Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Captains Log, Star Date 10206.14 My inquiry is still going on. I don't know if I am going to make it through this or not. Every time that my defense presents something, it's gets shot down with a successful objection by Cmdr.Laredo. Hopefully by bringing in Mr. Sozor, he'll be able to help my situation a bit better

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Third Party, part 10>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::sitting at witness stand calmly, save for the occasional lash of tail’s tip::
CNS_Farrel says:
::Sips here coffee, looking across at the doctor:: CMO: Now that I think about it...  I often return to the site...but never actually stood there.  Just looked at it from up here...

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Mr. Sozor, why did the captain ask you to modify a torpedo?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::sits at the defense table watching Mr. Sozor as he gets grilled by the Cmdr.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  Then why don't we go there now.  There is nothing to keep us back.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral McCloud> ::listening::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Frozen, mug at lips, for a moment, then slowly returns it to table:: CMO: Now?  Nothing, I suppose...

CEO_Russel says:
::walking on the promenade deck.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Leans forward::  CNS:  Yes, now.  There will never be a good time or better time.

CNS_Farrel says:
::Feels all warm and tingly from the spice tea:: CMO: Okay...now then.  ::standing::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: Ewan then turns his attention to the back of the Lounge, trying to locate his Counselor and Executive Officer::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Stands and pays the waiter::  CNS:  I would say you lead, but we will go together ::Smiles::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::thinks to himself:: Hmm, I wonder where Somak and Hali ran off to

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Alright... ::walks out of the cafe onto the upper deck of the promenade::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Next to her::  CNS:  Which way?

Host Lara says:
::Walking on the promenade her head stuck in an old fashion book.  She is not paying attention to what is going on around her, nor where she is going.::

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Oh?  Just down here.  ::Walks a little on the upper deck before pausing and looking down:: Right down there....

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: The Captain wished to prrrosecute what he felt was the most viable courrrse of action in clearrring ourrr name and Starrrfleet's position in the matterrr, namely exposing the suspected cloaked vessel.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::taps fingers on the table::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Follows with her eyes, the direction she is pointing::  CNS:  Looks like a normal area.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: What did you detect to make you think there was a cloaked vessel?

Host Lara says:
::Continuing to walk so runs smack into the back of the CEO.::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral McCloud> ::eyes Laredo with a non-too friendly look::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::half smiles, and stops the noise::

CNS_Farrel says:
::finds a spiral staircase, cold and metallic, leading down to the level below:: CMO: Before we go.... ::looks up at La’i:: Thanks...

CEO_Russel says:
::Feels the shock and staggers.  Regains his balance and turns around.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: There was a 5.1375% rrrradiation incrrrease, surrrging and located beneath the Arrrtemis.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::turns back around to watch the proceedings::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  What are friends for.  Umm... I don't suppose you have a picture of the murder?  I wouldn't mind knowing whom not to tangle with.

Lara says:
::Drops her book, and looks into the mans eye, slight terror can be seen but she straightens up a bit.::  CEO:  umm Ooh   I'm so, so sorry...

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::gets up:: All : Objection..

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral McCloud> Laredo : Yes, Commander?

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Her picture was recorded in the Starfleet database...and she's a nasty piece of work, believe me.  ::Grabs the handrail and slowly descends::

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  No problem, you should watch where you are going though.  ::kneels down picks up the book.  Looks at the cover.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::thinks, Now what?::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Surprised::  CNS:  Her?

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
Admiral : Ma'am... The data the Lt. is referring to could have been cause by any number of reasons... I wouldn't want to waste the court's time in calling a witness to refute that argument...

CEO_Russel says:
::Hands it to Lara.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::nodding:: CMO: Yes, her.  ::reaches the ground level, pauses to take her breath::

FCO_Teasley says:
Admiral: Admiral, I was about to get to reasons for the radiation

Lara says:
Lara:  I have a bad habit of this, I mean, I don't normally.....  ::Slight giggle::  You know what I mean.  ::Takes the book.::  Umm......

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::thinks back to that point in time, but we also detected a surge of neutrino radiation::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> ::nods:: FCO : Objection Overruled.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Were there also traces of neutrino radiation?

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> FCO : But first..

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::about to speak, waits::

Lara says:
::tucks the book under her arm.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Gathers her thoughts back together and descends the stairs to the bottom::  CNS:  Would you mind if I asked, why this woman wanted Mika dead?

CNS_Farrel says:
::walks forward into the center of the promenade.  It is nothing more than an empty space, filled with the floor space of stainless titanium::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral>CSO : Lt. Could this radiation surge be caused by other phenomena other than a cloaked ship?

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  I understand, I get caught in books too sometimes...  I'm Matt.  ::extends his hand.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Extremely exasperated::  CNS:  For Dieanara's sake...

Lara says:
::shakes his hand.::  CEO:  I'm Lara....  The old fashion kind of book or PADDs that they try to pass off us books ?

CNS_Farrel says:
::looking at the place on the ground where he had lain:: CMO: he tes-  ::looking up:: you alright?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
ADM: Sirrr, the rrradiation we had been trrracking was consistent with a Klingon weapon system, but the neutrrrino surrrge we rrrecorrded at the same time as the torrrpedo firrre is consistent with cloaking technology.

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  Mostly PADDs I'm afraid, books are pretty uncommon, especially on starships.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks around running an exasperated hand through her hair::  CNS:  I have no idea.  When we are done with this, you up to some serious telepathic searching?

FCO_Teasley says:
::smiles::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> CSO : You didn't answer my question.. Could there, or could there not have been other reasons for the readings you are presenting here?

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Sure, however I can help... ::half smiles before looking back down:: I just need a few moments....

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
ADM: Therrre COULD have been, but given the sensorrr rrreadings I don't see what otherrr logical explanation therrre could have been. If I could admit my logs, sirrr?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Slightly distracted::  CNS:  Sure... there is no rush.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::gets up:: Admiral : Again.. I can call up any number of Science specialists that will refute that argument..

Lara says:
CEO:  Oh what a shame, there is nothing likeholding the pages between your hands.  I've got this collection of over 200 books.  ::Flushes a bit::  You can say that I'm.....what was it they used to say..... a little  umm Nerdy!  that is it.   ::a little laugh escapes her.::  Of course I think otherwise.  ::crossing her arms in front of her,

Lara says:
she pinches herself for rambling on.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::BRISTLES::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Feels like pulling her hair, but has no idea why.  Closing her eyes, checks her mental shields to find they are just fine.::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> ::nods at Laredo, and thinks for a second::

CNS_Farrel says:
::can almost feel her heartbeat all the way down to her feat, her minds eye seeing the titanium below her pulsating with each beat.  She remember the entire scene, that day, reliving it on the exact spot for the first time since...::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> Laredo : I will hear from your specialists, then... FCO : Carry on…

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Feels her blood pressure rising::

FCO_Teasley says:
Admiral: Yes sir

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Glares at Laredo, tail’s tip lashing::

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  Nerdy?  Never heard that term before...  200 books?  Where do you keep them all?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::wants to COMM his XO and CNS, but that would be upsetting to the court and the last thing that Ewan wants to do is, upset the Admiral::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Wishing she had something to lash::

XO_Somak says:
::jumps out of bed and heads back to the court case, a place for him to start::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Takes a deep breath, trying to get a hold of her racing emotions.::

Lara says:
::Smiles:: CEO:  Well lets say, every wall in my quarters has a bookshelf full of books.   My father was a literary teacher and taught me the value of a book.  You wouldn't believe some of the volumes I have.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: You said the radiations were beneath us, correct?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Taking deep calming breaths, turn to watch the counselor::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: Yes, sirrr.

CNS_Farrel says:
::After saying a whispered Betazoid verse, Takes a deep breath and sighs all her tension out::

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: So it could not have been the Artemis, correct?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: That is corrrrect, sirrr.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::calms a bit, still staring daggers at Laredo::

CNS_Farrel says:
::turning towards her:: CMO: That feels much better...thanks for giving me a kick in the right direction.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::wondering where the FCO is going with this::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::what Ewan needs right now....is a good hot cup of tea::

XO_Somak says:
::very stealthily enters the courtroom and sits down, trying to pick up on what he'd missed::

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  It must have been hard acquiring that many old books.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: You said that there were neutrino emissions emanating from the radiation, correct?

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  My pleasure.  And right now, I feel as if I really, really want to kick someone.  ::Looks around, still trying to keep her breathing controlled.::

Lara says:
CEO:  Not really, you'd be surprised what people will throw out, give away.

CNS_Farrel says:
::Raising an eyebrow at the doctor's sudden rush of aggression:: CMO: Well, when I feel that way I usually practice with my Akai...

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: Incorrrect. I said that at the same time that the torrrpedoes werrre firrred, therrre was a surrrrge of neutrrrino emissions in addition to the rrrradiation rrrreadings, corrrrolated with Tactical.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::noticing the little doohickey net to him, he realize that it's a small replicator. So he replicates a hot tea::

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: I stand corrected.  If there were torpedoes fired, they could not have come from anything but a ship, correct?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Shakes her head frustrated::  CNS:  It is not that... I mean... I have no reason to feel so... exasperated and angry.  I have no idea why these emotions are pounding at me.  I don't... I mean... I guess it is possible... ::Her eyes turn inward as she tries to think it through.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: Corrrect, sirrr. We did not firrre.

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  That's true...  I've done my bit of scavenging as well...

Lara says:
CEO:  Which ship did you say you were from ?

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: If there was a ship, why didn't anyone, including the Horians, detect it?

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  I didn't, I'm from the Artemis, and you?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: That's what bearrrs out the cloaking theorrry, sirrr.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::gets up:: All :Objection..

Lara says:
::thinks for a second.::  CEO:  Oh that ship, the one in the middle of the inquiry...  I'm from the station.  I'm one of the teachers.

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Strange... I think we can get to the bottom of this.  ::pondering:: I tell you what, why don't we find a nice isolated but central place on the station, open enough to be an amplifying point for our telepathic senses, and try to pinpoint where this feeling is coming from?

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  Ah...  I see word spreads quickly...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::takes a sip from the cup and places it back on the saucer::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
All : There still is no evidence presented to this court that proves the Artemis did not fire those torpedoes. And there has been no proven connection between the torpedo firings and these radiations the CSO has been talking about.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Comes back to the moment::  CNS:  Sounds good to me.  I don't like feeling like a puppet.  ::Looks around them guiltily::  But we had come her to help you.

Lara says:
CEO:  Well it is hard to keep a rumor from spreading around here.  Anything out of the ordinary, gets a lot of attention.  ::bites her tongue from asking questions.::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> Laredo : Commander.. You'll get your chance at redirect.. Objection overruled..

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: And you already have, helped that is.  Now it's my turn to help you.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan, not wanting to admit it, but he thinks the Cmdr. is right on this one::

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  It's the same on a starship...  you said you were a teacher, what do you teach?  Literature?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods with a sigh::  CNS: And at the moment, I am not much good it would seem.  Later though, we can talk some more... bring out some good memories.  You can't usually get rid of the bad ones, but you can make them much, much less.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: So did the Artemis fire the torpedoes that started the battle?

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::gets up:: All : Objection!!

Lara says:
CEO:  I wish, I teach grades 2-4.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: No, sirrr, and I can prrrove it.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral McCloud> ::hears the CSO's reply:: Laredo : Overruled.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Go ahead

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Sounds good.  ::peeps at a glowing map of the station::  Let's see...there's a panoramic viewing deck not far up, that sounds like a good amplifying point

CEO_Russel says:
::smiles.::  Lara:  Ah.

XO_Somak says:
::leans further in
his chair, curiously watching the proceedings and the Captain's movements::
CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods and starts heading up the stairs::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::looks at the Admiral:: ADM: With the courrrt's perrrmission, I'd like to enterrr into evidence the Arrrtemis' load out inventorrry rrrecorrrds and accounting forrr all warrrheads firred. Next, a forrrmally rrrrequested and witnessed accounting as soon as the Arrrtemis docked at station that I overrrsaw with starrrbase perrrsonel.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> ::nods::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Follows, heading up as well:: CMO: So this feeling, it's source feels external?

Lara says:
CEO:  Nothing like 7-10 year olds to get your blood pumping.  They don't let up for a second. ::laughs::  If they have to try something, they have to try it a 100 times to make sure their little plans don't work.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::enters the logs and the Starbase’s concurrence into evidence:: FCO: Therrre's the prrroof.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  I am fairly certain.  And I can't decide if that is good or bad... I mean, if I am going to express such intense emotions, I would at least like to know why.

CEO_Russel says:
::smiles as he remembers when he was that age...  Thoughtfully::  Lara:  Yeah...

FCO_Teasley says:
Laredo: Commander, I will allow you to review the logs

Lara says:
CEO:  You have kids ?

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
FCO : Oh I have reviewed then, Commander..

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  No, but I was one once...

FCO_Teasley says:
Admiral: No further questions

CNS_Farrel says:
::Nodding, as they reach the observation deck.  It is quiet with a surrounding view of space, she feels her thoughts echoing off the contours of the walls around her:: CMO: This place feels perfect.

Lara says:
::Chuckles and shuffles her feet a bit.::

Lara says:
CEO:  hum, Married ?

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::gets up:: All : Redirect

FCO_Teasley says:
::sits down::
Lara says:
::thinks he is kind of cute, but they are always married.::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> Laredo : Yes, I figured as much..

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::Walks up to the CSO:: CSO : Commander..

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  Not in this lifetime, no.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::looks back at his father and notices Somak out of the corner of his eye::

FCO_Teasley says:
::thinks the others are enjoying themselves while we're here in court::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  I must admit, I have never done anything like this before... never needed to.  As it is, I am trying to think back to things I was told as a child.  After all, there not that many :  ½ Minaran, ½ Haliian running around to make long term observations about.

XO_Somak says:
::picks up on the captain and gives him the best reassuring nod that a Vulcan can do::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
Laredo: I'll ask you again, Commanderrr, have I been prrromoted without my knowledge? Orrr werrre you addrrressing someone else?

Lara says:
::fascinated::  CEO:  So no woman has been able to snag you.  Interesting.

CNS_Farrel says:
::Sits in what resembles a lotus position, starting to focus her talents::  CMO: You mean, you've never "felt" a landscape with your mind?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::smiles a bit and feels relieved that his XO shown back at the Lounge::

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::harumphs:: CSO :Lt. Your ship is equipped with standard replicators, correct?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Sits across from her, following her example::  CNS:  No.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
Laredo: Arrre you not familarrr with a Steamrrrunnerrr class vessel sirrr? Of courrrse.

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  Well, not to the point of marriage, I'm only 22 after all...

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
CSO : And these replicators are able to produce all the parts needed in order to create a torpedo, correct?

Lara says:
::purrs, not to the point of marriage is good.::  CEO:  Oh only 22 I would have never guessed.

CNS_Farrel says:
::Smiles:: CMO: Well you said this was your day for being adventurous.  We'll start slow...take deep breathes and imagine you can breath in as deep as your toes.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::picks up the cup from the saucer and takes another sip::

FCO_Teasley says:
::drinks some of his water::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
Laredo: Of courrrse not, sirrr. If it werrre, we would be able to rrresupply ourrr ships in the field indefinitely and have no need forrr rrresupply at starrrbases such as this one.

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  Well it's either 22, or 350, your choice.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Closes her eyes, centering herself and continues the calming breaths she has been trying to maintain.  Allows the image of air to flow from the top of her body to her toes.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::sees that Laredo has caught himself with his hook::

Lara says:
CEO:  Young and experienced.  I like that.  Now are you too old or too young to buy a girl a drink ?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::whispers to Teasley:: FCO: Bringing up the "cloaked vessel" is good and all, but you need to focus more on proving that we did not fire upon the Horian ship

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Now slowly start to reach out with your mind.  It's like focusing your hearing on a sound far away...start to move your mind out to here those thoughts, feel yourself expanding outward...

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
CSO : That is only true for re-supplying an entire ship.. Two or even three torpedoes could be created using the anti-matter stored in the ship's holds to power it... ::submits a paper to the CSO:: This is an affidavit from a Teacher at the Academy of Engineering that clearly states that up to 12 torpedoes could be engineering from the storage capacity

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Calmly::  CNS:  Not thoughts... they are emotions.  ::Opens one eye::  Will that make a difference?

FCO_Teasley says:
::whispers back:: CO: Mr. Sozor has submitted logs that prove we did not fire
Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
of antimatter available on the Artemis... ::eyes the CSO:: CSO : Do you think this professor is mistaken?

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: No that will work just as well.  ::winks and closes the one eye::  Allow them to come naturally, feel the rhythm of them, flowing in order, like a stream or river

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  Er...  listen, you seem like a nice woman, but I'm kind of...  involved with someone right now...

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
Laredo: Considering that you did not submit this prrrofessorrr as a materrial witness, I should think that his paperrr is irrrrelevant. Besides, we have ourrr rrreplicatorrr logs as well, if you would like those admitted into evidence. Rrregarrrdless, we did not make any.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
CSO : Oh, I will come to that part later in this trial Lt.. As for the Artemis not making any because of your logs.. As you so well stated in the beginning of your testimony.. Logs can be falsified... ::turns around and heads for his table:: All : No further questions.

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: ...now as your mind expands outward, you should be able to feel the station....like looking at it from outside....but more of a general sensation in your mind...feel the spectrum of emotions.

FCO_Teasley says:
Admiral: Redirect sir

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
Laredo: If you have a charrrge to make, commanderrr...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::whispers back:: FCO: But you needed to bring that up a lot sooner than you did. I'm surprised that the Adm. didn't hang me out to dry

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> ::nods::

Lara says:
::Smiles:: CEO:  Kind of, huh..... Not a definite... beside is this woman so mean and horrid that she would chop off a hand if you had a drink with someone else ?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Smiles and resettles her thoughts, latching onto the current emotion of irritation::

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Replicators require energy, correct?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: Of courrrse, sirrr.

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Now, what do you sense?

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  Hali, I am Minaran.  I dare not open myself up that far.  I can follow the thread that is not mine though.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: How much energy would be required to replicate the equipment needed to arm a torpedo

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: ::names a figure::

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Would it be unsafe? ::opening one eye::

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Of course you would have to make sure the equipment was in working order, correct?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: Yes?

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  All the emotions here, unguarded... they could, probably would, overwhelm me.  I could lose myself.

CEO_Russel says:
::getting nervous, seriously considering whether or not La'i would chop his hand off...::  Lara:  Er...  no, I don't think she would...

CNS_Farrel says:
::nodding:: CMO: okie... ::closes the eye:: can you feel that external feeling now?

Lara says:
CEO:  I'm sorry Matt, I didn't realize I was coming on so strong.  I'm just attracted to Trills.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  Yes.  It is irritation.  Not so strong as before, but still there.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: That would need a lot of energy, correct?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: Enough to firrre the weapon, at least.

CNS_Farrel says:
::sensing the spectrum of emotions, trying to isolate it:: CMO: Describe it as vivid as you can.  What color is it?  What texture does it have?

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Would it cause a lot of damage?

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  it's alright, I always provoke that kind of behavior...  ::grins.::  Listen, in any other circumstance I would have jumped at the occasion, but...  well I care a lot for that person.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Contemplates::  CNS:  It is not unlike the color orange... if you can touch that.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: The weapon? Yes.

Lara says:
::Sighs:: CEO:  And you’re sensitive too.  A dangerous combination.  I wouldn't want you to hurt this person.  You know,  maybe we can be friends.  In the vast expanse of space you can't have too many friends.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: But since the Artemis was being attacked, would there have been time to do that?

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  I'd like that.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> FCO : Commander..

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
FCO: Of courrrse not. But, to be fairrr, therrre would have been laterrrr. Howeverrr, the CEO has accounted forrr everrry iota of powerrr we used in getting the Arrrtemis rrrepairrred and herrre.. and none of it went towarrrds rrreplicating torrrpedoes.

Lara says:
::Smiles:: CEO:  Friends then.  If you ever want a hard cover book, you know the person to ask, I'm known to lend them out to friends.

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral> FCO : It took three weeks for the Artemis to return to the Starbase..

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Yes... ::Focusing in on the orange explosions of emotion around La’i::  I think I can see what you are feeling...try and follow it....like a thread to it's source...

FCO_Teasley says:
Admiral: Question withdrawn

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
::nods::

CEO_Russel says:
::smiles back.::  Lara:  I'll keep that in mind.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
ADM: If the prrrosecution insists on calling me a liarrr, I would apprrreciate it if Starrrfleet Command could brrring charrrges against me orrr give up on this point of inquirrry, Yourrr Honorrr.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Starts to follow along the thread, thinking it like a tether rope to another source.::

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: ...good... I can feel us moving along it... I shall follow right behind....it is very orange isn't it?

Host Cmdr_Laredo says:
<Admiral>  ::frowns:: CSO : Lt.. No one has called you a liar here... And if you don't watch your tone, I will personally hold you in contempt of court...

Lara says:
;:Smiles:: CEO:  Anyway Matt, I should be going.  I have some papers to grade.  I hope to see you around again.  If this person decides that maybe she would like to go off in a different direction from you, just look up Lara Robinson.

CEO_Russel says:
Lara:  I will.  Bye Lara.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
ADM: Aye, sirrr.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
