<<OOC: Ok everyone. I'm back from the wedding and my wife and I had a

blast. After finally getting through all my email, I see we had a little

problem with consistency. I'm glad to see that I have a crew that can handle

things on their own, when command is not readily available to handle such

matters.



Now this may seem like a comb over but we don't need to alter past logs. It

takes more energy than it is worth and we are already past the point of it

mattering. We will *all* start from where this log below takes

everyone.>>

==========



Davis> Ensign Ruckwood, what happened to your 'early warning' system?



Ruckwood> I don’t know sir, it didn’t register any movement. I’ll

investigate into it.



::Davis looked through the giant hole in the cargo bay where he could see the

early morning signs start to paint over the black ink of night::  Don’t

bother Ensign we have more important things to deal with.  Turning to

everyone::



Davis> Ok people this is our last day.  Our final shot.  We need to get

this ship running and I mean now!  We have 16 at the most to get home. I want

us ready in 8.  Ktryna, get to the EMH and get that checked out.



Ktryna> But...



Davis> ::continuing::  Triss, accompany her.  ::to Ktryna::  When you are

released I want you ready in case we get another attack, and believe me there

will be.  The natives know this is our last day and they'll do whatever it

takes to stop us. Don't forget they've been through this before so they may

do some things we haven't seen yet. I want everyone armed and ready.



Tar'a, get together with Mr Ruckwood and get this ship flying and ready for

going through that portal.



Dach> Aye, sir.



Davis> Atlanta, get the ships sensors working.  We'll scrap Mr. Ruckwood's

devices.  I don't want anyone going outside of this ship.  Make sure the

sensors alert us if anything is detected within 10 km.  We're going to need

that extra readiness when time gets cramped.



Jade> Understood, Cmdr.



Davis> Triss, make rounds to make sure everything is going smoothly.



Triss> Yes, sir.



::Davis let out a huge breath, knowing this was now or never.::



Davis>  Now, one final thing.  In my quarters is a living organism that I

discovered during the Darkness war.  All information should be available in

the Galileo database, provided it survived the crash. It has special

properties and abilities that can help us get home.  It's a major part of

Ktryna's genetic make up.  It was also integrated into the USS Intrepid and

aided in fighting off a Panther attack as well as saved my life after a fatal

beating by their hands. I've trusted this 'gel' with my life.



::looks to everyone::



We've had our bouts or trust and mistrust, duplicity and games.  This is no

game people.  To get home you've got to trust me this last time.  This gel

can help us get home.  But I can't use it unless you all trust me with it. 

So if you have any objections, say them now.



::Davis looked around and knew he had just thrown everyone for a loop. 

Everyone excpet Ktryna and Triss.::



Dach> ::stepping up:: Sir, everyone here knows that I've been the biggest

critic ever since your arrival.  This last surprise gives me pause but ::long

silence:: I want to go home sir.  And if you have something that can help us

do it. Let's get going.



::Davis smiled and looked at Ruckwwod and Jade who nodded their acceptance::



Davis> Agreed.  Let's get going.



==========

<<OOC: As I said folks I'm moving this thing up a notch.  I am going to

send out a discovery report I made way back when for those that need to read

up on the gel.  Basically this gel idea is not new and has played an

important role on my post aboard the Intrepid ever since I was CSciO. And

another thing people. I think we've all read enough logs about how we've

mistrusted each other. Let's start putting in some positive logs about how we

work as a team. A question was posed about trials and just to make sure

everyone knows, we don't begin trials until we get all posts filled. Now that

doesn't mean what we are doing doesn't count towards anything. On the

contrary it makes us stronger for trials. Last I heard we have a good

candidate so keep your fingers crossed.>>
