Summary: The senior staff of the USS Triton has returned home. The USS Peregrine has already left taking the damaged shuttle in tow to the nearest Starbase.

Host JonB says:
The crew has been ordered back to Starbase 16, but has been asked to first investigate the presence of a Talarian Freighter in the Briar Patch. At the moment they are within 10 minutes away from the border of the Patch.

Host JonB says:
This is the continuing voyages of the starship Triton. To seek out and hope they don't get hurt. To boldly go were no sane individual would (that's why they go in pairs).  < Cool trekky music plays here>

Host JonB says:
Don't go nowhere, the first exciting chapter in “Lost Boys”, is coming.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::Michelle makes her way onto the Bridge of the USS Triton for one of the first times since arriving aboard the vessel. She smiles as she looks around at all of the Bridge Officers. Michelle says hello to several of the Junior Officers as she makes her way to the command ring::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::in the ready room seated at the desk::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::stands::  XO:  Enter.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::looks over his shoulder:: CNS: I'll let you know when I get out

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She makes her way over to the Counselor's chair and takes it:: FCO: Lieutenant, how far away are we from the Briar Patch. ::She smiles at the XO:: XO: I look forward to it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::steps into the ready room:: CO: Sir you want to see me?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CNS: We are about ten minutes out sir.

Host JonB says:
Action: The ship feels a slight bump from space turbulence and a canister in cargo bay falls over and lands on OPS foot.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
XO:  Yes please.  Have a seat.  ::sits back down behind the desk::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
<CSO Lt. Carter> SO:  Any indications of false vacuums or metastable sectors listed on record for the Briar Patch?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::slowly moves to a seat and works his way into it::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks back toward the Cadet at science:: SO: I don't believe we have had the pleasure of meeting. I'm Michelle Campbell. ::She makes her way over to the two officers at science:: CSO/SO: Anything new to report regarding your scans?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::watches the XO:: XO:  How are you feeling Mark?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::in her office in engineering cursing in Klingon::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
:: yells in pain ::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Good to meet you, Counselor.  I am Cadet Tierney.  I'm going over the sensor readings now.  I'll let you know in a minute.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
FCO: Thank you, Lieutenant. Let me know when we reach the Briar Patch. Do not take us in until ordered.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS/CSO:  I am referencing the database and looking for any signs of high-energy particles, and also looking for any unstable tunnels in lower energy states.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CNS: Understood sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: Sore but nothing to stop me from doing my duty sir

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: Thank you. When you know anything of use, please let me know. ::She looks toward the Operations Station and notices the Operations Manager is missing:: *OPS*: Bridge to Lieutenant Gaeb.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::nods::  XO:  Starfleet has authorized me to give you this.  ::pushes a small box across the desk towards the XO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out loud: How in the name of Kahless do they want me to keep the impulse manifolds super cooled going through the Briar Patch?  It won't work unless we put in to space dock for a week. Qu'Valth!!!!!

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
<CSO Lt. Carter> CNS:  Nice to meet you, Commander.  ::Holds his hand out.::  Welcome aboard the USS Triton.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::reaches forward and takes the box and then leans back::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::opens the box::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She takes his hand:: CSO: The pleasure is mine, Lieutenant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::goes storming out of her office:: EO: Bring me that PADD on the pool table.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::motions to the PADD she wants::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
XO:  On behalf of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets you are hereby awarded a Purple Heart in recognition of the injuries you suffered in ensuring the survival of your crewmates.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
*CNS*: Yes commander

EO_Ens_Keller says:
::Is thinking about his family:: CEO: Huh? Oh, Right sir!

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
<CSO Lt. Carter> ::Nods to her.::  CNS:  Right about now, we're just looking for any indications of false vacuums or unstable sectors in the area.  We should have results soon.

Host JonB says:
Action: A liquid begins to seep out of the container that fell over.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
::Grabs the CEO the PADD::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *OPS*: Please report to the Bridge. We are nearing the Briar Patch and require the Operations Manager here. I do hope you have been working on a way to enhance our communications.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::stares at the medal and slowly closes the box:: CO: Thank you sir I'm honored but I was just doing my job

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CSO: Very good. Please let me know when you do. ::She makes her way back toward the command ring:: *CEO*: Bridge to Main Engineering.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::reading the PADD:: *CNS*: Yes Commander?

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
*CNS*: I'm on my way sir, but don't expect to be able to communicate from inside that thing, the briar patch is the briar patch...

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
XO:  You suffered injuries in battle Commander.  You earned that medal.  ::stands and salutes the XO::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
*CEO*: Commander, we are nearing the Briar Patch. I would like either you or Ensign Keller on the Bridge to monitor the Engineering Station.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::works his way back to his feet and holds out a hand to his captain::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
*OPS*: I know you'll do your best to at least try, Lieutenant. I will see you in a few minutes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CNS*: Understood I will be there shortly.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::leans across the desk and shakes the XO's hand::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
:: walk out of the cargo bay toward the nearest turbolift ::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
FCO: Are we nearing the Briar Patch, Lieutenant? ::She takes a seat in her chair::

Host JonB says:
Action: The liquid begins to fill the bay with a terrible smell.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
EO: Listen I know you are new but I need these run through the simulator.  The captain is going to get me shot if I don't find a way to keep the manifolds cool.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
TL: Bridge

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CNS: We are nearing it now sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: Was there anything else you want to speak to me about?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Commander, I'm getting a report .. from the cargo bay attendants .. something about a smell?

EO_Ens_Keller says:
CEO: Aye sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: What sort of smell?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::still standing::  XO:  I've been meaning to talk to you about Commander Mo'Bri.  I'm not pleased with her performance of her duties lately.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
EO: There is something I want you to try and do.  See if you can run gaseous cryonetrium through the manifolds in the simulations.  IF they keep the manifolds cool at full impulse then there is a chance I can keep the ship from blowing up.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Something rather stinky, .. Ma'am.  Backed-up sewage was the word the odor as.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
CEO: Aye sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She shakes her head:: SO: Dispatch operations personnel to the location and have them begin repairs.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
EO: Keep me informed of your findings.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
CEO: Aye sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::hands him the PADD and walks out of engineering::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: And make sure the smell does not get up here. ::She smiles a bit::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Nods to the CNS.::  CNS:  Aye, Commander.  ::Sends the request to maintenance.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
EO: By the way you are in charge.  I am going to the bridge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::sits on the arm of the chair:: CO: I figure you have not been since her outburst about her flagship recommendation

EO_Ens_Keller says:
CEO: Right.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
:: walk out of the turbolift to his console and sit ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::nods and continues out to the TL::

Host JonB says:
Action: AS OPS walks onto the bridge the bridge crew gets a whiff a smelly order.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
XO:  I need to know that my officers will be obey orders when I need them to.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CNS: We are two minutes away from the Briar Patch sir.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Lifts her nose up in the air thinking she smells rotten eggs.::  Out loud:  Someone smell something?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::sends the turbolift up to the bridge post haste::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She turns as the smell fills the Bridge:: OPS: Lieutenant, what exactly did you bring with you? ::She nods:: FCO: Very good.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: I agree with you sir

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: I seat down with her and get it straighten out

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Commander, there's a problem.  It appears the cargo bay is not the only thing backed up.  Maintenance will not be able to attend to the .. ::clears her throat as she looks at OPS.:: smell .. for thirty more minutes, Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::nods at the XO then smiles::  XO:  I need to be able to trust my officers as thoroughly as I have come to trust you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::steps off the lift onto the bridge:: CNS: Mo'Bri reporting sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Bridge to Ensign Keller. ::She nods:: CEO: Welcome to the Bridge, Commander. Please take your station.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CNS: Bring with me? Nothing, you wanted me to bring you something?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::walks to her console and opens it up and sets up the open com with Engineering::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO:... that is just fantastic. What else is backed up?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
OPS:  Bad day at the office, Sir?  ::Chuckles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CNS: Sir we have reached the Patch.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
OPS: Lieutenant, increase ventilation on the Bridge for now.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
SO: I don't see what is being funny here, cadet!

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: Keep this com line open between here and you.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: Well I'm glad that you can trust me sir. If there isn't anything else I would like to talk to you about something that has troubled me

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
XO:  What is it?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Ma'am?  Hopefully nothing else.  At least not as far as the nose .. er eyes can see, Ma'am.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
FCO: All stop, Lieutenant. ::She taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Campbell to Captain Luchena.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CEO*:Aye.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CNS: Aye sir

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
*CNS*:  I'm here Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: Sir what I am about to say is off the record man to man

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
OPS:  Aye, Sir.  My apologies.  ::Chuckles under her breath.::  Silently to self:  Stinky.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CNS: Understood sir.  Bringing the ship to a full stop.  ::hands move over the console bringing the Triton to a slow but steady stop::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: Ensure that we aren't sparing to many personnel to clean up the stink. We'll need them for when we enter the Briar Patch. ::She pauses:: *CO*: We have reached the Briar Patch, Captain. Permission to enter?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::sits back down::  XO:  Proceed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::runs a third simulation on the manifolds::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
*CNS*:   Do we know exactly where the Talarian ship entered?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Aye, Commander.  We have a full alpha team, and beta team on standby if needed.  Science is running continual scans of the area.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CEO: Commander, have you developed a method to fast cool the impulse manifolds? *CO*: Negative, Captain. I will have science begin scans now. ::She looks at the SO:: SO: See if you can determine where the Talarian ship entered.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: During this last mission twice I had to argue with you about putting yourself in danger for no need. In the end you are the captain and I'll respect and obey your order. Yet it does make my job hard and it makes me wonder if you are trying to prove something

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::watches the simulation:: Computer: Add four more liters of gaseous cryonetrium to the equation and run again.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
OPS: Lieutenant, will the back up in the Cargo Bay affect the health of the crew?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::chuckles::  XO:  Only that I'm careless with my life at times.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: Now I can be completely out of line but I want to let you know what I was thinking

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CNS: Back up! What back up?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
OPS:  Oh, I meant to tell you.  Your cargo bay kind of stinks.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
XO:  I'll try to be more considerate in the future.  Will you be meeting with the Chief right away?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::fist comes down hard as the simulation does not work again::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
OPS: Lieutenant, have you not been paying attention to your department? ::She watches him closely. She really needs to have a session with him::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::smiles:: CO: If her duties allow, and thank you for your time. Oh and the medal

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CNS: I was in the cargo bay when you called me, I would have seen if some conduits were broken there

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
OPS:  I sent a request to maintenance, but apparently they're backed up for the moment .. said they wouldn't get there for 30 minutes .. well 25 minutes now.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
OPS: Please check your scans and confer with Cadet Tierney. ::She smiles at the Cadet as she chimes in::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::stands and gestures for the XO to take his chair::  XO:  There's peanuts in the top drawer.  ::heads to the door of the ready room::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Is thankful that the air is starting to clear now on the bridge.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Computer:  Add another four liters of gaseous cryonetrium to the manifolds but this time add copper tubing to hold liquid nitrogen as well and run the simulation again.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::watches the simulation::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
SO: That is because you asked them instead of going through me as part of the proper chain of command

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::stands as the CO exits the ready room::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CNS: I'll have someone check it out right now

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
OPS:  You were busy, Sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
OPS: I gave her that order, Lieutenant. You were not on the Bridge at the time.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CEO: Commander?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
*CEO* Arca to Mo'Bri

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::steps out onto the bridge::  CNS: Report.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: Get two people and start making me some copper tubing.  We may need it to run liquid nitrogen through the impulse manifolds in.......hold for a second.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
OPS:  Must have had quite the workout too, I'm assuming?  ::Grins at him.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: Sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Yes sir?

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
*AOPS*: Ensign Tide, please report to cargo bay one and see if everything is in order

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks up from her chair at the Captain:: CO: We have reached the border of the Briar Patch. We are awaiting for our sensors to determine if we can find out where the Talarian ship may have entered.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::nods::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
*CEO*: If you have a few minutes to spare please report to the ready room

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CO: Oh, and there is a backup near the Cargo Bay which has caused some rather unpleasant smells.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CEO*:Copper tubing and what sir?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
SO:  Can our sensors penetrate that mess?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::moves over to the captains chair and slowly seats in it:: Self: Hmmm more comfortable then it looks

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: I would love to but commander I have been given the task to keep the impulse manifolds cool while going through the Patch.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CNS: You asked her so she contacts me and I order the proper people to do the job, that’s how it works

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
*CEO*: Do you think your staff can handle it for a few minutes?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: And get them wound round the manifolds inside or out side which ever is simpler to do to add to the gaseous cryonetruim that will be pumped through there.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks at OPS:: OPS: We will discuss this later if you wish, Lieutenant. ::She smiles briefly as she watches him::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Sensors do not appear to penetrate into the Briar Patch, Sir.  I'm not certain what effects they will have once we are inside.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CEO*:Aye sir.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
SO: You will have to explain to me someday your sense of humour, I really don't get it. Is it because of you or is it a human thing?

EO_Ens_Keller says:
::Gets other EO's to help with the tubing::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::sniffs the air::  CNS:  What's that smell?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Sir I am not sure, my staff know what I want but the simulations say it won't work without a week at space dock.  I am trying to jury rig a fast cooling system now.  But if it is necessary I can come.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She shakes her head:: CO: Don't ask, Captain. Operations is on the job.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::thinks to self:: I know what this is about.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Gives him the rabbit look.::  OPS:  Humor?  Probably a human thing, Sir.  ::Winks.::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She chuckles a bit at the Cadet's response::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
*CEO*: Chief make a judgment call can you spare the time or no?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::sighs:: *XO*: I will be there sir.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
SO:  Do we know where the ship entered the area?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: Ens. the ball is in your court.  Don't fail me son!!!

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::shoots a glare at the CEO::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
*EO*: Counselor Campbell to Ensign Keller. ::She crosses her legs as she picks up a PADD from next to her chair::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO/CNS:  I'm picking up a faint trail that ends after it entered the Briar Patch, about 30 Kilometers from our position.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CNS*:Yes, sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Sir forgive me but it is how my staff and I work in unison.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
Out loud and trying to trace the trail:  Very faint ..

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
SO:  I guess we'll just follow them in and hope we can track them.  FCO:  Enter the briar patch at those coordinates.  1/3 impulse.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
*EO*: Unfortunately I was unable to ask Commander Mo'Bri at the time. Is Engineering prepared to perform a rapid cooling of the manifolds if necessary?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::gets up and walks over to the ready room door and hits the chime::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
*CEO*: Enter

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::has no idea what that was about and shakes his head as the CEO leaves the bridge::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
<AOPS_Tide>OPS: Ensign Tide reporting sir, I have found a crate out of place and broken. The manifest says it is full, or was full of chemical fertilizer for the hydroponics bay

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  It is still Federation space, Sir, so I don't imagine they are going to challenge a Federation vessel.  But I could be wrong.  I've been wrong before.  
To self:  Once .. maybe twice.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CNS*:Not yet, but we're working on it.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks over at the Captain for a moment and then back at the CEO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::enters the ready room::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
OPS:  What did you find out about health and safety inspections, non-Federation ship wise?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: Have a seat commander

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
*EO*: We're entering the Briar Patch now, Ensign. We really need you to have that ready as soon as possible. Please let me know when you have it up and running. Make that your top priority.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CNS: Understood sir. 1/3 impulse on the coordinates given to me.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::sits::

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CNS*:Aye sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: Do you have any idea why you are here?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
SO:  Watch the sensors carefully.  I presume they also went to impulse when they entered.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CO: Captain, may I recommend that we go a bit less than 1/3 impulse? According to my research, our impulse manifolds may overheat at exactly 1/3 impulse.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Yes Mark I do.

Host JonB says:
Action: As the Triton enters the Briar Patch scanners begin the crackle, but not completely.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: Sir, before we consider health consideration for an inspection, isn't their presence in Federation space already a cause for action?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO:  As the CNS suggested.  Reduce speed slightly.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  I would tend to agree.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CO: Reducing speed now sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: Just to make sure we are on the same page, why do you think you are here?

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
*EO*: Thank you Ensign. I know you'll do superbly. ::She turns her attention back to her PADD::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
SO: We'll need to adjust what we are looking for.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: My attitude and my lack thereof in accepting orders.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
*AOPS*: Have the cargo bay sealed and send a chemical cleaning crew

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CSO Carter:  Scans are becoming distorted, but I may be able to compensate for the noise.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CNS:  Did something happen in the cargo bay?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
<CSO Carter> SO:  Increasing resolution to scans.  Try it now.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CO: That is where the smell seems to be coming from. I believe there is some sort of backup there. Lieutenant Gaeb is now coordinating the clean up there, sir.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  Working on it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: That is correct, is there a reason why you ignore or argue with orders?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CNS:  Ahhh.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She wonders what exactly they will find when and if they find the Talarian ship:: CO: As long as it doesn't harm the crew, I believe we shall be fine. However, it may damage morale if it spreads. ::She grins a bit::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Continues her search for the vessel they are looking for.::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::looks at the back of OPS head::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Mark you know how I am.  I love my job and the change is to quick and to fast.  I am unaccustomed to having someone telling me what to do and when.  It is hard since Kasey and K'Vas have been gone.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::smiles back distractedly at the CNS::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Scans appear to be effected by the heavy radiation in the area, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: I have no problem in taking the captain's orders but some of them I question for a reason.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::Michelle wonders the condition the Talarians will be in. She hopes for the... best::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
SO:  Is there nothing we can track them with?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: I do understand, you are exactly like my wife and I do cut you slack. Yet I'm not in command of this ship and you have to follow the rules of the captain. Is that understood?

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CO/SO: Would a probe offer us some assistance?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::shakes head:: XO: I am Klingon and proud of my heritage.  To have some one in my opinion disrespect me or dishonor me is like some one putting a pain stick in my side.  It hurts.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
OPS:  Put the forward view on-screen.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::looks to the SO for the answer::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Worth a shot.  ::Looks at the CSO who nods to her that he will have one prepared.::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: Yes sir

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CEO*:Keller to Mo’Bri

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Yes my sister is stubborn but she is more Vulcan than I am Betazoid.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: We should loose communications with the outside of the patch in a few moments

Host JonB says:
Action: As the screen comes on, a scene of red swirling matter is seen.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Excuse me please.  *EO*: Yes what have you go for me son.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CEO*:We've got the tubing in place, but even with this system, we won't get full impulse.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks at the view screen curiously. She had been in the Briar Patch once before and recalls what it looked like then::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: Hold on that note for a minute.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::looks at the screen::  Self:  That's beautiful.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CEO*:Aye

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: You are a Starfleet officer and when you took your commission you put the Starfleet first above everything. I understand that sometimes your blood boils but you have to learn control

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::contemplates doing up the yacht in a similar colour scheme::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
CO: Just wait until the colors begin to change constantly. :She smiles a bit::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
OPS:  Let me know when we pass the point of no return.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Lt. Carter has prepared a probe for launch.  Shall I send it off?

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks at the CO:: SO: As long as the Captain approves it, I believe you should send her soaring.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Mark you are an engineering officer or were but what we are trying to do is cool the manifolds by using liquid nitrogen in addition with gaseous cryonetrium to keep the manifolds cool.  And yes I do understand what you are saying.  I am working with the counselor.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
SO:  Yes, let 'er loose.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  Launching now. ::Launches the probe.::

Host JonB says:
Action: The probe fires out of the Torpedo tube.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: Good but one last thing for the next two days after your shift is over. You will report to waste management and work under the shift manager for that shift. Is that understood?

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: It should be just as soon as we loose visual contact with the outside starfield, but we could extend the range with communications relays

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Sir, long-range sensors have detected a blip .. but it's gone.  I'm attempting to get her back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Mark it is hard to temper a rabid Klingon and I am trying but some of his orders are somewhat insane. But yes I will follow them even if he has me blow up the ship if that is what he wishes.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She watches the view screen curiously, hoping that something will eventually appear::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
OPS:  That's a good idea.  Go ahead with it.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO: Adjust course towards the cadet's blip.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
*EO*: How is it going, Ensign?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CO: Understood adjusting course.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
*EO*:  Can we expect any problems keeping shields up in this pea soup?

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CNS*:I'm awaiting further orders from Commander Mo`Bri

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CNS*:And I don't think we need to worry about them.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: Unfortunately their range is limited and we don't have many of them

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She allows the CO to continue addressing Keller::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Attempts to focus scans on the area where the blip was seen.::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
OPS:  Every little bit will help Lieutenant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::looks at him:: XO: You got to be kidding waste management?  Ok I guess I deserved it.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
All: How big is their ship or did Starfleet Command not say?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: Good dismissed, and commander I don't want to have this conversation again

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CNS:  A standard Talarian freighter.  They didn't know how many were aboard.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Mark neither do I.  ::gets up and leaves::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
:: sends orders to the launch tube crews to prepare the communications probes ::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She nods to Mikal:: CO: Then it will be a great... surprise.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::steps on to the bridge quickly and heads for her console::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::sighs and closes his eyes::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  No luck with the probe yet.  I'll keep trying ...

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: Launching the first communication probe to be used as relay.... :: launches the probe ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::opens his eyes, uses the desk to help him get back to his feet and exits the ready room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: OK here is what we are going to do watch the temps as we infuse the liquid nitrogen and the gaseous cryonetrium together.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She watches J'Loni for a few moments before looking back toward the Cadet:: SO: Is it at least helping a tiny bit?

Host JonB says:
Action: A COM probe is launched out of the torpedo tube.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*EO*: Okay, Ready.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
<CEO>

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::watches the XO make his slow painful path across the bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::makes his way to his chair and takes a seat::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She smiles at the XO as he takes his seat::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Captain, we have a pretty good method of keeping the manifolds cool but I have to warn you now that going to full impulse in the Patch is not good.  I can keep them cool up to 3/4 but that is about it.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Smiles at the Counselor.::  CNS:  Not yet, Commander, but it's still too soon to tell.  I'm still working on it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: That should take care of the problem sir

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CEO:  I wasn't planning on going to full impulse Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::nods and smiles back at the CNS::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: Keep up the good work, Cadet.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Thank you for your confidence in me, Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
XO:  Thank you Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: Thank you for your suggestion chief

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Understood sir.  It was only an opinion sir.  Permission to put the works into progress.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Your welcome commander.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She smiles:: SO: Science was my first major. From what I can see, you are doing fantastic. ::She listens to the other conversations as well::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::can't believe how polite they are all being::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: Your welcome sir

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::wonders if perhaps they have blundered into some parallel universe::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks at the Captain for a moment and then the others. Was this how they really acted with one another?::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Actually, I think I just struck gold!  ::Looks at the scans, and then frowns.::  Change that .. it's gone again!  Must be the radiation.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  For a minute there, I had picked up a vessel.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: That radiation can be tricky. There has to be a way that we can somehow displace it ever so slightly...

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
::lowers his voice:: CO: So you know she will be working under the shift manger in waste management for the delta shift for two days.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: Do you have the slightest idea where?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::chuckles::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
SO: Can you put it on screen?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Captain? Can I put the works into work now sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: Hang on a sec.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CEO:  What?

EO_Ens_Keller says:
*CEO*: On your mark, sir.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  Well it appeared on scans long enough to plot a course.  Sending that information to helm.  
CO:  On screen ::presses a button.::  Now!

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: I was asking your permission to put the cooling program into effect sir.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::watches the view screen expectantly::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO/XO/CO: Well, at least we have something to go by. ::She looks at the screen::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CNS:  As long as the vessel doesn't track our movements, and I don't think it can if we can't track theirs, and then as long as they do not alter course, we should be okay.

Host JonB says:
Action: On the view screen is the freighter setting right next to very damaged Klingon BoP, and from the looks of it  very old.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: What speed do you recommend while this process goes on?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
All on bridge:  Humm.... salvaging perhaps?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Not more than 3/4.  Anything over that and we will not have a ship to fly.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
All: We should be careful when we do near them. After all, they are highly militaristic. They may have detection methods that we are unaware of.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  I have no idea, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
OPS:  Are we going to be able to get a communication link established?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
ALL:  I'm pulling up scans of the vessels now.

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
SO: Can you tell if their weapons are active or anything of that nature?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CO: Sir I recommend that we don't go over 1/2 impulse and allow engineering to cool down our engines immediately

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: You mean with those ships? No problem, we just can't get a message outside of the patch

Host JonB says:
Action: The Talarian vessel turns and leaves as the Triton gets closer, running at full impulse.

EO_Ens_Keller says:
::Drips into being lost in thought::

CNS_Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She watches the view screen curiously and attempts to get a "reading" on those aboard the other vessels::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO:  ETA to the ships?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Talarians are fleeing.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:
CO: But the relay seems to be working, for audio channels

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO:  After them!

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
<AFCO Hotshot> CO: You got it captain.  Going to 1/2 impulse now.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CO:  Bird of Prey is just floating.  It's not going anywhere.  I've documented its location in the database.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:
CEO: Do your best to keep the engines as cool as possible, I think we are going to run hot for a while

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: You got it commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO*: Get that cooling going we're gonna need it.
