USS Europa
Stardate 10209.29

Host MikeyS says:
Time lapse of 1 hour. Main power on the Hydra is stabalized, and the engineers are now working to bring the warp core back online.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::at her station going through sensor data::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::on the bridge::

Host CO_Rya says:
::In her ready room reading a message that just arrived.::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@CMO: So Doctor, what do you think?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Chimes the captains door::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::walks up to Lt. Llewellyn:: CSO: Any luck with that sensor logs?

FCO_KTracht says:
::sitting at the conn, going over a few search patterns, trying to find the best one for two ships::

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: I just got started. Any ideas?

CIV_Vekh says:
::returns to the bridge, looking for the Captain so he can deliver his report on the Prometheus-class ships::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks up from the report and runs a hand through her hair before calling out:: CNS: Come in.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Enters the door.  As it closes behind her...::  CO:  You look a bit flustered.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::blinks and raises an eyebrow:: XO: About what precisely?

CTO_Nimitz says:
CSO: I'm afraid not. What do we know about the attacker so far?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Straightens up in her chair.:: CNS: Do I? ::Shakes her head:: Just lost in thought. Did you learn anything new?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::sees Vekh looking for someone:: CIV: Capt Rya is in her Ready Room with Cmdr. Azhure, if it's her you're looking for.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::standing somewhere other than in the morgue:: CMO: Are you ready to return to the Europa?

FCO_KTracht says:
::truns around as he hears Vehk's name:: CIV : Ahh.. Just the person i wanted to see..

FCO_KTracht says:
CIV : Commander.. Could you come over here, pleasE?

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Unfortunatly no.  I keep running against a dead end.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Um... that they use weapons that leave a federation phaser signature, most like the prometheus class. I wonder if the signature of the weapons have been altered somehow, since the prometheus class vessels in operation are accounted for.

CIV_Vekh says:
::turns to the Klingon:: CTO: Reading minds now, Lieutenant. A good thing for a tactical officer ... or a poker player

CMO_Calahan says:
@::nods, slightly ticked and hands on her hips...she pops her neck:: XO: There is nothign more I can do here short of breaking into the morgue Commander.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Drums her fingers on the desk for a moment and then stands up abruptly.:: CNS: Would you like something to eat or drink Azhure?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::raises an eyebrow and ponders, as if actually considering the clandestine raid:: CMO: I believe we'll have to take the Captain's word for it ... for now. ::taps his combadge:: *CO*: Doctor Calahan and I are ready to beam back to the Europa.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  What I would like, is some answere to help out here.  ::Takes a seat::  Chamomille tea would be nice.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Goes to get a cup of tea and pauses when she hears Kief's comm.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CIV: Dont tell anyone but I stink at poker. I get too excited when I got a good hand. ::grins:: Do you have some information from Adm Edward?

Host CO_Rya says:
*XO*: Good. Notify the transporter room. I'd like a report when you return.

FCO_KTracht says:
::looks up at the COmmander, wonering if he heard him::

CMO_Calahan says:
@::rolls her eyes:: Self: We'll see...I have a feeling the reports aren't detailed....

Host CO_Rya says:
::Turns back to the replicator and orders the two cups of tea and hands Azhure her's when she passes by on her way around the desk.::

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: If Azhure is with the Captain now, I'd better wait they are done. You know how women are when they get together

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::starts running a list of weapons signatures that could be altered to simulate a prometheus class phaser::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::glances at Calahan:: *TR1*: Chief Velik, two to beam back.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes the cup with a thanks::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
<Chief_Velik> *XO*: Aye sir ... energizing.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: I don't think we have much time now but you asked me a question a while ago that I never got to answer.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CSO: Are we certain they were using a cloaking device? Could have it been, I don't know, a sensor failure, or sth else?

CMO_Calahan says:
@::smirks at the XO's reaction.....she'll break this officer in yet...::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  About what happened to our short termed Vulcan XO?

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: not much from the Admiral or the date he provided me, excuse me a minute ::walks over to the FCO before he starts wipping::

CIV_Vekh says:
FCO: Do you wanted to see me, Lieutenant?

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::sees a blinking light on her console:: CTO: Excuse me a moment.... ::pulls up the information:: Look at this! A long-range telescope near the Black Cluster has detected what appears to be a type-5 deuterium tanker. Scans are inconclusive from this extreme distance. It would take approximately 2 hours to reach that location at warp 8.

FCO_KTracht says:
CIV : Someone hasn't been reading their Briefings... ::turns back to the console:: CIV : Take a look at this... What do you think? It's the best search pattern i've come up with so far.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Don't know about sensor failure... there are lots of things that could keep a ship hidden from sensors.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods and takes a sip of her berry tea.:: CNS: Command assigned him to the ship without consulting Admiral Edwards or myself. When I reviewed his service record I wasn't satisfied that he was the best person for the job.

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Kiefaire`zar and Calahan are (safely) beamed back to the Europa.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::materializes aboard the USS Europa in the transporter room ... looks to ensure that Doctor Calahan materialized with him::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CMO: I'll expect a full report on my desk by 1700 hours, Doctor. ::as he steps down off the transporter pad::

CIV_Vekh says:
FCO: Is that so? I'll inform the Captain of it ::peeks at the patterns projected in KTracht's console for a minute or so::

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: I realize it was abrupt but I'm hoping that Commander Kiefaire'zar will be a better fit.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  I had only appearance and a brief meeting.  I thought he would do well.  But it is important that you can work with the man.  ::Looks down at her cup::  Do you believe you can work with Kief... Commander Kiefaire'zar?

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow and steps down as well, walking past the Commander:: XO: That depends on how long it takes me to read through the reports. I have a feeling they are not too detailed....::decides not to finish her statement, and clears her throat:: But you should will have it ASAP.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CSO: We should work on figuring out what that things can be. A cloaking device that allows firing is a very dangerous threat. What about some kind sensor tampening beam or sensor scattering field...?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::nods:: CMO: Very well... ::heads out of the transporter room taking a left for the nearest turbolift::

CIV_Vekh says:
FCO: Looks like you've covered mostly everything. I just wished we could narrow the possible escape routes a little more

CMO_Calahan says:
::tilts her head slightly as she walks out the door as well- walking toward another TL ::

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Yes. I'll check.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
TL: Bridge...

Host CO_Rya says:
::Takes her time answering.:: CNS: Yes. I believe so. We have had little opportunity to actually get to know one another but we seem to be complementary on paper.

CIV_Vekh says:
FCO: Do we have records of the location of the attacks on the other 4 or 5 deuteriun tankers?

CSO_Llewellyn says:
FCO/CIV: I have some information you two might be interested in, A long-range telescope near the Black Cluster has detected what appears to be a type-5 deuterium tanker. Scans are inconclusive from this extreme distance.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::steps out of the turbolift and onto the bridge, spotting the CTO in the center chair::

FCO_KTracht says:
CIV : Hrrrmmmm... ::thinks for a while:: How bout this? ::does a minor change, increasing the chance of crossing every bearing out of this reagion by 30%::

CMO_Calahan says:
::steps into her TL and sighs, leaning against the back wall...she directs the TL to the appropriate deck::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods::  CO:  He is more of the opposite of you, so complimentary.  I hope it does work out.  How are you and Vekh handling the change?

FCO_KTracht says:
::turns back:: XO : Sir... If you're back.. Does that mean the Hydra is all fixed up?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::hears the TL doors and turns:: XO: Commander...welcome back.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::nods at Nimitz:: CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: The sensor data was able to track the ship for a brief time. It looks more like a grey mode than a true cloak. That would explain why it is not on our sensors, it is running silent.

CMO_Calahan says:
::steps out of hte TL and begins her walk to sickbay....she turns and enters the doors::

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Time will tell. If nothing else it will be a learning experience for all of us. ::Tries to smile.:: Drayan and I are okay. The change isn't easy but I think we're both handling it well. Actually I need to speak with him when we're done about his assignment.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::stops by the science console as he overhears Llewellyn's statement:: CSO: What has been the frequency of the attacks to date?

CIV_Vekh says:
FCO: Looks much better. We could also cross-refer the destinations with deuteriun markets in the sector, where the merchandise could be passed along without calling much attention

CMO_Calahan says:
<Nurse Julia> ::hears the doors open and turns around, smiling....she walks toward the doctor, picking up the cappuccino she had ready from the replicator.....good, still hot...::

CIV_Vekh says:
CSO: When was that detected? Do you have a time stamp?

FCO_KTracht says:
CIV : THose are way too many, sir... It would make the search pattern rather complex, and time comsuming..

FCO_KTracht says:
CIV : This, though simpler, and less exhaustive, increases our chances of getting something..

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: A LR-telescope has detected a type 5 tanker, two hours from here.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
XO: Frequency? Four attacks besides this one. Three by the orions, one by the breen and nowhere near here, sir.

CMO_Calahan says:
::accepts the cappuccino and drinks it gratefully:: Julia: Anything happen during my absence?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::nods:: CSO: Yes, but four attackes over a year .... four attacks over ten years ... over what period of time?

CIV_Vekh says:
::scratches his chin, been a while since he last shaved:: FCO: I think we'll have to go with what we got then, picking of the best possible destination

CNS_Azhure says:
::Finishes her tea::  CO:  Let me know if I can help any further on that.  I should probably check to see if any more data has come in, but I don't have my hopes on it.  But... what about finding another frieghter that is similiar to this one and staking them out?  Though we might have to wait a long time for anything.

CMO_Calahan says:
<Nurse Julia> ::shakes her head negatively:: CMO: Nothing serious. Just a few minor injuries- sprained ankle, strained wrist...

FCO_KTracht says:
XO : Sir... Can i deduce from your being back, that we can disengage the dock with the Hydra?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks at Azhure:: CNS: You have reservations about Kiefaire'zar?

CTO_Nimitz says:
CSO: What about that tanker picked by the telescope? Was it heading anywhere or were it adrift?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::holds up a hand to the CTO:: FCO: Begin undocking procedures with the Hydra, please.

CIV_Vekh says:
FCO: OK, want me to report it to the XO?

FCO_KTracht says:
::whispers:: CIV : I can't stand having the Europa in this kind of crippling situation..

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: All I got was that it was spotted. Not in what condition, the range was too far to tell.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Holds up a finger to indicate that she heard the rest of Azhure's comment but is more interested in getting her question answered.::

CIV_Vekh says:
::whispers back:: FCO: Indeed, it makes the hair in the back of my neck stick. Too vulnerable we are

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::waits, as he patiently stares at Llewellyn::

FCO_KTracht says:
XO : Aye sir.. Gladly.. ::moves back to the console:: CIV : I think we might not need it after all, but sure... In the meantime, i have to free this bird now..

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at the captains curiosity::  CO:  I think Kief is a fine officer.  His percision can get on your nerves sometimes, but he gets the job done.  I have not seen any of that changing in him... He is perhaps more... intense.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::fingers flying at her console trying to pull up three types of data at once:: XO: Over the course of one year.

CIV_Vekh says:
::nods to KTracht and moves off, making notes on his PADD::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CSO: Hmm ... so we can safely deduce that any type 5 deuterium tanker traveling in the region would be a target. CTO: Mister Nimitz, set course for the tanker that has been detected at maximum warp. Also put out a hail system wide and alert any deuterium tankers of the potential danger that traveling through this region may pose to them.

FCO_KTracht says:
::waits for the OPS officer in charge to de-couple the docking collar before continuing..::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks at her friend with an interested expression.:: CNS: You are already aquainted?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CIV: Mister Vekh, I'd like you at OPS... All: I'll be in with the Captain. ::walks over to the Ready Room door and presses the chime::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Long ago... long ago.  I actually thought he was dead.  I am waiting to here from him his story.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: apparently the telescope noted its arrival when it dropped out of warp. It is currently moving at half-impulsse, destination unknown.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks up at the chime and sighs.:: CNS: I'd love to hear more of this later.

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: One moment

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: It looks to be heading towards the Black Cluster. It is presently on the outer rim of it.

CTO_Nimitz says:
FCO: We're going after the tanker. Max warp. CSO: Send last known coordinates of the tanker to FCO's console.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::fidgets as he hear's the Captain asking him to wait, nothing is worse for efficiency::

CIV_Vekh says:
XO: Immediately. Sir, these are the searching patterns Lt KTracht and I have been working on, in attempts to narrow the possible destinations of the attackers ::hands him the PADD as he cross the command deck headed to Operations::

Host MikeyS says:
<OPS Hung> ::disengages the thingamajig so they can ride off into the sunset::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods as she stands up::  CO:  I will leave you to more pressing duties.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::sends the coordinates to the FCO::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Alara stands up and clears her and Azhure's cups away.:: CNS: We'll talk again later. Please let me know if your research yields any results.

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Come in.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::takes the PADD's from Vekh and nods:: CIV: I'll trust that they are the most efficient search patterns possible. ::steps through the door into the Captain's Ready Room::

Host MikeyS says:
<OPS Hung> ::hears the XO and stands in the back of the Bridge, keeping an eye on the power distribution nodes from the secondary engineering console::

CNS_Azhure says:
::nods::  CO:  As soon as... ::Nods to Kief as she passes him.::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::comes to face with Azhure:: CNS: Az ... Counselor. ::glances to the Captain:: CO: Captain, the Hydra will have main power restored within the hour.

CIV_Vekh says:
OPS: Mr. Hung, I'll take over now ::releaves the junior officer and begins assessing the situation:: XO: You can bet your best blue makeup that they are

CTO_Nimitz says:
CIV: Prepare a COMM to all vessels and stations in the sector. Deuterium tankers are to be considered potencial targets of an yet unknown attacker.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods in greeting to the XO:: XO: Excellent. What did you find over there commander?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Slips past the Bolian with a smile, leaving the two::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CIV: Maintain our shields up all the time.

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: working on it, Lieutenant. May I suggest we send a codded message? The attackes may be tracking communications from and to any deuterium tankers in the area

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::glances back to ensure the Counselor has left the room:: CO: I'm afraid very little, Captain. Of the assailant, I have virtually nothing. However, Lieutenant Llewellyn reports that a long-range telescope has spotted a type 5 deuterium tanker away from established trade routes near the black cluster.

CMO_Calahan says:
::becomes absorbed into the report, trying to visualize it in her mind as she reads through it::

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Does the Hydra have shields up and running?

CIV_Vekh says:
::checks the console yet again to make sure:: FCO: We are safely separated from the Hydra now. Ready to go

CTO_Nimitz says:
CIV: I agree. Warn them also not to answer our COMM. That will give away their position.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: Yes sir, weapons systems are fully restored.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: Since the Hydra is out of danger, I've ordered Mister K'Tracht to begin undocking procedures and to set course immediately. Mister Vekh is also putting out a system wide warning that Deuterium Tankers are to be considered potential targets of an unidentified group.

FCO_KTracht says:
::smiles to himself:: CTO : Europa is free of the Hydra.. I'll start moving away from her shortly.. ::preps the impulse engines, and brings thrusters online::

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: Will do. Now...An idea just crossed my mind, Mr. Nimitz ::thinks out loud as he sets up the message::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes her seat near the center chair and looks over the newest data.::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Starts to say set course and then nods since he's already done that.:: XO: Good. How long till we reach the tanker?

CMO_Calahan says:
::finishes the report on the first patient and frowns slightly at it, moving onto the next one::

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: Have you ever heard the tale of the Trojan Horse, Mr. Nimitz?

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The Hydra's warp core is brought online; warp power should be restored within 15 minutes.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::glances around the room, his first time in Captain Rya's ready room:: CO: Mister Nimitz reports the vessel to be approximately two hours from our present location.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CIV: Troja...What a great battle! I've heard of it.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CIV: What do you have in mind?

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Is that at best possible speed?

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: Now...these privateers, pirates, whatever seem to be intent on - for whatever reason - attacking deuterium tankers

Host CO_Rya says:
::Assumes it is and continues:: XO: Was there any sign that the thevies had help from someone on the Hydra?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::shifts slightly:: XO: I've ordered maximum warp ... that should brush about twenty minutes off the trip.

CMO_Calahan says:
::doesn't....like.....the phrasing used in the reports and stands, grabbing her cappuccino and PADD...she walks to main sickbay and to the console, setting her PADD down::

FCO_KTracht says:
::as the final leg of the Docking collar is retracted:: CTO : We're ready for warp flight, sir.. Engaging impulse engines to get clear of the Hydra..

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: What if we replace a tanker's crew and sell ourselves as a 24th century Trojan Horse? We can pretend we are just yet another tanker eager to be attacked. What do you think?

CTO_Nimitz says:
FCO: Set course at warp 9.

CMO_Calahan says:
::transfers the report to a holodeck, then turns to Julia:: Julia: I'm going to holodeck 1 to look over the reports....comm me if I am needed. ::Julia nods and Keely walks out and down the corridor::

CSO_Llewellyn says:
All: What if this tanker is the one we are looking for?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Rubs her nose as there is nothing more she can discover in the data that would help.  But was it not there or was she just missing it?  With a shake of her head she lets it go.  Perhaps she had been looking at it too long.::  *CMO*:  If you are not busy, I would like to proceed with our session.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::wide smile:: CIV: I really like it. It's bold but it may work.

CMO_Calahan says:
::chokes on her cappuccino and stops mid stride, coughing::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The Europa frees itself from the Hydra and prepares to go to warp...

FCO_KTracht says:
::sets the intercept course, and engages warp engines:: All : Everyone hold on to their seats..

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::glances at the suddenly quiet Captain:: CO: Is everything all right, sir?

CIV_Vekh says:
CTO: We could bring that up to the Captain and Commander K, if anything else fails ... or better yet, we could go ahead with it. I'd like to volunteer for the team, if we ever go that way

Host CO_Rya says:
::Shifts her weight:: XO: I was about to ask you the same thing. Would you like me to repeat my question?

CMO_Calahan says:
::manages to tap her combadge, still coughing slightly but she manages enough air to get out::*CNS*: What?!

CNS_Azhure says:
*CMO*:  Are you alright?

FCO_KTracht says:
::turns back once their in warp:: Civ, CTO : There's a flaw in your plan..

CTO_Nimitz says:
FCO: Engage as soon as we are ready.

CIV_Vekh says:
::turns to helm:: FCO: And what that would be?

FCO_KTracht says:
CIV, CTO: It could be weeks, months, or even years before the attackers would go after your specific Tanker

CMO_Calahan says:
::glares at a random crewman who looked at her oddly and continues walking:: *CNS*: Oh, I'm just perfect, thank you... :;sighs:: I apologize, you caught me mid-drink.

CNS_Azhure says:
*CMO*:  Sorry about that.  We have yet to have our initial evalutaion.  I know you are just dieing to have ours, so I would like to help you by getting it out of the way.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: I'm sorry sir ... I was under the impression I had answered it. Aside from the number of casualties, there was nothing unusual about the attack from the Hydra's point of view. There was no definite sign of inside help.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CNS* I am currently on my way down to the holodeck to review the autopsy reports....::remebers Julia's comment and grins:: Why don't you join me.....Counselor.....?

CTO_Nimitz says:
CIV&FCO: K'tracht is right. But what about two or three tankers. That would be hard to resist.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods:: XO: Did you learn anything else of interest while over there Commander?

CIV_Vekh says:
FCO/CTO: An interesting thought, Mr. Nimitz. Make ourselves more 'irrestible'

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::grimaces:: CO: Unfortuntely, no ... the crew was unussually tight-lipped. I believe we only had the opportunity to speak to three members.

FCO_KTracht says:
CTO, CIV : Starfleet wouldn't allow you to remove three tankers from their cargo transportation runs... They don't have enough as it is, after the war..

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::shakes her head as she thinks this tanker is the one they are looking for and no one seemed to hear her::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Raises an eyebrow at that:: XO: That's unusual. Was Captain Davidson forthcoming with information?

FCO_KTracht says:
CTO, CIV : Of course, we could try anyways.. ::smiles:

CIV_Vekh says:
CSO: Can you divise any pattern in the recent attacks? Is there any progression in time regarding where the tankers were attacked? We could try and extrapolate the possible next attack

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: There was no indication he was unwilling to assist us. He was just ... very busy.

CNS_Azhure says:
*CMO*:  The holodeck?  An interesting place to review work.  I will meet you there.

CTO_Nimitz says:
FCO&CIV: Let's share it with the captain. There's nothing to loose if we dont find the tanker in the black cluster.

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Understandably. ::Looks at her new XO:: Is there anything else to report Commander Kiefaire'zar?

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: Sir... may I suggest that this tanker may be the one we are actually looking for? ::hopes he hears her this time::

FCO_KTracht says:
CTO : Well, for now, we have a possible suspect, so i don't think it's needed to bring it up to the Captain just yet

FCO_KTracht says:
CTO : If this is not our prey, then we will ask her..

CMO_Calahan says:
:;nods and taps her combadge, still laughign slightly....she arrives a few minutes later in the holodeck:: Computer: Computer, load the information from the Hydra Autopsy reports and extrapalate what the subjects would look like, as detailed as possible.

CMO_Calahan says:
<Computer>::works a few moments:: CMO: Task completed. Specify setting.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Stands:: CTO:  Should any new data come in or what not, I will be down at the holodeck.

CIV_Vekh says:
CSO: can the telescope positively identify it as such? Or else, when do you think the Europa will be in range to provide a reading?

CMO_Calahan says:
::tilts her head:: Computer: Examination room....all equipment necessary present....

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::nods slightly:: CO: No sir ... do you have anything further for me?

CMO_Calahan says:
<Comp> ::beeps:: CMO: Enter when ready.

CTO_Nimitz says:
FCO: Exactly. CIV: Work on it, so we have it ready if we need it.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CNS: Understood, Commmander.

CIV_Vekh says:
CSO: If it is indeed the one we are looking for, it can save us a lot of work on searching for possible future attacks

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: Darn brain of mine must be moving slow... ::tries to detect if the Ship ID on the tanker is the one they are looking for::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Alara shakes her head:: XO: Not at the moment. Thank you. Could you please send Commander Vekh in when you go back out to the bridge. I'll rejoin you on the bridge momentarily.

CNS_Azhure says:
::With a nod, steps onto the TL::

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: Agreed.

CMO_Calahan says:
::sips her cappuccino and enters the holodeck::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: Very well, Captain... ::turns and heads out of the Ready Room re-entering the bridge::

CIV_Vekh says:
CSO: The Hydra might have the registry if it's not in our databanks yet ::opens a general comm channel, coded::

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks over to the two bodies and sighs:: Self: okay....the first one was blonde...::finishes her cappuccino and sets it on top of the console behind her, walking forward, PADD in hand::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Sits on the corner of her desk closest to the window and stares out it while she waits for Drayan.::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::walks over to OPS:: OPS: Commander Vekh, you're dismissed ... please report to the Captain.

CNS_Azhure says:
::As the TL stops, she steps from it and proceeds to the holodeck::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: We are on our way, Cmdr.

CIV_Vekh says:
COMM: Deuterium Tankers: Attention, do not reply to this general warning. This is Cmdr. Vekh from the Europa, we have reason to believe you may be in danger of attack by privateers when crossing <insert coordinates here> sector. Redouble your watch. Europa out

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::listens as the Commander send out his hail::

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: I believe we would have the same ID from when we were issued orders. Still, at present, it seems the long range sensors cannot tell the ID. Could be interference from the nebula.

CMO_Calahan says:
Computer: Computer, verbally play back the Hydra's Autopsy report...starting at the very beginning.....

CMO_Calahan says:
::clears her throat and puts on gloves (out of habit) as she examines the body listening to the report....::

CIV_Vekh says:
XO: Yes, sir ::leaves the station::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Approaching the holodeck, she activates the doors and slips into the room.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::her eye twitches as the doors open and close:: COmputer: Pause recording.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Enter the holodeck, she notes it is set up like a morgue.::  CMO:  You have an interesting parlor.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::heads over to the center chair:: CTO: I have the bridge, Mister Nimitz.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: We won't be able to get that kind of detailed information until we get to about one light year.

CIV_Vekh says:
::knocks at the CO's ready room door and waits::

CMO_Calahan says:
::continues to look over what the computer created:: CNS: But of course, how else do I cure hypochondriacs?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Hears the knock and turns her head towards the door.:: CIV: Come in Commander.

CMO_Calahan says:
::traces her finger along a burn lightly, deciding how it was created...she ignores a lock of hair that falls to the side of her face::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: I know, it's in the manual. Why do you bring it up?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::takes the center chair:: CTO: Because it's also in the manual...

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CTO: Do we have the tanker on long-range sensors yet?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods::  CMO: An interesting technique.  ::Looks over the 'patient'.::  From the Hydra?

CIV_Vekh says:
::enters:: CO: Wanted to see me, Captain?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Smiles at her husband and waits until the doors close behind him before hopping off the desk.:: CIV: I did Imzadi.

FCO_KTracht says:
::turns back to face the XO:: XO : Do you do everything by the manua, sir?

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: I've completed my report on the Prometheus class, if it's about it

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods and tilts her head, thinking to herself:: CNS: Yes....::answers a bit distractedly::

Host CO_Rya says:
CIV: I'd like to hear your report, yes, but it's actually about something else. Why don't we go over your report first.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::looking at K'Tracht:: FCO: Everything that matters, Mister K'Tracht.

FCO_KTracht says:
::shurgs, and turns back to his console:: XO : ETA to intercept is currently 1hour, 30 minutes, sir..

CIV_Vekh says:
::half haises an eyebrow at her 'hopping off', that's usually sign of trouble but ignores the phantom menace for now:: CO: As you wish sir

CNS_Azhure says:
::She looks at the badly charred body.  They already lived such short lives.  To loose it even sooner...  she glances at the doctor who has on a lab coat with the sleves slightly pulled up and a cup of cappuccino on the console.  She reminded her of an old friend from long ago.::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Sighs:: CIV: Please don't call me sir in here. It's just us. So what did you find out? ::Goes to sit in her chair.::

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: Actually, there was nothing all to informative. The two currently on service ships were mostly assembled at Beta Antares, with parts being constructed at Utopia Planitia

CMO_Calahan says:
::tosses her head to clear her face of the lock of hair and continues to examine the body, going off what she remembers from the report:: CNS: I did not like the style of the report.....so I recreated it. ::continues working, hoping the level of comfort she feels in this setting doesn't.....startle.....the CNS, as it usually does people::

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: Furthermore, there have been no reports of missing nor stolen parts of the ships weapons systems. It just adds to the mistery, Alara

CNS_Azhure says:
::Leans back against one of the tables::  CMO:  The hydra's I take it?  There is something about their deaths that bother you?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Can't help grinning at him at the deliberate use of her first name.:: CIV: So a dead end?

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::considers something:: CTO: Mister Nimitz, have we established that the Prometheius-like vessel is in fact not one of the two Promethius Class vessels in service?

CMO_Calahan says:
::shrugs and continues, walkign to the head of the table::

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: For now, the only link we have is the specific type of tanker attacked. I've set up an algorithm to try and match what kind of non-Starfleet weaponry could have been set to ressemble the Prometheus' weapons

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: If that is indeed the case, someone trying to act on desguise, I can only wonder why they are going to this lengh of trouble

CNS_Azhure says:
::Quietly lets the woman work, as she uses her own perception to see if she can detect anything out of the ordinary.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: That's a fact, Cmdr. Starbase 384 informed they are several sector away from this one.

CMO_Calahan says:
::straightens up and sighs:: Comp: Computer, recreate this body face down..... ::she looks up at the CNS, her eye twitches slightly and she blinks.....::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::crosses one leg over the other and sits back in the center chair:: CTO: Perhaps we should establish communications with them ... confirm their present locations.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CSO: Any luck with the comparision you were doing?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods her head and thinks for a moment.:: CIV: What happens to frieghters once they're sold off? ::Sighs:: That's probably another dead end, only bigger. Nevermind. Let me know if your research shows any results. About this other matter...

Host CO_Rya says:
CIV: I just received a message saying you've been transferred yet again.

CIV_Vekh says:
::wonders if he should tell her about the Trojan Horse or not::

CMO_Calahan says:
::looks back down at the body, then pauses:: CNS: You are a doctor, correct?

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: It would take several days, even weeks. We decided it would be of any help while you were on the Hydra.

CNS_Azhure says:
CMO:  I am certified on many levels, yes.

CIV_Vekh says:
::his thoughts are interrupted by her last sentence:: CO: What? You are definitively kidding me this time. It's now wise to kid an Orion you know

CSO_Llewellyn says:
XO: My appologies sir... I have been distracted by... additional requests. ::goes back to the window with the other information:: No. I don't see a pattern here. I wonder.... if the orions attacked these three times and the breen did a fourth...  do you think the Breen could have hired the Orions to do the job for them and got impatient?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Smiles at him.:: CIV: No and yes I know that. Luckily for us you'll still be on the Europa. You've ::Grins at him:: been accepted into the Diplomatic Corps.

CMO_Calahan says:
:;nods and picks up a scalpel:: CNS: Good...then this won't bother you.... ::makes a cut with the precision of a highly skilled surgeon, next to the spine and running halfway down::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::considers that:: CSO: Anything's possible, Lieutenant .... but their's no significance differences between the Type 4, 5, and 6 Deuterium tankers?

CMO_Calahan says:
::ignores the fake blood that oozes with the spinal fluid and peels back the skin to examine the spine....she sighs..::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Walks around the body, quietly observing.  Quietly::  CMO: The crew are becoming apprehensive.  There are any number of rumors going about that there is a ship that is undectable and can fire weapons while being unseen.  How did the doctor say these men died?

CMO_Calahan says:
Computer: Computer....magnify the section of the spine visible to be now....detail on the nerves and spinal tissue....

Host CO_Rya says:
CIV: I'm sure there's a message waiting for you but I didn't see a point in you having to wait until you're off duty.

CIV_Vekh says:
::eyes open wide:: CO: Imzadi! ... but that are wonderful news ::is really pleased with it:: When did orders came through?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Smiles back at him:: CIV: I'm glad it makes you happy Shannyat. The orders showed up on my desk just a little while ago. It takes effect immediately.

CMO_Calahan says:
::narrows her eyes slightly....what is she? a vulture?:: CNS: From electroplasma burns to over 75% of their bodies. THe spinal tissue and nerves.. :;points to the hoographic magnification:: were severely damaged. ::sighs, voice softer:: Even I could not have saved them.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
XO: Sir, I was not considering type 4 and 6 since they were not attacked. Um... here's another thought.... if all of them were assembled in the same place, maybe each of them had a piece of something else within them that needed to be assembled. Again... just a thought

CNS_Azhure says:
CMO:  Burns caused by?

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: Very well. Great news indeed ::his thoughts wander for a couple seconds then he gets off his reverie:: Anyway...there's this Trojan Horse idea, KTracht, Nimitz and I have been discussing

CMO_Calahan says:
::rolls her neck in a circle:: CNS: They were standing too close to a power relay when it blew. What doesn't make sense to me.....::shakes her head, looking back down from the ceiling:: I'm just going on what the reports say.

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO&CSO: We should also consider the possibiliy that not all five attacks are related.

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::nods at the thought from Nimitz::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Blinks at the change in topic and then leans forward, intrigued.:: CIV: And what's your idea?

CNS_Azhure says:
CMO:  What doesn't make sense is...?

CMO_Calahan says:
::shakes her head, takign a step back to finish looking over the spine::

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles:: CTO: Of course. ::notes the federation only uses type 5:: XO: The Federation only uses type 5 tankers.

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: It's about the dead-ends we are getting into one after another...

CNS_Azhure says:
::Noting the doctor does not answer, observes the other body.::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods and indicates he should continue.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::sighs and finishes up her brief examination and walks to the console making notes::

Host XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::has trouble believing the purpose behind the attacks is to disable the Federation's supply of deuterium::

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: Our proposal is that - if anything else fails - we take a tanker ourselves and act as bait for the attackers

CMO_Calahan says:
::looks over at the CNS and smirks to herself:: CNS: So....humans are not too different from animals, eh?

CMO_Calahan says:
::continues making notes on the first patient, then moves to the next one, standing across from the CNS::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles::  CMO:  Mammals are mammals.  The basic parts are the same.  It is where they are located, the size and numbers which seem to vary.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks out the window while she considers the idea. It has a lot of appeal but she needs to look at it from all sides first.:: CIV: We're on our way to a tanker that is potentially the one we're looking for, correct?

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: we are headed there yes, however confirmation is not certain at this distance yet

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The Europa is 1 hour away from the system where the tanker is.

Host CO_Rya says:
CIV: Work with Lt. Nimitz and Lt. K'Tracht to come up with a realistic plan of how this trojan horse would work in reality.

CMO_Calahan says:
::laughs lightly as she follows the same procedure with this body and stands, sighing, and looking at both bodies, face returning to its previously neutral (if slightly irritated) look::

CMO_Calahan says:
Self: He was standing behind the other... Computer: Computer, rotate this body to the position of the first one.

CSO_Llewellyn says:
::keeps an eye on the sensors::

CIV_Vekh says:
CO: Will do, Imzadi. Is that all for now?

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks to the other side of the bed and examines the burn pattern...with her hand she flakes off some of the charred sking and runs her finger on the border between the second and third degree burns::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Stands up.:: CIV: Yes. I'll walk back out with you.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Steps aside so not to be in the way::

CIV_Vekh says:
::walks to the door, causing them to open, and waits for the Captain to exit first::

Host MikeyS says:
