  Summary: The USS Delphyne has been sent to patrol a supply route on the left "flank" of the frontlines.  While most of the route lies within Amenti space, a good portion of it extends into the Federation.  The Delphyne's patrol will take them into Amenti territory but should keep them from seeing any battle.

Brett
 Summary: They have arrived at the planet Aria'Arkun, the site of a destroyed Starfleet base which had not yet been completed.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  ::On the bridge watching over the sensors::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  FCO: Standard orbit.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
 ::Putters around sickbay doing the 'doctor' thing::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  <FCO_K'rash>: CO: Aye, sir.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::At her station::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  CO: There are no ships in sensor range.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  CSO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  XO: How are repairs going?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  ::On the bridge:: CO: Slowly but, I believe Lieutenant Heller is making progress.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::finishing on the last client of the hour, he folds his hands and nods:: Patient: So, just to cover      everything. Cats in, and I quote, "clown suits" are attacking your family and trying to assimilate them in each of your dreams?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  XO: That's good to hear. I suppose we have some time to work on repairs?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  CO: Yes, unless something unforeseen arises.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  <Patient> ::nods and uses Kleenex to wipe away a few tears:: CNS: I've had a phobia on cats since my baby sister was attacked by one when I was a child. I guess my last episode with the Borg had a similar effect.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Nods and looks at his notes:: Patient: And... the clown suits?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  XO: Proceed with repairs, all available hands. Let's try to get the Delphyne fully operational before we have to escort anyone anywhere.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  <Patient> CNS: For Halloween, an old Earth holiday tradition, my father dressed up as a clown. One year, he got really drunk and went around the house picking everyone up and spinning them around. And then, he tripped and fell in the fireplace... ::stops and grabs more tissues, once again crying::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  ::Continues typing away at her console the back of her mind thinking on her next chess move to send to Ensign Silelik::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Starts writing a prescription::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  CO: Max and I have engineers pulling double shifts. Would you like me to go down there and check on things?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  XO: Yes, please. I am willing to grab a spanner and go down there myself... ::grimaces as he focuses on the screen ahead::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  Patient: Perhaps we should close for the day. I feel we need a break to reflect on what has been disclosed. I will give you something to help you sleep and diminish the nightmares.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  CO: Very good, Sir. Engineering is where I will be. ::Gets up and moves to Turbolift. Exits Bridge::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::Scans for the same signature from the torpedoes::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  <Patient> ::Nods and accepts the prescription that's been, oddly enough, handwritten and presented to her on, if you can believe it, paper:: CNS: Umm. Thank you, Sir. ::Looks at the paper:: Wouldn't it be easier to just replicate some?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  TL: Deck 12, please.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::Her board beeps and her eyebrow goes up::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  CSO: Lieutenant, I think I may have something about what we've been working on.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  ::Tilts her head:: CTO: Oh? What is it? ::Curiosity now clearly at the forefront of her mind::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Refrains from a facial expression:: Patient: The slip is a recommendation. It is your choice as to whether you wish to actually get the prescription. I will go to sickbay and prepare it for you. If you find yourself in bed and uncertain, you can go there, use your slip, turn it in, and it will be ready for you.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  CSO: I've been taking sensor readings since we've gotten here.  Seems the same types of torpedoes were used here.  I've been able to get some good scans.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  ::Soon arrives in Main Engineering and takes a look around.  He doesn't find Chief Heller::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  CTO: That is well. ::Nods, waiting for her to say more::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  <Patient> ::Stands as the Counselor does and hugs him:: CNS: Thank you. I'm... sorry I cried so much. I'm usually a fairly strong person.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  CSO: The information I've gotten so far seems to indicate that we may be onto something with the randomized rotating frequency.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  Patient: The greatest strength a person can have is in character. Without a strong character, even the most intelligent will display a weak mind.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  CTO: That is quite agreeable progress. Are you ready to give your proposal to the Captain?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  ::Not wanting to bother anyone, as they all look terribly busy, he brings up the engineering schematics at an unused station. He should be able to get an idea of the progress made and that which still needs attending::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::Takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out:: CSO: I think so.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  ::Reviewing mission brief again while wondering about everything they've seen thus far::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  CTO: Then it is time to do so. ::Said about as encouragingly as a plain voiced Vulcan can::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  <Patient> ::Smiles:: CNS: That's interesting. ::She held back saying, 'Coming from a Vulcan', considering they would usually argue in detail about intellect and logic:: Thank you. ::Leaves the Counselor's office::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Acknowledges the patient as she exits and then moves to make a series of notes in his PADD::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Holds his PADD and exits his office, moving towards sickbay::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::Nods:: CSO: I'll get everything pulled up and then give him my report.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  ::Nods::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  *CO*: Sir, everything the engineers can fix has been fixed, except the impulse engines but, they are all working very hard to get those for you as soon as possible.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Enters sickbay, finishes his notes, and puts the PADD away:: CMO: Good day, Doctor.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  *XO*: Thank you for the update, Commander. I suppose we'll have to have a major overhaul for what the engineers can't repair right now?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  *CO*: Aye, Sir. She ain't in great shape. I hope we see no action, she might not make it. I've been told they should be ready to test at full impulse in about 72 hours. I'll be making my rounds of the ship, should you need me.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  CO: Two ships have just appeared on sensors... they are traveling the supply route and are headed toward us coming out of Amenti space. Their speed is warp 3.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
  ::Blinks, and turns around to look at Silelik:: CNS: What?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::Moves between her station and TAC 2 getting the information. Ready for her report, she moves back to her console at the CSO's mention of ships::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  CO: The estimated time of arrival is four days at present speed... but they will cross the Federation border a day before that.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  *XO*: Very good, Commander. You should have your hands full for a while.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  CSO: Can you get a reading on the ships? Are they Amenti or Federation?

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Wasn't quite expecting that response:: CMO: Am I troubling you? I could come back later. I have to prepare a prescription for an... ::Refrains from using the adjective that comes to mind:: ...intriguing patient of mine.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  ::looks down to scrutinize the data on her console further:: CO: At this distance it appears to be an Amenti cruiser and a freighter... ::barely frowns:: of some kind. ::Dislikes being less than precise::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  ::Tilts her head slightly, curious:: CO: There is an incoming signal from the Cruiser.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
  ::Sighs slightly and shakes her head:: CNS: No, sorry, it's fine. I was just...lost in my own world I suppose. ::Turns back to her previous work to finish up:: So, tell me what you need for this patient of your’s.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  CSO: Amenti, put the signal on screen. ::Stands::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
  ::Puts the signal on screen::

Brett
  INFO: An Amenti male appears on the screen.  He is dressed in the uniform of their military and regards you through the viewer for a few moments before speaking.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  CMO: A psychoactive anti-depressant and sleep inducer.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
  ::Heads out of Main Engineering::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  CMO: Have any suggestions? ::Prepares his mental PADD for notes::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::Watches the Amenti closely::

Brett
  <Legus> COM: Delphyne: I am Shipmaster Raal, Commander of the cruiser Legus.  You are the U.S.S. Delphyne are you not?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  COM: Legus: Raal: Yes, we are. I am Captain Tar Rin Mash`ev.

Brett
  <Legus: Raal> COM: Delphyne: CO: We were informed you would be patrolling this area. Welcome.  We have with us a freighter bound for Moloch.  I regret that we are called away to aid in the battles with the Synod; can you rendezvous with the freighter with all speed and complete our escort?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
  ::Opens her hand to get the PADD of information on his patient, expectantly::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Delivers the PADD to Lincaad::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  COM: Legus: Raal: Yes, we will rendezvous with you and escort the freighter the rest of the way. 

Brett
  <Legus: Raal> COM: Delphyne: CO: Excellent. When can we expect you?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
  ::Takes it and raises an eyebrow slightly:: CNS: Intriguing diagnosis...and what did you say this patient's job is?

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  CMO: Junior Supervisor of impulse fuel distribution.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  COM: Ledus: Raal: We can meet you in a day or so. We'll set course for rendezvous and update you on our progress.

Brett
  <Legus: Raal> COM: Delphyne: CO: Very well Captain, we will see if I can coax any more speed out of this krakrat we are escorting.  Good day.

Brett
  INFO: The Shipmaster closes the channel.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  FCO: Lay in an intersect course, best speed.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
  ::Checks her console and nods to herself::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  <FCO_K'rash>: CO: Aye, sir. Course laid in, ready to go to warp.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Admires the inches of Lincaad he can see beyond her lab coat, while maintaining a professional demeanor::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
  ::Raises an eyebrow slightly and glances back toward Silelik without moving...:: CNS: You think that this patient is stable enough to be allowed to continue working? ::Decides to play a bit...turns around and puts her free hand on her hip, tucking the lab coat behind her arm:: I have enough to request a psych hold.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
  FCO: Engage.

Brett
  Action: The Delphyne goes to warp and heads out into Amenti Space.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
  ::Pokes Lincaad in the nose:: CMO: Boop. Let's not.

Brett
  Action: As they travel, a communiqué is received from Starfleet Command.  The USS Annapurna, a Galaxy class vessel thought destroyed, has in fact set course for Synod space.

Brett
  Action: The USS Quirinus has been ordered to pursue and stop her, by any means necessary.
