Host CSO Cmdr. John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Prometheus Interphase" 10312.14

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
::Standing in the Captain's Ready Room.::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::In his ready room:: XO: So, what do you want to talk about?

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
::on the bridge again standing at tactical making some orders before going to visit Mr Redheart::

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: Sir, The unauthorized computer access was made by one of the security officers assigned to guard Redheart.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Sounds suspicious.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: Also we need to disable the station.  It may be the cause of some of these events.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I'm not sure if there is any connection between this sabotage and the station.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: As far as we know, the station is empty and has no crew. I am suspecting that we have a problem with someone, not something.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: Nevertheless it poses a significant threat to the Andromeda.  I believe that I can make the trip in short order sir.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: What kind of a threat are you talking about?

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
::takes his phaser rifle and puts it around his neck and shoulder and walks to the TL:: *CO/XO* I'm going down to ask our guest to come with us on the away mission.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO:  It is my experience that if two odd things occur in one area of space or time they are likely connected.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: The time bubbles shouldn't be a problem.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: That might be true but in this case, I don't think the station has any active part in this mystery. It's just a passive tool someone might be using.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: The station continues to produce not only time bubbles but radiation.  If the Andromeda is forced into combat her shields will be unacceptably compromised.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
::enters TL and orders it down to Sickbay::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: On the other hand, we don't have to enter a combat with the station. We can just retreat from the entire system if things get too dangerous.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: I agree that we do not need to enter combat with the station but a single officer can disable it.  Also I am hesitant to withdraw from the situation leaving the station in working order.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I think that there is some greater scheme going on around here. The caves on the planet had hints of Lumina and Wraith involvement.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
::arrives near sickbay and gets out of the TL::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: So I think that the caves are holding the answers and that's where we must go.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: I was not aware of that.  However It only tells me that we need to handle the station with haste.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: The caves may hold the answers but the station presents a threat to our safety

Host CSO Cmdr. John Sea says:
Host Slade Redheart says:
::pacing::

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: I do not think that it would take more than thirty minutes to disable the station.  than we can focus on these caves.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Yes, it's true that the station presents a threat but their weapons are under computer control. That should give us a guarantee that they will work with a simple rule: if we provoke them, they will defend themselves.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: That's why I don't believe in any surprise attacks from the station.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: Agreed the station's weapons are not the threat however it continues to produce time bubbles at an alarming rate and the detection of Cronoton particles have me worried sir.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: But all those threats are easily observable and to a large degree, also predictable.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Our greatest priority is to understand who is behind these things.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: We understand the computer. It is just following its programming.

Host CSO Cmdr. John Sea says:
<Slade_Redheart> ::pacing around Sickbay::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: But we don't understand many other things, like the recent sabotage.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
*CO/XO* Did you read me?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* Yes, I am sorry. We read you.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: We understand the computer however we do not fully understand the time bubbles.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
*CO* I’m going to ask Redheart and ROM on our next away mission. It could clear up some things

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: That is true but we might be able to get some ideas about the technology in the caves.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* Very good.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: We must stop the station’s production of these time bubbles so that we can remain safely in the system.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: As far as I am aware, the time bubbles don't represent an immediate security risk to our ship.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
::enters sickbay and sees Redheart there:: Redheart: Hello Mr Redheart, how are you feeling

Host CSO Cmdr. John Sea says:
<Slade_Redheart> CNS: I feel like a caged animal instead of a guest

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: If it continues to produce time bubbles at its current rate we will shortly run out of areas large enough for the Andromeda near the planet and station.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: It seems that we are in a minor disagreement here but I don't believe that our away mission would take long enough for that to be a problem.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: And your opinions are noted but we are now going to the caves.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: Sir I would think that you and the CNS could beam to the planet while I disable the Station.  I would join you as soon as the station was disabled.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO; You are the Captain.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Going to the station has its risks and that would require the attention of the entire crew.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
Redheart: Indeed, You feel like an animal and that is just why I'm here now. I would wonder if you would want to go out for a walk

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Unfortunately we don't have enough crew at the moment to divert our attention to many places.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: But eventually, we will get to the station. Just not right now.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: With Due respect sir. It would require a officer with a tricorder a EVA suit and a Det pack...not nearly the entire crew sir.

Host CSO Cmdr. John Sea says:
<Redheart>CNS: I am a Federation citizen and deserve respect

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I mean the piloting, transporting and security aspects.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
Redheart: Yes you are but you did not answer my question, do you want to go out for a walk?

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: We should be in transporter range sir.  And it would only take one TC to beam said officer over.

Host CSO Cmdr. John Sea says:
<Slade_Redheart> CNS: You sound like you are taking a dog out for a walk

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: We know what happened in the first visit to the station. That required attention of many people. We can't assume the best case scenario here. And we also need you in the other away team.

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: As you command. Sir.

Host CSO Cmdr. John Sea says:
Action: The Security Team in Sickbay stands near the door to Sickbay

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I respect you even if we might sometimes disagree, Commander. ::Rises from his chair and starts walking away from the ready room::

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
Redheart: Now don't get fresh with me sir. If you want to stay here fine with me. I was willing to let you out of the hands of security for just a moment so we could talk but if you want to stay in your cage then so be it ::starts walking to the door::

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
::Follows CO out of the Ready room::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:

CO: I'll be right back sir.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Where are you going?

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
CO: To find out why the CNS's comm badge is offline

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I see. Please report back as soon as you find out.

Host Doppleganger says:
CNS: Yes fleshling I will steal your identity down to your DNA and replace you like I did the fool Redheart

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
*CSO* Could you locate the CNS for me with internal sensors...now?

XO Cmdr. Durron says:
;;steps onto the Transporter PADD::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Leaves TR1 and gets a turbolift back to the bridge::

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Jordaïn says:
Doppleganger: Nice trick by the way, but there is one thing you missed all this time. I knew it all the time it was you, you know. I have been waiting for you to show yourself

Host Doppleganger says:
Action: The Security team upon closer inspection are zombies with no mind of their own

CSO Cmdr. Z’heta says:
*XO* Aye, aye, Commander.  ::presses buttons to check life signs of crew members and match them with he CNS's::
