Host EvilAGM says:
Last time on ST: ACTD: USS Orion.    Boom.  The secondary hull expired.  Rolled up the curtain and gone to visit the choir invisible......

Host EvilAGM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Orion Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS_Korlak says:
::on the bridge, wondering what ship he's going to end up serving on after this, if he serves on anything at all::

CTO_Farris says:
::Under his console trying to make repairs to it::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACITON: the saucer section is being towed back to SB.  The CO has retired to her quarters in seclusion.

SO_Melek says:
::stood at his console on the bridge::

CSO_Lance says:
::on the bridge::

CNS_Jordain says:
::enters the bridge while putting on his uniform jacket, nods at everyone there::

CSO_Lance says:
*XO* Orders, sir?

CTO_Farris says:
::Picks up the redeflibulator thingy and uses it on a broken widget::

CSO_Lance says:
::nods at the CNS::

XO_McRae says:
*CSO*: Just make sure the ship keeps working.  I'm down in engineering trying to get a handle on everything.

CSO_Lance says:
*XO* Understood...

OPS_Korlak says:
::sending repair crews out to fix whatever's fixable and try to jury-rig enough systems to keep us running as something that kind of resembles a starship::

CTO_Farris says:
::Stands up after making repairs and checks the console for the ETA::

CNS_Jordain says:
CSO: Anything in particular you want me to do right now? ::tries to smile a bit::

CSO_Lance says:
CNS: Be my guest, there is not much to do. Catch up on reports maybe?

XO_McRae says:
::starts working on power situation on the ship::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The communications consoles blinky lights [tm] begin to blink indicating an incoming text message

SO_Melek says:
::continues to monitor the status of what little they have of their ship::

CNS_Jordain says:
::sighs:: CSO: Indeed, not much else to do..

CTO_Farris says:
::Wonders if this is really all just some sort of big holodeck program::

CSO_Lance says:
::starts working on her report, staying clear of the Big Chair [tm]::

CSO_Lance says:
::has to suppress a sigh herself and smiles briefly at the CNS::

XO_McRae says:
*CSO*: Find someone to give me a hand down here.

CSO_Lance says:
*XO* Aye, sir.

CSO_Lance says:
CTO: Report to the XO, please.

OPS_Korlak says:
::notices the light::

CNS_Jordain says:
::moves over to his seat and starts fiddling with PADDs::

CTO_Farris says:
CSO: Ok.

OPS_Korlak says:
CSO: Incoming communication, do you want to take it?

XO_McRae says:
::realizes that the only way to keep power on the decks that have it is to leave power shut down on all uninhabited decks.::

CTO_Farris says:
Computer: Where's the XO?

Host EvilAGM says:
<Computer> The XO is on deck 11

CSO_Lance says:
OPS: I guess I have to... ::looks around:: Put it through, please.

XO_McRae says:
*CSO*: Never mind.  There's nothing I can do down here.  We don't have the power.  I'm coming back to the bridge.

OPS_Korlak says:
::puts the comm onscreen::

XO_McRae says:
::walks to the TL::

CTO_Farris says:
::Walks to a TL:: TL: Deck 11.

CSO_Lance says:
*XO* Understood.

CSO_Lance says:
CTO: Belay that order.

CTO_Farris says:
::Didn't hear that since he's already in the TL::

XO_McRae says:
::enters other TL:: TL: Bridge.

CSO_Lance says:
*CTO* Belay that order. XO McRae is on his way to the Bridge now.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The TL with the CTO in it doesn't move and the doors stick half closed

CTO_Farris says:
*CSO* Ok.

Host EvilAGM says:
<Computer in the XO's TL>  XO: The main TL route to the bridge is blocked

CTO_Farris says:
::Looks at the doors:: Self: This isn't good...

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: text transmission is a question from the towing ship wanting to know if the saucer section wants to dock under it's own power

OPS_Korlak says:
::surprised if we have enough power *to* dock::

XO_McRae says:
::thinks:: Son of a...  ::exits the TL and heads for the Jeffries tube::

CSO_Lance says:
*XO* Sir, do you think the Orion is capable of docking herself? You know more about the shape she is in than I do right now.

CTO_Farris says:
::Squeezes between the doors:: Self: Thank God I'm not fat...

CTO_Farris says:
CSO: Ok. I'm back.

CSO_Lance says:
*XO* Sir?

CSO_Lance says:
CTO: I can see that...

CMO_T`Lar says:
::arrives in the Sickbay from... elsewhere::

CTO_Farris says:
::Moves over to his chair in the dark corner and drags it to his console::

XO_McRae says:
*CSO*: Sorry, climbing through the ship.  We do, but barely.  We'll have to conserve every ounce of power we can.  Unless they can get us some power somehow.

CMO_T`Lar says:
::looks around and takes in the picture::

CSO_Lance says:
*XO* Then I tell them no. Lance out.

CSO_Lance says:
OPS: Can you send them a text transmission that we rather not dock on our own to preserve power.

XO_McRae says:
::reaches bridge and climbs out of tube::

OPS_Korlak says:
::nods to the CSO:: 

CNS_Jordain says:
::looks over at the XO and remembers his awful climb::

CSO_Lance says:
XO: Welcome back, sir. She is all yours.

XO_McRae says:
::stretches::

OPS_Korlak says:
::sending reply::

XO_McRae says:
CSO: Thanks.  ::walks to Big Chair [tm]

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: a reply comes back with an offer of portable power units that will supply enough power::

CNS_Jordain says:
::looks up:: XO: Quite a mess down there I suppose?

OPS_Korlak says:
XO: Sir, they're offering us power units to give us enough power to dock, do we want to accept their...err.. offer?

XO_McRae says:
CNS: That it is.

CMO_T`Lar says:
::gets to work::

XO_McRae says:
OPS: Sure, I'd much rather land her myself than have them tow me in.

CSO_Lance says:
::gets back to her normal duties.

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: Too bad... she was a beauty.

CTO_Farris says:
::Sits in his chair and wonders if he can get some sort of cartoons on his console::

OPS_Korlak says:
::Sends reply to the affirmative::

XO_McRae says:
::starts to read the reports coming in from everywhere else::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: Transporter rooms 1-4 on deck 5 report incoming power units.

OPS_Korlak says:
::Sends some people to go hook the power up::

XO_McRae says:
CTO: Go get those power units set up.

CMO_T`Lar says:
::wonders when she'll get some decent power in sickbay::

CTO_Farris says:
XO: Ok. ::Walks to a tube and starts climbing::

SO_Melek says:
::notices power fluctuations::

CSO_Lance says:
::working on the sensor grids::

XO_McRae says:
::wonders what the ETA is, but isn't motivated enough to go actually find out::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: time passes....and as the power units are hooked up in various sections....three in the sickbay...power is restored in the parts of the ship that need it

CNS_Jordain says:
::puts his pile of PADDs down on the floor next to his half-wrecked chair and stares at the viewscreen::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::thanks the resident deity for the power::

SO_Melek says:
::monitoring the status of the newly-installed power units::

CTO_Farris says:
Self: That went faster than I thought it would

CTO_Farris says:
::Goes back to the tubes and climbs back in a tube and starts climbing back to the bridge::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::starts doing needlework::

XO_McRae says:
::notes the return of power and makes sure that he will have enough to dock::

XO_McRae says:
CSO: What's our ETA?

CNS_Jordain says:
::drums fingers on the chair::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::stitching the Orion logo within a pink heart on a hankie::

CTO_Farris says:
::Eventually gets back to the bridge and goes back to his console::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::adds Vulcan ears to the logo::

CTO_Farris says:
::Decides to see if this is really a holodeck thing:: Computer: End program.

CNS_Jordain says:
::looks up at Farris, remembering this once worked...::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::decorates the hankie with little blue and black roses::

OPS_Korlak says:
::realizes he's been on duty for 20 hours solid, and starts nodding off at his console::

CTO_Farris says:
::Guesses he was wrong::

CTO_Farris says:
All: It was worth a shot.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: Korlak falls asleep and his head lolls forward and hits the console

CSO_Lance says:
XO: Sorry, sir, I was distracted...

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: Red alert alarms go off.......

CMO_T`Lar says:
::sends the hankie up to the bridge as a personal present for the CSO::

XO_McRae says:
::watches Korlak fall and starts laughing::

CTO_Farris says:
::Looks around, wondering what happened::

OPS_Korlak says:
::wakes with a start, wondering what's going on::

SO_Melek says:
::looks up inquisitively at red alert::

CTO_Farris says:
All: Who hit the red alert button?

CSO_Lance says:
::checks the alert::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::looks up:: What the devil is broken THIS time?

XO_McRae says:
CSO: Fine.

OPS_Korlak says:
::goes purple::

CTO_Farris says:
::Checks tactical sensors::

XO_McRae says:
::looks for the cause of the alert::

CMO_T`Lar says:
*XO* What's going on now?

OPS_Korlak says:
::getting more purple by the second, trying to surreptitiously hit the off switch::

CNS_Jordain says:
::arches brows:: All: I didn't do anything this time...

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The alert is traced to Korlak's console

OPS_Korlak says:
::Gets a big lump in his throat::

CTO_Farris says:
::Turns back to green alert::

XO_McRae says:
::looks over at Korlak::

CSO_Lance says:
::looks pointedly at Korlak and mumbles something about Klingons aboard starships::

XO_McRae says:
::laughing:: *CMO*:  Nothing, nothing at all.

SO_Melek says:
::finds where the alert is coming from::  XO: Looks like it was an accident on your Ops officer's part, sir.

CNS_Jordain says:
::shakes head::

CMO_T`Lar says:
*XO* If you say so. 

OPS_Korlak says:
XO: I'm..er...attempting to trace the bug in the console now, sir..

CSO_Lance says:
OPS: What's a teh bug?

XO_McRae says:
OPS: Go get some sleep.  That's an order.

CSO_Lance says:
OPS: Something Klingon?

CTO_Farris says:
::Sits in his chair and picks his nose::

OPS_Korlak says:
XO: Sir.. I... err.. that is... yes, sir.

OPS_Korlak says:
::gets up and gives his seat over to Ensign Ynos::

XO_McRae says:
ALL: Anyone else who has been on duty for more than 12 hours needs to get some sleep.  By my calculations, that's all of you.

CSO_Lance says:
XO: Yes, sir, including yourself

CMO_T`Lar says:
*XO* Gladly. Just who is going to take care of the sickbay while I sleep?

XO_McRae says:
CSO:  True, but I can't leave until relieved of command by the CO.

XO_McRae says:
*CMO*: I think the EMH can handle it.

CMO_T`Lar says:
*XO* Surely you can't be serious.

CTO_Farris says:
XO: I'm fine. One time I stayed up for 48 hours straight studying for exams. 12 hours isn't a big deal.

CSO_Lance says:
*CMO* Does your power include sending the XO off duty?

OPS_Korlak says:
<Ynos> ::reconfigures the aliases on the OPS terminal::

CMO_T`Lar says:
*CSO* oh, certainly. 

CSO_Lance says:
CTO: You heard the XO.

CSO_Lance says:
*CMO* Well, make it so if you please.

CMO_T`Lar says:
*CSO* Let me get my tricorder, I'll be right there.,

XO_McRae says:
CTO: I don't care.  Go away.  All: I can't make you sleep, but go off duty for at least 4 hours.  I'll call if there's an emergency.

CMO_T`Lar says:
*XO* Ready or not, here I come.

CSO_Lance says:
*CMO* Understood. Lance out.

XO_McRae says:
*CMO*: No.

CMO_T`Lar says:
::takes Important Stuff [tm] and goes up to the bridge::

CNS_Jordain says:
::thoughts dwell back to a 63hour wartime shift..::

CMO_T`Lar says:
*XO* Says you. 

XO_McRae says:
Security officer Guy: Stop the CMO and confine her to quarters.  She's having delusions.

XO_McRae says:
<SEC Guy> XO: Understood sir.

CSO_Lance says:
XO: Without wanting to be disrespectful but you are overstepping your boundaries.

CMO_T`Lar says:
*Security officer Guy* Belay that. The XO can't tell, he is no doctor.

XO_McRae says:
<SEC Guy>: ::ignores the CMO and heads to Sickbay::

OPS_Korlak says:
<Ynos> ::wonders how long until the entire crew relieves each other of duty::

CTO_Farris says:
::Turns tactical over to TO Smitty and climbs down to deck 7 to see if the lounge is still open::

CMO_T`Lar says:
:: arrives on the deck closest to the bridge::

CSO_Lance says:
*SEC Guy* This is the CSO, belay that order from the XO. He is not fit for duty,

XO_McRae says:
<SEC Guy>::gets the CMO and carries her to quarters::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::hypo's the SEC guy out, watches him fold up out cold::

XO_McRae says:
<SEC Guy>::blocks all outside access to the CMO's quarters and stands guard::

SO_Melek says:
::watches the proceedings, somewhat bemused::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::climbs up the tube to the bridge::

CTO_Farris says:
::Gets a report from security about what's going on and orders them to stop doing that::

XO_McRae says:
CSO: You're relieved as well.  There's no one to take over right now, so I'm staying.

CSO_Lance says:
*CMO* Are you alright?

XO_McRae says:
::sets force field around himself::

CTO_Farris says:
::Climbs back to the bridge::

CTO_Farris says:
::Goes to his console and turns off the force field::

CMO_T`Lar says:
*CSO* Oh, yes. ::emerges from the tube:: CSO: I think the ladder got steeper since the last time I climbed it.

XO_McRae says:
<SEC Guy>::awakes with a full head of steam:: *XO*: I was disabled by the CMO.

XO_McRae says:
::sets force field around himself::

XO_McRae says:
::blocks controls to forcefield::

CSO_Lance says:
::considers to draw her phaser::

XO_McRae says:
::locks all consoles but his own::

OPS_Korlak says:
::cuts force field power at the source, as we need it for life support::

SO_Melek says:
XO: Commander?

CTO_Farris says:
XO: You're not the CTO anymore. Let me do my job.

CMO_T`Lar says:
::snaps her tricorder open:: XO: Your behavior is irrational and shows delusions and results of extreme stress.

CSO_Lance says:
XO: Sir, it's no use. We have very capable officers on Beta Shift.

CTO_Farris says:
*All security teams* Don't follow the XO's orders. He's being a baby.

CNS_Jordain says:
::wakes up in his chair and almost falls out of it as he sees what's going on::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::running scans of the XO:: XO: You adrenaline levels are over the roof, and your body is about to shut down. You are endangering the symbiont.

SO_Melek says:
::sighs to himself::  Self: Humans.....

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: Sure you don't want to get off duty and get a drink? ::still not quite awoken::

XO_McRae says:
CMO: Actually, I'm not.  The symbiont is keeping me going.

CSO_Lance says:
CNS: How nice of you to wake up. Maybe you should go to your quarters. I am sure the rest of us will follow soon.

CSO_Lance says:
::orders Beta Shift to the bridge::

XO_McRae says:
::runs medical scans on himself and notes that the CMO's are incorrect.  puts that in ship's log::

CMO_T`Lar says:
Computer: Record the XO being relieved off duty till further notice. Restrict access to command codes. Authorization T'Lar Alpha 346 Epsilon

CNS_Jordain says:
CSO: Right, I'm sorry... but.. what's with him? ::points at the XO::

CTO_Farris says:
::Pulls out his phaser that he has fastened under the console and sets it to max setting:: XO: Lower the forcefield.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the computer does so and the XO no longer has computer access...PERIOD

CSO_Lance says:
XO: If you are not cooperating, sir, I have Security confined you to your quarters. Or should I make it the brig, SIR?

CMO_T`Lar says:
CTO: Stop that, you are behaving like a child.

CSO_Lance says:
CTO: Get a team up here, ASAP.

OPS_Korlak says:
::asleep in his quarters::

CMO_T`Lar says:
All: Stop that nonsense. How old are we here?

CNS_Jordain says:
::takes a few steps back and scratches his head::

CTO_Farris says:
CSO: Ok. *Security teams 1-5* Come to the bridge immediately.

CMO_T`Lar says:
XO: Go and get some sleep. You need it.

CSO_Lance says:
CMO: Don't tell me.. ::points at XO:: .. tell him.

OPS_Korlak says:
::would probably be glad not to be anywhere near the bridge right now if he knew what was going on, which he doesn't because he's asleep::

CNS_Jordain says:
::decides not to answer the CMO...::

CMO_T`Lar says:
CSO: As do you. You look a bit pale around the nose. We all need rest.

CSO_Lance says:
CMO: I won't leave until the XO leaves.

OPS_Korlak says:
<Ynos> ::wishes Korlak were at OPS, and not him::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::grins at the CNS::

XO_McRae says:
::looks at the crew.  wonders if they realize he's been up for 72 hours and counting::

CSO_Lance says:
::does realize that perfectly well::

CNS_Jordain says:
::is grinned at::

CMO_T`Lar says:
XO: I really don't want to have security escort you out. Come on, go get some rest. All: That works for all of us. Beta shift was qualified to work here, last time I checked.

XO_McRae says:
::turns and sits in chair.::

CSO_Lance says:
::waiting and watching as Beta Shift arrives::

CMO_T`Lar says:
XO: Get out of here. ::smiles faintly::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: Beta shift arrives on the bridge via the JTs

CSO_Lance says:
::disables XO's command codes::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::was fairly sure the XO was older than her five-year-old nephew::

CNS_Jordain says:
::nods at the CMO and at all the rest, then proceeds towards his quarters::

XO_McRae says:
::returns Big Chair[tm] settings to standard and prepares to hand over the bridge::

CSO_Lance says:
::has a strong desire to tap her foot::

SO_Melek says:
::hands over his console to his replacement, and heads into the turbolift::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::takes out a hypo:: CTO: I'm about to give the Commander an injection. If he resists, stun him.

OPS_Korlak says:
<Ynos> ::realizes he hasn't breathed in the last four minutes, and exhales::

CTO_Farris says:
CMO: Ok.

XO_McRae says:
::sees beta shift is here.::

CTO_Farris says:
::Sets the phaser to stun::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::sets the hypo and moves to the XO::

XO_McRae says:
Beta Shift Lead guy: It's all yours.  I'll be elsewhere.

CMO_T`Lar says:
::injects the XO with a sedative::

XO_McRae says:
CMO: If you touch me with that, I'll break you before Farris shoots me.

CMO_T`Lar says:
XO: I'm sorry. 

CTO_Farris says:
XO: That doesn't mean I won't shoot you.

CTO_Farris says:
XO: And then put you in the brig for assault.

XO_McRae says:
CTO: It would be self defense.

CMO_T`Lar says:
CTO/XO Stop that!

OPS_Korlak says:
::makes arrangements for a spare room on deck 12 to be converted into a makeshift brig::

CMO_T`Lar says:
::waits for the sedative to start working::

CNS_Jordain says:
::proceeds to deck ten::

XO_McRae says:
CTO, CMO: Doesn't matter though, Lt Whatsisname is in charge now anyway.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the sedative kicks in

Host EvilAGM says:
