Host Tim says:
During the last ten days the CSO has run many more simulations of the drilling project with each producing a much higher success rate then that estimated by the Federation Science Council.

Host Tim says:
18 Romulan and 17 Klingon vessels have just arrived with the evacuation limits being 10,946 and 11,026 respectively.  The three independent freighters have returned for their second load of evacuees.

Host Tim says:
Lieutenant Commander Kizlev has had to arbitrate some minor disputes between the Romulans and Klingons but each has now begun loading Mornguans.

CMO: Doctor, how do you do?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::ducks from a shower of sparkles and checks if the consoles are being connected:: EO Dutyfix: Mr. Dutyfix, make sure those screens are well attached, they have to withstand a gravity of 2G.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Commander, the Honour guard reports that the modifications to the guest quarters are complete.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::leaves the cargo  bay and heads toward the main deflector dish, stops on the way to see the status of a few temporary repairs::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:

Host Tim says:
@<Morngu OPS>COM: Dublin: Dublin, as you can imagine the President is very busy. May I get Minister Keret for you?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: You're on, Lieutenant. Tracking Gryphon's progress is up to you now.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
*Bridge*: Gryphon to Bridge, all systems are a go request permission to disembark.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Buckles in tightly, mumbling something about being away from Klingons:: OPS: All set.

Host Tim says:
@<Morngu OPS>COM: Dublin: President Tasl is as well as can be expected. First Minister Keret has been summoned.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
*OPS*: Granted, Mr. Quinn. Be careful out there, and keep an open comm line to us at all times. Understood?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Begins to work on the sensor array to utilize full systems for the analyzation of the scans.::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
*XO*: Understood sir, comm is open.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::places her hands on her hips, frustrated and then worried::  XO:  We tried.  I am wondering why the President will not come.  It is not protocol.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
:: reads the last checklist of work done to the main deflector dish and nods in a approval, then runs a diagnostic on a secondary system.:: EO Pires: Mister Pires, make sure those redundant ionic matrixes are set in place, not pretty but they should increase our resistance threshold by 3.5%.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Pass along our suggestion that they consider transferring their government staff and operations to us, ASAP.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins checking security systems::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  I will.  But I think they will not agree.  ::says quietly::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: And add that we are prepared to take on up to 500 civilians in all before the day is out.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::satisfied with the work moves toward the armory to see if the metaphasic shields are being installed on the torpedoes::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  I was going to suggest that also, in case... ::leaves it unsaid and waits::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Standard precautions. The Morngu seem to be a remarkably orderly species. No heavy arms on the men, I don't want to scare our passengers.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  I recommend launching a few sensor probes to assure we are gathering all possible data, Sir.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE SHUTTLE BAY DOORS OPEN AND THE SHUTTLE GRYPHON HAVING RECEIVED DEPARTURE INSTRUCTIONS LEAVES THE DUBLIN

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#::drums his fingers in anticipation:: OPS: So....I'm guessing this isn't your first away mission; is for me...

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
:: receives a message on his PADD stating that the stocks of some parts are running low and orders to replicate another load of them::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: See if you can establish a satellite uplink network around the planet to help in the Gryphon's science scans.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
COM: Keret:  First, we would like to make you aware that we are standing by to take on five hundred evacuees to this ship.  Second, we still want to speak to your President.  We need that assurance to see him in person.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Now Doctor, I am sure that you were briefed about the mission but to summarize the operation, what I need for you to do is watch the geologic data... a little different diagnosing a dying world but I am sure you're up to the task.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::issues orders to SO`s::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::feels a bad hitch on the right cheek and scratches it while in the turbolift as no one can see him::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::decides to finally allow himself to sit down, feeling quite weary with the secrecy of the Morngu President::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#::Watches as the shuttle clears the shuttle bay and plots his course, first stop, North Polar region.::

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: Our scientists are ready to monitor but we are still reviewing your data. Our council is not assured that this action won't prematurely destroy our planet.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::wonders if the president really does exist::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::arrives at the armory and for a moment is amazed by the organized chaos going around there::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Aye, I've been on a couple away missions, you'll do fine.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::whispers:: CNS: Mute the comm.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::takes a deep breath and glances at Kizlev:: COM: Keret:  Our data shows otherwise.  But as a compromise could we slowly start the operation little by little and see if there are repercussions?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#:: Sets up a relay channel between the Gryphon, probes and the Dublin::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::takes his tricorder and starts scanning one of the finished torpedoes to see if there are any micro fractures and all the equipment is connected correctly:: Self: I need to set up a quality control here before we start. Why can't we clone more engineers?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Bring the sensors on line. We'll be taking detailed scan of the planet while flying low.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: Status of the Gryphon?

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: And how does one compromise a slow destruction of one’s planet?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins reviewing the status of the evacuation fleet and updates the numbers of refugees::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#*Dublin*: We are about to start our decent into the planets atmosphere.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Reviews the network uplink.:: XO:  Data looks good so far, Commander.  I do not see anything wrong with the existing data.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  At least nothing that contradicts the data that we had previously gathered.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::finishes is tour and takes the nearest Turbo lift to deck 1::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
COM: Keret:  It is a slow procedure.  One torpedo would do no damage... could you please wait.  ::moves over to mute the comm::  XO:  Yes?

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Yes sir. Let's see...::fiddles with the console::...We're now over the north polar region. Geothermal temperature has increased by 25% since last known scan, indications of boiling ice. Tectonic plates have moved by 5 feet in all directions....

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  The shuttle is beginning their descent.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Are we close enough for you to focus in on Keret's mind? I need to know if he's being honest with us, or is attempting deception.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::finishes scratching just as the TL doors open and enters the bridge::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Planet's got one hell of a fever... I'm going to get us lower.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Eyes light up and feels a bit relieved now that Gael is back on the bridge, thinking a second set of eyes would not hurt.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: When you performed those additional simulations of the modified torpedoes, how much more improved did you say the odds of success were?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: I'm going to set a spiraling course of the planet until we reach the southern pole.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  I am.  Though it is giving me a headache.  ::continues to look at Kizlev but 'concentrates'::  Hmmm, he does seem sincere.  The President would be terribly busy, but still....

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Commander, the shuttle should be aware there may be pockets of atmospheric gases that may cause some unexpected turbulence.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::smiles and winks at Tayla on her way to his console and starts uploading some data into the main system::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::waits before resuming the conversation with Keret::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Very well. How many major cities will we be going over?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#:: Begin downloading the Morngu databases from their higher education institutions.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: What's going on mo chroi?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Smiles at the CEO as he passes.::  XO:  I've run the tests over and over again, Sir.  I have come up with the same conclusion each time I've run the tests.  77.78% accuracy.  No better, no worse.  Federation Science Counsel is wrong.  I'm not sure what data they are using, but they do not have all the facts.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::finishes final security preparations::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: We will have scanned the entire planet according to my planned trajectory.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  The Gryphon was launched to gather some additional scans of the planet.  I've launched a few probes to establish a satellite uplink network, and we are just verifying data at this point.  All sensor data appears to match our previous scans, although I'm not sure how much longer this planet will survive without intervention.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  In fact, the longer we wait, the less likely it will be to work I believe.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Hmm...is the President merely shy...? Or a xenophobe? CSO: I see... ::looks up at Delgado:: CEO: I am feeling positive about the torpedoes, regardless of the odds...

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: ::Looks down at a PADD in his hand:: President Tasl has granted approval of your drilling project... on a limited basis.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Okay. Scans indicate that the tectonic plates are becoming more unstable, as though the plates don't know where to move.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: I agree so much it worries me. Then why are we stalling?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  To be honest, Sir, my theory gives them a 77.78 % success rate.  Theirs gives them none.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: That is not good.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::overhears the XO`s and CEO`s conversation:: XO: Shall I ready the torpedo launchers just in case?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  I believe the answer to that question lies with something that they are hiding about this planet, but I can not be certain.  I mean, why would they not want to proceed with our plan, knowing that waiting will surely cause the planet's destruction?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: I would not do that… it can be read from the planet. Would make our relations even worse.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::smiles approvingly at Keret after she unmuted the comm:: COM: Keret: Thank you.  Are you ready for to also send 500 evacuees?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#*CSO*: Our scans are indicating that the tectonic plates are rapidly destabilizing, as if confused as to where they should go next.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::smiles, glad to finally get somewhere with Keret::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Very well sir.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: I have this sneaking suspicion that they maybe want this planet blown up.

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: You may take them from the mustering points the other vessels have used.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: What are they hiding?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
*OPS*:  That is only a small part of the issue this planet will face if they do not agree to let us help them, I'm afraid.  Thank you and I'm picking up the data on scans.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins reviewing the Morngu military database, discretely::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Keret: And your central government? Are you all prepared to temporarily move to our ship?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  I believe you may have something there.  What if they're trying to hide something?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
COM: Keret:  We will instruct our people to do so.  I must try again to ask that we have an audience with the President.  And we give you and your President an invitation to come aboard this vessel.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Indeed. The planet is also pulsating with electromagnetic energy. I think the thick gases are what preventing them from reaching us.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#:: Watches stretches of land engulfed in wildfires and lakes coming to boil::

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: Be advised that all our top officials will be staying behind until the last minute.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  I'm going to run through these scans again to determine if I have missed anything.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
:: Routing available power from the warp drive to sensors hoping to improve surface penetration::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: I have no idea....but what if the CTO is right and they want a good deep ethnic cleansing?

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: I will ask President Tasl to find time to speak with you.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Thick gasses?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Chuckles to herself.::   CEO:  Well if they don't allow us to assist, they're about to get the eternal cleansing if you know what I mean.  ::Snorts.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::closes the database, lost deep in thought::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::overhears Delgado's conversation:: CEO: Let's cancel that thought right there, Commander. We need to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::stands taller and smiles:: COM: Keret:  We appreciate that!  Let us know when he will be available.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Commander, the longer we wait, the longer the planet goes into distress, and the odds of success decrease with each passing moment.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Yes. The nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere is becoming overrun with sulfuric gases, which contain high concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Keret: Yes, thank you Minister. Dublin out.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::nods:: XO: It would be much easier if they truly did something to save the planet and not 0.5% of their population. I am glad I am not having to deal directly with them Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
Out loud:  Isn't there like some kind of humanitarian rule out there that overrides their decisions?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: And that is keeping us out of the magnetic disturbances correct?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: Yes, I know...we have permission to begin on a limited basis. What's the best approach for that?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::goes over and shuts the communications off and turns back to Kizlev:: XO:  That went well in the end.  I will begin beaming up 450 people until we see which officials will be coming aboard.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Unfortunately I do not think so… it is their world, if they want to blow it we have no saying in regard.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Apparently so. From what the computer is picking up. The concentration is so strong as to block most of the pulses.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#:: Notices that most of the northern hemisphere has been scanned and we're coming up on the equatorial region::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::notices the slow build up of the Morngu military::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Wow... Is this a recent development? We cleansed the atmosphere, what? Ten days ago, I don't recall magnetic pulses being recorded.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Inform all personnel and cargo-rated transporters to commence beam-up operations at the designated rescue sites.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: We are near the equator correct? Interesting, geothermal temperatures here are not as bad as the pole; perhaps the magnetic forces are pulling the heat towards the poles.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Self: Think positive Gael. ::notices the message saying that the last of the 30 torpedoes has been modified:: CSO/CTO: Your people did a good job. All torpedoes seem ready.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  The torpedoes are equipped with torque. Once underway, we have no means of stopping them. The torpedoes were programmed to proceed to finish. And unfortunately they need to be released at the same time because it is the maximum rotational kinetic energy that will be released into the core that will create the shock wave and generate the force needed to activate the core's mass.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: It is a somewhat a mystery.., perhaps the core is getting worse.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: That's odd. You figure a planet going through a geo-thermal meltdown would be more uniform.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: Chief, I'll need you to monitor the transporter systems until we've gathered 450 of the civilians.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: Thank you Commander, I’ll pass that onto my teams.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Thank you, Gael.  Just doing my job.

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: I've been asked when you plan on beginning the drilling project and where? We want to calibrate our equipment.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Relay this data to the Dublin flagged as priority.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: We are not really sure what started this, but whatever it was, it's devastating.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
XO: Aye Commander, I will monitor from here. I am opening reactor 3 and dedicating all its energy to the transporters. ::calls the appropriate screens::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO/CEO: Could this have been a weapons test that got out of hand?

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Aye sir. ::Sends the information to the CSO's console, with high priority::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: I'm going to try getting even lower to see how deep we can get in to the equatorial areas.

Host Minister_Keret says:
@::Wipes forehead and looks devastatingly tired::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: It could be...but as you can see no time or resources for an investigation.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.  Right away.  ::walks over and sits at operations again to speak with the cargo areas::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: Damn.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  Unknown, but I do believe they may be trying to hide something.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: So it's all or nothing...? Then our hands are tied once again.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Please be careful. We'll be exposed more to the EMPs and I don't want this ship stranded here.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#:: Monitoring for any disturbances,  pilots the craft even lower to the surface.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CIV: All systems are operating and ready to be activated at your mark Lieutenant.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: I realize that. I am monitoring the pulses.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::walks over to the CSO:: CSO: Look at this, I’ve shown a steady build up of their military, I’m wondering if they were mucking around with something that they didn’t fully understand and it has caused this disaster ::shows the CSO data on the military::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Aye, Commander.  I could attempt to modify the probes with a time-delay in drilling, but I am unsure of the effects it will have with the results.  I would not suggest modifying anything at this point, as the results may not be the same.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: Heh. Just making sure, sir.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: I'm setting altitude to be seventy-five hundred feet above the pulse maximum recorded.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::after looking over the Morngu list to beam up she turns around to speak to Kizlev::  XO: Sir? None of the people to beam here are department heads, which I find unusual.  I wonder if they are remaining on the surface to show they are willing to die first?  It is not unusual for a war like species to do so.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Looks at the data the CTO has just shown her.::  CTO:  While we're waiting, perhaps more detailed scans of the area would prove interesting?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: I like the way you think. ::smiles::

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: Dublin, I repeat... What is your project schedule?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::relaxes and waits::

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#:: Crossing over the equator and beginning sweep of southern hemisphere::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::hears both the CSO and CTO:: CTO: It sounds like a promising lead. Carry out the scans.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  I can utilize the satellite uplink to increase aerial scans.  ::Initiates the uplink.::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#::sighs deeply as he begins the scans on the southern hemisphere::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::heads over to the replicator:: Computer: 2 Raktajino`s extra sweet

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::picks up the mugs and heads over to the XO, offering him the hot mug:: XO: Commander.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Keret: We have no tentative schedule yet. For our torpedoes to work, it must be done completely, or not at all.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Is there something wrong doctor?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::overhears the CSO::  CSO: I have not felt anything but anxiousness and fear from the Morngu, if that helps.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE 9 ROMULAN AND 10 KLINGON VESSELS THAT REPORTED READY TO LEAVE GOT TIRE OF WAITING AND TURNED, ENGAGE IMPULSE AND PULLED OUT OF THE SYSTEM.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
Out loud to XO:  And preferably soon.  The longer we wait, the less likely we will have the same effect.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  Well I don't know about you, but I would definitely be anxious and fearful knowing what I know about what will happen to this planet without intervention.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
XO: I concur 100% with Lieutenant Daniels Sir. The sooner the better.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO/CEO: So noted.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: These scans are just making me a little nervous....Such destructive force.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks at the mug, and frowns:: CTO: I'm afraid not this time, Lieutenant. Someone else here may be thirstier than I.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir. ::heads back to tactical sipping the coffee::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
COM: Keret:  We will not be able to do our project since we must do it completely or not at all I believe.  But please reconsider.

Host Minister_Keret says:
@:: Eyes open wide in concern:: COM: Dublin: I see. I will inform the President and our science council. Keret out.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  I'm detecting the Romulan and Klingon vessels have left the system, Sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::Sits down and begin to make a detailed tactical scan of the planet looking for possible weapons signatures::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: Ms. Jakiel, did you feel like they were hiding something or there is something they do not want us to know?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: I hear you doctor... we should be safe here. I am looking forward to getting back to the Dublin myself. There is however the issue of recording this planet's history and geology for posterity.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks at Kizlev and blinks, surprised after having said exactly what he did in unison and goes back to speaking with the cargo people::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins refining the scans::

Host Minister_Keret says:
@:: A haggard looking Keret reappears:: COM: Dublin: President Tasl feels we must fully trust your expertise and grants permission for whatever is necessary for the drilling.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::ignored for the second time shrugs and thinks right now is not the moment to remember the counselor that once a superior officer addresses her she should answer him::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#::sighs again:: OPS: Aye sir. The geothermal temperature seems to be rising the closer we get to the magnetic pole.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::groans inside at what Keret has said, not feeling the project is wise::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Makes note of the remaining 9 Romulan and 7 Klingon vessels still receiving Mornguans.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::his eyes widen just a little in surprise, then levels his expression as he exchanges glances with the CEO and CSO:: COM: Keret: I understand. Does President Tasl wish to evacuate before we commence?

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#::Notices that the data download from the educational institutions has dwindled to a crawl and begins download of public and government channels ::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Self: I am so glad to be proven wrong on this. Finally!

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Eyes perk up.::  To self:  Finally.  I hope their procrastinations do not become the death of them.

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: President Tasl will remain with his senor advisors for now.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: That is quite odd. We're near done here, have anywhere in particular we should focus a lst sweep on?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Keret: Very well then. We will inform you the instant we begin. Best fortunes to all of us.

Host Minister_Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: I will so inform the President. Keret out.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
#OPS: I'm good, unless there is somewhere the Dublin wants us too

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#CMO: Alright... let's ask. ::Smirks::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: Inform Mister Quinn...time to recall the Gryphon. We will begin the launch in one hour.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#*Dublin*: Gryphon reporting, sensor sweep complete.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Aye, Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
*OPS*: Time for recall, Lieutenant.  We will be launching the torpedoes in one hour.  Commander Kizlev would like you to return to the Dublin, please.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#*CSO*: Aye aye. Gryphon is on approach vector.

OPS_LtJg_Quinn says:
#:: Lays in the course corrections::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  There are still nine Romulan and seven Klingon vessels loading.  Are you sure it is wise to start the project?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: We will allow them to complete their load first...then we'll proceed.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO: Yes, Sir.
