USS Excalibur

[Rue Wydown 0]

Cptn Swain -> MISSION BRIEF: The Excalibur continued en route to rendezvous with the USS Augustine, which is in orbit of the planet Domaria V, where we're to drop off our dear guest. Ad we pick up, we're roughly a day away from Domaria; however efforts to raise the Augustine have proved fruitless thus far, though we will be entering range of our long range sensors very soon.

Cptn Swain -> ::On the bridge, drinking tea, and reading shift reports::

Ryan Mesner -> ::in his office, finishing up his usual morning paperwork. He'd done all he could to stay in security until Excalibur met up with the Augustine. He wouldn't risk running into their guest, or hearing Swain lecture him about being a drunkard::

Edward Svejk -> ::Attempting amateur replicator adjustments in his room::

Fae -> :: Trying to remember why she though flying starships glamorous. ::

Karl A. Schultz -> :: enters the stellar cartography and steps up to the console

Rue Wydown -> ::enters medical attempting to hide a limp and failing miserably::

Cptn Swain -> ::Puts down the report.:: Status?

Fae -> About a day out. No response to comms. Long range sensors might come into play soon. Mechanically, we're fine.

Taryn Castell -> ::Categorizing her hypos by color and size, but as they were all the same color and size, it was a relatively quick process.:: Commander! What brings you down to our cutting floor?

Karl A. Schultz -> + ( T'Prehl) hello. I'm just reporting for duty... Did you have any assignment that I could accomplish?

T'Prehl -> Nothing to report on long range for now..

Fae -> No detectable explosions in engineering.

Rue Wydown -> Just some site seeing. ::using the desk to steady herself:: Looking to see how the locals are doing.

Ryan Mesner -> ::paperwork done, he left security::

T'Prehl -> +Karl+ Ahh, Mr. Schultz. Well, I don't have much for you right now since we're unable to raise the other ship, but if you can work on enhancing our long range sensors, or map out the area in astrometrics, that would be appreciated.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::entered main security, having completed a round with one of the roving security personnel::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::glancing up and sees that Mesner isn't in his office... idly wonders if he's nursing a hangover from his "special sauce"::

Edward Svejk -> ::Exits quarters visibly frustrated and heads towards Stellar Cartography::

Cptn Swain -> ::Rubs at his beard, which he'd started growing since they'd left Camelot.:: I see. Still no response to our hails?

Taryn Castell -> ::Clears throat.:: Hmm... well... hypothetically speaking, we're pretty restless. I mean... especially when one of our head honchos come down to slum it and basically lie to our face and imply we're idiots by not telling us what's wrong with her. But that's just hypothetical.

Rue Wydown -> ACTION>After Svejk leaves the room, the replicator falls to pieces, littering the floor.

Ryan Mesner -> ::see's Edward approaching him from down the hall. Walk normally, don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact...::

Fae -> No response to hails.

Cptn Swain -> Try and raise them again.

Karl A. Schultz -> + T'Prehl + I guess I will work on enhancing the long range sensors

Edward Svejk -> Ah, good to see you again... Mesner?

T'Prehl -> +Karl+ Very well, Mr. Schultz. Thank you for your assistance.

Fae -> :: Resets the 'hail them every half hour' timer to zero. ::

Edward Svejk -> ::Offers his hand, smiling::

Ryan Mesner -> ::@#$!. He shook Svejk's hand:: Correct you are.

Fae -> No great big hopes for a routine mission.

Karl A. Schultz -> :: brings up the neighboring space realm on the stellar cartography screen

Cptn Swain -> ::Frowns, stands and walks down from the 'Perch' down toward the primary bridge area.::

Rue Wydown -> :;waves her hand dismissively:: Or perhaps that head honcho is checking the medical staff's observation powers? Hypothetically speaking, of course. ::motions to the biobed:: Mind if we carry on this conversation sitting down?

Edward Svejk -> You must be busy! Haven't had a chance to talk to you since our departure! Strange, nobody else seemed to be able to track you down either.

Cptn Swain -> It could just be a malfunction. Their last communiqué was with fleet about four or five weeks ago when they asked for Mister Svjek to be dispatched.

Fae -> Could be. Or maybe they're just shy.

Cptn Swain -> They didn't mention anything wrong with their long range communications arrays though.

T'Prehl -> +Karl+ Thanks, perhaps by extending our range, we can possibly see why that other ship is not answering our hails.

Cptn Swain -> ::Glances back to T'Prehl:: Anything in the area of that planet that might interfer with their communications?

Taryn Castell -> Certainly. ::Smiles and waves a hand at the bed.:: If you're looking for observant, then look no further. I'm a top 'o the line medical officer with the observational powers of a meercat and the tenacity of a honeybadger. So, what seems to be the problem... hypothetically speaking. ::Pops out her tricorder and that cute little wand thingie that pops in and out.::

Edward Svejk -> ::Turns to walk with Ryan the other direction:: You know, I actually had a question for you. Just out of curiosity of course.

Ryan Mesner -> ::returns to his normal walking speed now that Edward had decided to follow him:: And what's that?

T'Prehl -> ::scanning:: Not from what I can tell sir. I do not detect any radiation or other factors which might inhibit their communications arrays

STSF Honey Badger -> (Whatcha talkin' about Willis?)

Karl A. Schultz -> + T'Prehl+ I will be down in the main engineering to work with the chief engineering about the extending sensor range

Rue Wydown -> Hypothetically speaking? My self-defense instructor thought I could fly, but apparently all I can do is fall with style. My ankle, cankle, or whatever is killing me here.

T'Prehl -> +Karl+ Very well, let me know how that goes.

Karl A. Schultz -> :: leaves the stellar cartography room and heads to the main engineering

Edward Svejk -> I was wondering... how robust is the security detail on this ship?

Cptn Swain -> ::Exhaling, he began pacing::

Cptn Swain -> Still no response to hails?

Karl A. Schultz -> :: takes the TL lift to the main engineering deck

Fae -> No response to hails.

Fae -> :: Sighs, and cuts re-hail timer intervals from 30 to 15 minutes ::

Karl A. Schultz -> :: enters the main engineering and looks for the chief engineer

T'Prehl -> ::performs some scans of the area, to look for anything which may cause interference, and, as a worst case scenario, debris::

Ryan Mesner -> Robust? ::he eyed him for a moment, trying to get a read:: We're fully manned, and I trust that everyone is...knowledgeable in their specific areas.

Cptn Swain -> ::Rubbing his beard thoughtfully as he paced:: How long until we're in range of the long ranges?

Ryan Mesner -> However, I haven't been on the ship very long, and we've yet to have a situation where I've been able to see them perform.

Fae -> We're on the edge of long range now, but if there isn't anything pretty energetic or spectacular, we won't pick up much for a while.

Karl A. Schultz -> ( Tandaris) hello chief

Taryn Castell -> Ah, I hate those hypothetical self-defense instructors. ::Wandering away, head tilt as she got to her ankle, slight nose wrinkle.:: Oh, yes. You've sprained this rather badly, but at least it isn't broken. Some swelling, but I'm not reading anything ripped or torn, either. So, good news. I won't have to chop it off.

T'Prehl -> ::looking at the Captain, doesn't recall him having a beard before. Perhaps, she will have to pay Dr. Maryse a visit soon to check her vision::

Edward Svejk -> Yes, yes, I'm sure! I certainly wasn't trying to slight your personnel. How long have you served in a Security position?

Cptn Swain -> Is she still in orbit?

Fae -> :: Decides to let T'Prehl handle sensor type questions ::

Cptn Swain -> ::to T'Prehl::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::pokes his head up from a particularly offensive pile of what appear to be spare parts but, upon closer inspection, bear an odd resemblance to a transporter assembly if it were inverted in six dimensions::

Tandaris Admiran -> Eh?

Rue Wydown -> Well, that's good news. What's the bad?

Karl A. Schultz -> ( Tandaris) hello. do you have a minute?

T'Prehl -> The ship is indeed, still in orbit Captain. We shall be in sensor range in about 30 minutes

Ryan Mesner -> I served mostly as a Tactical officer during the war. After that, I taught at the academy for a few years. Then a two year stint as a security Chief, then more teaching, then here.

T'Prehl -> at our current speed.

Ryan Mesner -> I was...called here on sort of an emergency basis.

Cptn Swain -> ::He stopped stroking his beard and crossed his arms.::

Cptn Swain -> Mister Waters, give us a bit more speed.

Cptn Swain -> And continue trying to raise them.

Fae -> Aye.

Edward Svejk -> Ah, ah, I see. I'm sure your expertise will be well appreciated... should we unfortunately rely upon it!

Fae -> :: Interprets 'a bit' as stepping up from 7 to 8 ::

T'Prehl -> ::recalculates as the ship accelerates:: Less than 10 minutes to sensor range.

Karl A. Schultz -> I am trying to extend the long range sensors ... I would like your assistance

Fae -> :: Starts looking at engine status and engineering recommendations for running at warp 9 plus. ::

Fae -> Warp factor 8.

T'Prehl -> ::As the ship reaches warp 8:: 5 minutes to sensor range.

Taryn Castell -> You're going to have to stay off of this for a while. ::Slips her tricorder into her pocket and primes a hypo to inject her with something to reduce the swelling.:: So, I'll put in an order for a scooter, alright?

Cptn Swain -> T'Prehl, prepare and launch class-1 probe ahead of us. I want to know what we're walking into.

Edward Svejk -> ::Stops suddenly:: So sorry, I just remembered I had something I... needed to investigate. Don't go disappearing again Lt. Cmdr.! ::Turns and walks at brisk pace::

Ryan Mesner -> Yes well, I would hope that I haven't gotten that rusty.

T'Prehl -> Aye sir. ::begins preparing the probe::

Rue Wydown -> ::blinks:: Will it have a flag on it?

Ryan Mesner -> ::watches Edward disappear around a corner, shaking his head slightly::

Taryn Castell -> Yes, so people can see you coming. And a handy basket strapped to the front so you can carry things.

Webmaster -> ((ACTION> There is no flag, but there is a little air horn on it.))

Edward Svejk -> ::Heads for Engineering::

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks towards the shift officer at tactical::

KhreRiovtRex -> ((Action:: Meep..Meep)

Rue Wydown -> That's just fantastic. Won't I be the belle of the ball then. ::rolls her then immediately regrets it, almost loosing her balance as she winces so hard:: Shouldn't have done that.

Rue Wydown -> Really shouldn't have done that.

Ryan Mesner -> ::pops up on the bridge, taking over Tactical:: What'd I miss?

Charlotte Matsumura -> LTJG Esposito> ::arching a brow at the captain as he looks up at him, waiting for the captain to speak::

Charlotte Matsumura -> Esposito> ::turns to Mesner:: Hey, boss... Lookin' like ops is launching a probe on captain's orders.

Fae -> :: Hopes Mesner and Esposito don't start a fight for possession of the captain's attention. ::

Charlotte Matsumura -> Esposito> And I *think* he was about to tell us where to go, too. ::lopsided grin::

Cptn Swain -> Begin tactical sensor sweeps of the area and place us on yellow alert. Though you can spare us the klaxon... ::sees Mesner sliding in:: Commander...

Edward Svejk -> ::Enters and sees Schultz, nearly turning and leaving before changing his mind::

T'Prehl -> Probe is ready

Taryn Castell -> Yea, like I said. You need to keep off it it. I'm going to wrap it up for you to give you some support that will keep you from rolling it around like a hypothetical fool and it'll feel much better. You know what they say about doctors being the worst patients...

Cptn Swain -> You might also do well to coordinate with flight ops. Put all squads on stand by, and get some of the AWACS out...

Ryan Mesner -> Hmm...

Cptn Swain -> ::Maybe he was being a *little* paranoid.::

Ryan Mesner -> ::hits yellow alert::

T'Prehl -> ::prepares to launch the probe:: Launching probe now... ::Does so::

Ryan Mesner -> Thanks. ::waves Esposito away::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::extricates himself from the rest of the parts:: Sure. What do you need?

Cptn Swain -> I don't like this at all.

Charlotte Matsumura -> Esposito> ::stands relieved:: You got it.

Charlotte Matsumura -> Esposito> ::giving the chief a long look, thinking he seems a little...off... his usual::

Edward Svejk -> Ah... Ensign Shlitz? How is... what... is there a problem?

Fae -> :: Forwards a bit of information on why the yellow alert to flight ops and department heads. ::

Karl A. Schultz -> I am trying to extend the range of the long range sensor... can you assist me?

Charlotte Matsumura -> Esposito> ::shrugs, thinking that's his own thing, and so heads off the bridge and back to main security::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::tilts his head:: Extend the range of the … ah … hmm.

Edward Svejk -> Oh, yes, of course! Ha, not a problem! ::Nods, remains near door::

Ryan Mesner -> ::tapping away at Tactical, tying the probe telemetry into his console::

T'Prehl -> (For a second there, I read Shiltz, without the "l" lol)

Tandaris Admiran -> ::moves away from the pile, which has begun to make a strange humming noise, and toward Schultz:: We can use this station over here. ::gestures::

Rue Wydown -> That would be most appreciated. Then I have to get back up to the bridge.

Edward Svejk -> ::Maneuvers towards Schultz and Tandaris:: How's this? Extending the range? What's the occasion?

T'Prehl -> ::watches the probe streak out of the ship in a bright light, monitoring scans from said probe::

Karl A. Schultz -> :: moves to the station next to Tandaris

Ryan Mesner -> ::also trying to pull up any relevant info Starfleet had on the region::

Cptn Swain -> ::Out loud, though mostly to himself:: This isn't like Charlie...

Taryn Castell -> You don't *have* to, really. I'm sure they could spare you. ::She retrieved a soothing cold wrap for Rue's ankle and fixed it in place, adjusting the pressure to a comfortable level.::

Karl A. Schultz -> We are trying to locate the other ship... better long term sensor range would help to discover it.

Tandaris Admiran -> ((Sorry, did Svejk sneak in while my Internet connection died?))

Cptn Swain -> ((Very sneak, that io. ())

T'Prehl -> (Yes, I think he did)

Karl A. Schultz -> ( yes... he entered the main engineering while you were out of the room)

Ryan Mesner -> ::raises a brow at Swain but decides not to pursue the Captains musings right now::

Rue Wydown -> I'm sure they could spare me too. But then I'd miss all the fun. Like our guest making the Captain want to crawl under his chair.

Edward Svejk -> Ehh... yes, of course! Now, I believe... if I remember... ::Reaches past Schultz and fiddles with panel::

Rue Wydown -> Again

Cptn Swain -> ::Frowns:: I suppose someone should tell Doctor Svejk about this sooner or later...

Cptn Swain -> ::Grumbles::

Fae -> Eventually.

T'Prehl -> Nothing from the probe yet.

Taryn Castell -> Oh, yes, do your best to keep him out of here. I think Doctor DuBois might slap him if he starts in about genetics. Let me go get that scooter and you'll be all set.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::sidelong glance at Svejk::

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: Perhaps I'll have Rue do it later.

Karl A. Schultz -> now we want to extend the long term sensor range

Edward Svejk -> ::Continues fidgeting with panel with one hand:: Well, why... why bother, really? Can't we get any closer? I mean... really!

Fae -> Good call.

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: At warp 8, what's our new ETA?

Rue Wydown -> I wonder if I could have Tandaris trick out my ride. ::leans back, kicking her uninjured leg back and forth::

Fae -> 7 hours, sir.

Karl A. Schultz -> in any case, extending the long term sensor range is good for the ship for all forthcoming missions

Fae -> We're close enough for a final sprint if you'd like.

Edward Svejk -> ::Eyes catch Tandaris's glare and he begrudgingly leaves the console be::

Cptn Swain -> ::Shakes his head:: No, we don't have any reason to believe anything's actually wrong, other than the lack of communications.

Edward Svejk -> Oh naturally. Wouldn't want to be surprised by anything I suppose. Although some surprises are nice!

Cptn Swain -> It could simply be a malfunction with their long range communications arrays.

Fae -> :: Turns and nods to swain ::

Karl A. Schultz -> it's more helpful in combat situation if we can detect hostile ships with greater long term sensor range

Taryn Castell -> I bet he could put hydraulics on it. ::Pops out for a minute to medical storage and zips in on a medical scooter that someone had the throttle set entirely too high on. Does a doughnut in medical.:: You'll enjoy this, I think.

Cptn Swain -> ACTION> The probe begins returning telemetry. The Augustine, a Norway-class ship, remains in orbit of the planet, though there does seem to be something a little off about the orbit. Nothing else unusual on the initial telemetry though. Power readings on the Augustine are slightly lower than expected.

Rue Wydown -> ::raises both brows, grinning:: Oh, they're going to just love this in the corridor

Karl A. Schultz -> of course, if the ships are cloaked,,, it wouldn't matter, but it'll be useful to detect other ships at longer distance

Ryan Mesner -> I'm getting data back from the probe...

Tandaris Admiran -> We can increase the range significantly, for a short period of time, but at the cost of resolution.

Ryan Mesner -> ::taps away, reading the data on his console::

Tandaris Admiran -> What sort of range increase were you hoping for?

T'Prehl -> I'm getting preliminary scans from the probe sir. The Augustine remains in orbit around the planet, but its orbit vector appears to be abnormal as does the ship's power reading.

Fae -> :: Takes a look at the probe telemetry ::

T'Prehl -> No word on life signs or signs of damage, yet

Cptn Swain -> ::He stopped pacing:: Elaborate.

Ryan Mesner -> The orbit is somewhat...elliptical...

Ryan Mesner -> Power readings are below normal. They could be having engine troubles?

Taryn Castell -> ::Steps off and dusts off the seat, waving with a flourish for Rue to try it out.:: Your gallant steed, milady.

T'Prehl -> ::nods in agreement::

Karl A. Schultz -> some increase in long term sensor range, but the resolution wouldn't be too bad

Cptn Swain -> Interesting. Could also explain why they're not responding to hails, if they're experiencing power issues. Though, I wonder what could have caused that...

T'Prehl -> A logical assumption, the power shortage is most likely shipwide.

Rue Wydown -> ::hops one footed off the biobed and carefully picks her way to the scooter:: The open road and the wind in my hair. I can't wait.

Fae -> Normally, I keep impulse and warp on standby in standard orbit. They're there for the long haul. Might have shut warp down entirely... But I don't like the odd orbit as well...

Rue Wydown -> Thank you mate.

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: Any reason you can think of for an elliptical orbit?

Tandaris Admiran -> ::enters proposed adjustments to the long-range array’s input pre-filter matrix:: This would give us a 15% extension in range at 79% optimal resolution.

Fae -> No. They are studying the planet. I'd think they'd be low, just above the atmosphere, to optimize sensors.

Edward Svejk -> ::Peers over Schultz's shoulder::

Fae -> But I don't know their study focus. We might want to call our guest.

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods, glumly:: Aye.

Karl A. Schultz -> + T'Prehl+ How much long range sensor range would you like?

Cptn Swain -> ::Had hoped not to involve him::

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: If you'd be so kind as to call him up.

T'Prehl -> +Karl+ As much as you and Mr. Admiran can muster

Fae -> :: Tries to see if the low point in the orbit is anywhere interesting. ::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Karl:: If you’re interested in exploring longer-term solutions, we could look into making improvements to the array’s hardware itself.

Fae -> +Svejk+ Edward Svejk to the bridge, please.

Taryn Castell -> Just don't run over any toes or feet. Shins are okay. They won't have to come down here for that.

Tandaris Admiran -> This could prove a fascinating project. There are some new experimental alloys that we could use to create a more efficient receiver….

Rue Wydown -> All right, mate, I need to get back to work. ::revs the energy:: I'll try to avoid damaging the ship, or other crew members. No promises though

Edward Svejk -> ::Jumps, slightly startled:: Ah... was... should I... now?!

Ryan Mesner -> ::watching over the data feeds incase anything new popped up::

Karl A. Schultz -> That's good long term solution, but we need an improvement in long range sensor now to locate the other ship

Tandaris Admiran -> Right. There’s only so much we can do with software, as dear as it is to my heart. The 15% is the best I can give you without dropping the resolution below 75%, at least with these tweaks. ::strokes his chin, wondering if there is another option::

Edward Svejk -> +Fae+ Ah, ahem. Y-yes! Right there! Just... no, never mind.

Fae -> +Svejk+ Acknowledgement acknowledged. :: amused ::

Taryn Castell -> ACTION> Rue's scooter jumps forward with that rev and slams into the door.

Cptn Swain -> ::Swain returned to his seat atop the Perch, wondering if he could talk Fleet into redesigning the bridge to be less ostentatious::

Edward Svejk -> ::Hurriedly exits Engineering and heads the wrong way::

Cptn Swain -> (( 5 Minute warning ))

Karl A. Schultz -> Then let's do it... 15% extension in long range sensor is sufficient for now

Edward Svejk -> ::Confused, tries to find his way to the bridge::

T'Prehl -> ::raises a curious brow::

Rue Wydown -> Oops. ::frowns;: You sure this is safe?

T'Prehl ->

Taryn Castell -> If you know how to drive, yes. Just don't try to squeal the tires or anything.

Edward Svejk -> ::Enters bridge, clears throat::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::turns:: So that was Svejk, eh?

T'Prehl -> ::Nods:: Mr. Svejk.

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks over:: Ah, Doctor.

Rue Wydown -> All right. Here we go. ::cracks her knuckles and gives it another go::

Karl A. Schultz -> :: nods to Tandaris :: yes, that was Svejk, the ethicist...

Fae -> :: Glances back to the throat clearer, and nods ::

Edward Svejk -> Ah, L-C-Captain! Yes? I... Fae...

Cptn Swain -> ::He blinked for a moment, recovering gracefully::

Fae -> The captain requested your presence. Your destination... is in a somewhat unusual orbit.

Tandaris Admiran -> I wonder what brought him down here.

Karl A. Schultz -> I can't wait until we map the star cluster....

Fae -> :: Plots the situation in a corner of the main screen ::

Edward Svejk -> Unusual... Captain?

Tandaris Admiran -> ::implements the proposed adjustments to the pre-filter matrix:: There.

Cptn Swain -> ::nods:: Aye. They appear to be in an elliptical orbit, rather unusual, and their power levels are low. They have responded to any of our hails, either.

Edward Svejk -> ::Turns towards main screen, turns back towards Swain, turns once more towards main screen::

Karl A. Schultz -> I have no idea....

Taryn Castell -> I hope the doors open after that. ::Waves them open so Rue can shoot out into the corridor.::

Rue Wydown -> ::putt putt putt out of medical towards the lift:: Yes, definitely need someone to trick out my ride.

Cptn Swain -> ::Head motions towards T'Prehl:: We have a probe in orbit now, and we're getting some more telemetry, but I am a wee bit concerned.

Karl A. Schultz -> how about the long term sensor extension? Is it ready?

Edward Svejk -> Probe? What kind of probe?! I wasn’t informed of a probe!

Cptn Swain -> ::Blinks::

Cptn Swain -> A class-1.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Karl:: Yes, I just brought the modification online. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve if it isn’t sufficient.

Ryan Mesner -> We launched it to get a better sensor read of the Augustine.

T'Prehl -> ::Nods:: A Class I probe that we launched fairly recently.

Cptn Swain -> ::Glances to Mesner, hadn't planned on explaining himself any further to his guest.::

Edward Svejk -> Why... sensors? It's a ship! Our ship!

Rue Wydown -> ::enters the lift:: Bridge, please. Oh, I wonder if this has back up sounds.

Karl A. Schultz -> I'll inform the T'Prehl + ( T'Prehl) Chief Engineer and I have increased the long term sensor range by 15% but the resolution is down to 80%

Cptn Swain -> ACTION> It does.

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Fae -> :: paused ::

T'Prehl -> ::Paused::

Fae -> Beeep. Beeeep. Beeeep.

Karl A. Schultz -> * paused *

Edward Svejk -> ::Posed::

T'Prehl -> It's not one of those talking back up systems is it? "Warning! This lift is backing up!"

Cptn Swain -> lol

Cptn Swain -> Now the big question is, can she take that thing on away missions?

Ryan Mesner -> I'll put some phaser emitters on it

Fae -> I am a -5 miles per hour wheelchair.

Cptn Swain -> Do we have a shuttle that's got a lift in it.

Ryan Mesner -> She'll be right as rain.

Rue Wydown -> Oh, great idea Mesner

Cptn Swain -> Uhh boy.

Fae -> Shields too?

Rue Wydown -> Oh, a Jett pack instead?

Cptn Swain -> ::mutters::

Ryan Mesner -> Anything world shattering in announcements, I have to bounce.

Cptn Swain -> Alright, before that thing gets a cloaking device...

Cptn Swain -> Yes...

Cptn Swain -> In light of the holiday next week, and travel plans by one half of the GM team...

Rue Wydown -> Happy Birthday again Ryan :D

KhreRiovtRex -> and is illegal hrrau au sector...

Taryn Castell -> Happy birthday, Ryan!

Cptn Swain -> There will be no Excalibur next week.

Taryn Castell -> ::passes him the drugs for the headache he's going to have tomorrow.::

Karl A. Schultz -> it's the easter Sunday

Edward Svejk -> Ham Sunday

Cptn Swain -> What happens in the Gamma Quadrant, t'Rex, stays in the the Gamma Quadrant ;)

Ryan Mesner -> Alright, well I'll see you all in two weeks.

Ryan Mesner -> See ya!

Charlotte Matsumura -> Tell that to the guys at HQ that lost their jobs. ;)

Cptn Swain -> We will pick up the 15th, where we left off tonight.

Charlotte Matsumura -> Night, folks!

Cptn Swain -> lol Charlotte

Rue Wydown -> G'night folks :D

Cptn Swain -> Night everyone!
