Host CO_Loran says:
John: I'm about to find out, Commander.  If you will excuse me, you are dismissed.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: Loran: Good evening, Captain.  Glad to see there's no smoke billowing out behind you.

John says:
AXO: Can I talk to you for just a minute?

AXO_Madson says:
John: No problem.  What do you need?

John says:
AXO: I guess you heard what I did a few hours ago.

AXO_Madson says:
John: What's that, your resignation?

John says:
::Gives him a quizzical look:: AXO: Yes.

Host Adm_Bradley says:

AXO_Madson says:
John: Oh, I won't.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Bradley: Sir, what is happening?  We had a run-in with two Romulan warbirds at the nebula.

John says:
AXO: By the way, ran into Robyn in the corridor.  She wants to talk to you later.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: Loran: Indeed.  I've read the reports.  SFI has information of a large fleet of Romulan ships assembling near Remus.

AXO_Madson says:
John: Oh yeah?  ::Thinks for a moment:: It has been a while since we talked.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: Loran: That's all the information we have right now.

John says:
AXO: Yes, she did say that and also something about the ring you gave her.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Bradley: Do you want us to do any investigating while we are on patrol, or just look like we belong there?

AXO_Madson says:
John: All right.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Sends a message to Julie at Starfleet Academy making sure she's okay after the explosion::

John: All right, thanks.

John says:
AXO: You’re welcome. ::Pats him on the shoulder and heads to the turbolift again::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: Loran: That's why we're sending you, Captain.  With Titan's extended sensor range, you should be able monitor Romulan ship movements well into their territory.

::Looks over at the TO with a bit of a smile:: TO: Thank you.  ::Walks back to his and sits down::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Arrives at turbolift:: turbolift : Bridge

John says:
::Waits for the turbolift to get to the Bridge::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Bradley: Roger, Sir.  We will do a fly-by of Remus and see what we can find out and I will report back to you on our findings.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
AXO: Sir, all science systems are at 100% and I think I got a little bit extra out of these new sensor arrays.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: Loran: Very good.  Starfleet, out.

AXO_Madson says:
CSO: That's great.  Good work.  Self: I wish I knew what that COM was about.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::The turbolift arrives at the Bridge and I enter the Bridge::

Host CO_Loran says:
*AXO* Report to my ready room.

John says:
CNS: Hello, Commander, I am John Teasley.

*CO* Understood.

CNS: McDuggle, you have the Bridge.  ::Gets up and heads to the Ready Room::

John says:
CNS: Can I get an appointment with you later when you are available?

TO_Benson says:
CNS: I hope you find your quarters to your satisfaction.  If not, please talk to Nichols, I'm sure she can find you quarters to your liking.

AXO_Madson says:
::Walks into the Ready Room::

CNS_McDuggle says:
John: that should be no problem as I plan on talking to all the crew.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Thinks: Give it a couple of months and he can have my old quarters::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Pushes a few buttons on his computer console and brings up a chart of the few sectors of galaxy they are in and near, including the Romulan Neutral Zone and Remus::

CNS_McDuggle says:
TO: They are fine, thank you for asking.

John says:
CNS: Thanks.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Goes to his office and sits back in his chair ::

::Nods to the CNS and continues to monitor the long-range sensors::

CNS_McDuggle says:
John: Feel free to stop by my office anytime.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks up to see Madson standing before his desk::  AXO: Commander, that was Admiral Bradley from Starfleet Command.  We have new orders.

John says:
CNS: Thanks.  As soon as this new mission is over I will be there first thing.

CNS_McDuggle says:
John: Fine I will see you then.

AXO_Madson says:
CO: What would those be, Sir?

Host CO_Loran says:
AXO: Nothing spectacular, just some patrol duty along the Romulan Neutral Zone.

John says:
::Steps into the turbolift and heads for Free Fall Lounge::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Sets a level-2 diagnostic on her console::

AXO_Madson says:
::Nods:: CO/Self: I do wonder if that is all we should expect or they expect.

John says:
::Exits the turbolift on deck 2 and heads for the lounge::

CNS_McDuggle says:
TO: I take it that the Captain is busy right now.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Absentmindedly plays with the ring on her left hand::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Pushes a few more buttons on his computer console, plotting a course to the closest part of the Romulan Neutral Zone then directing their change of course towards the area near Remus then turning the console so Madson can see, with Remus highlighted.

TO_Benson says:
CNS: It would seem so, Commander.  He is in the Ready Room with Commander Madsen.

CNS_McDuggle says:
TO: Thank you I will wait to see him then.

AXO_Madson says:
CO: Hmm...

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Remembers to write a quick report to SFC:: *OPS* Send this report to Starfleet Command for me as soon as possible.  ::Sends the message data to OPS::

TO_Benson says:
CNS: Aye, Sir.  That would be advisable.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Drums fingers:: Self: Detroit.

John says:
::Enters the lounge and orders a hot coco from the replicator::

OPS_Nichols says:
*CEO* Right away.

Host CO_Loran says:
AXO: Could you please inform Lieutenant Jadahn of our new course, and please inform Ensign Horn that we will need full sensors on this patrol.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Stops drumming fingers:: Self: What?

CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* Thank you.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Opens a channel and sends the report to Starfleet Command::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Moves over to an empty console and watches the crew as they do their jobs::

AXO_Madson says:
::Picks up a PADD and writes down the course:: CO: Understood.  ::Gets up and leaves the Ready Room::

John says:
::Takes a seat and starts drinking realizing he forgot the marshmallows.

AXO_Madson says:
::Walks over to the FCO and hands him the PADD:: FCO: Set a heading for this course.  

AXO_Madson says:
CSO: I need you to keep those sensors are full en route and upon arrival.

AXO_Madson says:
FCO: Engage.  ::Sits down::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Quietly:: Self: Rush, rush, rush!  ::Plots course::  AXO: Course set, engaging warp engines.

John says:
::Puts the marshmallows into the coco::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Watches as the CEO's message is set to automatically encrypt then leaves the ship::

Host CO_Loran says:
*AXO*  Please inform me when we are nearing the spot near Remus on our side of the neutral zone.

AXO_Madson says:
*CO* Understood.

TO_Benson says:
::Thinks: Finally!  Is glad they are leaving the nebula::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Gets up and walks to the Ready Room and rings the door chime::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
AXO: Sensors online and working at 20% above normal parameters.

AXO_Madson says:
FCO: Oh and by the way, warp 8.

AXO_Madson says:
CSO: That's good.  Keep them that way.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Hears the chime again:: Enter.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Enters Ready Room:: CO: Captain.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks up to see one of his old crewmate enter his Ready Room and stands up and walks around his desk, extending his hand::  CNS: Good to see you again, James.  How was the trip from Arcadia?

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Good.  Do you have a few minutes?

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Sure, James, what do you need?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Thinks: Good old trusty warp 8::

John says:
::Watches the stars fly by, looks like warp 8::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Well, I have gone over the counseling reports and have found them a little out of date and I am setting up a counseling schedule and was wondering if there was any one that you feel that I should talk to first.

AXO_Madson says:
::Twiddling thumbs, wondering what lies ahead, wondering what Robyn wants::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Wonders if anyone would notices if he kicked it up to 9.5::

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Well, I would suggest you talk with Commander Teasley first.  He just resigned his position as my Executive Officer.

OPS_Nichols says:
AXO: Sir, all departments report.  They are ready for our mission, Sir.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Sees a familiar smirk on the FCO's face and whispers to him:: FCO: I dare you.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: yes I just met him at the turbolift and he asked for session as soon as this mission is over.

AXO_Madson says:
OPS: That's good to hear.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: That is good to hear.  After that, just start with the oldest report and work your way up the list.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Glances at Nichols then looks at the speed settings then locks them in place, and whispers:: OPS: Now look what you've done!  You dared me!  Dares make me incapable of trusting myself so I learn to take precautions. ::Winks::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Aye, Sir and it is good to see you again.

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: Hey, don't blame me.  I know that “FCO Push It To The Limit” look on anybody.  I used to fly myself you know.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
~~~OPS: You know something~~~

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Is there anything else, Commander?

John says:
::Watching as the stars fly by and thinks, it's great to be out hear::

OPS_Nichols says:
~~~CSO: Actually, I know a lot of things.  It comes with the job.~~~ ::Grins::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Chuckles quietly:: OPS: You don't think I know an FCO when I see one?  This Operations thing is just a cover...inside, you're an FCO forever. ::Grins::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Nothing at this time, so I will let you get back to what ever you were doing. 
::Rises to leave::

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: I'll walk you out as I am heading to the Bridge.

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: Yeah, well a cover until I get my old job back. ::Looks at the FCO and winks::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Walks towards his door with James in front::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Fine, Sir. ::Walks ahead of the Captain::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Walks onto the Bridge::  AXO: Report.

FCO_Jadahn says:
AXO/CO: Sirs, we are approaching our destination.

AXO_Madson says:
::Stands up:: CO: Sensors are at 120% and we are en-route to the destination at warp 8.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan arrives at the Romulan Neutral Zone.

Host CO_Loran says:
AXO: Thank you.

TO_Benson says:
::Hears the FCO announce the ship has arrived at the coordinates and begins short-range scans of the area.  Notes it is the Romulan Neutral Zone::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: I want you to slow to Warp 2 and continue on the course that was plotted.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Feels the hair on the back of her neck stand up::  Self: Something Romulan twice in the same day.

John says:
::Must be at the new mission area::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Drops from Warp 8 to Warp 2:: Warp 2 achieved, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Put me on ship wide.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Short-range scans are clear, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: I need long range with our special sensors for detecting cloaked ships.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Moves to a vacant console and observes crew::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Opens interior COM to all departments, all stations::  CO: Channel open, Sir.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Long-range sensors detect a Romulan ship heading towards Remus at maximum warp.

AXO_Madson says:
CO: Should we go to red alert?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Its well within Romulan space at the very edge of our sensor range.

Host CO_Loran says:
*Ship-Wide* Attention all hands, this is Captain Loran.  I want to inform the entire crew on what has happened in the past few hours.  The information is sparse, so, what I give you is all I have.  There has been a bombing at Starfleet Headquarters.  Also contact with the USS Cassiopeia has been lost.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: It appears to be a Destroyer, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
::Hears the CSO and switches to long-range sensors::

John says:
::Oh no, a starship lost::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Frowns::

TO_Benson says:
::Hears the CO's announcement and frowns.  Wonders what the heck is going on::

AXO_Madson says:
::Gasps at the terrible news::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Sir, I sent a message to my contact at Starfleet.  I have not heard back.

John says:
::Takes another look out the window::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Thinks: Cassiopeia? Is that Hallend’s ship?::

Host CO_Loran says:
*Ship-Wide* Our current mission is to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone and look into a report of Romulan warships massing at Remus on their side of the Neutral Zone.  We have arrived near Remus at this point and are starting our scans.  I need everyone to be on their toes and report to your duty stations.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Close ship wide COM.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Without warning, every console on the Bridge locks up and presents a picture of the Greek symbol for Omega.  The Bridge lights turn blue and reports of more of the same come from all areas of the ship.  Every attempt to remove the image from the consoles fails.
