[21:05:06] <SM_James> Summary: Claymore is making preparations to send their prisoners back to DS3 by way of USS eminence. By now, many of the needed supplies should be making their way aboard the ship, and the needed personnel will soon follow. Meanwhile, Claymore prepares to depart to fill the Kingston's role at the Breen border. Dividing will help Claymore accomplish its objectives, but at what cost? 

[21:05:06] <SM_James> There is, after all, always a cost.

[21:09:25] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Sitting at SCI 1 going over the written orders that just came through from the CO.::

[21:09:34] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  ::aboard the Eminence, double checking the security around the prisoners.::

[21:09:38] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::On the Eminence, checking the adaptations used to attach the biobeds to the ship. Resisting the urge to be distracted by all the "toys" on board this ship.::

[21:10:11] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> CEO: Anything I should know about your set up?

[21:10:22] @<Eminence> ::the avatar stands off to one side in the adapted/makeshift sickbay while Brax checks over the configurations::

[21:10:28]  <MOPS_Ltjg_Gulash> ::arrives on the Bridge, a little behind schedule but he at least wanted to be set up before Eminence and Claymore parted ways::

[21:11:22] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> :: on the bridge, doing a standard check of the area.::

[21:11:28] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> CTO: It should work just the same as the biobeds on the Claymore. Of course that's assuming nothing goes wrong. But we should be good. And if not, I'll keep a close eye on it.

[21:11:33] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::happens to be looking towards the turbolift when Gulash strides out from it; he exchanges glances with the Klingon before resuming some slow, low-level pacing::

[21:12:19] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: Looks around::  CEO:  Just so you know, there is no wood around here.

[21:12:25] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> :: Checking the vitals of the prisoners for the third time::

[21:12:49] <FCO> ::looks up from his console after a few moments:: CO: Captain, I have our course for Kingston's patrol route.

[21:12:50] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> :: lightly nods her head as she sees the area is basically clear on sensors.::

[21:12:52] <MOPS_Ltjg_Gulash> ::sits down at his usual--when there's away teams--station and begins configuring it::

[21:12:54] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Raps knuckles against her head.:: CTO: This is close enough.

[21:13:04] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::in the morgue, looking a bit more like someone who should be a resident than a visitor.::

[21:13:05] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::In the XO's seat, where she probably ought to be more frequently, but deeply engrossed in a report she's reading::

[21:13:13] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::pauses::  FCO: How long would it take at Warp 7 for us to get into position?

[21:13:19] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: lightly chuckles::

[21:14:04] <OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::on the bridge at the operations station::

[21:14:20] <FCO> CO: Their closest waypoint puts us 11.5 hours away at that speed, sir.

[21:14:23] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::First, starts cataloging the anomalies that the CO was asking about.::

[21:14:35] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> CMO/CEO: Anyone see Dr. Attler?

[21:15:24] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::folds his hands behind his back; 11.5 hours seems a long time to have this gap in their patrol network::  FCO: Stand by.

[21:17:41] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::drifts back towards the center chair, finally sitting down in it, albeit a little uneasily::

[21:17:47] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  CEO/CMO:  Also, Mr. Fong will not be joining us.  I will need to adjust the shifts a bit... basically so that we are overlapping.

[21:18:46] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> CTO: Not yet. rn::Stands up after inspecting the closest biobed.:: All: I'm confident in the connections ability to make the biobeds function.

[21:18:47] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Once she manually starts cataloging the anomalies that Davis asked for, she starts an search of the Kingston's logs for the same types of anomalies that may be mentioned there.::

[21:20:05] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::looks at Raeyld::

[21:20:13] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Reaches back down for the tool bags, both the standard and personal.::

[21:20:16] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> CTO: Understandable. I think we should be fine for the trip with just three

[21:21:08] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  CMO/CEO:  I need us all to step out of the room.  ::Glances over at the AI.::  I want to double check the security system.

[21:21:16] <OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::looks at the command staff and fidgets slightly, then checks over the statuses again::

[21:21:42] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Looks a bit surprised for about half a second, then nods and steps out of the room.::

[21:21:51] @<Eminence> CEO: Does everything meet with your satisfaction, ensign Brax? ::the avatar raises an eyebrow as the CTO clears the room::

[21:22:05] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Wrinkles her brow as she notices something strange.::

[21:22:34] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Looks back over to Davis:: ::Almost beneath her breath:: CO: ...having second thoughts?

[21:23:20] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> XO: Depends on what we're talking about.  ::pause; awkward::  What's your workload like right now?

[21:23:34] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: As soon as the room is clear, she looks over at the AI again.::  Eminence: Activate your security system for this room.

[21:23:53] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> Eminence: So far it's all ship shape. Thank you...do we call you Eminence or something else?

[21:25:02] <MES_LtJG_V'Mehl> ::Monitoring Claymore Status from the Bridge Engineering Station.::

[21:25:08] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: Ma'am...::Looking up from the console to the XO's seat::  I've got something.  I don't know if it's important, but ...

[21:25:39] <MOPS_Ltjg_Gulash>  ::looks at V'Mehl for a moment and then makes a sound; it might be a grunt, but it could also be clearing a baseball-size blob of snot from his throat::

[21:25:41] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Raises half an eyebrow, a hint of a smile curling at the edge of her lips for some reason:: CO: A little too manageable. Want to change that?

[21:26:09] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::gestures towards Simmons, who he had just overheard as Raeyld responded::

[21:26:16] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Breaks aways to look over to Simmons:: CSO: I'm a fan of information, important or not. What do you have, Lieutenant?

[21:26:27] @<Eminence> CTO: ::another raise of the eyebrow:: The security systems are active, lieutenant. Internal sensors, automated defense systems, anti-intrusion countermeasures. ::she looks away a moment, and a display activates across the room, showing the CTO a precise map of everything on the ship, up to and including the physical restraints holding their prisoners::

[21:26:33] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::sits back in his chair for a moment, letting Simmons report out::

[21:26:51] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::with nominal clearance to access the corpse in stasis Fong moves towards it, the lights in the morgue are always low, but he feels like it is darker than normal.::

[21:27:34] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: does her own check::  Eminence:  Thank you.

[21:28:11] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::With her head, she nods to the console.:: XO: I'm noting on the Kingston's logs that they had some kind of a shadow following them.  It was at quite a distance, but it kept popping up on their sensors. You can see it, here, here, here, and a ton more. ::Gestures::

[21:28:12] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> CMO:  As soon as you find Dr. Attler, we are good to go on this end.

[21:28:36] @<Eminence> ::as the CEO is outside the medical area, her voice comes from somewhere in the corridor, as any ship's computer would:: *CEO*: You may call me Eminence, ensign. It is my designation, after all.

[21:29:10] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  CEO: That...somehow isn't comforting, you know?

[21:29:25] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Moves over to Simmons’s console, resting a hand on the back of her chair as she leans over the Lieutenant's shoulder to view the console, a small frown furrowing her brow:: CSO: Hm...  Is this something you could analyze our own past sensor records for, or can we only detect it now that you know what we're looking for?

[21:31:52] @<Eminence> CTO: Doctor Attler is presently on the bridge, lieutenant. Shall I advise him you're looking for him?

[21:32:04] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::checks the status of the stasis field, then he begins running a tricorder over the the body, feeding as much raw data into an isolated file as he could, the faint glimmer of the stasis field was adding a bit of complexity to the scan::

[21:32:11] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: I can absolutely look for that.  Just a sec. ::Starts a scan from her console.:: Let's see what our scans pick up.    I'm not saying that I know it is something, but it's possible.

[21:32:14] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> CTO\/Eminence: I just finished here, mind if I tag along?

[21:33:13] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> Eminence: Thank you.  We just needed to make sure he was aboard.  Might be a bit problematic if we leave him behind.  :: Heads for the lift to take them to the bridge as she talks.::

[21:34:16] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> CMO: I was going to call her Ardvarc...or Automated Roving Defense Vehicle Avatar Robotic Caretaker. Just sounds more...easy to talk to with that name.

[21:34:32] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: As they step into the lift, she orders it to the bridge::

[21:34:48] @<Eminence> ::nods once, and turns to leave the medical area as the CTO steps into a lift::

[21:35:03] @<SM_James> ACTION: No sooner does the CTO enter the lift than does it start moving, even before the order is given.

[21:35:06] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> CEO: I could gt behind that. Ardvarc is good

[21:35:09] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Nods a bit:: CSO: Regardless, let's set up active scanning and a high-notice alert should we detect a similar shadow in Claymore's sensor range going forward. And send this data to Eminence before they depart, so they can do the same. I'll let Dr. Stevens know to anticipate that information.

[21:35:16] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO:  Okay, I'm not getting anything on the sensors at the moment, but I can set them to ping anytime that we do pick it up.

[21:35:19] <MOPS_Ltjg_Gulash> ::requests AT communications aboard Eminence through Operations--at least, for now, until Eminence departs::

[21:35:19] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Taps her combadge:: *CMO*: Raeyld to Stevens.

[21:35:32] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> *XO* Stevens here, go ahead

[21:35:41] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::stands and now approaches Raeyld::

[21:35:42] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: not far to go, the lift stops and she steps off onto the bridge.::

[21:35:48] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Chuckles.:: XO: Ever heard the saying you owe me a beer?

[21:36:04] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: Well in regards to saying the same time as someone else at the same time that is.

[21:36:09] <OPS2_Ens_Deveraux> ::patches mission ops through to the AT's communication channels.::

[21:36:32] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: I'm going to keep scrolling through these and see if anything else significant pops up.

[21:36:37] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> *CMO*: Lieutenant Simmons will be sending you some important data before Eminence departs - she may have determined a way to identify the presence of these hostile forces on sensors before they attack a ship. We want to be sure Eminence is prepared to scan for the same signs before you leave.

[21:36:55] <MOPS_Ltjg_Gulash> ::notes the almost immediately approval and begins arraying different comm badges on his screen so he can quickly access comms::

[21:37:42] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> *XO* Understood. We're doing final preparations before departing

[21:37:55] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> *CMO*: Excellent. Raeyld out. ::Smiles a bit, glancing briefly to the approaching Davis, then back to Simmons:: CSO: I hadn't, but as soon as you let me know which of us owes the beer, I'll add it to my colloqueity.

[21:38:36] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Nods and starts getting a report together for the CMO::

[21:38:39] @<Dr_Attler> ::sitting in the center chair of what looks to be a standard Starfleet bridge, with consoles for the usual stations though all appear to be offline and locked down at present, save the console he works at on the arm of the captain's chair - he taps at it occasionally, making a few adjustments, as the CTO enters::

[21:38:54] @<SM_James> ACTION: As the CTO gains entry, the tactical console comes online.

[21:38:57] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Reaches into her smaller tool bag and pulls out a PADD, linking it to Eminence's systems to be able to monitor critical functions, especially the status of the biobeds.::

[21:39:48] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::sighs slightly and pulls a deep tissue holo-imager from the bag he brought with him. He begins running it over the body attentively feeding more data into the file with the tricorder scans::

[21:40:02] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: moves to stand at the tactical station, looking over the basics.::

[21:40:04] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::has been listening in::  XO: We can begin feeding some of that data to our tactical department too to establish a targeting profile for whatever this is. Whatever we can glean from Science can then supplement what we have.

[21:40:48] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::steps out of the turbolift:: Dr_Attler: Prisoners are safe and Claymore is beaming over some information about our enemy. Once we have that, we can move out.

[21:40:49] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::While the information begins to populate on the information she's attaching to the report to the CMO, she continues going through the information.::

[21:42:31] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Glancing over the PADD as it links in. Heads to join the others on the Bridge.::

[21:43:31] @<SM_James> ACTION: The tactical display shifts to match the configuration the CTO typically uses on the Claymore. All of Eminence's weapons are currently offline, all of her shield generators are inactive, and while the AI currently controls all, access from this station has been granted to override.

[21:43:41] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Starts to notice something else.:: XO: Sir.  I'm also noticing that before the Kingston sensors go offline, there's a fluctuation in the readouts.  I'm also attaching that to the CMO's message.::

[21:44:43] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  ::nods her head::  AI:  Eminence, thank you.

[21:44:45] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> CO: On it, sir.  CSO: A fluctuation how?

[21:44:53] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  CMO: I have access to all tactical systems.

[21:46:25] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Steps onto the Bridge.:: All: Well this is a lot more recognizable than I expected. Not sure what I expected actually. ::Steps towards the Engineering station.::

[21:46:25] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: These signals that the Kingston picked up from time to time.  Right here.  ::Points:: See these readings and how they don't go away, but they fluctuate.  That's what I'm talking about.  And then the Kingston's sensors went out.

[21:47:31] @<Dr_Attler> All: Eminence is designed to be fully automated, but will relinquish control if there's a Starfleet presence aboard who wants her to. ::as he says this, the engineering station comes online and reconfigures itself to Brax's preference as she approaches::

[21:47:55] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: looks over at Brax, understanding.::

[21:48:18] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::In the middle of the conversation sends the information to the CMO as well.::

[21:49:04] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::moves back towards the center chair::

[21:49:41] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> Dr Attler: Good foresight there. It's just I...I don't know. Thought it would be minimalist stations at best. For maintenance access or something. Impressive design of the ship, from an engineer's point of view. ::Sets PADD on the edge of the console, still actively monitoring the Biobeds.::

[21:49:48] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> All: That's...pretty cool. Makes me feel a little left out though ::she chuckles awkwardly::

[21:50:29] @<Eminence> *All*: My function is to run this ship. However, if it is preferred that you manage aspects of that function, I can accommodate. This is, after all, a Starfleet ship. I am its crew.

[21:51:37] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: simply nods her head and looks over at Stevens, waiting to head out.::

[21:51:49] @<Dr_Attler> ::grins slightly:: CMO: Y.you're effective... effectively the captain, lieutenant. I.if you... you want to be. ::he stands up, and - as if she's done this so many times before - the AI logs him out of the command console and disengages it::

[21:52:09] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Furrows her brow more deeply in thought - this aspect of the sciences is definitely not her forte:: CSO: So...you're saying the signals were always present, but changing, until sensors went out? Do we have a timeline on how long it was between sensors going out and the Kingston deviating from expected behavior?

[21:52:10] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::sets the scanner up and moves to the controls for the stasis pod.  He hesitates then starts the temporary shut down sequence so he can get a clean set of scans::

[21:53:13] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  Dr_Attler: Oh! Uh...thank you. Ummm, you can...you can stay there. I can run things from... ::looks over the bridge and picks a seat nearby:: there, right?

[21:53:16] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> *Eminence*: I'll only request an alteration if I see a problem. Or an opening. So far, I'm just nervous about the...other passengers. As long as there's no need, I'll leave Engineering in your hands. Appendages?

[21:54:16] <SM_James> ACTION: The stasis field begins to deactivate, allowing the body to be exposed to the environment. The scans fluctuate just slightly, but stabilize.

[21:56:14] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::watches the status monitors, he catches sight of some bit of movement out of the corner of his eye and his hand goes to his hip before he forces himself to relax::

[21:56:51] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: does a sensor run of the area.::

[21:57:06] @<Eminence> *CEO*: I understand, ensign. Words are hard. ::the smile is evident in her voice::

[21:57:23] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: seeing that all is clear, as it should be, she pulls up another screen, this one of medical.::

[21:57:31] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: Between the time the fluctuations start and the Kingston detected weapons fire and the sensors go out was less than 2 minutes.

[21:58:52] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> *Eminence*: I'm more skilled with machines than words. Caused a few...bruised egos growing up. Most of my "peers" didn't have much use for machines. Not like I had anyway.

[21:59:43] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> XO: Commander, I am picking up a temporal signature on internal sensors.

[22:00:22] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Shifts to the other side of Simmons chair for a moment, growing a bit physically weary leaning over the console from the one side, and takes that as an opportunity to try to wrap her brain around this::

[22:00:55] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> CSO: So if I'm understanding correctly...there were sensor shadows, consistently, for some amount of time...then at time X those shadows began to fluctuate, then the Kingston detected weapons fire, and by X2, sensors were out? Is that accurate?

[22:01:18] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::looks at his tricorder and starts the process of reactivating the stasis field::

[22:01:22] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  CTO: I like that one, can I have that one?

[22:01:34] @<Eminence> *CEO*: It's our hope that perceptions will change, as resources become more limited.

[22:01:52] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> CSO: One moment.  TAC: Where?

[22:02:07] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns, having been fiddling with a report or two at his console::

[22:02:23] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> XO: Not sure... hold on while I get a lock.

[22:03:00] <SM_James> ACTION: The stasis field reactivates, and Fong's scans fluctuate again, before stabilizing.

[22:03:29] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> XO:  It was in medical... stasis area,  but... it is fading now.

[22:04:15] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::frowns and looks at Raeyld::

[22:04:34] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::sighs and shakes his head checking to see the scan quality from that brief moment and if it is enough to build the holo version::

[22:04:57] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> *Eminence*: My machines were a lot more simple than you are. But perceptions do change over time. Once the delivery is made I look forward to spending a bit more time trying to understand how you operate.

[22:05:12] @<SM_James> ACTION: As Stevens approaches one of the bridge stations, it activates, and reconfigures itself to function as a command console.

[22:05:24] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Sighs, very silently, to herself:: TAC: What personnel do we have presently in that area?

[22:05:31] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: looks over::  CMO:  You want me to put medical up on the main screen?  I can put it near the corner so we have constant visual.

[22:06:32] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  CTO: Yes please, I would like that very much

[22:06:46] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> CMO/ CTO: I've also got the Biobed readings mirrored on my PADD. It won't be taken off the PADD until they are delivered. But the more eyes we have on it the better.

[22:07:29] @<SM_James> ACTION: Before the CTO can enter the command, the medical scan readout appears in the top left corner of the viewscreen.

[22:08:09] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> XO: Lieutenant Fong.

[22:09:17] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  CMO: Except it could end up crossing commands, that makes orders easy.

[22:09:32] @<Dr_Attler> CMO: U.Unless t.there's anything you... you still n.need to do, l.lieutenant, Eminence i.is clear for... for the trip to Deep Space 3.

[22:10:40] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens smiles at Dr Attler:: Eminence: Eminence, under way, if you will.

[22:11:16] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> TAC: That's likely some kind of result of Lieutenant Fong proceeding on his and Lieutenant Simmons’ Kethran investigation. Reach out to Fong to notify him of the anomaly you detected.

[22:11:48] @<SM_James> ACTION: Almost unnoticeably, Eminence engages her engines. Once clear of Claymore, she jumps to warp 6, and again, it's barely noticeable.

[22:12:56] @<Eminence> *All*: ETA at Deep Space 3 is 17 hours, 57 minutes, and 42 seconds. Please enjoy your flight.

[22:13:20] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  All: That....that's...really cool... but kinda creepy.

[22:13:22] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> *OPS*:  Mr. Fong, this is the bridge.  Whatever you were just doing, you created an anomaly... sensors picked up a temporal signature... briefly.

[22:13:59] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  Dr_Attler: No offense! I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking about...It's just odd to see all of...this...

[22:14:22] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> All: Since we didn't notice that, it appears the Inertial Dampeners are working as expected. Or better. That was smooth as a freshly polished console.

[22:14:28] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO; To answer your last question, Yes.  That's how it looks.

[22:14:42] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  CMO: So that we are overlapping each other and getting rest, I suggest one of us takes their rest in about an hour.  ::looks at Brax with a smile::  Once some curiosity is laid to rest.

[22:14:57] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::Jumps at the sudden sound of a voice. He looks accusingly at the corpse:: Kethrin: Lookatwhatyoudid. Yougotthebridgeworried.  *TAC* Noted.

[22:16:08] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> CSO: All right. So we at least can surmise the sensor shadows fluctuating was the last-minute warning before the Kingston was impacted. Could... ::Hesitates:: ...could we be looking at some kind of *cloaked* vessel? One that can initiate transport under cloak - but possibly disrupting the cloak slightly in the process?

[22:16:26] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  All: I could take first watch. As long as I'm not last watch

[22:16:40] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> CTO: My curiosity is over ridden by my...feelings about the other passengers. It will hold until the return trip.

[22:16:43] <TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> XO:  Commander, Eminence is enroute.

[22:17:04] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::moves back towards Raeyld with that announcement from Bellerose::

[22:17:24] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> TAC: Noted. Thank you, Ensign.  ::Glances back to Davis with a sort of "Now what?" look::

[22:17:57] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> CEO: You cannot be alert if you do not get rest.

[22:18:21] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: I'm not sure, but I can check into it.

[22:18:24] @<Eminence> *CMO*: I took no offense, lieutenant. ::pauses a moment, a very calculated moment:: Or commander?

[22:18:36] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::reads that look pretty well::  XO: If we're somewhat sure the temporal anomaly was the result of whatever Fong did, and it won't re-emerge unexpectedly, we probably want to head towards Kingston's patrol route.

[22:18:38] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> CEO/CMO: Then it looks like I will take the first break.  If anything comes up, let me know.

[22:18:52] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> All: I know. I meant my curiosity is taking a back seat, to rest as well as my urge to take a closer look at Eminence.

[22:20:56] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: Comparing what we know of cloaks with this....it's not likely, but it IS possible.

[22:21:03] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: leaves her station as is as she heads for the lift::  CEO:  Enjoy your curiosity for a bit.  :: steps into the lift and orders it to deck two::

[22:21:26] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens>  ::Stevens blushes a little:: Eminence: Uh, yes, sorry....

[22:22:05] @<SM_James> ACTION: The tactical console shuts down and locks out. And as before, the lift starts moving before the CTO gives her order.

[22:22:53] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Nods:: CO: Sounds good to me.  TAC: Obtain a report from Lieutenant Fong of what led to the triggering of the anomaly. Let's verify this was within expected parameters.  CSO: Well, at least based on the logs, this isn't just some kind of "telepathic cloak" - whatever their using seems to be mechanical, based on the sensor data.

[22:23:16] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: As the doors open she steps off and heads for the room they had set up for their quarters for this trip.::

[22:25:16] @<CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Keeps one eye on the Biobed readouts and the other on what Eminence is seeing on sensors, wondering just how much the ship can see? No, that's a question for later.::

[22:25:24] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::nods and turns::  FCO: Lay in your previous course to the Kingston's patrol route. Warp Factor 9.

[22:25:50] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: looking around the room, she grabs the gear she had dropped by the door earlier and takes it to the bed, claiming the upper bunk.::

[22:26:13] <FCO> Heading 273 mark 155, warp factor 9. Set and on your order, captain.

[22:26:32] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> FCO: Engage.

[22:27:26] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore reorients itself slightly, and nearly following Kingston's exact course away from the border, she engages at warp, their previous meeting spot a distant memory.
