TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
CSO: Will do sir

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
@. :: starts pacing the Lounge restlessly. ::

*OPS*: Ensign Santos, do you have an ETA on your returning to duty aboard the Tal?

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
. :: Exits the TL and enters TR1 then taps on comm. badge. ::  *CTO*: O’Brien to MacAllister, I'm about to beam over to the outpost, where can I find you sir?

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: You commed Commander Luchena yet, I'm waiting on him and he's late.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CNS*: Commander Luchena, the XO requires your presence in the RR on the TAL ASAP!

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
@*CSO*: Commander Luchena ordered us to wait for the moment, Sir.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@*TO*: Report directly to the outpost lounge Ensign, I'll meet you there.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
*CTO*: Aye

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@. :: sighs. ::   *CSO*:  Calm down Lt.  How about a beam over to save a few minutes?

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*OPS*: Commander Exeter has placed me in command of the overall mission and I require you back on the bridge ASAP, Understood?

Host Martijn says:
ACTION: As the transporter chief nods the TO is beamed to the outpost and materializes at the entrance of the outpost lounge..

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
@*CSO*: On my way, Sir. . :: displeased by his tone. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
. :: After materializes on the outpost, looks around and notes the entrance to the lounge. ::

. :: sits back after getting a cup of coffee and start doing his paper work. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@*OPS*:  Go ahead Rene.  Thank you for everything.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@. :: stops and waits for transport. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Notices the CTO and walks towards him. ::  CTO: Reporting for duty sir!

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*TR1*: Energize when ready.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
@. :: frowns to self, this is a Wuer manoeuvre indeed, he never had much patience. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*EO*: Mr Bugalot, how are the repairs going?

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: approaches the TO. ::  TO: Good, it seems everyone else has been pulled back to the ship, we're headed for the OPS room, come with me.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@CTO: Yes sir

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
. :: Begins to hit his console as the logs don't display what he is looking for. ::  *CSO*: It appears the systems operation no different than they used to. I am trying to determine what might have caused this problem.. but with no success as of yet.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@. :: still hears the call. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*EO*: I want you to keep OPS informed on the power distribution state, if there’s so much as a flicker in a critical system inform us we don't want a repeat of last time

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: heads for the TL to take them to the OPS room. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Follows the CTO. :: 

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@TL: OPS!

Host Martijn says:
ACTION: In a bright flash of light both the CNS and OPS are beamed to the Tal-War, only to materialize on the transporter PADD of transporter room 1.

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
. :: Nods annoyed. ::  *CSO*: I can only do as much as I can, but I will keep the OPS informed if something is out of the ordinary. . :: Begins to set op the screen of an additional console, monitoring the ships critical systems. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: notices OPS materialize beside him. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@CTO: Chief, I believe that we should also check if there was any sort of external interfere with the TW systems

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: walks out of the transporter pad and is handed a PADD by the TR technician with two sets of orders on it, plus a status report. :: :

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
. ::  goes over evaluation reports then,  noticing the two beam ins he gets out his PADD. :: 

Host Martijn says:
ACTION: As the CTO and TO arrive at OPS they are greeted by a security officer.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: heads to a TL. :: 

Host Martijn says:
<Sec Officer>  @. :: nods. ::   CTO, TO: Gentlemen, can I help you..  . :: moves to block the way onto OPS. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CTO*: Stuart, how’s you investigation coming?

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: sets behind Luchena while reading her orders and somehow skilfully avoiding bumping into crew and bulkheads. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: enters the TL. :: 

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: almost misses the TL and backtracks two steps to jump in the car. Notices Luchena doesn't look well. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Awaits the response from the CTO to the Security officer blocking their way. :: 

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:;stands up as he moves for the replicate. :: 

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@TO: An excellent idea, work with the OPS officers. . :: turns to the security officer. ::  Sec: I'm sure you've been made aware that we are conducting an efficiency inspection of the station, and for that we need access to the Operations logs for the station.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*CSO*: Stand by Tobius.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CNS: Are you feeling unwell, Counsellor?

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@ CTO: Will do sir

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CTO*: Okay, when your ready..

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.  . :: turns to OPS and smiles weakly. ::   OPS:  I've a lot on my mind, Renee.

Host Martijn says:
<Sec Officer> . :: frowns. ::   CTO: Well, I do believe that where given a few guides to show you the areas of the station that you need to access.. question is, where is your guide ?

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
. :: Begins to hit his console again and curses briefly, then checking if nobody heard him. ::  Self: What is it that has gone wrong?

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: looks at the security officer. ::  Sec: Last I heard she was called to deal with something up here.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CNS: Anything I can help with.. It doesn't have to work only one way, you know. . :: smiles. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
. :: taps on the chair arm console, bringing up sensor readings around the time of the weapons failure. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  You have been most helpful Renee.  I'm glad to have met you, and considered you a friend.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: emerges from the TL onto the bridge. :: 

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: blushes with a warm feeling as always when she's moved. :: 

Host Martijn says:
<Sec Officer> @. :: nods. ::   CTO: Doubtful.. but I will be keeping an eye on you two..  . :: clears the way and returns to his station. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
. :: notes the arrival of OPS/ CNS. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Where is he?  . :: irritated. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CNS: The Commander is waiting in the Captains RR, Commander.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Whispers to the CTO. ::  CTO: And we will keep an eye on them

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: nods and heads to the ready room. :: 

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: brushes past the security officer as he stands aside. ::  TO: Why do I get the feeling they're hiding something?

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@CTO: You're not the only one sir

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: Reporting as ordered, Sir! . :: looks just an inch over his left shoulder. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Follows the CTO into the room. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: rings the chime. :: 

Host Martijn says:
ACTION: As the CTO and TO walk onto the bridge they can see a large viewscreen ahead of them with several computer consoles on both sides..

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
. :: Grabs a PADD and downloads the logs onto it for later analysis. After it is done, he begins to use both consoles for checking the critical systems, continuously looking from one screen to the other, hoping he won't spot anything strange. ::  Self: How I wish we were appointed a CEO again. Why do I have to do all the work around here?

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Okay Ensign, I need you to get onto filtering out all transmissions from the Outpost to SF Command, but do it discretely, we don't want them to know about it

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
TO: Access the sensor logs for the timeframe that the problems started, look for anything out of the ordinary. I'll download duty logs and see if there's anything noteworthy in them.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Notes the large viewscreen and the consoles on the sides. :: 

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Enter! . ::  Moving back to his seat. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@CTO: Aye sir

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: enters and stands. ::  XO:  You wanted to see me about something?

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: Thinks of the orders she just read and bites her tongue. Keeping records on power distribution IS her job anyway but she won't make him look bad when he is in command. ::  CSO: Yessir, getting right to it.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Engineering will be keeping you updated with anything out of the ordinary regarding the systems

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Better Get this over with, Stand to Attention, commander!

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: accesses a console. ::  *CSO*: Tobius, I'm sending you an encrypted text file, stand by.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: doesn't have time for this. ::   XO:  What is it you want.  . :: hesitates then speaks as if tasting something sour. ::   .. Sir.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Walks towards one of the consoles and starts to look at the sensor logs looking for any info implying for an external interfere at the timeframe of the accident at the TW. :: 

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
. ::  Looks at Luchena rather annoyed and gets out a PADD. ::  CNS: Well, during those few weeks we had to bail our CO and XO out! we worked well together, I'm authorised to give you the Captain's Commendation for excellence in Administrative Duties. . :: hands over the PADD. ::  CNS: congratulations you earned it, commander.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CTO*: Okay Stuart, ready to receive..

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: takes the PADD disinterestedly. ::   XO:  Am I dismissed?

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: I have a good idea how to infiltrate the station's system already, Sir, shouldn't be too much of a problem. Given a bit of time.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: Sends the encrypted message to the CSO stating that he suspects the station administration of hiding something but he's not sure what. :: 

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Hell, no, commander! That was for your work before I made Executive officer, these last few weeks, I've been getting reports that you've been saying a few things which I have slipped by, but I feel now it Is my duty to remind you of the chain of command.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: I have every faith in you abilities Re.. Ensign . :: smiles towards Renee. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: continues standing. ::   XO:  What things?

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Continues to review the logs as for now, nothing unusual. :: 

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: smiles back levelly at Wuer and goes to her Ops station. Thank heaven she has good Ops personnel, and Engineering had better do a good job with them too. :: 

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: starts downloading the duty logs from the main computer so as to make it look like it's still only an efficiency review. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CTO*: Stuart received and understood, I had the same feelings, I'm hoping your TO informed you of my incline towards further enquiry regarding weapons failures on the Tal!

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Asking the FCO what she thinks about the new XO, some off hand comments about me and I believe one or two remarks about my command style. . ::  looks at Luchena. ::  CNS: Commander: Comments about me I don't mind, but I rather hear them while I'm there. But remarks about the command structure on this ship effects me, the captain and eventually the whole ship.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: While working on the logs, notes the suspicious look from the security officer they talked to earlier. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  I don't recall saying anything to anyone about your command style that I haven't said to your face.  . :: face has gone completely white with suppressed rage. :: 

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*CSO*: I'll see what else I can find, . :: lowers his tone. ::  I'm getting some shifty looks from a security officer here so I'm going to dig a little and contact you later. . :: then in normal tone. ::  MacAllister out.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*EO*: Any clues in your system diagnostics as to what may have caused the malfunction in the weapons systems Ensign?

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
. :: Still checking both consoles. ::  *CSO*: Not yet. As if it was caused from outside the ships systems. The logs don't show any abnormalities and the systems check out to be okay. I've downloaded the diagnostics logs to a PADD for later reviews.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: You got a problem with me Fine, talk to me! I do not want to hear anymore things from other people you have said about me. For me this matter is now closed and I did my job, your dismissed, unless you have something else.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. ::  Captures the look of the CTO and implying at the security officer watching them as a hawk. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*EO*: Okay keep up the good work Ensign . :: maybe that proved there was an external influence on the systems. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. :: Still continues to review the sensor logs. :: 

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
*CSO* Affirmative. . :: Then goes back to his cursing and console hitting habit as he keeps checking the screens for faults. :: 

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: looks up some standard programs currently in use in Starfleet to survey communications. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  I've talked to you.  You don't hear me.  For the last time, this is not about your glory.  This is about getting a job done.  The sooner you learn that, the safer your crew will be.  . :: hands the XO a PADD. ::   I've been transferred.  . :: turns and leaves the RR. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
. :: turns back to the sensor data. ::  Self: Engineering can't find anything wrong with the ships systems and neither can I, lets hope Stuart turns something up..

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
@. :: turns to the Security officer. ::  Sec: You want to tell me exactly why you are watching us so intently Crewman? You're giving the impression that you have something to hide.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Hold it. I think we have a misunderstanding here, commander!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: walks up to OPS and gives her a big wet one on the lips. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
. :: notices the CNS leave the RR. ::  CNS: Is everything okay Commander?

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: blinks and looses breath. ::  CNS: Couns.. ?

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
. :: follows the CNS and raises an eyebrow as he see the CNS snogging OPS. :: 

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
@. ::  While waiting for results from the sensor logs, observes the CTO talking to the Security officer. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
. :: starts to feel like all hell is breaking loose and his first bridge watch. :: 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
. :: heads to the TL. :: 

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CSO: Let him, Commander Luchena has been transferred. CNS: Good luck, commander.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
. :: clings to console and looks at the TL doors closing with a sinking feeling in her stomach. :: 

Host Martijn says:
<Sec Officer> @. :: glances up at the CTO. ::   CTO: You expect me to answer that question?  . :: sighs and returns to his work. :: 

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
XO: Well if nothing else Command has its excitement, Sir!
