EO Tomari says:
:: Enters turbolift. ::   Computer: Bridge.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: How long until we reach the coordinates, Lt. Chaser?

SO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Sam and smiles to herself. ::   Self: He looks good in that chair.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Arrives at the bridge, enters the bridge, turns down to the captains ready room, hits the door chime. ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Exits turbolift and walks to the captain's seat. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Eyes new officer. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Sifts through several performance reports from the evening shift, wondering if there is anything significant in them. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Hears the door chime. ::   Door:  Come in

Host CO Royce says:
:: Still looking at her console. ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Sees the commander. ::   XO: Sir, Lt JG Tomari reporting for duty. Here are my orders.   :: Hands the XO his PADD. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Takes PADD and looks over it. ::

CIV McDonald says:

CNS Shirley says:
:: Heads out of office and enters turbolift. ::   Computer: Bridge

SO Lane says:
:: Hears a new voice on the bridge and looks in that direction. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Without looking up. ::   CIV: Welcome, please report to Commander Kelson on the bridge.  Dismissed.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Does not miss a beat with her report. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Spins and turns to head out of the Captain’s Ready Room. ::

XO Kelson says:
EO: Seems to be in order, Mr. Tomari.  Welcome aboard.  Take your station.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Enters on to the bridge. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he places the PADD’s off to the side and focuses on the console in front of his seat again. ::

CNS Shirley says:
XO: You need me anywhere Sir?

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sir-r, ten minutes at pr-resent speed.

EO Tomari says:
XO: Aye, sir.   :: A little hesitant. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to OPS. ::   OPS: Thank you, Lt.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Enters the bridge, and heads over to the command level.   :: Nods to the XO. ::

XO Kelson says:
CNS: Ah...Lt. Shirley.  Good to have you back on the bridge.   :: Smiles. ::   Just take your seat and enjoy the ride for now.

FCO Horn says:
:: Enters bridge and assumes her post after relieving the person at helm control. ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Walks to the turbolift. ::

CNS Shirley says:
XO: Thank you.

CNS Shirley says:
XO: Sir.   :: Sits down. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Leans forward and pays attention to the computer's results, hoping to find something wrong. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Monitors her sensors and picks up something. ::   XO: Commander, I'm picking up a faint contact at the extreme range of the sensors.

XO Kelson says:
EO: Need some help, Mr. Tomari?  I meant your station here on the bridge…engineering?

SO Lane says:
XO: Sir, it's...it's...really big. Reading 1451 meters.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Monitors e-band for e-band emissions and all activity on frequency. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Stands at attention starting to get tired. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Wonders how best to word her report. ::

XO Kelson says:
SO: Moving toward us or stationary?

EO Tomari says:
XO: No sir, just not used to the transfer protocols on this ship.

EO Tomari says:
:: Takes the engineering station. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Finally notices the CIV. ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Taps the engineering console to life. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: It's heading this way just a few degrees to port of us.

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Lt McDonald reporting as ordered.   :: Smiles. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Puts final touches on a mock Romulan coded transponder frequency program. ::

XO Kelson says:
CIV: Are you ready for duty, Mr. McDonald?

EO Tomari says:
:: Brings up the current status of the ship. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Hears a chime off to the side console and notices that a command string has been entered into the aft engineering station on the Bridge; as quickly as he notices this, his attentions drifts back to the diagnostics. ::

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Yes, sir. Just point me to where you want me to sit or whatever.

XO Kelson says:
SO: Any signs of a threat to us?

SO Lane says:
XO: Trying to get an identification on it now.

XO Kelson says:
CIV: Why don't you try out Tactical for now…or is that too much to handle?   :: Raises eyebrow. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Sighs as the current diagnostic comes to a conclusion with decent results; for the first time in a while, he can't seem to find at least something. ::

CIV McDonald says:
XO: I'll give it a shot. It's not my specialty but hey.

SO Lane says:
XO: Not sure sir. Sensors show it's a Cardassian station, being towed by 10, no 12 Orion ships.

XO Kelson says:
CIV: That's the attitude I want to hear.  Welcome aboard.

EO Tomari says:
:: Tries to get the feel of the ship again. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Accesses environmental control and adds standard anti-chroniton particles to the ship's atmosphere. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: They are traveling at warp speed.

CEO Davis says:
:: Brings up status of the tactical systems and immediately initiates a level four diagnostic, just in case things on the patrol get out of hand. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Thinks pirates and cringes. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Leans down and whispers… ::   XO: Sir you may want to get your mind off yer girlfriend or whatever she is….   :: Smiles and walks away to tactical, tapping a few buttons bringing it to life. ::

SO Lane says:
FCO: Do you have them on your navigational sensors Alex?

CNS Shirley says:
:: Watches everyone on the bridge. ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Does scans of the area. ::

FCO Horn says:
SO: I have them

SO Lane says:
:: Doesn't like Orion’s. ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Maintains a watchful eye on the power systems. ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Bring us closer but keep a fair distance, Commander Horn.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Pulls up specs on Orion ships and sends them to FCO and XO. ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Keeps ship on sensors and tries to make sure the ship does not get too close. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Notices a discrepancy or two in the EPS flow to the shield emitter; not the kind of problem that would ordinarily cause a problem, but something he can at least examine. ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Captain, we have a contact you might be interested in.

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Tactical ready.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to CIV. ::

Host CO Royce says:
*XO*:  What do you have #1?

CEO Davis says:
:: Standing, he heads towards the wall display in the center of Main Engineering and studies the shield emitter on it. ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Bringing the ship in closer, but not too close

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Contact with Cardassians and Orion’s.  Should be interesting.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Monitors the contact. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Seems to recognize the new CIV. ::

Host CO Royce says:
*XO*:  Cardassians and Orion’s?  How far away?  Any threat to the ship?

CIV McDonald says:
:: Looks back at the SO and nods. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Unable to find anything on the display, he turns back to the master systems display table and brings up the shield emitter schematics, cross-referencing them with the EPS taps in the vicinity. ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* No immediate threat but with that combination, it's hard to tell.  They are in sensor range now.

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Yellow alert?

SO Lane says:
XO: Commander, I'm not getting any lifesign readings on that station.

Host CO Royce says:
*XO* Keep an eye open, then, Sam.  I trust your instincts.

XO Kelson says:
:: Shakes head at CIV. ::   CIV: Not yet...

FCO Horn says:
:: Continues to keep the ship at a safe distance. ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Aye, aye Captain.  Kelson out.

EO Tomari says:
:: Scans ship for power signatures. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Goes back to her reports. ::

XO Kelson says:
SO: Okay...so the question is then...what do the Orion’s want with that station?

CEO Davis says:
:: Sees that the master systems display also shows performance degradation in the same area that his office console showed; he attempts to find out more by scanning the area. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: Good question sir, salvage perhaps?

XO Kelson says:
SO: Awful lot of trouble and resources for a salvage operation, don't you think?

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Sir, I'm sensing deceit from them.

EO Tomari says:
XO: Sir, I'm not detecting any power coming from the station, just the ships.

FCO Horn says:
Self: Charles Horn...no, doesn't have a ring to it.

CEO Davis says:
:: Unable to find anything from the area itself, he turns back to the wall display and observes the field generators on Deck 10. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Scans for damage to the station. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: Agreed sir, but with the Orion’s we just don't know what motives they might have.

XO Kelson says:
EO: Thank you, Tomari.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Taps combadge. ::   *CNS* Royce to Shirley

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Just to be on the safe side, I really would recommend Yellow alert.

XO Kelson says:
SO: Well then...   :: Smiles ::   It's been a boring few hours.  Let's pay a visit.

FCO Horn says:
:: Continues to pilot the ship. ::

CNS Shirley says:
*CO*:  Yes Ma'am how can I help you?

CEO Davis says:
:: Brings up the power output of the generators, seeing nothing out of order there either. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Smiles. ::   XO: By your command sir.

Host CO Royce says:
*CNS* Please come to my Ready Room

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Plot an intercept course for the station.

CNS Shirley says:
*CO* Yes Ma'am.

CEO Davis says:
:: Looks to the three additional generators on Deck 31, brings up similar readings. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Heads toward Captain's Ready Room.  Rings chime. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to the door. ::    Door:  Come in

FCO Horn says:
XO: Aye sir, Course plotted. Want me to engage?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Assigns quarters to the New EO. ::

XO Kelson says:
CIV: We'll wait and see, Mr. McDonald.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Engage...

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Aye sir

CEO Davis says:
Self:  Ah ha...

CNS Shirley says:
:: Enters room. ::   CO: Ma'am you needed to see me?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Finishes reading her reports, turns off her computer. ::   CNS:  Yes...

FCO Horn says:
XO: Engaging now.   :: Hits the button on her panel that sends the ship to its destination. ::

SO Lane says:
OPS: Are you getting any power readings from the station?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Motions to the chair in front of her desk ::   CNS:  Please...

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Lt. Chaser, bring the station up on screen when in range.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around and sits down. ::  CO: Thank you...

OPS Chaser says:
XO: The Station appear-rs intact, just missing a fusion r-reactor-r.

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  I'd like to know your feeling on the crew...are they holding up well?  Is there anyone with any problems?

SO Lane says:
:: Double checks her scans again. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Notices that two of the generators are only operating at 62% output for some reason; immediately, he diverts 15% of available reserve power to the generators on Deck 10, in turn increasing their output to compensate for the lower generators. ::

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Aye, Sir-r.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Just a pile of scrap metal then, eh?  Something just doesn't add up.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Keeps a close eye on the station and ships. ::

XO Kelson says:
CIV: When in weapons range, go to yellow alert, Mr. McDonald.

CNS Shirley says:
CO: I feel everyone is really holding up pretty good.

CEO Davis says:
:: Disables one of the troublesome generators and initiates a level five diagnostic on the system. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods. ::   XO: Yes sir

XO Kelson says:
*CEO* Kelson to Davis.  Need any help down there?

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sir-r, fusion r-reactor-r ar-e easy to build, and install, r-right EO?

Host O CO Koltek says:
ACTION: A hail comes in from one of the Orion ships

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   CNS:  That's good to hear.  After our recent situation, I was concerned for them.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Puts the station on screen. ::

FCO Horn says:
Self: Reginald...definitely not, sounds to snobbish.

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sir-r they are hailing us.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Open the channel.

CEO Davis says:
*XO*:  Need a little more work than help at the moment, sir.  Things are pretty quiet.

CNS Shirley says:
CO: I feel that we have a great crew who will stand beside you in any situation.

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Channel open, aye.

XO Kelson says:
*CEO* Just got a new officer for your department.  I went ahead and borrowed him for now.  He'll report to you soon.

FCO Horn says:
:: Looks around the bridge. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   CNS:  I agree, Counselor.  However, the stress of our last situation could have been a little much for some.  I just wanted to be sure...and since you are Betazoid, you can sense their feelings quicker than I

Host O CO Koltek says:
@COM: Vesuvius: XO: Puny Federation mammal...you are in are way...move away

SO Lane says:
:: Nods to Alex. ::

CEO Davis says:
*XO*: Sounds good.  I'll call if something drastic should come up.

FCO Horn says:
Self: Where is the CSO?

CIV McDonald says:
XO: They're within weapons range. Going to yellow alert. ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Seeing Hope, nods back. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
COM: Orion ship: Nice to meet you too...This is the Federation Starship Vesuvius.  Just paying a friendly neighborhood visit.  How are you today?  
:: Smiles ::

CNS Shirley says:
CO: I will keep senses open.  And if you feel before I let me know I can talk with them, and help them...

EO Tomari says:
*CEO*: Sir?

CEO Davis says:
:: Frowns, unsure of who is calling. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Taps a few buttons bringing the ship to yellow alert bringing phaser’s to hot standby and priming the forward photon tube. ::

CEO Davis says:
*EO*:  Yes?  Who is this?

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  Thank you Counselor...but I think you will sense them before I.
:: Raising... ::   Thank you again.  You're dismissed.

CEO Davis says:
:: Hears the klaxon of yellow alert and immediately stiffens up. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Waits for response. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Continues scanning the Orion ships. ::

Host O CO Koltek says:
@COM: Vesuvius: XO: Ah…a smiling mammal...good...I am Koltek...and I am going that way with my...junk....

OPS Chaser says:
:: Re-routes power to back up shields and weapon systems. ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Feels another telepath on the ship, but unsure of where it is. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Hears the yellow alert warnings. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Gets up to leave. ::   CO: Thank you Ma'am.

FCO Horn says:
:: Hearing yellow alert begins to plot offensive and defensive moves into the computer. ::

EO Tomari says:
*CEO*: This is Lt. Tomari.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Senses the other telepaths on the bridge but has a job to do. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Looks at the console, hoping the diagnostic will finish sooner rather than later considering the alert condition.  ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Leaves ready room back to bridge. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to the Bridge. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Walks onto the bridge. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Straightens up as the CO enters the bridge. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods to the CO. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Smiles slightly. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@COM: Koltek: Nice piece of junk you have there.  But by our sensor readings, it's missing something.  What are your intentions and destination, if I might inquire?   :: Hooks thumb into tunic. ::

CEO Davis says:
*EO*:  My apologies...it doesn't ring a bell.

EO Tomari says:
:: Straightens up as the CO enters the bridge. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Heads to my seat and sits down. ::

EO Tomari says:
*CEO*: I'm the new EO, sir.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to the XO's chair and takes a seat. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to CO and motions to screen. ::

CEO Davis says:
*EO*:  Oh!  I'm sorry.  I'm Lieutenant Davis.  What can I do for you?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles back to the XO, indicating he may continue. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Tightens the view of the Orion’s ships and station in tow. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Looks at the Orion Captain on the screen and cringes at his ugliness. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
COM: Orion Ship: Unless of course, it's some sort of Orion secret?

EO Tomari says:
*CEO*: Sir, you commend me....

Host O CO Koltek says:
@:: Smiles and shows a few missing teeth. ::   COM: Vesuvius: XO: I be going with my salvage...to sell at Feringnar...make lots of latinum...but I am willing to make a little deal on the side if you wish...I have…   :: Pause ::   Romulan Ale...you would like to buy ?

Host XO Kelson says:
COM: Orion: Romulan Ale?  Isn't that illegal in these parts?  Now, you wouldn't be tryin' to butter me up now would you, Mr. Koltek?   :: Raises eyebrow. ::

FCO Horn says:
Self: If Captain Universe ever got that ale, we all would be in trouble

SO Lane says:
:: Giggles at Sam's comment because she knows that he's the best at buttering people up. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Finally gets the results of the diagnostic, seeing that only four of the twelve clusters in the generator are functioning; although unfounded, his guess was that this was due to a power surge. ::

Host O CO Koltek says:
@:: Smiles more. ::   XO: I no good in human speech stuff...I have no butter for sale. But illegal??? No.... If Federation mammal does not like the good stuff...then I be leaving then

EO Tomari says:
:: Tries to read the Orion’s. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Wiggles in chair and just watching everything around me. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
CNS: What do you think, Counselor?  Is he hiding anything?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Watches the exchange between the XO and the Orion, making mental notes. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Figures this was probably the same problem in the other malfunctioning generator, but wonders why they were contributing to the overall performance since only one would be active in cruise mode. ::

CNS Shirley says:
XO:  Just be careful.  Not that I sense as of yet. Sir....

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks around the bridge to the others, watching, observing... ::

Host XO Kelson says:
CO: Captain?  Would you like to take a crack at him?

FCO Horn says:
:: Continues to keep the ship at a respectful distance. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Feels the Captain's eyes on her and tenses slightly at her station, her tail swaying back and forth behind her. ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Tries to locate the other telepath. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Adds a note into console to repair both generators, but decides to keep them operational while the ship is in alert mode since performance won't be affected. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles slightly as she observes the crew and the situation. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Ends diagnostic and makes way for turbolift. ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  You're doing fine, Cmdr.  Please...continue

CEO Davis says:
:: Enters lift. ::

CEO Davis says:
TL: Bridge.

EO Tomari says:
(((All: Can anyone hear me?)))

Host XO Kelson says:
COM: Orion: If you don't mind, we'll stay around a little longer.  You know...just in case you need us?   :: Smiles. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Can see Chaser switching her tail. ::   Self: She seems nervous.

FCO Horn says:
Self: Jonathan Richard Horn...I like that. Sounds good

CNS Shirley says:
(((yes)))

OPS Chaser says:
:: Pulls up schematics of the missing fusion reactor of the station, and scans the area for the one that matches the specs. ::

CIV McDonald says:
(((EO: Yep. Now if ya could keep it down)))

EO Tomari says:
(((CNS: Do you get the same feeling from these Orion’s that I do?)))

CEO Davis says:
:: Enters Bridge and immediately comes to a halt as he sees an unfamiliar face at the engineering console. ::

CNS Shirley says:
(((EO: Some, it is a strange feeling.)))

FCO Horn says:
All: That's it.

CEO Davis says:
:: Not wanting to disturb anyone, he walks towards the Mission Operations console. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Returns to her routine scans. ::

Host O CO Koltek says:
@:: Smiles more. ::   XO: What ever pink mammal...I would love to chat...but I am busy.... I talk later.   :: Closes channel ::

EO Tomari says:
(((CNS: It feels like he is having fun with this little exchange.)))

CIV McDonald says:
(((CNS/EO: They are hiding something.)))

FCO Horn says:
:: Realizes she said the last statement out loud and turns red in hopes no one says anything. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
CO: Well, Captain.  Our sensors don't show anything out of the ordinary.  Should we stay or move on?

CNS Shirley says:
(((EO/CIV: yep)))

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at the FCO's out burst and wonders about it. ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Let's move on, Cmdr

OPS Chaser says:
:: Glances sideways at the FCO, keepin’ her head forward. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Brings up general read-outs from the warp engines and attempts to absorb some of the Bridge atmosphere. ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Quickly hankers down and tries to make herself invisible at her console. ::

EO Tomari says:
(((CIV/CNS: I believe so...he would sell his soul if he knew he could profit from it)))

CIV McDonald says:
:: Pipes up. ::   XO/CO: We might wanna watch them. They've got something up their sleeve.

Host XO Kelson says:
FCO: Resume course to original coordinates, Commander Horn.

CIV McDonald says:
(((EO/CNS: Yes I agree.)))

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sits back in the XO's chair. ::    XO:  You do well, Sam...please, continue while I observe the crew.

FCO Horn says:
:: Looks up. ::   XO: Aye sir, resuming course.

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Ther-re is no r-reactor-r in sensor-r r-range for-r the station, Sir-r.

CNS Shirley says:
(((EO/CIV that is true...  )))

Host XO Kelson says:
CIV: What exactly do you base this distrust on, Mr. McDonald?

SO Lane says:
XO: Sir, shall I continue monitoring the Orion’s?

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to Hope. ::

Host O CO Koltek says:
@ <O XO>: O CO: They are moving away...now...

EO Tomari says:
(((CNS/CIV: So what is on that station so valuable?)))

CEO Davis says:
:: Still unsure of what events are transpiring around him. ::

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Since my records haven't gotten here yet, you might want to know I'm empathic…half Human and half Betazoid.

CNS Shirley says:
(((EO/CIV: All I sense is metal and the ships on it)))

Host O CO Koltek says:
@ O XO: Finally...I can get rid of this monkey suite...?   :: Removes mask. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Nods back to Sam and watches the sensors closely. ::

CIV McDonald says:
(((CNS/EO: Likewise Shirley.)))

Host XO Kelson says:
CIV: And what do you sense then?

CIV McDonald says:
XO: It's almost as if they're hiding something. I'm not sure what though.

CNS Shirley says:
(((CIV: Want me to help you out?)))

EO Tomari says:
:: Reaches out with mind. ::

Host Cmdr Stone says:
@ Lt Cmdr Taylor: You think they bought it ?

CIV McDonald says:
(((CNS: That would be appreciated)))

Host XO Kelson says:
CIV: Well, empathic or not.  I cannot delay on a gut feeling.  Get me some hard data.

FCO Horn says:
:: Tries to keep the ship on sensors as the ship moves away. ::

EO Tomari says:
(((CIV/CNS: I am getting a blank picture.))))

SO Lane says:
:: Re-checks the lifesigns on the Orion ships. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Sighs. ::   XO: Yes sir.   :: Grumbles at the mistrust the XO has towards an empaths.  ::

Host Cmdr Stone says:
@ <Taylor>:: Nods ::   Stone: We gave them exactly what they expected.... Nice touch about the ale too... you have some by the way?

Host XO Kelson says:
OPS: Send this to Starfleet.  See if they have anything on this Koltek.

CNS Shirley says:
XO:  I am feeling the same as the Mr. McDonald, I feel they are hiding something, and want that station because of the metal and the ships....

Host Cmdr Stone says:
@:: Removes his costume to show a Black Uniform with white trim ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Speaks up. :: XO: Sir, I have the same feeling.

SO Lane says:
:: Has a strange feeling about those lifesigns. ::

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Aye, Sir-r.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods to the EO. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Listens to the exchange between her officers. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Nods. ::

Host Cmdr Stone says:
ACTION: The station and the ships slowly fall out of sensor range

EO Tomari says:
:: Nods back to the CIV. ::

CNS Shirley says:
(((CIV: Everything is ok; it takes a while for everyone to trust empaths.)))

CIV McDonald says:
(((CNS: I know. It just irks me.)))

EO Tomari says:
(((CNS: That is true.)))

SO Lane says:
XO: Commander, the Orion ships and the station are almost out of sensor range.

Host XO Kelson says:
FCO: Keep us on the edge of sensor range for now, Commander Horn.  Let's see what they do.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Encodes a priority one message with all data collected on the Orion’s and sends it off on a secure subspace channel. ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: The ship is going out of my sensor range

FCO Horn says:
XO: Aye sir, keeping them at the edge of sensors

Host XO Kelson says:
SO: Did you only get Orion life signs, Ms. Lane?

OPS Chaser says:
:: re-configures long range sensors to monitor for e-band emissions. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: Yes I did sir, but there was something strange about them.

Host XO Kelson says:
SO: How so?

SO Lane says:
XO: Just can't put my finger on it sir.

SO Lane says:
XO: Could be a glitch in the readings.

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Monitor-ring e-band emissions, Sir-r.

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Shakes head. ::   Self: All these bad feelings.  I need some facts, Dammit!

EO Tomari says:
:: Can hear the words its time for a diagnostic. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
