Host AGM_Erryn says:
MISSION SUMMARY: The crew of the Artemis, after a surprisingly non-rowdy two days of leave on SB 185, is waiting for their replacement ship.

Host AGM_Erryn says:
They don't even know what class of ship the Polaris is, but will find out soon - it just entered sensor range.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ross says:
::Standing in SB OPS, awaiting the arrival of the USS Polaris::

CTO_Somak says:
::stands on the promenade, staring out in space hoping to catch a glimpse of the Polaris::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::stands with Somak, watching curiously::

CEO_Russel says:
::standing beside the SO.::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
CO: It seems a bit odd that they didn't tell you what class the Polaris is.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::walking around the Promenade, thinking of his wife::

CEO_Russel says:
SO:  What kind of ship do you think it'll be?

FCO_Teasley says:
::standing with the SO and CEO::

Host CO_Ross says:
SBCO:  I've never heard of this being done before, not in peacetime anyway ::looks at the sensor display board::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::nods:: CO: Same here. I presume you looked in the registry?

Host CO_Ross says:
SBCO:  I've looked and then 'looked' if you know what I mean, and there is nothing, so strange it is uncanny

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CEO: Knowing ourrr luck, a frrreighterrr..

CEO_Russel says:
::Chuckles.::

CTO_Somak says:
::jumps in:: CEO/SO/FCO: At this stage, it could be anything. With the loss of the Artemis, StarFleet will probably send something less... good. ::returns to staring::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
CO: 'Uncanny' may not be the right word. There hasn't been a Polaris in decades...what are they up to? ::gives the captain a suspicious glance:: Did you do something ELSE to tick them off?

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO/SO/CEO: It will probably be something that needs repairs all the time

CEO_Russel says:
CTO/SO/FCO:  Maybe we'll be lucky and get a Constitution.

CTO_Somak says:
FCO: All ships do, lieutenant.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
<SBOPS> SBCO: The Polaris has docked. ::manages to maintain an expressionless face::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::as he turns a bend, he sees Somak, Russel, Teasley and Sozor staring out a window::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::snorts and nods, Terran-fashion:: CEO/FCO/CTO: Starrrfleet is unlikely to trrrust valuable assets to crrrrews that lose theirrr ships like that.. let alone destrrroy them purrrposefully.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
CO: Well, captain...I'm curious myself. Mind if I accompany you?

Host CO_Ross says:
SBCO:  Well firing and destroying one's ship, even with the authority and permission to do so, kind of takes the wind out of ones sails, if you know what I mean.  It would not surprise me to find the Polaris a refit constitution class ::grins::

CEO_Russel says:
CTO/SO/FCO:  Where is it?  It should be here by now.

CTO_Somak says:
SO/CEO/FCO: It depends on the Admiral assigning this to us, they may sympathize with us, they may not.

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO/CTO/SO: Maybe a shuttle where we can all experience that class 2 claustrophobia

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ACTION: The Polaris has cleverly docked in the ONE port where it won't be visible from inside the station.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::raises an eyebrow as he steps onto the lift:: CO: Refit? They don't do that very often...

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Well then the counselor will have a lot of work.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::shudders at the FCO's words, the open plains and savannas of his homeworld beckoning to him::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::still thinking of his wife, he walks up to them:: CTO/CEO/SO/FCO: What’s going on gentlemen?

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: We're wondering what kind of ship we'll get sir

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  We're trying to get a glimpse of the Polaris.

CTO_Somak says:
XO: Sir. We're awaiting the arrival of the Polaris.

Host CO_Ross says:
::Stands beside his friend, SB CO Mobly as the doors close::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO/CEO/SO/FCO: Knowing Star Fleet, I don't think they'll birth it here

CTO_Somak says:
XO: Sir?

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::shrugs:: XO: What they said, sirrr. 

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::steps out onto the docking hub::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Excuse me sir

CMO_Bryn says:
::Slips into the Promenade and looks around for the others.::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO/CEO/SO/FCO: Just think, a new ship and all, I think they'll be sneaky and surprise us, docking it elsewhere

CTO_Somak says:
::raises an eyebrow at the XO:: XO: The point being... ?

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
XO: Why?

CMO_Bryn says:
::Seeing the others by a window, heads over towards them.::

CEO_Russel says:
CTO/XO/SO/FCO:  The Captain will let us know when it docks, right?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::wishes Jerni were here with him::

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: I hope so

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO/CEO/SO/FCO: No point, trust me

CTO_Somak says:
CEO: Lieutenant, it would be irrelevant for him to deliver the message to everyone.... I assume we must find out ourselves.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Slips into the group, catching the last few sentences.::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::lashes his tail slowly back and forth and growls slightly::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::Steps up to the docking port, noting on the display that command has already been turned over to the starbase, and the skeleton crew off to romp on the promenade::

CEO_Russel says:
::notices the CMO::  CMO:  Hi, doc.

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO/SO/CTO/XO: Every time we were given a ship, we always returned in pieces

CMO_Bryn says:
::Nods::  CEO:  Matt.  ::Looks around::  And so we wait.

CTO_Somak says:
::walks over to a console and checks arrival times.::

Host CO_Ross says:
::follows beside CO Mobly towards the docking port's airlock::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ACTION: The airlock doors open, on the opposite side of the starbase from where most of the Artemis crew expected.

CEO_Russel says:
CTO:  You think so?  Nah, the captain will comm us.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Notes Sozor's agitation::  SO:  Problems?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Ah Dr. so glad you could join us ::smiles::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::clears his throat:: ALL: 'We' arrre not inclusive of those of us who have only been assigned to one ship in theirrr carrreerrrrs...

FCO_Teasley says:
CMO: Glad to have with us

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::steps into the ship and looks at the registry plates:: SELF/CO: Well, I'll be damned.

Host CO_Ross says:
::looking around for anything familiar::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
CO: You really DID tick somebody off.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Smiles at McPherson::  XO:  Thanks.

CTO_Somak says:
::returns to the group:: All: Everyone! The ship is docked, follow me.

CMO_Bryn says:
FCO:  Ready to take the helm of a new ship Joe?

CTO_Somak says:
::begins walking toward the port with the Polaris attached::

FCO_Teasley says:
CMO: I hope so

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Shakes his head at the doctor and follows along with the group::

CEO_Russel says:
::looks at the others, feeling the excitement.  Follows the CTO.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::follows the group::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Told you

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::sighs:: COMPUTER: Transfer all command codes for the U.S.S. Polaris to Captain Ross, authorization Zeta phi twenty-seven.

CTO_Somak says:
::continues walking:: XO: Sir, you have a strange mind... and curiously, it works.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Quietly::  SO:  You sure?

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
<COMPUTER> SBCO: Codes transferred.

CEO_Russel says:
::catches the CTO's comment.::  CTO:  Was that humor, Mr. Somak?

Host CO_Ross says:
SBCO:  Wonderful!

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Nods in Terran fashion at her:: CMO: I just need to... rrrrelax.

CMO_Bryn says:
SO:  Yea... unfortunately we have not really taken that opportunity.  Join Jason and I later for dinner?

FCO-Teasley says:
CMO/CTO/CMO/XO/SO: StarFleet’s either going to court martial us or promote us.  Either way, we're going to be in a lot trouble

Host CO_Ross says:
*Computer*:  This is Captain Joshua Gunn Ross, activate Voice authorization Ross Alpha Tango 37

CTO_Somak says:
CEO: Did I say something humorous?

CMO_Bryn says:
FCO:  How do you figure a promotion?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::in a strong Scottish accent, stronger than normal:: CTO: Yes was that an attempt at humor?

CEO_Russel says:
CTO:  Nevermind...

FCO-Teasley says:
CMO: More paper work

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Nods softly at the doctor:: CMO: Verrry well, thank you.

CMO_Bryn says:
SO:  Our pleasure.

CMO_Bryn says:
FCO:  We get a promotion for paperwork?  Geesh, then they can keep the promotions thank you kindly.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::shakes head and offers hand:: CO: Well, good luck, captain.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Looks up to see her captain and smiles.::

CEO_Russel says:
::His excitement grows as they near the docking port.::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::perks up his ears curiously and peers in through the airlock::

CTO_Somak says:
::slows down, hoping the rest of the group will see what he sees::

Host CO_Ross says:
SBCO:  ::Shakes his hand, thanks, I think.......well I'll be on Earth in a fortnight, I'll send you a message when I get there

FCO_Teasley says:
CMO: They promote us, so they can give us more paper work

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::nods, and leaves the crew to their "new" ship::

CMO_Bryn says:
FCO:  Ah... so that is what we keep doing wrong.  Remind me not to get promoted.

Host CO_Ross says:
@COMM: XO:  #1, if you will gather our crew, the ship is at Docking bay 7

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::clears his throat for the Captain's benefit, loudly::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Smiles as she hears the comm::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO* : On our way now Sir

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
ALL: Dock 7, everyone

CMO_Bryn says:
CO:  Like right now sir.  Prompt are we not?

CTO_Somak says:
::nods to the SBCO, keeping his hands by his side respectfully::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::disappears around a curve of the docking ring::

CEO_Russel says:
::Steps through the airlock.::

Host CO_Ross says:
ALL:  Well, everyone, looks like we have a lot of work ahead of us :: wipes the dust off the railing on the bridge:: 

Host CO_Ross says:
XO:  Well #1, looks like your first command will be a Miranda Refit

CMO_Bryn says:
::Sneezes at the dust::  CO:  Where did they dig up this ship?

Host CO_Ross says:
XO:: ::Sarcastically speaking::  Only about 100 years old, and probably taken from some forgotten mothball yard

CTO_Somak says:
::listens in:: Self: Miranda? How... unfortunate.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Mumbles::  I hate to see the medical facilities.

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Captain, is this permanent?

CEO_Russel says:
Self:  Great, just great.

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO:  Expect the worse Mr. Somak, hope for the best

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::about falls to the floor:: CO: This bucket of bolts?

Host CO_Ross says:
ALL:  Alright, we can cry in our post toasties tomorrow, we have permission to get underway,  Get all ships hands to get the ship back in order, #1, start provisioning the ship, make all preparations for getting underway

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::sighs and shakes his head:: ALL: You know.. I did not enlist into Starrrfleet merrrely to have the best starrrship. It is a grrreat honorrr and we arrre luckierrr than most to have a ship at all, let alone rrreprrresent the Federrration. Don't we have medical aid to be grrranting?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: We'll be the laughing stock of Star Fleet

CMO_Bryn says:
CO:  Post toasties?

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO/CEO: What a piece of junk, huh?

CEO_Russel says:
SO:  I guess you're right...  My grandfather served on one of these...

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::sets off towards Science and begins brining systems online::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::walks over to what may look like the XO's chair:: CO: Aye Sir

CTO_Somak says:
FCO: Lieutenant, we should accept it. StarFleet obviously wants us to get back on their good side.

CTO_Somak says:
::enters the bridge and takes tactical, giving the console a big wipe before turning it on::

Host CO_Ross says:
::looks over to where a ready room should be,.....but there isn’t one::

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Yes, but they could've given us a better ship

CMO_Bryn says:
CO:  Sir, how much time do we have to provision this ship?

CTO_Somak says:
FCO: Lieutenant, there are simply not enough ships to go around. This may be the low.. lowest point of your career, but you must accept it.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ACTION: It takes two or three tries for the SO to get each system online...when it comes online at all.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
:shakes his head and lays his ears flat, lashing his tail in growing irritation::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::begins to recalling the rest of the crew and sends a requisition list to SB Quartermaster::

Host CO_Ross says:
::Begins walking about the bridge, looking at the consoles of all the systems

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks over to the SO.::  SO:  So, what do I need to fix?

Host CO_Ross says:
CMO:  I would say about an hour

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::growls and spits invective that doesn't translate:: CEO: Nearrrly everrrything...

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ACTION: Unknown (but suspected) to the crew, as word of the assignment races through the station, civilians laugh and veterans cringe and wince.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Nods::  CO:  Not much time.  Do we already have the supplies for this mission?

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: We'll we able to get something out of her, she's pretty old

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Chief, have your repair teams look over this hunk of tin. Have them inspect every inch of this relic

CEO_Russel says:
SO:  I hope the Admirals get a good laugh out of this one...

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  Aye...  I'll have them get out and push too.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Looks at Matt, thinking he could use a lot of hands about now.::

CTO_Somak says:
::nods to the FCO, and starts work on tactical systems::

FCO_Teasley says:
::blows the dust off the helm::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Make sure the warp core is in good shape and we have enough dilithium

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  Aye.  I'll be down in Main Engineering...

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: With an old rumble, the main power systems kick on. A smattering of notes and abandoned PADDs around the ship beg for attention.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Pictures in her mind an old picture of someone shoveling coal into a furnace.  The face is Matt's::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::rises up and slams both fists into his console and snarls:: CO: CAPTAIN! Perrrmission to leave the Brrridge!

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::takes his hands and wipes the dust from his chair::

FCO_Teasley says:
::checks his nav. computer::

Host CO_Ross says:
SO:  Permission denied Mr. Sozor, stay at your station, and prepare to get underway

CMO_Bryn says:
::Lays a hand on Sozor::

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks to the turbolift.  Enters.::  TL:  Deck...  On which deck is Main Engineering?

CMO_Bryn says:
XO:  Please make sure we have supplies for the mission as well as the ship... a miracle for the ship would be nice.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::shakes and visibly shudders, eyes narrowed to slits and nearly takes Bryn's head off at the sudden touch, calming himself and settling back into his chair with effort::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Dr. I've sent the requisition to the Quartermaster

FCO_Teasley says:
::sneezes from the dust::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Seeing the SO is calm, starts to head out::  XO:  Was a miracle included?

Host CO_Ross says:
*Shipwide*:  Attention shipmates, this is the Captain, I know everyone is shocked at the state of our 'new' ship, but we must make the best of her, we have a mission to begin, so I want everyone to focus on their job and get it done, there is a planet to save from an outbreak of Andorian flu, so lets get with it, Captain out

CMO_Bryn says:
::Slips through the doors::  Computer:  Sickbay... wherever that is on this ship.

Host CO_Ross says:
::looks around at the bridge staff::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: If the Gods will grant it to us

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::locks his eyes on his console and makes pre-launch scans::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Steps from the TL and begins to have a sneezing fit, her eyes tearing::

CTO_Somak says:
::looks up at the CO, slightly disappointed, but continues checking weapon systems::

Host CO_Ross says:
Bridge:  That goes twice as much for everyone on the bridge, you’re not here because you are 2nd string, you are the best, so lets prove it

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: When the Quartermasters finish with our request, we will get underway

CEO_Russel says:
TL:  Computer?  Self:  Damn it, one more thing to fix.  TL:  Main Engineering.  ::The TL goes swishing down.::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Place her sleeve against her mouth, takes a breath and heads for medical.::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Well Sir, if they were gonna give us a Miranda, they could have given us a Miranda III instead of the II

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  Mr. Russel, any possibility you can get environmental filters on-line, this dust is killing me, not to mention the equipment

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::rumbles lowly:: CO: Scans clearrr, Captain.

Host CO_Ross says:
SO:  Thank you Mr. Sozor

CMO_Bryn says:
::Stands at the medical doors, waiting for them to open::

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  I'll get right on it once I reach ME.

Host CO_Ross says:
::picks up a PADD left by the skeleton crew, - - reads it ::

FCO_Teasley says:
::tries to get the nav. computer online::

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  Understood ::coughs::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::begins looking at the tiny Operations console and routing power to doors and such::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::lifts his right arm up and notices it's covered with dust, he says to himself:: Why me? why oh why!?!?!?

CMO_Bryn says:
::Sighs::  *CEO*:  Matt, do you have either a spare engineer or a spare kit?  The doors to sickbay don't want to open.

Host CO_Ross says:
XO:  Lord!!  ::motions for his first officer to come closer, whispers::  Listen to this, the Polaris was a training ship for Engineers on their 4th year at the Academy......15 years ago!

CEO_Russel says:
::TL stops.  Exits TL.  Walks to ME, enters.  Looks at his engineers.::  *CMO*:  I'll send someone up.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Oh geez Sir, hope we don't die

CMO_Bryn says:
*CEO*:  Thanks Matt.

CTO_Somak says:
::manages to hear the CO with his Vulcan hearing, but keeps quiet::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::also manages to hear with his own pointed ears, but keeps his peace::

Host CO_Ross says:
XO:  No wonder why it wasn’t in the registry, she isn’t even commissioned......then, well up to now that is

CMO_Bryn says:
*Jason*:  I am afraid to ask, but have you found our quarters yet?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: SBQuartermaster: Have you finished with our re-supply?

CEO_Russel says:
ENGINEERS:  Alright, listen up!  ::waits for them to stop what they were doing.::  The Commander wants a complete inspection of the ship.  I want to know where every nuts and bolts are, and I don't want to hear any comments on the ship, got it?  Alright now get to work.

Host CO_Ross says:
CMO:  Doctor, do you have all you need to fight this outbreak on Tau Epsilon?

FCO_Teasley says:
::tries to make sense of all the controls::

CMO_Bryn says:
<Jason> CMO:  Not yet dear.  And I am not sure about sleeping there when we find it.

CMO_Bryn says:
*Jason*:  Well, guess what.  I need to get medical into some kind of shape.  You got swap and cook duty.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Well Sir, if they were going to give us a throwback to Capt. Kirk, I wish they would have given us the old Enterprise A

CEO_Russel says:
::ME comes alive  engineers walking around, some exiting for the inspection.::

CMO_Bryn says:
<Jason> *CMO*: Ah... my favorite past times.  ::Concerned.::  Don't over do it.  Your staff should be showing up soon.

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks over to the environmental control console.::

CMO_Bryn says:
*CO*:  I am not sure yet sir... I am not able to get into sickbay yet.  According to the manifest, I think I do.

Host CO_Ross says:
XO:  The Enterprise A is on or what was Genesis planet, in the Mutara Nebula.......wishful thinking though

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Polaris: We're almost finished

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: SBQuartermaster: Understood

CTO_Somak says:
::tries to grab the CO's attention:: CO: Sir?

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO:  Yes Mr. Somak?

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Rumbles:: Self: Captain Terrrrel likely thought that this class of ship was just fine when he got command of it...

CEO_Russel says:
<EO_Smith> CEO:  Sir, all primary systems are working.

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, we can reach Warp 8.5.

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO:  8.5?  that is remarkable Mr. Somak, and enlightening, operational I hope?

CMO_Bryn says:
::Smiles as an engineer finally arrives.::

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Miranda class II typically has a roll bar cage that's been removed so those weapons are no longer available.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Also wouldn't have minded to have the USS Prometheus 

CEO_Russel says:
EO_Smith:  Thanks.  You can go help with the inspection.

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Unknown sir, chances are some will need replacing.

CEO_Russel says:
::Starts running diagnostics on the systems.::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Watches as the engineer quickly gets the door open again.::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Familiar on how to fly this crate, Mr. Teasley?

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO:  ::Smirks::  Well if we need anymore than to shoot at a transport or fleeing shuttle from the planet we will no doubt have to call for assistance from any Danube class runabouts  ::grins:: Thank you Mr. Somak

CMO_Bryn says:
EO_Merit:  Thanks...

CEO_Russel says:
SELF:  Hum... that's odd...

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: I think so sir

CMO_Bryn says:
::Walks cautiously into the sickbay::

CTO_Somak says:
CO: ::nods at the captain, and continues checking systems::

CEO_Russel says:
::Looks at the plans from the Polaris and compares them with plans of a "normal"  Miranda-II.::

CEO_Russel says:
::Notices modifications to the phaser systems.::

CEO_Russel says:
::Keeps looking.::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Polaris: We've finished your resupply

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: SB Quartermaster: Understood

CMO_Bryn says:
::To the room at large::  Oh Geesh...

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Captain, primary systems are working.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::taps his exposed finger claws on the top of his console as he sits back at his station waiting for departure::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Sir we're resupplied and ready to go, I guess

CMO_Bryn says:
*CO/XO*:  Sirs, I don't think anyone has stepped into medical in 80 years.

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  Very well Mr. Russel, let me know when we can......get underway

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::thinks to himself:: if only the good Dr knew

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Overhearing the doctor on com:: Self: And hopefully none of us will _have_ to...

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  I've also noticed modifications to the phaser banks and warp and impulse systems.

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  Let the First Officer know in your operational report......anything I should know immediately?

CMO_Bryn says:
::Walks tentatively further into the room and over to an antique biobed, activating it.::

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Well the phasers don't work now, but I could fix them in about 15 minutes.

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  Does the warp core, nacelles, and the deflector array work?

CEO_Russel says:
::still going on.::  *CO*:  Sir, it appears we shouldn't have judged this book by it's cover.

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  Probably an understatement of the day.  carry on

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: Mr. Russel, be sure your Engineering teams make it to Sickbay and give it an...umm physical! ::stifles his laugh::

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Mr. Teasley, does the navigation array work?

CMO_Bryn says:
::After a moment it comes on::  Pray all no serious emergencies occur.

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  This ship is able to reach warp 9.2.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Hmmms and tests short range scans and looks surprised, but doesn't comment::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Walking around the room, does an equipment check along with checking the systems.::

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  9.2, hmmm, understood!

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Impulse has been greatly upgraded.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: I think so sir

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Very well, lay in a course for Tau Epsilon 4, once we have been cleared by SB OPS.  

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  I think this ship was used as a test subject at the Academy.  There are modifications to shields too.

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  MR. Russel, this ship was used by 4th year Academy Engineers, so it maybe different than we first believed, although the modifications are at least 15 years old

CMO_Bryn says:
*XO*: Sir, this is impossible down here.  Is there any new equipment on the manifest?

Host CO_Ross says:
COMM: SB OPS:  This is the Art....Polaris, we are ready to depart, request permission to clear Starbase

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Sir, it appears this ship has some sort of multiphasic shielding.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

Host Erryn says:
<SBOPS> COM: Polaris: Permission granted, and good luck. ::sounds very sympathetic::

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*:  Multiphasic?  Excellent, I want a full report after we are underway

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: None that I seen, but hopefully the good ol’ Chief Engineer heard my COMM to him to get his butt to Sickbay and fix it

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::blinks and pricks up his ears, glancing at the CTO and mouthing 'multiphasic shielding'?::

Host CO_Ross says:
COMM: SB OPS:  Understood,....and many thanks, Polaris out

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Aye, sir.  I'll get to work on the phasers right now.

Host CO_Ross says:
XO:  Take her out

CMO_Bryn says:
*XO*:  It is not a matter of fixing things, most of it I can probably do myself.  It is the fact this equipment is so old, I wouldn't want to use some of it on my enemies.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye Sir....FCO: Get us underway, 1/4 Impulse

CTO_Somak says:
::mouths back to the SO "good news!"::

CEO_Russel says:
<EO_Smith> CEO:   Sir, the environmental filters are up and running.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The ship undocks and pulls away from the starbase with surprising smoothness.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Feels the power of the ship throbbing through the deck plates::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Aye sir

Host CO_Ross says:
XO:  I'll be down in sickbay going over the Doctor's operational portion of the mission, go to warp 5 once we clear

FCO_Teasley says:
::increase speed in 1/4 impulse::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye Sir

CEO_Russel says:
EO_Smith:  Good, very good.

Host CO_Ross says:
::Leaves the bridge in the TL to sickbay. ::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::shakes his head and sets his automated scans and begins checks on the library computer::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Glares at the room in general::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: Look at it like this, at least they're only 15 years old

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Once we're clear, jump to Warp 5

Host CO_Ross says:
::exits the TL, and then hurriedly enters sickbay and stops, and is stunned by what he sees::

CMO_Bryn says:
*XO*:  No sir, they are not... they are much older then that.

Host CO_Ross says:
CMO:  Kahless!  Kayan, I guess you have some work to do?  I came down to go over the operational side of the mission with you......

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Mutters in his own native tongue:: Self: Great Mother, grant us your mercy and watchful eye.. and failing that, a very quick Warp Core breach...

CTO_Somak says:
::shakes his head at the reports of the ship's weaponry::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Turns to the captain, anger flashing in her eyes::  CO:  Sir, this is beyond ridiculous... it is bad enough to deal with all of this, but on a medical emergency?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::self:: hmm *CEO*: Your presence is requested in Sickbay

CEO_Russel says:
::Grabs an ENG and walks to the Jeffries tube entrance.  Stops.::  *XO*:  Now?

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Aye sir

Host CO_Ross says:
CMO:  Doctor!  you think you have it bad, I have yours, and every other departments "beyond ridiculous"  we'll get through...::looking around::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Polaris clears the starbase and can safely jump to warp.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: At least get an Engineering team up there, like yesterday

FCO_Teasley says:
::takes the past the perimeter and engages warp engines::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: We're at warp 5

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Polaris jumps to warp 5.
