Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE USS GENEVA REMAINS AT THE SPACE DOCK FOR STARBASE 245 UNDERGOING MAJOR REPAIRS
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE MISSING WARP NACELLE HAS ARRIVED AND INSTALLATION PROGRESS CONTINUES
XO_Taal says:
::sitting in his office looking at status reports::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::In his quarters having a conversation with his sister::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: MOST OF THE CREW IS ENJOYING SOME TIME OFF AND TAKING R&R
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Has come back to the Geneva to get some work done, ironically taking a break from shore leave::
CO_Shras says:
@:: walking on the public area of Starbase 245, looking at the stores for gifts for his relatives ::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: So what you’re telling me is that I need to return to Andoria so that I may take over as head of the clan?
CEO_Horse says:
::inside the hole still welding the plates together::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Goes to her quarters and changes into her uniform::
CEO_Horse says:
Self: This suit is most uncomfortable.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
<Rivas> CSO: That's right. As the oldest male, you are now head of our clan.
XO_Taal says:
::sits back in his chair and scrolls down the list::
XO_Taal says:
::stands up, exits his office, and heads for the bridge::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: Sister, you must realize that I have a life now. Starfleet is where I belong.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
<Rivas> CSO: NO! Andoria is where you belong.
CEO_Horse says:
::finally finishes that plate leaves the hole and watches as a work bee brings the final piece of hull plating over for her to weld in place::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: It has been so long, what must be accomplished?
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Takes a raktajino from the replicator before leaving her quarters for the bridge::
CEO_Horse says:
::once it is in place she begins to weld it to the hull::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
<Rivas> CSO: You must marry your wives and begin your role as head of the clan.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: My wives?!?!?
XO_Taal says:
::enters the bridge and looks around::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
<Rivas> CSO: Yes, Mother has found you three beautiful wives. She at least left you the choice of the fourth.
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Walks onto the bridge, focused on sipping her coffee and nearly spills it all over the XO::
XO_Taal says:
::looks down at the CTO who almost spilled her coffee on his uniform::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Commander.
CEO_Horse says:
::continues to weld as she sees the new pylon being brought over by several work bees::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: If I take on this ritual, my wives must remain with me and live here. Also, I will be making all clan decisions from here via subspace.
CEO_Horse says:
Self: Ah they have finally finished the pylon. Nice. Now comes the fun.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: WHILE THE REPAIRS ARE MOSTLY GOING ON SCHEDULE, THERE ARE VARIOUS GLITCHES AND SETBACKS, PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTEGRATION AND BALANCING OF THE NEW WARP NACELLE
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Sir! ::Stammers then brushes a droplet of coffee off his sleeve:: We could've had another disaster there.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
<Rivas> CSO: Unacceptable.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: It's going to have to be.
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Perhaps you should have initiated Red Alert throughout the ship before you brought the coffee onto the bridge.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
<Rivas> CSO: Brother if you do not lead our clan...
CEO_Horse says:
::finished with the hull plating she pulls the tricorder and scans the area only to find out that it is off by 3 degrees::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: ... I know Rivas.
CEO_Horse says:
Outloud: Damn it. It isn't going to balance right!!!
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Huh? ::Realization hits:: Oh, that was a joke! Unexpected... but a good one Commander. Hey, at least I left the chicken at home.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: I must talk with Captain Shras and Commander Taal
XO_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Who said I was joking?
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CO*: Quinnis to Shras.
CEO_Horse says:
*CSO*: Ens. Quinnis, I need your help out here. Get into an EVA suit and help me with the precise balancing of this pylon. Please.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Rivas: It will have to wait Rivas. Return to your quarters.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CO*: Never mind sir.
CEO_Horse says:
*CSO*: Oh and bring your tricorder too.
CO_Shras says:
@*CSO*: Yes?
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::very sternly:: *CEO*: I'm on my way. Quinnis out.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::watches Rivas return to her guest quarters and grabs his tricorder and heads to EVA suit-up area::
CEO_Horse says:
Self: This is not as easy as they say it is. I need the CSO and his wisdom here to help with the attachment of the plasma lines
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::heads to EVA to suit up::
CEO_Horse says:
::waves off the first attempt::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::suits up and heads for airlock::
CEO_Horse says:
::watches as hoses and ODN wires and fiber optic cables are hanging from the dangling pylon::
XO_Taal says:
::sits down in the Command Chair::
CEO_Horse says:
::waves them off again::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Goes to her console and logs in, doing routine check of access to security systems::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::heads out of the airlock:: *CEO*: Quinnis to Horse. What's your twenty?
CO_Shras says:
@Self: Computer glitch I suppose
CEO_Horse says:
*CSO*: Outside port nacelle.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CEO*: Ah I see you now, I'm on my way.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::heads over to Port Nacelle::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AS THE EXEC OFFICER RECLINES IN THE COMMAND CHAIR, SEVERAL COMPUTER MESSAGES FLASH BY, INCLUDING SEVERAL WARNINGS, WHICH GO UNNOTICED
CEO_Horse says:
*CSO*: These idiots can't get the pylon straight and into position. Besides I am going to need your head and calculations for the plasma intermix values and other little science things.
CEO_Horse says:
::waves them off again::
CEO_Horse says:
Self: Augusfratt!!!
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CEO*: I'm already calculating that on my PADD.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CTO*: Quinnis to Pierce.
CEO_Horse says:
*WorkBee3*: Get that pylon turned around the other way you are putting it on backwards!!!
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
*CSO*: Yes Mr. Quinnis?
CEO_Horse says:
<WorkBee3> *CEO*: Oh now you tell me.
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::The CSO interrupts her attentiveness to her console and she misses the warnings::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::still walking to nacelle:: *CTO*: I brought my sister aboard from the station several days ago, could you show her around?
CEO_Horse says:
::watches as the pylon is finally turned around the correct way::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::meets up with CEO and watches the construction::
CEO_Horse says:
*WorkBee3*: Lower it gently but not to low. We have to attach the cables and lines before you can lower it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
*CSO*: I thought my new Tactical Officer was the only new addition to the Geneva. What ship is she coming from?
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: You got the figures?
CEO_Horse says:
::grabs the first of several plasma lines and begins to attach them to the loose ones on the hull where the pylon is to be welded to the hull::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CTO*: She's already aboard. I informed Ensign Holbrook of her arrival and he said he would file the necessary reports with you.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Right here. ::hands PADD over::
XO_Taal says:
::listens to the conversation between the CSO and CTO::
CEO_Horse says:
::takes the PADD::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Notices that Ensign Holbrook has already logged in to the system at least once::  *CSO*: I'm looking at it now... ::Sees that she's a civilian::  Next time just clear civilians before bringing them on board okay Quinnis?
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CTO*: I also informed OPS and they supplied her with adequate quarters.
CEO_Horse says:
::reads the figures and slides the PADD into her EVA suit pocket ::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CTO*: Yes ma'am.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Do me a favor and scan this to make sure I got the intermix correct.
CEO_Horse says:
::takes another and repeats the same process::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::pulls out tricorder::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
*CSO*: You'd better hope we don't get many more crewmembers while we're here or she might be evicted from those quarters and will have to room with you. ::Chuckles::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: When you finished with that one here is another one.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Very well.
XO_Taal says:
::stands up and walks around the bridge inspecting the consoles::
CEO_Horse says:
::repeats the same thing for the remaining 8 plasma lines::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CTO*: That's not funny. Quinnis out.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Hey don't sound like it is a hard job to do. Think of it as just out for a walk on the hull on a bright sunny day. ::smiles::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: A SMALL BLINKING RED WARNING LIGHT ON THE ENGINEERING CONSOLE CATCHES THE EYE OF THE XO
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: I don’t mean to place my mood onto you, I'm just having some personal issues.
XO_Taal says:
::approaches the Engineering console and looks at the blinking light::
CEO_Horse says:
::grabs the ODN fiber-optic cables and begins to attach them to their corresponding relays::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Snickers then focuses on the paperwork necessary for Quinnis' sister before going and giving her a tour of the ship::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do to help?
CEO_Horse says:
::continues to work on the fiber optic cables and relays::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Not unless you can find a way for me to avoid my dying father, taking over our clan and marrying three Andorian women with whom I've never met.
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Notices the XO lurking around the bridge::
CEO_Horse says:
::stops:: CSO: Marrying three Andorian women??? Wow that is a find.
XO_Taal says:
::presses a few buttons on the console to investigate::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Did you lose something sir?
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Is that such a surprise? I still have to find a forth wife.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: I don't mean to sound like that but it is really quite a surprise for me to hear that.
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Something appears out of the ordinary. Is your console showing something as well?
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: How so?
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Well I never heard of that being done. ::continues her work::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: It is a traditional Andorian custom. We marry in groups of four or five.
CEO_Horse says:
::finishing the first batch of ODN fiber-optic cables she hands them to the CSO to scan::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Is that so different from humans?
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Not that I see but... oh wait. ::Lifts up her coffee mug and sees a blinking light::  Oops. Yes, I've got a blinker.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Yes it is. Humans only take one wife.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::takes the cables and begins scan::
XO_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Is it serious?
CEO_Horse says:
::sees the pylon begin to sway::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Only one! How do they keep their clans fruitful?
CEO_Horse says:
*WorkBee3*: You fool, keep that thing steady idiot. You nearly screwed up the entire job here.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Well, for one since we only have one wife we keep oh having children. It is the way of the human nature.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: So one human woman can bear many children?
CEO_Horse says:
<WorkBee3> *CEO*: Well, if you would hurry up I would be able to finish this mess. I am tired and want to go home.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::scan of the cables is completed::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Sure they can.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: How are the scans so far? They on point?
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Let me look into it real quick like.... ::Inputs the commands in her console to see what the problem is::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: These cables are adequate.
XO_Taal says:
::Walks up to the Tactical console and watches Commander Pierce work on the console::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Adequate??? They are supposed to be better than that. Don't tell me they screwed up with cable dimensions.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Although I would prefer your people piloting those work bees as the pylon is swaying.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Yeah they say they are tired and want to go home.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: The cable dimensions are what they need to be.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Excuses.
CEO_Horse says:
*WorkBee3*: Hold that thing steady I said. You nearly took our heads off.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::ducks::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Sensors are picking up an intermittent energy fluctuation. I'm going to try to run another scan.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Great now lets get the rest of these conduit cables done and then they can lower the pylon and it can be welded to the hull plating.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::continues running scans with tricorder::
XO_Taal says:
::walks over to the Science II console and runs a scan of his own::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Alright.
CEO_Horse says:
::continues to attach the conduit cables to the relays and hopes they are configured correctly::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: So your people can have up to four wives??
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: I think Ensign Running Horse and Quinnis could shed light on this a lot faster then I can but they're having a little stroll on the hull.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Why yes, it is how we keep our clans a plenty.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: So how many kids can your women bear?
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: A typical Andorian woman stops with six.
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Perhaps, however, we will have to do without them temporarily
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Wow, that is a good amount. Some human women have more than six.
CEO_Horse says:
::hands another bunch of cables for the CSO to scan::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: We are almost done.
CEO_Horse says:
::takes the final batch of cables and attaches them quickly to the corresponding relays and smiles::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: The bearing of children is a huge event and the entire clan turns out for the big event.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::takes the cables::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Once the child is born, there is a celebration.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: That is interesting. Hmm..... with humans it is generally just the immediate family.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: My clan currently has 185 members.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: You are kidding?
CEO_Horse says:
::finishes the final batch of cables and hands them to the CSO for his scan::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: I wouldn't want to switch places with them anyway. Personally, I hate space walks.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: No. My mother has the smallest amount of children out of all my Father's and Uncle's wives.
XO_Taal says:
::runs a series of scans on the Science II console::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Zero-G Training was not agreeable for me at the Academy.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Well if your scans say everything is ok I will have them lower the pylon down and you can help me weld it to the hull.
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
::Nods:: XO: Right on.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Yes, everything is in order.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Good.
CEO_Horse says:
*WorkBee3*: Now you can lower the pylon carefully till it matches with the hull and I mean carefully!!
CEO_Horse says:
<WorkBee3> *CEO*: Finally!!
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Did you bring welders?
CEO_Horse says:
::watches as the pylon is lowered until it sits just perfectly::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Of course what well to do CEO would leave her welders in engineering? ::produces two welding units and hands one to the CSO::
CEO_Horse says:
::begins to weld the pylon into place::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::takes welder and begins welding::
CO_Shras says:
@:: having completed his shopping Shras returns to his quarters, dropping the bags to his feet in the entrance he then decides he has enough of this R&R thing ::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: I cannot seem to track the source of the problem.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: So tell me Horse, do you have family?
XO_Taal says:
CTO: It could be a glitch in the computer core during the repairs.
CO_Shras says:
XO: Shras to Taal; where are we with those repairs?
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Me neither sir. All I can find is that it's coming from somewhere on the ship and shows up, then goes away.
XO_Taal says:
*CO*: In a word, Captain? Delayed.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: You know, I would like to hear more about your race and its workings but let’s just get this finished as fast as we can. I am almost out of O2.
CO_Shras says:
*XO*: Delayed? How long?
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
XO: Could be. Ensign Running Horse might have another problem to add to her stack.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Very well.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::continues welding::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: OF THE THINGS THAT RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT OVERHAUL, THE COMPUTER CORE RECEIVED SOME NEW MODULES - UPGRADES FOR THE HARDWARE & SOFTWARE FOR THE ENTIRE SHIP AND ITS SYSTEMS
CEO_Horse says:
::hurries a little but does the correct job and breathes shallow to make the O2 last till the welding is finished::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: You finished? I am done here.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Yes
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: OK Scan the welds to make sure they are secure and then let’s get inside.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::scans weld:: CEO: Perfect.
XO_Taal says:
*CO*: Unknown, Captain. I have yet to receive a report from the Engineering teams working on the nacelle.
CEO_Horse says:
*WorkBee3*: OK, you can release the pylon and go home.
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Well let’s get inside. I am already in the red here.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::waits for CEO then heads for airlock::
CEO_Horse says:
::begins to haul herself back to the airlock::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::places tricorder in holster::
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Had a nice walk?? ::breathing becomes more labored::
CEO_Horse says:
::reaches the air lock out of breath::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CEO: Are you alright?
CO_Shras says:
*XO*: We have been in dock for quite to long now, it is time we test our repaired ship, please apply some amount of pressure on our engineers to make it happen
CEO_Horse says:
CSO: Yeah just a little out of breath.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::closes the airlock::
CEO_Horse says:
::waits for the pressure to equalize::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::initiates environmental system::
CTO_LtCmdr_Pierce says:
*CSO*: Your sister's going to have to wait Ensign. We're picking up something weird on internal sensors. It could be another task that our talented Engineering staff might have to fix.
XO_Taal says:
*CO*: Yes, Captain.
XO_Taal says:
*CEO*: Taal to Ensign Horse.
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
*CTO*: I'm on my way.
CEO_Horse says:
::pulls off the helmet and breathes deeply:: CSO: Ah fresh oxygen.
CEO_Horse says:
*XO*: Yes sir?
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::pulls off helmet::
CSO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::takes off EVA suit::
CEO_Horse says:
::removes her EVA suit::
XO_Taal says:
*CEO*: Captain wants us to move out soon.
