Captains Log, Star Date 10301.24 We're currently at full stop inside the Nebula due to the mistake of my Flight Control Officer. The Artemis should have been outside of it. While inside we had a samll incident with a vintage Excelsior Class Starship, USS Medici.

CSO_KTor says:
::Sitting on the bridge at Science 1, looking at the main screen::

CEO_Russel says:
::Sitting at the ENG station, on the bridge and looking at the screen.::

XO_Farrel says:
::Sitting at her chair on the bridge, suddenly speaks softly:: No...  ::Blushes and stares at the floor::

CTO_Peters says:
::leans over and whispers.:: TO:  On Screen is the USS Medici, missing for the last 20 years or so.  Looks like they had taken up residence in the nebula and by the sounds of it not by choice.

OPS_Mades says:
::looks between the CO and the viewscreen... waiting to see what the Captain will do::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Odd to say the least. ::shakes head:: Well all teams are checked out and I don't think we will have any more trouble right now out of those two lazy slobs.

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::someone whispers in his ear:: COMM Artemis : All right... My science officer tells me that your level of technology is far more advanced than ours.. How can you be a Starfleet vessel?

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Looks like they haven't aged or anything either.  They are not familiar with the Steamrunner class also.

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods:: TO:  Good.  I need everyone on their toes.  Who knows if this is the real Medici or not.  I don't want us caught with our pants down.

CTO_Peters says:
<Dunson/Mayer>  ::Take up position behind the Capt.::

TO_Sky says:
::nods:: CTO: Understood. By the way who is the new person?

FCO_Teasley says:
::scans the nebula to make a chart::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::needing something to do stands up limping over to the Tactical Station:: CTO: Excuse me for interrupting.... but could I offer some assistance ma'am?

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  New CIV I believe.  Haven't had a chance to meet him yet.

TO_Sky says:
Self: Oops. ::turns and activates Tac2 and gets busy listening to the conversation::

CTO_Peters says:
CTO:  Ah Ens, not at the moment, if things start to get hairy I could use another.....wait a minute.  Another set of eyes on the scanner would be appropriate.  With the Doctor onboard who is a power hog, my scans are not working 100%.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: After all the star date is 10301.24

XO_Farrel says:
::She looks at the captain's personal body guards with fear...but she is torn from her own feelings by someone.  Her gaze turns to meet them, and it falls on Mades.::

OPS_Mades says:
::Zoe's request falls on deaf ears::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM CO : WHAT?

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: Well just holler if you need something. 

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  CHRISTIAN!!  ::Throws a PADD at him hitting him in the shoulder::

CTO_Peters says:

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Hali, any suggestions?

TO_Sky says:
::cuts eyes around watching the CIV walk off:: CTO: I am still having trouble with the scanners ma'am.

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM Artemis : For all I know, you could be an alien species posing as Starfleet officers to capture our vessel...

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Sir, could we invite them on board?

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  go to the Ops station and see if you can squeeze some more power.  Take it from that crazy doctor's experiments if you have to.

XO_Farrel says:
::Looks at Peters and raises an eyebrow, then back to Mades:: OPS: Christian?

CTO_Peters says:
::Now is muttering under her breath.::

TO_Sky says:

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO:  We could

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Captain, don't let them go.  Don't let them get lost again.  Please.

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Anything is possible Bri...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::clears his throat:: XO: Hali?

XO_Farrel says:
CO: We have to find out how they got here...and if we're in any temporal danger as well...

TO_Sky says:

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: Then, I would like for you to be our guests and have dinner aboard my vessel

CTO_Peters says:
::Groans as she here’s the Capt.  In her mind she revises the security schedule so maximum protection is enforced while their guests are on board.::

Host CO_Slochum says:

CTO_Peters says:
::Mutters:: Self:  Over my dead body...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Hali, suggestions?

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  I suggest you agree, sir.

OPS_Mades says:

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks around the bridge spots the CEO... starts heading towards him::

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Well, someone has to make the first move.  May as well...I can only imagine what year their wine is...

CTO_Peters says:
::Sees the scanners flicker with more life.::  TO:  See if you can disengage the doctors equipment.  We can reconnect after we leave the nebula.  ::hopes she doesn't get yelled at for the suggestion.::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Aye ma'am. ::turns back to the OPS console and starts trying to disconnect some of the doctors equipment to get more power for tactical::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: I'll go too, sir

CTO_Peters says:
CO/XO:  You can't go without an armed escort.  You have no idea what you are walking into.   They may not even be the original crew.  We won't know unless we can scanned them.  DNA verification.

XO_Farrel says:
::Walks up to the science station:: CSO: Anything unusual on scanners?

CSO_KTor says:
::checks scanners::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::mutters again about the pace finally reaches the Engineer's Station:: CEO: May I offer some assistance Commander?

TO_Sky says:
CTO: I am not sure if I managed to disconnect any of it from here but try it now. ::looks up at the OPS officer with a glare::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Nothing unusual sir, this vessel appears to be authentic.

OPS_Mades says:
::waits impatiently for the Captain to decide::

CEO_Russel says:
::looks at the CIV.::  CIV:  And you are...?

CTO_Peters says:

XO_Farrel says:
::Eyes flicker for a moment and she sighs in nostalgia:: CTO: I...always wanted to see an old excelsior...

CIV_Lamberson says:
CEO: Stephen Lamberson commander I have been kind of stationed on the Artemis to help out..... Captain wanted me to help where my specialty is and I have a degree in engineering from Star Fleet Academy.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::motions his right hand up and down to his CTO::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM Artemis : Fine...
CSO_KTor says:
XO: No anomalies in sensor range sir. Also sir, a bio-scan of the Medici's crew complement matches the ship's roster.

OPS_Mades says:
::smiles at the Captain's proclamation and comes back down to reality a bit, in time to hear the FCO:: FCO: I don't know, but I'm sure am gonna find out.

CIV:  Ah.  ::extends his hand to the CIV.::  Matthew Russel, welcome aboard.

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM Artemis : But i warn you.. If you so much as power one phaser bank, we'll open fire, and destroy your tiny ship.

XO_Farrel says:
CO: You're coming too sir?

CEO_Russel says:
CIV:  Unfortunately, pretty much everything's covered for now, but I'll let you know if I need your help.

TO_Sky says:
::still working to try and get more power to tactical::

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Medici's shields go down, but her weapons remain hot

CIV_Lamberson says:
CEO: Sounds good sir. ::grins looking around the bridge::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::frowns:: COMM Artemis : Why are you diverting more power to your weapons?

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Try the sensors now ma'am.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Yes Hali, now what would it look like if the Captain doesn't go over in good faith?

CTO_Peters says:
::Raises eyebrows at that statement::

TO_Sky says:
::looks up puzzled:: Self: Weapons? Hell I am just trying to get the sensors some more power.

CEO_Russel says:
::lights blink on his console and he instinctively turns around.  Notices the power redirection.::

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Ma'am weapons have not been activated.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Mr. Peters are you powering up phasers without my order to?

XO_Farrel says:
::walks toward him, her back to the viewer so her lips can't be seen, and speaks in a low voice::  CO: recommend one of us stays, just incase...

CIV_Lamberson says:
::listens carefully to the conversation::

TO_Sky says:
CO: I am trying to get power to the sensors and scanners.

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  No Sir.  We have been redirecting power to the sensors.  That is all.  We have turned off the Doctor’s equipment.

OPS_Mades says:
Weapons!  ::quickly turns to his console and sees someone sitting there::  TO: Excuse me please.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Do you have the weapons powered?

TO_Sky says:
OPS: Well you wouldn't do your job so I had to. And it's not weapons its the scanners and sensors!

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Your right Hali, then myself Mades and Teasley will go

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks around the bridge wonder why the same question is being asked::

OPS_Mades says:
TO: Just move!  ::checks to see what the TO did and makes sure that weapons are powered down::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir ::singles of the crewmen to take the helm::

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Excellent work Bri.  We have full sensors as much as the nebula allows and since we are close to the Medici.  Its crystal clear.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: And to calm down Mr. Peters, we'll also take the TAC Officer with us as well

FCO_Teasley says:
::gets up and joins the Captain and Christian::

TO_Sky says:
OPS: I know my job too bad you don't seem to be able to concentrate on yours. ::stands up and walks back to tactical in a huff:: CTO: Stupid men!

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::stops frowning:: COMM Artemis : We are ready to transport you over...

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Good luck sir... ::nods::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Thank you sir.  Dunson will go with you.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: Captain, I assure you that we are not powering up weapons, but only diverting more power to our sensors

TO_Sky says:
::punches buttons on her station in frustration::

OPS_Mades says:
::glares at the TO as she departs and he finishes fixing anything else she messed up::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: I don't know what you see in that blow hard.

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM Artemis : You'll need to drop your shields for transport.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Drop shields Mr. Peters

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  There is something wrong with him at the moment Bri.  I'll find out later what it is.  He has had a shock, but there is more going on.  ::Fingers fly over the console::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Shields are down.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: I don't care...he had no right to talk to me like that. He's just like all men...

OPS_Mades says:
::stands back up straight, ready to beam over.  He pulls at his uniform, getting ready of any wrinkle of speck of dust::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Hali, you have the Bridge

FCO_Teasley says:

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@::materializes on the Medici::

<Mayer> ::Nods and moves to one of the empty stations::  CTO:  Aye Ma'am.

FCO_Teasley says:
@::materializes seeing a phaser pointed at him::

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::looks around at the officers present, trying to see if his uncle is among them::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: I am going to schedule a long workout in the training facility after this is over with.

CTO_Peters says:
::Sighs:: TO:  You are not the only one.

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  Isn't the first time we hear of time travel, there are many possibilities.

FCO_Teasley says:
@CO: This can't be good

XO_Farrel says:
CEO: Does the database have anything about the Medici that could explain this?

CTO_Peters says:
@<Dunson> ::Glares at the security who dare to point a weapon at his Capt.::

CEO_Russel says:
::checks the files on the Medici, especially their last known coordinates.::

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::spots someone in the back, he's wearing a science uniform and he looks, well he looks a bit like Christian's father::

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : As the doctors give the CO a thumbs up on the newly arrivals, he seems to relax a little... The weapons are returned to the AT, and the Security officers stand down...

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, there is the possibility that it was not actually a temporal anomaly. It could instead have been some type of stasis.

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Scan that ship down to the last self sealing stem-bolt, I want to know everything about it.  Look for anything that could explain it's presence here...

CSO_KTor says:
::pulls up scanners and runs details scans of the Medici, radiation traces, etc::

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Perhaps...

FCO_Teasley says:
@::takes his phaser back and holsters it::

OPS_Mades says:
@ CO: Sir, permission to... well... to say hello.  ::indicates the SO in the back::

CTO_Peters says:
@<Dunson> ::Puts his phaser back.::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::comes forward and extends his hand to the CO:: CO :I don't know how this is possible, but it looks like you're the real deal.. I'm Captain Jorg Slochum..

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, I've found a residual chroniton field covering their entire hull.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@::shakes the COs' hand:: CO: I'm Ewan McPherson-Quest

CSO_KTor says:
XO: They were likely involved in some type of temporal event.

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Maintain constant transporter lock... ::looks over to K’Tor with interest::

TO_Sky says:
::turns and looks at the CTO speaking quietly:: CTO: Zoe I am sorry for my outburst but he didn't have to act like that. I know my way around an OPS console with my eyes closed.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Just a moment Mr. Mades

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Make no mistake sir I have.  Dunson has an open Com link with Mayer here also.

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::starts over when the Captain answers, he stops but barely::

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : After a few seconds, all the introductions are made....

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  I know Bri.  Lets just chalk it up to the heat of the moment.

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: What kind of temporal event would cause a residual field like that?

Host CO_Slochum says:
@CO : Now, if you and your crew would come with me.... ::moves to the briefing room with his XO, and senior crew.. SO NOT included::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::steps quietly to the back of the bridge to stay out of the way::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: I will consider it but it will take time. Maybe I should just take him to one of the training facilities and beat the crap out of him like I used to do my brothers. ::finally grins::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: A chroniton field is most likely the result of time travel.

CTO_Peters says:
::Big Grin::  TO:  Now that is a way to a gentleman's heart.

CEO_Russel says:
::finding little of interest, and seeing the CSO is doing his job well, stands from his chair and heads over to the TAC consoles.::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: I don't have enough information to determine whether it was natural or artificial.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@::follows along with his OPS and FCO Officers::

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::hears CO Slochum and notices that the SO isn't moving towards the conference room, he shoots CO McPherson a questioning look::

TO_Sky says:
::turns back towards her station spotting the new CIV:: Self: I guess it's just another man that is going to stand around and do nothing. ::turns her attention back to her sensors::

FCO_Teasley says:
@::walks into the briefing room::

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: But how would an antiquated ship like that achieve time travel...and how could they not know something's happened to them...strange.

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::watches as both crews move to the Briefing room and take their seats::

CTO_Peters says:
@<Dunson> ::Keeps close to the Capt. and once in the briefing room, takes position behind his chair but stands against the wall.::

@::sits down::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: Capt. Slochum, may your Science Officer join us?

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Temporal Loop Sir?

Host CO_Slochum says:
@CO : Why? What's your interest in my SO?

CSO_KTor says:
::sets up scanners to detect any emissions of chronitons and any other temporal-related particles in the area::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::wishes there was a Marine Detachment on board::

CEO_Russel says:
::leans against the wall between the two TAC consoles.::  CTO:  Next time you need power for something and the OPS officer isn't responding, you come to me.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: If you don't need me up here I am going to head down and check on some of the teams.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: I would like to hear anything he may know about this Nebula

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, I recommend caution. Not much is known about time travel. I have initiated constant sensor sweeps for any indication of a further temporal event.

CTO_Peters says:
::Winces:: CEO:  Aye Sir.  My only excuse was I was getting frustrated by not getting an answer from the Ops O.

TO_Sky says:
::hears the CEO and rolls her eyes:: Self: Great another male species that thinks I can't do anything.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@::looks at his OPS Officer::

CTO_Peters says:
CEO:  If you have a problem, please write me up and leave Ens Sky out of it.  She was following my orders.

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::wonders why the CO isn't just telling the truth, after all, Christian already said it over the comm.  However, he doesn't say anything as long as it gets him a chance to speak with the SO::

::Nods::  TO:  Go ahead Bri.

TO_Sky says:
::stands up shooting a cold stare at the CEO before heading to the TL::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::eyes shift between the CO and Mades, and he realizes a certain resemblance between the two:: CO : Oh.. Well.. I guess he can come in... ::calls for him::

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Try to link up with some of our probes in this sector....make sure our current date and current date outside of this sector match up...

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::relaxes, but then he realizes he'll have to talk to him and the tension comes back::

CEO_Russel says:
::meets the TO's stare and stares back just as coldly.::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Yes sir. ::opens constant subspace links to Starfleet time beacons, programs computer to warn on any mismatches::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks over to the Tactical Station catching bits of the conversation:: Self: Is this what Star Fleet has become?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@::whispers to Mades:: OPS: Happy?

TO_Sky says:
::walks over and punches the button for the TL muttering:: Self: Men. ::rolls eyes::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::shakes head starts moving towards the TL::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: I'm sorry sir, but the nebula is preventing me from contacting Starfleet's time beacons.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: Thank you Capt.

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::whispers:: CO: Um, yes... and nervous.  Feel about like I did on my first date.  I got sick on her shoes...

CEO_Russel says:
CTO:  I don't have a problem, but power production and allocation concerns me.

TO_Sky says:
::watches the lift doors open and steps inside::

FCO_Teasley says:
@::giggles:: OPS: Don't worry about it

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: It was worth a try...

OPS_Mades says:
@ <SO Mades>  ::moves towards the conference room::

Host CO_Slochum says:

CIV_Lamberson says:
::limps into the TL behind the TO::

TO_Sky says:
::requests Deck 7 and waits for the doors to close::

OPS_Mades says:
@::waits for the SO to sit down at the table and then takes a seat opposite him::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@All : That would explain your technology, and our little accident..

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: My Chief Science Officer seems to think that it may have to do with the Nebula we're stuck in

CIV_Lamberson says:
::wonders what has got the ensign so upset::

CTO_Peters says:
CEO:  I realize that Cmdr. and I'm sorry.  I'm just concerned about the safety of the ship.  ::looks down at her station and takes a deep breath.::

OPS_Mades says:
@ <SO Mades> ::shifts uncomfortably in his chair, noticing the OPS officer staring at him::

TO_Sky says:
::waits for the lift doors to open on Deck 7 and nods at the CIV as she steps off turning into the security office::

CTO_Peters says:
::Listens in on the conversation on the Medici.  Is very glad that Dunson is following orders to the letter.::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@CO : trouble is, we weren't near any Nebula.. We were responding to a distress call when a space/time rupture appeared in front of us.. We tried to escape, but with no luck.. Next thing we knew, we were in this.. Nebula, and then we bumped into you..

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::studies the man's face seeing even more of his father than he noticed before, but so young.  This man must be only 30::

CSO_KTor says:
CEO: Sir, could you give me max power to the comm arrays for just a short time at regular intervals? I'd like to see if we can break through the nebula and contact a time beacon.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::grins as the TO steps off request deck 4 as the doors close makes mental note to talk with the young officer at a later time::

CEO_Russel says:
CTO:  I understand, but had you come to me, I would have told you to tie in with the science sensors, which would have saved me from a spiteful message from our guest...  ::sighs.::  Finally, throwing PADDs around the bridge is not something I would consider good for the safety of the ship, especially when the Captain is almost directly in the way.

TO_Sky says:
::enters the security office and finds Topper getting a current report on all teams..  takes the information and sits down at her desk reading over it::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@CO : What about you?

Host CO_Slochum says:
@CO : Why are you here?

CTO_Peters says:
::Shrugs and grins:: CEO:  Dunson or Mayer would have caught it.  They take the Capt.'s safety seriously.  ::Frowns:: How upset is our guest?

FCO_Teasley says:
@CO Quest: Sir, if I may?

CEO_Russel says:
CSO:  Just a second, ensign.

XO_Farrel says:
::Starts laughing::

CSO_KTor says:

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::has so many questions to ask the SO... but where to start... and should he wait for the COs to finish first?::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CO: We were taking a Scientist and her team to investigate this Nebula and we didn't drop out of warp before entering the Nebula. As the Bridge Officer in charge didn't give the order

CEO_Russel says:
CTO:  Well, you know scientists, they are the most important thing in the world...  they remind me of tactical officers...  ::grins at her.::  Well, duty calls.  ::Walks back to his console.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
Self: Considering my last deployment I could get use to this. ::grins as he continues to walk::

XO_Farrel says:
::clears her throat and stops, her eyes resuming a more focused look::

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles:: CEO:  But we are Sir.  ::Winks::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@FCO: You may add anything if you wish Cmdr.

CEO_Russel says:
::Takes his seat and diverts power to the COMM system.::

CSO_KTor says:
::sends a time beacon request on max power::

CSO_KTor says:
::reads the results - nothing::

CSO_KTor says:
CEO: Thank you sir, but it wasn't successful.

FCO_Teasley says:
@CO Slochum: I didn't give to order to drop out of warp and we ended up inside this nebula, a few minutes later we ran across your vessel

CEO_Russel says:
CSO:  We'll have to exit the nebula.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: Being on your ship, it brings back a lot of memories

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Sir I'm detecting a graviton field in the direction the Medici arrived from.

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: What about a high speed probe...could it go out of the nebula, link up with Starfleet, then return to us?

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Source?

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Unknown.

Host CO_Slochum says:
@CO : Yes.. I'm sure.. I also would very much like to have a better look at your ship, but we both know that isn't possible. .. Not if we want to get back to our time...

CSO_KTor says:
XO: To your first query, yes, that could work. We might also try using it as a fixed relay station, if our message can reach it.

XO_Farrel says:
COMM: Medici; *CO* Captain, there's a graviton field approaching the Medici's position, alert them to move away with us...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: My first deep space assignment was on an Excelsior Class vessel, the USS Delphyne

TO_Sky says:
::finishes reading over the report and makes a few notes for the next security sweeps...stands up and heads over to talk to Topper about them::

OPS_Mades says:
@ ::hears CO Slochum's last statement and stops... if they try to go back what does that mean?  If they were successful then wouldn't Christian have known his uncle?  Does that mean trying to go back will kill them?::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Shall I prepare a probe as a comm relay sir?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: excuse me Capt.

XO_Farrel says:
::peaks at the readings:: Comm: Medici: CO: Correction sir, the field is forming behind the Medici but is stationary...no need to move.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@COMM:@XO: Are you sure Hali?

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM *XO* : Did you say a graviton field? Captain.. Our gravitational reading where off the scale when we first encountered the rupture..

CSO_KTor says:
::hears the Captain's comm:: XO: The readings are not moving sir.

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Acknowledged

TO_Sky says:
::taps commbadge:: *CTO*: Things are moving as scheduled here. I have put in some changes on the next security sweeps.

CTO_Peters says:
::Hits the console:: *TO*:  Excellent Bri.  Just send me the revised schedule and I'll pass it onto the XO.

TO_Sky says:
::hits a button sending the revised schedule:: *CTO*: You should have it now. I will have the incident report ready shortly with Hill and Rice assigned to extra duties.

OPS_Mades says:
@ <SO Mades> ::perks up at the mention of the gravitational readings and looks to his CO to see if he should go back to his post::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::gets up from his seat:: CO : I think you should return to your ship Captain, we have to take the chance that this phenomenon works both ways...

CIV_Lamberson says:
::notes the security detail moving through the corridor.... grins at their alertness::

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Does the field appear stable?  I mean, is there anyway of telling if it's safe for a ship to go through it?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
@CO: I would like to extend to you our assistance

CSO_KTor says:
XO: The field is gone sir.

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Shall I prepare the probe?

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Oh...gone?  ::disappointed:: ...very well send out the probe.

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Acknowledged.

OPS_Mades says:
@ CO: What?  Leave... they can't!   Sir!
