CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge, having just left Sickbay with his new eye implant::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::on the bridge, thinking about what she knows about Vulcan::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::in The Big Chair [tm]::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: looks up :: CIV:  Looking good Thalev.
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: on the bridge, practicing his Vulcan styled speech and a dead serious face ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods to the CSO as he enters, still trying to adjust to his new slightly impaired vision then turns to the XO:: XO: I wish I could 'look' good... it feels so different.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::nods back to the CIV, attempting to smile reassuringly::
Torik says:
@*Silek*: Silek report
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CIV:  You look fine Thalev.  :: smiles ::
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: moves his eyebrows up and down, one at a time, until he is certain he gets the movement right ::
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: time to Vulcan?
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::looks around at the desert and is startled by the noise::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods to her:: XO: Thank you. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to these lectures. Everyone is going to be prodding and staring and I don't even feel comfortable looking in the mirror just yet.
Torik says:
@::looks down at the footprints in the sand::
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::bangs his communicator on his chest::  Torik: Who the hell is this?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO: 2 days at warp 5, Sir.
Torik says:
@*Silek*: I am Torik
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Captain, As Chief of Science I feel that I should remain with Commander Idrani when we reach Vulcan
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ *Torik*: Do I know you?
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: That's not bad.  when are we due to arrive?
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: You know how Vulcan will want us to be on time
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::looks to the CSO::
Torik says:
@*Silek*: I have been sent to how do the humans say this? To bring you back
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::looks at the CIV and keeps talking:: CO: I can function both as the go between the science team on the ship and the Vulcan Science Academy lecturers
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Oh, I know Sir.  And we are due there in 3 days.
Torik says:
@::continues to follow the footprints::
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: that's good...we can spend a day getting acclimated to the damn heat
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  I know and I'm gonna need it.  I hate that heat.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: that's a good idea.  Can you contact the VSA and get a lecture schedule
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ *Torik*: I'm in the middle of the desert... and I'm busy.

ACTION:  The bridge lights dim signaling the end of Alpha shift.  The bridge becomes a flurry of activity as the people as shift change begins.

Torik says:
@*Silek*: Interesting, and just exactly would you be doing in the middle of a desert?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::feels it was a long day::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Aye sir, sending a message now, my relief will keep an eye out for the reply.
CO Capt Quchant says:
::Stands and turn to the CSO::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Your bridge.  Don't break anything.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: looks at the CO and stands as well ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ *Torik*: Attempting to ignore you... and not doing a good job.... ::takes off his com badge and throws it over his shoulder::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::walks towards the turbo lift::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::goes over to the spare seat in the command centre::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: grins and follows the CO ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::stiffens and looks at the Captain:: CO: Aye, aye Captain

ACTION:  The console on the Capt's chairs spits out electricity.

CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: pulls out a phaser and looks around ::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Would you care to join us in the bar?
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: or would you prefer to shoot my chair
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Would you mind contacting engineering and getting them to sort that out.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: chuckles behind her hand ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::as he sits, sees the COs chair sparking:: *Eng*: Bridge to Engineering, the Captains console on the bridge needs maintenance, unless it is designed to have a firework display at the end of every shift.
Torik says:
@Self: Hmmm an interesting person
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
CTO LtJG Koval says:
CO: Oh, sorry. :: puts his phaser away:: I'll join you in a minute, have to close up a few loose ends here.
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: works on his console ::
Torik says:
*Planetary OPS*: Would you please be so kind as to beam Mr. Silek to a holding cell
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Make sure it's fixed before we get to Vulcan please
CO Capt Quchant says:
::gets in the turbo lift::
CO Capt Quchant says:
TL: Five Forward
EO MacKenzie says:
*CIV*: Engineering to bridge.... I'll get one up there right away Eh!
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  It seems Thalev has it well in hand.  :: gets in the turbo lift behind the CO ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: Thank you, Commander
Host Arlene says:
@<Planetary OPS> Torik: I can do so.  ::Finds Silek's com signal and locks on.::  He will be in Barrack 5 section 42 level 7.  :Beams the man out.::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
*EO*: Thank you. CSO: No problem.
Torik says:
@*Planetary OPS*:Thank you and would you be so kind as to beam me to the facility as well
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: moves away from his console and signals Ensign Generic to take his place ::
EO MacKenzie says:
:: whistles a song and head to the turbo lift with a toolkit in hand::
Planetary OPS says:
@Torik:  No problem.  ::Beams Torik into the same cell as Silek.::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: First time in command of the bridge?
CTO LtJG Koval says:
CSO/CIV: Have a wonderful time. :: proceeds to the turbo lift ::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::arrives at Deck 5 and wanders down the hall to the bar::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CTO: And you have a wonderful sonic shower.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::takes a seat on the other side of the sparking chair:: CIV: Yes, Commander. This came as a bit of surprise to me
CTO LtJG Koval says:
CIV: Right after an ale. :: smiles and enters the turbo lift ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::looks around the holding cell and sees someone materialize:: Torik: You would be Torik?  ::moves his lirpa from his left to his right hand::
CTO LtJG Koval says:
TL: Five Forward.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::sniffs:: CTO: I just assumed... never mind. Have a good one.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: follows behind the CO ::  CO:  How do you feel about this "conference", Sir?
Torik says:
@Silek: You would presume correctly
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: it should be a welcome change.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: Well your superiors must think you ready. You should take some pride in that.
CO Capt Quchant says:
::Walks into the bar and orders a Guinness::
Vulcan High Command says:
@COM: Tal War:  Tal War this is the Vulcan High Command.  I would talk to the one in Charge.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::looks around:: Torik: We are in a holding cell. You did this?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO: I assume so.  :: orders a rye ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: I do. And I appreciate you staying on the Bridge, it is not completely necessary
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: exits the turbo lift at Deck 5, and follows the footsteps of the Captain and the XO ::
Torik says:
@Silek: I did
Torik says:
@Silek: You seem to have cut a fine swathe during your stay
CO Capt Quchant says:
::takes a large swig from the glass::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
COM: Vulcan High Command: This is Ensign Amuz, I am currently in charge
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: That is okay; I don't feel like going to my quarters just yet. ::gestures to the CSO for the comm.:: CSO: I'll just sit here and look pretty/
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: sips her drink ::  CO: I'm not sure I like the idea of Lorehani and Thalev being prodded and poked.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@Torik: No one is dead.... yet.  ::sees a bench and sits down::
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: I don't know...I quite like the idea of poking Lorehani
CO Capt Quchant says:
::winks at the XO::
EO MacKenzie says:
::exits the bridge:: All : How's it going Eh?   Where is the problem?
Torik says:
@Silek: yes you have shown some restraint
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Care to join us?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: almost spits her drink and giggles ::
Vulcan High Command says:
@COM:CSO:  How illogical to leave an Ensign in charge.  We have one of your members in our holding cell.  He was running around the desert waving his lirpa and was de-clothed a bit.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: Commander, can you deal with the Engineer, please.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@::shrugs:: Torik: So now what?
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: enters the bar and joins the CO and XO at their table ::
CTO LtJG Koval says:
CO/XO: Hello again.
Torik says:
@Silek: That depends upon you
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  I knew you had it in you Sir.  :: laughs ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::stands up:: COM: Vulcan High Command: One of our members? Has he or she told you his or her name?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
EO: Yes, this chair over here. ::gestures::
Torik says:
@:: sits opposite Silek::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Well...you should have it relatively easy on Vulcan.  Shouldn't be anything shooting at us while we are there
CEO Ens Silek says:
@Torik: ::shrugs again and raises hand:: Torik: I won't kill anyone.... Happy?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::dislikes Vulcans::
Vulcan High Command says:
@COM: CSO:  How many Vulcans are on your ship.  It would be Ensign Silek.
Torik says:
@Silek: In a fashion you could say
EO MacKenzie says:
CIV : Not a problem.... ::drops to the floor and gets to work::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CTO:  Hello Ensign.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
COM: Vulcan High Command: And has he been charged with any crimes? Apart from running around with a weapon and being slightly de-clothed?
Torik says:
@Silek: You have allowed your emotions to get the better of you
Vulcan High Command says:
@COM: CSO:  I'm figuratively disturbed that you do not find that disturbing.
CTO LtJG Koval says:
CO: I've been working on my Vulcan act all day, even dug up this from my drawers. :: reaches to his pocket and takes out a small transparent box, containing a Vulcan IDIC symbol, intended to be worn on a dress uniform ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::watches the EO drop and wonders why he didn't just go down softly::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
COM: Vulcan High Command: Sir, personal thoughts are irrelevant to this situation. My priority at this point is to ascertain whether he has committed any crimes, if he is a threat to others and his condition
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Vulcan act?  do you do twenty minutes and then tell them to try the veal?
CEO Ens Silek says:
@::shrugs:: Torik: If I would have remained calmed... I would be dead.... Someone planned to murder me during Pon Farr... so I am..... coping.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: this time does spit her drink when she laughs ::  CO:  Warn somebody next time.  :: continues to laugh ::
Torik says:
@::places his hands in his lap, his fingers interlaced:: Silek: And why would someone wish you dead?
Vulcan High Command says:
@COM: CSO:  He is just finishing or just finished taking part in his Pon Far ceremony... We have excerpts from his fight for his betrothed....It did not end well.  Have you seen a Vulcan when he has lost control?
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: What would be the fun in that?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::covers a laugh when he hears of a Vulcan losing control::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: Busy?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: chuckles and shakes her head ::  CO:  True Sir, too true.
Lorehani says:
*CO*:  Just trying to figure out how to cover this metal thing on my forehead.
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: chuckles:: CO: No, nothing like that. I got a message from my mother the other day, apparently she caught wind of our visit to Vulcan and told me to behave.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
COM: Vulcan High Command: I can understand that they can be violent, overly emotional and dangerous until they complete their 'ceremony' ::keeps a straight face::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: well come take a break in the bar
Vulcan High Command says:
@COM: CSO:  Then logic dictates...................::Pauses a moment::  Is there someone there who has more then five minutes in Starfleet that will take this seriously?
Lorehani says:
*CO*:  Well I don't know....this thing is an eye sore.  You sure you want to see it?
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: well...you could wear a pair of matching earrings
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CTO:  Well, I don't think behaving around Vulcans will be a problem.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: VHC: I assure you Ensign Amuz is very concerned for the well being of a fellow crewmember. ::stands::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: and of course I want to be seen out in public with you
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ Torik: Let me give you the "short" version... T'Lan did not want to be married to me... her "champion" was aware he was going to a fight... where I thought I was going to a wedding.... so... I was at a disadvantage.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ Torik: So... I clubbed him....  I restrained myself... I could have killed him.
Lorehani says:
*CO*: You are bad husband. ::Tries to resist the urge to laugh::  Ok, you can slay the ones who dare to laugh. I'll be there in a few minutes.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::stiffens and twitches slightly:: COM: Vulcan High Command: Sir, from my perspective, all I can do is notify my Commanding Officer of his situation. We cannot speed up our journey anymore than we have, so as a Federation member you are required to look after our crewmember until we arrive
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: Slaying is too good for them.  I'll just assign them to baby sit Lt. Gopher
Torik says:
@Silek: Yes you did show great restraint. So you won the challenge, as tradition dictates she is now yours
Lorehani says:
*CO*:  That works for me.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
COM: Vulcan High Command: If anything, he is in the best possible hands since as his kin you are most familiar with how to deal with this situation
Vulcan High Command says:
COM: CSO:  Then do so.  Vulcan out.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::shakes head:: Torik: True... but I released the witch.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: chuckles ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::shakes her head slightly and sits down again:: *CO*: Bridge to Captain Quchant
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: Then do so... what?
Torik says:
@Silek: An honourable thing to do as the Klingon would say. But yet you feel regret and anger at your actions
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CSO*: Quchant here
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: sips at her drink and listens to the CO and CSO ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
*CO*: Captain we received a transmission from Vulcan High Command. They have picked up Ensign Silek and have him in a holding cell. Apparently his 'ceremony' did not end well
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CSO*: They rarely do
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ Torik: No... I don't feel anger for my actions... I feel anger for HER actions... difference...  ::shrugs:: So... are we going to sit here all day?  ::lays back on puts feet up::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CSO*: Is he injured?
Torik says:
@Silek: Yes as a matter of fact we are.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ Torik: Ah.. ok... ::closes eyes::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
*CO*: It does not appear so, or if he is, the Vulcan High Command did not feel it was necessary to inform us. I do believe that we will need to make an additional stop in our trip to Vulcan
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CSO*: Oh?  where exactly?
CO Capt Quchant says:
::wonders what's taking the wife to get to the bar::
Torik says:
@Silek: Did your human side love her?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::clears her throat:: *CO*: Well, sir, I do believe that since Ensign Silek is our own CEO we should at least attempt to investigate his predicament and how we can help
EO MacKenzie says:
::takes the Captain's chair apart::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
EO: Hey, hey! Just fix the console!
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: Good luck explaining that.
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: gets a bowl of peanuts and a raktajino from the replicator ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: It will be an interesting challenge to say the very minimum
EO Mackenzie says:
CIV: It's fried.... I need to change the elements Sir.  Ok Eh?
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CSO*: increase speed to warp 7
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::sits back down:: EO: Ask Ensign Amuz. She is in charge.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Sir, we do have a qualified JAG officer onboard if necessary.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
*CO*: Aye, aye Captain. Will keep you informed, Bridge out.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::shrugs::  Torik: I didn't even know her.  ::keeps his eyes closed::
Torik says:
@Silek: And yet her actions anger you
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::looks at the EO:: EO: The elements? I have no idea that the seat had its own heating element
CSO Ens Amuz says:
FCO: Increase speed to warp 7
Duty FCO says:
CSO:  Aye Ens..... ::The Lt is not amused to be answering to a Ens::
CEO Ens Silek says:
@  Torik: Past tense.... her actions ANGERED me.... now... I am... bored.
Torik says:
@Silek: Bored is how do humans say? Pleasing
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
FCO: Lieutenant, could you kindly tell me our new ETA?

ACTION:  A Klingon is beamed into the cell with Silek and Torik.  The Klingon is covered in blood and still has battle fever.

CEO Ens Silek says:
@  ::shrugs::
Torik says:
@::looks up and slightly loses his cool Vulcan demeanor::
Klingon says:
@::Raises his fist.::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: looks around at the door ::  CO:  Isn't Lorehani supposed to be coming?
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::opens eyes and sees the Klingon and smiles:: Torik: Now what?  ::closes eyes once more::
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: raises up his bowl :: CO/XO: Peanuts?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
FCO: Lieutenant, the Commander asked you a question
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Probably figuring out what to wear
Duty FCO says:
CSO/CIV:  Sorry, just turned out a bit.  A day and half to Vulcan.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: looks at the bowl :: CTO:  No thanks.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
FCO: Thank you. CIV: As an XO, you did a number of beta shifts did you not?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
AFCO: Thank you. ::turns back to the CSO:: XO: And a number of Alpha too, yes.
Torik says:
@::looks at the fist and takes a deep breathe::
Klingon says:
@::Takes a swing at Torik::
CTO LtJG Koval says:
:: nibbles on peanuts and takes a sip from his mug ::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  I can understand that.  :: chuckles ::
Torik says:
@::flinches::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::grabs a handful of peanuts and starts throwing them up in the air and catching them in his mouth::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Nice skill to have Sir.  :: chuckles ::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::wonders where his wife has gotten to::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Lorehani*: Did you get lost?
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Everyone has got to have a forte
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::jumps up quickly and attempts a neck pinch on the Klingon::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  I suppose so.

ACTION:  The Captain chokes on one of the peanuts.

CO Capt Quchant says:
::coughs and splutters::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: quickly gets up and performs the Heimlich manoeuvre on the CO ::
Klingon says:
@::Back rushes Silek into the back wall slamming him.  Klingon falls to his knees::
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::attempts to neck pinch on the Klingon once more::
Torik says:
@::quickly stands and grabs the Klingon::
Lorehani says:
::Walks into the bar.::
Klingon says:
@::Falls to the floor::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::still coughing::
Torik says:
@::watches the Klingon fall:: Silek: Do you require medical attention?
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::shakes head:: Torik: Not at all.... ::lies back down again::
Lorehani says:
::Sees the scene before here.  Telgar's arms around her husband.  She burst out in tears and grabs the first breakable thing she can find and throws it at Telgar.  Hormones you know due to being pregnant.::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::ducks the thingy::
Torik says:
@::nudges the Klingon with his foot:: Silek: Well that was amusing
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
Lorehani:  Hey!!!  I'm trying to help him!  He's choking!!
CO Capt Quchant says:
::falls to his hands and knees and still coughing....starting to turn purple as the Heimlich manoeuvre was unsuccessful::
