USS Sharikahr NCC-81204 – 
Stardate 10601.05

“Armageddon Part V: What Comes Up, Must Come Down”

When things did not seem to be able to get any worse the crew of the valiant USS Sharikahr find themselves in yet another sticky situation. Captain Hurst of the USS Mayan had informed the Sharikahr that they were to meet another vessel at the half-way point before they were to reach Starbase 8 and speak with Rear Admiral Davis-Patterson.

With the Captain in her Ready Room, seemingly having falling asleep, Lieutenant Commander Cartwright took command of the Bridge. Both vessels reached the half-way point where the USS Nitro, commanded by Captain Pam Sherilda, commed the Sharikahr.

After requesting to speak to Captain Horn, Captain Sherilda became frustrated and decided to just deal with Commander Cartwright. During all of this, one of the annoying bugs was sited in Main Engineering. Eventually, one of these bugs entered a console and caused it to explode!

Captain Sherilda informed the Sharikahr that they were to be boarded by a team of Starfleet Intelligence Agents. Counselor Rodos was sent to meet the team of Starfleet Intelligence Agents. Once they all transported over, they began to walk freely amongst the ship except for three officers whom followed the Counselor.

Once on the Bridge, Commander Krest, the Commanding Officer of the team, informed Commander Cartwright that she would be relieved of command and he would take charge. He ordered Lieutenant Rochelle to take all of the Senior Staff into the Observation Lounge, where they would remain for the remainder of their journey.

During this time the Lieutenant J.G. Arinoch was brought out of stasis, where he joined the team, sick as a dog. The Captain stepped onto the Bridge from her Ready Room, it seemed all communication was down within her office. Captain Horn demanded a response from Krest but he seemed to ignore whatever she had to say.

The Captain was brought into the Observation Lounge and the crew began their discussions there. After a long discussion a strange woman entered the Observation Lounge.

The young woman, a Lieutenant Rynia Solaa, had been transferred to the Sharikahr as her Executive Officer! After this burst of news, Captain Horn also announced that Lieutenant J.G. Rodos would take on the additional responsibilities as Second Officer and Chief Engineer!

After this bit of news the crew attempted to formulate a plan to get Donavin back into stasis. Captain Horn suddenly came up with an idea: she took the Chief Tactical Officer's half pip and placed it on the Tactical Officer's collar. With this, Commander Krest allowed the 'Tactical Officer' to be sent to Sickbay and be placed back into stasis.

Now this is where we return... to the Observation Lounge where the Senior Staff await their arrival to Starbase 8. Who knows what could await them. Would they even reach the Starbase? Were these really Intelligence Agents?

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::in the observation lounge with the rest of her crewmates::

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
::sitting in the center seat on the Sharikahr's Bridge with a smile on his face:: Self: Almost there.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::in the observation lounge, now in a fresh uniform, working on accessing the computer systems through an access panel::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::sitting before a small waterfall in the arboretum, her eyes closed, her mind focused inward, her spirit guide having joined her keeping her keeping her company in the silence of nature.::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::sitting at the head of the table:: All: Time to get to work, if you need assistance in your assignment, ask.

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
::assisting the CEO by reading the code coming from his workings in the access panel::

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
::taps her combadge:: *Rochelle*: Krest to Rochelle. I want to see you on the Bridge.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::strays a hand to his phaser and watches the door::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::now back in uniform, thinks of ways to get out::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: From what I can sense and gather, we are being isolated because we know about Armageddon and who the players are.  It is my guess that we are to be kept here so we can be debriefed by SFI before anyone else can speak to us or possibly kill all of us for the knowledge we do possess.

OPS Wols says:
Krest: Sir, we will reach the station in seven minutes.

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
OPS: Understood, Ensign. When we are three minutes from the station let me know.

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CEO: I'm not seeing anything different, Falor...

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
XO: I'm gonna try and access the external sensors, see if we can find out where we are and where we're going...

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CIV: Our knowledge is not an excuse for why Krest nearly killed Donavin.  Krest is an idiot who doesn't understand how to truly follow orders without putting lives at stake for useless reasons.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: Blast.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::exits the Observation Lounge and enters the bridge::

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
::He taps his foot waiting:: CIV: It took you long enough, Lieutenant.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::walks up to Krest::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::glances briefly toward the CEO, raising an eyebrow:: CEO: Lieutenant, if I may, I suggest we disable the weapons systems if you can... in case we're not heading where we're supposed to be.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Krest: My apologies sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::nods to the CO then moves closer to her and whispers.:: CO: Captain...

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::has an idea:: CEO: Is there a Jeffries tube access to the VIP quarters?

MO_Shannon says:
::with a sigh of frustration, turns to the comm unit:::  *CEO*:  Sir... please, when will we have computers up running?

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
CIV: Once we reach Starbase 8 I have new orders for you from Starfleet Command. ::he looks at her with an evil smile::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::narrows her eyes:: Krest:  You have new orders for me???  From Starfleet Command or SFI????

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
*MO*: Ensign, contact engineering if you'd like something repaired, I'm rather occupied right now.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
TO: Ensign, how are you doing on the orders I gave you?

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
CIV: There are one in the same now that this war is going on. ::he glares at her. He picks up a PADD and hands it to her::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CNS: There won't be a Jeffries tube directly into the quarters, but there should be one nearby in the corridor…

MO_Shannon says:
*CEO*:  But I have... never mind.  ::closes the comm in annoyance.::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CNS: There are Jefferies tube accesses on the deck.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::glares back at him and takes the PADD::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CO: Captain, I think we might have an ally in all of this that we aren't considering.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Krest: When did they officially declare war?

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CNS: But we don't know if they are watching the entrances.

OPS Wols says:
Krest: Commander, we are now three minutes from Starbase 8.

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CNS: I would suspect that they are... ::frowns::

MO_Shannon says:
*Engineering*:  I have a stupid question for you... if medical is always on backup, how come the computers are still down?

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
CIV: That is not important, Lieutenant. Now move aside. ::he looks towards OPS:: OPS: Ensign, shut down all power except for power in Main Engineering and the Bridge. Life support should remain online as well. Other then that, I want it black around the ship.

OPS Wols says:
::he raises an eyebrow at the request but follows the order::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
XO: We have a passenger in those quarters that might be of help if we can get to her.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Krest: How are you going to justify this by telling me that it is not important?  This is way too important to be ignored even by me.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::continues trying to access navigational systems through the access panel::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::steps closer to the CO, just in case, but keeps an eye on the door anyway:: CO: I'm hoping disabling the weapons systems will be a start, if Lieutenant Rodos can manage to do so. Worst case, these people are working for whoever's behind this war.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Not until we know where we are going.

ACTION: The USS Sharikahr's power begins to go down. The entire ship becomes completely dark. The only sound that can be heard comes from the nacelles, a crackling noise.

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CNS: Umm... I have no idea what deck the VIP's are on... like, umm... 2 or 3... If we could ask the computer who is stationed on those decks...

CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: If we will be at the Starbase soon, I don't want to endanger any lives.  Right now, we need to find out our heading and...::stops as the lights go out::

MO_Shannon says:
::growls:: *Engineering*:  That is not funny.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::smacks his hand on the wall:: Aloud:: Dammit! So much for accessing anything…

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Self: What did that idiot do now? ::fumes at Krest::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
All: What the hell!

CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~*CIV*: Rochelle, what happened?~~~

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
OPS: Have the Observation Lounge locked until further notice.

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CNS: Agreed, Millie... ::looks around at the darkness around her::

OPS Wols says:
::makes sure the Observation Lounge is locked down::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: I am being replaced once we get to Starbase 8 and that is our true destination.~~~

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::places some mental thoughts into the CMO for when he regains consciousness to not act like a senior officer but a subordinate of the ship because something odd is going on.::

MO_Shannon says:
::turns around quickly and heads for the CTO's bed::  Self: Damn and double damn...

CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Okay people, we can't do anything until emergency power comes online. Find your way to the table and sit down. Hold on, just in case something else goes wrong.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::hears the click of the locks on all entrances and exits in the Observation Lounge::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: Captain... would it be feasible to just, overtake the guards at the door and stakeout in the armory?

CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~CIV: I meant about ship's power. It's pitch black in here.~~~

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::gropes her way toward the CEO's voice::

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
::he watches as Starbase 8 comes on the view screen:: *ALL*: Attention valiant crew of the Sharikahr, we are preparing to dock with Starbase 8 in a matter of moments. Please disregard the lack of power, it is not needed at the moment.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
XO: I'm finding out if the entire ship...::hears Krest:: The idiot...he just dropped stasis fields in sickbay for nothing.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::attempts to make his way to a chair, hands outstretched trying to find something to grab on to::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::resists the urge to draw his phaser, and works his way back to his seat:: CO: Captain, if I have to guess he's being paranoid. If he doesn't have control of it, it's been disabled.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
*Krest*: Commander, dropping ship's power means you just took desperately ill personnel out of stasis.  Sickbay needs power.

OPS Wols says:
Krest: Sir, we have clearance to dock.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::bumps into the CEO, knocking him down::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: There is nothing that can be done about the power.  It was ordered by Krest for the ship to be black and we are definitely at war so that is all the info I have now.~~~

MO_Shannon says:
*Engineering*:  I promise... If I loose my patient, I am going to loose my patience and you will be my next patients!

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::raises her eyebrow in the dark then speaks out loud.:: Krest: Yeah, right, unless you want to screw the ship up of course!

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~CO: We are now beginning to dock with the station.~~~

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::falls to the ground and lands on his rear:: Self: This is quite annoying…

CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~CIV: If one patient in sickbay dies from lack of life support or stasis, I expect to receive a full report from you whether you are any longer under my command or not.  Is that clear, Lieutenant?~~~

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
ALL: Okay okay! People. Everyone, just... don't move, and we'll have to wait until the Captain gives us orders and the lights come on, or whichever comes first.

ACTION: The Norway Class USS Sharikahr begins to rock as docking procedures begin. A few loud scrapes can be heard followed by a bit of shaking before coming to a complete stop.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CEO: Sorry

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Millie, are you okay?

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: Life support is still on and the stasis tubes still being maintained as of now.~~~~

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::makes his way back up:: CNS: It's okay Millie, I'm fine.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: How's Victory?

MO_Shannon says:
::works like fury dealing with the CTO's unstable biosigns::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~CIV: It better be.~~~

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Yells.:: Krest: What the Hell are you doing?  You’re tearing this ship apart more!

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
CIV: Lieutenant, you are now excused from your duties. ::he stands:: OPS: Return emergency power to the ship but lock out all controls except for those on the Bridge.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CO: Fine on both counts, sir. I just tried to take out the CEO though. ::laughs::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::blinks:: All: That was no docking procedure I've ever felt...

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::smiles:: CNS: You almost did.. ::rubs his forehead::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CEO: Falor, just call it practice for anything she may say or do while in labor. ::grins into the dark::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Krest: And what about the stasis tube in sickbay?

ACTION: Operations Officer Wols returns emergency power to the ship. Dim lighting fills the ship.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::fuming at these idiots who have taken over the Sharikahr::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::looks up as the lights come on slightly::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::his eyes adjust to the dim lighting and he sees the CNS standing next to him:: CNS: Are you okay?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Looks very very mad.::

Host Cmdr_Krest says:
CIV: It will be fine, Lieutenant. I will not give my orders again. ::turns toward OPS:: OPS: Station Security should be arriving in a moment.

MO_Shannon says:
::steps back as the hum of the stasis warns her it is working and back online. Growls, but is so glad it is back, leaves engineering alone for the nonce::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::gets a random thought with all this stuff going on::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CEO: I'm fine ::smiles and squeezes his hand::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
Self: Okay, this is getting us nowhere... ALL: OKAY! Who is closest to the door? ::raises her voice above the mayhem::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::gets an idea:: CO: Captain, we may be able to come up with an old fashion override of the security systems. ::draws his phaser::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::leans forward:: All: Everybody sit down like you were ordered!  Okay, we are going to have to play this by ear for the next little while.  My orders, for now, stand.  Don't cause any problems that will give Krest reason to be a bigger idiot.  If you are taken to the Starbase, do your best to stay together.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sits down in the nearest chair::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
ALL: I asked the room a question!!!

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::stops and takes a deep breath:: CO: Captain, I just had a thought, these actions and orders that have occurred are not exactly how the Starfleet Orders come usually.  There is something out of place here, albeit that the seeming standards are potentially normal.  I wonder if we somehow didn't get thrown into an alternate universe or dimension when all that stuff occurred at Har-Magged.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Krest: I will look for myself if you don't mind.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
XO: Lieutenant, and I gave you an order.  Sit down!

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::turns and walks towards the TL::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::sits down next to the CEO::

ACTION: Security and Engineering Personnel begin to materialize throughout the Sharikahr.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: I am going to look in on the stasis tube myself before I get booted off the ship.~~~

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::is, thankfully, already seated::

Security Officer says:
::stops the CIV in her tracks:: CIV: Lieutenant, you are to come with us.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Listen, I know there are more questions than we have answers.  Right now, you are to ask questions...get answers.  Don't provoke, don't push, don't give them reason to throw you in the Brig or out an airlock. We are at war. Any questions?

CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~CIV: Let me know.~~~

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: Will do.~~~

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::shakes loose:: Security: Just who the hell are you, and why are you stopping me from my job?

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CO: No questions, ma'am.

Security Officer says:
CIV: You have your orders, Lieutenant. Now follow them or you will be removed.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::sitting as ordered:: CO: None here, Captain.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: I may have a problem here. I have been stopped.~~~~

TO_Ens_Mills says:
CO: Just one, Captain. Have we given any thought to an alternative timeline?

CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~CIV: Do what you feel is necessary.  I have a friend in SFI who will help with any repercussions.~~~

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Security: Yes I do have my orders but before I leave I am going to Sickbay to check up on a stasis tube before I leave this ship.

ACTION: Five Security Officers materialize in the Observation Lounge, phaser rifles in hand.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::looks around at the security officers:: Self: What the hell…

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looks to the TO.:: TO: Ensign, you've got the same feeling I've got!

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CO: Ensign, right now, I just want to get Krest off my ship.  We'll deal with what may have happened when we left that planet later. ::looks up::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: Captain, we have company... Even though I can't see them very well...

Security Officer says:
CIV: They are fine, Lieutenant. I assure you. Now do what you’re told, that is the last time I will request it.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::smiles happy that someone else "gets it” to::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Security: I want to see for myself.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@ ::looks up as the call comes through and sighs:: Wolf: I still cannot shrug off the sense that this is not right. But our paths have been set for now. ::stands up and dusts herself off, straightening the uniform she had donned earlier::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Security: If you are here to kill us, then do so.  If not, take me to Admiral Davis-Patterson.

Lt. Dawson says:
::she looks around:: All: Please, be calm. I am sorry that you are all going through this.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::squeezes the CEO's hand::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::squeezes back::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::thinks to himself:: Self: Sorry my eye.

Security Officer says:
::touches the CIV's arm:: CIV: You have five seconds to respond or you will be transported to the Brig.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
Dawson: Can you please tell us why we are?

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Dawson: You want to tell me what's really going on here Lieutenant?  Commander Krest has done nothing but place some of my crew in severe danger since he arrived.

Lt. Dawson says:
All: I am Jamie Dawson, Deputy Chief of Security for Starbase 8. I am here to take you all to a conference room aboard the Starbase where all will be explained.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Security: Okay, I will go but I must warn you if my friend in that stasis tube dies because of Krest's actions and yours, I will have all of you up on charges of murder and attempted murder.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::raises a hand to silence any questions her crew may have until she finishes with Dawson::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::just sits, and watches, completely out of his depth but trying not to look it::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Dawson: When will I see the Admiral?  I must speak with her before Krest goes anywhere else.

Security Officer says:
CIV: I do not like your attitude, Lieutenant. ::He taps his commbadge:: *SB_OPS*: Security to Operations. Transport Lieutenant Rochelle here, to the Brig.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: Sir, I have no choice but to go but I have also told the security officers that if I find out that our TO has died I will have all of them up on charges of murder and attempted murder.~~~

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Security: What you are about to do is not going to do you any good.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~CIV: Send me your report, I'll take care of the charges.  When you get home, look up my record...we had much in common.~~~

ACTION: The CIV is transported to the Brig.

Lt. Dawson says:
CO: The Admiral will speak with you once you are in the conference room, I assure you.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: I will, and good luck, sir.~~~~

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Dawson: She's better or this Starbase will have bitten off more than it can chew, I assure YOU. ::turns back to her staff::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@ ::heads for the Conference Lounge.::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::can't help but wonder why the Sharikahr crew are being treated like prisoners of war::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
Dawson: That's good... Slave driver Krest sounds like bad toothpaste and the way he's carrying on... we all have bones to pick with him.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
ALL: Let's go.  XO: Lieutenant, stay with me. ::nods to the XO:: CEO: Falor, take care of your wife.

MO_Shannon says:
::sits down with a sigh as everything settles for now::

Lt. Dawson says:
XO: Slave driver? He was here only to bring you in safely...

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I'm right behind you, ma'am.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::stands up, holding the CNS's hand::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::gets up and prepares to go::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
Dawson: Get the Cliffs Notes version from the crew. ::walks out of the lounge with the CO::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: I can't believe that they put me in the Brig.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Dawson: Unless bringing us in safely now includes attempted murder, he didn't follow his orders.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::steps off the turbolift and turns to the left for the assigned conference room.  Pauses at the door briefly, looking around before entering::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::puts his arm around the CNS's waist and leaves the Observation Lounge with her::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::follows the CO and XO::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: I am going to have to contact Admiral Romano and talk to her about Krest and his treatment of me and the crew and the way he nearly killed the TO.

Lt. Dawson says:
::she nods:: All: I am sorry for your troubles. Let’s get to the Conference Room quickly. Are you all prepared for transport?

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Dawson: After you, Lieutenant.  We transporting from here or from our transporter room?

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::steps in just behind the others, and waits::

Lt. Dawson says:
CO: Here will be fine, Captain. I believe you've all gone through enough.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: Cmdr. Jackson is going to have kittens when he finds out that I was thrown in the Brig.  ::smiles::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::whispers:: CNS: She can say that again..

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Dawson: Bring us in???????

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::whispers:: CEO: No kidding

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::hopes Donavin's at least doing better... he's gonna lose it when he hears about this::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::turns back to her crew:: ALL: Enough.  Be silent unless you are spoken too.  There's been enough junk, I won't have stress and attitudes cause more problems.  We've done nothing wrong... yet.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::thinks that somehow they are prisoners.::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@ ::the hum of the station is the only thing that breaks the silence of the empty room as she steps over toward the large viewing window::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Dawson: Whenever you are ready, Lieutenant.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::just nods to the Captain, saying nothing yet... but thinking more than enough to make up for it::

Lt. Dawson says:
*SB_OPS*: Dawson to Operations. Henry, transport myself and all of the officers around me to Conference Room D-5.

ACTION: The Senior Staff are transported from the Sharikahr to the almost empty Conference Room. There is one lone Lieutenant in a teal uniform standing near the window.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::turns at the slight wine of the transport to view a group of officers beaming in::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::feels the transport complete and looks around:: All: Take a seat.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Dawson: What's the chances of getting at least something to drink?

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::sits down, starting to feel very tired::

Lt. Dawson says:
::she motions for her men to exit:: CO: The replicator is all yours.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sits down next to the CNS, comforting her::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: Phew! It's about time we got some light on the situation... no pun intended. ::smiles and takes her seat near the head of the table::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::blinks, just a little tiny bit suspicious, and finds a seat::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::slightly in the shadows, she simply watches and listens..::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
XO/FCO: You two get everyone settled, please.  It's been hours since anyone has had food or drink.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::tiredly:: CEO: Could you get me an orange juice, Falor

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::senses the other presence in the room and sees a new face::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::smiles:: CNS: Sure. ::stands up and walks over to the replicator, ordering an orange juice and a glass of deka tea and brings it back to the CNS::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::his eyes find the unfamiliar lieutenant, not that their new XO is anything too familiar, and just... watches her with one eye::

Lt. Dawson says:
CO: The Admiral will be here in a moment. ::she waits at the door::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
XO: I'll take the orders if you want to get everyone seated.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::steps over to her:: CSO: Please forgive me if I sound harsh, but who are you and why are you here?  Are you a member of the Admiral's staff?

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::sips her orange juice as she smiles gratefully at the CEO::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::speaks softly as not to be heard by anyone else:: CNS: How are you feeling? Really?

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::begins to pace back and forth in the Brig::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::acknowledging the TO, she turns to face the woman wearing captain’s pips.::  CO: I was ordered here, ma'am.  As for the admiral... she should be here shortly to answer many of your questions.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::goes to the CNS.:: CNS: What'll you have?

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::reaches the Conference Room and enters after a slight pause. She looks around, noting that the crew seems to be rather disoriented and confused::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: Do you know why?  Has something happened that my crew needs to be checked by someone with Science knowledge?

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::raises her glass:: FCO: Already got it. All praise to attentive husbands.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: I have no answers for you, ma'am. ::turns toward the admiral and nods::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Smiles.:: CEO: Anything for you, Falor?

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::stands near the door as she observes the crew for a moment. They have changed a great deal since her assignment there::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::sighs:: CSO: Forgive me, Lieutenant.  We've just spent a few hours locked away in a room and nobody would tell us why.  Considering our recent mission, we're all a little testy.  Would you like to have a seat?

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::sizes up the woman speaking with Sarah, just in case... this can't get much more interesting::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::smiles at Amber:: FCO: I'm fine with my tea, thanks..

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CEO/CNS: Alright, but you two should eat something soon.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: Good day everyone. ::she moves for the head of the table::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::sees the RADM stands and salutes::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Understandable. And thank you... If you do not mind, I prefer to stand.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::turns back to the table and moves to the end opposite the Admiral::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::puts his tea down and stands up at attention as the RADM enters::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
::looks towards the Admiral::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: At ease. ::she takes her seat::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::continues to the CO:: CO: Captain, would you like anything?

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::retakes her seat::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::stands, and half-salutes, then sits down::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sits back down and sips his tea::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Raktajino please, Commander.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
Self: It feels like its been forever since I had one of these…

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::she crosses her legs as she waits for everyone to settle::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Anything to eat Captain, it has been hours?::Glances to the ADM and looks for a moment remembering another time::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
Admiral: Ma'am, can you please tell us what is happening? The Commander you sent to bring us in nearly killed my CTO for reasons, I'd like to know.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::crossing her arms, she leans back against the cool wall, given the appearance of being relaxed.::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Not right now, perhaps after I hear some answers.  Thank you. ::forces a smile::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::goes back to sizing up this new lieutenant, inwardly hoping she tries something... just once::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::puts her hand on the Captains shoulder as she has done countless times to reassure her then moves onto the CSO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CSO: Your order?

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::looks over Captain Horn curiously:: CO: Killed your Chief Tactical Officer? Commander Krest was assigned to the Sharikahr to ensure that you were indeed the crew of the USS Sharikahr. He was to observe you until you reached the Starbase.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::lifts a brow at the FCO and nods to the Admiral who is speaking.::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::focuses her attention on the RADM anxious for answers::

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::thinking as she paces back and forth::

ACTION: Outside of the large window the Sharikahr can be seen, beaten and battered. At that very moment all power seems to be restored to the ship.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: He removed Lieutenant Arinoch from stasis. The act nearly killed him. We had to make some... ::glances at the TO:: alterations in the command structure temporarily in order to save his life.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sighs and sips his tea, wondering what the RADM has to say::

MO_Shannon says:
::finding herself in the Starbase medical bay, she patiently waits for them to finish downloading the Sharikahr’s database.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::shrugs as the CSO doesn't respond to her with anything and moves on::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
TO: Anything Mills?

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::she nods:: CO: Lieutenant Arinoch has been sent to our Sickbay where he will be treated at this time. The same goes for your Doctor Cartwright. ::she pauses:: All: I understand you have been through a great deal and I would like to apologize to you all; however, times like this require high levels of security.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::just shrugs, still watching the CSO, and only half listening to the goings on:: FCO: No thank you, Commander.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: Ma'am, right now, I think we all just want some answers and to be treated as Starfleet Officers rather than criminals.  Will that be possible or has something happened to prevent it?

MO_Shannon says:
::practically pounces on the wanted file as it comes onto the screen::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
::resists the urge to lean back in her chair::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::blinks tiredly::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::whispers to the TO:: TO: You will need to eat and drink soon, Jacob.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::curious to what had occurred on the ship, between the damage she can see out the window and what she is hearing::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: It was not my intention to treat your crew as criminals; I believe Commander Krest has surpassed his authority. ::she stands up:: All: I will be blunt for the sake of this briefing. ::she turns on the console display behind her which shows a map of the Alpha Quadrant::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
XO: Anything?

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::shrugs, whispering back to the FCO:: FCO: Right now, Commander... ::gestures towards the Admiral:: eating isn't high on my list. With all due respect, sir.

MO_Shannon says:
::back in her element, she works with one of the base technicians as they go through the CMO's notes and begin to gather the required materials::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
FCO: Oh, no thanks.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: The Federation is in a time of war. Whatever happened at the Har-Magedd colony seemed to have caused a horrific chain reaction throughout the Alpha Quadrant. Strange rifts have been opening in our space, allowing our enemies to enter our territory with great ease.

CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::continues to pace:: Self : Something here still stinks.  We got the Breen, Gorn, Borg, and Jem'Hadar and only God knows who else, here.  But what I want to know is who is against who.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::leans forward, resting her elbows on the table::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::watches closely, comparing it with the information she had researched earlier while waiting for the Sharikahr::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::shrugs to the TO and nods toward the Captain then goes to the replicator and orders the Captains Raktaijino and herself a chocolate milkshake::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::watches the CSO still, expression neutral... sitting here isn't solving anything::

MO_Shannon says:
::for all the stress she had gone through, the cure was relatively simple::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: The Romulans, Klingons, and Cardassians are all at Red Alert and we are attempting to work with them in order to stop these threats. The Borg, Gorn, Breen, and Dominion have entered our territory and are claiming certain areas of the Federation, battling amongst each other as well.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: The Gorn have moved toward Cardassian Space, the Breen toward Klingon space, and the Dominion and Borg have claimed the Federation as their new territory. ::presses a few buttons, showing the status of the 'enemies'::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::waits for the Admiral to finish, several questions forming in her mind::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::gives the CO her beverage and then moves to sit in a chair near the ADM and smiles as she passes her, almost mischievously, and looks at her shake before sitting down::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::notices his jaw hanging open at the state of the Alpha Quadrant and quickly closes it::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: Along with all of this, Admiral's Crenshaw and Harlan, along with a few others are now missing in action. I have been placed in charge of the battle front in this sector and we will do what we must to stop this invasion.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::nods a thank you to the FCO as she receives her drink::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::lets out a low whistle as he surveys the situation, now choosing to ignore the CSO... for now::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: The Sharikahr has been through a great deal. Starbase 8 personnel are aboard your ship as we speak, repairing and refitting the Sharikahr with more fire power. At the moment the Federation is on the offensive. Are there any questions thus far?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::still waiting to hear from a couple of sources concerning Harlan, she unobtrusively watches all the officers she is going to be serving with::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: Several, Admiral.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::Motions for the CO to continue::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::lets the higher-ups do the talking... he just wants a shift change::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: First, what information did you receive from Har Magedd to know that this all started when the changes there happened?  That may give us who where there ideas on how to stop this.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Several ships received reports of a strange energy reading from the colony. They were sent to the colony, where we gathered this all began.

MO_Shannon says:
::smiles as they finish with the formula and walks over to the bed holding the CTO in stasis.::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: I'd like to compare some of the readings our sickbay initially took of our Away Team and compare it with those, Admiral.  It may give us leads.  Second, how soon before we ship out again?  This crew has been through the ringer and could use 12 hours of solid sleep if we are to stop Armageddon.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::thinks to himself:: 12? I could go for 24…

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Your crew will be granted a week of shore leave until the Sharikahr is fully prepared with all of the required refits. You will receive your orders two days before your departure time.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: And you are free to compare our findings with yours, Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looks at the ADM:: ADM: A week Admiral, aren't we at war?

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
::thinks, "Oh gods... not more shoreleave...::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Do you expect to go into battle with a beaten up vessel, Commander?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::considers with a week, she could go home to Earth for a couple of days.::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::continues to listen, sweeping his gaze out over the room now, his expression remaining very, well... indifferent::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: I would like the chance for you and I to speak privately. ::sighs as she is interrupted by a member of her staff...again::  There are some options I would like you to consider.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: We need repairs Commander.  War or not, things take time.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
ADM: No Admiral, I just thought that we wouldn't be going on shore leave is all.  We'd be assigned to some other duties.

MO_Shannon says:
::turns off the stasis unit::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::inclines her head:: CO: Of course, Captain. All: For the time being you have all been assigned temporary Quarters aboard the station. You are free to use the facilities it has to offer.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Starting to get a smile on her face at the thought of shore leave.:: ADM: Any restrictions for that Leave as in travel Admiral?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::looks at the FCO and then back toward Patterson::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::wonders if this shore leave he'll actually get to finish that holonovel::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: No one may leave the station, Commander Haynes. Unless they wish to be attacked by a Borg Cube or a Jem'Hadar Warbird.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::glances around at her crew:: All: I will answer that as well.  You will remain on the base.  If that's a problem, then you can become a patient in the Starbase’s Sickbay for the duration of our stay here.

MO_Shannon says:
::begins the process of bringing the CTO back to his self, beginning with adding bases to neutralize the acidity his blood had started to become::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::thinks of how nice a honeymoon will be::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: Admiral, we have two sets of newlyweds.  I'd like permission for them to use holosuites during our stay.  Does the Starbase have that type of reserve power?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::frowns at having to remain on the base::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::her smile deflates a bit but then gets mischievous again:: ADM: No problem, Admiral, I'm sure Doc Cartwright and myself can do plenty of honeymooning in our quarters or the holosuites of the station.  ::grins and shows the ADM her ring::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
ADM: See what you miss when you’re not around, Prue?

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::wonders how his mom is doing on Earth::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: I will arrange their use with Operations, Captain. ::her eyes widen a bit as she looks over the ring:: FCO: My congratulations. ::she smiles slightly and then returns to her normal expression:: All: If that is all, you are dismissed.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::will discuss the issue with the Admiral::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::stands up:: RADM: Ma'am, I have a question… has Earth been under attack at all?

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: As of yet, no Lieutenant. However, we assume a full scale attack may occur.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
ADM: Permission to do something? ::stands::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
ALL: If anyone gets stir-crazy, locate me.  I'm sure we can help with the war effort while repairs take place on our ship?

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::lets out a sigh of relief and sits down::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: Before we depart... I have one introduction.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::sighs with relief at the thought that everyone she loves is safe::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::unobtrusively stands straighte.::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::she motions to the CSO:: All: Lieutenant So'tosh has been assigned to the Sharikahr as her Chief Science Officer. During a time like this I assumed her talents would be needed.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::waits for just one senior officer to leave... he should not be sitting at these meetings... sleep is becoming verry tempting::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::nods to the crew.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::waits for the ADM's permission::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: Dismissed. ::she stands:: CO: Captain, if you would meet me in my office at 0800 tomorrow morning?

CO_Captain_Horn says:
::stands and steps up to the CSO with a hand outstretched:: CSO: Welcome to the Sharikahr, Lieutenant.

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: I'll be there, Admiral.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::notes that the Admiral seems to be ignoring her::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
ADM: Admiral?  My request?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::looks at the hand for a moment and then extends her own::  CO:  Thank you, Captain. I hope you will not regret my joining.

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: Yeah, we're both newbies here... all thrown into this fiasco... ::smiles at the CSO::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::stands, and makes for the door a little too quickly to be even faking wanting to stick around longer::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: DRINK it, Commander.  Without spilling a drop. ::grins and turns back to the CSO::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Denied, Commander. ::smiles a bit::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO/XO: I'd like to meet with both of you.  Perhaps explain our situation and answer any questions you may have about the crew.  Would you be available tomorrow afternoon?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looks shocked:: ADM/CO: That is my husband’s stunt not mine. ::grins.::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::nods at the First Officer::

CO_Captain_Horn says:
RADM: It's all in the name isn't it? ::grins back at Amber::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::quietly leaves::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::inwardly sighs::  CO: I am at your disposal.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: I believe it is. ::smiles even wider::

XO_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I'm anywhere you want me to be, Captain.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::follows the CNS::

MO_Shannon says:
::as his blood stabilizes, they begin work on the damaged organs.::
