Host John Sea says:
Continue USS Andromeda "Shakedown" 10202.03 Part V

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Stands waiting for the general to continue.::

FCO Durron says:
::is sitting at the helm scanning for nearby shipyards or vessels::

CSO Sketek says:
@::Thinking about the weird situation::

CNS Jordain says:
@::looks at the captain and the Admiral::

XO Miller says:
::on the bridge, sitting in the "big" chair::  FCO:  Ray, how's your investigation coming?

FCO Durron says:
XO: from what I can tell, Sir, the Nanites brought us here so I can not see any reason for worrying about getting home. Sir.

XO Miller says:
::continues to monitor the AT on the viewscreen::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
::activates monitor:: All: The enemy organization is known as the Red Gemini, intelligence believes that a criminal faction of nanites adopted the name from a criminal organization of your universe based in the Rigel starsystem

EO Z’heta says:
::leaves his quarters, enters TL and heads to ME::

XO Miller says:
::chuckles::  FCO:  Worried?  Me?  Just keep me informed if you see a problem.

FCO Durron says:
XO: yes sir.

XO Miller says:
::turns his attention to the Admiral::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
All: We do not know if there is an actual political connection.  We propose to minaturize the Andromeda to nanite level and outfit her with a dimensional jump drive as well as a wormhole drive.  This will allow you to navigate in your universe and operate our technology undetected ::pauses::

FCO Durron says:
::suddenly feels a bit worried::

EO Z’heta says:
::Enters ME and looks around wondering where the Chief Engineer might be::

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Trial, if not already, you might want to listen in on this briefing.

Host CO Kalla says:
@Admiral: How much do you know about the connection with the Borg?

XO Miller says:
::hears the term "Borg" and turns his attention back to the viewscreen::

CNS Jordain says:
@::is listening to the Admiral::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: We believe that the Nanites will create a beacon in your universe to contact the Borg and begin negotiations with them

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Looks at CNS Jordain to get an idea of his feelings about this.::

CEO Rogers says:
::in her little office in ME listening in on the briefing on a viewscreen::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: We propose to add a contingent of nanite shock and airborne troops to your ship.  Once in your universe, we will track the criminals and recover the technology.  Questions?

FCO Durron says:
::hopes that there are other ships::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CSO, CNS: Comments?

CNS Jordain says:
@::looks back at the captain with a serious face. Telling with his eyes that everything is ok and he is not hiding something::

EO Z’heta says:
::turns to an EO::  EO_1: Hi! Where is our Senior Officer?
<EO_1>Hello, Z`heta! I think she's in her office.

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Trial, any questions concerning the interdimensional jump or wormhole drives?

CSO Sketek says:
@CO: Their explanation sounds logical. However we have no evidence which would prove it to be true or false.

CEO Rogers says:
*XO* will we be able to adapt our technologies without too much trouble – that’s what I wouldn't mind knowing...

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Looks straight at the admiral.:: Admiral: I do not assume that there will be any problems in bringing us back to normal size.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Looks up at the viewscreen to see how XO Miller is reacting.::

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Interesting question.  I'm going to put you in charge of coordinating those efforts with the nanites.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: No, our size transforming technology is quite sound

EO Z’heta says:
::decides not to interrupt Commander Rogers and goes to supervise some maintenance operation::

CEO Rogers says:
*XO* yes sir, of course

FCO Durron says:
::begins to think that it is going to be one of those one ship vs. everyone and really doesn't like that but stays quiet::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
::shuffles some papers and appears to be looking at reports of the delta quadrant

XO Miller says:
::looks back at the viewscreen::  CO:  How soon before we can get underway?

Host CO Kalla says:
@Admiral: I believe this will probably be the best way to proceed.

Host CO Kalla says:
@Admiral: Tell us what you need from us.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: We will of course welcome any suggestions from you

Host CO Kalla says:
@Admiral: Concerning the technicalities I expect you to coordinate fully with my Chief Engineer.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: Yes, absolutely, you shouldknow that we will bring along size altering technology in case you need to interact with people in your universe

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Chucks the rest of her apple in a bin.:: Admiral: We will go back to the ship now, then, and prepare for the arrival of your troops.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: Excellent ::leaves room::

CEO Rogers says:
::sits listening patiently, a plate with an un-eaten pancake on the table beside her, slowly getting cold::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Hits her comm badge.:: TR1: Beam us back, please.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The away team returns to the ship

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS, CSO: Well, we had better prepare now.

CEO Rogers says:
::turns off the monitor and leaves her office to see how everything is going in engineering::

CSO Sketek says:
@CO: Indeed.

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Trial, if you could spare Ens. Z'heta, I'd like to have him coordinate the arrival of the troops from the nanite planet.

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Ma'am, We have to tell the crew what is going to happen. If not this could cause some panic.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: During transport the Andromeda is reduced to nanite size

EO Z’heta says:
::continues checking which systems were affected by the "size" issue::

EO Z’heta says:
::looks at the Chief:: CEO: Ma'am, I'm reporting for duty.  I've been checking some systems.  Is there anything else you'll like to do?

CEO Rogers says:
*XO* of course sir  EO: if you could coordinate the arrival of the nanite troops from the planet - the XO requested it

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: certainly, Ma'am!

CSO Sketek says:
::Materializes in TR1::

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Yes, that is necessary. ::Walks out to go to the bridge.::

CSO Sketek says:
::Heading for the bridge::

CNS Jordain says:
::follows the CO:: CO: Is there anything special you want me to do Ma'am?

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the view screen and tries to zoom out some::

XO Miller says:
::although things on the ship seem the same size, there's a strange feeling that overcomes him::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: Nanite troops begin to arrive

CSO Sketek says:
::Steps to the bridge and takes science::

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Yes, please go to engineering and see how they tackle all the problems.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Walks out onto the bridge.::

CEO Rogers says:
::checking over the systems to make sure they can handle being upgraded with Nanite tech::

EO Z’heta says:
::makes sure the transport isn't damaged by the size reduction and diverts power to it::

FCO Durron says:
::Checks the readings from outside space but as he can't make them understandable gives up and sits back::

XO Miller says:
::sees the Captain walk onto the bridge::  CO:  Welcome back Captain.  I hope you feel we have enough information.

Host Nanite Engineer says:
::walks into main engineering looking for the CEO, body covered with replicators and tool connectors::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Well, we are back. I assume you heard the whole affair up here.

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Yes Captain ::waits untill the captain has entered the bridge and walks back to the TL:: TL: Main Engineering

XO Miller says:
CO:  As much as possible Captain.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: ::Crooked smile.:: Yes, I believe even I cannot mistrust them.

CEO Rogers says:
::looks up at the newcomer:: N-EO: umm...can I help you?

EO Z’heta says:
::get's info from TR1 saying everything is going fine::  CEO: Ma'am, the transport is in progress and it's ok so far.

XO Miller says:
CO:  Somehow feels strange being this small, doesn't it?

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: ::Raises eyebrow.:: So they have done it so soon? Impressive technology.

CEO Rogers says:
::turns back to her own EO:: EO: good, keep up the good work

Host Nanite Engineer says:
CEO: Greetings, Gears the name, fixing stuff is my game, I'm told we have to outfit you with a jump drive

FCO Durron says:
::Suddenly hopes that the size change doesn't affect the Andromeda's orbit but decides not to worry about it::

CNS Jordain says:
::Arrives at ME and exits the TL. Walking to the CEO::

CEO Rogers says:
::blinks as she looks at the nanite, taking it all in:: N-EO: hmm...um, well, uh.,yes...  ::obviously not expecting that::

XO Miller says:
CO:  I'll say.  Could you imagine what the Federation could do with this technology?

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Indeed.

CEO Rogers says:
Gears: er..well, let's get to work then ::smiles::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: So how do we make room for the troops they want us to carry. I seem to remember a good solution with a cargo bay from a previous mission.

EO Z’heta says:
::nods to the Chief and smiles::

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Keep us informed when the drives are complete and operational.

CEO Rogers says:
*XO* will do Commander

Host Gears says:
CEO: Great! ::looks cheerful as a few more nanite engineers come in and begin pulling panels off the wall, and replicating the tools they need::

CNS Jordain says:
CEO: The Captain asked me to see how you where handling the problems, if there are some.

XO Miller says:
::brings up some information on his console::  CO:  Yes Captain, I believe that would be the best place for them.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Well, we will go with that solutoin unless it poses a problem.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: By the way. Welcome back.

CEO Rogers says:
CNS: well... aside from being a bit ...surprised...everything seems to be going fine here

CNS Jordain says:
CEO: Ok then. If there are any problems with some of engineers let me know ok

EO Z’heta says:
::Looks surprised to see the Counsellor on ME::

XO Miller says:
::brings up a grin::  No problem at all Captain.  And thank you, it's good to see you again as well.

CNS Jordain says:
EO: You looks surprised to see me in ME Mr Z'heta?

Host Gears says:
::provides the CEO with blueprints of what he is doing, the nanites are busy pulling out wires and installing alien technology::

CEO Rogers says:
Gears: oh..um..thank you, ::looks over the blue-prints::

EO Z’heta says:
CNS: Hi there! Well, it's unusual to see you here

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Please let me know when the alterations are complete.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: See if you can get any idea of the course from the Nanites.

Host Gears says:
Action: Several nanites arrive on the bridge and begin establishing new interfaces

CEO Rogers says:
::leans over the shoulder of one of N-EO's to see if shecan figure out the alien tech without much help on their part when everything's finnished::

XO Miller says:
::looks over his shoulder toward the CSO::  CSO:  It's also good to see you again Sketek.

FCO Durron says:
CO: understood ma'am

CEO Rogers says:
CNS: certainly *XO* Of course sir

CSO Sketek says:
XO: Likewise. The bridge has felt empty lately.

CNS Jordain says:
EO: I've been in ME many times but I'll tell you all about it later

XO Miller says:
::looks around at all the nanites on the bridge::  CSO:  Don't think you can say that now.  ::chuckles::

Host Gears says:
CEO: Propulsion will be run through a small black hole, gotta love that stuff ::grins::

CSO Sketek says:
XO: True, true.

CEO Rogers says:
::looks rather amazed by what the Nanites are doing to her ship..er...the ship...::

EO Z’heta says:
CNS: Sure! Well, I must get back to work... We're trying to obtain some knowledge regarding this alien technology...

CEO Rogers says:
Gears: a black hole... aren't they a bit unstable?

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the Nanite moving in the direction of his console.:: Nanite: this is my console. I hope you don't want to change it.

CNS Jordain says:
*CO* At this moment there are no problems down here Ma'am EO: Very well

EO Z’heta says:
::taps in the console to check for any modifications::

Host Gears says:
CEO: Only if not properly contained, you have to contain it with 6 dimensional matter, which is tricky in a 3 dimensional universe

FCO Durron says:
::doesn't look in the least bit happy::

XO Miller says:
::smiles and shakes his head at what the FCO just said::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: The nanites have been making modifications with good success. They seem to keep their promises.

XO Miller says:
CO/CSO:  Let's hope that holds true.

CEO Rogers says:
::looks slightly alarmed by this...:: Gears: well...as long as you all don't touch anything in my office, fine...

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Yes, good to see.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Yes, indeed.

CNS Jordain says:
::walks true ME truing not to be in the way::

EO Z’heta says:
::sees that the the warp core is offline, looks at CEO and listens to the Gears explanation::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO, XO: So, the Borg. It is the first time I will have to confront them.

Host Gears says:
CEO: Gotta love science its wonderful.  Ok all done ::pulls out a pipe and start puffing::

XO Miller says:
CO:  I wish I could say the same thing Captain.  I'm not looking forward to it.

CEO Rogers says:
::shakes her head at the sight of the pipe:: Gears: er, you do know smoking is bad for your health right?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: We will see if we actually have to contact them. I've been close but never actually in contact.

Host Gears says:
CEO: I'd agree , if I had lungs ::snicker::

CEO Rogers says:
*XO* um, well, it was fast, but they've finnished making the modifications

FCO Durron says:
::decides that the nanite doesn't have plans on his console than turns around to see that another nanite snuck up behind him and changed it than left::

CNS Jordain says:
::sees someone in ME how seems to be having some problems with his size::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Yes. ::Pulls herself together.:: CSO: Would you check when the troops will arrive, please?

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Wow, that was fast.  Is everything up to your specifications?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I'll do that.

Host Gears says:
<Nanite FCO> FCO: Nice panel you have there ::grin::

CEO Rogers says:
::checking the mods now:: *XO* there doesn't seem to be any problems - with the exception of getting used to the new alien computercontrols...

CNS Jordain says:
EO_12: I see you have a bit of a problem!

Host Gears says:
Action: The nanite troops are arriving in TR1 and lining up in neat rows

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: Have all the troops arrived yet?

EO Z’heta says:
*CSO* Yes, sir! I just got a confirmation from TR1.

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged Trial.  Good work.  Keep me apprised of any conflicts that might arise.

FCO Durron says:
::Gives the Nanite FCO a evil look:: Nanite FCO: Lets get something straight.  I don't trustyou.  but as the captain apparently dose I wont hit you.  I have been ordered to findout where we are going so I suppose I can ask you. Where are we going?

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Send them to Cargo Bay 1. It should still be ready for that purpose.

CNS Jordain says:
<EO_12>CNS: It feels strange, I want to be back in my old size. ::starts to freak out::

Host Gears says:
CEO: Having fun? ::cheerful::

CEO Rogers says:
::looks over the un-familiar panels, trying to figure them out as fast as she can:: *XO* I will sir, but I doubt that there will be much of any problems in here

CEO Rogers says:
Gears: oh...yes, new tech is always fun to figure out

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: Excellent. Please send them to Cargo Bay 1.

EO Z’heta says:
*CSO* On my way!

Host Gears says:
<Nanite FCO> FCO: My someone got up on the wrong side of the replicator didn't we, you need a good can of oil

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Understood.

CEO Rogers says:
::points to a funny looking button:: Gears: what does that do?

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, with your permission, I'll go check on the nanite troops that have just arrived

CNS Jordain says:
EO_12: Stay calm, there is no reason why you have to be stressed like this.

FCO Durron says:
Nanite FCO: I will ask you again. Where are we going.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO: go right ahead

XO Miller says:
::overhears the conversation with the FCO's and chuckles::

Host Gears says:
CEO: Thats the self destruct button ::fingers over ears:: .........................just kidding

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: I just remembered... I hope our replicators can replicate enough errr food for our visitors.

EO Z’heta says:
:Leaves ME, enters TL, leaves it and walks in TR1::

CEO Rogers says:
::grins slightly:: Gears: I see...

XO Miller says:
CO:  Not to worry Captain, I believe we can handle it.

CNS Jordain says:
<EO_12>::Blows his fuse and starts mumbling something:: Self: mrmrmemmrmrm

XO Miller says:
CO:  So tell me, are you happy to have a Counsellor onboard again?

Host Gears says:
CEO: That the propulsion inducer, when we go to jump that activate the drive ::hands her a key:: here is the emergency eject key

EO Z’heta says:
::looks around for the Nanite's Troop CO::  Nanite_troops: Welcome. I'm LtJG Z´heta.  Please follow me to CB1

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: I have to admit it takes some getting used to, as I have never worked with a counselor before. But Mr Jordain is very good at evaluating situations.

CEO Rogers says:
::takes the key:: Gears: okay, thank you....::consciously inspecting the new tech

CNS Jordain says:
CEO: Ms Rogers, Is it possible to replace this engineer. He is a bit unstable.

Host Gears says:
<Nanite FCO> FCO: Well I think I'll leave you alone before one of use ends up recycled ::grin::

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the Nanite FCO:: Look. This is my ship. and This ::points to console:: is my console. If you want us to go any where you will have to tell me where.

XO Miller says:
CO:  That's very reassuring.  I look forward to meeting him.

CEO Rogers says:
::goes over to the CNS and the EO(12):: EO_12: what seems to be the exact problem?

FCO Durron says:
Nanite FCO: or you will have to knock me out and keep me drugged.  I doubt the Captain would like that.

Host Gears says:
<Nanite Troops> EO: Let us be off, evildoers to slay places to go!

CNS Jordain says:
<EO_12>CEO: I want to be my own size again ::drops to his knees and starts mumbling again::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Oh, yes a very good officer. I thought I´d send him to engineering, just to make sure no problems occurred. Even though I have full trust in our CEO's diplomatic skills. :Smiles... or tries to.::

Host Gears says:
Action: The nanites follow the EO , their mechanical parts making buzzing and rotating noises::

CEO Rogers says:
EO_12: well...what is so wrong about it? Everyone else is the same size at the moment, and we will be back to our original size as soon as this mission is over

CNS Jordain says:
CEO: I recommend that he must be replaced until he is normal again. I'll take him with me to my office to see if I can help him fast

FCO Durron says:
::watches the Nanite FCO leave and turns back to his console and tires to figure it out::

CEO Rogers says:
CNS: you may be right....

EO Z’heta says:
Nanite Troops: We're too many to fit on the TL.  We'll just be transported to CB1.  Transport_Ensign: Please, make it so

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: Is everything going well with the troops?

CNS Jordain says:
<EO_12>::starts chaking and hitting his head::

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Do you think there will be any problems navigating in our own universe when we are this size?

CEO Rogers says:
CNS: okay, take him, we can handle ourselves, especially with our extra help on board ::smiles::

FCO Durron says:
CO: Ma'am. I do not know. but I doubt it. Ma'am

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Good. thank you.

Host Gears says:
Action: The EO and the troops appear in CB 1 ::the nanites look at each other and begin replicating comfortable beds, lounge chairs, televisions, replicators and of course a bar. <nanites> much better

EO Z’heta says:
*CSO* Yes Sir! We've just done a site-to-site beam and we're already on CB1.

XO Miller says:
CO:  Did you receive instructions on how to make us "big" again if need be in our own universe?

CNS Jordain says:
CEO: I'll try to bring him back ASAP ::tries to pick up the EO but the EO hits him in the face and falls to the ground::

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: Please inform me when you are ready.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: They claimed it would be no problem. And I assume that our visitors will know how. But maybe we should check with Engineering if they have installed a "BIG" button.

CEO Rogers says:
EO_12: oyi cut that out you!! ::grabs his arms and tries to hold them::

CNS Jordain says:
<EO_12>::hits the CEO in the face as a reaction::

CEO Rogers says:
::is knocked back and holds her nose, and she curses him::

FCO Durron says:
::looks at his console and mutters::

XO Miller says:
*CEO*:  Trial, has anyone informed you as to how to bring us back to normal size if need be?

Host Gears says:
Action: Admiral Starborne enters the bridge CO: We are ready to proceed, I think we should all get along fine ::big grin::

CNS Jordain says:
CEO: Are you alright?

CEO Rogers says:
Security: Engineering to Security, we have a situation here....

EO Z’heta says:
*CSO* Yes, Commander. The troopers seem to be making themselves comfortable around our CB... too comfortable for warriors, I dare say...

CEO Rogers says:
CNS: yeah, just a broken nose, sheesh...::wipes a small dribble of blood from her upper lip::

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: Understood. CO: The troops have arrived and they have been located to Cargo Bay 1.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The nanite CEO stuns the unruly EO

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Good work, Commander, thank you.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CNS* How are things in engineering?

FCO Durron says:
::looks at his modified console quite annoyed and tires to figure out where they are suppose to go::

CEO Rogers says:
::nods to Gears:: Gears: thanks for the help....geh....

CNS Jordain says:
*CO* We have a situation with one of the EO, He has hit me and Ms Rogers in the face, But we will handle this. I'll let you know on our status when I get back to my office.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Frowns.:: *CNS* Nothing you can't handle I assume.

CNS Jordain says:
::walks to the CEO and looks at here nose:: CEO: When you have a moment free come to my office and I'll look at you nose ok.

CEO Rogers says:
Gears: eh. I'll be in the med centre...why don't you take over here till I get back eh?

XO Miller says:
CO:  Did I hear that correctly Captain?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears>:  CEO: No worries

CEO Rogers says:
CNS: I'll get one of the MO's to look at it...

CEO Rogers says:
::heads for the TL, still holding her nose and orders it to the sickbay::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Well, there is not usually anything wrong with your hearing. We will have to look at it later.

CNS Jordain says:
CEO: Ok no problem

FCO Durron says:
::Over hears the CNS and would go help out in sick bay but doesn't want to leave his console::

CEO Rogers says:
::steps out of the TL and heads down the hall towards the sickbay::

XO Miller says:
::gets up and walks towards the FCO::  Everything okay here Ray?  You look a little perturbed.

EO Z’heta says:
Nanite troops: Are you ok? Is there anything else you wish right now?

XO Miller says:
::turns and nods at the Captain::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: Security beings the officer who hit the CEO to the CNS office

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CO: Let us be off on our grand adventure

FCO Durron says:
XO: Sir, everything is fine sir.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CNS* Make sure that everyone gets medical treatment, even if they insist on staying at their post.

CEO Rogers says:
::enters the sickbay, and sits on a med-bed and waits patiently for an MO::

Host CO Kalla says:
Admiral: Indeed. FCO: Plot our course.

XO Miller says:
FCO:  Good.  Did you receive our coordinates from your counterpart?

CNS Jordain says:
::walks out of ME following the Security Officers::   Sec.Officers: Please stay at my office, I don't want another incident.

CEO Rogers says:
<MO_2> CEO: what happened to you girl? you look terrible!

FCO Durron says:
XO: not exactly sir.

CNS Jordain says:
*CO* Yes ma'am, will do

EO Z’heta says:
*CSO* Sir, the troops are installed in.  I'll be leaving CB and go to ME, unless you have any other order to me.

FCO Durron says:
CO: Umh...where to ma'am?

CNS Jordain says:
<Sec.Officer> CNS: yes sir

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: No new orders. Fine job.

CEO Rogers says:
MO_2: excuse me? oh, one of the officers got unrurely in response to being shrunken and hit me in the face...

EO Z’heta says:
::leaves CB1 and heads to ME::

Host CO Kalla says:
Admiral: Can your people transfer the course to our FCO, please.

CEO Rogers says:
::sits patiently as the MO takes care of her nose::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Pausing USS Andromeda Shakedown Part 5
