Summary:  The Delphyne is making ready for its next encounter with the Chiku Shan, using the information they got from the captured Captain Prilar.
 
The Del is still in the Andorian sector having been ejected there from the Chiku Shan's transit tunnel.  The trip that would have taken days at high warp had occurred in minutes, adding a new perspective to the range the Cheyenne class has.
 
The CEO remains in stasis and will until the Del can reach base or rendezvous with a hospital ship. It was as feared by the medical staff; he has Hyronalin poisoning from the anti radiation treatments.  His life could hang in the balance.
 
The Chiku Shan has not been sighted since it was pursued into its tunnel.  Is the ship ready to continue on its mission?  Or has the Del bought itself valuable time by taking its captain?
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Seven-  “Can you believe your eyes?” What does it take to change a man?.....  Star date 10802.27

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::on the turbo lift riding up to the Bridge::
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::standing at his console finishing the decoys off::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge watching the preparations::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::impatiently tapping the PADD in her hand as she waits for the lift to arrive::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: finishes up the last of the holo program for the probes:: CTO: Hey Ty could we put a couple of phasers on those probes?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moving to a station, checking on the preparations::
 
Action: There is an incoming hail from Andoria

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::once it finally opens she takes a deep breath and let's it out before walking out onto the bridge::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are being hailed from Andoria.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Can do buddy. Have to re-modulate them so they appear Dominion

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hands move over her console masking the probes signatures::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::Heads up to the bridge with a stage makeup kit for the injuries::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::silently moves to her station hoping not to get to many eyes::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::turns when Twelk tells K'Beth of the hail::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::dispatches an Armory team to attach and modify the phasers going on the probes::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks over at who just entered and smiled to see the CSO before answering OPS:: OPS: On screen. Lt.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::sees Tarrez-Hunter:: CSO: Commander :;smiles:: Good to see you back

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::leans over and asks the XO quietly:: XO: Maybe a few relatives wanting to say hello? ::grins::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks up at the CSO:: CSO: Welcome back commander

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Lets also keep them on the lower side. Enough to make them think they are being attacked but not enough to damage anything.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::an eyebrow raises:: CO: I'd be surprised, Captain

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CO and speaks quietly:: All: Thank you
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: puts the Call on screen:: CO: Aye Captain on screen.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Ok gotcha

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::sits and tries not to fidget::

 Cmdr_Srallek says:
COM: Delphyne : This is Adorian Operations how can we be of service Delphyne?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::relieves the SO on duty and monitors the rest of the probe preparation::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CSO: Don’t worry commander, we didn’t get the Doc too drunk

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: How many probes are we prepping?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles as he continues to work::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::turns towards Tarrez-Hunter:: CSO: 24

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks with surprise at the CTO::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: I have inputted the Holo program for the Jem’Hadaar ship so when you fire it will look like a Jem’Hadaar ship firing at us.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::then nods her head and returns to her work::  XO: 12 Aye ma'am.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Srallek: Oh nothing...we just happened to pop in the neighborhood. How are things down there?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Excellent. When were finished here want to try some fresh killed Caitian?
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Sure if he is left alive.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::continues to work on the 12 probes to mask their signatures to match Jem’Hadaar ships::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Well i could always cut fresh strips off him for you?

 Cmdr_Srallek says:
:: is momentarily distracted by the XO’s image :: COM: Delphyne : CO : Cold captain, this is Andoria.  When your ships transponder appeared we informed Starfleet command, do you wish us to update them on your position?
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO; I say we just gut him and dine on his liver. :: smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Carefully watches Srallek::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::growls:: Forshak!  ::hands re-modulates the frequency again::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Srallek: Thank you but we've already sent in our report.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Liver?  That could be nice with a nice red wine
 
CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
:;arrives on the bridge::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::now the frequencies match finally::
 
Action : One of the probes feeds back tossing the EO to the deck...cussing

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
Out loud: Qu'Valth!!!!!!!!

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Think we could tan his hide and hang it on the Ready Room wall?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up as the doors of the lift open and smiles brightly as she sees her husband walk onto the bridge::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: You know I believe my Ferengi crewmember has be able go get some of that also.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::gets up and goes back to her station cursing in Klingon::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: We should make a dinner of it. What you think?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hands move in unison as she makes the necessary sparks and smoke from several bridge consoles to mimic being fired upon::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::continues to work on the probes adjusting the programs for attack vectors::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::returns the smile of his wife and winks at her, takes the CNS seat setting the kit down on the floor::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Sounds like a plan old friend.

  Cmdr_Srallek says:
COM: Delphyne: CO: Very well captain :: eyes the XO again:: Should your crew need anything we await your request.  :: pauses :: Oh and captain we received a brief subspace message for you

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Gonna join us for dinner later commander?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::checks the screen in her chair then looks back up at the Andorian on the screen::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Srallek: Forward it, please.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Slowly turns her head to McQueen:: CTO: Let me know when and I'll try, Lt.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Excellent

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::returns her attention to the probes::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: Captain I have done the modifications to the ships consoles and at your order I will make them do what you ordered.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::turns back to face the screen::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::goes back to her console and the programming of the probes yet again::

 Cmdr_Srallek says:
:: sends the message :: COM: Delphyne : CO: If you should require anything else we stand ready.
 
Action: The message comes in marked for the CO eyes only

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO: Cmdr are all the holo emitters in place on the Del?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Srallek: Thank you.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS:  Another minute or two

 Cmdr_Srallek says:
:: takes a last look at the XO then closes comm.::
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO; Captain this message is marked Captains eyes only.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Forward that message to my ready room.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO; Aye Captain :: sends message to ready room::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*EO*: Thank you...report to the XO for your next orders.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: Yjaj

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Commander...you have the bridge. ::stands up and limps into her ready room::
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Commander I’m getting an intermittent contact

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO; Roger then I shall start inputting the holo program for them now.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::still staring at the screen, wondering:: CO: Aye  :;moves to the big chair::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: From where?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS:  Alright they are finished now.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: I have the necessary frequencies for the masking of their signals to make them look like Jem'Hadaar.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins rescanning for the contact:: XO: Cant get a fix commander. I`m working on it

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::heads over to her desk and brings up the message::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: Good I have inputted the holo program so that they look like the jem Hadar ship also.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::opens her SRS and LRS sensor readouts::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: The bugger is toying with us Commander. cant lock it down

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: I have the specs if you want them to look more real.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins adjusting the sensor suite::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Keep working on it.  I'll try from TAC2.  Maybe we can get lucky ::moves out of the chair and quickly goes to TAC2::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Aye boss

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CTO: Maybe I can get you a more enhanced scan of your quarry.
 
Info: The message shows a relaxed bald headed man, wearing a Commodore’s uniform of the era of the Chiku Shan.  "Rest well captain, you will need it for taking a member of my crew. "

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Can you gimme a small power boost to the sensors?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hands move over the console attempting to boost the output of the sensor pallet for tactical scans::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: finishes up the ship holo program:: CSO: The holo program in place we should look like the Poseidon when they show up.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::curses in every language she knows and then goes storming out of the ready room, Dog scuttling fast behind her.  Dog dives under the center seat to get out of the way:: XO: :;a little sharply:: Report, Commander.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: There is a draw back however to our probes.  They are taking the modulation fine but they are going to eat up power to project the data streams we want.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps commands into the station, trying to find a way to get a fix on the contact::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::fingers fly across his console trying to nail the contact down::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to OPS::  XO: Probes are ready.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
*Engineering*: Bring online two fusion reactors and add them to the power grid.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: routes some more power to the sensors:: CTO: That is all I can give you for now the shield emitters are taking the rest of it for the holo image

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: OK thanks

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CTO: Try filtering out some of the spatial distortions.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, preparations are on schedule.  We've got an intermittent contact.  McQueen and I are trying to tag it now
 
Action: There is an incoming comm. from sickbay with visual

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: Captain, I have the simulated wounds and make up you requested...good thing i got the hang of it training the cadets at Starfleet Medical....

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: Noted Commander

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Be nice if they would stay still

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: Stand by on that Doctor.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: ETA until preparations are complete?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CMO: No need to make any scars on me.  I can do that myself easily.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: Aye ma'am
 
XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: That would make it too easy, Lt.  ::glances up at him with a quick grin, then turns her attention back to the board::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CTO: I will give you a barrel of blood wine if that is not our Ghost ship.

 Cmdr_House says:
*CO*: Captain if you are going to steal other peoples captains could you teach them to stay quiet, this one is waking the dead down here

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::swears under his breath:: EO: No bet. That’s a definite.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Taps a command:: CO: Captain, they should be done in about ::glances at the readout:: 30 minutes

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*House*: What is he doing, House?
 
EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CTO: Well my friend you are on.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::debates whether to say anything and then leans over and speaks quietly so as not to be overheard:: XO: We might have a bigger problem now.  The Admiral has been made the new Captain of the Chiku Shan.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles and goes back to his chase::

 Cmdr_House says:
*CMO*: Apparently he is begging himself not to kill himself.  Complaining about whispers in his head.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*House*: Can you sedate him enough to shut him up?  ::adds hastily:: And keep him alive?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::mutters:: I want these p'tahks on my bed post.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*House* sedate him then

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
XO: I can screw with the helm to make us look like we are really bad off.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::runs more scans::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:::: hears House:: CTO: he doesn't have to kill himself I will glady do it for him.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Could be a useful use of his nasty hide

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hears OPS::  OPS: Well I will have his heart and you can take the rest.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
EO: As much as I hate doing that, we do need to make it look convincing. Show me what you plan...

 Cmdr_House says:
*CO*: You take all the fun out of it captain :: looks past the CO at the CMO, ignores him and goes back to speaking with the CO :: I will sedate him but if he is exhibiting the same pattern as the last person you stole from the other ship it wont help.  Maybe you need to find a different ship to steal from captain

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: I can start the ships holo program now if we need it.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
XO: Well Commander I can blow out a few relays and the response time from helm to engineering and the engines will be way off but easily repaired quickly.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*House*: Then strap him to the bunk of his cell and turn the sound off.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
XO: I can also make it look like the nacelles are leaking plasma as well.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*house* Did you give him the neural inhibitor?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sets up his ghost program so they look like a lame duck::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: Have it at the ready.  EO: Sounds good, Lt.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
XO: Just give me the order and I will have this ship bucking around like a targ on the end of a rope.

 Cmdr_House says:
*CO*: Works for me

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO; I am having enough problem with the power as it is I dont need you blowing out relays.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: That damn contact isn’t staying still. It has jumped all over the place

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: These are the secondary relays.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves back to the CO's side:: If that's the case, Ma'am......

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs at this House fellow, finding little patience with his antics at the moment::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:; are you sure there isn’t some way of making him take a long walk out a short airlock?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sighs:: XO: Then he might not fall for this.  But hopefully the rest of the crew will.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: I have teams already in the areas where the relays will be blown.  IF they do decide to scan we need to be as realistic as we can.  My teams will repair the secondary systems.

 Cmdr_House says:
*CMO*: Of course I did, didn’t help...Caitians are not telepathic.  If it had worked I would be playing poker instead of listening to this cat argue with himself

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Ghost program is ready. Should trick the blighters sensors Captain

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: And just what relay do you think i am using now.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: The admiral knows a lot about the Del.  But it'll really depend on how much he's being influenced by 'them'

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: CMO: House is a good Doctor, Owyn...not as good as he thinks he is…nor is he as good as you are...but I'd rather have him fill in for you than anyone else.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*House*Well Perhaps you could resort to an old priest and a young priest then.....::wonders if he'd even get the joke::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: The Holo program will show everything that they need to see at this moment.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: You underestimate me.  We have backups for both primary and secondary relays.  I also have two extra fusion reactors online now.  We will make it.  I have great faith in this ship.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Good.  Be ready to fire on them if this ruse doesn't work.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, the Admiral did send us that nice little gift

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: Yes but if this ship is to look like she is crippled we need to act the part as well.

 Cmdr_House says:
*CMO*: I thought of that, but they didn’t think they could help the captain either.  House out :: closes comm. ::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Yes...before he was 'assimilated'.  Let's just hope this isn't another Locutus and Wolf 359.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO; And that is why I am driving this ship so dont' break anything unless we absolutely have to.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
Aloud but just under his breath:; God I hate that man....

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: I agree with you.  He is not to be trusted at this point even if he did send us the gift.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Agreed there.  Captain, we still haven't been able to pin down that contact.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: Believe me I understand your concern but if it gets broken I will get it fixed.  That is my job.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::calls up the recent contacts and tries to draw a pattern together::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::continues chasing sensor ghosts::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
EO: Lt...attend to your duties and not to what the XO and I are discussing.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: Well if it get broke I just hope we are still alive when you get it fixed.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: ETA until we are ready?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: Do not worry my friend it will be taken care of promptly.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks up at McQueen:: CTO: Lt. I've got TAC2 running on continuous scan.  Maybe we'll get lucky

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: Yjaj.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Hopefully he makes a mistake boss

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Moves over to her chair, sits and looks at the screen there::
 
Action : As OPS works routinely he inadvertently touches the right pattern of commands.  Files begin to download on his console and power settings begin to fluctuate through out the ship

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: thinks to himself this EO seem a little to eager to break the ship and starts to wonder if he is working for the enemy::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::head down watching the sensor readouts::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: We could get so lucky

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO/CTO: Just keep a good eye out...it's the Chiku Shan playing with us.  We actually do't want to scare her away until we can try our ruse.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: 10 minutes Captain

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Just a little slip up would be nice

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::watches his sensor readout::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: swears and resets the commands:: CO: Sorry Captain  hit the wrong button.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::has her hands ready for anything that can go wrong with this whole charade::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees the power fluctuations on her arm console:: OPS: What just happened?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: I feel like an old U-Boat crewman hunting a convoy

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::growls:: Self: Not good.  *Engineering*: Bring on line two more reactors and feed them into the power grid.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae wiggle as her eyebrows raise:: CTO: U-boat?  Earth history, right?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: I inadvertently set the program into action captain Sorry i am resetting it now.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::chuckles at the CTO:: Watched Das Boot to many times Lt?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO/CO: Got him. It’s the Chicken Sandwich

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs and reaches up to rub her aching head::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Aye boss old submarine

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles at the DOC::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: We are out of time....is everything ready?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
*Team Alpha*: Make sure you move faster than a targ when the relays go.  I won't stand for anything less than results.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: Doc...begin your magic....

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: heh Ready for your Close up?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Good job, McQueen!
 
Action : The files finish downloading and a single sentence appears before the whole ship goes black,.. a system reset.   The sentence is may'Daq jaHDI' SuvwI' juppu'Daj lonbe'

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Thanks commander

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CTO: I owe you......................P'tahk!!!!!!!!

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Probe are ready Skipper

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Out loud: What?!?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::applies the make up to the bridge crew turning them from there normal selves into the appearance of walking wounded::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::chuckles::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks around::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
*Engineering*: Get me power now!!!

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: We need sparks and ...::looks at the screen:: Out loud: Where did that come from?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain....::pauses as things start happening::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: slams his fist on the console and tries to reboot the system::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hands move over the console from memory::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
Out loud: Qu'Valth!!!!

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::fingers flying over Tac1::

Engineering says:
*EO*: Its a system reset, you got 120 seconds of lights out Lt.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Out loud: "When a warrior goes into battle, he doesn't abandon his friends”
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
Self: Augusfratt!!!

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
*Engineering*: That is 120 seconds to long.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Could that be from the Admiral?  Or is that from ........

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: What happened?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins trying to bring tactical back up::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: I don't know...I don't see how he could have done that...the command codes have been changed.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO: Not really sure this wasn't in the holo program that I know of.

Engineering says:
 *EO*: So sue Starfleet, I just turn spanners down here  :: comm. closes abruptly ::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Isolate where that came from and when it was placed.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: It is a system reboot.  120 seconds to reboot.
 
XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: True, so who else could have put it there?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: What a fracking time
 
Info: 50 seconds to restart

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: No kidding and from what I can see what I did shouldn't have caused it.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: Less than a minute for restart.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Taps, then bangs her fist on the screen on her chair::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: 50 Seconds to restart Captain

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: It wasn't you.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Aye, ma'am as soon as systems reset

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
Aloud:: There, all set

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: All right people...steady up.  We still have a job to do.  As soon as the power comes back up, let's start the charade.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
*Engineering*: I won't sue you but I will come down there and rip your heart out for letting it happen.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye, Captain

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: No I inadvertently started the holo program however this wasn't suppose to happen.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: I smell a bloody rat

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Those probes are going to be power hungry... may not be a good idea until we figure out what happened here?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: You were not at fault.  I have to find out where it started from first.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: it may be a little higher up on the food chain than that .

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: Ill make a show of treating some of you at your posts.

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hands begin to trace backwards hoping to find out where it originated::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: I don't see that we have much choice...the Chiku Shan is out there and she's going to see through the ruse if we don't implement it.  It's the only way we have left to save the hostages.
 
Action: As the power comes back on the Del shakes and bucks a bit as the computer makes adjustments for the SIF, ID, and engines.  There is a urgent message coming from sickbay.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: It is some where in this program.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Sick bay calling again Captain.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: We got sensors?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::opens the computer codes for the holo program to see what happened and try to figure out who was to blame::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*House*: What is it House?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO/OPS: You have three minutes to figure things out then we have to implement the program.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Yes they should be up now. :: continues to check the systems out::

Cmdr_House says:
:: appears covered in blood like he has been sprayed :: *CO*: Well as you can see the sedative didn’t work

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Thanks. time to go fishing

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Working on it now captain.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins running sensor sweeps::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::watches the power come back to the ships systems on her console::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*House*: What happened...::holds up her hand::…without the witty commentary.  We're short on time.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins hunting for his quarry::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: makes one more check of the holo Program::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: You should have everything back by now unless my slaves have loused it up again.

Cmdr_House says:
*CO*: Okay but if it’s boring it’s your fault... the prisoner stated "No I am still loyal to the crew, please I have done what you ordered". Then he had a massive buildup in cranial pressure until it burst.  Told you it would sound boring your way

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: Roger now all I have to do is figure out what went wrong with the holo program.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*House*: ::wrylly:: I think I'll survive the boredom.  Did he say anything else...like maybe exactly what he had done?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Not a pretty way to die.  But if that crew knows what will happen to them if they talk.....

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: It could be one of two things.  The message itself or the feed back from the earlier probe that went nuts in my face.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::tries to ignore House's lack of value for a sentient's life

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: There goes our evenings entertainment

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
EO: This program is not part of the probes program it is only for the ship.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::blinks as she sees the activation commands::  CO:  Captain... I think I have something here....

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: :: shakes head:: I don't know if that will have any effect on them.  Prilar acted like he wanted to die...that it would be a blessing.  But then again....

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: What is it, Sy?

 Cmdr_House says:
*CO*: Just that the whispers were painful and going to kill him :: pauses :: No wonder you are so grumpy, if I was this boring I would be too

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: It was to much to wish for anyways

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: It still could have been that as well.  Leave nothing to chance.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up::  CO: The activation commands are "Ram and repel boarders."

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Maybe we could throw his stinking hide at the Chicken Sandwich?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae wiggle at CTO and OPS::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*House*: ::almost absently as she concentrates on what the CSO is saying:: As always, House...a pleasure.  Keep up the good work...::reaches over and turns off the comm.::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: hears House's comment:: CTO: Maybe we could use House as a replacement. :: smiles::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Ram and repel boarders?

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::looks at the captain and then the CSO::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Now that sounds like a good idea

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: Are you sure I can't confine him to graveyard shifts?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::gives him a look:: CMO: Consider it a character building exercise.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: Now Lt.  House is a  ::pauses as if searching for the right word, shakes head:: doctor

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Permission to run the Jolly Roger up skipper
 
CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sends the information to the CO's arm console::  CO:  See for yourself... could this be a hint on what to do next?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO: Oh he's definitely a character...one that I'd like to see written out of the sequel...

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: Does that mean I can't have him for lunch?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at the information:: CSO: Is there any code behind it?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Yes but it is heavy encrypted.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: Lt!  ::acts stern for a moment, then grins:: At least wait until we're done with him

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::tries to decipher it with the computer::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Then I suggest you decrypt it. ::gives her a grin to take any sting out of her words::  If anyone can...I know that you can.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Already on it

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Got a fix on her skipper. She’s on the other side of Andor

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:; hopes that he has all the bug worked out of the holo program now::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Take us away from here and let's find some open space....keep Andor in between us and her.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, if it is advice, can we trust it?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: I'm not trusting anything anymore, Commander.  We'll stick with our plan and take it from there.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO : Aye Captain ::sets the course and engages::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods::

EO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::growls::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: We're out of time...the new Captain of the Chiku Shan is someone we don't want to come up against once he's fully integrated in with the ship.  So as soon as we get to open space...we'll send the distress call.
 
Action : The Del accelerates to warp and pulls away from Andoria.  Once in warp the Chiku Shan disappears from sensors again.  What where they doing there?  Perhaps the Commodore just wanted to admire the new gadgets.  Or see what Prilar had seen before the cranial explosion.
