::managing the sensors on the bridge::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@CTO: Lt. Nimitz.  If you'd like to conduct the test, you have the use of a shuttlecraft, Ensign Adel and a half hour.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::hears some music playing somewhere ... is that Jazz? Tries to find it::

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::awaits word from the engineering teams to go to the freighters::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@CSO: Understood, ma'am.

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@::makes her way to the Europa's bridge... she has an appointment with CSO Rya::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::strolls into the lounge, shaking his head to the beat of the music, making his earring jingle::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::finishes reading the counselor's report:: FCO: Please find out if the Europa is finally ready to tow the other freighter out of here.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::takes one look at the mug of Bloodwine in front of him, and smiles::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Umm ... right ... err ... absolutely, Captain. ::looks at his console in a glassy eyed stare::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Checks the Tractor Beam that was connected to the freighter::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::walks over to the juke box and drops in a few credits, picking out something up tempo that he can snap his fingers too::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@SO Adel: Ensign Adel, please assist CTO Nimitz.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::presses a button experimentally:: COM: Europa: This is the Praetor ... Captain Senn would like an ETA for towing the other freighter from the void. ::thinks he got that right::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::wonders if she should review the whole flight control officers' roster and find out if this one and Brown were assigned to vessels by mistake::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@::looks at Adel and motions to the TL:: SO: This way, ens. CSO: I'll be back in 25 minutes.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::spots K'Tracht at the bar and grins ... creeps up behind him, trying not to be spotted ... and when he gets right behind him starts barking at the top of his lungs like a junkyard dog::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::chugs the whole mug down, and bangs it on the Table:: Bart : Bart!! More Bloodwine!! ::looks around.. :: Oh wait.. This is not the Europa..

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::hears a peculiar beep from the console and smiles. He spots the Intell emblem on the display before he enters his auth code and starts reading the data Mary-Jane was sending him on Romulan movements in the area::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@::Glances at Lt. Taylor.:: OPS: If the tractor beam is all set, please inform the Captain that we're ready to go.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::gets up, and stumbles towards the replicator::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@CTO: Good luck Lt.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::seems not to have heard BLee::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@COMM:Praetor:CO:We're ready here.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@CSO: Aye

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<SO Adel> ::Follows the CTO to the turbolift, excited to actually get to speak with the Klingon.::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::surprised that K'Tracht didn't react at all:: TO: Oh come on, if I were a Targ you'd have freaked out!

TO_KTracht[P] says:
Self : It is not real bloodwine, but it will do...  Computer : Bloodwine...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: They say they are all set...

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::turns to look at BLee, with a strange gaze:: FCO : You're the new pilot, no?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::overhears Wobbles:: CO: Captain, ready to begin synchronous analysis of everything the teams discover.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@Computer: Shuttlebay 2 ::glances at the young officer:: SO: You're new?

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : Here.. ::shoves the bloodwine mug onto his hands, and turns to get another::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::looks back at the TO with an equally strange look:: TO: Oh, you're the drunk TO, right?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::looks at the bloodwine tentatively:: TO: This won't make me grow hair in weird places, will it?

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::turns serious:: FCO : Mind your mouth pilot!

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : Bloodwine lies the nectar of warrior... Drink!!

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::waves a hand in front of his face:: TO: Mind your breath, Gunner.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::gets another mug from the replicator::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<SO Adel> ::Grins confidently.:: CTO: Aye sir. I've got a great assignment.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::takes the glass up and drains it down his gullet ... it stays down for half a second before he starts choking:: TO: Whoa!

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@::enters the Bridge somewhat hesitantly.. looking around the large Bridge::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
FCO: All right then... fix our tractor beam on the Springer and tell the Europa to follow us out.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::looks at her ... then turns back to his console:: Self: Right ... tractor beam ... I just saw that here somewhere...

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::grins, and pats the FCO in the back, then laughs loud:: FCO : First time, huh? ::chugs some bloodwine himself::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@::doors open and he heads out toward the bay:: SO: Which department are you in?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::tries to wipe up the mess of bloodwine he just left on the bar:: TO: It burns on the way up!

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::turns around to West:: SFI: Let me know if what is found is really... well, something I'd like to know right away.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::initiates a tractor lock:: CO: Ah hah! Got it!

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : Hah.. THis is nothing compared to other drinks... You puny humans have to learn how to hold down your drinks.. ::grins::

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::smiles:: CO: Of course, Captain.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::hears Wobbles and hopes he is trying to be funny:: Wobbles: That is good...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::in mock seriousness:: Self: Waiter, a Shirley Temple please!

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Now ... did you want me to move this freighter somewhere?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ <SO> CTO: Science of course. ::Gives him a funny look.::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::looks at the FCO strangely:: FCO : A what? Forget your human drinks......

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::chugs down some more bloodwine while he goes to one tabel, and drags the FCO with him::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::laughs:: TO: Okay okay ... I'll give this bloodwine barf another try. ::takes a full mug and takes a few sips, cringing in pain::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Looks up and notices an unfamiliar woman on the bridge.::: <Lt. Artessa>: May I help you?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::sighs as he reads the report::CO: Captain...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::stumbles across the floor as the TO drags him around:: TO: This doesn't mean we're married, I hope!

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Checks the drag ratio::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::growls:: FCO : Do not mistake warrior bondage with Mating rituals.. You would not survive the start of a Klingon mating ritual, even if i wanted to initiate one.. ::grins::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
Wobbles: I do, as a matter of fact. Set a course back the way we came, and engage, one quarter of impulse.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::nods vehemently:: TO: I'll believe that! No need for a demonstration!

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@SO: Do you think I'm blind or you're just looking for being a cadet once again? I can see the blue uniform,I meant which SUB-department of science you're in. ::Gives him THE look, the last things he needs is an ensign playing wise-a**::

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::clears his throat:: CO: Captain...

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::pats him in the back again:: FCO : You are my kind of human, .. What do they call you?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Right. Self: Back the way we came ... at one quarter impulse... ::pushes a button with each word::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
SFI: Yes, Commander?

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: I hope so. I'm supposed to be meeting with a.. . ::glances at her che-- err, rank insignia:: Commander Rya... I presume?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::stretches his back, knowing the thumps the TO are giving it will leave a mark in a day or two:: TO: B'lee ... they call me B'lee. And what about you, my fierce Klingon Warrior friend?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> Aloud: Ooops ... err, never mind. ::bows his head over his console::

_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
CO: From what I'm getting, there shouldn't be any Romulans out here, Captain. The last one on record was the RSE Tesex that was spotted by an officer on the Vanguard. Nothing since then and it's been a few years. No reasons as to why Romulans would be out here either. Nothing of strategic value.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::bangs his hand on his chest, almost tipping over backwards doing so:: FCO : I am called K'Tracht.. If the house of... ::waits a second:: Never mind the House...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::raises an eyebrow:: TO: A houseless Klingon? Tell you what, beat me at arm wrestling and you can be a part of the house of Staychne.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::stares at West for a moment, chewing her lower lip before realizing she's not supposed to do that when on the bridge::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Shakes her head slightly and then smiles.:: Lt. Artessa: Yes, I am her, she. ::shrugs.:: Please just give me a moment.  FCO Brown: Please take us out of here at one quarter impulse after the Praetor begins to leave.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::shrugs and nudges him with his elbow:: TO: I made it up. But hey, a house is a house. All you need is four walls and a roof.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
SFI: Perhaps except this... pocket...?

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : A challenge?? ::grins:: No one can say that K'Tracht ever backed out from a challenge.. ::clears the table, sending the mugs sprawling on the floor, and sets up for some arm wrstling.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
CO: It's possible, but this is a long way away from the Star Empire for the Romulans to send a science ship, unless they blundered into it.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>:CSO: Aye, sir. ::Taps in 1/4 impulse power and follows the Praetor::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<SO Adel> ::Blushes:: CTO: Err, well, umm. I don't have a sub department yet.  Commander Rya's letting me act as a generalist for the moment.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::points after where his mug went flying:: TO: Hey ... I was sorta drinking that!

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : And do not Worry.. B'Lee.. I have come to terms with my fate...

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : Bah.. After the battle... Come.. ::bangs his shoulder on the table::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@Lt. Artessa: I'm sorry. Please have a seat. ::gestures to the XO's seat.::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::beginning to think this was a bad idea, with talk like that:: TO: I definitely need another drink... ::grabs hold of the TO's hand and arm wrestles him::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::nods, thoughfully:: SFI: There is not much we can do from here. I'll let command know as soon as we are back in normal space. Which reminds me... ::turns to Wobbles::

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@::gulps and sits down.. finding it more comfortable than any chair she's sat in... but then, how many engineers sit around all day?::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::hen pecks at his console, piloting the Praetor back the way they came::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::surprises the FCO, bringing his arm down relatively fast, and hard...:: FCO : Come on, Human.. is that all you can muster?

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
Wobbles: ETA to get out of here?

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>::Jostles the helm a bit::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::feigns indignation:: TO: Hey buddy, I didn't get these nose ridges in a knife fight! Watch who you call human!

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@::decided to play hard on the Ensign:: SO: I see. Now get in there... ::points to the shuttle:: and start pre-launching protocols.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>:Aloud:oops.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::looks at the Captain with a odd look:: CO: ETA?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Smiles at Artessa.:: Lt. Artessa: Welcome aboard the Europa.  I'd like to talk to you about this phenomena.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::stops for a second to study the human's face:: FCO : Human, Bajoran.. It is Difficult to get all of you distinguished..

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Ohhhh.... you wanna know when we'll get there! I see. A coupla minutes.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::anxious to get a chance to give his report as well::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::mutters:: Self: Particularly difficult when you have 12 pints of bloodwine in your system.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Looks over to the Helm, and steadies the tractor beam::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ <SO Adel>::Frowns at the CTO and is about to make a snide remark, but hold it in until he thinks he's far enough away.:: Self: Bossy son of a...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::rubbing his elbow, puts his arm up again to wrestle the Klingon::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::grins, and takes the bajoran's hand::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::raises both of her eyebrows:: Wobbles: Thank you. How long have you been assigned here on the Praetor?

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : Are you part of those that fought the Cardassians on your world?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::frowns at the TO:: TO: It's not something we discuss with outsiders.

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: Of course Commander, I'll help anyway I can.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::gets an idea and stands up::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Oh ... not long. My uncle got me this posting. Maybe you know him, Admiral Edwards?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::with nothing on sensors, he resets it to alarm and grabs a glass of water and reclaims his chair at the comm console::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ Lt. Artessa: Mr. MacLeod tells me that you feel the null space is not a natural anomaly.  Why?

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::studies him closely, then nods:: FCO : Battles should be told in stories, not held for your self.. But i will respect your wishes.. ::pushes down on the Bajoran's arm::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@::Sets a probe to be fired remotely from the shuttle:: SO: Are we ready?

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::blinks, and then nods:: Wobbles: I am acquainted with him, indeed ::thinks she can see the resemblance:: Carry on, please. Let me know as soon as we clear the space pocket.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::walks towards West's console::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
TO: Oh yeah? Then how did you get that forehead, veg-a-matic?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::looks up from his glass of water::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ <SO Adel> ::Was making faces at the CTO's back and quickly tries to contort his expression back to something more neutral.:: CTO: Aye sir.  I'm just making some last minute adjustments.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Oh my god! There's a space pocket near here somewhere!

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : It is not something Klingons Discuss with Outsiders.... ::Grunts::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::grins:: TO: uh huh...

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@::puts his legs on an empty chair:: SO: I'd like to depart before my first grandson is born, so please hurry up. ::he knows he's being mean::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::sighs:: Wobbles: Please don't worry. It's nothing, trust me. ::raises her eyes at the ceiling for a moment::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Oh, okay... ::continues to pilot the ship out of the area::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>::Jostles the Europa a bit because of the Praetor's erratic moves::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::allows the bajoran to gain some leeway in the battle, but holds his arm before it hits the table::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::composes herself and addresses West in low tones:: SFI: What would make the Romulans come here...?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<SO Adel> ::Straightens up and glares at Nimitz.:: CTO: Well, if you would help me, it'd go faster.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : You are strong for your kind.... ::brings the arm around and wins another round:: But i'm afraid you are still no match for me...

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Hangs onto OPS Panel, and thinks is this Pilot Ok?::

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: Well sir... we ARE near Breen space..  not to mention the Romulan debris.. where did it come from? Why is this null space no much different than those previously encountered?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ <SO Adel> CTO: I mean do you just lounge around like this on the bridge?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::takes a sip and puts the glass down:: CO: One of three things. The Breen, our new station, or this anomaly. The Breen are the smallest possibility. Breen stay out of Romulan affairs, so Romulans stay out of theirs. Our station is incomplete and surveiling it would be pointless. It's run of the mill. This anomaly has scientific value, but <cont>

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@SO: Someone I know should get a toothbrush because is going to go back to Waste disposal.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
there is no way to know if that is their true motivation.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@::Nods.:: Lt. Artessa: I agree. Those are all logical points. Were you able to learn anything about the null space while you were trapped in it? From what I have seen the main difference is the lack of energy drain. Did you notice anything odd or similar to readings you'd get from cloaked ships?

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
SFI: So we have no actual way to know. Yet... they were here. Have you identified what class of vessels this was?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Looks up at Lt. Taylor.:: OPS: Can you join us?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
CO: Not as yet, Captain. The debris we retrieved didn't have anything overly identifying on it except the blast evidence. That leads us to believe it may have been destroyed by the Breen. Why it was here though, still eludes us.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Swivels his chair:: CSO: Sir?

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
SO: Come on kid. My grandma would have already done it three times by now, and she's half blind.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::picks himself up off the floor:: TO: Yeah, well, put us in a couple of type 10 shuttles and I'm guessing I'd pilot rings around you.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<SO Adel> ::starts to say "you can't do that" but then remembers that Nimitz can and settles for a glare and finishes his work.:: CTO: It's done. SIR.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::shrugs:: SFI: Perhaps it would be best to leave this small mistery for others to figure out.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::grins:: FCO : We shall have to see... ::helps BLee up:: For now, we have more dringking to do.... ::heads for the replicator::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@OPS: Can you join us? You usually have good insights.

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: I'm afraid most of my time was spent on getting main systems back online.. the Romulan hull destroyed our main computer core and power distribution nodes.. being merely a cargo vessel, our backup systems weren't up to the task of powering the whole ship.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::smiles:: CO: I wish that were so, Captain, but it probably will not come to be. We're, or in this case the Europa, is the most capable ship in this sector. Who more to figure it out, than us?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::stumbles after the klingon brushing himself off:: TO: This time one of my drinks!

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::waits for the Bajoran:: FCO : Very well..

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@SO: Let's have some fun then. *OPS*: Shuttle ready to launch. Permission to depart

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::mutters:: TO: You wouldn't believe some of the brain dead pilots they have aboard this crate. I can understand why Senn wanted me to come along personally ... wanted someone who could tell a thruster from a RAM jet.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::chuckles::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Gets up and walks infront of the CSO:: CSO: Yes, sir.  ::Taps on a Padd:: CTO: You are cleared ::Opens baydoors::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::shakes her head:: SFI: We have another priority. This is still a rescue mission, and we can't go around places towing two freighters.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Nods.:: Lt. Artessa: Did you encounter the Romulan debris just after entering the null space?  ::Glances at Taylor and gestures to the counselor's seat.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::nods:: CO: You're going to request that we come back here?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::gets to the replicator:: Computer: I would like two of very best Bajoran Fire Tonics please.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Sits:: CSO: May, I?

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::raises an eyebrow:: FCO : Interesting name...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::takes the glasses as they materialize and hands one to the TO:: TO: Now be careful ... this thing will put hair on your chest ... literally.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ OPS: Of course.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
SFI: I am going to present the Admiral with what we've found. I am curious, yes.... I'd like to know what destroyed that Romulan vessel as well, but from a distance.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$::out of the ship, sees the all the ships suddenly dissapear:: SO: They are out of the null space. Let's do this and fast. ::launches the probe and waits until it's far enough::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
<FCO_Brown>:CSO: We are out of the Void.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::looks at the tiny glass, and laughs:: FCO : This? You would have me be afraid of this? ::chugs the drink down in one swallow::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::his face goes a little... strange::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::waits for it::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ FCO: Thank you. ::Turns to Taylor::  OPS: Please notify Captain Senn that CTO Nimitz is still in the void.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$SO: Start sensor logging...

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::growls somewhat:: FCO : HAaaaaa.... BLee... This is a true warriors.. Drink!!!!

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::grins, as he sees the look on the TO's face:: TO: Big things come in small packages.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$::fires a low power test on the probe::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@CSO: I speculate, that a Romulan Warbird, and a Breen Warship fought near here and fragments entered the void.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::coughs a few times::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
$<SO Adel> ::agrees with Nimitz and is all busines.:: CTO: Aye sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::sighs:: CO: I might have to return, though. I can't leave this one be. So if Admiral Edwards doesn't sent you back out here, I'm tendering my request now to take the Revenant back out here.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ Outloud: We should still be able to find some trace of the battle then.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Hits the Padd::COMM:Praetor:CO:Lt Nimitz is still in the void.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::opens the comm back to the Europa:: COM: OPS: Understood. We'll hold our position until he exits.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::sits up straight in his seat:: CO: Oh, Captain, you wanted to know when we left the pocket ... thingie ... well, we just did.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$::Keeps firing, one burst per second, increasing the energy until the probe is destroyed:: SO: Our job is done...let's get out of here

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
$::Releases the breath he was holding in.:: CTO: Let's get outta here then...sir.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
SFI: We'll see about that after we talk to the Admiral, ok? ::does not like the idea of a runabout coming back on its own::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
Wobbles: Bring us slowly to a full stop.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::looks into her gold eyes:: CO: Yes ma'am. We'll see what the Admiral says.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ OPS: Have the sensors picked up even minute traces of debris or warp trails other than the Springer or Maury?

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::nods at West:: SFI: Deal then.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> CO: Aye sir ... ::brings the ship to relative stop::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : So.. How have you come to be here BLee?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<Lt. Artessa>: Did you detect any signs of a battle?

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
SFI: Anything of interest on sensors?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@Lt. Artessa: Other than the debris in the void.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::gets up with his water and heads back to the sensor console and brings up the latest report:: CO: Nothing yet...

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@CSO: But if the void kills sensor readings then it wouldn't be detected.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$::sees a little sweat in Adel's forehead and pats his back:: SO: You though something bad was going to happen? ::coughs::..chicken ::coughs::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ OPS: But if it occured outside the void then our sensors should be fine.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
TO: Oh, I reckon that Starfleet decided in their infinite wisdom that the Europa needed a first rate pilot ... instead of a half dozen third and fourth rate pilots. So they stole me away from my beloved shuttle testing and crammed me behind one of these pigs again.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::grins broadly:: CO: I've achieved all stop, Captain!

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: Yes.. from our sensor logs, approximately 25 seconds after we entered the null space, we struck the Romulan hull. Our sister vessel attempted a sudden evasion maneuver, but struck another piece of hull.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
FCO : Hey.. The Europa is no pig.... ::stays silent for a while:: What is a pig?

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@CSO: Then the battle occurred inside the void...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::grins:: TO: A Targ without fangs or spikes. I'm not saying the Europa *is* a pig, I am saying she handles like a pig.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::chuckles:: FCO : Ahhh.... ::looks curious at B`Lee:: You have handled these pigs before?

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$SO: As soon as we are out of the void call the Europa and confirm we're alive and kicking.

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: We detected some minor damage on the hull piece, but nothing conclusive.. for all we knew the damage was caused by our collision. We knew, however, that the Romulan hull was not a solid piece.. if it was, we probably would not have survived the impact.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
$<SO Adel> CTO: No. I was not afraid. I just don't want to be away from my station for long. Commander Rya depends on me.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::looks around innocently:: TO: Well .. in all honesty, no. It's just an expression we pilots use.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
$<SO Adel> CTO: Aye sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::looks up from his console:: CO: Will be be heading back to the station now?

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::laughs loud, while taking a sip of that Fire drink:: FCO : I see you pilots are keen on expressions...

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@Lt. Artessa: What do you mean by "solid piece of hull?"

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
SFI: Yes, as soon as Lieutenant Nimitz is done with his tests and out of the pocket.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::grins:: TO: You could say that... ::sips at his Bajoran Fire Tonic slowly::

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: A full-size vessel.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::taps BLee's back:: FCO : I wonder... Are you a skilled fighter, BLee?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::drums fingers::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Nods.:: Lt. Artessa: Thank you. I just wanted to clarify.  Did you see any signs of the Breen?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::raises an eye-brow:: TO: I am a skilled fighter ... pilot, if that is what you mean. Checked out on the latest offensive shuttle configurations; the type 10T, the Obilisk, the Minx, the QT4 ... you name it, I've probably flown it.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$::Laughs at his answer:: SO: you were worried because Cmdr. Rya depends on you... I'll check that with Cmdr. Rya...I'll give a little klingon tip: Brave is not he who denies his fear but he who faces it, and in spite of it still does what he has to.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::smiles at the sound of West's drumming fingers and returns to her seat, to read Azhure's report all over again::

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: None at all... had we detected any before entering the void, we would have immediately broadcasted an emergency signal.. After entering the void our sensors couldn't penetrate outside.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::shakes his head:: FCO : No, no, no... I mean Hand to hadn combat... Warrior battle... Bat'leth?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::gets bored at the flight controls and looks around the bridge aimlessly ... lets out a yawn::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$<Adel>: COMM: Europa: The test is done, we're heading back to the Europa.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@::Tugs at her hair.:: Lt. Artessa: I know. I'm just trying to go over everything. ::Smiles slightly.::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::waves his hands in front of him:: TO: I don't know a bat'leth from a barbeque. I'm a lover, not a fighter, buddy.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>::Looks over at OPS and finds a file named PONG::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::grins:: FCO : Ahhh.. But a better lover you would be, if you where skilled in combat.. There are... Things to be used in rituals that you can only accomplish as a skillful warrior.. ::grins:: Come.. I will teach you...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::waves his hands in front of him:: TO: Oh, I think I'll take your word for it....

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Looks up:: CSO: If I can return to my station.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ OPS: Of course. Thank you.  Please let Captain Senn know the moment the shuttle is docked that we are ready to leave.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::as he starts to move to the exit... He suddenly trip on his feet, and goes sprawling on the floor:: FCO : Maybe.. today is NOT a good day to teach you...

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>::Is curious of the File::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@::sighs:: Lt. Artessa: Thank you for your time Lt. Artessa. Do you need any help finding your way to the lounge or the cargo bay?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::laughs and helps his new found friend up off the deck::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@::Gets up and sits at OPS, staring at FCO Brown::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::grins at BLee as he is helped up::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$::watches the Europa growing bigger and bigger:: SO: Come on kid, get this babe inside.

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@CSO Rya: Thank you Commander, I appreciated the conversation. I'll use the computer to find my way.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@COMM:CTO: You are cleared for landing.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
TO: You see ... the secret it to put one foot in front of the other, like this... ::mocks an exaggerated walk out into the corridor::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Smiles.  Artessa is a very polite lady.  The conversation while plesant enough didn't help any of them.::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::grins, like he is  understanding, but then passes out::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::shakes his head:: Self: Oh boy...

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
ACTION: Incoming Comm from Admiral Edwards.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<SO Adel> ::Mutters:: Self: Kid?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::goes to K'Tracht and tries to pick him up off the floor ... only to find out the Klingon is one heavy fellow:: Self: Oh sure B'lee, I can handle my liquor ... no problem, B'lee ... B'lee, this little thing? :;struggles with K'Tracht out into the corridor:: Self: Where is an anti-grav cart when I need it.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::opens the comm, wondering if Edwards will be proud or worried to see his nephew on the FC console:: COM: Edwards: Admiral Edwards.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@<SO Adel> ::Decides the Europa's shuttlebay had never looked so inviting - any shuttlebay for that matter.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::stands at the tactical console and watches the viewscreen::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
Aloud: All that fighting, you'd think you'd burn off more of this fat! ::wrestles K'Tracht down the corrirod::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
$SO: I think you're going to fas... ::hears the big scratch:: Ouch!!

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::waves as his uncle appears:: Aloud: Hi Uncle Edwards!

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
@::stands up, nods to Rya, and heads towards the Turbolift::

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::mumbles something::

Host Dawn_Artessa says:
%<Admiral Edwards> COMM: Praetor: Captain.. anything new to report? I was gratified to hear the crews were rescued at little loss to life. When do you plan to set course for home?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Faces the viewscreen and mulls over things in her mind while watching the stars streak by.::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<Shuttlebay Chief>::Looks down from the Shuttlebay Operations at the 10 Feet Gash in the shuttlebay:: Oh my god!

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::gets K'Tracht to his temporary quarters and uses his command codes to open the sealed door:: TO: You better thank me for this later...::drags the Klingon in by his arm pits::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
$<SO Adel> :: Pretends not to hear the screeching metal.:: CTO: I'm not a pilot. SIR.

TO_KTracht[P] says:
::drops like a deadweight onto his bunk::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
COM: Edwards: We are leaving this area as soon as one of my officers is back fromt he space pocket from conducting some tests. Our speed will be limited since we're towing the freighters, sir.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@COMM:Praetor:CO: All Crew is Accounted for, sir.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::leaves the TO on his bunk and rummages around the room glancing at the knicknacks before shaking his head and leaving:: Aloud: Some folks just can't handle their alcohol...

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
Wobbles/COM: Europa: Set course back to the starbase and engage, Warp 5.

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@::winks an eye:: SO: Don't worry, we'll say it was Brown's fault.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ <SO Adel> ::Wonders if he really saw that wink or if it was his imagination, but is sorely tempted to go along with the idea regardless of whether the CTO is serious or teasing him.:: CTO: That wouldn't be very professional of me would it?

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<Shuttlebay Chief>:CTO: CTO, Sir you'll have to fill a form 22-1A and turn it into Operations, sir.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Watches FCO Brown's back, willing the hermat to correctly follow the Captain's orders.::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>:CSO: Setting a course back to SB, Warp 1.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>:CSO: I mean warp 5

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::steps into the turbolift and orders it up to the bridge::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Nods at Brown.:: FCO Brown: Thank you ensign.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::arrives on the bridge and walks up to the Flight Controls:: Wobbles: I'm here to relieve you, Mister Wobbles...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> FCO: Oh ... okay. ::stands and relinquishes the console to B'lee ... heads towards what he thinks is a turbolift and walks into the Captain's Ready Room::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@ ::"Idiot":: SO: Ok, you want to be the hero and be blamed for it. Ok. You stay, fill that form, take it to me on the bridge and I'll present a full report. ::leaves the bay:: Self: I can't believe what a jerk this ensign is.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::relieved to have B'lee back on his station... and wondering what Wobbles thinks he's doing in the Ready Room::

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
::initializes the console:: Aloud: Hey, who got this sticky jelly on my console!

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ <SO Adel>:: Watches Nimitz go.:: Self: What a jerk.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::smiles at the young man heading into RR:: CO: Houseguests, Captain?

Host Adm_Edwards says:
%COM: Praetor: CO Senn: Very well.. I have dispatched a science vessel and two escort vessels to further research this phenomenon.. Prepare a full report for me by the time you arrive.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::nods, slightly disappointed at knowing there are others going to investigate this phenomenon:: COM: Admiral: I see. The report will be ready for you as soon as we make it there, admiral.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Gets up and gets a drink of water...all in order to look over Brown's shoulder.::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::smiles at West and whispers:: SFI: Please explain to Mr. Wobbles that he shouldn't be there...

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ Self: Pong?

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::hopes the admiral did not hear B'lee's comment::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>::Playing Pong::

CTO_Nimitz[e] says:
@::as he enters the bridge he goes to TAC and relieves the TO off duty:: CSO: I'll have a full report by 1800, ma'am.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ CTO: Thank you Lt.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::smiles back:: CO: Sure thing. ::locks down his console and heads for the readyroom::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
%COM: Praetor: CO Senn: I have no doubt Captain. I see you are on the Praetor.. glad to see it's still in piece. We'll be awaiting your arrival. Edwards out.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
<In one Piece>

Host Adm_Edwards says:
<yeah that>

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::walks into the cramped RR of the defiant class ship:: Wobbles: Hey...

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::smiles at the Admiral as he closes the comm, watching the starscape for a second:: Self: Me as well, especially with your nephew's time on the conn...

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::turns:: Sir?

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ FCO Brown: What exactly is this Mr. Brown?

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::gestures:: Wobbles: What are you doing in the admiral's office?

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::looks around and frowns disappointedly:: SFI: Oh, I thought these were my quarters...

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@<FCO_Brown>::Turns off screen:: CSO: Um... I got this off of the OPS Console.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Raises an eyebrow and glances at Lt. Taylor.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
Wobbles: Unless you've gone up ten ranks, I don't think they are. Come on, before you break something. ::guides the younger man by the shoulder::

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::glances at B'lee:: FCO: I was wondering, Mr. B'lee... I think it would be nice if you could conduct a series of drills with the flight control personnel on the way back to the starbase.

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@CSO: Huh?  I have other officers that use this console.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::comes along with West, but trips and grabs onto a starship model as he falls, smashing it into a million pieces::

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ ::Shakes her head.:: OPS: Really? You seem awfully jumpy. I didn't accuse you of anything.

SFI_LtCmdr_West-[P] says:
::sighs and hangs his head in his hands:: Wobbles: That's coming out of your replicator credits.

Host CSO_Rya[E] says:
@ All: We'll discuss this later.

FCO_B`lee[P] says:
<Wobbles> ::looks at all the pieces:: West: Oh, I'm sorry ... I can fix it, I swear. I just need some glue and tweezers.

Host CO_Senn[P] says:
::hears some noise coming from he RR and inwardly cringes::

OPS_Taylor[E] says:
@CSO: Yes, sir.
