7:42:41 PM vadmblackthorne: Alright, tonight we have
successfully captured the Machen Bren spy shuttle. It's sitting in cargo bay
one being combed over by Engineers.
7:42:51 PM vadmblackthorne: Its crew of two are in our brig, of
course.
7:43:23 PM vadmblackthorne: News of their capture has spread
through the Xindi fleet and several of the captains are reporting civil unrest
as the civilians demand justice for the crimes of the Machen Bren.
7:43:56 PM vadmblackthorne: We have successfully evaded the
inbound attack force that the spy shuttle was leading to us, and are moving
again, but...
7:43:56 PM zmordonnon: Which species of Xindi? There are 6....
7:44:05 PM vadmblackthorne: A mixed variety of them.
7:44:21 PM vadmblackthorne: And please do not interrupt the
brief. I'll ask for questions afterwards.
7:44:22 PM zmordonnon: I mean the two in the Brig
7:45:10 PM vadmblackthorne: Several of the Xindi ships must
stop soon to aid in their reactor cooling because of limited warp drives.
7:46:09 PM vadmblackthorne: The two prisoners are Machen Bren,
not Xindi.
7:46:14 PM vadmblackthorne: Questions?
7:46:25 PM cmdrshelev: Is our engineer still in sickbay?
7:46:33 PM zmordonnon: Duh...sorry....
7:46:35 PM vadmblackthorne: No.
7:47:51 PM vadmblackthorne: Any others?

7:53:55 PM cmdrshelev: ::Climbs out of the shuttle.:: Ok, it's
open. Mostly. Lieutenant, get an ODN harness clamped into that thing.
7:55:17 PM cmdrshelev: Lt. Tapir> Aye, commander. Did you
leave us anything to work with?
7:55:29 PM zmordonnon: ::::placing the ship briefly on auto

7:55:43 PM cmdrshelev: There's still some wires left. Damned if
I know what they do; that's your job.
7:55:58 PM majdougmcknight: +Blackthorne+ Healthy, and
tight-lipped. These folks are
professional as they come, no doubt about it. I'm holding them seperately for now...it's possible the
isolation, and a few well worded updates as to the disposition of the
7:56:34 PM majdougmcknight: Xindi fleet might make them a little
more cooperative. But I can't
promise anything at this point.
7:57:36 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ I would like to visit
them in a bit, personally.

8:00:52 PM lcdrtkirr: +Jolly Roger+ This is Atlantis. I have you on sensors.
8:01:11 PM majdougmcknight: (BRB)
8:01:35 PM zmordonnon: +Atlantis+ Greetings...I am Mordonnon
Zel, who might have the pleasure of speaking to?
8:02:00 PM vadmblackthorne: Who in the bloody hell is that?
8:02:33 PM kileyairell: good question.
8:03:16 PM lcdrtkirr: +Jolly Roger+ This is Lieutenant Commander
T'Kirr. You are from Starfleet?
8:03:57 PM lcdrtkirr: <<Sorry, for some reason I thought
you were in RR, B>>
8:04:27 PM vadmblackthorne: Starfleet? Bloody hell, how did he
get out here?
8:04:30 PM zmordonnon: +Atlantis+ Affirmative...I just happen to
have my own transport. I am your new helmsman.
8:05:00 PM kileyairell: ::wonders why starfleet would send a new
officer to the Atlantis, while they were out in Mach Bren space::
8:05:01 PM lcdrtkirr: ::looks toward Blackthorne::
8:05:56 PM cmdrshelev: (( ::Wonders how the hell he didn't get
shot down:: ))
8:06:22 PM vadmblackthorne: This is highly irregular.
8:06:34 PM zmordonnon: :::brings the Jolly Roger into a parallel
course with the Atlantis:::
8:06:36 PM majdougmcknight: (It's what comic fans refer to as
plot induced stupidity. The Machen
Bren had a few off days.)
8:06:43 PM lcdrtkirr: Shall I let him approach, sir?
8:06:57 PM vadmblackthorne: Sensor sweep. Verify that he's not
Machen Bren or anything other than what his records say he should be.
8:07:20 PM lcdrtkirr: Already done, sir. I detect nothing irregular.
8:07:44 PM lcdrtkirr: His signature is definitely Starfleet.
8:08:13 PM vadmblackthorne: Bring him aboard, shuttle bay
three.
8:08:14 PM zmordonnon: +Atlantis+ You got a parking place for
the Roger? I will bring her in.
8:08:20 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ Blackthorne to McKnight.
8:08:38 PM majdougmcknight: +Blackthorne+ McKnight here.
8:08:48 PM lcdrtkirr: +Jolly Roger+ Jolly Roger, you are cleared
for Shuttle Bay Three. We are
prepared for you to dock.
8:09:28 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ Meet our new helmsman,
arriving in shuttlebay three. He has somehow managed to make it all the way
here on his own transport.
8:10:03 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::rocks on his heels, peering
over T'Kirr's shoulder::
8:10:14 PM zmordonnon: + Atlantis + Acknowledged:::coming in for
a landing with no trouble:::
8:10:39 PM majdougmcknight: +Blackthorne+ So I gathered. 4 of my men have already been diverted
from deck patrol, just in case.
I'm on my way to join them now.
8:10:58 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ I find this remarkable,
so you certainly understand my curiosity about his nature.
8:11:35 PM majdougmcknight: +Blackthorne+ Preaching to the
choir, sir. If he so much as talks
funny, you'll know about it.
8:11:51 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ Thank you, Major.
Blackthorne out.
8:12:01 PM lcdrtkirr: ::watches the shuttle dock:: His vessel is
in the bay.
8:12:09 PM kileyairell: Did you know we were getting a new
helmsman Admiral?
8:13:17 PM majdougmcknight: ::Strides into the shuttlebay,
standing before the shuttle with a sidearm at his side, flanked by 4 marines in
helmets and black BDUs, phaser compression rifles aimed and ready::
8:13:41 PM vadmblackthorne: Yes, I had assumed when we returned
to Federation space.
8:14:15 PM majdougmcknight: ::Draws said phaser as he waits for
the hatch to open::

8:17:53 PM majdougmcknight: ::Gestures to his men to lower their
weapons slightly, but keep them ready::
Sorry, ensign. We're all a
little jumpy around here. Not to
mention curious as to how a lone shuttle travels out all this way through
hostile space
8:17:58 PM majdougmcknight: without a scratch.
8:18:30 PM majdougmcknight: ::Turns to one of the marines with a
tricorder, and nods to Mordonnon's bags::
Give 'em a quick scan.
8:18:54 PM vadmblackthorne: +Shelev+ Blackthorne to Shelev.
8:19:37 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+ Shelev
8:19:54 PM vadmblackthorne: +Shelev+ Found anything out about
that shuttle?
8:20:37 PM zmordonnon: :::waits for a sign:::>Well...that's
where dry ice....and fireworks come in handy. Diversionary tactics...
8:21:26 PM zmordonnon: >Uh...and wouldn't say without a
scratch...the Roger has blast scars to prove it
8:21:37 PM zmordonnon: >I just fly REALLY well.
8:22:06 PM cmdrshelev: Resend: +Blackthorne+ They don't use
federation standard anything. They also don't store anything in the computers.
We have a flight recorder, but it only has what we already know in it.
8:22:46 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+ It's built like a tank,
though. I'll give em that.
8:22:56 PM vadmblackthorne: +Shelev+ Any idea how to fly it?
8:23:12 PM cmdrshelev: ::Looks at the bin containing the broken
control panel.::
8:23:21 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+ Maybe.
8:24:03 PM majdougmcknight: ::Gets the negative shake of the
head from his scanner, and gestures to his men to lower their weapons
entirely:: Then I imagine we
should find a place for you soon enough.
8:24:06 PM majdougmcknight: I suggest you report to the bridge,
ASAP. Admiral Blackthorne's a
little curious himself.
8:24:06 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+ We have an ODN harness
wired into what used to be the control panel; if we put a federation one on top
of it, someone can probably make it move.
8:24:15 PM vadmblackthorne: +Shelev+ That's the idea.
8:24:22 PM zmordonnon: ::::what the Marine will have scanned in
the immediate carry sack is a quilt, first aid kit, and a frying pan:::
8:24:38 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+ I'll get someone right on
it. Shelev out.
8:24:39 PM vadmblackthorne: +Shelev+ Keep me updated. Also, get
on the horn and find out how the Xindi are dealing with the unrest that's going
on regarding our prisoners.
8:25:26 PM zmordonnon: >ALL> Fair enough :::extending a
hand::: Nice to meet you Major ? ::raising an eyebrow::
8:26:44 PM majdougmcknight: ::Takes it:: McKnight. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some guests to attend
to. Welcome aboard.
8:27:18 PM cmdrshelev: Tapir, go get a standard shuttle helm and
patch it into that harness. I want it flyable.
8:27:38 PM majdougmcknight: ::With that, turns and exits the
shuttlebay, marines in tow, before turning back at the last moment:: Uh...you need any help with that gear,
ensign?
8:27:39 PM zmordonnon: >McKnight> Marines with guests....I
KNOW what that means carry on Major, I will find my way around.
8:27:46 PM cmdrshelev: Lt. Tapir> It WAS flyable.
8:28:10 PM lcdrtkirr: <<I feel sorry for your NPC's name,
Shelev =P>>

to deck patrol::

it to the Bridge:::
8:32:05 PM majdougmcknight: +Blackthorne+ I've just come from
the shuttlebay, sir. Near as I can
figure, the new guy's legit. As
for how he's not space dust by now, he's either very good, very lucky, or both.
8:32:34 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ Thank you, Major. I'm
holding you responsible if he turns into a face-sucking chestburster.

out here? We're deep in enemy territory, isolated from the Federation. Did you
at least bring the mail?
8:38:08 PM zmordonnon: >Blackthorne> Thank you sir...that
is kind of a laundry list of positions.
8:38:31 PM zmordonnon: >Would NOT have come without Mail...
8:39:14 PM vadmblackthorne: Quite courteous of you, then.
Station please.
8:39:47 PM vadmblackthorne: Counselor, please schedule a psych
eval for the Ensign here, and since we're short on doctors, a physical.

sentence on you.
8:48:02 PM vadmblackthorne: By the power invested in me by the
King of Mars, I promote you to the hallowed rank of Lieutenant Commander on the
USS Atlantis. May Bob have Circe in your bowl!

neither the Commander nor I will be able to attend next week, due to business
travel.
8:50:16 PM lcdrtkirr: ::ignorantly lets the proclamation pass,
having no idea what Circe is::
8:50:46 PM lcdrtkirr: Maybe a few of us could right logs or
something.
8:50:46 PM cmdrshelev: Also because the Admiral will be steaming
drunk at precisely 7:30PM.
8:50:52 PM zmordonnon: Legendary Siren....lures sailors to their
death....
8:50:56 PM vadmblackthorne: More like 7:15.
8:51:19 PM cmdrshelev: This is a business trip. I'm accounting
for the fact that they'll be serving weak stuff after last year.
8:51:32 PM vadmblackthorne: But yes, in this two weeks between
sims, I would love to see some logs!
8:51:46 PM kileyairell: You'd ALWAYS love to see some logs
