=/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #631, STARDATE 51010.18 =/\=

The Manticore has returned from a parallel universe that was almost identical to our own. We successfully navigated a slipstream tunnel between alternate universes, but the ship sustained heavy damage. We are now docked at Maturin Station and are undergoing extensive repairs.

 

 

Vilanne -> ::finishes transporting the Bolian's over to the station, then addresses those in sickbay:: Doctors, if I could have your attention?

Keb -> ::stares out a window at the ship as its being repaired::

Eva Jaz -> ::rested and already hig on caffeine , sipping her fifth cup of the day , turning towards Vil::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::glances over at Vil from wherever she's standing insickbay::

Ian_Syndrx -> ::in his quarters, planning out a complicated route to sickbay that will take him past the fewest crewmembers possible::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::Sitting in his Ready Room, noting the plotted course for their next mission in a few days:: That's a lonnnng way to travel

Asteria Jaxa -> ::Is on the station promenade looking for a suitable place to find a meal::

Keb -> ::speaking softly:: Poor little ship.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::having taken a vacant office on the station, is doing her operations thing, running over requisitions, glancing at manifests, reviewing installations, etc:::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::sneaks up behind Keb:: It's not that little...

T'Prise -> :: Sitting in the Manticore's mess hall, partaking of a meal, a packed bag at her feet. ::

Vilanne -> That was the last Bolian, doctors. I would like to extend shifts to the station also. If you are scheduled, I would like you over there helping out, if you are off shift, feel free to shop, sleep or party...

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::since the OPS console is pretty much toast:::

Vilanne -> Stay close though... we could get recalled at any moment.

Bob Figaro -> ::glances out from the mooring wondering how...nevermind, why ask::

Keb -> ::jumps, startled, and then grins up at her husband:: No, not that little. Think I hurt her feelings?

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::sighs:: and it looks like Garn is not coming back to us anytime soon.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::picks up a @ 'cause she's on the station:::

Eva Jaz -> ::smiles at Vil, mouthing "shopping?"::

LtCdrFaldek -> Oh I doubt it.

Ian_Syndrx -> ::leaves his quarters and heads to sickbay::

Vilanne -> ::raises her eyebrows a few times:: Yes, Shopping.

MC_Escher -> ::sits down across from T'Prise:: Why are you leaving?

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::flip...flip::: Figaro? ::pulls up the personnel file:::

McFly -> ::admiring the latest weaponry checking off items to bring aboard::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods slowly at Vil::

Keb -> @::stands up on tiptoes and gives Faldek a short kiss:: In a way, I guess, she was my first love.

Vilanne -> I"ll be in the station's sickbay if you are looking for me until the end of my regular shift.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> +FALDEK+ Lt. Commander Faldek, come in

T'Prise -> :: Glances up from her food as Escher joins her. :: Commander, you are welcome to join me.

Eva Jaz -> ::nods::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::kisses back:: You have to admire her lines... +A-9+ Go ahead Admiral.

Eva Jaz -> Shopping time!

Admiral Atragon-9 -> +FALDEK+ Mr. Faldek, I think we need to talk

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::sighs::

Asteria Jaxa -> ::Finds a promising cafe that serves coffee and orders a cup::

Vilanne -> Just keep in touch, we can get recalled at any second.

MC_Escher -> ::blinks:: Was that a joke, T'Prise?

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Nudges McFly:: you need a bigger one

LtCdrFaldek -> +A-9+ Roger that sir, where would you like me to report to?

Eva Jaz -> +Jaxa+ Are you on the station?

Bob Figaro -> ::boards the Manticore, tilting his head as he reads over the padd::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks at Keb, a slight look of terror in his eyes, wondering what he did wrong::

Sovak -> ::reads over yet another report in his quarters::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::sotto voce:: Officer Training program .... ::checks his age:::

McFly -> ::raises eyebrow:: you told me size didn't matter

Admiral Atragon-9 -> +FALDEK+ I am in my Ready Room, will that work for you?

Ian_Syndrx -> ::walks into sickbay, preparing himself for the inevitable suprise of the doctors::

McFly -> ...oh wait you're talking about the gun

Kansas Kenickie -> With weapons it does.

LtCdrFaldek -> +A-9+ Of course sir. On my way.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::opens her mouth to make a comment and then shuts it abruptly as she sees Ian come in::

Eva Jaz -> ::pours sb special blend java into her travel mug , spilling half of it out seeing Syndrx walk in ::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::gives Keb a quick kiss and hurries to a TL::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::error. does not compute::

Keb -> ::disengages from her husband and watches him leave:: Good luck, Beran.

Bob Figaro -> ::pauses, shrugs and walks towards a turbolift::

T'Prise -> :: Raises an eyebrow at Escher. :: I was merely pointing out that you are allowed to sit at this table.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::enters the TL, leaving Keb in the dust:: Bridge.

Eva Jaz -> Ian> Aren't you ... dead? :: wipes spilled coffee::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Grabs a larger one:: now this is a gun

Keb -> ::wonders why the admiral would summon him at present, looking back out the window at the ship::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::usual Romulan paranoia springing to the forefront:: Who are you?

MC_Escher -> ::looks a little exasperated:: But I had already sat down and...never mind. You. You're going to Vulcan. Why?

Vilanne -> See you! ::waves and heads over with her personalized med kit:: ::stops in her tracks, seeing Ian, then... glancing at the back room where the body if Ian was in stasis::

Ian_Syndrx -> Eva> Yes and no. An Ian Syndrx is dead, but I'm not that Ian Syndrx

Asteria Jaxa -> +Jaz+ Not at the moment I can come back if you require me to, Im in a cafe with the best coffee you have to try some

kyle_mele -> ::exits the turbolift into the corridor leading to Sickbay::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ +Station COM+ ::slight pause before she speaks, wondering if he's been briefed:: Ltjg Figaro, report to Station OPS.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::crossing halfway across sickbay towards him and stopping::

Keb -> ::tries to calculate whether he -could- have gotten into any mischief::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::exits the TL, onto the bridge, takes long strides to the RR, and pushes the button::

Sovak -> ::finishes the last report and rubs his eyes, noting another already queing up in his "in" box::

T'Prise -> :: Silent for a moment. :: I have business which must be attended to.

Sovak -> ::reaches up an shuts his terminal down::

Eva Jaz -> +JAXA+ You said the magic work.. save me a seat

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::stands up, behind his desk:: Come in

Vilanne -> ::frozen at sickbay's door, staring at Ian, mouth open, unsure what she's seeing::

McFly -> ::shows her the specs of the rifle he's holding:: yeah but this one has a compressed chamber to concentrate the beam, it'll be like shooting a needle through someone's brain

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Ian> Explain. ::curtly::

T'Prise -> I was also unaware that you knew of my travel plans.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::her office is a cubby just off of station OPS:::

Eva Jaz -> ::walks towards the door :: Ian> Well .. welcome back to the land of the living ::exits SB::

Asteria Jaxa -> +Jaz+ But of course! See you soon.

Bob Figaro -> +Farrington+ Uh, this is Figaro. I'm aboard the Manticore. You want me at station operations?

LtCdrFaldek -> ::enters the RR, steps in front of the Admiral, and stands at attention:: Reporting as ordered Admiral.

kyle_mele -> ::slows down, nearing the double-doors leading to Sickbay::

kyle_mele -> ::enters::

MC_Escher -> T'Prise, I... ::struggling for words:: I understand our relationship has been tumultuous, but I also feel that we're close enough for you to tell me the truth. Am I wrong?

Vilanne -> ::standing, frozen at the door::

Eva Jaz -> ::nods at Mele, as she encounters him by the doors: Boss...

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::looks up:: +Figaro+ Affirmative.

Kansas Kenickie -> We need laser Cannons

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::stands, facing Faldek and taking a measure of the Cardassian for a moment::

Ian_Syndrx -> To make a long and complicated story short, you all were in an alternate reality. While in that reality the Ian Syndrx that belonged to that reality came aboard. That is the Ian you have in your morgue.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods at Mele, watching his reaction to Ian's presence in the room:: ::also watching Ian very closely indeed::

Bob Figaro -> ::rolls his eyes:: I swear to everything that people with power always stink. ::grumbles and starts walking back off the ship::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Pops hands up in an explostion motion:: Boooooooom

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::smiles and sits down behind his desk:: Mr. Faldek, please have a seat

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::walks into the main operations center of the station to check the status of operations on ::

Capt Calestorm -> <::looks about for cover in case Ninja Hug does not go well::>

LtCdrFaldek -> Of course sir. ::takes a seat::

kyle_mele -> ::headtilt::

T'Prise -> :: Still hesitant to say anything, but forges on ahead, eyes softening a bit. :: The business is of a personal nature.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Ah. ::still looking somewhat skeptical, but picks up a tricorder::

kyle_mele -> Would someone care to explain?

Keb -> @leans against the railing in front of the large window, watching the little machines working on Manticore's exterior::

McFly -> you realize how few missions we get where boom is required

Vilanne -> ::slowly talking to Mele:: Boss... he's... dead...er... undead... or... I don't know.

Bob Figaro -> @::officially walks back onto the station:: My luggage better not have gotten lost. ::thinking of a particular item of interest, sighs::

kyle_mele -> ::nodding quietly::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> I see that you have been a big help in Engineering, both motivating our crew and coordinating with station repair teams

Bob Figaro -> @::enters a lift and requests his destination::

Kansas Kenickie -> It would be nice to have the option

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::receiving a negative, she leaves directions for them to direct one Figaro to her office/cubby:::

Ian_Syndrx -> You are welcome to run scans on me and my counterpart. Check the quantum signature of our bodies, it will confirm what I am saying.

LtCdrFaldek -> Thank you sir, just doing the job that you asked me to perform.

Eva Jaz -> ::fast forward herself to the station , making a mental note to ask about the zombie scientist when she get back::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::then returns to review his file:::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> And how are you... enjoying it down there?

Eva Jaz -> Josh> ::sitting in sb , even if he's off , waiting for a chance to ask Jai out when she gets off shift::

MC_Escher -> Okay. You can still tell me. Our relationship certainly transcends that of the chain of command at this point. ::brings his hands halway up as if to put them on hers, then thinks better of it and replaces them at his sides:: You can talk to me.

Asteria Jaxa -> ::Finds a nice table on the promenade outside the cafe to wait for Eva::

Bob Figaro -> @::as he exits the lift onto station operations:: Should have taken the job as a parole officer...

McFly -> aren't the quantum proximity mines enough?

kyle_mele -> So I see

LtCdrFaldek -> Well it has been quite busy, and the engineering crew seems to be well trained. Overall, I have not been bored.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods at Ian:: Have a seat...rekkhai.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Station OPS guy> ::points Figaro in the direction of her office:::

Kansas Kenickie -> Noo

Eva Jaz -> :: walks around the station , happy to be out of sickbay for a change::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::faintly questioning look at Mele to see if he has any orders on the subject::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> I see...

Vilanne -> ::slowly moving over near the biobed that Ian's sitting on, watching Jaiysa's vitals she's taking::

Bob Figaro -> @::sighs, puts on his face and presses the door chime::

McFly -> ::sighs:: fine, but we're only getting two

Ian_Syndrx -> ::sits down on an empty biobed and lets the doctors convince themselves that he is alive::

LtCdrFaldek -> For the most part I would say it has been ... enjoyable and challenging.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::scan scan scan::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::stands, moving to the door to greet him:: Enter...

T'Prise -> :: Thinks for a moment, then determines that he does have a right to know. :: I require treatment from Vulcan specialist for the head injuries I have sustained. I am seeking to have the vestigal emotions brought on by the trauma and our mind meld purged.

Kansas Kenickie -> Woohoo!! ::Lifts arms in a touch down pose::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> How would you feel about continuing with that challenge?

kyle_mele -> ::nods:: It is not altogether such a surprising theory.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> This ship is in need of a Chief Engineer

Sovak -> ::stands and Picard's his uniform, heading for the door of his quarters

Eva Jaz -> ::spots < no pun intented> the other Trill sitting in the coffee shop::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::tilts his head a bit:: What about Chief Garnoopy?

Bob Figaro -> @::groans under his breath before entering, putting on the require neutral face:: Figaro, reporting at ordered. ::gives something that resembles a salute::

Eva Jaz -> @::grabs an @ as she walks in waving to Jaxa::

MC_Escher -> ::face darkens:: I was worried that it was something like that. T'Prise...I know that I will not change your mind. You're still free to go to Vulcan. But, just so it's on the record, I think that the vestigial emotions you're feeling are in fact kernels...

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Chief Garnoopy's wounds and plans have taken him from Manticore

Keb -> ::still vaguely calculating her husband's whereabouts in the last couple of days...he probably didn't have a chance to go unsupervised on the holodeck...::

Asteria Jaxa -> ::Looks up at Eva approaching and waves::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Ltjg Figaro... ::extending her hand:: Cmdr Farrington. Please...::gestures:: relax. Take a seat.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::blinks:: I would be honored, Admiral.

MC_Escher -> ...and are to be nurtured, not expunged. I think getting rid of them will be pretty impossible. Emotions are like that.

Bob Figaro -> @::clears his throat and meets the hand:: Commander. ::without further comment, takes the chair::

Vilanne -> ::glances at Mele after seeing the test results, grabs her own tricorder and heads towards status where the other body is supposed to be::

aiysa t'Tamarak -> No. Given the current situation it makes sense. ::eyes tricorder:: The readings do identify him as Erei'riov Syndrx.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> This would mean a fulltime job, you would be leaving Security

LtCdrFaldek -> ::averts his eyes slightly:: I understand sir.

Eva Jaz -> ::pulls a chair across from Asteria:: Picked the best place on the station old friend ::smiles and takes a deep breath of java aroma::

McFly -> ::looks around at some of the other weapons:: it'd be nice if they'd start coming out with some melee stuff

Vilanne -> ::opens the status chamber after decompressioning and enters, looking for the stored body::

T'Prise -> :: Looks somewhat perplexed. :: I understand that from your point of view emotions are something to be cultivated, however, they are of concern when juxtaposed with Vulcan logic. I cannot meditate, I cannot focus, and it is probable that I am a liability..

T'Prise -> to this ship and crew without treatment.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::pulling up her own chair, amiable expression:: We try not to stand too much on ceremony on Manticore, Mr. Figaro. Welcome aboard, in a manner of speaking.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> So I will ask again. Do you wish to become the Manticore's Chief Engineer?

LtCdrFaldek -> Yes sir.

Ian_Syndrx -> Of course I'm Ian. I've run test myself in the science lab. Do you have any idea how disconcerting it is to come back home after a 6 month temporary assignment and find a death certificate waiting with your name on it?

Sovak -> ::enters TL:: Bridge

Asteria Jaxa -> ::Smiles at Eva:: What can I say old habbits die hard even after 3 lifetimes the coffee calls to me

Bob Figaro -> @::nods slightly, resisting the urge to shrug and say 'If you only knew...':: Yes, Commander.

Keb -> @::tilts head and brushes a curl out of her eyes, thinking..."and he definitely was with me last night..."::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::grabs a knife, plays with it::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Until the operations console is operational I'm working from here. Sorry for the detour you had to take..::pulls up his file:::

MC_Escher -> You're a liability if your emotions are raging uncontrolled through your psyche. I get the impression that the kind you're feeling are of a different, quieter, and less harmful nature. I'm pretty sure Vulcans can feel love...or affection...without damage

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::stands, smiling:: Very good! I took the liberty of having this ready for you

LtCdrFaldek -> I am honored you would choose me.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Since you're on Maturin Station, I'm sure you are aware that Manticore is not exactly a tugboat? ::a question::

Bob Figaro -> @::fails to respond, suddenly thinking of his luggage::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::faint smile:: Na. No idea. ::snaps tricorder shut and glances at Mele::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::stands with the Admiral::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::hands him the Eng. Comm badge (we don't do blue uniforms, do we?)

Sovak -> ::enters the bridge, still a bustle of activity, open panels and optical cable strung everywhere::

Ian_Syndrx -> ::mutters:: At least you have THAT figured out...

Bob Figaro -> @::blinks, looking at Farrington and giving one hell of an acting job:: Of course, sir.

Vilanne -> ::lifts the cover, notes the body, starts scanning::

Eva Jaz -> ::grins:: I think Jaz is addicted ::on cue the waiter appears and takes her order for a Trill size double shot cafe americano::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::offers his hand to Faldek:: Congratulations, Chief

LtCdrFaldek -> ::takes the new comm badge::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::shakes A-9's hand:: Thank you, Sir.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::nod:: And you're fully qualified in her advanced technological systems?

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::then back to Ian, more businesslike:: Did au need something? ::a little dryly:: Beyond suffering a great deal of disbelief?

T'Prise -> I am concerned that this lapse in judgement, allowing the emotions to propogate unchecked may also lead to other complication, complications that defy both regulations and logic.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Because.... I see no notation in your file.

Asteria Jaxa -> @ I hadn'

Bob Figaro -> @::shrugs slightly, privately thinking 'What the hell....':: I have been briefed, sir, not fully uh...vested yet in all the information.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Computer, please note the change in crew manifest, effective immediately. Lt. Commander Beran Faldek is now the Chief Engineer and is no longer a member of the Security Department

Eva Jaz -> @::waiting for her coffee:: So I ran into one of your colleague on my way out .. You know anything about his resucitaton?

Asteria Jaxa -> been in a while well till i came aboard something about starships and coffee

Vilanne -> ::convinced that this body is dead, processes some DNA and bio-signatures for marking. while they process by the computer, closes up, seals the chamber, recompresses::

STSF_BluRox -> <there is a reason my tag line is the Resident Evil>

MC_Escher -> ::Escher sits back and makes a wry comment:: Emotions tend to do both. I hope you find what you're looking for on Vulcan, T'Prise. God knows we all need a break.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> COMPUTER> Acknowledged

Ian_Syndrx -> Medically I'm fine, but I would like to have the deceased line on my starfleet record erased, it makes it difficult to get any work done.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::leaning back, conversational tone, not confrontational:: Tell me what you did at the R&D Facility Triacus.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::lets a smile cross his lips::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Alright, Chief, get outta here and fix my ship!

Vilanne -> ::Vil's scan was after Jaiysa's scan, so Ian's medical record AGAIN records him being dead::

LtCdrFaldek -> Of course sir. ::turns on heel and exits the RR::

Bob Figaro -> @::shrugs, moving right into the script:: Nothing huge sir, traditional stuff for someone right out of schooling.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Elaborate. Indulge me.

Vilanne -> ::returns to Mele and t'Tamarak:: He's dead... I mean... he's ::points to status:: Dead...

Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::looks puzzled a moment:: ooh Syndrx yes that came as quit a shock to me as well, apparently the Syndrx that died was from the other reality, this ones been here waiting for us to pick him up

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::picking up some strange vibes..something about luggage:::

T'Prise -> :: Trying to steer the conversation in another direction. :: I would recommend that you also use this opportunity to rest and recuperate from our recent mission. You have also incurred traumas from which you will need to recover.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::reflects privately that in certain lines of work, being listed as dead is imperative, but this isn't one of them:: Ie. We'll see to it. ::hearing Vil:: I think.

Keb -> @::winds up just hoping it wasn't too big an offense::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::heads for the TL:: Main Engineering. +Keb+ Please come to Main Engineering.

kyle_mele -> ::nodding::

Bob Figaro -> @::forces a bit of a smile that is clearly forced:: Well sir, I am certain you know that many projects completed by the Corps are not exactly up for discussion, sir.

McFly -> ::looks over the hand weapons; notes a new phaser that shoots in bursts instead of a continuous stream; atempts to order it but learns it's only a prototype::

Ian_Syndrx -> ::points at the stasis drawer:: He is dead. ::points at himself:: I am alive.

kyle_mele -> And yet, alive. ::nodding to the Ian sitting on the biobed ::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::sits down at his desk again:: +McFly+ Lt. Commander McFly, come in, please

kyle_mele -> Did you compare the quantum signatures?

Eva Jaz -> @::nods as if it was the most normal thing in the world:: Oh that means I get to assist on the autopsy of an alternate universe Syndrx .. that's different....So what's new with you? adjusting well to Manticore?

Keb -> @::gives her communicator a strange look and then answers:: +Faldek+ Sure, I'll be right there. Everything okay?

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::So he dances around the issue...:::regards him a minute before continuing:::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Throws knife::

LtCdrFaldek -> +Keb+ Yes. Faldek out.

McFly -> +A9+ mcfly here

Bob Figaro -> @::tosses in:: Though the politics are just as heavy....::under his breath::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::tosses the tricorder containing her readings from Alive!Ian towards Vil::

MC_Escher -> ::sighs:: You know, I thought that losing Syndrx was the end. It might have been if I hadn't gotten him back...we hadn't. My emotions are all mixed up right now. Maybe I need to do some meditation myself.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> +McFly+ Mr. McFly, I'm sorry to hit you with mre staffing issues in Security, but Mr. Faldek has been removed from your department

Vilanne -> Yeah, I know... he's alive. ::points at this Ian:: But ::points to status:: He's dead.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::exits the TL and enters Main Engineering::

kyle_mele -> ::headtilt:: So were many of us..

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Lifts right brow::

kyle_mele -> Remember?

McFly -> ::looks up from his padd:: +A9+ has he now? may i ask why?

Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::smiles:: As well as can be expected on board not even a week and thrown into a alternate universe, the lab has proven very intresting well the crew in the lab anyhow

T'Prise -> :: Eyes go soft for a moment. :: You are also mourning the loss of the child.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::politics::nods:: Very well. You are assigned as an engineering officer. We have a new chief... Lt Cmdr Faldek. You will report to him immediately after finding your quarters. ::hands him a chit with his quarters location:::....

Vilanne -> I am checking against Jaiysa's readings now to see who is who.

Keb -> @::shrugs and heads over to the ship::

Sovak -> ::moves a panel cover from the CC which gains him a dirty look from a Maturin Engineer, until he see's who moved it. The engineer quickly moves some other stuff out of his way, by way of apology::

Bob Figaro -> @::looks back at Farrington:: I honestly wish I could be more specific sir. ::takes the chit:: Thank you, sir.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ If you have any problems with your quarters, let me know. We underwent quite a journey to the station and are still under repairs. Any questions?

LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks around, and heads for the Chief's office and enters::

Eva Jaz -> @::accepts her coffee , smiling at the waiter:: A week only? Sleep deprivation makes keeping track of time surprisingly difficult

Admiral Atragon-9 -> +McFly+ Because I needed a new Chief Engineer, so I stole him from you

Bob Figaro -> @::pauses:: I am certain I will have many, Commander, but at the moment I have none.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Specific? You will find out soon enough. If a cloaked station didn't clue you in, perhaps your chief of engineering can.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::nod:: Good. Glad to hear there is progress...::her console blinks:::

MC_Escher -> ::eyes widen:: You know, I keep forgetting about him. Which sounds horrible, but...I never knew him. When you consider it, really, that boy was not my child. It was child of Escher's, but a different Escher. I mourn for him the way I would mourn any...

McFly -> +A9+ understood, i'll look into bring someone in to replace him

kyle_mele -> ::nods to Ian:: I'm happy to see you're alive.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks around the office, noting it being clear of all of Garnoopy's belongings::

Sovak -> ::begins his own diagnostic on the arm terminal::

Bob Figaro -> @::raises an eyebrow:: Yes, sir.

Kansas Kenickie -> Does this mean we can steal someone from another department?!

Vilanne -> ::bumps her PADD against Jaiysa's to move the data over for a match. watches over Jaiysa's shoulder for results::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Bounces::

kyle_mele -> ::Vil:: Record the findings in your report. After you've finished up here, release Mr Syndrx back to active duty.

Asteria Jaxa -> @ It would seem like just yesterday if I didn't know any better ::sips on her coffee thinking for a moment about the past few weeks::

McFly -> i doubt it's that easy

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::smile:: Progress indeed. It seems the operations console is complete on the bridge. I'll accompany you back to the ship.

Ian_Syndrx -> ::returns the nod:: Thank you, Doctor

MC_Escher -> ...stranger's child. It does hurt a little, though, knowing that if we had transitioned days earlier I could have met him. ::eyes go less wide:: Well. I will meet my child someday. Maybe just not quite yet.

Keb -> :;slips onto the Manticore and finds a convenient TL::

Bob Figaro -> @::clears his throat and smiles:: My honor then sir. ::stands from the chair::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::terminates the transmission, noting to have her information transferred to the ship:::

Eva Jaz -> @::drinks her coffee looking blissful , eyeing the waiters::

Keb -> Computer, Main Engineering, please.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> PADD> ::assert that the Ians are from different universes::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::deep breath:: Relax, Lieutenant. If you don't you'll have a rough ride.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::sits in the chair, kicks his feet up on the desk, trying it on::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::exits ahead of him, allowing him to fall into step next to her:::

Bob Figaro -> @::looks at Farrington, tilting his head:: Actually Commander, I am the most relaxed I have been in weeks. ::smiles and follows::

kyle_mele -> ::retreats into his office to finalize the thankfully shrinking mound of "paper"work that has presented itself::

LtCdrFaldek -> Wow this is... perfect.

T'Prise -> :: Stares at Escher for a moment, wondering at his implication. :: I do believe that someday, you will have a child, Commander. Your mourning of this child's loss is both sensible and rational. The individuals of the alternate universe are not the same...

Asteria Jaxa -> @ It's nice to be back to our own universe, how are the Bolians doing?

T'Prise -> as we, and they never will be.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::exits the RR onto the Bridge:: Ahh, Captain Sovak

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::glad she hasn't seen him agitated, only gives him an acknowledging smile:::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::stands up, and walks out of the office::

Sovak -> ::looks up:: Admiral.

Kansas Kenickie -> We needs more smokers ::Picks up smoke granades::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::stops at the rail around the core, and looks around::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> I have transferred Mr. Faldek to the Chief Engineer position

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::enters the lift:: Manticore docking bay.

Vilanne -> ::glances at Jaiysa:: My head hurts... I need coffee for this one. ::turns and goes to the coffee machine::

Sovak -> ::nods:: I noted.

Bob Figaro -> @::following, standing silently::

McFly -> don't forget the flashbangs

Sovak -> ::taps his terminal:: Duty roster is already updated.

MC_Escher -> ::nods:: Of course. The death of child, while horrific, doesn't hurt me the way it used to. Life in spec ops numbs the pain, I guess. What hurt more are the possibilities. The what ifs, the spiraling alternatives...makes me want to visit all of them.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods slowly:: We should have tested this during the post mortem, probably.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::simple query:: Family?

Eva Jaz -> @We were right , the alternate universe was acting on them like a toxin on their nervous sytems , they came back on their own within minutes of crossing over but it's too early to determine if there will be long term side effects

Bob Figaro -> @::clears his throat:: Complicated, sir.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> I bet he wll be motivated to impress me. that can only help us be ready for our departure.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Ian> At any rate...this seems about as conclusive as one can expect. We'll have au records adjusted.

Keb -> ::steps out onto Main Engineering as the doors open, and looks around for Beran::

LtCdrFaldek -> Over here Keb, doesn't even turn around.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::Picard breath:: As is mine. ::exits at the bay:::

Asteria Jaxa -> @ I do hope they make a full recovery

Bob Figaro -> @::tilts his head, on cue:: Though, my depature from the Corps is...a loss. They have been my family for so long, especially certain persons.

Vilanne -> ::pours coffee, tripple sugar, tripple cream - you know, cake in a cup::

Ian_Syndrx -> Jai> Thank You doctor. I'm going to get back to work - unless you need anything else from me?

Bob Figaro -> @::glances up without moving his head, following Farrington::

Keb -> ::smiles and follows his voice, coming up beside him:: Pretty, isn't it? So what did the Admiral want?

Sovak -> Agreed. I'm sure he will be a sufficient Chief.

Kansas Kenickie -> ::smirks:: food shopping is fun sometimes

LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks at Keb:: I'm the new Chief Engineering.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::somewhat taken aback:: Departure from the corps?

McFly -> look at this, they got an updated MPD :: picks it up; puts it on:: looks like the sensors have been tweaked

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Why Captain, that's high praise from you

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::shakes head:: Na for the moment. We'll let au know if necessary.

Eva Jaz -> @::nods , her face half buried in her cup::

Bob Figaro -> @::pauses:: I apologize sir, I expected you were familiar with my file. The Corps of Engineers? We are like family, sir....disfunctional though.

Bob Figaro -> @::smirks ever so slightly for obvious and private reasons::

Sovak -> ::raises an eyebrow:: He has, so far, given me no reason to doubt it. I will be watching, however.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::entering the ship through a walkway::: I see. For a moment there I thought there were some Marines in your background.

Keb -> ::binks and then gasps with delight, throwing her arms around him:: Really? That's awesome! Congratulations!

McFly -> ::looks at the manual:: it now reads the signiture from the comm badge and highlights friendlys in green

T'Prise -> I am pleased that you seem to be handling the grief in a logical manner. It would not do to dwell on the what ifs and possible futures in life. A sage human philosopher once said:

T'Prise -> You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays.

Asteria Jaxa -> @ I don't which i like more the caffine or the sugar ::playing with her cup::

Bob Figaro -> @::opens his mouth then closes it:: I have had...encounters with Marines, sir. They do not seem to normally take kindly to the people who know how to break their guns.

Ian_Syndrx -> ::gets up from the biobed and heads for the science lab::

McFly -> very nice

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::hearty chuckle:: I know what you mean.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::accepts the hug:: I've gotta get this ship ready for whatever our next mission is, I wanna get it there ahead of schedule.

Bob Figaro -> ::to himself:: Or knock them on the ground in five seconds.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::watches him go out and then puffs out a slow breath:: Phuppphhh...

MC_Escher -> ::gives T'Prise a very Vulcan eyebrow:: I didn't know you were read up on human philosophers. They're an...eclectic bunch.

Eva Jaz -> @::looks at Jaxa like she just said she likes to fry babies for dinner :: Sugar ... in coffee... Sacrilege!!!!

Vilanne -> ::hand slightly shaking while drinking the coffee and walking towards Jaiysa::

Kansas Kenickie -> I love flash bags ::Juggles 3::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::stops, turns to face him:: Welcome aboard, Mr. Figaro. You can find your quarters, then report to LtCdr Faldek in engineering.

T'Prise -> A classmate during my studies at the academy was very fond of a phenomena entitled: Broadway musicals.

McFly -> they are great for surprising a room full of targets aren't they

Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::smiles and laughs out loud at Jaz's comment:: ooh of course its the caffine

Bob Figaro -> @::pauses:: With your clearance, my dear Commander, I'll visit the Lieutenant Commander then make sure my luggage wasn't sent to Andoria.

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::grin:: Of course. Carry on.

Eva Jaz -> @::narrows eyes jokingly:: Better be!

Bob Figaro -> ::turns and walks down a corridor away from her, letting out a deep sigh::

Ian_Syndrx -> ::walks into the lab and activates his console. The console recognizes his voiceprint and loads up his terminal system. He sits down and starts sorting alt-Ian's research into a seperate directory.::

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::enters a separate lift for the bridge:::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::picks up a PADD, checking over what has and hasnt been fixed::

Vilanne -> ::stops drinking and speaks to jaiysa:: If it was anything other than October, I'd still not believe what we've witnessed.

MC_Escher -> ::snorts a little:: I wouldn't quite define musicals as philosophy...but actually, I see your point now. You just had great insight into human culture, T'Prise, if by accident

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Vil> ::dryly:: He was na a ghost, rokhinu.

Bob Figaro -> ::shakes his head, walking down the corridor grabs a padd from someone randomly as he enters a lift::

Keb -> ::nods:: I guess that means your vacation's over.

Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::still giggling at Jaz:: It feels good to laugh though even if it means threating sugar in coffee

Bob Figaro -> ::as he reads over the document, entering in several queries:: Engineering.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::pauses as the door opens onto the bridge, which, the last time she saw it, was in shambles:::

Vilanne -> I know... I know.... but he's walking dead. It's Oct... wait. Do you have Halloween on Romulus?

Keb -> ::taking in the delicious smell of Engineering::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::spots that he has a new Engineer, that was only briefed on the unclassified specs of : Oh dear.

Kansas Kenickie -> ::wants to throw one::

Ian_Syndrx -> ::after sorting out his files, Ian starts composing a brief report on the scientific circumstances that led to the demise of alt-ian::

McFly -> ::gets a message on his padd saying torpedos have been completely restocked::

LtCdrFaldek -> Yes, and I've got a new Engineer too.

Eva Jaz -> @::grins:: Working under Lt Cmdr T'Prise I guess you don't get to laugh a lot .. I met the woman

T'Prise -> :: Finishes her meal, thinking about what Escher just said. :: My studies into human culture have been extensive.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::weaves her way around a few workers, stepping over tool kits and supplies on her way to the operations console:::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Na.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> There is a similar festival honoring the dead, of course.

Asteria Jaxa -> @ She's not so bad she reminds me of Tabias' wife Tevah, He really loved that crazy Vulcan

Bob Figaro -> ::nods to himself, exiting the lift and walking into a corridor near engineering::

Kansas Kenickie -> how long we going to be hitched up here?

MC_Escher -> T'Prise, no matter how much you read, there's some insight that you only get by being part of a culture. Although for someone who hates emotions as much as you, you certainly are fascinated by humans and their emotions

McFly -> ::notes KK having far too much fun tossing flashbangs into the air:: I know what you're thinking and it's really going to suck for me if you throw that

Vilanne -> Oh Jaiysa! It's a wonderful time when people dress up in all sorts of costumes, as humans, aliens,... tons of other races... and they even make up some. It's facinating!

LtCdrFaldek -> ::gives Keb a kiss:: GO spend some time with the girls...

Keb -> Goodness, you will be busy then. Let me know if you need extra hands...I'm a little rusty, but I kinda miss being here.

Cmdr JFarrington -> Captain. ::in greeting, to Sovak:: It looks as though at least the operations console is.... operable.

Vilanne -> Tell me about your festival?

McFly -> from what I was told as long as it takes to repair the ship

Keb -> ::smiles at him, squeezing his hand::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::almost sits on a tool, glad she checked:::

Bob Figaro -> ::turns the corner and walks into engineering....blinking at the entire scene and immediately putting his hand up to rub his chin as if natural::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> A good deal more serious and less interesting. ::dryly::

Ian_Syndrx -> ::puts his report in the secure science records and sends a copy to the ship's medical database::

T'Prise -> I do not dislike emotions, as you are suggesting, I merely have no place for them in my own life. My fascination merely stems from the way humans deal with emotions and the consequences they must face as a result of those emotions.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::turns to Jami:: Yes, the repairs are going along at speed

Sovak -> ::nods:: I believe so. It will need a complete diagnostics, of course.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::spots someone he doesnt recognize and walks over:: Lieutenant Figaro?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::peers over an open panel:: Hello, Admiral. That they are.

Bob Figaro -> ::to himself:: What in the name of....::notes the Cardassian approaching, acting 102:: Yes...::pauses:: Lieutenant Commander.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Sovak:: Agreed, Captain. Which I am about to begin.

LtCdrFaldek -> I am Chief Faldek.

Vilanne -> Oh... someday, I hope you share more of the details... YOU think it's boring, I bet I'd enjoy it!

Ian_Syndrx -> ::having resolved his paperwork problems, Ian calls up the files on the ship repairs and reads through the sensor repair schedule::

Bob Figaro -> ::clears his throat:: New chief, I believe. ::tilting his head::

Vilanne -> ::finishes the coffee:: I think I'll go station side, and finish my shift talking with the doctors that are watching over the Bolians.

Keb -> ::watches her husband go to work for a moment before leaving Engineering::

LtCdrFaldek -> Yes. So rumor is that you haven't been fully briefed on Manticore.

MC_Escher -> ::waves his hand:: Of course, of course. I've heard it all before. Tell me, T'Prise, haven't you heard the maxim that either extreme of an issue is wrong? Vulcans were dangerously emotional, yes, but couldn't one argue that a complete lack of emotions is..

MC_Escher -> just as bad?

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Puts bags down:: your no fun :P

Bob Figaro -> ::examines the Cardassian, having about thirty thoughts....why does his head look like a spoon, continues:: Like most rumors, it is full of rubbish. I haven't had a chance to fully get into all the details, some review of papers will clear that all up.

Bob Figaro -> ::smiles::

Eva Jaz -> ::sighs watching the cute waiter pass by again:: I think I'm starting to get over Richard ... it was hard when he transfered out and all ...

Ian_Syndrx -> ::makes several additions to the sensor maintenance to add the new enhancements he developed during his time at Utopia Planitia::

Keb -> ::quietly exits through the turbolift, with a slight wave of greeting to Figaro on the way::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::sitting at the console, beginning a full diagnostic, dusting the panel's surface as she watches it run:::

T'Prise -> I hope to one day have a full understanding of emotions and their place in the Vulcan pysche. :: Pushes back from the table and stands, looking down at Escher for a moment. :: I must depart for my transport.

LtCdrFaldek -> Well a little tour... ::points at the core:: This is the primary warp core.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods:: I'll follow you in a while; I can deal with Mr. Syndrx's paperwork.

T'Prise -> :: Raises her hand in the traditional Vulcan gesture. :: Live long and prosper, Malcolm.

MC_Escher -> ::nods and waves the glass he had been drinking from:: Of course. T'Prise? One final thing?

LtCdrFaldek -> ::takes a few steps to get out of the way of a bulkhead filled with consoles and goes to the other side::

Bob Figaro -> ::following lines that don't necessarily go where they should:: Yes...followed by another.

Vilanne -> Thanks Jaiysa. ::heads over to the station after leaving sickbay with another full cup of cake-in-a-cup::

T'Prise -> :: Turns to look back at him. ::

Eva Jaz -> @::takes another sip:: and you ... how's the love life?

LtCdrFaldek -> We have two cores, including duplicate EPS conduits, and intermix chambers.

MC_Escher -> You're my favorite Vulcan science officer on Manticore. Be good to yourself. I want you back in one piece. ::waves her off:: Now go and catch that transport

Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::smiles reassuringly at Eva:: Well it was a hard time to loose him, but just remember you still have good friends who are here for you take all the time you need...::grins:: but that waiter is really cute.

Ian_Syndrx -> ::gets a cup of coffe from the replicator and starts working on the sensor control programs, removing some of the modifications his counterpart made and making extensive changes to implement his new enhancements::

Bob Figaro -> ::pauses, oh why the hell not:: I am certain given this ship's assignments, the extra power is always a plus. ::forces a smile::

Eva Jaz -> @::grins mischivieously:: I noticed

Keb -> ::heads back to the station, thoughts busy with everything that Beran's promotion means::

Vilanne -> @::exits Manticore and walks through the station until she gets to the medical ward::

Kansas Kenickie -> we are done.. lets get food.. I need to eat

Asteria Jaxa -> @ ooh mine ::looks at her cup:: well I suppose it's non-existant right now

McFly -> ::finishes ordering supplies; next order of buisness, runs down list of availible NPC standby's that can replace faldek::

T'Prise -> :: Pauses for a moment, then before she can think it through, performs a ritual she has seen done by many humans, leans down and kisses him on the cheek. Swiftly turns and exits before he can respond. ::

LtCdrFaldek -> We also have bio-nueral gel packs instead of the isolinear systems.

Bob Figaro -> ::shrugs, as if not really impressed by the statement::

MC_Escher -> ::mouth drops, cup pauses halfway to his mouth, and just stares at the retreating Vulcan in complete and utter surprise::

Eva Jaz -> @::makes a pouting face:: WE'll have to remedy to that next time we get more than a couple hours leave!

LtCdrFaldek -> Well then. Any questions or complaints?

Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::nods:: that would be nice for a change

Admiral Atragon-9 -> and...

Bob Figaro -> ::blinks, clears his throat:: You've walked me fifteen feet, shown me the warp reactor and said you have gel for computer relays....hu, no not really, sir.

MC_Escher -> ::rubs his cheek absentmindedly where the kiss had been planted:: Well, wasn't that...something. ::gazes blissfully into the distance::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> =/\======= PAUSE SIM =======/\=

MC_Escher -> ::paused...and wins the award for best last post ever::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Okay folks, time for an award

Admiral Atragon-9 -> The Command Crew has discussed and agreed upon a Meritorious Log Writing Award

Sovak -> Can the budget handle all these awards, Admiral. The medals are expensive you know.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> We present the award to Ian Syndrx for "Tears Not For Myself"

Admiral Atragon-9 -> (w) Sovak, it's just tin foil
