Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa has been at Starbase 384 for the past 72 hours.  Due to the damage on the station, restocking has been slow, but now she's ready to get underway.

CTO_Hexx says:
*TO*: Ensign, meet the cap'n and I in the transporter room would ya please?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Wonderful job you've been doing over the past few days... I just thought I'd let you know I appreciate your hard work.

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Thank You Sir.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Steps out of the turbolift and walks over to the helm, sits at it as it is vacant::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Takes his PADD with him to go over the restocking list for engineering::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: All: carry on... I'll be on the station if you need me.

TO_Grey-feather says:
*CTO*: Aye sir on my way. :: gets up and heads out of the mess hall for the docking ring ::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
TL: Transporter room one.

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@::Sitting in his makeshift office aboard the station, waiting for Captain Llewellyn::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Rides the Turbolift with the CO::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::arrives in the transporter room:: TR Chief: Transport us to the assigned coordinates on the station.... when everyone arrives.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: You really expect 'em to give us any answers?

FCO_Voraye says:
::Monitors various helm-like activities::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: No... but it would ease my conscious to at least try.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: You know what would be great right now? Chicago Style Deep Dish Sausage and Pepperoni.

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: quickly enters TR :: CO/CTO: Ensign Grey-feather reporting as ordered

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles:: TO: Excellent....  ::steps up onto the pad::

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Oh yes.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Chuckles at the Ensign's somewhat faded British Accent::

CEO_McGregor says:
FCO: Do all flight control instruments check out ok for when we depart ?

TO_Grey-feather says:
::steps onto the pad behind the CTO and CO ::

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: Everything's go on my panel.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Steps up on the pad::  TO: Keep your eyes open Ensign, not sure what we might learn on this little jaunt.  I'll explain on the way.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
Chief: Energize.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: And how is your section ?

Host Captain_Talmut says:
Action: The group beams over to the stain TR room.

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO: Operations is good as ever sir.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS/FCO: Good I wanna be able to get out of here as soon as the word is given

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::materializes on the station:: Station TR Chief: Where is Captain Talmut's Office?

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: You know, sir. We could leave right now. I don't think anyone would notice....

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Arrives on the station and looks around the room.::

TO_Grey-feather says:
@:: Materializes on the station's pad, waits for instructions ::

CEO_McGregor says:
FCO: I think the Captain would notice

OPS_Clemons says:
::Chuckles at the Idea of leaving the CO, CTO, and TO::

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: Only slightly. But she's resourceful, she'd catch up. You've gotta give her that.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: I dunnot think the Captain would think that very funny

Host Captain_Talmut says:
Action: The Transporter Chief gives the Captain the information, even pointing everything out on a map.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::gets instructions and leads the tactical people out of the room to arrive (eventually) at Talmut's office::

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: And I would not think the brig would be funny either

FCO_Voraye says:
::Blinks, taken aback::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Explains about the Starbase explosion, the mysterious Commander Adams, the missing admiral etc.::

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO: I didn’t mean it like that sir, I just thought.... ::stops mid sentence and is quiet::

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: listens to the background information ::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::arrives at Talmut's office and rings the chime::
FCO_Voraye says:
::Lowers voice:: OPS: I have a theory, you're not really at home on a ship until you've been scolded by a higher up at least once.

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@::Looks up at the door:: CO: Enter.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Chuckles:: OPS: No worries lad, there's been a few times I've wondered about leavin' the landin' party behind, and had a good belly laugh thinkin' about it

OPS_Clemons says:
::looks around the bridge:: CEO: Guess I'm home then huh?

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: I'd say so.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: Aye laddie Aye....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::enters:: Talmut: It is good to  meet you... thank you for meeting with us. ::smiles and extends her hand::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Follows the CO inside, looks around the room then stands nearby, more or less at attention.::

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@::Watches as the group enters, motioning them to sit down:: All: Have a seat, would anyone like a cup of coffee? ::Takes Heather’s hand and shakes it::

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: I can guess why you have requested this meeting...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods:: Talmut: Yes. Cream and sugar, please. ::sits down::

TO_Grey-feather says:
@:: Enters behind the CTO and CO.  Stands at attention in the back.  watching everything::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@Talmut: I imagine so... please up date me as to what's gone on with the investigation... if you can.

Host Captain_Talmut says:
Action: A yeoman comes and pours coffee for those who want it.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods her thanks to the yeoman::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Accesses his personal files on the helm panel and brings up his piano blueprints to look over then in the spare time::

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: Well, as you can guess I've been getting some flak from Command about this whole mess.  I do have some information that you might be interested in though... strictly off the record.

OPS_Clemons says:
:: hums Stairway to Heaven, and forms the chords to the song as if he were playing on an invisible guitar::

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS/FCO: Lads, what is it you two like to do on your free time?

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: I'm a musician.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::leans in showing he has her undivided attention:: Talmut: Yes?

OPS_Clemons says:
OPS: Me too, Guitar is my specialty.

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/OPS: I play piano. Coming up on 28 years playing.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Listens intently, while studying the fascinating picture of fruit on one wall behind the Captain.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ ::senses Talmut's frustration, and feels for him, she too is frustrated::

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: And you, sir? What is it you do in your free time?

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: Well the USS Ferguson... is listed as destroyed during the Dominion War.  Commander Harrison was the XO... and there was a young Lieutenant named Adams on board also.

TO_Grey-feather says:
@:: Stands in the back of the room listening and trying to figure out why the CTO is interested in a cheap painting ::

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO/CEO: I've been playing since I was 10, My pride and joy is my Gibson Les Paul, signed by the famous John Lennon, a 20-21st century player and former Beatle.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ Talmut: Oh my. They both seemed quite real to me... I doubt they are ghosts.

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@::Brings up pictures of them on his console and turns it to the CO:: CO: Are these two the ones you met?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods:: Talmut: Yes they are.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS/FCO: I enjoy climbing, I also play the guitar...And sippin' fine Scotch

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO: Ahhh, All fine  past times

FCO_Voraye says:
::Nods::

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: Then they must be ghosts... do you have any idea of what I had to go through to get this information.  There's someone protecting them from high places for sure.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS/FCO: We'll have to get together and play some fine music some time

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/OPS: Indeed.

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO/FCO: That we shall

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ ::nods:: Talmut: I understand. As we are speaking off the record... do you think this could be a cell of 'The Storm' ?

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: It could be, but if it is... well they've infiltrated Command at far higher levels than we thought.

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/OPS: I've actually been thinking about bringing my Piano down to The Spot and playing every now and then. Save the fact that it's terribly difficult to move a Grande Piano around.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods:: Talmut: That is a disturbing thought. ::senses he shares her concern::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ Talmut: What do you think we can do about it? Anything?

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS/FCO: Let’s make sure the ship is ready to go as soon as the Captain arrives, FCO Set standard patrol course, OPS: Allocate power to engine systems

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: Aye, sir. I have several standard patrol routes in the queue ready for execution upon command.

OPS_Clemons says:
:: turns his chair to his console and sits up straight:: CEO: Aye, ::taps his console:: Power to Engines, Sir.

CEO_McGregor says:
*Engineering* Lads lets begin full engine warm up, I want us to be ready to leave at a minutes notice

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::resolves within herself to do what she can to see this conspiracy exposed no matter what it is called::

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: Well, if you send anything up the line to Starfleet Command, they'll not allow it.  But if I were you, I'd look for that Peregrine, and the Ferguson while you’re "on patrol".  I've managed to pull a few strings and get you a route assigned that will take you by their last know location.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS/FCO: very well lads

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/FCO: Another place that I think would be good to play is the rear crew lounge on Deck 18. It's just a breezeway lounge in-between a few crew quarters, but the lighting seems to be dimmer there than anywhere else and it has a particularly unobstructed view.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ Talmut: I agree. Thank you. Has any additional information come to light about evidence that has been found here? Such as who planted the bomb? Did anyone claim responsibility for it?

CEO_McGregor says:
FCO: Aye but how are the acoustics there

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: Have yet to find out.

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/OPS: One of the projects I'm about to start is I'm building an upright piano from scratch. Should be a bit easier to move around. After it's finished I intend to find out exactly how good the acoustics are.

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: No.  Which is odd in itself.  If this were a political statement someone would have claimed it was for the "so and so front".  I, again off the record, think someone wanted to take out Edwards.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS/FCO: How about we try with guitars first ?

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/OPS: Might be a bit better.

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO/FCO: I suppose

CEO_McGregor says:
FCO: That sounds like an interesting project

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: It is. I designed the plans myself and I'm going to do all the fabrication and construction by hand.

TO_Grey-feather says:
@:: leans forward and whispers to Hexx :: CTO: Sir if there was a bombing shouldn't we scan the Europa's hull before departing?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::Nods:: Talmut: Again I thank you. Now the Europa is fully restocked, we'll be heading out on our new patrol route. ::smiles:: Was there anything else you wish to tell me before we... ::sly smile to her two officers:: go hunting?

CEO_McGregor says:
<EO Lanyard> *CEO*: Standard engine warm up in process, Lieutenant.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Whispers back::  The bombing happened weeks ago, but it's not a bad idea.

CEO_McGregor says:
FCO: A'd like to see that. Indeed ah would

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO: Soon, sir. Very soon.

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CO: Well I said I pulled a few strings... There will be someone meeting you with your Orders.  This one is just as important as finding the Ferguson, so I don't want you to think it's a ruse... but it'll put you in the same area, so I figured you could handle both.

CEO_McGregor says:
*EO Lanyard* Inform me as soon as warm up is complete

TO_Grey-feather says:
@:: quietly :: CTO: I will see to it, with your permission sir?

CEO_McGregor says:
*Lanyard*: Acknowledged

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods:: Understood. ::Stands:: I appreciate it.

CTO_Hexx says:
@TO: In a second.

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@::Stands with the three:: All: Good hunting.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods:: Talmut: Thank you. ::turns to the CTO and TO:: TO/CTO: Anything you boys have to add or ask before we go?

CTO_Hexx says:
@CO: Not really ma'am.  However, maybe if the target was Edwards, excuse me sir, ma'am, Admiral Edwards, then we should look at his record, who he might have ticked off within Starfleet...that sorta thing.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods:: CTO: Agreed. Think you can do that or would you need some higher clearance?

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@CTO: I'll se to it you have the clearance, at least as much as I can get...

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: You've gotten Stairway To Heaven stuck in my head now.

TO_Grey-feather says:
::stands listening :

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods:: Talmut: my crew and I are truly in your debt. Let me know if there is anything we can do for you. ::smiles::

OPS_Clemons says:
::smiles:: FCO: It's an addictively good song, ya know.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: Does engineering show full engine warm up yet?

Host Captain_Talmut says:
@::Smiles back at the CO:: CO: Catch some of the bastards that did this...

CTO_Hexx says:
@CO/ CO: Thank you.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Addictive and long. If memory serves me correctly, the sheets are about 12 pages. Not very complex, however.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ Talmut: I fully intend to! Alright then... back to patrol, we have a small raptor to catch.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Snorts::  All; Hell, sir, I figger to catch 'em all!  ::Looks at Greyfeather::

OPS_Clemons says:
::checks engines on console:: CEO: Warm up is complete sir.

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: We'll need warp capability as well

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Long yes, 12 I think is right, however I've got it memorized so I haven’t checked lately.

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO: Aye Sir.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::motions to her two officers to exit the room, as she is leaving:: Talmut: Thank you again.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: That's admirable right there. Takes a good bit of trying to memorize an oldie like that.

TO_Grey-feather says:
@:: stands a little taller :: All : Aye :: then steps back realizing he just put his foot in his mouth next to his enthusiasm

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: Let’s also be sure weapons systems have available power

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: OH yea, Zeppelin was good for long usually impossible memory song, however, if given enough practice it can be done

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::leads them back to the transporter room they came from::

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO: Of course Sir. weapons are of the essence.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Follows her out.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::asks the TR Chief to beam them over to the Europa::

TO_Grey-feather says:
@:: Follows his superiors to the TR::

OPS_Clemons says:
:: Initiates Matter/Anti-Matter Core, and routes power to weapons.:: CEO: Warp core is up and Weapons are online, sir.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@*CEO*: We are on our way back to the Europa and will be there momentarily....

CEO_McGregor says:
OPS: No need to be on line ,just allocate proper power... Take weapons off line

OPS_Clemons says:
CEO: Yes sir.  ::takes weapons offline::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* Aye Captain, the ship is ready to depart at your order.

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
Action: The team is beamed back to the Europa.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::arrives in her own transporter room:: CTO/TO: Let's get back to the bridge and get going....

CTO_Hexx says:
TO: Go ahead with that scan.

TO_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Aye sir

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::strides purposefully down the hall to the lift and presses the button::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Follows the CO::

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: follows the CO and CTO to the bridge ::

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/OPS: I have some tablature I think you'd like

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::enters the lift and lets everyone come in:: TL: Bridge.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Really? whatcha got?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::arrives on the bridge with the CTO and TO::

CEO_McGregor says:
ALL: Captain on the bridge

FCO_Voraye says:
CEO/OPS: It's a piece Bach wrote for piano, but it sounds better on Acoustic. It's called Sarabande.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: I'd like to request we delay our departure for a minute, give Greyfeather time to do his scan.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::starts to walk to her command chair and there is a hiccup in her stride as the CEO says that:: Self: I do not think I'll ever get used to that....

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: exits the TL behind the CTO and CO, heads to the tactical console to begin scanning the ships hull for explosive devices ::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Chuckles hearing the Ensign's British "Whatcha"::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Very good. Let me know when he is done and we'll get under weigh.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Stands::

CEO_McGregor says:
CO: The ship is ready to depart captain ,all power has been allocated

OPS_Clemons says:
::receives a message on his console:: CO: It seems there is someone wanting so see you Sir, he is waiting the transporter room.  The chief is getting aggravated with him.

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: begins scanning :: CTO : Sir the scan will be completed shortly

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Who is he? And where is he?

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: I do not know who he is sir, but he is waiting in the Transporter room.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Well I wish I'd known before  I got here...  hm....

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: We could beam him to the bridge.

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Yes sir, that would have been helpful.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Care to take the bridge while I go talk to this fellow? FCO: I don't want people I do not know on my bridge...

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Good point.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Have the Chief beam Hexx and myself down there.

CEO_McGregor says:
CO: Yes sir, I'll take her

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at the CEO::

OPS_Clemons says:
::Initiates transport:: CO/CTO: Transporting.

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
Action: The CO and CTO are beamed to the TR.

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
::Turns to the transporter chief:: TRChief: Look I need to see the Captain, and if I wanted any crap outta you, I'd squeeze your head. ::Turns and sees the Captain and CTO materialize::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::not pleased with what she just heard, but puts on her diplomatic face::

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
CO: Ahhhh, Skipper.  Got some orders for ya.  ::Hands her a PADD::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
Bishop: I am Captain Llewellyn, may I ask... ::stops as he speaks and takes the PADD:; who are you?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks over the PADD::

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
CO: I'm Bishop... Executive Officer of the USS Wasp.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods as she continues to read:: Bishop: Nice to meet you.

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: finishes the tactical scan :: *CTO*: Sir the scan is complete

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at her CTO, wishing he were telepathic::

CTO_Hexx says:
*TO*: Understood.

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
::Looks at the CTO:: CO: Who's this?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Stands next to the CO, impassive.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
Bishop: Why are you giving me these orders? ::knows that Talmut said to look for them, but wants confirmation, hears his question:: This is my chief tactical officer, Mister Hexx.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Awaits a course order::

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: stands at the tactical station readying the systems for departure ::

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
CO: Well, the Wasp is the ship in charge of the Task force that... ummm handles such matters.  I really can’t say any more, but the info you need is all there.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at him:: Bishop: Where would you like us to beam you back to?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
Bishop: Or is there more you need to tell me?

CEO_McGregor says:
TO: Is tactical up to snuff Mr. Grey-feather?

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
CO: No, guess I'll go back to the station.

TO_Grey-feather says:
CEO: I see you transferred some of the weapons  power to the engines, but other than that all lights are green.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: TRChief: Beam him back please. Bishop: Thank you.

CEO_McGregor says:
TO: I have made sure that OPS has allocated proper power to weapons systems

Host LtCmdr_Bishop says:
CTO: Oh yeah, one thing you might want to know.  If you meet anyone, uhhh unfriendly, hit em hard and fast.  It's the only chance you'll have.  :: Disappears with those words::

TO_Grey-feather says:
CEO: I will do a reset on status levels and we should be ready to rock sir :: grins ::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::sees him dematerialize:: CTO: Well? What do you think? ::hands him the PADD with the orders on it::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*FCO*: Head us out on our new patrol route....

CEO_McGregor says:
TO: Very well

FCO_Voraye says:
*CO* Aye. ::Plots new patrol route and hits engage making the ship go Vroom at Warp 5.39::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: ::Looks at the PADD::  Well ma'am, this is above my pay grade, but I'd say we're a mighty small calf in a really big pasture.  And there's a lotta big ol' bulls out there.  If'n ya get my drift ma'am.

TO_Grey-feather says:
*CTO*: Sir defensive and offensive systems in the green, ready for action

CTO_Hexx says:
*TO*: Understood, we're on our way.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CTO: Indeed. ::sighs:: It's never easy... ah well such is the life of a Starfleet Captain... I knew the job was dangerous when I took it... ::wry smile::
