Host SM_Pam  (Actd.mid)

Host SM_Pam says:
Conditions on Starbase 16 are going from bad to worse. The snow is still falling and is now up around everyone’s knees, songs about winter and cold weather are echoing over the communication systems and now the station and all the ships inside, are in the dark.....literally and for real.

Host SM_Pam says:
The Captain, in his search for Commander Jinxx has found a brightly lit tree in her office but no Commander. Isn’t this a strange coincidence?

Host SM_Pam says:
Now as the crew tries to feel their way around in the dark, a shuttle carrying the new Triton first officer, has arrived outside the station. Will he make it inside before the doors decide to close once more? What is that on the shuttle’s sensors? Can there be more to this than we know?

Host SM_Pam says:
Something is happening in the promenade’s atrium...lights, music.....what’s this? Do I hear something tinkling?

 Host SM_Pam says:
ACTD is proud to present the USS Triton in......“Security Breach”.....Chapter three..“Here We Go Again ”....Stardate 10412.16

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Snow keeps falling, sir.  That is peculiar.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she sighs a bit as the computer works ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: still aggravated at the shop owner and the situation ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CEO:  Great.  Can you give the Doctor a hand at figuring out what's up with the station's environmental system?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: sighs ::   CSO: I know you've tried everything you can think of.  I'm out of ideas.  What else might we possibly do?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she raises an eyebrow at the readings and turns to Vince and shouts a bit :: CO: Captain, it seems that the computer believes there is nothing wrong with the environmental systems.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: stops pushing buttons for a moment and looks at E'Laina::  OPS:  I do not know, Commander.  Everything seems to be working properly...  only that, they are not.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Obviously the computer doesn't know what it's doing.  This is our new CEO, Lieutenant Randolph.  She'll give you a hand.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: stands and begins to pace in front of the command area ::   CSO: I know you've done all you can, Kalek.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
~~~CMO: You must be Ashley.  T'Ponga has told me so much about you.~~~

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@:: checks the sensors as he makes his approach ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CMO: It is an honor to finally meet you.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: looks at the tree for a moment ::  *OPS*:  Triton, do you read?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: looks towards the new CEO and nods :: CO: I will see what I can do. If we cannot fix this soon we may have to evacuate the starbase. I do not want everyone here freezing to death.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The snow is now almost at the knees of the crew

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Have you checked what it's like in the quarters'?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: brow is furrowed in concentration ::   CSO: How about an energy beam?  Direct it...geez...where can we direct it to?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Let’s find the Captain and see what he has discovered.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CMO: May I check the computers if you don't mind?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Commander, perhaps we should contact the away team.  They should have new information by now.

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: The shuttle's sensors locate an unusual contact.....it looks like a red orb coming towards them

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
    *OPS*:  This is Vince.  Come in Triton.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: I am assuming the same. This epidemic seems to be occurring throughout the starbase.  :: nods to the CEO :: CEO: Of course Lieutenant. And welcome.. well to the Triton. :: even though they are not on the Triton ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: listens to the com, looks at the OPS again and nods ::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: Remind me to kill whatever has made this problem occur.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: Anari here, sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Take a number :: shows an evil smile ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CMO: Thank you Cmdr Yates.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: Lead the way, I will cover you.

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@:: the sensors detect a contact :: Aloud : What in the name of Kayless?  :: raises shuttle’s shields ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: I will have some medical officers check out the situation. I believe this starbase does have some good personnel.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  Anything new?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Find them.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: hands fly over the computer keyboards ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: moves off in the direction that the Captain was heading in ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: nods :: CO: Will do, sir. :: she taps her combadge::  *Sickbay*: Commander Yates to Starbase 16's Sickbay.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: Space doors have opened.  I have positioned the Triton to block them.  The new CEO has disobeyed orders...but I'm sure you're aware of that by now.  We are doing what we can to get the heat turned on at the station...but nothing is working.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@~~~ CO: My love, I fear for you all there. ~~~

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: waits until Commander Anari speaks to the Captain before he can say anything ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  Understood.  I have no idea why the space doors are open, or how.  I haven't found Cmdr Jinxx yet.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she shivers and folds her arms together to warm herself up ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: raises an eyebrow ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: According to Mr. Kalek, the station shows the doors to be closed.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  It seems we may have a linked computer problem.  They're not registering what's actually the case, here and there.

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@:: scans the orb as it approaches, tries to speed the shuttle’s approach ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: We will continue to try and do what we can from here.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Self: There are no lights but the power is functioning?  How in blazes can that be?  Something else is wrong here very wrong.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  I'll leave you to it, then.  Vince out.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: senses the CSO has something to say and looks back to him, holding a hand up a moment ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Lieutenant, is there a way you can get us lights back?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@CSO: Go ahead Kalek.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
~~~ OPS:  I'm okay Dear.  Don't worry. ~~~

 CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: nods ::  OPS:  Very well.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@~~~ CO: I'll try not to, my love. ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
Computer:  Locate Commander Jinxx.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: wanders down a hallway for a bit then gives up wandering :: *CO*: Captain, the situation on the promenade has been handled. What is your current situation?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<MO_Treston>*CMO*: Commander this is Lieutenant Treston. What can I do for you?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Commander, the station has power.  But for some reason I cannot detect, there are no lights.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CMO: It looks like someone has removed three of the relays that tie in the power to lights.  :: lays on the snow and pulls off the panel and replaces the relays ::

Host SM_Pam says:
<Computer> CO: Commander Jinxx is not on the station.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CIV*:  Good work.  

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@CSO: Can you find the panel or junction that may be blocking or masking the power there?

 Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CIV*:  We now have a new problem.  The computers are either lying, or something has gone majorly wrong... and Commander Jinxx is “apparently” no longer on the station.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Interesting. Please see what you can do.. :: she sighs with relief as a response comes through :: *MO*: Lieutenant, please have your teams check the quarters of the civilians. Give them all of the proper items to protect themselves from freezing. Also check on the snow levels.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  I have been scanning the entire network, and at the moment, I have found nothing.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: Where are you at?  We could link up with you.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CIV*:  And there's a tree in the Cmdr's office, decorated and with lights on it.  Mean anything to you?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: nods with brow furrowed ::   CSO: Continue, Kalek.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  However.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: Are the lights blinking?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CIV*:  I'm in the command center.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
*CO*: Try and do a complete reboot of all systems, and rebooting one by one.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<MO_Treston>*CMO*: We will do it right away Commander. I will contact you with further information.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CIV*:  Yes, they're blinking.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*MO*: Thank you Lieutenant. :: she closes the com by tapping her combadge :: CEO: So, did it work?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  I believe we could override the primary protocols to the station's main computer core and try to cause a system overload, linked to environmental controls.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: makes a funny look at the question of whether or not they're blinking ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: If they are blinking, it could be a timer doing a count down.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@CSO: I like that.  Do it...and quickly, please.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CMO: This is a true mystery.  I have replaced the relays and everything seems normal.  What gives?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CIV*:  Then get here on the double.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: We are on our way.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Well it is up to you to find out Lieutenant. ::Smiles a bit:: CEO: You are the Engineer.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CEO:  Have you tried, or considered rebooting each system one by one?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  The computer will run a defensive algorythm and will more likely restart the system.  That is what I truly hope.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@<Inn>:: listening to subspace and all the traffic out there ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: That was my next step.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: nods and initiates the process ::  OPS:  Aye Sir.  :: taps a few buttons on his console ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: heads to the Command Center as quickly as possible ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she notices the list of ships that came and left come on the console. She starts to read them over ::

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@:: the sensors show that the red orb is now oblong, with something in front of it.  Tries to boost the sensors for better resolutions ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: exits the command center, moving back toward the promenade ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Initiating primary link to the main computer core.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: How are your bomb defusing skills?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: Why do you ask?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she taps her combadge :: *CO*: Yates to Captain Vince.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Just in case.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Computer: Shut down station primary computer functions and go to back ups and reboot primary computer core.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CMO*:  Go ahead Doctor.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: What is this "idea" you have?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: bumps into the CIV and CTO ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: I have discovered the departure lists for the Starbase. There is not anything suspicious on it in the slightest. It looks like this is going to be harder then I thought. However, I have a small hunch.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Entering first code layer...  no, stand by... the link is fluctuating....  :: taps more buttons ::    compensating.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: runs into the CO ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV/CTO:  See if you can find a pattern in the blinking to determine how long the countdown is, and try to locate and/or diffuse any bomb, if there is one.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Where is this "tree"?

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@COM:Triton: This is Commander K`Vas I am inbound on a shuttle , request status report.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  In the Commander's office.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Suddenly the lights come on and the music over the comm changes to a new song

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: waiting for the computer’s response ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CMO*:  What's your hunch?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: moves off to the office, ensuring that the CTO is still with her ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Good work getting those lights back up Lieutenant.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@<Inn> COM: XO: Sir, this is the Triton.  I'll put Commander Anari on...please stand by.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: I believe that whatever is happening here is somehow related to Commander Jinxx. It is highly unprobable that she would be gone at a time like this when this is in fact her starbase.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Link established, attempting to override the environment system security protocols.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: enters the office and sees the tree ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@<Inn>:: turns ::  OPS: Commander, a communication is coming in from Commander K'Vas.  He is requesting a status report.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir I didn't do a thing.  The lights just came back by themselves.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CMO*:  And she could program the computers to lie with her access codes.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CMO*:  I'll keep that in mind.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: moves towards the viewscreen ::   Inn: On screen.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: I do you have a tricorder with you?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Really?  Interesting.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: raises an eyebrow as the lights come on :: *CO*: Exactly Captain. Understood.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: realizes a change on the station's status ::  OPS:  Commander?  The station's lights are back.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir there is more here than meets the eye.

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: The snow begins to intensify more now and people all over the station continue to complain

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: returns to the promenade ::

 CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: No I don't.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@<Inn>:: turns on the viewscreen ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: walks around the tree and studies it ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Looks harmless, doesn't it?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: Then we shall do this the hard way. It has been long since my training.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: sees a small cord running from the tree to the wall ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<MO_Treston>*CMO*: Treston to Commander Yates.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@XO: This is commander Anari.  Sir, all traffic is requested to hold position outside SB 16.  There is a situation going on the station and we have people there looking into the situation as we speak.  Apparently Cmdr Jinx is no longer on the station.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir, there could be a shapeshifter about or an entity that is not visible.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: bends down and examines the cord ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she taps her combadge :: *MO*: Go ahead Lieutenant. What do you have?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: turns and quickly asks ::   CSO: How are things coming, Mr. Kalek?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: touches the cord ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  I know, so watch your back.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: What do you think? :: indicating the cord ::

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: The Captain is surprised to see another giant tree, brightly decorated , shining from the atrium in the promenade

 CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  I have gained access to the main computer core...  now I'll attempt to cause the system overload.  But I am not certain that will work, Commander... stand by.  :: runs his fingers over the console ::

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@COM:OPS: I have detected an incoming contact also, please advise the captain of the contact and that I am in route.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<MO_Treston>*CMO*: It does not look good. The crew quarters are not flooded with snow however they are in fact freezing cold, but with the proper precautions they will be fine.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*All*:  Where the #@$! did this tree come from?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: pulls out his knife from it's sheath hidden from sight ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@COM: XO: Aye sir.  Can you give details on the contact?

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir ever think of the "Q" may be doing this?

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: Beneath it are beautifully wrapped gifts with name tags on them and a giant list hanging from the tree

 Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*All*:  There's another tree here, and it wasn't here an hour ago!

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*MO*: Understood Doctor. Great work. If you need my assistance please let me know. :: hears Vince come through :: *CO*: I will scan the area around you Captain. :: she attempts to scan that area ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: pulls the cord from the wall ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Self:  What have I walked into this time?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*All*:  Lights, decorations... and wrapped gifts under it.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  I'm so tired of the Q.

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@COM:OPS: Seems to be some sort of vessel, red in color, but my sensors are unable to provide any more detail than that.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: begins to look for a reasonable and logical reason for what is happening ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: looks up to see if the lights have stopped blinking ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@COM: XO: Is it heading towards SB 16, sir?

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Agreed but never the less it must be considered.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: You must be more careful! That could set it off.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: takes a closer look at the tree, and the gifts ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: hands begin to pull programs one by one attempting to find a reason ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Who wants to live forever?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Besides, I always want to go out in a blaze of glory.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Failed.  System remains operational.

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: On the shuttle the sensors can make out eight figures ahead of the red object now.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain, sensors do not indicate anything special in your area. :: sighs :: *CO*: Of course, they seem to be out of whack anyway.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: sighs ::     CSO: Can you access their computer core and try a shut down that way?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: But  let me remind you that you swore to protect the federation, not end it in carelessness.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CMO*:  Understood.

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: The Captain reads the list with the headings..."Naughty and Nice"

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Negative, Commander.  The computer is not accepting any other commands.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Computer: Computer, increase the temperature of the starbase to normal standards.

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@COM: Yes it seems to be on an intersecting course between SB-16 and myself.  :: rechecks his sensors ::  I am showing 8 small fiqures in front of the orb, unable to identify as weapons or not.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Liven up a bit. :: smiles ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: reading the list ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: nods ::   CSO: Thank you...continue doing what you can.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Aye, aye, sir.  :: works and keeps listening the com ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: thinks...red with eight figures? ::   COM: XO: Have you ever heard of Santa Claus?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: scans the area ::  OPS:  I have the same readings here, Commander.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@CSO: You do?   :: is almost certain now ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Self: Wait a minute, T'Ponga did mention something about human custom with a lighted tree?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: Anari to Captain Vince.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  Go ahead.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  I am searching for disruptors, torpedo launchers and shielding systems.  :: scans ::

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@:: with a growl to his voice :: COM:OPS: SANTA CLAUSE???.  Have you been drinking on duty commander? That is a myth my wife wants to teach our children.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: Sir, the XO is on his way.  He's made contact with a red object that has eight figures ahead of it.  Do you know of Santa Claus?

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: Suddenly there is a puff of white smoke and a small, fat man dressed in a red suit appears

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@COM: XO: Sir...I am with child.  No...I have NOT been drinking!

 Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  Never heard of him.  Where's this contact?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she sighs a bit and stands up from her console :: CEO: Any luck Lieutenant?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: senses ::   *CO*: On the station.

St_Nick says:
:: looks around him and smiles then waves his hand ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  Can you pinpoint it any better for me?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: moves away from the tree ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  I cannot detect any weapons nor shielding system...  suggest we maintain yellow alert.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@CSO: Make it so.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Well one problem solved, now for the next.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: I can't...I just sense him.  Check by some tree.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
Self:  Some tree?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she walks over to another console and taps a few more buttons ::

 Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@COM:OPS: Is that what you think, Santa Clause is coming to the station?  I would like to be there to see the look on the CO's face when you submit that report.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: Sir, by a tree with lights and gifts underneath.

St_Nick says:
:: waves his hand again and the snow stops and the temperature begins to rise on the station ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: starts looking all around himself and the tree ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  That's where I am.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: feels some warmth and looks around :: Computer: Are you increasing the temperature?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@COM: XO: The report is submitted...and the CO is surprised, sir.

St_Nick says:
:: pulls out a pipe and starts smoking it happily ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Computer>CMO: Negative.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Commander... :: frowns a bit ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@~~~ CO: Move around the tree my love. ~~~

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  The temperature is rising on the station.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CIV: Any  idea what that was all about?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@CSO: How is that?

Host SM_Pam says:
@ACTION: The red object is now detectable as a sleigh with eight small reindeer in front of it. It stops just outside the station and hovers there

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: sees a fat man in a red suit, smoking a pipe ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  I cannot explain.  It just happened.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  I think I see him.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Nope, but lets find the Captain. He reported another tree on the station.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she taps her combadge :: *CO*: Captain, it looks like the temperature aboard the station is rising.

 Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CMO*:  Good job you two.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@*CO*: If I remember right...he is St. Nick...or Santa Claus.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Uhh.. we did not do anything sir.

St_Nick says:
:: sees a large angry person approaching ::  CO:  I apologize for the snow and cold young man.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  Another Q?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CO*:  I do not believe so.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
St Nick:  Stop right there and identify yourself!

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@:: sees the sleigh and reindeer.  Has the computer run the image against 'santa clause', frowns at the results ::

St_Nick says:

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@~~~ CO: I don't think we want to do that, my love. ~~~

St_Nick says:
CO: I don't think you want to do that son.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  Why not?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
St Nick:  What’s 's going on?  Are you responsible for the snow, funny readings, music, and the lights?

St_Nick says:
CO: What?   What do you mean?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@~~~ CO: They are...not hostile.  I sense benevolence from them. ~~~

 Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
COM:OPS: Have confirmed your suspicions, I owe you an apology commander.  :: sees the new image on the viewscreen :: aloud: Hu'tegh!

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  They?~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she raises an eyebrow :: ~~~OPS: Are you seeing what I am seeing?~~~

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Please forgive me if I am skeptic.  I do not believe in fairy tales, Commander.  :: scans the red contact, runs a metalurgic analysis ::

St_Nick says:
CO: Don't you recognize a White Christmas?  Christmas Carols?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: giggles ::   COM: XO: You can make that apology in person, Commander!  Hope to have you aboard shortly, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@COM: XO: Sir, until I get clearance, please hold outside of SB 16.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: runs a quark resonance scan on the reindeer  ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she reaches the Promenade and looks over towards Vince :: CO: What is going on Vince? :: she looks at the tree and then the man ::

St_Nick says:
:: continues to read the list and shakes his head :: CO: This list...I had to borrow your "computers" to find the Naughty and Nice people.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Your guess is at good as mine.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: hears the command, and puts his knife back in it's place and his phaser rifle on his back, but ready for action if need be::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she looks towards the man :: Nick: And you are?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
ST Nick:  It was you?  What's this all about?  Who sent you?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: runs back to promenade ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: heads towards the promenade ::

St_Nick says:
:: looks around and waits for everyone to get there ::  *OPS*: You are on the nice list my dear . :: smiling ::

St_Nick says:
*OPS*: It says here "very nice".

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: is somewhat puzzled at the events that have unfolded ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
St Nick:  Where is Commander Jinxx?  

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@:: smiles at the jolly man ::

St_Nick says:
CMO: And you are on the "very nice" list as well.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
@CSO: Can you get scans of St. Nick?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: looks towards the man :: Nick: I suppose that is a good thing.

St_Nick says:
All: Cmdr Jinxx?  Why she's visiting her mother.

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
@:: docks and powers down the shuttle.  Enters the docking ring and heads for the promenade of the station :: *CO*: Captain this is Commander K`Vas I have docked and am in route to the promenade on SB-16.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: scans the man called St. Nick ::  OPS:  Scanning.

St_Nick says:
CMO: Better than on the very naughty list.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged Commander.  Glad to have you here.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Nick: I suppose that is true. However, what does this list mean?

St_Nick says:
CSO: Why it says here you are also on the nice list.  Congratulations!

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Her mother?  Why isn't she on the station?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@OPS:  Sensors show no readings whatsoever, Commander.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: raises an eyebrow :: CO: We would have been told if she left. She does need clearance to leave the starbase... and why would she leave when this was happening?

St_Nick says:
CMO: Young lady you're asking for a lump of coal.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: back on the promenade ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: raises an eyebrow :: Nick: I am sorry. I just don't understand exactly.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CO: Sir?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: listens to the man's voice and ignores it, he being an Earth mythological creature ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: nods for CTO to take one side, and the CIV to take the other, in a flanking fashion ::

St_Nick says:
:: looks further down the list :: CIV:  It shows you on the nice list but you really need to work on improving things before next year.

St_Nick says:
CEO: Hmm, it says here you're stubborn, but nice!

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: take his position ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
St. Nick: And you point is....?

St_Nick says:
CIV: Obviously you need more work on manners.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: giggles a bit at Nick's comment towards Alex ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
St Nick:  Yes, what's the deal with this 'nice' list.

St_Nick says:
CTO: Oh tsk...the naughty list...shooting at things isn't nice.

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
:: makes his way through the snow towards the CO and the others ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Is this possible?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
St. Nick: Where does it show that I have to polite to intruders?

St_Nick says:
XO: And you..why you're on both lists....very interesting.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: shrugs to the CEO ::

St_Nick says:
CIV: You shouldn't have to be told.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: This is not logical at all.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: smiles a bit at Alex :: CIV: It is ok Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CEO:  That's the only thing I'm certain of.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
St Nick:  May I ask, what your intentions are toward this station?

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
:: growls :: St. Nick:  What list? CO: Captain why is this little man standing here with a list in the snow?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
St Nick: It is in my breeding and I am a tactiton. I do so to harm if necessary.

St_Nick says:
:: looks at the large angry one again :: CO: Here you are!  Nice...but...you need to take more time off more often to spend with your family.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: whispers :: CO: One good punch and I could drop him like a sack of potatoes.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: looks towards the other Klingon man and raises an eyebrow towards him ::

St_Nick says:
CO: Why nothing but peace and good will for the station and you all my boy.

 St_Nick says:
All: I have to be on my way....Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. :: lays a finger upside his nose and disappears ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
XO:  Greetings K'Vas, son of Malok.  I'm Vince, son of DoQ'maRR, Captain of the Triton.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: raises an eyebrow :: All: That was.. interesting.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: St. Nick vanishes in a puff of smoke and the sleigh moves off and off the sensors

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
St Nick:  Wait... What?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: turns to everyone ::  All: Can anyone tell me what the $#@$ that was all about?

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
:: does a cross chest salute :: CO: It is an honor to serve with another Klingon warrior.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
XO:  I trust the honor will be mine.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Self: Great.. two of them. :: smiles a bit to herself ::

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
:: is still in some what sort of a shock ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: remembering what the stranger said about spending time with his family ::

Host XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
CO: Lets up hope that glorious adventures lay ahead...ta'mey Dun, bommey Dun :: laughs a roaring laugh ::
