CTO Ens Murphy:
*SRU*: All right people... we go on Zulu... all teams report status.
 
ACTION: The docking bay doors shift, rotate, and spread open to reveal a single 6 foot, golden-skinned and dark haired young man in dark civilian formal business clothing and holding a PADD with stylus.
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::hurries off the Brynhild, for some last minute shopping before they leave for the conference, leaving Quon with little Elijah as he just drifted off for a nap, heads for Classical Couture to pick up some new clothing::
 
<SRU-A> *CTO*: Alpha, in position.
 
<SRU-B> *CTO*: Bravo, in position.

Agent Sikander:
::steps forward towards the CNS and TO, and nods at them:: CNS/TO: Gentlemen, please escort me to your first officer's office immediately. Time is eternal, but short.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*CEO*: Is it that obvious? ::grins::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Sees the human arrive through the doors. He moves up to the taller man and nods slightly.::  Sikander: Is that supposed to be a comment against my stature? ::Moans in disgust.::
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
::Checks the remote for the breaching charges and the setting on her phaser rifle:: *SRU*: ZULU! GO! GO! GO! ::Hits the remote to set off the charges and waits for the BOOM and then charges into the room, looking for targets::
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: chuckles :: *XO*: Only to me.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::laughs:: *CEO*: Well let me know how things are going.

CEO Lt Spanner:
*XO* I will Love. See you later?
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::senses the tension 'floating' in the minds of some on the station and remembers the Temporal investigators are coming to interview command:: 

<Gor Seltan> ::bows low and smiles ingratiatingly to his pretty customer:: Dr Jakiel, good to see you this fine day. I presume you are here for your items? Would you like to inspect them first?
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*CEO*: You bet. Rome out.
 
Agent Sikander:
::decides his business is too important to be diplomatic with a Tellarite, and flashes his digital ID badge to the CNS:: CNS: Special Agent Sikander, Temporal Investigations. Excuse me... ::walks past the officers::
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
::Enters the room and spots a terrorist holding a hostage, blinded and stunned by the charges that just went off. Takes rapid but careful aim and makes a kill-shot to the head, then looks for other targets, and sees none:: ALL: CLEAR!
 
<SRU-A> *CTO*: Alpha, clear!
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
Sikander: Wait! We are supposed to be escorting you! ::Runs after the agent and growls under his breath.::
 
<SRU-B> *CTO*: Bravo, clear!
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: smiles to herself and goes back to looking at the roster :: Self: Whoever did this need to have their head examined.
 
<SRU-C> *CTO*: Charlie, clear!
 
Agent Sikander:
::makes a note on his PADD that a Tellarite ensign just cost him valuable seconds on his way to his meeting with the XO::
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::considers for a moment about her limited time, but smiles pleasantly:: Gor: Yes, I probably should take a look, but I'm sure they're fine. I'm sorry, but I am in a hurry and one more destination.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
::Checks her watch and notes elapsed time:: *SRU*: Nice work people, we shaved 5 seconds off our last time. Regroup for the debriefing.
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Sighs, embarrassed by the lack of authority that they seemed to possess as a welcoming party. He chases after Jorn.::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
Sikander: You will follow me. ::Leads the way for the temporal agent.::

XO LtCmdr Rome:
::checks his computer and sees the Temporal agent is on his way:: *ACMO*: Rome to Dr. Jakiel.
 
<Gor Seltan> ACMO: Of course, of course! ::claps and motions for one of the Betazoids to bring in Jakiel's tops and pants, which they do quickly::
 
Agent Sikander:
::maintains his brisk pace towards the nearest lift::
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::hears her commbadge and taps it:: Gor: Excuse me... ::walks back just outside the shop to answer:: *XO*: Yessir? This is Dr Jakiel.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*ACMO*: Doctor, I know we haven't formally met yet but I want you to contact Mr. Burton and set up a meeting to see me later on.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Arrives to the turbolift and presses on the wall panel to open the doors.:: Sikander: After you. ::Waves for the agent to head into the lift.::
 
Agent Sikander:
::clears his throat, and checking his chrono obsessively as he waits on the lift::
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
::After the team regroups goes over the action with a replay of the holovid from multiple angles and points out good things and mistakes and corrective actions::
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Barely makes it onto the lift with the others.:: Sikander: Agent Sikander, why must you keep checking your chronometer? Surely there is no immediate rush.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Waits for the Agent to enter and looks over to the Counselor for a moment.:: Sikander: The lift isn't going to stay open forever.
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::watches the Betazoid tailor carefully lay her clothes out on the display wall and smiles to her:: *XO*: Mr. Burton? You would like him to meet you where? Our Operations officer, correct?
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:; shakes her head and goes out into engineering and looks around ::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*ACMO*: No doctor...I want you to talk to him and set up a meeting so we can talk, you and I.
 
Agent Sikander:
TO: If you haven't noticed, I'm standing on the lift. ::sighs and makes another note, knowing he's going to be late for the first time::
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Makes a mental note about how absurdly stuck-up the Agent is.::
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
*XO*: Ahhh, sorry. I guess I was a bit preoccupied getting ready for our departure. I'll do that. Perhaps we can meet in the Tea Room if it's not too formal?
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: finds who she is looking for :: EO Jethro Talbot : I need to talk to you about the current engineering roster Mister Talbot.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*ACMO*: Sounds good to me Doctor, make it happen.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
Computer: Level Two, First Officer's Office.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Snarls a little bit at the temporal agent and waits in the lift.::
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
::Continues to debrief the SRU and then does a walk-through to do corrective actions and performance review::
 
<EO Talbot> :: hears the CEO and rolls his eyes :: CEO: With all due respect....Chief....I don't have time right now. I'm in the middle of a repair on this computer interface to Operations.
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
*XO*: I'll let you know when and where after Mr. Burton makes the reservations. Good luck... :: smiles to herself and is glad it isn't she being interviewed by those agents and taps her badge twice:: *OPS*: Dr Jakiel to Lieutenant Commander Burton...
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*ACMO*: Go ahead.
 
Agent Sikander:
TL: Level 2, please. TO: I see you do not value other people's valuable time, ensign. A pity...
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
Sikander: The lift is already going!
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: lifts her eyebrow and motions to EO McKinzey to come over :: EO Talbot: Well, MISTER Talbot, I'm sure Ensign McKinzey can take over for you. You WILL speak to me...NOW.
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
*OPS*: Mr. Burton, would you mind terribly making a reservation at the Strawberry Tea House, as soon as possible for the Executive Officer and myself? If you would, please ask for a porch table?
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: motions for McKinzey to take over the repair ::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::takes a sip of his coffee, waiting for the Temporal agent and grinning, knowing he's late::
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Shakes his head in annoyance at them both.:: Sikander: We'll be at Commander Rome's office in just a bit.
 
Agent Sikander:
TO: Hmm, I did not think it heard your command through your unnecessary snarling. ::tries to keep an amused grin from his face, just looking the TO in the eye::
 
<EO McKinzey> CEO: Aye Sir. :: goes to do the repair::
 
<EO Talbot> :: thinks that the CEO job should have been his and gets sarcastic :: CEO: Well, you have my attention now.......Sir.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*ACMO*: A table for two it is then.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
Sikander: My snarling just accentuates my desire to leave you with our Commander.
 
Agent Sikander:
::turns to the CNS, not finding him as attractive as the woman he was last with, but could still have some merit with his decent manners:: CNS: Thank you, lieutenant.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
::Walks towards the tea room::
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::steps back into the Couture and looks the tops over, feeling the silky fabric and nods approvingly:: Gor: Very nice!
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*CTO*: Rome to Ensign Murphy.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*XO*: Murphy here Sir.
 
ACTION: The lift stops at level 2.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*CTO*: How are preparations for the Romulan delegations coming along?
 
<Gor Seltan> ACMO: And it will emphasis those beautiful curves of yours, Doctor. I will get those packaged now. ::walks off after taking the clothes down::
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*XO*: Did you get my Operations Plan Sir?
  
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Opens the door for Sikander.:: Sikander: If you will come with us, we shall bring you to our Commander. ::Looks over to the Counselor.::

CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Nods to the Agent as they exit the turbolift.:: Sikander: Right this way, please. ::Leads him to the XO's office with a brisk pace.:: 

XO LtCmdr Rome:
*CTO*: I did ensign, just want an update.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: eyes flash in anger, but her face maintains the calm outward appearance :: Talbot: I looked over this roster and you seem to have the McKinzey brothers working separate shifts. It is stated plainly in their records that they work better together. You have also seen fit to assign yourself the better shifts.

Agent Sikander:
::exits from the lift, wondering if the nice counselor is somehow...friendly with the brutish TO::
 
<EO Talbot> CEO: I thought it best to separate them and if I'm making the roster, I should at least have the benefit of the more choicer shifts, shouldn't I?
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*XO*: All preparations are in place Commander, and there have been no reports from my people of anything unusual except a rat in the docking bay. All quiet and secure Sir.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
::Enters the tea house::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*CTO*: Glad to hear it ensign, I want you on top of things 24/7. Also...can you see if there is any Romulan ale we can find for the reception. But keep it off record.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Walks along with Hei Ran towards Rome's office.::
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
Talbot: No, you shouldn't. You aren't the head of this department in any sense of the word. You should use the resources to the advantage of this station.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*XO*: I'm going to continue daily training with the SRU until they arrive, I'm with them now if you need me.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
Talbot: Not for your personal pleasure.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
Tea house madame: I would like a porch table for two as soon as possible.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*XO*: I'll ask quietly later at the Spiderweb Sir.
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Stops outside XO's door and presses alarm.:: Sikander: Here we are. I'm sure Commander Rome has been expecting you.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*CTO*: Thank you ensign, good job. I will see you later. Rome out.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::hears the chime and puts the coffee cup down:: Door: Enter.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*XO*: Thank you Sir, Murphy out.
 
<EO Talbot> :: gets angry :: CEO: Look here lady, I don't know where they got you from, but, you weren't wanted or needed here!
 
<Madame Pumphrey> ::in a thick English accent, smiles jovially:: OPS: Welcome, my good man! I have one now, as a matter of fact, if you would just follow me. ::starts to waddle off towards an empty table near the entrance::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Waits for the door to open and looks over to the taller human and rolls on his feet a little bit.::
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: lifts her eyebrow :: *CTO* Spanner to security.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::stands up as the doors open::
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*CEO*: Go ahead Leftenant...
 
Agent Sikander:
::nods to the CNS, ignoring the TO, and walks in, noting the time to be 1401 hours...:: Self: Damn. ::looks up and regards the XO with a emotionless gaze:: XO: Commander Rome?
 
<Gor Seltan> ACMO: Here you are, Dr Jakiel. I do hope you enjoy it. Let me know if we need to do any alterations and please, do come back, pretty lady.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
Talbot: You need to leave MY engineering deck.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
Madame: Thank you. ::Following::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: Agent Sikander, welcome. You're late. ::grins and extends his hand::
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*ACMO*: I have your table.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
*CTO* I may have a problem down here Chief, could you come down, or send someone?
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Looks over to the Counselor as the doors close.:: CNS: I don't think he liked us too much.
 
<EO Talbot> :: gets even angrier :: CEO: You can't kick ME out of engineering!
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*CEO*: How big a problem? Do you need a team or a squad?
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::laughs softly at the blatant flattery of the Cardassian:: Gor: Oh, I'm sure I will. I'll let you know what my husband thinks of his new trousers. And thank you. ::exits off for the arboretum::
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
Talbot: Watch me.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
*CTO* I think 2 bodies should handle it.
 
Agent Sikander:
::shakes Rome's hand:: XO: Tragically, yes... ::clears his throat, embarrassed:: I'm here in the place of Agents Dulmur and Lucsly, who were originally scheduled to meet with your CO. But Admiral Crenshaw had other plans, and this meeting is solely for you.
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Exhales quickly as the door closes behind the agent.:: TO: Maybe if you were a little more accommodating, he'd have liked you more! He seemed nice enough to me, though a little preoccupied... ::Crosses arms again.:: Still got a bad feeling about this.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*CEO*: Understood, I'm sending someone now. *TO*: Murphy to Thalataar.
 
<EO Talbot> :: loses it when he hears the CEO talking to the CTO and take a swing at her ::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: I'm flattered...please, take a seat. ::motions for the chair across from his, then sits down::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
CNS: What is there not to like about me? ::Grumbles and crosses his arms over his chest.::
 
<Madame Pumphrey> OPS: Eh now, have you had the pleasure of lunching here, Sir? ::motions to the table with a flourish:: Will this meet with your expectations? Will you be the only diner or will there be a Missus meeting you? ::winks at the Starfleet officer::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
*CTO*: Thalataar here.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
*CTO* Thank yo...:: gets hit in the side of the head and falls back into the console that McKinzey is trying to repair ::
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: shakes her head :: Talbot: You just made your second mistake.
 
Agent Sikander:
::takes a seat:: XO: Normally, I'd ask you to start from the beginning, however relevant that typically sounds. But I'm here, instead, to give you full disclosure on the events you and your crew recently took part in at the Delta Triangle.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::nods::
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*TO*: Grab a Security team and double time it to Main Engineering. Leftenant Spanner is having some trouble.
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Starts to walk off toward somewhere unknown.:: TO: Let's start with you imitating everything I do! ::Uncrosses his arms as TO gets his comm.::
 
<EO Talbot> :: grins :: CEO: Oh? And what was my first?
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: Before we start. ::taps his commbadge::
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
Madae: Well, actually I am saving the table for a couple I know, But I certainly would enjoy some of your delicacies.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
Talbot: Thinking about it. :: slugs him back ::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
*CTO*: Blasted engineers.. if they're not fixing things they're tearing the place apart... ::Squeels softly.:: I'll be right there. CNS: Are you coming to Engineering with me?
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::stops as she steps over the bridge crossing the small stream in the walkway and puts a hand on her belly, feeling the baby girl inside kick vigorously:: Self: I know, Little One, you want out, soon...
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Shakes his head.:: TO: No, no, I'll stay here incase the XO wants me. Besides, no need to dirty up my new uniform.
 
Agent Sikander:
::checks his chrono again, then decides to just turn the damn thing off, knowing he's not on a tight schedule for the moment::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Nods slightly and taps his commbadge to alert security to engineering. He rushes off down the hall towards his destination.::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*OPS*: Mr. Burton, Rome here. Please contact the crew on the Dresden and take them to dinner, I want them shown every courtesy during their stay here.
 
<EO Talbot> :: falls back into an open conduit of bioneural packs to the station lighting ::
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*XO*: What's our budget for dinner sir?
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
*OPS*: Diplomatic.
 
<Madame Pumphrey> ::chuckles:: OPS: Oh, I am so delighted! You should try our specialty...Strawberry Shortcake, a Yankee dessert but we have put our British improvements upon it. So, you need to reserve this spot for later, do you? ::hands the nice man a menu::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: Sorry, go ahead Agent Sikander.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Grabs a phaser from one of the security officers who meets up with him and they arrive to the main entrance of engineering.::
 
Agent Sikander:
XO: That is very charitable of you, commander. Dresden has been operating on a skeleton crew for the last six months.
 
<EO Talbot> :: gets up from the sparking conduit and runs for the CEO, head down about to tackle her ::
 
ACTION: Lights flicker rapidly throughout the station for several seconds...
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: Well we just opened up a few restaurants here, I hope they enjoy themselves in the mean while. ::smiles::
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
Madame: Well even better news, I have to bring several visiting VIP's to dinner and I think I just found the right spot. ::Smiling::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Puts his phaser in the holster.:: Aloud: What is going on here!?
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::looks up as the lights flicker:: Sikander: Sorry, my team is still getting the station operational.
 
CNS LtJG HeiRan:
::Looks around at the lights flickering.:: Self: Hmm...
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: is hit mid section by Talbot and pushed back into McKinzey, all the breath knocked out of her :: Outloud: Oofffff
 
<Madame Pumphrey> OPS: Very good! I am so happy you like it here. And may I ask, how big would this party be?
 
<EO McKinzey> TO: Can you get them off of me?
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
Madame: I will contact them and find out.
 
Agent Sikander:
::tries not to let the lights distract him:: XO: Of course. Commander, I have come to report that your actions in the Triangle has exposed the Federation to a potentially new threat from the distant galaxy of Andromeda. In actuality, that was exactly what Starfleet Command, both in this time, and the future, had wanted to happen.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
::Continues with the SRU, setting up the next drill::
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
::Contacting the Dresden to invite the senior staff to dinner and find out the number in the party::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::leans forward:: Sikander: Excuse me?
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Growls and rolls up his sleeves a bit and moves over to Talbot and pulls him off the ground.:: Talbot: We're not in an psychiatric ward here. Security: Restrain the lieutenant.
 
<Security> ::Moves over to restrain Lieutenant Spanner.::
 
<EO Talbot> :: draws his fist back to hit Karri just as she bring her knee up in his groin. A whoosh of air escapes him ::
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
*OPS*: Lieutenant, have you secured a table, yet? Oh, and how does the menu look? I thought it would be something different to have a meeting at.
 
Agent Sikander:
XO: According to your report, you had attempted to destroy the downed starship Circadian, while simultaneously sending a subspace signal to it as instructed by a hologram that invaded your ship, correct?
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*ACMO*: Quite appetizing I am inviting the crew of the Dresden here.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
::Growls loudly and wrestles Talbot away from the chief engineer.:: Aloud: That's it you are both going into the brig in the same cell! If you want to fight, we shall see a bloody one and then we'll see how good you all look afterwards.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: looks up at the TO and hold up a hand to have him help her up :: TO: Thanks.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: We were never told which action to take, so both were taken. That's correct.
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
*OPS*: Oh...well, the more the merrier I suppose. I'm headed for the arboretum to check some artwork and then I'll stop back by the Tea House.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
TO: I'd say he need to see a Doctor and a Counselor first!
 
Agent Sikander:
::makes a note on his PADD:: XO: I see. But Circadian was never actually, destroyed, was it?
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: Our sensors reported it was....
 
Agent Sikander:
XO: Are you 100% sure it was?
 
<EO McKinzey> :: points at Talbot :: TO: He started it.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*ACMO*: Very good.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
::Awaiting the response from the Dresden::
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
Sikander: How can I be? The disturbance was too thick for us to make sure, we had to retreat. But the blast made a dent in the planet Agent Sikander. ::gets more serious::
 
<EO Talbot> :: still doubled over in pain ::
 
<Madame Pumphrey> ::waits patiently, her rosy chubby cheeks accenting her pleasant face, takes a look at another table and motions for her partner to check on their tea as if pouring from an invisible teapot::
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
McKinzey: I don't care who started it! Are you all incompetent that you can't separate two people!? ::Lets go of Talbot a bit and motions to security to take Talbot to a holding cell.:: Security: Get him out of here.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*TO*: Jorn, report. What's your situation?
 
<EO Talbot> :: falls to the floor when the TO lets go of him, clutching his.......family jewels ::
 
ACMO Cmdr Tessa:
::enters the arboretum and slows her pace, taking her breath in at the beautiful flowers and fragrances, steps onto the flagstone path and slowly makes her way over to one of the high walls so she can see some of the watercolor art hung::
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
TO: You're right, it was uncalled for, but, I wasn't about to stand there and let him beat the hell out of me.
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
*CTO*: I think we need to schedule some form of physical training for the officers of this ship... regardless, Ensign Talbot is being escorted back to his quarters.
 
<ON duty OPS> *OPS*: Sir, a convoy of armed Nausicaan ships and freighters are approaching. Their weapons are currently powered.
 
Agent Sikander:
XO: Well, several things happened, commander. You lost St. John Gadyn's body due to the temporal wave you reported struck your ship, and intelligence confirms no evidence of Circadian's destruction after the blast.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*CEO*: Leftenant... has the situation been resolved?
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*XO*: Nausicaan ships approaching. Their weapons are currently powered sir.
 
<Madame Pumphrey> OPS: While you wait, is there anything I can bring you? A spot of tea, perhaps? I would recommend our Earl Gray. ::smiles proudly::
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
*CTO* Yes Chief, thank you for the prompt response.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*CEO*: Any time, it's what we do.
 
CTO Ens Murphy:
*CEO*: Were you planning to press any charges?
 
TO Ens Thalataar:
CEO: What exactly happened to get Mr. Talbot upset?
 
ACTION: The OPS's detection of the Nausicaan warships causes them to fan out and attempt to establish a blockading perimeter around the station.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::looks at the agent and taps his badge::*OPS*: Raise shields, arm phasers and torpedo launchers. Contact all ships currently docked and in the area to assist. I want to know what is going on. Open a channel to the Nausicaans!
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
:: looks at the TO :: TO: Thank you again.
 
<Madame Pumphrey> ::gasps:: OPS: Oh my, my, my! I didn't mean to overhear...but weapons? This is no just no good! Definitely bad manners.
 
XO LtCmdr Rome:
::stands up and starts walking out of the office:: Sikander: We need to get to operations, now.
 
CEO Lt Spanner:
TO: He thought that he should be the head of engineering.
 
Agent Sikander:
XO: Commander? Nausicaans? You've gotta be kidding me.
 
OPS Ltcmdr Burton:
*OdOPS*: Raise shields and arm all weapons and defensive systems.

/////////////////// RED ALERT \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

CTO Ens Murphy:
