Host Bob says:
ACTION: THE USS GENEVA IS ON ITS WAY TOWARDS THE MBERAYAL SYSTEM, WITH THE CHINESE VASE ABOARD. SEVERAL OF THE CREW ARE CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING TO FIGURE OUT THE PUZZLE OF THE VASE
CEO_McDowell says:
::still on the Bridge, in the other chair::
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::flies into the Science Lab where the Vase is::
FCO_Mikan says:
::at the helm::
CO_Shras says:
:: sitting in his ready room ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is in the science lab, having just fallen into a light slumber, and mumbling something about the "real folk blues"::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Walks into the Science Lab with a mug of coffee::
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::looks up and hoots at the CIV::
CNS_Wells says:
::On the bridge, researching the vase from his console::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::in an eerie manner, his left eye is hanging slightly open, still leering at the vase, but is actually asleep::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Finds a chair and sits:: Kandeldandel: Hoot, hoot?
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::nods and flies over to perch on the CIV's shoulder::
CEO_McDowell says:
::drumming fingers on the armrest, what with all the action on the Bridge:: FCO: How many more stars get to fly past before we arrive, you think?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::his antennae twitch this way and that unconsciously, vaguely detecting the CIV and owl without knowing it::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: I was not aware that I was supposed to keep track of them. ::grins::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Rolls around the room in the chair looking for a microscope, careful not to disturb the sleeping CTO::
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::tilts her head and looks at the CTO, then flies to a JT Hatch and taps on the panel with her beak and retrieves a small packet of candies, picks them up in her beak and flies over to the CTO, landing on his chair::
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: Seems like something we could track of at this rate... ::dry sarcasm drone::
CIV_Pierce says:
Kandeldandel: So, what do you think is the big mystery behind that vase?  ::Finds the microscope among the other equipment on the shelf::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::takes in a deep breath waking up from his short nap, then stares at the owl and her apparent present to him:: Kandeldandel: What have we here?
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: I will start counting them and extrapolate the number we have already passed... if that would help you sir.
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::tilts her head and looks at the CIV, then at the vase. Shrugs::
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::turns back to the CTO and sets the packet in his hand, then flies over to the vase and walks around it slowly::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head:: CIV: I never knew avians from your planet were so... accommodating. ::holds up the candy packet for Pierce to see::
Host Bob says:
ACTION: SINCE LEAVING STARBASE 245 AFTER HAVING MAJOR REPAIRS AND OVERHAULS COMPLETED, THIS ARCHEOLOGICAL MISSION DOUBLES AS A MAJOR SHAKEDOWN CRUISE FOR THE SHIP AND CREW
CNS_Wells says:
::Finds a letter from one Chinese guy to another, in the computers files::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::checks the time, eyes going wide, seeing as how it's almost time for the....::
CIV_Pierce says:
CTO: Me neither.  ::Places the microscope near the vase::  You should eat that though or she might be offended.
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: Not really helping or hindering, I hope... Just passing time. Reading shakedown test reports isn't exactly the most consuming task on the ship.
Host Bob says:
ACTION: A SENSOR GHOST APPEARS ON THE LONG-RANGE SCANNER
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::lightly touches the vase with her beak, apparently checking it out::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::rises from his chair:: CIV: I need to return to the bridge, Ms. Waltrip is to be relieved shortly.
CIV_Pierce says:
CTO: I'll hold the fort here.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CIV: Thanks. ::heads out for the nearest TL, already working on his first candy for the day::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Sir, if you want to pass time, I have something for you. Long range sensors are picking up a ghost signal.
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::looks over at the CIV and flies over to a console, tapping buttons with her beak::
CO_Shras says:
:: reviewing reports on the vase ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::enters the TL:: Computer: Deck 14, Security.
CNS_Wells says:
::The letter is incomplete. It is a brief history of "the green providence"::
CEO_McDowell says:
::in a low moan:: FCO: Now there's a challenge... ::gets up:: I may know how to fix sensors. That doesn't mean I know how to use 'em... ::walks across the Bridge to the Sciences alcove::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::arrive at deck 14, then strolls to the security office and walks in::
CNS_Wells says:
::hears the FCO mention ghosts on sensor::
CIV_Pierce says:
Kandeldandel: Sounds like you're making more progress then me... ::Looks over at the owl::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Precisely sir. I don't think that there is really anything out there.
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::taps the "send" button and flies over to land on the CIV's shoulder::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Starboard lateral sensors don't agree with the port sensors. They both can't be right.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::spots the designated crewman and simply says:: Slimunga: Initiate in five minutes. ::then leaves after noticing her nod in acknowledgement::
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: Oh I dunno... Sounds like a case of one sensor just throwing a fit because it didn't get its way the last time around... ::sits down, goes glaze-eyed over the console for a moment, then starts tentatively pressing buttons::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Looks down at her console, seeing that she's receiving data::
EO_Valentine says:
::wakes up as she hears a beep from her PADD. Sits up and reads her PADD, rubbing her eyes. Stretches and gallops through the JT::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::heads back to the TL going up to the bridge::
CNS_Wells says:
::cannot help but smile at CEO's comments::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: I wouldn't know about that. I have thought about checking for tachyon emissions in case it is a cloaked ship. There are none.
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Slimunga> ::gets her team together and prepares for the test::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::arrives on the bridge, relieving the duty TO while blinking twice so as to send a signal not to interfere::
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: Well then, that's one thing down... ::still clueless at the console controls, though trying hard not to show it::
EO_Valentine says:
::tumbles out of the JT Hatch in Science Lab 1, rolling across the floor and running into the opposite wall::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Jumps out of her chair, no doubt startling the bird on her shoulder:: EO: AHH!
CNS_Wells says:
::is happy to see Kizlev return::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Slimunga> ::sends a silent text transmission to her contact in engineering to begin in three minutes::
CO_Shras says:
:: Bored about reading those reports, get up and walk to the bridge ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods to Wells and the Captain and logs in, ready to play his "part"::
EO_Valentine says:
::hops to her feet and dusts her uniform off:: All: Ooo! ::rubs her paws together and looks over the vase:: All: Pretty, pretty vase!
CIV_Pierce says:
EO: Are you nuts?!  What's with the rolling?  There's a door right there... ::Sees her gold tunic:: Oh... you must be an engineer.
CEO_McDowell says:
::mutters... gives up. Goes back to his engineering roots:: Computer, run a Level 5 diagnostic on the long range sensor array.
CNS_Wells says:
CO: Greetings Captain. ::Stands::
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Counselor, anything interesting to you in this?
EO_Valentine says:
::looks over at the CIV and takes off her goggles:: CIV: Geneva has a visitor?
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Eng Crewman> ::gets the message on his console, receiving his instructions, reads it quickly, then deletes it and makes ready to begin::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Wide eyed:: EO: Geneva has umm... Mission Specialist.
CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes Sir, it's all interesting. Unfortunately we know so little about the vase still.
CNS_Wells says:
CO: Perhaps when we arrive in the Mberayal System......
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Have they even bothered looking for evidence of it being a fake?
CTO_Kizlev says:
Self: Hmm... FCO: What's this about a sensor ghost I see here?
EO_Valentine says:
CIV: Oh. Mai is engineer. Mai fixes things. Kandeldandel likes you. ::points to the owl:: CIV: You want a Twinkie? ::offers one::
CEO_McDowell says:
<Computer> CEO: Diagnostics complete. Long range sensor array is working within normal parameters.
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Maybe we should begin by making sure it is from earth and from the right place in time...
CEO_McDowell says:
::mutter::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Slimunga> ::sees that everyone is in their respective points of entry on the ship, and sees that it's just about time to begin::
CNS_Wells says:
CO: Uncertain, Sir. I'd go down there but I'd just be in the way, I'm sure.
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: I noticed it earlier. The Chief is working on it. I believe it to be a failure in the lateral sensors.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Takes the Twinkie:: EO: Oh sure, I needed a snack to go with my coffee.  Thanks!
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Very well, I'll keep a close watch on it.
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: Scratch that off the list... It's not a failure, unless someone's decided to fool with thirty-something system diagnostics sensors.
EO_Valentine says:
::grins and giggles happily. Does a little dance around the vase and pulls out her pink tricorder, scanning the vase::
CEO_McDowell says:
Computer, analyze sensor ghost detected by long range sensor array.
CIV_Pierce says:
EO: Oh so her name is Kandeldandel... I figured she belonged to you.
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Eng Crewman> ::checks his chrono that it's time and goes back to his console for confirmation to begin::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::gives the go-ahead, knowing that the computer virus will only be effective for 5 seconds, hopefully enough time for a surprise::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Takes a bite from the Twinkie:: EO: The tricorder won't scan this part of the vase... ::Walks over and runs her finger over the dust:: There's something on it that we can't remove.
EO_Valentine says:
::stops:: CIV: Mission Specialist knew about Mai and Kandeldandel?
CO_Shras says:
CEO/FCO: Any troubles with the ship?
CIV_Pierce says:
::Motions to the owl and smiles:: EO: She got happier when you rolled into the room.  I'm a bit mental... err... I mean I'm a Betazoid.
FCO_Mikan says:
::nods to the CEO::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Eng Crewman> ::initiates the virus that should cause the quick power failure, pretending like he's doing normal work::
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Stay with me, I'll go say hello and you'll be with me
CO_Shras says:
CNS: There nothing like the boss showing up to give motivation....
CNS_Wells says:
CO: aye, Sir.
EO_Valentine says:
::tilts her head:: CIV: Specialist is a mind-squisher?
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Possible sensor trouble.
Host Bob says:
ACTION: AS IF ON CUE, SEVERAL SYSTEMS IN THE FORMERLY HEAVILY DAMAGED AREA THAT WERE RECENTLY REPAIRED SUDDENLY GO OFFLINE, INCLUDING GRAVITY PLATING AND SEVERAL PLASMA RELAYS
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Possible?
CIV_Pierce says:
::Laughs:: EO: Mind Squisher?  I've never heard it put that way before... but yeah.
FCO_Mikan says:
::looks at his console lighting up from the systems failures:: CO: Well sir, no longer just possible. It is now factual.
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Diagnostics says there's nothing wrong, the port array doesn't agree with the starboard array, and I'm no science officer, so I couldn't really make heads or tails of the readings.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::selects specific sections of the ship on his console after power is restored, and shuts down internal sensors near the insertion zones::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Chief, we have a situation. Guess you have plenty to do now sir. ::grins::
CEO_McDowell says:
::rolls eyes as he strolls from the one side of the Bridge to the other, to the Engineering alcove:: FCO: Smart aleck... ::sits down:: Let's see...
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: My pleasure Chief. ::grins::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Slimunga>::moves out with her team in their mercenary costumes and phaser rifles, and begins the takeover strike::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Floats into the air:: EO: Oh my...
EO_Valentine says:
::floats:: CIV: Mission Specialist hold vase. ::hands it to her and pulls out her PADD, slipping on her goggles and tapping quickly as she moves upside-down::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Wonders for a second if she's having a stroke::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Team Alpha> ::five security members, also in odd costumes and rifles storm engineering::
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Target something out there and maneuver about it, scanning it with all the sensors... might give you an idea about which sensor panel is not telling the whole truth..
CEO_McDowell says:
::back to his native console, where things make sense... :: Oh go figure, more shoddy work... *Engineering*: McDowell to Engineering. Have the duty EPS specialist report to Deck 8, Junction D-12. Repaired EPS flow regulators have cut out.
CNS_Wells says:
::Watches closely the crew dealing with stressful situations::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Acknowledged. ::performs a few maneuvers at warp speed::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Kicks off the wall and "swims" to the vase, taking it carefully::  EO: This didn't happen on my other cruises...
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Team Bravo> ::rushes TR 1 also in odd getup and heavy arms::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Is that enough data, Chief?
Host Bob says:
ACTION: INTERESTINGLY, THE SYSTEM FAILURES MANAGE TO CASCADE INTO A LOSS OF SEVERAL NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS AS WELL, CAUSING THE SHIP TO VEER WILDLY OFF COURSE
EO_Valentine says:
::hacks into the Geneva's computers:: Self: Geneva sick, Mai fix it!
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: One moment... ::brings up a clean window on another console::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Drifts from wall to wall, feeling a little ill:: Self: Not in my job description... nope...
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: I am dropping out of warp sir. Nav systems are failing.
CO_Shras says:
FCO: What!
CO_Shras says:
:: sit in his chair::
CNS_Wells says:
::Hanging tightly to the chair::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Team Alpha> ::violently point weapons at the crewmen and officers in engineering, telling them to get down and not resist::
CEO_McDowell says:
::watches the readings filter:: FCO: Port side, pallet 1323... One of the replaced ones. Why am I not surprised... ::disables the pallet, and four others on each side of it, just in case::
CO_Shras says:
CNS: We will have to delay our little visit I fear
CIV_Pierce says:
*Bridge*: Lt. Pierce to the bridge.  I'd like to report that we are without gravity in Science Lab 1 and it is not pleasant.
CEO_McDowell says:
::nearly slides out of chair... in a certain sarcastic undertone:: Self: This is fun...
EO_Valentine says:
::sends a text message to the CTO: "Caught ya! No more candies."
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: All engines stop sir. I don't recommend we continue without reliable sensors and navigation sir.
CNS_Wells says:
CO: I understand, Sir. 
CTO_Kizlev says:
::smiles seeing all the discord on Geneva, glad that circumstance is working to his advantage::
Host Bob says:
ACTION: HOWEVER, LONG-RANGE (AND SHORT RANGE) SENSORS REMAIN ON LINE, AT LEAST LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE "GHOST SHIP" MOVE Independently OF THE GENEVA'S COURSE
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Get this ship flying again soon chief!
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Team Bravo> ::Initiates site-to-site transport and beams onto the bridge::
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Yes sir... ::wondering why commanding officers always state the obvious...::
EO_Valentine says:
::types quickly on her PADD, trying to fix the ship::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::dismisses the EO's message and sees that Engineering has been quickly subdued, unfortunately::
CO_Shras says:
:: wondering why the crew cannot act about their job without him having to tell them to go ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Team Bravo> ::Materializes onto the bridge, weapons drawn::
CEO_McDowell says:
::running multiple concurrent diagnostics... nothing making sense:: CO: Diagnostics and self-correction systems must be tampered with. I'm not getting... ::face drops as he sees beam-in... Tries to lunge up the stairs towards the weapons locker in the Tactical console's base::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks up, faking surprise:: *ALL Hands*: Intruder Alert. Security to the bridge!
CIV_Pierce says:
::Holds the vase with both hands while spinning slowly in circles:: Self: Stomach, feeling bad...
EO_Valentine says:
Owl: Kandeldandel! Find Security Blue Person. Tell him stop! ::the owl nods and wiggles off::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Team Bravo> ::spreads out, two rush the Captain and Wells, the other three open fire at tactical with stun fire::
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::wiggles as fast as she can to the Bridge::
CEO_McDowell says:
::pulls out a phaser from the locker... points towards the two heading for the Captain:: Sec: HOLD IT!
EO_Valentine says:
::drifts over to the CIV:: CIV: Mission Specialist okay. ::holds her hands out to take the vase::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::returns fire, stunning one of the bravo members, but gets stunned in the process himself::
FCO_Mikan says:
::grabs the phaser hidden under his console and turns to the sec officers:: Sec: Drop 'em.
CIV_Pierce says:
EO: I just ::gulp:: don't like zero gravity very much.
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Bravo attacker> ::ignores the warning and is about to shoot the captain::
CEO_McDowell says:
::turns to his left to quickly fire at the one who just stunned the CTO::
EO_Valentine says:
CIV: Oh. Mai keeps her quarters in zero G
CNS_Wells says:
::Wonders if he has any appointments that would get him off the bridge::
EO_Valentine says:
::taps on her PADD:: CIV: Mai has an idea. ::wide grin::
FCO_Mikan says:
::fires at the sec officer in front of him::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::Security arrives on the bridge and goes after the bravo members, taking them down quickly::
CIV_Pierce says:
EO: Uh huh?
CEO_McDowell says:
::turns back to the group near the CO... A little too late::
CNS_Wells says:
::Checks his schedule on his console:: SELF: Dang! That's too bad.
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Bravo Team> ::completely stunned, failing their mission::
EO_Valentine says:
<Ixion> ::appears in a burst of holo-lightening on the Bridge and whinnies loudly::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is groaning, totally dazed, faintly hearing security alerts coming from Engineering::
CEO_McDowell says:
::sees the unicorn arrive... stunned (and not by phaser fire)::
CEO_McDowell says:
*EO*: Ms. Valentine, did you activate your unicorn program?
EO_Valentine says:
<Ixion> ::whinnies and fires holographic lightening bolts at the intruders::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::the security crewmen come to the aid of the Captain and help Kizlev to his feet::
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO*: Mai trying to save the Captain, Boss.
CNS_Wells says:
::Sees unicorn on the bridge:: SELF: Ok it's official... I have gone nuts::
CO_Shras says:
:: watches his timer ::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: You'll have a report on that for me before the end of the day?
CEO_McDowell says:
::turns to the unicorn:: Ixion: You may leave, everything's under control...
CTO_Kizlev says:
<SEC Team Alpha> ::is being engaged by security in engineering and losing the fight::
FCO_Mikan says:
::places his phaser back in its holster under his console::
EO_Valentine says:
<Ixion> ::nods to the CEO and points his horn at the CTO before disappearing::
CNS_Wells says:
::Gets a sharp pain in his temples::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::slumps over his console, still badly stunned, but conscious:: CO: Yes... sir... ::groans some more::
CEO_McDowell says:
::still holding his phaser, fully-powered... gives an even-more-stunned look to the CO & CTO::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::slowly slides a hand on the keys that will end the drill::
EO_Valentine says:
::turns her PADD so the CIV can see it too:: CIV: See Mai has a friend. Sent him to Bridge. ::shows her a picture of Ixion::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Is it over or are there more of it?
CIV_Pierce says:
::Looks at her strangely, the Geneva was a weird ship:: EO: What did he do?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::aching all over, seeing on his monitor that it is indeed over:: CO: .... Indeed, sir... it's over.
EO_Valentine says:
::grins:: CIV: Scared the bad guys. Geneva safe again!
CNS_Wells says:
CO: Well, I guess we now know Mr. Kizlev is ready incase of another unicorn attack, right, Sir?
CEO_McDowell says:
::’Still’ standing, clueless:: CO: This was a drill?!?!
CIV_Pierce says:
EO: There were bad guys?  ::Remains very confused::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Now you get on these engines and sensor problems
CNS_Wells says:
CO: It certainly gets exciting up here doesn't it?
EO_Valentine says:
::makes a face:: CIV: Not really. The CTO was just running a drill. Mai caught him.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: I want to be back on course at maximum warp at the earliest possibility
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stands down the intruder alert status::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Beginning to turn a little pale:: EO: Oh... well... great job Mai.  Could you make the gravity come back?
EO_Valentine says:
CIV: Oh. Sorry. ::taps on her PADD and begins drifting towards the floor.::
CEO_McDowell says:
::fuming, slams phaser back in the locker at the console base... sitting down again:: ::mutters in a low breath to himself:: ... and I imagine the convenient diagnostics errors *aren't* drills...
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sits back in his chair, sighing heavily, and looks at the slight phaser burn on his uniform::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::and for no apparent reason, having not done so in ages, starts to laugh out loud::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Feels her feet hit the floor.  Looks over to the vase and sees that it's safe::  EO: Thanks.
EO_Valentine says:
::bows:: CIV: No problem. Mai help out Mission Specialist.
CEO_McDowell says:
::fueled out of anger, punching his console keyboards at incredible speed, barely taking a moment to actually read the output coming on screen::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Sees her half eaten Twinkie land on the table:: EO: I think I've lost my appetite though.
