Action: Mayor Tomar is beamed to the bridge. right in front of the captain.

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
CO: Want me to use pheromones to lure the animals into the cargo bay, Captain?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Turns around to visually observe the result of the transport, then swivels back to his console::  CO:  The mayor, Sir.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Resumes checking up on the status of the fire::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::looks around :: Self: Well  I'll be.   CO:  Oh captain   ::grinning::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Staring down the Mayor.  hands clenched at her side.  Here's the TO and turns to look at him::  TO:  You want to make a bunch of animal's horney??????  Come on we got enough problems.  Do we have dogs on board?  How about herding dogs?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Thank you Ensign.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: makes her way along the corridor giving several of her people instructions ::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Shifts a little lower in his seat and punches up the internal comm board::  *CEO*:  Operations to Hogan.  What's your status?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Plasters a smile on her face.::  Mayor:  What have I done to you that you want  to repay me by burning down my ship.  ::Opens her arms at her side::  When I said my ship is your ship and didn't think you would take me literally.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::touches her commbadge:: *EO*: What's your status? Have you done cleaning up yet?

aXO_Blarney says:
:: takes the turbo lift to the bridge ::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::stepps a little closer::  CO: well you see here captain, or can I call you Chloe, Clay was having trouble with the smell, he got this problem with his nose.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
<EO>*CEO*: Nearly there, Sir. We have our repair crews working on the panel now. 
.
Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  I see...Well we have this neat invention called a doctor.  If he has the sniffles he can go to sickbay.  Let me be clear here.  I will...with pleasure space the next person who sets my ship on fire.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Forces away a smile as the captain lectures Mayor Tomar, then continues about his business, making sure the fire isn't spreading::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: steps onto the bridge and walks to the Captain's chair :: CO: Well Captain, I've solved that wee problem.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
*EO*: Understood. Keep me posted if you run into any problems.

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS: I was just thinking of a fake animal signature.,

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Wee problem...huh.... Do you young lady have any idea what would happen if that fire get's out of control

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: Yes yes of course  ::leans a little closer and whispers::Chloe, I'll let Clay know also.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Let me tell you.  Ship blows up...we take a walk in space and we freeze.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::sits at Tac and looks around the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  Oh,  My first name is Captain to you.

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: Gosh Captain, I'm just a country lass with little experience with these things.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Well now you know.  Did Ens Hogan give you the reading material on running a starship?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns in his chair to watch the mayor::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
TO:  A...fake animal signature?  ::Turns to T'palla and raises an eyebrow quizzically::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::looses the smile.::  CTO:  Get him off my Bridge now!

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns to T`palla:: TO: Ensign see that our security patrols keep those four legged pains in the butt out of the secure areas

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS/CO: To get animals contained in certain area.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles and stands to his full height moving towards the mayor::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::looks around::  CO: Who me,  wait  wait.     Captain if i my  please.  ::holding up a hand to the CTO::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Mayor: If you`ll follow me sir ::grubs the scruff of the mayors collar::
Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::rubs her temples:;  TO:  Just get them into the cargo bays.  I don't care how.

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: Material? I don't have time for that blarney Captain. I just got my people on those animals. They should be rounding them up by now.

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS: You have any biology background?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::pulls loose from the CTO::  CO: I need to speak in private with you captain  ::sounding more serious::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
TO:  Erm...not really.  I guess it could work.  I was thinking...simpler...like site-to-site transport, if necessary...but that's not my primary concern right now, I'm afraid.  ::Turns back to his console::

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
Computer: Are transporters still working.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::growls at the mayor:: Mayor: the Captain asked politely, I wont be so nice.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Well if you read that blarney, you would know that throwing water on an electrical fire is a no no.  Well then... Ensign Bedford is going to quiz you tomorrow on basic operations.  Learn it, live it breath it.   You will know it inside and out.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::sits back in her chair and ignores the Mayor.::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
<Computer>  TO: The transported are working within normal parameters.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Taps the comm button again::  *CEO*:  Ensign Hogan, come in, please?

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
Computer: Do site to site transport of the animals to cargo bay and setup some force fields.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::grabs the mayors collar and begins dragging him off the bridge::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: grumbles and looks over the bridge :: CO: Now who would Ensign Bedford be?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
TO: You have Tactical, while I put the garbage out

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Raises his hand wordlessly, and without turning around, at Blarney's question::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  The gentleman sitting at the Ops station.  You would know what that was if you read the material.

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
::transfers tactical one commands to tacitical two::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: starts dragging the mayor off the bridge::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Lowers his hand again and continues working at his console, making sure the forcefields holding the fire in place are fully functional::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::being dragged:: CO: How is Leslie doing theses days, i hear she is doing good on earth  ::trying to get her attention::

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS: Transport animals to cargo bay.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: makes her way over to the operations console :: aOPS: Bedford? :: smiles ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::dumps the mayor in the TL.:: TL: Habitat pod. Priority 1 no stops

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Brings up transporter controls and begins using internal sensors to locate each of the animals and establish transporter locks, beaming them into the designated cargo bay areas in bunches::  aXO:  Yes?  ::Glances to Blarney a moment::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  Excuse me.... Who is Leslie?
Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  Commander stop.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::Stops:: TL: Belay that

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Mayor: must be your lucky day bucko

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
<Murray> CEO: Sir, here's the report on the environmental systems you wanted.

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::brushes himself off::  CO: can we talk more private captain.   ::swings his arm away form the CTO ::  CTO:  brut.

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS: Damn i forgot to separate the predators from oh..

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
Murray: Thanks. Are you monitoring their progress like I asked?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  No, you can speak in front of my crew.  CTO:  Keep him in custody.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
<Murray>::nods:: CEO: Aye Sir.

aXO_Blarney says:
aOPS: Are you good at this operations stuff the Captain mentioned?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
TO:  Oh, um...I have them cordoned off by species with forcefields.  They can sort them out later.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  Answer my question, because I will throw you in the brig for the rest of this voyage.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Mayor: Awe shucks, i thought i was more of a barbarian ::smiles and grabs a handful of collar::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Swivels to regard Blarney::  aXO:  Well...I'm the operations manager.

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS: Engineers going to have to cleen up a huge mess.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Erm...acting, operations manager.

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::motions for the captain to come to a monitor:: CO: No captain in private, and thats not going to change. Please.  ::he starts to tap on the console::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: smiles :: aOPS: Ah yes, of course. Then you understand everything about this ship then?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Nods, feeling a tad whelmed::  TO:  Hopefully, they'll have it under control....  ::Finishes up transporting the last herd (or horde) of animals into the cargo bay::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  My office is over there.  ::Points in the direction::  Go there.  ::Motions for the CTO to come over::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
<EO>*CEO*: Sir, we have completed all repairs to the panel. You should be able to bring the enviro-systems back online.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Just...everything about operations...or, most of it....  ::Nods again::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::nods and follows::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::smiles, for what seems like the first time today:: *EO*: Thank you, Ensign. That's great news. I'll be expecting your report. Hogan out.

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::walks into the CO office smiling all the while::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::walks over to the captain::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::taps her commbadge:: *CO*: Sir, My teams have fixed the panel. I'm bringing the systems back online as we speak ::is engaging all envirosystems::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Glances to his panel as he sees environmental systems flash back to green, one by one in turn::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Leans in and whispers::  CTO:  Monitor my ready room.  I want the comms on at all times.  He mentioned my daughter to get his way and that makes me unhappy.

aXO_Blarney says:
aOPS: So you know how things work, like the food machines and such?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Understood skipper

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::goes and heads for her ready room and enters waiting on the Mayor::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: You want me to get someone to discretely check the kids for you?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
:once the door closes::  CO: Good it is fine that Cmdr Wall, he has clearance. and sorry about my calling your kid name out i had to get your attention.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::doesn`t hear wall::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Oh, yes.  I'm trained in the use of all of the computer interfaces aboard the ship.  ::Smiles a small, sheepish smile, as usually that piece of information is anything but impressive, as anyone else aboard can do it::

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS: Computer Systems, I was wondering if we can put Linux on these machines.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns and heads for the a spare console::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  You got it.  Make it good.  ::Goes and stands by her desk and leans against it crossing her arms::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::opens the the COM system to the Ready Room::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
TO:  Lennox...?  On which machines?  I didn't see anyone in the manifest by that name....

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::frowns at the static coming over the channel::

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
OPS: It's a open source operating system.

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: I am SFI on a secret OP and no one is to know  ::grapps her computer panel:: If I may?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Nods at him::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::opens a second channel and composes a message to a colleague in SF security asking him to check up on the captains kids::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
TO:  Oh...I'm afraid that would be very against regulations...very, extremely.  ::Nods worriedly::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: after sending the message begins to try and tries to cut through the static::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: leans on the ops panel :: aOPS: So you can teach me all I need to know to keep the Captain happy?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::he inputs his code and turns the console around for her to look at::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  I...can't really guarantee that, but I can at least guarantee that you'll know a little bit more about the way we do things around here.

aXO_Blarney says:
aOPS: Like that button over there. What does it do?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: begins to swears ::

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
XO: Are we stuck with lowest bidder for our os for the ship?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Ah...which?  ::Looks over the console::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns to aOPS:: OPS: Run a diagnostics of the COM system

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Reads what is on the screen and curses::  Mayor:  Why can`t you people be up front for once

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CTO:  Yessir.  ::Pulls up the diagnostic panel and begins a level four diagnostic::  Results should be available in about five minutes.

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: Because we are not suppose to be here, the whole colony is a front. even the POD. what i am about to tell you doesn't leave this room.

aXO_Blarney says:
aOPS: That little green one. :: points ::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  Are you telling me there are 6000 operatives on my ship

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
aOPS: Thank you

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::checks the incoming COM  and smiles:: Self: well at least thats one for our side

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: Not all of them, but most i would say half. we are a self sufficient colony that will operate independently from the outside, so most of them are really farmers and such.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  And the purpose.  Blarney

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Oh, that.  That's just a communications control.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Sees the readouts come back from the diagnostic::  CTO:  Diagnostic complete, Sir.  No anomalies found in the communications system.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
aOPS: Thank you Ensign

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
TO: Run a sweep for jamming devices

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: The POD is really a new form of listing post. The Tholian government is threatening the Klingons and the federation. At this moment it's only words, SF felt it necessary to install this post to watch them.  And as for Blarney, well that was a lot for you in making her your XO, good play with that. ::laughing a little::

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
::starts scanning for jamming devices::

TO_Ens_T_palla says:
CTO: Yes sir.

aXO_Blarney says:
aOPS: So if I press it, what happens?

aFCO_LtJg_Keller says:
::Looks over at the replicator and finds a hot cup of Earl Grey:: Self: Finally!

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  I’m glad you enjoyed it.  Is she an operative?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: Yes, my second. She is will be the one in charge of the post while i handle all else on the top side.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  Then, she will conduct herself accordingly.  I will not have you destroying my ship.  Am I clear?

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: Not a problem captain. we all may have gone a little overboard in our acting out. we will behave form now on. just keep this between you and me.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  Unless you endanger my crew we will play your charade.  If things change all bets are off.  Are we understood

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: Understood captain. And I ask that your personal refrain from going to the POD.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Well, it would open a internal communication channel, and then the computer would route your transmission appropriately.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: reaches for the button :: aOPS: So who would I talk to?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Cheif are you still alive?

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::sighs as she finishes reading through her reports:: *CTO*: I feel buried alive, does that count?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Oh, anyone aboard the sh--please don't touch.  ::Covers the button with his hand::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Mayor:  I can, but keep your personnel down there.  If I have to I will enter.  I  don`t care what SFI is up to,

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: then if we are OK I will leave you to your ship. Please feel free to keep Shannon if you like.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: nope that doesn’t count, just making sure your still breathing. If i cant get any peace neither can you

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Smiles::  Mayor:  I think I can keep Shannon busy.   Send her in please when you exit now.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: pulls her hand back :: aOPS: Ok. You're a nervous nelly aren't you? :: smiles again ::
Host Mayor_Tomar says:
CO: and i do thank you for your assistance in our goal.  ::turns and walks out of the RR and goes to Shannon::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Erm...  ::Twitches a bit, unused to this level -- any level, really -- of attention::  No, no.  Not a... ::Winces::  ...nervous nelly.  ::Resumes working on some inconsequential task so that his fingers have something to do::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
*CTO*: Of course I'm still breathing... breathing reports and paperwork. Does it get any easier?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles:: *CEO*: You still owe me dinner if i remember rightly

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
AXO: Dearie the captain wishes to speak with you.    oh and make sure you keep it private if you understand  ::winking at her::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::catches the mayors eye for a second::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: taps Bedford's shoulder and whispers in his ear :: aOPS: You're doing just fine dearie.

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::winks athe CTO and giggles::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Mayor: Funny bugger aint ya

aXO_Blarney says:
Tomar: You don't need to be worrying about me Mayor. I've got the Captain's number. :: walks towards the ready room ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Self: note to self, put bull ants in the mayors bed

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Waits for Shannon::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Shudders a bit, and gulps::  aXO:  Ma'am...the first thing you ought to know about Starfleet operations is that...while on duty... ::Gulps again::  ...it's wise to maintain as professional a bearing as possible.  ::Shrinks away a bit::

Host Mayor_Tomar says:
::walks into the TL::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
*CTO*: Exsqueeze me? Oh no, my dear Chief, I believe it's you who owe me. I'm still waiting on my steak dinner...

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: looks down at the COM and notices it is working again::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: knocks on the door ::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Enter

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::as the aXO enters it blinks out again::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: steps inside as the door slides open :: CO: You wanted to see me Captain?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Can you go secure please

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::stands and walks to an out of the way corner::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  I`ve spoken to the Mayor and I know what is going.  Since you are a member of starfleet and a temporary member of my crew.  You will act accordingly.  You will get into proper uniform.   I will hold you to Starfleet Rules and Regulations.  what rank are you.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::changes over to a secure channel:: *CTO*: Sure, what is it?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Something fishy is going on with the COM system in the RR. Can you check for any dampening fields around it for me.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: straightens up :: CO: Finally! I was getting tired of all that, excuse the expression, "blarney" act.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Releases a deep-held breath and sinks down into his chair, absolutely dreading showing Blarney the ropes::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::starts to run diagnostics:: *CTO*: I'm on it.. I'll get one of my other engineers to check on it too.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  I`m glad you are happy.  I`m not.  I do not like being played.

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: For your purposes, I shall be Commander.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CEO*: Thanks, and when we have two seconds i owe you that steak. Wall out

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::doesn`t believe her but let`s it go thinking she would probably not get the truth anyway.:;  aXO:  Fine, get into uniform and you will have beta shift.  No antics understand me?  If the crew question you can ignore them or send them to me.  Is that understood Commanderé

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: Captain, you do understand the need for the rouse do you not? I have no desire to "play" you, only to complete my task. Understood Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  I may understand but I don`t like it.  You got 10 mins.  Dismissed.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: turns and leaves the ready room, heading for the lift ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::heads back tot he Big chair and notices the COM is back::
