Host Lea says:
Summary: Seven days into the fortnight journey, the crew has settled back into a daily routine. Alpha shifts has ended, Beta just begun. Some crew relax while others "investigate" a brief power lapse on decks 1-5.

:: As she pulls out the last ingredients for making cookies, she calls the children back into the kitchen.::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Moves through Jeffries Tube 128a deck 4 looking at the power junctions with his tricorder.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_PO1_Baker> ::steps up to the lounge's bar and motions for a bartender::
Host Lea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>::Sitting at the far end of the lounge, steaming silently as he tosses back his first drink::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::walking swiftly to the science labs with an expression on her face that encourages people to move out of her way.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<Edit SO's rank to ENS?
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::lumbers into the lounge, his broad shoulders almost rubbing into the lounge doors as they slide open in front of him::
Host Lea says:
<Attaché_Cmdr_Light>::Sitting at a table near the viewpoint, chatting quietly with the Counsellor::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Stops to make a correction on one of the power relays.::  Self:  Not what I was looking for, but this one is failing.  ::Pulls out a few tools from his engineering case and begins repairs.::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Pouring out the ingredients for the twins, she puts the mixing bowl in front of Braeden who has been taught to stir gently... if they want to eat the cookies and not cleaning them off the table.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::slumps down at the bar, tapping on its glass surface::
Host Lea says:
<Bartender>::Approaches the bar opposing Rawlings, wiping a glass clean:: ENG: What'll it be?
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  Bartender: Something with booze in it, and fast.  ::barely makes eye contact, sighing heavily::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Taps his comm badge with his free hand.::  *Beta_Shift_Engineering*:  Beta shift teams two and three continue repairs through jeffries tubes 265 - 270 decks 2-5.
Bill says:
<ENG_PO2_Simmons>  ::arrives in the lounge with another yellow-tunic crewman::
Host Lea says:
<Bartender> ::Shrugs his eyebrows, uh, "professionally," and slides a purple bottle with a long, narrow, winding neck from beneath the counter and dribbles half a shot glass full::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ::laughs as he follows Simmons into the lounge, surveying the terrain as they both enter::
Host Lea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> ::Tosses down the last of his drink, and waves to the bartender::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::hears the laughter and immediately sees Simmons and Ralph::  Bartender: More.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: With all the ingredients out in their proper amounts, the children as talkative as ever, she lets the twins poor one ingredient in at a time while their older brother carefully mixes.::
Host Lea says:
<Bartender>::Looks towards Matthews, but douses Rawling's glass with another double, sliding the bottle out of reach beneath the counter before moving away to tend Matthews' drink::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ALL: Heyyyyyyyyy, here he is!  ::slaps Rawlings on the back::  It's Petty Officer Broken, drowning his lack of talent in cheap alcohol!
Bill says:
<ENG_PO2_Simmons>  ::laughs outloud::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::sighs again, shaking his head, the expression on his face indicating that he obviously doesn't find the two funny in the least::
Host Lea says:
<Attaché_Cmdr_Light>::Her gaze distracted momentarily -- from staring steadfastly out the window, at her hands, or occasionally to Varesh himself -- by a bit of ruckus near the bar::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps away to get the cookie sheet ready and heat the oven::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ENG: No, but seriously...broken console? Grab the tricorder. Overloading conduit? Grab the tricorder. Warp core breach? Grab the tricorder.
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ENG: ...ship is in 19 pieces....grab the tricorder...!
Host Lea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>::Grimaces as the noisy idiots disrupt his thoughts. If it's not one thing, it's another:: Bartender: Another. And can you do anything about those?
Bill says:
<ENG_PO2_Simmons>  ::slumps into a seat, laughing hysterically::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::grimaces, not wanting to cause a problem; he slugs back the provided drink, continuing to stare forward::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_ENS_Baker> ::humms something over her drink and glances at the engineering enlisted::
Host Lea says:
<Bartender> OPS: Unless they exceed certain decibel limits or physically disturb other patrons, I let them be. Everyone blows off steam in their own way.
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ::even louder, almost as he if he heard the Bartender's response and wants to challenge it::  ALL: Let's face it, Rawlings...you couldn't fix a broken light switch, let alone anything of actual importance on a starship!
Bill says:
<ENG_PO2_Simmons>  ::slaps the console, continuing to laugh::  Ralph: Stopit man...you're killing me...!
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: As everything is about ready, she pulls out three spoons and lets the children being to put small balls onto the cookie sheet.::
Host Lea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>::His faces twists into disgust at the prospect of spending the next hour with these fools chattering on, and shakes his head:: Bartender: Noted.
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Completes the repair on the power relay and continues on down the jeffries tube.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings> ::continues to stare forward, wondering what those two would actually look like...dead::
Host Lea says:
<Attaché_Cmdr_Light> ::Rubs her right temple a bit, feeling rather worn down::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ::slaps Rawlings on the back::  Rawlings: At least you're always worth a laugh.
Host Lea says:
<Attaché_Cmdr_Light>::Covers her mouth suddenly as she yawns slightly, not impolitely, and quickly smiles apologetically, preparing to make her excuses to retire early::
Host Lea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> ::Growls quietly a second, then shakes his head and stares into his drink::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::feels his face getting red...not just a little red, but as red as it could get without bursting his skull and brains out from the inside all over the lounge::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Stops and scans the area with his tricorder looking for the cause of the power outage.::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: The varied size cookies soon find themselves in the oven and the children cleaning up.::
Host Lea says:
<Bartender>::Rolls his eyes at the men, finally approaching them from the other side of the bar:: ENGs: Arright guys, keep it up and you're out of here. Your humor is "physically disturbing." ::Briefly rests his hands to his abs as if nursing an upset stomach::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::stops for a moment, then looks at Bartender::  Bartender: Do you know what's really "physically disturbing"?
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ::pauses, still smiling, watching the exchange between the bartender and Rawlings::
Host Lea says:
<Bartender> ::Silently cocks an eyebrow::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: while they do that, she puts the ingredients carefully away.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::grabs ahold of Ralph's arm, then reaches to his torso before lifting him above his head; once there, he stands up finally, taking a step or two -away- from the bar before heaving Ralph into the glass case of alcoholic beverages behind the bar::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::turns towards Simmons, all 6'6'' of him towering over the younger enlisted man, who suddenly doesn't seem to think the situation is so funny::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Continues to follow the source of the power outage along the jeffries tube.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::grabs Simmons by the neck with his right hand and pulls him off the chair, dragging him towards the nearest window in the lounge::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Everything pretty  much clean and back in order, she has the children go into the main room and so their 'homework'.
Bill says:
<ENG_PO2_Simmons>  ::Grabs at Rawlings' arm and hits at him, but it's no use; he is weak, and Rawlings is -not-::  ALL: Aghsn! Heeelp!
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings> ::continues across the lounge with Simmons in tow, ignoring everyone and everything else::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_Ens_Baker> ::watches the brawl with a scientific curiosity wondering who will win::
Host Lea says:
<Bartender> Rawlings: Hey! Not the window!  ::Knows, logically, that substance is designed to hold up against the battering of stellar phenomena, but the guy just threw a man halfway across the room::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Opens the Jeffries tube and exits out into the main corridor outside of the science labs.::  Self:  Looks like an over load from the science labs.
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawling>  ::holds Simmons up to his face::  Simmons: THIS is what happens when you follow numbnut around and laugh at his crappy jokes!
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: The few 'official' quiet times in their home, Sky goes to her working area and checks over the roster for the next week.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::rears back, then throws Simmons off the glass window::
Host Lea says:
<Attaché_Cmdr_Light>::Starts to stand from the table with Varesh, her eyes finally focusing behind him, and she sees one man dragging another quite near to them::<Move up a couple>
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::picks up Simmons from the ground, who is dazed but not seriously injured (yet), and rears back and repeats::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ::scrambles to his feet behind the bar, completely disoriented, with blood dripping down the back of his head from glass cuts::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Enters the Science Lab and continues to scan.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO3_Ralph>  ::fumbles along the side of the bar, smearing his blood everywhere before running out of bar and falling to the deck again::
Host Lea says:
ACTION: As Rawlings throws Simmons about repeated, several of the lounge patrons flood away from the disturbance, while a few launch themselves at Rawlings in the attempt to hold him back::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::Turns from berating Petty Officer Dack to face the person entering the lab, pausing mid shout:: CEO: What?!
Host Lea says:
<Bartender> ::Hits the button under the counter..This clearly isn't cooling off on its down::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Hears the  children start to become  restless as the smell of the cookies start to waft through their quarters.:
Bill says:
<SEC_Ens_T'Rel>  ::is one of the patrons, but he hesitates before responding; he picks up a chair, figuring this -has- to put the large engineer down, and aims it right at Rawlings' spine::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_Ens_Baker> ::continues to sip her drink avoiding the fight, but not retreating just watching with scientific curiosity::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::drops Simmons before pelting the glass window with him for a third time, feeling a little pain over the adrenaline he has built up at the moment; he turns around::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::A bit startled at the reaction.::  CSO:  I'm sorry for the intrusion, but I've been tracking the cause of the power outage.
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::Flashes back to every Vulcan he's known, every snotty, self-righteous, unemotional jerk of a superior he's ever had; the rage builds::
Bill says:
<SEC_Ens_T'Rel> ::watches as the veins in Rawlings' head appear to burst, and he wonders if now would be a good time to show fear::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::quickly approaches T'Rel, picking him up above his head vertically as he had practiced countless times with the Academy wrestling team, before slamming him back down on a glass table as hard as he can::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Telepathically contacts Ethan to see how things are going.  After a moment, she informs the children their father would be even later than planned.  Shortly after that, the timer sets off and everyone is suddenly in the kitchen.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO2_Simmons>  ::crawls away slowly, but is sprayed with glass debris as T'Rel is basically suplexed into the nearest table::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::her face indicating that she might know something about it:: CEO: Have you now?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_Ens_Baker> ::looks at the fight and decides that this experiment has probably gone on a bit too long.::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Having Braeden pull out the glasses to fill with juice, she pulls out the cookies and sets them on the counter.  At least four of these cookies will not get a chance too cool::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Looks over the tricorder.::  CSO:  Yes.  Everything looks normal.  Other then the particle experiment.  Looking over the data it would seem someone.  ::Smiles a bit.::  Modified the experiment beyond its originally authorized parameters.
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::stares at the others in the bar maniacally, and then just as quickly as he lost control, he regains it::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::walks back down towards the bar, and takes his seat again::  
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: With warnings to blow on their cookies so as not to burn themselves before taking a bite.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::gestures to his undisturbed glass::  Bartender: Another?
Host Lea says:
<Bartender> ::Watches Rawlings dumbfoundedly, as the doors to his left slide open::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::Notices Dack trying to slip away and grabs the back of his shirt, pulling him around:: CEO: You don't say?  ::gives Dack a withering look::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: carefully juggling her own cookie, she takes a bite and enjoys the sweet taste.  Earth's probably greatest gift was chocolate.  Some would argue coffee, but for them, chocolate was it.::
Host Lea says:
ACTION: The summoned security team rushes into the room, half expecting World War V to be taking place, but instead finds apparently the aftermath of it. Several members run to each fallen officer, no one even noticing Rawlings yet.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: The cookies magically gone in a moment, glasses are put away and everyone heads to get ready for bed.::
Bill says:
<SEC_Ens_T'Rel>  ::lies on the floor, having gone clean through the table Rawlings just introduced him to:
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_Ens_Baker> ::slides down the bar to sit next to Rawlings looking quite calm and collected::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Nods and shoots a quick look between Dack and Ivara.::  CSO:   Aye.  Not that its too much of my business how other departments run, as long as it doesn't cause my ship undue harm and suffering.  I'll have a team bring in some reinforced power junctures for the science labs.  They are antiquated and should have been updated long before now.
Host Lea says:
ACTION: Security picks up Simmons, T'Rel, and Ralph, each somewhat roughly by the arms, and marches them out of the lounge, "escorting" them to sickbay.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::Nods trying to keep her anger directed in the right direction:: CEO: That would be...appreciated...You would say this breach of protocol but the ship in danger? ::keeps her eyes focused on Dack::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::notices Baker, but doesn't really say anything to him just yet::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Washing faces, brushing teeth and changing into bed clothes follows the old routine of many cultures.::
Host Lea says:
<Security_Officers>::Trudge into sickbay, with the three battered officers in hand::
Bill says:
<Rawlings' last: "...say anything to her just yet::">
Host Lea says:
<SEC_Lt_Orget>::Still in the lounge, he folds his arms, glaring about the room at the remaining patrons, looking for any indications of who else may have been involved::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Looks at Ivara questioningly.::  CSO:  In danger?  I wouldn't say that.  It was an isolated power outage, but if systems had remained online and working the experiments may have gone completely out of control.  ::Grins.::  I would suggest some Science lab emergency shutdown routines be in place before trying anything else on that particle.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
< Dr. Wilcox>  :: hearing the commotion, he stands to see what is happening in the main room and frowns.::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
<Nurse Blackfoot> :: Security:  Put them over here. :: motions.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at Dack meaningfully:: CEO: I think I know just the person to install those safety measures...
Host Lea says:
<SEC_Lt_Orget>::Glances over the occupants of the bar...finding them strangely silent, and finally shrugs, heading for the door:: Bartender: Let us know if you need anything else. ::Exits the lounge::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
< Dr. Wilcox>  Security:  What happened here?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
<Nurse Blackfoot> :: Begins with cleaning the worst of the lot up.::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
CSO:  Very good.  I'll send one of the Beta Shift teams up to work on the reinforced power junctions.  They should only need partial access to the labs, but I'm sure you will hear them working.   If there is anything else let me know.  Otherwise I will leave you to your work.  ::Nods and closes his tricorder before placing it back in the engineering kit.::
Host Lea says:
<Security> Wilcox: Some sort of brush-up in the bar. Looks like at least one hit the window a couple times and another went through a table, plus a storage case beaten up and a couple broken chairs.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
<Nurse Blackfoot> Dr. Wilcox:  Simmons has some internal haemorrhaging.
Host Lea says:
<Bartender>::Stares at Rawlings a moment, then across the mess that's been made of the room:: All: Lounge is closed early for clean-up. Everybody out!
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
< Dr. Wilcox> :: nodding he begins to deal with Simmons first leaving the others to Blackfoot..  Mutters as he looks over the pathetic lot::  Sec:  I hope it was over a good cause.
Host Lea says:
<Bartender> ::Leans across the bar, fearlessly clamping a hand down on Rawling's shoulder, not pulling him anywhere, but not making it easy for him to get up, either:: ::Lowly:: Rawlings: You stay.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the children climb into bed, she checks them over and gives each a kiss.  Then reaching for their ongoing story, she takes a seat in the rocking chair and begins to read.::
Bill says:
<ENG_PO1_Rawlings>  ::sighs again::
CEO_ENS_McQuade says:
::Exits the Science Lab and calls for an engineering team to come and make repairs.::
Host Lea says:
