF, but you have the controls.  Li out. ::He looks over the readings again and starts to perform simulations.::
FCO_Shilos says:
::Examines the updated flight plan and nods still not happy about turning the ship over to a completely computer made plan::*CEO* Much appreciated, I hope that I will let you know before I need them.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Brings up the information sent over on his console and looks it over::
XO_Nash says:
COM: <Relay Station>: Understood, and I hope your trying to make us feel better about your little entertainment park here.
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Notice the changes in the SIF and IDF, makes adjustments in power allocations to keep all systems at optimal ::
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Watches as the ship approaches the station... and yawns, as the ship begins to navigate the gravimetric shear, as they approach the station:: Self: All this bureaucratic stuff, sheesh... just stick the ship into a warp bubble, and coast our way through...
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CNS:  And how are you today Counselor?
CEO_Li says:
::He nods at Shilos' communiqué and starts to closely monitor the ships structural integrity as he watches the read-outs of his simulation.:: Self: We should be able to handle it... ::He looks closer at the simulation.  After it ends he looks over the data, then enters in more stressful values and starts the simulation again.::
CNS_Pren says:
CO: I'm well, thank you. Pren says, 'hello'.
FCO_Shilos says:
::Inputs the commands into the helm:: XO: Ready to engage sir.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Nods::  CNS:  Send Pren my regards.
CNS_Pren says:
CO: You just did. ::smiles::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Chuckles::  CNS:  So I did!
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Giggles at the CNS' words:: CNS: What a weird symbiosis. Have you checked your isoboramine levels recently? ::winks::
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Thinks that perhaps the CNS received defective worm in the deal, never saw a Trill that had to talk in two different tenses ::
XO_Nash says:
FCO: Engage course. :: Looks to the Captain.::
Host SMSteve says:
<Relay Station> COM: XO: What can I say?  We came with a bunch of programs, but they got old.  Anyway, docking port 13 has been prepared for your arrival.
CEO_Li says:
::He smiles as the simulations he's performing are going as well as they did before.  He orders his Engineer's to their structural repair stations, wanting them to be in place before they're needed.:: Self: Ok... ::He takes a deep breath and then says a quick short prayer to The Prophets.::
CNS_Pren says:
::Looks back to the CSO and CTO:: CSO/CTO: Pren and I never actually achieved full symbiosis. It would have killed us; my brain wouldn't accept the memories. It's only through working with him as a separate entity that it works out. I'd love to see what his next host thinks of this lifetime.. alas..
Host SMSteve says:
<Silk Road> COM: Paula Greene: Paula Greene, this is the Silk Road, we have received our flight path and docking assignment and will follow you in.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Looks over and nods to the XO::
FCO_Shilos says:
::Nods and presses the engage button changing from a controlling situation to an observing situation::
FCO_Shilos says:
XO: Aye sir.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Giggles:: CNS: That's so cute! That's like talking to yourself, except you're not crazy!
XO_Nash says:
COM: <Relay Station>: We are moving in now.
COM: <Silk Road>: Moving in to docking port 13 now.
CNS_Pren says:
CSO: Some people find it unsettling when they catch me talking into my own chest.. I find it amusing, personally.
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Sir the Silk Road confirms transmission of flight path and docking assignment, they will follow us in
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CSO:  You sure he's not?  ::grins::
CNS_Pren says:
::Chuckles:: CO: I do have a readily available second opinion...
XO_Nash says:
CTO: Thank you. And advise the Silk Road to enjoy the ride in.
CTO_Malorn says:
CNS: I have enough problems with my own memories I do not need someone else’s in my head
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
CO: True, all us initiates are a little crazy, crazy to go through the torture and pain by the Commission's hands, sir. Oh, and incidentally, the station has plotted the course well, we are traveling well through the system.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Chuckles::  CNS:  That's right...how convenient for you!
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Aye sir.  COM: Silk Road: Our XO acknowledges your transmission and says "enjoy the ride" , Paula Greene out
CNS_Pren says:
CTO: That's exactly how my own mind felt.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CSO:  Thank you for the update Lt.
FCO_Shilos says:
::Smiles as the Paula Greene easily clears a tight hairpin split S turn:: XO: ETA three minutes and counting.
CEO_Li says:
::He sidesteps and brings up the sensor readings of the station and the ship as the come in close proximity.  Being satisfied with what he's seeing, he moves back to his normal station.  He shakes his head as he talks:: Self: Never really liked automated dockings... ::He brings up his normal consoles on the 4 screens of the MSD.::
CNS_Pren says:
CO: The question is.. can you trust me to give you Pren's opinion honestly? ::smiles::
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Monitors sensors ::
XO_Nash says:
FCO: Acknowledged.:: Looks in wonder at the view screen.::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Looks over at the CNS and concentrates a moment::  CNS:  I believe I can.  ::grins::
FCO_Shilos says:
::Feels the gentle sway as the ship makes her graceful turns and arcs than slightly increases power to the Inertial dampening fields:: XO: ETA is one minute...mark.
XO_Nash says:
FCO: So far so good.
Host SMSteve says:
Action: The Station ahead appears to be a hybrid, with disks from typical starbases attached to a central core that has the remains of an Excelsior class hull built into it.  Behind it is a black mass, from which the huge gravity well in the system comes.
FCO_Shilos says:
:Looks up as the Paula Greene clears the last of the shallows...erm shears, and comes into line with the station's docking facility::
CNS_Pren says:
CO: Well, if anyone should trust his or her feelings, it'd certainly be you.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
All: Wow... now that's impressive.
CEO_Li says:
::Being curious and cautious he brings up the scanners on his main display.  He scan's the SS Silk Road to check on it's structural integrity.:: Self: Hmmm...
XO_Nash says:
All: Would you look at that. :: Looks at the view screen.::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CNS:  You sure about that?  ::grins::
Host SMSteve says:
Action: Flying around between the station and the Black Hole are a small group of vessels that look vaguely like solar sail ships, but upon closer examination appear to be modified work bees.  They seem to be flying a cyclical flight path around the system.
CNS_Pren says:
::Pauses as though in concentration:: CO: That I am. ::taps his nose conspiratorially, smiling:: 
CTO_Malorn says:
Aloud: That is reassuring, we as docking with a station made of recycled parts
FCO_Shilos says:
::Looks at the station than whispers to herself, "All that glitters is not gold.":: XO: On final approach to docking port thirteen.
CNS_Pren says:
CTO: My thoughts exactly.
CTO_Malorn says:
CNS: What next?? A crew of Pakled?
XO_Nash says:
FCO: Noted. 
CTO: I was referring to the gravity well.
CEO_Li says:
::He sees that the SS Silk Roads' structural integrity is being stressed but is well within limits; he becomes a bit concerned.:: Self: I hope... ::He scans their SIF and IDS systems.:: Looks like they have. ::He smiles.::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Looks over at the CNS, smiles and shakes his head....before looking up at the view screen::
Host SMSteve says:
Action: Outside of the almost constant burst of thrusters, nearly 90% of the station appears empty.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
CTO: Oh, that's not very fair... I once worked with a Pakled astrophysicist... he wasn't very bright, but he was still an astrophysicist. But doesn't the station look pretty?
CTO_Malorn says:
CSO: I worked with a Pakled engineer on the USS Samshir.  I must confess if he said "I look for things to help make us go" one more time when making repairs I would have spaced him myself
FCO_Shilos says:
::Brings the ship in line with the docking port and checks the connection:: XO: Docking in progress.
XO_Nash says:
CSO: What kind of Gravimetric stresses are we looking at.
FCO: Excellent.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Looks up at the view screen:: XO: Pretty black hole, isn't it? Relatively young by the standard, a mass of six solar masses, radius of 17 km... it's like, really cool what they're doing out here... ah, checking, sir. ::looks down at his monitor, back to his map of gravimetric stress throughout the system::
CEO_Li says:
::Notices that the docking procedures are in progress, he quickly taps on his console to monitor the interconnects.  Then he taps on the console again to bring up readings on the stresses on the docking latches and hard-point interconnects.:: Self: Easy...
FCO_Shilos says:
CTO: Registering contact.  You are clear to activate hard seal.
XO_Nash says:
CSO: As long as we keep a safe distance from it, yes.
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Checks his display :: FCO: Confirmed...activating hard seal now  :: initiates hard seal ::
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
XO: Ah, here we go. We're still considerably separated from the black hole, almost two AUs away... gravimetric stress is high, but not a problem or whatever from where we are.
Host SMSteve says:
Action: Hard seal is successfully initiated.
FCO_Shilos says:
XO: Contact made and confirmed.  We are here, sir.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
FCO:  Nicely done Lt.  Didn't feel a thing!
CEO_Li says:
::Watches the hard-point interconnects lock, creating the hard seal.  He takes in a deep breath and sighs with relief.:: Self: Good... ::He changes his display console to check on the Silk Road's docking.::
Host SMSteve says:
@<Doctor Millana> Dayton: They've arrived, it's almost time to start the next step in the process!
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Agreed we are docked, security team in deploying to the docking area sir
XO_Nash says:
FCO: Excellent.
CTO: Open a channel to the Silk Road and have them confirm their contact with the station and hard seal.
Host SMSteve says:
@<Lt. Dayton> Millana: Of course Doctor, I told you Starfleet knows what we're doing.  We want this to succeed as much as you do.  Well, almost as much.
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Aye sir
COM: Silk Road: This is Paula Greene confirming contact and hard seal, what is your status?
XO_Nash says:
CTO: Excellent work Chief.
FCO_Shilos says:
::Double-checks the connections than hands the thruster control to the station.  Letting them use the Paula Greene's thrusters to make up for her added mass::
Host SMSteve says:
<Silk Road> COM: CTO: Confirmed, we are docked with the station and are secure.  Thanks for the escort.
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Thank you commander
CEO_Li says:
::Watches the SS Silk Road as she comes closer and closer to docking.  He sighs with relief once again.:: Self: Good... ::He walks to one of his Assistant Engineers and has him take over.::
CTO_Malorn says:
COM: Silk Road: Acknowledged, Paula Greene out.
XO: Commander the Silk Road reports docking successful and hard seal achieved.  They send their appreciation for the escort
XO_Nash says:
CTO: Great. Now for the next step.
CO: Docking of this ship and the Silk Road confirmed. Now for our next step.
CEO_Li says:
::He walks up to his office and finishes his report on their progress.  He takes another scan of the station and smiles as he watches the readouts.:: Self: 20 percent dedicated to thrusters alone... ::He chuckles.:: 10 percent to labs and living quarters... ::His mouth hangs open as he sees that the rest of the station is mostly AM generation.::
Host SMSteve says:
Action: From the far side of the station, a large scale Phaser Beam leaves the station, headed to the Black hole through the area the work bees just passed through.  Immediately behind it comes a packet of Anti Matter.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
XO:  Acknowledged.  Do you know how you'd like to proceed with the next step?
CTO_Malorn says:
::Deploys security details to the crucial areas of the ship, engineering, computer core, life support, and etc.::
CEO_Li says:
::He finally comes back to himself and quickly closes his mouth.  He watches as the ship is powered down in docking mode.:: *XO*: All systems at docking mode sir.  ::He fumbles with his words a bit.:: Ahh... I'd... Ahh... I'd like to assist if needed sir?
Host SMSteve says:
@<Doctor Millana> ::Standing at the Docking Port.::  COM: Paula Greene: This is Doctor Millana, head of this station.  Welcome to our station.  I am at the docking port, ready to brief you on our project, if you are ready.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Watches as the packet of anti-matter comes through; he instinctively scans the region for any particulates in the space it's approaching, cringing, waiting for an explosion::
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Sir Dr. Milana is at the docking port waiting to briefing, he sends his welcome to the station
XO_Nash says:
CO: I guess the next step is to head down to meet the Doctor.  CTO, CSO: Care to join me?
CTO_Malorn says:
XO: Of course commander  :: has a duty TO take over tactical in his absence ::
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
Self: Oh... oh, now that's pretty smart... ::watches as the work bees continue their work:: Self: Mini Bussard collectors... neato. ::looks up at the XO:: XO: Of course, sir. ::grins, and follows the XO::
CEO_Li says:
::He walks over to the Master Situation Monitor and watches the read-outs of the power transfer from the station to the ship.  He quickly looks over the rest of the read-outs of the interconnects.:: Self: Good.  Looking good.
XO_Nash says:
COM: Dr. Milana: This is Commander Nash. We are securing now.  We'll be down in a couple of minutes to welcome you aboard.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
XO:  Agreed.  Let the Doctor know that our ship is at his disposal.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
Self: Millana... Millana... can't recall any Millana's. Have I met its hosts before? Hmm...
XO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir.
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Checks his duty Phaser and follows the XO ::
Host SMSteve says:
@<Dr. Millana> COM: XO: Very good Commander, I await you eagerly.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Whispers to the CTO:: CTO: You're just going to end up scaring the poor doctor and his assistant with that, you know...
XO_Nash says:
CTO/CSO: Shall we gentlemen. :: Enters the TL.:: TL: Docking port amid ship.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Follows the XO into the turbo lift:: All: Aha! I've got it!
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Moves into TL and stands at attention ::
XO_Nash says:
CSO: Got what?
CEO_Li says:
::He sighs to himself and walks over to his Assistant, making sure he knows that he has command of ME for a few moments. He walks out of Main Engineering and heads for the nearest view port.  He stands there looking out at the station and the beautiful surroundings.:: Self: I wish I could have gone... ::He sighs again.::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CNS:  So, would you and Pren care to join me for something to eat?
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
XO: The Millana symbiont... one of his hosts was mentioned in some obscure astrophysics textbook I had to read in high school back on Trill... thank the gods, I've been killing myself trying to remember for the longest time.
XO_Nash says:
TL: Deck 9. CSO: Is that a bit of hero worship I detect?
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
XO: Hardly, I despise physics.
CNS_Pren says:
CO: Yes, I am a little hungry. What did you have in mind?
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CNS:  We could either stay onboard, or see if the station has anything to offer.
XO_Nash says:
CSO: Duly noted. :: Sees the TL approach Deck 9 and stop. Exits the TL and heads for the docking bay doors.::
CEO_Li says:
::He stands there daydreaming a bit.:: Self: It's a wonder and marvel how we do things like this... How we can go the places we go... Do the things we do... ::He points to the station.:: And build things like that.  ::He nods and then turns around, heading back to Main Engineering.:: I always miss out on the good stuff.  ::He sighs with regrets.::
CNS_Pren says:
CO: I'd be interested to see what the crew of the station has come up with.
XO_Nash says:
:: Enters and opens the Door.::
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Moves closer to the CSO and pulls up his sleeve showing the horrible scars :: CSO: I may scare the doctor with my phaser but as you can see I have reason for never leaving without it
FCO_Shilos says:
::Settles in her chair reading over the ships past flight logs and the ones that Starfleet sent on to the ship::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Stands up::  CNS:  Well then, shall we?
CTO_Malorn says:
::Follows the XO off the TL ::
CNS_Pren says:
::Stands:: CO: After you.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Follows the turbolift:: CTO: Yeah, that's nasty, cover it cover it...
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::Heads to the TL::
CNS_Pren says:
::Follows the CO onto the TL::
CEO_Li says:
::He starts talking to himself in his usual way.:: Self: Now... If we placed the phase inducers closer to the systems that use them... ::He scratches his head.:: But that would mean that the uncontrolled plasma would run wild through the conduits... ::He grunts in frustration at the problem that's facing him.::
XO_Nash says:
:: Looks at the men on the other side and moves toward them with an outstretched hand.:: Dr. Milana: I am Commander Nash. A pleasure to meet you. :: Sees which one takes the offered hand.::
FCO_Shilos says:
::Looks around the suddenly empty bridge for a moment her eyes wandering from console to console::
CNS_Pren says:
CO: A question, if I may..
Host SMSteve says:
@<Dr. Millana> XO: Ah, Commander, it's a pleasure, certainly.  Eartrax Millana, at your service.  ::Bows.::  And this is the head of the contingent Starfleet has blessed me with, Lieutenant Tony Dayton.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CNS:  By all means.
CEO_Li says:
::He stops dead in his tracks and almost shouts.:: Self: Harmonics!!  Yes! ::He runs to his office to write down some notes.::
CNS_Pren says:
CO: With yourself and Mr. Nash off the Bridge.. who's in charge? ::chuckles::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CNS:  I was in such a hurry to get something to eat, I didn't think of it.  *FCO*:  Lt., you have the bridge.  My apologies.
FCO_Shilos says:
::Raises an eyebrow::*CO* Acknowledged, sir.
CNS_Pren says:
::Smiles and tries to keep from snickering over the comm link::
FCO_Shilos says:
::Mutters something about pulling double shifts with no breaks...before she cuts the comm::
CEO_Li says:
::He taps away at the console, entering his thoughts and ideas.:: Self: We'll tune the secondary phase inducers to tune the plasma at a harmonic frequency of the primary plasma's frequency....
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CNS:  Oh sure, just go ahead and laugh if you need to.  ::chuckles::
XO_Nash says:
:: Bows to the Doctor and moves over to Dayton and clasps his hand.:: Lt. Pleased to meet you. :: Motions toward his officers.:: Dr./LT.: May I introduce Lt's. Malorn our CTO and Rel'Ana our CSO.
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Bows slightly:: Millana: Doctor.
CTO_Malorn says:
:: Bows slightly :: Both: Gentlemen
CSO_Rel`Ana says:
::Looks up at the strapping lieutenant:: Dayton: Lieutenant.
