Karl> ::Brings the ship to RED ALERT
+Captain+ Captain, this is Lt. Sorenson from the bridge. Two Romulan warbirds just decloaked off our port bow.
::looks up:: What in the ...! Let's get to the bridge.
Evasive and weapons on stand by.
KARL> Weapons are charged and they are targeting the station
:: Raises an eyebrow at the Red Alert klaxon, getting up ::
::logs out and heads to the TL, double time::
KARL> ::Brings weapons online:: Weapons at the ready
::preparing to move the ship::
Intercept course. What do they want with the station?
::See's red alert:: +Annika+ I'm on my way! ::jumps up out of his seat::
::Looks at McFly at after the comm call::
::looks at Sorenson:: They're right in front of us.
::TL:: Bridge now.
Oh, sorry. It’s my first day.
:: Keeps up with Pilot, in the TL ::
:: scanning the test chamber ::
So Doctor Taggert, may we exit and see the results first hand?
::stands up as well; looks at both Matt and Kansas:: It's happening.
:::Fidgits not sure what to do::
::exits onto the Bridge, stopping at Tactical 1 behind Karl:: Karl, Tactical 2 please.
((Back))
::grabs KK:: Stay here. Look after him.
::watches the warbirds’ courses::
:::Gets to her feet::
::looks to Dr. Taggert, interested in her answer to Faldek's question::
Of course. Just understand it may be a little wet. ::smirks::
:: Heads down the ramp from the TL, seeing the Warbirds on the view screen as he releaves Ops guy, silding behind Ops ::
::Grabs Matt's arm:: he knows what is going to happen... listent to him
ACTION> ONE OF THE ROMULANS SHIPS FIRES AT THE STATION. SHIELDS INSTANTLY RISE ON THE STATION
::prepares phasers and photons::
::stops and looks back at Nathan::
::feels the station shake:: Seriously!
KARL> ::Taps console:: Targgeting to ship
::Pauses, looks up from his tricorders, suddenly realizing something is amiss::
This is it. Let them destroy the station.
::nods:: Let’s try to give them some cover.
:: Taps away on his console, scanning the station ::
ACTION> RED ALERT GOES OFF ON THE STATION
::feels station shake, raises eyebrow::
:: reaches for the wall....:: Damn...
::looks back and forth between the two of them:: ...I have to go.
Let the station blow up
+McFly+ Captain, they're firing on the station!
:: looks to Faldek :: We best get back to the ship if possible.
::hurries to the bridge::
+Manticore+ Faldek to Manticore, REPORT!
:::Curses::
+Pilot+ Hail them!
Going to be hard to return to the ship with shields up...
:: Goes to his status display :: Hmm. Is this how it starts
::jogs to the TL:: Bridge
::opens hailing frequencies to the Romulan ship::
The shields are up on the station and most likely Manticore, we're not getting back any time soon.
Orders?
+Faldek+ Commander, romulan ship has attacked the station.
ACTION> MANTICORE FLIES AROUND TO COVER THE STATION AND THE TWO WARBIRDS SPLIT UP AND MOVE AROUND THEM
Nathaniel What is going to happen?
Tevek go to medical, see if they need any help, Tyrel come with Bren and I to operations.
::follows Faldek::
Taggert, we're going. ::exits the testing area to a TL::
KARL> They are Splitting up!
::nods:: Yes, Commander. ::puts medical tricorder back in his medikit, and follows the rest of the group out of the testing area::
::tracks the Romulans’ movements:: We got one of them. Use your discretion to take them out
:: Notices Violet close to him :: Oh, well. Watch...that display, but don't touch.
+Pilot+ I figured, I'm heading to operations.
:: Violet nodded and sat in the chair in front of the display ::
::looks at KK; looks shaken:: I-I don't know. They get into a fight and are overwhelmed and Manticore crashes on a nearby planet.
::arrives on the bridge:: Report!
+Faldek+ Copy that. We'll update as things change.
Aye sir. :: notes the red alert and checks her type 2 sidearm ::
:: Taps away ::
:: Rushes to sickbay, cursing as she goes ::
Any chance of us commandeering a shuttlecraft?
::vacates the captain’s seat:: The two warbirds suddenly decloaked and fired on the station. We’ve managed to split them.
Bloody hell... ::enters the TL with Tyrel and Bren:: Operations.
One following us, one still on the station.
::enters a different TL:: Infirmary.
:;takes her place at Science::
:: notes the Station personel scrambling around...much more lively than when they first arrived ::
KARL> Targerting the ship... fire?
:: tries to stay out of the way of the station crew ::
Pilot! Target their weapons systems but hold fire.
:: Sees the warbird on his display ::
Aye.
KARL> ::Lets EJ Take over::
Harnett! Hail them on all frequencies and keep hailing until someone picks up.
:: mutters under her breath :: This is an act of war....why the hell are they doing this?
::exits the TL at station operations, looks around:: Who's in charge here?
:: Quickly taps his console :: Hailing on all frequencies, Captain.
ACTION> THE SHIP NOT IN MANTICORE'S LINE OF SIGHT FIRES AGAIN
::Looks at Nate::: What should I do?
::scans the area:: It’s just the two of them, that I can see on sensors.
::looks at sensors:: Incoming weapons fire!!!
::exits TL and heads towards the station's medical bay::
I can disable ship some how ::Thinking::
+Bridge+ Is this what starts this Captain?
::heavy sigh:: Alright, fire at their weapons systems.
:: Keeps hailing on all frequencies :: Still no response to hails, sir.
::looks at sensors:: This was out of sight it appears sir.
Commander Mopar> :: Divert all power to shields.....make certain the Romulans do not get a shot through! ::
::fires at the ship we can see targeting their weapons:: Firing!
Commander Mopar> :: The Tellarite Commander leans over his Tactical officer snorting orders ::
Annika! Can you jam all their communications except the frequencies we're trying to call them on?
Commander Mopar> COMM! Any success contacting StarFleet Command!!!???
KARL> Scanning for other ships
Aye sir. ::begins to jam their comm frequencies:: Jamming in progress.
::Looks at Faldek:: The Romulans must know about the weapon. So they are on the side of the Changelings? But why? Or they misunderstand and think the weapon will work on them?
ACTION> MANTICORE FIRES AT ONE OF THE ROMULAN SHIPS
:: To Bren and Faldek :: That would be horrible if they are with the Dominion!
You know as much as I do... This station class doesn't have much for weapons.
Aye! ::evasive manuevers:: Kirk Eplison!

Pilot! Keep firing! Knock out their disrupters!
OK, the only people they should be able to communicate to is us.
::Takes Nathaniel's hand:: We can disable the Manticore
::grins:: With pleasure!
Commander Mopar> Keep trying. :: walks over to Manticore AT :: You guys picked a hell of a time to visit.
::enters the station's medical bay, sees some station medical personnel attending to a wounded patient and heads to assist::
Yes, but by our forces combined we might figure out what their problem is. Have there been any indicators they are on the side of the Dominion? ::brain wanders:: But how did they know about it, unless they have some way of detecting it? Or a mole...? ::Focuses back to reality:: Sorry, this is how I deal with imminent death, I suppose!
We had a feeling this might happen, there is a call in for fleet support.
ACTION> SANCHEZ ACTUALLY PERFORMS SOME FANCY FLYING BUT THEY STILL MANAGE TO HIT MANTICORE A FEW TIMES IN RETALIATION. SPARKS BLOW ON MULTIPLE DECKS
Kahless! ::arms photons:: Loading photons!
::braces herself::
Commander Mopar do you have any experience with tactical situations like this, except for training simulations?
:: Keeps an eye on systems on his console ::
::scans the area::
::targeting their shield and cloak generators:: Targeting their cloak and shields..permission to fire?
::holding on to KK's hand:: I don't know. What if that's crossing a line? Or that could be the entire reason the fight is lost in the first place?
Commander Mopar> :: to Faldek :: This Starbase is an elderly facility ...we are not meant to be threatening to the Romulans. :: looks to Bren and Tyrel :: The First Shot they took knocked out our COMMs... Your Starship right now is the best defense for us right now....aside from our shields.
No. We need to have a dialog with them. Defense attacks only.
::disarms photons::
Do you mind if I give you some advice?
Imminent DeatH? :: looks to Bren concerned ::
::targeting their weapons still and fires phasers::
ACTION> THE WARBIRD THEY'VE BEEN ATTACKING ERUPTS IN EXPLOSIONS ON THEIR WEAPONS PORTS.
Weapons are down on the warbird!
Mopar> If I had weapons I'd use them.....Which I don't but I 'm listening
:::holds her head:: All this time crap is driving me crazy
:: A wave of emotion pours over him :: Erh
ACTION> THE SECOND WARBIRD FLIES AROUND AND MEETS MANTICORE FROM BEHIND. IT'S PLASMA TORPEDO PORT GLOWING BUT IT DOESN'T FIRE
Transfer all nonessential personnel to cargo areas and transfer power from life support and the systems where the crew is not.
Warbird on our six! ::targets aft::
Station Tactical officer> Manticore disabled Warbird weapons!
Tyrel see if you can help them muster some extra power.
::Raised an eyebrow :: Captain, the Romulans are responding to our hails...
Again, target weapon systems!
::moves on to assist at another biobed in the station's medical bay::
::hears Harnett:: Wait!
::locking onto weapons systems::
on screen!
::stops, looking at viewscreen::
KARL> :::Scans around them for other ships and weapons::
:: Nods, putting the romulans on screen :: Aye, on screen.
Mopar> All hands are doing just that...:: the Tellarite Commander has to Look Up to Faldek :: I need your engineer to fix my COMMs!!! and I need you to shoot Rommies incase they board the station!
ACTION> A ROMULAN COMMANDER APPEARS ON SCREEN
::looks up at the Romulan::
::looks at Tyrel:: Well you heard him.
Yes sir!
Bren, you've been doing combat training with Kansas, yes?
::looks onto the romulan commander:: (thinking to himself) I guess you would answer after losing your weapons instead of before.
::looks at Mopar:: Weapons locker?
Federation starship! I am giving you one chance to stand down and disembark from this station.
More her exercise programs, but yep at least twice a week
Mopar> Deck three....and have your weapon ready. They probably will board us if Manticore took their weapons offline.
Hand to hand, or weapons too?
Both, as well as a category she calls 'personal resources'
(w) The audacity...
Mopar> :: gestures to an access panel :: More in the engineering/ Cargo areas.
::of course::
I can't do that. We've already disabled one of your ships, we can do it again. I demand you stand down and explain yourself.
Ok we're going to deck three. ::turns on his heel and gets back in the same TL, with Bren in tow::
KARL> strange
:: Listens to the Romulan, scanning from Ops ::
:: snorts and returns to his bridge crew ::
::scans the area::
( Mopar snorts...Callista sneezes hehe)
Reinforcements are on the way. Our quarell is not with you. Leave this sector now and you will not be destroyed.
((I know I spelled that wrong. Leave me alone))
((Something is spelled wromng?))
::eyes the Romulan with his threat::
Negative, commander! Disengage or we will destroy you!
::looks at Karl:: Long range sensors please.
::exits the TL on deck three, looking for the weapons locker::
::readies his finger to fire at the moment's notice::
:: proceeds to Deck three and notes engineering crew making repairs noting a force shield preventing space from venting air out...::
KARL> I've been scanning, not picking anything up
::continuing to assist station medical personnel in treating wounded::
::nods::
::finds the weapons locker and loads up, phaser rifle with extra power cells and some photon and stun grenades. Tosses Bren a rifle and couple extra power cells::
ACTION> THE ROMULAN SHIP FIRES A BARRAGE OF WEAPONS AT MANTICORE DIRECTLY TARGETTING THEIR WEAPONS SYSTEMS. THE OTHER ROMULAN SHIP WHICH HAD ITS FRONT WEAPONS DISABLED HAS NOW REPOSITIONED ITSELF AND FIRES ITS AFT WEAPONS AT MANTICORE WHICH IS ALSO DIRECTED AT MANTICORES WEAPONS SYSTEMS. THE ATTACK ROCKS THE SHIP HARD AND MOST EVERYONE FLIES TO THE LEFT
::flies to the left:: Sh*ttttt!
Oof! :: flies to port, along with Violet ::
::falls over to the left as well:: Ahh
:::Falls out of her seat and onto the floor::
::holds the rifle, finding it oddly comfortable after the training time, although he's only held ones in the holodeck in recent memory::
::falls to the floor::
:: consults the Engineers on duty and verifies the obvious...the entire main communications array has been destroyed ::
::climbs to his feet:: Report!
::to knee the back up:: That's it.
:: Gets caught against the pedestal of his console, gripping the right edge ::
+ Faldek + Tyrel to Faldek ....
::checking weapons systems::
Ok back to operations, that's where they would most likely board. ::heads back into the TL, nearly dragging Bren, but only metaphorically::
::hoists herself back up and back to her station::
+Tyrel+ Go.
We have tricorders, couldn't we use them to communicate? These ships should all be close enough...
:::Stands up, and Help Nate up:: We need to get you some place more secure
::Slides back into his chair, tapping away, checking systems ::
::looks at McFly:: Weapons are down!
A tricorder can be used to jerry rig a communicator for an emergency beacon but only short range.
+ Faldek + Sir the entire Communications deck has been destroyed. Must of done it when the shields were not up. There is nothing I can do here....
:: Gets up and helps Violet :: You okay?
ACTION> THE FULLY FUNCTIONAL ROMULAN SHIP TURNS BACK TO THE STATION
:: Nods :: Yeah, yeah.
Oof.
::slams his hand on the console::
:: mutters :: I hope Manticore messaged for help...
+Tyrel+ Ok then try and keep the shields up. However be ready to hit the nearest escape pod...
::hit the chair to his left and dislocated his shoulder, and is knocked out::
+ Faldek + Understood.
:: Brings her over :: We have some damage. :: Points ::
:: looks at Engineers :: Do you have a Runabout onboard???
::looks over at Sanchez:: Sanchez, you okay??
::exits into operations:: Mopar, your communications array is completely destroyed. ::takes up a defensive stance just in case of boarding::
You're weapons are gone. You are no longer a threat to us. Leave now or be destroyed with the station.
We are getting reports of injuries all over the ship.
Alright! Wait! WAIT!
Go on then Doctor
What is this about?! Your actions don't make sense. Why are you attacking the station?
::knocked out::
:: Exits the mess hall ::
Mopar> Dammit Mantircore has been disabled! ( Station OPS officer) Sir....Engineers report Communications unable to be restored...Deck 4 is gone sir.
+sickbay+ One injured on bridge, not the Captain. Send a team.
::walks over to a console brings up ship status::
I wonder how long it would take to reconfigure the Odomelter to a Romulan melter...
::looks at McFly across the screen as if he's stupid:: This station is a threat to the Romulan Empire. And it's a threat to the Federation as well. I suppose the Federation has been too slow to realize.
::grabs his tricorder and moves to Sanchez::
:: Eyes glued to his console as he read through damage reports, waiting for the Romulan to finish ::
I'm fine. It's not like they're here for me.
:::Looks back at Nate:: Weapons are down.. we are disabled
::scans Sanchez:: Slow breathing and dislocated shoulder...whew.. ::looking up at the viewscreen::
As much as I like the idea, it's on the inside of the station and I'm not sure this starbase even has the power to run it at this juncture.
I want to help. What can I do?
::moves on to treat another wounded officer::
Alright the tell us! Why are you attacking the station?
I don't even know what I can do
Ooh, what if these Romulans are actually Changelings?
::is quite pissed off, looks at Harnett:: I hope engineering is working double time...
::might have an idea, but 2 and 2 together:: Hmm, I wonder…
::purses his lips but indulges the Federation Captain:: ...This station has been taken over by Changelings and we're here to destroy it before the Dominon has a chance to gain access to our space.
::nope… she was wrong::
Wait, what?! How could you possibly know that?
Sickbay Team> ::comes to retrieve Sanchez and takes him to Sickbay::
:: walks back to the OPS :: Commander your Communication equipment has been vaporized...repairs are not possible. I can assist you in Main Engineering to help you with your shields...
::stands up and moves to the ramp standing off to the left of McFly in disbelief of the Romulan::
Mopar, how many other classified experimental weapons are on this facility?
Our intel is sound, Captain. And I'm not here to debate it. Now stand aside or be destroyed with your enemy.
Mopar> Get on it. Before they kill us all.
Wait-wait!
::is getting visibly frustrated::
::looking towards the Romulan commander on the viewscreen::
Look, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying they couldn't have taken over everyone. And I can't let you murder dozens of innocent people.
Mopar> :: turns to Faldek :: This station's Laboratories were only being used by Dr. Taggert's teams. I don't have a weapon that can take on a Romulan Warbird...
It's the price of war, Captain. I know you understand.
Listen Manticore can't fight for us... we can't fight for us.
Mopar> Speaking of..... + Dr. Taggert + Dr. Taggert. Report to OPS immediately!
It's time you gave the order to abandon the station and set the self destruct.
:::Scans the station to see if their shields are up:: I am going to try and collect our people from the station
::thinks quickly:: What if...! What if, we investigated the station? Alright. Give us... give us two days. We will go on a strict manhunt for how many ever changelings are on board and destroy them. But the station remains in tact. No one has to die unnecessarily.
( must jet cya next week )
Please. Two days.
We need to get to the transporter room
::quickly moves back to Tactical::
::Helps Nate to his feet:: can you move?
::Looks at Faldek as he says that, but doesn't react much more than a slightly sad not-humored-smirk-but-I-dont-know-what-else-to-call-it::
::looks to someone off screen; is muted but can be seen speaking; he then looks back to the screen; he waits a beat:: ...You have ONE day. And if by that time you cannot offer us proof that all the changelings have been killed, then we destroy the station.
(w) Lovely...
::huffs:: ...Alright, one day.
(W) wow, one whole day.

Nothing from me, nice work everyone
TBS will be immediate just as the comm ends. None of your characters are getting any sleep that's for sure.
Questions or comments?
Lol
Oh man, I already know what I wanna say next week, I have to make a note or something.
I will need raktajinos
Do not trust Romulans...
We’re still good for Labo(u)r Day?
I was just about to say. So next week is Labor Day. You guys want to sim or take the week off?
I can sim
I’m ok
I will intend to be there, but I am ADHDAF and when my routine gets disrupted, like on a day off holiday, it screws me up
I'm good to go
I'll be off work lol
I'll be here
Alright so Bren, keep your Discord alerts on so I can ping you.
Still waiting for BG3 to come out for PS5, but I’ll still be here lol
If only I could mute it for everything else but your pings
That's why PC is master race.
I've been contemplating getting BG3
Alright, so we're on for next week.
set your alarm on your phone
Phone alarm works too.
set your alarm on your phoneYou know what, I think that would work, because I can set it right this second. Since the sim has already passed, itll go off next week
It's very good
or give me your phone number I will text you lol
Awesome!
I have a phone alarm
Yes, everyone give Kansas your phone number.
I have Kansas' number she never texts me anymore
That's very rude of you, KK.
you don't text me either
I do but I thought you were mad at me
That's rude of you too Pilot.
Lol
LOL McFly!
I do enjoy my EJ Text

:: listens to Dr. Taggert ::
::at Science II On the bridge::
:: In the mess hall, which is really a mess now ::
So Doctor Taggert. How do you expect to test this, do you have a changeling?
::sighs after receiving the comm from KK; looks up at the science station where Annika is:: Lt Sorenson, you're ranking officer. You have the bridge.
:: Is still with Pilot, going through the corrupted data ::

::studying the weapon that Dr. Taggert is showing them, scanning it with his medical tricorder::
::searching still, tappity tap tap::
:::Scowls at Gila::
:: Checking the transporter systems as to not lose the away team ::
No, unfortunately we haven't been able to test it on the real thing thus far. However, our bioengineering department has made developed a liquid compound that they feel aproximates that of a Changeling using scans of Odo from Deep Space Nine.
@ ::tries to seem disinterested, scans everything he can WITH everything he can::

I'm not a scientist. I'll just stand here and look dashingly handsome.

Of course. ::presses some buttons on a panel and transports in a container of the liquid compound on a pedestal across from the weapon.

So Nate, what can I get you to eat
::nods:: Thank you, Doctor. ::walks over towards the liquid compound and begins scanning it with medical tricorder::
:: Taps away, still looking for anything relevant ::
::Perks up spotting McFly, stands up quickly::
:: Listening ::
This weapon...will only affect Changlings?

Pardon me.... let me get .....your.... McFly

((Switching to pc brb))

Well... ::sighs:: I know it will affect this compound. We haven't tested it on organic beings... yet. But I have some theories.
I am really trying to not be crazy
This is more of a device to mount on a ship...or do you plan on shrinking it to a hand held device?

I just wanted to sit and eat with Nate and you know... get to know him but the Doctor won't give us a moment of peace
::steps over to Dr. Tevek::
I'm sure she just wants to monitor him. He did just get out of sickbay.
(w) If this works are you going to have a moral issue?
Interesting... ::looking over the data::
(w)::to Faldek:: I believe these circumstances are quite different, Commander. And I will follow my orders on this mission, sir.
She can Monitor from another table

(w) Black ops puts all of us into situations that can be morally questionable. However it's all done for the greater good.

::makes note of the info he is seeing even though it is damaged to high hell::
The weapon is most effective because the frequency is tuned to that of the changeling physiology. But considering this machine blasts out high intensity sound waves, I don't expect it to feel good when it hits a human body.
((I was hoping someone would quote from Hot Fuzz))
(w) Yes, sir. It is a very different role from working in a hospital on Vulcan. But I am beginning to understand it better.

Interesting Doctor. Is this room sealed in the EM spectrum to isolate your device from signal interference ?
She's like a prime nemesis, but should not be. She's clearly gone through a lot to gestate this amount of hate towards you.I'm guessing you were the only male in the sector. 1

Commander Bren...do you have anything on your device?
::Looks at Callista and blinks a few times, thinking:: Nothing unexpected
I can so make baked Ziti, it is my specialty ::Perks up:: and my Favorite
You are kind to a fault. I can see that in how you treat Violet.

Alright, activating the device.

Temporal mechanics states he would still live. A jump in time is a jump in the timelines. Nathaniel had to jump from a different one.
Yes, that's right, but still not very comforting.

Yes. I will pull up the relevant data on their experiences from the Starfleet database. ::taps on PADD::
We just want to get in for diagnostic date.
::Dashes over and pulls Erich away from Nate:: Stay away from him
Matt we've known each other since we were both ensigns. I know you well enough to know when you've hit the edge.
Why would I do that Commander?
He is None of your Business
One more outburst like that Kansas and I will have everyone removed.\
::Is taken aback by Kansas behavior and watching her drag away Erich::
::hopes all is well down in the Sickbay::
Yeah, I suppose you're right. I can't believe we've been around each other that long.
::crosses his leg over the other and continues to review security things from the chair::
:::raises eyebrow at Kansas' behavior, watches the situation warily while still tapping on his PADD::
:: Is just about done with his work, remaining quiet as he concentrates ::
I believe Nathaniel is the one who can choose who can speak with him.
No, you should leave
Initial scans indicate this is not a normal set of implants.
::takes a deep breath and a minute to compose himself:: ...Alright. I think we should continue with the mission as is, at least right now. We know the Romulans are coming so we can head them off diplomatically first. I'll try to see if I can get them to calm down first and give us time to see why they're attacking... Of course assuming they're not just being jerks.
Why? You have never liked my and there have been many times I should have reported your behavior but after readings your thoughts and helping you through your memory recovery I decided you have been through enough.
:: glaces over ::
I'll have you lead the away mission and check out this weapon. I know Erich was set to look at it but I don't think I want him or Kansas anywhere near that station. Find someone to replace him.
Helping me... More like messing with my mind. you don't think I did the math and figured out how all of this could have happened
::to Dr. Orrak:: Indeed, based on Mr...the patient's...description of the medical purpose of the implants and the fact that he was never a part of the collective, I do wonder if previous experiences accessing Borg implants will be of limited usefulness here. But it is still the best information we have.
Aye.
:: Points out a waveform to Violet :: There's the carrier frequency.
The math is pretty simple and life is not.
::starts typing on the laptop; sets up an encrypted comm:: Yeah I don't think I'm going to tell Jaffee the situation but we'll need backup. ::thinks a couple of seconds:: I'm going to request fleet assistance. Maybe we can get some backup before the Romulans do any real damage.
(w) you don't think that mind bending is how that happened
Well, our scans seem to indicate they are unchanged in their function.
Sounds reasonable, I'll bet she's going to want to know why you think we need back-up.
So you are blaming me for this, for something I've not done yet? So what is your proof?
::thought to himself:: Thank goodness this is a comfy chair.
::Takes his regulated break at his console, sipping a fizzy water and eating a dark chocolate brownie, reading some new papers from major science academies. Hums contentedly to himself::
Yeah... ::says through a sigh:: Maybe she'll trust me? ::snickers::
(w) he is the proof... I would never step out on Matt
That is not proof.
never willfully

::nods, and continues reviewing scan data on the implants::
Well I was stationed on Romulus, they will try to take advantage of any situation, and they have had an increased presence since the Klingons have been fighting the Cardassians.
And you think I'd just ditch my feelings for Gila for you? You sure think highly of yourself.
Hopefully that means they're ranks are thin. And maybe this is just paranoia on their part. That station has been there for decades now.
:: Does not envy Erich's situation, an for her part she remained unsure of her feelings ::
Yes I do. your fling is what a minute long? Don't think I have forgotten your lingering looks
::can't quite hear the argument but can see them going at it; looks over at Gila:: I didn't mean to cause all this.
::opens a channel on the laptop and waits for Jaffee to show on screen:
::focuses intently on the data on his PADD, using his best concentration techniques to tune out the quite emotional conversation around him::
((Turns out due to the fighting Nathaniel 'caused' Manticore doesn't do anything to help, the starbase goes kersplewy anyway, and everyone lives happily ever after)) 1
This is nothing I would have expected working with Central Command.
you have no right to be here... Go GoGoGOO
((Damnit Bren, spoiler alerts next time!)) 1

::tappity on his console::
((One of these days I'm just going to make that damn simple and we'll be done in like two days))
:: Finishes his work, then double checks everything ::
(ha ha)
::stands by silently::
Actually, both of you get out.
No Doctor, this is a secuirty matter 2
::on screen:: Captain. What have you learned?
you will have to force me out of this room and I know you can't take me
((::off-screen, whispering to Annika:: I put 5 credits on the doctor winning this one))
I am going to confine you to quarters for medical reasons pending discharge.
::raises eyebrow about the "security matter"::
you will have to force me out of this room and I know you can't take me((She's the one with all the chemicals tho imjs))
Ler-learned? ::looks at Faldek then back to the screen:: I-- Oh, OOH, the weapon, right. Nothing yet, we kind of ran into a bit of an issue.
I am not leaving
+McFly+ Captain, you need to get your Commander out of here now. 2
::stands up from the CC to stretch before his legs fall asleep::((Sorry, your Comm was not received as Captain McFly is currently in DND ))
::looks up hearing the comm, mouths "You want me to take care of it?"::
Kansas, we need to leave and you need to stuff your poor attitude.
I can't leave, you on the other hand... by all means LEAVE
::quickly tries to cover his com badge; nods vigorously to Faldek::
::leaves the RR, and heads to the TL:: Pilot, security in sickbay still?
You can leave Kansas and don't lie to any of us again.
::looks at Faldek:: No.
::gets off the bed and hobbles over to Kansas and Erich:: Stop! Now!
Ok send a couple, I'm going to handle a situation.
::nods, tapping on the chair:: +Security+ Security to Sickbay on the double.
::sees Nathaniel get off the biobed, and walks over towards him:: Mr....Nathaniel, it is not advisable for you to be off the biobed in your current state.
Look, I'm sorry I caused all this. I'm just trying to prevent the quadrant from imploding but, I guess I can't even prevent the ship from doing so.
:::Puts her arm under Nate's and holds him up.. touching him really for the first time:: It's OK
Is everything alright?

We will be back. Your mother is a handful and then some.
+Bridge+ On the way!
+Bridge+ On the way!
::the TL zooms and the doors woosh open, exits and goes across the hallway entering sickbay::
Yeah, it's nothing to worry about, honest.
::enters Sickbay behind the commander::
Dr. Orrak.
:::Keeps hold of him::: I've got you... lets get you back into bed
::wonders who the guy was, and if he’s still alive in the sickbay::
::enters and stands there awaiting Faldek's Orders::
::notices security enter sickbay; stands by KK and Nate in case she needs assistance getting him back to biobed::
::going over her data:: I guess he’ll be ok. :
Our patient needs to rest and the Commander there needs to go.
I am fine
:: motions to Violet :: Come with me Violet.
Kansas, the Doctor has requested you leave sickbay.
::looks over to Kansas:: I'm sorry this was all sprung on you out of the blue. I never planned for this information to get out in the first place. But the little bit I do know, ::looks over at Erich:: He saved your life in the detention facility. I don't know how, according to dad, that's the only thing you said when he brought you home. Erich saved us.
::gives a small nod in agreement with Dr. Orrak's assessment of the situation::
I know this is a lot to take in but please, don't hate him... He is my father too.
Is the universal translator not working?
Look, we have some possible... intel, that Starbase 23 may be under threat of a Romulan attack. We don't know when exactly but soon.
That's a big accusation. What kind of intel is this?
(w) I can't help it
(( Sound echoes "He is my father too....father too.... too ))
"Are you alright?"
::Help Nate back to his bed::
Uh, it's... it's... it's this refugee we picked up along the way. Someone with intimate knowledge and they're pretty adamant that an attack will happen.
I will send you to your quarters and lock you in there until this mission is over.
I see. You're certain you trust this source?
::is back on the biobed::
::to KK, after Nate is back on biobed:: Thank you, Commander. ::checks Nate's biobed readings::
It will be OK
(w to Tevek) I am tempted to get out Klingon opera.
::sighs:: I'm not entirely certain, but I trust it enough to be cautious. I'm requesting fleet back up as a precaution.
((Don't forget to invite me!
))
The Chief Medical Officer has requested it, this is her jurisdiction.
Captain, any ships are at least three days away from your position.
:: Goes to the replicator and creates a drink ::
Three days? We're really the only ones out here?
I can't leave
::raises eyebrow at the Klingon opera comment; says nothing and administers an additional painkiller to Nate due to the effects of his stress and exertion over the past few minutes::
Commander Faldek, let's see if she can calm herself down, but please remain.
:: Triple checks his work ::
We have a lot to deal with, with the Dominion threat and tightening Earth security.
::standing there listening to their Chief::
It's your sickbay.
::Begins reading a true crime anthology, each case involving some kind of mechanical sabotage. ((This is what a cinemaphile might call forshadowing))::
::thinks for a minute:: Alright, send what you can. If the Romulans do show up, we'll try to stall them for as long as possible.
::Looks at the security officers:: They aren't cleared for this
Hmm, I know that didn't sound like an order. 1
I may need a sample from Kansas anyhow as the mother.
They're staying.
Hmm, I know that didn't sound like an order.((It was funny only because I thought it too))
::looks at KK:: We were here earlier. Lt Pilot had us stow your weapon..
Of course not. It's a strong...ly... worded request. ...Said politely.
:::Hates Faldek seeing her rattled::
Sure... Alright, Captain. I'll send out what I can. I expect a full report on the situation once this is finished.
Understood. I would just rather be safe than sorry.
Jaffee out.
::checks biobed readouts; satisfied that Nate's condition has returned to what it was prior to his walking, returns to his reserach re: accessing the Borg implants::
::wonders what is going on in the sickbay, tempted to call down there::
Electrolytes are low.

A fight will break out before that.
Oh my
That's security's job.
Which one?
You know, you saw those chambers only once and it was never mentioned again.
Uh...
You, E.J.
Do borg dream of assimilated sheep...? 1
I've got it under control.
I ain't going down to that Sickbay with those two. I stayed my happy behind on the bridge. 2
No we saw them again in Voyager. Not as clearly as that first TNG borg episode but they were there.
Lol
Chambers so they can assimilate kids...? Or to update the stuff as they grow...?
I'm not certain how that works
Huh. Wouldn't that imply a breeding or eugenics program, all things considered?
io
I can't imagine individual borg walking around being like "Dat ass will be assimilated" and falling in love 3
No breeding, it's for when assimilating babies, infants, young children. They maturate them till they're like in early adulthood.

::to SO:: Stow the rifle in the armory for now.
::cuts him off:: The truth! Now!
::nods and exits to the armory::
+Tyrel+ I concur, when you download it from the tricorder place it on a partitioned storage for analysis.

::walks over to Tevek:: Doctor, a word please.
:: Nods as he looks up from the tricorder :: That is logical... Borg technology is quite unpredictable.
Mr. Harnett...let me know when you are satsified we have what we need...Do you need a larger device to accomidate the data?
::to Pilot:: Of course, Lieutenant.
::to Tevek:: Was "Nathaniel" scanned for Borg weaponry, that way I can uncrowd the Sickbay, there is a lot going on. Y'know?
:: Taps the tricorder, looking up to Tyrell :: I do not require any additional storage, the download is complete, Lieutenant.
:: Goes to Nathaniel ::
:: Folds the tricorder shut ::
:: Goes to her office to see if she still has an office ::
::downloading what data she could from the runabout’s databases::
I told you Manticore crashed onto a planet and they were resuced three days later. But before they were they were relentlessly attacked by Jem'Hadar. Many died but some were captured. Mo--Kansas, protected Erich while he was trying to get weapons up or comms or something like that. But at some point during the attacked she was disabled and both of them were captured along with a few others.
:In the corner, hyperventlating::
::to Pilot:: I did not detect any weaponry in the scans that I performed.
::shakes his head:: That doesn't sound like her, she's not getting captured.
Annika....we can take this to engineering or do you think you department might have a better handle on borg data analysis?
::nods:: Thank you Doctor.
Look, I wasn't there, all I know is the storied you told me. She didn't talk about it much... actually at all.
:: walks towards her replicator :: Aldebaron whiskey, two glasses.

Feel free to interject your opinion Mr. Harnett.

Sir, yes sir! ::nodding and exits::
:: Takes a glass in each hand, walks over to Kansas, extends a glass to her :: Drink.

But it could also work in engineering too.
Fine. What happened next.

It's high proof.

:: Looks at Tyrell :: An engineering lab, with a separate LCARS partition might be best.
::Whispers::: I wouldn't do that
::moves and stands near McFly then folds his arms::
I agree with that
No matter the future your son is here now.
I don't know much else. They were gone for two years. You told me Starfleet considered them dead but at some point you picked up some leads. Eventually you found them and got her back... with me.
:: Drinks her whiskey :: Mmm.
It’d be much more secure in an engineering lab I reckon
Agreed.
::Sniffles:: I wouldn't
::looks at the data analysis for the quantum resonance scan briefly, before returning to looking at the standard biobed readouts::
Oh Absolutely we are going to partition any data from our mainframe. I think Engineering might be a better place to do that. The Engineering Laboratory should work. Annika I'd like you to be there when we open this thing.
Her, what happened to Erich?
This surely complicates...life.
::looks up at Erich then looks away:: He didn't make it. I don't know how, she refused to talk about it.

:: inserts the red concoction in the bottom, walks over and hypos Kansas in the neck ::
:::Takes a deep long breath::
+ Faldek+ We will be setting that up sir. Believe me I don't want to lose a ship to malevolent borg coding. With respect to that sir...has our guest been deemed not a threat?
I understand what you're saying but here, we're still Starfleet and we have ideals to uphold. I'm not saying I don't believe you but there has to be another way than for thousands of innocent people to die.
:: not certain if Faldek is going to answer that ::
+Tyrel+ I know about as much of what's going in sickbay as you do at this point. Though I'm sure they have it under control since I haven't heard a call for any additional security.

I'm surprised it's taken this long for anyone to ask about them. In my time, we have little in the way of medical supplies so when the USS Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant, they brought along borg tech with them. Seven of Nine and Voyager's Doctor did some fancy programing of nano probes and used them to do all kinds of things from healing wounds to replacing lost limbs. Honestly it's the only thing holding me together right now. ::snickers::

+Harnett+ I see you are currently working on the shuttle of our guest. Who is in charge down there?
::nods:: Our security officers will be relieved to hear that. ::applies hypospray with pain reliever/sedative:: I will review my scans and see how we can work with your...Borg-inspired treatments...to get you in the best possible medical condition we can.

+Harnett+ Thank you Mr Harnett. ::closes the comm and starts a new one:: +Tyrel+ Lieutenant Tyrel come in please.
The temporal prime directive applies. We need to contact the Department of Temporal Investigations and seek their assistance.

+Tyrel+ Lt. I have a ask of you. There may be some logs that can help shed some light on the current situation. I would like to have you prioritize the finding of them, if they do exist.
This is Violet Nathaniel.

:: brielfy shakes her head::
::slightly laughs at hearing Faldek; walks over and collapses in the chair behind the desk:: Yeah I suppose so. But what are they going to say, do what we were going to do as if we never learned this information? Send another ship that just puts events in motion again? ::shrugs::
+ EJ+ This data cannot be exported LIeutenant. We will inform you when it is ready for viewing here in the Engineering Labratory.
:: Is close to finishing his work on the partition ::
They're going to find out. However sometimes it is best to act then seek forgiveness...
+Tyrel+ Thank you. I just wanted to know if it exists. Bridge out.
If my knowledge of temporal mechanics is correct. Say we destroy this base and prevent your future, you are still with us.
( regrettably I must go folks I will cya next week )
((Have a good one Tyrel))

I think you should. I don't pretend to understand your Bajoran brain...but I know it seems to get congested enough as is...let alone when something odd happens on the ship.
Like I said, I came from roughly fifty years in the future. In my time, the Dominion have taken over the Alpha Quadrant. The Federation was destroyed, Starfleet basically doesn't exists. Humans have scattered across the quadrant. Romulans and Klingons haven't fared much better. Cardassians and Breen allied with the Dominion but once the larger powers were decimated the Dominion turned on them. Breen are extict, the Cardassians... nearly so. 1

::sighs:: I wasn't there. But you told me the story... many times. Starbase 23 is going to be attacked by the Romulans. You never knew why. But manticore was the only line of defense. Between Manticore and the station, you were able to hold off the attack but took a hard beating until finally a small Jem'Hadar fleet warped in.
:::hand on head:: how
+Faldek+ Commander, the interior of the shuttle... it appears to have been assimilated, sir.
Does this happen soon, this attack?
+ Faldek + Tyrel here ....Borg enhancements are on this ship sir.
::glances over at KK, noting her hand on her head::
+Faldek+. We’ve analyzed the exterior of the ship and picked up quite a lot of polaron weapons fire and trace amounts of Chroniton particles, which by my calculations, seem to have originated pretty recently. We’re looking over the interior of the ship, and it seems to look like it’s intermixed with Borg technology, if I’m not mistaken as well as a holographic control interface?
::looks at Nathaniel::
:::Takes a seat back on the Bio-bed::

Yes Sanchez, the runabout most likely came from the future.
If this came from another time, would plug-ins even be required?
::hears all the questions:: Erich's right, when does this happen, we can prevent this now that you're telling us right?
It is possible..
I don't know when it happens. I just know it does.
I mean....somwhere where a Borg would plug into. Annika...would Chronitron particles...be a byproduct of a Cloaking device as well...I mean...just covering the angles here.. :: looks at the Colorado's flight Controls......::
I also know the only way to prevent my time from happening is to let the station be destroyed. 1
So we destroy the station ourselves 1
Possible, yes.
Wait-wait-wait-wait... you want us to destroy an entire space station? Do you know how many people are on there?
:: Walks to the front of the cockpit, scanning the main flight controls ::

::KK:: We can't just blow up a station and not know how many people are on it.

Especially when... oh wait, no spoilers.
Did he ever say his age? Maybe it's 10 years down the road, KK's changed her mind.... lol
Do I get assimilated?!
I hope so. Cause Erich is gonna have to get out of there.
no I didn't get an answer
He's like in his late 40s is my description. I didn't see the question about his age earlier.Harnett, something really awful happens to you but I can't say what yet. 1
Well..... awesome 2
Questions or comments?
Vulcan smoothies.
?
Death by chocolate 1
Oh god...
am I already knocked up?
You know I can't reveal things after the sim has ended.
LOL
Lol
Of course not!
Ha!
Although if you are, that means you've been cheating on me with Erich. 1
^^^
Oh my!
I don't know EJ, McFly and KK are like bunnies
Aww Bunnies.. Bugs Bunny, what's up doc?
Alright then, if nothing else, I remind you I am become death, destroyer of worlds... DISMISSED!!! 1
Goodnight and good week all yall
Night! can't wait for next week. 2

ACTION> McFLY AND FALDEK ARE IN THE BREIFING ROOM WITH BREN AND ERICH GOING OVER THE UPCOMING MISSION AND THEIR ROLE IN CHECKING OUT THIS NEW WEAPON
((::sitting in the CC::))
::scanning the area::
((jokes of course))
:::Standing in front of the CC::
::is apparently in the briefing room, sitting to the right of McFly::
:: running diagnostic A through D on warp cores ::
::at TAC2, sipping his raktajino::
What do we already know of this weapon?
::In sickbay, looking over the crew roster to see who needs to schedule medical checkups soon::
So, gentlemen, you know as much as I do now. This weapon could be the deciding factor in this conflict, if it actually works. And that's where you come in.
::stares aimlessly::
:: Looking over some reports ::
:: Is sitting a Ops, doing Ops things ::
Operations in command of the ship. Hopefully, we are operating at maximum efficiency. ::klingonic chuckle::
::hands over some padds:: Early specs suggest it's using sound waves to disrupt the Changeling, uh... changing matrix. ::shrugs; looks over at Faldek:: They have a matrix right? It's like a thing that makes them change?
:: observes everything in the green, rerturns to her station at the " Pool Table "
::nothing she hasn’t already seen before::
Well I assume it's something like that. Even we technically have a matrix of some sort. I think.
I must admit, sentient biology is one of my weaker fields -- my biology specialization is veterinary medicine you might recall -- but... I'm not sure this... it's.... snorts at himself This sounds like something you'd want to involve one of our physicians for, except I'm not sure their ethics would allow it.
Well one of the doctors ethics might allow it.
::raises eyebrow:: Yeah you're probably right.
Oh? Well, that would be quite conven--- ::realizes one of them probably didn't exactly come up through Starfleet Medical:: --- Ohhhhh.
I'm honestly not holding my breath for this thing. I don't know, sound waves seem weird. I would think we could just shoot them right? Shooting usually works.
::making notes on PADD about which crewmembers need reminders to schedule their physicals::
I have not had much interaction with changelings except for Odo. You really need to see his Cardassian neck trick.
Engineering Ensign> Lieutenant, I just received a replicator service request that may intrest you.....:: hands PADD to Callista ::
It makes some sense to me. Most materials have a resonant frequency. Playing it at the right intensity tends to do very bad things. It just seems so weird to think of a complex organism having one resonnant frequancy
Could it shatter them maybe?
I genuinely have no clue, but my gut is no. I suspect it would, uhm, liquify them? Return them to their natural state.
:: reads PADD and chuckles ::
:::Paces:::
::looks at KK:: You're going to wear the deck plating out.
I've been working on it for sometime now, eh?
All will be fine, I am surprised you're not in the meeting with them.
:::Hands on hips:: you and me both
So when you say test it, do we have one to test it on?
Thank you Ensign, I will get on ...:: walks over to Engineering Locker to prep a kit ::
Mr Sanchez! Wake up!
::scratches head:: Uh, I doubt it? I would be surprised if Starfleet has a changeling in custody. Maybe we get to go to the Gamma quadrant?
::is jolted awake from being called like that:: W-w-what, I am awake, sir!
Perhaps Admiral Toffee knows something we don't? Perhaps one of us is a changeling?
They did have that scare recently on Earth. I suppose it could be possible.
Five bucks says it's Faldek
:: Raised an eyebrow as his console beeped, tapping it :: Commander Kenickie, we are picking up a distress call, from 3 lightyears away.
::adds names to list on PADD for computer to send out reminders about crew physicals::
::look of doubt on his face:: While I am not in command. If I catch you sleeping on this Bridge ever again. You will wish you were you still at DS4 as the armory officer. I have worked with you too much to be throwing away opportunities like that. Do I make myself clear?
Well we have been complying with the testing procedures that Starfleet has set regarding what happened on Earth.
::is wide awake now:: Y-yes...
Sanchez get some coffee
Yes what Crewman?
Yes sir Lieutenant. ::to Pilot::
Ultrasonic perhaps.
::goes to get Sanchez an extra strong coffee in a bridge safe cup of course::

Kasnas, trouble showing on tactical? Any other ships in the sector?
Nothing around us..... and nothing schetchie from the ship

::Returns Pool table and exhales:: Thank you for following protocol Ensign. I assure you this issue will be addressed in good time. I will notify our CENG of the mischief. You may return to your additional diagnostic list.

Your next mission may not look like much but it could be very crucial for the future of the alpha quadrant and out fight against the Dominion. A Federation scientist residing at Starbase 23 is claiming to have developed a weapon against the changelings. One that she believes can destroy them.

It's our new XO.
She specializes in covert weapons and defenses. Starbase 23 is near the Romluan neutral zone and she's been tasked with penetrating the Romulan's cloak.
I guess she new orders?
We don't keep tabs on someone's off time, that's an S31 chore.

::raises an eyebrow:: Commander Faldek?
Annika and I get along real well...enjoying some time off together is always fun.
But it's obvious she's been putting in some extra work. Regardless of when it was made we need an assessment on if it actually works. Manticore is to head to the station and have science and engineering check her work.
And if it turns out legit?

This seems like a big deal. Is that not a concern?
I hope she'll bring you happiness sir.
:::Gulps coffee:::

Who knows why this ship is a particular danger. Not that I have been on many ships. 1
:: resumes tapping buttons ::
I do as well. It was unexpected.
Harnett, why don't you go ahead and get us separated from the umbilicals.
::looks around the bridge, the weapons lockers for when those emergency armings:: I forgot about those.
Perhaps it is the nature of the Manticore's assignments. My previous assignment was a California-class vessel. The medical bay usage was around fleet average.
She's far lonelier than I imagined.
A weapon against the Dominion wouldn't exactly be a surprise to anyone. She still used ecrypted channels, mind you, just not those ones. No one's shown concern as this isn't deep cover operation. But to your point, since she didn't use closed channels, they don't want the trench coats spooking the Romulans.
:: Nods, tapping the console :: Aye, Commander.
Of course, they're always watching us.
Exactly.
Kenickie. contact the station and thank them for the work they did, let them know we'll be departing within the hour.

I am sorry sir. I will do better!

Yes. Everything checks out. Did you clean the Bridge viewports? :: Station Engineer rolls his eyes briefly upon receiving inspection report from Callista ::
((My bad time got away from me))
Systems good, science side. Nothing really to report scan wise here at this area.
So science things are sciencey...
Pretty much, yes. Upgrades are nice though.
Good.
:: In his office ::
::nods::
So, I uh, I have to be a little official, sorry. I talked with Jaffee about, you, and how your progress has been since she wanted to... reprimand you. I told her all good things. You've done really well, and that's also coming from Faldek's evaluation as well. I told Jaffee about everything we've been through so far and your contributions to it all.

Anyway, she has agreed to drop charges and allow you to remain on board and with a measure of responsibility. But...
I believe we are ready to perform our duties Sir.
She is adamant that you not remain as the ships second in command.
::checking out what upgrades they made to the science terminals::
I can live with that.... as long as I have a weapon

Callista.. I'm sorry. I am distracted.
((Dangit I was gunning for 2XO!))
::smirks:: Of course.

and keep Faldek in control.. I will not be bullied by him
::feels very relieved:: Well, that went a lot better than I feared. ::laughs::
:: turns to Erich :: Basically we are good to go Sir. I will depart to provide you with less distraction.
Speaking of which, that leaves the XO position open and... Faldek without a job. ::flashes a wincing smile::
I figured he would be in that spot
:: Nods :: This was a different shore leave for me. A curse of Betazoids.
I have to admit, he's proven very capable in the interim. So I think it's only fair.
Did you have a good time on Risa?
not nice, but proper and not shirty
::taps on his padd, going over the reports:: Always good to see nobody late.
Yes... I did. It was very ...necessary to get away from the Entombed in a Starship ..so to speak feel on gets after a while. But Yes everything did well had fun...now back the routine.
I'm sure he'll take his job seriously.
::familiarizes herself with the new system upgrades and capabilities::
::hears Pilot:: Yeah if they're late, they get a warning, second time, they start work an hour early for a month.
Look at that, even Sanchez got his report turned in for the armory on time. ::looks at Faldek:: That's fair Commander.
Right. Violet had a good time as well...as did Gila, err Doctor Orrak.
::overhears and nods in agreement::
Alright, well. I'm glad you're not upset. And we all know you're the right person to be in charge of weapons anyway.
Good discipline is key to keep the machine working at peak efficiency.
::nods:: oh I agree 100%.
:: smiles:: glad you two are getting to know each other better . The two of you should go somewhere remote on your next shore leave..
:: Looks to Violet :: Thanks for helping.
We both know I wasn't good at telling people what to do nicely

Oh sure. It is the least I can do. :: She flicked a locke of hair out of her face.

:::Exits and heads back to the lift:: Bridge
I get to tell you something I've been dreaming of ever since you first arrived on Manticore all those years ago...You're fired. 1

((LOL!!))
Fired?
Yes, Kansas is replacing you as Chief of Security.
::leans forward, perching in his chair::
:: suddenly realizes the carpet was changed around the Pool Table work area....was she making tracks on the old floor ? ::
(out of a canon, for the talent show)
(Ooo carpet)
::raises an eyeridge::
:::Steps onto the bridge and heads over to TAC::

However, that means I have an open position for a new executive officer. Interested?
(ohhh, sounds like a demotion...)
(ohhh, sounds like a demotion...)((It is. I wouldn't fall for it if I were him.))
::looks at KK back at TAC1 wondering why she is wearing Gold::
Well that would be the next appropriate step in my career path. Wait I didn't hear anything getting broken and you're not dead, so I'm going to assume Kansas is agreeable to this? 1
1
(You only get the ends of the loaf of bread for your sandwiches)
::notes the colour change as well from the reflection on her console::
Also yes, I would accept the position if you are offering it to me.
:: Knows something is going on, but reviewing the repair logs since they were on leave ::
::confused as well since she is back on the bridge but at TAC instead of the CC and unsure what to do:: Look good in gold, Commander.
(Violet did not get it, she will be bummed)
For the most part. I assume some hidden frustration will be taken out on me later.
You'll probably like it.
:: Notices Violet is a bit tanner ::
Jaffee doesn't want her as second in command. Instead she'll be third in command. ::smirks::
Thank you, I look good in most colors 1
Fair enough. So shall I assume that this permanent promotion to XO comes with other things?
::nods::
:: taps consoles getting back in the swing of things....::
::nods:: You're a cool cat.
Regardless, you've done well as the interim XO since this all started and you've proven you are capable of the job. So yes, I offer you the position.
Fair enough. So shall I assume that this permanent promotion to XO comes with other things?((Code to the secret bathroom?))
I accept.
::turns back around to face the viewscreen, sipping his raktajino::
((Code to the secret bathroom?))((No one uses my RR toilet))
((no one?))
::sips her ratkajino as well::
((There's literally a toilet in the back))
((no one?))((Shhh! I don't need others to know that))
::Sips her coffee::
::glances down at this 2 gold and 1 black pip::
Other things? Man, someone's reaching for some brass.
Lets go shoot something
::crosses his legs with the open space in the CC without realizing::
::nods, shooting stuff is fun::
::sighs:: Yes, of course, you get a promotion. Although it's rude of you to assume. 1
I don't think the Captain or Commander Faldek would let me sit in this chair again if I let that happen.
At least I didn't presume.
Especially with no threats present.
Aww come on
((I means now that Kansas is on the bridge, the ranking officer takes over command))
((That's what I thought but she went to TAC and I didn't want to get yelled at IC LOL))
:::Gulps coffee::;
::looks at her:: But you are the ranking officer. So it wouldn't be on me.
Hmm, well anyway... ::takes out a pip from the many box of spares and places it across the desk near Faldek:: Congrats Commander. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you worm your way into my seat. ::smirks:: 1
((stick em!!!))
Well, that'd be historical. First Cardassian Captain in Starfleet, you know I like distinctions like that.
Let's switch places. ::standing up from the CC and heads back to TAC2::
((I can't. That lizard skin is too thick for these pins)) 1
::picks up the pip:: Thank you Captain. ::offers a salute::
Unless someone beats you to it.
:::Gets up and takes the seat:: If you insist
Oh, and one more thing. Don't be a dick to Kansas.
::chuckles:: I don't make the rules.
I have been perfrectly amicable to her since she left sickbay.
Do you need a refill? ::to Kansas::
However I will continue, so long as she adheres to policy and procedure.
Regardless, she feels you have it out for her. I would appreciate it if you didn't give her any more reasons to feel that way.
I'm good
All the officers under our command are behind held to the same standard.
Agreed.
Aye ::sips his drink:: I forwarded the reports to your inbox and left notes on them, you literally can glance and approve at your discretion of course.
you are the best, thank you
Perhaps it's time for a shipwide announcing the official change of XO? 1

You're welcome.

Wait, so who is the captain of the sim, then?
I love Complaints
A9 of course.

With that said, KK, Komments?
Lol
I am the Captain of the Sim on Gamma Shift.

TBS will be one hour. I'm sure Faldek's email will have traveled the stream by then.
Can i get a chair at TAC2?
You mean you don't already have one?
I thought there was one there
Please issue missing equipment reports to your department head.
I will get you a reclinging chair 1
It's really the engineers that keep the ship going
That's very true actually.
True, because if said chair is broken in combat. Engineering is gonna have to fix it.
If nothing else then a reminder, the XO does not, I repeat, does not require quarter hourly raktajino refills. Any reports suggesting otherwise are false... DISMISSED!!!Exported 241 message(s) -

::Getting a running start, Bren grabs a bundle of loose cables, exactly the right length to swing him to safety three floors below, onto the roof of a bar. As long as he can stick the landing-ish it should be fine, then down the visible stairwell down to terra firma (Risa firma?) During the descent and swing it's almost as if dramatic music plays. Bren sticks said landing, hops over the 2' fence "preventing" access to the roof, and into a little cubbyhole information kiosk.

Doctor! Sit, drink, have a wing!
Are buffalo wings made from buffalo?
I just wanted to say....something regarding the crew night party....I did not approve of the experiment to make you...intoxicated from consuming chocolate. That was in my minds stupid.
::accepts the bottle and takes a swig and examines the taste::
::Makes it to the bar with the rest of the crew::
::swallows:: It is an acceptable concoction.
::nods:: Thank you, Captain. ::takes a seat:: I believe I shall pass on the wings, however, a Vulcan Brandy would be agreeable.
I cannot say the same for blood wine.
They're actually made from chicken, but it's understandable how so many make that assumption.
:: Sighs slightly :: That was not one of my.... best moments....
:: sets her PADD down briefly ::
::nods:: it is a klingon's drink. But I am only half klingon so I like to try new things as the human side of me would show.
::calls over the waiter and orders Tevek a Vulcan Brandy::
::takes another large drink of the Kanar::
I just want to say....you should not feel pressured to do anything just because you joined Starfleet.. Honestly I thought that kind of behavior by others was something done at the undergraduate level. :: frowns :: It angered me...I realize anger is a sediment you do not feel...
Some might say we have a problem...
::nods:: Thank you, Captain.
They're actually made from chicken, but it's understandable how so many make that assumption.::Looks at the Captain:: Actually it's an Earth regionalism, they have to be chickens from the old region on Earth called Buffalo, to be Buffalo wings.
Sore and annoyed but otherwise intact.
::chuckles a bit at Tevek's question, as McFly might start getting annoyed from the constant asking::
::to McFly:: Well good thing we have doctors here. Maybe give you something for the pain.
Tevek, I have seen Matt here get into way worse scrapes with Tribbles.
::sips his tequila sunrise while finishing the wings he brought to the table::
if you ever need someone to ....socialize with responsibly....I am..available..
I am relieved that you are intact, sir. ::off of Pilot's comment:: Indeed, I was wondering if perhaps it would be beneficial if I gave you a hypospray for the pain?
:: Raised an eyebrow :: I am half Human.... sometimes I can be hard to keep that side of myself under control.... and as for anger, I do feel it from time to time, I just do my best to keep it under control. Thank you, Callista.
::his head swings back and forth hearing Bren but not seeing him; finally he looks behind and see's Bren:: Chief! You slippery tadpole. You scared me. Have a wing! One day we'll try real buffalo wings once we find a winged buffalo.

I'm sure one can be engineered with wings...
Oh...I did not know you were half human....I am...well full human....:: chuckles briefly ::

DId you human family get you interested in Starfleet or your....Vulcan Family?
Appreciated, Doc. You're always welcome to slip me some experimental hypos if you're in the mood. I won't say no.
:: Takes a sip from his glass :: My Father was a Starfleet Captain, my Mother was a Vulcan scientist.... both led me to the path of Starfleet
::looks at McFly:: No experimental hypos.
That's for the doctor to decide.
::looks at Pilot, shaking his head::
Dad was the main pusher to get me into fleet, he saw in me as a kid one who..took things apart and put them back together type girl I guess.. I think also some of it was my Mom wanted me in the Tourism industry ...why I have no idea.
::raises an eyebrow:: Current Starfleet Medical regulations do not allow experimental medication research to be conducted on commanding officers of starships. However, I will keep you informed if those regulations change, sir. 1
Much abliged.
::to McFly:: True. Hopefully you don't turn into a gelatinous blob.

Hot chicken. If I recall correctly.

These are not hot. Just messy... ::wipes off his fingers with a napkin::
Don't feel too bad chief, a lot of people don't know buffalo's don't have wings. Even some that were raised on Earth.

No no. Her bracelet she has on. Told her to wear it so she does not get lost. Still has things to learn.

Yes. Different departments though.

Sure. ::rolls to her side and looks at Calli talking::

::nods::
::the auto return on the power board kicks in and it makes a wide turn back towards the rental place::
Mr Snyder> Ah ladies...if you can grab the beach balls to your right and head to the ocean.....We'd like to get a few images of you having fun in the water.

Since the gym will be needed anyway! ::orders more bloodwine and some wings::
All righty. ::grabs a beach ball and heads to the ocean::
Oh...:: stands up and grabs the inflatable beach ball...something from Earth....::
Been awhile since I seen a beach ball
Mr. Snyder> Oh dear...this is supposed to be a private beach...I hope they stay away...
::squints a bit, seeing that it's McFly:: Oh I'm sure it's fine...
:: Climbs down the hill leading back to the hotel ::
Mr. Snyder> Local Authorities are supposed to enforce regs...:: grumbles :: might choose another site next time...
::he finally looses his grip of the board and he skims to a stop in the water; he turns over and floats on his back trying to catch his breath and check to make sure his skin is still on his face; after a few minutes and finally swims back to the power board and climbs back on but as he does he accidentally presses the go button and it flies off::

::he clutches the board with both his arms and legs like a koala in a tree; soon, though, the board flips over and flies upside down while Matt tries not to get scalped by the water moving rapidly just below him::

Oh okay! :: does a volleyball tap to Annika ::
Sure thing ::plays catch with Calli:: boy, this takes me back. ::bounces it back::
Oh he's gonna hear about this later...

::He crawls out of the wreckage and flops onto his back; the attendant starts yelling at him::

Indeed it will, brother. Soon, the Bajoran people will come to know the true saving power of the Pah Wraiths. And those blasphemous Prophets will get what they deserve. ::pats him on the shoulder::
Yes, as am I, getting too pale for my own good.

Sure. ::smiles and shrugs::
Snyder + Annika + Oh Miranda completely understands your prior commitments it would be an afternoon shoot on a North Beach...
Oh.. OK. Yeah, that should be ok then.
We preach to everyone. The love of the Pah Wraiths extend beyond Bajor. In time, the entire galaxy will know their love, some their power. But we must spread the word, so that when they return, their loyal army will be waiting.

:: walks towards the hotel from the beach :: You know who would get a kick out of this...would be Violet....But I am not sure if Erich or Gila would let her come..

Nope. I've fired a lot of weapons before but not arrows.

Erich, where is Violet?

Still in her room. :: he looked at a device on his wrist :: Still sleeping.
:: holds door open for Annika ::
::nods and heads inside::
::enters the pool area::
I will say, while your execution is flawless, your technique could use some touching up. ::he walks over to her and stands behind her; he lifts her back elbow and bends her other just slightly::
We should negotiate an allowance of a guest....although..do you think New Fashion is not yet meant to be seen by anyone. Maybe they might get security conscious...
Like this? ::smiles as she hits the bullseye again but this time in exactly the same spot::
As in Faldek? They already know him.
Oh I meant Violet...
Ooh! I see. I doubt they’d get too conscious over a young teenager, no? But then, I’m not sure.

Yes, excellent. But you don't need to be so aggressive. Here let me show you. ::He wraps his arms around her and helps hold and guide the bow; then he pulls her hand back with his pulling the string of the bow with the arrow:: Don't let go just yet, take a second. Breath and let it--

Someone got a visit from the fashion company.....:: smiles looking at Annika ::
:: Opens the window and waves to Annika, but unsure if she sees ::
You mentioned that last night.
Yeah! It's pretty fun. The teacher here was just showing me how to get a better hold of the bow. Until SOMEONE came sneaking over. ::she says playfully and with a smile::
Yeah, we got an offer from Betamax guy to do some modelling gigs, this afternoon at North Beach ::waves back at Violet:: He called again about a half hour ago.
::folds his arms and glares at the instructor:: Is that what he was doing?
Ah. Have they mentioned any terms?
Not sure, what kinda compensation they’d offer. Which was why we thought to contact you about it.
Baymax..the same guys who needed us on DS9. Uh......terms?
:: Shrugs :: Ah well. Breakfast.
:: waves at Violet ::
Yeah like last time you paid and got to keep certain items of clothing...
Ah yes....the dresses and nice swimsuits.
and a nice sleepwear set
I like to get close and personal with the people I teach here. This may be a free course but I get joy when they walk away being able to do something they've never done before.
:: Waves again :: I'm having eggs!
::is quiet::
:: Moves closer to Erich ::
There's more classes if you'd like to sign up.
I'm good.
Shall I assume you'd like me to negotiate the newest contract?
::nods:: We’d appreciate something favourable for us.
:: gives a quick thumbs up to Violet ::
Oh you know I'll get you the best deal on Risa. I want some Tholian silk slippers...
Also ...I...we... feel a bit safer with you around keeping an eye on things
Well considering the last time it was a show for a notoriously bad Ferengi, I can understand that.
Yes. ::nods::
::see's that glint in Matt's eye; smirks:: Well if you don't mind, I'd like to continue my class. ::she looks Matt dead in the eye, smirking::
:: Closes his eyes and enters Gila's mind ::
I wonder what galaxy class criminals they'll have around this time...
Eri-
I’m still glad he didn’t recognize us from the first time…
That might be enough archery for today.
There's only a few minutes left.
That makeup they used on us worked wonders
I think you would have been fine without it.
See, only a few minutes. And then he can teach you. ::her smirk is turning into a big grin::
:: smiles :: well....
I suppose so. ::smiles:: His gaze wasn’t exactly fixated on our faces…
:: The hillside scene morphs into another place, another time. A door to a rustic home lays before them ::
I don't think we are going to get paid for this....there was something he talked about regarding starfleet recruiting department using some of the images...
Oh trust me, you'll be getting paid.
::goes back to putting his arms around her and "showing her how to hold the bow"::
but I got the impression we would get some clothes out of the event.
Where am I? Where are we?
yeah, he wanted me to pose to help boost Starfleet’s recruitment drive. But, yes we would appreciate if we were compensated for our time.
Kinda wanted to see if we could take Violet with us...I think she would kinda enjoy this.
My childhood home. Another time, another place.
::grabs KK's hand:: Yeah I think we're done. ::takes the bow; tosses it on the check in table then walks up the beach with KK::
I am not a babysitter...
::chuckles::
:: looks to Annika then back to Beran :: Do we look like babies?
::laughs; stops him on the beach and puts her arms around his neck and kisses him:: ...Jealous much?
I come here often to...take a break from life on the ship
However that girl can take care of herself if she gets into a bind.
You didn't see what he was trying--
How am I here?
I was referring to Violet.
yeah, more than I would…
:: laughs :: I'm gifted.::
Of course....:: smiles back at Beran ::
I know exactly what he was doing. ::still laughing::
Mhmm... I'm not amused.
Oh the contact's name is Snyder...Max Snyder.. :: shows " card " to Faldek ::
Well I sure am. ::kisses him again; then takes him by the arm and continues walking together up the beach::
::pulls out his PADD and runs a check through the Starfleet database::
Does he like his martini, shaken or stirred?
Cute Bajoran Barkeeper> :: encourages tourists to visit the Shrine of the Pah wraiths ::
Come on. I'll make it up to you with some lunch and those little girly drinks you like.
Two girly drinks.
Of course.
Seems legit.
Don't know we will find out in several hours.

Mmm Risa
More shoreleave is always nice
Got two for Risa. Anyone else?
We can do more shoreleave I guess then we will be fully relaxed.

I GUESS we can stay on vacation longer. I mean if that's what everyone really wants. ::shrugs::

As long as there is no more Chocolate, then I'm ok with more vacation
Alright, well since only a few have spoken more shore leave it is! 1

HuskyMan found us on Discord but for anyone else interested in checking out our Discord server where we host the sims a link will be posted at the bottom.

Hi! Welcome to STSF! We're an RP group that dates back all the way to the late 90's on AOL. If you don't know what that is it was an early ISP with its own eco-system that included chat rooms. Anyway that's all to say we've been around for a while. Currently we have four ongoing sims which have all moved their gameplay to Discord. I'll post a link at the bottom.
In the forums under Advanced Sims you can see samples of what our games are like. We call them sims (short for simulations) because that's the way they're played. You have a character set in the world of Star Trek and that character lives their life as if they were aboard a starship or station. They have their duties as StarFleet officers, they follow chain of command and build relationships with the people around them.
Each sim will run story plots generally laid out by the GM (game master) and those will take place over the course of many months since each sim is only played for one hour once a week. Depending on where the story is going the sim can be anywhere from heavy action to figuring out something sciencey to away missions to everyone sitting in the mess hall having dinner and any and everything in between.
And your character stays as long as you do. Some people have chosen to change their character but that's rare. Most people stick with the same character for years. I myself have been using the same one since I started back in 2003. You can always develop side characters to enhance your experience but they're not used at the expense of your main character.
Hope that helps explain how we play. It's not difficult at all, just takes a couple of sims to get used to.
And yes, all our sims are played in the evening in US time zones. A Google search says Norway is in the CET time zone, so you're looking at Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 4am CET.
Unfortunately we don't have anything else going on at the moment that would accommodate better. I can't imagine anyone willing to get up at 4am just to play a game but if you're interested we'll be here. :D

Manticore has been sent to Starbase 23 near the Romulan neutral
zone to confirm a new weapon designed against the Changelings.
Along the way, they received a distress call, the sender of which
claims to be the son of Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie but
DNA tests conclude that Erich is the real father. He does, however,
bring warnings about the future. McFly decides to cautiously
continue with the mission along with calling for fleet backup.
Upon arrival to the station, an away team met with the woman
leading the project, Dr Moira Taggert. She performed a weapons
test on a compound approximating Changeling physiology. And then
suddenly, Romulans!
