Summary
The crew waits out the ion storm while the captain speaks with Colonel Demar  It would appear he has come to assist the crew by taking off their hands their current problems of the youth and the data chips.  He also has a desire to learn more about the ship, but the captain deflects his questions.

The intruder alert has gone off, but none is seen.  A gap in the shielding has been discovered.  OPS is in the process of trying to find out if there is someone aboard who does not belong.  The CTO considers a drill to while away the time of the storm, but agrees they need to deal with the current situation first.

Meanwhile the CSO is ‘dealing’ with a gorgeous ensign who seems very curious in him and his work… and his spots.

Chief Tactical Officer's log, stardate 10505.21 - Commander Monroe is in conversation with our guest, whoever he may be. In the mean time, we're holding position in the Nebula, awaiting any news from the exec. The science and operations teams are still working on the chips, to try and get them replicated. I'm in charge of the bridge...  Let's see where we will head now.

<<<<<<<<<< Tribbling Times:  Part VIII >>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Sitting in the centre chair, looking around the bridge and its crew::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::exiting the turbo lift onto the bridge, cleaning the crumbs from her shoulder::
FCO_Rose says:
:: On the bridge, going over the last few checks.::  CTO:  Flight is fully functional, though it is not safe to go anywhere just yet.  One of the sensor pallets is still down.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::reaches the Operations console and makes sure all system are working within expected parameters, given the nebula::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: FCO: Very good, try and see what is taking them so long to repair it.. ::Turns to OPS:: OPS: Commander, how is the ship holding up in this Nebula, so far?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::takes the chips replicated at Monroe's orders and puts them on the side of her console, should they be needed::
FCO_Rose says:
CTO:  That one is easy.  They need to go outside the ship for that repair.  ::Smiles::  Something about not wanting to become something else.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: FCO: Of course.. What happened to our EVA suites then? ::Smiles back the Brianna::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Is still crawling through the ships tubes, he finally comes to an exit:: Self: Ok I don’t care where this leads but I’m getting out and staying here.
FCO_Rose says:
FCO:  Well... you get to talk to them on that one.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods and taps his side console to make it another action point:: Self: Lazy people..
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up at the center of the bridge:: CTO: The nebula itself is nto interfering but a few systems have suffered  short circuits. Including the sensor pallet Lt Rose mentioned and the communications array, as well as some minor systems. Repairs are underway, with the limitations of being stuck here
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Exits the tube and thankfully finds himself on deck 1:: Self: Oh thank god
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Very well.. No way to speed the process up, without leaving this nebula?
FCO_Rose says:
:: Looks at OPS and shakes her head.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::not joking:: CTO: It would seem everyone wants to turn me into an engineer, which I am not. The Engineering department said repairs are under way at the maximum possible efficiency. I am giving them the best logistic support to do that. I do not think there is anything else I can do
FCO_Rose says:
:: Smiles as she sends a request down to engineering.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Very good, very good.. I guess we'll be stuck here anyway.. What did the engineers say, by the way, about an estimated time to finish the repairs?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::taps a few buttons to check on repair times then looks back up:: CTO: 2 hours for full repairs, should we stay in this nebula and provided no other plasma storms strike us
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Tries to get out the tube but trips on his big clown feet and falls out::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods once again:: OPS: Alright... ::Turns back to the viewscreen image, trying to make something out of that::

ACTION:  A crew man coming down the hall, sees the CSO and quickly hurries over to help him up.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::runs passive scans of the ship before them, just out of curiosity::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO/FCO: This is one of those days I wouldn't mind shape shifting into a little fly and get into that meeting room
FCO_Rose says:
:: Turns around, with nothing more she can do at the moment.::  CTO:  What about the teenager?  What are you going to do with him?
FCO_Rose says:
OPS:  Why?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Thanks the crewman for helping him up:: Self: Ok that hurts, I think I broke my butt.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Curiosity. On Earth it’s said curiosity kills cats, if I were one I'd be dead long ago
Ensign_Audia says:
 CSO:  Sir... do you need assistance to sickbay?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
FCO: We will, most likely, turn him over to these fellas. I expect that's why they're after us, anyway.. ::Chuckles at Gomes' remark:: OPS: Well, good thing you're not, your expertise is priceless.. ::Smiles::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
Audia: No I’m alright
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::thinks about replaying saying how she appreciates Jackson liking her expertise in waiting but then decides against it::
Ensign_Audia says:
:: Nods::  CSO:  If you are sure sir... ummm... by the way... someone in your staff was looking for you... sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Starts getting tired of the viewscreen image:: FCO: Brianna.. See if you can change that image to ventral view?
FCO_Rose says:
CTO: I could... but with the ion storm, it is the same all over.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
Audia: Yes I’m sure but thinks any way
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Chuckles:: FCO: How about trying, so we can see for ourselves? ::Winks::
FCO_Rose says:
:: Nods and with a glance at Gomes, makes the switch.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods back to Rose::

ACTION:  The intruder alert goes off.

FCO_Rose says:
:: Looks up and over at Gary::  CTO:  I did not do it.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::listens to the claxons on the bridge and states the obvious:: CTO: We have an intruder ::checks internal sensors::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Chuckles:: FCO: Of course not... ::Gets up and walks over to the tactical console to check it:: OPS: Location?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
Self: Oh what now
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Frowns as he sees the image:: OPS: Are you getting what I am getting?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Its odd, sensors show nothing. And there were no reports of internal sensors being affected. Maybe it was a computer glitch?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::checks with engineering::
FCO_Rose says:
OPS:  Possible with the ion storm damage.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Smiles:: OPS: That answers that then.. I tend to agree with it being a glitch.. Sensors are clear..
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO/FCO: Wires' team is running diagnostics as we speak
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Good.. They need to get to the bottom of this one, it's a pretty big glitch.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO/FCO: What I find most strange is that the intruder alert depends on internal sensors to go off. If they show nothing how could the alarm be triggered?
EO_Krill says:
:: Comes upon the CSO with a smile.::  CSO:  Hello.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Shall I tone down the alarm?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods at Gomes:: OPS: Good idea.. If sensors are clear, there's no use to scare people..
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::taps a few buttons:: CTO/FCO: The first diagnostics show nothing wrong with the alarm trigger. They will continue searching though A full diagnostic of the main computer will take over an hour
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::hears someone say hi unexpectedly and gets a small fright:: Krill: Whoa scared me a little Self: If this were a cartoon my jaw would be on the deck floor right now
FCO_Rose says:
:: Sighs, as she glances at the screen, starting to get impatient with just sitting.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods:: CTO: I'll just leave the lights here on, no sound
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: They better get to it. There has to be some problem somewhere, if our sensors are clear. Let them run a diagnostic of those sensors too, if you can.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and sends the message to wires::
 EO_Krill says:
CSO:  My apologize... that was far from my intent.  Actually... :: smiles seductively.::  I was looking for you.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
EO: Oh I know it was just a little um.... unexpected. ::Starts getting a little hot:: um..... So what can I... um... do for you
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Steps back to the centre chair and sits down again:: FCO/OPS: I wonder how much longer commander Monroe will need..
EO_Krill says:
CSO:  Well... I had heard you were working on a project, and I thought I might offer my... assistance.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: I don't believe using internal sensors to listen would be within regulations?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: I believe that would be right. We might hear things we should not. Or worse, don't want to hear. ::Smiles::
FCO_Rose says:
CTO:  You think I would be shot if I suggested a drill about now?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::shrugs:: CTO: Then we wait
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO/CTO: probably ... but you would have a point. We don't get enough nebula training
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO/FCO: And for some reason we tend to end up in them
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
EO: Oh um.... on the um...... chip thing.... um i think its more or less under um... control now but um....... thanks for offering
FCO_Rose says:
OPS:  Hey, I only go were people send me.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
:: Tilts his head slightly:: FCO: Hmm.. A drill huh... ::Gets up::
EO_Krill says:
:: Slips her hand through his arm.:: CSO:  I would still be interested in seeing what you have.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Purposely doesn't reply to the FCO, knowing all too well who took them to the nebula this time::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
FCO: Not only do you go there.. You take everyone else with you... ::Looks at Gomes then Rose:: OPS/FCO: I'm getting myself some hot chocolate, anyone else want something?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Takes the time to collect samples from the nebula plasma::
FCO_Rose says:
CTO:  umm.. just don't let on I said anything?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Shouldn't we wait for the alert problem to be solved?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Starts sweating a little:: EO: Well um... everything is in the main computer so....um.....
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: Who said I was leaving this deck? I'll be back in a moment, if anyone wants something, I'll take that with me.. ::Smiles::
EO_Krill says:
CSO:  Then let's take a look at it and then... maybe dinner?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Frowns then looks up:: CTO: I don't drink on duty ... I am receiving a message from main engineering
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::taps her badge::*CEO Wires* Gomes here, go ahead
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
EO: Well um ..... I’m a little bit busy at um..... the minute um... perhaps tomorrow?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Shrugs:: OPS: Alright.. ::Looks over to Rose:: FCO: Brianna? Anything to drink?
EO_Krill says:
:: Pouts::  CSO:  I am off duty now.  Tomorrow... :: shrugs::  there is no telling where they will place me.
CEO_Wires says:
*OPS*: We found something somewhat more disturbing than the intruder alert.
FCO_Rose says:
:: Shakes her head at Gary. ::
CEO_Wires says:
*OPS*: There is an interruption in the shielding near deck one.  We are now in the process of repairing it. Estimated time to do so, 20 minutes
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO Wires*: Thank you, I'll make sure force fields are in place. Any idea how long ago this hole was made?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
EO: Well its... um a small ship im um.... sure we'll bump into each other
CEO_Wires says:
*OPS*All I can tell you is that it was not there when we entered the nebula so my best guess is that electrical storm
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Hears Wires' message and frowns:: OPS: What.. ::Thinks for a moment whether Gomes is the right person to ask, then decides she is:: What are the consequences for beaming people out? Would it be a large enough window?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO Wires* Thank you, I'll tell you if we need anything else. Gomes out ::taps a few buttons then looks up::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Yes it would, for beaming people out .. or in
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: But sensors still don't record anything at all
EO_Krill says:
:: Shakes her head sadly, reaching up a finger to glide along his face.::  CSO:  What a pity we have to do this hard way... you are rather handsome for a Trill.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: Perhaps no-one noticed the problem, until now?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: The sensors would detect anyone extra and I can quickly check if there is anyone missing
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
EO: I...um...oh...um...
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::runs a quick cross match between the life signs aboard before and after entering the nebula::
EO_Krill says:
:: Kisses his cheek, lowering her voice.::  CSO:  We could still do this the easy way...
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: Alright, get on it.. I'll be back in a moment.. ::Looks over to Brianna again:: FCO: Sure you don't want anything from the replicator?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Starts tugging at his collar as he is feeling incredibly hot at the moment:: EO: I..um...oh...um...
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Wait commander
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns around and looks at Gomes:: OPS: Yes..?
EO_Krill says:
:: Gently starts to guide him toward the nearest turbolift. :: CSO: Tell me about yourself.
FCO_Rose says:
:: Listens.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: There are two extra humanoid life signs since we entered the nebula. Ones is the officer talking to the XO. The other I can not identify
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: Location?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Taps her console quickly::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Shakes her head:: CTO: I know there's an extra life sign but I can't identify it
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Starts sweating like hell:: Self: Oh dear god could this be anymore awkward
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Tries something, looking for anyone without a Starfleet badge assigned to the Nighthawk::
EO_Krill says:
:: As they enter the turbolift, she turns toward him, and lightly traces his spots. :: CSO:  Tell me, do you have them all over?  ::Reaches over and sends the turbolift to science.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Enters the turbolift, slowly, still sweating like mad :: EO: I… umm.. What
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
OPS: I don't need to tell you to try and find him anyway, I take it? :: Smiles as he walks back to the center chair. Some things do take precedence over some hot chocolate::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Nods. :: CTO: Shall I ask a crewman to bring it?
EO_Krill says:
CSO:  Spots... how far do the... go?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
:: Shakes head, guessing Gomes meant the drink:: OPS: That's okay..
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Continues conducting the search, excluding anyone who might be in their quarters or absolutely off duty, asking other officers about it::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
EO:  most of the um....... way down
EO_Krill says:
:: The turbolift doors opening, she leans up for a brush of a kiss. :: CSO:  Really... how intriguing.  I look forward to such a... discovery.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
EO: I’m uh... sure you will. :: Is so hot he is surprised he hasn’t melted the deck plating and fell through yet::
EO_Krill says:
:: Whispers into his ear. :: CSO:  Afterwards...  ::Guides him out of the lift and to the lab.::

<<<<<Addendum 1 Demar & CO>>>>>

 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
:: Presses the door chime::
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Hands clasped behind his back as he stands to look at the door.::  XO:  Enter
 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
:: Walks in::
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Gives his grandfatherly smile and extends a hand. :: XO:  Commander Monroe, it is very nice to finally meet with you.
 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
: :Extends his hand and shakes his hand:: Demar: Likewise.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Motions toward the table. :: XO:  Please... join me.
 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks towards the table and sits down:: Demar: So what brings you here?
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: As he passes the table he picks up a padd :: XO:  A couple of things actually.  But to set the tone of things, let’s take care of the good first. Here... :: hands Monroe the padd as he takes his seat.::
 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Takes the padd and reads it, then looks back at him, confused::
 Colonel_Demar says:
XO:  Captain Anderson has been reassigned to a special task force.  Apparently, Admiral Harlan had it in mind for when this occurred, to promote you.  Unfortunately, she is still absent, but her files are complete.  Congratulations... Captain Monroe.  :: Smiles ::
 Colonel_Demar says:
Ohhh... :: Reaches into a pocket and pulls out a box.::  XO:  I almost forgot this.
 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Smiles:: Demar: How is Captain Anderson?  I haven't spoken to him a while.  I wished he was here to witness this.  He would be proud.
 Colonel_Demar says:
XO:  Yes he would be.  As for where... well, his first assignment is to find our missing Admiral.
 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Takes the box:: Demar: Thank you.  I am speechless.
 Colonel_Demar says:
CO:  Not at all... my pleasure.  :: Leans back, crossing his left leg over his right knee.::  I understand you have had a run in with Da'Core.
 XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Demar: Yes.  We sort of have something of his.  Some chips, computer chips that hold vital information for a weapon.
 Colonel_Demar says:
CO:  Ahhh yes... and I have come to take them off of your hand as I have removed the ships that were tagging you.
 Colonel_Demar says:
CO:  Before I forget, the orders for your new executive officer are with your orders too.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar:  And what will happen with the chips?  My new Executive Officer?  ::Looks around::
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Motions to the padd for the orders.::  CO:  I will take them off your hands with much thanks that you were able to obtain them.  I am actually looking forward to discovering how you managed that.  We have been... looking into obtaining them.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks at the padd:: Demar: I see... well it was actually an accident.  We were investigating the recent attacks on ships when we ran into a youth that had the chips.
 Colonel_Demar says:
CO:  A youth you say?  And would you still have this youth?  I would be glad to take him off your hand and take him home.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar: Definitely, I still the youth, he currently in sickbay sedated.  We interrogated him.  And we got the name Da'Core from him.
 Colonel_Demar says:
CO:  Good good... then I will take this problem off your hands and you can go back to following your orders.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar: Alright, I will make the arrangements to have him transported to your vessel.  And the chips?  You want all the data as well?
 Colonel_Demar says:
::Smiles::  CO:  Yes... of course.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar: I will make the arrangements to have the data collected.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Stands::  CO:  Can I get you something to drink?
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar: Yes, please an Orange Juice.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Gets the orders from the replicator and returns with them.::  CO:  As soon as this storm is over, I will head out and leave you to your business.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Takes the juice:: Demar: Thank you.  Alright. How do you know Admiral Harlan?
 Colonel_Demar says:
CO:  You might say we have... served together indirectly over many years.  Her absence is sorely felt.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar: Yes, she was a great influence on myself and this crew.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Something flashes through his eyes and he leans forward.::  CO:  So I have heard... I believe she introduced new technology?
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Raises an Eyebrow:: Demar: New Technology?
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Leans back nonchalantly::  CO:  Yes... :: waves his hand vaguely.::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Knows he is talking about the Chameleon:: Demar: Like on this ship?
 Colonel_Demar says:
CO:  Yes... of course this ship.  You were more her... flag ship in many ways.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: A brief flash of annoyance passes his eyes.::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar: Yes we are her flag ship, a proud little ship.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Noting he was not cooperating in this, cuts his loss.::  CO:  Well... how much longer before the storm ends?
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Smiles inside:: Demar: My Science Officer tells me it might be a while.  Would you like a tour of the ship?
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Chuckles heartily.::  CO:  That is the best offer I have had all week.  ::Stands.::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Stands:: Demar: This way. ::Waves his hand out the door::
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: As he follows the captain, pauses very briefly at the desk, then continues.::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Pauses and heads out. Shows Demar Main Engineering, Sickbay, and the Bridge, avoiding the shuttlebay holding the Chameleon::
 Colonel_Demar says:
ACTION:  The captain gets a call that the storm is passing.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Acknowledges the call:: Demar: It seems the storm has passed.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Finding it a bit hard to keep the grandfatherly act up, agrees it is time to go... for now.::  CO:  Very good captain.  :: Reaches out a hand.::  I thank you again for your help, though unintentional and wish you well of your new command.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Demar: I thank you, sir.  I wish you good travels.
 Colonel_Demar says:
:: Nods and finds himself being escorted to the transporter room.::

CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Watches his guest be escorted to the transporter room, then looks around the bridge:: CTO: Will you join me in the ready room?
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: Of course, sir... ::Looks at the commander's collar and sees he is actually no longer a commander:: And I see congratulations are in order?
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CTO: Um, yes.  Thank you.  ::Walks into the ready room::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Follows Monroe in, not saying a word, waiting for him to speak instead::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Takes a seat:: CTO: Take a seat, Commander.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Sits down across the desk from Monroe::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CTO: Now with your dedicated service on this ship I have... witness you peak at the post you are at.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods, not sure what the CO is really wanting to say::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CTO: Now it is time to move on to more greener pastures.  I am pleased to promote you to Executive Officer.  ::Slides him a padd with the orders::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::takes the padd, slowly, and reads the first line::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
 XO: I am also pleased to promote you to Commander, with all the rights and privledges that come with it.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CTO: Congratulations Commander.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: Thank you sir...
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Now my... your office needs to be tidied up... Well not really it has a lot of paperwork which I am supposed to deal with..... But it seems that you have inherited it.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: Alright captain.. Thank you.. ::Stands up and nods at Monroe::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Hands the XO a box::
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Takes the box and nods again:: CO: Thank you sir.. ::Opens the box and takes out the golden pip, then attaches it to his collar:: I just seem to be miss-matching colors right now..
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Have a seat, now we both inherited this position from Captain Anderson, whom has formed a taskforce to find Admiral Harlan.
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Sits down again and listens::
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Admiral Harlan has been missing for a while.  But she has the best person looking for her.
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Tilts his head a bit, still listening::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: So if he calls needing a hand we will assist.
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
CO: Alright, captain.
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Any concerns?
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
CO: No sir. The crew is ready, everyone is going strong. We should have no problem taking on whichever task they decided to throw at us.
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Make arrangements to transport the youth and the data chips to the Colonel's Ship.
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: I'll get right on that.. Do you have anything else?
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: We have to solve that mystery on the destruction of the ships.  Check out on what other data we have on this region.
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: Alright, sir.. ::Starts to get up:: With your permission..
 CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Go ahead, and one more thing.  ::Pauses:: Congratulations Number one.
 XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
