Host EvilAGM says:
Last time on Star Trek: A Call To Duty: USS Orion.  The crew were told they were getting a brand new ship.  They are currently standing in front of the observation window with Admiral Quchant about to 'open the blinds'

Host EvilAGM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Orion Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Farris says:
::Staring at the blinds::

CSO_Lance says:
::waiting for... something::

XO_McRae says:
::sort of looks at the new ship, but isn't too worried about it::

Host EvilAGM says:
<Adm> Crew: All...this is your new ship.......:hits  a button to lighten the dark windows::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::standing in front of the observation window with Admiral Quchant who is about to open the blinds::

CNS_Jordain says:
::feeling quite nervous::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the crew is shown a sparkling brand new Akira Class starship

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::stand on tip toes and look saver the CNS's frame::

CSO_Lance says:
Self: Is it now??

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::would think that was really neat if she knew what an Akira class was::

CTO_Farris says:
Self: That's nice...

EO_Ded`Bob says:
self: oh.. a new toy!

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Its so shiny!     No dents in it Mr. McRae!

CNS_Jordain says:
::jaw drops a bit::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the hull is facing away and the sleek lines on the nacelles are gleaming

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::edit: FROM Mr. McRae::

CTO_Farris says:
::Wondering when he can get to his station::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Lets try to keep it unblemished at least for the next twenty four hours Mr. McRae.    ::grin::

Host EvilAGM says:
<Adm> Crew: Let's go around the other side and then you can see the saucer on the Akira class ship.......

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CO: it needs a racing stripe..

XO_McRae says:
CO: I'll try not to scratch it until we return from our next mission.

CNS_Jordain says:
::follows the rest::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: At least that one has a saucer...

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::follows the admiral, concerned about their insurance going up with a new vessel::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::follows the group.. looking out the window over where he walks::

CTO_Farris says:
Self: Wait a minute... what's it called?

CTO_Farris says:
::Gets to following everyone else::

XO_McRae says:
::walks around to the front of the ship::

Host EvilAGM says:
<Adm> ::overhears the CTO:: CTO: You'll find out in a moment...I've had the livery on the side left off until you were on board

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The Crew makes it's way around to the other side of the ship....

CTO_Farris says:
ADM: Aye, sir.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the letters on the saucer section are revealed....U.S.S. Talwar  NCC-80872

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::wonders around with the rest of the gawkers::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::wonders what the heck a Talwar is and promptly forgets the call letters::

CTO_Farris says:
Self: Talwar? hmm...

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::looks at the ship and scratches head::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: Several minutes later the crew is riding the TL to the bridge

CNS_Jordain says:
::looking at the shine on everything::

XO_McRae says:
::wonders if he'll be able to get quarters that no one can find like he had on the Orion::

CTO_Farris says:
::Itching to get his hands on the weapons controls::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the TL doors open and the crew spill out on the bridge....

CTO_Farris says:
::Spills out::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: it's circular in design...as usual...with the CO's seat alone in the center of the bridge...OPS and FCO stations occupy larger stations at either side at the front

XO_McRae says:
::looks at the new Big Chair[tm]::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::waits in the TL and walks off last.. hands behind back::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::thinks great, we have an antsy CTO on the bridge of a ship named after a sword::

CNS_Jordain says:
::walks out towards the counselor chair::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the Big Chair[tm] still has the plastic wrapping on it...as do most of the seats

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the big chair is the only non-station chair on the bridge

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::thinks its too shiny, too new, no personality::

CTO_Farris says:
::Runs to the tactical station and pulls up the controls::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
XO: well.. I guess the Orion really is dead..

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the brass plaque on the wall shines as well

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sits briefly in the chair, getting up quickly when it makes a rude sound::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the plastic is still on the chair

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::face bright red she sidles away from the chair::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::walks over with a sigh and looks at the Plaque on the wall near the TL doors::

XO_McRae says:
::wants to take the new ship out for a spin.::

CTO_Farris says:
Self: Ooo... nice configuration...

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::walks over to the plaque::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
self: the USS Talwar.. Akira Class... hmmm

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the plaque bears the new motto...."Expect problems and eat them for breakfast" - Alfred A Montapert

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CO: fancy eh?

XO_McRae says:
::walks over to his chair, wherever that may be.  wishes they'd gotten his chair off the Orion like he requested::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The executive officer does not have a chair on the bridge

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::Out loud.. reads:: Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.. that's ... different

CSO_Lance says:
::looks around in "amazement""::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CO: so we got a war ship?

XO_McRae says:
<change last line to:  walks where his chair would have been on the Orion and wishes they'd gotten it off like he requested>

CSO_Lance says:
::can't find her station::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the science station is in the back left corner

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::paces around the bridge and looks at each station..::

CTO_Farris says:
All: Goody goody... I have new weapons!

EO_Ded`Bob says:
XO: how fast can this baby make?

CSO_Lance says:
::spots her station and trots over there::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the tactical terminal indicates that the weapons pod on the top of the ship has just been installed

XO_McRae says:
EO: Hopefully fast enough that when I shoot you out of an airlock, you'll never catch up.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::looks at the XO::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
XO: my dear commander.. I doubt that

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO, CTO: Don't worry, while they are still in a good mood I will get chairs for you two

CTO_Farris says:
Self: Oooo... I got a weapons pod! ::Dances happily::

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Thanks, Captain.

CSO_Lance says:
::checks the station over::

XO_McRae says:
::grins maliciously:: EO: Let's find out.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::looks at him annoyed:: XO: over your dead body

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::asks the CSO to send a message to the base requisitioning the chairs::

CSO_Lance says:
::sends the message::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: The first message from the Ori-er the Talwar.

XO_McRae says:
::makes note to have Bob transferred as soon as possible::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
:;goes back to walking the bridge::

CTO_Farris says:
XO: Think it's about time to... let the EO here check out the new brig? ::Grins::

CSO_Lance says:
CO: Yes, sir

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::looks at the CTO::

XO_McRae says:
::remembers his recent brig time:: CTO: I think you may be right.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the noise of the communications console's incoming message alarm is deafening

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO, XO: Behave boys.

CSO_Lance says:
:;answers the comm since no one else does::

XO_McRae says:
::turns down the volume on the comm console::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::holds ears and runs to the console.. trying to turn the tone volume down::

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Aww... we were just having fun... But can we? Please? I'll be your best friend...

CSO_Lance says:
COMM: This is the USS Talwar...

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Its not a requirement that you be my friend Mr. Farris, you can play jail later.

XO_McRae says:
::thinks:: I wasn't kidding.

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Okey day.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::looks at the XO::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO, XO: Take heart, the brig will have to be tested at some point

Host EvilAGM says:
<SBC> COMM: USS Talwar:  This is Admiral Quchant in Starbase 231 Ops...would you like to take her out?

CSO_Lance says:
CO: Captain, the Admiral's on the comm. He wants to know if you would like to take her out.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::walks over to the engineering console.. which I assume there is one up here.. and logs in::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: If this is what they gave us I suppose...        erm tell him yes we will be thrilled too.

XO_McRae says:
::walks to Flight Control, since there's no one else to do it.::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CSO: what about the commands codes?

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Its too shiny, you know what to do.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CO: but sir.. was command already transferred?

CSO_Lance says:
EO: How am I supposed to know?

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: And no you can't throw Ded'Bob out and see if he will dent it

Host EvilAGM says:
<SBC> Comm: USS Talwar: Commander...would you inform the captain she needs to officially introduce herself to the computer....

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::blinks standing behind the CO's field of view::

CSO_Lance says:
COMM: Adm. The Captain would like to but there is still the matter of the command codes, sir?

XO_McRae says:
CO: I was going to transport him way out actually, keep him away from the hull::

CSO_Lance says:
CO: Admiral says you have to introduce yourself to the computer, sir.

Host EvilAGM says:
<SBC> Comm: USS Talwar: Just get the captain to introduce herself to the computer....it's taken care of from there

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
Computer: Hi Computer, this is Kailah Jorgaenson of the USS...

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::whispers to the XO::    XO: What's the silly name again???

CTO_Farris says:
XO: Now we can't kill him... but is there anything wrong with just hurting him severely?

Host EvilAGM says:
<Computer> CO: Please state your name rank and serial number for voice print recognition

XO_McRae says:
XO: Talwar

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::turns back to the console and brings up the engineering interface.. logs in as the primer used and the Ship's CEO::

CSO_Lance says:
COMM: Adm. Aye, sir.

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::whispering again::    XO: What a silly name

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
Computer: This is Captain Kailah Jorgaenson, serial number Lucky20Charms

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::::turns and looks at the captain::

XO_McRae says:
CO: I kind of like it actually.

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: I suppose, its just Orion was so, so, well you know

CTO_Farris says:
::Still playing around with the weapons controls, but not firing them... yet::

Host EvilAGM says:
<Computer> CO: Voice print recognition authorized.  Command Codes transferred to Captain Elena Jorgaenson, USS Talwar NCC 80872

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Caution Mr. Farris, we don't want to blow up the Starbase

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::grumbles:: you would trill..

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the bridge goes quiet after the computer spoke

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Yes, I know... careful careful careful... yack yack yack...

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: Well that's great, now I am dead

XO_McRae says:
CO: Yeah, but it seemed so normal, this one has people wondering where we got it for long enough that we can kill them.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::looks around the bridge.. pulls a chair out of the wall.. sits and looks at the status of the warp core on the console::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
Computer: This is Captain KAILAH Jorgaenson, Captain Elena Jorgaenson is deceased

Host EvilAGM says:
<Computer> CO: Voice print mismatch has occurred.  Voice print recognized as Captain Elena Jorgaenson (Deceased) and also Captain Kailah Jorgaenson

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sigh::

CTO_Farris says:
::Starts pulling out a phaser to go shoot the computer::

XO_McRae says:
::prepares to hack the new computer::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
Computer: This is Captain Kailah Jorgaenson, formerly of the USS Orion now floating dust particles.     My serial number is Lucky20Charms

CTO_Farris says:
::Goes over to a corner:: Computer: How would you like a few missing files?

Host EvilAGM says:
<Computer> CO: It is logical to assume that you are Captain Kailah Jorgaenson as Captain Elena Jorgaenson is deceased.  Command codes transferred to Captain Kailah Jorgaenson.  ::The computer has a faintly Vulcan accent to it::

XO_McRae says:
::definitely knows he's going to have to reprogram the computer's voice::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::looks up from the display::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CSO: we have a Vulcan computer?

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::in an aside::       XO: I think Dr. T'Lar helped program this thing, I bet it even has special reminders just for me

CSO_Lance says:
::silently fiddling with her station::

CTO_Farris says:
::goes back to playing with the controls::

XO_McRae says:
CO: Don't worry, I'll fix it later, when we're away from the station.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The communications stations bleeps again asking about departure time

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: On second thought, the voice does sound familiar, but not female...       Ambassador Stelakh was just on the station.    Oh dear.

CTO_Farris says:
::Wonders who's got OPS::

CSO_Lance says:
CO: The Starbase wants to know when we will depart, sir.

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Well you could tell them we will leave when we are darn good and ready but I suppose they would get upset

XO_McRae says:
CO: I'll definitely fix that then.

XO_McRae says:
::inputs his codes into the system and prepares to depart::

CTO_Farris says:
::Thinks about dropping a pin::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the docking clamps being to fly off the Talwar as the ship prepares to depart

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CO: docking clamps released..

CSO_Lance says:
COMM: SB231: As soon as we are ready over here.

XO_McRae says:
::waits for the order to depart::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Engage!

XO_McRae says:
::pulls out of the Starbase at a speed he shouldn't be doing and prepares for max warp::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the Talwar pulls out of the docking bay in reverse and heads for the still closed bay doors

CTO_Farris says:
::Pulls up weapons, just in case he has to blast those doors::

CSO_Lance says:
::searching for her safety belt::

XO_McRae says:
COMM: SB231:  You guys want to open the doors for me?

XO_McRae says:
::looks around for the garage door opener::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the bay doors open

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the Talwar barely squeezes past

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::breathes a sigh of relief::

XO_McRae says:
::gets to just under warp speed before he exits the base::

CTO_Farris says:
Self: Dang... I wanted to shoot them...

XO_McRae says:
CO: Going to max warp now, I hope.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the weapons pod on the super structure registers as fully loaded

XO_McRae says:
::puts the Talwar through its paces, barrel rolls, steep climbs, sudden stops::

CTO_Farris says:
Self: Ooo... CO: The weapons pod is full. Can we test them?

XO_McRae says:
::wonders if he should kill gravity, just for giggles::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Lets slow down just a bit and let Mr. Farris have some fun

EO_Ded`Bob says:
:;watches the IDF goes up and down as the XO plays rodeo with the CON.. grumbles::

CSO_Lance says:
::wonders what the XO is doing::

Host EvilAGM says:
<Computer> Bridge: Warning: IDF system reaching high end of tolerance

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Thankies!

XO_McRae says:
CO: Oh, all right.  ::drops out of warp::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
XO: I suggest you stop that before we all go splat on the main view screen

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: Specs of the weapons pod roll by and the multiple torps launchers front and rear show ready

CSO_Lance says:
::trying to read the sensors but is unfamiliar with the design::

CTO_Farris says:
::Gets a big evil grin on his face and looks around for asteroids::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::goes to reconfigure the IDF and mumbles something about trills with insane symbionts::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: We will have to test the weapons with your special maneuvers too so don't get pouty

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The same asteroid field as before is in range.

XO_McRae says:
::grins and prepares for some fun::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Lets be a little more cautious with the asteroid this time?

CTO_Farris says:
::Targets the biggest asteroid he can and fires a volley of weapons::

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Of course, captain.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::turns and looks at the viewer:: CO: are you sure this is a good idea?

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sighs and gives in, letting him have his fun::

XO_McRae says:
::starts to fly through the asteroid field::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
EO: Of course not Mr. Ded'Bob,

XO_McRae says:
::gets closer than he should to a couple of the big ones::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the forward torps launcher fire a half dozen torps but the targeted asteroid is dust from the phaser array before they hit it

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the torps fly on ...looking for a target

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: A bit of overkill there Mr. Farris

CTO_Farris says:
::Hits the self destruct button for those torps that didn't hit the asteroid::

XO_McRae says:
::tracks the torpedoes, just in case they head for the Talwar::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the torps fly around in an arc

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Sorry, captain.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::tries to compensate the energy usage to shields, weapons and IDF.. not to mention the XO's bad driving::

EO_Ded`Bob says:
CO: um sir..

XO_McRae says:
::starts dodging torpedoes::

CSO_Lance says:
:;finally figuring out sensors and tries a tentative scan wondering just what the heck the CTO is doing::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: tactical console begins to read the torps as heat seeking types with no self destruct installed....the self destruct option is empty on all the torps

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Mr. Farris, are you TRYING to blow up our new ship the first day?

CTO_Farris says:
::Self: Uh oh... ::Aims phasers at the torps and raises shields::

XO_McRae says:
::starts leading torpedoes into other asteroids::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the same information flows up on the science console along with the information that the required parts are due in on Tuesday

CSO_Lance says:
CO: How about blowing them up with phasers?

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::closes eyes and sits back with a sigh::

CTO_Farris says:
::Fires phasers at the torps::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the Talwar is now being chased with 6 torps...sorry 5...one just hit an asteroid.....

EO_Ded`Bob says:
XO: those are seeking energy signatures! those rocks don't have any!

CSO_Lance says:
::feels strangely reminded of the Enterprise-B::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Lets give Mr. Farris a chance to see if he can correct his little oversight

XO_McRae says:
::wonders why they're wasting phasers on the torpedoes when he can just run them into the asteroids::

CTO_Farris says:
All: I'm trying. Just give me a second.

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: The shields are up Mr. Farris?

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: phasers take out three more

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Yes, captain.

Host EvilAGM says:
Action: 4 down....two to go

XO_McRae says:

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Its moments like this that I regret I don't drink

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::frantic to keep all the systems in synch with the power out put of the warp core::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: One of the remaining torps hits the surface of the asteroid

XO_McRae says:
::pulls up and does a tight loop to get behind the torpedoes::

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Mr. Farris, I forbid you to launch any more torpedoes

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Ok... ::Fires phasers at the last torps::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: The phasers miss

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Send out one of the incomplete shuttles

XO_McRae says:
::gets really close to the last torpedo::

EO_Ded`Bob says:

CSO_Lance says:
CO: I am not going to say what I regret right now, sir.

EO_Ded`Bob says:
<pale>

CSO_Lance says:
CO: Rerouting power to the forward shields, sir.

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: Shuttlebay calls up to say that the shuttles don't have navigation systems installed yet....ETA....Tuesday

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Never mind Mr. Lance

XO_McRae says:
CTO: Crank the shields on the front.  I'm going to ram it.

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Mr. Farris, this is your situation, rectify it.

CTO_Farris says:
CO/XO: Ok. ::Cranks the power to forward shields:: XO: Ready

XO_McRae says:
::wonders when the torpedo will run out of fuel::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the torps can be seen getting closer and closer

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::self:: and get us killed in a bloody explosion in the process.. sheesh

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: What do you regret right now Mr. Lance?     Besides the fact that everything we need is installed on Tues?

XO_McRae says:
::increases speed to get room to turn and ram::

Host EvilAGM says:
ACTION: the Torps hits and everyone does the enterprise shuffle....

XO_McRae says:

CTO_Farris says:
CO: Shields are at 105%. I declare this thing ready to blow stuff up!

Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO, XO: Well done Mr. Farris and Mr. McRae

XO_McRae says:
CO: So, can we do that again?

EO_Ded`Bob says:
::leaves the bridge for main engineering::
