+SENIOR STAFF+ Meeting in 10 minutes.

::in his office in sickbay, hears the page for the meeting::

::In the science lab, when she hears the comm. Heads to the turbolift::

::Logs off her console and heads to the Lounge::

::Stands up in his office, unsure if it will ever stop feeling like T'Prise's desk::

Enjoy the meeting.

:::Stops for a coffee::

:: swims around the CetOps Engineering Console :: Sven are you a senior Staff member. I think you qualify.

Bren Faliver

::Stands up in his office, unsure if it will ever stop feeling like T'Prise's desk::

((That's a deep cut))

::exits sickbay and heads to the turbolift::

::enters the turbolift::

I guess that means I am in charge of the bridge.

if you can handle it

But I cannot survive outside of za tank.

::mumbles:: Oh, lord.

I was forced into being the XO. I am overly qualified now. ::grins::

((We'll have Sven on video comm. Like Voyager's Doctor in the early seasons))

::steps into the briefing room, from somewhere::

(oooh)

9:11 PM

::Exits the lift and enters the briefing room::

::enters turbolift::

enjoy the chair

::watches the feed thru video link::

I am activating a a holoscreen for you sir......so you can particpate....:: does so ::

:::Heads into the Lounge, takes her seat::

. Sounds good.

::exits TL and heads to briefing room::

:: Gets up from Ops and heads into the lounge, taking a seat ::

::takes a seat as well::

:: Walks the ship for a bit ::

:: Working on the engines ::

::moves to the CC:: Sanchez, monitor Ops while the meeting is going on please.

+ Erich Jaenke + Pardon me sir...there is a senior staff meeting where your attendance is required.

::Pops out of a Jefferies Tube hatch on the side of the bridge, stands up, straightens out his uniform, flicks a fleck of flour from lunch off his chest, and heads to the ready room::

::takes a seat in the briefing room::

::attaches the ops screen to his helm control:: Aye sir.

( most impressive Bren...most impressive )

::watches Bren come out of a jefferies tube::

:::Playing with her knife:::

(( I had no choice, everyone else tied up the turbolifts

))

((as long as its clean with your crumbs and stuff))

((There is a trail))

:: swims around :: Oh dear I hope he got the message....

ACTION> PUSHES TIME FORWARD TO MEETING TIME BECAUSE WHAT IS TIME ANYWAY

:::Slips coffee::

::sips coffee::

::walks into the lounge behind the bridge; double takes seeing an orca on screen; forgets about the CetOps tank; walks over to the main screen and taps some buttons::

::coughs quietly:: that's not a screensaver, Captain

::takes a seat at the table::

((McFly playing whose ship is it anyway walking into the lounge))

:: Sits ::

(Gila as well?)

:: Looks over as McFly walks in ::

::watches the Captain interact with the screen::

Ladies and gentleman, the great experiment... Prometheus. ::Brings up a picture on the screen without an Orca face::

::crosses his leg and just monitors everything::

looks around::

:::Glances up as McFly enters::

Oooooh!

::his lustful eyes gaze at her beauty::

:: Looks at the screen ::

I have read about this class.

I'm not impressed by them

mmmm pointy

::clears his throat:: The USS Prometheus, classified as a deep space tactical vessel. This is the Starfleet corps of engineers second attempt at a Borg killer after the failure of the Defiant.

Sorenson, it was for warp field dynamics.

::looks at the screen, listens to the briefing::

::nods impressively::

::Thinks that it looks like a flying trowel, and what is this excess with 4 nacelles?::

I saw her at Utopia Planitia, but she wasn't complete.

:: Sees an officer through a video link ::

Cdr. Faldek

I saw her at Utopia Planitia, but she wasn't complete.

((That's what she said))

::Hears Faldek and looks back at the picture:: Well she's all dressed up now and ready to paint the quadrant red.

:: is happy that CetOps is participating in this brief ::

:: Brings up a PiP feed of Sven ::

Captain McFly

::his lustful eyes gaze at her beauty::

(( ))

I am guessing there is a problem with it then

::clears his throat again:: She comes complete with regenerative shielding, ablative hull armor and her secret weapon, multi-vector assault mode.

Hm, seems complicated.

::under his breath:: Yessss, now tell us about the sensors

Bren Faliver

::under his breath:: Yessss, now tell us about the sensors

((I would if I could find that information

)) (edited)

Multi-vector assault mode, eh?

:: Listens ::

No clue what it is. I spent the better part of six hours trying to get into engineering documents, but they're locked up tight.

::stays quiet::

:: works on staffing reports...perhaps Sven will share the details after the meeting if he is allowed to ::

::Lifts one hand::I could find some information out... maybe

So why am I telling you about this, this... ::looks over at the screen again:: this marvel of art, bruan and science? (edited)

:: Enters where the non-humanoid officers...swim ::

::looks up interested as she takes another sip of coffee::

:: notes a beeper suggesting a visitor has entered CetOps ::

9:26 PM

:: swims over to the airlock ::

:: Sitting in the mess hall eating some new food choices, but nearly all choice were new ::

Uhm, The Prometheus was on a shakedown cruise along the edge of the Alpha Quadrant. Thirty-two hours ago she failed to check in at her scheduled time. All attempts at contact have failed. Her escorts have also gone silent. No indication of why. Starfleet is fearing the worst but hoping for the best.

::watches the humanoid::

:: Looks at the large tank, wondering how the water does not get displaced if the inertial dampeners fail. Guess that would be the least of their problems ::

ah.....it says you are Dr. Gila Orrak....welcome. Apologies our senior officer Sven is in a senior staff meeting at the moment.

::Listens as he punches up a starchart of that area::

Our mission is to find her, preferably in tact. But at the very least, they need to know what happened to her. As a reminder, we have a new dorsal module full of experimental sensors and enhanced comm arrays. We may need them.

1

Yes, how can ve help yoo?

Any questions?

Should I contact intel on this ship and it's mission

. Isn't that area fairly near Romulan space? How many escort ships did it have?

"Yes, somehow I forgot this location existed. Not the normal liquid I would swim in however."

((Those damn Romulans))

That is why you are wearing the required wetsuit.....

::Still listening::

hoomans tend to forget we exist here too. I didn't think you were able to scuba dive. Hmm, interesting.

::Kansas:: Go ahead and see what you can find. The engineering corps has been very tight lipped but see what you can find.

"I am not wearing anything yet." :: standing there ::

right, on it

Ah, it's hard to see in this tank your outer wearings.

:::taps on her PADD:::

::Sven:: Yes, good call. They weren't straddling the Romulan boarder but they were about a good couple of days away from it.

errumph.....

We haven't had any Romulan sightings so far but, you know, cloaks and all.

"It can be refreshing to see non-biped entities. I presume I am hearing an approximation of your voice through the universal translation?"

We're still 12 hours away from their last known location, so we have time to prepare.

Hm I see. If the worst did indeed happen, there'd probably be a debris field somewhere.

I would expect, yes.

:: laughs :: "I can swim very well, actually."

CetOps requires non Cetaceans to wear wetsuits to ensure or habitat's water quality if you require entry

Ja, pretty much. Unless you can speak Norwegian or communicate through clicks.

::snores lightly::

Lieutenant "Bart" Banks

CetOps requires non Cetaceans to wear wetsuits to ensure or habitat's water quality if you require entry

((Don't pee in the pool!))

( right? )

Maybe you can get your pal Annika to teach you.

"Very well." :: goes to the panel to select the wet suit ::

Alright, unless there's anything further, you're dismissed.

::hears snoring::

"I will not need lessons."

::nods::

Bren, hang back for a second.

:: Gets her suit on ::

Hmm, interesting. ::closes the comm::

::leaves the briefing room::

::nods, stands up, and exits the lounge::

::taps on the command chair console making an alert appear on the helm console of a possible collision::

Welp, work to prepare for again.

:: Gets up and heads back to the bridge, slipping back into his seat at Ops ::

::wakes up panicking:: EVASIVE!

:: Gets her breather attached ::

((He must have taken the dog out))

At ease Sanchez. And wake up.

I'm here

+Sven+ We should probably start enhancing sensors to scan for debris. Maybe try to see if there's any Romulan disruptor signals?

((No, was reading Memory Alpha about nacelles))

1

:: Enters the airlock, watching the water rise ::

::hears Sanchez and raises an eyebrow; heads into the lift to head back to sickbay::

Sorry sir. ::wakes up::

Bren Faliver

((No, was reading Memory Alpha about nacelles))

((These ships got some sexy legs on them))

::looking at McFly::

;;grumbles:::

::swims to where the other cetaceans are::

:: swims around:: What is your purpose here Doctor?

:: As soon as the door opens she shots out like a cannon, quickly circling the closes cetacean ::

+Annika+ Ja, that's probably a good start

::shakes his head, as he stands noting the exit of the lounge folks::

::Looks back at Faldek; looks around then back to him:: What?

::exits TL and heads back to sickbay::

:: Taps away at Ops ::

::unattaches ops controls from Helm::

::heads to the Science II terminal on the bridge::

::leaves the briefing room::

:::Walks over to McFly:: I might have to contct dark Ops contacts

::standing in front of the CC, looking at the viewscreen::

Ah Sven, where is the ship going now?

Well don't go too far down the rabbit hole. Chances are we're going to find a debris field.

Vell... ::looks at Gila swimming around::... it looks like ze hoomans lost one of their new toys and ve need to go find it. Hopefully, it didn't blow up.

understood

::goes down the ramp, looking at Pilot::

::remains seated::

::Thwapps him on the rear:: Captain

new toys....a big toy or little toy?

::works with the Cetaceans and notices Gila:: +Gila+ Oh hey Gila, what brings you in CetOps? I didn't know you can dive.... we should go diving sometime.

::enters sickbay::

::liked it but knows it's inappropriate; doesn't care::

. Big toy... very pointy.

:: Swimming very quickly in the water :: "I have spent a good deal of time in water, though this is a little cold for my tastes."

;;;exit the lounge and heads to the tac console::

::turns to see Faldek walking down the ramp:: I stand relieved. She is all yours. Nothing happened.

The Doctor has not disclosed why she is here sir...

. Ja, it needs to be cold... Banks here doesn't do vell in varm vater... him, being a beluga.

::moves back to TAC 2::

Ya don't say.

+Sorenson+ "I forgot this was here honestly." :: darts past one of Sven's eyes ::

::Sits down next to Bren:: I've had a chance to talk with Pilot but not you. I wanted to personally commend you on your handling of Manticore while I was... well, gone. I know that's not something you particularly wanted.

::takes a seat:: Get the sensor suite warmed up. OPS, make sure it has whatever power is needed for extended operations. (edited)

((Don't beat him again Bren.

))

Thank you, Captain. It was certainly different, heh

"I had a lot of friends that swam, something to pass the time."

:: Nods :: Aye, Commander.

+Gila+ Ahh, I see. Well, enjoy your visit. If you need to do a check up on them, the aqua scanners are in the locker you past just before the ladders into the tank.

::Taps away, moving power to the sensor suite ::

:::Pulls out a black Data crystal and Pops into her console::

::begins making some preparations in sickbay in case they find the Prometheus and/or its escorts and there are injuries::

. The water does get varmer in the dolphins' section of the tank.

I bet. Well I put a commendation on your record and I'll be keeping you in mind for command opportunities in the future.

"I can tell."

Aw, I appreciate that. Just don't go getting kidnapped -- or worse -- anytime soon?

::looks at Sorenson:: Commander...

:: Enters engineering :: Well, time to check and re-check each and every system.

No promises. ::smirks::

Ve orcas can enter both sections, but the dolphins and Banks here are separated by the pressure lock.

Yes sir? ::to Faldek::

ehh.....Sven...anything I need to do to ready CetOps....or shall I confer with Main Engineering on preparations?

Get the dorsal sensor suite warmed up and searching for our missing ship.

::looks at KK:: Anything interesting to share from the briefing?

Tell me EJ, how did the Captian get snatched

Will do, sir. I'm working with CetOps to do just that.

((I'll leave it up to you, we can time jump now or just continue here and do that next week))

Good. Thank you.

((You know that taxes the temporal engines))

Ve need to ready the sensors to search for our missing ship. You'll probably need to co-ordinate with them to prepare the dorsal sensor suite.

::::Put eye into the ret-scan:::

::nods::

Very well.... I will work with Mr. Jaenke.

::pauses:: We were leaving, got attacked, he jumped on the alien's back without my knowledge and i went to attack got kicked into a shuttle console and launched against my will.

If you execuse Me Doctor I must work....:: swims away ::

ACTION> TIME MOVES FORWARD 12 HOURS

:: Sleeping now ::

Do you know how many time I put my life in from of A9's

ACTION> MANTICORE ARRIVES AT THE COORDINATES; A VISIBLE DEBRIS FIELD IS SEEN ON SCREEN

:: Wish he was sleeping now ::

::sees the debris field::

Numerous times, I'd imagine.

::sleeping as well::

everytime, it was my life's work

::Sitting at Science-1, drinking tea-sludge::

Mister Harnett, scan the field.

Aye.

:: Still on the bridge at Ops ::

That does not look pleasant.....

it was my mission

:: Scans :: Aye sir, scanning

::unsure of where this is going::

::stands up from XO chair:: (edited)

Absolutely.

Erich?

::In his office in sickbay::

:: he jumps :: Ah, yes, what?

my mission. now if to put my life infront of McFly's

No, it doesn't. Ve'd better start scanning for that pointy ship. Start by focusing on the newer materials it was comprised of.

Yes it is.

my life for his

+Bridge+ Can we bring some of it on board?

+Erich+ Sure, if you think it would help.

Sir, I am detecting three different ships in this debris field, two starfleet signatures, one Romulan.

Let's also separate the Starfleet and non-Starfleet debris as well.

And while protecting the ship as well. I think Commander Faldek shares that responsibility as well as XO.

So, they were here.

:: to Sven :: Once the humanoids begin scanning the wreckage we will be able to determine the origin of the debris quickly

should we colllect a ssample to be sure

Romulans...

That's what I'm hoping for.

::turns to the viewscreen when he hears Romulans::

::Gets up and walks up the ramp to Bren:: Commander, can we get a better reading on those signatures. I'd like to know if one of them is the Prometheus.

::manning a terminal, checking the debris::

::starts scanning for cloaked vessels near us just in case::

+ Erich Jaenke + Lieutenant Banks here...I am ready to assist on chemical analysis of the debris..

Right away

9:54 PM

::Fingers go tappity-tappity::

+Banks+ That will be helpful.

Mister Harnett, start checking for any warp signatures.

:: Nods and starts scanning ::

::to KK:: scanning for cloaked vessels.

Good news ::raises his voice like it's a question::.... there are no traces of the advanced materials expected from the Prometheus. These are, unfortunately, two other Federation ships. Perhaps its escorts? Still working on identifying them.

::filters the sensors to separate for Starfleet and alien materials::

:::Getting data unload into her crystal::

:: swims to Inga :: any escape pods?

Scan the weapons residue on the Starfleet and Romulan hull pieces.

Kansas Kenickie

:::Getting data unload into her crystal::

((What's next, reiki??

:P))

::assisting to try to identify the wreckage::

::pulls up another scanning window:: Aye Commander.

No escape pods... yet.

::checking for weapons residues on the hulls::

I guess that's kind of good news. Still sucks we lost two ships.

Unfortunate, I believe I can identify part of the dorsal module of another Nebula class.

::Wonders, for some reason, whether the CetOps officers can enter a holodeck filled with water::

:: Looks up from Ops :: I have a warp signature, it appears the ship was attempting to mask it, but it was not done properly.... it will be hard to follow, if we can follow it...

::to Faldek:: Scans show phaser and disruptor damage. But the romulan ship looks like it exploded and damaged the other two ships.

:::Scans for warp signatures::

:: swims back to his station awaiting for the debris samples for analysis ::

Whatever did this was oddly thorough, unless we find the bridge's dedication plaque in the debris, I'm not sure we're going to get positive ID. The pieces are just too small....

( I must depart folks goodnight )

::kicks off a scan for brass or bronze sheets::

Lieutenant "Bart" Banks

( I must depart folks goodnight )

((night!))

(Night))

Oh-OH! ::Stands up:: Captain, we have company, but either they are ignoring us or don't realize we're here.... whatever they are. This doesn't quite match... I think it's Romulan. Slight chance its Ferengi...

10:02 PM

::to himself:: but the Ferengi aren't even supposed to have... oh, maybe those... what are they called...

Ferengi
