Host Tim says:
The Dublin has traveled an additional 6.5 days at warp 9.6 much to the angst of the Chief Engineering Office.

Host Tim says:
At the current 12 hours from Erya II sensors have detected faint Cormanii ion trails which are at least a week old.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::in his ready room, sitting at his desk, awaiting the CTO to show up::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::stands and straightens his jacket and sash. Looks around the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::arrives on the bridge as ordered, finds the central chair empty and sits there:: ALL: If no one objects apparently I am in charge for a few minutes.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::feels as if she is going on high alert, adrenalin coursing through her as she sees the sensor readings:: *Dr T'Pal*:  Do you have the radiation inoculations ready in case they are needed?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: The bridge is yours Chief.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: Good Chief, anything I should be aware of?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: No Chief.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: ::can't help grinning:: Then Chief good luck.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles back:: CEO: Thank you Chief.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
:: Heads for the ready room his pace deliberate and measured::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: Is not a problem Chief. ::refrains from laughing::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::enters the ready room and sees the Captain behind his desk. Snaps to attention in front of the Captain and snaps of a crisp salute: CO: Lieutenant Wolf reporting as ordered sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
:remains at Attention::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::tries to show some decorum:: CNS: Ms. Jakiel do you think you could update me on the overall situation while I sit here? I have been kinda busy lately.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::does not return the salute in any way, simply glaring unemotionally at Wolf, not offering him a seat:: CTO: Your timely arrival is appreciated, Lieutenant. Hold for a moment... *CNS*: Counselor, report to the ready room.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods and walks over next to Gael::  CEO: We seem to have crossed some faint Cormanii trails.  Fortunately, they are over a week old...  ::hears her com go off and Kizlev's voice, so she listens::  I am sorry, if you would excuse me?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::raises his hands to show his being powerless:: CNS: Be my guest, did you bring your portable testosterone shield? I am sure that room is full of it at toxic levels by now.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::stands from his chair, and stalks slowly around to stand next to Wolf's right side, sizing him up, then turns and silently walks over to the view port::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::remains rigidly at attention::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::heads to the ready room and enters to a tense situation::  CO:  Sir.  ::glances at Wolf and nods, lingers on his face for a moment then turns back to Kizlev::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::eyes dead ahead not flinching::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks out the view port:: CNS: Is it true? Did Wolf wrong you, Rhianna?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::ignored as usual by his peers gives a short shrug and then turns his attention to the sensors::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::tilts her head a little, thinking::  CO:  He took liberties with my person...in a...profoundly personal way.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  I believe he might have been trying to distract me from questioning further.   A weak tactic.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::his antennae stiffen up at the confirmation of it, then turns to look at Wolf:: CNS: Justice is yours to determine, as I see it. I can punish him...confine him to quarters, make him think over his mistake in the brig, or...we can question him as a potential suspect for the spy we're looking for. What say you?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Exits stellar cartography and makes her way to a turbolift ordering it to the bridge.::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Exits the turbolift and makes her way to her station relieving the Duty SO, beginning sensor scans.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::focuses his readings on the Cormanii ion trails and enters a subroutine to find their headings::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::smiles, thinking her Andorian is almost Betazoid reading her mind::  CO: I have considered the possibility that he could be a spy.  We both have experience with that....unfortunately.  I think it would be wise to find out more...especially since he seems so reluctant.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Gives a wink to the CEO, and begins to pull up the data.::  CEO:  I'm picking up Cormanii ion trails, about a week old.  Sensors are showing the Kantrell vessel capabilities at Warp 3.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  We are presently 2.8 light years from Erya II.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Tayla, can we identify where those trails go? Welcome on the bridge by the way. ::smiles::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::walks over to Wolf's side again:: CTO: Andorians are not known for their charity, but the counselor is. However, I am a fair individual. So face me, and speak in your defense. Explain what you did, and why.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Checking ....

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
*Nechayev*: Ambassador, would you join us on the bridge please? We are approaching Erya II and we may need your help to talk to the Kantrells.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Well this is odd ...  I've traced the ion trails at about 5 light years from the other side of Erya II.  They are leaving, but the ion trails end abruptly.  I can only surmise they kept on the same track.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  No way to tell for sure, unfortunately.

Host Tim says:
<Computer>CEO: There is no Nechayev aboard the Dublin at this time.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  If I may?  The word 'dreadnaught' was used as a code.  It is a battleship.  I would assume it might have relevance, that particular word?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Computer: Reroute same message to Ambassador Nuyev. ::slaps his forehead::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks the Captain in the eye:: CO: My loyalty was being called into question. I have never been anything than loyal to the Federation or my crewmates. I did what i did because i was unwilling to answer the counselor’s questions. I have never been anything but loyal to you my Captain.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: I swore an oath to protect the Federation. I will do my utmost to fulfill that oath. I will also do whatever is necessary to protect my shipmates and my Captain.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Crew members do not normally send out messages secretly.  You are being coy.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Chuckles at Gael slapping himself across the forehead.::  Whispers to CEO:  You know, you're so cute when you do that.  ::Grins.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: And counselors are not usually spies.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
*CEO*: I will be on the bridge shortly Commander.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: See what I do just to make you happy.  By the way how is the status of the planet?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: What does 'dreadnaught' refer to, then, if you claim you are so loyal?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
*Nuyev*: Fantastic Ambassador, I will see you here.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: It is a code word to be used only in the most extraordinary times of danger to the Federation.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Enters the turbolift muttering about being called away from his work:: TL: Bridge.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  You sure keep me going.  ::Smiles.::  And pulling scans of the planet up.  ::Begins looking over the sensor data.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: I trained hard for that. So the Cormanii are lost?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  It would appear so.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Why would Captain HyQiin's report to headquarters also require a mere chief tactical officer to send a further report unknown to him?  I was asking myself this.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Scans show a small M-Class planet, nothing out of the ordinary.  Several colonies of Kantrell inhabit the planet.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CNS: And why would a mere counselor concern herself with security matters?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::thinks Wolf is sounding like an undercover Intelligence agent whose cover is being blown:: CTO: Oh? In the tactical business, you'd use such words only if you're dealing with capital ships and the like. Who was the recipient, Wolf? Why did you not report this to me?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Hiding somewhere? What could be the reason we lost their trails?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: You know who the message was sent to, and you also know why I sent it.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::stays quiet while Kizlev asks and listens carefully::  CTO: Yes, that was tracked.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CNS: Interesting that a mere counselor should involve herself in matters of security?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CNS: When one is paranoid and looking for spies one usually finds an excuse to see one.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Lieutenant, you are speaking to me, not her. Either you tell me what the code was about, or I have you under incarceration for the duration of this mission. So...will you be a professional, or a miscreant, Lieutenant?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Especially when a crew member makes an action behind his captain's back and then kisses another crew member.  Nothing unusual there, would you say, Mister Wolf?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  It would appear that the lost ion trails was deliberate.  My guess is they do not want us to know where they went off to.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::bites her tongue, wanting to say far more to the impertinent Klingon::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Also, the colonies on the M-Class planet were formed when Lyat IV, their home world, thought it was going to have a cataclysmic ecological disaster.  ::Pauses.::  Sounds like Morngu all over again,  huh?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Well I guess that gives us something to look into. Nothing says 'clue to follow' like a missing ion trail.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: I told you Captain it is a code word to be used in only the direst times of emergency to the federation. I believe the destruction of Earth warranted that do you not?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Chuckles.::  CEO:  I sure wish it were easy to trace.  But I'll keep looking.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: I guess our Karma is dealing with huge environmental disasters, we should change our mission from diplomacy to go fast and clean waste.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Have torpedoes, will travel?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Yep but next time we do the job ourselves.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Agreed on that one.  Don't send a boy to do a man's job?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::glances at Rhianna, then eyes Wolf a little more carefully:: CTO: Consider this meeting a warning. Keep your head on straight, or consider resigning from the fleet. Failure to respect your fellow officers is no better than a dereliction of duty, so far as I am concerned. Is that understood, or shall I repeat that to you through a brig force field?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Ayup....

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: No sir.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: 'No sir' you don't understand, or 'no sir' you want to return to duty?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: No sir I shall resume my duties with your permission.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Then cease wasting my time and get to them, mister.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye Aye Sir. ::salutes and about faces::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::leaves the ready room::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::walks onto the bridge and lets out a large sigh::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::wonders if the Ambassador fell in the turbolift shaft:: CTO: Welcome back Senor Lobo, you may be interested to know we picked Cormanii trails.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Exists turbolift, looks around and walks to the CEO:: CEO: You wanted to see me?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::chuckles and shakes her head::  CO: He is a Klingon.  If he had been on a Klingon ship he would not have walked out alive.  ::shrugs::  He is lucky.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Notices the CTO returning to the bridge.::  CTO:  Welcome back, Lieutenant.  ::Smiles at him.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods at the Chief:: CEO: Thank you Chief.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles at the CSO:: CSO: Thank you.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks around the bridge:: ALL: Well what’s everyone waiting for, get back to work.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  Ion trails ended abruptly on the other side of Erya II, about 5 light years.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head, grinding his teeth tightly:: CNS: I see he carries a chip on his shoulder. Wolf is much like I was when I was a petty officer during the war. Too much patriotism, and not enough attention to the rules. I took one look in his eyes, and saw he was telling the truth.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Ambassador: Yes we are getting close to the Planet, so we will probably be hailed soon. In that case we need your services as translator. So please join us. That chair is very comfortable, there should be a program for vibromassage.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  It appears to be deliberate.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Thank you, now that’s damn interesting.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CTO.::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  I do not trust anyone who goes behind their captain's back.  He should be careful to watch his playing around like that.  By the way, we crossed the Cormanii trail.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Nods and takes seat::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::takes the XO`s seat  ::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Ambassador: Thank you sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins reviewing the latest departmental reports::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::notices the CTO just fell on his lap:: CTO: Uhm Mister Wolf. I guess you should at least buy me dinner before that.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Their ships have a bad habit of dumping large concentrations of plasma gas; very inefficient. Let's get back to work. We'll deal with Wolf if the need arises later.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: Oh sorry Chief.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Focuses her eyes on the data now being retrieved from scans.::  CEO/CTO:  Uh .. I'm getting something on scans.  I'm detecting a temporal component near the location where the ion trails disappeared.  I'm attempting to redirect the sensors to that area for more data.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  I have also put medical on alert just in case we see the Cormanii.  ::walks onto the bridge with Kizlev::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO/CTO:  Data is fading fast.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Can you pinpoint the exact location where they fade? We may have to go there.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods to Rhianna and follows her out onto the bridge:: ALL: Updates?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Pulls up the scans.::  CEO:  I can .. but I will need more data from the sensors.  Attempting to redirect scans to the area.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::says quietly:: CO:  I will also confer with Dr T'Pal about your orders if I may use your ready room for privacy for a moment?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: We’ve detected Cormanii ion trails, they seem to terminate 5 light years the other side of Erya 2.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO/CEO:  And I am receiving an incoming communication from Erya II.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: Take all the energy you need to boost the signal. We need to learn how they travel through space so quickly.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  Aye, redirecting power to scans now.  ::Redirects additional power to scans.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Contact Eyra II, let them know we're entering their sovereign space. We need to arrange a diplomatic audience with their central government.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Head jerks up as he hears Kantrell language::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Ambassador: See we needed you here. 
<Duty_Ops>: On screen.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  The mysterious person in question could also have been very near our vessel, but not on it.   I check the records to see if there were any possibilities of a cloaked ship or shuttle.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Looks at the CTO and then CO:: CO: May I? That way there should be less confusion in case the universal translator makes an error.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
Nuyev: Please do, sir. ::steps aside for the ambassador::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Nuyev: As you wish sir.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: Bridge is yours skipper, ain't you happy I summoned the Ambassador? :;grins and leaves for his station::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::feels a bit nervous having the ambassador handle the communications and translating back to them in an unknown language and is ready to have the translator verify::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Leans over and talks to the chair arm:: COM: Erya II: Mylax foggt prlann.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::paces over to the OPS console, and looks ahead at the view screen::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
COM: Erya II: Keppplx norvert miltok beggo.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Turns to Captain:: CO:  I've asked permission to orbit and then visit.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CEO:  I have the coordinates of where the temporal components are fading.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: You are a devil of a multitasker, can you read the chroniton concentration?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
Nuyev: Thank you. If they say no, I will not press the issue. We can investigate other leads... ::nods towards the CSO, hearing her conversation with the CEO::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Listens to the response and nods:: CO: They've granted it and welcome us. Also want to know the reason for my quick return... has Federation granted their request to join?

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
CO: How should I answer on the Federation question?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CO/CEO:  Checking ... ::Checks scans for the levels.::  It's high .. 540 parts per million.  And planetary scans still show no evidence of anything of doing anything that happened to Earth.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CSO: I may have an idea, but we can work on it together because I hate temporal mechanics.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Nods to him, thinking that's the best idea she's heard of all day.  Grins.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
Nuyev: Tell them I have no answer for them regarding Federation acceptance of them. We're dealing with a more pressing matter of security.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Passes on the Captain's words and asks the Kantrell to stand by for assistance.::
