OPS_Taylor says:
::Is sitting at OPS doing COMM algorithm::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::at TAC II just having received last evacuation confirmation::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::at SCI station, working on communication::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Sitting in her chair on the bridge::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Sitting in her chair, drumming her fingers on the armrest.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::laughs as the whoopee cushion he left on the CNS's chair goes off::

FCO_B`lee says:
::covers his mouth and snickers::

CSO_Vekh says:
::returns to the bridge after satisfying some physiological demands. I.e., went to the bathroom::

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes head, sitting at TAC 2::

CEO_Tyreen says:
CNS: Can I get your help with some of this cross telepath/spoken language syntax?

FCO_B`lee says:
::looks around:: All: What? I was just trying to break up the tension in here a little...

CNS_Azhure says:
::Holds out the whoopee cushion to B'lee::

Host XO_Rya says:
CEO/OPS: How is the translation/communication work going. ::Shrugs at the wording, they know what she means.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods and joins the CEO::

CSO_Vekh says:
::mans Science One and calls up an update on the situation::

FCO_B`lee says:
::takes it back and tosses it into the cubby hole under his console, sighing and turning back to his controls::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Puts her hand over her mouth to cover the smile at B'lee.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::mutters:: Self: I get no respect...

CEO_Tyreen says:
::glances at CSO:: CSO: Thank you for letting me borrow your station.

CSO_Vekh says:
::raises an eyebrow at the whoopee cushion thing::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::closes his pacman window and goes back to weapons and shields status::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks over her shoulder at the XO.  Motions at the FCO with her eyes and a question::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Is smiling at the prank that the FCO did:: XO:Um... Sir I am running it through the computer.

CSO_Vekh says:
CEO: You welcome, Chief. Any success?

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: I may have a solution.  However, I need to be sure they will understand us before we try to transmit.

Host XO_Rya says:
::See's Azhure's look and makes a swirly motion by her ear - the old "crazy" gesture.::

TO_KTracht says:
Self : Don't these people realize we've got a potentially dangerous situation going on?

FCO_B`lee says:
XO: It's a shame we don't have an amazing Shrink-O-Beam. We could shrink ourselves and go over and have a talk with our diminutive friends.

CEO_Tyreen says:
CSO: Some.  ::hands CSO and CNS PADDS containing info pertinent to each of them::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles and nods at Azhure and turns to answer the others.::

CSO_Vekh says:
::takes the PADD from CEO and runs his eyes through the info there::

TO_KTracht says:
::gets up:: FCO : B'Lee... You might be on to something.... ::goes over to the CSO console::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::shakes his head, mane flowing from side to side, and sighs::

Host XO_Rya says:
CEO: What's your idea Chief?

CEO_Tyreen says:
CNS: Well? Is this d-base information correct as far as telepathic brain activity?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles as she looks at the back of B'lee's head, then turns back to the CEO::

TO_KTracht says:
CSO : Sir...

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks over the padd in her hand::

CSO_Vekh says:
::turns at the Klingon approach:: TO: What can I do for you Mr KTracht?

Host XO_Rya says:
FCO: Lt. B'lee, are you volunteering for an away mission?

CEO_Tyreen says:
CSO: I think that these modifications would work, but I need to get the XO's permission.

CNS_Azhure says:
CEO:  Different races have brain activity, but it is often located in the hypothalamus.

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles:: XO: I'm not totally against getting out from behind this console for awhile. What did you have in mind?

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::in the Turbolift, on the way to the Bridge::

TO_KTracht says:
CSO  :Well, sir.. B'Lee gave me an idea... Have you tried transforming the isngal coming from the ship by "slowing it down"?

CEO_Tyreen says:
CNS: So the report states.  I think that we can use it.

CNS_Azhure says:
::nods::

FCO_B`lee says:
::listens to K'Tracht and glances over at Taylor::

CSO_Vekh says:
TO: It surely would not hurt to try out ::taps his console to play once more the message, at a progressive slower pace::

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: Ma'am.  I need control of the phaser banks.  I know we have a hazardous situation, but we have the torps.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Types in more computation into the computer::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Considers B'lee for a moment.:: FCO: I'm not sure yet.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods, and grins at B'Lee::

FCO_B`lee says:
::grins at K'Tracht's interpretation of his idea:: TO: You'll have to thank Captain Proton for that one ... I read it in one of his comics once.

CSO_Vekh says:
Computer: vary playing speed. Try and identify coherent speech patterns

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: I can manipulate the phaser signal to fire at the frequency and power output we recieved from their message.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::hears "control of the phasers" and a cold runs down his spine::

CNS_Azhure says:
CEO:  There is evidence that it will work... but... it has the potential of being risky.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Turns and looks at Tyreen to give the Jinai her full attention.::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::blinks at the CEO's comment and leans over to the CTO:: CTO: ::whisperring:: This is going to be a long day sirrr.

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : Who's this.. Captain Proton?

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: Thanks to some research and the OPS work on this translation, I was able to work out a sort of language.  And since they sent it in energy, we can try the same thing.

FCO_B`lee says:
::waves a hand and turns back to his controls:: TO: Never fear, Buster Kinkaid ... Captain Proton is here.

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::arrives on the Bridge, looking around at the various officers::

Host XO_Rya says:
CEO: Why does it have to be the phasers?

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes his head:: FCO : I think you should have your head examined my friend...

FCO_B`lee says:
::hooks his thumb towards the CNS without turning:: TO: That's her department.

TO_KTracht says:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS : Please.. Have him checked... ::grins::

CSO_Vekh says:
FCO: Captain Proton? I was unaware that we've got a new commanding officer ::is annoyed::

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: well, the COMM array, doesn’t work, we've tried it,  The deflector dish would work, but I really don't think you want to drop the shields when we don't know these things and the Breen ships are on their way.

CTO_Nimitz says:
ATO: Do you know what happened last time a CEO had control of a phaser? It was Europa's first mission. We almost initiated a war with an alien race. Check it out, logs are in the database.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks over at the two men and shakes her head with a smile::  TO:  Do you think he has a life time to do so?

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::chuckles at the CTO's comment::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Looks at Drayan and walks over towards the CEO.::

TO_KTracht says:
::shrugs:: CNS : Bajorans have such a short life span... You could try...

CEO_Tyreen says:
::has a PADD prepared for the XO containing all the required info::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Stops part way up the ramp and shakes her head.:: CEO: I appreciate the creativity Ensign Tyreen, but I am not prepared to fire our phasers at them yet, even if they are modified.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Chuckles lightly::  TO:  You might have to hand hold him to bring him.  ::Turns her attention back to what is being discussed about the weapons.::

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: Commander, I would recommend extreme caution whenever we try something upon this species. If they have Sovereign-level ships, it's rather safe to assume self defense is on the top of their priorities

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: Yes, ma'am.  ::continues to look for alternatives::

TO_KTracht says:
::moves closer to the CNS:: CNS : Just name the stardate and time.. I will have him there.

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  Correct.

FCO_B`lee says:
::makes course corrections slow and easy-like::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
self: We don't even get to use the phaserrrs. What makes him so special?

Host XO_Rya says:
CSO: Agreed.

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::enters the Bridge, not sure who to speak to::
XO Rya: Sir, Lieutenant Kovak, reporting as ordered.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at the TO a twinkle in her eyes::  TO:  As soon as we finish this mission.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: CNS : He will be there right before we dock... ::grins::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Kovak.:: Kovak: It's good to see you Lieutenant. Commander Azhure, could you please fill Lt. Kovak in on the situation?

CEO_Tyreen says:
::looks at the CSO::  CSO: What about transporters?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks over at the XO and back::  TO:  I think it will be a... rather memorable experience for him.

CSO_Vekh says:
CEO: In what way do you mean, Mr. Tyreen?

CNS_Azhure says:
::nods and turns to Kovak, quickly filling him in on the current situation.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
CSO: If we set the long-range transport emitters to broadcast the signal, we might get a similar reaction to the Commander's telepathic contact.

TO_KTracht says:
::stays silent for a moment, but reacts, whispering:: CNS : Should i be asking for another session with you? Something you hold out from me the last time?

Host XO_Rya says:
::Catches the counselor's look, but hasn't been following the conversation so she's not sure what the look means.::

CSO_Vekh says:
::thinks over what the CEO proposes:: CEO: I'm glad that you did not suggested we abduct one of them ::grins:: But we need to be sure I got their language right

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Were you able to find a way to send the aliens a visual of the Breen?\

CNS_Azhure says:
::Finishing with the science officer turns back to K'Tracht::  TO:  Something I with held from you last time?

FCO_B`lee says:
::checks the navigational deflector to ensure their course is clear::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: I am trying to find a way to send the visual, sir..

CSO_Vekh says:
CEO: Or else we can send out a declaration of war when we meant 'we mean you no harm' ::does his best Capt Picard personification::

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::nods as he listens to the Counselor::

CEO_Tyreen says:
CSO: It checks out with the signature we got from them and with the information we have on telepathic races.  There is no way to know but to test it.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: CNS : OUr last session was far from.. memorable..

Host XO_Rya says:
::Nods and then goes to sit back down.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles::  TO:  K`Tracht, my door is always open to you.

FCO_B`lee says:
::mutters to himself:: Self: Darmok and Gilad at Tinagra ... Darmok when the walls feel. Scathe, his eyes uncovered ... Scathe on the water...

TO_KTracht says:
CNS : Well.. I was thinking more along the lines of dinner... Sometime?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Computers Bleep:: XO: I am sending a Visual to the aliens...

FCO_B`lee says:
::hears the whoopie cushion that he had tossed onto the XO's chair when she got up, go off behind him and grins::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Hear's B'lee and looks over at him.:: FCO: Did you say something?

CSO_Vekh says:
CEO: Make sure then all the technical aspects of it check out and we will bring it to Cmrd Rya's approval

CEO_Tyreen says:
CSO: However, if you really want to test it...  OPS: Do you have that incoming translation system still running?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sends the algorithm and the visual::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Groans.:: FCO: I think you and I need to have a talk after this mission is over.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Raises a delicate eyebrow::  TO:  Dinner?  As long as you leave out the ghak.  It is a food I can not bring myself to appreciate it.

CEO_Tyreen says:
CSO: We can send it to ourselves and Lt. Taylor can translate it.  If it checks out, we will check with the Commander.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::remembers the data files from the system probe:: CSO: Sirrr, did we everrr get a read on the worrrmhole?

FCO_B`lee says:
::grins without looking back:: XO: AYE MA'AM!

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
CNS Azhure: The situation is most serious. I will do my best to contact them telepathically.

TO_KTracht says:
::smiles and nods:: CNS : You've got yourself a deal... Next time we have shore leave... ::returns to his station:

CSO_Vekh says:
CEO: try it out, Mr. Tyreen. It sure does not hurt to be on the safe side

Host XO_Rya says:
::Pulls the whoopie cushion out from under her and drops it behind her chair.:: OPS: Any indication that they've received it?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Shifts her attention::  SCI:  I will remain with you on this, monitoring.

OPS_Taylor says:
CEO: Yes, it is in the computer database.

CEO_Tyreen says:
OPS: Could you please actively scan the port side of the ship?

FCO_B`lee says:
::flies circles around the Mayollians ... literally::

CSO_Vekh says:
ATO: I'm not sure how much more was recovered, Mr. P'Rraos. Did you got any ideas? ::brings an updated sensor sweep to his console::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::activates the long-range transporters and uses them to send the frequency to dead space on the port side of the ship::

FCO_B`lee says:
::picks at a bit of oyster that is stuck in one of his teeth from lunch in the mess hall earlier::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Donno, I'm scanning the ships activity now ::Scans the ships::

TO_KTracht says:
::approaches the FCO console from the side, noting B'Lee looking a little bored...::

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances over at K'Tracht:: TO: If it isn't old baldie, himself...

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::closes his eyes and concentrates..::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::walks over to the CSO:: CSO: Well sirrr, since they seem to be doing everrrything thrrrough high powerrr frrrequencies, I was thinking maybe if we knew something about wherrre they'rrre coming frrrom it would help.

OPS_Taylor says:
CEO: Scanning ::Scans the port side of the ship::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Gently lays a hand on his arm, focusing::

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
ACTION: A high energy signal is detected...

TO_KTracht says:
::with a quick move, grabs B'Lee by the collar, over the console:: FCO : Watch it B'Lee... We may be friends, but there are some things i will not tolerate.. Even from a friend... ::lets go quickly, so as the rest of the crew will hopefully not notice it::

FCO_B`lee says:
::straightens up in his chair at the bleeping from behind him::

CEO_Tyreen says:
OPS: When you pick up the energy signal, use that translator on it.

CSO_Vekh says:
::thinks over the ATO's proposal when an alarm goes off in his console:: XO: Detecting a high energy signal!

OPS_Taylor says:
Self: What the ::Puts the Translator on it::

FCO_B`lee says:
::is jerked about by K'Tracht and is more than a little surprised as his words get choked off::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Since she's sitting in her chair, she does see K'Tracht, but is interupted before she says anything.:: CSO: What is it?

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: Trying to identify ::turns to the Caitian:: ATO: Mr P'Rraos, could you man Sci#2 and conduct a sensor sweep of the fracture?

TO_KTracht says:
::grumphs:: FCO : I was coming to deliver a piece of good news, but i will not share it now..

FCO_B`lee says:
::grabs at his collar and adjusts it so he can breath again, wondering what that was all about::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CSO: Aye sirrr. ::goes to SCI II and begins a sensor sweep of the fracture::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Translates it into Human language:: XO: Organic Ship attack, must destroy.

CSO_Vekh says:
ATO: Try and narrow the scanning beam and point it directly to the fracture. It will reduce interferrence from the alien ships power signatures

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
ACTION: 3 of the alien ships maneuver close to the Europa, power readings going through the roof.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Wonders where Captain Senn could be and sighs.:: OPS: Us or the Breen?

FCO_B`lee says:
::growing somewhat alarmed as the vessels come towards them:: XO: Umm ... they're getting awfully close... ::hears a proximity sensor go off and switches to manual piloting::

Host XO_Rya says:
FCO: Back us off

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::does as the CSO ordered::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: I recommend we get outta here like now...

TO_KTracht says:
::steps back to let B'Lee work::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Three of the ships have got closer sir

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: I presume the Breen...

FCO_B`lee says:
::grunts and looks for a way out:: XO: They're boxing us in ... not giving me a whole lot of directions to go...

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: Energy signatures are getting beyond scales, sir ::is rather alarmed::

Host XO_Rya says:
FCO: Can you go up or down?

Host XO_Rya says:
Kovak: Ask them what they're doing

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: Shall we try to talk to them another way now?

FCO_B`lee says:
XO: Three dimensional thinking ... lets hope Mayollians haven't mastered it. ::pilots the Europa up on her X axis.::

CSO_Vekh says:
OPS: Could they be mistakenly taking us for the Breen?

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::tries to get a clear read on the fracture::

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::tilts his head to one side, his right eye starting to spasm slightly as he concentrates::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::prepares a peace message in case the Lt. is unsuccessful::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Notes the eye tic, but keeps the area around him still.::  Kovak:  What are they doing?

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: I think that is what happened sir... I think they misrepresented us...

CSO_Vekh says:
::looks at Kovak, waiting for a response through him::

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Misrepresented us? Open hailing frequencies to what we think they receive.

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::doesn't open his eyes::
CNS Azhure: They felt threatened.. they are assuming a defensive posture..

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Open Hailing frequencies? Aye... :: Opens Frequencies::

CNS_Azhure says:
SCI:  Send them reassurance... inform them we are here to help.

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: If this is true, then the best course of action would be to...

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO:...stand down our weapons.

CSO_Vekh says:
::is not glad about Mr Kovak's findings:: CTO: What is our weapons status:

CNS_Azhure says:
Very quiet::  XO:  Commander...

Host XO_Rya says:
::Is starting to talk, but then looks at the CEO in surprise and turns to Azhure.:: CNS: Yes?

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  They are feeling threatened.  They are taking up a defensive posture.  Try to keep things as simple and non-threatening as possible.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CSO: All the good stuff is ready

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
CNS Azhure: They are not going to commence firing without an act from us..

Host XO_Rya says:
::Takes a deep breath and hopes she doesn't get them all killed.:: CNS: I hope this works.

Host XO_Rya says:
CTO: Stand down red alert.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods agreement::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::nods at the XO::

Host XO_Rya says:
Kovak: Lt. Kovak, continue to remind them that we mean them no harm.

CSO_Vekh says:
CTO: Thank you Mr Nimitz ::turns to the XO: I'd suggest power down our weapons. The Europa would not stand up a Sovereign-class starship in battle, let alone three of them

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Shall I keep the shields?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Powers down all systems to green status::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::slightly shivers at the XO's words, but keeps his composure::

Host XO_Rya says:
CTO: Yes, keep the shields up but power down our weapons.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::powers down weapons::

Host XO_Rya says:
FCO: Keep looking for a way out, but hold our position for now.

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods:: XO: Aye sir...

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  Of course part of the question lies also, with what might they consider defensive.  But they no more want to act then us in this.  Pity we can't communicate more openly.

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
XO Rya: Aye sir, I am trying.
::concentrating::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Moves so she's standing next to Azhure and mutters quietly.:: CNS: I don't get paid enough for this.

Host XO_Rya says:
::in a quiet, hopefully soothing tone.:: Kovak: I know. Thank you Lt.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Chuckles very lightly so not to disturb the area::  XO:  I think the common phrase might be, get used to it.

FCO_B`lee says:
::working at his controls trying to keep things smooth:: XO: I don't doubt that I could find a way out, Commander. But those ships are highly maneuverable ... far more so than Europa. They could easily counter any tactic I tried.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Grins:: CNS: Right.

Host XO_Rya says:
FCO: You're going to be beaten by a bunch of Liliputians? Keep trying Lt.

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: what if we try visual communication with them as opposed to verbal communication? Send out calming images or something along those lines?

FCO_B`lee says:
::mutters in irritation:: XO: I cannot change the laws of physics, Commander...

Host XO_Rya says:
CNS: Do you have any idea what the mayollan's look like?

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  I don't think it has been tried.  But it has potential... but again, what visuals would you use?

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
ACTION: One by one, the alien ships turn around and head back to the spatial anomaly/fracture/whatever.

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  Nothing has ever been recorded.

CSO_Vekh says:
FCO: Really Mr B'Lee? I thought you were better than just that. ::conceals a chuckle::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Refrains from answering B'lee.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: Perhaps if we boosted the telepathic signal.  Made a sort of telepathic megaphone.

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
CNS Azhure: Sir... I think they have decided we are not a threat.

CNS_Azhure says:
SCI:  Good.  Where you able to pick up anything more?

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Very true, Commander, specially since we know nothing of their culture

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  A bit of a catch 22.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Rubs the back of her neck.:: CTO: Are they still hovering around us?

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Commander...? ::does not get it::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: They are heading back to the fracture sir

Host XO_Rya says:
::Takes a deep breath.:: CTO: Thank you.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::still focusing his scan on the fracture::

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
CNS Azhure: They seemed to be concentrating their thoughts on 'home'... I do believe they intend to leave this sector of space.

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  If we had that information, we would know of them therefore this would not be a question.  One follows the other, yet neither stand alone.

Host XO_Rya says:
Kovak: Good work Lt. Kovak.

CNS_Azhure says:
SCI:  They came here because they were attacked and are now going home, but we came along?

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Thank them, sir. ::grins::

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::opens his eyes, almost collapsing::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Fascinating reasoning, Counselor. No wonder you got yourself into analyzing people’s cranial contents ::smiles::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Do you want to launch a buoy, sir?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Catches the man::  CSO:  Call up medical.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Goes over to the replicator to get Kovak some orange juice and hands him the chilled glass.::

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Yes. Please do so Lt. Taylor.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Assists him over to the nearest chair.::

CSO_Vekh says:
*Sickbay*: Medical Emergency on the bridge!!

OPS_Taylor says:
::Prepares a Buoy and launches near the fracture::

CSO_Vekh says:
<Dr_Pain> *CSO*: I'm right there, sir ::rushes out::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Kneels down::  SCI:  Are you alright?

Host XO_Rya says:
Kovak: Try to drink some of this.

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Make sure you don't put the buoy too close to the fracture.

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::sits down, taking the juice, even though he is fine::
CNS Azhure: I am fine sir, but thank you.
::accepts the juice::

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: We don't want them destroying it like our probe.

CSO_Vekh says:
::scans the alien vessels to determine their ETA of the fracture's event horizon::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye, I have put the buoy relatively far away from the fracture.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Stands up so as not to crowd the man::

FCO_B`lee says:
::relaxes a little as the ships move off::

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Excellent.

CSO_Vekh says:
<Dr_Pain> ::storms into the bridge:: ALL: State the nature of the medical emergency ::feeling superhero::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Motions the doctor over::  Dr:  Not so loud.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Frowns at Dr. Pain. She still doesn't like the man after her experiences with him during Julia's birth.::

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: Commander, the Mayollans will re-enter the fracture in 45 seconds

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
::stands when the doctor arrives::
Dr Pain: I am fine Doctor, it is nothing to worry about.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Walks over to Drayan.::

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  I wish... very much....

CSO_Vekh says:
<Dr_Pain> Self: everyone's a critic ::walks over to the SCI guy::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Shall I have a the USS Praetor Hailed?

FCO_B`lee says:
All: Hail the Praetor! ;:looks around:: Oh, sorry....

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Just bring them up to date on our status. Ask them to continue on course to meet us.

Host XO_Rya says:
CTO: Are the Breen still heading this way?

CSO_Vekh says:
<Dr_Pain> ::mechanically runs a tricorder over Kovak::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks out the view screen::  CSO:  To know what they actually look like...

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Curiosity killed the cat, Cmdr. We may very well consider ourselves lucky today

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  Probably... but it is still a wish... one I had when I was a child and first read about them.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Reaches SCI 1 and stands next to Drayan looking down at the sensor data.::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Look on the brighter side, commander. If we live out today, you'll be able to yet find out in a future encounter. One we might be better prepared to deal with them

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye ::Sends the information to the Praetor::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: They're 9 hours away sir

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: Mayollan vessels atop the subspace fracture now ::says after running a sweep::

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO: Perhaps... but like the flower fairies, one rarely gets to see one more then once.  ::Smiles sadly::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Nods at Taylor and Nimitz.::

Host SCI_LtJG_Kovak says:
ACTION: Incoming energy pulse from the alien ships..

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Azhure's image.::

CSO_Vekh says:
ALL: Incoming energy pulse. Brace for impact!!

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Incoming Pulse

CNS_Azhure says:
::Turns in surprise, grabing the back of a chair::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Decodes the Signal::

CSO_Vekh says:
::grabs his console and Rya's arm to support her::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Assumes it was a comm but holds on to Drayan's console and his arm.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::wishes he had a chair to grab::

CSO_Vekh says:
ALL: seems I overreacted. It's rather a COMM signal. OPS: Any luck with this one Mr Taylor?

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at her husband and lets go of his arm.:: CSO: Better to overreact than underreact. ::said quietly.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::listens::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Non-Organic Ship Not attack, free to go, Return to home now, They are going home now!

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CSO: Sirrr, still nothing new on the frrracturrre.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Heads back towards her chair.:: OPS: They are going home or they want us to go home?

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  One day... ::Turns to head back to her chair::

CSO_Vekh says:
ATO: Monitor it closely now, Mr. P'Rraos. I expect some reaction after the Mayollans got into it

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Looks like they are... ::Scans the ships::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Indeed, Cmdr. But I think this surely is not the last of the Mayollans we see

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::notices readings changing on his console:: CSO/XO: Sirrrs, the frrracturrre is incrrreasing enerrrgy output. It looks like it's closing itself as the ships enterrr it.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Turns to look at the viewscreen.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Frowns in thought for a moment:: CSO:  For me, you are correct.  ::Smiles::

FCO_B`lee says:
::mutters:: XO: I'm for us going home...

Host XO_Rya says:
FCO: No. We still have the Breen to deal with.

CSO_Vekh says:
::smiles back at the CNS:: CNS: Indeed, Azhure. I'd be most interested in discussing this subject again some time

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: I recommend since we have the Breen to deal with we goto Yellow alert after the rupture is closed.

Host MikeyAGM says:
ACTION: The six alien ships enter the fracture, with it closing behind them... it is not completely closed. There is a small opening approximately 0.2 meters in size.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at him.:: FCO: Besides as soon as we turn around, you and I are going to need to have a talk about. ::Picks up the whoopie cusion.:: this.

TO_KTracht says:
XO : Commander, if i may...

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Make it so.

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances at the cushion:: XO: Stay on station it is, then.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Turns around to look at him::  CSO:  Perhaps you might join me on a search one day... for a pot of gold ::Smiles::

Host XO_Rya says:
TO K'Tracht: Yes?

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at the Klingon.::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: You say that because you have yet to hear about Orion tales...there's better things than gold these days

OPS_Taylor says:
::Shipwide Yellow Alert::

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  Actually, I am referring to an old Irish legend and leprechauns.  Have you ever heard of them?

TO_KTracht says:
XO : Ma'am.. I think B'Lee's suggestion is a valid one.. The Federation's relations with the Breen are still.. Uneasy... If they find a Federation ship near the debries field of one of their vessels....

CSO_Vekh says:
::trains all sensor power into a narrow beam directed to the fracture, in hopes of obtaining further information::

TO_KTracht says:
XO : It is myopinion they will shoot first and ask questions later...

Host XO_Rya says:
TO: Unfortunately they apear to be testing weapons in our space. We can't just run away from them.

TO_KTracht says:
XO : These ships coming might also be equipped with this new weapon... I think the little people can take care of themselves.. And we need to report this back to Starfleet command..

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Actually, I have not. We may tag along to the lounge to discuss it when the danger is over. Anyway, how was that lounge called again?

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  Commander, not exactly in our space.  But the results are opening in our space... ::Looks over at science to make sure she has the facts correct.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Maybe they feel like testing their weapons on a living target.

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: On the contrary, Cmdr. From all I've got there was no weapons testing involved here.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Looks around the bridge and tries to look in commandish:: TO, CTO, CNS: Good points.

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  I look forward to swapping some stories.  I have been to Orion... though it was awhile back.  As for the name... hmmm... I don't remember it having one.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CSO: Sirrr, if I'm no longerrr needed, I'll be rrreturrrning to my station now.

Host XO_Rya says:
TO/CNS/CTO: It's Captain Senn's call.

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: the subspace fracture was not the result of isolytic weapons usage, but it was rather a travelling technique of the Mayollans

CNS_Azhure says:
::nods at the XO::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: That's something we shall set soon therefore, I mean the lounge's name

Host XO_Rya says:
CSO: Ah, thank you for clarifying that.

CSO_Vekh says:
ATO: Feel free Mr. P'Rraos...and by the way, good job

Host XO_Rya says:
CNS: I'm going to go look for Captain Senn. You have the bridge Commander.

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  A contest?

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::nod to the CSO and returns to TAC II::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods at Rya::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Heads for the turbolift.::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Most interesting idea, Cmdr.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes the command seat and turns around:: CSO: Actually, it is a common past time on ships.  I am surprised we have not had one done here before now.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::brings up tactical info on Breen ships just in case::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Once inside the lift, Alara asks the computer for Nayla's location and orders it to take her there.::

Host MikeyAGM says:
<<< Pause Europa Mission, Stardate 10202.17, 21:17 Eastern >>>

Host MikeyAGM says:
Questions for next week...

Will the Europa do anything to completely close the fracture in space?
Will the Europa get to meet the Breen commander?
Will the Ten-Forward Lounge get a name?
Will Captain Senn finally arrive on the Bridge?

All these questions - and more - will be answered, on the next exciting episode of: Star Trek: Europa!
