An Ancient Broken Way pt 6

Guest starring:
Sam H as SO_Homer.

Host Karriauna says:
Synopsis:  The services for T’rget have been completed.  There is a sense of unease in the air.  The freighter remains missing for the Orion's are guarding their borders from intrusion informing the crew to go through normal procedures to search for the freighter.

Host Karriauna says:
An unusual power source was briefly picked up from the moon around Rigel IV but it vanished at the same moment the ship was released from whatever was causing them to slowly drift.

Host Karriauna says:
When requesting to proceed in their search, the Pendragon was ordered back to SB 78.  They have left the area and are in route.  But in their path, lies something yet unknown…

FCO_Rofax says:
CSO: Any idea what lies beyond?  ::nods toward the doors::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::notes the CMO and smiles at his approach::  CMO: Ahh doctor.  I don't think we had the pleasure to meet my last time here.  ::sits on the required bed::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: You have the bridge.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::notices something:: CO:  Captain!  Communications have gone silent!

CNS_Simmons says:
::does a few jumping jacks to get the adrenaline flowing::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO_Mergatroid>  CO: Aye Captain.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: I was hoping you'd know.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CIV: Correct, I am new to the Pendragon

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: exits the turbolift and heads towards the holodeck and sees O'Dunn and Rofax ::

Host CO_Zax says:
::pauses:: Ops: Silent?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::extends her hand:: CMO: Pleasure to meet you then.  ::smiling::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Silent, Sir.  I'm not receiving any signals at all.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::waits::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks around:: TO: Scan the area.

FCO_Rofax says:
::spies M'Tor approaching::  CEO: Lt...  ::nods::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Takes a PADD and looks at the CIV's last physical:: CIV: I see it have not been that long since your last physical, this won't take long and nice to meet you as well.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: boost the Comm signals.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::taps foot::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::boosts the signal:: CO:  Captain I already have, still nothing.

CNS_Simmons says:
::sticks his head out the HD door to see if anyone is there yet::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::smiles ironically::  CMO: You’re correct.  Only a matter of hours.

TO_McCloud says:
<TO_Infinityandbeyond> *TO*: Aye.. ::grabs a phaser and heads to bridge::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: smiles to Rofax :: FCO: Lt :: then turns and smiles to O'Dunn :: CSO: Commander.

FCO_Rofax says:
::wonders if knocking the CNS out cold would get him out of having to do this::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Run a level 3 diagnostic.

CNS_Simmons says:
CEO/CSO/FCO:  Welcome, welcome, welcome.  Let's get started, shall we?  ::grins brightly, perhaps too brightly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: Chief. ::eyes him for a moment, before turning to the CNS::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Turns and picks up a pair of "Sub Zero Cold Gloves" then changes his mind::  CIV: Give me one moment

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CMO: What would you like me to do first?  Stick out my tongue, or extend my arm for a DNA scan?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Computer:  Computer, Run a level 3 diagnostic on all comm systems.  Explain the comm blackout.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CIV: Let me just get a bio scan right quick

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::nods briefly at the CMO::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes the overly cheerful counselor doubtfully::

FCO_Rofax says:
::follows the others into the HD, anticipating the worst::

CNS_Simmons says:
FCO/CEO/CSO:  Okay, now let's all stand in a close little circle here.  ::jumps around gesturing at a spot on the floor::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: nods in the direction of the CNS :: CSO: She is.... our.... :: looks for word :: course teacher?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Scans Marat with a tricorder:: CIV: So what brings you to the Dragon?

Host CO_Zax says:
ALL: Yellow alert.

FCO_Rofax says:
::thinks the CNS should self-medicate::

SO_Homer says:
::Steps onto the bridge::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::guesses she is not going to have a chat with the CO after all::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Tria, can this wait for a few moments?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::steps over to the indicated circle:: CEO: It would seem....so.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Certainly Sir.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::wonders if the CNS has some untreated medical condition::

Host CO_Zax says:
SO: Full system scan.

Host CO_Zax says:
:pauses::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::looks mildly confused:: CMO: The dragon?  Oh the Pendragon.  With the fostering peace between our governments, we thought it would be a wise diplomatic move to put a Cardassian Officer on the Federation ship which once saved our people from a plague two and a half years ago.

CNS_Simmons says:
::notices the yellow alert::  CEO/CSO/FCO:  Okay, let's make this quick.  GROUP HUG!!

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Don't allow the yellow alert to interfere with the training just yet.

SO_Homer says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

CNS_Simmons says:
::throws her arms around the two nearest her::

SO_Homer says:
::Does a full systems check::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Notify the CNS to keep them until I notify them.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: blinks :: CNS: Excuse me ?

FCO_Rofax says:
::hears the yellow alert and thinks the HD is far less important than previously::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Sorry, duty calls. ::walks away...quickly::

CNS_Simmons says:
CSO:  Get back here!

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::notes the odd blinking yellow lights::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CNS*:  Bridge to CNS.  Captains orders, you are to keep those officers there until notified by the Captain.

CEO_M`Tor says:
*CO* M`Tor to bridge... you have a problem? I see the yellow alert indicators

FCO_Rofax says:
::thinks if this gets him out of here.... what the heck::

CNS_Simmons says:
*OPS*:  Acknowledged.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns angrily:: CSO: Counselor, an alert overrides.... ::blinks at the comm, wondering what the....::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: blinks as he hears the OPS'  COM :::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CIV: Glad to see you here ::Hears the yellow alert:: CIV, your physical is completed, I must head to the bridge

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CMO: So... will I survive doctor?

CNS_Simmons says:
CEO/CSO/FCO:  Back to your marks.  Quickly, quickly.  ::claps hands in a most annoying way::

TO_McCloud says:
CO(or whoever is in command): dozens of ships on sensors.. ETA 15 min

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::smiles again::  CMO: Thank you.  I think I'll join you.  ::gets up and follows the CMO::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CIV: I would say so

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, No malfunction in the COMM systems ... It's as if all sound is being swallowed up ... I can't explain it!

FCO_Rofax says:
::is tempted to clap the CNS into submission, but takes his place instead::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: wonders if he should just knock the CNS unconscious and claim he fainted ::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Dozens of ships?  What kind?

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::steps back to the circle hesitantly, as far from the CNS as possible::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::wonders if she should just knock herself unconscious and claim she fainted::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks up at the TO's words::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Enters the TL along with the CIV::  TL: Bridge

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: glares at the CNS and steps with the others ::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::walking through the corridor to the TL::  CMO: I don't know how useful a level One Security clearance will do but...  I'll help where I can.

CNS_Simmons says:
CEO/CSO/FCO:  Now, where was I?  Oh yes.  GROUP HUG!!!!  Come on now!  ::throws her arms wide open::

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Dozens? ::said very sharply::

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Identify!

TO_McCloud says:
XO: Unknown..

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::feels the lift move upward::

FCO_Rofax says:
::raises arms as he feels this will only get him out of here sooner::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Are we within communications range?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans the vessels to see if they are the ones jamming comms::

CNS_Simmons says:
::tapping foot waiting for them all to hug each other::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I am not obligated under any Starfleet regulation to accept physical contact from another crewmember. No thank you.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Checking ... They'll be in range in another 5 minutes.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Looks at the CIV:: CIV: Is this your first time on a Federation ship?

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::steps out on the bridge... the "clanging" TM boots ring on the deckplates once again::

CNS_Simmons says:
CSO:  And how do you feel about that?

Host CO_Zax says:
EO: Can you identify those ships?

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: chuckles ::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Prepare to comm them when they are in range.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::nods at the CMO::  CMO: It is the first time I have served my government on one yes.  ::smiles::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::breaks down laughing hysterically:: CNS: Oh, why don't you tell me, ELIZA? ::laughs harder::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, there's a strong possibility that these ships are jamming our comm channels ...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Ma'am

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Looks at the noisy boots::  CO: Lt Blackwolf reporting, sir

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods grimly::

CNS_Simmons says:
::eyes the CSO doubtfully::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::tries to convince the CNS they have and did a marvelous job doing so:: ~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Get my bridge crew back up here.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::looking toward the CO::  CO:  Ahh.... Captain.  What seems to be the problem today?

CNS_Simmons says:
FCO/CEO:  And how do you feel about being here today.  ::grins brightly... way too brightly::

SO_Homer says:
::Scans the ships:: CO:  I have no idea, Power signatures are unidentifiable, not in the database I have unknown references.

Host CO_Zax says:
:;raises a brow at Marat:: CIV: None yet, thank you. Would you care to sit?

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: shrugs ::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Red alert, Sir?

FCO_Rofax says:
CNS: I feel as if that was a really good hug and I am needed elsewhere....

TO_McCloud says:
::hands are ready to move::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::holds up a hand and smiles::  CO: I'm fine where I am thank you.

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the XO:: ::nods::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::finally calms down, wiping tears of hysterical laughter away::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Takes a seat at Science One::

CNS_Simmons says:
::is too dense to feel anyone probing what's left of her mind::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Red alert

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~  ::attempts to put the CNS asleep::  ~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Lock in evasive maneuvers.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye ::brings the ship to Red Alert::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Raises an eye brow::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO_Mergatroid>  CO: Aye Captain.   ::taps the appropriate keys::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::steps back near the TL and out of the way::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::at the red alert, leaves quickly and without a word to the deranged counselor::

Host Karriauna says:
ACTION: Red alert is sounded through out the ship.

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: leaves for the bridge immediately as he hears the Red Alert siren ::

FCO_Rofax says:
::tails O'Dunn out of the HD and into the TL::

CNS_Simmons says:
::notices the red alert::  CSO/CEO/FCO:  Okay then.  If all of you promise to be nice to other species, we can wrap this up

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: steps into the turbolift with O`Dunn ::

SO_Homer says:
::Quickly moves over as the CMO Moves to Science I::

CNS_Simmons says:
::watches them all running away without answering her::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Try a multiphasic boost of the COMM.

FCO_Rofax says:
::shouting over his shoulder::  CNS: But of course.....

CSO_O`Dunn says:
TL: Bridge!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Acknowledged.  ::tries a multiphasic boost ... ::

CEO_M`Tor says:
CSO/FCO: Shall we group hug before we go to work? :: tried to keep a straight face ::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Jumps up and moves to the back of the bridge::

FCO_Rofax says:
::laughs loudly at the unusual bit of humor from a Klingon::   CEO: I love you man......  ::continues laughing::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::notes the doctor stand beside her again::  CMO: Hello again doctor.  ::grins at him::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::tries to stay expressionless, only allowing a quick smirk as she dashes out of the lift and takes the science station::

SO_Homer says:
CMO: Sir, you want to use Science?

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: shakes head and laughs as he moves to the Engineering console ::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
SO: That is fine, carry on

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::notes how closely the rushing CSO nearly ran into her::

FCO_Rofax says:
::exits onto the bridge and takes his place at the helm::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Attempt to hail the lead ship.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CIV: Hello again

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches as the multi-phasic boost seems to work ... ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Hailing now.  ::hails the lead ship::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::relieved to be in a dangerous, potentionally life-threatening situation::

FCO_Rofax says:
::notes the approaching ships::  Self:  This'll be about as much fun as trying to bathe a wild targ....

SO_Homer says:
CSO: Sir... All I got is that the Power Signatures are not in the database, there is no known reference.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
SO: Thanks. ::takes a look at the readings::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CMO: Times like this must be hard for a ship physician.  Never knowing if injuries will occur in the next few minutes.

CEO_M`Tor says:
CO: Engineering reports systems are functioning normally Captain. :: looks at the ship design to see if he recognizes it ::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Any thoughts, Commander?

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: Any experience on tactical?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CIV: This is true but I am use to is

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  We hope they are friendly?  Ummm... should we at least inform Starfleet of our situation?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Signals are getting through, though.  the Multiphasic boost seems to be working ...

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::tries to stifle a laugh at the CO's question::  CO: Yes, but may I remind the Captain that I only have a level one security clearance?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  No response to our hails.

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles grimly:: XO: If the signal is finally getting through, that would be a good idea.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Can you get a message through to Starfleet and inform them of our situation?

FCO_Rofax says:
::continues to plot evasive maneuvers::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I'll try, Sir.  ::prepares a message and attempts to send it to SFC::

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: You may. You may also want to observe during a critical moment. Unless you'd prefer to chat instead?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CO: I was trained as a TO when going through JAG.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CO: I can read the tactical display but effectively do nothing.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::can't believe how multitalented their doctor is::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO/CO:  I can't get a signal through.  It's almost as though it's being swallowed by something ...

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: reviews the repairs that were done to the warp coils and finds them to be satisfactory::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::is rather itching to take over the tactical console herself::

Host CO_Zax says:
CMO: Thank you, Doctor, but you're doing well where you are.

Host CO_Zax says:
:;looks at Tria:: XO: Perhaps you'd care to.........?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: Aye

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Yes Sir!

FCO_Rofax says:
::grins slightly::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::moves to the main tactical console and logs on::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::boosts the signal to maximum strength and tries again::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: They've got an odd sort of warp core...almost looks like a quantum vacuum core....

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CMO: It's ok doctor.  At least your on-hand if a bridge officer should become injured.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Takes a tricorder and scans the crew to keep an eye on their vitals::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Are they a match for us?

Host Tal_N`darat says:
ACTION:  A feedback of power returns to the ship, creating a painful high pitch resonance.

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: blinks then looks at the CSO :: CSO: You are not serious... quantum vacuum core ?

FCO_Rofax says:
::instinctively covers his ears::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers, maximum warp. Get us out of here!

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Grabs his ears::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::eagerly takes as many readings as possible:: CO: A match?  ::winces at the sound:: We've only theorized about that sort of power source....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::covers her ears and winces::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::grimaces but keeps pouring over the information on the tactical console::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: covers ears ::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO:  Aye Captain...   ::returns hands to the console, ignoring the sound best he can::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::tries to determine what sort of weapon systems the approaching ships have::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::Nods at the CEO, a little dumbfounded at the prospects::

FCO_Rofax says:
::plots escape course and take the ship to warp::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Send a beacon to SFC. ::figures it might be all that’s left, but hey..........::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CO: Captain... your running with your tail between your legs?  Tsk, tsk....

TO_McCloud says:
<TO_Infinityandbeyond> ::arrives::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  Why don't you just hold that thought for a while?  ::eyes her::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Looks at the CIV::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::shrugs at the XO and goes back to her post near the TL::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye ... Preparing beacon ... ::feeds all the information they have and a message to SFC into a beacon and launches it::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Leans over to the CIV:: Marat: Comments like that is not called for

FCO_Rofax says:
::thinks someone else is in need of a session with the good CNS::

TO_McCloud says:
TO2: Get over here!

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::quickly decides for certain that she does NOT like the CIV::

Host CO_Zax says:
::tilts her head slightly and eyes the little lizard:: CIV: Perhaps you would like to take your shuttle and take a stand?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::replaces her hands over her ears as the sound almost becomes too much for her::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::between the CIV and the noise is about ready to shoot somebody::

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: Can you kill that noise?

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: growls slightly at the CIVs comment ::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CO: Captain... now that certainly was uncalled for.  I am merely trying to point out the obvious weakness on their part.  ::pointing at the ships on the viewscreen::  If you head directly towards them at high warp you would break through their line and come up behind them.

CEO_M`Tor says:
CO: I am cutting power now Captain...

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::can't believe the Cardassian is actually THAT ignorant of basic engineering::

Host Tal_N`darat says:
ACTION:  Blessed silence rings through the air.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Continues to scan the crew members::

FCO_Rofax says:
::sighs with relief::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Ahhh.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head as if trying to clear it::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods very pleasantly:: CIV: I understand, Glinn. But perhaps now is not the time to challenge my authority?

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: exhales slightly ::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Rubs his ears::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  Perhaps now would be a good time for you to familiarize yourself with our recreational facilities?  ::glares at her::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: ETA to the nearest SB?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::has a headache::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::still trying to get a read on the approaching ships weapons systems::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::shrugs at the CO wondering how a suggestion could be misconstrued as a challenge::

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Sir!  The ships are breaking formation.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  They are picking up speed and approaching in a circle formation!!

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers. Don't let them surround us.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns, still scanning for weaknesses in their power systems::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, ETA to SB 78 is three days.....

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  And their weapons are beyond our capacity to defend against!!!

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::takes a deep breath and tries to calm down::

Host CO_Zax says:
::is very surprised that somehow, somewhere a wormhole hasn't opened up::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain..... ::lays in repetitive evasives and alters course drastically::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: analyzes their engine signatures ::

TO_McCloud says:
CO: Ships have broken formation, some are increasing speed

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks COMM systems ... not surprised to find they're still down::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Captain, they can produce more power than we could dream of doing.

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::clutches his pendant and reaches out for Gilthanas::  Gil: Uh.... a little help...  ~~~

Host Tal_N`darat says:
ACTION: A blinding light shoots out from each ship, centering on the Pendragon.

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: We need something...anything.......

Host Tal_N`darat says:
ACTION:  The ship drops from warp.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::Feels the ship drop out of warp::  FCO:  What's happened?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::grimly:: CO: I recommend a log buoy.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::thinks the alien armament is impressive... the Union could benefit from it::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Continues to scan the crew::

FCO_Rofax says:
::braces against the console to steady himself::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
CO: I recommend new tactics.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hangs onto the console as the ship drops from warp::

FCO_Rofax says:
XO: We have been hit by an unknown energy.... we have lost warp Cmdr.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  And I recommend you shut up!

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Its out.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::can't believe she said that out loud::

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: You have a useful suggestion?

CEO_M`Tor says:
Self: Khest! How did they so that?  CO: Captain.. engines are offline... we have no main power.... switching to emergency power.

Host Tal_N`darat says:
ACTION:  The FCO feels a sense of warmth, but nothing more.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: Well.  I can see peace between our people has a long way to go yet.

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: We need answers!

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: All the tactics in the world can't get us past their defenses.

FCO_Rofax says:
::figures it is probably his console ready to explode::

TO_McCloud says:
CO: Three Orion ships behind us..

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::looks at the CIV and bites her tongue::

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Orions?

CEO_M`Tor says:
CO: I shall find them Captain... :: reviews the sensor readings of the weapon that hit ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Still nothing on Comm channels.

Host XO_Kyrron says:
::wonders where the Orion ships came from::

Host CO_Zax says:
::wonders the same thing....not that she knows what the XO is wondering::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::looks around the CEO at his console and it's reports::

FCO_Rofax says:
::wonders what the CO and XO are wondering::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: sighs :: CIV: What do you want ?

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: wonders what the CIV wants ::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::looks up at the Klingon::  CEO: I'm merely trying to be of assistance.

CEO_M`Tor says:
