CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Commander, we have an opening in tactical

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Sir, we do.  ::  looks over at the CSO ::  Might I make a suggestion?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: As long as it doesn't involve the....um...yes sure

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks over to the CSO:: CSO: How is it going, Khethiwe?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Ensign Amuz would make an excellent tactical officer.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::halts and looks at the CIV, smiling slightly:: CIV: Commander, doing alright. How are you?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Feel free to make the change

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: nods and grins :: CO:  Aye Sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::smiles at her staying in professional mode despite having used her first name:: CSO: Fine thank you.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: walks over to the CSO and CIV ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::looks to the XO::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::notices the XO:: XO: Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  Mister Amuz, you are sitting in the wrong seat.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: Ma'am? ::is confused:: It is the duty shift, I am the Science Officer

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::watches the distance slowly close between the Tal and the Orion ship::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  Not anymore.  :: grins ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::looks between them:: XO/CSO: I can come back...

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Are you sure you're pushing the engines as much as the engineering department will let you?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  You will take tactical from now on, effective immediately.

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
:: Walks onto the bridge ::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::stands up and straightens her back, smiling broadly:: XO: Commander! I... Thank you, ma'am.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Well I'm using every last ounce of power Ensign Silek is giving me but I think he's holding out on us.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: nods ::  CTO:  You've earned it Chief.  :: grins ::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::whispers:: XO: It was a good decision, Commander. ::motions for a replacement::

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
XO: I have my report. ::Stands at attention ::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CEO: Are you giving it all she's got Ensign?

ACTION: There are weird noises being heard in engineering coming from the warp induction unit.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: Anything else would risk engine and or structural damage Captain. 

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CEO:  ok then.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::walks to the console, thinking:: Self: Finally, I am back where I belong

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Perhaps if all leant forward in our chairs?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::looks to the CTO:: CTO: Back to a position you prefer?

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::raises head as he hears the noise and consults the computer regarding the status of the warp induction unit::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: Yes, Commander ::cannot hide the smile as she looks at him::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Or we could send Gopher out to paint some "go faster" stripes on the hull.

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
XO: Ma'am? I have my report.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::smiles back:: CTO: Have you met the new TO yet? ::gestures to Rekaun::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: That's the best idea I've heard all day

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
TO:  Go ahead Mister Rekaun.

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
CIV: What?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::turns to the TO:: TO: Nothing Ensign. ::turns back to the CTO::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::glances over at the TO:: CIV: Another half-Romulan, let's hope he is better than the...other

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: I guess it'll be up to you.::grins:: Trust me he'll be better than my OPS replacement on 
      the Scimitar.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::frowns slightly:: CIV: You mean Yor'Kie? That man attempted to hit me, some don't actually understand self-restraint.... ::smiles a little:: or fighting

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
TO:  Ensign, you have something to report?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: He did? ::smiles again:: He was an idiot in every sense of the word. Commander Ro'Kar will get him into shape... if he hasn't been removed yet.

MO_Needles says:
*Bridge: This is sickbay, I think someone needs to come down here and check out this dead crewman. There is something unusual about the body.

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
XO: We have found where the security breach was. It came from the transporter in the secret room. The dead body in the room is under analysis, ma'am.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Sickbay*: Could you be a little bit more specific crewman?  We're in a yellow alert situation

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: To be honest, I was assigned for a very short to the actual ship, so I do not hold as much attachment to it than you...sir

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
TO:  Good job Mister Rekaun.  And this is your new Chief  of Tactical.  :: motions to the CTO ::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::frowns:: XO: I cannot find the problem with the warp induction unit from here, I shall be in engineering.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  I can send Commander Idrani.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::looks across at the sound of her name::

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
CTO: Hello, ma'am. I am Rekaun Tell'akus, the new TO.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CEO:  Understood Mister Silek.

MO_Needles says:
*CO*: Well sir, it appears the method of death was a snapped vertebrae. Not many killers use that method.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::heads to the turbolift and heads toward engineering::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::taps at the flight console trying to cut as many corners as possible::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*MO*: Understood

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Ensign.....

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::offers her hand in the human greeting:: TO: I am Ensign Kethiwe Amuz, your new boss.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Yes, Captain?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Security lockdown.  All decks

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
:: Looks down at hand ::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::hears the CO:: Self: Aw crap, now what?

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
:: Shakes hand ::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Aye, sir ::looks back at the TO:: TO: Assume the secondary console for the moment

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::looks back at her console, activating the intruder alert::

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
CTO: Yes, ma'am.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::taps combadge:: *EO*: Mackenzie... check the Anodyne Relay as well as the warp induction unit immediately. I am on my way.

ACTION: A secondary alarm goes off in engineering in the phase coils.

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
:: Walks to secondary console and sits ::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Head down to sickbay and find out the specifics about the death of that corpse.  Also, do we have an identification yet?

EO_Mackenzie says:
*CEO*: We are getting a secondary alarm Chief.... looks like the phase coils eh.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Intruder alert has been activated, Captain, all decks are sealed and security officers should be mobilizing throughout the ship

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: No Sir, perhaps the doctors can tell me. I'll get down there. ::nods and heads to the turbolift::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
*EO*: I am almost there Mackenzie, use a duatronic probe to check the phase coils.

ACTION: Sensors on the bridge pick up a contact at the edge of LRS.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::takes the lift::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::nods at the CIV as he leaves::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::walk in engineering::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: good....

OPS_H’lo says:
CO:  Sir, we have something on the very fringe of LRS.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: What's going on in engineering?.....::turns his head as the OPS officer speaks::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
OPS: What is it H'lo?

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
TO: Ensign, I want you to keep an eye on the internal sensors, ensure that the security teams reach their posts and report back

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  I don't know Sir, but, I'll check.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
*CEO*  Mister Silek, what is going on down there?

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
CTO: Yes, Ma'am.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::gets his gravitic caliper from the toolbox and heads towars the phase coils:;

OPS_H’lo says:
CO:  Unknown Captain.  Attempting to boost sensors.

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
:: Starts to get to work ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks into Sickbay:: MO: Doctor Needles.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
TO: What was your major in the Academy? Normal Tactical or did you have a specialization?

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::taps combadge:: *XO*: You shall be the 2nd person to know Commander.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::frowns as he adjusts the calibration::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
*CEO* Acknowledged Mister Silek.  Keep us informed.

MO_Needles says:
CIV: Ah yes, you've come to see the body?

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::completes the adjustment and heads to the Chief Engineers office::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
*CO*: Silek to bridge... Captain, I need to speak to you in a secure area.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Well, I've seen it already. I was wondering if you could just show me your results?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CEO*: I'll be right down

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: You have the bridge

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
CTO: Unarmed Combat, ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Captain, I have the bridge. :: moves to the Captain's chair. ::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::gets up before the XO jumps in his chair and heads to the TL::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::returns to the main status display and consults all the settings and locks them down with his personal security code::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
OPS: Could you create a link between your sensors and the Tactical scans, perhaps the combination would help determine what that object is

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::in the TL and heading down to engineering::

MO_Needles says:
:: motions him over to the body :: CIV: Take a look at this. :: points to the neck :: Notice the indention in the neck area. You will see the imprint of a hand.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::decides it would be better to concentrate on the pursuit than try and make any sense of what else is happening::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
TO: Unarmed combat... ::smiles slightly and keeps working::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::gets out a KLS stabilizer and heads to the phase transition coil::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Someone snapped his neck, with their bare hands. So someone trained to do so, and strong enough to.

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
:: Oh, no ::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::arrives in engineering::

MO_Needles says:
CIV: But that's not the unusual thing. See that black mark? I've analyzed it and guess what it is?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CEO: Ensign...you wanted to see me?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::looks:: MO: Guess? Erm... okay... Liquorice?

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::locks down the settings:: CO: I believe my office would be more appropriate Sir. ::extends arm to the office::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::walks into the CEO's office::

MO_Needles says:
CIV: No, it's  grease...you know like engineers have all over their hands.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: I know what grease is... I am not a dunce. Any more info? Did you get a fingerprint, and just who is this guy on your table?

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::as the door closes, gets out a PADD and show the Captain the readings that have been deliberately altered:: CO: I am under the impression that we have a saboteur on board. ::hands his the PADD::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
TO: So, you passed unarmed combat but... ::glances at him:: but you were caught out by the rioters earlier? Do you need a refresher course?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::reads the PADD::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CEO: any suspects?

MO_Needles says:
CIV: His name is Dutch. Ensign Enzo Dutch. He was assigned to engineering at our last port.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Oh I was expecting a dutch name like Ooijer or something. OKay.. Enzo Dutch. And suspects?

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
CTO: Maybe. But, be glad you have someone onboard who knows how to fight with no weapons.

MO_Needles says:
CIV: That's your department Commander. I just gave you what I have so far.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: An engineering crewmember is the closest I can narrow it at the moment.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Idrani to Quchant. The victim was a new engineer... looks like whoever killed him had grease on his hands, so likely another Engineer did it. I'd like to team up with the CTO and arrange some interviews.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: No fingerprint?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CEO: Hmmm....

MO_Needles says:
CIV: Nothing definitive yet. I'll keep working on it.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: That is consistent with other evidence.  See what you can do about lifting DNA from that grease

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::smiles more:: TO: Yes, unarmed combatants are a benefit to me as a CTO... everyone needs to know how to fight with both fists as a final resort.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: I shall put additional tracers in the logs in an attempt to narrow the field further.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: I have asked the MO to do just that. Now, the interviews?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CEO: Keep it between you me and Commander Telgar

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Thank you, let me know when you get something. ::nods and leaves::

ACTION: Sensors can now identify the contact.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::nods::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: for the moment, no.  However, make sure you keep a lock on the comm badges of all engineering personnel and cross reference with the life sign sensors

OPS_H’lo says:
XO:  Sir!  It's the Orion ship!  We've found it!

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: I shall remain in engineering to monitor the situation.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
OPS: Good job.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: Aye Sir, but any reason why we are delaying a murder investigation? The more time goes on, the less evidence will be available and the more likely we'll have another victim.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
:::taps a quick message into the console to the Command Chair.  "Possible Sabotage in engineering, you me and CEO knowledge only"

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CTO:  What's the status of the Orion ship?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
FCO:  Get those coordinates and head us that way.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: Of course Sir, I need to be investigated as well as a possible saboteur.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::looks down at the readings:: XO: Scans show it is moving slower than usual...

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::nods and changes course to intercept the Orion ship::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: Not delaying.   Continue the investigation,  We don't want to alert the suspect that we're onto them and until we're certain who it is, we can't put them all into the brig

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CTO:  Can you tell why?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: As you wish, Sir. I will return to the bridge.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: Examining the scans further now, sir.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CIV*: Get an analysis of that grease and see if you can match it to any of the engineering staff.  If you have to scan each one in person then do so, but try and do it surreptitiously.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CO*: As I said, the MO is working on that. I'll see what I can do with engineering.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::frowns:: XO: We are still too far away to determine what is wrong, it could be damage from an attack, an internal error or just a lure into  a trap

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: An ambush?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CTO:  Let's just be cautious.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::heads back up to the Bridge::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::heads to Engineering::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: Yes, Commander. ::turns back to the TO:: TO: Ensign, I want you to go through the starfleet database and call up everything and anything about tactics against Orions

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::continues to maintain the power systems and checking the logs to narrow the suspect list::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::starts programming additional evasive maneuvers into the flight console::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Report

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
CTO: Yes, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  We've spotted the Orion ship.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Good.  Are we closing in on them?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  It's slowing down, but, we don't know why yet.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Yes, we are closing.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::enters Engineering::

TO_Ens_Rekaun says:
:: Searches the database ::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::scowls and continues to check the logs::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::goes to sit down in his chair::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::starts to examine the sensor readings, thinking:: Self: I am where I belong.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Sir, I've just remembered something.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Oh?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Yes, Petty Officer Pringle, from engineering, was on that Orion ship with me.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Locate P.O. Pringle and detain him

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Yes sir

ACTION: Things are quiet for the moment......as the sensors detect another contact....trouble.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::clears throat:: CO: Um, PO Pringle is not on the ship, he is missing

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Sir, he was with the Orions.
