Host Russ says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::looks at Jeq dumbfounded:: CMO: What?

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: Seems to be a Simian of some kind.

CTO_Raash says:
@::in a shuttle, watching as the Scimitar comes on her sensor screen::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
Sec: Lower your weapons, wait by the door. We don't want to startle him.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: I can see that!

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: Can you wake him...her, up ?

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: Well, I'm glad you know what a "simian" is. I thought you'd ask me that first.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: I'd rather watch you try to wake it up.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: I did go to school before I became Mister Captain man.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::looks at her with that stern look::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: Just wake him up.

CTO_Raash says:
@::Opens hailing frequencies:: COM:Scimitar: Shuttle Craft Jensen to USS Scimitar, please come in.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
::starts poking at the monkey gently::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: Are you sure you're a real doctor?

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::walks around the examination table, studying the life form::

OPS_Schnapps says:
COM:Shuttle: This is the Scimitar, go ahead, Jensen.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: "Real doctors" don't go about using hyposprays willy-nilly.

CTO_Raash says:
@COM:Scimitar: Permission to dock, I am Lieutenant Haylin Raash, newly assigned to the Scimitar.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: It's just a little monkey¦ it's like waking up a dog. Would you want to wake your dog up with a shock?!

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::smiles at his friend:: CMO: I don't have a dog. Just wake him up already.

OPS_Schnapps says:
COM:Jensen: I'm opening bay doors now.  You may dock when ready.  Welcome aboard.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: He or she, I can't tell which it is, is a little sleepy apparently.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: What's wrong? His ship...we couldn't begin to make heads or tails of it, but it seemed damaged. Could he be injured?

CTO_Raash says:
@COM:Scimitar: Understood. ::slows to thruster control:: Proceeding to dock.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
::whips out a tricorder and starts scanning::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: Oh, NOW you scan him.

CTO_Raash says:
@::slides the shuttle into the shuttle bay and lands gently::

Host Russ says:
::The monkeys eyes flutter and open::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: Look here, baldy!

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::strokes a hand through his hair:: CMO: What ?

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: Oh hello. He's awake.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::tries to make eye contact with the Simian:: Pilot: Hello, you were injured. We transported you over to another vessel to help you. You are among friends.

Host Russ says:
::Just stares at the CO::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::smiles softly to not appear threatening:: Pilot: Do you understand me?

CTO_Raash says:
::disembarks::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
::tries not to laugh at the exchange::

FCO_Knicks says:
CTO: Welcome to the Scimitar.  I was told to have you report to Captain Rome.  He is currently in sickbay.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::glares at Jeq::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: Is the UT not working ?

CTO_Raash says:
FCO: Thanks.  ::tucks the PADD with her orders beneath her arm::  I'll return for my things after reporting in.

Host Russ says:
::The monkey sits up::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::holds his empty hands up in the universal peace greeting:: Pilot: Do you understand what I'm saying?

Host Russ says:
::Takes the tricorder from the doctor::

CTO_Raash says:
::heads out of the shuttlebay to get to sickbay::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
::is a little taken aback but lets the monkey do it's thing::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::just watches the pilot study the tricorder::

Host Russ says:
::The monkey pushes button on the tricorder and waves it around::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: What is he doing?

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: Hell if I know!

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: Why did I hire you again ?

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: Because I'm brilliant.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: And you needed me.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CMO: Something like that. ::smiles::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
Pilot: Do you know what that is? That's a tricorder, we use it to .... study the environment and people around us. That one would tell us if you are hurt, or sick.....do you have something like that on your ship?

Host Russ says:
::The monkey keeps pushing buttons and waving the tricorder around::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CO: I think we've been had.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
::takes the tricorder away from the monkey gently::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::turns his back to the pilot:: CMO: This makes no sense, run a complete cortical scan. I want to know if he's evolved enough to even pilot that vessel out there, or perhaps he's like Earth's first space-faring astronauts, guinea pigs.

CTO_Raash says:
::steps into sickbay then immediately stops at the sight of the human and the trill talking to a monkey::
Host Russ says:
::Pulls his hand back from the doctor while holding on to the tricorder::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::taps his badge:: *Engineering*: Engineering, send a technician over there to inspect the vessel. I want a full report on my desk in 5 hours.

CTO_Raash says:
::realizes that the human is also the captain and steps forward::  CO: Trouble with a pet?

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
CTO: You could say that...

Host Monkey says:
::Looks at the newcomer:: CTO: No, no trouble here.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::turns to the Lieutenant:: CTO: Pardon, Lieutenant.....?

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::turns around::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
::does a double take::

CTO_Raash says:
::whips the PADD out from beneath her arm and holds it out to the Captain:: CO: Lieutenant Haylin Raash, your new Tactical Chief.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
Monkey: So you do talk. ::smiles:: Welcome aboard.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Monkey: Can I€¦ ask your name? I'm Doctor Jeq.

Host Monkey says:
CMO: This is a rather simple device but quite effective.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::takes the PADD and puts it away on a surgical tray::

CTO_Raash says:
::wonders if the Captain is welcoming her on board or the monkey, then shakes her head::

CTO_Raash says:
CO: This your new Chief Engineer? ::points to the monkey::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Monkey: Um€¦ well, I guess.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::takes another look at the Lieutenant:: CTO: Lieutenant. This pilot is our guest, please behave accordingly. Attention, Mister.

Host Monkey says:
CTO: This ship is beneath my capabilities, I would never serve on such a simple vessel.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
Monkey: I am just glad that you are healthy, now if you would excuse me. The good doctor here will have to run some scans, and when she is finished I would be honored if you would join me in my ready room. Just ask her to accompany you.

CTO_Raash says:
CO: I was simply curious, Captain.  ::straightens up:: My behavior and dedication is never in question..  That is beneath the warrior's code.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::motions for the CTO to follow him as he reaches for the PADD and heads for the corridor::

CTO_Raash says:
::follows at two paces behind::

Host Monkey says:
CMO: How is my ship? Is it still operational?

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::steps outside and waits for the doors to close, then studies the PADD before looking at her:: CTO: Talarian, I don't think I've ever served with one of your people. Especially not a woman, pardon my bluntness. Welcome aboard Lieutenant.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::presses his thumb on the PADD and hands it back::

CTO_Raash says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  To my knowledge, I am the only Talarian female serving in Starfleet as far as I know.  It is against our traditions but my father thought that tradition outdated.

CTO_Raash says:
::takes the PADD::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CTO: Well I should feel honored then, to have the first female Talarian serving under my command. I take it you have some experience with the Akira class? ::motions for her to follow him to the Turbolift::

CTO_Raash says:
CO: I've studied the specs on all ships.  My previous assignment had me working on an Ambassador class.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Monkey: I have no idea. We are investigating that now€¦ um€¦ what do I call you?

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::nods and steps inside the Turbolift car::

Host Monkey says:
CMO: My name is Julian.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CTO: The Akira is much more agile, faster. More powerful. I think you will like it. ::smiles::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
TL: Bridge.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: Pleasure.

CTO_Raash says:
CO: As long as people know their jobs and do them well, I always enjoy my assignment, Captain.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CTO: Good you agree. ::steps out onto the Bridge::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: All your vitals seem to be fine. Can I do anything else for you? 

Host Julian says:
CMO: I am curious about this vessel.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CTO: Please take your station, Mister Raash. I want a full tactical analysis on that vessel out there, I hope you don't mind starting your shift immediately? No? Good.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::takes a seat in his chair and retrieves the latest report from Sciences::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: Well I'm sure I can arrange for Capt. Rome to see to that. 

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: He's the balding one with the beard you saw earlier.

CTO_Raash says:
::moves to tactical and logs into the station, then begins a full sensor scan of the alien ship::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
*CO*: Jeq to Rome. Our friend Julian would like to know more about the ship. I told him that you'd love to show him around. Should I bring him to the Bridge?

CO_Capt_Rome says:
*CMO*: Yes, thank you Doctor. Rome out.

CTO_Raash says:
::feeds the scans into an analysis program::

CO_Capt_Rome says:
CTO: Tell security to follow.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: If you could follow me€¦ ::starts to walk out of Sickbay::

Host Julian says:
::Follows the doctor::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: What planet do you come from?

Host Julian says:
CMO: Our planet is called Euruth

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: What's the system's name?

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::runs his hand through his hair again, thinking Jeq's just trying to mess with him::

Host Julian says:
CMO: Our planetary system is referred to as the Sorth system.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: I wish we had a map...

CTO_Raash says:
CO: Captain, I'm finding a singularity signature.  It may be a power source.

Host Julian says:
CMO: I don't even know where I am.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
::turns to look at his latest officer:: CTO: Run it against our databanks, compare it to Romulan singularity drives. There might be a link.

CO_Capt_Rome says:
Self: Singularity drives.....nasty piece of business.

CTO_Raash says:
::pulls up Romulan singularity drive technology and runs a comparison to the ship's scans::

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: Well, you're in the 24th century.

CMO_Dr_Jeq says:
Julian: I haven't looked outside yet so I'm not sure where we are exactly but I'm sure Capt. Rome will tell you all about it! ::grins::

CTO_Raash says:
::frowns as the analysis is complete:: CO: Captain, the singularity signature is similar to a Romulan's power, but there are some vast differences.

Host Julian says:
