=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10710.14- "Do Starship computers dream of electric sheep?" Part II =/\=

The USS Elara is receiving a group of Vulcan engineers on tour, the chief engineer is seeing that they get all the information they require.

The first and second officers are busy preparing for the installation of a new science pod while the tactical officer is investigating the Elara's "personality" at the request of the Captain.

While all this happens, an old friend is in the neighbourhood.

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: In the Captains ready room ::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::in his office tapping on a PADD::

ACTION: The Elara is docked inside Starbase 123 and the viewscreen and viewports show the usual crises cross of shuttles. Then suddenly the doors open

ACTION: Outside starry space is visible but is then blocked by the sight of the Sovereign class USS Paris entering the bay. The two ships end up "parked" side by side

Capt Wall says:
@::on bridge of Paris::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::downloads information to a PADD and gives it to the lead scientist:: Sulvok: This should be all the info you need regarding engineering changes.

Capt Wall says:
@::sees Elara on viewscreen::

Dr Sarmok says:
::takes the PADD:: CEO: Thank you. Do you mind giving my colleague Dr Sulvok a tour of the avatar? In the meantime we would like to study these specifications further in order to ask you questions when we are done

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: A Tour of the avatar? She's not a museum

Dr Sarmok says:
CEO: I was using one of your ... allegories. Show him her features

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Looking over the shoulder of the CEO and Dr. Sulvok.::

Dr Sulvok says:
::Nods as he looks at the padd:: CEO: All changes executed by the engineering department? Including requests from other departments?

OPS Miller says:
::notices the USS Paris::

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Shifts her weight nervously from side to side as the turbolift whizzes up its tube::

Capt Wall says:
@Cmdr: Martin, you have the bridge, please oversee the remaining docking procedures, I will check back with you later

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::hovering near the two Doctors:: CIV's: Is this pod going to have an unusual power requirements?

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::stands and heads for the door::

Cmdr says:
@CO: sir?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: Right... What is it you want to see exactly?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sulvok: I believe so

OPS Miller says:
::receives a message from the SB on the pod and taps his combadge:: *OPS*: Miller to Tar. Sir, the Starbase is asking when they are to be installing the pod.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Exits onto the lift and looks around::

Dr Sarmok says:
CEO: I would like to study these diagrams here in your main engineering while you show Dr Sulvok the avatar. When you are done, I will tell you what I think of your ship

OPS Lt Tar says:
::is just walking the corridors after checking out some things prior to installation of the pod and is now heading to the upper decks where the pod is to be installed::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Watches the scenery coming from the wall with idle interest:: XO: Of course... ::Continues 0101 line:: We will need to explain it somehow through.. Got any idea? ::Moves his attention to the XO's direction::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Looks up from her PADD:: XO: Commander. Nothing too noticeable through.. ::Pauses to consider, moving his attention to the XO as well::

Capt Wall says:
@Cmdr: The Elara is my old command, just will visit, you know what is happing onboard I trust you to take care the rest of the docking procedures

OPS Lt Tar says:
::taps his badge:: *Miller*: Tar here. Inform the Starbase they can start with the installation. All systems are checked and ready.

Cmdr says:
@CO: aye sir

OPS Miller says:
*OPS*: Aye Sir, Miller out.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Computer: Locate Captain Timrok.

ACTION: The rest of the Vulcan engineers make copies of the PADD provided by JoBrel and start reading them and discussing in whispers

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: places one last PADD on the ready room table and stretches in his chair ::

Dr Sulvok says:
::Nods, satisfied with the CEO's answer.. For now::

Computer says:
CTO: Captain Timrok is in his ready room

OPS Lt Tar says:
::taps his badge twice:: *XO*: Tar to Pazoski. Sir, Starbase Engineers will start with the installation of the pod. All systems are checked and ready for installation.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: With respect, your opinion of this ship is not important to me. Do as you wish. And what exactly do you want to see with the avatar?

Capt Wall says:
@::walks off the bride:: TL: SB docking port

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::enters the lift and orders it to Deck one::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CIV's: That’s a problem we will solve when someone notices.  I'm not going to start the rumors before anyone gets suspicious.

Dr Sarmok says:
CEO: Your superiors do not share your disdain for our abilities. Dr Sulvok wants to analyze her personality routines

Dr Sulvok says:
::Raises his eyebrow at that unexpected response from the CEO:: CEO: Cooperation is our primary means of achieving progress... You should be open to external input in any situation...

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Quietly slinks away to one of the empty science stations and gets on with her work::

OPS Miller says:
::messages the SB to start with the installation of the pod::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::taps his badge:: OPS: Very good Lieutenant, make sure they follow all proper procedures, and double check everything.

OPS Lt Tar says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

TO Ens Boktor says:
CEO: ::Whispers:: I am ready for a next job.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: I'm not sure about that. ::steps away from the Vulcans, gesturing for the TO to join him::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::steps out of the lift on Deck one, walks to the ready room door and knocks on it::

ACTION: Sarmok always smiles when the CEO finally gives in and joins the others in discussing the PADDs::

Capt Wall says:
@*Elara OPS*: This is Captain Wall of the USS Paris, permission to come onboard?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::quietly:: TO: What do you think of all of this?

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: glances out of the viewport - noticing the starship that wasn't there previously. Craning his neck to get a look at its name ::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
XO: That's probably for the best, Commander. We can always.. ::Turns her attention towards her companion::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Sighs, tearing her attention away from her PADD once again:: XO: Improvise when the time comes. ::Gives 1010 a heated look before returning her attention back to her PADD::

CO Capt Timrok says:
Door: Enter

OPS Miller says:
::receives incoming communication:: COM: Captain Wall: This is the USS Elara. If you have a moment sir, I'll inform Captain Timrok.

ACTION: some of the Vulcans turn to the nearest engineering console and start checking a thing or another

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Whisper:: CEO: Well, those pointed ears wants to helps us, but, as I am half of them too, I would say, do not show them everything. They can use it against you at a later point.

Capt Wall says:
@::walks on the SB:: Self: wow its hasn’t changed much::

OPS Miller says:
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Miller to Timrok. Captain Wall of the USS Paris requests permission to come aboard.

Capt Wall says:
@*Elara OPS*: acknowledged

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::walks into the ready room and puts the PADD on the desk:: CO: These are my findings Captain... at this point I see nothing that would constitute a security risk.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::turns back to the Vulcans:: Vulcans: Please refrain from using the consoles without my permission.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CIV's: Obviously you are busy here.  If you don't need me for anything else I have a pile of paperwork to ignore and a tour to check on. ::turns to walk away:: Oh and Doctors, you will be working with our Chief Science Officer, Ensign Lyta.  I'm sure you have some skills that could prove useful.

Capt Wall says:
@::makes his way to the Elara dock door, while he waits he looks around at the SB he knows well::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: JoBrel to Timrok

Dr Sarmok says:
CEO: We were inspecting some readouts you forgot. And it would seem someone is installing a new utility pod. You did not give us the specifications of that

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: Picks up the PADD and looks at it before smiling :: *OPS Miller* Permission granted

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: For P'Jarras sake stay off my consoles! And what?

CO Capt Timrok says:
*CEO* Go ahead

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: Sir just how much information am I to give these Vulcans? They seem to be asking a bit too many questions for my liking

OPS Miller says:
::taps his badge:: COM: Capt Wall: Captain, you've been granted permission to come aboard. I'll send someone to meet with you at the docking port.

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Standing by for action, if needed.::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Watches the retreating XO's retreating form with curiosity:: 0101: 0101: Probably off to watch some holo-TV? ::Answer 0101's question:: Let's go find out? ::Moves to the TL's direction::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Subtly nods in agreement:: 1010: Who's the Chief Science Officer anyway? 

CO Capt Timrok says:
CTO: Thank you for this, good job. No problems I assume then?

Dr Sarmok says:
::eyes the CEO:: CEO: It would seem we should be talking to someone else about the Elara's specifications

Capt Wall says:
@*OPS*: thank you

OPS Miller says:
::sends someone of the OPS department to meet with Capt Wall::

OPS Lt Tar says:
::supervises the pod installation::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: I will answer your questions as I see fit, Mr Sarmok. In the meantime, that does not give you the right to use my consoles

CTO Lt Sollo says:
CO: None at all... I looked over the records and had a word with the avatar and I couldn't find anything that suggests she's likely to be a risk... in essence she was programmed to be an integral part of the ship.

CO Capt Timrok says:
*CEO* As little as you can get away with JoBrel, as little as you can get away with.

OPS Solie says:
::arrives at the Elara's docking hatch waiting for Wall::

Capt Wall says:
@::taking in the activity of the SB outside also thinking about Starfleets debriefing later today, wondering what they will say::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: They seem to be getting frustrated. And Sir, who authorised a Pod installation?

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Outside the view of Dr Sarmok. Nodding NO towards the CEO, as for supporting, the idea  of the CEO.::

Dr Sarmok says:
CEO: you do not trust us?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::scuttles off towards engineering:: *CSO*: Pazoski to Lyta.

Capt Wall says:
@::enters Elara sees Solie::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: I don't let anyone use my consoles without permission, it is rude.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
*XO*: How can I help?

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: nods to Sollo :: CTO: No need to restrict the avatar from going off ship then?

Dr Sulvok says:
::Looks at Sarmok:: Sarmok: Were we not promised full cooperation with our investigation..?

OPS Solie says:
Wall: Captain Wall, welcome back aboard the Elara

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sulvok: Yes, you were not promised unauthorised access to our computer

Sarmok says:
::nods knowingly at his colleague::

CO Capt Timrok says:
*CEO* The POD was Admiral Swans idea

Capt Wall says:
OPS Solie: Thank you, good to see you how have you been, still onboard the Elara?

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Stepping forward, in to the direction of Sarmok and his console, as to show the support to the CEO.::

Sarmok says:
::looks menacingly at the TO::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: With respect Sir, I am the Chief Engineer, why was I not informed?

CTO Lt Sollo says:
CO: I don't think so; the last time she was off the ship she behaved herself so I don't see any reason to restrict her in that matter.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
*CSO*: Ensign, I have assigned two new crewmembers to your department, Doctors 1010 and 0101, you should find they have some skills that you can put to good use.  Make sure they settle in okay.

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Looks back, with a view only a Vulcan understands.:: Sarmok: you heard the CEO.

OPS Solie says:
Wall: Yes, well ... I'm not really me ... long story. I assume you want to talk to Captain Timrok?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
TO: Give him ten seconds. If he's not off that console then get him out of here. I don't care if he's the smartest guy in the quadrant, I will not be disrespected.

Capt Wall says:
OPS Solie: oh ok, yes ::he looks around the entrance, ah the Elara::

CO Capt Timrok says:
*CEO* It's nothing personal; very few of the crew have been informed. Any impact on your department will be detailed to you when appropriate

Dr Sarmok says:
::takes his hands off the console looking at the Starfleet officers:: CEO/TO: Your superiors will know of this outrage

CSO Ens Lyta says:
*XO*: Understood sir.

TO Ens Boktor says:
Sarmok: I must urge you to stand down. Leave the console; else, I will use force, to stop you using the console sir. You have 10 seconds.

OPS Solie says:
Wall: This way sir ::enters the nearest Turbo Lift::

Dr Sulvok says:
::Turns to JoBrel:: CEO: Are you still intent on helping us?

CO Capt Timrok says:
CTO: OK, if you are happy then I am happy

TO Ens Boktor says:
:: Leaves the phaser in its place.::

Capt Wall says:
::follows OPS, even though he knows the way::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: I can understand that Sir, but I shouldn't have been kept out of the loop. Whatever it's for I don't need to know, but the installation is my duty. Sulvok: I have been calm and respectful of your...forward...ways. I ask you to return that respect, that is all.

OPS Solie says:
Computer: Bridge

OPS Lt Tar says:
::looks out of the window from which he can see the pod installation::

Capt Wall says:
OPS Solie: It’s been a little over 3 years since I was on the Elara last

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::nods:: CO: Will there be anything else Captain?

ACTION: The Pod was carefully lowered to the Elara and engineers start working on the moorings. First the hull is connected, then all the internal wiring, one by one

Dr Sulvok says:
CEO: Respect... You step away to discuss things out of our earshot.. And you wish to lecture us about respect... ::Raises his eyebrow even higher::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Nods towards the CEO.:: ::Whispers:: CEO: If you need to contact the Captain or anybody else. I give you spare time. I can keep them away.

CO Capt Timrok says:
*CEO* Admiral Swan has made his own choice on who he wishes to perform the installation, we must simply respect his choice on the matter.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sulvok: Some matters are not for your ears, I bid you to remember your place as a visitor.

Capt Wall says:
OPS Solie: um no ::waits silently::

OPS Solie says:
Wall: Some faces changed but the rest...::stops as the lift opens on the bridge:: Wall: Here we are. The Captain is in the ready room

CO Capt Timrok says:
CTO: No, not for the time being, thank you again.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: I get it. ::grumbles::

Capt Wall says:
OPS Solie: thank you ::steps off on to the bridge::

ACTION: Anyone on the bridge will see a Starfleet Captain entering; most of them won't recognize him

CTO Lt Sollo says:
CO: Aye sir, I'm going to go relieve Boktor in engineering.

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: nods to Sollo ::

OPS Solie says:
::takes the lift to his current assignment::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::strolls into ME, reading a padd he appears to have acquired on route and shaking his head every now and then::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Walks back to the console, and make sure that the Vulcans notice, that the TO has an eye on them.::

Dr Sulvok says:
CEO: We were promised full cooperation.. It does not look like we are getting it.... ::Looks at his colleagues, then back at the CEO::

Dr Sarmok says:
CEO: Ah! Your superior!

Capt Wall says:
::walks to the Ready Room, stand just in front of the door::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::walks out of the ready room and to the lift again, this time ordering it to main engineering::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
XO: Sir.

OPS Miller says:
::notices someone entering the bridge::

Dr Sulvok says:
::Looks over at the commander who has just entered engineering::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::in front of the Vulcans:: XO: Sir, as expected from a Vulcan delegation, they are testing my patience to the limits.

Capt Wall says:
::look around the bridge as he stand in front of the RR, he chimes the bell::

CO Capt Timrok says:
Door: Enter

Dr Sulvok says:
::Turns his attention back to the CEO, his eyebrow once again raised::

Capt Wall says:
::enters RR::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Gives a brief salute to the XO, in the form of a stiff nod.::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
All: Gentlemen ::gives everyone a nod::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::arrives in engineering and makes his way to the CEO:: CEO: Any problems Jo?

CO Capt Timrok says:
Wall: Bernie! welcome :: walks over to shake his hand::

Capt Wall says:
CO: Timrok, good to see you again ::walks up to his desk, shakes his hand::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CEO: I imagine you know how the rest of us feel most of the time then ::manages a brief chuckle:: I'm sure it's nothing that a Starfleet Officer cannot handle though.

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Crosses arms. And raising an eyebrow.::

Dr Sulvok says:
::Glances at the last new arrival, wearing green, wondering whether perhaps he has some more information for them::

CO Capt Timrok says:
Wall: You too. Yours I assume :: points out of the viewport at the USS Paris ::

Dr Sarmok says:
XO: We are here to investigate the performance of the Elara's engineering and tactical systems. Your superiors hoped we could improve your design but we find nothing but lack of appreciation for our effort

CTO Lt Sollo says:
XO: Personally, I still don't understand their obsession with logic and their floccinaucinihilipilification of emotions.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
XO/CTO: Well they are asking too many questions about classified information and also getting easily offended when I have to pause to carry out my duties.

Capt Wall says:
CO: Yes, I was assigned to her after leaving the Elara

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CTO: Flocci-knockky whatjama-call-it-now?

OPS Miller says:
::notices something unusual as the console beeps. as being the ranking officer on the bridge now he taps his badge:: *Engineering*: Bridge to Engineering, internal sensors detect energy spikes originating from the warp core. Can you tell me what is causing it?

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Laughs about the CEO's reaction on Sollo's word.::

Capt Wall says:
CO: but it’s good to be back on the Elara agin she looks good

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::silently counts to 5:: CTO: You don't need to understand anyone else’s "obsessions" as you call them, but you will respect them.

CO Capt Timrok says:
Wall: She ages well, which is more than can be said for me :: laughs :: Can I get you something to drink?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
Sarmok: I am sure my Chief of Engineering here just has his orders confused; we will of course answer any question we can that does not compromise the security of this vessel.  I am sure you can appreciate and understand our position on that point.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
XO: I didn't say I didn't respect them, it just confuses me... I find that a little emotion gives you an edge in a fight.

TO Ens Boktor says:
CEO/XO: I know the Vulcan language very well. I could keep an eye on what they type, and an ear on what they say. Maybe that is a way to get out of the impasse?

Capt Wall says:
CO: yes a raktajin, thank you

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: I'm afraid any further questions regarding the Elara avatar cannot be answered with your security clearance. I can no longer help you with this issue. If you have further questions regarding the ship, I'll try my best to answer.

CSO Ens Lyta says:
*OPS Miller*: Getting anomalous power readings from the pod.

Dr Sulvok says:
::Turns directly to the XO:: XO: Commander... We were promised full cooperation, however apart from a padd with half complete information, we have not received anything of the sort..

Dr Sarmok says:
::nods vigorously to the XO and then looks at the CEO::

Capt Wall says:
CO: No, you’re looking good Timrok, it’s hard to believe it’s been a little over 3 years

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sulvok: What information, exactly, do you want?

Dr Sarmok says:
CEO: The Avatar is one of the reasons we chose this ship and not another. Without her you are quite .... plain

Dr Sulvok says:
::Ignores the CEO, waiting for an answer from the XO::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Walks to a console and starts to program a bit. Walks a few minutes later over to the CEO.::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CEO: I will assign any duties you have ongoing to your junior officers; your primary concern is answering these people’s questions.

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: Steps over to the replicator and orders Wall his drink :: Wall: I know, it feels like only yesterday.. Where does the time go?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: Well, that's Starfleet protocol. I'm afraid if we're so plain then I suggest you leave. ::politely speaking::

OPS Miller says:
::taps his badge:: *CSO*: Miller here, checking them now. ::runs a scan on the pod::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
TO: These gentlemen are not suspects, I am sure they would not mind you checking any information they may wish to take with them ::looks questioningly at the Vulcans::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
XO: I have tried to play them but their questions border on classified information.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: You'll be happy to hear I've given Elara a clean bill of health.

Dr Sarmok says:
::gets up and approaches the XO:: XO: Your people are disrespecting me. This will not go unspoken

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Whispers:: CEO: I have created a secured area on the computer. They have full access in that area, but will not get to see things; they do not need to see. Maybe you can use that.

Dr Sulvok says:
::Looks at the CEO again:: CEO: On whose authority are you now denying us this access? When we came aboard, you were quite happy to show us your avatar... Something happened in the mean time.. ::Turns to the XO:: XO: And we would like to know what that is..

Capt Wall says:
CO: So how have you like command of the Elara, how have things gone?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::manages a small smile in the situation:: CTO: Thanks.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sulvok: I never once said I was happy to show you the Avatar. In fact I had no idea that's what you came here for.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sulvok: And if you want to "see" the avatar, she looks none other than an Orion Slave Girl

CTO Lt Sollo says:
CEO: Though you might want to think about a change of clothes for her... just to stop her becoming a distraction to the crew. ::grins::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CTO: Hey, hey... eyes off

Dr Sulvok says:
CEO: We announced that on our first meeting.. My colleague, upon introducing me, also informed you I was here to specifically look into your avatar... ::Shakes head:: I find it disturbing that you forget so easily..

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
Sulvok: I am sure you can appreciate that the Elara avatar is an extremely advanced and classified subject, I am afraid only very limited access is allowed to her.

OPS Miller says:
::gets reading from the pod which aren't expected to be normal:: *OPS*: Miller to Tar, sir, sensors report anomalous power readings from the pod.

ACTION: All through the ship, a slight bump can be felt, nothing much. Like the Elara was just pushed a bit forward

Capt Wall says:
::feels the ship move::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Aloud: Oh joy of joys, something else to brighten this day up, a spanking new pod.

Dr Sulvok says:
::Turns to the XO:: XO: We were promised full cooperation... ::Looks at Sarmok, questioningly::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Walks back to the console.::

ACTION: Emergency communications start to pour in from the Starbase engineering personnel as dozens are thrown off their positions when the Elara starts moving on thrusters to the still-open Starbase doors

CTO Lt Sollo says:
XO: Um Commander, can I have a word please?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
XO: Sir, if I may have a word..

OPS Lt Tar says:
::feels a bump:: Self: What the...? ::taps badge as he already got an incoming com:: *Miller*: Tar here, what was that bump?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::looks at the CTO as they speak in unison::

Capt Wall says:
CO: The Elara is moving!

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: hands Wall's Raktajin to him :: Wall: It's been pretty mad at times, but I have a good crew - they manage to keep me out of trouble most of the time. And they will follow me through the gates of hell if need be :: looks around slightly confused as he feels the movement ::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
XO: Give me a second. ::checks the console for a report::

Capt Wall says:
::thinks while we are in the SB::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Checks the computer if the secured area is active. Nods towards the CEO.::

CO Capt Timrok says:
Wall: One moment :: Steps out onto the bridge ::

ACTION: All through the docking bay shuttles try to attach tractor beams to the Elara but to no result

OPS Miller says:
::gets quite busy as he also receives a SB message:: COM:SB: This is the USS Elara. As far as I know, we aren't departing.

OPS Miller says:
*OPS*: The moorings got lose, we're moving out of the starbase, sir.

Capt Wall says:
::follows Timroks out to the bridge::

CO Capt Timrok says:
OPS Miller: Where are we going?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
Sulvok: If you could give me a moment with my officers to find out what has been going on here ::nods politely::

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Checking the console, for info about the shock that went through the Elara.::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*Bridge*: Engineering to bridge!

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CTO: What is it Mr Sollo?

OPS Miller says:
::to CO without looking up:: CO: It appears we're moving out of the starbase Sir.

ACTION: Eventually the Elara leaves Starbase 123 into open space and engages impulse engines. Other vessels get ready to pursue but none was prepared

TO Ens Boktor says:
XO: We are moving sir. I read that the Elara is moving.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::rushes towards the bridge:: *Miller*: I'm on my way to the bridge.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*Bridge*: Engineering to bridge! ::more frustrated::

Capt Wall says:
Self: what the devil!

Dr Sulvok says:
::Looking at Sarmok:: Sarmok: I believe we are wasting our time here...

CSO Ens Lyta says:
::Continues to monitor power levels::

OPS Miller says:
*CEO*: Miller here.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
TO: Moving? Why are we moving?

CO Capt Timrok says:
:: Looks across at Flight Control :: OPS Miller: On whose orders?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*OPS Miller*: What's going on?!

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::feels the movement:: TO: Kindly escort our guests to the lounge and make them comfortable, ::turns to the XO:: XO: I think we should walk and talk, the Captain'll want us on the bridge.

TO Ens Boktor says:
XO: I read we are moving out of the starbase sir.

OPS Miller says:
CO: There was no order sir.

Dr Sarmok says:
::nods to his colleague:: Sulvok: Truly useless

TO Ens Boktor says:
CTO: Yes sir.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::sees a potential danger to the POD and shuts down all power to impulse::

OPS Miller says:
*CEO*: We don't know. The only thing we know is we're moving.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::rushes into a TL:: Computer: Bridge!

Dr Sulvok says:
::Raises his eyebrow as everyone around them seems to panic, and steps closer to his colleagues:: Vulcans: If this is their usual response to something unexpected, this must be a very chaotic crew...

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Looking towards Dr Sarmak and Sulvok.:: Sarmok/Sulvok: If you gentlemen would like to follow me to the lounge?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*OPS Miller*: And this is why your department should run any adjustments through my console!

ACTION: The Elara goes to warp just as the Starbase is ready to shoot at its engines

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::tries to bypass an encryption and instead drop power to the whole of the deck::

Cmdr Paris says:
@::sees that has left the SB with Captain Wall onboard::

OPS Lt Tar says:
*CEO*: If you've got problems with the OPS department ... ::stops:: CO: Sir, we're at warp!

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CTO: Talk here Lieutenant ::feels the jump to warp:: Quickly.

CO Capt Timrok says:
*CEO* Shut off power to all propulsion systems

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Computer: shut down all weapons systems and lock out control to them except from me directly, authorisation Sollo Theta one one six.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: Sir, someone has taken over our engine control... I can't shut down power. I want to eject the core!

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Walks out of the room and looks back of the two Vulcans are following him.::

ACTION: The CEO is able to drop power to all the engineering consoles but still the warp drive keeps glowing. Someone managed to block it off from the rest of the ship

OPS Lt Tar says:
::arrives at the bridge and takes the OPS station:: Miller: Just stay here and help.

CO Capt Timrok says:
Wall: I hope you didn't have any important appointments on the Starbase

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::raises power back to the consoles::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CEO: Chief, find a way to shut down the warp core, eject it if you have to, just get us stopped.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::remembers the last time he heard of a ship getting taken over like this was by the Bynars and wonders if it’s the new guests as he starts the process of a warp core ejection::

OPS Lt Tar says:
::quickly runs diagnostics on the command pathways and instates red alert::

Capt Wall says:
CO: well I have a debriefing with Starfleet later today, but perhaps something else has changed my schedule

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Hands going towards the faster.:: Sarmok/Sulvok: GENTLEMEN, SHALL WE?

Computer says:
CTO: All tactical systems except for one were disabled. Shields are still in place

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
XO: Damn it, these encryption codes... I'm going to have to convince the computer a warp core breach is in process and then it'll eject it by itself! ::gets working on that::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CTO: Lieutenant, find out if something has compromised our computer system.

CO Capt Timrok says:
OPS: Correlate with the navigation system, find out where we’re headed

Dr Sulvok says:
::Looks up as he hears the TO, then nods slowly, knowing resisting now would be futile. They would have more efficient means to combat their resistance::

OPS Miller says:
::takes the conn::

OPS Lt Tar says:
::nods to the CO::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Computer: Given that, I only asked for the weapons to be deactivated that'll do fine. I need a list of the last 20 people to access the flight control systems and what they did to it.

Capt Wall says:
*Paris*: ::taps badge:: Cmdr, the Elara is not in control by their crew, I am alright we will figure out what is going on

ACTION: The Elara enters the nearest nebula, and eventually comes to a stop

OPS Lt Tar says:
::eyes wide:: CO: Sir! It appears the command pathways are blocked from within the ship, like a virus.

OPS Miller says:
CO: Sir, we've come to a full stop.

TO Ens Boktor says:
Sarmok/Sulvok:   tlha' jIH gentleman.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
::moves to a console to await the information he asked for:: Self: Damn!

CO Capt Timrok says:
CSO: What Nebula is this?

Sarmok says:
CEO: I demand you return us to the Starbase

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Computer: give me a record of all changes made to the propulsion systems and who they were made by.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::sees they came to a stop:: XO: I have no control over any electronics. We're shut out. This day just keeps on getting worse.

OPS Lt Tar says:
::tries to restore the command pathways::

Dr Sulvok says:
::Follows the TO, wondering where they are taken and whether they can use some computers there to work with the limited information they have::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Sarmok: Shut IT! Don't you think I'm trying you arrogant man! ::really getting frustrated::

CTO Lt Sollo says:
XO: The good news is, I got to the weapons before anyone else did and they're now locked down.

TO Ens Boktor says:
:: Walking towards the TL: Sarmok: I was ordered to bring you to the lounge. That is what I will do. I obey my commander, but I make sure nobody hurts you as well.

Computer says:
CTO: The last recorded change was made by Lt Yellow12 hours ago

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CTO: Yes I know about that, it should check out fine.

TO Ens Boktor says:
::Entering TL:: TL: Lounge deck.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
::leans up against the hand rail surrounding the warp core and rubs his stubble slowly:: CEO: Get a team of engineers up to the computer core - tell them to shut it down, we will switch everything back to manual control.

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Computer: And what change was made?

Sarmok says:
TO: We will follow you but we demand to be taken

TO Ens Boktor says:
Sarmok/Sulvok: What if you cannot leave the ship?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
XO: Right. I'll lead the team myself. I'll need help from OPS.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says:
CTO: I have a feeling that whoever did this is after more than the ship.

Computer says:
CTO: Impulsion efficiency was upgraded by 1%

Capt Wall says:
CO: anything you want help with?

CTO Lt Sollo says:
Computer: how was the order to move the ship initiated and by who?

CO Capt Timrok says:
Wall: If you can get in contact with the Paris, have them come after us.

Capt Wall says:
CO: no response from the Paris, I don't know if my first officer heard my communication

ACTION: The Elara rests peacefully, drifting to whereabouts unknown on the White Sheep Nebula. Meanwhile, vessels from Starbase 123, including the Paris look for her...
