Mission Summary: Over the Rainbow. Episode 5: There's No Place Like Home.
The Crew has found themselves in the Beta Quadrant, out past the Romulan Empire. The Romulans have given them 10 minutes to leave this sector of space.
Our crew also has the alien captain to deal with and in the process of this still get home. Lets see what transpires….

::In Engineering, watching the screen carefully as we continue at warp::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::in Phoenix sickbay, on bio-bed::
TO_Ens_Masterson says:
::stands at tactical running a few scans and monitoring the prisoner in the brig as much as she can::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::walks towards the biobed to check on the CSO::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::starts to stir, moans slightly and twitches head::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::hopes they are far enough away from the Romulan vessel to engage the transwarp device again.::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stands next to the biobed as she checks the monitor.  Looks down at  Hawkes as he stirs::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I do have one question?
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Only one?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Well this is one big question.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::leans forward:: CSO: Can you hear me? ::nudges him slightly::
Cmdr_Reitman says:
::paces in engineering hoping the crew are not stupid enough to try the device in Romulan Space::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::opens eyes, but blinks several times, trying to bring things into focus::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Okay, let's hear it.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: What are the Romulans doing out here?
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::smiles:: CSO: take it easy, now.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::sees the CMO standing over him, and reels slightly::  CMO:  What the...  ::feels a pain in his head::  What did you do?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I mean we are over a year away from the Empire.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::tries to get up, but is held by a restraint field::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: They spent a long time getting here.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::calmly:: CSO: You were brought here unconscious, your cochlear implant was malfunctioning
TO_Ens_Masterson says:
::monitors long and short range sensors::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: Are you sure everything is ready on your end Commander?
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: Repairs were made but you've only now come out of the coma you were in for the last 2 days.
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  I wondered that as well.  I suggest that we contact Starfleet discreetly about what we found since even we aren't supposed to be out here doing what we're doing once we get back to Avalon.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::still fighting restraints::  CMO:  What are you talking about, there wasn't anything wrong with
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::stops fighting::  CMO:  Two days?
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: calm down, LT.  Yes, you've been in a coma for the last 48 hours.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Discreetly is what this whole mission is about isn't it?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Are we out of the Romulans sensor Range yet?
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  My head feels  like its in a vise...  You didn't leave anything in there, did you?
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: It's ready... but I won't turn it on near the Romulans... They will see.... I'll wager they'll even follow us cloaked. We'll just have to get home at warp.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: Home at warp?  You had better be kidding.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: You insult me.  Do I look like I just fell off the farm wagon from delivering cows and sheep? ::folds arms across her chest::
TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO:  We're out of their range from where we were but I haven't detected them for some time sir.
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  We will give Starfleet copies of the evidence we have of the Romulans whereabouts if we aren't believed or typically if the Romulans deny it.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO: Hey, no offence doc.  I’ve seen more than a few quacks in my day.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::calls nurse Betty to bring over the hypo with pain medication for Hawkes::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: I'm not one of them.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  That's what they told me too
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Nurse> ::hands the hypo to Victoria::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I believe we are ready to head home.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Do you think the Romulans have followed us?
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: Unless someone can guarantee me that there are no Romulans spying on us....  I will not turn it on.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: I'm not going to try and convince you that I am better than those other doctors.  I am me, and no one else.  If you can't trust me, then you'll never ever trust another medical doctor again! ::places the hypo against his vein:: This will help with the pain. ::presses the button and hears the hiss of medication entering his system:
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Fantastic, let's get us home.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: In fact, I'm finished lecturing you.  When you feel you can stand on your own, you may leave and return to duty. ::walks away::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: You are insisting that we stay at warp for months?  Do you really want to be on this ship that long? ::grumbles under her breath:: And I thought I was stubborn.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: They spent a great deal of time to get out here, I really doubt they are watching.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::taps her commbadge:: *Bridge* Engineering to the Bridge.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::feels the pain subside, pauses for a moment::  CMO:  I'm sorry doc, er, Commander.  Its hard for me, ya know?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I recommend we just go, and leave them guessing.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
    CEO: Make sure no one can see... I'll be happy then.
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Sounds good to me.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::turns around and gives him a small smile:: CSO: I can well imagine and please forgive my outburst.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::nods::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::walks over to the CSO:: CSO: Your cochlear implant malfunction and I had to replace it.  If you feel up to it, you can either rest in your quarters or return to duty.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Takes over the helm::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: No mistakes this time.
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Glad you took the helm.  we seem to be missing our helmsman.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::checks the communication relays then taps her commbadge again::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: Bridge to engineering.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  So...  What's my prognosis?
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
*Bridge* Engineering to.....::hears the XO answer:: Finally!  Sir, we have a bit of a problem down here.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: Problem?
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
*XO* Commander Reitman says that we'll be heading home on warp power unless we can guarantee there are no cloaked Romulan ships following us.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: Your prognosis is excellent.  You shouldn't have any problems with this new model.  I just happened to have it with the documentation that was send by my friend at Medical HQ.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: Inform commander Reitman, that I can guarantee a boot up his backside and a long ride in the brig if he doesn't turn it on right now.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: I'm glad I had it.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: Did you hear that Commander?
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::snickers at the XO's comments to Reitman.::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::presses up against the restraint::  CMO:  Then you won't have to keep me in here for long then?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: Prepare to engage Trans-warp.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
::frowns and encrypts access to the device::  *XO*: May I remind you of Starfleet's directive regarding letting the enemy get their hands on Top Secret projects?  Convince me we are not followed... I shall consider it.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: ::presses the button to release the restraints:: The only thing I require from you is a follow-up in about a weeks time.  There shouldn't be a need to any adjustments to the implant, but I want to keep my friend in Starfleet Medical HQ informed of your progress with the new implant.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
*XO* That IS Reitman's call Sir.  I don't have command of the Trans-warp drive.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: will that be a hardship for you?
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::sits up, slowly::  CMO:  I think I can work around that.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: ::smiles:: Excellent.  How do you feel now?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*Reitman*: But I am XO on this ship and you do fall under my command and the captains while you are here.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::pauses, letting a moment of unsteadiness pass::  CMO:  Ok.  Yeah, fine, great, 
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*Reitman* Activate that device right now, or you will spend the better part of the next 10 years on the New Zealand penal colony.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: Okay, let me see if you can walk a straight line over to the nurses station and back again.  I want to make sure you're not going to lose your balance.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*Reitman*: No scratch that. I have friends, I will make sure you get stuck on Rura Pente.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
*XO*: I will of course obey.... and I will file a formal complaint that you are risking letting Top Secret devices in the hands of Romulans... I will recommend a formal reprimand on your record. Your call 
Cmdr_Reitman says:
*XO*: And I will obey... and I will also add your threats to my report.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*Reitman*: The Romulans probably just wanted to make sure we left, they have more than likely gone back.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::slides to the edge of the bed, letting feet touch the deck:: CMO:  the floor is cold.  ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*Reitman*: Activate it!
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::looks at the CSO's bare toes:: CSO: I can imagine. Would you like your slippers?
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::brings full body weight onto legs, is a little unsteady::  CMO: Nah.  Cold is nice.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
::unencrypts the device and activates it::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::rolls her eyes:: *XO*/Reitman: Gentlemen, with the respect to both of you, can we PLEASE have this little competition of yours later and get this crew back home?  I have an EO that could die while you two are arguing.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  All-right, here it goes.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::pushes off the bio-bed and takes one step, then two...
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::nods and focuses on his gait::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Puts in the coordinates for home::
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: I will obey.... but I will file a formal report on the incompetence of this crew.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::makes a slightly off-straight crossing to the nurses station, and turns around, smiles::  CMO:  There...  Happy?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I believe we are ready.
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Engage.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::follows close behind and comes up short behind him:: CSO: Yes!
TO_Ens_Masterson says:
::readies tactical to scan immediately after they come out of transwarp::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Engages Trans warp drive::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: Good, it will hit Star Fleet Command about the same time my report about how firmly your head was wedged up your backside to have allowed the device to be tampered with in the first place.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: I'll give you a choice, you can stay here......or you can return to your quarters......or if you're feeling very fit, you can return to duty immediately. I know they can use you on the bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ACTION: As the trans warp device comes on a power conduit blows.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::grumbles about men::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  I'm all for getting outta here.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Trans warp device is offline.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Self: What the??? ::sees the power shut down on the warp transfer conduit::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO: what now?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: What happened?
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: Yes, I'll have to agree, you're taking up valuable room in my sickbay.  ::smiles::  What is your pleasure, your quarters or returning to duty?  I'd like to advise the XO of what your plans are.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  Duty, sir...  That is, as soon as I get into uniform
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  If we are still warp capable then I suggest we still proceed home just in case that Romulan vessel is getting curious about us.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Neo: We have an overload at Junction 7 Beta.  It looks like one of the repairs didn't hold.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
CSO: Then I release you for active duty.  Report to the bridge as soon as you're dressed.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: Captain a direct course will take us through the heart of the Romulan Empire.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
<EO_Neo> CEO: I'm on it! ::grabs a kit and heads to the junction::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::glances towards the isolation ward::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  Aye sir.  ::turns and makes a slow, steady exit from sick bay::
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: WHAT NOW??  ::sighs and shakes his head::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  We'll have to divert around it.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::smiles as Hawkes makes his quick exit from Sickbay and thinks........nice butt::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Plotting course.
TO_Ens_Masterson says:
::checks sensors to see if any Romulan vessels are around or picked up our little power outage::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::sighs and makes her way over towards EO Leo::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stops for a moment to notify the bridge that the CSO will be on the bridge shortly::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: To divert around it will add at least another 6 months to our journey.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* I've released the CSO from Sickbay. He's ready to return to active duty.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: One of the repairs didn't hold.  It's the junction Leo worked on just before he was injured.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::enters a turbo lift::  TL:  Deck five.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: Then your repair crews are incompetent!
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
*XO* We had one of the repairs give our Commander.  I have a team working on it.  I'll give you an estimate as soon as I have it.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: If we don't encounter any more Romulans
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  What do you suggest?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Lets just keep moving and as soon as Jordana has this thing fixed we use the conduit.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stands in front of the isolation unit and takes a moment to scan the EO inside::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  I agree, make it so.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::exits TL and lumbers to his quarters, a few doors down...  Enters quarters::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CMO*: Thank you doctor.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* aye.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::continues on course::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::storms across the room and gets in Reitman's face:: Reitman: My crews have been working 16 hours a day for over a month getting this ship together!  They work hard!  YES sometimes there ARE mistakes!  But at least they try to work together instead of being a bunch of stuck-up, egotistical, donkey-butts who have respect for nobody but themselves!
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::opens a closet and finds a fresh uniform hanging , takes it down, and drops it on his bunk, continuing on to the head::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Do you detect any neutrino emissions in this sector?
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::eye lock on the internal temperature of EO Leo and finds it has risen again.  32.8C::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
<EO_Neo> ::checks the junction carefully:: *CEO* It's only a minor problem.  I'll have it fixed in ten minutes tops.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: Right... you are a bunch of repairmen.... and I am a genius... please spare me your arrogance. I can be arrogant because I can.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::walks into the head and stops at the mirror above the sink.  Examines his head, side to side, looking for any scaring from the operation...  Finds none.::  Self:  Nice job.
TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: They seem to only be residual sir.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: You are arrogant because you are an old, lonely, miserable man who only has his work to make him happy.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I doubt that we have been followed for sometime
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::brings up the medication chart on Leo and finds that he's due for another injection of antibiotic.  This time a slightly larger dose than the last::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: Now!  I keep my Engine rooms clear of Monkeys so get the hell out of my  Engine room before I blend you and your device together permanently!
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::returns to bunk area and gets dressed for duty::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  If we are out of their sensor range then they are out of ours.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::programs the computer to administer the injection::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::moves back to her console:: *EO* Good, I expect it done in 5.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
*XO* Repairs in 10 minutes or less Sir.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: I am a genius... you are repairmen... so do your job... and I will do mine.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: With only residual neutrino emissions that means they haven't been out here for at least 3 or 4 days.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::balls her fists together tightly:: *XO* Commander Horn, unless you want me in the brig for striking a senior officer, I ask that you have Reitman removed from Engineering immediately.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: As soon as we have power we need to activate the device. We are clear of the Romulans.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: Hmmf... fine... YOU take us home!   ::crosses arms::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: He will be there long enough for us to get home.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::sits on the bunk for a few moments, takes a deep breath, then gets up and exits, entering turbo-lift and calling the bridge as destination::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Okay.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stands close to the transparent alum looking at the EO, her head rests against the cool material and she whispers:: Toself: What am I going to do if you die?
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
*XO* Whatever Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CMO*: How is your patient doctor?
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
<EO_Neo> ::replaces the burned out conduit and begins to seal it into place::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stands straight and slaps her commbadge:: *XO* EO Leo is fighting for his life, sir.........and he's loosing.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CMO*: How much time?
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::turbo lift opens up on the bridge, I step out, look over the room::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ACTION: Power returns to engineering.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
<EO_Neo> ::closes up the conduit::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* It could be anytime.  Days, hours.......he's not responding to the medication I have available here on the Phoenix.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::moves to the science station, relieving the duty science officer there::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::got it:: *XO* Power is online Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CMO*: We will be home shortly.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* I pray you are right.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: You going to flip that switch or do I get the honor of powering up the only successful test of your little device?
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::accesses, SRS and LRS checking::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged. Get that device on.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::to self:: For Leo's sake.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
<EO_Neo> *CEO* Got it Ma'am.  I'm coming back in.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CMO*: We are going home right now. Hold on tight.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Power is restored.
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: If YOU can keep your power systems on... I  can keep my device activated.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* Acknowledged Commander.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::she continues to stand outside the isolation unit, monitoring EO Leo::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
Reitman: My power systems ARE online....::mutters a very distasteful Zaldan name under her breath::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Kick it into gear.
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
*XO* We're just waiting for the Commander to get his butt moving and activate the device Sir.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::watches Leo's temperature begin to slowly rise in spite of the antibiotic::
Cmdr_Reitman says:
CEO: Device activated.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ACTION: The Trans-warp device powers up.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Hold on tight
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::makes sure sensors are set to compensate for  warp travel::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Welcome back, please monitor power levels.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Holding steady at warp factor 8.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::watches EO Leo labor with each breath::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Hits the button to open the conduit::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::nods::  XO:  Aye sir...  Power levels are stable.
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  I won't hold my breath.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ACTION: A Trans-warp conduit opens in front of the Phoenix.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Course laid in.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::increases the oxygen level in the unit and has the computer admin additional tri-ox compound into Leo's bloodstream::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
All:  Trans-warp conduit has formed
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ALL: Here we Go!
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ACTION: The Phoenix enters the conduit::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Were in!!
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::prays for a better outcome this time.::  XO: Good.
TO_Ens_Masterson says:
::wonders is they'll come out in the right place this time::
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::thinks it won't matter to Leo if they exit in the wrong place::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  Reading a slight fluxuation in power levels...  Still within tolerance.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Just needs to hold a little longer.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::closes eyes and rests them for a moment and says a silent prayer for their safe return to Avalon::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ACTION: The Phoenix comes out of the conduit.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::nods to XO, keeping eyes on monitors::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: We are out!
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Checking location.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: scan the sector
TO_Ens_Masterson says:

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  Scanning.
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  No problems this time, now for our location.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: According to the helm we are right back where we started.
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  Not reading anything here, sir.  ::works sensor controls::  
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: See if you can get the station.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Plotting a course for Avalon.
CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::waits for word on their location::
CEO_Ltjg_Rydyll says:
::checks all her systems carefully to make certain they are where they are supposed to be::
CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
