CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: Permission to do what to my crew?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Hayward*: What is it?

CMO_Endo says:
MO: I'm sure my father would love to read a report like that when he gets a small box from Starfleet

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: I believe the term is "When pigs fly".

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Mind download?........crosses her arms not sure she likes that:: CO: Vowad is a strong telepath.  I believe he wants to read our minds.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: Just for today... ::Takes the MO and shoves him into his chair:: It'll be fun...

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: I think that would best be left for another time.

Host Vowad says:
CO: Acknowledged.

Tyfair: Could be a leaky flux capacitor in the coupling.  ::Scans the coupling::

CMO_Endo says:
MO: For today only, though.

FCO_Lt_TShara: How recent?

Host Steve says:
<Burak>  What do the details matter!?!?  We overcame our captors and took the ship!  For every minute we delay here, sentient beings suffer and die under the Khan's savagery!  Our scanners have shown us your battles, you have the ability to help free them!

*CIV*: Good Lord why?

CMO_Endo says:
::Can't hear the MO/CIV::

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: Unknown but the weapon type appears to be Bellicose.

EO_Hayward says:
::Still scanning:: Tyfair: Hard to say. The components were damaged in the surge, but were also the initial cause. I'm betting it was damaged during the attack that left us with half a folder, and it just wasn't obvious till now.

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE HORNS ON BURAK'S HEAD APPEAR TO QUIVER WITH AN ELECTRICAL BUZZ

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
*MO*:  Beats me ... ask him some time....  I know a couple filed incompetence reports on him.  which I know nothing about anyway.

Host Vowad says:
Burak: Calm yourself. ::Scanners pick up electrical build up::

CO_Torbin says:
::Feisty little bugger::  Burak: I would ask that you kindly sit back down while we talk.  One of the reasons we have been successful against the Bellicose is that we don't rush into things without planning and preparation.  In other words, without details.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
TShara: Hhhhhmmmm. Thank you.

MO_Hunter says:
*CIV*: ::Laughs:: Yeah maybe I will.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Notes the buzz and jots down to get the transporter records to see these people's anatomy.::

Host Steve says:
<Burak>  ::Hangs head and sits::

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: Hey ah Corzi...where is the Nurse that should be doing this?

CMO_Endo says:
MO; Doing what?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Hayward: This surge would have happened before now... Check the interlinks between the Core and the Folders.. specifically for any variations in the power flow

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
::Nods to the CTO.::

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: This paper work....It could be done by the senior nurse.

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE LITHE WOMAN LOOKS AT THE CAPTAIN WITH THOSE UNUSUAL EYES AND SPEAKS IN  LILTING, SINGSONG VOICE

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Slips under the Main plasma injector and checks the regulators on the other side::

CMO_Endo says:
<Hoepleeznautther> *CMO*: Ummm... ok... ::Reluctantly heads down... hoping she won't have to file another report  because someone got excited::

EO_Hayward says:
Tyfair: Aye Sir.  ::Begins going over the interlinks in the coupling inch by inch::

CMO_Endo says:
MO: It should?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
FCO_Lt_TShara: Can you put the ship on main viewer and zoom in on that part of the hull that has had weapon fire marks?

XO_Hall says:
::Looks at the lithe girl.  Hall seems somewhat attracted to her::

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: Yeah....this is all stuff that the Senior Nurse should have taken care of.

Host Steve says:
<Bela>  Starfleeters:  What Burak has said, we've all made a solemn pledge to carry out - to destroy the Bellicose Khan, no matter the cost.  Maybe you, in this Starfleet, don't understand, but you would, I think, if you spent weeks or months in cages - animals....exhibits for the Bellicose' pleasure.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: But I....

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Continues to go over the crew efficiency reports and makes notes for his report.::

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: What?

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE CRYSTAL MAN IS THE NEXT TO SPEAK

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Sensing the XO's emotions, smiles to herself.......wondering if he's finally let her go::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Smiles::

CO_Torbin says:
::Starts to speak and then stops, listening::

CMO_Endo says:
::Feels like breaking something:: MO: I've been doing that since I got on Claymore... the stupid senior nurse we had before I fired her was lazier than even me...

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
::Brings up on the main viewer and zooms into the area that has the carbon traces from the Bellicose weapon fire.::

XO_Hall says:
Bela:  I have ma'am.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: I thought that it was my job to do it at first because she never did and eventually...

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: On main viewer.

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: Really? I see.........

CMO_Endo says:
::Kicks a biobed::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Rubs his head in frustration::  Hayward: This shouldn't happen...

Host Steve says:
<Baldan>  SFters: We have buried at space many more of us than survived.   Such was the care that the Bellicose metered out.  The Khan and his Bellicose hordes have had their way, and now it is war - a war in which only one side can survive

XO_Hall says:
Bela:  Not for the Bellicose but that has happened to me before.

CMO_Endo says:
<Hoepleeznautther> ::Walks in as the CMO kicks the biobed and already feels worse:: CMO: Ummm... is this a bad time?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Nods to the FCO. Walks up close to the view screen to look at it closer:: To Self: Hhhhmmm.

MO_Hunter says:
::Hears the slam of the CMO's foot hit the BioBed:: CMO: What was that?

EO_Hayward says:
Tyfair: I think I've got it. The couplings interlinks have a built in redundancy. Scans show it's been rerouting the power follow internally, destroying them one by one. I don't know why we wouldn't have picked this up before.

Host Steve says:
<Bela>  ::looks at the XO, her eyes looking right into him - her lips tighten, but she says nothing::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Hayward: Rerouting to where?  And better yet.. Why?

CMO_Endo says:
MO: The biobed...

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Studies the marks on the hull of the ship::

Host Steve says:
<Ramus>  ::Nods, listening, observing::

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  EACH OF THE DELEGATES CAST UNEASY GLANCES AT RAMUS

CMO_Endo says:
::Turns to Hoepleeznautther and shakes his head:: H: No... it's just this stupid thing about paperwork... have a seat on a biobed... not this one, though.

XO_Hall says:
Bela:  On that front ma'am.  We somewhat know what you talking.  About.  I was imprisoned and then put on display.

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
::Looks at the main view screen.::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Hayward: Check the remains of the other Folders... see if any of the couplings are still active.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
To All: Well it looks like those marks are more than a week old. So I guess they have been hiding and repairing the ship.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
FCO_Lt_TShara: How much of the hull can you tell is new?

CMO_Endo says:
<H> ::Sits down on a biobed nervously::

EO_Hayward says:
::Thinks, this is the last thing we need right now:: Tyfair. It was rerouting it within the coupling. After it ran out of circuits to maintain the power flow. It simply went out with a bang, so to speak. Aye Sir  ::Checks primary and secondary couplings::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Notes the hostility being felt toward Ramus and makes notes of it and who's feeling it the most::

Host Steve says:
<Vowad>  CO:  Will you help us?  We need supplies, weapons....and Allies

CMO_Endo says:
::Walks over to the biobed:: H: Don't worry, just a tricorder scan or two and we'll be done.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Hayward: But I want to know why it was drawing power in the first place...

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Messages the CMO:: CMO: How are the rations coming?

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: Checking scans of the hull now.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Tries to scan and see if anyone's hostility is dangerous enough that they will try to attack Ramus::

CMO_Endo says:
<H> ::looks surprised:: CMO: You don't do the touching thing?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
OPS_Lt_Sorvik: Can I ask you a logical question?

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: Before I answer that..  I need some assurances from you..  First off, as I'm sure you noticed, a Q`Orphod has been observing this at my request.  If you have any problems with him or his people, I want to hear them now, or I never want to hear of them, period.

EO_Hayward says:
Tyfair: Agreed. It shouldn’t have even been on in the first place. The other couplings check out as functional, but in standby mode.

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: Hey Corzi...Kaly wants to know about the Rations?

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: None of the hull is new.

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CTO:  Of course.

CMO_Endo says:
::Shakes his head:: H: Only perverts do that these days, the only purpose of the... touching is to detect ulcers and tumors and all that...

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  AT THE MENTION OF THE Q'ORPHOD, A RIPPLE OF MISTRUST PASSES THROUGH THE DELEGATION

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Hayward: Shut them down... if the Folders are going to randomly start drawing power, I want to stop it now.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: I've given orders to have them prepared... you're the CMO, check to see that they are and give her a report

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
OPS_Lt_Sorvik: If your ship was badly damaged, why risk coming to an area that has had Bellicose activities?

CO_Torbin says:
::Watches reactions and awaits a response::

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: I agreed to do the paper work nothing more.

EO_Hayward says:
Tyfair:: Done. They've been deactivated.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Turns ear to the OPS and CTO’s conversations::

CMO_Endo says:
MO: You agreed to be the CMO... just do me this favor.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
FCO_Lt_TShara: So almost all of it used. Maybe taking it from the ships they have attacked and destroyed?

CMO_Endo says:
MO: I'm in the middle of a physical after all ::opens a tricorder and starts scanning::

Host Vowad says:
CO: Prior to the Bellicose ascendance in this region ... the Q'Orphod ruled many worlds.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Hayward: The Repairs shouldn't take that long.. have Wholson work on it... She'll be able to get it done.

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: I’m already doing you a favor with the back dated paperwork!

Host Steve says:
<Bela>  ::In a low voice:: XO:  And did you have to bury hundreds of your sisters in that prison?

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Looks up from his reports and looks at the CTO.::  CTO: If they indeed have the capabilities of long range scans, then they would have detected our victory over the Bellicose in the area.  Risking their life for help is a logical choice.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: Tell Kaly I'm sorry that I couldn't respond myself

Host Vowad says:
CO: While their tactics were not vicious like the Bellicose ... they still used many to their advantage.

MO_Hunter says:
*CSO*: I’m sorry the CMO is busy at the moment but if you'll leave a message he'll be happy to get back to you.

Host Vowad says:
CO: For some, it is troubling to put the past behind them ... even in the face of a common enemy.

EO_Hayward says:
Tyfair: Aye Sir. ::Assigns the repair team::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Covers her combadge and looks apologetically for it chirping::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
OPS_Lt_Sorvik: Yes, but where would they have been hiding at. At least we could have detected them on long range scanner right?

CMO_Endo says:
::Hits his forehead:: MO: Hunter! You can't send a comm message when she sends you a typed one

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: No it doesn't appear that that is the case.  The location of the damage appears that whomever attacked them was trying to disable their vessel.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Goes to the Folder readout and checks the power systems within the fold, trying to track down what was causing them to request power::

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: So I have discovered since arriving here..  However, if we do ally with you, his assistance will be needed, and for me to ask it of him, I need to know you will be able to coexist with him peacefully.  I'm not asking you to love him, simply work together peacefully.  Can you and your party do that?

CMO_Endo says:
MO: What if she's in the middle of something important?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Messages Hunter from her console:: MO: Tell the CMO I want the emergency rations ready in 30 minutes.  He can do it or he can have someone else do it, but I'd like to see at least one days rations ready for that ship by then.

MO_Hunter says:
::Typing:: CSO: Sorry about that!

MO_Hunter says:
::Typing:: CSO: I’m just a little ticked off at the CMO right now.

Host Vowad says:
CO: I believe so, Captain.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::At her console in the OL:: MO: Understandably so.

MO_Hunter says:
::Typing:: CSO: I’ll get them ready...just give me a few.

XO_Hall says:
::Books towards Bela.:: ::In a low voice:: Bela: No ma'am.  I am sorry for those that you have had to bury.

CMO_Endo says:
::Shakes his head as he finishes his scanning:: H: And we're done.

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: Where are the rations she wants?

Host Vowad says:
::Still wondering about Starfleet's past relations with the Bellicose ... ::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
FCO_Lt_TShara: Before their arrival has there been any signals leaving this immediate area?

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CTO:  The Bellicose vessels are somewhat superior to our own.  They also have the tactical advantage of knowing this area of space.

EO_Hayward says:
Tyfair. Maybe the active matrix kicked in while they were locked down, causing them to attempt to prepare for a fold. That still doesn't explain why, but it's a possibility.

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: Good.  My second concern is what we will gain from this alliance.  You want me to provide food and other resources for you, most notably the lives of my crew, but yet, we seem to gain very little in the return..

CMO_Endo says:
MO: I told you, I already gave orders to have some of the crewman who do the unloading prepare them for delivery.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: Check and see how they're doing... those guys are very lazy.

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: Are they ready?

Host Vowad says:
CO: What would you like in return.

MO_Hunter says:
Self under breath: I wonder why.

CMO_Endo says:
MO; I only gave the order a few minutes ago... never had time to check on their progress

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: I'm not a picky person..  what do you feel would be a fair exchange?

Host Steve says:
<Lron>  CO:   Your survival, earther. The Bellicose will return, return in Force, and overwhelm even your superior weapons and shields with sheer numbers.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Looks down at LRS:: *XO*: Sorry to interrupt you, but there is a subspace distortion. A possible ship incoming on fold.

MO_Hunter says:
Crewmen: how are those rations coming?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Hayward: The Folder should not have made a requisition for power at all.  And there is a lot we don't know about them.  Set up a monitoring program, so that if the Folder requisitions anymore power from the Core, it will intercept and deny the request.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
FCO_Lt_TShara: Go to yellow alert.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Goes over the readouts of the Folder leading up the surge::

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.

CMO_Endo says:
<H> CMO: Really? Is that it?

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
::Puts the ship to yellow alert.::

Host Vowad says:
CO: Lron is correct, Captain. It is a common tactic for the Bellicose to return with a larger "second wave."

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  ALERT KLAXONS WHINE THROUGH THE SHIP. THE DELEGATION LOOK UP AT THE SOUND, EACH RECOGNIZING IT FOR WHAT IT IS

XO_Hall says:
::Turns to the CO::  CO:  Sir, there is a subspace distortion.  It may be a ship.  Do you want me to handle it?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Notes the yellow alert and slips out to see why::

MO_Hunter says:
<Crewmen> MO: almost done...just a few more minutes and they'll be ready.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CTO: What's going on?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
FCO_Lt_TShara: Give me a vector of the ship coming in.

EO_Hayward says:
Tyfair: I'll implement the program immediately. I can modify one of our monitoring systems already aboard.

MO_Hunter says:
::Typing:: CSO: They’re almost done.

CMO_Endo says:
::Nods:: H: You're free to go.

Host Vowad says:
::Notes the alert::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::wonders why the Yellow alert::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
CSO_LtCdr_Rillian: We have a possible folding in ship.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Looks up at the Alert::

CMO_Endo says:
<H> ::Scampers out of sickbay, happy to be free::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Self: What now...?

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: Checking now sir.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
*CO/XO*: Incoming fold

MO_Hunter says:
<Crewmen> MO: The rations are done, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Notices his console flashing::

EO_Hayward says:
::Looks up at the alert, thinking, what now?::

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Contacts the fleet to go to yellow alert.::

CMO_Endo says:
MO: How are the rations coming along?

XO_Hall says:
::Stands::  Delegates: if you will excuse me.  I must go to the Bridge.

MO_Hunter says:
::Typing:: CSO: They’re done where do you want them?

Host Steve says:
<Bela>  ::looks at Vowad::  Perhaps it is the Pursuer?  

MO_Hunter says:
CMO: they're done

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Brings up sensors and sees the Fold Alert::

FCO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: The Vector is consistent with an attack vector.
