21:00 | CmdrDutcher | Crew is at Attention, Captain! ::AA:: |
21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you, Commander. |
21:02 | ... | Good evening, crew. I hope you are all well, and staying warm. This has been some strange weather effecting a lot of the country. |
21:02 | .. | Have you all read the brief, and do we have any questions? |
21:02 | Cdr_Hart | Brief read, no questions, Skipper. |
21:02 | LtAmeliaMoore | read and no questions, Sir. |
21:02 | Lt_Andrews | Yes, and no, Captain. |
21:03 | Lt_Banning | Y/N, Sir. |
21:03 | CmdrDutcher | Read, No Questions, Captain. |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let's waste no more time, and... |

21:04 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] ::Sitting in the command chair:: Any results, Hailey? |
21:05 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::On the bridge:: |
21:05 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: on the bridge, now standing by Andrews:: |
21:05 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: at tactical:: |
21:05 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: at the science console:: |
21:06 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::gets a cup of tea to sip while she looks over some medical courses she might take:: |
21:07 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] We got something, Captain. The computer is translating it all now. |
21:07 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] ::nods:: Good work. |
21:07 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Well something is better than what we had before! |
21:08 | DrResork | EMH > :: approaches Amelia, with his own mug, in his hand:: [ Nurse ] Finding anything good? |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] Agreed. |
21:10 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Captain, the Klurain warship has turned, and is headed in our direction. |
21:10 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] Well, most of these courses for being a medical officer are the same ones I took for my nursing degree. |
21:10 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ NOIP ] Well, that could be trouble! |
21:11 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] ::glances over:: Indeed? ::looks to Dutcher:: [ XO ] Wonder if they are having second thoughts. |
21:12 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] I have my doubts on that. More likely that they want to know why we are heading out of the system instead of towards the planet. |
21:12 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] ::takes a "sip" from his mug:: I am sure they are a bit mroe intensive, though. |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] Surely they don't just keep all their freighters in-system. But, I guess we'll find out. ::looks forward::: Helm, stay on course, and maintain current velocity. |
21:14 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. |
21:15 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::moves back to the engineering console, to check that all is well with the sub-mode, and his "modifications.":: |
21:15 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] True, they do have a higher course level. I think I'll see what the recommended courses are. But I think I need to have the Captain's approval for me to proceed first |
21:16 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] ::gives her a smile:: You really think the captain would turn you down? Especially if I recommended it to you? |
21:17 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Perhaps, but we did ask for parts, so they may be wondering why we aren't trying to find them elsewhere. |
21:17 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: keeps an eye on the Klurain warship:: |
21:18 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Captain, we are being hailed. |
21:18 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] Put it on speaker. |
21:19 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: does so:: |
21:19 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::looks over at McCloud and lifts an eyebrow:: |
21:19 | CaptMcCloud | Co >+[ K-CO ]+ Commander? Have you reconsidered? |
21:21 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ CO ]+ We have not. We will, however board your vessel, and inspect your systems, ourselves. Shut down your engines, and prepare to be boarded. |
21:21 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: smirks, and mouths to Hailey, radio issues:: |
21:22 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::frowns and waits to see what the Captain will do:: |
21:22 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] ::nods in understanding, and taps on her console:: |
21:23 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ K-CO ]+ Comm... please repeat. Your... sage was not... |
21:23 | ... | (That's how it would sond on their end.) |
21:23 | CmdrDutcher | (got it ) |
21:24 | ... | XO> ::Smirks:: |
21:24 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ CO ]+ I said, Shut down your engines and prepare to be boarded! |
21:26 | CmdrDutcher | ( Want so say "Oh we already asked them!") |
21:26 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ K-CO ]+ Sorry, ...... nnot hear you... io troubles. |
21:27 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::mouths to Andrews:: prepare for Red Alert. |
21:28 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ CO]+ I SAID SHUT DOWN YOUR ENGINES, NOW!!! |
21:28 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::does his best not to laugh. Motions for Hailey to mute the transmission. When she does:: [ XO ] You think they are getting mad? |
21:29 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ XO ] ::nods in acknowledgement:: |
21:30 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] just a little. guess he doesn't like his orders to be ignored. Shall we bring weapons and shields up? |
21:30 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Maintain course, Mr. Toine. [ CENG ] Tom, Can you make it look less appealing for them to board us? |
21:31 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] I'll give it a try, Cap. |
21:31 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] Not yet. Remember, if we bring up shields, we lose our disguise. |
21:32 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Understood. Interesting idea. |
21:32 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ Co ] Sir, they are charging weapons. |
21:33 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] we may not have a choice soon |
21:33 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ TAC ] Acknowledged. Standby for my mark to raise shields. [ CENG ] Tom? |
21:34 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ CO ]+ If you do not shut down your engines, we will shut them down for you. |
21:35 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ NOIP ] What if we could program the deflector to make it look like we're carrying some really sensitive load. Something that would hurt them if we were hit by weapons fire? |
21:36 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ SCI ] Wouldn't hurt but any idea what that would be? |
21:36 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ SCI ] That sounds like a good idea. ::Starts programming the dish:: |
21:37 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ XO ] Some of the fule, their freighter of this class can be very volatile. |
21:38 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ SCI ] So, if we were carrying a load of it... Got it! |
21:38 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: smirks and looks to Ali:: |
21:39 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] We're ready, Skipper. |
21:39 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::watches his board carefully:: |
21:40 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Let see if they feel like blowing up a ship load of fuel and themselves. ::smiles back:: |
21:40 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ K-CO ]+ ::motions for Hailey to unmute:: Comm... would not a..vise... carrying... fuel. |
21:42 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ CO ]+ Oh, you heard that. Well, let's just see what you are carrying... |
21:43 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Another passive scan, Captain. |
21:43 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::nods at Banning, looks to his XO and crosses his fingers:: |
21:44 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::nods and crosses her own fingers:: |
21:45 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ CO ]+ ::can be heard saying, to someone offscreen:: What type of fuel? ::mumbles can be heard:: Freighter! Shut down your engines, and none of us will blow up! |
21:45 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] But I am not sure If I should make the request or not. I mean, I like what I do and I don't want to have to leave the Eagle. |
21:46 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ K-CO ]+ :: smirks and nudges Ali:: We will... comply. ::motions for Hailey to mute the channel again:: |
21:47 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] You want us to shut down, Captain? |
21:48 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] ::holds back a chuckle:: What would you like to do next. |
21:48 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] I can make the request, and who says you have to leave the Eagle? |
21:49 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CENG ] No. I have no intention of stopping. :: smiles:: [ OPS ] Any luck with the translation, Hailey? |
21:50 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] ::shrugs:: I just thought it would be required. But if you think I can stay here and still do it, I guess it would look better coming from you. |
21:50 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] :: checks the progress:: As a matter of fact, Sir, yes. We have quite a bit of information. |
21:50 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Then let's say we use some of it on them! |
21:51 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ Co ]+ I am waiting... Shut down, now! |
21:52 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] I would almost insist you remain aboard. You've become our best nurse. Surely the captain can see that. |
21:53 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] They're charging weapons again, Sir. |
21:53 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ TAC ] Let me know the moment they fire. |
21:54 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: narrows brows, wondering what the captain is up to:: |
21:54 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. |
21:54 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] I appreciate that, Doctor. |
21:55 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] And I appreciate you. So, that is that. |
21:55 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Preparing a surprise, are you? |
21:56 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] They are firing! |
21:56 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::giggles:: |
21:56 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] :: sits back in his chair:: Mr. Toine, maximum warp, now. |
21:57 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::taps the console, sending the ship to maximum warp:: |
21:57 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] I would love to see the look on their faces right about now! |
21:57 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::quickly moves to the engineering console, to set the intermix to right:: |
21:59 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ CO ]+ ::can be heard over the still-open comm:: Where'd they go? How did they... |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::motions for Hailey to cut the transmission:: |
21:59 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::gets up and hugs Dr Resork:: [EMH] Thank You! |
22:00 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] :: lets out a laugh:: That was perfect! |
22:00 | DrResork | EMH > :: is surprised by the hug, and spills his mug's contents, which is only holographic, so it does not make a mess:: [ Nurse ] You're welcome. |

22:03 | CaptMcCloud | Great job, tonight. We will have a week pass between sims, and will be out of Klurain space, but still nearby, awaiting word from Command on what they want to do next. Do we have any questions? |
