Brendae says:
::Doesn't like his tone.  Looks at the biobed, not used to these readouts::

CNS_Luchena says:
::follows Zax::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: Starts pushing buttons rapidly::

XO_Zax says:
::pushes the chime::

CNS_Luchena says:

Door: Enter.

Brendae says:
::Loudly:: CMO: We've got a flatline.

CEO_Jamin says:
::makes himself look away, turning back to the console with a sharp exhale::

FCO_Tim says:
XO: Ma'am ETA in 1 hour. ::Return to his work at the Conn.::

Brendae says:
::Looks around the strange sickbay for the right medicine::

Jiln says:
#::sends a message out to every contact he has in the quadrant, warning that a new threat has 
arrived, and that they are allied with the enemy::

XO_Zax says:
::walks into the room:: CO: Sir? You wanted to see us?

::stands from behind his desk and moves out into the common area, moving toward the bed where Krisz lay::

CNS_Luchena says:

MO_Daetalus says:
:: Starts checking fluctuations in the scans::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks up and motions to the chairs::  XO/CNS: Yes.  Please sit.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits::

FCO_Tim says:
*XO* Ma'am, ETA in one hour. ::Returns to his work at the conn.::

XO_Zax says:
::takes a seat and looks at the captain expectantly::

CMO_Varr says:
Brendae:  I've got it.  ::picks up a hypo, keying the right stimulant nearly automatically, and applying it on her beck::

CEO_Jamin says:
::references a third term, getting a bit agitated::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: picks up and administers 10 cc's of Borathium::

Brendae says:
::Steps out of the way::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::intercepts the message, but cannot decipher it::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::yet::

Jiln says:
#<Garen-FCO>::signals the fleet to follow and sets a course for home at maximum speed::

CNS_Luchena says:
::senses agitation::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::begins to work on decoding the message::

CMO_Varr says:
::eyes the MO::  MO: Are you caring for this then?

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Hello Lt. I though I'd say since we'll be working quiet a bit together. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO/CNS: This is about our Chief Engineer, Mr. Jamin.  Counselor?  I note you made a mention in your log about him and I quote, "I am not sure he can be relied upon until his inner conflict is resolved"?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The biorhythms of Krizs remain flatlined.

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir :: Continues checking the readings::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: Begins CPR::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::looks up at the FCO::  FCO: Greetings.  Pleased to make your acquaintance.

XO_Zax says:
::waits for the Counselor to answer::

MO_Daetalus says:
::or their alien substitute::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, this is difficult to explain, but I have doubts about his ability to carry out his duties at this time.

Brendae says:
::Heads over to her biobed again, listening to the CMO and is getting rather upset. Combination of the surgery, tiredness, stiffness and just moodiness::

CEO_Jamin says:
::gratefully sees a term he DOES remember, finally finishing his report for the XO::

CMO_Varr says:
::eyes the MO some more, putting a hand out, as another MO drops a cortical stimulator into his hand::  MO: Here... try this.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  XO: Your thoughts about the recent actions of Mr. Jamin Commander?

CMO_Varr says:
::offers the CS to Daetalus::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
Computer: Run decoder sequence Vortak Q-5 on the transmission.  <Computer>  Working.

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: I'm not sure if we've been formally introduces. ::Taps his console:: My name is Lt. Timothy 
Stricker, the FCO. Everyone just calls me Tim, but Tim, Timothy, Lieutenant or Mr. Stricker is OK with me. ::smiles::

XO_Zax says:
::sighs:: CO: I was very troubled by Mr. Jamin being in the holodeck during an alert, Sir.

Host Karriaunna says:
<Computer>: Insufficient data...

CEO_Jamin says:
::transmits the report to Zax's console, not completely happy with it, but realizing he's not likely to do better::

Brendae says:
::Pulls herself onto the biobed watching the action around Krisz::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  He really is not himself these days.

MO_Daetalus says:
::administers the stimulator, with no avail::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO/CNS: ...and your thoughts on the best way to proceed?

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO:  OK, Lieutenant.  You may call me Lieutenant Vortak.  ::holds her hand up in the traditional Vulcan greeting::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  I think he should be relieved of duty until he can be thoroughly evaluated.

XO_Zax says:
::continues:: CO: I'm sorry to say, Sir.......but I don't think he can remain in charge of Engineering.

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir, I need another artificial womb quickly please

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: You don't believe there is any way he can be trusted to do his duty?

CEO_Jamin says:
::rubs his eyes, trying to will the stress away::

XO_Zax says:
::looks at the CNS expectantly::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Under supervision, perhaps.  Not as Chief, though.

CMO_Varr says:
::looks to the MO standing to his side and she moves away with a nod, preparing another chamber::

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: It's a pleasure to be working with you. Our old XO was a Vulcan. Very logic and intelligent being. I learned allot about Vulcan behavior from him, this is why I look forward to working with you. ::smiles and tap his console::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  XO: And I noted you already agree to this conclusion Commander?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The lower functions of Kritzs brain start up, but the higher ones are missing.

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO: I, however, am not fully Vulcan.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders who is going to tell Jamin and hopes it not her::

CMO_Varr says:
::reaches over and pulls the surgery table that he had used with Brendae over to this bed and prepares the tools for use::

XO_Zax says:
::nods reluctantly:: CO: I'm afraid so, Sir........hopefully it will only be a temporary measure.......

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO/CNS: Well let us get Mr. Jamin in here, and hear his side shall we?

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Really? What's you other half? If you don't mind me asking of course, Lieutenant?

XO_Zax says:
::nods and looks unhappy::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stiffens at the suggestion.  CO:  Of course, Sir.

CEO_Jamin says:
::wishes the large knife in his head would go away::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: notes the functions start but continues with an incision and removes the child and transfers it to the artificial womb::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::notices the computer has finished this layer and begins the next layer of security decoding::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::taps his badge::  *CEO*: Mr. Jamin, will you please come to my Ready Room.

CMO_Varr says:
::provides the needed assistance to his MO in performing the operation, knowing that only one will be saved here::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO: ::furrows her brow::  I would not have mentioned it, if it bothered me.  That would not be logical.  I am also half Betazoid.

CEO_Jamin says:
::picks up his head and frowns:: *CO*: Yes sir. ::stands and paces toward the door, pressing the chime::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Door: Enter.

Host Korvith_Vessels says:
@ ::Follow along the Pendragon, wondering why they are moving so slow::

Brendae says:
::Sits on the edge of her biobed watching the CMO and MO working on Krisz....watches quietly.....hoping and praying::

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Please take care :: turns the womb on and to its proper settings::

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Yes, that is true. Be bothered is an emotion. Can I ask you something?

CMO_Varr says:
::eyes the MO::  MO: Of course.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: begins working on keeping the neurons active::

CEO_Jamin says:
::takes a breath and enters, deliberately staring straight ahead, and comes to rest standing at attention::

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath trying to remain calm::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO:  If you wish.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The infant is not breathing.

XO_Zax says:
::looks at Andris compassionately::

CNS_Luchena says:
::avoids looking at Jamin::

CEO_Jamin says:
::already feels his pulse rising uncontrollably::

CNS_Luchena says:
::concentrates on reducing her pulse rate::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Please have a seat Mr. Jamin.

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: I do Karate and martial arts for exercise everyday in the Gym. I know that Vulcans also do meditation. If you do meditate, could you teach me how as well. That's of course if you do?

Brendae says:
::trying to take her mind off Krisz walks over to the artificial womb her child is in::

CEO_Jamin says:
::looks intently at Phail for a moment, then stiffens up and seems to stand unusually tall:: CO: I 
prefer to stand sir, if I may.

CMO_Varr says:
::sees the lack of respiration on the child and begins administering a solution to lighten the air being feed to it::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Let's get down to it shall we?  I think you have already guessed this is about your actions in the Holodeck while we were on alert.

CEO_Jamin says:
::staring straight ahead, at the wall, vision tunneling:: CO: Yes sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::chances a quick glance at Jamin, then wishes she hadn't::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::clears throat::  FCO:  Yes, I do mediation; however, you might be better off being taught by an expert.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: works diligently but to no avail::

CNS_Luchena says:
::blushing furiously::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stands and moves around the desk in front of Jamin::  CEO: Perhaps you could explain yourself then.  ::looking slightly upset::

XO_Zax says:
::looks reassuringly at Luna::

CMO_Varr says:
::considers his options... not many, too small for a stimulator, or even the CPR that his MO had been trying to administer to the parent::

Brendae says:
::Wishes with everything she could hold the child::

CMO_Varr says:
::checks for a heartbeat::

CEO_Jamin says:
::unmoving, in perfect military attention:: CO: No sir.

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Can you recommend any holodeck programs? ::Works away at his console::

CNS_Luchena says:
::closes her eyes, imagining herself standing by a cool mountain lake::

CEO_Jamin says:
::feels his blood pooling in his gut::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: as he checks her neurons and cortex for activity, he finds that her body will live on with out the mind::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: No sir!  Are you saying you cannot explain why you felt the need to play around in the holodeck while the ship was in need of you?

CNS_Luchena says:
::realizes it isn't working and imagines herself diving into the cool mountain lake::

XO_Zax says:
::frowns::

Brendae says:
::Fingers lightly touch the womb that contains her child.....watches him shift in position and can't help but let a small smile crack her lips::

CMO_Varr says:
::applies a small electric pulse to contract the muscles in the child's lungs, and then releases it, timing it with what should be a regular breathing pattern::

CEO_Jamin says:
::swallows, but not at the stress from the CO:: CO: I do not understand well enough to explain it. Sir.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: he leaves Krisz in the best shape he can while he walks over to assist in saving one of them:: CMO: Sir, need a hand :: with obvious grief on his face::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO:  Certainly.  I have a holo program that was given to me by Lieutenant Commander Loren that you might find very effective.

CMO_Varr says:
::aims another small pulse, even smaller then the first at the child's heart, making sure it continues::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION: The infant begins to breath erratically.

CNS_Luchena says:
::imagines herself swimming through the cool water::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::scowls under his breath and turns his back moving back to the desk and sits::  CEO: If that is the case Mr. Jamin, you leave us little in alternatives...

CEO_Jamin says:
::holds perfectly still as the first beads of sweat form::

Brendae says:
::Looks over seeing the MO's countenance and begins to softly cry.......now feeling quite alone.::

CMO_Varr says:
::adjusts the timing of the first pulse, trying to smooth the breathing:: MO: Not quite yet.  How is your patient?

MO_Daetalus says:
Brendae: You should go and tend to Krisz, I don’t think there is anything else to be done by me

CNS_Luchena says:
::completely distracted by the tone of the CO's voice::

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Thank you. I shall investigate further. Well, I'm sorry to interrupt. I got to put more attention in my work. Oh....one last thing. If you ever need to ask anything, a question, favour or whatever. I'll always be there. I'm the type a person who you can ask anything of.

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::checks on the computer's progress in decoding the message::

XO_Zax says:
::looks at Andris in concern::

CEO_Jamin says:
::finds himself far less concerned about his situation than he would have expected::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Jamin and feels her pulse and respiration increasing again::

XO_Zax says:
CEO: Perhaps you could try to explain it to us?

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::slightly startled:: FCO: Thank you for your kindness.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The baby stops breathing....

Brendae says:
::Heads over to Krisz and holds her hand during her last moments of life, knowing there is nothing else she can do with their foreign medicine::

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir, based on readings taken, I show that she will live but her mind is gone.  She is only able to survive based on life support only, not of her own accord

Host Karriaunna says:
Action:  Then starts again with a regular rhythm.

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Your very welcomed Lieutenant. ::smiles at Vortak::

CEO_Jamin says:
XO: I cannot. Not yet.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: On this Stardate, I am demoting you by one rank to Lieutenant and reassigning you to the Tactical Department under Mr. Castillo.  Maybe there your need for blood letting will be extinguished.  That is all.  ::looks to his terminal and activates it... seemingly reading something::

CMO_Varr says:
::releases a breath he hadn't known he was keeping, and checks all the readings for abnormalities::

CEO_Jamin says:
::nods curtly, turns and leaves::

CNS_Luchena says:
::is somewhat shocked by the CO's decision::

CNS_Luchena says:
::relaxes as Jamin leaves::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, anything else you wanted with me?

XO_Zax says:
::shakes her head sadly::

CEO_Jamin says:
::feels better as soon as he's out of HER presence::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::can sense the tension in the other room, but only like a distant memory::

Brendae says:
::Stands quietly by hoping the child can be saved.....holding Krisz's hand wishing for her medical bay::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::relaxes to a more somber pose::  CNS: Perhaps... What do you feel about this situation with the Korvith and their "Peace Conference"?

FCO_Tim says:
::Looks at Jamin as he walks out of the CO's RR::

TO_Jamin says:
::takes a deep breath, and steps away from the door:: OPS: Where is Mr. Castillo?

XO_Zax says:
CNS: I have nothing else , CNS...except to ask that you schedule an immediate psyche eval and counseling sessions.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I'm sorry, Sir.   I have been distracted lately... I think you should rely on your past experiences with them, as far as predicting their behaviour.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
TO:  Checking, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  CNS: Dismissed.

Brendae says:
::Looks over the readings one last time.  Seeing the brain waves as they are.  Seeing the medicines she has to work with knows there's nothing she can do::

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir, I will be over with Brendae

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  thank you, Sir.  ::exits Ready Room::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::checks computer readout:: TO: He is in cargo bay 1.

CMO_Varr says:
::sees the readings indicating that the child is ready to take on it's normal functions now at this stage, and releases the pulses:: MO: Noted.

FCO_Tim says:
::Looks at TO_Jamin:: TO: Is everything OK sir?

TO_Jamin says:
::nods politely at the FCO::

Brendae says:
::Softly:: Krisz: I'm sorry my friend.  Sorry for bringing you here.  Sorry we decided to do this.  The decision was a bad one if it caused me to lose my friend.

XO_Zax says:
::looks at the captain:: CO: Sir?

TO_Jamin says:
::feels the hair on the back of his neck stand up again::

CMO_Varr says:
::nods to himself as the child continues to breathe on it's own, and the readings stay within a point-oh-two variance::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: Commander?  Do you think our EO is able to take on the Chief's duties for a while?

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees Jamin out the corner of her eye, and moves as quickly as possible through the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters TL::

XO_Zax says:
::considers the question seriously::

FCO_Tim says:
TO: OK Lieutenant Commander. ::Nods to him and then goes back to work::

MO_Daetalus says:
Brendae: Seeing as you are from the same world, I leave the decision to you.  Either let her live on life-support with no chance of returning to us, or end her suffering

XO_Zax says:
CO: Of course, Sir...he is a good officer and an excellent engineer.

TO_Jamin says:
::realizes the FCO must have overheard...then reaches up and removes a half pip from his collar::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO:  OK, if you'll take care of that in the ship's records... for now, let us return to the bridge and see how we are proceeding.  ::smiles::

Brendae says:
MO: There is no chance of returning to my planet?  I may be able to treat her there.

XO_Zax says:
::smiles back sadly and leaves the room::

CNS_Luchena says:
::exits TL on way to office::  *TO*:  Jamin, please meet me in my office.  XO's orders.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters office, and stops to catch her breath::

Brendae says:
::clasps her arms behind her back watching Krisz::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::gets up from his chair and lets a frown cover his face after the XO turns her back... then exits the RR::

XO_Zax says:
::enters the bridge:: All: Status report?

TO_Jamin says:
::swallows hard, slowly tapping his badge:: *CNS*: ....understood. ::heads for the TL::

MO_Daetalus says:
Brendae: There is a small possibility that we could arrive on time, but she might deteriorate before then and now she is at peace.  But I don’t know for how long.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits and wonders how the heck she is going to get through this assessment::

FCO_Tim says:
XO: ETA in 20 minutes, ma'am!

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
XO:  I have intercepted a message from the Garen Kai.  No luck yet decoding it, Ma'am.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::arrives on the bridge::

MO_Daetalus says:
Brendae: Either way, I don’t think she will make it back in time.

TO_Jamin says:
::takes the TL down in what seems like an extremely short time::

CMO_Varr says:
::overhears the discussion with the MO and Brendae and moves over to them::  MO:  Have you considered using a stasis chamber to hold her until at which time we can treat her?

XO_Zax says:
OPS: Keep at it, Lt. Thank you.

TO_Jamin says:
::stops in front of the office door, stalling::

XO_Zax says:
::looks up as the captain enters the bridge::

Brendae says:
MO: But if there is a chance......::Looks back over the readings and wonders if she's being realistic to her abilities even with her own equipment::

Brendae says:
::Looks up at Varr, hoping he has an answer::

FCO_Tim says:
XO: Correction, 20.34 minutes, ma'am!

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what's taking Jamin so long::

TO_Jamin says:
::one more deep breath, then presses the chime::

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  Enter

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
XO:  Yes, Ma'am.  ::keeps at it::

XO_Zax says:
CO: ETA twenty minutes to Egos, Sir.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes a seat in "The Chair"::  XO: Report

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands up and tries to act professionally::

TO_Jamin says:
::steps inside as boldly as he can muster and stands at attention once again::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: Korvith vessels?  Status.

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  Relax.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to relax::

MO_Daetalus says:
Self: Oh my god, what am I talking about:: CMO: No sir :: Kind of trots to a never-ending closet of supplies and checks Inventory for available stasis tubes::

TO_Jamin says:
::almost laughs:: CNS: You first.

FCO_Tim says:
::Sits at the Conn. awaiting orders::

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  Who are you, anyway?

XO_Zax says:
CO: All systems nominal, Sir. OPS is trying to decode an intercepted Korvith message, Sir.

Host Dokain says:
@ ::Brushes his feathers back, blinking his purple eyes, wiping his white skin, and sits in the command chair, replacing Rokai... motions for them to open a hailing channel to the Pendragon::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::tries another strategy for this message decoding, then double checks the lockout.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices her pulse is racing again::

TO_Jamin says:
::looks startled at the question...but thinks for a moment:: CNS: I'm not sure.

CMO_Varr says:
MO:  ::watching him::  We could use the stasis chambers in the morgue... with a few adjustments they could handle a living person::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
XO,CO:  Correction, Ma'am.  The message was from the Garen-Kai.

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  Is Andris in there anywhere?

FCO_Tim says:
::Sits at the Conn. awaiting orders::

XO_Zax says:
::nods:: OPS: My mistake, Lt.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Can you triangulate the source?

Host Dokain says:
@ ::Waits for the Pendragon to respond to their hail::

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir, how is that possible :: moving towards the doors::

XO_Zax says:
FCO: Maintain present course and speed.

TO_Jamin says:
::speaks between rapid breaths:: I have his body...his memories...part of his mind. I don't know how to explain it.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries ineffectively to calm herself::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
CO:  I have been working on it, Sir.  Incoming hail from the Korvith vessel.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Put them on.

FCO_Tim says:
XO: Yes ma'am! Maintaining speed and course. ::Taps console::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
::Puts them onscreen::

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  We need Andris to run this ship.  His technical skills are essential to our survival in this time 
and place.

Brendae says:
CMO: Do you think we can save her?  Do you even know if the Captain plans on going back to our planet?

TO_Jamin says:
CNS: You don't get it, do you? Andris is a memory. A fading dream.

Host Dokain says:
@ COM: Pendragon: Captain Phail, we would have been at Mionus by now. If you insist we got to a planet of your choosing... must you move at such a slow pace?

CMO_Varr says:
MO: Observe and learn.  ::taps badge::  *CEO_Jamin* CMO to Commander Jamin.  May we have an EO sent to sickbay for an adjustment to a stasis field generator?

XO_Zax says:
CO: TAC reports two Korvith vessels with two scouts accompanying, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  Andris has rights here.  I'm not sure you do.  ::glares at Jamin::

FCO_Tim says:
::Still maintains course and speed of the ship::

Host Dokain says:
@ ::Not as nervous as Rokai was::

TO_Jamin says:
*CMO*: Speak to Harhn. I am no longer CEO. ::actually feels a bit angry about it this time::

CNS_Luchena says:
::feeling frustrated::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Dokain:  Are you in a hurry to complete a task?  By the way... where is the other one I was speaking too earlier?  ::looks curiously::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
CO: ::mutes transmission as she tells him::  Regarding the Garen-Kai message, I can make out the words "warning" and "Pendragon"; the message is going out to all parts of this region and is 
heavily encoded.

TO_Jamin says:
::takes a step forward, ire rising:: CNS: Andris does not exist beyond me. Don't presume to question MY rights to exist!

CMO_Varr says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Self: Okay...  MO: Let's try that again.  *EO* CMO to Mr. Harhn.

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps closer to Jamin.  Voice raises::  TO:  You don't belong here!

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: "Warning" and "Pendragon"?  Do you think it is a warning for us... or about us...?

FCO_Tim says:
::Still maintains course and speed of the ship::

Host Dokain says:
@ COM: Pendragon: Rokai failed in his task to have you come to Mionus. He paid his price. We have no task to complete but establish an apparently uneasy peace with your people... however, you stall... we must wonder, what exactly are you plotting against us?

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: I will go down there

CMO_Varr says:
<EO> *CMO* He occupied right now sir, how can I help you?

XO_Zax says:
::raises a brow and looks concerned::

TO_Jamin says:
::takes another step:: CNS: No, I don't! I belong on a horse, in battle, fighting for a cause! But with all your empathy, you still can't understand, can you?!?!?

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
CO: ::muting transmission at an opportune moment::  I would have to assume that it is about us, sir, else why would they encode it in a code we do not know?  Additionally, it is going out as a general message, not to one location.

Host Dokain says:
@ ::Scratches his beak wondering what Phail is up to::

Brendae says:
::Waiting patiently for a response::

CMO_Varr says:
::raises an eyebrow again:: *EO* Can we have an EO sent to sickbay for an adjustment to a stasis field generator?

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps very close to Jamin::  TO:  You are out of your time.  Give us back Andris!

FCO_Tim says:
XO: Ma'am, if you need the exact locating of that signal, I can try and tracing it from the nav 
sensors?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Dokain: Plot against you?  You are the one who arranged this "Peace Conference".  If anyone is plotting something... naturally it would be you.  But let us not mince words Captain... shall we proceed with the negotiations?

CNS_Luchena says:
::glares at Jamin::

CMO_Varr says:
<EO> *CMO* Of course Sir.  Right away.

XO_Zax says:
FCO: Coordinate with OPS' efforts, Mr. Stricker.

TO_Jamin says:
::steps up again, nose-to-nose:: CNS: Andris is gone! And with you around, it's a good thing!!

Brendae says:
::takes Krisz's hand again:: Krisz: Hold on, please.

CMO_Varr says:
::a bit surprised::  *EO* Thank you.  CMO out.  Self: Maybe service will be a bit better now.

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  With me around!  ::slaps Jamin's face::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the OPS Officer::  OPS: That is my deduction as well.  They may believe we are still in league with the Korvith and are warning others of their race.

FCO_Tim says:
XO: Yes ma'am. OPS: Let's try and trace that signal.

Host Dokain says:
@ COM: Pendragon: You were the ones who wished to meet on the planet. We'd much rather meet in person than over channel. No peace conference has ever been completed perfectly over communications... only in the presence of one another. Naturally you would not like to come onboard our vessel... and we would not wish to come onboard yours for the same reason.

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
CO: Precisely my thoughts, Sir.

FCO_Tim says:
XO: ETA in 10 minutes ma'am!

Host Dokain says:
@ COM: Pendragon: Perhaps you would like to move faster?

CMO_Varr says:
MO:  They should be up shortly.  Just tell them what you need and they will fix it for you.

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Yes sir  :: cant believe what he was thinking earlier::

Brendae says:
CMO: Varr, do you know if the Captain intends to return to our planet?

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO:  I am working on it now.  See what you can do with your navigational sensors. ::sends him the information already gathered::

TO_Jamin says:
::almost moves from the impact, glaring...and grabs her wrist before she can strike again:: CNS: Yes! With YOU around! You DROVE him away!!

XO_Zax says:
TAC: Keep an eye on those vessels, Ens.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods:: COMM: Dokain: At your convenience.

CNS_Luchena says:
::struggles and tries to kick him::  TO:  You know nothing!

Host Dokain says:
@ ::Motions for his ships to increase speed:: COM: Pendragon: Then match our speed... if your ship is capable of the such.

TO_Jamin says:
::grabs the other wrist to block another blow, and growls, their noses nearly touching:: CNS: I know far more than you!

CMO_Varr says:
Brendae:  I believe we will do our best to get you back there, but like my MO, I cannot make any promises as to the time, or even the priority on this.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the viewscreen and looks at the FCO::  FCO: Keep the Pendragon tight on the lead Korvith ship's Astern Mr. Stricker.

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: OK now, these sensors are very sensitive to communication relays and beacons. I usually can see what coming into the comm. when you do from the sub-space frequencies.

CNS_Luchena says:
::is almost overcome with rage::  TO:  You better not let me go, because I'm going to hurt you badly!

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir?

CNS_Luchena says:
::struggles::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: Is curious about the CMO's last comment::

Host Dokain says:
@ ::Cuts comm.::

Brendae says:
CMO: And what will happen to....our.......the......child when we do?

XO_Zax says:
CO: Orders, Sir?

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Yes sir! As tight as she can go. ::Taps console to make the Pen tight at the Astern of the Korvith.

Host Dokain says:
@ Imperium FCO: ETA to their chosen planet?

TO_Jamin says:
::slips a hand under her arm, grasping the nape of her neck:: CNS: Of course! Hurt me because of YOUR mistake! Some psychologist YOU are!!

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO: I am quite familiar with sensors, Mr. Stricker, I was the CSO on the Gryphon before being assigned to the Pendragon.  ::continues her work on the message source and meanwhile monitors the Korvith for any hails, incoming or outgoing::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::returns to his seat::  XO: Orders...  Your orders are to do everything in your power to beat the Korvith vessels to the planet Egos...  maximum warp!

CMO_Varr says:
::looks at the MO briefly before addressing Brendae's question::  Brendae: That remains to be seen, but I suspect we will need to spend much time talking about this before any decision is made.

FCO_Tim says:
XO: With increased speed, we can reach the planet in 5 minutes.

XO_Zax says:
::grins:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::hisses and tries to bite Jamin::

Host Dokain says:
@ <Imp. FCO> Dokain: Five minutes, sir. And sir... it appears they're trying to outrun us to the planet.

XO_Zax says:
OPS: Divert power to the warp engines, LT.

Host Dokain says:
@ ::Grin:: Are they... match their speed and increase.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Make it 2.5.

Brendae says:
::Nods turning her attention back to Krisz::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
XO: Acknowledged. Diverting power. ::allocates less necessary power to the engines::

TO_Jamin says:
::suddenly freezes, a strange impulse rising...::

XO_Zax says:
*EO*: We need maximum warp, Lt.

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Well, the nav sensors are different though. Just look for the transmitter and not the signal. That usually does it.

CNS_Luchena says:
::still struggling, but Jamin is too strong::

Host Dokain says:
@ <Imp. FCO> ::Increases speed, trying to beat the Pendragon out to the planet::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Yes sir 2.5 minutes.

Host Dokain says:
@ <Other Korvith Vessels> ::Wonder what is going on, and try to catch up::

CMO_Varr says:
::turns to the MO:  MO:  What was your question?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Down in engineering, the warp core glows but stays within safety parameters

TO_Jamin says:
::with a tight grip on her neck, kisses her strongly, not even knowing why::

XO_Zax says:
*CNS*: You may be needed on the bridge, Lt. Please stand by.

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Nothing sir ::is distraught::

Brendae says:
::Wonders who could ever love such a stoic man::

CNS_Luchena says:
::fiercely kisses him back::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO:  The CSO position includes maintaining the navigational sensors.  ::continues to work on power allocation for the warp engines::

TO_Jamin says:
::presses in harder, causing them both to slam into a wall, dislodging several items that are no doubt precious to her::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hands free, tries to shred his clothing::

FCO_Tim says:
OPS: Yes, of course. I'm trying to find the beacon or transmitter, it will take some time. I need to scan allot of space to find it.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The planet comes on sensors as the ship slows for orbital approach.

Host Dokain says:
@ <Imp. FCO> ::Slows the ship::

OPS_Lt_Vortak says:
FCO: Certainly.

TO_Jamin says:
::feels his shoulder exposed where she tore his tunic, and returns the favor as they spiral straight into her desk::
