Official Mission Transcript

17:02] <Frank_SM> The USS Europa has been ordered to investigate some possible Warp signatures in an uncharted region of space.  They have just received those orders and are preparing to get underway.

[17:02] <Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

[17:02] <CTO_Lingn> :: in his office::

[17:03] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::steps out of the Turbolift, and yawns.  Than takes a drink from the Coffee mug in his right hand while going over the orders on a PADD in his left::

[17:04] <CO_Farrel> ::Steps onto the bridge, wearing the light gray captain's jacket.  She's holding a PADD clasped behind her back, and pauses, looking out over the bridge.::

 [17:04] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::looks around the bridge and blinks than walks around towards the center chair::

[17:04] <CIV_Chitwa> ::yawns and stretches, waking up from her nap under the big chair::

 [17:05] <CSO_Enki> ::Rests quietly in her office::

 [17:06] <CTO_Lingn> :: sends someone to do his alpha shift to avoid going on the Bridge::

[17:08] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::spots the CO and glances around the bridge again::

[17:08] <CIV_Chitwa> ::wipes her face and looks up at the XO and CO::

[17:09] <CO_Farrel> ::Sees the tac console manned by an unfamiliar ensign, and clears her throat.:: AFCO: Helm, set a course on 024 mark 35, warp 9.  Engage!

[17:09] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton>::arrives on the bridge::

[17:10] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton> ::takes the Tactical Station::

[17:11] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Guilder>CO: Aye sir ::inputs the course and engages at warp nine::

[17:11] <CO_Farrel> AXO: Morning...

[17:12] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sighs and yawns again::

[17:12] <Frank_SM> Action:  Even as the Europa moves to warp, Long Range Sensor data is still inconclusive.  The Anomalies may be warp signatures, or they may not...

[17:12] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> CO: Morning? oh right.  Sorry sir. Good Morning.

[17:12] <CTO_Lingn> ::sleeps in his office::

 [17:13] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton> CO: Nothing to really report here Ma'am.

[17:13] <CIV_Chitwa> ::feels the ship go to warp and shivers::

[17:14] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::walks to the MSD and looks it over, takes another drink from his coffee and looks at his PADD again::

[17:14] <CO_Farrel> ::Taking her chair, she looks back to the TO and nods.  She then looks to Durron.:: XO: Commander, isn't Mr. Lingn suppose to be on duty now?

[17:15] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton> CO: I am taking over his shift. His orders.

[17:16] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::looks at the TO::CO: It would appear so. I'll look into it.

[17:17] <CTO_Lingn> *SEC*: All Entry way's to my office are to be closed. I don't care if you post guards, keep people out of this office.

[17:17] <CO_Farrel> AXO: Thank-you...  ::sighs slightly and looks down.::  CIV: Are you tired?

 [17:18] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::walks to the observation lounge::*Sickbay* Has lieutenant Lingn reported ill?

[17:18] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks up:: CO: Hi Padwufi. I'm a little tirrred. Did you need something?

[17:19] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <Nurse>*AXO* not to my knowledge, sir.  Would you like me to check?

 [17:20] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Well... how familiar are you with the bridge consoles?  Do you know enough to man one?

[17:21] <CIV_Chitwa> CO: Depends on which console.

[17:21] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Which ones are you familiar with?

[17:21] <CTO_Lingn> ::sends another email to the XO, informing him of the shift changes::

[17:21] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::walks over to one of the communications consoles and checks for messages::*Nurse* That won't be necessary, Thank you.

[17:22] <CIV_Chitwa> CO: Well I can worrrk in Sickbay and I know how to worrrk the FCO console.

[17:23] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::spots the incoming message and reviews it, than considers refusing the shift change but thinks better of it.::*CTO*May I ask the reason for your shift change?

[17:23] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Well this would be a good time to practice... would you like to man the helm?

[17:23] <CIV_Chitwa> CO: I can? ::big happy sparklie eyes::

[17:23] <CTO_Lingn> ::wakes up annoyed:: *XO*: Personal reasons.

[17:24] <CTO_Lingn> ::goes back to sleep in his cot::

[17:24] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Yes...  

[17:24] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Guilder>::looks at the CO and the cadet in mock horror::

[17:25] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> *CTO* Very well. ::stops and smiles to himself:: *CTO* The captain asked about you.

[17:25] <CSO_Enki> ::One of her SOs comes in and brings a PADD for her to look at - an ongoing project.  She takes the PADD and has her SO take a seat with her::

[17:25] <CIV_Chitwa> ::giggles happily and hops out from under the chair and trots over to the FCO console with a big grin, wagging her tail::

[17:25] <CTO_Lingn> *XO*: Very well. ::puts the pillow over his head::

[17:26] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Guilder>::nods to the captain, stands up and lets the cadet at the controls than walks over to a secondary console to monitor the course::

[17:26] <CTO_Lingn> :;hopes it drowns out the sounds of the comm.::

[17:26] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sits down in her chair and spins around once, then begins checking out the console::

[17:26] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::considers several courses of action than thinks better of it and returns to the bridge::

[17:27] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::looks at the cadet at the helm than looks at the Captain than at Guilder and says quietly:: AFCO: They teamed up on you didn't they?

[17:28] <CO_Farrel> CIV: What's our ETA dear?

[17:29] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Guilder>::gulps:: AXO: Um, yes sir.

[17:29] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins at all the pretty buttons:: CO: Ummm, lemmee see....still two days.

[17:30] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Guilder>::checks the ETA and nods than looks at the XO::

[17:31] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> AFCO: Very good.  Carry on what you were doing.  She's good but keep an eye on her.

[17:31] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Alright... maintain course.

 [17:32] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Guilder>AXO: Yes sir. ::watches the inputs and mostly waits::

[17:32] <CIV_Chitwa> ::nods:: CO: Okay Padwufi

[17:33] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::walks up to the MSD again and takes an other drink from his coffee and slips the PADD into his pocket.::

[17:33] <CO_Farrel> XO: So, what did you find out?

[17:33] <Frank_SM> Action: Flight sensors indicate a subspace instability in the current path of the Europa, a course correction will be needed.

[17:34] <CIV_Chitwa> Self: Ooop... ::thinks:: Hmmm.... ::looks over the buttons:: Self: What did Mrrr. Vorrraye tell me to do?

[17:35] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> CO: He switched to the grave yard  shift.  His said it was for personal reasons.

 [17:36] <CIV_Chitwa> Self: Ah! ::taps quickly on the console:: CO: Captain, therrre is a subspace instability in ourrr path, adjusting courrrse to avoid it. ::tries to sound professional::

[17:37] <CO_Farrel> AXO: I see...  ::Frowns::

[17:37] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Guilder>::watches the course correction with detached interest::

[17:37] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Acknowledged.

[17:38] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins:: Self: I am so cool. ::giggles under her breath::

[17:39] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> CO: Is there something I should know about sir?

[17:40] <CO_Farrel> AXO: Not really...

[17:41] <CIV_Chitwa> ::perks ears:: AXO: She had a.... ::sees the look on the CO's face:: Ummmm nothing..

[17:41] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton>::listens with interest::

[17:41] <Frank_SM> Action: As the Europa turns away from the subspace anomaly, the warp signatures detected begin to grow fainter.

[17:42] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton>::Warp Signatures are growing fainter::

[17:42] <CTO_Lingn> <delete last>

[17:42] <CO_Farrel> ::Hmms and notices ensign Patton lean his ear forward.:: AXO: Why do you ask?

[17:42] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton> CO: Warp Signatures are growing fainter.

[17:43] <CO_Farrel> TO: Are the signatures stationary?

[17:43] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::is standing down the steps from the captain's chair:: CO: I see. ::looks at the CIV with a raised eyebrow and nods:: CO: Just a feeling.  We all saw him ask you to dinner yesterday... ::stops and looks at the TO, than considers reminding the tactical officer of the chain of command, but thinks better of that also::

[17:44] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton> CO: No Sir.

[17:46] <CO_Farrel> AXO: Hmm, well know that I think about it... he did mention he had some work to catch-up on...  ::pokes some of the button on the command console, not really accessing anything in particular.::

[17:46] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::walks over to a secondary science station than examines the readings from the warp signatures and makes sure that the main computer is logging them and stifles another yawn::

[17:46] <CO_Farrel> <<EDIT know=now, button=buttons>>

[17:46] <CO_Farrel> TO: Are they moving away for us?

[17:46] <CIV_Chitwa> ::gets confused and sighs::

[17:48] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Gilder>::Walks over to the cadet:: CIV: Everything under control?

[17:48] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks up:: AFCO: Yeah, I'm okay.

[17:49] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::quietly sends a message to TO Patton's console, politely reminding him of the chain of command::

[17:50] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton> ::accidentally deletes the message::

[17:50] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Gilder>Civ: That sigh leads me to think otherwise.

[17:51] <CIV_Chitwa> AFCO: Oh...I was just...it...just confusing is all.

[17:51] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton>CO: There are several warp signatures moving in different directions, sensors indicate that they might be ships, but are inconclusive about that.

[17:52] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::glares at the TO for a moment than schools his expression and walks slowly over to the TO's station and looks at the data::

[17:52] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Gilder>::smiles reassuringly::CIV: What in particular?

[17:53] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton> ::ignores the glare::

[17:53] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Helm, do you think your ready for a slightly more complicated course?  Lock onto the closest signature, and engage a intercept course...

[17:53] <CIV_Chitwa> ::blushes:: AFCO: Well I would think that if you had a date, you'd be happy about it....I know I would.

[17:54] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks up:: CO: Yes Captain, I can do it.

[17:54] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::takes a secondary tactical station very close to the TO's station, and views the different signatures::

[17:54] <CO_Farrel> ::Nods, out of earshot of the CIV's and AFCO's personal conversation.::

[17:55] <CTO_Lingn> ::arrives on the bridge::

[17:55] <CTO_Lingn> ::walks in the shadows::

[17:56] <CO_Farrel> ::Hears the lift in the back open, but remains facing the viewer.::

[17:56] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO>::Stops for a moment than tries to figure out what he asked that got that answer, figures it out and mentally kicks himself but keeps smiling:: CIV: People express happiness in different ways.

[17:56] <CTO_Lingn> :;hides out of view::

[17:57] <CIV_Chitwa> ::taps on her console:: AFCO: Oh. I think I would act differrrently is all. ::glances back up at him, then quickly looks away, blushing::

[17:57] <Frank_SM> Action: Several, smaller, subspace disturbances are detected in the path of the Europa.  They are nearly undetectable, and should be easy to avoid, and no danger to the ship.

[17:58] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Gilder>Civ: Well if I were you I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Worry about keeping the ship intact...for now.  If you want help with your other questions ask me when we are off duty.

[17:59] <CIV_Chitwa> ::nods:: AFCO: Okay. Thanks. ::smiles and twitches her tail::

[18:00] <CTO_Lingn> ::takes over his station, and does not look anywhere else::

[18:01] <CTO_Lingn> <TO_Patton>::leaves::

[18:01] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::watches the CTO and TO switch places, sees  the confusion on the TO's face than shrugs::

[18:03] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> <AFCO_Gilder>::looks at the Helm:: Civ: you might want to avoid those...looks like some type of subspace disturbance.  Would probably scratch the paint and commander Durron would kill me if I let that happen.

[18:03] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::says quietly:: CTO: I see you decided to join us.

[18:03] <CIV_Chitwa> AFCO: I know ::Tapping on her console:: I got it.

[18:03] <CTO_Lingn> ::ignores::

[18:03] <CO_Farrel> TO: Mr. Patton what's your analysis of the sig--  ::looks to her right::  Oh....

[18:04] <AXO_Cmdr_Durron> ::shrugs to the captain and looks around the bridge for an empty console::
