CNS:  I have no idea, but i'm keeping all ships here until we can find out.  ::Turns to the CSO.::  CSO:  Lieutenant, begin analyzing the data from the freighter that experienced a power surge earlier

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
Computer: Let's have some music in the office today.  "Home on the Range", please. Low volume, instrumental only.

Host Radm_Serok says:
CO:  Then shall we begin or do you have other plans first?

CSO_LtJG_Karen_Foster says:
OPS:  Sir?  Yes, sir.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Wonders what Paladine is doing::

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
::Kicking back in her chair and putting her booted feet up on the desk and cleaning her toolbelt and tools with a cloth::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Serok:  Nope, I am free as a bird.  Where would you like to head first?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Gets up from his seat, smiles at Nova and walks to the Science Station.::

Host Radm_Serok says:
CO:  How about engineering.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Thinks about heading back down to her office, it could use some redecorating::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::Motions to the TL::  Serok:  This way, sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Looks at the console.::  CSO:  Sorry, it wasn't a power surge.  The leak in the freighter's cargo bay.  What was it a leak of?

CTO_CmdrPaladineSky says:
::Instructing Security officers on the delicate art of roping cows, seems the Klingons kind of enjoy it::

Host Radm_Serok says:
:: Follows the CO ::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::Walks to TL, and enters::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Fills in the last spaces of the crossword puzzle and smiles::

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
::Always a believer in clean tools, polishing the last spanner and placing it in her new, stiff belt::

CSO_LtJG_Karen_Foster says:
OPS:  Checking now, SIr.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
TL:  Main engineering.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Perhaps she'd have the walls painted bright green with yellow zig zag lines::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Waits for the details to come up on the screen.::

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
::Standing, stretching and peering out her transparaglass wall to check on the teams around her office bay::

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
::Everything seems calm, quiet and just the way it should be::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::TL stops on Level 2, doors open::  Serok:  Admiral.  ::Motions for her to exit::

CSO_LtJG_Karen_Foster says:
::Checking logs to find Smith's previous anaylsis::

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
::The new communications array has arrived and is in short-term cargo storage, awaiting installation, according to her message console::

Host Radm_Serok says:
:: Walks out of the TL with the CO in tow ::

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
::She thumbs through the next few messages, mentally prioritizing the tasks for the teams::

CSO_LtJG_Karen_Foster says:
OPS:  I think it was the cows, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::Walks with the Admiral into the main engineering area, hoping there are no surprised::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CSO:  The container leak was the cows?  They aren't liquid.

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
::Seeing the Captain coming with the Admiral and stepping out from her office into the Main Engineering bay to greet them::

CSO_LtJG_Karen_Foster says:
OPS:  No, Sir.  They're not.

CEO_LtJG_Kinsale says:
CO: Sirs. Pleasure to have you in Main Engineering.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CSO:  What if they were somehow transported onto the station without us knowing and the leak was just a distraction?
