SUMMARY:  The testing of the Cadets has been completed.  The field testing went well.  So well in fact that the klingons were impressed and have invited everyone for a celebration.  Not only that Admiral Xavier has won her bet.  New orders have arrived. The USS Rothchild has disappeared just outside Talosian space.  The Tal War is being sent in to investigate.

::sitting at the helm tapping away at the console and getting a good rhythm going::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::in his office humming the tune to the famous Lurian cooking program he watches a lot::

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::sitting in his office, typing evaluations::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::sat in the Big Chair TM::  XO: I can't wait to see the looks on the Klingons faces.... every been to Quo'NOS Commabder?

XO_Quchant says:
::grimaces as the Captain mispronounces the name of the klingon homeworld::

XO_Quchant says:
XO: Many times sir

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
CO: A problem?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::whistles as he goes over a padd::

XO_Quchant says:
CO: Problem?  no...I just can't tell you about some of the visits

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
Self: Now, if only the cadet had not put that dermal regenerator on maximum

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::rearranges the console configuration so it's back to the way he likes it after those cadets had fiddles with it::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::starts singing out loud getting carried away, starts gesturing emphatically::

Host Arlene says:
ACTION:  A shuttle approaches the Tal War.

XO_Quchant says:
CO: what is that awful noise?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@COM:Tal War:  Tal War this is Admiral Xavier, permission to come aboard?

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::walks to the replicator, his nose buried in his PADD::

XO_Quchant says:
CO: uh oh...the CTO's future mother in law is calling to visit

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::wonders where all these extra subroutines came from::

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::replicates his Rothchild special blend coffee and walks back to his desk::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
XO: How fun..... reckon she bet for or against us coming out on top?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::carries on loudly singing, stands up and walks around his desk as he sings deeply, padd in hand of the investigation::

XO_Quchant says:
CO: For us, I'm sure

XO_Quchant says:
::makes a note to have engineering check the internal comm system::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Drums her fingers on the console waiting for an answer.::

XO_Quchant says:
CO: I think you should answer her, before you ended up scrubbing the head

Host Adm_Xavier says:
ACTION:  The whole ship is now enjoying the CTO's singing.

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::pauses:: Computer: Computer, add accompaniment. Volume level 3.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::taps a command to access one of the subroutines to see what it does::

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::glances upwards at the speakers:: Aloud: If its not Klingon opera its the Lurian's singing... you'd think someone would fix that

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: Sorry Admiral..... come on in...  ::orders the shuttle bay to clear her to dock::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: I thought we were joining you on the surface?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@COM:CO:  Thank you Capt.  Please have yourself and Commander Quchant meet me in your ready room.   Would you by chance have any coffee handy?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::singing to the tune:: Aloud: Was it JONES!? Was it Xa--vi--er...?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
@COM: I've also got a chaser.... if you like....

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::winces at the sound:: *CTO*: Doctor Ro'kar to Zarn

XO_Quchant says:
CO: ::whispers:: something's up

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::carries on where a high pitched note comes up:: Aloud: I must fiiind...Ooooooooou ::stops half way through the note, composes himself:: *CMO*: Yes Doctor?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Angles the shuttle towards the shuttle bay.:: COM:CO:  Coffee is fine...I had enough chasers on the planet.  I don't think the Klingons have another beverage besides Blood Wine.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: I was hoping to sample the blood wine myself..... are the celebration on hold?

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
*CTO*: Are you ill, Lieutenant? Your pitch is 2 decibels off

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::gets up out of his chair::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
*CMO*: My...pitch... perhaps you would like to join me in a duet?

XO_Quchant says:
::gets up with the Captain and follows::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::decides to get rid of the extra subroutines after hearing that the admiral is coming aboard so as to avoid any mishaps::

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::laughs:: *CTO*: Fortunately for you, I am better at playing instruments than singing

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Slips into the shuttle bay and lands neatly.  Sven begins the power down but opens the door first.  Standing up she exits and heads straight for the door but not without acknowledging the people who are standing at attention.::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
*CMO*: How did you know... you know.. that I was singing?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
*CO*:  I'm afraid so Captain but I've assured our hosts that you will be back within 72 hours to partake.  You won't be missing anything.  I'll be on the bridge in 3 mins.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::walks into his ready room:: XO: You're right this doesn' sound good!

XO_Quchant says:
::follows into the RR and stands to one side::

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
*CTO*: It is being broadcast across the ship... Might I suggest checking your connection to the system?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Heads for the nearest turbolift and enters it.  She smiles at the young cadet who happens to bealready in it. ::  Computer:  Bridge.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::walks to his desk and takes four of his medication from his locked desk drawer and swallows them::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::pulls out a bottle of something blue:: XO: Fancy a quick one of these?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::talks calmly:: Aloud: And that will be available from Federation Records for 2 strips of latinum from stardate 10806.20. Thank you. ::sends a message to the enginnering section to fix it as he leaves, padd in hand:: *CMO*: Thank you..

XO_Quchant says:
CO:....er..no thank you

XO_Quchant says:
::makes a mental note to talk to the CMO::

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::smiles and shakes his head:: *CTO*: Anything to save you from letting the ship hear your talent before it has been refined with some singing lessons

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::walks into a turbolift and sees the Admiral in there:: Admiral: Oh hello there Admiral.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::takes a quick swig and puts it back in the drawer before the Admiral arrives::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::looks to the cadet, then back to the Admiral, then back to the cadet then down at the floor to cover a grin::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Feels the TL stop and the doors open.  She quickly steps onto the bridge but doesn't stop.  She heads straight to the ready room and enters.::  All:  Gentlemen

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Cadet: She's in a friendly mood today...didn't even say hi!

XO_Quchant says:
CO: I think she means us

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::watches the Admiral stroll straight across the bridge without a word::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::walks onto the bridge after the Admiral::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
ACTION:  The Cadet collapses against the wall.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
XO: Guess so ::sits behind his desk::  Xavier: Admiral  ::motions to a seat::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Quickly takes a seat.::  CO:  Coffee Captain?  I miss my coffee.

XO_Quchant says:
::goes over to the replicator::

XO_Quchant says:
::Gets coffee for everyone::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: We wanted to wait so it was fresh....  XO: Thank you Commander...

CMO_Lt_Rokar says:
::sips his coffee, still grinning at the CTO's singing::

XO_Quchant says:
::sits:::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
XO:  Thank you Thomas.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::wanders over to the center seat after noticing that the CO and XO also disappeared without saying much::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Takes a coffee then sips it.  She smiles.::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Don't you just hate when that happens?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::wonders where Xavier got to and dismisses it as he, without noticing, starts humming a sing again::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
All:  Gentlemen, are you familiar with the old saying, When it rains, it pours?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Self: Oh god shes smiling.....  ::returns the smile, more like a grimace::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::looks to the FCO:: FCO: When what happens? When the flight department makes it harder to shoot by accidentally jumping into warp all the time?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier:  It rarely pours in my home town on Tilius Prime...

XO_Quchant says:
Adm: Isn't that the subtext of the Starfleet Credo?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
All:  Well it's pouring Gentlemen.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier:  Ill get OPS to break out the waterproofs then....

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Think yourself lucky Gopher wasn't at the helm.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Face becomes serious.::  CO:  You may need them Captain.

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::glares at the FCO:: FCO: Don't say Gopher and Helm in the same sentence.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
All:  What do you know about the Talosians?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::becomes more somber himself as he realises the change in the admiral::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Them let us never speak of the cadet's performance again. ::grins::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
FCO: And I am aware I just did it... ::shudders::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: The Talosians..... I'm sure one of the former hosts worked in Talosian space....

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
FCO: A perfect idea. And performance isnt the word... Anyway... bumped into any black holes lately?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: Stranged insectiod like species.....

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Not in the last week or so... you?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
FCO: Nope... Nice weather..oh never mind... I've got an investigation to do.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: I know getting anywhere near there planet is death....  ::looks worried::
CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica Xavier>::looks up:: CTO: Oh. Good day, sir. ::walks towards him:: I was not expecting you to be here

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Yes General Order 7.  Nasty bit of business.  Well, the USS Rothchild has just disappeared just outside of their space.

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Jessica: Where did you expect me to be?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier:  Can Starleet not keep a tighet reighn on the Rothchild..... I presume we need to go to their aid....

Host Adm_Xavier says:
All:  The Tal War is hereby ordered to investigate.

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> CTO: In your office,sir. ::places the PADD on the console::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: I was until I had a comm glitch and had to stop singing.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: And does Starfleet lift General Order 7?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  And Captain, stay out of Talosian space.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  You know starfleet.  They are wishy washy when it comes to General Order 7.

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> CTO: You were singing? I couldn't hear anything above the racket of the machines in torpedo room one

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: But what if the Rothschild are in Talosian space, are we to abort?

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> CTO: What were you singing about?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  To be honest...I have no idea.

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::blushes:: Xavier: Soup...

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: And the investigation.

XO_Quchant says:
Adm: Has there been any contact with the Talosians since the incident with Fleet Captain Pike?

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> CTO: Interesting combination... ::glances around::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: How are you holding up?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
XO: Indeed!

Host Adm_Xavier says:
XO:  Not to my knowledge.  If there has been, it's sealed big time.

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> CTO: Fine... perfectly fine... sir

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: You seem distracted.

XO_Quchant says:
Adm: hmm..I may have to check and see if my intelligence credentials are still active then

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::taps out a rhythm on the arm of the chair::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: So basically we travel to the fringes of Talosian space.... scan for the Rothchild... and if it seems they could be further in... request further orders?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
XO:  Please do.  I don't want you to go in blind, but they are not giving my much information.

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> CTO: Huh? ::blinks:: No, sorry, I am all here, sir ::smiles slightly::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Or we don't want to know what you do.

CMO_LtRokar says:
::Walks out his office to attend to yet another case of space sickness::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: What's going on, Jess?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: With all due respect Admiral, I am not willing to risk the death penatly for my crew, or the cadets onboard for that matter

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> ::eyes narrow:: CTO: Nothing, sir. I am just tired, that's all

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Nods:: CO:  I understand, but this is what we pay you the big bucks for.  I will back you whatever decision you make.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
XO: I've very much like you to get right on with contacting SFI Commander  Xavier: That is if he can be excused?

XO_Quchant says:
Adm: Why is it so perative that the Rothschild be found?  There's got to be something really important on that ship if we're going to endanger General Order 7

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::nods at the Captain.::

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: Perhaps you'd like to go and get a drink after our shifts?

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
XO: Maybe you can find that out too.... dismissed Commander....

XO_Quchant says:
::gets up::

XO_Quchant says:
Both: Admiral, captain...

Host Adm_Xavier says:
XO:  You got it Commander.  There is a protype on board.  I'm not sure what it is, but the Vulcan Science acadamey will be sending you the specs.

XO_Quchant says:
::leaves and walks straight across the bridge into his own ready room::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::listens quietly to the CTO shamelessly flirting with the young cadet::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::heads to get another coffee:: Admiral: Will you be joing us?

XO_Quchant says:
::sits down at his desk::

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> CTO: Um... I don't know, sir. You are a great guy but....

XO_Quchant says:
*CMO*: Doctor...are you in your office?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: Say no more...

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO: No I have to return to earth.  Another endless conference I must attend.  You will be able to contact me through Sven at all times.

CMO_LtRokar says:
*XO* : I am in main sickbay, sir, give me a moment

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: Good old Sven.... are you sure you wish to keep the cadets onboard?

CMO_LtRokar says:
::walks back to his office and closes the door:: *XO*: Yes, Commander

XO_Quchant says:
*CMO*: I need you to do a full biological and physical work up on the Captain.  Make this a priority.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  We have no way to transport them back unfortunately.  The Klingons are about to conduct war games and have no ships to spare at the moment.

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier> ::sighs:: CTO: Perhaps after this investigation or... something, sir

XO_Quchant says:
*CMO*: Report your findings to me, and me alone

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
Xavier: That's okay... I understand. ::looks at his console and tries to look busy::

CMO_LtRokar says:
*XO*: Aye, sir. Is there a reason for this?

XO_Quchant says:
*CMO*: I hope not.

CMO_LtRokar says:
*XO*: Very well, then I will place your authorization on this request. Ro'kar out.

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier: So you'll wanting us straight out then.... and if that is all I shall take my leave

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Oh and one other thing Captain.  What about the investigation?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Stands up::

CMO_LtRokar says:
::starts to recall the CO's medical profile::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::stands up with the Admiral:: Xavier: Slow I am affraid... the XO has been dealing with it mainly..

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
Xavier:  Our CTO is somewhat over involved..

XO_Quchant says:
Computer: Computer, open a secure communications link between this console and Starfleet Intelligence HQ.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::wonders wether he was imagining things or if the XO really did walk from one RR to the other without a word::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  I want to see everything you have before you leave.  ::Pauses a moment::  I'm concerned about Jessica.  She will be a good officer but......

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Over involved?

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::bangs his padd in frustration on the console::

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::picks up a PADD from his desk and hands it too the Admiral:: Xavier: Thats the lot... you may not like some of the thingd linking Jessica and the CTO they have become close...  ::bites his lip::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Careful Zarn... that console doesn't like being hit.

XO_Quchant says:
<Computer> XO: Authorization required

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
FCO: Permission to leave the bridge, Sir. I have an investigation to finish.

XO_Quchant says:
Computer: Authorization Quchant, Zed Zed Nine Plural Zed Alpha

XO_Quchant says:
<Computer> XO: Accessing, Stand by

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::walks towards the door, waiting for a big responce::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
::looks at the PADD she was given and frowns.::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  I will speak with you when you get back.  In the mean time will you please look out for me niece.  Don't let her get in over her head.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Granted... it's not like we're going anywhere at the moment.

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
FCO: Thank you. ::walks away and pauses next to Xavier:: Xavier: Sorry.

CTO_LtJG_Zarn says:
::walks into the turbolift wishing he had a big Gopher to hit, turns and looks at Jessica as the turbolift doors close::

CMO_LtRokar says:
Compuer: Run a remote scan on the Captain

CMO_LtRokar says:
<Jessica_Xavier>::looks at the CTO as he leaves::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::wonders if the CTO is going Gopher hunting then smiles::

XO_Quchant says:
<Computer> XO: Starfleet Intelligence HQ connection established

CMO_LtRokar says:
Self: That is strange...

Host CO_Cpt_Wuer says:
::walks out on to the bridge and sees Jessica::  Xavier: I'll see her alright Sir
