Host Tim says:
The cloaking device was engaged and detected a Romulan scout ship on the Romulan side of the neutral zone.  The cloaked Dublin spun 180 degrees and raced away from the perceived threat at warp 
8.  11.5 minutes have passed and the device should disengage in thirty seconds.

Host Tim says:
The airways have been filled with frantic calls from Avalon station since the Dublin cloaked and went off everyone's sensors.  Avalon and the Vulcan science vessel Vermash have been actively scanning for the Dublin.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
<EO Fix-um> *XO*: Ma'am all is well down here, the device gave us no problems.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: nods and sends the transmission code to the Captain's ready room ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns and enters his ready room.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
*EO*: Good to hear EO, how’s the CEO?

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
XO: I have something for you, Commander. ::Offers a PADD::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
<EO Fixum> *XO*: Sleeping like a baby ma'am, make me want to tuck him in.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Takes PADD from CTO and starts to read.::

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
XO: Rico Polo, he just got his third pip, and XO on the Apache. We've been trying to serve together again for almost a year now, he needs me.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: The CO will be contacting them, presently.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CTO: We need you here. Who’s Rico Polo?

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
XO: No response then ma'am?

Host Adm_Garrison says:
@COM: Dublin: Cerdan: Captain, what is so important that it couldn't wait until you docked here?

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
XO: Sensors indicate everything went well with test of the cloak.

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
XO: Someone I met on my temporary assignment over the holidays last year. The one I can't talk about? ::winks::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
SO: Good to hear, SO.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: Tell them it was part of the test and the CO will explain that’s all for now.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
COM: Avalon: Admiral, as you may have just surmised. Our first test has just completed.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Sighing at the million things demanding her attention returns to the CTO.::

Host Adm_Garrison says:
@COM: Cerdan: So I presumed. It was not expected that you would test so close to us.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
COM: Avalon: Garrison: We have resumed course to Avalon.

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
XO: I've already briefed Lieutenant Takeda on everything, and all the teams have been drilled and briefed for any contingencies. You'll be fine.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
COM: Avalon: Garrison: I'm sorry Admiral, but it took some time to decode the spyware built into the operational software.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CTO: Oooh I suppose if I 'met someone' I'd want to be with them too, but boy are you going to be missed. I don't doubt you've trained your people well. ::She fell silent.::

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
XO: Aye ma'am, will contact them.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
XO: You were an excellent engineer and an even better CTO but a great friend...

Host Adm_Garrison says:
@COM Cerdan: I will provide an explanation to the station personnel about the faulty equipment here and the shoddy maintenance. You created a small problem for me Captain.  We'll discuss it later.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
:: downloads the test results to the PADD :: walks to the XO: XO: For your information and the captains as well. The cloak has performed to perfection. 

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
XO: Sometimes, you have to follow your heart Chris. I know you were counting on me to carry this thing through, but I'm sure you'll muddle through somehow. ::looks a bit unhappy about the whole thing::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: Hold on station contact.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: I better check with CO on what he wants to say.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
COM: Avalon OPS: Avalon operations, this is the USS Dublin. We have experienced a small glitch in our sensor grid. Working on it now. Captain Cerdan will be contacting your station Commander shortly. Dublin out.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
COM: Avalon: Garrison: Understood, But something wasn't right with this test from the beginning. I thought you should know.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Looks at OPS.:: OPS: Nice work

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
<EO_Fixum>: ::checks the computer logs and smiles:: *XO*: Other good news here, the code the Chief worked, we sent the worm to the Vulcan computer.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Looks apologetically at the CTO.::*EO*: Did we get anything yet?

Host Adm_Garrison says:
@COM: Cerdan: Spyware?  Be ready to fully explain that face to face. I don't trust any comm channels just now.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
XO: Sorry Commander, already sent a message, but called the sensor blackout a glitch. :: smiles :: Is that alright ma'am?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
COM: Avalon: Garrison: Aye Admiral. Dublin out.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
<EO_Fixum>: *XO*: Not yet, the worm must be very slow to not be detected, we may try in a few hours though.

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Continues to monitor her systems:: XO: He left the Triton when it was at Avalon... he'll be waiting for me to go with him... I thought I'd give you folks some notice.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: Not that’s fine, we can work that.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: breathes a sigh of relief ::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Sends CO text message on the comm contact so he's aware.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Taps the desk  with his fingers in rapid succession, before rising and returning to the bridge.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CTO: We're glad to get it and glad you've been on as long as you were, this other vessel better know what kind of CTO they're getting.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Steps onto the bridge.:: XO: What’s this about.........?

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
XO: I served on the Apache as TO right out of the Academy... but I don't think any of the senior staff is still there.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Takes his seat::

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: listens to the subspace chatter :: XO: Oh Commander, there's been an increase in comm traffic between the Vermash and Vulcan. Just wanted to keep you alerted.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Sir OPS sent a com message about our sensor glitch...

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CTO: Don't be a stranger ok? ::Imitates Paige’s mom:: You could comm more often dear...::quick smile before answering the others....

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Nods to Cmdr. Harker.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: Do we know what they are saying? ::Turns to CO.:: CO: Though we can guess....

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Nods at the XO::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: at the helm ::

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
:: goes back to monitoring the sensor array for anything :: 

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO; I'm sure they are scratching their heads.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
XO: A lot of the usual chatter, but only bits and pieces. I suspect they are using a coded channel.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
<EO_Fixum>: ::goes to check the matter antimatter mix just to be sure::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::sends a text message to CTO, 'A new senior staff to break in for you, sorry.'

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Continues to monitor her sensors::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
OPS: Understood, if you can get anymore or if there's a change keep us posted.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Helm, time to Avalon at present speed?

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: No doubt sir, did your talk with the Admiral go well?

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: looks over at the FCO :: FCO: You're awfully quiet cadet.

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Sends a text back: "Better than the old bunch, most were jerks. A fresh start" ::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::text to CTO 'Well that’s good, here's to hoping it goes well.'::

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::nods::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Sir I got this from the CTO. ::Hands him the PADD and explains a little of the situation.:

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Not what I expected. ::Takes the PADD.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Nor I sir.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::checks the ETA to Avalon::  CO: Sir, with our present speed, we will arrive in three and a half days.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: sits up a bit straighter after answering the CO ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks at the PADD and up at the tac console.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Understood.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: whispers ::  OPS: Just doin' my job...

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: You just received this?

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Just a few moments ago yes sir.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: winks at the cadet :: FCO: And a fine job you're doing too.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: I talked to her she seemed rather set.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Shakes his head:: XO: Timing is everything.  See to it the paperwork is completed.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
SO: Full scans on our way in, Anything no matter how slight I want reported.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Aye Sir. I wish it were otherwise but its her choice, I have every faith in her people until...::doesn't say 'until we get a new CTO' just shrugs.::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: keeping an eye on his navigational sensors for anything out of the ordinary ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Nods again.:: XO: Yes indeed.

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: No new contacts Captain, that Talon is still holding position on their side of the Zone. It's a good bet they noticed all this activity though.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CTO: Hopefully they are looking at Avalon and not us.

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
CO/XO: Sensors are picking up a talon scout ship as close as it can get to the NZ without entering it; and a patrol has changed course to intercept the Dublin.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: listens to the comm and sees if there is a way to break that gosh darn code of theirs ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Stands and moves to the tactical console.::

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: Aye Sir. I wouldn't place any bets against them monitoring all that radio and sensor traffic though Sir.

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
CO: Someone is scanning us intently. I think it may be the Vermesh.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CTO: When will the Patrol intercept us?

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: That Vulcan ship was also specifically been targeting us the whole time, Captain. I'd watch out for those pointy-eared bastards. ::said privately in a quiet voice as he gets close::

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: About 1.75 days sir.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Open a channel to the patrol vessel sir?

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: whispers to Ferrone :: FCO: You may get busy in a few minutes.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: anticipates a possible course correction... enters in two alternate courses and puts them on standby ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CTO: Easy lass, those Vulcans may be on our side in this.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::whispers:: OPS: I think you're right.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: watches Ferrone :: FCO: That's it cadet, by the book. :: grins ::

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: Or they could be Tal-Shiar posing as Vulcans Sir, it's happened before. Just watch your six.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
<EO_Fixum>:: makes sure all the software on the cloaking device can be restarted::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: I think not, They probably have orders to escort us in.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Shouldn't we confirm their intentions sir?

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
CO/XO: May I suggest we put the cloak on standby just in case..

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Smiles at all the input he's getting from the crew.::

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: I've briefed Lieutenant Takeda on everything sir, and the department is ready.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Just keep monitoring, Alert me when she gets closer.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Aye Sir how close?

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
XO: Sir, I have several alternate course corrections laid in, ready for your command, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
SO: Take another look at the Vulcans and the Romulan scout.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
FCO: Good job FCO, we may need them.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: When she's a couple hours out.

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
:: listens to an incoming hail :: CO/XO: Confirmation has just been received that an escort has been sent to lead us to Avalon.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Aye Sir.

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
CO: Understood. :: punches in LRS to see the Vulcans and the scout :: They're both still at their relative positions to us.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
FCO: Please note for future shifts to alert us when that patrol vessel is 3 hours out. ok?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
XO: Sir, understood, sir.

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: Talon and Vulcan still in place Sir, no change.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: moves the Dublin using thrusters to the docking bay Avalon indicated ::

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
:: watches the docking from his sensors :: 

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
CO: Sir, just so you know, this docking bay seems to be the farthest away from any of the other populated docking bays.  It looks like we're being isolated.

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: I've got a security plan for once we docked Captain, and I've advised my people on our overlapping plans. The Talon has moved deeper into Romulan space also, not still hanging around the border like before sir.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::listens to the CTO's report.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Understood.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: maneuvers the Dublin towards the docking clamps ::

OPS_Ens_Chatters says:
CO: Captain, Avalon is requesting that Dublin personnel only be given restricted leave on the station.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: We have plans to protect the device sir?

SO_Ens_McCarthy says:
:: secures his station :: 

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: completes the final docking procedures ::  CO: We're now docked sir.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
*CTO*: Would you mind assigning two armed guards to main engineering, just in case?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: The ship will remain at condition yellow until I meet with the Admiral.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Aye sir, Shall I go with you?

CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO/XO: They are going to have a 4 man security team on the docks 24/7 until further notice. I intended for us to maintain Internal Security condition Yellow while we were docked.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Very good, Secure your station.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
CO: Aye, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
