CTO:  Ha ha Commander, do you need to do a tour with Chef?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  More importantly why are you and Bedford still standing and sitting on my bridge?

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: taps the new fangled pin on her chest :: *CO*: Captain, I'm waiting for you.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Jolts a bit as his name is mentioned, but finishes his current task and swivels to look at the Captain::  CO:  Sir?

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::blinks for a moment and tries to remember. It suddenly hits her and she utters a few swear words:: *Murray*: Thanks, Murray. You have Engineering... ::heads for the turbolift to the observation lounge.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: I was awaiting you oh glorious leader

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Rolls her eyes when she hears the comm::  AXO:  That is good Shannon.  Patience is good practice.  The rest of us will be there in a moment.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles and heads for the lounge::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Stands and follows the commander silently toward the observation lounge, watching his boots most of the way::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  You should be prostrating when you say that Commander.  Please follow the good Ensign.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Turns and heads for the observation lounge.::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: gets down on his hands and knee`s before the captain:: CO: We are not worthy, We are not worthy

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Flushes a bit, entering the lounge and taking a seat a few chairs down from the head of the table::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Rolls her eyes and shakes her head and gets and evil idea.  Steps onto his back and walks on him as she heads out.::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: looks at the cute OPS officer and smiles ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: winces:: Self: guess I asked for that

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::stands up and heads for the lounge::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Flushes a bit more when he sees Blarney looking at him, clearing his throat and running a finger inside his tunic collar to loosen it up a bit::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Enters the observation lounge and heads for the head of the table.  She sees Shannon there.::  AXO:  Your timing is good lass.

Action: The faint smell of farm chickens can be sniffed out of the air.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: stands :: CO: Just trying to do what your XO would do Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::walks in and takes a chair:: Self: hmmm that kink is gone from my back

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Grins::  AXO: Next time though part of the XO's job is getting these lazy sods into the room.  ::Winks at her.::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: spots Wall and frowns ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks at the AXO::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Points to the CTO:  AXO:  You can give him defaulters.  Chef needs his floor cleaned.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::heads into the lounge at nearly a run apologizing profusely:: All: Sorry! Sorry! Sorry, I'm late!

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Composes himself and slides his PADD onto the table, folding his hands in his lap::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CEO:  That is ok Ensign.. Have a seat.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::quickly takes her seat::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: grins at the thought :: CO: Oh I can really do that?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Just chuckles::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
All:  Everyone have a seat please.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::slips out a note book and a a pencil placing them before him on the table::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: takes a seat and begins to plot a nice reward for the CTO ::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
All:  To start with.  I like you all to welcome Ensign Bedford to the Alpha shift.  This is his first time on this watch.  I expect everyone to be nice to him.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Clears his throat again::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Quietly::  CO:  Thank you, Sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::pulls out a stick of gum and begins chewing::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: nods to Bedford noting his nervousness ::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
All:  As you we lost our Commander Arca to another assignment.  In this vein since we have an easy mission, I've decided to offer Shannon Blarney the position of AXO.  Since she is going to be training to run the new colony.  This is a good practice and learning vehicle for her.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
All:  It will give her the basis she well need to deal with the Federation.  Ensign Hogan will be her Mentor/and pseudo yeoman.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
All:  Questions?

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: stands and bows :: All: Tis a pleasure to be serving y'all. I promise not to be too hard on most of you.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
AXO: Yeah we`ll see missy

Action: The smell of manure is getting a little stronger.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::waits for a moment for any questions::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Sniffs a bit...thinks he must just be imagining it::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: winks at Wall with that "I’ll be seeing you" look ::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Looks to the captain and shakes his head::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::doesn't recall being anywhere near the pod to be stepping in manure, but casually leans slightly to the left as she looks on the bottom of her boots to see if there's anything there.::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Takes a wiff and closes her eyes and sighs.::  Self:  Nobody listens.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly ::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
AXO:  What did I tell you about the animals?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::gives the AXO that like hell you will look::

Action: Someone runs in and whispers something into the AOPS ear.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Blinks a few moments at first, surprised, then leans in closer to hear::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
CO: They've been rounded up and penned Captain. The CEO was supposed to finish the mucking out.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Captain, seems there's trouble with the environmental systems.  May I be excused to take a look?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
AXO:  Lesson number 50.  The Chief Engineer does not muck out stalls... that is the laborers of your colony or some of the enlisted.  Please use the appropriate people.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Go right ahead.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Stands, grabs his PADD, and hastily strides off to the bridge::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::smiles::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
CO: She was supposed to get some of the colonists to do it. I just told her too, Isn't that what an XO does?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Jogs over to the operations console and starts looking into things, first trying to figure out where exactly the problem was reported::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
AXO: If you go down to storage locker 32 you`ll find shovels.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
AXO:  You can get the colonists to do things also.  Being in charge doesn't always mean issuing orders.  You will just annoy the people around you and you don't earn the respect.  you need to show that you can do this also.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
Self:  Hmm.  ::Runs a few routine checks to ensure there aren't any underlying problems with the environmental systems::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
CO: But you order people around all the time.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
AXO:  I do, but I also do for myself also and I've already earned their respect.  You haven't.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: looks at Wall :: CTO: Since you know where the shovels are, I guess you could get them......please?

TO says:
:: stands at Tac ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
AXO: Do i look like farmer Joe?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
All:  We about to get underway.

TO says:
::notices something odd on his console:: *CTO*: Sir I’m detecting an unauthorized access to climate control port side.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
AXO:  You go prepare the colonists.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CEO:  Double check our engines I don't want to lose the pod

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  Get us out of orbit.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Sits down at his console, deciding to wait for the others to return to the bridge before issuing a report (and giving him more time to look into it in the meantime)::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
ALL:  Dismiss.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
CTO: As a matter of fact, you do resemble a certain disreputable old man in my hometown. He was a blighter!

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*TO*: Run a scan on internal sensors to see who or what is doing t and dispatch a security team

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: nods to the Captain and leaves ::

TO says:
*CTO*: Aye commander ::dispatches a security team and runs an internal sensor scan of the area::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CEO: you have anyone working at the port climate control?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Sputters a bit as he sees air circulation go completely offline::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: heads for the XO's chair just to see how it feels, then heads for the lift ::

TO says:
*CTO*: Commander the area is where the colonist is quartering animals

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Tries to manually reinitialize the system::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: swears to himself as he steps onto the bridge::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::shakes her head:: CTO: We don't have anyone manning the station, but I can get someone to check it.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::exits the observation lounge and heads back onto the bridge.::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CEO: Send our beloved AXO to deal with it. It`s where those dammn animals are

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: makes her way to the colony pod and looks for the Mayor ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::steps onto the bridge::* AXO*: Seems someone is accessing the port climate control. As it`s where your little pets are how about you wander down and see what’s going on.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::goes to her chair and takes a seat.::  aOPS:  Ok, so what is going on with the environmental systems?

 aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Turns in his chair as he hears the observation lounge doors open a few times, and sees the captain::  CO:  Captain, air circulation just went down.  Prior to that, the system was having some difficulty dealing with the animals' odor...but I'm not sure the two are related.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::nods and smiles:: CTO: You got it.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Seems somebody was messing with the climate control settings.  I'm not sure if I can right it on software only.  Engineering will probably have to look at it.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
*CTO*: I'm already heading there lad. Now you remember to find those shovels, my boy.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Nods: aOPS:  Have medical check it out too make sure there is no toxic fumes coming.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Muttering a little loud::  Self:  This is going to be a bloody long trip.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Self: I know where I’m gonna stick those shovels

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Opens the intercom to sickbay to report the situation, asking a medical team to check the air quality and report back::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: steps into the pod and spots the Mayor :: Mayor: Well there you are you lazy hound. What's up with the animals? The Captain is not happy with things.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::taps her commbadge:: *aXO*: Sir, I believe the problem with the smell is origination from your pod. Our systems aren't able to keep up with the concentration levels.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::heads for engineering::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::smacks the head of the guy next time him::  Clay: I told you not to touch that

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Sees the reply from Sickbay and turns a bit pale::  CO:  ...Erm, Sir, between the poor air quality and the lack of regeneration, we've probably got about an hour of usable air left ship wide if we can't get ventilation fixed.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::begins to run sensor sweeps::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::sees Shannon:: AXO: ah my dear girl how are things going with your new friends?

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: points past the Mayor :: Mayor: Fire! :: pushes the Mayor aside ::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
All: Someone get water!

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Self: now they’ve turned us into Noah`s arc ::shakes his head:: Self: suppose it`s too much to ask for some Tzenkethi to attack us?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::rubs her temples:;  AFCO:  Full stop

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
Mayor: Have you been hiding your smokes in there? Your wife is going to be furious.

Action: AS the AXO pushes the mayor out of the way, there stands a man all covered in black dust from a fried assess panel, and at that moment someone throws a pale of water at the AXO.

FCO says:
  CO: all stop captain.  ::stops the ship in full stop::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Captain permission to open the Romulan ale and get drunk later?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Shut down all unnecessary systems.  Air ventilation is priority.  Life support only.  All non essential personnel are to be confined to their room until the system is fixed.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::walks into engineering:: All: Murray! Have Abbott check on the environmental controls.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Please coordinate with Engineering.

Murray says:
 CEO: We've already been down that road, Sir. Too many times... the system isn't able to keep up.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: directs some men to douse the smoke with water ::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::grumbles:: Self: Lovely...

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
AXO: no it was starting to smell in here and i figure with this fancy ship it should be smellen a lot better. So Clay here was going to make it better see  ::points to the wall::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Starts punching buttons, shutting down nonessential systems and rerouting power to environmental controls::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Blinks and grimaces as he sees yet another light blinking on his console::  CO:  And, erm...seems there's a fire in the colony pod, which probably just...burnt off about thirty seconds of air, give or take.  Looks like it's under control, though....

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
Mayor: What in the world are you doing man? This Captain and her co-horts don't take kindly to us as it is and now you're setting the place on fire?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Frowns a bit and taps his combadge::  *CEO*:  Bedford to Ensign Hogan -- what's your status?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Commander send out a distress call.  We have approximately 1 hrs worth of air and need assistance.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: begins to dispatch security and marines to there damage control areas::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Captain damage control stations manned and ready

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Takes a second look at his cutaway diagram of the ship and narrows his eyes where the fire is...zooms in and takes a better look::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
Mayor: Faith and begorrah! Now I have to tell the Captain what you've done.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
*aOPS*: I'm in Main Engineering trying to see what I can do with the environmental controls.

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
AXO: Oh come on,  ::places his arm around her shoulder:: now way do that lassy,  you never told the misses about anything.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::In the meantime, prepares a standard distress message and starts broadcasting on all frequencies::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
*CO*: Captain, Blarney here. Got a minute?

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: pushes the Mayor's arm away :: Mayor: Behave!

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
*CEO*:  Did you happen to notice that fire in the habitation pod?  I think it may have something to do with the environmental problems.  Wasn't being picked up before, for some reason.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Self:  Why does her voice sound like nails on a chalkboard.  :takes a deep breath::  AXO:  I  have a minute.  What is it"

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::stands at his station dumbfounded::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::gets a shock look on is face:: AXO: What have they done to you.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
*CO*: Well, it seems we have a wee bit of a problem down here.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Self: again

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Knows she is going to dread asking.::  AXO:  How wee a problem?

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: whispers :: Mayor: Not now, I'm doing stuff.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Skipper permission to cut the pod loose and use t for target practice?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Turns and glares at Wall.::  CTO:  Tempting I know, but resist or chef will kaboob you.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
*CO*: We have a fire in the wall thing. I got some men to throw water on it, but it be still smoking. Got that fancy engineer lady around to take a look see?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::winks at her and whispers:  AXO: I see hehe, that my girl.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Aye skipper. You want me to head up there?

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: whispers to the Mayor again :: Mayor: Listen be good and I'll make sure you get an extra ration of grog tonight, ok?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Cuts the comm and stands up... barely restrain...::  All:  they......they........threw water on panels that emit electricity....  ::Opens Comms::  AXO:  How many people electrocuted?

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
*aOPS*: A what? A fire? ::closes her eyes and mutters something inaudible:: Is it contained?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::graps Clay who is still all black and walks away laughing and trying to start a song, something about good girls and grog::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:;groans and walks to the replicator:: Replicator: RakTajino, extra bloody strong

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Makes sure Hogan knows they threw water on the panels.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
*CO*: Naw, everyone be fine, well cept for a couple of burns on Clay's face. Your panel looks a bit....well....fried?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Arches an eyebrow, confused as to how anyone could do that...reasserts himself as he hears Hogan again::  *CEO*:  Yeah, a fire...I'm not sure that it's contained, no.  Seems to be holding steady, though..it's inside the bulkhead.  ::Nods to the captain::  ...And they tried to put it out by throwing water on it.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
AXO:  Ahh just kinda, well as long as it's kinds... ::Looses it.::  Blarney  GET YOU BUTT INTO MY READY ROOM AND BRING THAT GOOD FOR NOTHING MAYOR WITH YOU!!!!!

Action: Several of the men are now singing along with the Mayor.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Rubs his cheek with his right hand a moment, reconsidering his career choices::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:;turns with his coffee and almost spills it:: Self: dammn I know that tone of voice, sheesh I’m so glad it`s not me this time

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
*CO*: What ye be needing the Mayor for? He's not much for serious talking.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
*aOPS*: What? Water? Oh for the love of Gaia! ::turns and snaps her fingers at some of her engineering crew and doesn't watch as they head out the door to help with the fire:: I've got some people on the way to help

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
*AXO*:  I'm going to count to 10 and if you are not here in that time I'm going to keel haul the two of you.  Now unless you want to become hood ornaments I suggest you move post haste!

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
*CEO*:  Understood...I've got a bead on it with internal sensors, so if it starts to spread, you'll have advance notice.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Flops down into her chair.::  All:  I think I'm having a heart attack.

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
*CO* Hold on Captain. You told me to handle things down here and now you threaten me.....I'll be there when I can.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Starts to prepare forcefields, just in case, then whips around as the captain speaks::  CO:  Um...should I let sickbay know?

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: grabs the Mayor's arm :: Mayor: Now see what you've done!

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::sits behind Tac and sips his coffee::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Throws hands up.:: aOPS:  Sure..... Oh before you leave... beam that mangy mayor in front of me.  I don’t care if he is in his skivies...

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
AXO: What just trying to make it better in here, it's Clay's fault he said he could fix it

EO Gale says:
::heads with her team arms with fire extinguishers and a repair crew to the scene of the fire::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Hears the CTO sippings::  CTO:  Another sip and you will be wearing it.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::places the mug down and sits::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: sighs and shoves him away :: Mayor: Now I have to deal with that maniac on the bridge. You stay out of trouble till I get back, understood?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Half-gulps once and swivels back around, accessing transporter controls::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Pauses::  ...You did mean it on that one about the mayor, right?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::stands straight with his belly over his waist and salutes::  AXO: Yes mam misses XO mam.   :: and laughs::

AXO_Shannon_Blarney says:
:: heads back to the bridge, fuming at the Mayor ::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Plasters a smile on her face::  aOPS:  Oh yeah...  I want him here now...before he destroys my ship.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Inwardly shudders a bit and slides his fingers up the transporter controls, initiating the site-to-site transport::

Action: The mayor is transported right in front of the captain.
