When last we left Avalon, the Romulan occupation of the Station had been all but cleaned up.  The Knights should expect an inquiry although no information has been forthcoming from Starfleet.  Will there actually be an inquiry?  Or, has this incident been carefully swept under the rug? For the answers, let's return to Avalon.

CTO:  Commander?
CMO_LtCmdr_Slater Says: 
::sees a medical team enter behind the CO, she motions them to see about the stunned engineer::
CTO_CmdrPaladineSky Says: 
CO: There is an obvious discrepancy between readings and reality.  There is no leak, I stunned one engineer and have isolated the others in case of sabotage
EO_Bubba Says: 
CTO: Dang it Commander. Maybe its one of them there sensor glitch thingys or sumthin.  With them Rom critters muckin about up in here ya just don't know.
CTO_CmdrPaladineSky Says: 
EO: Be silent
CIV_Cmdr_Turner Says: 
::Walks over to the main ops console and the big chair:: CNS: Your guess is as good as mine Counselor. I'm just getting to know him myself.

CIV: I take it you are new here?
EO_Bubba Says: 
CTO: You are more paranoid that my ex-wife Sir.... this ain't right
CO_Capt_MacLeod Says: 
CTO:  All-right.  We need to have engineering run a complete diagnostic on the power systems and the monitoring sensors as well.
CIV_Cmdr_Turner Says: 
CNS: Yeah still a bit wet behind the ears. ::Taps commbadge::
CTO_CmdrPaladineSky Says: 
CTO: Do you wish to have me question the Engineers and get new staff in here?

CO: we need to get the beta shift in here to run engineering?
CO_Capt_MacLeod Says: 
Self:  Big surprise.  CIV:  All-right, can you start a more in depth diagnostic on the monitoring sensors please.
CTO_CmdrPaladineSky Says:
 CO: Do you wish to have me question the Engineers and get new staff in here?
CMO_LtCmdr_Slater Says: 
::turns slightly to check the diagnostic::
CO_Capt_MacLeod Says: 
CTO:  Have beta shift report.  and I would wait until we know for sure what has happened...  I would like you to keep a security presence here however.
EO_Bubba Says: 
CTO: You ARE even MORE paranoid that my ex-wife Sir.... it's those Romie critters... gotta be
CTO_CmdrPaladineSky Says: 
EO: You are not been given permission to speak freely, fall in line
CMO_LtCmdr_Slater Says: 
::raises an eyebrow and thinks that EO Bubba needs to talk to our new CNS::
