:: Reaches down and unhooks the safety from her kut'luch and puts her hands uneasily on the table. ::

CTO Horn says:
CIV: Understood. Keep up the good work.

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to Klingon's statement. ::

:: Continues monitoring the power systems. ::

CSO Trelan says:
ADM: Of course, sir.

Host ADM Taylor says:
ALL:  I am...trying to avoid...tainting the data you collect.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Leans over to the FCO… ::   FCO: Zria, power relay is out on Deck 12. I've already re-routed.  Oh, probably they're having some bloodwine or something.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Puts down her bubble juice and picks up her tankard. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
All: Here...Here...!   :: Takes a drink. ::

FCO Zria says:

*EO*: Power relay out on Deck 12.

CSO Trelan says:
CTO/SO: EVA suits.   :: Goes to closet and retrieves one. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Empties glass and drops mug on table. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
ALL:  Now, if I may interject and turn to the business at hand, there are some things we must all be aware of.

FCO Zria says:
:: Remembers the one time that she tasted bloodwine when she was growing up on Betazed and shivers. ::

EO Tomari says:

CIV: How long have you served aboard the Vesuvius?

CTO Horn says:
:: Once ready, walks towards the PADD and hesitates before she steps on the pad. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Frowns at the OPS officer. ::

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: A few months now. Came from the Huron, needed a change from being CMO.

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

OPS Chaser says:
:: Leaps from her seat and runs out the door. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Steps onto the platform and makes a last check of her suit and equipment. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Leaps the rail and heads for the turbolift. ::

CTO Horn says:
CSO: Don't you think it would be safer to use the shuttle?

OPS Chaser says:
:: As the door closes the inevitable happens. ::

CSO Trelan says:
Transporter Chief: Set coordinates to the Romulan vessel. I want to be as close to the launcher as possible. Energize.

Host XO Kelson says:
All: Little Kit can't hold her drink, I guess.   :: Smiles at Klingon. ::

FCO Zria says:
:: Nods. ::   CIV: CMO would be a stressful position.  At least that's what I believe after studying medicine at the Academy.  Too much going on in that area…always something.

Host ADM Taylor says:
XO:  I suspect it is her Andorian physiology.

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: Yes totally. I'm glad to be CIV here. I can use my medical background when necessary but also learn about the other areas. I'm especially interested in Diplomacy

Host XO Kelson says:
ADM: Of course, Admiral...   :: Regains composure. ::   You were saying?

CTO Horn says:
:: Begins to feel nervous. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Nods. ::   Admiral...did you have something for us?

SO Lane says:
:: Looks at Alex and smiles nervously. ::

CTO Horn says:
CSO: I would really recommend using a shuttle…

OPS Chaser says:
:: Takes a few deep breaths and calls environmental services for a clean up, pops a breath mint and exits the turbolift, back to the bridge and re-enters the Lounge, quickly taking her seat. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
ALL:  I feel we may have an interstellar conspiracy at work that extends to areas we have not seen before.

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Sees her return and nods. ::

FCO Zria says:
CIV:  That was always my weakest point at the academy.  I barely passed that class, especially since the instructor was male.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Growls and nods at the Chancellor.  ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Begins to rub her tummy. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Nods at Admiral. ::

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: Really.

Host ADM Taylor says:
ALL: Consider what we have found thus far...

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: Well, do you want to go to maybe the Lava Lounge after our shift and maybe talk. Oh wait, I can't have to go pick my son up.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sits in her chair still a little green. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
ALL: Romulan hardware, with Breen support, attacking Klingon interests, with mysterious communications from the Federation.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Waits for Horn.  ::

SO Lane says:
CTO: Are you alright Alex?   :: Looks concerned. ::

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Let's go, LtCmdr.

CTO Horn says:
:: Steps onto the PADD. ::   Self: It will be okay, it will be okay…

FCO Zria says:
:: Smiles. ::   CIV:  You have a son with you on board?  What is his name?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Pats the CTO on the shoulder. ::

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: Caleb. I had him with my ex-wife who is now deceased. Unfortunately, she hasn't been able to see him come up.

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Alex, it will be OK. I promise.   :: Smiles. ::

CTO Horn says:
SO: I am fine…haven't transported since I got pregnant.

Host ADM Taylor says:
ALL:  I'm open to other interpretations of the data, but that's what logic dictates, for all it's worth, here.  I'd like to hear what you think, Vice Chancellor…you too, Mister Kelson.

CTO Horn says:
CSO/SO: I will be fine

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
ADM: That's quite a combination, Admiral.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Is relieved the Admiral didn't call on her. ::

SO Lane says:
CTO: Deep breaths Alex...slow and deep.

FCO Zria says:
CIV: That is sad, but I'm sure he gets a lot of love and attention from you.  As for the lounge, maybe another time when your son can go too.

Host ADM Taylor says:
XO:  Well, you were there as well.  You saw most of it with your own eyes.  What do you think?

CTO Horn says:
:: Wiggles legs to help calm her nervousness. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: The room finally stops spinning. ::

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: Most certainly…yes, and his godparents who I actually have to send a message with pictures to.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Waits for CTO to get into position. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Takes a Klingon tricorder from his aide. ::   Taylor: I have additional information as well...

FCO Zria says:
CIV:  It's important to keep people that important to him updated.

Host XO Kelson says:
ADM: If what we saw is in actuality a combining of Breen/Romulan/Federation forces, we could be in for quite a fight.

CTO Horn says:
:: Stands on pad. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
:: Turns to Sar'Gon… ::   SAR:  Indeed.   :: Waits to hear. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Defers to Klingon. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods to the transporter chief. ::   Transporter Chief: Energize.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Peers warily at the tricorder. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Watches as the transporter room changes into a small corridor on the Romulan vessel. ::

CTO Horn says:
@:: Takes deep breathes waiting to be energized; to be whisked across space, bit by bit to be re-materialized somewhere else. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Materializes on the Romulan ship. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
ACTION:  The away team is transported to the Romulan wreck...

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
Taylor: I have been made aware... something that most of Starfleet is not... That a Breen ship has been sighted in many sectors of your Federation... testing your defenses...

SO Lane says:
@:: Pulls out her tricorder and begins to scan the area. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
Taylor: It even almost captured the USS Kodiac near Avalon Station

CIV McDonald says:
:: Continues working at the OPS console. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
SAR:  I have heard these reports, but not through my usual intelligence channels.  It's like I am being...how would you say it...shut out of the loop?

CTO Horn says:
@:: Opens eyes and sees that they are on the Romulan ship; begins to rub her stomach to ensure that she is fine. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
Taylor: It was last seen heading back into Breen space…   :: Growls. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Growls under her breath nuchpu'. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@SO: Check for radion energy. I believe that is what the launcher was using.

SO Lane says:
@CSO: I think we need to get to the bridge, or what's left of it.

CTO Horn says:
@:: Takes out tricorder and begins scanning for any dangers. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
ADM: That's not a good sign, Admiral.  You are our only source of knowledge to this conspiracy.

FCO Zria says:
:: Stands and stretches, then returns to her seat making a few adjustments on her console. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@SO: OK…this way….   :: Heads to a ladder that leads up. ::

SO Lane says:
@CSO: Aye sir, adjusting my tricorder for radion energy. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Frowns. ::   XO: There is much dishonor to be found and stopped.

CTO Horn says:
@CSO: Reading no life signs or power. The structural integrity is very unstable. I would recommend heading to engineering. We could access all the information form there and it would be safer.

SO Lane says:
@:: Makes her way to the ladder. ::   CTO: After you Alex.

Host XO Kelson says:
Sar'Gon: Vice-Chancellor...has the Klingon Fleet engaged the enemy?

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: I've actually never met a Deltan. How does your species procreate if you’re all celibate?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Whispers to herself. ::   Self: Death befor-re dishonor-r-r.

Host ADM Taylor says:
XO: As you have said, Vice Chancellor Sar'Gon, if you have any information...I would be in your debt.  I fear the threat is greater than we all realize even now.

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Begins climbing. ::

CTO Horn says:
@:: Follows the CSO. ::

CTO Horn says:
@SO: Thank you

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Shakes head. ::   Taylor: For NOW...it is all I have...I will find more….
:: Growls. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Grimaces, hates clogging around in these things. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
ALL:  Then we are at a standstill.   :: Rises suddenly. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Climbs up after the CTO then pauses to check her readings… ::   CSO: Sir, I have a small power reading from the bridge area.

Host ADM Taylor says:
:: Walks to the window then begins to pace like a caged animal. ::

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Nods. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@SO: What kind of reading?

FCO Zria says:
:: Smiles. ::   CIV: On the Deltan Homeworld there is little need for an oath of celibacy.  However, once we leave Delta IV it is required so that we do not take advantage of sexually immature species.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Gets a sense of uneasiness emanating from the Observation lounge.

Host ADM Taylor says:
:: Stops… ::  ALL:  What is the best defense when attacked?   :: Smiles grimly. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Looks… ::   FCO: Oh really? And what species do you consider sexually inferior?

SO Lane says:
@CSO: Hard to say with all the interference sir; but a definite power reading of some sort.

Host XO Kelson says:
ADM: We should be able to learn something from our analysis of the missile and our away team analysis of the Romulan vessel.

OPS Chaser says:
ADM: Choose to fight, not negotiate.

CTO Horn says:
@:: Uses her tricorder to confirm the readings of the SO and try to pinpoint the nature of the power. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
ADM: The best defense is a good offense, in my book, Admiral.
:: Smiles. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@CTO/SO: Be prepared.   :: Pulls phaser as he climbs. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
XO:  It's a start...but the good Lieutenant has it.  We counter-attack...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Covers her mouth can't believe she said that out loud. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Continues to climb cautiously. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles at Chaser in agreement. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
SAR:  Is it not so?

CTO Horn says:
@:: Puts the tricorder away and has her phaser ready and continues to climb after the CSO. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Reaches the top, moving aside so the others can get on the deck. ::

FCO Zria says:
CIV: Compared to the Deltan species, most others are considered immature.  It can be evidenced by their reactions to us.  However, if you wish names of specific species, I can compile a list for you.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Wipes the surprised look off her face like she meant to do that. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Waits for Alex to reach the deck. ::

Host XO Kelson says:
ADM: Just say the word, Admiral and we will lead you into battle.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Smiles. ::   FCO: No that’s okay, I've always been curious about your species and have never encountered one before…

CTO Horn says:
@:: Climbs up and once on top begins to scan the area with her eyes and sweep the area with her phaser ready to fire. ::

FCO Zria says:
CIV: Of course, your curiosity is quite understandable.

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Nods. ::   Taylor: I like your style...let us proceed…and crush them!

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Touches the control panel, opening the hatch to the bridge. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Pulls herself to the deck. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Cautiously enters, looking around. ::

CTO Horn says:
@CSO: Looks safe…   :: Moves aside so the SO can climb up. ::

Host ADM Taylor says:
:: Smiles. ::   XO:  Commander, spoken like a warrior...  SAR:  We must speak in private...we have much to exchange.

CIV McDonald says:
FCO: And there’s also much still to be learned about your physiology actually. If I get permission from the CNS. Would you be adverse to me running a few scans to get some more details about your species for the record?

CSO Trelan says:
@SO: Where is that power reading?

SO Lane says:
@:: Stands and begins to scan again. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Jumps to her feet yelling… ::   ALL:  It is a good day to die!!

Host XO Kelson says:
:: Nods in agreement with Klingon. ::   ALL: Yes, crush them before they have another chance to attack a star system.

Host Vice Chancellor Sar’Gon says:
:: Nods. ::   Taylor: We must indeed...   :: Turns to the guards to remain.::

Host ADM Taylor says:
ACTION:  A small terminal on the bridge is still operational...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Throws her tankard across the room into the bulkhead and stands at
attention. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Turns to the right. ::   CSO: This way sir.   :: Motions with her hand. ::

CTO Horn says:
@:: Moves over to the nearest panel and examines it and sees if there is any information to be obtained from it. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Moves in the direction the SO indicates. :: 

FCO Zria says:
:: Shakes her head… ::   CIV:  No, not at all, having a medical background myself, I am open to that.  If you wish, you could always review the data from my last physical which was just before I came on board a few weeks ago.
