<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SO_Love says:
:: On the bridge, quietly talking with one of the engineers as she finishes the last adjustment the CEO needed.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: sitting at OPS ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Sitting at the conference table waiting for a copy of the agenda::

ACTION: The away team has their itinerary for visitations to election facilities, factories and other parts of the planet.

CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::tapping a finger rhythmically on the table::

ACTION: The XO shows signs of an allergic reaction to something on the planet and is beamed back to Claymore's sickbay for evaluation.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Takes the PADD containing the itinerary as it is passed to her::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*SO*: Ok now the final adjustments is made.  I will be there soon.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Looks over as the XO is beamed back to the ship then reads the agenda::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: The XO has been beamed to sickbay, an aller-rgic r-reaction of some kind.
SO_Love says:
:: Hearing an update concerning Alex, she sighs.  He spent so much time in sickbay it seemed.  She considered a moment, thinking she could pin point his increased visits with the transporter accident.  Coincident or related?::
SO_Love says:
*CEO*:  Understood ma'am.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@President Tucker: I see you have us scheduled to visit one of your factories.  When do we leave?  ::Smiles as she is anxious to see some of their factories::
SO_Love says:
CO:  Sir... both projects are ready for implementation.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::Turns over engineering into the capable hands of Lt. Johnson and leaves for the bridge::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Looks at Chaser::  OPS:  Understood.  I will be joining the team.  You are in command here until the XO gets to feeling better.  Do what you have too to get through the Breen scrambler. ::walks to the TL and turns::
PrezTucker says:
@CIV: Ryan: Did you not want to see our main election facilities first?
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::enters the TL:: Computer: Bridge Express!
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks ME?:: CO: Aye, Captain. :: Gulps ::
SO_Love says:
::Looks over at Commander Chaser.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@President Tucker: Oh...yes..I see that is first on the agenda.  Sorry, Ma'am, I'm just looking forward to visiting one of your factories.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::enters the TL and gives his destination::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: stands as tall as she can smoothing her uniform, slaving OPS functions to the command chair and meanders over ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@President Tucker: I suppose we should wait for the Captain to arrive before we proceed.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::trips as she gets off the lift:: All: Dang blasted Lift!!!
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns to the CEO trying not to giggle ::
SO_Love says:
::Looks over at the CEO::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Lt. Johnson get someone to fix that blasted lift. It is not synchronized again.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::the TL stops and he exits the TL and walks down to the TR::  Chief:  Beam me to the coordinates to the Away Team.
Prez_Tucker says:
@CIV: I'm sorry that I won't be able to show you around personally, but I do have a planet to run.  My aide, Preston, will be happy to show you around.  ::motions to a burly male nearby::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: sits down her feet dangling far from the floor::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Quietly reads the PADD.  It's not quite like a Starfleet issue PADD but it basically works the same::
Transporter Chief says:
CO:  Aye sir...::enters the commands::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
ALL: Excuse me but that is three times today I have tripped from that lift.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::steps up onto the pad::  Chief:  Energize.  
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
SO: Please maintain a tr-ranspor-rter-r lock on the Captain once he beams down.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@President Tucker: Oh, I understand, Madam President.  ::Smiles then gets a look at the burly aide::
SO_Love says:
:: Turns around, ready for implication, hoping the captains experience would not be necessary, but having an idea of how much he wanted to go down.::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
SO: Ok the program is set and in place.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks perhaps it is time for the CEO to FIX the lift but keeps the thought to herself ::
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Aye ma'am.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Thinks: The bigger they are...::
Transporter Chief says:
CO:  Energizing now sir.  : initiates commands::
Prez_Tucker says:
@::makes a motion indicating her departure and leaves the conference room::

ACTION: Claymore's CO beams directly into the conference room on Tucker's Planet.

SO_Love says:
OPS:  Yes ma'am, lock on and verified.  ::Smiles::  He will not go far without our knowing.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Watches as the President leaves the conference room then looks over at Preston again:: Preston: Do you work out?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: nods to the SO resolutely ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Sees the Captain materialize in the conference room and quickly stands:: CO: Sir.  You just missed the President, Sir.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: Cmdr, all programs are in place.
SO_Love says:
::Glances between the CEO and OPS::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: nods to the CEO :: CEO: What is the next step, Ensign?
Preston says:
@CIV: I have a regular routine, yes.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::stands and looks around::  CIV:  I will talk to her soon enough.  Report.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
SO: Are you ready?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::stands::
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Yes ma'am.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Hands the CO her Tucker's planet PADD:: CO: Just tap the screen, Sir.  It's our agenda.  This is the President's aide, Preston.  He will be showing us around.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: Ok we are all set for out disappearing act.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::thinks of how little security there is in the compound the Tuckers must be  a very trusting people::
SO_Love says:
:: Checks the recording devices.::
Preston says:
@::nods at the CO::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Ready to implement program stage 1.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks at the tactical scans of the area :: CEO: A moment......
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::looks at the PADD and then to Preston::  Preston:  Its nice to meet you.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: Will this pr-rogr-ram in any way keep us fr-rom beaming our-r people back fr-rom the planet?
Preston says:
@CO: Sir, as you can see, the schedule is demanding. Therefore, we must move quickly.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@CO: As you can see, our first item on the agenda is to inspect the election facilities.  As expected the President painted a very pretty picture of her planet.  However, I am suspect...everything sounds too good, Sir.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: It should not interfere at all with our ability to beam our crew back.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@CIV:  That is what they said about Risa...::smiles::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: ponders a moment in thought :: CEO: Initiate when r-ready then.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Whispers:: CO: Why would a planet so rich in raw materials be totally defenseless?  What has kept the criminals from coming here and taking everything they have?
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: In fact this should take little time for the SO to do her job and seem that we are coming back.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Initiate stage 1.  SO: Go.
SO_Love says:
:: Taking a deep breath, reaches over and taps in the command codes.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@CIV:  That is what we are here to find out.  Preston:  Lead the way.  ::smiles::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::hands fly across the other console as well::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Waits for the CO to follow Preston.  Nods to the CTO to stand ready to leave::

ACTION: While preparing for implementation of stage one, two fusion reactors redline and fuse their power couplers.  Safeties dictate that they shut themselves down.

OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: watches the OPS read out while the program goes live ::
SO_Love says:
::Shakes her head::  CEO:  Ma'am, there appears to be a problem down in engineering.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: watches reactor power drop as fusion generators go poof ::
EO_Lt_Johnson says:
*CEO*: Sir, two of the fusion reactors have screamed.
Preston says:
@::moves off towards the door on the left and motions for the AT to follow::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: sighs :: CEO: Shut it down, we'll have to rethink it.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::follows Preston::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Follows out the door on the left walking alongside the CO::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
ALL: Blasted generators!!!!
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: watches the Breen ship for a response ::
SO_Love says:
OPS/CEO:  Do we implement plan two or discover what happened?  Was it too much for our ship or something unrelated...
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: breathes a sigh of relief as the Breen ship shows no detectable change in status ::

ACTION: The AT follows Preston into a very modern personell-type transporter room capable of beaming 22 people at once.  Preston motions for everyone to climb onto the platform.

OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks at the SO a little confused ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::steps onto the platform::
SO_Love says:
:: Looks curiously at both women.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Steps onto the platform and visually checks out the room::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::steps onto the pad::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Whispers:: CO: This is a very large transporter.  ::Looks down at the pads::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
SO: You had a backup plan?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Preston: Is this a cargo transporter?

ACTION: Preston verbally activates the automated transporter console and the AT beams to the Main Election Hall.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Rematerializes in the Main Election Hall and looks around::
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Ummm... yes ma'am.  The one I mentioned earlier and the captain ordered completed.  According to simulations it should work.  However... also according to simulations, there is a 67% chance that the Breen will pick up what we have done.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::looks around::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
SO: And what would this plan entail?
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS/SO: I am game for trying.

ACTION: The hall is roughly circular and contains kiosks around the leading edges of the walls.  People file in by ones and twos from the entrance door to the right.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Get your butts on fixing those generators.  I am going to need them soon.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Looks around the circular shaped room and the steady stream of people who are filing past::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks at the SO's plan on the command screen ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@CO: Kind of reminds me of a little open air market on Risa.  ::Smiles::
Preston says:
@CIV: To answer your question, Ms Ryan, the transporter you just used was an emergency transporter set up to whisk the President and her advisors to a safe place if the necessity ever arose.
SO_Love says:
OPS:  We would create an electrical charge that would kind of 'punch' a hole into their shielding allowing us a peek inside.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: lays a finger on her chin while thinking about the SO's proposition::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Preston: Ahh...a wise precaution, however I'm curious...why would you install such a device if security is unnecessary here?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@Preston:  How does the voting work?
Preston says:
@ALL: Even though election day is officially tomorrow, we allow voters to arrive early to file absentee ballots.  ::motions:: That is what these people are doing.
Preston says:
@CIV: One never knows....
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Nods as she listens::
SO_Love says:
OPS/CEO:  A role of the dice.  It should work, but... there could be consequences.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS/SO: My people are working as fast as they can in repairing the fusion reactors.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::doesn't like the sound of consequences::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
SO: As in?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: Is ther-re anything you could do to incr-rease our-r chances of success with the SO's plan?
Preston says:
@CO: The kiosks contain a PADD-like device listing the candidates.  All the voter must do is match their thumbprint next to their candidate of choice.
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Taking a quick trip elsewhere.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Preston: What kind of elections are you having tomorrow?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@Preston:  So their vote has identity meaning a person could conceivably record who a citizen votes for?
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks at her::  SO: A trip to where?
SO_Love says:
:: Points away from the Breen.::
Preston says:
@CO: Conceivably, yes, but safeguards are taken to make sure that doesn't happen.  The thumbprint is used simply to verify that the voter has only voted once and in the correct precinct.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@Preston:  How do you protect against voter fraud?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: waits for the CEO to answer her::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Listens intently to the CO and Preston::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: Fixing the couplers is going to take some time.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: The question was can you incr-rease the effectiveness of the SO's plan in any way?
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
SO/OPS; Away from the Breen?
SO_Love says:
:: Smiles.::
Preston says:
@CO: Voter fraud is a thing of the past, Captain.  The voting device's software is precisely programmed and independently verified.  The very same honor system that binds the colony together works here as well.  There hasn't been voter fraud here within the last 60 years.
SO_Love says:
OPS:  One of her staff has already helped to set things up.  It just waits implementation and a prayer or two.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: Well I don't see why not.  Even with two fusion reactors out there should be sufficient power.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: doesn't like taking such a huge gamble with the CO on the planet ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Thinks: Yet another "Too good to be true" item to add to the list::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::raises eyebrow at thought of someone purposely cheating just to get who they want to win to win::

ACTION: As Preston and Randolph exchange remarks, two suited people move to a kiosk at the far wall, grab a voter and gently escort her from the hall.

OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks over her shoulder at the SO:: SO: Go ahead with plan two.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Sees a lady being escorted out of the hall and becomes suspicious:: Preston: Who are those men?  ::Points::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Preston: And what did that lady do?  ::Looks at Preston::
SO_Love says:
::nodding, turns around.  Taking a deep breath, holding it, she nods to the engineer who has been helping her.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: holds her breath and holds on tight to the arms of the command chair ::
Preston says:
@CIV: They are election hall administrators.  Usually, when they escort someone from the hall, it is because the voter is trying to cast a vote in the incorrect precinct.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: I will remind you, that should the reactor fail my staff will pull others from hotstandby.  So I don't think we need to worry about that.
Preston says:
@CIV:  It's not uncommon.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: just nods at the CEO having no idea what she is talking about ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::says a prayer to her wolf spirit guide and works the commands for the SO::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: watches the view screen ::
SO_Love says:
:: Her hand steady, though she is not quite feeling so, she waits for the results, the sensors ready to record.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Preston: A simple precinct error and you have the person "escorted" out of the hall?  Seems rather harsh...
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: watches the Breen ship for any reaction ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Watches as the administrators escort the lady out of the hall::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::makes some notes::
Preston says:
@CIV:  People are still people, ma'am, and mistakes can be made.  Our administrators are as polite as possible.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Preston: Where are they taking her?
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::continues to monitor the power boards::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: plots an escape vector and evasive maneuvers just in case ::

ACTION: Claymore releases an energy discharge towards the Breen ship.

Preston says:
@CIV: They are merely directing her out of the hall where she can find her way to her correct precinct
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::watches the view screen for any reaction::
 SO_Love says:
:: Her eyes remain glued to the sensors.  Feeling slightly faint, she breaths.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: keeps her finger on the shield button ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Preston: I see...::Raises a suspicious eyebrow at the CO::

ACTION: The discharge pokes a small hole in the Breen's sensor scrambler for about 4 tenths of a second.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::knows the oxygen is thin so takes slow ones and shallow::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
Self: I hope it was long enough to get what we need.

ACTION: Claymore's sensors detect a power buildup from the Breen ship's weapons.

SO_Love says:
OPS:  Got it... I just... ummm... ma'am, power buildup from their weapons.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: raises shields ::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: Shields now.  Reaction on ships weapons.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Dump all remaining fusion reactors into the shields now.

ACTION: The Breen open fire on Claymore with aft weapons just as Claymore's shields pop up.

SO_Love says:
OPS:  Might want to take a short trip to the other side...
SO_Love says:
::Grabs her console::  Dang...

ACTION: Claymore is hit hard at point-blank range.

OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: takes:: hits the evasive maneuvers button and heads for the escape vector ::

ACTION: The ship shakes and sparks fly from consoles on the bridge.

SO_Love says:
::Mutters::  Guess they don't like nosy people.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: Take tactical!
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::moves to tactical::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@:: vaguely senses that something is wrong on the Claymore::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Looks over as the administrators walk back into the hall and take up their positions against the wall near the entrance::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CO*: We ar-re under-r attack.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
OPS: I have minor circuit damage all over the ship, tactical sensors were damaged, weapons lock is inoperable.

ACTION: Claymore receives an audio message from the Breen.  It states that their attack was a warning and not to attempt such a maneuvers again.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Lt.Johnson*: Reroute power through auxiliary ODN conduits for power to weapons lock.
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
SO: I got an idea.
SO_Love says:
:: Listening, tilts her head a bit surprised::  OPS:  All in all, that was rather polite.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Hears the COM from the ship and looks quickly over at the CO::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: runs the Claymore just out of range and turns her around adopting a more aggressive posture and sends a message back with a few choice words for the Breen ::
SO_Love says:
:: Hearing Chaser, blinks, a blush coming to her cheeks.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
SO: Fir-re on my ship again and they die.  :: her voice holds a deep growl rarely heard ::
SO_Love says:
:: Didn't doubt her::
CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks at the Lt. Cmdr::
