CO_Capt_McAllister says:
FCO:  Nice work as always Lt.  ::smiles::
FCO_Shilos says:
::shrugs slightly:: CO: Thank you sir.  XO: Ready to go to impulse speed sir.

Action: The Paula Green clears space doors and is now facing towards the outer edges of the Solar System.

CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::hands fly over the console:: XO: All sensor pallets online and are at peak efficiency.
XO_Marsland says:
::smiles, giving the FCO a pat on the shoulder:: FCO: Yes, well done. ::steps back towards the chair, giving the CEO a nod:: CEO: Thank you.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: All scanners are online and at 100% efficiency.  Power allocation systems and grids are working at 100% efficiency.
XO_Marsland says:
FCO: Very well, engage towards the outer edge of the system at full impulse, Lieutenant.
FCO_Shilos says:
::brings the ship onto the course to the target than glances at the CEO:: CEO: Are we good to go to impulse?
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
FCO: Sir you have both impulse and warp at your discretion.
CMO_Hayes says:
Ens Knight: I'll go to the bridge for a while. Have everyone continue to test the new equipment and be able to properly use it.
XO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CEO, then addresses the FCO again:: FCO: Inform me when we're clear to go to warp, Lieutenant.
XO_Marsland says:
::takes a seat in his chair::
FCO_Shilos says:
CEO: Splendid sir.  Advancing to full impulse.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::watches the power grid for engineering and her propulsion grid::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::brings up their current orders::  XO:  Other than the preliminary reports here, have we gotten any further information on the object?
Ensign Knight says:
::nods::
FCO_Shilos says:
::gently engages impulse bringing her up to speed slowly::
CMO_Hayes says:
::heads out of sickbay::
XO_Marsland says:
::glances over at the CO:: CO: Not yet, Sir. When we get closer I hope to find more on long range sensors... ::smiles:: .. but we're a bit far out for that yet.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Any information on that object that is heading for Trill?
CMO_Hayes says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge!
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
FCO:  Lt., once we go to warp, what's our ETA?
XO_Marsland says:
::looks down at his PADD, then addresses both the CEO and CO:: CO/CEO: So far, we can tell it's made of steel, but seems to be coated with some kind of debris. Still making course corrections as in the reports.
XO_Marsland says:
CO/CEO: I'm hoping science can tell us more the closer we get.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Sir if the time arises for any tactical help I can slave tactical to my console.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
XO:  I'm just surprised with it being so close to Trill, that more information hasn't been obtained.  But I guess that's what we're here to do.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Steel???? Hm.....
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::nods::  CEO:  Understood.  Let's just hope you won't have to.  ::grins::
XO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CO::
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Sir that sounds like the objects hull might be magnetized if it has debris on it.
XO_Marsland says:
::smiles at the CEO:: CEO: I was thinking the same thing.
CMO_Hayes says:
::exits TL and steps onto the bridge::
XO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CMO as she steps out of the TL::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CMO:  Good to see you again Dr.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: As we come in range of the LRS I could run an EM scan for those debris if you want.
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: Sir.
XO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CEO:: CEO: Of course, if science doesn't mind. ::grins::
CMO_Hayes says:
CO: Thought I could come visit the bridge since there are no patients to treat and everyone has had their physical.
FCO_Shilos says:
::prepares to take the ship to impulse than queries the computer for an ETA:: CO: ETA is roughly two days, sir.  XO: Ready to go to warp now, sir.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::senses reasonable calm on the bridge officers::
XO_Marsland says:
::looks over at the CO::
XO_Marsland says:
FCO: Very well.... CO: With your permission, Sir....?
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: I don't mind if they don't mind sir.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
XO:  You have the honors Lt.
XO_Marsland says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.
FCO_Shilos says:
::advances the throttle to warp one::
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
*Engineering*: Prepare to engage warp drive.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CMO:  I'm shocked!  Everyone has had their physical?  We should make this a ship wide holiday!  ::chuckles::
XO_Marsland says:
::blinks at the FCO:: FCO: When I say so next time, please.... slowly bring up to normal cruising speed, of warp six.
CMO_Hayes says:
CO: It wasn't an easy task, Captain, including getting you to come, but we achieved the impossible! ::laughs::
XO_Marsland says:
::chuckles, hearing the CO and CMO::
CMO_Hayes says:
::seriously:: ALL: So this thing... it's heading for Trill Homeworld?
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self: Never did like physicals.
XO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CMO:: CMO: That's what it looks like...
FCO_Shilos says:
::glances at the XO:: XO: Sir you did say so.  Advancing to warp six aye sir.  ::edits her course than advances the speed slowly::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
XO:  So our ETA is approximately forty-one days.  Do we have word on how soon this object will reach Trill?
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::engages a parametric subspace field stress scan for any type of cloaked ships just to be sure::
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: mmm... I was hoping I read wrong. We don't have more info on that thing?
XO_Marsland says:
CO: Last I was informed, Sir, it was weeks away, given it's current velocity.  It's close to the Federation border right now.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
XO:  Let's just hope we have whatever this thing is, figured out well before it gets near Trill.
XO_Marsland says:
::looks over at the CMO:: CMO: All we know is that it's making course corrections, so it is artificial, and either has intelligence or was made by intelligence, is made of steel, and coated with debris of some kind.
XO_Marsland says:
::looks at the CO sternly:: CO: Agreed, sir... agreed.
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: Oh.... Anything I can do to help?
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::seeing nothing runs a thermal variances scan as well making sure all the sensor pallets are working as they should be out in actual space::
XO_Marsland says:
::smiles at the CMO:: CMO: Nothing yet, I'm afraid.. however, I wasn't aware we received new equipment.. what did Sickbay get this time?
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: Mostly new generations of the same equipment we had. There is this new tricorder they want us to trial but we won't use it on the field until SF gives us the go.
XO_Marsland says:
CMO: Interesting...
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: My staff is trying to get acquainted with the new stuff.
XO_Marsland says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: Warp drive ready for a bit of a kick in the rear, Lieutenant?
FCO_Shilos says:
XO: Our ETA at this time is forty-one days.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Just ask and she will give.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::raises an eyebrow as he looks over at the XO::  XO:  A kick in the rear?
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
*Engineering*: Prepare for warp drive increase.  Watch the plasma injectors.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
*Engineering*: Keep the intermix at a 1 to 1 ratio and no more or less.
XO_Marsland says:
::chuckles softly, and looks at the CO:: CO: Sorry, sir, um.. a bit of a speed increase.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::hands fly across the board to make the warp ion trail more steady.::
CMO_Hayes says:
::sits at SCI2 since it's unmanned so she watch the bridge crew at work::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
XO:  Ah, well in that case, ::stands up::  you have the bridge.  I'll be in my RR if you need me.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::nods to the CMO::
XO_Marsland says:
CO: Aye, Captain.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
CMO: Pleasure to see you again Doctor.
CMO_Hayes says:
CEO: Same here, Lt
FCO_Shilos says:
::waits for orders to accelerate to warp nine::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
::walks off the bridge, and enters his RR::
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Sir I can push her into the red for a 9.97 for a faster reach object if needed.
XO_Marsland says:
FCO: Whenever you're ready, increase to warp 9.0.
XO_Marsland says:
::grins:: CEO: Let's not push it too hard, Lieutenant. ::moves to the center chair::
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: All you have to do sir is ask and my lady will give it to you.
FCO_Shilos says:
XO: Understood sir.  Accelerating to warp nine  ::pushes the throttle slowly to warp nine listening to the noises of the ship::
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::hears and feels the vibrations as the PG moves up in warp on her way to warp 9::
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
ALL: I love to feel my kittens as they gain speed.
CEO_Lt_Bishara says:
::watches the power grid as the PG increases to warp 9::
XO_Marsland says:
::smiles:: ALL: Very good, very good... FCO: Got a new ETA for me, Lieutenant?
FCO_Shilos says:
XO: ETA is slightly more than ten days, sir.
