Prologue: The Quarantine has been lifted for the Hayden's Crew and they are able to get a little R&R in on the station.

Host Rich says:
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Begin Mission}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sits at his console on the bridge, continuing the nearly non-stop upgrade to the LCARS protocol. He's tired. But he can't stop. No, no. Must not stop.::

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::Standing at Tac 1 maintaining her post::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Ignores the release to R&R provided by the station and works. A bit of rest is the last thing he needs right now--so says the instincts that make him go, at least::

Host Rich says:
Action: The ship has been shut down to just life support for needed maintenance.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::Sits in his office and notices the lower level of power:: *OPS*: You playing around with the power systems again?

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
Self:  Down time yes something Lone Wolf and I need; Holodeck time.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Mutters curses under his breath as his authority is suddenly usurped and power is just as suddenly shut down, leaving him with his console, sure, but now a very awkward feeling that would come from staying at it, especially since it was being lit with that eerie red light now::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Waiting in the Turbo Lift as it heads for the Bridge.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
*CEO*: No, Ensign. That was the Starbase deciding we didn't need power anymore.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*OPS*: I see.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::Shuts down her station and heads for her quarters and runs into the captain as the lift doors open::

Host Rich says:
Action: The Turbo Lift that the Captain is in suddenly comes to a stop.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Leaves a nasty message for the maintenance workers to relay to station command and closes out his console, muttering things under his breath as he walks away::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *All*: Everyone has been granted Shore Leave aboard ES 217. I expect everyone to take this leave and report to the station for some much needed...rest. ::She sighs::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*ES217*: This is Chief Davidson...why are you shutting down my systems?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::gets up and goes out to Main Engineering, dimly lit I might add::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: Patterson to Davidson. ::She looks around, a bit annoyed that the lift has just stopped::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
Self: No respect for a ship's crew anymore. Damned arrogant Starbases always deciding what to do with their docked ships. ::Crawls through Jeffries Tubes to reach the docking port::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: Go ahead Captain.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::Steps in-front of the console near the warp core::

Host Rich says:
@<ES217 OPS> *CEO*: There is some required maintenance that needs to be done to the Hayden and we need the power levels to a minimum to do them.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: It seems that the Turbo Lifts have ceased in motion. I am now stuck on this lift. Is there a reason why this has occurred?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
@::Escapes the confines of the Jeffries Tubes and walks through the docking port and into the Starbase, suddenly feeling like... gambling::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: Stand By captain...*ES217*: What required maintenance...all repairs are complete and I didn't authorize any other maintenance to any ship systems.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*:It seems that the OPS on ES217 shut down power to minimal levels...I can use the emergency transporter and get you out of there that way or you can climb out Captain...choice is yours.

Host Rich says:
@<ES217_OPS> *CEO*: I am not sure what they are Engineering said that they had some last minute upgrades and needed the power levels lowered.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She waits in the lift, a bit annoyed:: *CEO*: Inform ES 217 that the Commanding Officer of the Hayden is 'stuck' in the Turbo Lift, which requires power in order to move. ::Is a bit irritated by this::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*ES217_OPS*: Restore power levels to the Turbo Lift Systems.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::The doors to the TL decide not to open:: Outloud: Iiiiiiieeeeee bloody door!!

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
@::Does as any good Federation officer who wants to gamble would do, and heads to the holosuites::

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::Smacks it a few times just for good measure::

Host Rich says:
@<ES217_OPS> *CEO*: I am sorry I cannot do that.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: Captain is seems that the Engineering Crews on ES217 needed the power levels lowered for some more upgrades.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*CEO*: What the blazes is going on here I can't get off the bridge.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*ES217_OPS*: Do it now or I will do it my self...Restore power to the TL systems now. We have people stuck in the lifts.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
@::Upon arriving at the holosuites, he picks an empty one and gives it the proper command--which is to say:: Computer: Any casino program with poker.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She leans against the wall as she waits:: Self: This was not conducted in a professional manner. ::She pauses:: *CEO*: Upgrades that I did not authorize, Ensign. ::She taps her Combadge:: *ES 217 OPS*: ES 217 Operations, this is Captain Patterson of the Hayden. May I inquire why our systems have been powered down without my authority?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Respond....recognize Daivdson Jay Jordan...

Host Rich says:
@<ES217_OPS> *CEO*: The best I can do is transport the personal off the ship and to the station.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
@::Is, before he knows it, sitting at a poker table with a modest stack of chips in front of him::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*TO*: We seem to be having power problems...stand by

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*CEO*: Standing by.....

Host Rich says:
@<ES217_OPS. *CEO*: Do you wish me to transport all personal to the station.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*ES217 OPS*: Yes...

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Respond....recognize Daivdson Jay Jordan Ensign Chief Engineering Officer....

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
@::Takes a look at the first hand dealt to him--the game being Texas Hold'em, of course--and sees an 8-2. He feels bold.:: Table: All in. ::Pushes that modest stack into the middle of the table::

Host Rich says:
@<ES217_OPS> *CEO*: Roger doing so now.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
@<Mean Guy> Verradi: Call.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*CEO*: Sir I want to get to my quarters and pick up my pup and then leave for the station and some quality time with him.  What is the hold up?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*TO*:All personnel are being transported to ES217

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
@::Mutters various things that would not be appropriate in a PG environment::

Host Rich says:
Action: All the personnel have been transported to the station.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*CEO*: Make sure my pup is transported as well.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::Hopes he got the message before she got transported::

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::Looks around the station:: Self: Wow this is huge.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Her eyes widen as she appears on ES 217:: *ES217_OPS*: Operations, this is Captain Patterson of the Hayden. ::She sighs - such a skillful bunch aboard the station:: *ES217_OPS*: May I now inquire why I have been transported to the station?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Throws down his cards in disgust:: Self: I hate poker.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Mean Guy> Verradi: And poker hates you.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She begins to walk along the corridor where she was transported:: Self: I believe I am going to need to speak with whomever is in charge here.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::calls ahead to the Captain:: CO: Captain Patterson ::runs to catch up::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Makes various obscene gestures in the direction of the mean fellow:: Computer: End program.

Host Rich says:
,ES217> CO: Sorry Captain those were the only order that the station commander gave me.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
Self: I hate stupid programs. I could write a much better one... ::Shakes his head and walks out of the holosuite::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She slows her pace a bit:: *ES217_OPS*: Who is the Station Commander at this time? ::She nods towards the CEO in acknowledgement::

Host Rich says:
Action: The holodeck program doesn't end and the mean fellow comes at OPS fixing for a fight.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Now, naturally, has a desire for alcohol::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::Catches up:: CO: What is going on? do you know Captain? I wanted to work on my experiments.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::As he is about to walk through the open doors to fulfill this desire, however, he is grabbed by the shoulder and turned around. And then punched in the face::

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::Paces back and forth waiting for her pup::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: If I knew, Ensign, I would not have inquired as to why the Turbo Lift ceased moving. ::She awaits response from ES217 OPS:: CEO: It seems that this station is a bit unorganized.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: So it seems...So it seems. 

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Receives a glancing blow, and suddenly feels like Super Kitty. With all-too-much eagerness, he punches the hologram back, attempting to send it into last week::

Host Rich says:
<ES217_OPS> CO: That would be Adm Quin for the moment.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*ES217_OPS*: Understood. Patterson out. ::She closes the comm and reopens it:: *Quin*: Captain Patterson to Admiral Quin.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*CEO*: Did you remember to transport my pup from my quarters?

Host ADM_Quin says:
*CO* : Captain this is Admiral Quin what can I do for you.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*TO*:Yes....should be done momentarily.

Host ADM_Quin says:
Action: After a brief furry of punches the holodeck program ends.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*CEO*: Thank you.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*Quin*: It seems, Admiral, that you have authorized turning off power to the Hayden. Is that correct, sir? ::She speaks with respect even though she is annoyed::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Is now breathing hard after that ordeal with the hologram. And he wants more.:: Computer: Computer, give me a Vulcan that I can... practice tactical defense on.

Host ADM_Quin says:
*CO*: Yes I am sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused but Star fleet sent down these last few updates and insisted that they be installed before the Hayden left port.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
Computer: Make it a Vulcan female, actually. For... tactical purposes.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...Before any updates are done I want to look over them.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*Quin*: I understand, sir. However, we were not informed of this before hand, which caused a few minor problems. I just wanted to make you aware of this, sir and would hope to be informed next time. ::She nods towards Jay::

Host ADM_Quin says:
Action: The computer complies after a few seconds.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Upon seeing the hologram, a vague hissing sound is produced:: Computer: Set skill level to minimum.

Host ADM_Quin says:
*CO*: Captain again I am sorry but the emergency that Starfleet insisted that they be installed didn't give me the time to inform anyone.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*Quin*: An emergency upgrade, Admiral? ::Does not make sense... if they needed to upgrade they could stay an extra few hours or days::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Doesn't bother to wait for confirmation of his request. With the wrath of a very angry Caitian-Human hybrid, he leaps at the Vulcan which has the defensive capabilities of a punching bag::

Host ADM_Quin says:
Action: The skill are set to maximum instead.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Attempts to bite! Hard! But is somehow suddenly pinned on the ground with a knee in his back and his right arm in a position it definitely should not be in::

Host ADM_Quin says:
*CO* Again Captain It seem that Starfleet has other thing planned.

Host ADM_Quin says:
Action: OPS suddenly hears a snap in his right arm.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Winces:: Computer: Agh! End program you sadistic piece of--AGH!

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Not satisfied with that answer in the slightest:: *Quin*: How long are these upgrades going to take, sir? ::She keeps her tone respectful even though she is a bit annoyed::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...I don’t like this.

Host ADM_Quin says:
Action: The program ends and OPS finds that he has a broken arm.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods towards the CEO:: CEO: Neither do I, Ensign.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::Is getting impatient and it is beginning to show::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: May I make a suggestion?

Host ADM_Quin says:
*CO* Captain they say that it should only take a couple of hours.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Inhales sharply as his arm falls to the ground now that it has been released:: All: Damn you faulty pieces of machinery! Where were the safeties?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*Quin*: Understood, Admiral. Thank you for your time. ::She continues to walk:: CEO: Once the upgrades are complete I want a full diagnostic on our systems.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::Follows the CO:: CO: Captain..I would like permission to go back aboard and supervise the upgrades...

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Gradually brings himself to a stand, though every other movement he makes elicits a jolt of pain in his arm::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Denied, Ensign. I believe they want us all here for some reason. ::She pauses:: CEO: You will get your chance to look over everything once we are allowed back aboard the Hayden.

TO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*CEO*: How long is this going to take?  Lone Wolf is not happy when he is left alone too long.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Moves with the best speed he can muster--without causing excruciating pain, of course--to the Starbase's sickbay::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::Visually frustrated:: CO :Aye Captain....*TO*:Check with the ES217 OPS.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: I don't like anyone touching my Engines without me knowing about it Captain.
