7:50:55 PM majdougmcknight: Murdock> Can we help you, sir?

7:50:56 PM vadmblackthorne: ::carries his PADD out onto the bridge, relieving the officer in command::

7:51:26 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> Kellys--that new nurse--hasn't been out of that lab since her shift started.

7:51:32 PM kileyairell: Hello Admiral, how are ou?

7:51:41 PM cmdrshelev: ::lying:: Last ship didn't have a range available..

7:51:43 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  You do what I want you to do, got it?  That's what a Starfleet officer does: follow orders.

7:51:44 PM willfmarlowe: Well, go see what she's up to. We might need her out here on a moment's notice.

7:51:53 PM ltcdrhducaine: And you might be...?  ::looks at her with a smirk::

7:52:06 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> Right.

7:52:15 PM vadmblackthorne: Fine, thanks.

7:52:19 PM majdougmcknight: Murdock> Sorry sir, but I'm just here to guard the ordnance.  You'll want to talk to Major McKnight in C&C.

7:52:25 PM vadmblackthorne: ::looks up from the PADD: You?

7:52:25 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> ::walks over to lab 3 and steps in::

7:52:27 PM danducwilliams: ::chuckles again:: Did I ever say I wasn't going to do them? ::wanders off to go scrubin'::

7:52:43 PM lttkirr: ::glances to him for a moment:: Lieutenant T'Kirr.  ::finishes, shutting off the microtorch, and turns to him:: Chief Science Officer.

7:52:44 PM cmdrshelev: Right, I knew that...          where's C&C?

7:53:06 PM kileyairell: Not too bad m'self

7:53:45 PM majdougmcknight: Murdock> Just next door, sir.  If he's not out there when you get in, just head right out past the control center.  His office is the first on your left.

7:54:14 PM cmdrshelev: Thank you, Corporal ::turns and exits::

7:54:21 PM majdougmcknight: Murdock> Sir.

7:54:36 PM cmdrshelev: ::hooks a left into C&C::

7:54:45 PM vadmblackthorne: Good to take the Mustangs out again, wasn't it?

7:54:47 PM ltcdrhducaine: Pleasure to meet you, Lieutenant.  ::nods::  You a pilot as well?  ::motions to the craft::

7:54:55 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  Navy brat...

7:55:05 PM kileyairell: Definately.  Can't wait to play again.

7:56:00 PM lttkirr: ::glances up at the fighter she was working on, pulling her protective visor off:: Yes.  This is the admiral's.  ::points behind him:: That one is mine.

7:56:28 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  ::fights a glare::

7:56:32 PM ltcdrhducaine: Nice fighters, both of 'em.

7:56:58 PM lttkirr: Could I have your opinion on something?  ::steps over to a console, picking up a PADD::

7:57:02 PM majdougmcknight: ::Stands looking at the display screen, where the security situation is being monitored.  At present, 2 marines patrol each deck, just in case::

7:57:13 PM majdougmcknight: ::Mug of raktajino in hand, of course::

7:57:55 PM lttkirr: EnsLogan> ::looks up from Science::

7:58:10 PM kileyairell: ::chuckles:: Isn't that a GOOD thing Sir?

7:58:33 PM ltcdrhducaine: OF course.  ::steps over::

7:58:44 PM ltcdrhducaine: Potter>  You missed a spot... ::points at Dan's work::

7:58:55 PM majdougmcknight: ::Turns his head, and comes to attention, though not too rigidly::  Commander.  What can I do for you, sir?

7:59:20 PM danducwilliams: No, thats just your reflection. ::smiles innocently and continues cleaning::

7:59:24 PM cmdrshelev: At ease.. I don't think we've formally met, Major. ::offers handshake::

7:59:39 PM vadmblackthorne: We just destroyed a cruiser and a carrier and are moving at breakneck speed.

7:59:51 PM vadmblackthorne: They have to have noticed.

8:00:00 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> ::emerges from the lab:: She says she'll be right out. She's working on something.

8:00:08 PM lttkirr: ::hands the PADD to him:: In the past, we have mostly used the fighters for planetary assaults.  Our last engagement was in close quarters to the Atlantis.  It will no doubt be our last.

8:00:50 PM lttkirr: I've been designing a method to enhance the fighters' shielding, as they could come under heavy firepower from cruisers.

8:01:07 PM majdougmcknight: ::Relaxes his posture, and takes the Andorian's hand::  I imagine you're correct.  Doug McKnight.  And when Major Zinthys is off at tactical, this is my little castle.  You'll find everything's in order.

8:01:09 PM willfmarlowe: ::arches a brow, moving from the console at which he was working toward his office::

8:01:46 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> I thought Science was the only department with this problem. Now we have nurses worrying more about publishing than nursing?

8:02:04 PM lttkirr: I call it Parent Sensory Triangulation Shielding, or PST Shielding.  It still needs a great deal of testing, but I think by tying the sensors of Atlantis together with those of the fighters', we can increase the shields' ability to-

8:02:11 PM kileyairell: True

8:02:14 PM lttkirr: -deflect incoming phaser fire.

8:02:22 PM cmdrshelev: Ah, this isn't an inspection. I've been off a serious military ship long enough I wouldn't know what to look for. Which brings me to the reason I came down here... do you have a man to spare to help out this old XO renew his small arms certification?

Could not send the last message because it was too large. (8:02:22 PM)

8:02:26 PM willfmarlowe: I'll speak with her later. In the meantime, I believe you're due for some rest.

8:02:30 PM cmdrshelev: Ah, this isn't an inspection. I've been off a serious military ship long enough I wouldn't know what to look for.

8:02:41 PM cmdrshelev: Which brings me to the reason I came down here... do you have a man to spare to help out this old XO renew his small arms certification?

8:02:50 PM ltcdrhducaine: It would, but the harmonics of the Atlantis shields don't initially match those of the fighters.  ::points::  You'ld be using more power for the triangulation than the fighter's shield buffer can withstand.

8:02:55 PM lttkirr: Its optimal range would only be a few kilometers from Atlantis, but I think it would be of use in our current situation.

8:03:17 PM vadmblackthorne: ::leans back in his chair and summons a cup of tea from a yeoman::

8:03:21 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> Now what drew you to that most astute conclusion? The rings around my eyes? Perhaps my shoulders, slumped from fatigue?

8:03:29 PM majdougmcknight: ::Grins before bringing his mug to his lips for another sip::  Sure.  You're looking at him.

8:03:39 PM danducwilliams: ((Will i cant seem to IM you for some reason))

8:03:56 PM danducwilliams: ::gets up as he finishes his cleaning:: Ahh, good and good, shiny as can be.

8:04:03 PM cmdrshelev: ::Stifles an urk:: Ah, alright.. have time at the present moment?

8:04:09 PM ltcdrhducaine: Potter>  ::rolls her eyes and moves away::

8:04:43 PM willfmarlowe: ::furrows his brow:: The time. And lieutenant--get used to it. ::the corners of his lips turn upward in a small, knowing smile::

8:04:47 PM vadmblackthorne: ::sips at the tea, eyeing the tactical sensor display::

8:04:49 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::looks over the schematics::  Nice design, though.  If we double the capacity of the shielding buffer, we should be able to use the plan.  But that modifications are extensive, including a new set of relays and power converters.

8:05:12 PM danducwilliams: ::shouts over to Potter:: I never said anything about the reflection being a dirty spot though! ::chuckles to himself::

8:05:25 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> ::backpedals, on her way out:: Yes, sir. ::the doors slide shut after she leaves::

8:05:30 PM ltcdrhducaine: Potter>  ::ignores him::

8:05:43 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  ::looks at Dan::  Oh, that's smooth...

8:05:54 PM majdougmcknight: I can't guarantee it'll stay that way, Murphy;s Law being what it is and all, but everything seems to be under control at the moment.

8:06:11 PM majdougmcknight: ::Gestures back to the armory::  After you, Commander.  Captain Montrose, you have C&C!

8:06:26 PM majdougmcknight: Montrose> Yes, sir.

8:06:28 PM lttkirr: Yes, I realize there would be significant modification to the fighters.  I am no engineer, but I have studied the workings of these fighters in the last week.

8:06:38 PM lttkirr: If you agree the design is sound, I will take it to Admiral Blackthorne for consideration.

8:06:52 PM cmdrshelev: ::nods:: Heads back to the Armory, rubbing his slightly trembling wrist.

8:07:18 PM danducwilliams: ::sighs to himself:: Oh it was, smooth just like that haircut you got. ::smiles back at Jeddin:: I hope your ready to get used to this by the way.

8:07:26 PM ltcdrhducaine: It's more than that though.  Because of the variances in the shield buffer, it'll react differently to different energy discharges.  The type of protection from a Cardassian Galor could be better than that of a Breen cruiser.

8:07:49 PM majdougmcknight: So, away from the military proper, were you?  I don't suppose you were involved with Operation Rinacita?

8:08:05 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  She was flirting with you and you totally blew it, man.  If you want me to get use to that, I can learn to laugh at you.  ::returns to his console::

8:08:10 PM lttkirr: Agreed.  We would use the tactical data from our last encounter with the Machen Bren to use specifically against them.

8:08:23 PM cmdrshelev: Nope, just a boring science vessel collecting dust in more ways than one.

8:08:42 PM danducwilliams: ((note to self, learn the gender of the NPCs))

8:08:46 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::nods::  Well, other than that, it looks like it would be a good idea.

8:08:53 PM vadmblackthorne: Damn. I don't like this.

8:09:06 PM danducwilliams: ::smiles at Jeddin:: Well, while were at a low in the moment, mind if I pop down and get my physical done, sir?

8:09:12 PM lttkirr: ::nods::

8:09:44 PM majdougmcknight: Ah.  Well, I can feel your pain, sir.  Do a computer search, keywords marine, bored.  U.S.S. Cervantes is sure to pop up there somewhere.

8:10:05 PM cmdrshelev: I've heard the stories.

8:10:08 PM kileyairell: Admiral, relax.  We are well prepared if something should happen.  You can't change anything, so why worry?

8:10:30 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> ::finally walks out of lab 3::

8:10:37 PM willfmarlowe: Nurse Kellys?

8:10:48 PM vadmblackthorne: Because I feel that we're flying right into a trap.

8:10:54 PM majdougmcknight: Well...some of those are entertaining enough, I'm told.  It's got the sex anyway.

8:10:56 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> ::turns and fixes the doctor with a disinterested look:: Yes, sir?

8:11:17 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  ::nods::  Sure...

8:11:21 PM willfmarlowe: What were you doing in that lab for so long?

8:11:27 PM lttkirr: ::points with her chin behind Ducaine:: I could use your help with the port warp manifold of my Mustang.  It sustained minor damage in our last attack.

8:11:33 PM danducwilliams: ::smiles and heads out:: Thank ya sir.

8:11:34 PM cmdrshelev: ::Flat antennae:: Yes, charming.. ::grumble::

8:11:41 PM danducwilliams: ::into the TL:: Sick...bay!

8:11:43 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> Research. I'm sorry, sir. I'll try to pay more attention to my duties in the future.

8:11:56 PM majdougmcknight: ::Having entered the armory, and nodded to the two guards, opens up one of the many phaser type 1 lockers.  Take your pick, sir, and we'll get started.

8:11:58 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::nods::  OK... ::heads that way::  Anything specific?

8:12:08 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  ::looks at Dan::  Got to be a virgin...  ::chuckles to himself::

8:12:23 PM kileyairell: And if we are?  Worrying is just going to make us sloppy Sir

8:12:37 PM cmdrshelev: ::Pulls second phaser from the right, inspects the current settings::

8:12:47 PM willfmarlowe: ::furrows his brow again, but this time without the lightheartedness:: See that you do. ::looks as though he wants to say something else, but can't seem to remember what it was::

8:12:54 PM cmdrshelev: Looks good enough for fleet work.

8:13:22 PM danducwilliams: ::wanders out of the TL and makes his way into sickbay:: 'Allo there, anybody around?

8:13:24 PM majdougmcknight: I wouldn't tolerate it in my armory if it wasn't.

8:13:36 PM willfmarlowe: See to that patient. ::nods to Williams::

8:13:47 PM lttkirr: I've only done a preliminary scan.  I coul tell immediately that it needed an engineer's expertise. ::points to the scanner she used on a nearby cargo container::

8:13:48 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> ::heads over to Williams:: Can I help you?

8:13:57 PM lttkirr: <<*could>>

8:14:05 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> ::her tone is flat and unwelcoming::

8:14:35 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::nods and runs a scan::  The primary control unit was destablized.  Must have been rocked hard to do that.  It'll need to be replaced, but I don't have the equipment on me for that.  I'll have someone repair it ASAP.

8:14:42 PM cmdrshelev: I'd hope so. You should have seen the cobwebs on the Saint High..lare..

8:15:06 PM danducwilliams: ::smiles brightly:: Well, sure! Me thinks I need to do my physical 'ere. I imagine you'd be quite the lass to help me with that.

8:15:16 PM cmdrshelev: Wow, I think that's the first time I pronounced the first half of that right.

8:15:25 PM vadmblackthorne: ::sips his tea:: Worrying will keep me alert.

8:15:38 PM majdougmcknight: ::Picks up a PADD as he steps over toward the shooting range, smiling as he does so::  We'll start you off with some basic target practice.  What would you like to shoot at right now?

8:15:42 PM lttkirr: Thank you. ::puts the PADD down and picks up the scanner next to it, looking over her recent work on Blackthorne's fighter::

8:15:55 PM kileyairell: ::grins:: I think that Tea will keep you awake

8:15:56 PM ltcdrhducaine: Anything wrong with his?  ::motions to the Admiral's fighter::

8:16:14 PM vadmblackthorne: That's the idea.

8:16:22 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> This way, please. ::leads him over to biobed 1 and gestures for him to sit down:: I'll need to conduct some preliminary scans. . . . ::picks up a medcorder from a tray nearby and starts the scan::

8:16:32 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> Have you been in good health?

8:16:57 PM cmdrshelev: Let's start with the 5 meter test.. I should be able to hit that..

8:17:15 PM lttkirr: Not anymore.  ::flips closed her scanner.  Just a minor hull fracture, but I've repaired it.

8:17:19 PM majdougmcknight: You betcha.

8:17:22 PM kileyairell: ::chuckles and shakes head::

8:17:24 PM danducwilliams: ::sits on the biobed:: As far as I can tell, yuup. You don't sound to chipper for working at the moment. Am I really that uninteresting? ::smiles again::

8:17:33 PM cmdrshelev: ::Puts phaser down on the bench briefly while he wipes down his glasses on a handkerchief::

8:17:43 PM ltcdrhducaine: Very good.  Anything else you need of me?

8:17:56 PM cmdrshelev: Ready when you are. ::Points phaser downrange::

8:17:58 PM majdougmcknight: ::Grins slyly::  Computer, load program 13-A.

8:18:22 PM majdougmcknight: ::At that, the holographic image of a sturdily built Vulcan male appears 5 meters distant::

8:18:24 PM willfmarlowe: Kellys> ::looks up at him:: Yes. ::returns to her medcorder:: I'll let the doctor know you're here.

8:18:34 PM lttkirr: No, I believe that is all.  Thank you, Mr. Ducaine.

8:18:37 PM cmdrshelev: ::Smiles:: Oh, you're good.

8:18:57 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::nods again, as if it were his custom::  Pleasure to have met you.  ::heads for the door::

8:19:12 PM cmdrshelev: ::Misses vulcan's head by 10cm::

8:19:20 PM lttkirr: ::picks up the PADD again, making a few notes::

8:19:24 PM cmdrshelev: That was warmup.

8:19:32 PM willfmarlowe: ::walks out of his office:: Good morning, Mr. . . . ?

8:19:54 PM majdougmcknight: ::Grimaces and records it on his PADD::  Maybe it'd be best to start off with the torso.  Just to get the rhythm going.

8:20:12 PM danducwilliams: ::blinks, still over the utter rejection:: Ducaine-Williams Doc.

8:20:22 PM cmdrshelev: ::Relieved that McKnight didn't pick up that he WAS aiming at the torso::

8:20:36 PM majdougmcknight: (Oh dear.)

8:20:39 PM lttkirr: <<rofl>>

8:20:56 PM willfmarlowe: ::checks over a PADD:: I see. New engineer?

8:21:09 PM cmdrshelev: ::Aims carefully::

8:21:21 PM danducwilliams: Yes sir.

8:21:35 PM cmdrshelev: :: Hits vulcan's left shoulder::

8:21:52 PM cmdrshelev: (( gogo 1d12))

8:22:08 PM vadmblackthorne: ::finishes his tea and stands:

8:22:46 PM ltcdrhducaine: +Jeddin+  I need someone to replace the port warp manifold stabilizer on a Fighter in the fighterbay.

8:22:50 PM cmdrshelev: (( no I'm just rolling to see if he hits something ))

8:22:55 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  +Ducaine+  Which one, Commander?

8:23:05 PM danducwilliams: ((ahhh, excellent))

8:23:07 PM ltcdrhducaine: +Jeddin+  The one with the callsign... ::looks at his PADD:: ...Sehlat.

8:23:09 PM kileyairell: would it make you feel better if you were the aggressor Admiral?  If you went hunting them?

8:23:14 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  +Ducaine+  Aye, sir.

8:23:20 PM vadmblackthorne: We have to get to those Xindi.

8:23:20 PM willfmarlowe: Well, the scans didn't pick up anything extraordinary, so I believe that's all. ::looks up from the PADD:: Do you have any questions?

8:23:22 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::looks up::  Bridge.

8:23:43 PM majdougmcknight: ::Records a few points, though not so many as would be awarded for a dead center hit.::  Alright...but let's see if we can't keep it focused on the upper chest area.

8:23:51 PM danducwilliams: ::smiles:: Not that I can think of, aside from I should try to not get hurt.

8:24:33 PM lttkirr: ::rides nearest TL to the Bridge::

8:24:37 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::Steps out onto the bridge and beelines for his terminal::

8:24:43 PM willfmarlowe: ::chuckles:: Indeed.

8:25:18 PM cmdrshelev: ::Tries harder to aim, which of course makes his aim even worse, then fires::

8:25:28 PM danducwilliams: ::hops off the biobed:: Allrighty then, I'm outa here. ::heads back outa sickbay and into the TL:: en...gin..eer...ing

8:25:57 PM willfmarlowe: ::walks back to his office, making a few notes on his PADD::

8:26:00 PM cmdrshelev: ::Miraculously hits... 5cm closer to target from his last shot::

8:26:04 PM lttkirr: ::enters the Bridge, holding a hand up to Logan to indicate he stay put, as she steps down to the Admiral and Kiley::

8:26:22 PM majdougmcknight: Good...Maybe it'd help if I let you in on a select little factoid, sir.  If things get hairy out here, you'll be expected to strap one of those suckers on, whether or not you can hit the broad side of a barn. 

8:26:24 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::looks at T'Kirr and then looks back at his diagnostics he has running::

8:26:45 PM vadmblackthorne: Lieutenant.

8:26:57 PM kileyairell: Greetings TKirr

8:27:03 PM majdougmcknight: Even lookinf like a threat is better than nothing most of the time.  A wespon's at its most effective when you don't have to use it.

8:27:08 PM majdougmcknight: (looking)

8:27:14 PM cmdrshelev: Thank you, Major. I appreciate the.. factoid.

8:27:22 PM danducwilliams: ::hops outa the TL and heads into engineering:: Did ya miss me? ::to Jeddin::

8:27:48 PM lttkirr: ::nods to Kiley, then hands two PADDs to Blackthorne, the top one being an update on fighter status::

8:27:50 PM majdougmcknight: Don't mention it, sir.  You can thank me by hitting the target.

8:28:10 PM cmdrshelev: ::Looks at the target.::

8:28:16 PM cmdrshelev: ::Looks at McKnight::

8:28:21 PM vadmblackthorne: ::takes them, looks over the fighter status::

8:28:29 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  About as much as a dental patient misses a root canal...

8:28:29 PM vadmblackthorne: ::nods approvingly::

8:28:40 PM majdougmcknight: Look at it this way.  It just said your mother was a sehlat.

8:28:41 PM vadmblackthorne: ::goes to the next one:: Hmmmm, what's this.

8:28:45 PM cmdrshelev: ::Looks at the target again, grabs phaser off the bench, and fires without even trying to aim for more than a second::

8:29:04 PM danducwilliams: Hmm... well was it at least a nasty root canal? ::grins::

8:29:16 PM cmdrshelev: :: Nails the vulcan in the neck.::

8:29:17 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  ::doesn't even respond to it::

8:29:41 PM vadmblackthorne: Summary, Lieutenant?

8:29:53 PM lttkirr: A new defense design for the fighters.  In close proximity to Atlantis, it would enhance the fighters' shields against phaser attacks.

8:29:54 PM danducwilliams: ::heads over to a console and taps oddly:: So, got any jobs for me bossman?

8:29:58 PM cmdrshelev: << I just rolled a 1, so you don't think I'm trying for a cliche here..>>

8:30:23 PM majdougmcknight: (Heavens, no.)

8:30:40 PM lttkirr: Mr. Ducaine agrees it would work, however it would require extensive modifications.

8:30:54 PM vadmblackthorne: Modifications? To my design? ::smirks::

8:30:59 PM cmdrshelev: ...How much was that worth?

8:31:01 PM kileyairell: ::listens::

8:31:11 PM majdougmcknight: ::Records::  More than the shoulder.

8:31:25 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::looks up::  Yes, sir.  ::smirks::  It's good, but nothing is perfect.

8:31:47 PM lttkirr: It would be specifically designed to absorb Machen Bren phaser fire.

8:31:54 PM vadmblackthorne: ::nods:: Do it.

8:32:00 PM cmdrshelev: I'll rephrase; how am I doing so far?

8:32:32 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  Yes, actually...  ::tosses him another PADD::  I need the port warp manifold stabilizer changed on the fighter marked 'Sehlat' in the fighterbay.  Chop chop, we don't know how much time before we may need them again.

8:32:42 PM lttkirr: ::nods, glancing at Ducaine on her way out::

8:33:11 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::again, looks at her butt:: 

8:33:20 PM lttkirr: <<Pfft>>

8:33:31 PM lttkirr: ::returns to Assault Bay::

8:33:35 PM cmdrshelev: <<There is a larget than normal quantity of vulcan posterior in this sim>>

8:33:36 PM danducwilliams: ::chuckles:: Hey, I love working on fighters! ::not sarcastic this time as he grabs a kit and heads on down to the bay::

8:34:17 PM vadmblackthorne: ::puts the changes aside to read for later.

8:34:19 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  Would someone tranq him?

8:34:42 PM kileyairell: why not read them now Admiral?  There's plenty of time.

8:34:46 PM majdougmcknight: Don't miss again.  A head shot, or 1 to the chest and 2 to the abdomen, and you're golden.

8:34:51 PM lttkirr: <<He's brooding.>>

8:35:21 PM ltcdrhducaine: Kendricks>  Sir? 

8:35:22 PM danducwilliams: ::enters into the bay where the fighters are at, humming a tune to himself::

8:35:24 PM cmdrshelev: ::Exhales::

8:35:26 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  He's too... peppy.

8:35:31 PM kileyairell: ((LOL))

8:35:49 PM cmdrshelev: ::stares the holographic vulcan down::

8:35:51 PM danducwilliams: ((peppy! i resent that! :)))

8:35:59 PM ltcdrhducaine: {{No, you RESEMBLE that...}}

8:36:04 PM lttkirr: ::runs into Duc Williams just inside the bay doors:: You must be the engineer assigned to repair my Mustang.

8:36:16 PM vadmblackthorne: Not necessary. I trust my crew.

8:36:29 PM cmdrshelev: ::mutters "Greenskin ears bowl haircut spying little.."::

8:36:41 PM cmdrshelev: ::Yanks phaser from the bench and fires without hesitation::

8:36:46 PM danducwilliams: ::looks over and smiles:: I would be, assuming your mustang's got the name Sehlat on it.

8:36:48 PM kileyairell: ::chuckles:: Mind if I take a look?

8:36:57 PM vadmblackthorne: Have at it. You'll be flying one with this change.

8:37:12 PM cmdrshelev: ::Shoots the holographic vulcan in the crotch.::

8:37:12 PM lttkirr: ::perks a brow:: Indeed.

8:37:13 PM vadmblackthorne: I'll double check the engineering of it later.

8:37:18 PM kileyairell: ::takes the PADD and starts looking over the changes:: Thank you Sir.

8:37:19 PM vadmblackthorne: ((HAHAHAHA))

8:37:28 PM lttkirr: <<Didn't see THAT coming...>>

8:37:35 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::finishes his diagnostics report and stands, moves to the turbolift::

8:37:39 PM majdougmcknight: Well...ouch.

8:37:51 PM cmdrshelev: ...How much was that worth?

8:38:13 PM danducwilliams: ::nods:: Well then, mind pointing it out to me ms...?

8:38:26 PM majdougmcknight: Not quite enough.  2 to the chest, or a head shot.

8:38:34 PM cmdrshelev: ::sigh::

8:38:56 PM vadmblackthorne: The idea seems sound enough though. I designed the Mustangs with not having a capital ship for immediate support.

8:39:08 PM lttkirr: Just T'Kirr.  ::motions with her eyes at the bow of the fighter above William's head::

8:39:17 PM cmdrshelev: ::spends a few seconds moving his glasses around::

8:39:32 PM cmdrshelev: Ah, there we go.

8:39:45 PM willfmarlowe: ::realizes Kellys hasn't yet had a physical and exits his office:: Nurse Kellys?

8:39:54 PM cmdrshelev: ::Goes back to carefully aiming the phaser downrange, fires::

8:40:14 PM kileyairell: It definately seems interesting

8:40:46 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> She's not here. It's her lunch break.

8:40:50 PM danducwilliams: ::spins and sees the fighter. spins back around and smiles:: Well then T'Kirr, it was a pleasure meeting you, and I do believe that your fighter will be in tip-top shape after I do some work on it. Name's Dan. Dan Ducaine-Williams.

8:40:54 PM cmdrshelev: ::Shot grazes the vulcan's right ear. If he were human, it would've missed.::

8:40:59 PM cmdrshelev: Headshot!

8:41:03 PM lttkirr: ::approaches the console nearest to Blackthorne's Mustang and brings up the PSTS design::

8:41:04 PM willfmarlowe: Ah. She hasn't had a physical yet. Let me know as soon as she returns.

8:41:10 PM willfmarlowe: Northe> You got it.

8:42:24 PM lttkirr: ::looks up:: Yes, I remember your name from the roster.  ::pauses:: Welcome aboard, Ensign.

8:42:45 PM majdougmcknight: Sorry, sir.  I imagine that'd be enough to piss even Lieutenant T'Kirr off, but not enough to incpacitate.  And for a Vulcan...that's a cheap shot.

8:42:59 PM danducwilliams: ::decides that since he's 3 for 3 on the rejection list that it's just not a good sign:: Thank ya ma'am. ::turns to the fighter:: Alrighty then Mr. Mustang, lets get you patched up. ::heads over to the mustang and starts fiddling::

8:43:22 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::rides the turbolift down and then steps into Engineering:: 

8:43:27 PM ltcdrhducaine: God, and people wonder why I stay down here.

8:43:31 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  ::smiles:: Agreed, sir.

8:43:51 PM cmdrshelev: ::sigh:: Today's not my day I guess. I take it I can try again tomorrow?

8:44:09 PM majdougmcknight: ::The simulation shuts down automatically::  By all means.  In the meantime, I'd suggest a stronger prescription, or failing that, practice.

8:44:26 PM vadmblackthorne: :sits back down and summons another cup of tea::

8:44:37 PM majdougmcknight: In fact, if you ignore everything else, remember that last word there.

8:44:51 PM cmdrshelev: I'll take it in mind, Major.

8:45:12 PM majdougmcknight: Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?

8:45:32 PM ltcdrhducaine: I have junior up working on the Sehlat Mustang.  He's got a damn good work ethic and a damn annoying personality.

8:45:35 PM cmdrshelev: I guess I'll check out a lane tomorrow for a few hours. ::Powers off phaser, hands it to McKnight:: No, that should do it, Major.

8:45:39 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  *

8:45:48 PM ltcdrhducaine: ::smiles::  Yeah, but you can't have both, Major.

8:45:54 PM lttkirr: ::looks after Williams for a moment, her internal social meter alerting her::  So... ::uncomfortable pause:: ...I assume you are related to Mr. Ducaine?

8:45:56 PM ltcdrhducaine: Jeddin>  I do...  ::laughs::

8:46:55 PM cmdrshelev: Enjoy your raktajino.

8:47:07 PM majdougmcknight: ::Nods as he replaces the weapon in the locker::  Give the Admiral my regards.

8:47:15 PM danducwilliams: ::looks over with a questioning look:: I'm related to a Duncaine yeah, but how do you know about him?

8:47:18 PM cmdrshelev: I will. ::Nods and exits::

8:50:45 PM vadmblackthorne: We really are on track again.

8:50:50 PM cmdrshelev: Summarizing all that is going to be a pain ><

8:51:41 PM vadmblackthorne: More to come next week, as Blackthorne's suspicions might prove true...
