[17:08] <Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

[17:09] <XO_Durron> ::sitting at a console in main engineering keeping half an eye on a sensor feed from the bridge::

 [17:10] <CTO_Lingn> ::massages Hali's shoulders as he monitors his console::

[17:10] <CO_Farrel> ::On the bridge sitting center chair.  She looks to the helm, counselor's spot, and XO's console.:: CTO,CSO: Where the hell is everyone...

[17:10] <CSO_Halsey> ::scanning the rendezvous point::

[17:11] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Your favorite Person, Durron is in Main Engineering. Cushwa and Kami are in the FCO's quarters...~~~

 [17:12] <CO_Farrel> ~~~CTO: You have proof Cushwa's in the FCO's quarters?~~~  ::Taps the comm. on her armrest.:: *XO* Commander Durron, report to the bridge.

[17:13] <XO_Durron> ::looks up from the console::*CO* I am on my way.

[17:13] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: We had a visual confirmation of it...~~~

[17:13] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: I figured you wanted to deal with the Matter personally...~~~

[17:14] <CO_Farrel> CSO: What's up ahead Commander?  ~~~CTO: I do.  I wonder if this is revenge because she ate his finger...  Who saw them?~~~

[17:14] <XO_Durron> ::turns to the technician who was standing by:: EO: See that this is installed properly and calibrated.  If it falls out of alignment it will be a long cold trip back.

[17:15] <XO_Durron> ::stands and makes for the turbolift and orders it to the bridge::

[17:15] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Patton's brother, Julius... ~~~

[17:16] <CO_Farrel> ::Hmms and looks to the empty helm and CNS chair.::  ~~~CTO: I'll have to deal with this as soon as our mission allows.~~~ 

[17:16] <XO_Durron> ::arrives on the bridge and walks quickly to one of the many empty stations::

[17:16] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: XO is now on the bridge...~~~

[17:17] <CSO_Halsey> CO: Nothing but empty space, sir.

[17:18] <CO_Farrel> ::Wonders what Durron was doing in engineering and sighs under her breath.:: XO: Commander, we need a hand at the helm.

[17:18] <XO_Durron> ::nods silently and slaves helm to a station at the rear of the bridge::

[17:19] <CO_Farrel> XO: ETA to the rendezvous point?

[17:19] <CTO_Lingn> ::lets his hands wander down Hali's uniform:: ~~~CO: Can you feel how peaceful the bridge has become?~~~

[17:19] <Frank_SM> Action: The Europa arrives at the designated coordinates.

 [17:19] <XO_Durron> ::double checks the cordinates::CO: We've arrived.

[17:20] <CO_Farrel> ~~~CTO: It's only the calm before the storm...  we're here honey better keep your hands on the weapons systems.~~~  ::Smiles::

[17:21] <CO_Farrel> XO: Slow to impulse.  Once we're at the coordinates full stop.

[17:21] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: But they feel more at place down your shirt... ~~~ ::grins and removes them::

[17:21] <XO_Durron> ::watches the CTO and CO silently for a moment considering than begins a basic slow procedure::

[17:23] <Captain_Tucker> Action: Sensors detect 3 Imperial ships, heading to these coordinates at high warp.

[17:23] <CO_Farrel> ::Looks at empty space on the viewer.::  All: They sounded urgent... ::Frowns annoyed at her inferior Terran commanders.::

[17:24] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Three Imperial Ships coming at high Warp...~~~

[17:25] <XO_Durron> ::double checks that the maneuver is being handled correctly than brings up the tactical department's duty roster curiously.  He remains ignorant of the three incoming vessels.::

[17:25] <CSO_Halsey> CO: Three Imperial Ships coming in at high warp.

[17:25] <CO_Farrel> CSO: What class are they?  ETA?

[17:25] <CO_Farrel> XO: Inform command we are at the coordinates.

[17:26] <CSO_Halsey> ::starts matching the warp signatures with known vessels::

[17:26] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: You see three ships, I see three new allies in our Campaign...~~~

[17:26] <CSO_Halsey> CO: One Akira, 2 Defiant.

[17:26] <XO_Durron> ::sends a flash signal to imperial command informing them of the Europa's arrival at the designated coordinates.::

[17:27] <CO_Farrel> ~~~CTO: In this Empire?  I wouldn't assume allies so easily...~~~  CSO: Are their weapons powered?

[17:27] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Enemies can be swayed to allies easily, all we have to know is what they want.... and who they are...~~~

[17:28] <CSO_Halsey> ::scans for weapons and shields status:: CO: Are you afraid they might attack us?

 [17:28] <CO_Farrel> CSO: No.  Just a precaution commander.

 [17:30] <CSO_Halsey> CO: No weapons or shields online on any of the them.

[17:30] <Captain_Tucker> @COM: Europa: The is the ISS Wasp.  I see you have finally made it.

[17:30] <CO_Farrel> COM: Wasp: Greetings Captain.  Yes, we've been waiting.

[17:31] <XO_Durron> ::continues going over the duty rosters studiously ignoring the view screen::

[17:31] <Captain_Tucker> @COM: Europa: CO: Captain Farrel,  I will beam over with your orders shortly.  Tucker out.

[17:32] <CO_Farrel> ::Tuckers face is replaced by the three ships.:: XO: Stand-down yellow alert.  CTO: Lower the shields.

[17:33] <CTO_Lingn> :sends an Honor Guard to the transporter room, while lowering shields:;

[17:33] <CO_Farrel> ::Sighs and straightens her uniform.::  XO: Commander, we should meet the fleet captain together.  CSO: You have the bridge...

[17:33] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Done, my lovely Mistress.~~~

[17:34] <CSO_Halsey> CO: Understood. 

[17:34] <CO_Farrel> ::Walks to the turbo and holds for Durron.:: ~~~CTO: Keep a close eye on things while I'm gone.~~~

[17:34] <XO_Durron> ::nods and follows the CO without a word::

 [17:35] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO; There is an Honor Guard in the transporter room, I sent them so you can impress our visitor. And I will keep an eye out, as always~~

[17:35] <CO_Farrel> TL: Transporter room one.

[17:35] <Captain_Tucker> Action: The Europa receives a message that there are 3 to beam over.

[17:36] <CSO_Halsey> CTO: I'd move to the main chair, but I'm afraid you'll massage me too. Self: Plus, I won't have you at my back.

[17:36] <CO_Farrel> XO: So, did you get my letter?

[17:36] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: With all due respect, my massages only go to my fiancé...

[17:37] <XO_Durron> ::nods affirmatively and continues looking at the turbolift door::

[17:39] <CSO_Halsey> CTO: Oh, no. What are you going to do now with the Captain gone? You'll have to keep your hand in your console! My goodness. Do you still remember how that thing 
works? ::smiles and pats him in the back:: CTO: I'm kidding, Lt.

[17:39] <CO_Farrel> ::Watches his silence.  She frowns slightly as the turbo arrives, and steps out walking with Durron.:: XO: Then I hope we can put this behind us... in fact I'd like to drop the charges all together.  

[17:40] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: I know. ::chuckles:: It's been so long since humor was on the bridge...

[17:41] <XO_Durron> ::watches the CO out of the corner of his eye matching her step and shrugs keeping his mouth shut even though he is pretty sure that the telepath can hear the choice words flowing through his mind::

[17:42] <CO_Farrel> ::Stops outside the Transporter room one doors and turns to Durron.:: XO: There's only one condition.  You agree not to threaten the CTO with insubordination again.  In fact, to avoid the temptation of disciplining him again, the CTO will report directly to me, unofficially of course.  ::Watches his reaction.::

[17:46] <XO_Durron> ::thinks that this is among the stupidest ideas he has heard on this boat but doesn’t say anything for a long moment than nods and says in a raspy voice.:: CO: Than keep your boy under control.  I don't like being ignored, and I don't like being undermined.  Also I can't hear your little lovers mind meld so he should be mindful of others.

[17:48] <CO_Farrel> XO: I will make sure Lingn upholds the agreement....  We'll talk more later.  I don't want to be late.  ::Enters the transporter room.::

[17:48] <XO_Durron> ::steps into the transporter room behind the CO than stands to her left with his hands at his sides remaining quiet::

[17:49] <CO_Farrel> Chief: Energize.

 [17:51] <Captain_Tucker> Action: Just as they enter the Transporter Room, three figures can be seen materializing on the pad.  Captain Tucker, with a shortly cropped goatee and cleanly shaven head, Commander Bishop, his face shaven and a buzz cut, with eyes so cold it is clear he is a dangerous man, and a very large strange looking alien.

[17:51] <CO_Farrel> ::The honor guard whistles the ranking officers arrival and stands at attention.:: Capt: Captain Tucker, welcome aboard the Europa.

[17:52] <XO_Durron> ::eyes the alien appraisingly for a moment than spends a moment looking at the Fleet Captain before he eyes the clean shaven Commander::

[17:53] <Captain_Tucker> CO: Good to be aboard Captain Farrel.

[17:54] <CO_Farrel> ::Smiles and scans all three of the newcomers telepathically covertly.:: Capt.: Shall I escort you to the bridge?

[17:57] <Captain_Tucker> CO: No, I really don't have the time.  ::Hands her a PADD:: Here are your orders.  I will be leaving Commander Bishop and H'ragth on board to explain them and accompany you.

[17:57] <CO_Farrel> Capt.: Understood captain.  ::Takes the PADD.::

[17:57] <CSO_Halsey> CTO: There hasn't been too much to joke about. 

[17:58] <CTO_Lingn> CSO:  Well. with all these power struggles, there is no room to do so...

[17:58] <XO_Durron> ::looks from Bishop to H'ragth knowing that the two are very dangerous, and likely more dangerous together...unless they could be maneuvered to plot against each 
other::

[17:59] <CO_Farrel> Capt: Then you are departing?

[17:59] <CSO_Halsey> CO: We could organize a joke contest and whoever looses is executed. That should end up power struggles, sooner or later. 

[18:00] <Captain_Tucker> ::Looks over to his XO:: Bishop: Bishop, don't kill anyone...  ::Smiles and walks back onto the transporter pad::

[18:00] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: Personally, a new system is needed. Something more reliable to encourage cooperation...

[18:01] <Captain_Tucker> Action: Captain Tucker is beamed back to the ISS Wasp.

 [18:01] <CO_Farrel> ::Knows that Tucker isn't joking.  She picks up the PADD and skims it quickly.::

[18:02] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: What’s going on down there?~~~

[18:02] <CSO_Halsey> CTO: We could have one of your female guards strip every hour no one shoots you. That's work for me ::grins::

 [18:03] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: If you want, I can  arrange for that in your quarters, for a small price, maybe?

[18:03] <CO_Farrel> ~~~CTO: Just flag officers taking their time...~~~  ALL: Interesting orders.  And how do you fit in to this plot to bomb a Klingon Dilithium mine?  ::Looks to Bishop and the alien.::

[18:04] <Cmdr_Bishop> ::Looks dejected at his last orders:: CO: Perhaps your Ready room Cap'n?

[18:05] <CSO_Halsey> CTO: Nah. Thanks anyway. But Ens. Smith here could use some action ::points at an young officer, a complete geek in charge of Sci 2::

[18:06] <CO_Farrel> ::Sees his disappointment and knows he will be dangerous to have aboard.::  Cmdr: Of course, this way.  ::Motions for them to follow and exits into the corridor, walking to the turbo.::  ~~~CTO: Do me a favor and access Commander Bishops Imperial record.  Keep things hush hush.~~~

[18:06] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Of course...~~~

[18:06] <CSO_Halsey> Smith> CSO: Aye, sir. ::lowers his head , cursing Halsey for the joke but not wanting to upset his boss::

[18:08] <CTO_Lingn> Smith: Would you like me to arrange it? All I want is a case of booze, and I will make a guard available to you for the night...

[18:08] <CO_Farrel> ::Enters the TL and after everyone is aboard.:: TL: Deck one.  

[18:09] <XO_Durron> ::steps into the TL just before the CO wondering about the two guests::

[18:09] <CSO_Halsey><SO_Smith> ::so nervous for being addressed by a senior officer. Blushes and stutters:: CTO: I..I..I..

 [18:09] <CTO_Lingn> Smith: Do you? Or don't you?

[18:11] <CSO_Halsey> <SO_Smith> CTO: I...I...I...

 [18:11] <CSO_Halsey> CTO: He can't talk well but he is one heck of comet and space dust analyst.
