USS Vesuvius Mission - Worlds Apart - Episode Five

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

Host Gerry says:
The USS Vesuvius has left the Dyson Sphere it encountered and is continuing on its mission to Polanus V for Famine Relief.

Host Gerry says:
Her secret mission is to determine if there is covert Romulan involvement in the genetic engineering of the virus that has attacked Yxarta grain and take whatever measures are needed to put an end to it.

Host Gerry says:
She is presently nearing the Polanus system.

Host CO Royce says:
:: In sickbay sitting crossed leg on her biobed patiently awaiting Dr. Delar... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: On the bridge in the big chair, going over standard paperwork usually reserved for the Captain... ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: In science lab 1 ::

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: Any more on that virus?

CMO Delar says:
:: In his office, continuing to study Trill genetics in a hope of finding what triggered Royce’s sudden illness ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: In Main engineering trying to work on a detection program for detecting trace Polaric energy discharges ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Miss Lane, ETA to Polanus system?

FCO Lane says:
:: Bringing up Polanus V on her scanners ::   CTO: Sir, approaching Polanus V, ETA in two hours.

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Not yet. We are still analyzing the basic components of it.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Very well.  Steady as she goes.

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Wait a minute.  Sir, getting some strange readings...

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: What is it?   :: Walks over next to the junior officer ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Stands and taps a few controls on his computer. He waits briefly for the data to transfer to his PADD and then he walks into the main sickbay and across to the medical lab ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Aye sir, steady as she goes.   :: Smiles over at the CTO ::

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Polaric energy is a non-natural energy source so hypothetically it would have to be an emission correct

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Returns Miss Lane's smile as he dives back into his paperwork ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles as she sees Delar...hoping... ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles back and then walks out of sight into the lab ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Sir, look at this...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Frowns...knowing she must behave herself in order to get released... ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Looks to the screen ::   Hilton: Vulcan DNA coding....

CEO McGregor says:
<Computer>:  That is correct

CTO Wakefield says:
*Security*:  Wakefield to Jenkins...

CTO Wakefield says:
<CPO Jenkins> *CTO*:  This is Jenkins here El-Tee.  How are things upstairs?

CSO Trelan says:
Self: But why would it have Vulcan coding?

CMO Delar says:
:: Sits down at a console on the far wall of the lab. He begins to program some info into the computer ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Watches the sensors for any other ship activity ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks around wishing there were SOMETHING she could do...not used to doing nothing... ::

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: I have entered some figures into the tactical mainframe.  Extrapolate and see if it matches the emissions from the planetoid the Romulan hardware was found.

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Vulcans and Romulans are distant cousins...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles as she thinks...hoping down off the bio bed... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*Jenkins*:  Fine, just fine.  I thought I had a lot of paperwork to do as the Chief of Security, but this is crazy...  Speaking of which...?

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: I know that...but...

CSO Trelan says:
Computer: Show all differences in Vulcan and Romulan physiology.

CTO Wakefield says:
<Jenkins>*CTO*:  I've almost caught you up sir, another day or so and we'll be ok.

CMO Delar says:
:: Reads some data on the Trill's 13th chromosome ::

CEO McGregor says:
<Computer>: The calculations are within .001 decirads of the emissions found on the planetoid

CSO Trelan says:
<Computer>:: Lists very few differences ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*Jenkins*:  Okay.  Thanks for all your help Chief.  You're a lifesaver.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Goes to the medical lab ::   CMO:  Doctor...?    :: Hesitently... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
<Jenkins>*CTO*:  Didn't you know...?  That's what grunts are for!!

CMO Delar says:
:: Looks behind him ::   CO: Yes Captain?

FCO Lane says:
:: Peeks over her shoulder to see what everyone is doing ::

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: Look here...the RH factor and Antigens are different. It is Romulan...see it?

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Can I go for a walk?  I'm getting cabin fever cooped up in here.

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Yea....

CTO Wakefield says:
:: A small grin appears at the corner of his mouth as he chuckles a little ::    *Jenkins*: Of course!!  Wakefield out.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   CMO:  I promise to behave myself...

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: By entering the calculations on a wide band range could we come up with a practical sensor detection for a ship using a Polaric Neutronic energy source?

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: But why would those be different?

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: No...but you can if I accompany you...

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: They are distant cousins. You have to take into account the length of how long they have been separated.

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Well...then...will you come with me?

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Also consider that the source would probably be cloaked

FCO Lane says:
:: Overhears the CTO chuckling ::

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: Evolution has to take a course somewhere.

CMO Delar says:
:: Stands and walks to the door of the lab ::   CO: Gladly...   :: He smiles ::

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: Run a simulation. We have to figure out a way to contain the antigens and RH factor.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Thrilled, but trying not to show it... ::   CMO:  Mind if we go to my quarters first?  I'd like something a little more comfortable.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Finishes reading a report for the Captain ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Aye.   :: Gets to work ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: That would be...    :: Pauses slowly and smiles ::    ...acceptable.    :: Holds out his arm for Royce to take ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles back at Delar, taking his arm... ::   CMO:  Thank you, Lon.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Sir, picking up a gravimetric disturbance aft of us, at 8 light minutes.... wait.... it’s gone.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Grateful to FCO for interrupting his paperwork... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Any specifics?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits sickbay with the Doctor ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Walks out of sickbay, hoping that Royce does not notice that he has a tricorder with him just in case ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Recalibrates her sensors ::   CTO: It just disappeared before I could get a fix on it.

CEO McGregor says:
<Computer>: The emissions would be the same whether the source is cloaked or not.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Gets up out of the command chair, walks up to helm station and rests his right leg on the support beam ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Heads to the turbolift ::

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Very well

Host CO Royce says:
:: Has noticed Delar has his tricorder... ::   CMO:  You don't need to hide that thing from me..

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  I understand why you have it.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Keep your eyes open.   :: Suspicious as always... ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* McGregor to Wakefield

CNS Shirley says:
:: Is in office reading over papers ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: See here?   :; Points to her display ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift ::    Computer:  Deck 8

CTO Wakefield says:
*CEO*:  This is Wakefield, go ahead Chief.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Aye.  I see it.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: I always do sir.

CMO Delar says:
CO: ...How are you feeling Captain?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps over to another table and begins trying different simulations to attack the antigens ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Good...the best I've felt in a long while.   :: Smiles ::

CMO Delar says:
::Smiles::   CO: I do make miracles happen, don't I?   :: Said jokingly ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* I have sent a sensor schematic to your console.  It is set up to detect minuet Polaric-Neutronic energy discharges

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits turbolift and heads towards her quarters ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*CEO*:  Standby Chief...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Laughs lightly... ::   CMO:  Yes...you're a good doctor, Lon.  I am in your debt.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: I'll try and widen the sensor field and....Sir...look another one!  Darn, gone like the first.

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO*: This should be able to detect any ship using that type of energy

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Goes back to command chair and brings up the schematics ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: As I explained before sir, I was just doing my duty.   :: Follows Xen to her quarters ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Location second sensor reading?

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Lon, I prefer to be called ma'am.   :: Smiles ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: It could be a ship...a cloaked ship.  Identical readings, aft.

CTO Wakefield says:
*CEO*:  Chief, this is quite interesting, how long would it take you to implement it?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stops in front of her quarters, punches in her code... ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: ...ma'am.   ::Smiles::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* I am configuring it into The Tactical Mainframe now

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Yellow alert.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters quarters...notices yellow alert... ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Reading papers  and hears the alert and thinks ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*CSO*:  Dru, I need you on the bridge.

CTO Wakefield says:
*CEO*: Get that online ASAP Chief we may need it.

CSO Trelan says:
*CTO* I'm on my way.

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: Keep working on it.  I want answers.

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* Aye sir, it should be online within minutes

Host CO Royce says:
:: Motions to Delar... ::   Welcome to my home.  Please make yourself comfortable while I change...

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Aye, sir.

CMO Delar says:
:: Steps into the Captains quarters ::   CO: Don't even think our little walk is taking us anywhere near the bridge...   ::Goes and sits with a smile ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Begins to feel anxious knowing something is going on, and not being able to be a part of it ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits the lab and enters the nearest turbolift ::   Computer: Bridge.

CNS Shirley says:
*CMO* Do you need any help by any chance?

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Implement the sensors Detect 1 at Tactical, Authorization McGregor Beta Gamma

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:   You know me too well, huh?

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Maintain course and speed.  If it is a cloaked ship, I don't want to tip our hand.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to her sleeping area to change into her robes... ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Right sir, how cleaver of you.   :: Smiles ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits onto the bridge, heads to Science One ::

CMO Delar says:
*CNS* Not as of yet Miss Shirley. I am currently taking Captain Royce on a walk around the ship...

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Maintaining course and speed.

CNS Shirley says:
*CMO* Alright sir.  Have fun trying to keep her from the bridge.

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: I had you in my head for a day ma'am.  I would like to believe I got a small insight into your personality, yes.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Has a strange feeling after FCO speaks and smiles, one he hasn't had for quite some time... ::

CSO Trelan says:
Computer: Active science console. Authorization Trelan 510 Omega.

CMO Delar says:
*CNS* I'm sure if the need arises you will be there to hold her back...   :: Said jokingly again ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Chooses her light blue gown with matching robe and slippers ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at the CMO's answer ::   CMO:  You have me there, Lon.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO: Dru, we have an unknown gravimetric disturbance about 8 light years aft.  I want to know who it is without them knowing we know.  Get the idea?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Looks at Maj at Science Two ::

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Got it.

FCO Lane says:
:: Watches for any other disturbances aft of the Vesuvius ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Quickly changes, brushes out her hair and returns to her living area ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Punches away at the console ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: ...and for the record, you are still not official released to duty...yet...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to feed her fish, and quickly checks her bonsai's ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Walks around to tactical station ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Pouts slightly... ::   CMO: I know...   :: quietly ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around my office and  giggles on what  CMO said... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Sees that phaser and torpedoes have been put on standby, and one torpedo has been loaded into each bay, as per standard yellow alert procedure... ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO*: You have it sir the sensors are on line

CTO Wakefield says:
*CEO*:  Aye.  Thank you Chief.

CMO Delar says:
:: Stands ::   CO: Is there anything I can do to help?

CEO McGregor says:
*CTO* Aye sir

Host CO Royce says:
:: Notices a small note on her desk, moves toward it... ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Notices that the disturbance is staying in the wake of the Vesuvius ::   Self: Hmm, quite clever of them.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO: Try those new scanners McGregor just brought online.

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  No...I'll be ready in a moment.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Looks over to the second engineering officer ::   EO: You have Engineering, I'll be on the Bridge

CSO Trelan says:
:: Brings up the modified sensors ::   CTO: No readings.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Picks up the note, reading it.  A big smile lights up her face. ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Heads for the Turbo lift ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Where exactly is that sensor reading?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Places the note back down on her desk... ::   CMO:  I'm ready, just one more place I'd like to go.

CMO Delar says:
CO: Where would that be?   :: Resists asking what the note was about ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks out to the turbo lift.  Enters turbolift and says bridge. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  I'd like to go to the Chapel.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Sensor reading show 8 light minutes aft of us, in our wake.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Thinks ::

CTO Wakefield says:
Self:  Right in our baffles...

CNS Shirley says:
:: Exits turbo lift and walks out on the bridge ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Glad he runs all those old earth submarine holoprograms... ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Tries not to laugh ::   CO: The Chapel, why would you wish to go there sir?

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: We could vent some of our plasma and see if it lights them up so to speak.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO/FCO:  They're not closing?

FCO Lane says:
CTO: That would be bearing 312 mark 6 sir...exactly.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Makes a face ::   CMO:   I've got to break you of that 'sir' habit, Lon.  It's ma'am with me.  As far as the Chapel...I just want to go there.

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Not yet.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Enters turbolift ::   Computer: Bridge

CNS Shirley says:
:: Watches everything that is going on ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: They are holding the same position.

CMO Delar says:
CO: Aye sir, ma'am, Xen, Royce...err, sir.

CMO Delar says:
:: Covers his mouth::   Self: Shall we just go?

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Stays at tactical and brings up sensor display so he can see for himself...  ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Laughs lightly ::   CMO:  Unless, doctor you’ve discovered something I've not been made aware of since I was born...?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Still laughing ::  CMO:  Yes, please....

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around on the bridge but stays out of the way ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Exits the TL on the Bridge ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: Pardon, did I say something?

CEO McGregor says:
:: Sees the Counselor and nods ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Shakes head, still laughing ::    CMO:  No, just your continued use of sir with me.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Anything in the area that might gives us a reason to investigate it?  Any other spatial anomalies?

FCO Lane says:
:: Notices the arrival on the bridge of the counselor and Mr. McGregor and nods ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Smiles and nods at him as well ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Runs a full sensor sweep ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Stops at Engineering 1 ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Checking on that sir.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Signs on and pulls up ships data ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Walks over to Tactical ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Checks her star charts ::

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: May I check the sensors sir

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: Shall we?   ::Motions for Xen to leave her quarters::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits her quarters ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CEO:  Be my guest, but I don't want you sending out any unusual signals.  Understood?

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: Aye sir

CNS Shirley says:
:: Just watches everything going on ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: I believe the chapel is on deck 10, correct, or am I mistaken?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  I believe you are right      Computer:  Deck 10

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Nothing in the area, no anomalies, planetoids...nothing sir.

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Reconfigure the Detect1 sensor program to be hidden within our regular sensors

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits turbolift and heads towards the chapel ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Very well.  Helm, come left five degrees.

CMO Delar says:
:: Follows after Royce ::   CO: Captain, may I ask a favor?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns to look at Delar ::   CMO:  Yes, Lon?

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> *CSO* Sir, I think I may have found something.  We should try using a gamma globulin in a gaseous form.  It attacks the RH deficiency.

CEO McGregor says:
<Computer>: That would have to be realigned to .134 terarads

CMO Delar says:
CO: If you sense anything wrong, and I mean anything, report to me immediately. Even if it is 0200 hours, I want you to let me know, as your CMO as your friend...you didn't do this the last time I asked, so I would like you to promise...

FCO Lane says:
CTO: What if I make a slight course alternation and see if our shadow follows?  Aye sir...coming left 5 degrees....  :: Smiles approvingly ::

CSO Trelan says:
*Hilton* See to it. Let me know. I'm a little busy right now.

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Lets do it and run a simulation or two

CNS Shirley says:
:: Watches everything that is going on, and starts to worry about everything ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  You read my mind Miss Lane.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  Dru, is it turning to follow us?

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Sensor ghost has moved to 189 Aft at eight light minutes, but then disappeared again.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Our friend again...at 189 aft...same distance. Drat gone again sir.

CMO Delar says:
:: Stands and waits before he enters the chapel ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks down as Lon is speaking... ::   CMO:  I will, Lon.  I promise.  I cannot compromise the symbiont.  I wasn't aware I was ill...seriously ill.  I didn't realize I was compromising Royce.

CEO McGregor says:
<Computer> Simulations complete, there is a 97 % probability that detection would occur

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  You have my word.

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton>:: Continues to work on the problem ::

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Would an alien vessel detect the difference in our sensor matrix?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks seriously at Delar ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Looks seriously back then cracks a slight smile ::   CO: Now that's over with, shall we?

CEO McGregor says:
<Computer>: Unknown however improbable

CNS Shirley says:
:: Starts walking around some more and thinks about what is going on ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO/FCO:  Range and bearing of sensor echo now?

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton>:: Watches as the introduced gas does its work on a molecular level ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles back ::   CMO:  Yes....

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Still holding position.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters the Chapel ::

CNS Shirley says:
CTO: Is there anything I can do for you?

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: 187 at 8 light minutes.

CTO Wakefield says:
CNS:  Not right this second counselor.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: I show him at 187 at 8 minutes, and holding steady sir.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes a seat a few rows from the front... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CNS:  Thank you though.

CNS Shirley says:
CTO: Alright Sir

CNS Shirley says:
CTO: Your welcome

CTO Wakefield says:
Self:  It moves as we move...

CMO Delar says:
:: Follows beside Xen and sits down.  He whispers over to her ::   CO: Why are we here?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Reverently ::    CMO:  Lon...have you ever had a near-death experience?

CTO Wakefield says:
CNS:  Actually counselor, do you sense anything out there, aft of us?

CMO Delar says:
CO: No sir, I can't say that I have. There was this one time as a child...but I was so young the memories have long since been blocked.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Shall I make another course correction sir?

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Yes, return to previous course.

CNS Shirley says:
CTO:  I just sense extreme tension...but it could also just be on this ship but hard to say

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  We are here because I...   :: takes in a deep breath ::    ...I died.  I feel I need to pay homage to the one...

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: Sir I have worked the bugs out of the sensors, Permission to scan the areas of the last disturbances for Polaric discharges

FCO Lane says:
:: Smiles sweetly ::   CTO: Changing to previous course, aye.

CTO Wakefield says:
CEO:  Negative, broad scan, I still don't want to tip our hand too much.

CMO Delar says:
:: Places his hand on Xen's shoulder ::    CO: It is understandable, most people who recover from near-death experiences begin to revert to religious beliefs...

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: They are set up to run in broad scan

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Sensor ghost is at 182 mark 6 at 8 light minutes...holding just outside extreme edge of our sensor range.

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: And be hidden within our normal sensors

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  You misunderstand...I'm not reverting to a religious belief.  I just feel I need to be here...to thank the one greater than all for giving me back my life...Royce's life...

FCO Lane says:
:: Sees the return of her ghost but lets the CSO handle it ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: I can confirm that sir.

CMO Delar says:
:: Looks over at Royce and wonder's what's going on in her mind right now, the emotions she and Royce must be feeling ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Current speed?

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  I just need to sit here a moment...

CMO Delar says:
CO: Then as a friend I shall sit here a moment with you...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at Delar's comment ::    CMO:   Thank you, Lon.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Warp 6 and steady.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Just walks around with the feeling of the extreme tension ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CEO:  Can you fake a warp engine accident?

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  I can't explain it...and I don't know if you sensed it...but there will be some changes...I must make some changes.

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: I can sense it and they are only understandable. I am sure the entire crew will be here to help...

CMO Delar says:
CO: ...especially those who know and care about you...   Self: Like Dru...

FCO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Wakefield as he poses a question to the CEO ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   CMO:  I'm ready to go back now.

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: Aye sir

FCO Lane says:
:: Thinks she knows what the CTO has in mind ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Stands slowly and looks down at Xen. He holds his hand out for her. ::   CO: Then I shall escort you ma'am...

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: Would you like me to do it now?

CNS Shirley says:
:: Scratches my arm out of nervousness ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles and takes Delar's hand, standing ::

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Okay, everyone, listen up.  I believe we are being followed by a cloaked ship, with potentially hostile intentions.

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: I’ll make it look like we have an interior leak and vent plasma

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton>:: Watches as most of the positive RH factor cells... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  We're going to fake a warp accident and come to impulse power.

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> :: ...are killed off, leaving the main molecular structure of the grain ::

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  I want sensors going full when we do.   CSO:  Dru, any change in that sensor reading and I want to know.  If it turns, if it closes, if it blinks at us.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves out of the Chapel and back towards the turbolift ::

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Aye.

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  I'm maintaining yellow alert, but I'm fully loading the aft torpedo bays.

FCO Lane says:
:: Her finger hovers over the warp and impulse buttons ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Leads Xen out of the chapel ::   CO: Sir, once we return to sickbay I'll run a few tests and I will release you to your quarters.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Transfers back up power to sensors and weapons ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Touches various buttons on his console ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   CMO:  Thank you, Lon.

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  If that blip comes within torpedo range, I'll fire a spread around it.  That should not destroy them, but should shake them up a good bit.  At that point we'll go to red alert.  Understood?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift ::    Computer:  Deck 12

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Aye!

CEO McGregor says:
*Engineering* Make ready to open plasma vents 1-8 on both starboard and port nacelles

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Make ready.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Puts sensors on full ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Takes a deep breath and waits ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Fully loads aft torpedo bays, and set shields to go up as soon as torpedoes have been fired... ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Looks at Xen ::   CO: Captain...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits turbolift and walks towards sickbay ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Finds something to hold on to and just waits and watches ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Yes?   :: Enters sickbay ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Hops onto the biobed she's been occupying ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: Thank you...for letting me try to help...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Tilts head to left side... ::   CMO:   I don't understand...

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton>:: Punches at terminal, getting accurate readings of the antigens ::

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Everyone ready?

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Aye sir, ready.

CNS Shirley says:
CTO:    yes Sir ready

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Ready.

CMO Delar says:
CO: Bringing me to the chapel, telling me how you feel...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   CMO:  You're welcomed    :: Quietly ::

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Here we go then.  On my mark...

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Five...four...

CTO Wakefield says:
ALL:  Three...two...one...MARK!

CEO McGregor says:
*Engineering*: Now, vent plasma

Host CO Royce says:
:: Grins ::    CMO:  Now, please run those tests so I can go to my quarters.
