EnsAaron Markus: I noticed too, Jack. ElRiov trIdrys: What'd she say what'd she say?? Lt jg D Ellis: Things are starting to settle down and she;ll be back soon ElRiov trIdrys: good the Raptor and Golden Eagle crews will be very relieved to hear that Lt jg D Ellis: Kate is sleeping though the night, she just started back to work ElRiov trIdrys: that's good news. Lt jg D Ellis: She has an out of town guest staying with her but as soon as they leave she should have the time to hope back on ElRiov trIdrys: ::nodnod:: OK I'll make a note of it. Lt jg D Ellis: didn't get to talk to long. Kate decided to cut the conversation short Jack Leirone: Okay, guys. Now's the time we think of our own scenarios to possibly fit what these two are talking about. EnsAaron Markus: h-o-p, maybe?? Lt jg D Ellis: hop? OnlineHost: VAdm Blackthorne has entered the room. EnsAaron Markus: Admiral on deck! ElRiov trIdrys: Evening Admiral Jack Leirone: ::hides:: Jack Leirone: Oh. Lt jg D Ellis: You just missed the update, Admiral VAdm Blackthorne: Hey everyone! Jack Leirone: Sorry. Instincts, you know... Lt jg D Ellis: I talked to Chip tonight VAdm Blackthorne: Yeah? Kiley Airell: REally? VAdm Blackthorne: Spill it. :) Kiley Airell: Yes Lt jg D Ellis: She's doing great. The baby is wonderful. She just started back to work and things are settling down.. VAdm Blackthorne: Awesome! Lt jg D Ellis: She has a house guest right now, but she plans on being back soon Kiley Airell: Great! Jack Leirone: I get it now. VAdm Blackthorne: Good. Can't wait to have her back. Kiley Airell: Yeah, would be nice to talk to her again! Lt jg D Ellis: She said to tell you that she'd still better have her swidish fish... ::shrugs:: ElRiov trIdrys: ::blinks:: OnlineHost: LtDougMcKnight has entered the room.

VAdm Blackthorne: Oh, Swedish Fish are in the arm of the XO's chair on Atlantis, so she's 8) Lt jg D Ellis: LOL Lt jg D Ellis: so that would explain the ants VAdm Blackthorne: ::laughs:: EnsAaron Markus: I was wondering about that... EnsAaron Markus: Thought maybe it was my pizza soup... OnlineHost: CptKetchum has entered the room. OnlineHost: CptKetchum has left the room. Lt jg D Ellis: ok that still sounds gross EnsAaron Markus: ::laughs:: VAdm Blackthorne: Alright, since we have happy news, let's get started. Lt jg D Ellis: if pizza were meant to be soup it wouldn't come on bread VAdm Blackthorne: Attention on deck!

VAdm Blackthorne: Last week we had tracked the crystalline vessel to an anomaly in space, where the trail ceased. OnlineHost: CptKetchum has left the room. VAdm Blackthorne: After sending a probe through the anomaly, we started getting information back that the other side was 10,000 light years away and in intergalactic space. VAdm Blackthorne: Unfortunately, we seemed to have made someone aware of our presence, because the anomaly is slowly closing. VAdm Blackthorne: Blackthorne isn't about to take the ship through without a guaranteed way home, so we're now working on a way to stabilize the anomaly. VAdm Blackthorne: Questions? LtDougMcKnight: Oh, thank God. LtDougMcKnight: No questions. ElRiov trIdrys: God > You're welcome ... ElRiov trIdrys: O:-) LtDougMcKnight: I thougth we were gonna pull a Voyager. Jack Leirone: Jesus> Dad, you embarass me sometimes. LtDougMcKnight: thought, even VAdm Blackthorne: ::laughs:: VAdm Blackthorne: Blackthorne > Janeway Lt jg D Ellis: Goddess> Will you two shut up and watch the show LtDougMcKnight: It never ceased to amaze me that someone didn;t mutiny and shoot that witch. VAdm Blackthorne: Alright, since there are no questions and we have a divine audience....

Lt jg D Ellis: I could run it though the computer, Admiral, but by the time I got you your absolutes.. The anomaly will be closed VAdm Blackthorne: Then we will let it close. I will not touch off a possible war by doing what may be perceived as an attack on this race's home territory. EnsAaron Markus: ::low to Jack:: Compared to that....::nods head toward back:: Jack Leirone: ::sits at engineering:: Lt jg D Ellis: ::shrugs.. thought the act of war would have been shooting at it already:: As you wish, Admiral.. Jack Leirone: ::low to Markus:: Huh. EnsAaron Markus: ::shakes head:: Nevermind.... Jack Leirone: ::keeps finding himself glancing over shoulder at Kiley:: VAdm Blackthorne: If it closes and they come back, then we'll be ready to contact them peacefully. If they never come back, then no more harm is done. EnsAaron Markus: ::sees Jack glancing at Kiley and puts head back down...thinking:: None of my business. Lt jg D Ellis: And if they come back with reinforcements? WillFMarlowe: Alvarez> I looked like this when I woke up . . . ::his face is blue and splotchy, and very cold to the touch:: VAdm Blackthorne: You would rather we charge forward alone into their territory? EnsAaron Markus: We could send more probes to let us know how many and when they are coming... EnsAaron Markus: Sir... WillFMarlowe: Let's have a look at you. ::helps Alvarez to a biobed and pulls a medcorder out of his smock:: EnsAaron Markus: ::thinks to self:: Stupid, stupid...don't forget to say sir...

They've even claimed part of it Kiley Airell: ::looks over at Leirone, smiles and looks to the Admiral:: EnsAaron Markus: ::turns to argue, then stops and calms himself:: But they've left... VAdm Blackthorne: It looks to me like they ran home. Jack Leirone: ::quickly looks away when she glances and rubs hand on back of neck:: Jack Leirone: ::thinks:: Damn it. VAdm Blackthorne: Now if that thing goes and gets its big brother, we should be able to communicate with them by the time they return, right Ellis? LtDougMcKnight: ::Plays around with a Chinese finger trap:: EnsAaron Markus: <<bored, Doug?>> ElRiov trIdrys: :::goes over to replicator, gets a couple of iced silk chais, brings them back to T'Nal, sips at one himself::: Lt jg D Ellis: Yes Admiral. I've almost got the program debuged.. It'll work when they get back ElRiov trIdrys: T'Nal > :::sips::: VAdm Blackthorne: Perhaps then we can avoid further conflict. Lt jg D Ellis: ::hopes she got past the attack=aflack problem:: EnsAaron Markus: ::readies a couple more probes just in case:: Kiley Airell: we might be able to talk to it, but that doesn't mean they will listen Admiral. VAdm Blackthorne: And as for leaving a probe, that would be a diplomatic faux-paus. Espionage isn't a good way to make First Contact. EnsAaron Markus: Aye, sir. Lt jg D Ellis: ::nods her agreement with Kiley:: VAdm Blackthorne: Needless to say, if they don't listen, we'll respond with necessary force. WillFMarlowe: ::scans the crewman:: Your circulation is very poor. ::taps a few keys:: Horrible, in fact. ::looks up:: But that doesn't explain the discoloration. Have you eaten anything new lately?

Lt jg D Ellis: (LOL.. Eric, you do know Banshee is like not in the same time line we are right?.. lol) ElRiov trIdrys: ( and when did that stop any of us from having fun? ;) ) EnsAaron Markus: Normally a drop like this is overlooked as a minor glitch or sunspot or interference...but not at the same time on all sensors... VAdm Blackthorne: ::takes his seat and listens to the conversation:: WillFMarlowe: You'll probably be in there for only a few hours. I just want to run some tests, see what's going on. I think a dose of antibiotics will take care of everything, but I want to be sure it isn't dangerous.

WillFMarlowe: Alvarez> ::obviously a little unnerved as Marlowe enters the quarantined area and begins taking blood samples:: Uh, pretty bad. Whatever it was, it tore us up pretty badly.

During your power drain there was a flux in the sheilding of the fighters and the ship.. As if something were.. bounced.. off them.. WillFMarlowe: I'm glad to hear they've implemented those new regulations on zero-G repair work. VAdm Blackthorne: Harmonics. See if it was similar to the trail they left. Jack Leirone: Dad> Okay.
