Host CO_Loran says:
::Stands on the Bridge, looking out over the view screen looking at Vulcan::

CSO_Taliza says:
::At science station, prepping for new mission::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looking at a visual of Vulcan on his console:: Self: Wow, it seems like it has been ages since I've been back here.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Just wait until you get the picturesque vistas of Bajor.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Nods to Taliza:: CSO: I've never been to Bajor, but I really would like to visit it sometime.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: I'll take you up on that sometime.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Rechecks final  systems in Main Engineering::  *CO*  Everything is in the green.

TO_Benson says:
::Standing at the tactical station monitoring long-range sensors::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Set a course for the Garulan sector, Warp 6.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Calibrates science sensors for the next mission::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: All other stations report clear for departure and Vulcan Space Control has given clearance.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Sees that he is cleared and nods to the CO:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sets course::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The scientific sensors will be ready by the time we arrive at Garulan.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Takes Titan safely away from Vulcan::

TO_Benson says:
::Taps console adjusting the long-range sensors::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: That is good to know, Lieutenant, keep me informed.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CEO* I see everything seems to be in working order.  Thank you, Sir.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Alpha shift is due to end in three minutes.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* At least someone notices.. ::Sarcastically::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Engage when you are clear of the system.

TO_Benson says:
::Wonders where her relief officer is and makes a note on the duty roster next to his name to speak to him about the importance of reporting to duty on time::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Goes over to a console::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Waits a moment until his console gives him the okay that the system is far enough away and engages the warp drive, warp 6::

TO_Benson says:
::Keeps glancing over to the turbolift, expecting to see her relief officer any second::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Starts to work on his next project.  Thinks: Jadahn always wanted a shuttle see if he like this design::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Beta shift arrives on the Bridge.

CSO_Taliza says:
<SO_Baker> CSO: I relieve you, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Feels the ship go into warp and walks over to his RR::  Beta shift:  You have the Bridge, Lieutenant Hastrom.  ::Enters his Ready Room::

CSO_Taliza says:
Baker: I stand relieved.  Keep an eye on those sensors as they're calibrating.  Inform me if the slightest misalignment occurs.

CSO_Taliza says:
<Baker> CSO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
::Sees several Bridge officers exit the turbolift, but no tactical officer among them.  Taps COM badge::  *Security* Benson to Security, where is the Beta Shift tactical officer?

FCO_Jadahn says:
<Cadel>  ::Walks over to Apollo:: FCO: Hey, welcome back!  What was training with the marines like?

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Notices his replacement coming::  <EO Satra> CEO: Here to relieve you, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sits down behind his desk and pulls up some reports that he hasn't finished going over::

FCO_Jadahn says:
Cadel: Just, take your station.  I'm sorry, it's nothing personal.  I'd just rather not talk about it at least for now.

TO_Benson says:
<Security> *TO* Richards here, Sir.  Your relief officer....ummm....Ensign Storm is running a few minutes late, Sir.  He should be there momentarily.

TO_Benson says:
*Security* Very well.  Make a note in his file.  I will speak to him later.  Benson, out.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Goes to tactical:: TO: Having a little personnel problem, Raine?

CEO_Fletcher says:
EO: Fine.  Here you go, it's all yours.  ::Transfers the data to a PADD and walks out::

TO_Benson says:
::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: Yes.  ::Grumbles::

CEO_Fletcher says:
<EO_Satra> ::Nods and takes the seat where the CEO was.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: Has Storm ever been on time?

TO_Benson says:
CSO: Not lately, he hasn't.

FCO_Jadahn says:
<Cadel> ::Nods to Apollo and sits down at the helm as Apollo makes his way off of the Bridge:: 

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Enters turbolift::  Holodeck 2.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: Wanna meet me in the lounge for a drink?

TO_Benson says:
::Continues monitoring the long-range sensors waiting for Storm to show up for duty::
CSO: Sure, when and IF my relief gets here.  ::Sighs::

Host CO_Loran says:
*CSO* Lieutenant, could you come to my Ready Room?

CSO_Taliza says:
*CO* On my way, Sir.  TO: I wonder what he wants?  ::Walks over to the Ready Room::

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* Apollo meet me in holodeck 3 in ten minutes.

TO_Benson says:
::Watches the CSO as he walks to the Ready Room::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Rings the Ready Room door chime::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Hears the door chime::  CSO: Enter.

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CEO* Sorry, I already have something I am going to do.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Enters Ready Room:: CO: Lieutenant Junior Grade Taliza Cal reporting as ordered, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: At ease, Lieutenant.

CSO_Taliza says:
::At ease::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: While I was over on the Calligar homeworld, I see that you were 'pestered' by Fizer.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::The turbolift stops as a happy looking Bolian security officer gets in::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Pestered is an understatement, Sir.  I think it was "mentally abused."

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  That is Fizer's way of doing things with people.  I did leave instructions not to provoke Fizer.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, with all due respect, I was provoked.  However, it won't happen again.

TO_Benson says:
::Glances over at the closed Ready Room door and wonders what the Captain and Cal are talking about::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::The turbolift stops again as the Bolian gets off and enters his quarters.  The turbolift then continues until it reaches holodeck 2::

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* Understood. ::Walking towards his quarters::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Understood, Lieutenant but once Fizer had changed your uniform, you should not have done anything else to make him transport you to Calligar, back to the Titan and mess up your quarters.

TO_Benson says:
::Picks up a  PADD and copies some of the ship's log files to it::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I looked like a Scottish nerd.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Apollo gets off the turbolift and taps in his program at the holodeck entrance::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Fizer is or was part of the Q.  They are like children that have new toys, which is their power.

TO_Benson says:
::Glances over at the turbolift again and sees the doors slide open::

TO_Benson says:
Storm: Ahh... Ensign Storm, nice of you to show up for duty.  ::Glares at the young Ensign::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: From what I've read about the Q that had bothered the Enterprise, Deep Space Nine and Voyager that Q had a lot more restraint.

TO_Benson says:
<Ensign Storm> TO: Sorry I'm late, Sir.  I forgot to request a wake up call from the computer, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Enters the holodeck and a familiar scent overwhelms him::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Finds himself right where he wants to be, late 20th century, 0200 hours, Philadelphia, Earth.  Passes a sewer with steam seeping out through the slats in it::

TO_Benson says:
Storm: A poor excuse, Ensign.  When you have completed your duty shift, report to Security for your next shift.  You will pull a double shift today and the rest of the week, understood?

CEO_Fletcher says:
::In his quarters, sits on the couch as Tybalt leaps on to his lap::

TO_Benson says:
<Ensign Storm> ::Looks shocked::  TO: Aye, Sir!  I relieve you, Sir.  ::Moves to the tactical console::

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: But, if you remember the first few encounters with Q by the Enterprise, he acted like a child with a new toy.

TO_Benson says:
::Relinquishes tactical one to Storm, then turns and heads for the turbolift, PADDs in hand::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I remembered Q wanted to keep the Enterprise from exploring deep space, for what he thought was their own good.

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: He put all of humanity on trail for their crimes from the past.

TO_Benson says:
::Enters turbolift:: Deck 6.  ::Taps the button on the PADD and reads the data from the ship's logs::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::He goes over the shuttle design and makes minor changes::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: That is much different than undressing Lieutenant Jadahn and turning Commander Teasley's and my uniforms into pink tuxes with kilts.  That sounds like Q was trying to prevent something from happening.  Fizer likes to cause trouble.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::He is wearing jeans, and a dark gray t-shirt.  He sees a group of older teenagers hanging out in an alley and heads toward them::

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: I understand, but, he is a child playing with his powers and with people he feels is inferior.

TO_Benson says:
::Exits the turbolift on Deck 6 and strolls to her quarters.  Taps her code into the pad next to the door and walks as the doors whoosh open::  Computer: Computer, lights one-half illumination.  ::Walks over to the sofa and sits down, placing the PADDs on the coffee table.  Begins pulling off her boots::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::The teenagers quickly clear out, not wanting trouble.  Given the crime rate at this time, it is not surprising::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Looks around:: CO: Sir, it looks like we're going to need to have the maintenance crew step up on its insecticide program.  ::Approaches the strange-looking fly:: Too bad I don't have my tricorder on me.  Oh well.

TO_Benson says:
::Picks up her boots and notices they are a bit scuffed.  Stands and takes the boots to the table and sets them down.  Turns and walks into her dressing area, rummaging through the closet for her boot polish and rags::

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: I would also like to point out, that, you acted in an unprofessional Starfleet manner when Fizer transported you back to the ship.  ::Looks over where the CSO was looking and wonders what he was looking at and commenting about::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The CO sees no insect in the area where the CSO is looking.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Leans against the brick wall at the end.  Notices the wall and the ground are wet and puddled due to a recent rain.  He kicks a piece of cardboard against the wall and slides down to sit on it::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turns attention back to the CO:: CO: For that, I do apologize.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Apollo ignores the sounds of police Sirens in the distance.  He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a necklace::

TO_Benson says:
Self: Ahh....here it is!  ::Grabs the boot polish, brush and rags and heads back to the table, setting the things on the table.  Pulls out a chair and sits down and begins polishing her boots::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Looks back at the spot and sees the bug is gone:: CO: Either it's gone, or I'm seeing things.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Goes over to his table computer. He starts to go over many things, first is the shuttle plans, second is updating psychological profiles he still keeps::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Two pigeons land in a puddle near Apollo and begin to take a bath.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Holds the necklace up so that the streetlight makes it visible.  It is a silver chain with a pendant of a bird::

TO_Benson says:
Computer: Computer, lights full illumination.  ::Looks at her reflection on the boot and smiles::

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO:  You refused to report to sickbay and you refused to report back to duty while wearing those clothes the Fizer gave you.  Commander Teasley stayed on the Bridge and didn't cause any commotion about his clothes.  You were probably seeing things, Lieutenant, which leads me to this decision.

TO_Benson says:
::Picks up the other boot and begins polishing it::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::But it is not just any bird...it is the symbol of the Romulan Star Empire.  The metal edges are smooth from years of being worn::

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: I am going to have to put a reprimand in your file about your actions and I want you to report to the Counselor for 2 sessions of counseling about Fizer and this incident.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::He glances momentarily at the pigeons.  He decides to let them be, as long as they do not bother him::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
::Checks the boot to make sure she can see her reflection in it.  Smiling, she gathers up her things from the table and takes them to the closet::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Uh, Sir, who is the counselor?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::After sitting for what seemed like an eternity, a few thugs moved into the alley, with unfriendly intentions::

TO_Benson says:
::Sets her boots on the floor near the bed then undresses and walks into the restroom:: Computer: Computer, activate sonic shower.  ::Steps into the stall and closes her eyes, allowing the sonic shower to cleanse her hair and body::

FCO_Jadahn says:
Computer: Freeze program.  ::The program freezes just as the pigeons take off.  He stands and walks by the gang and out of the alley, down the street and exits the holodeck::

TO_Benson says:
::Steps out of the stall:: Computer: Computer, deactivate sonic shower.  ::Wraps her hair in a towel then puts on a robe.  Strolls leisurely out of the restroom and heads for the replicator::  Computer, one cup of hot tea.  ::Takes the tea and sets it on the coffee table then sits down on the sofa gazing out the portal at the stars flying past::

TO_Benson says:
::Picks up her tea and sips::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::He stops after exiting the holodeck:: *CEO* All right, you still up to going to holodeck 3?

TO_Benson says:
::Sets the tea back down on the coffee table and picks up one of the PADDs and taps the button, reading over the security duty roster again before submitting it to the XO for approval::

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: Lieutenant, since we seem to be lacking a full time counselor right now, I guess the duties would fall onto the shoulders of Lieutenant Fletcher.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Isn't he the engineer?

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: Yes, but, he was the counselor before becoming an engineer.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Thinks being counseled by the engineer is like being treated by the CTO for an injury::

TO_Benson says:
::Satisfied with the duty roster, she stands and walks to the desktop terminal and activates it.  She programs the terminal to download the roster from the PADD and sends the roster to the XO::

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* Yes meet me there in abut five minutes.

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: Set up two sessions with him and attend them.  I hope you wont allow Fizer to get to you again like he did this last time.

TO_Benson says:
::Reads messages on the terminal and sends her replies::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Cringes about the sessions with the CEO:: CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CEO* Right

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO: Any other questions?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Heads to holodeck 3::

TO_Benson says:
::Looks up wondering if Cal is finished with his meeting with the CO.  Continues to sift through the message files::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: No, Sir.

Host CO__Loran says:
CSO:  Dismissed.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Closes up his computer and heads out::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Exits Ready Room and heads to the turbolift to meet with the TO::

Host CO__Loran says:
::Sighs a little about that as Fizer can be a real pain in the butt most of the time, but, we should still be Starfleet officers around him::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: TIME WARP: After the required amount of flight time, system 1312G shows up on long-range sensors.

TO_Benson says:
::Standing on the Bridge at tactical one, monitoring the sector on long-range sensors::

CSO_Taliza says:
::At station, monitoring sensors at system 1312G::

Host CO__Loran says:
::Sits in his chair, looking at his terminal::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::In Main Engineering waiting for a red light to flash::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::At the helm:: CO: The system has appeared on long-range sensors.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The stars are extremely close to each other and throwing off waves of radiation and gravitic abnormalities.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sensors have picked up system 1312G.

Host CO__Loran says:
::Looks up::  CSO:  Put the system up on the viewscreen.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: On screen.  ::Puts the system on the screen::  I'm picking up massive radiation waves and gravitic abnormalities.

TO_Benson says:
::Focuses the sensors on the stars in the system and begins seeing readings of radiation and gravitic abnormalities::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Adjusting our shields to compensate.  ::Taps console::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It seems the stars are about to collide.  They're very, very close.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Readings confirmed, Sir.  Suggest going to yellow alert, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: They'll collide in approximately four hours.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Just sort of cruises in as he was doing before, since there is no immediate danger::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Heads up to the Bridge.  He could monitor Main Engineering from there::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors detect something large on the opposite side of the binaries.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Understood.  Prepare a probe for launching.  I want to get readings from up close but I don't want to take the ship in any closer than it needs to be.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sensors are detecting a large object on the opposite side of the binaries.  Suggest going to yellow alert, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Preparing probe.  ::Prepares probe, but sees the sensor reading:: CO: Sir, I'm reading something that's locating on the opposite side of the binary stars.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Ears perk up, and he awaits the order::

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: What can you get from that large object, Lieutenant?

TO_Benson says:
CO: Not much at this range, Sir.  There is a lot of interference from the radiation.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Probe ready for launch.

TO_Benson says:
::Taps the console boosting power to the sensors::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and goes to the Eng 1 console::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Suggest going to yellow alert, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I'm reading that object as a very large, slow ship of some sort.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Nods a little "hello" to Lars as he takes his station::

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: I don't want to go to yellow alert right now.  I will bring us to yellow alert closer to the time of the merging of the stars.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'm detecting possibly billions... wait, that can't be right.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Nods back::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Launch the probe.  Maybe we can get more information from the probes sensors once it is closer.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Launching.  ::Launches probe::

TO_Benson says:
::Tries to get a reading on a possible ship::

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: Can you confirm that?  I'm reading billions of people on that ship.

TO_Benson says:
::Watches as the readings begin coming in stronger:: CSO/CO: Confirmed.  I am reading billions of life signs coming from the vessel.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks over at the CSO and then to the TO to see if their readings are the same::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Scanning for weapons and propulsion systems, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO/TO: What kind of propulsion do they have?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks the probe telemetry for the proximity of the vessel from the star and the propulsion::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Scans show no weapons and a type of chemical propulsion system.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO/TO:  What is their course and speed?

CEO_Fletcher says:
FCO: Check the navigational sensors are the in line.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: They are 9 AU’s from the stars.  It's comprised of 10 spheres held together fragilely by magnetic couplings.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Nods to Lars:: CEO: Uhh...everything seems to be working normally, Sir

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Will they be able to get out of range by the time the stars collide?

CEO_Fletcher says:
FCO: All right.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I don't think so.  They're going way too slow.

TO_Benson says:
CO: They are on a retreat course away from the stars.  Speed is minimal, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  What race are they?

FCO_Jadahn says:
TO: So minimal that they cannot manage one AU? ::A rhetorical question...sort of::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/TO: I'm thinking the gravitational pull of the binaries is keeping that vessel complex in its orbit.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Inconclusive on the race, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: Perhaps they do not have enough power to pull out of the gravitational pull.

TO_Benson says:
FCO: Affirmative, Lieutenant.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: That could be the case.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  See if you can move us around this system so that we can intercept them in time to help them.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: See if you can hail that ship.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looks for a safe course to take::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, this vessel is massive.  I do not believe we are capable of pulling it out.

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: You think we'll have enough power to go close to that ship and tow them out?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Opening channel. ::Hails the vessel::

CEO_Fletcher says:
CSO: Yes, we do but hopefully getting away from the shockwaves no.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: No response to our hails.

Host CO_Loran says:
::They probably have a much more primitive communication system than what we do::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I suggest we keep a helio-synchronous orbit until we get in line with that ship.

TO_Benson says:
::Watches the sensors carefully for any signs of changes in the vessel's status::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CEO/CSO: But can we tow something that huge?  Maybe if we got them separate the spheres we could tow them one by one or have several shuttles do the task or both.
