U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1311 STARDATE 52503.03

After a week at Disney World the crew has returned to the Manticore, fresh off of an extensive repair. Now the crew resettles in their normal routine and prepares for their next mission.

normal?

Why you bite Klingon?

TBS was however long we had left at the park. 5-6 days, something like that.

::in the RR reading over the repair log from the station::

::somewhat still ticked about being arrested at the park::

Ah so good to be home....

::back on the Manticore, in CetOps making sure the cetaceans are settled in::

Ja, the vacation was great but I'm glad to be back.

:: Feeling both relaxed and depressed ::

::lying on the bottom of the tank still kind of pouting::

:::at TAC Looking over repair logs to know where/what will break first::

Helmut.....Is it not good to be back home?

::settling in, also going over his copy of the repair log::

::feet up on his desk in the Security Office::

::in his office, reviewing the data he's assembled on the Disney World brainwashing process, it's side effects and reversal and pondering writing a medical journal article on it.::

::sitting in his office in Science reading paperwork::

He's just doing his best lobster impersonation.

Now, sug, you can't keep pouting like this.

Ugh, I ate too many lobsters there.

:: Is sitting in the observation lounge with a coffee, reading over the repair logs on a Padd ::

I hope you'll eventually get over it. Gotta come up for air sooner or later. But I am glad you're all settled in nicely.

I hate ferengis.

:::Tucks a stray hair back up, talks to Faldek without looking up:: do you know our ETA for departure?

Actually it's just Ferengi, same singular and plural.

:: settles down at the Computer systems diagnostic workstation in Main Engineering....glad she is NOT a Disney Princess ::

Nein! Leave me alone!

::dolphin giggles as she swims off::

::looks up:: At some point. You know the CG only tells that stuff to your beloved.

:: Is also reading over the repair logs ::

That makes two of us... you know, we do still have the recipe for that Ferengi ear irritant in our databanks...

Welp! ::stands up, padd in hand::

Helmut, I have concluded they are among the lowest of land creatures.

Oh yeah, Be sure to make me a vial, I'd like to keep some with me at all times in case we ever come across him again.

:::Evil smile:: you are right

Was that Ferengi Arrested?

Well, I gotta go get back to the science lab.

I hate their stupid big ears!

::heads out of the security office and heads to the TL:: +Armory+ Any kind of replenishments please submit them asap to the inbox.

That's never stopped him before.

:::walks around the TAC Console and over to the RR doors, Hits the chime twice::

+Pilot+ Aye Commander.

I'll be sure to make some more of that stuff.

From what I heard he wasn't. I don't know why he was let free.

::waves and heads back to the bridge::

9:11 PM

Latinum makes the universe go 'round.

9:11 PM

::then she leaves::

Incredible! Is this a case of the land dwellers sticking up with each other? And they wonder why we are suspiscious of them.

Maybe, Helmuth, you could send him a bio bomb package that makes him grow excessive amounts of hair. Would you like that Helmuth?

ooh, a hairy Ferengi...

I do not vish to do science right now.

:: Sips his coffee, still reading through the Padd ::

:::hit the RR chime again::

Oh dear, he's really got it bad right now.

::takes the TL up to the science lab::

:: Is basically studying Manticore schematics to learn the ship and some alterations to the ship computer cores for the special work it does ::

Come in. ::sips coffee::

;::Slips into the RR, waits for the door to close::

Hmm, ja for sure. I hope his brain wasn't too broken after all that.

Doesn't look like they slipped us any new toys. That's a bummer.

my lack of tan lines..... is not a bummer

::makes some notes on a PADD, continues reviewing brainwashing data::

Well I did get quite a lot done at that place. I have made progress on our Away Team equipment for the future. Still, more to be done

That's what happens on a private beach. ::winks::

Ooh, that's nice. That EVA suit thing?

::steps off the lift and heads into the lab::

Ooh, so we get to go on away missions too?!

::walks over to his desk, leans on it:: Our ETA for departure or do we have time for inspection?

I hope so! That vould be nice.

You can inspect. I'm waiting for Jaffee to call.

::Hand on hips:: I can't inspect myself for tan lines..where is the fun in that

I have been trying to get a Power system capable of maintaining a field to hold an aqueous film over us.... Commander Bren Faliver's work greatly helped my own design. That Land Lover is a smart individual I do respect!

3

Ja, I like the cut of his jib.

What's a jib?

So much power is used to maintain the field geometry and the field itself.

9:19 PM

:: starts babbling techno facts to noone in particular ::

::looks up:: Huh? Oh, that kind of inspection. ::smirks::

::Tilts head:: Oh yeah that kind

Don't get mad at me. You caught me I was working.

Maybe it's a fish or something?

:: Checking over the repairs ::

Sven, I do believe....you might want to discuss a trial use of Commander Bren's mobile system....I could not fault the design mechanically. It just needs to be tested on one of our smaller friends here.

::checks on some of her experiments she was working on::

One of the dolphins? Sure, I don't see why not. We just need a safe environment to conduct the test in.

::Smiles:: you look nice.. all hard at work behind that big desk

Yes. I can sign of on the engineering...Now we need to test it with Science.

:: exits her workstation and walks over to the " Pool Table "

Maybe pitch the idea with Erich or Bren, I'm sure they'll be interested.

::Stares at a PADD confused. He turns his head slightly. He furrows his brow. After a few seconds he winces and flips it right-side up::

Sven, you are the senior officer here in CetOps....all I can do is support the move to test it. Unless Commander Bren does not want us to...but I find that hard to believe

::smiles:: It's pretty lonely behind this desk too.

Commander Jaenke is the Raktajino anygood aboard Manticore?

::Pulls up published medical journal articles on brainwashing to compare to what he has gathered about Disney World's techniques::

Depends on the blend

:::Moves a few things out of her way and climbs over the desk, whispers::: Better?

Wait, when did you get back?

:: smiles and makes a jesture with her index finger :: The one with the most Kick!!!

::walks out of the TL and onto the bridge, heads to the replicator:: Computer, recognize me, Raktajino my way please.

1

Much better ::pulls her in closer and kisses her::

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

::walks out of the TL and onto the bridge, heads to the replicator:: Computer, recognize me, Raktajino my way please.

(("Witness Me!!!"))

:::Snuggles in closer::

Bren Faliver

(("Witness Me!!!"))

((During my old YuGiOh days, I would say witness this! during epic moves!))

Pilot, you have the bridge.

::picks up his mug and sips his raktajino:: Aye sir.

:: Shuts off the Padd, and heads back to the bridge. Steps through the doors from the obsevation lounge and walks down to Ops ::

::up the ramp to the TL, enters::

::sits down at the TAC station with his padd and raktajino:: How do we go through so many hand phasers!

:: Raises an eyebrow as he takes his seat, tapping the console ::

I have been on board 5 days sir. I had to clear Medical with the whole, Brainwashing thing...then I had to read the welcome packet and finally I could take my spot here.

Main engineering. ::rides::

:: swims to his workstation and begins working ::

I have tried focusing on my work here and just feel...

::exits the TL and walks down the hall to the big doors and enters ME::

::Removes her Jacket and tosses it across the room:: we can let that old crow wait

You're a Betazed. Sorry about your homeworld being behind enemylines.

Lt. Thomas Harnett to McFly

" Captain, incoming communication from Admiral Jaffee "

::takes the lift up to the bridge::

::starts reading a journal article about Romulan brainwashing techniques::

::looks at Harnett:: Ooo.

::Grumbles::: speak of the devil

:: turns to see a Familiar face enter Main Engineering :: Ah it is Commander Faldek!

+Armory+ Make sure all phaser rifle batteries are good to go. Any that need replacement..send it to the inbox.

::digs his tongue in one more time then pushes her away:: Alright, gotta work.

::spots the person he wanted to see, approaches:: Lieutenant JG Sierra Robinson. ::nods to the chief::

::sips coffee::

::Climbs out from behind the desk, one more peck.. then steps back::

+Pilot+ Aye sir, I am in the process now. (edited)

Glad to see you as yourself sir. :: to Faldek ::

Captain McFly to Harnett

I'll take it in here.

I don't believe you'd know me as myself, but thank you.

Lt. Thomas Harnett to McFly

" Understood, sir "

Well I am no Jasmine for sure. :: hopes Chief Jaenke read to report ::

Yeah, just the news I needed Sierra.

Taps the Ops console, transferring the comm from Jaffee to McFly's desk console

::hands her a PADD:: Your updated living assignment. Also your access has been granted.

:: to Jaenke :: I am certain the fleet will take back Betazed....just needed the ships.

::picks up her jacket and slips it on slowly::

Doctor Orrak is gone. :: he said flatly ::

Ooh! I have been upgraded from " Read Only " Status! Yes!!!

So you enjoyed working with us so much on Disney World that you came here for more.

::appears on McFly's desltop display:: Captain, welcome back. I heard you ran into an old friend while on shore leave.

::enters the bridge and takes a seat in Science II::

:: Has PADD in hand smiles ...then stops smiling when Erich Jaenke mentions Doctor Orrak not knowing what to say ::

Enjoy your bunk.

::sips his raktajino:: I really missed our replicator.

I also have not heard from my parents, but father would have taken preparations.

::sees Kansas still in the room teasing him:: We sure did. I don't know how we keep running into him. He's unfortunately one of the slimiest Ferengi I've ever come across.

((Did someone say Ferengi??)))

I'm kidding.

::makes notes as he reads journal article::

:: looks to Faldek then back ot Erich Jaenke :: Sorry I did not know Doctor Orrak.

::settles in and grabs a glass of ratkajino from a yeoman:::

:: noting conversations have crossed she looks puzzled ::

::looks over his replicator menu in his quarters from the TAC console, preparing his dinner so he can push a button:: (edited)

We're keeping an eye on him but he has certain benefactors within the Federation that are willing to turn a blind eye for what he can give them. One day we'll find that one thing they can't overlook and we'll get him.

I know everyone here will look forward to that day.

Keep up Robinson. I was making a joke, and Jaenke is lamenting the death of his significant other.

My Condolences Chief Jaenke .

::mumbling to himself as he taps:: Ooo. That steak was good, medium rare. With those potatoes and the aparagus.

Well I suppose she's probably still labeled as MIA, but I'm pretty sure given the circumstances that she was executed long ago.

4

::pulls up another window checking his stores:: Do I still have the 2309...hmm.

::Takes a seat on his couch:::

Aye. As far as your next assignment. I'm sending you a packet that you need to read up on. It's too much for me to relay in a brief meeting. This assignment is highly classified which you'll soon understand.

Understood. Is this something I need to keep eyes only?

:: ponders if she is supposed to be hearing his ...is this a classified mission of some sort that went wrong? ::

Well, keep up the good work. ::turns on his heel and heads out::

I have one crate left of 2309! For the love of Kahless.

::enters the TL:: Bridge.

::pondering::

Well sir if you need me to work on anything it appears I can now. :: Offers Chief Jaenke the PADD Commander Faldek gave her ::

:: Raises an eyebrow at E.J. :: Bloodwine, I presume?

Not so much from your crew but it mustn't leak from the ship, which hasn't been a problem in the past so far. This is the kind of mission Special Ops was designed for. Everything you need to know is in the packet so do your homework.

Yes. I try to keep some.. ::to Thomas::

On it. McFly out.

::exits the TL, onto the bridge::

:: Takes the padd ::

::looks at the TL:: Welcome back Commander. I stand relieved.

While I was down there I avoided everyone.

Hello again.

::sees the information on his desktop display and starts looking through it; Looks over at KK:: Sorry, babe, fooling around will have to wait for tonight.

Sounds like we are in for some fun then?

So how big was that guy that stunned you, like 162 cm?

Well that may of been a good thing.... you heard what happened to several of us. on that insane park planet.

I don't know, they took me out from behind..

9:51 PM

P'TaQ.

I hope so. I hope it's not something boring like diplomats.

Head on a swivel next time.

I will remember that.

Probably shorter than that. That guy was pretty small bit wiley.

By the way, do you have a guy you get your spirits from? ::to Commander Faldek::

but you look so handsome in your dress uniform

::clicks on the next article in his research::

::looks at sensor readings from the science console::

::looks at Annika:: they knew better to not face me. I was ready to pounce.

I do, but I don't talk about such things on duty. We can talk about it after shift.

A bit yes. I could not face anyone.

::smiles:: I can put that on any time. (edited)

::nods:: Sure.

::Stands up, walks over to the desk:: I will return to my station then

Yes, too bad they took you from behind. I didn't even see him coming.

::Gives him one more kiss::

::pushes a button removing the windows he had and bringing up TAC stuff::

::takes her hand and pulls her down and kisses her for a good minute::

::picks up his mug and moves to TAC2::

::takes a seat in The Chair::

Grieving is not an easy process . Given the family you have on Betazed and what happened recently I see why you wanted time alone. But I don't reccommend isolating oneself forever. Sharing a cup of Raktajino is an easy first step!

::Giggles and huggles him:: enjoy your read Captain

Everything ready to get underway at a moments notice Lieutenant Harnett?

::takes a breath and another sip of coffee then gets to reading::

::Exits the RR::

::sips some ratkajino::

:: Looks up from his console :: Aye, Commander

::walks back over to the TAC station, slightly out of breath::

You're just now coming out of there?

::looks at KK:: Well well.

we had a long talk ::Looks at Faldek::

Did you stay hydrated?

Uh huh. I can smell you.

1

::looks at Faldek:: Commander!

we were going over specs

Well if you need to talk I am around....but I am not a counselor...I just write code and debug things.

::looks at EJ::

Right right.

::raises an eyebrow while reading::

::shakes his head at Faldek like bad Commander::

:::Takes her seat::

::looks at KK:: It feels like I haven't seen you in a very long time.

Oooh and Pizza helps too! Because it usually takes more than one person to finish a pizza!!

2

::Reads over a new word; sounds it out:: Syn-te-tisk-a, hmm.

I had that once.

::smiles::

:::Sips her Coffee, still kinda warm::

Hey Kansas.

Yes Commander?

Maybe you should take Pilot under your wing and train him a little better in hand to hand.

::looks at Faldek::

:: Raises an eyebrow, turning to look towards Faldek and E.J. ::

:::insulted::: I believe his skills are beyond expert

Let me know if you need help eating a pizza!!! :: smiles and heads back to her workstation ::

::just looks at Faldek::

What?

( I must depart )

::sips his raktajino::

If you have tried any of my training Holo-programs you would know how much you lack in your own skills

1

Did nobody send you the security video of what happened on Disney World?

I did get. copy of your little sing - a- long

No no, the one after that. In the police station. I took out like 20 guys.

Well...you're like a Super Commander.

10:03 PM

Who didn't get attacked from behind with taser!

no... no that one didn't come through

I am super. Thanks.

::calms himself down::

10:04 PM

You're trying to push my buttons like you did back in the day with Captain Harnett.

I was trained well in button pushing.

you are ruining my good mood Commander

:: Sighs at the mention of his brother ::
