CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::sitting in the Big Chair [tm]::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::looks at the XO in the chair next to him::

Adm_Sheridan says:
:: in her quarters about to explode ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::on the bridge hoping the Admiral will explode::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: I got banished from the room

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::on the bridge working::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  I see.  :: attempts to not chuckle ::  So, what did you do?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Something about being a distraction

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::on the bridge tapping at the flight console::

Adm_Sheridan says:
:: finishes writing her report on the goings on in sickbay ::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::scans to see if everything is progressing normally with the delivery::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  I see.  :: smiles ::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::looks at the scans:: CIV: Any ideas on how we could refine our search for ceti eels?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO:Turn the power up? I don't know... that's the problem with these damned Ceti eel.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::taps some more at his console to hold the ship in a geostationary orbit::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::rubs her neck and looks at the scans:: CIV: There has to be an easier way than just sending a mob of security officers to scan everyone

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV/CTO: Have you refined the scan bandwidth

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Would be fun to stun every person on board.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: We can start with Foster, and move on to Sheridan.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::drums his fingers on the arm chair in anticipation::

Adm_Sheridan says:
:: sends off her report on how the counselor was derelict in his duties towards an admiral of the fleet ::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
XO: Would you like me to pace for you Sir?

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::looks at the FCO and smiles slightly at the comment, then looks at the CO:: CO: Attempting to now, sir.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: I heard that

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: grins ::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::goes through the database to see if there are any common problems Andorian or human/andorian pregnancies::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Give the CTO a hand will you please?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: How about a modified forcefield they can walk through that would stun a creature small enough as a Ceti eel, but not a person?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO: Of course Sir.  :: chuckles and walks over to Amuz ::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CTO:  What have you got there.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::trying to concentrate on the ceti eels conversation but is more concerned about another parasite::

Adm_Sheridan says:
:: decides to talk to the CO :: *CO*: Captain, this is Admiral Sheridan. I know you are busy, but when you have a moment, I need to see you in my quarters.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: That might be a bit painful, some species have a lower pain threshhold than some ::Stiffens as the XO approaches:: XO: Commander, ma'am...well we are trying to use a wide beam scanner to look for ceti eels on the surface

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: With security, I reccomend.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*adm*: Me...busy...no, just a ceti eel infestation of a federation member planet, and a rather frantic andorian about to increase the crew populace by one

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::really does think that using a transporter for childbirth would be a great idea::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani:  Drugs kicking in yet?

Adm_Sheridan says:
*CO*: Captain, this is not a request. I need to speak to you about one of your crew.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: You have the bridge

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Adm*: on my way

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::double checks his readings and adjusts the ship's position slightly::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: You have a moment?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Yes, Captain, of course.

Lorehani says:
::Slowly nods at the doc::  CNS:  Yeah, finally.  Where is Thomas?

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: But I am quite stumped as to increase the scanning resolution without actually going onto the surface and scanning. Every. Single. Person...

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: just in case the admiral gets.....interesting

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Are you permitting me to slap her?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: You kicked him out a little while ago.  He was distracting you.  I can get him back if you'd like.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: well....only if you're Klingon and interested in her

Lorehani says:
CNS:  And he went!!!  He knows better.  ::Sighs::  He never gets it right.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: You were pretty insistent.  Plus you broke his hand.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::shudders:: CO: So what is the plan?

Lorehani says:
CNS: But I've done that before and he hasn't ran away.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
*CO*: Captain I think your wife would like you back for the childbirth.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CNS*: On my way

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Adm*: I'll have to ask for a rain check.  My child is about to make an appearance....I'm sure you understand

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: We'll get him back up here.  Feel free to break whatever you want to on him, I can fix it later.

Adm_Sheridan says:
*CO*: Of course Captain, but this is not going to go away.

Lorehani says:
Action:  Lorehani has a big contracts and she let's out a big roar.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Scan the admiral's quarters....get me a report on her current condition

Lorehani says:
::Grins as she is screaming::  CNS:  Why thank you, I just might take you up on that.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Scan for what exactly?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::gets off the turbolift and runs to his quarters::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Never mind... Aloud: I'll be inventive.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::scans during the contraction to see how close things are::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::glances round the bridge to see what everyone else is doing::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV:  ::calls back:: Thanks!

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
FCO: So...Commander Foster, how did you know when to stun me when I was focused on Commander Idrani?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::bursts into his quarters and past Korack::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::moves back to the tactical console and hears a high pitched voice yelling from the turbolift as it goes further away::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::starts scanning the Admirals quarters::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::skids into bedroom::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CTO: Are you kidding? I've seen you two work together, I kinda figured if you were going to shoot him either he'd done something REALLY bad or you weren't yourself.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: You don't know... maybe I had said something stupid the night before.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: Things are not progressing like they're supposed to.  At least that's what the tricorder is telling me.  Kind of looks like the little one is sideways...

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::eyes darken:: FCO: True... ::mutters to herself:: Self: Should have been more wary...

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
Lorehani: are we done yet?

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CIV: As I remember, you two were still pretty cozy before she went to the Romulan ship with the Admiral.

Lorehani says:
::Grabs onto Thomas::  CNS: WHAT......are you going to do about it!

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::grins:: FCO: True...

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CNS: rapidity would be helpful

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::"pokes" at Lorehani's belly to see if he can verify the kid is out of position::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: shakes her head at the conversation going on around her ::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: Well, I can slice you open, pull out the baby and then seal you back up.  Or I can try delivery by transporter.  Up to you.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
XO: Commander, I dont see anything strange on the scans.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CIV:  Good.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::grits her teeth, her eyes going crosseyed at the solutions... thinks:: Self: How can you tell the difference between strange behaviour and just 'quirky' behavior?

Lorehani says:
::Panic look on her face:: CNS:  Whichever is quickest and doesn't hurt the baby.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: Well I've never heard of anyone doing childbirth by transporter before, it's just an idea I had.  Caesarean section is the old tried and true method.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::mutters:: Aloud: Or we could just stun everyone and be done with it...

Lorehani says:
::Glares at the CNS::  CO:  Thomas, fire him5

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: That's what I said already!

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
Lorehani: I'm not sure that's the best thing right now

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::glances up, looking surprised:: CIV: Oh. Yes, Commander... possibly... but how do we get everyone to comply?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CNS: Let's do this....

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: I'm more than willing to use you as a guinea pig for the transporter method, but I thought you should make the final decisions on it.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Comply? We just shoot them.

Lorehani says:
CO:  Did he just called me a guinea pig?   Why would he call me that?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CTO/CIV:  Are you making any headway on the Ceti eels?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
CO: We should probably get her to Sickbay.  If I'm going to cut her open, probably better to do it down there.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::growls:: CIV: They are DIPLOMATS, Thalev, you can't just shoot them!

Adm_Sheridan says:
:: sends another memo off to her husband about her treatment on the Tal-War, knowing he's not going to be pleased and might very well show up to deal with it ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
XO: We said just 10 minutes ago that we are working on it.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
Lorehani: It's a medical term

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Bridge*: Transport three to sickbay

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Why not? They aren't diplomats if they are compromised.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CIV:  Yes, I realize that.  I wanted an update.  Do you have a problem with that Commander?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
XO: No Commander, I think you've read some tone in my voice not intended. Apologies.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CIV:  None necessary Commander.  I am just on edge.  I think we all are.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::sighs:: CIV: Its just... ::looks at him annoyed:: What if they hide from our scans? What if they object ot be treated like criminals? What if they see it as an invasion of privacy?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Invasion? Most people would be happy to know they don't have a slimy bug in their ears.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
CO: Might be faster to replicate a gurney and wheel her down if they're taking that long to respond.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::nods to the XO::

ACTION:  The familiar sound of the transport is heard.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::lifts Lorehani to a biobed::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::grabs the equipment to perform the c section from a cabinet::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: Ok, let's work with your idea then, Commander... a low level forcefield... given the number of delegates it needs to be a variable strength one...

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::puts a sterile field around the bio bed::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::mutters:: CIV: Sorry, Thalev...::doesn't look up from her calculations::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Your call, you're the boss on that... and sorry?

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: I didn't mean to shout at you earlier... how's the leg?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Lorehani: This is a fairly simple procedure.  You'll be awake, just numb.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::wonders if he can get some of that::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: I'm fine, don't worry. ::smiles:: Let's get this done shall we?

Lorehani says:
::nods::  CNS:  Ok.   ::Grabs Thomas's hand again::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: Yes, the sooner we do this the better... I just want to forget this whole incident ::brings up the schematics::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::gives the CO's wife a regional anesthetic and gets out the scalpel::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Don't forget it, just grow from it.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: wonders how things are going for the CO and Lorehani ::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::makes primary incision::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::looks at the blood....and faints::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::turns to Sharra:: XO: Maybe we should organize a party for the CO when all this is over. ::smiles::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::nods and points at the diagram:: CIV: This mobile forcefield transmitter is used mainly by marines in room clearing, but it could be modified to suit our needs

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Good idea.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::on the floor with his hand still being held::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
FCO:  When this is all over, perhaps.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::slices through the uterus::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::realizes he's missing a nurse::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Self:  Shi... dang.  Computer activate EMH.

EMH_Quinn says:
CNS: What?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Let's put the ship phaser on stun and shoot the planet.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Quinn EMH: Shut your pie hole and get ready to take care of this baby.

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::blinks:: CIV: The ship's phaser? ::glances at the XO for approval::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::reaches into Lorehani's uterus and grabs the CO's spawn::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Simple, easy and we then hire thousands to pick up the small dead little eels.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Baby: :under breath:: .Quit wriggling

EMH_Quinn says:
CNS: Do I look like a nurse?

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: We... we could... ::looks at the readings:: I have never used the ship's phaser array on such a low setting...

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CIV:  It is possible.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
Quinn EMH: You look like a reprogrammed battle simulation training dummy if you don't shut it.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Make sure you record it so we can post it to StarfleetTube after.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::slowly pulls the baby out::

CTO_Ens_Amuz says:
::smiles slightly:: CIV: Have you seen that  new Vulcan cooking program? ::gets to work::

Lorehani says:
CO:  Oooooooo!!!  look at her!  Isn't  Gemma gorgeous.  ::Tears running down her face::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::comes round....and looks up::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::grins widely::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CTO/CIV:  Let's make it happen.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
::ties off umbilical cord and hands CO the scalpel::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
CO: Want to cut the cord?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Bridge*: Record a new crew member please.....Gemma Chelon Quchant

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: smiles ::  *CO* Aye Sir, congratulations!

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::cuts cord::
