USS Vesuvius NCC 71985
Mission Arc:  ...to join this couple...

Episode 3:  Send in the Clones...

Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

The Vesuvius had intercepted a personnel transport containing Ben Zanar, the Captain's old flame, and the Captain, who was on the bridge of the Vesuvius at the same time...

A Very confused and concerned crew is now investigating the goings on in an attempt to discern the real captain and put things back the way they are supposed to be.

:: On the bridge at science one wondering what the next move will be ::

CTO Horn says:
TO: What is the status so far?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Exits lift onto the bridge ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Stands to one side of  the bridge ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Comparing the data regarding the transporter signature to the data on the Captain's energy signature ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
FCO: Bridge status, Commander?

FCO Horn says:
<TO> CTO: Waiting for the doc to figure out what's going on.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Standing in sickbay, somewhat shocked at the direction this whole thing is taking ::

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: What do you make of all this?

Host Xen says:
CO:  So...Xenobia...would you be willing to take on a civilian life?

FCO Horn says:
CSO: We are holding position until our mystery is solved.  Everything is in lock down until the Founder is caught and dealt with.

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  I...I...don't know...   :: Stunned ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
FCO: Very well. Take your post.

CTO Horn says:
:: Calls for LT. Shadow to help guard Sickbay ::

Host Xen says:
:: Looks at her trying not to loose her temper.  Gently... ::   CO:  THIS is MY life...

FCO Horn says:
CSO: Aye sir.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Lowers voice ::   FCO: And Sarah, good job.   :: Winks ::

SO Lane says:
CSO: Commander, would you like to assume science one?

Host Xen says:
:: Points to the floor as she speaks ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Grins back at the Cmdr. ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> :: Stands from her post and leaves the bridge ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Turns to his SO ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Takes Flight Control ::

Host Xen says:
CO:  I WANT it back.  You can be with Ben.  He would not be the wiser.

CMO Zria says:
:: Looks at the information on the screen and then at Lennier ::   CIV:  Well, from the exact match of the DNA, one is a clone... and considering the energy signature of the uniformed Captain Royce matches the trace energy signature of the transporter beam detected at the Captain's wedding, I'd say we now have a way to tell them apart.

CNS Shirley says:
CSO: What can I do to help Sir?

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: Yes I would agree.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: Not at the moment, Lieutenant. I'm afraid my duty lies elsewhere at the time being. At least until we figure out who the real Captain is.

CTO Horn says:
:: Once Lt. Shadow shows up turns and heads towards Bridge ::

SO Lane says:
:: Nods knowingly ::   CSO: Of course sir, I understand.

Host CO Royce says:
Xenobia:  Then you know how I feel.  This is MY life TOO!  I don't know any other.  Who is to say who is whose clone here?

CTO Horn says:
TO/Shadow: Keep me posted on the status

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: Anything on internal sensors to detect our unwanted friend?

Host Xen says:
:: Smiles understandingly... ::   CO:  The Doctor...

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: How do we tell them?   :: Points over to the two Captains :: 

CMO Zria says:
CIV:  It also indicates that she's the clone and that the Captain Royce that was in the transport is our real Captain.

FCO Horn says:
CSO: How are you doing with all this, Sir?   :: Turns to look at the CSO ::

Host Xen says:
:: Confident she is who she is though the rest of her staff can't tell her apart from the Xenobia in uniform ::

CNS Shirley says:
CSO: What can I do to help Sir?

FCO Horn says:
<TO Horn> :: Nods ::

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: I see that now.  So how do you want to deal with this Zria?

CTO Horn says:
:: Steps into the turbolift and is about to say Bridge but changes her mind ::

SO Lane says:
CSO: No sir, but I am still running scans of the unoccupied sections of the ship. If he's there, I'll find him.   :: Smiles ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
FCO: I'm...dealing with it. Safety of this ship and crew must take precedence. Thank you for asking.

CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles ::   CIV:  Good question, considering that this may cause other problems down the line.  

Host Xen says:
CO:  Think about it.  That's all I ask.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CNS: Try to find our visitor. We have to catch him before something bad happens.

CTO Horn says:
Self: No, I should be with the Captain   :: Exits turbo lift and heads back to Sickbay ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: Good. Keep me informed.

CNS Shirley says:
CSO:  Alright Sir....

CMO Zria says:
CIV:  I suppose the best route is to be honest with the two of them.   :: Stands to walk over to the two Captains. ::

Host Xen says:
:: Sits crossed-legged on the biobed tapping her fingers. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  I'll wait for the results of the tests.   :: Confidant of who she is ::

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: Yes it might. What do you suggest   :: Spins around and walks over with the CMO ::

SO Lane says:
CSO: Aye sir.   :: Returns to monitoring the internal sensors ::

Host Xen says:
:: Smiles and nods. ::   CO:  And what if it turns out YOU are the clone?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Trelan to Horn…Status on the security teams?

CTO Horn says:
:: Walks past the TO and Lt. Shadow and enters sickbay ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sees the CMO ::   Xenobia:  Tell you what.  If I'm the clone, I'll step out of your spot.  But go with Ben?  I don't know.

Host Xen says:
:: Nods ::   CO:  He's in love with us...at least one of us....

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: As of present Alpha Team is posted around the ship, B, C, and D Teams are searching and E Team is on standby

Host CO Royce says:
Xen: But we both love Dru, too.  You can't ask me to just throw that out!

CMO Zria says:
:: Stops as she hears the question proposed ::   CO/Xen: I have the results from the tests.  And the energy signature that Lt. MacDonald discovered is the key.  

CIV McDonald says:
:: Stands confidently :: 

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Good. What is our best tactical advantage against the Founder?

Host Xen says:
CO:  I understand...but if YOU are the clone...you will have to decide whether to go with Ben, and ease his mind and make him happy or...what would you do?

CTO Horn says:
:: Walks up to the CMO ::   CMO: What is status on the two Captains?

Host Xen says:
:: Looks over to the CMO ::   CMO:  Doctor...what say you?

CMO Zria says:
:: Turns to the CTO ::   CTO: I was just about to tell them the results of the tests.

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  I'm not sure this can be about Ben's happiness...he broke the law by kidnapping you...me...you know what I mean.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around the bridge just seeing what is going on ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Taps into OPS to check on the security scan for the Founder ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Listens for the Doctor's results ::

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: Right now our best advantage is that we know that there is one on board. Finding him is a different matter

Host Xen says:
:: Smiles at the CO and nods understandingly while looking to the CMO ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Understood. Trelan out.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Sighs, then begins to pace ::

CTO Horn says:
CMO: What is the results? Are they truly identical?

SO Lane says:
:: Sees a lifesign near the waste disposal section that shouldn't be there and checks it closely ::   Self: Hmm, what is that?

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Doctor, it's all right.  We're both ready for your results.

CMO Zria says:
CO/Xen:  The energy signature has traces of chroniton particles from the cloning process, which tells us that you are the clone.   :: Looks directly at the uniformed Captain. ::   The cloning process was done with a transporter that's why the cloning is complete including the symbiont.

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: My teams are doing their best to find him

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
Self: We have to find this Founder...but he could be anyone...anything...even one of the two Xen’s.

Host Xen says:
:: Smiles to herself, but at the same time feels for her uniformed self. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods in agreement :: 

Host Xen says:
:: Looks over at the uniformed Xenobia ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Keep me informed. Anything on the two captains yet? Have we discovered the real Captain Royce?

CMO Zria says:
CO/Xen/CTO:  It appears that the cloning was completed simultaneously with your abduction.   :: Looks up at Xen and hands each of the two a PADD ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Is stunned to hear she is a clone, but recovers and takes it in stride ::  Xen:  Well, then I suppose I relinquish command to you...Captain.

SO Lane says:
:: Starts to giggle ::   Self: Oops, someone's pet has escaped again.   :: Sees that the lifesign is a canine signature ::

Host Xen says:
:: Reads it quickly ::   CMO:  It matches the PADD I gave the Cmdr Kelson....

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: The doctor is going over the results as we speak. As soon as the real one is discovered, I will take the necessary action

Host Xen says:
CO:  Thank you, Captain.  Is there anything I can do for you?

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks to turbolift and goes to another deck :

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Good. Bridge out.

Host Xen says:
::  Hopes off the biobed and stands next to the uniformed Royce ::

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  I'm not sure.  But I think this belongs to you...by right.  ::hands Xenobia an earring that belonged to Dru's mother ::

CMO Zria says:
CO/Xen:  Yes, along with the DNA results from both of you.

Host Xen says:
:: Looks at the earring then takes it gently and nods ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around just looking around to see if i see anything unusual ::

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: Do you need my services any more? if not I'll retire to the bridge.

CTO Horn says:
:: Pulls phaser out and points it towards the fake Captain ::

CMO Zria says:
CIV:  Perhaps we should leave the two alone to settle things.  

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  If you don't mind...call Alex off.  I have a feeling she'll not accept my order.

CMO Zria says:
CIV: That's fine.  Thank you for all of your help.

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: Agreed.   :: Nods to the two captains :: 

CNS Shirley says:
~~~ CIV: Is everything going alright down there? anything unusual? ~~~

Host CO Royce says:
:: Puts on a brave face ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Turns around and heads for the bridge ::   ~~~ CNS: NO, but we did find the real captain. ~~~

Host Xen says:
:: Smiles and nods. ::   CTO:  Cmdr...she is not a threat.  She is not a Founder.  However...please escort her to wherever she needs to go.

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: The Fake Captain is been found, Sir. I am going to have her escorted to the bridge

SO Lane says:
:: Tightens the internal scanners to a narrower beam and analyses another section of the lower ship ::

CNS Shirley says:
~~~ CIV: At least you found the real Captain ~~~

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  I'd like to change.  And talk with you for a while.  You think we could do that?

CIV McDonald says:
~~~ CNS: Yes it’s a good thing. ~~~

Host Xen says:
:: Places a gently hand on the uniformed Captain's arm ::   CO:  I'm sorry, Jenii

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Excellent.   :: Relief heard in his voice ::   Tell the real captain it's good to have her back. I will await your arrival.

CTO Horn says:
Xen: I understand, but I have a duty to do. I cannot and will not take any chances.

Host Xen says:
:: Smiles ::   CO:  I would love that, Jenii

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles sadly ::   Xenobia:  What can I do?  I'm you!  I don't know any other life!

Host Xen says:
CTO:  I wouldn't want you take any chances, Cmdr...and I understand.  Do what you must.  :: Looks to Jenii ::   CO:  I hope you understand.

CTO Horn says:
CO Royce: Please follow me to the brig

Host Xen says:
CTO:  To the Brig?  Alex...that's not necessary

CIV McDonald says:
:: Leaves sickbay feeling sort of uneasy   :: Reaches the turbolift ::
Turbolift: Bridge

CTO Horn says:
CO Royce: Ma'am   :: Adds ma'am out of habit ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Leaves the three and returns to her other duties ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Arrives at the bridge a minute or two later and steps out :: 

CTO Horn says:
XEN: If you tell me not to I won’t; but procedures call for it

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Commander Horn.  If you will state the charges, I'll think about it.  I'd appreciate it if you got out of my face.

Host Xen says:
CTO:  On what charges does she need to go to the brig, Cmdr?

CTO Horn says:
:: Gives CO Royce a sideward look ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Turns as she hears the rest of the conversation ::   CTO: She is as much a victim as our real Captain...She didn't ask to be created and hasn't done anything illegal.

CTO Horn says:
XEN: Impersonating and Officer, Ma'am

Host Xen says:
CTO:  Not her fault, Alex.  And as the Doc said...she is a victim here.  Let her walk in freedom...let her walk with her dignity.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Ever hear of Lieutenant Thomas Riker, Commander?   :: Turns to
go ::   Shoot if you must.   Xen:  I'd like that talk, Xenobia.   :: Smiles ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Quickly thinking about the situation ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Shakes her head slowly ::   CTO:  Commander, as far as she knew, she was the Commanding Officer, and didn't know any differently until now.

CTO Horn says:
XEN: Would it be more to your satisfaction to have her restricted to quarters?

Host Xen says:
:: Watches her CTO and hopes she will not shot her copy ::

Host Xen says:
:: Nods ::   CTO:  For now, then, Alex.  Please escort her to some other quarters.   :: Smiles a little here ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Just keeps walking over the whole ship just to see if I see anything strange ::

SO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Dru and sighs ::   CSO: Sorry Commander, but the sensors just can't pick up anything outside of our own bio signs and one stray canine.

CTO Horn says:
:: Puts phaser away ::

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION:  the XO's Dog wanders to Deck 12 marking territory as he goes...

CTO Horn says:
CO Royce: Follow me please

FCO Horn says:
:: Pulls up a PADD and begins to schedule combat training exercises on the holodeck for her pilots ::

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Thank you.  Commander, keep up the good work.  :: Follows the CTO ::  Lead on...

SO Lane says:
CSO: Wait, Commander, I have something near engineering, jefferies tube 26, looks like a small density change there. That could be our founder sir.

CTO Horn says:
CO Royce/Xen/CMO: I will have Mr. Horn and Mr. Shadow be the escorts to the quarters

CMO Zria says:
Xen: Captain, Can I get you anything?

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods at her CTO ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Steps outside Sickbay and tells TO and Shadow to take the Clone to the VIP quarters and stand guard there ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Trelan to Horn. We may have our founder. Main Engineering, Jeffries tube 26!

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Sighs then smiles at the Doctor ::   CMO:  My deepest thanks to you Doctor.  I could use my own uniform...

CTO Horn says:
:: Looks over to the real Captain with a look saying 'Duty Calls' ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods ::   CO: Understandable, I can get you one from the replicator, if you like.  :: Starts in that direction ::

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: Understood, on my way

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods and smiles to her CTO ::   CTO:  Report before you leave please Alex...what's going on?

CTO Horn says:
*Alpha Epsilon Team*: Meet me in Engineering, Tube 26

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Calls after the doctor ::   CMO:  Thank you, Doctor!

CTO Horn says:
CO: Founder has been found by Engineering

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods ::   CTO:  Then go and do your job, Cmdr.  I'll be briefed as soon as I get to the Bridge

CMO Zria says:
:: Retrieves a uniform for the captain from the replicator and returns with it ::   CO: Here you go, Sir.  I'll pull out the screen so you can change.   :: Pulls the privacy screen into position for her and steps away ::

CTO Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am and by the way, welcome back

CTO Horn says:
:: Exits Sickbay and heads towards her destination ::

Host CO-Royce says:
CMO:  Thank you, Doctor      :: Begins to change into her uniform ::

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Finishes changing, returns to screen and looks for the CMO ::

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Sees her in another part of sickbay and moves towards her ::   CMO:  Doctor what's going on with this Founder?  What do you know?

FCO Horn says:
:: Is getting edgy over the inability to locate the founder ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Just keeps walking over the whole ship just to see if I see anything strange ::   Self: This is going to be strange if I find it...

CTO Horn says:
:: Arrives at the Jeffery tubes with Epsilon Team on her heals ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Looks up from what she's doing and sees the CO ::   CO: I'm not sure.  I know it attacked the counselor in her quarters and took her from and then later attacked the FCO.

Host Jenii_Royce says:
:: Once she reaches the VIP quarters, she removes her Captain's uniform...unsure of what to do next, she decides to replicate a black jumpsuit and puts it on ::

SO Lane says:
:: Wonders if the dog she picked up on the sensors could be Commander ::
Self: Oh I think Sam is going to be in trouble.

CTO Horn says:
:: Grabs a tricorder from one of the team members and begins to scan ::

FCO Horn says:
CSO: Sir, since the correct Captain has been located, we'll need to reinstate her command codes.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
FCO: Do it.

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: We are by the jefferies tubes now. Can you give us a more detailed position?

CMO Zria says:
CO:  That's when it was discovered.  I believe Commander Horn said that it had been found.  I really only sense confusion, Captain.  

Host CO-Royce says:
CMO:  I see.  Thank you Doctor...Zria...for everything!

FCO Horn says:
:: Taps into the security protocols and reinstates CO Royce's codes ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: Set internal sensors to emit a high level energy field. It will force the founder into his natural state.

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods ::   CO: Of course.   :: Smiles ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Working on it, stand by

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods ::  CMO:  I guess I’ll head to the bridge.

SO Lane says:
CSO: Adjusting the beam.

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Looks over at the TO awaiting her ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Gets impatient just standing there and waiting. Runs the tricorder over the area in hopes of discovering something ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: Perhaps, or find Commander Trelan.

SO Lane says:
CSO: I've lost the reading Commander. Looks like the founder has moved on.

Host CO-Royce says:
CMO:  Again Doctor...I am in your debt.   :: Smiles at her and nods then turns and heads out of sickbay, the TO walking with her ::

FCO Horn says:
<TO Horn> :: Turns to follow the Captain to the bridge ::

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Enters the turbolift ::   Turbolift:  Bridge

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: Keep an eye on sensors. If there is even a micron off in density, I want to know.

Host Jenii Royce says:
ACTION:  The founder eludes the trap of the energy field narrowly and continues on his way...

SO Lane says:
CSO: Yes sir.

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Feels the earring in her hands and wonders what she will say to Dru ::

CTO Horn says:
*CSO* Anything yet?

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Exits the turbolift with TO Horn behind her.  Pauses a moment on the bridge ::

SO Lane says:
:: Studies the readings as the sweep of each deck continues ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Not yet. Continue the search.   :: Sighs ::   We scanning the ship with a high level energy pulse. That should help locate it.

FCO Horn says:
<TO Horn> :: Walks toward Tactical, keeping a close eye on the Captain ::

Host Jenii Royce says:
:: Thinks about her life...and wonders if there is still a place in Starfleet for her...she crosses to the replicator and fetches Raktajino ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Welcome back to work, Ma'am.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Turns as he hears the turbolift...and smiles ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Orders the team to fan out and begin checking this section ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Heads to her office to prepare the final report regarding the Captain and her clone. ::

FCO Horn says:
::Wonders exactly which one that is ::

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Smiles at the bridge staff ::   FCO:  Thank you, Cmdr Horn

CTO Horn says:
Computer: Seal off this section and restrict access

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: Xen.

SO Lane says:
:: Looks up to the see that the Captain is back ::

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Moves down the ramp ::

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Smiles as she stops in front of the CSO resisting the urge...then decides to do it anyway...places a gentle hand to his face... ::   CSO:  It's me, Dru.    :: Looks at her other hand. ::

Host CO-Royce says:
CSO:  I think this belongs to you.    :: Opens her hand to reveal the earring ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Touches her hand ::

Host Jenii Royce says:
ACTION:  The founder finds a good hiding place and decides to lie low for the time being...

CTO Horn says:
:: Goes with two of the team members and helps in the search ::

SO Lane says:
:: Can't help notice the tender moment between the Captain and Trelan and
sighs ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: No...she would want you to have it.   :: Smiles ::   And so do I.

Host CO-Royce says:
CSO:  I never received it, Dru.  I wasn't there at the wedding after the disturbance...

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Looks down a moment then back to him ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: But you are now. That's all that matters.

Host CO-Royce says:
CSO:  But right now...I need to know what's going on around my ship

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Places the earring in his hand and closes it ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Straightens ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Finishes the report and leaves her office ::   Rachelle: You have sickbay for the remainder of the shift.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: Commander Horn has security teams searching for the founder.

Host CO-Royce says:
CSO: How did this Founder get on board...when...where...who?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: I have SO Lane modifying internal sensors to a high level energy field to revert it to it's natural state.

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods ::   CSO: Last known location?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: Near main engineering.

CMO Zria says:
:: Walks down the corridor and into one of the labs ::

Host CO-Royce says:
CSO:  And what's the latest update?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: Nothing so far. I think he's found a little corner to hide in.   :: Moves to the XO's seat, punching up the ship schematics and sensor locations ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Notices something ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Begins work on an experiment ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Trelan to Horn. What is your current location?

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods and takes her seat. ::   CSO:  You will continue to handle that, then.    FCO:  Our current location?

SO Lane says:
:: Blinks at the readings, then rubs her eyes to clear them ::   Self: Oh this is so frustrating. I might as well be in bed for all the good I'm doing here.

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: We are by Engineering. I have the area sealed off and almost finished with the search. Nothing yet though

FCO Horn says:
CO: 4 hours from SB64 Ma'am.  We stopped immediately after bringing the transport on board and are now in station keeping due to the search for the founder. 

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
*CTO* Proceed to Section 32. There is a spot that the internal sensors are missing. A small storage room against the left wall.

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods ::   FCO:  What was the result of the shakedown, Cmdr?

CTO Horn says:
*CSO*: Understood, On our way

CTO Horn says:
:: Pulls her team, except for two, and heads in that direction ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
Self: That's the only other logical place.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Engines seem to be running smoothly, although we haven't given them a complete high warp test.

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Nods ::   FCO:  Well, then...we need to test those engines.  Set course back to SB 64.  We'll test warp as we go.

Host CO-Royce says:
FCO:  Take the long way back...

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: Captain, I recommend we hold position. If we return to the Starbase, there's a chance our unwanted visitor could escape.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am, course to Starbase 64, laid in.

SO Lane says:
:: Looks up at her boss and sighs again ::   Self: Well he looks like he's having a good time.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Adding the long route home Captain   :: Grins ::

Host CO-Royce says:
CSO:  I'm confident Alex will find that Founder before we get back

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Nods with a smile ::   CO: You're the Captain.

CMO Zria says:
:: Frowns as the first results come back a failure and attempts to duplicate the experiment ::

Host CO-Royce says:
:: Smiles at her FCO ::   FCO:  Warp 1 and gradually go up as you receive clearance from engineering, Cmdr

CTO Horn says:
:: Arrives at the prescribes location and begins search again ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Nods and engages warp 1 ::
