<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>
FCO_Kami says:
::At his station, continueing to vary the course and speed every few minutes.::
CEO_Vernius says:
::On the bridge at tactical, finishing the preparations for a possible boarding action::
CO_Durron says:
::sitting in the big chair watching the stars fly by::
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Any sensor contacts?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::brings the CO a cup of coffee:: CO: Nothing yet. ::goes back and takes her seat at OPS::
CO_Durron says:
::takes the coffee and nods to the CNS::  CNS: Thank you.  FCO: What is the ETA?
CEO_Vernius says:
::looks down when his console beeps:: CO: Cosmetic damages to the ship and modifications are complete, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::nods at the CEO:: CEO: Very good work.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Thank you, sir, but it was the entire Engineering department.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::looks over at Kami::
FCO_Kami says:
::Checks over his console.::
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Pass along my complements to your men, and women.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: About three days, sir.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CEO: Yes, I'll have synthehol sent down.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Long range sensor a vessel approaching... it is about 20 hours to intercept.
CO_Durron says:
::leans forward and holds the bridge of his nose for a moment than sits back to wait::  ALL: Have any of you ever gone fishing?
CEO_Vernius says:
::looks at the CNS strangely:: CNS: I'm not sure that's a good idea.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CEO: Well....something to celebrrate...you decide.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: I never liked fishing.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Yes, sir. I found it to be tedious, but ultimately rewarding.
CEO_Vernius says:
CNS: We have nothing to celebrate... yet.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: I used to go fishing in the village...I think they used a net.
CO_Durron says:
::nods again:: CEO: Tedious is the word for it.  CNS: How do the sensors look?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: ... But I dislike being bait, even armed bait. If you know what I mean, sir.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Therre's a vessel on a interrcept courrse...it's 20 hourrs away.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Are we able to pick up anything else at this range?
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: It looks like a carrgo ship, sirr.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, using the sensors in active mode is going to alert any would-be pirates that we may not be all that we appear to be.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Or rather, that we're more than we appear to be.
CO_Durron says:
Self: Darn.  CNS: Any escorts?
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Think about it, if your ship was hurt wouldn't you scan as soon as possible?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Of course, sir. Scanning isn't the problem, it's the power of the scan.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Not that I can tell so farr, sirr.
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: CNS: Are they on a direct intercept course?  Are they headed for us or just in our direction?
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Well, They'rre heading towarrd us....we arre in a corrridorr sirr.
CO_Durron says:
::sighs:: CNS: Well let me know if they change course. FCO/CEO: Keep up the charade.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye,aye, sir
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Of courrse, sirr.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Captain, we should also be alert for the possibility of ships lying doggo in our path.
CNS_Chitwa says:
FCO: Did you need anything, Kami?
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Once they have been in short range sensor range for a while scan them briefly, start at middle power than trickle down, than cut the scan off suddenly.  Make it look like our sensors are having problems.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: How would you suggest we do that?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Underrstood, sirr.
FCO_Kami says:
CNS: A cold drink would be nice, but other than that, I'm fine. ::Smiles.::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: The only thing we can do is keep the ship at yellow alert and shields up, sir. We won't have any warning.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: We have been at yellow alert for a long time.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: I know, sir. Perhaps we can go to a rotating schedule, with as many systems in automatic mode as possible.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Explain.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: We stand down half the crew at a time, give them time for rations, and maybe a little sleep. While we bring online the special-auto settings that can take the place of humans in emergency situations, like combat.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: The downside is that it will severely cut into the computer power we're using for the translation of Sierra-One's language
CNS_Chitwa says:
::gets up for a bit and replicates something, then brings it back to the FCO:: FCO: Herre...nice cold Rroot beerr.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: A space dock is detected on Long range sensors.  At current speed you will arrive in 41 hours.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: You can also order the CMO to inject stimulants to the crew, increasing efficiency through fatigue, but that's an emergency regimen that can only continue for 48-60 hours.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Therre's also a space dock on LRS...we'll arrive in 41 hourrs, at prresent speed.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Investigate the possibility of the first option.  Do we have a program in place that can handle the systems?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Yes, sir
CO_Durron says:
CNS: No other sensor contacts near the space dock yet?
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Nope...nothing yet. I'll let you know, sirr.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Shall I put the program into place, sir?
CO_Durron says:
CEO: I will send a program to you shortly.  I would like you to see if it works better than what is in the computers now.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, aye, sir
CO_Durron says:
::brings up his personal files and picks out a program titled 'SARAH', copies the program and forwards it to the CEO's console::
CEO_Vernius says:
::pulls up the program the Captain just sent him::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::keeping an eye on the sensors::
FCO_Kami says:
::Drinks his root beer.::
