USS Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10606.08

Mission #257

Life aboard the Norway Class USS Sharikahr has not been easy for those who have promised to protect and to serve the United Federation of Planets.  The crew has already witnessed the destruction of a defenseless medical ship, been detained by Cardassians, and shared several dangerous moments since this mission began.

After having faced the torture from the Cardassians who had taken over the ship, the crew was not able to gather themselves and speak properly with Gul Rema, who worked for the Obsidian Order. One hour and thirty minutes passed and the crew began normal duty rotations.

The Sharikahr was hailed by the Office of Gul Rema and was informed that she wished to meet aboard the ship instead of Cardassia Prime. As the Captain had a Briefing Room prepared, he, Executive Officer Rodos, Counselor Rodos, and Lieutenant Murphy headed for the Transporter Room leaving Lieutenant So'tosh in command of the Bridge.

As the officers headed for the Transporter Room, the Sharikahr was hailed yet again. This time, however, the Cardassian was not so welcoming. The Cardassian Officer demanded to know under whose authority were they present around Cardassia.

Once Lieutenant So'tosh asked if there was a problem, the Cardassian became outraged and stated the Sharikahr's presence in their space was the problem. With this news, the Captain ordered Executive Officer Rodos back to the Bridge to deal with this matter. By this time, Gul Rema had transported aboard and seemed to ignore the others except Murphy.

Lieutenant J.G. Arinoch discovered that the comm was not sent from Cardassia, but from another location near the asteroid. It was also discovered that the signals were the same as what were reordered from the Ferengi Communication device days ago.

The meeting with Gul Rema came to an end when she revealed that the Sharikahr was to break into the asteroid, a base for the Cardassian Eleventh Order/Red Allegiance Alliance, and bring that information back to Starfleet Intelligence.

What will happen next? Can Captain Irvin devise a plan to be successful? Will the Sharikahr crew be walking into a trap?

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: We have a little sub-mission to do here.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::listening carefully::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::cringes at the captain's opening statement, thinking to himself:: I hate Cardassian sub-missions. Almost as much as I hate Cardassia. Ah hell... I just hate prism.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::stands and begins to pace:: XO: Falor... Find Murphy... I didn't specify that she be here, but she needs to be.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
Computer: Computer, locate Lieutenant Murphy.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles sympathetically at the CTO::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::monitors the sensors while Donavin is in the meeting, looking at a bridge surprisingly devoid of red uniforms::

Host Computer says:
XO: Lieutenant Murphy is in her Quarters.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: We've been requested to infiltrate, as you know from the mission brief, the asteroid we encountered

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::misses Millicent's smile, his eyes somewhere between himself and... somewhere::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::steps away from the briefing for a second:: *MS*: Lieutenant Murphy to the briefing room immediately.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: I've ordered Mr. Rodos to prepare a SMALL away team.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: There will be two people instead of the one that I ordered going with you Mr. Rodos....

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::she hears the comm and pauses:: *XO*: I have other business to attend to, Lieutenant. I'll be there as soon as I can. ::she stands and exits her Quarters::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::re-takes his seat::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::rolls eyes and slaps his combadge:: *MS* Better be good Murphy... You need to be here for this. I'm not giving the briefing again.

::Hears Murphy over the Comm.:: XO: Oh no she didn't.....

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
*CO*: Of course it is, Captain. Murphy out. ::she cuts the comm and enters the Turbo Lift::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: I can send someone to... ::he coughs:: retrieve her if you'd like, captain. ::that woman has begun to irritate him... no, downright tick off::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::eyes the captain's face::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::slaps his combadge again to close the channel and continues:: XO: You'll be taking Ms. Murphy and Ms. Rochelle with you

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Aye sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::silently nods::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO/XO: Excuse me sirs

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
~~~RedFire: Prepare.~~~

ACTION: Long Range Sensors detect a vessel approaching the Sharikahr at Warp 9. ETA is 5 minutes.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::looks to the FCO:: FCO: Yes Ms. Cartwright

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Mrs....But really this appears to be more of a suicide mission.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::attempts to get a general ID on the incoming ship:: *CO*: Bridge to Captain Irvin...

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::the Turbo Lift doors open and she steps onto the Bridge:: TO: Ensign, report please. Have there been any vessels in the area?

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::knowing fully what is expected has already began to prepare her mental state::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::looks up from his display as the MS addresses him, a little touch nervous:: MS: One just... arrived, sort of... sir. I've just called the Captain.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Waits for the tactical officers report before bringing up her comment.::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::sighs:: FCO: Unfortunately it can't be avoided... I hope that we'll be able to better prepare ourselves as we get up to the 11th hour.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
TO: There is no need. That vessel is expected. Please hail it. ::she moves forward toward the viewscreen::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: Ms. Rochelle is versed in Starfleet Intelligence procedures and has a resource at her disposal that may prove useful during the recon that, if needed, will give us a little insurance

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain... I have a comment and a thought to present to you.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::almost as if he forgot to, he snaps the MS a quick salute, if clumsily, then hails the ship::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Might I suggest Captain, that you have Dr Cartwright and his medical staff do a few surgical alterations. Actually make the three look Cardassian.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
CSO: Yes So'tsoh...

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks around at the others as they speak::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
COM: Heartfire: USS Heartfire, this is the Federation Starship Sharikahr. Please respond.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::nods to the CNS as to say "just a second"::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow, watching his TO's report go unanswered, at least for the moment but decides not to say anything about it... yet::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Someone versed in combat or... such situations, should go with Lieutenant Rodos. As for a thought...

RedFire says:
~~~CIV: Prepared~~~

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods politely::

Heartfire_CO says:
@COM:  Murphy:  Heartfire here.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::raises hand:

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: There is something that has been troubling me about these groups.  It is the fact, that technically, both groups, were annihilated.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
COM: Heartfire: CO: Heartfire, do you have our passenger aboard and are you prepared to receive ours?

Heartfire_CO says:
@COM:  Murphy:  Ready to transport.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::is now getting a little more than nervous at the CO's non-responsiveness, but not nearly as much as with that woman in command::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
COM: Heartfire: Transport our passenger aboard. We will send your the other officer in several minutes.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
CSO: I understand... I am confident that Ms. Murphy has enough operational intelligence on the 11th order from the Cardassian High Command to help the team avoid that....

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::looks to the CNS:: CNS: Millie.....

Heartfire_CO says:
@COM: Murphy:  Initiating transport.  ::nods to his OPS officer::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Actually, sir i already gave my suggestion. A few surgical alterations to help the team look Cardassian and some bio sign masking to fool the sensors.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::sits there writing down things on the PADD::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
CNS: Very well...

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Realizing the captains impatience to get things under way, proceeds no further with this.::

ACTION: The Heartfire transports Lieutenant Ki to Transporter Room One, where he is ordered to report to the Bridge.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::looks to the CIV:: CIV: Rochelle?

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Also sir, you might want to answer the TO's call I can feel that he is very nervous.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I will be on my own.  None of your crew will be put in jeopardy.  I work with my partner alone.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
TO: Ensign, once the Lieutenant arrives on the Bridge, send him into the Briefing Room.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::materializes, looks around quickly to orient himself, then leaves the transporter room::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CO: I assume you have telepaths on board?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::sits and listens::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::she turns toward the Briefing Room and enters it a moment later::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::nods, just once... nothing but regulation:: MS: Aye, sir!

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::enters a conveniently placed turbo lift::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::slaps com badge:: *TO* Go ahead

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
TL:  Bridge.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I believe what he has to tell you, I can explain. ::she looks rather stone-faced::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::blinks:: *CO*: Sir, I... was just calling to inform you of an incoming ship... but Lieutenant Murphy said it was... expected? ::is, clearly, beyond confused::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::staring at Murphy:: *TO*: Thanks Smith... I got it... Irvin out.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::turns and almost glares at Murphy as she conveniently arrives, but restrains himself, *just* barely::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Looks at Murphy and more or less snarls/growls at her.::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::she hands the CO the PADD she was given by the Gul:: CO: By order of Starfleet Command, Lieutenant So'tsoh is being reassigned immediately. An officer has been sent in her place, sir.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::looks up to see Murphy giving a dirty look::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::snatches the PADD:: MS: What?!

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::turns and snaps a salute as the doors to the bridge open:: OPS: Lieutenant, you've... been ordered to report to the CO... in there. ::points vaguely at the briefing room::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::now has a look of concern::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Sits forward, and looks at Murphy intently:: MS: Whose orders?

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::adds after a second or two:: OPS: ... Sir.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
TO:  In there?  ::points vaguely at where the TO vaguely pointed::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::she turns toward the CSO:: CSO: Lieutenant, the USS Heartfire is here to bring you to your next destination. ::she motions to the PADD the CO has::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks toward the captain::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Murphy: Don't tell us.  You've been sent to replace her?

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::looks to the CSO:: CSO: It looks to be legit So'tsoh. ::hands her the PADD::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::nods, still a touch nervous:: OPS: Aye, sir. The briefing room, sir.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
FCO: Of course not, Commander. I would never dream of it.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Takes the PADD and glances through it.::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::continues to sit in silence::

OPS_Lt_Li says:
::nods and steps towards the briefing room::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
MS: Why is this the first we are hearing of this?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::okay, he's through pulling punches now and just glares at Murphy::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CNS: Because those were the orders, Counselor. ::watches the CO closely::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
CNS: The security clearance code... I recognize it... It's Starfleet Intelligence... ::shakes head::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::enters the briefing room.  Stops dead when he sees all the people in there::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::Scrolling through it, she searches for the familiar signature and finds it... Harlan.::  CO: Aye sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::sits back and listens and watches::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::casually scans Murphy's emotions::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::turns around with a start::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::visibly relaxes as the OPS officer leaves the bridge, then realizes he's the only regular bridge officer left... and gets nervous all over again::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::turns toward the Briefing Room doors:: OPS: Welcome, Lieutenant Ki. I take it your journey was well?

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::cautiously::  MS:  Very well, thank you.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Sir, if you will excuse me, I need to gather a few things.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Captain, this is Lieutenant Ki, he will be replacing Lieutenant So'tosh. ::with that, she moves next to the FCO and takes a seat::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
CSO: Don't leave without seeing me first Sin....

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: I will not sir.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::cringes again, looking from their CSO to the OPS officer, and back... blinks, then inwardly curses intel, right to hell::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::still standing there::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
OPS: Welcome aboard Lieutenant... ::offers him a chair::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Stands and nods to the new officer.:: OPS: Welcome aboard.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Stands up and shakes the new OPS' hand.:: OPS:  Welcome aboard.  ::Steers him to a seat AWAY from Murphy.::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the CO::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::politely nods at the new officer::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Right.  Thanks.  ::sits::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Quietly exits the room and heads for the lift.::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods and smiles to the new officer::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::watches the new officer::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::avoids eye contact with anyone::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: Ok..... So things have changed a bit...

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::Stepping into the turbolift, she orders it to her quarters.::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::looks up to see the new OPS::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::she crosses her legs and turns her attention back to the CO, not saying a word::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::if looks could kill, there wouldn't be anything left of the MS for the look he gives her, before he returns his attention to the meeting at large::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::frowns at the MS, feeling as if they just got railroaded::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::returns to the center of the table:: CIV: To address your last comment....

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: In her quarters, she enters her closet to pull out a bag that is always ready and waiting.::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::shifts her attention back to the CO::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
CIV: No one works alone here. We work together. Is that understood?

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::she remains stone-faced, not really caring that she is being given several different "looks"::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::there goes the mission::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::checks out those in the briefing room while their attention is directed at the CO::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::makes a few notes on her PADD::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: Ok... This craft you will be in should be here momentarily and we'll prepare it for launch as soon as it is delivered.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Placing that on the bed, she moves over to her desk, opens a drawer, and taps in a code along with giving a voice command.::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Captain, may I give a suggestion?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::thinks to himself:: Does it involve you falling off a cliff?

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::turns:: MS: Do I have a choice?

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::uncomfortable, adjusts his posture::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Why not staff the renegade vessel with some of your Senior Staff members posing as Red Allegiance members? We could easily mimic their signature and possibly get in easily...

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::frowns::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles at Lt. Ki, trying to let him know that he's welcome in spite of the tension::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Removing a slim case, she closes the drawer and drops it onto the bed next to the bag.::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::looks back at the CNS and smiles hesitantly::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: As much as I'm going to regret admit it, the Lieutenant may be right. I have enough experience with Cardassians systems to manage to bypass most security checks I think.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::hopes the CO doesn't ask how::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Opening the bag, she pulls out a modified Starfleet uniform and quickly changes, glancing at the chronometer.::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
MS: You know... Hearing you agree with a suggestion of one of my Senior Staff... It's heartwarming Elizabeth...

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::raises and eyebrow::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
CNS/MS: As they say on Earth... 50,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong....

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Also, they have NO idea who is in their organization by look. However, a ship needs to be staffed by several officers...

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Snaps her head to look at the CO, surprised he referred to Murphy in the First Name.::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::bursts out laughing, then quickly shuts up::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::smiles slightly at the CO's comment::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles at the CO's joke::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gives the OPS officer a curious look, then lifts an eyebrow, but doesn't say a thing::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Wonders if the CO and Murphy are spending a BIT TOO much time together ALONE.::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Reaching into the bag, pulls out various weapons and places them about her person along with the case.::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::embarrassed by his outburst::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::looks over to the new OPS officer with a smile:: All: I think you'll all find that I'm playing this one a little bit more off the cuff than most COs would... To be quite honest, I'm as befuddled and nervous as the rest of you. The only thing that I can ask is that you do your best.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Shakes her head and admonishes herself for even thinking it at a time like this when we are all about to die.::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the CO::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::wonders when the realism will come out::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Continues her private thoughts, But then again, it would make sense....::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::She sits back in her chair, watching the others::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
XO: Ok... Ready your team.... Work with Murphy to see how many would be needed to pull this off at her suggestion....

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
All: Any questions?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::Moves to her computer and informs her department of the changes, giving orders for dealing with her projects and sends a personal request for someone to take care of her plants.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain, what do you want the Sharikahr to do while the Away Team is well Away?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::returns his attention to the CO, then as he gives his order, looks over at the XO:: XO: I'd volunteer myself for this little escapade, Lieutenant. I have recent experience with Cardassian technology.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::still remains seated::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
FCO: Simple... Stay out of their way and try not to draw attention.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::still looking at the CO::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Picking up the PADD, looks for the special code and sends out a brief communication to her cousin.::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: Permission granted, provided the Captain agrees as well.. ::looks at the CO::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Everything in order, she moves to the bed, closes the bag and slips it over her shoulder as she heads out of the room.::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
CO/XO: We need some rather experienced officers on the team, sirs. I would suggest Commander Cartwright be added as well as Lieutenant Harris.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
XO: Will the Away Team be beaming down or shuttling?

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::shakes head now and gets up::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
XO: Away Team Leader's discretion.... I don't foresee us being in anything that our capable tactical staffers can't handle.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
MS: That's between you and Mr. Rodos....

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
XO: Lieutenant? ::she looks over him::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: I disagree Captain.  I am needed here on the Sharikahr with our Cardie friends out there.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::sitting in the briefing room::

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
FCO: Who will be allowing you to sit here... however... we need an experienced pilot taking us near the asteroid just in case.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: Steps into the nearest turbolift.::  Computer, bridge.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
FCO: I agree with Ms. Murphy.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Takes a moment to think about her staff.::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
FCO: I agree as well... we need an experienced pilot in case something goes wrong.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, she pauses for a moment before stepping off, noting the briefing was still in progress.::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
FCO: There we go then! 50,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CEO: You too as well, Mr. Harris, we could use your engineering expertise.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO/MS:  Very well.  Although anyone of my staff would be fully capable of this task.  I will not ask them to put themselves through it. ::Looks at Murphy slightly sticking her tongue out at her.::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow, yet again:: CO: I never really got the point of that joke.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
XO :yes sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
::turns around and walks back into the briefing room and sits::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the FCO::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::tries  not to laugh out loud again::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
XO: i am here and ready.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Thinks to self, Lord knows I wouldn't want to put them through Hell with you Murphy.::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: When do we get our craft?

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
::she smiles slightly toward the FCO::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::smiles broadly, then turns away as if inspecting the wall intently::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
XO: Any minute now.

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
OPS: Lieutenant Ki, welcome again. ::she watches him::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
XO: Which shuttle would you like to take down?

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::shakes his head imperceptibly::  MS:  Looks to be an interesting assignment.

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
::looks around:: All: Anything else?

Host MS_Lt_Murphy says:
OPS: You'll do well. ::smiles::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::shakes his head, and shoots Murphy a withering look::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
FCO: We'll be taking the craft provided by Cardassia. AT: Proceed with preparations, I'll meet you all in the transporter room once I get a hold of our craft.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::smiles back, eyes twinkling with mischief::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods once, gets to his feet, and strides for the briefing room door::

Host CO_Captain_Irvin says:
ALL: Dismissed

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::stands::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
