Thatl says:  
CSO: You'd have to ask engineering about that. Currently we do seem able to monitor the stow away.  Did you notice that she is half Romulan and half Human, not a Ferengi?

Q`og says:

::sighs:: OPS, CEO : Well.. I'm going to order my people to do another intensive scan of those "areas" to see if there was nothing else we "missed"

CEO_Wilkens says:  
CTO: Well... I have no idea. Perhaps that would be a better question for the child. it would help to prevent further such incidents in the future...

OPS_Turner says:

CSO_Larek says:  
Thatl: yes

CTO_Tealk says:  
*CO* : Aye sir.. ::shrugs at the CSO and CEO and leaves the bridge::

CEO_Wilkens says:  
CTO: of course. If I or my department can help in anyway, please let me know. ::smiles.::

CTO_Tealk says:  
<Sec> ::takes them both as one of his partners takes the cat::

Q`og says:  
K`ai: even if you hate me, I can not believe that you would leave the pictures of your mother behind

OPS_Turner says:  
CTO: Sir I want to accompany the team to check the systems. I don't see how this could have happened.

CTO_Tealk says:  
::Exits the TL and heads for the conference room::

XO_Vraylle says:  
::raises an eyebrow at the fact that the CMO is still here:: CMO: Unless you have any other questions, yes. Dismissed.

CO_Vn`dor says:

K`ai says:  
Q:  I would like to cram any flower ... :: leaves it there, looks to the CO for help::   Holo's of my mother!  Ya right, why would any be taken?  No one wants me!

CTO_Tealk says:  
<Tac officer> OPS, CEO : Very well..

CMO_Varr says:  
XO: Thank you sir. ::turns and leaves the bridge with only a slight more alacrity then he arrived::

@::begins analysing data::

CO_Vn`dor says:  
K`ai:  ::soothing voice::  Now why would you say something like that?  You seem like a lovely child.

K`ai says:  
CO:  I'm just looking for my father, and he wants me for a slave.  He never met my mother!

K`ai says:  
:: half smile at the captain::

CTO_Tealk says:  
::chimes again::

OPS_Turner says:  
::notices CTO is gone::

CO_Vn`dor says:  
Q`og: Is this true?   *XO*: Send someone from Medical down here to Conf Room 3a please.

CTO_Tealk  (Doorbell.wav)

Q`og says:  
CO: Captain , Her mother has this lass as a daughter when I met her, to her it meant that she was not as desirable to those of her own kind, which is why I could woo and win her

XO_Vraylle says:  
*CO*: Acknowledged.

CMO_Varr says:  
TL: Sickbay

XO_Vraylle says:  
CMO: Doctor, it seems you will meet your captain sooner than expected.

Dukar says:  
@::moves to next district::

K`ai says:  
CO:  Ask him if he liked my mother' red hair?  and ask him  about how he wanted me to dress or lack there of when he wanted his meals?

Q`og says:  
CO: I made a promise to her mother that I would raise her as if she was a Vulcan born. her mother died soon after, I have tried to keep my promise.

CMO_Varr says:  
*XO*: Where shall I meet him?

XO_Vraylle says:  
*CMO*: Conference room 3A.

Dukar says:  
@::continues unobserved::

CO_Vn`dor says:  
Door:  Come!

CMO_Varr says:  
::reaches into the top pocket on his bag, pulling a medical tricorder from it:: *XO*: Aye sir.

Thatl says:  
CSO: How are we prepared for the Cardassia mission?

CTO_Tealk says:  
::opens the door and enters..::

XO_Vraylle says:  
CEO: You stated that we have a maximum warp of 9.5. The specifications are for 9.6, and I expect no less than 9.65.

Wonik says:  
@::Arrives in next district, Denser population, begins collection..::

CTO_Tealk says:  
::smiles at the little girl:: K'ai : So this cat is yours?

XO_Vraylle says:  
*CO*: Doctor Varr is on his way.

Dukar says:  
@::notices smaller population, collects and analyses data::

CO_Vn`dor says:  
::sighs::  Q`og:  Q`og, no I don't.  K'ai:  What is it you would like?  Have you tried to discuss it with your father?  ::points at Q'og::

CEO_Wilkens says:  
::Takes in a deep breath, gives the XO a small nod.:: XO: Aye, sir. Am I to assume this should be the primary focus of my department?

CO_Vn`dor says:  
*XO*:  Thank you Commander.  Have him come right in when he arrives.

OPS_Turner says:  
::decides to not leave to accompany CTO's people to consult CEO about conducting shipwide diagnostics::

CTO_Tealk says:

K`ai says:

CTO_Tealk says:  
::gives it to the girl::

K`ai says:  
:: eyes brighten and takes the cat::  CTO:  yes !  :: mumbles:: did they hurt you... :: looks to the captain::

Dukar says:  
@::proceeds to meeting point::

CMO_Varr says:  
::ducks out of the TL as the doors slide open, Varr turns to the left and begins moving down the corridor quickly towards the conference room::

CSO_Larek says:  
Thatl: we need to study OPS report from the last mission there.

XO_Vraylle says:  
CEO: No, your primary focus is for all systems to be within acceptable tolerances by the time we reach Cardassia. The warp efficiency is secondary.

CTO_Tealk says:  
K'ai : Now why would we do that?

Dukar says:  
@::waiting for Wonik, he compares and analyses the data from each district noticing the difference in population::

OPS_Turner says:  
CEO: I know your busy sir but I'd like to have some of your team conduct a level 3 diagnostic of the internal sensors.

CO_Vn`dor says:  
::smiles at the girls reaction::  Q'og:  Perhaps if you bent your wishes to match that of hers a little more she would happily stay with you

CEO_Wilkens says:  
XO: Understood, sir. I will see that you get no less than warp 9.65. I will also see that you get the report on Engineering's status ASAP.

Jol_Alien says:  
::The embryo seeks out the EMF as before, feeling safe and secure, the embryo enters into another rest cycle::

CEO_Wilkens says:  
::Nods respectfully to Vraylle.::

Thatl says:  
CEO: Sir, I already did a diagnostic, found some failed sensors, and filed a report...

Q`og says:  
CO: I can but try, but I have much to learn I am afraid on how to handle a child, could one of your crew suggest an aide that might help us get along better… maybe act as a referee?

Dukar says:  
@::runs simulations for predicted outcome::

XO_Vraylle says:  
CTO: Mr. Tealk, it disturbs me that we have had uninvited passengers. Please correct the security automations that allowed it.

CO_Vn`dor says:  
CMO: Yes!?  You must be the new CMO....  Welcome.  Please tend to the girl and make sure she is healthy please.

CEO_Wilkens says:  
CSO: Understood, thank you.

CTO_Tealk says:  
::smiles at the little girl, trying to gain her confidence:: K'ai : We only wanted to prevent you from hurting yourself. There are a lot of dangerous things aboard a starship.

Wonik says:  
@::Finishes data download, catalogs and moves to last location on map::

XO_Vraylle says:  
CSO: And Mr. Larek, what is the status of our sensor systems?

K`ai says:  
:: stamps her foor:  NO!!  I am not going with him, He wants a slave and something else.  He is not my father.  He is a profitless, fatherless assetless  Ferengi!

CSO_Larek says:  
XO: sensors normal.

CMO_Varr says:  
::sets his bag down near a corner and, opening his tricorder begins scanning the dirty child:: CO: Yes sir.

CTO_Tealk says:  
::frowns:: *XO* : Already on it sir.. Should have a report by the end of the day.

XO_Vraylle says:  
*CTO*: I will be awaiting it.

CTO_Tealk says:  
::feels strange calling Vraylle sir, but.. doesn’t want to be any more than the others..::

CO_Vn`dor says:  
Q'og:  Well...  ::smiles:: We have several people on board ship that can assist the two of you in your family relationships if you are both interested?  ::looks from K'ai to Q'og and back::

Q`og says:  
K`ai: you know you speak untruth, how else could I fly in search of you? No assets, indeed

K`ai says:  
CO:  He wants me to go clothes-less! ::: yanks to get the captain's attention::

XO_Vraylle says:  
CSO: What scanner algorithms do you have on file?

Q`og says:  
CO: Oh Yes, Please

K`ai says:  
:: kicks Q’og hard in the shin::

CTO_Tealk says:  
::gives a stern look at the Ferengi::

CEO_Wilkens says:  
CSO: I'll see what I can do. My teams are spread pretty thinly right now. ::Pauses for as moment.:: Would it be satisfactory for me to place my reserve shift at your disposal?

CO_Vn`dor says:  
::kneels before the girl::  K'ai:  Are you sure you are telling the complete truth in this matter?  CMO:  Compare their DNA.  ::smiles back at K'ai::

Thatl says:

CTO_Tealk says:  
::pulls the girl closer to him, away from Q'og::

CSO_Larek says:  
XO: we have the latest versions from Starfleet. Just loaded during refit.

K`ai says:  
CO:  I wouldn't lie.  My shima told me not to lie to SF. :: reaches up and hugs the CO::

XO_Vraylle says:  
Thatl: That should be reported to your chief.

CTO_Tealk says:  
::lets go of the girl::

Q`og says:  
CO: Of Course our genes are unrelated, I adopted her after her mom and I were wed

Dukar says:  
@::wonders what is keeping Wonik::

CMO_Varr says:  
::runs the scan completely, frowns, runs diagnostic and scans her again, getting the same result::

XO_Vraylle says:  
::nods to the CSO:: CSO: And what of your own?

Thatl says:  
XO: That was reported to my chief and to the CEO.  Its seems to be of vital interest of the moment so I brought it up to you as well.

Wonik says:  
@::Gets to last location, starts collection::

CEO_Wilkens says:  
CSO: If that's satisfactory, I'll make the necessary arrangements as soon as possible.

CO_Vn`dor says:  
::realises how dumb that order to the CMO was::  Q`og:  Yes, how convenient.  ::grimaces::  Sorry, Q'og.  Do you have any substantial proof of this marriage other than your documents there.  ::points::

K`ai says:  
:: Isa  purrs and intertwines herself in Tealks legs::

XO_Vraylle says:  
::raises an eyebrow to the officer:: Thatl: And your chief will report it to me if he deems it necessary. You DID study chain-of-command at the Academy, did you not?

CSO_Larek says:  
CEO: Thank You

CTO_Tealk says:  
K'ai : Shima.. That means mother, does it not?

CMO_Varr says:  
CO: Sir, if I may. ::looks meaningfully at the Ferengi::

Q`og says:  
CO: Those documents are all anyone ever has, the documents from the station in which the ceremonies and such were done

CTO_Tealk says:  
::goes over to the CO and whispers something::

CEO_Wilkens says:  
::Nods to the CSO, goes back to studying his PADD.::

Thatl says:  
XO: Yes sir, and I the Lt. deemed it worthy to pass it to you after providing it to my "Chief" the Ensign.  Sir.

K`ai says:  
:: turns to Tealk::  uhhuh...

CO_Vn`dor says:  
CTO/CMO:  What do you think of all this?

K`ai says:  
All:  please don't make me go! ::starts to cry::

CTO_Tealk says:  
::takes the child's hand and addresses the captain::

OPS_Turner says:  
::Still bothered by the uninvited guest runs more diagnostics::

CSO_Larek says:  
XO: I was waiting for an opportunity to give you the information.

CTO_Tealk says: 
CO : Sir.. She is not Ferengi. Keeping her in Ferengi culture would be damaging to her.

CO_Vn`dor says:  
::puts an arm around K'ai::  K'ai:  Hush now, everything will be fine.

XO_Vraylle says:  
::starting to get genuinely annoyed:: CSO: Then you should give it to me directly. The chain exists for a reason.

Wonik says:  
@Done with all his collecting, returning to meeting place for Dukar::

K`ai says:  
:: latches arms around the captains neck, still crying::

Dukar says:  
@::locates a camouflaged position::

CTO_Tealk says:  
CO : Besides.. IF she does not want to go with him...

CMO_Varr says:  
CO: Sir, I am simply concerned for her welfare.  Besides her slovenly condition, which could be most readily cared for by a good scrubbing, the only thing that seems to be wrong with her is a small object of unknown design implanted deeply within her.  I do not hold faith in the Ferengi's ability to care for this, whatever it may require...

CTO_Tealk says:  
Q'og : How long has she been away from you?

Dukar says:  
@::continues to run simulations and analyse data::

Wonik says:  
@::Sniffs the air, smells like it may rain soon::

Q`og says:  
CTO: You would take a child away from it parent? Are you not a Federation of laws?

CO_Vn`dor says:  
Q'og:  Do you really love this child, or would you be willing to allow her adoption?

CMO_Varr says:  
CO: ... and so must I concur with the CTO.

Q`og says:  
CTO: I have been searching for her for weeks

XO_Vraylle says:  
::takes the information from the SO:: Thatl: So you were simply following your chief's orders?

CTO_Tealk says:  
Q'og : There are such things as human rights. But it’s usually contrary to profit. ::sarcastically::

CO_Vn`dor says:  
Q'og:  she doesn't seem to like you.  Most children do not generally hate their parents as much as she seems to.

Q`og says:  
CO: ::frowns:: If there was someone I knew who could do a better job than I can , and if were for her best interests..... I would

CMO_Varr says:  
CO: I would like to take her to sickbay where more about the object may be determined.

Q`og says:  
CO: I have read that it can be the case when it is a step parent and the parent has died.

K`ai says:  
CO:  please don't make me go... ::  continues to cry, and repeating it over and over again::

CO_Vn`dor says:  
K'ai:  K'ai, is there anyone that you know or have met that you would rather stay with?

Thatl says:  
XO: I was trying to answer your question, since I was the one with the information.  I was attempting to provide it to all  parties.  The fact that all parties were present together perhaps made things awkward.

CTO_Tealk says:  
CO : Sir.. I volunteer to take care of her until we can find a suitable home for her.

Wonik says:  
@::Arrives at meeting point, looks for Dukar::

Q`og says:  
CO: Have you a couple in mind though?

CO_Vn`dor says:  
::caresses the girls hair::

CTO_Tealk says:  
::looks at the little girl, and winks::

Dukar says:  
@::notes the presence of Wonik, waits for him to notice his location::

CTO:  Thank you Commander... we'll see.

Q`og says:  
CMO: Is it similar to the object I have here? ::points ::

CSO_Larek says:  
XO: Lt. thatl was following my orders.

CTO_Tealk says:  
::smiles::

XO_Vraylle says:  
::looks at the SO:: Thatl: I see. You will find that I am keen on proper channels. The next time your chief suggests you bypass them, remind him.

K`ai says:  
All:  I really want my real father he is in Starfleet I want him mostly. ::  starting to cry again::

Wonik says:  
@::See's Dukar, makes his way in that direction::

CTO_Tealk says:  
CO : Sir.. i think with her medical data it should not be hard to locate her real father in SF databases..

CO_Vn`dor says:  
K'ai: consider it done.  ::smiling at her::  Q'og:  We'll take her for you.  Do you require monetary reimbursement?

XO_Vraylle says:  
CSO: I am still awaiting your answer. What sensor algorithms of your own have you implemented here?

Thatl says:  
::Stifling what could easily be considered an improper response to the XO::

Dukar says:  
@::holds out his hand for the data::

K`ai says:  
:: nearly choking the CO hugging him::

Q`og says:  
CO: No, Just the keys back to my house, it is a chip implant ....and a letter from time to time telling me of her progress

XO_Vraylle says:  
Thatl: Dismissed.

Wonik says:  
@::Meets with Dukar, hands over his data crystal::

CO_Vn`dor says:

CMO_Varr says:  
::scans the Ferengi where he pointed:: Q'og: Yes, very much like it, I would think, but I can not be sure without further study.

CTO_Tealk says:  
::nods:: CO : Aye sir..

Dukar says:  
@::gestures for Wonik to sit down, combines their data and analyses it::

CSO_Larek says:  
XO: None do you have something in mind?

CTO_Tealk says:  
CMO: Care to help me search doctor?

CO_Vn`dor says:  
Q'og:  Consider it done then.

Wonik says: 
 @::Looks around, sits on a large rock::

CEO_Wilkens says:  
::Sees that his bridge duty is nearly over.::

Dukar says:  
@::smiles at the appearing results::

K`ai says:  
:: crying so much is getting sleepy, and sniffing, has thoroughly drench the CO's jacket::

Q`og says:  
CO: Not many know of this but a chip is embedded inside the body of every Ferengi heir, it gives them the positive ID we require.

CMO_Varr says:  
::nods at the CTO:: CTO: Of course.

Dukar says:  
@::shows Wonik::

XO_Vraylle says:  
CSO: Nothing specific, but every system should have several. The regular Starfleet updates frequently lack several of the more common and simple algorithms. This is one area in which indulging your creativity will prove helpful.
