CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::exits his office, stretching his arms::
CEO_Quchant says:
::heading up to the bridge::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::heads to the bridge with the CEO::  CEO:  Seems the CO really is not well
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: So I hear.  What's the prognosis
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
::is sitting on the bridge at her station, monitoring ships systems ::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::walks out of the TL after bringing Rynia to the Sickbay, against her wishes of course....and heads for his console on the Bridge::
CTO_Lt_Zarn says:
::heads to the bridge as fast as he can trying to remember the layout of the ship::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::sitting at the flight console thankful that Gopher hadn't changed too much::
 Gopher says:
::Sitting in the centre chair::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::approaches the comatose figure of the CO and begins to look over the scans::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CEO: Waiting on Rokar, now he has his sickbay maybe he can do something for him....
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: Yes I hope so
CEO_Quchant says:
::arrives at the bridge::
CTO_Lt_Zarn says:
::walks onto the bridge and steps out confidently, suddenly stopping with a confused look on his face::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::walks out onto the bridge, wonders how the others got there first::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::frowns and redoes the scan:: Self: Typical Bajoran complications
 Gopher says:
::Sees Wuer and stands up.::
CEO_Quchant says:
::goes to the engineering station::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::Starts running a scan on the Klingon ship::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::shifts about in his chair and adjusts it slightly::
CTO_Lt_Zarn says:
::gestures to a console, then takes a step towards it, then pauses as he sees the CEO heading there, then turns:: Self: Ah yes, there it is... Not used to this layout.
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
Gopher: I never thought I'd be so glad to see you  ::puts out his hand::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
*CO*: Doctor Ro'kar to Commander Wuer, I have the Captain's test results
 Gopher says:
::Grins:: CO:  Thank you Sir, was glad to help... Auntie Rachel thought this would go far in showing that I'm not always a total screw up.  ::Takes Wuer's hand::
CEO_Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: How does the engine room look
CTO_Lt_Zarn says:
::gets to his console and reads it:: Aloud: Tactical Console one... perfect. ::starts configuring it to his liking::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::shakes Gophers hand and then taps his comm. badge sitting himself down in the Big Chair TM::
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: continues to monitor communications channels ::
CTO_Lt_Zarn says:
Gopher: So you're the one who took all my kills?
 Lorehani says:
*CEO*:  It looks great, it's all shiny and new... ::Fingers are flying over the console.::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
*CMO*: Is it bad?
CEO_Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: Lovely, it's going to take hours to reconfigure it to something efficient then
 Gopher says:
::Looks at the new comer up and down and decides that he is a threat.::  CTO:  And your point?
CSO_Lt_York says:
All: Who messed with the systems? I spend weeks getting them to work 'just' the way I want them, and then some stupid Starfleet engineers take it all apart ! ::starts a level 3 diagnostic::
 Lorehani says:
CEO:  Yeah, basically... so stop bothering me and let me do my job.
CEO_Quchant says:
CSO: I hear ya...shipyard engineers have no idea how life on a ship is
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Gopher: Just saying... I weakened them up first... So technically it wasn't that good...
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
*CO*: Sir, I'd prefer to speak to you in private about it.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CEO: I just mean engineers in general....::turns back to his work::
 Gopher says:
::Scoffs::  CTO:  Yeah right....that is what they all say.
CEO_Quchant says:
CSO: Lt, I remind you that insubordination is still an offence
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::overhears Gopher and the CTO and grins::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
*CMO*: Okay Lt, you'll have to head up here then.... Wuer out.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Gopher: You even flew the ship through the debris... typical newbie mistake. Could have damaged the Tal-War...
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Whats the status with the Klingons?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::smirks and continues bringing up the data on the new systems:: CEO: Scientific systems at 100% sir.
 Gopher says:
::Takes offense and socks the Lurian in the nose::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::nods to himself:: Sav'yor: I'm heading up to the Bridge, monitor the CO's condition and keep him warm
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::doesn't budge off the spot, but looks at Gopher::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::walks out the room and heads for the turbolift::
CEO_Quchant says:
CSO: Good.  Scan the Klingon ship for a weakness we can exploit, something to disable them
 Gopher says:
::Pales and freezes::  Self:  Ooops  
CSO_Lt_York says:
CEO: Something like the huge gap in their side we made earlier, sir?
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::picks up Gopher with one hand, walks to the turbolift, throws him in:: TL: Waste management.
CEO_Quchant says:
CSO: Certainly an option should it come to it.  I'd prefer something that would disable them over destroy them though
CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CTO: Could you put the Lt. down and tell me about the klingons!
CSO_Lt_York says:
CEO: The gunner is your man then, I'm a scientist, not a tactical officer. ::motions for the CTO::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CO: Sorry Sir. ::gets back to his console:: What is it with me joining ships? Always someone wants to fight. ::checks the status::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::exits the turbolift and looks around the bridge::
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: Sir, while the janitor has been cleaning up, the CSO and I have hypothesized that we could blast the Klingons through the hole we made getting out
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
OPS:  Sharra... can you open a comm to the Klingons?
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
CO: I can try Sir.
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: Would cause major internal damage
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CO: Their engines are disabled, but weapons online... Personally I would have targeted the weapons first...
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: taps at her console :: CO:  Channel open.
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CEO: I don't want to do too much harm, but I'll keep that option
CSO_Lt_York says:
::tries adjusting his chair to his liking, and silently cursing engineers::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::moves to the side of the central area and waits for the CO to finish his business::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::looks at the CSO and sighs:: Self: At least he gets a chair...
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
COM: Klingons:  You know that you have no chance now Old Friend.... stop this fooling about now, before you’re the laughing stock of the High Council

ACTION:  Several volleys come from the surface of the Gorn homeworld aimed straight at the Klingon ship.

CSO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Well, I'm going to live longer than you anyway. So it's worth it in the budget.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CO: Sir, weapons fire from the surface... CSO: Not if you say something I don't like.
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::notices the CMO and points towards the ready room::
 Klingons says:
@ COM:CO:  I will go out in a blaze of glory.  I will go to Sto'vo'kor....It's been good to know you my friend.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::taps some controls to turn the ship in such a way as to say to the Klingons "nyah nyah we have engines"::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks at the CTO......:: CTO: Hey, you like whiskey?
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CSO: Naturally.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::just smiles and continues his work::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::nods and walks towards the ready room::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
COM: Klingons: Your a fool..... but an honorable one.... ::listens as the comm goes dead::

ACTION:  The Klingon Vessels blows, the fireworks spectacular.

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CO: Sir, I don't know why we want to do this being as it's..you know.. the Klingons who betrayed us and all that... But permission to try and .. ::watches the Klingon vessel blow up:: Never mind.
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::pauses, watching the ship blow up, saying a silent prayer::
CEO_Quchant says:
CSO: I think we can scratch the plan to shoot the hole we created
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: squints at the screen as the filters hurry to compensate ::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::allows the sadness to wave over him:: CEO: You have the bridge.... I need to speak with the CMO

ACTION:  the Gorn now turn on the Tal War.

CEO_Quchant says:
CO: Aye
CEO_Quchant says:
::heads down to the center chair::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::heads to the ready room, allowing the CMO to following him in::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CO: Um Sir...just a second.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::looks at the Gorn:: Self: uh oh.
CEO_Quchant says:
::looks at the tactical display::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CO: The lizard people seem to want a piece of the Tal-War.
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::follows the CO:: CO: Coffee, Commander?
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: The Gorn defense systems are targeting us.
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: listens to the COM channels ::
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: Get us out of range
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CEO: Now I can try and destroy an entire defense network with one ship, or we'd better get out of here.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
OPS: Let's give these overgrown geckos a run for their money. ::engages evasive maneuvers::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::stumbles as they are hit:: CMO: Better make this quick...
CEO_Quchant says:
CTO: I'd prefer a tactical retreat
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CEO: I hate it when they call it that...
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
CO: I'll try, Commander. ::motions to the seat::
CEO_Quchant says:
CTO: you can call it whatever you want when you're still alive Lt.
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::perches on the edge of the COs desk:: CMO: Well spit it out ::doesn't like the look on the CMO's face::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CEO: Oh I agree. In the last 12 hours I've been attacked by Security Officers, Smelly Klingons and now the Gorn...
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: Let's put some distance between us and the planet
CSO_Lt_York says:
::arches his back:: CTO: Just do what he says, easier than trying to come up with something better. He'll just have your ear all day. ::said silently::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
CO: The Captain is very ill, he needs to be taken to the nearest starbase, sir.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CEO: Oh and that little puke... Gopher.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CEO: You read my mind Thomas. ::engages at an escape vector at warp 3::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::begins a tactical retreat, with movement orders coordinated to the FCO. ::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
CO: Because of his Bajoran physiology, the Thelusian flu has started to take its toll on his body - he would be in much better hands in a hospital and not in space
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: And what are his chances?  Can you do little for him here?
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
CO: He will survive, but he needs plenty of rest and a dedicated medical team - something I cannot give on this vessel. ::pauses:: I am sorry, Commander
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::looks to the CSO and nods slightly::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Okay Lt... you just keep him comfortable...  ::heads out onto the bridge::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
CO: Aye, Commander. ::follows the CO out of the room::
CEO_Quchant says:
::Gets up from the chair as the CO appears back on the bridge::
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: We're putting some distance between us and the Gorns.  Their defense systems were targeting us
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CEO: If the Gorn aren’t chasing us, I want a heading set for the nearest starbase.... and we need to make it quick....
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CEO: Otherwise your in for an unpleasant promotion
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: You heard the man. Maximum warp
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::proceeds to the Turbolift: Computer: Sickbay
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: All promotions turn out to be unpleasant eventually
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::nods and speeds up::
CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CEO: Isn't that the truth....  ::whispers:: the Captain is in a really bad way....
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: ::nods:: I see.
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::enters Sickbay again and returns to Karr's side::
CEO_Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: Full power to the engines.  We're going to test the upgrades
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: Commander.  Open her up.
 Lorehani says:
*CEO*:  Aye Sir...Just don't blow them up.  They are brand new.
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
CEO: Lets see if they got it right this time....
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::places his hand on the man's shoulder:: Karr: We'll get you there safely, Karr. Just hold on.
CEO_Quchant says:
CO: I sure hope so.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::starts his Log: New on the death list, a little man called Gopher::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CEO: Ok but if I break the engines, you get to explain it to your other half. ::grins::
Kyti says:
CMO:  I know your doing all you can for him.
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: She'll understand.  push them to the limit...and then a little bit more than that
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::walks around the bridge, not happy to sit in the seat, with the information the CMO gave him::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CSO: Um... what department is Gopher in?

ACTION:  the Admiral is now on the comms.  The comms console beeps.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::starts really pushing the engines:: OPS: Can you shunt additional power to the Inertial Dampeners?
CSO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Operations I believe......he just happens to pop up here and there.
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::smiles slightly:: Kyti: Thank you for your words of confidence
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
FCO:  Aye.  :: taps at her console ::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CSO: Better not find him touching any tactical systems.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Yeah, good luck with that.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CSO: Or even phasers without my permission. Or even the hooks where the phasers go.
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::chants in Bajoran as he adjusts the settings:: Self: Jia'kaja, tre'nu'tol'a rem... La'por i'lanu kos... I'nar tan'a'tali nor....
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Sir, the Admiral is hailing.
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::notices the beeping from OPS::  OPS: On screen Commander...
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::taps in a course and presses the button someone has marked "go very very fast"::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::wonders if the CTO knows who Gopher is related to....and decides not to say:: CTO: Give him the beating of his life if he does. ::smirks::
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
CO: Aye Sir.  :; taps at her console :: On Screen.
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
COM: Xavier:  Admiral....
CEO_Quchant says:
::starts feeling the vibrations in the deck plates attuned to the ship as all engineers are::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::looks up at the screen and is reminded of someone... but can't pinpoint it.::
 Adm_Xavier says:
@COM:CO:  Ahhhhh Wuer, it's good to see you.  I take it my nephew made it to your location in one piece.... ;;pauses a moment::  The ship is in one piece right?
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Self: Nephew... ::pauses:: Noooo....
CSO_Lt_York says:
::chuckles::
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::looks to the CSO:: CSO: Just how much Whiskey do you have?
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:; hears the CTO and stifles a chuckle ::
CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: Yes, quite underestimated is your nephew... Commander Quchant did have the paint ready for him if he made any scratches though ::smiles::
CSO_Lt_York says:
CTO: From last time on Earth, 3 bottles of the finest.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CSO: I'll buy them all off you.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Not a chance in hell, gunny.
 Adm_Xavier says:
@COM:CO:  Ahhh good because it has just been repainted.  Just be sure to use a toothbrush if it's scratched.  Ok Love I need to speak to the captain...is he available?
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CSO: Regurgitated Latinum isn't your thing?
CSO_Lt_York says:
CTO: I have no need for it...
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
CSO: Well I don't really care if he was the Admiral herself, I'd have done the same thing. Albeit a bit more...kinky. ::quietly::
OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: looks quickly around at Wuer, wondering what he is going to tell the Admiral ::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
::injects a dose of Neodextraline Solution into Karr's neck::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::monitors the stresses on the ships hull and decides she can go a leeeeeeetle faster::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
::his face drops::  COM: Xavier:  The Captain is currently unavailable. ::thinks the crew will find out eventually anyway::  he is currently extremely ill with Thelusian flu....
CSO_Lt_York says:
::just laughs::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: .....we're trying to make best time to the nearest starbase...
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sits up straight:: Self: What....?
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::is sure he heard a creak:: FCO: Can't this thing go any faster?
 Adm_Xavier says:
@::Is quiet for a moment...:: COM:CO:  I see, make your way to DS 102 and I'll meet you there.....
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Self: I thought he was... but... oh I give up...
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: You wanna drive?
Kyti says:
CMO:  How is he doing.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
FCO: If you are offering.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::thinks to himself the only remotely cool command officer he knows is extremely ill, and for the first time in years says a short prayer::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
COM: Xavier:  Okay Sir.... Tal-War out.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Don't make me come back there. ::grins::
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
Kyti: He's stable, but the flu has taken a lot out of him - I can only keep him warm and stable until the station's medical staff can take over
CMO_LtJG_Rokar says:
Self: The Prophets will guide him now ::smiles slightly at Kyti::
 CO_Cmdr_Wuer says:
FCO: Are we on course for DS 102?  And what’s our ETA?  As you obviously realize now time is our enemy!
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Last time I checked we were, and at this rate we'll be there in about 3 hours.
Kyti says:
:: nods ::  CMO:  I know, I know.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Self: Strange. I thought it were the Gorn. ::sighs silently::
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: Increase speed
 Gopher says:
::Is in his hidey hole with his conspirators plotting against a huge Lurian who had the nerve to toss him into the TL.::  All:  What about itching power in his hand grenades?
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CEO: I trust you have seen the readings... if I push her much harder she'll vibrate to pieces if she isn't ripped apart from the sheer velocity.
CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
FCO: Told you, you should have let me drive.
CEO_Quchant says:
FCO: She'll handle a little more.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::grins:: OPS: Take power from the Tactical systems and shunt them to Inertial dampeners and Structural integrity... let's see how cocky he is without his weapons.
