[18:09] <CPCO_LoraKor> Evening everyone.  :)  As most of you know, we're just 
coming off a series of Traxati sims.  Tonight's going to be a bit of a change of 
pace.  ;)
[18:09] * Savant pays close attention
[18:10] <CPCO_LoraKor> We've got several new faces, so I want to start by 
welcoming them.  :)  Doc will be playing 2nd Lieutenant Marrissa Morgan, who 
will be joining the Medical staff.  :)  Her character's the previously unknown 
primary Marine Medic.  ;)
[18:10] <CLMC_Ironside> Welcome, guys!

[18:11] <CPCO_LoraKor> Finally, all the ship trembles to see that Savant is back 
with us, if only for tonight.  ;)
[18:11] <ENen_Farley> Hello
[18:11] <CPCO_LoraKor> Are you back, Mousie, or just tormenting us?  ;)
[18:11] <Savant> hopefully for more than tonight
[18:11] * Savant grins a sly, evil grin
[18:11] <Savant> are you sure you want me back?
[18:11] <LTDR_Dalton> Yes, Dalton still wishes to repay you  :)

class frigates features a holographic interface into the main computer, in much 
the same way that the Andromeda TV series now steals that idea.  ;)  Savant's 
ours.  ;)
[18:12] <Savant> i can't wait. . .
[18:12] <CPCO_LoraKor> I think that's all the new/returning faces.  :)  As I 
said, tonight's going to be a bit more relaxed than normal.  ;)

[18:13] <CoroLCARS> Stardate 240010.23: "In the Absense of Negative Proof", Part 
1, by Jester.
[18:13] <CoroLCARS> SUMMARY: Errr... that wasn't supposed to happen...
[18:13] <CoroLCARS> U.S.S. Coronado is currently making a speed run from the 
Wormwood system to Starbase 81, in the Omega Penora system.  Once we arrive, we 
are to resupply and rearm following our mission in and around the Wormwood and 
Pandemonium systems.  Torpedo banks are depleted, save for 6 quantum torpedoes 
for self-defense.  Phasers are 40% recharged.
[18:13] <CoroLCARS> While en route, a number of courier ships are intercepting 
us, bringing in new crew, supplies, or other materials needed by Task Group 5.4.  
As a result, we are currently making the run to the Starbase in a "pogo" mode, 
dropping out of slipstream every few hours to rendezvous with new courier 
ships...  We will be returning to Wormwood after rearming ourselves.

[18:50] <CRXO_Bentall> ::looks over at the Chief who is muttering under his 
breath:: Can I help you with somthing Chief?
[18:50] <L1SL_Wayne> ::walks over to the XO:: CRXO Bentall, Lt Wayne with CPO 
Tlaloco
[18:51] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> All I can do is guess that the X!chi somehow managed 
to capture a starship and used it against the Traxati... who responded in kind, 
as much as they were able.
[18:51] <Savant> the power resource problem was unforeseen. . .
[18:51] <LTDR_Dalton> SB> ::looks around the shuttle, but sees little out of the 
ordinary, save for an unusual replicator::
[18:51] <CPOTlaloco> No, sir. Just reporting for duty, sir.
[18:51] * Savant purses her lips and looks concerned for a moment
[18:51] <CRXO_Bentall> What ship are you transfering in from Chief?
[18:51] <FCaptBlokpoel> WR> ::takes a sip from the steaming cup:: We have 
encountered them before. They have not attacked or taken Federations ships 
before... Your trip through the Wormwood Gate did not reveal enough for 
conclusions to be drawn?
[18:51] <LTDR_Dalton> SB> ::walks over to the Ferengi and frowns:: I need to 
inspect your cargo bay, of course.
[18:51] <CPOTlaloco> The Enterprise, sir.
[18:52] <LTDR_Dalton> SB> ::looks at Morgan:: Does the Ferengi have anything?
[18:52] * Savant 's features smooth
[18:52] <L2dr_Morgan> SB> ::remains quiet, watching and ready if needed as she 
quietly scans::
[18:52] <CRXO_Bentall> ::raises a brow:: The Enterprise huh, Do you know Mr. 
Barnes by any chance?
[18:52] <ENen_Skylooker> M> Repair team 3> ::Walk to the CMO sir you called for 
the replicator and it's back online sir.
[18:52] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::shakes his head::  No.  We still don't have a clue 
how the X!chi capture ships... other than a guess that the initial lifeforms are 
deposited in the power conduits and then these lifeforms grow into full 
insectoids.
[18:52] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> However, it's just a theory, and could very well be 
wrong.
[18:52] <CPOTlaloco> yes sir, I had the pleasure of firing a phaser at him, sir.
[18:52] *** Arad-Doman (~Arad-Doma@id-14205.saturn.bbn.com) has left #USS-

[18:52] <CLMC_Ironside> Still a few kinks to work out, I suppose. ::looks Savant 
up and down then looks some of the program code over on his screen::
[18:52] <LTDR_Dalton> M> Nurse> ::having returned with real coffee:: +taps+ 
Thanks, but I don't need it fixed NOW!  Sick Bay out!
[18:52] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> As for the Traxati... they're not interested in the 
full ship, or the crew.  Just the warp drives.
[18:52] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[18:52] <Savant> my program has expanded significantly since last we met, Sir.
[18:52] <CRXO_Bentall> ::jaw drops momentarily:: You fired a phaser at him? And 
why would you do somthing like that?
[18:53] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> We still don't know what they're doing with the crews 
of the ships they cut in half, though.  ::works to keep his expression neutral::  
I know we haven't found any of the 124 missing from the Royal Oak, for instance.
[18:53] <CPOTlaloco> He took me and another crew member hostage and stole a 
shuttlecraft, sir.
[18:53] <FCaptBlokpoel> WR> ::nods almost pensively:: that must be one of the 
key questions... how do the X!Chi take the ships. ::looks at Lora Kor:: That is 
most.. disturbing.
[18:53] <LTDR_Dalton> M> ::taps Morgan on the shoulder:: The scans, Morgan?  
::looks at her tricorder:: Hmm ... it'll do.
[18:54] <CRXO_Bentall> ::shakes his head:: Well that's a surprising turn of 
events. I always found Barnes to be very loyal. At anyrate, I assume you have 
your transfer orders on you?
[18:54] <ENen_Skylooker> M> Repair team 3> Well it is indeed repaired. And we 
are back on our way to engineering sir. ::Trun around to eng::
[18:54] * Savant seems to sit down, though still floats a few inches from the 
ground which she perches on
[18:54] <L1SL_Wayne> ::watches the exchange of pleasantries:: Excuse me, Sir. I 
need to get back to my fighters. ::heads over to Ironside::
[18:54] <FCaptBlokpoel> WR> The Erasmus is currenlty leading a first line of 
defense against a cloud of probes that are heading specifically to Janus VI
[18:54] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::nods agreement::  We've transmitted the sensor logs 
of the Sutherland, Chicago, and the other ships captured to the Federation 
Science Council.  However, sensors were not a priority for the X!chi... in most 
cases, the ship's sensors were destroyed in Traxati attacks.
[18:54] <CPOTlaloco> ::looks at the XO:: Sir they are here- I would appreciate 
it if there was some- discretion concerning my demotion-
[18:54] <CLMC_Ironside> ::looks over and nods at Wayne, running a couple of 
Savant's program lines through the re-compiler::
[18:55] <L1SL_Wayne> ::stops by:: Sir, Lt Wayne. Do you have a moment?
[18:55] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Farley please come here.

[18:55] <LTDR_Dalton> SB> ::frowns as the Ferengi says something unkind:: (( No, 
no I suppose I don't have to check the cargo bay NOW. ))
[18:55] * Savant stands again, and says thoughtfully, somewhat distracted, "I 
will return shortly, Sir, i should probably introduce myself to the engineering 
staff."
[18:55] <ENen_Farley> E> :: goes over to Sky:: yes, sir
[18:55] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::pales despite himself::  We know one thing for sure 
-- the Traxati have the means to destroy entire planets.  If they've chosen 
Janus as a target...  ::leaves it hanging::

LtCmdr
[18:55] <CLMC_Ironside> Go ahead, Lieutenant. ::nods to Savant and turns in his 
chair to face Wayne::
[18:55] * Savant disappears with a sparkle of light
[18:55] <LTDR_Dalton> SB> ::nods his head to Morgan:: We're done here.  Let's go 
back to Sick Bay.  ::indicates Morgan's things:: Do you always carry that large 
bag around with you?  It must get rather cumbersome!
[18:55] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Savant seem to be taken less energie right?
[18:55] <L1SL_Wayne> ::frowns:: Any word on a supply drop of micro torpedos? We 
are rather short.
[18:56] <CRXO_Bentall> ::raises his brow for the unmpteenth millionth time and 
takes the PADD from the chief and begins reading:: Well now... this is 
interesting. I will take that under advisment chief. Dismissed. You go on active 
duty tomorrow until then I suggest you familiarize yourself with the ship.
[18:56] <ENen_Farley> E> yes ,sir
[18:56] * Savant ..... reappears with much more drama as it seems that a small 
supernova erupts right behind Ensigns Skylooker and Farley. But it's only savant
[18:56] <CPOTlaloco> :: Stiffens:: aye sir!
[18:56] <FCaptBlokpoel> WR> ::nods:: I know. So far they have tended to destroy 
uninhabited planets though. Then again... they never used to attack Federations 
ships unless they tampered with a hypergate.
[18:56] <L2dr_Morgan> no I don't.  ::slight chuckle:: You did grab me a full day 
before I'm actually on active duty.. I was just checking in
[18:56] <L2dr_Morgan> ::picks up her bag and walks with him::
[18:56] <Savant> BOOM
[18:57] <ENen_Farley> E>:: turns around because of the bright light:: what the 
...!
[18:57] <LTDR_Dalton> SB> Hmm ... well why didn't you just say something then? 
::rolls his eyes and leaves the shuttle bay::
[18:57] <LTEN_Oswald> E>::looks at Savant from where she's standing by her 
office door:: good morning Savant, you're gracing our presence again?
[18:57] <CPOTlaloco> ::waits for the TL, wondering what to do next::
[18:57] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> I would remind you, Fleet Captain, that Zadar was far 
from uninhabited.  825 million people lost their lives there.  Another unknown 
number were killed when the Traxati destroyed the twin homeworlds of the 
Moltarr.
[18:57] * Savant smiles and bows slightly, the image of serenity
[18:57] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Hummm??? ::Look at Farley::
[18:57] <Savant> good morning Ma'am ^_^ i trust you're well?
[18:57] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> They have no compunction about destroying inhabited 
planets.  We have to determine WHY they choose those planets.
[18:57] <CLMC_Ironside> ::reaches over and taps a few queries onto his console:: 
Looks like the microtorps are coming in on two batches...the USS Orient Express 
and the USS Integrity.  Tomorrow and Thursday.
[18:57] <CRXO_Bentall> ::rises and walks over to Ironside:: So, Colonel, what's 
the status off the cargo and crew transfers?
[18:57] <Savant> i thought i should make the Engineering staff aware of my 
current system requirements.
[18:57] <ENen_Farley> E> ::turns to Sky:: what is that?
[18:57] <FCaptBlokpoel> WR> True. But the large majority of the times they have 
gone for uninhabited planets.
[18:57] <LTDR_Dalton> *> ::over his shoulder:: Do you have a room yet?  I'm not 
really sure who's supposed to handle that.  I suppose the quartermaster, or 
something.  I just told the captain I needed an officer's quarters.
[18:58] <L2dr_Morgan> Oh I don't know ::gentling tone so it doesn't come across 
as being fascitious:: someone grabbed me by the arm and pulled me after them
[18:58] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::nods::  True enough.  There must be some reason why 
they're targeting the inhabited planets they are.
[18:58] * Savant flaots backwards a little, to give Skylooker and Farley a 
little breathing room
[18:58] <L1SL_Wayne> ::nods:: Thank you, Sir. Permission to return to the 
Fighter bay.
[18:58] <L2dr_Morgan> ::nods:: I've already got my assignment
[18:58] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Take a tricorder if you wanna know Ens.
[18:58] <FCaptBlokpoel> WR> ::takes another sip:: Would you hazard a... guess.. 
as to why?
[18:58] <CPOTlaloco> TL> ::holds it for Wayne::
[18:58] <LTDR_Dalton> *> Well, you've got to stand up for yourself!  Honestly 
... you must have come from a planet of introverts!
[18:59] <CLMC_Ironside> ::nods at Wayne:: Granted, Lieutenant.  ::brings up the 
complete supply list for Bentall:: We've gotten about half way through our list 
of rendezvous, but the Obsidian wasn't on the schedule.  We'll have to inform 
the rest of our transports we'll be slightly late.
[18:59] <Savant> i'm the process that you've been trying to kill in the 
holographic systems... my name is Savant.
[18:59] <L1SL_Wayne> TL> ::heads for TL:: Thank you
[18:59] <L2dr_Morgan> ::lips quirk in a grin:: I stand up just fine thank you
[18:59] <LTDR_Dalton> *> ::waves Morgan off:: Go get your things set up, and 
then go to the crew lounge on Deck 7, it's called Seventh Heaven.  Tell the man 
behind the bar that you're new, and he'll give you your complimentary 'Welcome 
to Hell' meal.
[18:59] <CRXO_Bentall> ::nods:: Make it so. Have you heard anything about this 
new Chief of the Boat?
[18:59] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Sorry about that. ::Smile::
[18:59] <CPOTlaloco> TL> Lieutenant, I don't know how much of that exchange you 
caught...
[18:59] * Savant gestures a wide, long arc with a hand, making a holographic 
representation of the computer's network appear in its wake
[19:00] <ENen_Farley> E> ::looks towards Savant:: Hello, sorry for any problem 
[19:00] <Savant> certainly ^_^ as you can tell by the diagram, my software is 
decentralized at the moment. . .
[19:00] <CPOTlaloco> TL> But I hope no one finds out that I was a LtCmdr. Do you 
know what I mean, sir?
[19:00] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::shakes his head::  The only time we've seen them 
respond in a uniformly hostile way is when they believe the X!chi are being 
harbored...  ::voice suddenly trails off::
[19:00] <L1SL_Wayne> TL> ::grins:: I heard a part but your secret is .safe
[19:00] <LTDR_Dalton> *> I'm being a good officer now, though ... I suppose I'll 
have to change the name of that to, 'Welcome to Coronado' meal or something less 
dire ...
[19:00] <CLMC_Ironside> ::shakes his head:: I overheard some of your 
conversation, but I was unaware that we were receiving a new Chief.  Did he say 
Barnes fired a phaser at him?
[19:00] <LTEN_Oswald> E>::sits down on the floor::
[19:00] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::looks up::  They only attacked the Task Group ships 
after we captured an X!chi colonial lifeform.
[19:00] <L2dr_Morgan> um thanks....
[19:00] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Need help to recentralize it?

[19:01] <CRXO_Bentall> ::nods:: I was unaware of it aswell. As I understand 
things he reports directly to me. He's the most senior of the enlisted crew 
aboard. Looking at his file I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on him.
[19:01] <LTDR_Dalton> *> You're a Marine, is that right?  Well, you should 
probably speak to Iron Plate.  ::grins at himself at his own joke:: I mean 
Ironside.  He's the Marine Commandant, whatever that means.
[19:01] <CRXO_Bentall> <<LOL!>>
[19:01] <CLMC_Ironside> ::arches an eyebrow:: Is that so?
[19:01] <Savant> not at all, Sir. It took me several. . . months. . . for me to 
aquire that level of de-centralization. I simply wanted to make you alert to my 
slightly higher power requirements. . .and how my program has modified itself to 
fight against any active attempt of destruction or deallocation of memory
[19:02] <L2dr_Morgan> ::nods:: I'll be doing that after I get things set up in 
my new quarters
[19:02] <LTEN_Oswald> E> ::looks at Savant:: do you realize what you are doing 
to the computer cores processing?
[19:02] <LTDR_Dalton> *> Oh yes ... do that, then go eat, and then go deal with 
the colonel.  He's nothing special.
[19:02] <FlCaptBlokpoel> WR> ::nods:: the X!Ci again.... :;finishes her tea and 
checks her chrono::
[19:02] <LTDR_Dalton> *> Anyhow, nice to meet you ... thanks for the help, but 
we really have to work on your improvisational skills ...

over at Oswald with strangely animated eyes, as if the bits could be seen 
flitting about behind her pupils
[19:03] <L1SL_Wayne> SB> ::steps off:: Need any assistance? 
[19:03] <Savant> Yes, Lieutenant. I am.
[19:03] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::seriously::  If there are X!chi on Janus and the 
Traxati arrive, then the planet and everyone on it are as good as dead.
[19:03] <LTEN_Oswald> E> :;sighs:: then you do realize that your de-
centralization is causing the computer to function slower...
[19:03] <CRXO_Bentall> ::nods:: He was a Lieutenant Commander according to his 
file. He's asked me to use my discretion on who I tell that too. Senior 
department heads only as I see it.

Captain ::stands:: I need to get back to the Obsidian. We are enroute te SB 742
[19:04] <LTEN_Oswald> E> which could mean the crucial moments between life and 
death for the ship... and you.... maybe compromised by your programming...
[19:04] <Savant> I have already put in a request at the next starbase to take on 
an entire sub-core, and have prepared ODN junction 129-17a for coupling.
[19:04] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> ::nods and bows his head::  Good luck, Fleet Captain.  
+taps+ Wardroom to Transporter Room One.  The Fleet Captain is returning to the 
Obsidian.
[19:04] * Savant seems to get hard- nosed
[19:04] <CLMC_Ironside> I wasn't aware you could move from officer to enlisted 
like that...did he give you a reason?
[19:04] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:04] <CPCO_LoraKor> WR> Fair journey, Fleet Captain.
[19:04] <L1SL_Wayne> SB> ::nods::  If you ever need assistance, give me a call

::chuckles::

[19:07] <ENen_Farley> E> What did you say Sky?
[19:07] <CPOTlaloco> SB> So, as you see, I am completely capable of taking my 
own vitals.
[19:07] <CPCO_LoraKor> ::leaves the computer to deal with the coffee- and 
teacups, and crosses back from the wardroom to the Bridge::
[19:07] <Savant> Please understand that I have little choice. This de-
centralization appears to be an evolution of my program.
[19:08] <ENen_Skylooker> E> I was just wandering. So what is the next system to 
go down today?
[19:08] <LTEN_Oswald> E> ::exits her office and heads up to the bridge:: I'll be

into the slipstream, bound for Starbase 81.

[19:08] <CPOTlaloco> SB> With all due respect, sir-

the good news.

running in parallel. It observes the data moving along without interfering, 
simply polling the information as she goes along... soon arriving back at the 
bridge

I get off duty in six hours.  Show up in five.  Trust me, I have never killed

[19:10] <CLMC_Ironside> ::glances back his console, noting Savant's movements 
amusingly::
[19:10] <LTDR_Dalton> SB> Meanwhile, looks like I"ll have to read your bio ... 
JAG and demotions and rituals and chapels ... not sure what it all means.
[19:10] <CPOTlaloco> SB>::smiles:: Thank you sir!! ::rushes off::
[19:10] <CPCO_LoraKor> ::heads for his chair and drops into it, frowning over at 
Bentall::  The Fleet Captain informed me that Traxati probes have been spotted 
heading at relativistic speeds toward Janus VI.
[19:10] * Savant is heralded on the bridge by a loud CRAK and another whiff of 
ozone
[19:10] <CPCO_LoraKor> If they were using the warp-driven probes, we'd probably 
be reading about the death of another planet this morning.  As it is, there's 
one Starfleet ship in range to try to deal with the situation.

can't get away from it

has to be so dramatic, then stands as the Lieutenant approaches, saluting:: At 
ease, Lieutenant.  Welcome aboard.  You come highly recommended from Corps HQ.

nothing like the computer, "two decks up, three doors to yor right, sir"

even pronounce it.  ::shakes his head:: Humans.
[19:12] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Farley take this way ::Point the right:: and check 
if someone need help with something I'll do the same on the left side. Ok?
[19:12] <CRXO_Bentall> ::glances at Savant:: Is that really necassary Savant?
[19:12] <L1SL_Wayne> FB> ::enters Flight Ops and taps the duty officer on the 
shoulder:: You got your wish. Micros will be arriving tommorrow and Thursday. 
[19:12] <CPCO_LoraKor> ::accepts the PADD, leans back, and reads::  Apparently, 
there is some question about his conduct.  From what little I've been informed, 
we could help the situation by immediately locking up all of our female crew.

[19:12] <Savant> is.... what neccesary, sir?
[19:12] <CRXO_Bentall> ::looks back at Lora Kor sharply:: Really? He's a problem 
child then is he?
[19:12] <LTDR_Dalton> TL> ::steps into the turbolift:: Hmm ... where to go.  So 
many people to bother, so little time.

resume our course to SB 742.. send a message of thank you to Capt Lora Kor and

[19:13] <ENen_Skylooker> E> ::Walk on the left side on eng and check who need 
help::
[19:14] <LTDR_Dalton> TL> ::shrugs:: Rule of Acquisition #115.  Whether it be

bridge.
[19:14] <CPCO_LoraKor> ::turns off the PADD for later reading and nods::  In 
these cases, Starfleet has elected for the officer in question to be made a 
Chief Petty Officer and try to work out the difficulty in a less stressful 
environment.  That's what he's doing here.
[19:14] <CPCO_LoraKor> If we're successful in moderating his personality, he'll 
no doubt be recommended for a command position elsewhere in the Fleet.  If 
not...  ::leaves it hanging::
[19:14] <CLMC_Ironside> ::grasps the PADD and looks it over quickly as Morgan 
continues:: Ah yes, Mr. Dalton. ::keeps his face neutral:: I think you'll find 
he takes some getting useful.  However, should you slip up and injure him in 
some manner, I don't believe anyone will come down on you too hard. ::deadpan::
[19:14] <CPOTlaloco> Q> Ok, I won' t be sleeping here, Gar. This'll be the new 
chapel.
[19:14] <L1SL_Wayne> FB> ::exits the Flight Ops and heads for his office::
[19:15] * Savant drifts off to one side, for once not paying all that much 
attention to the room in general, looking thoughtful and introverted
[19:15] <CRXO_Bentall> ::shakes his head:: Seems like an odd solution. 
::shrugs:: Well, seen as he reports directly to me, if he tries that sort of 
nonsense here he'll be sorry. ::pauses:: Perhaps I should have him and 
Lieutenant Oswald working together for awhile.
[19:15] <L2dr_Morgan> ::chuckles:: I'll keep that in mind, Sir
[19:15] <CPOTlaloco> Q>GAr> Good luck, brother, I'm getting off this ship.

[19:18] <CLMC_Ironside> ::looks back at Morgan and nods:: Very well, Lieutenant,

tomorrow morning Chief. We need to set a few things straight before you get to 
intrenched on this ship. Understood?
[19:18] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:18] <Savant> Not at all Sir. Though some may argue that humanity, or any

[19:20] <Savant> allow me to enlighten *you*, Mr Dalton. My program will not be 
compromised, threats or no.
[19:20] <LTDR_Dalton> By the way, your double cost me a lot of money, Bentall.  
You're persona non grata in Seventh Heaven.
[19:21] <CPOTlaloco> Q>::To himself:: That'll shield the antibodies.
[19:21] <CPCO_LoraKor> ::stands up, looking a bit confused::  We're here 
already?  I thought we were still a good fifty lights out.
[19:21] <CRXO_Bentall> ::grins:: Not the last time I checked but we could 
institute a new rule for you. And as for that Mr. Dalton, I can't be held 
responsible for what my double may or may not have done. It's against 
interstellar law.
[19:21] <ENen_Skylooker> E> ::Walk toward the CEO wile finishing the report

thought you said five minutes.
[19:21] <LTDR_Dalton> ::looks at Savant coldly:: You know, the captain asked me 
not to mention this to you, but I feel you've got it coming. ::sidles up to 
Savant:: Which of your many crimes against humanity shall we go over first?
[19:22] <CRXO_Bentall> Dalton! Be quiet!
[19:22] * Savant turns towards Lora and says calmly, "Sir, we *are* fifty light 
years from the Starbase ^_^"
[19:22] <LTEN__Oswald> E> ::takes the report and sighs:: thank you Sky
[19:22] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= In the holographic tank, ignored by everyone but 
the Captain and the Colonel, a single reddish star with a single planet orbiting 
it appears in the tank... a Starbase is hanging near the planet.

[19:22] <CLMC_Ironside> <<back>>

[19:23] <L1SL_Wayne> FB> ::takes a seat near a group of pilots, relaxing::  
[19:23] <LTDR_Dalton> ::grins at Savant:: Maybe the holoprogram's lost its depth

[19:24] <CLMC_Ironside> ::blinks:: Captain....I'm getting a time beacon signal 
from Starbase 81...50 light years away.  I'm also getting a time beacon signal 
from Starbase 81...half a secon later from directly in front of us.
[19:24] <L2dr_Morgan> Enter
[19:24] <LTDR_Dalton> ::shrugs:: So it's a sensor malfunction.  What's the big 
deal?
[19:24] <CRXO_Bentall> ::frowns:: This is odd.
[19:24] <CPOTlaloco> ::enters:: I'm sorry, I don't mean to disturb you, 
Lieutenant.
[19:24] <CLMC_Ironside> <<second>>
[19:25] <Savant> sensor logs indicate that the starbase appeared five minutes 
ago
[19:25] <CRXO_Bentall> The big deal Doctor, is that diagnostics indicate the 
sensors are working.
[19:25] <Savant> previously, i am registering COBE radiation and the tail end of 
a nebulae
[19:25] <CPOTlaloco> I just heard that I was not the only one new at this pick-
up and I wanted to introduce myself.
[19:26] <CoroLCARS> =Description= The Delta Penora system continues to increase 
in detail as the LORASON sensors cover the system... the star is a darkish red 
giant... an ancient star, heading toward its death. The single planet is a blue-
black gas giant orbiting at about Jupiter distance. The Starbase seems... hazy, 
somehow.
[19:26] <LTDR_Dalton> ::looks at Bentall:: Well obviously, Commander, something 
is wrong.  There aren't two Starbase 81's now are there?  It would be very 
confusing.
[19:26] <CPOTlaloco> <<sorry, Q>>
[19:26] <CPCO_LoraKor> ::raises his eyebrows::  Five minutes ago, you say, 
Savant?
[19:26] <Savant> exactly, Mr Dalton ::nods slightly::
[19:26] <Savant> aye, Sir. Five and a half minutes, now.
[19:26] <CPOTlaloco> Q> I just wanted to introduce myself. Olmeoaxaca W. 
Tlaloco, CPO and ship's chaplain.
[19:26] <ENen_Skylooker> E> Humm... Computer what time is it?
[19:27] <CPCO_LoraKor> Someone's obviously trying to get our attention.  
::pauses::  I don't know about anyone else, but they have mine.  All stop once 
we reach the system.
[19:27] * Savant holds up a hand and displays the pertinent portion of the log 
from her emitter
[19:27] <CRXO_Bentall> Perhaps because as Savant has indicated it's an anomoly.

into being.

avatar appearing thoughtful

chaplain.
[19:29] <CRXO_Bentall> ::looks at Dalton:: I didn't say anything.

[19:29] <LTDR_Dalton> Now where was I ... oh yes.  I was about to have a little 
chat with the hologram.
[19:29] <CLMC_Ironside> ::blinks:: The station looks completely intact, marginal 
atmosphere and power.  I'm not reading any life signs, though.
[19:30] <CPOTlaloco> Q>::grins:: MEdical eh? I won't hold that against you.
[19:30] <Savant> perhaps some rest would be in order, sir? ^_^ The duty shift is 
nearly over.
