Summary:
The USS Nighthawk is Docked at the Starbase.  The Lieutenant Commander Monroe, Counselor Varesh, Lieutenant Spencer are meeting with Captain Jalazha.  They find out that the Coobla are linked in someway, and that there is an extremist group called the “Callers” that want to block the Coobla’s transmission.  In mind of redemption, Monroe decided to help Captain Jalazha find the Coobla.  Jalazha helped out with giving the Nighthawk a supply of Dilithium for the ship.  Lieutenant Spencer who is opposed to this decision spoke his mind.  Monroe talked to Spencer later in his office to discuss his feelings.  Meanwhile Lieutenant Lessing, sitting at his station on the bridge fell ill to some unknown virus.  He was forced to be placed in Stasis for the reminder of the trip.

First Officers Log Stardate 10310.04: We are about to meet the Captain of the station and find out if there is a way home for us.

Host Biishe says:
<<<<<<<<<< Down, out and fugatives>>>>>>>>>>

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::In sickbay going over the alien child's chart.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks at Commander Moore and then at the station commander::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Waits to here what they say.::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::in his quarters, feeling ill, decides to go to work on the bridge::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@::Sighs and thinks over what the Captain has just said::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: Commander, if I may ask the Captain a question?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::She watches closes as the alien doctors examine the child and is bemused by their wonderment of her equipment.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Nods:: CNS:Go ahead.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
:: Walks out of the TL and onto the bridge, looking pale::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@Jalazha: Captain, Captain Ofaj said something about the Coobla and sending telepaths... I would like to know more. I am one myself. He made a cryptic comment about The Calling. What is that?

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::Sits at the console, checking that the systems are working correctly at the reduced power levels::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Trying to get these aliens to talk is like pulling teeth.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Whispers to the CSO:: CSO: Lieutenant.  Make your scans through.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Steps into a TL near Main Engineering, after having visited the security team there:: TL: Bridge.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Looks over at Ofaj before turning toward the counselor::  CNS:  There is a theory that the Coobla are linked, more like insects.  There are a few of our people who have what is called, 'the calling'.  There is an extremist group that would like to try using the Callers on the Coobla to see if they can disrupt their communication.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
Alien Doctor:  I was wondering if I could get access to your medical databases...  ::The alien doctor looks at her and grunts.::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::His hands shake, temperature rises::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
Alien Doctor:  So is that a yes or no?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::thinks a moment:: Jalazha: Interesting notion, but it depends on the strength of the Callers' minds and how well they are trained. That is a very dangerous procedure you are talking about there.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Alien Doctor> ::Wishes this woman would shut up.::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::as his hands are shaking, he hits the wrong button, and some where a replicator dishes up fresh cofee::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
<Engineering Officer>  ::Notices coffee appear:: Self: Where did that come from?

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@CNS:  Callers are far and few... ::avoids looking at the Ofaj::  And are part of the royal family.  Rarely are they trained, except for those on the thrown and two immediate heirs.  You can see the problem with such an experiment should it fail.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Alien Doctors> ::Bundling the child up they gently lift her and place her on the cart they brought with them.  They ready her for transport.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@Jalazha: Its glaringly obvious yes... it will take more than four or five trained persons to be able to do what the extremists suggest. Even more so if encountering a totally alien species and mindset.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::his eyes close in irritation, every bit of energy is useful, how can he be so stupid::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
Alien Doctor:  Hey what are you doing?!  She shouldn't be moved just yet!  ::Tries to hold onto the cart but fails.::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@CNS:  And while it might disrupt and give us the advantage, for how long?  Anyways, ::Turns to the XO::  You need to make a decision now.  Shall you leave and search for your home?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Alien Doctors>  ::Ignore Nita and proceed out of sickbay with a security escort on their tail they make their way to the docking ring.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
To no one in particular: Well how rude!

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks at Sid:: XO: The PD wouldn't be an issue, would it?

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Steps off the TL and onto the bridge, wondering why it took so long::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::Does not notice the CTO arrive::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::With the child's chart in hand she heads into her office and begins her report for Starfleet Medical.::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Steps towards his console, looking around the bridge for a moment. It was all so.... Dark...::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Looks at the CNS then looks at Jalazha:: Jalazha: We do not belong here.  But we have helped in destroying a Starbase.  ::Looks again at the Counselor::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::The darkness is easier to work in for him - his eyes are sore and red::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks at the Exec and nods:: XO: Some kind of reparation is definitely called for.... I just don't relish risking my mind and sanity. But I've done it before.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Looks curiously::  XO/CNS:  You have something in mind?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Before she takes a seat behind her desk she goes over to the replicator and orders herself a coffee.  Picking up the cup she takes a sip and hears her tummy rumble.  She then orders a slice a veggie pizza and some french fries with mayonnaise.  Balancing everything she goes to her desk and takes a seat.  Picking up the pizza she takes a bite.::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@XO: Sir, I would advise caution. We have no idea about the background of this universe.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@Jalazha: Just a fleeting thought. If we can get more information on the Coobla, we could find a way to neutralize them.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::Passes out briefly, his head almost hitting the console::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@Jalazha/CNS: Agreed.  But we need to find a way to fuel our ship.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@All: I'm just not sure if the Coobla will notice an outsider trying to observe them. ::pauses::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Leans forward::  CNS:  We know the general area they come from, but all the ships we have sent in, have not come back.  Though... ::Glances at Ofaj before continuing::  we apparently do not have your technology.  You may have the edge we do not?

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Taps a few buttons to monitor power management, simultaneously keeping an eye on the tactical team activity::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@CNS: But what would that do, other then break the Prime Directive? It won't help us find a way home!

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@XO:  Fuel?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Dipping a french fry into the mayonnaise, she brings up her console.  Popping it into her mouth she chews.::  Computer:  Open new file..  Begin with first contact of new alien race.. input tricorder readings of physiology.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@Jalazha: Our ship is losing power, because of the difference in phase shift.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@Jalazha: That's not my call to make, Captain. I can see if I can gather information for you, but the decision to go is completely up to my commanding officers.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Computer>  CMO:  Working

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Wipes his forehead and looks around, searching for other signs of increased temperature and pressure, then spots OPS, jerking forward:: OPS: Aleister! Are you alright? ::Jumps from his seat and towards OPS::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
::nods to the counselor:: XO:  What type of fuel do you use?

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CTO: I'm fine...  just a headache.  I think I’ve been working too hard.  ::his voice is dry and hoarse::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
OPS: You don't look that fine to me... And that jolting you did just now, doesn't look that good either...

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CTO: Trust me I’m fine. ::Raises a hand to input a command - a badly shaking hand::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@Jalahza: We use a Matter/Anti-Matter Dilithium Warp Chamber (Or whatever Technobable is suppose to be here, too lazy to look it up)

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Leans over and speaks quietly with Ofaj a moment.::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@XO:  We have Dilithium crystals.  We do not use them here as they are.... unstable.  Would a supply assist you with your problem?

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: OPS: I'll keep a close eye on you. If I see anything like a few moments ago, I'm calling the doctor.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Silently munches on her french fries as the computer works.::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::His finger slips and another coffee cup materializes, this time, next to the Doctor::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Looks the CSO:: CSO: Lieutenant.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Sees a cup of coffee appear on her desk.:: Self:  What the.....??????  ::Drops the french fry she was about to pop into her mouth.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@;;leans over to Sid:: XO: Sir, I'm willing to try and gather information on the Coobla, with some help from the other telepaths on the ship if they are willing.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sits down at his console, resuming his work, but now also keeping a very close eye on Lessing::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::swears quietly.:: Self: I hope the doctor likes coffee.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Leans over:: CNS: I am for it.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Taps her combadge:: *Bridge*:  Anyone who hears this...I thought we were conserving energy..  a cup of coffee materialized on my desk out of nowhere...if someone is playing with power you are going to have upset doctors who are missing their favorite soap opera "As the Wind Blows...."

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: Understood... we do owe them.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::Cringes as he hears the doctor::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@::Looks up:: XO: We would have to adapt our systems to be compatible with the phase variant of the Dilithium of this universe which would be a tall order given the shape we're in, but possible. However, if it is intended in exchange for our assistance against the Coobla, I must advise against it.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Glances at Lessing:: *CMO*: I think I might just know what caused that.... Doctor, please report to the bridge... Lieutenant Lessing isn't feeling very well, it seems.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::Birefly passes out again::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@CNS: Yes we do, and I intend to assist them as much as I can without endangering the crew.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Looks at the CSO::  CSO:  You and your people have much to answer for.  But that is not our way.  If you need the crystals to get home, they are yours.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: Aye, sir. Anita will have to monitor closely and preferably have a telepathic monitor as well.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::starts inputting commands, very carefully::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
OPS: Alright, Aleister.. You are in no shape at all to be on duty... I called for the doctor to come up here....

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@CSO: Noted, Lieutenant.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Taps the comm and quietly gives some instructions.::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@Jalazha: Don't get me wrong, you have my deepest sympathies for what happened to your station, and we have a bit of the blame for it, but this is a different matter altogether. If we assisted you, we'd be drastically changing the nature of this universe. We don't even belong here.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Sits straight up.:: *CTO*:  What are his symptoms?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@CSO: But My decision stands we will help them.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CTO: You might just be right, a day of rest and i will be back in shape....

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::his words are slurred::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@CSO:  You can not change what was meant to be.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
OPS: Well... That's all up to the doctor...... *CMO*: He's sweating badly... Shaking hands, and he passes out for very brief periods of time...

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@Jalazha: Meant to be? Are you saying we were meant to come here to fight your wars for you? I don't know about your universe, but in mine, we have rules, rules designed to prevent us from doing things like this.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::As the doors open, she watches her yomen bring the slim box over to her.  Opening it, she pulls out a lovely necklase of cut dilithium and holds it to the science officer::  CSO:  Will this do?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
*CTO*:  Ok then, transport him straight to sickbay medical emergency.  ::Gets up and hurries out of her office.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@CSO: That will be enough Lieutenant.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
Tessie/Nicholas:  We have incoming!

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Ignores the CSO comment as an inexperienced officer and continues holding up her necklace.::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
*CMO*: Aye doc... ::Steps to Lessing's console and activates the emergency transport to sickbay:: OPS: Here you go...

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Tessie/Nicholas> ::Rush out of one of the back rooms...faces a little flushed.::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@XO: Sir, I must warn you, that if you decide to go through with this, I will make a note in my log regarding the matter, and bring it to Starfleet's attention if we ever get back home.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@CSO: So noted.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@::Scowls:: Jalazha: Then I will inform you that this should be sufficient.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::She shakes her head and laughs at the sight..ever since they figured out they liked each other... laughs at the memory when she was talking with V and they were in the closet next to them.. Couldn't believe that V didn't notice.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::says nothing during the exchange::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@CSO:  Your graciousness overwhelms me.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Sees Aleister appear on the biobed.  Pulling her tricorder out she rushes over.  Tessie is already activating the diagnostic, Nicholas begins examining his body.::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CTO: Not ye.....  :: Is transported to sickbay::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@::Says nothing, rage boiling all over his body as he accepts the necklace::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  Lessing appears in sickbay.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Gets up near his head.:: OPS:  Aleister, talk to me...

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CMO: Docter, I'm jsut needing rest.  Nothing serious, believe me.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Takes Aleister's place on the big chair, logging him off firts, the logging in with his own access codes::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@CSO:  Your anger would be better directed elsewhere.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::turns to look at the CSO:: CSO: Just your luck, these people are not receiving telepaths...

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
OPS:  Well why don't you let me decide that.   Arm chair doctoring could get a leg amputated you know.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@XO:  No matter what you chose to do in the end, be careful.  Please, don't let your ship into their hands... or your people.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::Sighs:: CMO: Yes Doctor

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Whipers to the CSO:: CSO: Lieutenant Spencer, report back to the ship.  After you have given that necklace to main engineering I want you to report to my office.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::The three doctors get to work on him.::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Routes control of the tactical console to the small console at the center chair::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Turns back to Jalazha:: Jalahza: My people?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> ::Holds up four fingers::  OPS:  Aleister, how many fingers am I holding up?

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
Nicholas: I see eight, but that can't be right.... so if im seeing double, four.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@XO:  If you hold to your promise, you are putting your people in danger as well.  The Coobla are not discriminating.  I would ask one thing...  should you change your mind about helping, at least let us know.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
@::Nods:: XO: Yes Sir. All: If you'll excuse me, I must report back to the ship. ::Stands up and taps his commbadge:: *OPS*: Lieutenent, I need beaming up.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> OPS: Hmmmm sense of humour or a least a stab at logic.. that is good.  ::Opens Aleisters eyes and checks under the lids... yellow as a banana.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@Jalazha: We are very aware of that Captain... we knew that when we joined Starfleet.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  OPS beams the CSO aboard.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
Nicolas: The light hurts, can't i jsut keep my eyes closed.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@Jalazha: I will let you know if we are going to change our minds before we leave, Captain.  But I would doubt we change our minds.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::The surprise is obvious on her face as the man dissappears.::  Interesting... most... ::Pauses::  XO/CNS:  Is there anything else we can be of service to you on?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas>OPS: In a minute.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Frowns at the readings she is getting.  SHe has never seen anything like that.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks at Sid again:: XO: Any information on the Coobla, no matter how small it might seem.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Materialises and storms out of the TR, and doesn't stop until he gets to Main Engineering::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Nods standing::  XO:  For your short term here, my station is yours for resupply.  However, due to tensions and the fact you were involved in the destruction of SB 82, I would keep intermingling to a limit.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@Jalazha: I guess that and a Starmap would help us greatly.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::stands as Jalazha stands:: XO: When we get back, I'll brief Anita on what we propose to do.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::nods:: XO: I will have it arranged and sent to you.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
Nicholas: Well, what have i got?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Stands and extends his hand:: Jalazha: Thank you, Captain.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Begins to confere with Tessie as Nicholas tries to keep Aleistars spirits up.::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  Just within long sensor range, an armata of ships is being picked up.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Walks over to the Engineer standing near the Warp Core:: Engineer: Here, this should make your job a lot easier, but you'll have to make some modifications to our systems or they won't be compatible.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Takes the hand::  XO:  Good luck.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> OPS:  Don't know yet, but you got Nita one of the best in the business she doesn't let anyone go without a fight or she will hunt you down and kill ya... ::Grins::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods at the assembled aliens and waits for them to return to the ship::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
<LtJG Rare> CTO: Well, thats the CSO back on board.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Walks to the CNS:: *Nighthawk*: Two to beam back.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Hands over the necklace::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Grumbles as the OPS temperature keeps spiking up... too dangerous a level.::  Tessie:  Get him into stasis till I figure this out.  Now..!

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Tessie>  ::Scambles to get a stasis chamber ready.::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
Nicholas: That's good to know.  ::passes out briefly again::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
<LtJG Rare> *XO*: Aye Sir.  Energising.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Walks over to the bad... concerned look on her face.::  OPS:  Aleistar....Aleistar I need you to wake up... ::Gently taps his face.::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  The two are beamed to the ship.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
Tessie: Stasis?  What?

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@<Captain Ofaj>  ::Watches as the two men vanish::  Jalazha:  I can't help but wonder if we have made a mistake.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::appears back on the ship:: XO: I'll be in sickbay if you need me. ::leaves the TR, heading for sickbay::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
OPS:  Ops I can't find what is wrong with you right now but your temperature is too high.  I'm going to put you into Stasis till I can figure it out.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CNS: Thanks.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CMO: Oh.  This sounds bad.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@Ofaj:  Perhaps, and perhaps they may actually be able to help.  Right now, I am not willing to turn away any possibility....

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Heads for the Bridge::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Heads out of Main Engineering::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@<Captain Ofaj> ::nodding::  Jalazha:  But your necklace...

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::enters sickbay as they are sticking Aleister into the stasis chamber::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
<LtJG Rare> ::Sees the XO arrive::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Smiles:: OPS:  Naaa probably not, you most likely picked up a bug from around here.  It will be just a matter of me getting access to the alien computers and doing some research.  In the stasis chamber you don't have to suffer while I do that.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::smiles::  Ofaj:  Will go down in history.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CMO: I see. you don't actually want to tell me how bad it is.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CNS: I guess i won't be bothering you for a bit. ::Tries to smile, but fails::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
OPS:  That is because I don't know how bad it is.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Aleister... listen to Anita. She only wants to make sure you come out alright on the other side of this. ::smiles::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Heads to the TL::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks onto the bridge::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CNS: Like I have a choice.  The stasis i don't mind.  Its the lack of options that bothers me.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: You're never a bother... I look forward to when you bug me again. ::smiles and pats his hand:: Now in you go, let the professionals get to work.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
OPS:  I'm going to close the lid now... Now that sleep you wanted to do... take a deep breath and dream good thoughts... I'll have you out of their in no time.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CNS: Yes..  ::gets into the stasis chamber, and waves good bye to his friends::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Report.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Sends out the orders that the ship is to be allowed passage and help wherever it goes, unasked.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Is about to enter the TL, but then remembers the XO told him to report to his office, so heads there instead::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at Anita:: CMO: That bad?

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
<LtJG Rare> ::Just runs the systems::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Nods her head a V and hands him the PADD.  Tessie and Nicholas both have sad looks on their faces... They wanted to invite Aleistar to the wedding.::

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
::Goes into stasis, nothing around him can touch him now::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Turns around as he hears a new arrival:: XO: Ah, commander. ::Get's up from the chair and steps away from it:: We have taken most of the systems offline. Sickbay is still powered, so is transporter room one... Lifesupport is running at minimum... Primary systems still powered are propulsion, navigational sensors, structural integrity...

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::Takes the PADD< his eyebrows riding up his forehead as he reads, spots Tessie and Nicholas:: CMO: Why don't we go talk about it over by the supply closet... I need to inform you about the upcoming 'away mission' I'm going on.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
XO: And as if it weren't enough, Lessing has been beamed to the informary... I'm not sure what's wrong with him, but it didn't look very good, I think.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Tessie and Nicholas>  ::Both turn beat red.::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  Incoming map and information on the coobla are sent to the NightHawk.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Arrives at the XO's office and realises that he's not there yet, so he takes a seat and starts trying to look over a Padd::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  What is up...?  Why don't we go to my office It's more comfortable here...  Besides I think Tessie and Nicholas have some unfinished business.  ::Winks at them and heads off.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over at the two doctors and starts laughing:: Tessie/ Nicholas: Did you think I'm a deadhead? Congratulations, I was waiting for the two of you to realize it.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Tessie>  CNS:  Well Romeo looks like we can't pull anything past you.  ::Grins::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Takes a report in hand and frowns, then sighs::  At least we have help with us your station did not.  ::Looks up at Ofaj, handing him the report.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> ::Winks:: CNS:  Do you want an answer to that?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Tessie: Better believe it kiddo. ::grins and walks into Anita's office:: CMO: I'm going on an intelligence gathering mission, but I won't be leaving the ship.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@<Captain Ofaj> Jalazha:  You also have the warning we do not.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Nodding, comms the NightHawk::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Becomes restless and starts fidgeting::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Picks up her coffee.::  CNS: Huh?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Taking a sip she waits for V to continue.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Very well.  Check the armory and see if we need more Torpedoes.  ::Realizes he has to meet the CSO:: Find out if the station has some then get some.  If not get the core elements and make some.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: The Coobla is a seemingly telepathic race, but they behave with a hive mindset. We offered to help Ofaj's people in getting more information about them.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Glances at his own console:: XO: Weapons systems, shields and long and short range sensors have been taken offline. Internal sensors are offline too.. Tactical teams are deployed at key areas in case we're being boarded...

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
<LtJG Rare> COMM: Station: This is the Nighthawk.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Looks at him for a few moments hard.:: CNS:  Is that so?  How do you plan to do that?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Heads for the TL:: CTO Very well keep me informed.  You have the bridge,

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Heads for his office::

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@COMM: NightHawk:  I hate to end your time here so quickly, but we have enemies approaching.  They are 2 days out.  Unless you plan to be part of the battle, I would suggest you resupply and leave soon.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods, then realises he took the torp launchers offline:: XO: Sir.... Torpedoe launchers are offline....

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
COM: Jalazha: Thank You sir.  CTO: Did you hear that Sir?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: By doing some mental observation of them. You will need to monitor me physically while another telepath does it mentally. I was hoping that Aaron would join me in the search, while one of the other telepaths kept watch on us.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Sees the CSO in the hallway:: CSO: Have you been waiting long?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks into his office:: CSO: Come in.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Looks at him another long moment.:: CNS:  ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!  WHERE DO YOU THINK I WOULD APPROVE THAT MEDICALLY!  YOU WERE A MEWING KITTEN THE LAST TIME>

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods:: Rare: Yeah, I did.... Try to take in as much as you can... But it shouldn't take any longer than 12 hours!

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Not too long........::Follows the XO into his office::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::calmly faces the tirade, certain his mother heard Anita back on Risa:: CMO: And your point is?

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@Starbase 86, go to red alert.  Commondere one of those ships for children and if room, any other civilians, woman first.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  The station goes to red alert.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Takes a deep breath:: Self: This is it.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Have a seat. ::Waves to a chair::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  My point is, when your brain is mush I'm pushing you out an airlock!  Right now medically I can't in good conscious agree to this.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
COMM: Jalazha: Agreed.  We wil resupply as fast as we can and then move out.  *XO*: Sir, I have received notice of an incoming fleet.  We are resupplying, then moving out.  our Time of departure is approximately 12 hours.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  And I still don't know what is wrong with Aaron.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Cautiously sits down::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I'll program the airlock myself for your voice commands. We owe it to these people, and if you don't monitor, I'll do it without your help.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<Starbase 86:  All go to...>

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I think he's just a bit more sensitive than we thought, but we'll be out of Ofaj's people's range. I have a feeling the Coobla are very different...

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Snarls:: CNS:  Listen Geronamo.... You are not superman...and if one brain cell fries.. I'm sicking Randi on you is that clear?  Then I'm going to tap dance on your body.. If you think for one measely moment you are doing this without me... your brain is fried already.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Is there anything you got on your chest?

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CTO: I wonder why the XO isn't responding

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: CMO: I knew you would see it my way. And I'll lie still while you and Randi tapdance all over me.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Mutters:: CNS:  And let me win a few games of poker while you're at it.  Now what is this going to entail?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CTO*: Understood, try to restock as much supplies as possible.  We leave in 2 hours.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Takes a deep breath:: XO: All the time I've been on the Nighthawk, I've seen a lot of decisions being made. Some I agreed with, some I didn't. But that didn't matter, because each time, I knew that those decisions were based on the principles of Starfleet, and I didn't question them for a moment.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: *XO*: Understood. ::Turns to OPS:: OPS: Inform the station we have to depart in two hours...

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: This one you don't agree on?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: You can tapdance, the poker is not negotiable. ::smiles:: I'll need to go into a deep trance to observe the Coobla. The station Captain is sending all the information they have about them, I'm hoping there is something in there I can use to plan what I'm going to do.

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
CTO: Aye Sir.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: We're in another universe, and we're preparing to chuck all that away just because we feel a little responsible for the destruction of a station. Part of me wants to help them. But the rest of me understands that this is a universe of it's own, not our plaything. This universe won't just disappear as soon as we leave it, it'll carry on.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Throws up her hands.::  CNS:  Oh goody the man thinks he is James T Kirk... so what you are saying is you're going to wing it?

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
COMM: Station OPS: Nighthawk to Starbase 86.  Please be informed that our departure time has moved up.  We will be leaving in two hours.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Excuse me, one second.  *CTO*: Inform the Counselor and the Doctor of our departure.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: And the impact of our actions could be rampant for centuries. We are helping one side without even listening to the other side. We are throwing the Prime Directive out the window, and by doing that, we are not acting as starfleet officers.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks:: CMO: Don't I always? Besides, I think there is a trace of Kirk blood somewhere on my father's side... if I knew who he was.

Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<Station OPS> COMM: Nighthawk:  Understood.  And your supplies will be arriving immediately.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: We are taking sides in a war we know nothing about except from a vague and biased account.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Stands up and moves around her desk and gets into his face.:: CNS:  I'm warning you mister.......

OPS_Lt_Lessing says:
COMM: Station OPS: Understood and thank you Operations.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
*XO*: Aye sir ::Taps a few buttons and composes a message to the counselor and doctor, informing them of their imminent departure::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::plants a kiss on the tip of Anita's nose:: CMO: Warning duly noted, gyspy.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Yes I understand that.  The Prime Directive does not technically apply here.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Sits in his lap.::  CNS: Listen Valentino...if anything happens to you I'm going to be very upset.  I'm not going to risk Aaron at this point.  I want him in reserve.  I've got one person in Stasis now I don't need three.  Be very clear on something.  I'm not sacrificing you to them is that understood?

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Doesn't it? We may not be court martialled for anything we do here, but the principle remains the same. Anything we do here will have as much impact as it would in our own universe. Just because this universe doesn't have a prime directive doesn't mean it doesn't need one.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::holds his friend close more for comfort than anything else:: CMO: Aye, ma'am. I agree that Aaron should rather not be involved in my attempt.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Takes a look around the scarcely lit bridge, sighing:: Self: Some situation we're in again..

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Nods:: CNS:  Ok, get your handsome butt into a bio bed so I can get some readings to go by.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::jumps up, almost dumping her on the floor:: CMO: Ok.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: The Prime Directive states we shall not disturb the natural develpment of a culture or society.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Exactly, and that's what we'd be doing, except it wouldn't just be with one society, but with many, maybe even a whole universe.
