<<<resume Mission>>>
CSO_Lys says:
::sitting at SCI1 looking over the data pouring into his console::
CMO_Bishop says:
::is in sickbay sitting in her office cluing up some tests she just performed on herself::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Sitting in the Center Seat.:: OPS: Contact the planet and let them know we're the assistance that they asked for.
OPS_Coreena says:
CO:  Yes ma'am.
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>CMO: Here's the list of supplies that we just refurbished for the medical stores.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Hails the planet::
CMO_Bishop says:
::looks up:: Manning: Thanks Vince. Can you check on the supplies for the emergency triage? I don't want to leave anything out.
CTO_Kordus says:
::raises shields and reviews her security precautions once more... having chosen officers who also had experience in Engineering and Medical so they'd "blend in" better to their plainclothes roles::
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>CMO: Yes, Doctor.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::stands at the back engineering station on the bridge, refusing to sit in the command center::
EO_Davidson says:
*CTO*Commander...you want to tell your people to make sure they stay out of the way down here so I can do my job.
CSO_Lys says:
XO:  I've gotten all of the flight plans I was looking for Commander.  Seems that all the ships have disappeared within three adjacent sectors.
OPS_Coreena says:
COMM: Etinad:  This is the federation starship USS Hayden sent at your request to assist in the subject of your missing ships.
Host XO_Skye says:
CSO: We'll be visiting those areas then once we pick up the Ambassador.
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*:Everything is in the green commander for now. But you never know with us?
Host Klord says:
<Etinad Homeworld> COM: Hayden, we are pleased to great you. The ambassador will be with you shortly. Please come no closer to the home world.
Host CEO_Jax says:
*EO*: Quite true Lt, however I should be able to know, and it should always stay in the green...see that it does.
Host Klord says:
Action: three battle cruisers intercept the Hayden
Host XO_Skye says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: FCO: Hold our current position.
CTO_Kordus says:
::has about had it with his self-importance and decides to tell him so:: EO: My "people" are trained professionals who also have Engineering backgrounds.  If you were intelligent, you would put them to good use rather than whining about the space they take up.
OPS_Coreena says:
COMM: Etinad:  Acknowledged.
CTO_Kordus says:
::notices the three battle cruisers and is put on edge::
CSO_Lys says:
XO: Understood.  Permission to launch probes now to start collecting data?  I have them standing by.
CNS_Cutter says:
::waits in TR for the Ambassador::
CMO_Bishop says:
::gets up from her desk tugging her lab coat around her::
AMB_Krej says:
COMM:  Hayden, this is Amb Krej.  I am ready to beam aboard.
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: It would appear we are not entirely welcome.
Host XO_Skye says:
CSO: Hold onto them until we get permission.  We don't want them thinking we're committing a hostile act.
EO_Davidson says:
*CTO*:Commander...I realize that but....oh never mind. Davidson out
Host Klord says:
Action: incoming hail from planet
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Incoming hail.
CSO_Lys says:
XO:  Aye.  ::puts the probes on standby and tries to get any information he can from LRS::
Host XO_Skye says:
*CEO/CNS*: Our guest is about to beam aboard.  Please meet him in transporter bay one.
CTO_Kordus says:
::commenting on agreeing with her without further argument:: Self: Maybe he's intelligent after all...
Host XO_Skye says:
XO: Onscreen.
CNS_Cutter says:
*XO*: Already there, Sir
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Aye.  ::Puts the comm on the screen::
Host CEO_Jax says:
::makes a final comment as he leaves::  XO: I am not certain whether the Ambassador would be safer here or on the planet, considering the company we keep...one thing at a time perhaps?  ::heads off to the transporter room::
AMB_Krej says:
COMM:  Hayden... I am Ambassador Krej.  I am prepared to board your ship.  Of course, this is the second time I've mentioned that, but you take your time.
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Commander, the ambassador is ready to beam aboard.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::arrives in the transporter room::  CNS: Good day Counselor.
OPS_Coreena says:
COMM:  Amb:  We have received your call, one moment sir.
Host XO_Skye says:
COM: Etinad Homeworld: We are ready for the Ambassador to beam aboard.  Our Operations Officer is sending the proper coordinates.
CNS_Cutter says:
::nods:: CEO: Commander.
Host XO_Skye says:
::Nods to Coreena to send the coordinates.::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Sends the coordinates to the transporter room::
OPS_Coreena says:
COMM:  Amb:  Prepare to be beamed aboard.
CMO_Bishop says:
::checks out the main biobeds and turns as a crewmember comes into sickbay:: <Crewman>: You wanted to see me Doctor?
AMB_Krej says:
COMM:  I will continue to be prepared.
CSO_Lys says:
::frustrated as he isn't getting any data from LRS::
CMO_Bishop says:
Crewman Morgan: Yes, you're due for your physical...::points to the biobed:: Over there please.
Host Klord says:
Action the ambassador materializes in TR2
OPS_Coreena says:
::glances at her console::  XO:  The ambassador has been transported aboard.
Host XO_Skye says:
COM: Etinad Homeworld: Be advised, we're preparing to launch three probes to gather more information so we can better help you solve this problem.  They are purely scientific probes.
AMB_Krej says:
::Looks around and notices no welcoming committee::
CMO_Bishop says:
<Morgan>::nods and hops up on the biobed:: CMO: Will this take long? I have some diagnostics to run.
CNS_Cutter says:
::getting impatient:: *XO*: Has the Ambassador changed his mind???
Host XO_Skye says:
*CNS*: I was told he was beaming up presently.
AMB_Krej says:
::walks out of TR2 and begins to wonder the hallways::
CTO_Kordus says:
::monitoring some internal security sensors:: XO: He is on board....
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Check to see if he was beamed aboard.
CMO_Bishop says:
::shoots her a look:: Morgan: It will take as long as it takes, Ensign. Any complaining and I'll purposely take longer. ::smiles sweetly::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Nods:: CTO: Thank you.  Where is he?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Turns around with a frown::  XO:  yes ma'am.
CTO_Kordus says:
::looks:: XO: Currently, the hallway outside transporter room 2.
Host XO_Skye says:
*CNS*: He's outside TR2.  They must have mixed up instructions
CTO_Kordus says:
::cocks an eyebrow, amused at the whole situation::
EO_Davidson says:
::detects a minor power flux in the main power grid and quickly fixes it::
CNS_Cutter says:
*XO*: Lovely.  ::makes a face:: Alright.  On our way there then.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::sighs and walks around a bit::  CNS: You would think these sorts of things wouldn't happen with a *seasoned* crew.
AMB_Krej says:
::Enters the turbo lift::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Why does this day have to start like this.::
CNS_Cutter says:
::takes off out of TR 1 and goes to meet the Ambassador::
CSO_Lys says:
::having heard the XO's request to the planet, he waits for a response::
CMO_Bishop says:
<Morgan>::disgruntled:: CMO: Yes, Doctor.
CNS_Cutter says:
CEO: You would think. ::sarcastic::  Apparently not.
AMB_Krej says:
::activates the TL and heads for the bridge::
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  I do not understand how the instructions were rerouted.  I will run a diagnostic in communications now.
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: I appreciate that, Coreena.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::follows the CNS::  *XO*: Commander, I don't know what just happened, but I certainly hope there will be someone to answer for it by the end of the day.
CMO_Bishop says:
::runs through the full physical with Ensign Morgan::
Host XO_Skye says:
*CEO*: OPS is already checking into it.
CTO_Kordus says:
::speaks up again:: XO: You won't have to wait long, he's on his way to the bridge now
CNS_Cutter says:
::stops at TR 2 and looks around:: CEO: He's not here.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Turning back to her station, starts a level 3 diagnostics.::
EO_Davidson says:
Crewman:You know I don’t know why the CTO really put you down here...I mean all we would have had to do would be locking down Main Engineering.
Host CEO_Jax says:
CNS: Of course he's not...by now I'd bet he's found his way to one of the restricted areas and gotten himself detained by security.  So much for diplomacy.   Perhaps the entire crew needed to go with the Captain.
CNS_Cutter says:
Computer: What is the current position of Ambassador Krej?
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>::checks and double checks the supply list and replaces what is necessary::
CTO_Kordus says:
<Goon1> EO: Then you don't understand our purpose... we are here to watch, not to obstruct his path.  ::thinks:: And whenever the CTO snaps her fingers and gives us orders, she's always right.  Weren't you aware?
AMB_Krej says:
::gets even more irritated when the doors won't open at the bridge.... studies the buttons, then pushes the COMM button::
CNS_Cutter says:
::wouldn't have minded going with him::  CEO: I can't argue with you there.  We do seem to have more then our fair share of these types of problems.
Host Klord says:
<Computer> he is being held in TL one just outside the bridge. Entrance has been denied as you ordered
CTO_Kordus says:
Self: That ought to piss the Ambassador off....
CSO_Lys says:
::wonders what is taking the planet so long in replying, her really wants to get some data on these disappearances::
AMB_Krej says:
COMM:  Hayden bridge....  is there anyone onboard that has an idea of what is going on?  I am an Ambassador and expect to be treated as such, not locked in your silly elevator after no one meets me when I beam onboard
Host CEO_Jax says:
CNS: Lovely...as if things couldn't go more wrong.  Let us go, at least he can have a few faces to yell at when he gets back to this level.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Keeps an eye on all messages.::
EO_Davidson says:
Goon1:No one is ever right all the time. Yes I do understand your purpose as I was a Security Officer at one time. Just don't get in my way ::gets up and pushes the Goon out of the way::
CMO_Bishop says:
::finishes the physical:: Morgan: There you go now ensign, you can go back to your work....::mutters:: since it's so much more important to you than your health.
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Sir, the ambassador would like to come upon the bridge.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::walks to a panel and addresses the computer::  Computer: Send the turbolift the Ambassador is currently in, back to this level.
CNS_Cutter says:
CEO: You sure we can't just hide instead? ::heads towards the TL anyway::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Sighs wondering what in the world happened THIS time.:: OPS: I hear that..... *Ambassador*: Where exactly are you.
Host CEO_Jax says:
CNS: I don't believe that would be the "diplomatic overture" required.
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  As for the diagnostics, everything checks out fine.
CTO_Kordus says:
::glares:: Self: Fool.... she IS always right....
CNS_Cutter says:
CEO: Perhaps not but it still seems like a good idea to me.
AMB_Krej says:
*XO*  Apparently on my way for another ride.  You have an interesting way of greeting diplomatic visitors.  I will be expecting to see your Captain soon.
CTO_Kordus says:
::just shakes her head::
Host Klord says:
<Etinad Homeworld> COM: Hayden,  the ambassador will give you all relevant information on what you are allowed to do.
CMO_Bishop says:
::closes her tricorder and shoves it and a hypo into her lab coat pocket:: Manning: I'm heading to the bridge to check my station there. Let me know if you need me.
Host XO_Skye says:
CSO: We'd better wait to launch the probes until I meet with the Ambassador.
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>CMO: Yes Doctor.
CMO_Bishop says:
::heads out the doors and into the nearest TL::
Host CEO_Jax says:
::Waits outside the turbolift doors for the lift to arrive, dreading its contents::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Glances at her husband::  CSO:  I do not believe that is the response you were hoping for.
CSO_Lys says:
::smiles::  XO: In that case, I'll put them back in storage so they don't get dusty.
Host Klord says:
Action: the TL opens in front of the CEO and the Cns with the ambassador inside
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: Ah Ambassador, I humbly apologize for the confusion.
Host XO_Skye says:
CSO: Feed the coordinates of the sectors that the ships have disappeared from to the FCO.
CSO_Lys says:
::turns and smiles at his wife::  OPS:  Guess it just means I have some free time.
CNS_Cutter says:
::wonders if waving the white flag might not be the best idea as she gives her best dazzling, yet welcoming, smile::
CMO_Bishop says:
:;enters the TL:: TL: Bridge
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: It appears coordinates got mixed up.  I am terribly sorry.  Let me welcome you to the Hayden
AMB_Krej says:
::steps out of the TL::  CEO:  You are the two victims your apparently inept command crew has given me?
Host XO_Skye says:
CSO: Don't write it off yet.  We may yet get permission.  We are here to aid them in finding their missing ships.
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: I am Commander....
EO_Davidson says:
::takes the ladder up to the upper engineering station and decided to work up there with out the bother of the Goons::
AMB_Krej says:
::looks him up and down::  CEO:  And you are?
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB:  Ah, yes indeed, that would be us.  I am Commander Jax, Chief Engineer, Second Officer, and part of said inept command crew.  ::Gives a little bit of a glare::
CSO_Lys says:
XO: I'm sure you will Commander... eventually. 
CMO_Bishop says:
::feels the shaft zoom upwards as her stomach lurches::
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: And this is Commander Cutter, our Counselor.  She will be your host during your stay.
AMB_Krej says:
CEO:  I don't know that I would claim that Commander.  ::looks over at the CNS::  She'll do
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: I'd like to extend my apologies for the mix up, Ambassador.  Hopefully your stay with us will be less confusing.
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Between the three vessels, there is a lot of communication activity.  However, the general area is fairly normal.
AMB_Krej says:
CEO/CNS:  I certainly hope so CNS.  So...   am I to understand that a full Ambassador only rates a reception from two Commanders onboard the Hayden.
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Understandable.  Keep me informed of anything out of the ordinary.
CMO_Bishop says:
::feels her stomach churn as the lift halts and the doors open before her::
CSO_Lys says:
::walks over to the OPS console and watches his wife work::
Host Klord says:
Action: the Dr gets shooting pains in her abdomen
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: Our Captain is away at the moment, unavoidable business with Starfleet Command, I'm afraid.
OPS_Coreena says:
::nodding, looks up with a smile at her husband as redirects a request for astrometrics.::
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: Otherwise, of course, he would be the one to meet you. ::adds::
CMO_Bishop says:
::feels her knees buckle:: Whispers: Ow!...::places her hand on her stomach::
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: And Commander Skye, our Executive Officer is currently attending to duties.
AMB_Krej says:
CEO/CNS:  I would assume you have someone standing in that role?  Or are you just winging things?
CSO_Lys says:
OPS: You do that well, and with such grace.  ::smiles::
CTO_Kordus says:
::hears something faint:: CMO: Are you all right?
OPS_Coreena says:
CSO:  I had one of the best teachers.
Host XO_Skye says:
::Hearing the Ow, stands from her chair and turns around.:: CMO: Jerlia?
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: Commander Skye is our acting Captain at the moment, I am filling in her vacancy.
CNS_Cutter says:
::okay, she decides.  This was sucking already.::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Heads over to her quickly.:: CMO: What's wrong?
AMB_Krej says:
CEO/CNS:  Very well...  before you take me to the bridge, which of you has been assigned as my personal slave?
CMO_Bishop says:
::straightens awkwardly, tugging her jacket around her again:: XO: Just a little tummy ache that's all...::grins weakly at Sam::
CNS_Cutter says:
::winces at the term::  AMB: I prefer host?
CSO_Lys says:
::nods his approval::
Host CEO_Jax says:
::sighs slightly, hoping Keely won't kill him by the end of the day::
Host XO_Skye says:
CMO: I'm not only your friend, but a Betazoid who can see you're lying through your teeth.
CNS_Cutter says:
::puts on a *really* bright smile::
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  You may prefer that CNS, but in the tradition of my people, a senior Ambassador rates at least one personal slave.  Which of you is it?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Glances over at the XO and CMO::
CSO_Lys says:
OPS: Do you have any plans tonight?
CMO_Bishop says:
::chuckles and mutters in a low voice:: XO: I'm fine Sam really... it's probably just growing pains...
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Why don't you escort the CMO to sickbay.
CNS_Cutter says:
::He wasn't kidding?!?  Turns and glares at the CEO::
CSO_Lys says:
::looks up wondering what’s wrong with the CMO - his brow wrinkles::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Turns back around::  CSO:  Actually, I was thinking of going on a date.  ::Smiles as she stands and walks over to the CMO::
Host XO_Skye says:
CMO: Jerlia, get yourself checked out.
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: We understand cultural differences Ambassador, and will do our best to follow them.  ::looks at the CNS::  The CNS here will be...your ...::chokes on the word::...slave...
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: Ah... I was unaware of that particular tradition.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Stands before the doctor:: CMO:  May I assist you?  ::glances at the doctor and for a moment, her old sight returns, only to vanish as if it were not there.::
CNS_Cutter says:
::glares::
AMB_Krej says:
CEO:  Very well.  You may now escort me to the bridge and introduce me to your XO.
CMO_Bishop says:
::looks around at everyone staring at her and feels her color rise:: XO: I'm okay Sam, really... I just did a check up on myself this morning... everything's okay...
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: Actually sir, he is kidding.  We don't have that tradition here.  At all.
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: Excuse me a moment.
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  Think of it as a learning experience Commander.
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  That is OK, I can perform one as well to verify your own readings... just to be on the safe side.
Host XO_Skye says:
CMO: Indulge a friend.  Let Coreena escort you to sickbay, or I'll make it an order.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::pulls the CNS aside forcefully::
CNS_Cutter says:
::smiles... with her teeth in full force:: AMB: I...
CNS_Cutter says:
::oomph!::
Host CEO_Jax says:
::in hushed tones::  Cns: Just play nice about it ok?  It's just a title, I don't expect you to do anything you would object to.
CMO_Bishop says:
::sighs:: XO/OPS: Okay....::shoots the XO a look of "you win....this time"::
AMB_Krej says:
::glances at his chronograph and taps his foot impatiently....  why were these two not taking him to the bridge?::
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  Doctor?
CNS_Cutter says:
::grinding her teeth:: CEO: Just a title?  Its not "just" a title.  And I'm going to convince my husband to kill you when he comes back.
CMO_Bishop says:
::nods to the TL:: OPS: Shall we?
Host CEO_Jax says:
CNS: Diplomatic overtures CNS...we all have to make sacrifices...I'm not happy about this either.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::turns back to the AMB::
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB: I have duties that must be attended to Ambassador.  Unless you need anything further of me, I shall take my leave.  The Counselor can assist you with anything you should need.
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  Think of it this way.  It is most likely the ambassador will soon come to the bridge.  Considering what we have learned so far, sickbay may be a much nicer place.  ::enters the TL::
CSO_Lys says:
::as the CMO and OPS leave the bridge, he walks down near the XO::  XO: You don't really think anything was wrong, do you?
CNS_Cutter says:
CEO: Then YOU wear the damn slave collar! ::hisses::
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  Right now, my needs are simple.  Take me to the bridge and introduce me to your XO.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::gives the CNS a very hard, cold stare::
Host XO_Skye says:
CSO: I know she was in more discomfort than she let on.....that's all I know.  Coreena and her staff will check her out.  I have every confidence in that.
CMO_Bishop says:
OPS: Oh? He's not very nice?
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*:Commander...I have that report you wanted ready.
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: Actually sir, that’s not really possible at the moment. ::ignores Jax now, totally pissed::  How about I show you to your rooms and then give you a tour of the ship?
Host CEO_Jax says:
*EO*: Ah, excellent, I shall be down momentarily.
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  He does not give the impression of being a very tolerable individual.  For that matter... Computer, sickbay.  ... have any of the ambassadors who have come aboard this ship since my arrival?
CSO_Lys says:
::nods, the concern still on his face::  XO: I suppose it won't be long before your guest makes his way up here.  Perhaps I should dust my console.  ::heads back up to SCI::
Host CEO_Jax says:
AMB/CNS: If you'll excuse me...::begins to walk down the corridor, a little faster than normal.::
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  Since your XO needs my permission to begin this mission, don't you think she may want to talk to me?  Why is it not possible to see her?
Host Klord says:
<Computer> OPS: Negative
Host CEO_Jax says:
::finds the nearest turbolift and takes it to Main Engineering::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Blinks::  Computer:  Why?
CNS_Cutter says:
::mutters "coward" behind the CEO's back as he runs away::
Host CEO_Jax says:
::Arrives, taking note of the security guards::  EO: Your timing is impeccable.
CMO_Bishop says:
::chuckles softly and rubs the side of her growing tummy where the shooting pain was:: OPS: I think that I just might hold out in Sickbay then... you'll let me know when he's gone?
Host XO_Skye says:
FCO: Take us to the coordinates that the CSO fed you.
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: I'm sorry, Sir.  She's currently occupied.  As you get settled in your quarters I'll let her know you would like to talk to her, of course.
CTO_Kordus says:
::a cleverly disguised goon follows the CEO with his eyes as he enters, assesses him to not be a threat, and then goes about his work::
Host XO_Skye says:
<FCO> XO: Aye, Ma'am.
EO_Davidson says:
::looks down from the upper work station::CEO:Thoght you could use a break
Host CEO_Jax says:
::turns to the goon and practically yells with all the pent up frustration::  Goon: I'm the Chief Engineer for crying out loud!
Host XO_Skye says:
<FCO>::Sets course for the first coordinate the CSO gave him.::
AMB_Krej says:
::sighs::  CNS:  Very well CNS.  The efficiency on this ship seems somewhat lacking, but it will give you the opportunity to study the proper preparation of my food.  I brought along simple instructions.
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  I can do that.  However, I understand he may be with us awhile.
Host XO_Skye says:
CSO: How important are those probes to you, Talan?
CNS_Cutter says:
::decides to ignore the last part and smiles winningly as she leads him to his quarters::
CTO_Kordus says:
<Goon> ::Thinks Jax needs a hot female superior to start snapping her fingers at him..... goes about his work, unphased::
CMO_Bishop says:
::groans:: OPS: Lovely.
CSO_Lys says:
XO: In my opinion they are essential.  I prefer not flying blind into an area of space where ships are disappearing.
Host CEO_Jax says:
EO: I could...unfortunately I don't have time for one, I have to get back to the bridge.  ::stops in his office and makes a few personal notes regarding the CNS...most important of which is "Don't string her up for this incident like you would your crewmen...it'll only be worse in the end.::
Host CEO_Jax says:
::a small note at the end read, meet with Captain...time to be determined...by the Captain....::
CMO_Bishop says:
::straightens as the pain seems to have completely gone:: OPS: There now, see? It was probably just a growing pain... it happens...:;grins::
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  I don't suppose you would like me to hide out with you?  ::Giving a rare smile, steps of the TL and heads for sickbay, leaving the computer pondering her question::
Host Klord says:
<Computer> I am not programmed to speculate on the causalities of behavior of Ambassador.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::heads out of Engineering and takes a turbolift to the bridge::
OPS_Coreena says:
Computer, try...
AMB_Krej says:
::enters the quarters::   CNS:  THESE are the VIP quarters onboard this ship?
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I don’t like them in here anymore then you do sir ::yells out after him::
Host XO_Skye says:
*Amb*: This is Commander Skye.  We're approaching the last known location of a group of missing ships.  We would like your permission to launch three probes to aid in our search.
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: They are.  I hope they are to your liking.
Host CEO_Jax says:
::stalks onto the bridge, his face a brighter shade of blue than normal::
CMO_Bishop says:
::smiles at Coreena:: OPS: Sure, I would love the company....
CTO_Kordus says:
::figures on having some fun, leans over to the CEO's console:: CEO: Find the right TR? ::whispering::
AMB_Krej says:
::decides to cut her some slack:  CNS:  They will do.  You will find the requirements of your position on this data disk.  I would suggest you study them as some are quite complicated.
CMO_Bishop says:
::exits the TL and waits for Coreena::
Host CEO_Jax says:
CTO: Lieutenant Commander ::being sure to acknowledge the full rank:: isn't there something you should be concentrating on?  Your duties perhaps?
AMB_Krej says:
*XO*  Apparently I am not allowed to see or speak to you Commander.  You'll have to wait till that restriction is lifted.
Host Klord says:
<Computer> indications of high stress levels in humanoid species tend to lead to erratic behavior would indicate a possible causal effect
Host XO_Skye says:
::Hearing the doors open.:: CEO: From the look on your face, I take it everything did NOT go well?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Following along::  CMO:  Are you and your son looking forward to the baby girl?
CNS_Cutter says:
::mentally shakes her head and goes to read these so called 'instructions'::
CTO_Kordus says:
::smirks, having gotten the reaction she wanted...  that'll teach the lot of them, messing with her precious goons::
Host Klord says:
Action: the Dr has another pain in her abdomen
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: THAT is putting it mildly.
Host XO_Skye says:
::Bites her tongue.:: *AMB*: Why don't you have the Counselor escort you to the bridge.  It'll be a pleasure to meet you.
CMO_Bishop says:
::grins:: OPS: How did you know it was a girl?
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: I may be interested in cultural interactions, and meeting new people, but I want nothing more to do with that man.  He is unfit for his title.
Host XO_Skye says:
::Turning around in her seat.:: CEO: What happened, Jax?
CSO_Lys says:
XO: Looks like we will be there in 5 minutes or so.  I suggest we drop out of warp early to obtain good scans before entering the sectors.
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  I knew that before...  ::A frown touches her face and she goes silent.::
CMO_Bishop says:
::doubles over again:: OPS: Ow!...Oh crap....
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: Why does that not surprise me.  I don't think any of the Ambassadors we've had aboard have been.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Touches the doctors shoulders::  CMO:  Ma'am?
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: He was beyond rude, far past disrespectful, not even close to understanding, and just completely a ::untranslatable::.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks down at the doorway, sickbay not much further::  CMO: We are almost there.
CTO_Kordus says:
::raises an eyebrow, not having heard such strong language since Lunar V::
AMB_Krej says:
*XO*  What a wonderful idea.  It's a shame that when I suggested it to your CNS that she wouldn't do it.  Perhaps she'll obey you.
CMO_Bishop says:
::winces slightly:: OPS: Just another tinge, that's all....
Host XO_Skye says:
FCO: You heard the CSO.  Slow to impulse.
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: Do you see how blue I am right now...I've been this appalled very few times in my life...and there have been a lot of years to be appalled in!
CNS_Cutter says:
::drops the damn instructions and turns to the Ambassador, seeing nothing but red::
CSO_Lys says:
::thinks that the CEO is getting what he deserves... bug killer.... starts scanning::
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  We will see... Here... ::Puts her arm around the doctor and leads her down the hall very slowly::
CMO_Bishop says:
:;walks with OPS to sickbay::
Host XO_Skye says:
*Amb*: Actually she was following my orders to the "t".  Please do not blame your host for my desire to make you comfortable before we met.
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: I would not give the most insubordinate of officers the task of being host to this man...and I am certainly sorry for the Counselor.  I can only imagine what more she has to put up with.
CTO_Kordus says:
::has to bite the inside of her cheeks to keep from smirking anymore.... if he's this incensed at a rude person, she'd LOVE to introduce him to some of the people she grew up with::
AMB_Krej says:
*XO*  I see.  Well, I certainly wouldn't want one of your subordinates to think on their own.  We will be there.....  eventually.
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: She's put up with Jason, I'm sure she'll at least hold up under this man....I have every confidence in her.
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: Diplomatic overtures be damned...that man is a disgrace to the title Ambassador, and the word diplomacy.
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>::looks up as the doctor enters sickbay with Coreena:: OPS/CMO: Doctor?
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: I recognize that you are a visitor here and that I should be bending over backwards to accommodate you... HOWEVER...  I am NOT your slave.. or anyone else’s.  If you require something, let me know.  I'll help.  But these? ::shakes her head:: I don't think so.
OPS_Coreena says:
::As the doors slide open, the enter the quiet room.::  CMO:  Do you have a preference?
Host CEO_Jax says:
::storms off back to his console, almost glowing blue::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Stands and walks over to the CEO.......rather quietly.:: CEO: Jax, do you trust me?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks at Manning::  Manning:  The doctor needs another prenatal check up.
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  Are they too difficult for you?  I can have them written in simpler language.
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: Implicitly.
CSO_Lys says:
::tries to keep his attention on his scans, not the floor show::
CMO_Bishop says:
::shakes her head:: OPS: No, this one is fine...::motions to the biobed to her right::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Helps her over and up onto the table.::
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>::blinks in surprise:: OPS: Pre-NATAL?
CTO_Kordus says:
::eyeballs Lys and grins::
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: Than trust me that I will do my best to take care of the situation but to be firm with him.  I will try to minimize your contact with him, but if you trust me, you'll do your best to be civil to him.  We may hate him, but he may be necessary in completing our mission.
OPS_Coreena says:
Manning:  Well, it would be post natal if the baby were already born, correct?  I can perform the procedure if you do not wish to.
CNS_Cutter says:
::shakes her head:: AMB: For someone who is an ambassador your diplomacy skills are sorely lacking.  You also seem to be a little confused as to the typical characteristics of someone who is a 'guest'.  Insulting me and generally being a pain in the butt will not help matters.
CMO_Bishop says:
::looks at Manning:: Manning: I'll explain later, just get my instruments....
CSO_Lys says:
::looking up he sees the grin on the CTO's face... unsure if he has seen her smile before he stares for a moment before smiling himself and returning to his work::
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: That being said, I'll leave you to get settled.
CNS_Cutter says:
::turns and heads for the door, muttering under her breath::
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  WAIT ONE MOMENT!
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: You do not have to worry, I will be the model diplomat when facing him.  I have been around long enough to learn when is the right time to be truthful, and when is not.
Host CEO_Jax says:
XO: I will hate him with every ounce of blue blood in my body, but so help me, I will be civil.
CNS_Cutter says:
::whirls around once more, balancing on the balls of her feet and ready to fight:: AMB: Was there something I forgot?  I stuttered?
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: That's all I ask.
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>::nods and heads off to return with the equipment::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Stands beside the doctor, watching Manning::
CTO_Kordus says:
::smirking, this kind of controversy being one of the few things she takes enjoyment in... leans over her console after allowing herself a bit of amusement at how they all let themselves get so upset with the man, having bigger fish to fry::\
Host XO_Skye says:
::Tugs her tunic down and returns to her seat.::
CMO_Bishop says:
OPS: This might be hard to believe, but only you and Commander Skye knew about this.... I guess it was only a matter of time before people would start to notice....::looks down at her belly::... not like I can hide it very well now, huh?
Host CEO_Jax says:
::takes a deep breath and calms himself down, his color returning to a more natural blue::
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  You are the first person I have met with the moral fortitude and personal courage needed to be a peer to a Etinad Ambassador.  I name you friend of the Etinads and equal partner with me.
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>::runs his tricorder over her tummy as the CMO watches intently... praying everything's okay::
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  I am sorry doctor.  As far along as you were, I did not think it was something still kept a secret.
CNS_Cutter says:
::stops abruptly and almost visibly deflates with the shock::  AMB: Uh.. well.. um... Thank you.
CMO_Bishop says:
OPS: Me too, but no one's said anything to me about it so...::shrugs::
AMB_Krej says:
CNS:  You are welcome.  Now...  shall we go meet your XO?
CNS_Cutter says:
::smiles brilliantly... for real this time:: AMB: Yes, lets.  After you.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks over at manning curiously::
CNS_Cutter says:
::waits for him to exit before following him to the TL::
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>CMO/OPS: Heart rate’s in check... vitals are fine... placenta's in check.... uterine wall is showing sudden signs of growth....
AMB_Krej says:
::heads toward the TL, holding the TL doors for the CNS::
CMO_Bishop says:
::nods and smiles:: Manning/OPS: See? It was just my belly stretching...
CNS_Cutter says:
::nods her thanks and order the TL to the bridge::
CMO_Bishop says:
::rubs her sore spot:: Manning/OPS: It's gonna leave one heck of a stretch mark though..
OPS_Coreena says:
::Smiles::  CMO:  Growing pains... she will be a big baby.
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>CMO: Umm, Sir. You do realize that this will have to go on file and in a report to the Captain.
CNS_Cutter says:
::steps out of the TL and onto the bridge, Ambassador behind her::
CMO_Bishop says:
OPS: Uh huh... don't remind me. I'm just glad it isn't twins...
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  That is assuming the captain has not already figured it out himself.
CTO_Kordus says:
::looks up as an unfamiliar face enters the bridge::
AMB_Krej says:
::stares coolly::  XO:  Is someone in charge here?
Host CEO_Jax says:
::closes his eyes as he notes the newcomers, and represses the urge to leap over the railing yelling like a Klingon and strangle the Ambassador until HE turns blue::
CNS_Cutter says:
XO: Commander Skye, may I present Ambassador Krej.
AMB_Krej says:
::nods his thanks to the CNS then stares at the XO::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Stands and turns around.:: Amb: Extends her hand to the Ambassador.  It is an honor to meet you.  As the Counselor so aptly said, I'm Commander Samantha Skye.
CTO_Kordus says:
::looks him up and down, isn't impressed, and goes back to her work monitoring her goons... it appears some people don't like them very much::
CMO_Bishop says:
::shakes her head:: OPS: Trust me, Coreena, not many do. I haven't made many social trips lately so I'm pretty sure the CO doesn't know.... If he did, I'D know....
CSO_Lys says:
::looks up to see the AMB has joined the bridge - raises an eyebrow::
OPS_Coreena says:
CO:  He would be unhappy about another baby aboard?
AMB_Krej says:
::shakes the XO's hand briefly::  XO:  Yes you are.  Please explain to me why a senior diplomat was barred from your bridge?  I'll need that for my report to Starfleet.
CNS_Cutter says:
::winces slightly::
CMO_Bishop says:
:;grins:: OPS: I'm not sure really... but I guess we're going to find out soon now aren't we?
Host XO_Skye says:
AMB: You were not barred, Sir.  My instructions were to show you the ship and help you get settled in.  If the computer did not allow you onto the bridge, it is because extra precautions are being taken to ensure your safety.
CMO_Bishop says:
<Manning>CMO: All is in check, Doctor. I'll submit the report to Captain Cutter in a half hour....
CNS_Cutter says:
AMB: I can assure you, Ambassador, it was meant not as a disrespect.
OPS_Coreena says:
CMO:  Besides, he will learn.
Host Klord says:
