USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985

From Dust to Dust: Episode 1

Starfleet has received reports of attacks on several colonies near the Romulan Neutral Zone.  These reports indicate the attacks are not of Romulan forces, but from a new, unidentifiable threat.  Intelligence reports from Remus indicate the Romulans are also being attacked by this unidentifiable force.

The USS Vesuvius has been ordered to patrol the border of the Romulan Neutral Zone, investigate these reports and identify this new threat.  She is currently three hours from the border.

Captain Kelson, in his Ready Room, is chatting with an old friend via subspace communications…

:: Running diagnostics on the weapons systems ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: Commander all long range sensors are online and operating at nominal levels.

CEO Davis says:
:: In office adjacent to the warp core, going over repair reports on the computer core ::

FCO Horn says:
:: At flight control, PADD in hand, going over the new rotation ::

XO Horn says:
CSO: Thank you

TO Blade says:
:: At Tactical ::

XO Horn says:
CTO: Tactical...what is your status?

CTO Horn says:
XO: I am running diagnostics as we speak.

CEO Davis says:
:: Notes that things are running within normal parameters, and that he hasn't had a chance to discuss the whole matter with the officer responsible ::

XO Horn says:
CTO: Let me know as soon as you are finished

Host XO Horn says:
OPS: What is your status?

CTO Horn says:
XO: Aye ma'am.

OPS Chaser says:
XO : Ma'am, the ship's power -r is at 100%.

FCO Horn says:
:: Looks at her list of available pilots, and tries to decide who to promote to bridge duty ::

Host XO Horn says:
OPS: Thank you

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION: Long range sensors detect an in-coming ship.  It is currently too far out to identify...

CEO Davis says:
:: Decides that the computer is worth keeping an eye on for now, but not worth losing sleep about; he allows a continuous diagnostic to remain running on one console and quickly shuffles to another ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Tactical is at 100%.

Host XO Horn says:
CTO: Thank you

CSO Lane says:
:: Gets something on her scans ::   XO: Ma'am, picking up a contact on the long range sensors. No identity, yet.

Host XO Horn says:
FCO: What is our current heading and speed?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Checks for a transponder signal ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Starts scanning the region with tactical sensors ::

Host XO Horn says:
CSO: Where?

CEO Davis says:
:: Initiates a level five diagnostic on the warp systems, just hoping for an overview of performance ::

Host XO Horn says:
CTO: Can you identify the ship?

FCO Horn says:
:: Glances over her PADD at the console ::   XO: We are at Warp 6, 3 hours out from the Romulan Neutral Zone.  Direct heading is to the nearest colony that was attacked.

CSO Lane says:
XO: Just coming into sensor range on the Federation's side of the neutral zone.

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION: The vessel draws closer

FCO Horn says:
:: Sets down her PADD to focus on her duties for a moment ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Stands but continues to view the console, figuring the diagnostic won't take long to run at all ::

Host XO Horn says:
CTO: Is it a Federation ship?

CTO Horn says:
XO: Scanning now...

CSO Lane says:
:: Checks the class configuration ::   XO: She's a Nebula class Commander.

CTO Horn says:
XO: I have a positive Identification.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Narrow the band for an attempted lock on the transponder signal ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: It is the USS Atlantis.

Host XO Horn says:
Self: Nebula Class?

FCO Horn says:
XO: Continue or shall we slow to meet them?

CSO Lane says:
:: Glances over at the CTO ::

Host XO Horn says:
FCO: Stand by on that

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION:  The Vesuvius receives a hail from the Atlantis

Host XO Horn says:
OPS: Can you open a channel

OPS Chaser says:
:: Opens a channel, nods to the XO ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Sees the scan complete with no problems apparent and decides that's good enough; he turns and strolls out of the office and into the heart of Main Engineering ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION: A familiar face appears on the viewscreen

Host CO Kelson says:
:: In Ready Room ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Looks up at the view screen ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
COM: Ves: Vesuvius, this is the USS Atlantis.

Host XO Horn says:
COM: Atlantis: This is Commander Horn. How may we help you?

Host Admiral Royce says:
COM: XO: Alex!  Nice to see you again!

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over at the screen at the sound of a woman's voice ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Heads for the wall display towards the front of Main Engineering and looks at it carefully, focusing on areas that support tactical systems ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
COM: XO: Please drop out of warp.  I need to speak with your Captain.

Host XO Horn says:
COM: Admiral Royce: Aye Ma'am. It will be my pleasure

OPS Chaser says:
:: Stares into the face of her bonded sister, and then looks away ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Glances over her shoulder for the nod from the XO ::

Host XO Horn says:
FCO: Drop out of warp and come along side please

Host Admiral Royce says:
COM: XO: My ship should arrive in a few moments. I'll transport to Transporter Room 1.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Decides to water the little tree in the corner ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Drops out of warp and changes course to come alongside the Atlantis ::

Host XO Horn says:
*CO*: We have another ship approaching. Its Admiral Royce

FCO Horn says:
XO: Gladly Ma'am.

CSO Lane says:
:: Smiles at seeing Admiral Royce again, but goes back to work ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Taps his finger on the photon torpedo launchers, and both systems magnify to reveal a more detailed status report ::

Host XO Horn says:
Comm: Admiral Royce: Understood

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION:  The viewscreen goes dark

TO Blade says:
:: Turns to the CTO ::   CTO: What would you like me to do, Sir?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Clears access to transporter room one, and powers up transporters ::

Host CO Kelson says:
*XO* Ah...what a nice surprise.  Will she be coming aboard?

Host XO Horn says:
*CO*: She will be transporting to Transporter room 1

OPS Chaser says:
:: Daydreams a moment before catching herself and sitting up straighter in her chair ::

CTO Horn says:
TO: I want you to work on getting phaser’s working at above 100% efficiency.

Host CO Kelson says:
*XO* Thank you, Alex.  I'll meet her there.  Kelson out.

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION:  The Atlantis arrives parallel to the Vesuvius

TO Blade says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

Host XO Horn says:
*CO*: Understood

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Walks out of Ready Room onto bridge ::

Host XO Horn says:
All: Look sharp, we have Admiral Royce coming aboard

CEO Davis says:
:: Looks at the systems information to see if the systems can be enhanced at all, figuring it to be important with their proximity to the neutral zone ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: You still have the bridge, Commander.   :: Motions to XO ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sees Sam out of the corner of her eye and smiles ::

Host XO Horn says:
CO: Aye sir

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Enters turbolift after winking to Hope ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Glances at the CO then back at her station ::

Host XO Horn says:
*CEO*: What is the status of the engines?

CSO Lane says:
:: Thinks to herself ::   Self: All he ever does is wink these days.   :: Sighs ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Computer: Transporter Room 1

CEO Davis says:
:: Exits the tactical information and instead looks towards the back of the ship on the wall display at the warp systems, then glances at the impulse systems as
well ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Sets the controls, then picks her PADD back up ::

CEO Davis says:
*XO*: Warp and impulse engines are functioning within normal parameters, sir.  :: Unsure if he recognizes the voice, and attaches a sir ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift and enters transporter room ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION: The Admiral Royce transports over to Transporter Room 1

Host XO Horn says:
CTO/CSO: Do any scans show any other ships in the area?

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Sees Admiral Royce materialize on pad ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Continues to monitor the long range scans noticing that there are no other ships in the area at the moment ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Tries to smooth down her unruly fur ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: Just couldn't stay away, could you Ma'am...   :: Smiles ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Smiles as she materializes on the pad ::   CO: Sam!  Nice to see you again!  How you treatin' my old ship?   :: Giggles ::

Host XO Horn says:
*CEO* Thank you. And by the way, I am not a sir

CSO Lane says:
XO: Nothing on the scans ma'am at the moment.

FCO Horn says:
Self: Let's see, leave Hunter where she is at Beta shift....

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: It's still in one piece...that's a plus.

Host Admiral Royce says:
CO: And you know...I'll be watching you.  Haven't taken her out for spin lately, have you?

CEO Davis says:
*XO*: My apologies.  It's solely meant as a title of respect without respect to gender.   :: Snaps fingers, not wanting to get off on the wrong foot with anyone ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Grins at the CO ::

Host XO Horn says:
OPS: Are you picking up any communications or unusual background noise?

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Steps down from the pad ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: I have too many pilots already.  So what brings you out here today?

OPS Chaser says:
XO : No ma’am

FCO Horn says:
:: Grunts to herself ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Giggles, then gets serious ::   CO: A discussion best done in your Ready Room, Captain.  I'd like your Executive officer to join us as well.

Host XO Horn says:
*CEO*: Understood, but don't let it happen again   :: Smiles when she says it ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: Very good.  After you...   :: Motions to the door ::

Host XO Horn says:
OPS: Thank you. Keep an ear out just in case. This close I don’t want any surprises

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Moves to the corridor and down to the turbolift ::

CEO Davis says:
*XO*: Aye, Engineering out.   :: Taps head gently with left hand, as if to smack that reminder into his head ::

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Aye, Ma'am.

Host XO Horn says:
:: Hearing the FCO grunt ::   FCO: Any problems?

Host CO Kelson says:
*XO* Kelson to Commander Horn.  Please meet the Admiral Royce and myself in my Ready Room.

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Enters the turbolift and stands quietly ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Enters turbolift ::

Host XO Horn says:
*CO* Aye sir

Host CO Kelson says:
Computer: Bridge...

TO Blade says:
:: Picks up a maintenance kit and enters the Turbolift ::   Computer: Computer, show me a schematic of the entire ship.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Waits nervously for the Admiral Royce to appear on the bridge ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift and leads Admiral Royce to Ready Room ::

Host XO Horn says:
FCO: You have the bridge

CEO Davis says:
:: Brings up the torpedo schematics again and continues his analysis ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Follows the CO to his Ready Room, not able to acknowledge the bridge crew ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Just finding a replacement for Ens. Jankara.

Host XO Horn says:
:: Follows the CO and Admiral Royce to the Ready Room ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Aye ma’am.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: enters Ready Room ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Carefully does not look at the Admiral Royce but at her station ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sees the trio of brass head into the ready room wishing she was in there too, just to be close to Sam ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce/XO: Please...take a seat.   :: Sits at the desk that once belonged to Admiral Royce ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Moves to the center chair and calls Hunter to the bridge ::

Host XO Horn says:
Admiral Royce: Good to see you again

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
:: Takes the offered seat ::   XO:  Good to see you too, Alex.  I see the XO position suits you well.    :: Smiles ::

Host XO Horn says:
:: Smiles ::   Admiral Royce: I hope so

CEO Davis says:
:: Unable to find any ways to really tweak the torpedo systems, he closes the information on them and brings up information regarding shields and the structural integrity field ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: Yes...she is fitting in nicely.  She'll have my job soon enough.   :: Smiles ::

TO Blade says:
Computer: Deck Ten.

Host XO Horn says:
CO/Admiral Royce: Not soon enough I hope. There is still a lot I have to learn

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
:: Smiles at the CO's comment, then clears her throat ::   CO/XO:  I've come to give you added information for your mission.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Leans up to hear Admiral Royce ::

Host XO Horn says:
:: Waits patiently ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Walks from the science station to the "big" chair and leans on back slightly ::   FCO: Commander, any idea  just what we're supposed to be looking for out here?

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: The first attack occurred on Dyrian II, at an archeological site.  The site was completely ransacked and left in ruin...

Host XO Horn says:
:: Listens intently ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Puts Dyrian II in PADD on desk ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: There were no injuries, and the archeologists where unable to identify the attackers.

CEO Davis says:
:: Allocates extra power to the structural integrity field systems and sub-systems, hoping it will buy the Vesuvius some time in the next few days and weeks ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: That attack occurred 6 months ago.  Nothing was taken from this first attack.

FCO Horn says:
CSO: Strange looking pointed ears perhaps?   :: Grins ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: Just destruction?  Nothing else?

Host XO Horn says:
Admiral Royce: Any idea what they were looking for?

CSO Lane says:
:: Giggles ::   FCO: No need to look farther than the ship's crew for that.

FCO Horn says:
CSO: We don't know what we're looking for really.  Somebody out here is picking on the colonies.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO: Right...just destruction and nothing else.    XO: We've no idea what they were looking for...at least from this attack

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Laughs ::   CSO: You know what it's like, we are ordered to find the answer to the mystery.  No big deal.   :: Grins wider ::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: I wonder why Starfleet picked us to investigate?

FCO Horn says:
<Hunter> :: Moves to the bridge ::

FCO Horn says:
CSO: Because we're the closest, is my guess.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: Now...the 2nd attack happened on Dyrian III at the colony and at another archeological site.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Inputs Dyrian III in PADD ::

FCO Horn says:
CSO: Of course, in my humble   :: Giggles ::   opinion, I'd say it's because we're the best.

TO Blade says:
:: Arrives on Deck Ten ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: That occurred about 5 months ago...and the attacks on this site have gotten more aggressive since then

CEO Davis says:
:: Divides the allocation among the Structural Integrity Field power trunks, letting the computer itself decide to which areas most of this energy will go; he then looks at the shields ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Taps Sarah's shoulder ::   FCO: Well of course we are, but isn't it strange that we get all the mystery missions lately?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Watches power allocations going to engineering with a raised eyebrow ::

TO Blade says:
:: Goes to the phaser bank ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: More aggressive...does that mean fatalities?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Wonders where her requests are ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: In the first attack, the guards where over-come.  In the last attack, they were killed.

FCO Horn says:
:: Looks up at Hope ::   CSO: We've proven to be able to handle them.  Besides, it's better than patrol duty.

Host XO Horn says:
CO/Admiral Royce: Sounds like they might be getting desperate

FCO Horn says:
<Hunter> :: Sits at Flight and checks her systems ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Shakes head ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods ::   FCO: That's true, I hate patrol duty. It's so-o-o-o-o boring.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: Actually...I think they found what they were looking for

TO Blade says:
:: Takes out his phaser maintenance kit and begins working ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: Only problem is...

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: The archeologists were in the process of deciphering the relics they found

CEO Davis says:
:: Attempts to amplify the shield generators individually, but receives only minimal gains; he continues to try ::

FCO Horn says:
CSO: I'm thinking of proposing to the Captain, that we need to increase practice drills while on patrol.  It will break up the monotony a bit, not to mention help the newer crew.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO:  You'll have to contact a KaRyn Kehari.  She is the lead archeologists at the Dyrian III site

OPS Chaser says:
:: Thinks she is glad she stayed at station ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Inputs the name in the PADD ::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Well back to work. Talk with you soon Sarah.   :: Leans over and whispers ::   Of course if that handsome husband of yours let's you out of his sight.

FCO Horn says:
:: Whispers ::   CSO: Girls night out?   :: Grins ::

TO Blade says:
:: Finishes up ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at Sarah raising an eyebrow ::   FCO: Proposing?

Host CO Kelson says:
*FCO* Kelson to Commander Horn...how long until we reach the colony, Dyrian III?

Host XO Horn says:
Admiral Royce: Will we be the only ship in the area?

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO: It'll take you a little over 26 hours to reach Dyrian III at warp 6 from here

FCO Horn says:
CSO: Of course.

CEO Davis says:
:: Realizes his efforts aren't coming to much and stops ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
XO: Yes...unfortunately, the Vesuvius is the only ship in the area

CSO Lane says:
:: Hears Sam on the comm and heads back to her station ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Moves up behind Hunter at flight to check distance ::

Host CO Kelson says:
*FCO* Belay that request...I have my answer...

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:Are you getting phaser’s back now, Sir?

CEO Davis says:
:: Turns to his right and heads for the turbolift ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO: I'll have the information downloaded from my computer to your science and tactical stations

Host XO Horn says:
Admiral Royce: So we will also be handling the casualties from the last attack also then?

FCO Horn says:
*CO* We haven't tried maximum warp in a while sir......aye sir, Horn out.

CTO Horn says:
*TO*: I am still showing 100%.

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: Why should it be any different this time, right Admiral Royce?   :: Smiles ::

CEO Davis says:
Turbolift: Bridge!   :: Turns and faces the doors with hands folded behind back ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: We are normally the only sheriff in these parts.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
XO: No, you shouldn't have to.  The colony close to the archeological site have doctors where the injured are taken.

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:Didn't you say that’s what you wanted, Sir?

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO: You know it, Sam.  I've got ships on other missions and none are anywhere near here.  I'm sorry.

FCO Horn says:
:: Moves over behind OPS ::

CTO Horn says:
*TO*: No. I said better than 100%.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Cringes ::

FCO Horn says:
OPS: Everything okay Lt.?   :: Lays a hand on her shoulder ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Remembers hearing Sam say Dyrian III and brings up the data on the planet just in case ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: It's what we do, you know that.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gulps and nods at the FCO ::

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:Yes, Sir.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: Yes...that is true, Sam.  Nothing has changed.

CEO Davis says:
:: Exits the lift as the doors open and slowly steps on to the Bridge, realizing it is the first time he's been there for a few years ::

TO Blade says:
:: Climbs back into the Jefferies tube ::

FCO Horn says:
OPS: I know you've been through a lot recently, you aren't the only one, believe me.  You are doing a good job, Chaser.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
:: Taps her combadge ::   COM: Atlantis CSO: Cmdr Qwi, please begin transfer of information to the Vesuvius science and tactical stations

OPS Chaser says:
:: Stares at the FCO incredulously, her eyes unblinking ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: So will you be joining us for dinner at least?  Or do you have some peace settlement to broker?

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Winks at XO and smiles ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Wanders to the aft engineering console, activating it from stand-by status and sitting down ::

Host XO Horn says:
*CTO/CSO*: Please prepare to receive data from the Atlantis

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
<Cmdr Qwi>: COM: Admiral Royce:  Aye ma'am.

TO Blade says:
Self: I can't let the CTO down.

CTO Horn says:
*XO*: Aye, aye.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Opens a file for the download in the main computer ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Smiles at OPS, then looks back at Hunter ::   Hunter: Go ahead and lay in a course for Dyrian III, just in case.

Host XO Horn says:
Admiral Royce: Yes, please stay

CSO Lane says:
:: Sees the file transfer light blink ::   *XO*: Aye ma'am, transmission being received now.

TO Blade says:
:: Adjusts the phase inverters ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Looks away back at her console ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO: I'd love to, Sam, but I have to get moving...other ships in my sector to visit.   :: Looks over to Alex ::   XO: I truly would love to stay, but I can't.   :: Raises from her chair ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Brings up his continuous diagnostic on the computer core, as well as readouts on the warp systems for monitoring ::

Host XO Horn says:
Admiral Royce: Then a rain check maybe?

Host CO Kelson says:
*FCO* Bring us to warp 6...We should arrive at Dyrian III in 26 hours.

TO Blade says:
Self Ahh here's the problem.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO/XO:  A rain check   :: Nods to the XO ::

Host XO Horn says:
:: Smiles ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Stands ::   Admiral Royce: Of course...

TO Blade says:
:: Realigns the beam transmitters ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
CO: I can see my way back.  No need for an escort.

FCO Horn says:
*CO* Aye Sir.  Will Admiral Royce be departing first?

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Alex...will you escort the Admiral Royce to the transporter room?

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral Royce: I insist...

CSO Lane says:
:: Scans the information as it comes in ::   Self: Wow! A lot to go over here.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Thinks it would be wicked fun to replace all the engineer's right handed tools with left handed ones ::

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:Are you getting more power ,Sir?

Host XO Horn says:
CO: My pleasure

CTO Horn says:
CSO: This should be fun.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
:: Taps her badge again ::    COM: Atlantis:  One to beam over...    CO: Next time, Sam.   :: Nods to the CO and XO ::    XO:  Alex...

CTO Horn says:
*TO*: Stand by.

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
ACTION:  Admiral Royce disappears from the CO's Ready Room

CSO Lane says:
:: Smiles at Ryan ::   CTO: Fun?

Host XO Horn says:
CO: Well sounds like we have an old fashioned mystery on our hands

FCO Horn says:
*CO* Captain?

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: You know...I think she's been waiting years to do that...   :: Smiles ::

CTO Horn says:
CSO: That was sarcasm.

FCO Horn says:
::Wonders if Admiral Royce is going with them or not ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Notes transport an relaxes ::

Host XO Horn says:
:: Smiles back and nods her head ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
ACTION: The Atlantis hails the Vesuvius

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Yes we do...*FCO*: Yes Commander?

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks puzzled ::   CTO: I see, another one of your witty remarks.   :: Rolls her eyes ::

FCO Horn says:
*CO* With or without Admiral Royce sir?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Returns hail :: COM: Atlantis: Fair winds and calm seas, Admiral Royce.

CTO Horn says:
CSO: Of course.

CEO Davis says:
:: Eyes all the information at once, or as close to that as he can get ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: After you...   :: Motions to the door ::

Host XO Horn says:
::Exits the Ready Room::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Follows XO ::

Host Admiral Royce-Royce says:
ACTION: The Atlantis moves away from the Vesuvius and disappears

FCO Horn says:
Hunter: Engage, the Admiral Royce has apparently left us.

Host XO Horn says:
:: Enters the bridge ::

Host CO Kelson says:
All: Admiral Royce sends her greetings but also her regrets for not staying longer.

FCO Horn says:
<Hunter> :: Engages at warp 6 ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Watches as the command staff enters ::

Host CO Kelson says:
All: She's a busy lady now.

CEO Davis says:
:: Turns and frowns, not sure who the captain is referring to ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Hears Sam ::   Self: Yeah, just like you did buster.

CTO Horn says:
*TO*: You have done it.

Host XO Horn says:
CTO/CSO: We need a report on the information the was transferred

FCO Horn says:
:: Moves up to relieve Hunter ::

CTO Horn says:
*TO*: We are operating phaser’s at 110%.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sits back in her chair watching the stars pass ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Takes her seat, taking the PADD back into her hands ::

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: I need all the information on Dyrian III.  That is our destination.

FCO Horn says:
<Hunter> :: Exits the bridge ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: Of course Commander, I'll go over it as soon as I can.

Host XO Horn says:
:: Hearing the CTO ::   CTO: Good job

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:That's good, Sir.

CTO Horn says:
*TO*: That’s excellent.

CEO Davis says:
:: Turns again, returning to his console ::

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:The beam emitters were unaligned that was the problem.

CSO Lane says:

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Checks up on crew activities ::

Host CO Kelson says:
OPS: I need all the information you can give me on KaRyn Kehari.  She's the lead archeologist on Dyrian III.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sits up straight ::   CO: Aye Sir-r.

Host XO Horn says:
CO: I just can't keep wondering what they were after

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: I wonder how much information the scientists have on the relics.

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:Anything else you would like me to do ,Sir?

FCO Horn says:
CO: So what are we in for sir?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Accesses LCARS and begins research ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Could be a black market ring.  Orion Syndicate.

Host XO Horn says:
CO: For them to attack like that, it must be something valuable

CTO Horn says:
*TO*: Come back to the bridge.

TO Blade says:
*CTO*:Yes, Sir.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Swings her legs back n forth as she studies ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Brings up data on the ship's overall power distribution in the form of a schematic of the ship, which features its EPS taps and trunks ::

TO Blade says:
:: Crawls out of the Jefferies tube ::

Host XO Horn says:
