;;Looks down at the tactical scanners::
SO_Mallory says:
::stops and turns::
SO_Mallory says:

::steers hard against a current that takes the Poe hard to port, keeping her steady::
EO_Davidson says:
CTO/*XO*:Nothing on the shadow
Host CO_Cutter says:
XO:  Daria... have the Poe focus all scans on that shadow.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  Any information
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Such as???
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Aye
MO_McDonough says:
::Picks up a padd typing something into it quickly......reads it over and smiles:: SO: Nothin' is wrong.  Would ye mind doin' me a favor and take this to the CSO fer me?
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: Navigational sensors are having a tough time distinguishing what it is, doesn't appear to conform to known configurations, however it could be due to the atmospheric ionization interference.
SO_Mallory says:
MO: Not at all... ::takes the PADD::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO/CSO:  Was it a life form?
CSO_Spear says:
XO: Just readings inconsistent with this planet, I'm tying to isolate them now........
CTO_Abbott says:
EO: Keep sensors on standby..if it passes again, I want to know what it was....
OPS_Hills says:

MO_McDonough says:
SO: Thank ye.
SO_Mallory says:
MO: Anything else, doctor?
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*CTO/EO*  Concentrate on that shadow.  See if you can get any readings at all

Self; What the devil?
EO_Davidson says:
*XO*:Aye commander
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:

CEO_Bafii says:
Bridge: What are those... lifeforms?
CTO_Abbott says:
::points to the screen:: EO: There! Did you see that?
SO_Mallory says:
::Exits and enters the nearest TL::
CSO_Spear says:
CO/XO: I can confirm it now, definite lifeform! Of a type I've never seen!
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  Can you determine if what we're seeing is a life form?
EO_Davidson says:
CTO:Yeah, bubbles. I am going to run a Bio scan ::runs a bio scan::
Coreen says:
::thinks for a moment then speaks quietly::  CEO:  Permission to make a minor power adjustment?
CTO_Abbott says:
@*CO* We are confirming that now, Sir....readings are inconclusive so far....
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  What can you tell us about it?
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  From Mr. Spear's information it seems to be a lifeform
CEO_Bafii says:
Coreena: Let me see what you want to do first please
SO_Mallory says:
::enters the bridge and heads for SCI 2::
Coreen says:
::Points out the what needs to be done::
CSO_Spear says:
CO/XO : They are alive, but we have no frame of reference. Just an energy signature that indicates life
Host CO_Cutter says:
::leans over to the XO and whispers::  XO:  Damn it, I knew I should have sent a science member.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*EO*  What are you getting on the balloon like formations?  Are they lifeforms, gasses, what?
SO_Mallory says:

Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Any sign of intelligence yet?
CSO_Spear says:
::takes PADD: SO: thank you.
EO_Davidson says:
*XO*:Just bubbles, rather graceful I would say
Coreen says:
::makes the final adjustment, staying within what the engineers liked, not what she thought::

::sits down:: CSO: What is happening with the Poe now?
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*EO*  Well they are beautiful but keep your monitors on them just in case
CEO_Bafii says:
CO: Sir, if one of them were to ram the Poe, or the umbilical... we could have a problem
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Most assuredly. They appear to be.........curious about the Poe
TO_Knight says:
::Thinks that those bubbles are more than meets the eye::
Host Klord says:
Action: the balloons change height and shift to a different current to keep their distance from the Poe
CSO_Spear says:
SO: We've discovered a new life form
EO_Davidson says:
*XO*:But they seem to be gathering the trace elements and consuming them
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  Abbott, back the Poe off some, give them some room.  Stay within scanning distance.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*EO*  We are getting movement from the bubbles as if there is some intelligence there.  Can you confirm
CTO_Abbott says:
::checks her systems:: EO: Confirmed....*CO* These objects appear to be harmless ....perhaps some kind of chemical reaction to the various gasses in the atmosphere
SO_Mallory says:
CSO: A new lifeform? Human?
CTO_Abbott says:
<@>
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
::consuming the trace elements::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*EO*  That would indicate they are a life form of some sort then
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Evaluate the CTO's suggestion.  That ring correct?
CSO_Spear says:
SO: Far from it. These things live in an ammonia atmosphere
FCO_Michaels says:
::concentrates on keeping the Hayden and Poe in position since it's been determined the anomalous readings are lifeforms and not vessels::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  What do you get on the bubbles?
CTO_Abbott says:
@*CO* Agreed, Sir. ::veers the Poe away from the bubbles::
EO_Davidson says:
@*XO*:That it would commander.
SO_Mallory says:
CSO: wow.... so where can I help now?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::looks at XO with a bemused smile::  XO:  Agreed?  Remind me to kill her when she gets back, okay?
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:I wonder if they respond to a comm signal
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*EO*  Keep us informed of any new information Mr. Davidson
CSO_Spear says:
XO/CO: They appear to be benign. They seem curious, but are keeping a safe distance
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Consider yourself reminded ::laughs::
EO_Davidson says:
@*XO*:Aye commander
CEO_Bafii says:
:: hears the Captain :: CO: She's not bad with a bat'leth, I'ld watch out sir.
CTO_Abbott says:
::mutters aloud:: EO: Curious....
MO_McDonough says:
::Opens a channel to the bridge to listen to what's happening::
Host Klord says:
Action: suddenly another object shoots out of the sky and pierces one of the gas bags then expands around it consuming it
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  If it's convenient, try opening hailing frequencies.
CEO_Bafii says:
:: stunned by the events on the main viewer ::
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:DId you see that??
CSO_Spear says:
CO/XO: I don't think they are a threat. Maybe if we could move closer. Perhaps send a universal greeting, prime numbers , the usual
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:Should I try to contact them???
CEO_Bafii says:
Bridge: Okay... what's was that?
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Evaluation?  What did we just see?
CTO_Abbott says:
@EO: No, not until we have some idea of what we are dealing with....
Coreen says:
::Looks at the screen confused::
CSO_Spear says:
XO/CO: It seems to be, well, eating!
TO_Knight says:
CO: Looks like that ain't one of their mates.
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:The captain just told us to lt?
CSO_Spear says:
CO/XO: I believe it thrives on the atmosphere.
Host CO_Cutter says:
TO:  You may be right Mr Knight
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Jason we seem to be viewing the hunter and the hunted out there.
SO_Mallory says:
::taps on her console checking the Poe's status::
CTO_Abbott says:
@::tries to word her words correctly:: *CO* Wouldn't it be wise to hold off until we see what we are dealing with?
EO_Davidson says:
*XO*:Did you see that other balloon get enveloped
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  I believe you are correct.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  Keep the Poe well away from the second life form, understood?
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*EO*  Yes we saw that.  Any ideas Lt?
CEO_Bafii says:
Self: Amazing....
CTO_Abbott says:
@*CO* Yes, Sir.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  Do you have a reason to believe that communications would cause a hostile response?
MO_McDonough says:
::Sits down at her computer and pulls up recent messages, not wanting to take any other crew members for their physicals in the middle of the experiment::
FCO_Michaels says:
CSO: Is there any chance one of those...things...could mistake the Poe for a bubble lifeform?
Coreen says:
::Tries to remember all the things she has learned, but hunter was not one of them::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  How is the information collection going?
CSO_Spear says:
FCO: Very unlikely. The Poe is of a totally different composition
CEO_Bafii says:
CSO: That's assuming it can detect the differences
CTO_Abbott says:
@*CO* Not at the present time, however if the lifeform does not understand us, it may provoke an attack...especially since the larger one seems to be "feeding" at this time
Coreen says:
::Whispers::  CEO:  What is a hunter?
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO*:permission to try contacting them??
CSO_Spear says:
XO: We're receiving an enormous amount of data. I'm focusing on the life form
FCO_Michaels says:
CSO: That's certainly a relief, because with the atmospheric eddies down there, today’s testing is running on a "where the Poe goes we go; basis.
MO_McDonough says:
::Pulls up a message from the CMO and reads it quickly and goes white::  Oh no.....not that........
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  I understand your concern, but I'd like to establish communications if possible.  Make the attempt.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  Good idea Spear.  SF will need all the data they can get to help sort this one out
EO_Davidson says:
@::Looks at the CTO for the go ahead::
CSO_Spear says:
CEO: Acknowledged. They appear sentient, I think they could discern the difference, but I have no facts
CEO_Bafii says:
Coreena: Hunters are lifeforms that search and kill other lifeforms... usually for food, but sometimes as sport
CTO_Abbott says:
@*CO*: Acknowledged...::nods to the EO to try and establish contact::
Host CO_Cutter says:
SO:  Are you sensing anything from these lifeforms?
EO_Davidson says:
@::opens comm channel and transmits a universal greeting in all languages and frequencies::
Host Klord says:
Action: no reaction
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Well here we are at first contact.  This should be fun.
Coreen says:
CEO: For Sport?
SO_Mallory says:
CO: I can try... if I focus ...
CEO_Bafii says:
CSO: All depends on how their sensory systems developed... quite interesting
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:No response
MO_McDonough says:
<Abbot> MO: Dr. McDonough, are you all right?
CSO_Spear says:
CEO: extraordinary to say the least
SO_Mallory says:
::tries to concentrate on the lifeforms::
CEO_Bafii says:
Coreena: Yes...a game.  Some people don't have the same respect for life as the rest of us
CTO_Abbott says:
@EO; Inform the captain
Coreen says:
::Nods trying to take in that answer.  The thought was most illogical::
EO_Davidson says:
*CO*:No response to the hail
Host CO_Cutter says:
::thinks for a moment then makes a decision::  *CTO*  Keep transmitting greetings.  We are going to move you deeper into the atmosphere.
MO_McDonough says:
Abbot:  Ah'll be fine.....Will ye take sick bay fer me for awhile, please?  Ah think Ah need some space fer a bit.
CSO_Spear says:
SO: have you come up with anything?
Host CO_Cutter says:
*EO*  Acknowledged
SO_Mallory says:
CO: I'm sorry sir... maybe there are not sentient
CEO_Bafii says:
:: hears the Captain and returns to monitoring the stress on the Poe ::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
OPS:  Make sure and notify SF of the lifeforms.  They may have something in their database
FCO_Michaels says:
::looks back at the Captain worried::  CO: We are?
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:Can we take it closer??
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Move the Pendulum so that the Poe will be lower in the atmosphere.
CTO_Abbott says:
@*CO* Acknowledged..::makes the necessary course adjustments and prepares to go deeper into the planet's atmosphere::
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:Meaning the POE??
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: Aye aye sir.  ::with a little gulp::
CSO_Spear says:
SO; They did move away from the Poe. I suppose we could chalk that up to instinct
SO_Mallory says:
CO: I was able to make contact with sentient lifeforms before... those must have a basic instinct... and nothing sentient about them.
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: Lowering our orbit.  ::descends further towards the atmosphere::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::looks at the FCO with a slight grin::  FCO:  If you're uncomfortable with this, I can request a cadet to relieve you?
Host CO_Cutter says:
SO:  Acknowledged.  If was worth a try.
CEO_Bafii says:
CO: Stresses slowly approaching tolerance levels
TO_Knight says:
SO: Let's hope they're instinct isn't to eat unarmed probes, eh.
FCO_Michaels says:
::Gives the Captain a dirty look::  CO: That will be entirely unnecessary...sir.
OPS_Hills says:
::is listening to SF again and sighs heavily::
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:Can you take us closer??
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  We'll go to 98%.
CSO_Spear says:
OPS: Do we have a lock on the AT just in case?
SO_Mallory says:
TO: let's hope ::smiles::
CTO_Abbott says:
EO: Closer to what?
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Just kidding Bryan..... relax.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
OPS:  Did SF have any information for us?
SO_Mallory says:
CSO: They surely can react... but sentient I doubt.
CEO_Bafii says:
CO: Aye
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:TO one of the the bubbles
CTO_Abbott says:
::monitors rising hull tolerances::
MO_McDonough says:
<Abbot> MO: Aye, Ma'am.  If you're sure.
FCO_Michaels says:
::mutters something under his breath about what would make him relax::
Coreen says:
::Looks at the CEO::
MO_McDonough says:
Abbot: Completely sure.  I'll be fine.
OPS_Hills says:
CSO:  Yes we do  ::turns to XO::  XO:  SF is pestering us for a report
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
SO:  Then they are simply eating machines if you will...merely eating to survive?
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  We aren't reading any life forms at this depth... do you concur?
CTO_Abbott says:
@EO: The captain prefers that we keep our distance...I tend to agree....we do not really know what that is out there
CSO_Spear says:
CO/XO/SO: We have lost our "friends" at this depth. Maybe they can only survive at a certain depth
CTO_Abbott says:
@::checks her readings:: *CO* Confirmed Captain
FCO_Michaels says:
::struggles to keep the Hayden in position at their new low orbit::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  Okay, we're going to go back to the original depth
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:But we got to do something
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  Acknowledged.  Perhaps we should stay beneath them for a while
SO_Mallory says:
XO: You may be right... their instinct is to survive... and seems like they like eating machines for lunch ::smiles::
MO_McDonough says:
::Heads out of sick bay and towards the holodeck::
CTO_Abbott says:
@::feels the resistance of the wind forces and struggles to keep a tight control on the controls::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor  (Ship-Engines Struggling!.wav)
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Move us back up Mr Michaels.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
::smiles back at the SO::
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:This has a potential to be a first contact situation
CEO_Bafii says:
CO/FCO: I can modify the warp field geometry to relive some of the stress you are seeing from the planet
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: Aye sir, engines are being strained to 93% power.  ::raises the Hayden's orbit::
MO_McDonough says:
TL: Deck 8.
CTO_Abbott says:
@EO: Lt. about the only thing we can do right now is try to make contact....if we do not get a response...then I do not see anything else we can do...unless you have a suggestion?
FCO_Michaels says:
CEO: I'd be glad for it, we've got an awful small power margin to work with as it is.
CSO_Spear says:
::reads the PADD Mallory gave him::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Make it so
MO_McDonough says:
::Rides the TL in silence exiting when it stops::
CTO_Abbott says:
@*CO*: Acknowledged...:: holds tight on the controls::
EO_Davidson says:
@::thinks::CTO:What about send out a Bio Signal in mores code or something??
CEO_Bafii says:
:: modifies the warp geometry to relieve a percentage of the gravitational forces on the moon ::
Coreen says:
::Keeping one eye on the monitors, with the other she observes all that is going on around her.  She can feel some of the tension building... at least she thinks that is the correct word::
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: Uh...Captain, we've got a bit of a problem here, our current orbit and the Poe's course is heading straight for a nexus of currents.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  There they are again
OPS_Hills says:
::doubles checks to see if the lock is still on the shuttle crew::
MO_McDonough says:
::Heads to holodeck keying in program Eire1 and heading inside::
CEO_Bafii says:
CO/FCO: That should give you an extra 5 to 10% to play with... I don't dare go further unless needed
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
::sees the bubbles again::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  How long till contact?
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Acknowledged
FCO_Michaels says:
CEO: We may just need it.
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:I may have a way to contact the life forms. 
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  Are we getting plenty of useful information?  Including data on the bubbles?
CTO_Abbott says:
@::watches the "bubbles" on the screen:: EO:You may try...though I do not see it working...
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: 3 minutes sir.
CSO_Spear says:
Self: Hmm there back. CO/XO: they seem confined to a relatively narrow field, like they can only survive at this precise point
Host CO_Cutter says:
*EO*  Standby... we will be retrieving the Poe momentarily.
CSO_Spear says:
XO: I'm auto-recording everything, focusing on the life forms
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:As we know the life forms are attracted to Bio signals, we may be able to contact them with a Bio signal in Morse code. Permission to try before we are brought back sir???
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Is there any need to remain in the precise location of the bubbles?  We have gathered a lot of data on them already
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Commence retrieving the Poe.   I want it out of that nexus.  We'll load it with a science team and send it back.
CSO_Spear says:
::smiles as he thinks of what was written on the PADD:: CO: Aye Sir
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: 2 minutes till contact sir.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*EO*  You can try...  we are commencing retrieving.
CSO_Spear says:
::begins retrieval procedures::
Coreen says:
::Watches the screen curiously wondering where the doctor is::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Acknowledged.  Try adjusting our orbit to give us more time.
EO_Davidson says:
@::runs Bio Signal out in mores code::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Very good thinking Jason.  Maybe they can find out more after studying the existing data a bit and cross referencing with any available SF data
MO_McDonough says:
::Walks along an old dirt road on the Irish countryside::
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: I'm working on it, but I can't move too much while we're bringing in the Poe, the stress on the cable would be too great.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::shrugs::  XO:  I hope so Daria.... but I'm not losing a team to find out.
CSO_Spear says:
FCO: Try and hold her steady while I'm bringing them in
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Agreed
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Acknowledged.  Do what you can
FCO_Michaels says:
CSO: On it.
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:no response ::sounds disappointed::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: We're 23 percent retrieved
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  Retrieval report Spear
Host CO_Cutter says:
*EO*  Acknowledged
CSO_Spear says:
XO: 29 Percent retrieved
CEO_Bafii says:
CO/XO: With the discovery of lifeforms, I wonder if SF will want to send in a science vessel.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Increase speed up to 98% stress on the umbilical.
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:what are those things ahead
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CEO:  Yes that's what Cpt Cutter is suggesting as well
CSO_Spear says:
ALL: 57 percent retrieved
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
:;acknowledges the CSO::
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:What the time till impact??
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: One minute till contact sir, I've done about all I can to stay out of the path, we're almost above it.
CSO_Spear says:
ALL: 69 percent..................
MO_McDonough says:
::Looks up toward the sky her eyes filled with questions::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Isn't that pushing the envelope just a bit?
Host CO_Cutter says:
*EO*  One minute.
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:How long till you get us in???
Host CO_Cutter says:
XO:  I'm betting that stressing the cable is better than hitting that nexus.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Time till the Poe clears the nexus area?
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO:  Agreed.  The lesser of two evils
CSO_Spear says:
ALL: 92 percent. retrieved. We'll be away from the Nexus momentarily::smiles::
EO_Davidson says:
@*CO*:If you have to, release us and save the ship then come back. the EVA suits should protect us for a few minuets
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Begin slowly raising the orbit.
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  Very good news Spear
CEO_Bafii says:
FCO: I'll squeeze everything out for you
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: Aye sir, raising orbit.
CTO_Abbott says:
@::sees the nexus on sensors and tries to avoid it::
FCO_Michaels says:
CEO: Much obliged sir.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::groans::  *EO*  Gee, thanks for the suggestion.  We'll come up with something else.
CEO_Bafii says:
:: watching engine output ::
EO_Davidson says:
@CTO:Whats the time till impact???
OPS_Hills says:
::hopes that it won't come to leaving them behind::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Status?
CSO_Spear says:
::finishes retrieval:: XO/CO We've got  them aboard.........................Now
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO/FCO:  Nice job to both of you.
CTO_Abbott says:
::lands the Poe safely in Hayden's Cargo bay::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Move us to a high orbit.
CTO_Abbott says:
::opens the hatch and climbs out::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Thanks Boss. FCO: Couldn’t have done it with out you.
EO_Davidson says:
::breaths a sigh of relief""
Host CO_Cutter says:
XO:  Meet the team and begin a debrief.
FCO_Michaels says:
CO: Aye sir, moving to high orbit.  ::puts the Hayden into a standard geosynchronous orbit::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CSO:  Nice job Mr. Spear
CSO_Spear says:
XO: Thank you Ma'am
Coreen says:
::reaches over and unconsciously makes minor adjustments::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Start the download of all their sensors.  I want to know what those things were.
FCO_Michaels says:
CSO/CO: Please don't make me blush... ::laughs::
OPS_Hills says:
::is relieved that the shuttle has returned safely::
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
FCO;  Good flying Lt
TO_Knight says:
::Stand at ease::
EO_Davidson says:
CTO: Suggest we get out of here??
FCO_Michaels says:
XO: Thank you ma'am.
CEO_Bafii says:
*Lt Drake* Send a team to inspect the Poe
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
*CTO/EO*  Nice job you two.  We'll need a full report of your observations
CSO_Spear says:
FCO: I thought it was impossible for you to blush::remembers the screensaver::
CEO_Bafii says:
:: check his console :: Coreena: Coreena, did you change this?
Host CO_Cutter says:
OPS:  Send a summary of what we found to Starfleet.  We'll send the science data later.
FCO_Michaels says:
::gives the CSO a confused look::
EO_Davidson says:
CTO:Suggest we get out of the poe lt???
Coreen says:
::Looks up at Bafii in confusion::  CEO:  Change what?
CTO_Abbott says:
::takes a padd with her and uploads data from the Poe:: *XO* Acknowledged. I will have one for you in an hour
OPS_Hills says:
CO:  Will do ::sends the summary to SF::
CEO_Bafii says:
:: points to the console :: Coreena: There, those adjustments... 
Host XO_Longly-MacGregor says:
CO;  Well Jason as you said, score one for the Gipper
OPS_Hills says:
<SFHQ>  COMM: Hayden:  We need more information
Coreen says:
::Glances at them::  CEO:  I don't... ::Looks closely, then down at her shoe::  I think I did.
OPS_Hills says:
