Summary: 

The Tal-War is on route to the Briar Patch on a dubious tip-off that the Archimedes could well be there.
Crystal is still occupying a space in the brig, while the CTO allowed OPS out for a while under guard and she has been confined to quarters.

Henderson, also brought aboard at Risa remains unconscious in sickbay.

What’s going on the crew still don't know, are they headed into a trap, will the CO and XO solve there mystery and does any of this make any sense........ the chaos continues

SO_Lt_York says:
::runs his hand through his beard as he steps into the TL and sighs:: TL: Bridge...

CEO_Quchant says:
*CSO*: here

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::straightens his uniform and moves to the front of the Bridge::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: in her quarters, reading an honest to goodness, paper and glue bound book ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::hands off to a duty pilot:: CSO: If you don't mind, I'm going to get something to eat, I've not eaten in the last few days.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*: Commander thought I had better inform you to prep for our destination

CEO_Quchant says:
*CSO*: Oh?  something to stress my engines?

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::looks to the FCO:: FCO: Sure we're going to need you on top form

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::notices the officer in the chair is busy, waits at attention::

SO_Lt_York says:
::steps onto the Bridge, and gives Wuer a dirty look, angry at him for 'stealing' Rynia for his barmy Trill ceremony....then walks over to SCI1::

<Lorehani>  ::Looks over at her husband listening to his comment about his engines.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::nods and heads for the lift::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::watches Foster as he leaves::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*: Could well be we're heading towards the Briar Patch, so you'll need to be ready for that and there a good chance we'll come up against resistance

CEO_Quchant says:
*CSO*: Great.  What sort of resistance?

<Lorehani> ::Chuckles as she hears the comm..::  Self:  Just another day at work.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::notices the ensign in the teal uniform and nods to indicate he will be with him ASAP::

SO_Lt_York says:
::brings his personalized layout online and starts preparing for intense electro-magnetic disturbances in the SRS::

CEO_Quchant says:
::notices several in engineering look up at the mention of the briar patch::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::begins running diagnostics on the weapons and targeting systems::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::rides the lift down to the right level and steps off, turning left and wandering off down the corridor::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*: We're headed towards the last indicated location of the ship we are looking for, but it could well be a trap

CEO_Quchant says:
*CSO*: Got it.  We'll be ready down here.  Engineering out

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*:Glad to hear it. Wuer out.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
CSO: Ensign Ren Ro'kar, reporting for duty, sir. ::looks at the colours of the officer:: Can I ask where the command staff are?

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::looks at the Ensign:: CMO: I am the Command Staff, the CO and XO are otherwise engaged, I presume your our other new assignment came onboard with the CEO?

CEO_Quchant says:
Engineering: Listen up people.  We're heading into the Briar patch so we need to lock down the engines for that area of space.   We could also get into a bit of a fight going after the ship we're looking for.  It might be a trap, so we need to give the boys and girls upstairs all the power they'll need at a moments notice.  Let's get to it.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
CSO: Yes sir, I am the new CMO of this vessel

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::arrives at a door with two rather jumpy looking guards outside it::

<Lorehani> ::Nods at Thomas and moves over to her console.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: A permanent CMO that could prove useful as we're headed into ACTION likely

SO_Lt_York says:
::his console beeps an angry sound as he tries to engage the sensors in a manner not permitted due to possible cascade failure::

<Brine> FCO: Can I help you, sir?

SO_Lt_York says:
::grunts and shakes his head slightly, never made that mistake before...::

CEO_Quchant says:
::gets several configuration questions and answers them in short order::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
CSO: Agreed, sir. With your permission I would like to assume my post, there is much to be done

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Well then I'll give you the pleasure of heading down and informing the ACMO Dr. Weeks that your taking over and also there’s a Commander Henderson down there could possibly do with your attention

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Dismissed

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns his chair around, and looks at the new assignee, having heard the conversation:: CMO: Hey kid, you our new Doctor?

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
Brine: You can step aside and let me in.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::looks down at the duty FCO:: Duty FCO: What our ETA Lt?

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: is oblivious to what is going on outside her door and continues to read ::

CEO_Quchant says:
::starts shutting down non-essential systems and unused decks and rooms::

<Brine> FCO: I could, but that would be somewhat irresponsible of me. If you'll let me know who you are, I can see if you're clear for entry.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
Brine: Who I am... Who I AM??? Boy you'd better move before I feed you to the CTO!

<Duty FCO>CSO: ETA 30 minutes, Sir

SO_Lt_York says:
::snaps his fingers:: CMO: Kid, I'm talking to you.

<Brine> FCO: I'm operating under the CTO's orders. I require you to give me your name, event though I know who you are, before I let you in.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::looks to CTO:: CTO: How's weapons systems? Ready for action Ensign?

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Our you still with us Doctor?

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
CSO: Everything show's green, Commander.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
CSO: Sorry sir ::looks back:: I'll be on my way

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
Brine: What are you a computer? if you know who I am then you know I'm cleared for entry, now step aside before I have you put on report for insubordination!

SO_Lt_York says:
Self: Are the acoustics all wrong? ::looks at the CMO annoyingly, then turns back to his station to get a status report::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::looks at the SO:: SO: I don't appreciate calling me kid, sir

CEO_Quchant says:
::looks at the shield configuration harmonics::

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks over his shoulder:: CMO: I don't care. I need something for a headache and I'm having a hard time concentrating.

<Brine> FCO: I don't see why you have to make this so difficult. Now, you can continue to get angry, sir, or you can give me your name; hell, just your last name would suffice.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: Will I need you to keep an eye out on the LRS I have a bad feeling about all this

SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: On it...sir.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::smiles thinly:: SO: That can be a serious problem, I recommend that you get relieved of duty if the problem persists

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Ensign, if you like to proceed to Sickbay, your dismissed

SO_Lt_York says:
CMO: Just give me a bloody pill or something, kid.

CEO_Quchant says:
::starts working on some of the engineering requests from all over the ship and denies most of them::

<Lorehani> ::Hands Quchant a PADD::

CEO_Quchant says:
Lore: Thanks  ::takes PADD::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
SO: The pills may interfere with your duties as an officer, sir. Please report to Sickbay if the problem persists. ::looks at the CSO:: CSO: Yes sir, I'm on my way now

SO_Lt_York says:
CMO: Then bring me a bloody chicken soup, god damnit...I'm busy.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::gets right in Brine's face like a mid 20th century Regimental Sergeant Major and shouts:: Brine: What is your major malfunction Petty Officer Brine?!?! Do you have a death wish or do you just enjoy annoying people?

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::smiles and walks into the TL::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::taps his COM Badge:: *CTO*: Sek!

SO_Lt_York says:
::grins and thinks he might have found someone new to annoy::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
*FCO*: Go ahead, commander.

<Brine> FCO: I'm a lieutenant...

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
*CTO*: Get this damn fool out of my face before I throw him at something.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
Brine: Not for long!

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
*FCO*: Did you give him your name?

ACTION: Time Jump, 20 minutes, the Tal-War is on approach to the Briar Patch

CEO_Quchant says:
::engineering is as is now the norm a bustle of efficient activity::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: closes her book and heads towards the kitchen :: Self:  The stupid butler did it, I'm sure of it.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::standing in the doorway quietly observes Sharra::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: Anything on sensors yet Will?  I don't like this at all.....

SO_Lt_York says:
::sees his sensors fuzz up:: CSO: Scan details diminishing sir. I can't see much.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::finally gets to doing his duties after sorting out the paperwork in Sickbay::

ACTION:  The coloured haze of the Briar Patch can be seen on the main screen

SO_Lt_York says:
::taps a power transfer request to Engineering on his station and sends it::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::picks up his tricorder and moves towards Henderson:: Anyone: What happened to this man?

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
Computer:  Glass of water, 15 degrees, and a ham sandwich.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::hums softly, watching the tactical scans::

Dr_Weeks says:
::Loaded down with PADDs he enters the CMO's office.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::quietly steps up behind Sharra:: Computer: Make that two.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*:Wuer to Engineering

CEO_Quchant says:
::notices a blinking power transfer request light and taps it hoping it'll go out::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: jumps and turns.  smacks Will on the shoulder :: FCO:  Don't do that!

CEO_Quchant says:
::it doesn't and sighs::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::looks at the PADDs:: Dr Weeks: You must be the ACMO

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::smiles:: OPS: But it's so much fun. ::grins::

CEO_Quchant says:
::notices the power is being requested for the sensors and notices where they are in relative to the patch and transfers the needed power::

SO_Lt_York says:
::narrows the grid::

SO_Lt_York says:
::his sensor resolution goes up due to increased power:: CSO: We're getting something.

Dr_Weeks says:
::Drops the PADDS onto the table.:: CMO:  Yes, As much fun as I had, I'm glad to see you.  ::Looks at the PADDs::  This is the last two weeks of medical emergencies.   This crew seems to have a lot of accidents.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*: Just thought you'd like to know we'll soon be entering the Briar Patch, so I hope your ready

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: chuckles at him :: FCO:  Yeah, well, you'd better be glad that I missed you or you'd be on the floor right now.  :: smiles at him ::

CEO_Quchant says:
*CSO*: We're ready.  Don't rock the ship too much and please try not to scratch the paint

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::grins again:: OPS You say that like it's a bad thing.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::puts the weapons on stand-by, ordering the torpedo tubes loaded and phaser banks charged::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: chuckles and gives him a peck on the cheek ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*:Why? Have we ran out of tins of Star ship grey? ::smiles to himself::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::turns in to the peck and kisses Sharra properly::

SO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Ensign, we'll have to share resources at this point. Sensory imaging is too badly affected deeper we go.

CEO_Quchant says:
*CSO*: No...but I have the science department down as next in line for "how to paint a star ship" training

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*CEO*: Point taken commander, Wuer out

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
SO: That's fine. I'm not too worried.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::neatens the pile up::  Weeks: I will deal with these later, would you mind walking with me as I do the preliminary rounds?

SO_Lt_York says:
::nods and slaves Tactical over to his grid::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
Duty FCO:  Take us in Lt.....

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::preps manual targeting in case they can't rely on the sensors::

SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: We're getting some information.......a class 4 comet, iron core.....normal stellar radiation at this point, subspace traffic....nothing out of the ordinary. Despite this whole area of space of course.

Dr_Weeks says:
::Hesitates a moment thinking of his orders from the XO.::  CMO:  Hmmmmm sure Doctor, but I do have an assignment from the XO I must complete but it can wait a moment.

ACTION: The Tal-War pushes its nose into the Briar Patch and edges in

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: leans into Will and puts her arm up around his neck and returns the kiss ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: I still don't like this, it all seems to easy

CEO_Quchant says:
::watches the readings on the main table go nuts as the Tal-War enters the patch::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::wraps his arms around Sharra and holds her close to him::

SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: Receiving a few Starfleet signatures within direct subspace communication, just normal traffic assigned to this sector.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*FCO*: Wuer to Foster

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::smiles:: Weeks: Good ::gets up off the chair and begins to walk to each bed in turn:: Weeks: What can you tell me about this officer over here? ::motions to Henderson::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: Any sign of the Archimedes transponder?

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
Self: Blast!

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
*CSO*: Go ahead Tobius.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::watches the viewscreen serenely, seeming as if he didn't have a care in the world::

SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: Scanning for it.....but no, just one of our Starbases and escorts assigned close by....no sign of the Archimedes as of yet. But LRS are not up to full efficiency.

Dr_Weeks says:
::Shrugs:: CMO:  Not much.  He was brought from the surface of Risa unconscious.  Dr Simons is in the process of examining him and trying to get a diagnosis.  All I know is, this is the man that the Tal War was suppose to meet but he disappeared and was found in this back room of some Klingon bar.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*FCO*: Will we just entered the Briar Patch, so I need my best pilot at the helm, so I hope you got that lunch!

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
*CSO*: Have I got time to finish my... err... Sandwich?

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::takes out his medical tricorder and begins to run a standard scan::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: takes the sandwich and hands it to Will :: FCO:  Eat on the run love.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*FCO*:You can eat it on the hop Mr. Foster, report to the bridge.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::kisses Sharra one more time:: OPS: Hold that thought, I'll be back. ::takes the sandwich and heads for the bridge::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: chuckles at him and shakes her head ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::feels a bit uneasy, he really needs to get himself back together as soon as the CO returns, he's going to get Xon to give him Inara back::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::arrives on the bridge finishing off his sandwich and heads for his console::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
Self: God I can't take this anymore, where the damn CO

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: About time Foster....I've slaved you into the grid I just put up, we're sharing information with TAC also. ::turns is chair around again and taps away::

CEO_Quchant says:
::deals with a few minor system fluctuations::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
FCO: Nice of you to join us, move us further in

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::raises his eyebrows at the sensor readings and takes his seat:: SO: How far can we see into this soup?

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
Aloud: Arghhhhh......

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::puts his hands to his head::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: Tobius, you ok? ::gets up::

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Oh about half a lightyear with little upto no detail, quarter light-year with grainy results, and a few thousand kilometers with a good view. ::Grins::

ACTION: The CSO falls out of the Big Char and collapses on the deck

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
SO: York, get a medic up here now! ::grabs the falling CSO::

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns around and stands up:: CTO: Call sickbay!

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::Taps his COM badge:: *CMO*: Medical emergency on the bridge.

ACTION: In sickbay Henderson begins to regain consciousness

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns over to the back of the Bridge and retrieves a Med pack and runs over to the limp form::

SO_Lt_York says:
::starts scanning Wuer::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::Looks up:: *CTO*: On my way. ::looks at the ACMO:: Weeks: tend to this man

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Computer: Beam me to the Bridge ::Picks up a medical kit::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::takes Wuer's pulse the old fashioned way::

<Henderson>Weeks: ::weekly:: what the.. where...

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::keeps his eyes on the scanners now that everyone else is distracted::

Dr_Weeks says:
::Hears Henderson::  Henderson:  Come on now...let's wake up.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
FCO: Commander, I'm picking something up... ::focuses the scanners::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Can you identify it?

<Henderson>Weeks: I feel like I died, where am I?

SO_Lt_York says:
::hands Foster the tricorder:: FCO: Here, his heart rate is 120, his BP 120/40....we need to get him to sickbay. ::runs back to his station::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
FCO: No idea, now it appears to be two different signatures. I suggest going to red alert.

ACTION: The CMO appears on the bridge in a transporter beam

Dr_Weeks says:
Henderson:  You are aboard the USS Tal War.... ::Continues to scan him.::

SO_Lt_York says:
::focuses the sensors all he can, bending over his chair, trying to work two consoles 
awkwardly::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::nods to York and goes over the data on the tricorder:: CTO: Do it and get the Chief Engineer up here.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
FCO: What happened? ::runs up to the CSO and begins his scans::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CMO: He started clutching his head and shouting in agony then collapsed. ::hands over the tricorder to the CMO::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::initiates red alert and taps his COM badge:: *CEO*: Commander, you are needed on the bridge. Commander Wuer has fallen unconscious, and you are now in command.

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO/CTO: Two contacts, can't isolate the signatures.

CEO_Quchant says:
*CTO*: Understood.

<Henderson>Weeks: The Tal-War, you rescued me, where are we now then.....

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Weapons status?

CEO_Quchant says:
Computer: Priority transport to the bridge

<AOPS_Lt_Nalla_Thell>  :: walks onto the bridge and relieves the duty OPS officer ::

Dr_Weeks says:
Henderson:  Well looks like you got yourself some cuts and bruises, nothing we can't fix.  ::Motions for a nurse::  We are either almost at or in the Briar Patch.

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Foster! Take us down on the Z-axis!

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::takes the tricorder and compares scans:: Self: Hmm

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Contacts are almost on top of us. CTO: Sek, recommend raising shields.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::leaps to his console and carries out the manoeuvre::

<Henderson> Weeks: ::looks afraid:: The Briar Patch, you no this almost defiantly a trap, get me the bridge

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
SO: Shields were raised as part of Red Alert procedure.

SO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Yes....good, good....keep up the good work....::distracted::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: smiles to herself and monitors ships systems ::

ACTION: The CEO appears on the bridge in a transporter beam

Dr_Weeks says:
Henderson:  I have no knowledge of the orders on the bridge... ::Hesitates::  Ok....  Computer:  
Emergency beam out to the bridge for two...::Holds onto Henderson::

CEO_Quchant says:
::looks around the bridge::

CEO_Quchant says:
All: Report!

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Computer: Beam myself and Wuer to Sickbay ::injects an Inpedrazine dosage into the man's neck::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Silence the bridge claxons! I can't hear myself think.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::cuts the noise::

ACTION: Weeks and Henderson beam into the bridge

SO_Lt_York says:
Foster: Just take us down.

CEO_Quchant says:
::walks over and sits in the centre seat::

Dr_Weeks says:
::Appears on the bridge with Henderson::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
SO: We're going down dammit!

SO_Lt_York says:
Foster: They are overloading the scanners this close to, the matrix grid is too focused!

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Good!

CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: Get us out of here.  Evasive maunders

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
SO: Can you get them on screen?

SO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Yes....::activates the screen::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CEO: Way ahead of you! ::moves the ship around looking for a clear path::

ACTION: The signatures move to the front of the ship and a Klingon BoP and a Nebula class appear on screen

CEO_Quchant says:
All: This is going to be fun....

<Henderson> ::uses all his energy to pull himself up of the floor and moves to in front on the CEO::

<Henderson>CEO: That what I feared they lured you hear to take the ship!
