<<<<<<<<<< Double Trouble in the Hour Before Dawn >>>>>>>>>>

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Exits the turbo lift onto the bridge and heads to her station, now occupied by Yel::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Watches the sensors closely to see if he someone is trying to sneak up on them::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Exits the shuttlebay and heads for the TL::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Takes her station and starts reading on what’s been happening while Yel takes one of the secondary science stations::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Exits the Chameleon and heads out::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Sat at flight control keeping the ship on course::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Glances up at the viewscreen and the Ferengi ship, wondering where the romulans are ... if they are indeed romulans::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Sitting in the command chair on the bridge and looks around as Gomes enters::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Heads to the TL and waits a short time before arriving on the bridge::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Uselessly accesses external sensors, seeing how all they give out is unintelligible data::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: exits the TL and onto the bridge and heads over to his station::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks as the TL opens to let the CO and FCO in then continues revising what has happened::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Checks the weapon status again. Seeing as they are coming out of range of the ECM he orders the ship to a halt::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Status.
Lt Yel says:
:: Approaches the OPS console again:: OPS: Ma'am, you know that matter you asked me and Ensign Skalar to investigate?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Stands and lets the FCO sit down:: FCO: You might wanna have the starboard maneuvering thrusters looked at Aaron. :: Smiles::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks down at the CMO:: CMO:  Hopefully you kept her scratch-free doc!
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks up slightly distracted:: Yel: Yes?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks around at the captain and gets up:: CO: No change sir.. We are still moving away from the Ferengi ship, which seems to be holding position.. the Romulan is nowhere to be seen though..
Lt Yel says:
OPS: Well... :: Whispers:: OPS: We found more
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
FCO: Of course. :: Grins::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
*XO*: We are coming out of ECM range sir, i ordered the ship to halt
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Very well. Join me in the ready room.  OPS: You have the bridge.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Lets out an audible "what?" then lowers her voice:: Yel: Gather them up and put them in stasis ... quickly, before its too late
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods and follows the CO::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks towards the CO::CO: Yes sir ::sighs::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Sir, maintain present course and speed?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Standing at the bridge at a console, overlooking certain panels and status screens.::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks into the Ready Room:: FCO: Full Stop
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Aye.  :: Brings the NH to a full stop::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Uses the sensors to get a tactical picture::
Lt Yel says:
:: Returns to the science station, worried::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Walks up to Tac1:: CTO: Getting anything?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Enters the RR as well and waits for the captain to make a move::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Gets up and heads for the center of the bridge but does not take the big chair. Then she remembers something::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks to the back:: XO: We have a dilemma
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO/CMO/EO: Ensign, Lts, I have a small matter to discuss with you. Can you join me for a moment?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Looks up from his console and panels for a moment, to take a look around the bridge.::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Looks up at the CMO:: CMO: Well, so far it seems they're staying put.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Nods:: OPS: Why certainly comrade.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Looks slightly taken aback then approaches the OPS officer::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Leaves his work and walks over to the OPS::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CO: Yes sir.. :: Waits for him to continue::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Approaches the helm:: FCO: Perhaps you can help as well
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
CTO: I don't trust them... they're up to something if they haven't started shooting at each other by now.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
OPS:  Of course Commander.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: In a low voice for some odd reason:: All: We have a small internal problem, and I would not like to distress our commanding officers with it just yet
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: We can't bring this ship into where we are going, because we will be detected.
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Smiles:: CMO: I don't trust them either. And I’m sure they're up to something, but as long as that does not conflict with our business… let them be.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
::Tries to stay focused and follow whatever English phrases are thrown at him.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Listens::  OPS:  Internal problem?  Please explain.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
All: If perhaps all departments coordinate we have a chance. See ... we have a ..small...plague aboard
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Raises an eyebrow::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CO: Alright... What kind of detection grid do they use? Just simple, or tachyon based?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
All: It is not clear where we caught it but the truth is we have a few tribbles scattered around the ship. One has already interfered with the computer core. The rest ...who knows
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Simple I presume, but our only way of going to there is the Chameleon
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
OPS: How long have you known about this?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
OPS: With all due respect Commander, why the hell was I not informed?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CMO/CTO: I only found that out now
FCO LtJG Knight says:
OPS:  Are you sure this is something you'd prefer to keep from the XO?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
All: I don't want to have the crew panic over it
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: It is something I would prefer to tell him it is under control
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CO: So a team is to head out towards the planet.. Taking the Chameleon, without any kind of reliable back-up?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
OPS: What kind of plague are we talking about?
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
OPS: What exactly are they? Where did you find them? And what were they doing?
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
::Looks in the direction of the small group around the OPS, then returns to his business::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
::Tries to follow the conversation:: OPS: Need me to repair stuff, yes?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
::looks at Ra-Kol slightly annoyed:: CTO: They are tribbles, I found one because there was a computer problem and they are living. They don't do anything, they are not sentient
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
OPS: It may be a language barrier here… but what are tribbles?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
EO: Need you to hunt stuff
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: If they need backup.  Then Punching our way through the Romulan and the Ferengi.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: I see exobiology is not your strong point. They are small furry beings, originally from the Klingon Empire. They eat and multiply .. very fast
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
OPS: What do they feed on?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CO: Yes sir, as I said, unreliable back-up.. We do not know the power of either of the vessels, so it is hard to tell how well we would get through.. In any event, if there is no alternative..
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Smiles:: OPS/CTO: Like rabbit, yes?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: Almost every form of carbon hidrate. We will be looking into plants and food left overs~
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Smiles:: EO: More or less indeed
FCO LtJG Knight says:
OPS:  Any idea how they got onboard?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: Not at this moment
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Yeah there is no real alternative unless we go around the system, and that can take days,
FCO LtJG Knight says:
OPS:  There could be hundreds of them by now.
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
OPS: I'll put the internal sensors at work if you can tell me what i'm looking for
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
OPS: More to the point... how do we get rid of them?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: Could have been anywhere we were docked. Since they are so small and when they don't eat they barely have metabolism. So they escape sensors easily
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: Okay sir.. Any specifics on the team to be formed?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CMO: Catch them and put them in stasis. they are not fast and they don't offer resistance. They are just difficult to find and so small they could be anywhere
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: Search the databases for their life signs but it won't be easy .... its like looking for a needle in a haystack
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
OPS: There is no way to track them with internal sensors? Perhaps if we make adjustments, they might show on tricorder?
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
OPS: You'd be amazed what sensors can detect...if you calibrate them right
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
EO: They do ... on short range. You can try the sensors perhaps yes
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
OPS: Will they show up on a medical tricorder?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CMO: Yes they will, and take care; they may be attracted to sickbay since some medicines have carbon hydrates
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Nods, then turns around to set the internal sensors to work::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: I am fully versed on sensors thank you Lt All: Can you handle it?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
::nods:: OPS: I'll be on the lookout,
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
CMO: Perhaps we can use old Russian tactic and lure them to it? If sensors can locate them, we could set up rooms as traps. Gustav did that before with other vermin.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
OPS:  Of course.  I just hope they don't distract us from our current mission.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Since this mission is unique.  I would suggest the CSO, CTO, and FCO join me on this mission
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
All: Then I'll tell Commander Jackson the situation is under control ...
Lt Yel says:
:: Sends the CTOs, FCO, CMO and EO all the information available on tribbles::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CO: Alright sir.. Although it is not protocol.. I think you have the better knowledge, after your forward recon mission... ::Smiles a bit, glad that for once there is a reason for him not to head out on a dangerous mission::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: He starts looking up the characteristics of tribbles and recalibrates the internal sensors to find them, putting the accuracy to maximum::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Helps his brother by boosting the power to the sensors::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Yes.  And this gives me a chance to stretch my legs a bit.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Paces the bridge in fron of the viewscreen, considering all recent events::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Smiles and nods:: CO: Yeah, it has been some time since you have taken a bigger stroll huh? :: Looks out the view port for a moment::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: After making the final adjustments he puts the internal sensors to work::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: senses the Commander's emotion::  OPS:  No need to worry Commander, we'll get it under control.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Yes it has been a while.  *CSO/FCO/CTO*: Report to the Chameleon for Departure.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
EO: Sounds like a plan... just bear in mind we have triage centers all over the ship right now.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
*CTO*: Have a full security detail with you as well.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks at the doorway, then back at the CO, waiting to be dismissed, but not asking for it::
EO Wires says:
:: Jumps as he finds a tribble under his console. Then blinks when the one becomes 2. Immediately he calls a science team to get them::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Looks up and walks to the OPS:: OPS: I adjusted the sensors and boosted the power to them. Seems we're going away for a while. Good hunting ::he nods and walks off::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: You have the ship.  Take good care of her.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks out of the Ready Room::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Watches as the CO and XO re enter the bridge and stands at attention::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
Sec: This is CTO Ar-Kol. I want a full squad ready and armed for a mission planet side in 5 minutes. They'll report in the shuttle bay
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Gets up from his station::  CMO:  Well, looks like you get to fly her again.
Sec says:
CTO: Aye sir, how is the atmosphere?
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
Sec: Breathable. No need for EVA's at this time
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: He checks on the sensors, and relays the information to the OPS and the CMO::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
FCO: Can you get a red shirt on that Aaron? I have a slight problem to deal with in sickbay right now.
SO Albers says:
*CO*: Albers to Monroe. Captain, the CSO is not available at the moment, I will take his place with your approval.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CMO:  Sure thing, not a problem Doc.  ::motions for the aFCO::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Nods and gestures for the EO to join him in the TL::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Looks over to both the CMO and CTO's as he holds up the PADD.:: CMO/CTO's: I have information of location on PADD for several, perhaps it be best we split up, yes?
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Walks to the TL. He already has most of the equipment he needs. He'll get the rest on the way to the shuttle bay::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
*SO*: Very well.  Report to the Shuttlebay for departure
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Walks over and enters the TL::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
EO: You're on your own at the moment Ensign. Coordinate with OPS. But splitting up sounds good yes ::smiles, then walks off to the TL::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Exits the ready room a few moments after the CO does, and walks over to the central chair::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Looks a little surprised and not sure what to do as the CTO leaves. He looks around the bridge slowly, until his eyes meet the OPS'.:: OPS: Err... I can go find tribbles to, yes?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
EO: Yes please
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
EO: Come on... Sickbay's waiting.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks to the TL, and pops in::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: Commander, I need to have a word with you
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Nods takes his PADD, hesitates a little as he looks over the panels, then finally leaves for the TL with the CMO:: CMO: Alright, Gustav is ready. You lead, please.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks at Gomes, slightly puzzled:: OPS: What's up, Alex?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Arrives in the shuttlebay, heads for the Chameleon and enters::
SO Albers says:
:: Arrives in the shuttlebay with his tricorder and phaser, and waits. His very first away mission::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Arrives on the right floor and heads to the Shuttlebay::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Approaches the central chair and tries not to speak very loud , again for some odd reason::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: We have a situation aboard but it’s under control and being taken care of. Somehow Tribbles got aboard
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Waits for everyone to arrive and settle in::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Exits the TL and heads for the armory. 2 rifles and some grenades should do the trick::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Walks after the CO to the Chameleon::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Steps into the TL again:: TL: Sickbay.
SO Albers says:
:: Spots the CO::CO: Ensign Albers reporting for duty sir! :: Stands at attention::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Raises his eyebrows:: OPS: Tribbles?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: You heard me. It might have been just one to get aboard. They escape sensor detection easily
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks into the Chameleon:: SO: Take a seat.  First Away Mission?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Looks around, facing the CMO a few times and before looking away again, only smiles as the CMO looks back at him.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: OPS: I take it some sort of operation is ongoing already to contain the spread?
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Waits outside the Chameleon for his brother to return::
SO Albers says:
:: Smiles:: CO: Yes sir ::enters the ship and seats::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: On his way to the armory he sees the security detail on their way to the chameleon he nods at them and enters the armory::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
EO: Something troubling you Gustav?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods:: XO: Engineering and OPS department are on it. I also asked for the help of the CMO and tactical
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
::shakes his head and smiles again.:: CMO: No.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Turns and sees someone unfamiliar:: SO:  Welcome aboard Ensign.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: If you don't mind my asking what’s the plan for the Nighthawk?
SO Albers says:
FCO: Thank you
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Steps out of the TL and strides toward sickbay::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
SO: Take a deep breath and get ready.  FCO: Power us up. . *Bridge*: This is the Chameleon requesting permission to depart.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
OPS: Captain Monroe is taking out the Chameleon again.... ::Looks sideways at OPS:: Which he wants to do now I guess... ::Smiles::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: Nodding at the crewman standing guard he takes the wanted weapons and returns to the Chameleon::
SO Albers says:
:: Nods wondering what is going to happen::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Aren't we missing a few personnel Captain?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Quickly follows the CMO out of the TL, on their way to sickbay. For some reason he feels quite familiar heading there.::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: He stands in the doorway of the chameleon, keeping it open for his brother::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Returns to her console::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
:: He hurries back to the chameleon and enters it, giving a few grenades and a rifle to his brother::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Walks into sickbay grabs a tricorder and starts scanning sickbay for tribbles::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*Chameleon*: Permission granted. But I will wait for your doors to be closed before opening the bay doors ... sounds reasonable...
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Closes the door behind his brother:: FCO: All accounted for
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Nods and powers up engines::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks around:: FCO: Looks like we are ready.  SO: Activate Chameleon Device.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Gets up from his chair and walks over to the OPS console as well:: OPS: In his absence, we are to remain at this position and wait for news.. We can, during that time, analyze our data further, perhaps we can find a break somewhere.. We will also be waiting for word from the Chameleon.. If they were to get into trouble, we will be their back-up.
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Takes a seat and checks his rifle::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Opens the shuttlebay doors as she sees no one is left on the shuttlebay deck::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: What if we get into trouble?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Enters sickbay behind the CMO and starts to look around. It takes him a little while to think of putting the PADD away, slightly bowing and lowering himself as he walks on with his hands ready to grab anything that looks... furry.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Engages engines and feels the Chameleon lift off the shuttlebay floor and brings her out from the Nighthawk::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
OPS: We will be on our own... But that is something we have already gotten used to, haven't we?

ACTION:  The chameleon swiftly and gracefully exits through the docking bay and out into the darkness of space, unseen by any watching eyes.

 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Sits back:: FCO: Full Impulse take us to the planet.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
@:: Inputs commands into his console::  CO:  Full impulse, aye sir.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: I suppose. But from what I've seen, the Ferengi mean business. I am surprised they have stopped the threats
SO Albers says:
:: Looks out the window as the Nighthawk gains distance from them::
TO Rga’el says:
:: Enters the bridge and walks to the tactical station::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Spots a tribble hiding behind a biobed:: EO: Gustav, over here.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@SO: Passive scans only.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Looks where the CMO is pointing and nods. He gestures that he will take the other way and sneaks around the biobed to grab it.::
SO Albers says:
@:: Nods and looks to his console, trying to gather data:: CO: For the moment we are still in the inhibition zone of their scrambler
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Nods then stops in his tracks. looking up slightly he sees another one above the EOs head which suddenly drops and lands on his shoulder::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@SO Ok.  FCO: ETA to planet

Scenery:  Soon the Chameleon is nothing more then a reading on the ships sensors.

TO Rga’el says:
:: Checking the sensor readings he nods. Typical... tribbles.. Let the crew deal with them, he has more important things to do::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: The Chameleon has cleared shuttlebay

ACTION:  The Romulan vessel having seen the Nighthawks bay doors open, waited for something to exit, when they closed, they tried to figure out what had happened.

CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
CO: Sir, did you have a landing site in mind?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: I'm thinking ... since the Ferengi said nothing further...could they be bluffing?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Jumps up and starts ranting around sickbay.:: CMO: Get if off me comrade, get it off!!! ::Then starts cursing in Russian.::

ACTION: On the Nighthawk comm a week signal is being picked up.

FCO LtJG Knight says:
@:: Checks his console::  CO:  Sir, ETA in......two hours.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: I am picking up a very faint com signal ...
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
OPS: They could be... ::Walks over to the tactical console:: TO: Keep a sensor lock on them for as long as you can.. If anything happens to them, I want to know immediately.. :: Looks at OPS:: OPS: On audio..
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Grabs the EO:: EO: Hold still! :: Grabs the tribble, throws it toward the quarantine bed and erects a forcefields round it::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@FCO: Very well.  Maintain course and speed.  I am going to head to the back and get some food.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: Aye :: Puts the comm on speakers, as audible as possible::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
@:: Nods::  CO:  Aye sir.
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
@:: Wonders if the CO heard his question::
TO Rga’el says:
:: Listens to the speakers::
SO Albers says:
@:: Wonders how the CO can think of food in a time like this::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Listens to the speakers::
TO Rga’el says:
 :: Grunts:: XO: Keeping sensor lock
EO Ens Nescheriakova  says:
:: Sighs:: CMO: Thanks comrade, I owe you my life. How can I ever repay you? :: Takes a look at the furry creature, then starts to blush as he realizes he was slightly exaggerated the reaction.::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
EO: Grab that one. :: Points:: and seal it in a sample container.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Listens:: XO: Its a distress call ::tries to pinpoint the origin::
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
@:: Closes his eyes for the moment. You never know when the next opportunity will be::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Walks to the Back and grabs a sandwich from the Replicator::
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
@CO: Sir, did you have a landing site in mind?
EO Ens Nescheriakova  says:
:: Starts sneaking around the biobed again and closes in on the target.:: CMO: I have this one. :: He jumps and grabs the tribble.::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: Its not in any language the computer can translate but the modulation sounds like that of a distress call
TO Rga’el says:
::Listens intently if he could recognize the signal::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Listens carefully but is unable to make sense of the message:: OPS: Coordinates?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
@:: Continues monitoring his console....constantly checking sensors and heading::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: I am trying to pinpoint the origin, but remember we have that scrambler
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: It’s... a...10 minutes away from the system at warp 9
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
EO: go round that side and catch... I'll flush it out.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: OPS: which direction?
SO Albers says:
@:: Looks at his sensors as they leave the perimeter of the scrambling field. For a moment he glances at the Ferengi ship wondering what would happen if they detected the Chameleon::
EO Ens Nescheriakova  says:
:: He lifts the creature and tries to take it keep it in his grasp.:: CMO: Comrade, container?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Grabs a jar to put the Tribble in:: EO: In here.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: Port side of our current vector
EO Ens Nescheriakova  says:
:: Quickly moves to the CMO and forces the tribble into the jar.: When he closes the lid, he claps his hands:: CMO: There, Gustav is done. Good work in team comrade.
CTO LtJG Ar-Kol says:
OPS: Is the signal coming from a planet or from a ship?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: OPS: Okay, let me put it simple.. Do we have to get past those Ferengi to get to it?
TO Rga’el says:
OPS: Sir
CTO LtJG Ra-Kol says:
:: Starts to believe the captain is losing his hearing::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
TO/XO: There is no planet where the signal is coming from. From here it looks like empty space. And no fortunately we don’t have to approach the Ferengi to get there
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: OPS: Plot a course...
TO Rga’el says:
:: Thinks he knows what the XO is thinking:: XO: Sir, might i suggest sending a shuttle there? Leaving here would mean we won't be in range if trouble meets our AT
