ACO: Flight control is on-line....everything is green to go.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: stands in main engineering :: EOs Turner/Reed/Caveda/Brisco : Ensigns I have special assignments for you.  You will be in two man teams. <c>

CTO_Vendal says:

EO Turner/Reed: You two are going to begin maintenance on the waste management systems starting with the solid waste units <c>

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Caveda/Brisco: You are assigned to ship's fuel system.  You are to inspect all piping and storage tanks relating to this vessels drive system <c>

CEO_K`Vas says:
All EOs : You have your assignments, report any problems , Dismissed!

CSO_Syrna says:
::glances over at OPS a moment, inwardly sighs as she loves him terribly much::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
All: Very good. ::smiles::

CEO_K`Vas says:
<EO Turner/Reed/Brisco/Caveda>CEO: Aye sir.  :: turn and head for their duty assignments ::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Moves over to D'Von::  OPS:  Thank you for your help...the counselor's suite looks great.

OPS_D`von says:
::hears the static again, louder this time, and less like background noise.  Tries to clean it up a bit::

OPS_D`von says:
CNS: I will pass the word on to my boys, but remember counselor they will wont payment later on ::grins::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: How is the tightening of security going around the holodeck?

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow as the CNS starts to talk to OPS, turns her face to the sensor readouts but listens::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Smiles, remembering their eager little faces::  OPS:  Tell them they each get two free sessions with the counselor.  I'm sure they'll appreciate that.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: I actually had some suggestions for you and the CNS on that

OPS_D`von says:
OPS: Better them then me ::smiles, but keeps working on that weird sound::

CTO_Vendal says:
::looks around the bridge not sure if it is the place to speak of such things::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: Have you begun to give any of the crew their evals.  ::smiles::  I am sure we all need them.

OPS_D`von says:
ACO:  Ma'am, I am picking up bits and pieces of words on the comm, but I don't recognize the language ::tries to run it though the universal translator::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns to the CTO:: What is it?

CEO_K`Vas says:
TO: Ensign you will assist me.  We are going to increase the tactical abilities of the runabout, the Grant.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Keep working on it and try to fix a point of origin.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: Ma'am some of the suggestion is very sensitive may we discuss it in the RR

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO: Ahhh....now that you mention it...that is an excellent idea.  ::Looks around for any volunteers::  I'm sure they will all be eager for a talk.

TO_Re`Volos says:
CEO: Very well. What do you wish me to do?

OPS_D`von says:
::raises an eye brow at the CTO, and wonders why he would want to give the CNS any ideas, they dont need any::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: Owyn why don't you step into the Ready Room with the CNS and CTO.

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: Yes ma'am

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Looks at the CTO wondering what that would be::

OPS_D`von says:
::tries to get a fix on the sounds, and keeps trying to get something he can understand out of the univeral translotor::

CTO_Vendal says:
::Moves to the RR::

CEO_K`Vas says:
TO: I require your help with the calibrations of the weapons arrays, the Grant it primarily a science base vessel.  So the computer will need calibration

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Follows behind the CTO into the RR::

AXO_Hunter says:
::follows both the CTO and the CNS into the RR::

CSO_Syrna says:
::is somewhat distracted by what D'von is doing:: OPS: What are you doing?

TO_Re`Volos says:
CEO: Lead on Lt.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS:  Have you been able to get a fix on the signal?

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO/CNS:: Have a seat, ::looks around for a sec then takes the seat behind the desk not exactly looking comfortable::

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: I picked up some weird sounds on the comm, at first I thought they were just background noise, but now they sound like words, I just can’t understand them. I have the UT working on them now, and I am also trying to get a fix on were they are coming from

CEO_K`Vas says:
::takes his equipment carrier and heads for the shuttle bay containing the Grant::

CTO_Vendal says:
::once in the RR takes a seat and waits for the AXO and CNS to be seated::  AXO/CNS: Basically what we are wanting to do is to encourage the crew to not investigate the area of the dragon's holodeck.  What I say is going to sound like the opposite from the CO's original request but will do what she wants

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Walks over to the nearest and relaxes into it::

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: Do you think a bit more power to the communications array may increase the gain and help you get a better signal?

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO: Okay...Explain.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::Follows K'Vas to the Grant::

OPS_D`von says:
::looks at Syrna like who is doing this::  CSO: I have already done that

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Let's hear it then

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::overhears the conversation between the CSO and OPS and gets her answer::

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees his expression:: OPS: My pardon... I should have known...

CTO_Vendal says:
CNS: The CO told you to find a way to stop the rumor mill that is happening about the holodeck, I say we use it.  we make up a story about some kind of contamination from what is in the holodeck that is hazardous to the crew, the force fields and other safety precautions are there for their safety not to hold them out of what they want to see.  I <c>

CSO_Syrna says:
~~~OPS: I have never in all my days seen a finer operations manager... ::mentally smiles at him:: ~~~

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: Is there some other ways I can assist?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: arrives at the Grant :: TO: I have read the specifications on the runabout Platte. These are the modifications we are going to make :: hands the TO a padd with the data on it::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am, I don't really understand it but he single is coming from the Detweiller system, which is 3.7 light years away.  How we can hear it is a physics miracle if I ever heard of one, I would assume that the solar winds and eddies have formed a type of conduit which is channeling the single this way

CTO_Vendal says:
I was worried about mentioning it on the bridge as it would give away our idea with the junior officers and such all there.  I think that if we release some kind of irritant into the corridor, something very minor, and have it result in a crew doing work, It could all lead to a very convincing cover

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO: I would think the crew would wonder why it wasn't cleaned at the SB and why we haven't had a Byrion scan to clean it

TO_Re`Volos says:
::takes the PADD and studies it:: CEO: I'm always in favor of having more guns on a ship ::grins::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Go ahead and send the coordinates to the FCO and the CSO::

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles at the CSO:: CSO: I don't think there is any other way of clearing it up, the signal fades the more the Del moves

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: Scan the area.

CEO_K`Vas says:
::Thinks to himself that this young klingon has promise as a warrior::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
FCO: Plot a course to intercept but wait to engage until I give the order.

CSO_Syrna says:
::trains the focus of the sensors over toward detweiller::

OPS_D`von says:
::sends the coordinates to the FCO and CSO:: FCO: Just hit the flashing button and it will take us to this location I made it easy for you ::grins::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Leans back in her chair and frowns thinking of the last thing the captain told her::  CTO:  I made almost the same suggestion to the captain when I spoke with her last.  About giving a deceptive rumor and she was quite against it. Has she changed her mind?

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: I had thought of that, and while it is well known on the ship that we took on some kind of living thing, it is still unclear what it is.  We can use the fact that a bareon sweep would kill living matter and that the organism is too fragile to move

Host FCO_Bumbles says:
ACO: Aye ma'am.  ::shoots OPS a look::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: So you recommend that we move towards the signal to try and clear it up?

CTO_Vendal says:
CNS: I have not spoken to the CO about this, it was a thought last night, that I worked on.

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Well, that would be the only way of finding out what it is

CEO_K`Vas says:
TO: We will begin by installing and calibrating the additonal phaser strips ::motions for the TO to enter the Grant and begin working on the computer ::

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO: Its an interesting Suggestion Lieutenant, I just don't see where it would pose more questions by the crew...peak there curiosity even more, you know the Science weenies, they'll try to find a cure for it or the cause...or both

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: I think if we back up a bit first, and then head that way.  think of the single as a pipe and we just crossed it, now the single is getting weaker so we need to go back to the pipe then follow it in

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: I have some disturbing news... a rogue planet is headed through the Detweiler system at high speed... it is roughly the size of earth and it will intersect the asteroid belt in about 15 hours. It most certainly cut through the belt and destroy everything in its path... ::presses more buttons:: Detweiler three is not in danger...

TO_Re`Volos says:
::enters the Grant and begins working on the computer::

CTO_Vendal says:
CNS: I can understand her reluctance to mislead the crew, but it may be the greater good we have to think about

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO: I know, I am a science weenie, I would try to find the cause of it...to make a cure for it

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  She seemed quite against using any deceptions to quell the rumours.  I have been using my own tactic, doing a survey of all the rumours and at this point, the rumour mill has quieted considerably.  If you would like to see the study, I can retrieve it for you.

OPS_D`von says:
::sends the FCO the coordinates of were the signal was the loudest:: FCO: Take us back to this point, then pilot your course following this channel ::sends the FCO the info::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  FCO: Do as the OPS stated and then take us to maxium warp .

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Ignores Hunter's condescending remark about the science officers::  CTO:  I believe that it might spark more interest than already exists.  It would call attention to the area once again.

Host FCO_Bumbles says:
ACO: Aye ma'am.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Contact Headquarters and tell them what we know so far.

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: I had thought about that, as a scientist myself, and I thought that a definitive answer that it is a normal byproduct of the creature and that containment is working may be acceptable, however I didn't know about the CO's desire to not use such a plan

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  The crew is not so dense as you might think.

OPS_D`von says:
::wonders exactly what they know, but sends a report to headquarters about finding a werid sound and going to check it out::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: You said Detweiller 3 is not in danger?

CTO_Vendal says:
CNS: On the contrary I was thinking that if they believed that it was assured that finding the fastest way to get it off the ship then the crew could be focused on that goal

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: Yes. The science team and the fungus will be safe.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: It will still be an excellent scientific observation will it not?

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO/CNS: what do know so far about the rumors, How far they have spread or decreased etc?

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: I am getting numerous reports of attempts to slip by for even a peek at the corridor, not that my security personnel can't handle it, on the contrary, but I am just trying to find a way to relieve the stress, one person had to be escorted away 5 times in one shift

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: Certainly. One does not see such a large rogue body very often.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: How long until the planet gets to the belt?

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am I have a translated message, shall I play it?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Yes.

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: Approximately 15 hours.

OPS_D`von says:
::plays the message over the speakers::

Host Brett says:
Action: The comm circuit crackles to life, static finally gives way to a small voice.  It sounds decidedly juvenile and probably female, at least that is how the computer interprets it as it repeats the translated message.

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I have a list compiled of all the rumors I could find, in the order of most ridiculous.  At this point I have heard no new ones for about four hours and interest seems to be dying off.

Host Brett says:
COMM: Hello?  Calling all angels, please answer me.  This is Ayella.  My father says I shouldn't use the transmitter, but I have to.  Please don't be angry.  Please help us.  The big rock is getting closer, and we are all very frightened.  No one knows what to do.  Please angels, come and save us.

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO:: ::chuckles:: 5 times? Persistent aren't they...perhaps placing a high strength non-lethal field? Something to give them a jolt?

Host Brett says:
COMM: My world is shaking, and I'm scared.  There's no place that is safe and no safe place to lay my head.  I can't sleep because of the bad dreams.  Please angels, if you can hear me, please help us.

Host Brett says:
COMM: I've been good, my father says so.  He says angels come to kids who are good and give them presents.  Please angels, all I want is for you to make the big rock go away.  We haven't much time, the video shows us where big the rock is.  It will be here soon.

Host Brett says:
COMM: Calling all angels, this is Ayella...please come in.  Please talk to me.  Please...help us.

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: But wouldn't that in itself generate more interest, I am worried about the normal drive to explore that is in every SF person, if it is unknown they want to know it

Host Brett says:
Action: The message ends.

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am it sounds like a prewarp civilization child is calling for help because of the rouge planet

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Grins at the curiosity of the crew::  CTO:  It would be hard to resist taking a peek.  I've wished for the same thing.

CSO_Syrna says:
::listens and her expression becomes more stony than normal as she prevents herself from expressing the burgeoning emotions she feels inside::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::her face sinks as she thinks about what this means::  OPS: ::softly::  In deed it does.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::continues calibrating the computer for additional phaser strips::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  What if we produce something of interest in another part of the ship?  To deflect them from that sensitive area?

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO: True, ::sighs:: It seems that we just keep going round and round in circles...

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: How to stop a rouge planet is beyond me, that is a question for Syrna, and helping this people with out breaking the prime directive well that is your area

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands::  OPS: Forward the message on to HQ and inform them that we are heading to the system now and request orders.  FCO: ETA?

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO/CNS: I have a confession that I wanted to give the CO but with the wedding and such I couldn't find the right time.  While on duty at the holodeck the day of it opening, I was letting some kids view the interior of the holodeck with a monitor, my thought was that it was a great thing for them to tell their kids when they were older, plus I <c>

OPS_D`von says:
::nods to the ACO and sends the message::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at D'von, he can read what is going on behind her eyes:: ACO/OPS: I do not know how to stop a rogue planet... not off the top of my head anyway.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*AXO/CNS*: I need you on the bridge when you are able.

CTO_Vendal says:
hadn't read the newest orders to keep it off limits, I am afraid that most of the rumor is my fault

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO:; You what!!!

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Could we redirect it somehow, or break it up into smaller pieces

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO: You have to tell Commander Tarrez, and I remember correctly you were still disobeying a direct order

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Sits up wondering if he means the dragon holodeck, surely not::

AXO_Hunter says:
*ACO*::  Just a moment ma'am

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO/AXO:  Wait, only children saw the dragon, then?

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at D'von:: OPS: Possible... however the system is in a delicate balance,... I would have to take into account the projectiles of such a planetary break up...

CNS_Jakiel says:
*ACO*:  Yes, ma'am...do you need us immediately?

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: I have intended to make a report about it, I was not going to conceal it.  I am just afraid that in light of the fact that we have eye witnesses, yes children but still when all 10 kids draw the same thing you have to wonder

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CNS*: Not necessarily

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO:: Place yourself on report Lieutenant, and inform the Commander as soon as possible, preferably now.

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am I have sent the message to command, requesting further orders

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Children have the most vivid imaginations and each will most likely say something different.  Even I had a hard time believing the captain there was a dragon on the ship at first.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to OPS::  CSO: Work on some options for us.

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: I already have a report of the incident on this PADD ::Pulls out PADD:: I can give it to her immediately, if you feel we are done here

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods at the ACO, begins taking scanners::

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO/CNS:: Yes we are done...we can continue this at a later date...preferably with Commander Tarrez

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO/CTO:  I could talk to the children one by one and casually see what they have told their parents?

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: Understood ::Snaps to::

AXO_Hunter says:
:stands and walks to the bridge visibly angry::

Host FCO_Bumbles says:
ACO: 16 hours ma'am.  Sorry it took so long but there's a glitch in this console. ::bangs it a few times::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am what do we do about the message and the child, I don't think answering it and having her think angles are on the way is the best course of action

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS: But would that too draw suspicion?

CTO_Vendal says:
CNS: I made it seem it was a big secret that they weren't to talk to even each other about but you know kids

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::notes Owyn's look and raises an eyebrow.  Goes ahead and gives an update to the AXO and CNS::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Gets up and breathes deeply, feeling the anger of the doctor::  AXO:  It could, yes...I will leave that up to you.  But as I said, the rumors have dropped off.

OPS_D`von says:
::sees the FCO hitting the console:: FCO: Easy over there, I am sure the program is working just fine, it is probably the operator behind the console

AXO_Hunter says:
::sighs, growing to hate command more an more::

CTO_Vendal says:
CNS: At the time I didn't realize how big of a secret it was

CTO_Vendal says:
::moves to leave and waits for dismissal::

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: I have some unfortunate news... I have done some calculations and the Delphyne does not have the fire power to break up the planet. ::almost sounds sad::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I know...accidents happen, but I don't think it has caused damage this time.

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: What about a shuttle on self destruct?

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Let's hope not anyway.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO/CNS: We have received a comm from what sounds like a pre-warp society that is about to get hit by a big rock the size of Earth.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Commander will you be needing the runabout I am beginning an upgrade to increase its firepower

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Moves near Hunter and waits for the ACO to finish::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Whispers:: AXO:  A word with you in a second, please?

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: Of course counselor

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: We carry 120 photon torpedoes... perhaps if we fire consistently at the same fracture,.... we may be able to break the planet in half... however it would depend on how much time we had and we would have to be very precise about where to fire.

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles:: CSO: Well if precision is the key then I am glad we have you

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Turns her attention back to the ACO and hears some quite unpleasant news::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Take you station and look for any near by ships to coordinates that OPS will send you now.

OPS_D`von says:
::sends the CTO the coordinates to the CTO::

CTO_Vendal says:
::Moves to the ACO and hands her a PADD:: Aye Ma'am ::Moves to his station after ACO takes PADD::

CSO_Syrna says:
::almost smiles:: OPS: If you will note. D'von-kam... I do not operate the torpedo launchers.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: Not for a few hours I won't be needing it.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks over at the CTO officer and frowns::

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  And are we barred from helping them?

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Minor details

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Aye sir, K`Vas out

Host FCO_Bumbles says:
ACO: Uh....ma'am....::raises his hand::  At our current speed and the speed of the rock...we're not going to make it in time.

OPS_D`von says:
CNS: I think we can help as long as they don't know we are helping

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: That is what I want you to determine.  Search the database to see exactly how much we can and can't do.

CTO_Vendal says:
::receives coordinates and nods to OPS::

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO: Since they are a prewarp society?

OPS_D`von says:
CNS: and besides I won't tell if you don't tell.

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Read the fine print...I will begin a search now.  How much time do we have?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::growls a bit and walks up to the FCO::  FCO: What is the time difference?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: 15 hours until the rock hits the belt.

Host FCO_Bumbles says:
ACO: About an hour.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Any ships closer than we are?

CTO_Vendal says:
::scanns for other ships::

CNS_Jakiel says:
OPS:  I think SF might notice a little deviation to the rules.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: None on sensors

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Have you been able to pinpoint the location of that comm?

OPS_D`von says:
CNS: but like I said, are we breaking any rules if we never come in to contact with the people or the planet they live on, and just do something about the planet that is going to hit theirs

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  And how long before critical time to intercept the rock out of the way.  The last possible deflection time?

CNS_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Well, that's what I'll be finding out.  Would you like to find out the hard way and go ahead and try it?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: ::sounds a bit shorter than she intends to sound:: CNS: I don't have that answer yet.

OPS_D`von says:
CNS: It wouldnt be the first time we did something we weren’t suppose to, ::shuts up quickly, and trials off::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns::  OPS:  D'Von?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Understands why the ACO would be a bit irritable right now:: ACO:  Understood...I will work with the CSO and read as fast as possible.

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: What? ::acts like he doesn’t know what she is talking about::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: ::voice a bit cold::  I asked if you have found the location of the Comm origins.

CNS_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Yes, but this time you'd get all the credit...so have at it.  ::Goes to science 2 and pulls up the Federation charters::

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: You wanted a word with me?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: We have to get someplace in 15 hours that the computers say will take us 16... I need a way to get there sooner.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::walks up to Owyn::  AXO: Suggestions?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Turns to Hunter::  AXO:  Yes, but quickly.  I have observed that the CTO has a bit of a problem understanding the reasoning behind all of our protocols...he seems to be getting used to the way we do things.  Please consider this in dealing with him.

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: I am sending the coordinates to you know ::send them to her::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: I will return to engineering, I believe it may be possible but there will be risks involved :: motions for the TO to follow and heads for engineering double time::

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: ::takes a breath and lets it out:: I honestly have no idea....Im a doctor, not an engineer

TO_Re`Volos says:
::falls in behnd the CEO and double times it as well::

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: He's a Lt, he should have learned a long time ago orders are orders....i can let minor things slide...this was not minor

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Assign any officer with engineering training or cross-training to the CEO... he is to have all the manpower he needs.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: I am all ears.

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO:  I agree it wasn't minor...but did he understand that?  If he didn't then it will happen again.  With a reprimand I would suggest making sure he understands fully.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Please contact the scientists in the system and make sure they are aware of the situation and see if they have any suggestions.

OPS_D`von says:
::nods to the ACO and sends all his men that have any training in engineering or ship systems to meet up with him in main engineering::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*:I will need to reroute power from all unnecessary systems to boost warp containment fields, it may give you what you are asking.  We may die gloriously.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks to Owyn to see what he thinks::

AXO_Hunter says:
::looks at her with the your the CO look I have no idea::

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: Ma'am... I believe we are going about this problem the wrong way..... maybe it would be easier to move the asteroid then to destroy the planet....

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: But we do still need a way to get there in time.

OPS_D`von says:
*CEO* I have sent most of my men to meet up with you in engineering, I will keep an eye on things from up here, please don't blow us up, because if you do, dead or not you get to tell K'Beth we totaled her ship

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns and looks at the view screen in deep thought::

CEO_K`Vas says:
::enters ME and begins rerouting power to the warp containment fields:: *OPS*: I will do my best

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meanwhile - back on Starbase 39-Sierra
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Brett says:
INFO: The third day of negotiations continues in much the same vein as the first two; the Romulan intelligence officer, Tellus and his counterpart Commander Doleo, bluster back and forth about Espionage, treaty violations, "incidents" and so forth.  

Host Brett says:
INFO: Modex and his executive officer sit quietly through the proceedings with only Gall offering opinions on any point.  Admiral Kiel also remains silent, speaking up only when something important needs be said.

Host Brett says:
INFO: The third day is drawing to a close and little progress has been made.

Host K`Beth says:
::shifts as now both her butt and her brain are numb from the endless droning and bickering.  Wishes they were in a round of good old Klingon negotiations.::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Shirts his piercing eyes to K'Beth when she fidgets, as he has done most of the day.  His gaze looks expectant, and somewhat amused, as if waiting for her to say something and knowing she does not want too.::

Host K`Beth says:
::listens to Doleo and Tellus go back over the same arguments they have for the past few days and has had enough.  Slams a PADD down on the table and then turns mildly to both of them when she has their attention.  Calmly with a hint of tiredness behind it as if she is speaking to two recaltrant little school boys:: Doleo/Tellus: Gentlemen....is all of this really necessary?  We are talking about one old, out-gunned ship entering into the edge of your space where there is absolutely nothing of value to either one except for the hope that some of our missing people survived...that's all.

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> K'Beth: Yes, we know.  So you have claimed.  In truth, we are not at all worried about your vessel as a military threat, it is more "subtle" dangers we are concerning ourselves with.  Commander Modex himself has stated that your vessel might have been involved with some questionable activities?

Host K`Beth says:
Tellus: Since those 'activities' have been documented and analyzed and scrutinized by both sides...I think we can move on, Commander.

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Looks at Modex::

Host K`Beth says:
::leans over and picks up the coffee pot in the middle of the table and pours herself a fresh cup and then looks around silently asking if anyone wants some before putting it back down::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> All: In point of fact, there is one question that I have which remains unanswered.  Captain T'Kar and I were interrupted during our discussion yesterday.  I feel that the answer to that question could go a long way toward resolving my...reservations, about this mission.  Of course, ::Looks at K'Beth:: we can always stay here and negotiate.

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> :: Looks at Modex and then K'Beth, her eyes narrowing in curiosity.::

Host Brett says:
<Doleo> ::Looks at K'Beth, his eyes narrowing with suspicion and not a little animosity.::

Host K`Beth says:
::is thankful for once that Flynn likes to play secretive about pulling off his little stunts.  Looks Modex straight in the eye:: Modex: I can honestly tell you that I have absolutely no knowledge of what happened.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> : Looks back at her, studying her with his penetrating eyes.  She senses he is looking past her own eyes and into her being, measuring her and her words.::  ::Nods slightly::

Host Brett says:
<Modex>: All: Very well.  I believe we can trust the good Captain and her "old, out-gunned" vessel.  While we may have to render mechanical assistance, I see no real threat.  I and my ship stand ready.

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> ::Sighs and sags in her chair a bit with relief::

Host K`Beth says:
::chuckles at Modex's reference and then turns and looks at Tellus and Dole expectantly::

Host Brett says:
<Doleo> ::Stares at K'Beth and Modex for a long time, obviously certain there is something happening he is missing.::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Looks at Modex, eyes showing mistrust and disappointment, but nods as if accepting the inevitable.::

Host Brett says:
<Gall> ::Looks to his Captain and then also accepts the decision, though he too appears less that thrilled.::

Host K`Beth says:
::sits back in her chair and sips her coffee letting the Admiral take the meeting::

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> All: Well then, I am glad we have come to an agreement.  I will draw up the documents necessary to formalize this mission within the parameters we have already laid out and we will reconvene tomorrow morning at 1000 hours to sign.  With luck, our lost souls will soon be recovered and all will be reunited with their loved ones.

Host K`Beth says:
::nods in agreement with the Admiral::

Host Brett says:
Action: Kiel stands and smiles, Doleo also stands but remains grim.  Tellus mirrors him.  Modex and Gall stand as one, Modex appears calm, almost as if finally seeing what he has been looking for.

Host Brett says:
<Kiel>: Ladies and gentlemen, until tomorrow.  ::Motions for them to make their way out and a guard opens the door for them from the outside.::

Host K`Beth says:
::stands up a bit stiffly and grins ruefully as she stretches her back a bit before putting down her coffee cup and heading towards the door with the others::

Host K`Beth says:
Admiral: Ma'am...if there is nothing else...I think I'm for a hot shower and a nice long sleep.

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> K'Beth: (Quietly) I understand.  Good work.  ::Smiles and pats her shoulder.::

Host K`Beth says:
::chuckles and says just as quietly:: Admiral: Ma'am...you must be the toughest soul around here to do this day after day....I'd rather take on a fleet of Orion pirates. 

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> K'Beth: How fortunate of you to say so, that brings me to your next assignment...::Laugh::  Good Night Captain.

Host K`Beth says:
::grins and heads off towards her quarters after nodding a good night to the others::

Host K`Beth says:
ACTION: After a hot shower, K'Beth curls up on the couch in the her temp quarters and starts to go through the pile of PADDs she brought off of the Del.  Pauses every so often to look out the window and wonder what is happening to them.

Host Brett says:
Action: The door chimes.

Host K`Beth says:
::looks at her chronometer and then at the door wondering who could be visiting at this late hour.  Gets up and walks to the door and opens it::

Host Brett says:
Action: A man dressed in steward's clothing, white jacket etc. pushes a large, cloth covered cart into the room.  On top are several covered silver serving dishes along with smaller accompanying dinnerware.

Host K`Beth says:
::steps aside out of the carts way:: Steward: What is this?  I didn't order any food.

Host Steward says:
K'Beth: Captain, good evening.  Compliments of Admiral Kiel.  She sends her regards and hopes this meal will show her gratitude.

Host Steward says:
::Lifts the cover off of one dish revealing a Klingon delicacy: Pipius Claw.::

Host Steward says:
K'Beth: An assortment of Klingon dishes.  The admiral shares an affinity for them.  ::Removes several other covers revealing more dishes of Klingon food, including wonderfully alive gagh.::

Host K`Beth says:
 ::sniffs at the food, suddenly realizing that she hadn’t eaten all day.  Then chuckles to herself thinking that the Admiral was probably just as hungry as she was and is right now tucking into a similar dinner. She indicated all of the dishes:: Steward: The Admiral must think I have a host of people in here.  Thank you, steward...I can serve myself.  And thank the Admiral for me.

Host Steward says:
::Holds up one last small dish, takes the cover off unveiling a greenish crystalline powder.::  K'Beth: And finally, from Commander Modex, Gentarran spice, from his home's orchard.  He says it will enhance the flavor of any dish.  ::Holds it so she can sniff it's aroma.::

Host K`Beth says:
::remembers what Modex told her about his orchard and grins as she takes a sniff remembering that fruit drink they had.::

Host Steward says:
::Blows the powder into her face, then steps back smiling.::

Host K`Beth says:
::staggers back alarmed and sneezing. Wipes her face:: Steward: What the hell was that for? ::reaches for the comm unit to call security::

Host Steward says:
Action: K'Beth's vision begins to blur, her muscles turn to jelly and refuse to obey her commands.  The room starts to spin and she falls to her knees.

Host Steward says:
Action: The comm unit, though activated, does not seem to work.

Host Steward says:
K'Beth: Taps the first tourine lid.::  A localized jammer.  Rather ingenious actually.  Sweet dreams::

Host K`Beth says:
::looks up at him dazed trying to gather her thoughts as her vision goes dark:: Steward: Bloody hell.....

Host Steward says:
Action: K'Beth falls forward onto her face, and darkness claims her.
