CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::sat at the vessels flight control console:: CO: Did you get them?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Stands looking at the child, holding out her hand::  Child: I think it's time for you to give that back...

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: I got the crew, plus one

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::pulls his phaser on the child out of instinct and looks around to see if anyone noticed::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::turns round to see the CO with the child that just beamed in::

Host Child says:
::Looking innocent:: CO:  What are you looking for?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: We could use a cabin boy to swab the decks ::smiles and laughs a little menacingly in attempt to scare the child::

Host child says:
::Eyes go wide at the phaser:: CTO: DON"T SHOOT ME!!!

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
Child: I won't. ::smiles and turns slowly to look over his shoulder:: maybe.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: Put that away, otherwise you'll be cleaning up the urine puddle

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: Aye sir.

Host Child says:
::His eyes become puppydog eyes with tears in them.  He looks to the floor and suffles his feet.::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::slowly tucks his phaser deep into his clothes:: Child: My intention was not to startle you.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Moves towards the boy, and kneels down on the floor::  Child: I think you took something of mine, and i'd like it back.

Host Child says:
::Still defiant::  CO:  I'm no thief!

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::steps closer to the child:: Child: Is that so?

Host Child says:
::Looks at the CTO:: CTO:  Prove it!

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Talks softly, sending telepathically a feeling of warmth and trust::  Child: I didn't say you were, i may have dropped it, and you picked it up without knowing.  But we know you have it at the moment, and i'd like it back

Host Child says:
::One more look at the CTO and then runs behind the CSO.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: Hey Anny, we ain't got all day you know...

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
CO: Just let me shake it out of him.

Host Child says:
::Peaks between the CSO's legs.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Without taking her eyes off of the boy::  CSO: Continue course Tobe, we need to get there, and on time, preferably early

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::looks down at the Child:: Child: Whats you name lad?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Self: And i'm usually good with children, first a squid, now this!::

Host Child says:
::Looks up at the tall man..well taller then him.:: CSO:  Chase.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Child: Hey I'm not chasing anything for noone sunny....

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: Thati, it won't be any use.  And we need to take him with us, for the time being anyway

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::plops on the ground somewhat childishly::

Host Chase says:
CSO:  No silly!  That is my name.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: You want me to head to warp with him ::points to the child:: still on board...

Host Chase says:
::Sees the CTOon the floor.:: Self:  Ooooo wrestling.  ::Pounces on the CTO::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
~~~CSO: He has seen starfleet technology.  we need to keep hold of him until after the mission.  Can't risk the information leak.~~~

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::once again out of instinct he grabs the child quickly and slams him onto the ground restraining him:: Child: Not funny....

Host Chase says:
CTO:  Ouch!!! you broke my body!!  ::Tries to kick him::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Laughs at the sight of the child being pinned by Rowe::  CTO: Oh, indulge him for a little bit Thati

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Child: Hey.. so Chase d you want to go on a little adventure ::re checks the pre-set navigational co-ordinates::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
CO: Okay... ::picks the child up by the feet and holds him upside down shaking him:: CSO/CO: I'm good with children wouldn't you say? ::chuckles::

Host Chase says:
::Starts strieking with laughter.  The combadge falls out of his pocket.::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::grabs both feet with one hand and bends down to grab the combadge, he tosses it to the CO::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: All navigational systems online... course set.... intitiating warp.... ::initiates warp drive::

Host Chase says:
CTO:  HEy that is mine! ::speaks through the laughter.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Quickly snatches up the badge, and puts it securely pinned to the inside of her pocket::  Child: So, what do you say about an adventure with us?

Host Chase says:
::Still laughing.::  All:  Are we going to fight Orion Pirates?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::thinks of the pirate stories he read when he was younger:: All: Okay me hearties off to get them pirate scum.....

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::puts Chase down somewhat gently and grabs his seat again::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
All: Okay so maybe I should stay off the humour....

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::nods in the CSO's direction:: CSO: Agreed.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Toby::  CTO: So, what are we doing on this adventure of yours then?

Host Chase says:
::Decides that this this That....I guy is ok.  Almost like his big brother who died at the hands of the ORion Pirates.  Hopefully they will meet this Orion that killed his family.  He promised his Dad he would avenge them.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::smiles at Anny and turns his attention back to the console and checks there ETA::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
CO: I could use some target practice.....

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Goes and sits cross legged next to Chase::  Chase: So. tell us your story then...how did you get hold of your friend the squid? ::Smiles at him::

Host Chase says:
CTO:  oh oh oh... ::Jumps up and down.::  Can I shoot something!?!?!

Host Chase says:
::Looks down at the Capt.:: CO: Dunno, he just showed up one day.  He runs the little kids.

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::sighs and wonders how he always attracts kids:: Chase: No, end of story.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks utterly confused::  Chase: The squid you threw at me runs all you kids?

Host Chase says:
::Smiles sweetly up at him.::  CTO:  Yeah right.

Host Chase says:
CO: YEah, it's sentient.  It's a wierd one. ::Can't help but giggle.::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::is interested by the conversation between the CO and Chase, he turns to look at them::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Has a furrow in her brow, wondering why she couldn't read anything off of the squid when it was thrown at her if it was actually sentient::  Chase, so, is it a good boss?

Host Chase says:
::Continues to giggle.:: CO:  Sure... ::Winks at the Capt.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Slowly starts to smile:: Chase: So, what's it's name?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::keeps his eye on the sensors::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::stands up and moves toward the CSO::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
~~~CO: Something doesn’t feel right about this kid....Sir.~~~

ACTION:  Sensors go off.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
All : What the hell......

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::turns to glance at the CO making sure she understands what he means::

Host Chase says:
CO:  We just call him squid.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::watches as sensor system go down:: CO: I just lost sensors  ::checks they are still at warp::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Chase: But you know it's a him?  What kinda orders does he give you?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::moves to a console and starts tapping buttons:: CSO: I'm not an engineer you know. ::chuckles::

Host Chase says:
CO: He tells us to fetch this and that and when the police come he takews the blame for us.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Chase: What does he tell the police?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
~~~CTO: I'm trying to find out what i can...~~~

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::bangs the side of the console:: CO: Never mind every things seems okay, dam heap of junk

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::leans back in the seat and props his feet on the console::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Grins, and makes a face at Wuer, making sure Chase sees it::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::notices there heading up to a asteroid feield::

ACTION:  Suddenly loud thuds can be heard against the hull of the ship.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::drops out of warp::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::sighs and pulls up shields and such on his console::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
All: Seems we ran into an Asteroid Field

ACTION:  The warp field doesn't stop moving towards them.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Smiles reassuringly at Chase::  CSO: I have faith in your skills Toby,  But you want me doing anything in particular at a console?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::taps buttons and such:: CO/CSO: The asteroid field has some sort of magnetic properties.....I'll see if I can get anymore information.

Host Chase says:
CO:  Yeah I like to fire at something.

ACTION: An Asteriod approximately 5 miles wide is still heading for the ship.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::notices they haven;t dorpped out of warp:: CO: Anny seems were stuck at warp in an asteroid field.....

ACTION:  The ship drops out of warp.  A little late.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CTO: Hey Thati... maybe you could shoot that dam asteriod heading towards into tiny bits....

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Scrambles up, and jumps onto a console, in time to be thrown about a little as they drop out of warp::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::pulls up some weapons read-outs:: CSO: Easier said than done. ::attempts to fire what little weapons they have at the asteroid::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::feels the force of dropping out of warp;; CO: No wonder they gave us this cheap!

Host Chase says:
::Jumps up and down:: CSO:  Let me!! Let me!!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::Tries to acces manual control the maneuvering thrusters::

ACTION:  If they were outside the ship, the crew may have heard ping sounds.

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::tries not to laugh out loud:: CSO/CO: Well this thing isn't an Akira class, I don't think the shoot thing is going to work.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Chase: This ain't like dusting crops boy, let the adults handle this....

Host Chase says:
CSO:  Huh.... what are crops?

Host Chase says:
::Stands up right beside the CSO looking at the console.::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::tries to boost shield power::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: Just do what you can Thati

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Chase: You can watch, and maybe you might get to learn how to handle this...

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO: I've got manual control..... ::tries to steer the ship away from the large asteroid::

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::shakes his head:: CSO: Magnetic.... ::pulls up what he hopes to be more detailed scans of the asteroid::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CTO: The atsreoids magentic?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::wishes he had his own Science console::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Starts thinking, and has an idea, and starts tapping panels to see if it will work::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CTO: Anychance you could repolarize the hull?

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::nods:: CSO: I'll see what I can do.

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::chuckles:: CSO/CO: I think I got it. ::pushes a few buttons changing shield polarity::

ACTION: The polarity of the shields change but by only 70%.  The pull of the asteriod is still there but it has slowed down.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO/ CTO: That sort of worked.... were heading slower now....

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
CO/CSO: Maybe the pull is weak enough now engine power could pull us out?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO/CSO: You guys got there before me!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::tries the maneuvering thrusters again::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO/ CTO: What about shutting shields off altogether? Its a risk but it would sort of the polarity problem...

ACTION:  Slowly the ship pulls away.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
CO/ CSO: Seems we're starting to move away gradually.... hopefully we are out of the red

CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::looks over at Chase:: Chase: That is how you dust crops. ::smiles at the CSO::

Host Chase says:
::Throws up his hands.:: CTO:  But what are crops!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::laughs::  Chase: Lets just say drops are for dusting......
CTO_Ens_Rowe says:
::chuckles at the CSO:: CSO/CO: Why can't we have a normal day for once?

Host Chase says:
::Sighs and wonders what their fascination with housekeeping is all about.  Don't these people have cleanbots.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Chase: Hey well maybe it your turn to drive?

Host Chase says:
::Eyes go wide.:: CSO:  YAY!!!  ::Claps his hands::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Continues on with the previous conversation as if nothing happened::  Chase: So where is the squid now?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Chase: Want to see how to pilot a starship
