Nodding at Lt Dodge and Ensign Nobel as he entered. He grabbed a few Padds and started reading them. Stopping in the door to the office he turned to Lt Dodge. "Tristan, looking at the scans Dr Nobels ankle is getting better, can we strap him up and assign him to Sickbay?" He looked at Tristan and then across to Nobel. "I don't see why not, would free us up a little more" Tristan answered awear the workload was getting heavy this afternoon.. "see to it Lt" Mil finished turning back to the office. (USS Gannicus, Sickbay Duty Office, CMO Lt Mil Nicolae, 1820) Mil sat down and looked over a few PADDs the doors opened and Ensign Caspian entered, he watched as she came across to the office and walked in. "How can I help you today sir?" She asked from the door way. "Take a seat Ensign, I've a few things we need to talk about." Mil said standing a little he watched as she sat down. "Ensign, I need your help with one of our guests." (reply Caspian) "He seems to be clamped up, a little afraid to talk. I thought maybe time with you may help him a little" (reply Caspian, any) (posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Ready Room, CO Captain Eva Straton, 18:27)         "Is there anything else that we need to discuss?" Commander Jacobs asked, turning the discussion to something other than Lt's Trei and Nicolae.         "You still need to finalize the away team members, but as we are still some time away from that stage of the mission, you have some time yet to consider your options," Eva replied, she thought for a moment.  "There are no other pressing matters of ship business that I feel we need to discuss at this time.  Is there anything you wish to discuss why we have this opportunity?" (Reply Jacobs, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus, Sickbay, Lt Tristan Dodge 18:46)   “Lead the way Lieutenant.” Tian said once he had put on his coat and picked up a PADD. "I will start with the Crew, Lt Patterson is here for a broken pelvis, she decided to try and jump warp core barrier. She's in bed rest at the moment." Tristan nodded at the Lt. (reply Noble iyw) "Here we've got Crewman Goldsmith, again." He turned to usher Tian away a little. "Normal case of hypercondrea, this time he has Altarian encephalitis, adamant he has memory loss, as usual no signs of it." Dodge continued to talk about two more crewmen then passed into the secondary area, this was dimly lit and far quieter.. "Here we have one of the three survivors. The female is struggling to survive, life signs are weak. She isn't responding to the medication to bring her back out of the coma. Hasn't woken since she was put under in surgery." (reply Noble) "Mil would like us to focus a little more on her, the two males are awake and responsive, just a little tired and weak." Dodge pointed through the other alcove to the two males currently sleeping. "the baby is here, his mother died during birth. He also isn't responding so time is essential" (reply Noble, any) (posted bY Mat) (USS Gannicus, Sickbay, ACMO Ensign JG Tian Noble 18:50)   Tian Followed and listened as Lt Dodge explained each of the patients  "I will start with the Crew, Lt Patterson is here for a broken pelvis, she decided to try and jump warp core barrier. She's in bed rest at the moment." Tristan nodded at the Lt. Tian gave a smile to the Lt and made a note on his padd. Tian Listened as Lt Dodge continued making notes.   Tian listened as Tristen contented to talk about the different people in sickbay.   "Here we have one of the three survivors. The female is struggling to survive, life signs are weak. She isn't responding to the medication to bring her back out of the coma. Hasn't woken since she was put under in surgery."  ~Its hard for us to make a treatment plan up with little information.~ Tian thought to himself "Mil would like us to focus a little more on her, the two males are awake and responsive, just a little tired and weak." Dodge pointed through the other alcove to the two males currently sleeping.  "the baby is here, his mother died during birth. He also isn't responding so time is essential" Tristan continued and Tian Listed and thought back to the baby and his mother. He looked at the baby ~I’ll make sure this child make it~ “What Tests have we ran do we have any idea why they are not responding to any medication?” Tian asked.   Right. So lets ask someone Tian headed over towards the two males. Then stopped and looked back at Tristan can we communicate? Tian seemed to be full of questions, but no answers. (reply Dodge, any) (posted by Richard) (USS Gannicus, Sickbay ACMO Ensign JG Tian Noble, 1900) Tian was looking at the sleeping baby. At this time he was shocked that he choice a specialty of pediatrics. Well to be honest he could handle anything else when it came to a child but this feeling of helplessness he had no idea what to do.   Tian picked up the small child and cradled it in his arm. “ What am I going to do about you.” Tian was speaking to the baby as if it could really understand him. “How do I save you” Tian continued he knew deep down he probably looked like a crazy person asking a baby for medical advice, but as long as no one saw he didn’t see the harm in it. “we’ve ran every test we known to run. What am I missing little one”   Tian sit there looking at the little child for what seemed like forever his mind was going none stop. When he felt a hand on his shoulder he looked up and saw one of the nurses the look on her face made Tian laugh he laughed ever more as she scanned him with the tricorder. “On please I’m fine” Tian put the baby back down and took the tricorder away from the nurse.   “Let try something, I want to take a blood sample from one of the males and the female I want to see if I can make a reaction in happy with different types of medication.”   Tian  went back to the main sickbay floor and sit at a work station getting the rest ready to run. Once the nurse came out with the two samples Tian put them into the machine and started his test. With a small sigh at the time it was going to take to run the test. He went on about his work in sickbay. (reply any) (posted by Richard) ( USS Gannicus – Cargo Bay - ATAC Lt JG Tallac Dragovar - 1909) "Interesting collection you have. This one almost escaped." Dragovar popped up out the hole in the floor like a meerkat. "Yeah." He hauled himself out the hole and began to pile the things into a crate he picked up from the engineers earlier. "Something about this ship is evading me, Jonas" He was puzzled and frustrated. "Why hide the things for the baby? Why were they apparently smuggling the pregnant mother away from their planet?" "Given the relative primative space travel technology, it must have been a desperate, last ditch gamble to escape into the totally unknown. Or did they know where they were going, a colony or outpost of some form?" He finished packing the crate, and hoisted it. "I'm going to take this baby stuff to sickbay." Could you keeo hunting for something. I hope Ash gets into those logs. SOmething is out of place here and its driving me nuts that I don;t know. (reply Jonas) (Posted by Tim) ( USS Gannicus – Cargo Bay - Engineer Jonas - 1911) "Something about this ship is evading me, Jonas" He was puzzled and frustrated. "Why hide the things for the baby?

Or did they know where they were going, a colony or outpost of some form?" He finished packing the crate, and hoisted it. "I'm going to take this baby stuff to sickbay." Could you keep hunting for something. I hope Ash gets into those logs. Something is out of place here and its driving me nuts that I don't know. "A lot of questions. Very few answers," said Jonas raising a brow as he peered into the crate Tallac had filled. "Only reason i can think of hiding things like these is typically narcotics. The chief and the chi... Ash and Janey are working on getting into those logs now. If they can get in, they will find a way. Anyway, Ill be sure to keep an eye out with the rest of the techs for anything unusual. Anything else we can do for you?" (reply Tallac, Any) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus – Cargo Bay - ATAC Lt Jg Tallac Dragovar - 1913) "A lot of questions.

"Get a tech to sweep the new room we found for any Narcotics, but I don't think we are looking for them." Dragovar knew there were a lot more things to smuggle than drugs. "Could be Weapons, bio-tech, information or like I think this one is, People." "Keep sweeping the ship, and let me know what you find." He requested. He lifted the crate and walked towards the door (reply Jonas, Any) (Posted by Tim) (USS Gannicus – Cargo Bay - Engineer Jonas - 1915) "Get a tech to sweep the new room we found for any Narcotics, but I don't think we are looking for them."

"Keep sweeping the ship, and let me know what you find." He requested. He lifted the crate and walked towards the door “Aye sir,” Jonas replied flipping open a tricorder. He never considered the other things that Dragovar had mentioned. He did agree that there did appear to be more than something normal going on. (reply any, none needed) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - Science Officer Ensign Collin Hayes - 1927) Collin decided to leave his quarters out of uniform. Instead he wore a bright white one piece jump suit. It was long sleeved, zipped in the front all the way up to the top of the neck, and then a flap from the left side of the neck snapped across the neck to the other side. With Collin's pale powdery skin he almost looked like a ghost.  The science officer was standing outside of the Ten Forward doors when he received a hail via communicator. =/\=Trei to Hayes. Meet me at Ten Forward in 5 minutes to discuss the alien ship. Trei Out.=/\= Collin did not like that he was being ordered by Lieutenant Trei, but he was an Ensign and he had every intention of listening to a Lieutenant. And besides Collin was already at Ten Forward. Ensign Hayes stepped in and took in the scene. The room was moderately lit by various lighting decor; ceiling lights, chandeliers, and track lights. He took a few steps in and saw some of his friends. He nodded, waved, and smiled in multiple directions to say hi at each friend.  Looking over at the bar he spotted the Chief of Security. He made his way toward the tall Klingon. When he reached the bar he leaned the top of his body onto it. "Orange Sunrise please," he ordered from bartender Mousk.  Collin then looked in the direction of Detron. "How can I help you sir?" (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - CSEC  LT(SG)  Detron Trei - 19.30) He saw Hayes take a seat beside him at the bar and order a citrus drink.  Its not that he didn't care for those types of drinks but he preferred something with a good kick.  He turned to face Hayes. "I am asking you here to discuss the alien ship and what you found on the ships logs.  While going through the ship, the structure was way too odd for me to dismiss.  What do the logs say explaining the explosion.  I have seen traps like this before." He has seen a trap like this before very recently with the subspace  rift. and didn't like what he saw in the alien ship. (Reply Hayes) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - Science Officer Ensign Collin Hayes 1932) "I am asking you here to discuss the alien ship and what you found on the ships logs.  While going through the ship, the structure was way too odd for me to dismiss.  What do the logs say explaining the explosion.  I have seen traps like this before." It probably wasn't too hard for Detron to notice Collin's facial expression change to confusion. Luckily at that time Collin's drink had arrived. A tall 20 oz clear glass was placed on the bar. It had a semi frozen liquid that was the color of burnt orange inside of it. Ensign Hayes took this time to sip his first taste of it. He cleared his throat, "I'm sorry Lieutenant Trei, but I have not been given any updates on the logs. I have been in my quarters ever since the meeting. I know science and engineering were suppose to work together on the matter. I do assume that another science officer was assigned to help look into the logs. Would you like for me to check?" (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - Science Officer Ensign Collin Hayes 1937) "Yes, I would like you to check but your opinion will serve for now. What are your thoughts on the situation?" Collin took a deep breath as a highway to gather his thoughts. "Odd, strange, baffling." He took another sip of his beverage. "What has your department been able to find from the rescued ship?" (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - CSEC  LT(SG)  Detron Trei - 1940) Hayes asked what the Security department found out from the alien ship.  He thought for a moment then responded. "It was  a strange experience inside  the ship.  I have seen traps like this before, but most or all involved a massive release of radiation or some sort of explosion meeting the investigative team.  I see no evidence of either.  The question is what were they running from?" Reply Hayes) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - Science Officer Ensign Collin Hayes - 1941) "It was a strange experience inside the ship. I have seen traps like this before, but most or all involved a massive release of radiation or some sort of explosion meeting the investigative team. I see no evidence of either. The question is what were they running from?" "Well, and I am just thinking from the top of my head now, but the traps were designed by people who didn't want to hurt the people going after them. So that makes me think its their own kind chasing them. The people who built the traps are trying to hide, and are trying to escape. They don't want to be murderers or hurt anyone. So what do you think we will do next?" (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) (USS Gannicus, Ready Room, CO Captain Eva Straton, 19:42)         Eva was finishing up the days 'paperwork'.  All the reports that had to be reviewed, authorized and filed for SFHQ.  It was, without a doubt, the most boring part of her job but it needed to be done to maintain the efficient running of the ship and the fleet.  She had just closed down and filed the last report while taking a sip of her tea when the door buzzer sounded.         "Come," She said, setting her cup of tea down and logging her terminal off.  ~At least I am done with reports for the day.~  She watched as Lt. Vesper and Chief Brown walked in the room and came to a stop in front of her desk. Eva nodded acknowledging them.         Eva listened as first Lt. Vesper and then Chief Brown launched into their analysis of the alien ship data recorders and communication systems.  Eva listened in silence, letting Vesper and Brown fully present their case before asking any questions or comments herself.         "I cant stress enough, that without this piece we may not be able to reach a definitive conclusion as to how the component failed," Lt. Vesper finally finished.         "So, let me make sure I understand this correctly, you want to take a shuttle and warp closer to the planet.  First, you want to pick up this missing piece that will give you a better idea what caused our guests ships to experience the explosion.  Second, you will be able to determine the exact point of origin of their communication signal on the planets surface.  Third, you want to deploy a subspace transmitter to convert their radio signals into a subspace signal and vice versa in order to accelerate communications.  Is that pretty much correct?"  Eva asked, looking from Lt. Vesper to Chief Brown and back again. (Reply Vesper, Brown, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus, Ready Room, Ops, CPO Janey Brown,19:43) "So, let me make sure I understand this correctly, you want to take a shuttle and warp closer to the planet.  First, you want to pick up this missing piece that will give you a better idea what caused our guests ships to experience the explosion.  Second, you will be able to determine the exact point of origin of their communication signal on the planets surface.  Third, you want to deploy a subspace transmitter to convert their radio signals into a subspace signal and vice versa in order to accelerate communications.  Is that pretty much correct?"  Eva asked, looking from Lt. Vesper to Chief Brown and back again. Janey looked at Ash and then back to the Captain, unsure if there were being chastised. "If they are still sending radio communications out, being closer to the planet we will pick them up sooner and be able to react. But yes, that is what we plan." (reply Straton, Vesper) Janey felt a little uncomfortable but stayed as still as she could. (reply Straton, Vesper, any) (posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus - Ready Room - CEO LT Vesper - 1944) "Just a quick basic run through sir. We believe, given the data, that the communications have a fixed receiver point, as yet from the craft we are unable to locate this. But, if the communications are still coming from the planet and still traveling back, if we take a shuttle warp closer to the planet we can locate this by tuning into their radio waves we could reduce the time the radio waves take. Given the fact there may be factions on the planet its probably safer to locate the right comm point." Again she took a breather and changed the screen. "When we are in position we could leave a transceiver to convert the radio waves into subspace comms to also speed up the conversation. Try and get these people back home to the right people quicker." Janey stopped and looked around. "We have also projected where the injector could be, once finished at the planet we then plan to pick that up. But Lt Vesper can explain that part" Janey was glad to have finished and handed back to Ash. "As i said we plotted the most likely course fro the debris and are tracking it. After we depart we can make a curved course back to retrieve the object," she finished. (reply Straton, Janey, Any) "I cant stress enough, that without this piece we may not be able to reach a definitive conclusion as to how the component failed," she added tossing a lock of hair back over her shoulder. Knowing she could guess to the most likely cause the engineer in her wanted, needed to know the precise failure. (reply Straton, Janey, Any) (posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus, Ready Room, CEO LT Vesper,1945) "So, let me make sure I understand this correctly, you want to take a shuttle and warp closer to the planet.  First, you want to pick up this missing piece that will give you a better idea what caused our guests ships to experience the explosion.  Second, you will be able to determine the exact point of origin of their communication signal on the planets surface.  Third, you want to deploy a subspace transmitter to convert their radio signals into a subspace signal and vice versa in order to accelerate communications.  Is that pretty much correct?"  Eva asked, looking from Lt.

"That's the plan Ma'am," Ash nodded, "Anything else we do here we will either need to wait till we get closer or be purely guess work." Glancing to Janey she followed suit standing almost rigid allowing just enough movement for her to breathe. (reply Straton, Janey, any) (posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus, Ready Room, CO Captain Eva Straton, 19:46)         "If they are still sending radio communications out, being closer to the planet we will pick them up sooner and be able to react.

Vespers followed with a nod, "Anything else we do here we will either need to wait till we get closer or be purely guess work."         Eva transferred the data from the wall monitor to her desk terminal where she could better review the data.  She was a competent engineer herself from her days as a combat engineer, so she had little problem following technical diagrams and charts.  After a few moments, she turned from the monitor and regarded the two junior officers.         "And you can do all this and still guarantee that the shuttle and the transmitter won't be seen by *anyone* on the planet?" She asked, even though she was pretty sure she already knew the answer.  "We are flying in blind and while your proposal would indeed help us gather useful information, it could also trigger hostilities that we are trying to avoid.  What steps can we take to keep this plan from setting off any hostilities?" (Reply Brown, Vesper, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - CSEC  Detron Trei - 19.47) He heard what Hayes said and drained his Long Island Iced Tea, asked for another then thought what his response will be. "I think we need to hear it from the survivors why they fled their planet but until they can tell us that we should thoroughly take a second look inside the ship." (Reply Hayes) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus, Ready Room, CEO LT Vesper, 1948) "And you can do all this and still guarantee that the shuttle and the transmitter won't be seen by *anyone* on the planet?"

That should be safe. If they are looking we will look like a piece of debris.” Pausing she drew breath, “Doubling back round will be tricky, but if we can do a warp jump and beam I don't think they will be able to follow us without our point of origin.” Quickly she looked to Janey, “Ma’am the communications transmitter could give us vital intel to avoid any conflict and retrieving that piece may help us to absolve the Gannicus from anyone who said we attacked that ship. It’s not an easy call, but I think the risk is worth the gain, but that's not my call to make.” Ash could feel herself toing a very dangerous line, but felt she had to make her point. The choice wasn't hers to make but she did feel it was the right one. Regardless she deferred to the Captains experience.

"Well sir, as a science officer I don't really have a legitimate reason to just go down their and start looking around right now." Collin took a deep breath before he continued, and even took a quick drink. "But I feel that you do. If you don't mind sir, what is stopping you?"

When she finished Janey spoke up. "Sir, we can mask the warp signature of the shuttle, by using the shields. This in turn will allow us to mask the shuttle and I could even make us look like space debries. From what I've pulled off the craft, I'm certain they only use sonar, if we showed up it would be a blip. The only way we would be found out is if someone was flying along side us. Again, if we weren't really in need of this equipment or the data from the planet I wouldn't push, but we are." Janey finished. She turned to Ash and faced the Captain again.

Vesper, "Gather whatever you might need and report to Lt. Commander Zzt in the main shuttle bay in 30 min.  He will fill you in when you arrive." (Reply Brown, Vespers) (NRPG:  Leaving room here for any questions Brown or Vespers might have) RPG:         Eva waited till Lt. Vespers and Chief Brown had left the Ready Room before tapping her comm-badge.  "Captain Straton to Commander Zzt.  I have a project for you."         =/\= Zzt here.  What do?=/\= Zzt replied.  Eva started instructing him on what she needed him to do.  ~He's done it before.  He can do it again.~  She thought.

Their plan was going ahead but had a twist, she could cope with a twist. "Understood Captain" Janey said turning to Ash to see If she had any questions.

Commander Zzt, 20:00)         Zzt walked into the main shuttle bay with his massive tool-kit in one paw and the guide rope to an anti-grav sled in the other.  Pulling the part laden anti-grav sled along behind him, Zzt moved over to the shuttle assigned to the upcoming mission.  He stopped and looked the shuttle over.  Walking the shuttles length and breadth he made sure nothing was out of place before he entered his command code and opened the rear of the shuttle and pushed his sled of parts before him into the shuttle to get to work. (Reply Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus, Sickbay CMO Lt Mil Nicolae, 2010) Mil was looking over the last of the reports for the day before heading to see Lt Trei, he had kept putting it off. Looking out across the sickbay he saw Tian talking to a few patients, happy he was up and about and working Mil looked down again. =/\=Zzt to Nicky. You come Shuttle Bay. Veepers collapse. Zzt catch=/\= Within a second Mil shot up bashing his badge "on my way" he grabbed the med kit from under the desk and called into the main Sickbay "Medical Emergency in Shuttlebay, prep for Lt Vesper coming in!" He bellowed. (reply Noble) "Computer Emergency Transport to Shuttlebay, authorization Nicolae beta papa twelve." Mil heard some chatter over his comm as he energized. (USS Gannicus, Sickbay CMO Lt Mil Nicolae, 2012) Tian was taking to one of the many people who seemed to be in and out of sickbay today making a few notes when he heard Mil.  "Medical Emergency in Shuttlebay, prep for Lt Vesper coming in!" He bellowed.  Right.. he watched as Mil beamed out to the sickbay.   Tian Jumped up looking around then right at crewman Goldsmith ~ugh I need that bed~ Tian grabbed and empty hypo and walked over to the crewman pressing it to his arm he gave him a fake injection. Okay creaman your good take another day off then return to full duity. Also you need to see the ships Counsellor I’ll send your file over. Tian turned and walked away made a few notes on the Padd and would need to restrict his access to the ships medical database this was getting out of hand.     Tian leaned over to one of the nurses we need to get station 2 ready for anything over prep it.

They hauled in their comm relay and readied it in the rear of the shuttle. Looking in they found Zzt already in the shuttle with a sled of parts. "Phew," Ash sighed wiping her forehead, "So that's who to the lift." she joked. (reply Zzt) "Eh... right..." Her eyes ran over all the equipment he had gathered for any inkling as to why the Captain wanted him along. It offered her no hints and she decided to try a more tactful approach as she moved over to the helm. "So, do you have everything you need for what you are doing? Am I good to get us on the move?" She looked over to Janey both still unsure as to Zzt's purpose on the trip out. (Reply Zzt, Janey) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay,Shuttle Flail,  ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 2016)         Zzt had several panels in the floor and walls of the shuttle open along with his tool-kit.  Parts and tools where strewn about on the floor as Zzt had his head and one paw down into an open floor panel checking the installation of a series of new parts.  When he smelled the arrival of Vespers and Brown.  He popped his head out and bared his fangs at them in the approximation of a grin wiggling his claws at them in greeting.          "Phew," Vespers said, wiping her forehead, "So that's who to the lift."         "You need lift?"  Zzt, asked thinking the still recovering CEO was feeling a bit fatigued.  Zzt hopped up and easily scooped Vespers into crook of one arm.  "You need catch breath Veepers?"  He asked, looking from Vespers to Brown and back again.  "You want Zzt call Nicky come look you over?"         "Eh... right..." Vespers replied, and Zzt immediately tapped his comm-badge.         "Zzt to Nicky.  You come Shuttle Bay.  Veepers collapse.  Zzt catch," Zzt said into the open comm channel holding Vespers firmly in his crook of his arm.

Distracted by Zzt's odd way of speaking she had just realized what she had done. "WAIT, wait, wait, wait, wai...." she was too late, the comm opened. (Nicolae, Brown, Zzt) "Sorry," Ash shouted over the comm, "Slight miscommunication here. Everything is ok." ~Dammit im sure Mil was the last person who wanted to hear my voice~ (Nicolae, Brown, Zzt) Ash could feel the fur start to heat her up. It was almost like getting a hug off a giant teddy bear. She started to feel a slight discomfort as the fur pierced her uniform and began to jab her, "Thanks, big guy. Any chance I can use my own two feet now please." She smiled and waited. (Brown, Zzt, Any) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay, Shuttle Flail, CMO Lt Mil Nicolae, 2019) Mil materialised beside the three people. He threw the kit to the side and pulled out the tricorder. Turning he heard the last of what Vesper said. "Any chance I can use my own two feet now please." Vesper said. Mil looked at Vesper sharply, then turned his head across the other two officers. Watching the scene unfold Janey jumped into action. "Sir, theres been a misunderstanding, Commander Zzt didn't understand something Lt Vesper said" Mil stood and looked again, "Would someone please explain what is going on" Mil said sternly with his lips thinning. He had a Sickbay full of people he had no way of treating and games weren't helping (reply Zzt, Vesper, any) (posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay,Shuttle Flail,  ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 2020)         "Thanks, big guy. Any chance I can use my own two feet now please," Vespers asked, smiling up at Zzt.         "No, not less Nicky say you ok," Zzt replied now in full protection mode.  He shifted her into what he hoped was a more comfortable position for her, letting her legs dangle between two of his claws.         "Would someone please explain what is going on," Nicolae said looking around at each of them.  Zzt thrust Vespers toward Nicolae, balancing her easily on his massive arm as if she weighed nothing at all as he launched into an explanation of events.         "Lt. Veepers and Chief Broom board shuttle," Zzt explained nodding to Vespers and then Brown in turn.  "Veepers wipe brow ask 'who lift?".  Zzt jump up and catch so no fall.  Zzt ask call Nicky.  Veepers say right.  Zzt call you.  You come.  Now Nicky here, you make Veepers all better."

Tempted not to say any more in case she made the situation worse she looked at the and pleaded with the Doctor as her legs dangled in the air like a rag doll, “I misheard and misspoke Doc. Please tell him im fine so I can get down.” ~Oh God… I can feel his heart beat. Dun… Dun Dun Dun… Dun. Ok if I weren't so weirded out right now this might be interesting~ (reply Everyone! come and join the party - HUGS FOR ALL) “What’s all the commotion about over here?” Dumbfounded Ash looked up. For some reason her slight slip of the mouth had some how received the attention of most of the senior staff, “It’s one big misunderstanding sir.” She looked round at everyone feeling their eyes peer into her. (reply any) He fell back into an authoritative stance and listened as everything was explained. “I uhh… well you see sir…” Ash stumbled how to describe the situation. She wished Zzt would repeat what he said earlier it was bound to make more sense than anything she could put together right now.

Mil watched as Vesper was flung around infront of him, unsure really if she was in pain or was being caused pain. “I misheard and misspoke Doc. Please tell him im fine so I can get down" Vesper said still hanging from Zzt. Looking over the situation Mil was struggling to hide the small smile that was forming on his lips. He was also struggling to hide his annoyance at having been called. Everyone knew not to make flippant comments infront of Zzt. "Calling a medical emergency is not something to do without good reason Commander Zzt" Mil was starting to realise what had happened. (reply Zzt) Nrpg: leaving space for conversation before the commander arrives. Rpg: Before he was able to speak again Commanded Jacobs arrived at his side. “What’s all the commotion about over here?” "That's exactly what I would still like to know." Mil said adjusting to no longer being the senior officer. (reply Zzt, Jacobs, Vesper, any) Nrpg:....try not to make it worse Adam! Rpg: “It’s one big misunderstanding sir.” Ash said still being held by Zzt. Mil knew he was probably the only person that would be able to get her down but he waited.

Please tell him I'm fine so I can get down," Vespers said.  Zzt frowned, confused at the comment.         "Mishear what?" He asked.         "Calling a medical emergency is not something to do without good reason Commander Zzt," Nicolae said next, causing Zzt to switch his attention to him.         "Zzt have good reason," He replied, agitation creeping into his voice, "Zzt tell you.  Veepers almost fall.  Zzt catch.  Ask if she need medical help.  She say 'right', so Zzt call.  Now you here.  How that not good reason?" “What’s all the commotion about over here?” A new voice asked suddenly.  Zzt looked over to see Commander Jacobs standing there.         "That's exactly what I would still like to know," Lt. Nicolae said.         “It’s one big misunderstanding sir," Vespers said from her perch in the crook of Zzt's arm.         "Commander Hic-up,"Zzt said a low growl of frustration in his voice, "Lt. Veepers fall.  Zzt catch.  Call Nicky to look Veepers over in case her brain melt, but now him no do.  She may of had strook." Zzt looked from Jacobs to Nicolae.  "Why you no look Veepers over?  You want her brain damaged?"  Zzt took a step closer to Nicolae towering over the smaller man.

(Reply Jacobs, Nicolae, Brown, Any) "Not to put a damper on the explanation here. but can you please say im ok so i can get on the ground," Ash began to feel herself becoming lightheaded from being moved around at will by Zzt. She looked back to Zzt, well as best as she could, "Its ok big guy. I promise that my brain wont melt or explode in anyway." ~At least i hope so~  "I didn't hear you quite right after the fall. I promise I am alright." His fur began piercing her uniform even more giving her the sensation to scratch, well if her hands were able to move between then she might have been able to. For the moment she had the bear with it. NRPG: excuse the bear pun :D I have the feeling this may get me in even more trouble! (Reply Jacobs, Nicolae, Brown, Zzt, Any) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus - Main Shuttle bay - First Officer, Commander Henry Jacobs - 2027) The back and forth conversation he sat and watched between the engineers and scientists finally broke as he looked over a short distance to an incoming transport. He saw Dr. Nicolae materialize next to the mammoth engineer who seemed to be holding Ash in his arms. The entire event prior to the beam in had been unseen by Jacobs’ eyes but now he definitely took interest in what was transpiring. Not only had his interest been peaked, but he also now found a valid reason to leave the alien craft for something of more importance. “Carry on here while I investigate whats going on across the room.” Henry walked over to the small huddled group and proceeded to let his presence be known. “What’s all the commotion about over here?” (reply any) He fell back into an authoritative stance and listened as everything was explained. (reply any and all) (Posted by Darryl McDaniel) (USS Gannicus - Main Shuttle Bay - First Officer, Commander Henry Jacobs - 2029) ~This is clearly a misunderstanding, better have him put her down before this gets any more attention than it already has,~ Henry thought, slightly shaking his head, but noticing quick enough to stop. "Commander," looking up at the giants general upper half, "Please put her down." He watched as the commander obliged and Ash took to her feet. He didnt even want to address Ash at the time because it seemed like she was prone to such 'incidents'. He did, however, turn his attention to Mil. "Doctor, any reason why we cant all get back to what we were doing?" (reply Mil) Henry already knew the answer to the question he asked and almost jumped to his next order of business as Mil answered.  "Everyone else, status report? Are we ready for this mission?" (reply any and all) (reply Mil, all, any) (Posted by Darryl McDaniel) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay,Shuttle Flail,  ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 2030)         "Commander," Commander Jacobs said, "Please put her down."         The words were received and processed by Zzt all without conscious thought.  His conscious mind still trying to deal with the problem before it.  Zzt's subconscious had been trained after years in Star Fleet to recognize an order and to comply.         The arm holding Lt. Vespers, twitched, flexed briefly and then uncurled sending Lt. Vesper half rolling half sliding down Zzt's arm and right into Commander Jacobs feet knocking both of them out from under him, sending him sprawling down on top of Lt. Vespers.         "Who?" Zzt shouted in surprise at the sudden change, taking a step back from the squirming mass that was Commander Jacobs and Lt. Vespers.         "Zzt sorry," Zzt said, unsure if he should try to help separate the two.  He looked over at Nicolae and back again. (Reply Nicolae, Vespers, Jacobs, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus - Main Shuttle Bay - CMO Lt Mil Nicolae - 2031) "Commander, Please put her down." Jacobs ordered. Mil stood and looked between all four people stood around him. He half registered Jacobs order and flinched inside when it sunk in what had been said. He watched as slowly Vesper slid down Zzts arm and onto the Commander. Again struggling to hold back a grin Mil turned to Janey and smiled a little. "Who? Zzt sorry," The bear said taking a step back and looking at Mil. Deep inside Mil felt a twang of sympathy for him, somewhere deep inside, Mils eye flinched as he shifted back to his composed self. "Cheif Brown could you please look after Commander Zzt, I believe he may just an explanation of what's just happened." He said looking across at Janey again. "Nicolae to Nobel" (reply Noble) "Ensign cancel medical emergency, I can handle it here" Mil spoke walking across to the jumble of officers and helping them apart. Once Ash was stood up he scanned her, partly for show for Zzt, partly to check there wasn't anything really wrong. "Lt, you need to come to Sickbay once you return from your mission, these braces need tightened. Your legs won't recover if the muscles aren't being challenged" he said standing up and walking across to Commander Jacobs. "Doctor, any reason why we cant all get back to what we were doing?" Looking around he turned to face the commander. "Non at all sir, clearly an issue certain people could have avoided" He said glancing across to Lt Vesper. (Reply Jacobs) "I will take Vesper into Sickbay after her mission, I worry she may try to avoid taking the braces off. So if nothing else I have a few issues I need to attend to" "Everyone else, status report? Are we ready for this mission?" Jacobs bellowed out into the room "Ive got Lt Noble looking at our guests, I will be catching up with science shortly with our requirements for transferring them back to the planet." Mil answered back and looked at Vesper to continue her report. (reply Jacobs, Vesper, any) (posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay,Shuttle Flail, LT Vesper, 2032) "Commander," Commander Jacobs said, "Please put her down."

"Zzt sorry," Zzt said, unsure if he should try to help separate the two. He looked over at Nicolae and back again. ~Sonuva~ Ash now felt she required a slight amount of medical attention, but knew fine well at this point she would receive little sympathy. The Commander had managed to end on top of her and in traditional style she quipped quietly, "Commander, I hope your not expecting another kiss." Eventually standing up she was able to ensure that her limbs were indeed attached and began removing a layer of soft fur that coated her uniform. She heard the brief sound of a medical tircorder over her "Lt, you need to come to Sickbay once you return from your mission, these braces need tightened. Your legs won't recover if the muscles aren't being challenged" he said standing up and walking across to Commander Jacobs. "Doctor, any reason why we cant all get back to what we were doing?"

Mil answered back and looked at Vesper to continue her report. "We have everything we need is onboard I just need to get to the helm and we are set. All being if Zzt has everything he needs," she semi smiled looking up at the giant. (reply Zzt, any) "Cheif Brown could you please look after Commander Zzt, I believe he may just an explanation of what's just happened." He said looking across at Janey again. Janey was pulled to attention shocked by the request. "Erm, yes sir" She replied but Nicolae had already moved onto something else. Turning to Zzt she saw him back off slightly. Walking up to him she felt a strong sense of compassion towards the bear. He wasn't bad, he was just unfortunate in his understanding. Trying to shield him from any more issues Janey moved close to him. "Zzt ok?" She asked taking hold of one of his claws and looking up into his eyes. She slowly rubbed what she could touch of his hand. (reply Zzt) As the bear talked she looked up. (reply Zzt, any) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus - Main Shuttle Bay -Ops CPO Janey Brown- 2033) Janey watched the horror story unfold, she had stood quietly allowig each of the dominant forces battle it out. Eventually Zzt dropped Ash onto the ground. She watched as Lt Nicolae smiled at her, she was unsure why he did it. His normal personality didnt break and always seemed to be rigid and strict around lower ranks and when on duty. "Cheif Brown could you please look after Commander Zzt, I believe he may just an explanation of what's just happened." He said looking across at Janey again. Janey was pulled to attention shocked by the request. "Erm, yes sir" She replied but Nicolae had already moved onto something else. Turning to Zzt she saw him back off slightly.
