Host Admiral_Harlan says:
@::Leans back in her chair, running a tired hand through her lightly graying hair::

SFI_Chamberlain says:
::Walks to the TL::

CEO_Smith says:
CSO: Sir, the only conclusive thing that our scans can derive from this cube is that the interior is less dense than the exterior.

XO_Bafii says:
CSO: I'll be on the bridge, please keep me updated on your progress

OPS_Qon says:
::Begins thinking about the new holo training simulation he just received::

PO_Adamson says:
::sees that all is working fine and sets the system online::

CSO_Gunther says:
::for some unfathomable reason, gets a very bad feeling about this cube, as if a snarling, razor-clawed alien is going to jump out of it and infect the crew with a nasty replicating virus like in a bad Earth movie::

XO: hello  ::heads-back-to-his-office-to-get-his-padd::

CSO_Gunther says:
CEO: I don't know yet.

CEO_Smith says:
CSO: Understood.

Ped_Prin says:
XO: What are you doing in my neck of the woods?

Host CO_Zax says:
SFI: Please sit down.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::enters CB1 and sees the CEO &CSO, makes her way over to them::

Adm: Secured location, Sir.

SFI_Chamberlain says:
::Sits::

XO_Bafii says:
:: smiles at Dree :: PED: Can't I stop by to check on my favorite pregnant pediatrician in the quadrant?

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
COMM: Thank you Captain.  You of course know Lt. Chamberlain.  You know exactly who he is.  What you do not know, is why he was placed aboard your ship.  I know give him permission to inform you.

SO_Scully says:
::monitors scanners::

CEO_Smith says:
::sees a new face:: Hello ensign.

EO_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Sir.

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
@COMM: SFI:  Please proceed.

Mickey_Danster says:
::successfully re-routes the transporters to his location and locks onto his bio-signature, initiating a site-to-site transport to the shuttle bay, and then wipes the transporter memory to leave no trace of his transport::

CEO_Smith says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: That is what makes this cube a mystery.

XO_Bafii says:
:: hops up on a biobed to take a seat :: Ped: It has been a lot of adjusting, I'm still not completely settled into the routine

SFI_Chamberlain says:
COMM: ADM: Yes, sir.

Host CO_Zax says:
::is violently unsmiling::

CEO_Smith says:
::turns to the ensign:: EO: Yes?

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
ACTION:  A red light bleeps briefly on the tactical consol before going out.

EO_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Ensign Jordan Pettigrove reporting for duty, Sir.

CSO_Gunther says:
CEO: The metal is blocking any effective scans. Let's drill a hole in the side...a millimeter at a time...until the material is thin enough to allow a better reading.

Ped_Prin says:
XO: At least Sickbay is quiet enough and pretty much the same from place to place it makes the transition easier.

CMO_Daetalus says:
::takes-the-XO's-ignoring-him-as-a-no-and-leaves-heading-for-the-TL::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::notices the red light and checks tactical sensors::

SO_Scully says:
::notices red light on tactical consol::

CEO_Smith says:
::turns to the CSO:: Already prepped sir

SO_Scully says:
CTO: Do you need assistance with the consol?

CSO_Gunther says:
CEO: Let's automate this process and keep it inside the field, shall we?

SFI_Chamberlain says:
CO: A few months ago Starfleet captured a super soldier.

XO_Bafii says:
:: smiles again :: Ped: But just not quite the same is it :: looks around the room ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Do you need any assistance?

CEO_Smith says:
CSO: It would be safer sir

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
@::Looks off into the alcove at Red before turning back to the view screen.  The message passing between their eyes relaying everything.  But the choice had been made and her hands were partially tied in all of this.::

Mickey_Danster says:
::materializes in the main shuttle bay and heads to a nearby shuttle::

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns slightly::

Ped_Prin says:
::Sighs and crosses her arms:: XO: No....It's not.

CSO_Gunther says:
CEO: Let's do it, then. ::sets up the tricorder for continuous scans while the CEO sets up the drill::

CMO_Daetalus says:
::gets-in-to-the-TL::_TL:_Bridge

CTO_Kyrron says:
SO:  No, I don't think so.  ::checks tactical sensors again trying to figure out what caused the blinking light::

XO_Bafii says:
Ped: I haven't spent much time in the room... or any sickbay - not since my coma

SFI_Chamberlain says:
CO: This super soldier is currently finding his way back to his gang of five.

CEO_Smith says:
EO: Welcome to the Pendragon. I need a diagnostic ran on all primary systems, could you have the report to me by 1500 hours?

Ped_Prin says:
::Smiles:: XO: I remember that.....That's been quite a while

CEO_Smith says:
::begins to set the drill for automation::

Host CO_Zax says:
SFI: Super soldier?

EO_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CEO:  Aye, Sir.  ::turns and leaves the CB and heads for ME::

SO_Scully says:
::checks other monitors for possible malfunctions::

CEO_Smith says:
::finishes up calculations:: CSO: Ready here, sir.

XO_Bafii says:
Ped: Yes, we have both seen and been through a lot since then.. you've gone from the sorta-shy Jorae I knew to this strong and mature, and very pregnant, Prin... but still, it is still Dree I see in the eyes

CSO_Gunther says:
::nods:: CEO: Let's go then.

CEO_Smith says:
::initiates drill::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::arrives in ME and commences to run the diagnostics::

SFI_Chamberlain says:
CO: This breed of solider is the next generation of soldiers. With the Borg always threatening, an unrecognized section of Starfleet Intelligence in coordination with a few individuals at Starfleet Command developed the “Cronin” Project where 5 humans would be genetically altered to resist Borg nanites, phaser fire and be able to heal themselves..

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
ACTION:  The cube starts to quiver.

CSO_Gunther says:
::watches the sensor readout between the millimeter stops::

OPS_Qon says:
::Notices at the end of the diagnostic cycle that a transport was initiated, but no more can be discovered::

Ped_Prin says:
XO: Yes....VERY pregnant.  I'm read to be done with this pregnancy......But yes.....It's still the Same Dree.

SFI_Chamberlain says:
CO: from a Jem’Hadar Blast. Something went terribly wrong. Their natural IQ levels went beyond the normal. They picked up everything they learned excelling those who had envisioned them. They started to revolt and it was decided that they had no choice but to destroy them.

CMO_Daetalus says:
::Exits-the-TL-and-heads-to-the-RR-and-rings-the-Chime::

CEO_Smith says:
CSO: Ummm, sir....

CSO_Gunther says:
CEO: Hold it....

CEO_Smith says:
::stops drill::

SFI_Chamberlain says:
CO: They came against a major problem though; the standard weapons could not kill them. They continued to survive, fighting back. Command did not expect that to happen. The five busted out of an Institution near Pengrax III.

Mickey_Danster says:
::enters a sleek type 11 shuttle and powers up systems, bypassing the startup diagnostic routines and powering up weapons::

XO_Bafii says:
Ped: So how is the pregnancy going?

CSO_Gunther says:
*SO*: Scully, I need a favor.

OPS_Qon says:
*XO* Commander, I have some information that you would like to hear. Please report to the bridge

SFI_Chamberlain says:
CO: The admiral thinks that there is a Soldier onboard your ship.

SO_Scully says:
*CSO* Yes?

Ped_Prin says:
XO: Progressing well....Baby’s healthy....I've got about a month left.

XO_Bafii says:
*OPS* Understood

OPS_Qon says:
::Notices a power build up but can’t pin point the source.

CMO_Daetalus says:
::vvonders-vvhat-is-going-on::

Ped_Prin says:
::Sighs:: XO: Well.....looks like duty calls.

CSO_Gunther says:
*SO*: Graph the resonant frequencies for the known titanium/osmium alloys and send it to my PADD.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::completes the diagnostics on the shields and finds all in order ... commences diagnostics on weapons systems::

XO_Bafii says:
:: sighs :: Ped: Guess I have to cut this visit short, but how about dinner tonight  :: quickly :: to catch up on things

OPS_Qon says:
::Runs through systems checks::

Host CO_Zax says:
::hears the chime::

Ped_Prin says:
XO: I'd love that.....

Mickey_Danster says:
::trying to access the shuttle bay door controls to open the massive tritanium-duranium composite door::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CMO*: Please hold, Lt.

SO_Scully says:
*CSO* I'll let you know when it's ready. ::begins graphing::

Ped_Prin says:
XO: I'll see you then....you need to run.... ::Nods to the door::

XO_Bafii says:
:: walking out the door :: Ped: 1900 hours - my quarters

CMO_Daetalus says:
*CO*:Aye-sir::Begin-milling-around-the-bridge-looking-at-the-interesting-buttons::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
ACTION:  A the shuttle bay light winks on the tactical board.

CSO_Gunther says:
::nods to nobody in particular:: CEO: Let's proceed, with .5 millimeter stops.

Ped_Prin says:
XO: Will do.

Host CO_Zax says:
SFI: On my ship?

XO_Bafii says:
:: arrives on the bridge moments later :: OPS: What do you have for me?

SO_Scully says:
*CSO* All right, here it comes. ::sends graphs::

Mickey_Danster says:
::not having any luck with the door, he brings the shuttle around to bear weapons.. locking phasers on and prepping shields::

CEO_Smith says:
::taps in new instructions:: CSO: Ready, sir

Host CO_Zax says:
::straightens quickly::

CSO_Gunther says:
CEO: Go...

OPS_Qon says:
::Sees shuttle bay launch controls have been tampered with::

CEO_Smith says:
::begins drilling again::

SFI_Chamberlain says:
CO: He/She might be posing as a Diplomat.  All we have is a picture from the USS Sentinel, but they can change their form at any time.

Ped_Prin says:
::Brightens a little and returns to her narcotics logging::

OPS_Qon says:
::Calls up shuttle bay specs and protocols::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::completes the weapons diagnostics ... again all in order ... starts on the engines::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
@COMM:  Captain, I apologize for all the secrecy, but it is a hunch.  A hunch that if I am wrong could have grave repercussions through the federation consul.  Yet if I am right and did nothing, the federation is at risk.

CMO_Daetalus says:
::is-looking-at-all-the-beeping-lights-and-absorbing-the-clicks-and-vvhistles::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the screen:: Adm: Is my crew in danger?

OPS_Qon says:
::Locates the energy build up::

Host CO_Zax says:
Adm: Permission to fill in my XO and CTO?

XO_Bafii says:
:: walks next to the Operations officer :: OPS: Your report?

OPS_Qon says:
*XO* Commander, there is an energy build up in the main shuttle bay. Commander, the power signature is consistent with weapons build up

SO_Scully says:
::wonders if the graphs have something to do with solving the mystery of the cube, begins working on some theories involving derivatives of the alloys::

Mickey_Danster says:
::fires phasers as the shuttle bay door, blasting a hole in the door wide enough for the shuttle to escape::

SFI_Chamberlain says:
Comm: Adm: Sir, I'd advise against it.

XO_Bafii says:
OPS: Overload potential?

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
@CO:  Lt. Chamberlain believes my fears are founded.  So I would say yes.  However, we still are not positive on this.  You may inform whomever you need to, but please, keep as much of this to yourself as possible.  This information remains highly classified.

OPS_Qon says:
::Pointing to screen:: XO: See sir, it is like a shuttle has been activated and is trying to leave, but the records do not concur

Host CO_Zax says:
::glares at Chamberlain::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: ADM: Thank you, Sir. Understood.

XO_Bafii says:
OPS: Lock down the shuttle bay

CMO_Daetalus says:

CEO: This is the exciting part of science....

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
ACTION:  A large hole appears in shuttle bay creating atmospheric disturbances.

XO_Bafii says:
*CTO* Please report to the shuttle bay immediately - looks like we may have an unauthorized departure

Mickey_Danster says:
::pilots the shuttle out of the door before the force field can auto-activate to close the breach::

OPS_Qon says:
XO: No sir I do not believe it is an overload. I also noticed a transport was initiated without authorization, but could not locate the source or the target

CEO_Smith says:
::feels a shutter::

FCO_Rofax says:
::scrolls through the latest diagnostic and feels the shudder::

CEO_Smith says:
SELF: What in.... *EO*: Report.

CSO_Gunther says:
::watches the depth count creep up slowly::

XO_Bafii says:
OPS: Scan for any shuttles leaving and prepare a tractor beam if they get out

EO_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Sir.  We've got a hull breach in the main shuttle bay.  I'm on my way there now.

OPS_Qon says:
::Initiates level 10 containment of shuttle bay::

OPS_Qon says:
XO: He is bringing all systems to full power and preparing to jump to warp

SO_Scully says:
*CO* the shuttle has escaped.  We are attempting to lock on a tractor beam

XO_Bafii says:
*CEO* How serious?  Is it contained?

Mickey_Danster says:
::feels the tractor beam lock-on and quickly adjusts the shields to emit an alternating anti-polaron field that causes a feedback in the tractor beam::

Host CO_Zax says:
*SO*: What shuttle?

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
ACTION:  The ship stabilizes.

Host CO_Zax says:

SO_Scully says:
:: assists with tractor beam::

XO_Bafii says:
*CO* Captain - we have just located an unauthorized shuttle launch - they blew out the wall - we are locking on with tractors

Host CO_Zax says:
::stands and strides onto the bridge::

Host CO_Zax says:
::is very angry::

SO_Scully says:
CO: A shuttle has left the ship without authorization.

CTO_Kyrron says:
