::Standing in front of the Captains desk.::  CO: Sir your crew was nearly killed on that station.  You act as we are just at some random port of call.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO:  I'm sorry you see it that way Ensign.  But your perception couldn't be farther than the truth.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turning slightly, she walks over to the counselor.::  CNS:  Have you had any luck finding anything?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CO: I only see what actions are about to take place.  The Charlok will use this oppertunity sir.  ::Pauses.::  But if thats what you wish then I am obliged to follow sir.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~CO: We need to talk.  Or you could just pluck it all out of my mind.~~~~
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes his seat on the bridge while waiting for the CO to finish up::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  I'll be with you shortly Sierra.~~~
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>::Looks up as his console beeps::  XO: Commanding, we're receiving an incoming message. From Starbase 1.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up:: CMO: The scans are still running, it will take a while still.
Host SMLea says:
<Commander>
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Put it through
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO:  As I stated before, I am requesting that SFC send a more experienced diplomatic team to see if they can work their differences out.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I would suggest narrowing it down, but we do not know when, or if, it is some unknown alien.
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>XO: Forwarding it to your console, Sir.  Message source is verified.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::brings up message on this console::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CO: And I understand that fully Captain.  I believe I stated before that I hope its enough and in time.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I tried to narrow it down as much as possible, but its still a lot of processing that needs to be done.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CEO:  When war breaks out here or worse at least you can sleep at night knowing you sent a diplomatic team sir.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
@Self: They told me it would be that way but I was just starting to really settle in. Well. A bit more than that. ::looks at duffel and piles of stuff::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods and looks toward the closed ready room doors.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances at the ready room doors as well:: CMO: You feel that as well?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO:  You are way out of line there Mr. McQuade.  You have stated your reasoning, and I have made my decision.  If there are other personal feelings you feel, I suggest that you keep them to yourself.  Because, from where I'm standing, I'm not the only one who has a personal stake in my decision.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Varesh::  CNS:  Ethan is torn, but he is also following the rules.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her voice quiet, for the counselors ears only.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods and murmurs in return:: CMO: Not an easy decision.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, contact SFC and request they dispatch a diplomatic team to the station and also dispatch a science vessel to investigate Delta.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CEO:  Yes sir.  ::Pauses a second.::  But you do have a personal stake to leave sir.  If rumor on the ship are correct.
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The message scrolls across Conor's screen: TO: Command Staff, USS Andromeda;   From: Admiral William Crenshaw.  RE: Mission Orders.   The USS Andromeda is to dock at Starbase 121 at its earliest availability for rotation of crew and refreshing of supplies, before continuing on its journey toward Deep Space 5. DS5 will expect the arrival of Admiral Kensington and staff no later than 20 days from today. End Transmission.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO:  I learned a long time ago not to put any faith in rumors.  I suggest you do the same.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
@Self: Unless that bag is bigger on the inside, that's not going to work. ::begins recycling everything that can be replicated again::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CEO: Of course Captain.  Should I return to engineering and get the ship ready for departure then?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CO* Understood, we have fresh ordered from SF too. Fowarding them to your console.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO:  I'd like you to speak to Meekin and find out where she would like us to transport to.  I'm leaving the choice up to her.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::forwards the CO's request on to SFC::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::forwards the new orders from SF to the CO's console::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Nods.::  CO:  I will speak to her.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Time to starbase 121 from here at warp 7?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO:  We will be leaving this area immediately, so I suggest you speak to her quickly.  You're dismissed.
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>XO: Ten hours, Sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks down at his console and reads the message::  Self:  Great, another detour!
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: And from there to DS5?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: She turns slightly away::  CNS:  On one hand, it would be easier to just leave as we had planned.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::Turns and exits onto the bridge.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<place shortly after counselors reply>
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Approximately eleven days.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::exits his RR behind the CEO::
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin> ::Still standing aside in a corner of the bridge, arms folded so as to be clear she isn't messing with any of the sensitive bridge equipment while she waits::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: If only we had left when we wanted to... ::nods to the Captain as he enters the bridge::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: watching the two men exit::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Conor, set course for SB121 and prepare to depart as soon as Meekin is off the ship.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: On it.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin: Shall we?  ::Motions for Meekin to enter the turbo lift.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Yes Sierra, what did you need?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Ethan::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::stands next to Sky as the Captain addresses her::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Motions to his ready room.::  CO:  The counselor and I need to speek with you.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin> ::Turns with Tavish toward the turbolift, but casts a final glance over her shoulder at the rest of the bridge as she goes:: CEO: Of course...  ::Steps into the lift::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
TL: Engineering.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Conor, engage once Meekin has left.  You have the bridge.....again.  ::heads to his RR::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Plot a course to SB121, warp 7. Message all departments to have them prepare the necessary paperwork to get whatever supplies they need for a long haul trip.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at the Captain's words and enters the RR after him and the CMO::
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Yes sir. Forwarding coordinates to helm.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks over to his desk and takes in a deep breath before exhaling::  CMO/CNS:  Yes, what is it?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Following she turns as the doors close.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: And let me know once Meekin has safely departed.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  So it looks like the Andromeda is leaving.  A Starfleet Diplomatic team will be here at some point to help your people.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin>::Nods slowly...::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::leans against the wall by the door:: CMO: I think it better if you explain,
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO/CNS:  Explain?  Explain what?
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthew> XO: Understood.  Where should she be sent?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  The question on everyones mind is what you would like to do now.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
@::lunges under the bunk and casts out for a missing earring but comes up for air holding someone else's:: Self: What the??
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: As far as I know, anywhere but here.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Braeden and Brianna have woken up.  Brenden picked up.  I read his mind and did more thurough interpretation of what was going on with them before we lost contact... before it was blocked by another telepath.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin> ::Takes a deep breath:: CEO: That's....difficult.    I wish I could go back to Gehmohr...but that...that could lead to chaos...maybe even war.  And if I stand trial on Chalak, they'll never let me back home...I'd be considered a subversive, too dangerous to allow into the general Agtak population.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Sky and I both examined the brief contact and come to the same conclusion. Its not something mechanical blocking them.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin> CEO: At best, I'd be remanded to non-scientific scrub job on Chalak for the rest of my life.
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: On the bridge, the science console beeps.  An SO attends to it.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::listens intently::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  From what we can tell, they are no longer on a ship.  Nor are they being mistreated.  They are surrounded by telepaths, but not the ones we know of.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  I was thinking I could pull a few strings and get you assigned to a station as a civilian specialist.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  But for what reason?  What do they want with children?
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin>::Blinks:: CEO: To Gehmohr?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  No a Federation station.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: What is with all the noise from over there?
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin>::Pauses, taken aback by his suggestion::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Smiles.:: Meekin:  The only other solution is to see if you can be placed on the Diplomatic team that Starfleet sends.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  The children do not know that, therefore we did not pick anything up on that.  For all I know they are some kind...are some kind of bait.  I have no other suggestion that would be logical.  One does not run off with two young children.
Host SMLea says:
<SO> XO: The Counselor and Doctor's scans completed. Computer just notified me of the results, Sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: What are they looking for and did they find it?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pauses as the turbo lift doors open into engineering.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Steps out into the corridor with Meekin.::  Meekin:  Over all the choice has to be yours.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO/CNS:  Well, once we finish up our brief stop at SB121, we are heading back out to follow those sensor trails.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin>::Follows McQuade out of the lift:: CEO: I think....I think I'd prefer to keep helping here, with the situation between Chalak and Agtak, one way or another. Even if it means I won't get to practice science for awhile.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
@Self: another galactic mystery or a long tradition? ::drops mismatched earrings in the bag with toiletries::
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin> CEO: If you sent me back to Agtak, I could start work there, until your diplomatic team arrived.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at her husband as another obsticle is placed in their way.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::places a hand on Sky's arm in comfort::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  I know what you are going to say Sierra.  But, I feel we would be better prepared with a full inventory of supplies.  I'm not sure what or who we are going to face.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  If you are send back to Agtak will the Charlok not come get you?
Host SMLea says:
<SO> XO: They were looking for any anomalies in the brainwave scans of the crew, is all I know. The computer flagged two possible results.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, I want to get going in 2 minutes.....with or without Meekin!
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Does a quick calculation in her head.  It is not that much longer... though they are supplied for a couple of years when it came down to it as is.  The children appear to be safe.  She simply nodded her head.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::stands up and turns to look at the SO:: SO: What? Where are these two people now?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CO: I'll be on the bridge, there are some scans I'm waiting results for. ::waits for permission to leave::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Free advice here. Unless you want to see the Captain truely annoyed you have about 120 seconds to finish up.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin>::Shakes her head::  CEO: Not officially, no. Agtak is technically sovereign. If the Chalak were to try to make anything of it, it would be a major incident. Whereas they share custody over Gehmohr, and were able to "take into custody" anyone there they wanted.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over at Varesh and nods::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::smiles and heads back onto the bridge and over to the science station:: SO: Please tell me my scans are complete.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CNS: What are you looking for? The scan has returned two people?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Nods as he continues to walk into engineering.::  All:  Make all preperations for departure.  Meekin:  If that is your wish Meekin then I will see that you are taken to Agtak before we depart.
Host SMLea says:
<SO>::Glances between Conor and Varesh::CNS/XO: Well, they're just anomalies, Commander.  The first is Ensign McQuade, in Engineering, and the second is Commander Light, in her quarters.  But--
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the doors close.::  CO:  Brenden seems to be taking all of this instride.  Your brother is with him now.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*XO*:  We are ready down here in engineering Commander.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
XO: I'm looking for someone who isn't what they appear to be... ::looks sharply:: SO What?
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin>::Nods::  CEO: Thank you, Tavish...For everything.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  If there's anyone who can keep Brenden occupied, it's Aaron.
Host SMLea says:
<SO>CNS: Sir, like I said, they're just anomalies.  ::Growing nervous as the intensity of those around him::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Should I be locking people up right about now?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Taps his badge again.::  *CO*: Captain Meekin wishes to be dropped off at Agtak to wait for the Starfleet Diplomatic team.  She wishes to help them once they arrive.  Can you make sure our people are informed.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
SO: Show me. ::leans closer to get a better view of the screen:: XO: I'm not sure.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Brenden is still mostly jealous he is not with them.  So far, he has not picked up our concerns.  But... :: she sighs.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*:  I give you my word Tavish.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*CO*:  Thank you Captain.  Once we depart I will take Meekin to Transporter room one.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: I want constant sensor and transporter locks on those two plus Meekin.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*:  Understood.  ::heads for the RR door::
Host SMLea says:
<SO>::Sighs nervously and brings up the - not four, but six brainwave scans on the computer::  ::Points:: The first set, 1A and 1B, are Ensign McQuade's last scan and current ship-wide scan. ::Points out the very minor inconsistencies::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Stop worrying Sierra......Brenden is strong.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Turns to Meekin and places his hands on her shoulders.::  Meekin:  You have to promise me you will stay out of trouble and be safe.
Host SMLea says:
XO/CNS: These two, ::Points at 2A and 2B:: are Commander Light's most recent and current brainwave scans. ::Points out that they are exactly identical matches::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
::waits for the punchline::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::steps out onto the bridge::  XO:  Let's roll Conor!
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  I am more worried about the other two and statistics of kidnapping.  Though knowing they are fine and other then being basically locked up, well cared for, makes things a bit easier to breath.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Has our guest made up her mind?
Host SMLea says:
XO/CNS: But this one,  ::Points at 3A:: is just another copy of 2A, Commander Light's most recent scan,  and this one,  ::Points at 3B:: is another current scan of Commander Light's...but it's slightly difference from the other three.  I don't know why the computer is picking up Commander Light twice.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Yes, she will transport shortly.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*:  We're ready to go Tavish.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*CO*:  Engineering is ready for departure.  You have the Stardrive and warp at your command.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
SO: Get me exact locations for all those anomalous scans.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin> ::Grins softly:: CEO: I promise I'll try.   ::Reaches up and pecks Tavish's cheek with a kiss::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.  Thank you Tavish.  ::nods to Conor::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Having followed, she makes her way over to Varesh::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::points in the CNSs direction:: CO: Maybe a slight issue here and plus the CEO has neglected to tell me where we're sending Meekin. I could offer suggestions but they may not be considered helpful
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Mr. McQuade is transporting Meeking to where she wants to go.  Let's get going to SB121.
Host SMLea says:
<SO>CNS: Ensign McQuade is reading as located in Main Engineering.  Both of Commander Light's scans are from her quarters... ::Brings the scans up on a map of the ship:: They're essentially on top of one another.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CMO: Sky, take a look at these scans please? ::points out the minor changes in the CEO's and the weird similarities for Light's and the fact that there are two of them::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
EO_Bennant: Take over down here.  I'll be back shortly.  Meekin:  Lets get you to transporter room one.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at the scans.::  CNS:  I can explain the engineers.  He uses an alpha wave inducer to assist in a medical condition he has due to allergies to other treatements.
Host SMLea says:
<Meekin> ::Walks with McQuade out of engineering::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CMO: Ok, but why is Commander Light's so hinky? Could it be the stone she's been holding on to?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Walks through the corridors and back to the nearest TL.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
TL:  Transporter room one.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Exits the TL and moves through the corridor arriving at transporter room one.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
@::Zips bag which now seems way too light for all that she's leaving behind::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  No... they have been no different since aquiring the stone.  The stone itself has a brainwave pattern.  It echoes the brainwaves of those who possessed it previously and currently.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh_ says:
CMO: So basically our scans haven't given us any information.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns to look at the counselor::  CNS: If one is overlaying the other, could one take over for the other?  What do you remember of the previous 'host' if you will?
