CNS/XO: We have to organise the situation here.  There are only the three of us here who know the true reason for our visit.  We are under orders to keep it this way
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  In my opinion, all the senior staff need to know in order to do their jobs effectively.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS: I've thought on it, and I’ve decided that unless our circumstances change, we should keep it that way.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS: Their jobs, at this present time, is to perform an efficiency check on the outpost.  Those jobs might, however, change due to circumstances
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::sees that the scans are clear and grins::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:

::Finishes his work on the shower and heads towards a nearby terminal to run some diagnostics checks on it.::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::checks up on Long Range Sensors::
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS/XO: On that note, I think that to perform this properly, two of the three of us will perform the investigation, whilst the third will co-ordinate the mission and the efficiency check from the ship
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
XO/CNS: Opinions?
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::notes a small vessel just entering sensor range::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: Agreed, my suggestion would be what the Captain suggested earlier. That the CNS and CO do the investigating and I clog up the red tape.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  We should send the least threatening officer to the outpost.  Try to keep it looking like a minor routine inspection.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::considers that the ETA to Outpost 34A is about 20 mn and discreetly kicks off a shoe and cross legs to rub a sore foot::

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::brings up the LRS display on Tac2:: TO: Keep an eye on that ship, let me know if it does anything that could be considered hostile.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
::Nods to both officers::  XO/CNS: My thoughts exactly.  Myself and Luchena on the outpost, whilst Exeter in temporary command of the Tal-War
EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
::After having succesfully concluded the diagnostics, he thinks it might be safe to test the sonic shower and redirects the water towards the CTO's quarters.:: Computer: Activate shower.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  I think the presence of a Captain to do a routine inspection is unwarranted.
TO_ENS_O`Brien says:
CTO: Aye sir ::Taps console and puts the computer to track the ship::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: As the rules say I agree with the CNS, the CO shouldn't be doing away missions, unless you  ignore my advice.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Let me go down with a couple of junior officers.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS: We could say we weren't there for the inspection.  But, my instinct is going against a single person investigating this.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<move my last to here>
TO_ENS_O`Brien says:
::Keeps scanning the ship and the surrounding area for any other ships::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I recommend the CNS and the CTO. I'll brief Macallister
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  And OPS.  It would make sense for an inspection.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
XO: Not the CTO.  I don't want anyone else knowing of this except us at the moment
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::changes foot while reading OPS reports::
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS: If you feel confident you can conduct this without the rest of the crew knowing our other agenda, I will give my okay.  But you cannot tell the other members of the AT
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Understood Captain.
 XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: you know what we are looking for so I suggest you take a communications officer with you and a tactical officer.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
XO: I agree Renee being assigned to this.  And, on the principle of an efficiency check, the CTO.
Host TigerLady says:
Action... A gurgle and rumbling can be heard as the EO tests the shower... the water spurts out with the pressure leavings the EO partially soaked... the flow quickly steadies running as it should
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS/XO: Are we agreed on this?
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::scans the small ship for weapons and anything else that might indicate a hostile ship::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: How much is our Macallister like his brother?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods::  CO/XO:  MacAllister and Santos.

CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
XO: He is an excellent officer, based on his own merits
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::thumbs PADD and goes for the last gulp of her tea::
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
XO: Give the orders to the rest of the crew about the check.  I need a few minutes with the CNS before he prepares for the AT
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: So is his brother, but i have suspicion there is a wild streak in him.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the CO curiously::
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
XO: He is an officer, and will behave like one
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye-aye,ma'am ::stands up and nods then leaves::
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
::Waits until Exeter has left the room::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain?

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
Self: Ugh... alright... at least it sprouts water... ::Takes a few steps back and rubs his wet suit, trying to get the water off of him.:: Self: This will work fine untill someone will come with more experience in this than me.
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: enters on the bridge:: FCO: set a course to Outpost 34A, be ready to leave on my mark. 
FCO_Shania says:
XO: We are already on the way. ETA is 10 minutes.
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
FCO: Thanks, I should check the orders  handed out now and again. 
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::spots Exeter exiting the RR:: XO: Commander...
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS: I know how unsure you are of doing this without the ability to inform the others.  I'd like for us to stay in communication, not just through secure comms, but telepathically.  We can't be too sure what surveillance the moles may have.  And this way, as soon as you may need it, i can give you my okay to tell Santos and MacAllister
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::puts empty cup back in the replicator and leaves the officer's lounge::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods::  CO:  I hope you don't doubt that I'll follow your orders?
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: Yes, Macallister
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
::Smiles reassuringly at Luchena::  CNS: Of course not. But i want to be able to say yes if things get to the point you need to, and for me to get real time information from you/
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
XO: Long range sensors have picked up a small ship just on the edge of the range.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::strolls back to the Bridge::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands::  CO:  Of course.  And with the outpost's shields down you might be able to do some snooping from up here.
  XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says: 
CTO: what kind of ship is it?

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
XO: It's a personnel carrier sir.
 OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::returns to OPS console and checks on current system status::
TO_ENS_O`Brien says:
::Nods at OPS as she enters the bridge::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: What race?
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
CNS: I intend to.  While Exeter is co-ordinating the efficiency check. I'm going to try and use my access to see where and who the stolen information was taken from
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::nods back at O'Brien with a smile::
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
::Inclines her head::  CNS: You'd better go prepare your AT.  And make your baby proud
EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
::He gathers his tools and closes off the CTO's quarters. While returning to ME he reports his 'progress':: *CTO*: Sir ::Pauses to chuckle very softly:: you're shower is kind of working again. Just be gentle with it and I will ask someone with more experience on showers to check on it later.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
::Grins at Luchena::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
XO: Checking now Commander.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles::  CO:  Understood Captain.  ::moves to door and waits::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Is that ship sending out any communications and what kind of signal is it using, federation,starfleet etc?
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
::Closes her eyes for a second, before undoing the top button of her jacket, and moving to the replicator::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
XO: I'm not getting anything from them, Sir. But we are within communication range of the Outpost now.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::leaves the Ready Room::
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:
Computer: Camomile tea, hot
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
XO: Sir, the Outpost is hailing us.
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Life signs and weaponry?
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
XO: Scans confirm it's the SS Redwitch heading away from the outpost
 XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: On Screen.
 CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves toward the helm::  FCO:  ETA to the outpost?
Host TigerLady says:
<Outpost OPS> COMM: USS Tal-War: Identify yourselves and your business.
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::checks sensors again:: XO: Basic crew, no weapons, she's no threat to us.
FCO_Shania says:
CNS: 1 minute.
Host TigerLady says:
Action... Outpost OPS, a none descript human sits staring at the bridge of the Tal-War.
CO_Cdmr_Jameson says:

OPS/CTO:  We have an efficiency inspection to perform.  Gear up and meet me in Transporter Room 1
EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
::Arrives at ME and sits down behind a terminal and brings up the report he was going to send to the XO on the shower and the flooding of deck 2::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
XO: Aye Commander, looks like she's going to sail right past us, her trajectory takes her no closer than 100,000km.
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: Tell your TO to take a good scan of her when she's closest.
 OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CNS: Aye, Sir. ::transfers console and heads out of the Bridge::
Host TigerLady says:
<Outpost OPS> COM: Tal-War: XO: Bi annually what! I'll inform the Outpost Administrator... and check that regulation.
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:

TO_ENS_O`Brien says:

OPS_Ens_Santos says:

TL:  Deck 15.  ::watches the doors close::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:

::Keeps the scans locked on the ship while it gets closer and closer::
XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Com: Outpost: Good day, thrawn, Commander Exeter, USS-TalWar. Please tell me you did receive the updated regulations, I already had to fire one Administrator and send one to a penal colony in the last two weeks.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO/OPS:  There is more going on here than I can tell you.  While carrying out your duties, keep an eye out for anything unusual or suspicious.  But don't report it over the communication system.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges from the TL on deck 15 and heads to the transporter room::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
